"Should I leave?" Wang Changqi frowned, "Where am I going?"
"You'll find out later." Xia Zhaoyi said.
When she said these words, her expression was gentle and indifferent, and her eyes were elegant and smart, which made Wang Changqi feel that she was completely different from the vicious murderer's sister he thought.
I don't know if she is trying to be mysterious, but she is so calm and composed. If she is pretending, then her acting skills and mentality are both outstanding.
But if he wasn't pretending... Wang Changqi's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"What's your name, Zhang?" Wang Changqi asked.
Her two wanted brothers, one named Zhang Jun and the other named Zhang Ben, may be brothers and sisters with different surnames, because their appearance is too different.
As soon as he finished speaking, yelling and cursing suddenly came from outside.
Wang Changqi turned his head and the women in the courtyard also turned to look.
A waiter strode from the front and shouted in surprise: "Brother Wang Qi, the government officials are here!"
"What are they here for?" Wang Changqi was puzzled, "Isn't that matter settled today?"
He was referring to the disturbance that was deliberately caused on the street today, but it was just a small fight and dispersed quickly. Wait, Wang Changqi's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped forward and said, "What exactly happened?"
If it were really what happened on the street today, even if it hadn't been settled, it would be impossible for the government officials to find him at this juncture. What else was more important at the moment than the murder of Governor Huang and the rebellion of the chamber of commerce in Qianyamen.
If there is, then it is...
"They said we have the murderer of Governor Huang here, and they said he is hiding in our place!" The clerk ran over quickly, "Brother Wang Qi, think of a way! We can't hold you back! Why don't I go back to the inn to find the general first?
…”
The word "general" was immediately stopped and he did not dare to say any more.
At the same time, Wang Changqi also shouted angrily: "What are you looking for! Shut up!"
Things suddenly became confusing. Wang Changqi couldn't figure it out for a moment. He paused and suddenly turned his head to look at the girl beside him.
Facing the girl's bright eyes, Wang Changqi said in shock: "Is it you?!"
"Didn't I get arrested by you?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"That's your brother!?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked like she was thinking seriously, nodded and said, "Maybe."
"How is that possible!" Wang Changqi shouted, denying it himself. He knew it was ten men in black!
He was really confused now.
The yelling and cursing in front became louder. Hearing the noise, he rushed inside.
The women panicked. Although they didn't know what happened, they didn't want to be linked to such a major case as the murder of the assassin. Several of them opened the door to the backyard and ran away.
Wang Changqi calmed down and walked forward, intending to discuss Taoism.
After only taking a few steps, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed towards the backyard, and a large number of them went to the second floor.
Just as Wang Changqi was about to speak, the officers and soldiers didn't give him any room to speak. They came over and pushed him and his assistant to the ground.
The skin on his face rubbed against the gravel in the backyard, and the man yelled in pain. Wang Changqi ignored the pain. His first reaction was to look towards where the girl was, only to see that the girl had disappeared.
As he was being picked up and taken away, Wang Changqi suddenly thought of what the girl had just said.
"It's a pity that you have to leave soon."
Will be leaving soon.
soon……
Wang Changqi's eyes widened, feeling as if he had stepped into a trap.
·
More than one Wang Changqi was arrested.
The cell was across the street from the Yamen, very close to it. Wang Changqi and his clerk were pushed in, and most of the people were already locked inside.
Wang Changqi was a middle-aged man. Compared with a bunch of tall men, he was made slightly shorter. So he found a corner to sit. Wang Changqi still couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
No, he quickly realized that the key was not with himself, but with that girl.
"Brother Wang Qi, will Mr. Wenyuan come to rescue us?" the waiter asked in a low voice.
Wenyuan is the character of Zhang Zhi.
Wang Changqi shook his head: "No."
"Then what do we do?"
"I don't know." Wang Changqi said.
He has been with Zhang Zhi for many years. Although there is some master-servant relationship, Zhang Zhi is a person that Wang Changqi is very familiar with.
Accurate, ruthless, and uses plans without paying attention to the consequences, only for benefits.
Regarding the matter of them being suddenly captured, if they fail to find a way to save themselves within a day and a night, Zhang Zhizhi will not take care of it anyway. He will only send someone to investigate whether this matter will involve them, and then cut it off.
All dealings.
As for whether Wang Changqi's mouth will talk nonsense, either Wang Changqi is smart enough and knows what to say and what not to say, or someone from outside will come in and assassinate him.
The only thing that was somewhat lucky was Mr. Xin Shun.
Also as Tian Dayao's advisor, Mr. Xin Shun has a gentle temperament, is kind to others, and has a lot of benevolence and righteousness.
However, Wang Changqi and Xin Shun had very little contact, and they did not have much contact with Hengxiang this time. I wonder if Mr. Xin Shun will come to rescue him.
"We'd better not scare ourselves," the man said, finding words to comfort himself. "The government has arrested so many people, but the law has not punished them. When the real culprit is found, we will be released."
Wang Changqi looked towards the iron fence and said in his heart, I hope so.
If it was just an ordinary arrest, he thought it was possible.
But now, that girl's voice always rings in his ears, making him feel that things are not that simple.
What went wrong? Where exactly?

When Xia Zhaoyi found Zhi Changle and Lao Tong, they were eating roast chicken in the snack bar they had agreed upon.
Xia Zhaoyi put down the lotus leaf bag in his hand, and Zhi Changle opened it and saw another roast chicken. Zhi Changle and Lao Tong were immediately happy.
"I bought it on the road," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "the vendor was closing the stall and gave it to me at a cheap price."
"Close the stall now?" Zhi Changle looked outside, "It's not even noon yet."
"It's probably because Governor Huang was killed and they were afraid that Hengxiang would lose its owner," Lao Tong said.
Zhi Changle nodded his head, watched the girl turn over the upside-down teacup, picked up the small teapot and poured water slowly, and asked with concern: "Ali, are things going well for you there? Are they making things difficult for you?"
The tea was already cold and the leaves were a little bitter. Xia Zhaoyi drank it slowly and smiled leisurely: "It went well, they were all taken away."
"Then do you know who killed Governor Huang?" Lao Tong was curious.
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head.
"Ah? Ah Li, you don't know, then you let me and Zhi Changle lead people to arrest them, this..."
"There are many people who want to kill Governor Huang. I guess he will die today. Look, isn't he really dead?"
"Actually, he can survive," Zhi Changle said. "Ah Li said last night that he will die only if he fails to correct his position. Therefore, Governor Huang deserves it."
"Yes," Lao Tong nodded, "I deserve it."
The two of them ate while talking, and after finishing the roast chicken, they stretched out their big claws towards the roast chicken that Xia Zhaoyi brought back.
"Then where should we go next?" Zhi Changle asked while eating.
"Let's wait two days," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "Wang Changqi has to pull out the thorns on his body, and he can only stay with him after they are pulled out."
