When the Peng family opened the door, Peng Wanli didn't seem to see the murderous two hundred slaves at all, and went forward with great surprise: "Ah! Feng Jianxiao is also there, why are you two here?
Ah, it’s such a hot day, hurry up, hurry up, please get off your horse and sit down in the village.”
The Peng family's business covers both black and white, and the Yamen's care is indispensable. Therefore, the judges, prosecutors, inspectors, and arresters must be taken care of by the Peng family from time to time. Therefore, Peng Wanli, Zhao, and Inspector Feng are all familiar with each other.
, the two adults usually talked and laughed when they saw him, but now they had business-like cold faces, which were so gloomy and scary that Peng Wanli couldn't help but feel nervous.
Fortunately, his tentative words still had an effect. Zhao Ximo snorted coldly, lifted his robe, dismounted, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way from the front, and talk from behind."
After Peng Wanli heard this, his heart suddenly returned to his stomach. It seemed that it was not the fatal incident that had happened. Otherwise, Mr. Zhao Tuiguan would have ordered people to seize the bank. How could he risk his own life and go in?
Chatting with him about Lao Shizi.
Now that his heart was at peace, Peng Wanli couldn't help but secretly resented: "Every year I treat you like kings of the Ming Dynasty. There is no shortage of animals and fruits, and you are diligent and diligent during the New Year and festivals. If something happens, you will fall out faster than turning the pages of a book. You sons of bitches."
Damn thing!"
Peng Wanli was full of curses, but he did not dare to be disrespectful on his face. He secretly gestured to the family members in the mansion to take off their guard, and personally led the two adults into the hall. The patrolmen entered the manor and waited under the shade of the willows.
, Zhao Tuiguan and Feng Inspector held their heads high, went straight in with their swords in hand, and sat proudly in the hall, as if they were the masters of the room.
Peng Wanli offered the tea and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency is on business today. Why are you here?"
Zhao Tuiguan's face was as dark as water, and he sneered: "Peng Wanli, your family's business is quite big, including car dealerships, boat dealerships, mule and horse dealerships, tooth shops, inns, martial arts schools..., Shandong, Hebei, Henan
Jianghuai, Peng Zi’s banner is very loud.”
Peng Wanli smiled and said: "This is all because of your care. My Peng family is still diligent in doing things, so the business is booming."
"Prosperous? Then I will add another fire to your fire!" Zhao Tuiguan said "Bang!" and slammed the table, making the teacups and tea trays jump up: "Peng Wanli, your trouble has happened."
Peng Wanli was shocked, took two steps back, and said in a voiceless voice: "Master Tuiguan, where do you start with these words?"
"Where to start?" Zhao Tuiguan jumped up and pointed his finger on his nose: "Young master Yang Xuyang, a gentry in Qingzhou, was assassinated in broad daylight. Do you know?"
"I know a little about this, but this matter has nothing to do with me..."
Official Zhao sneered and said: "The information is indeed well-informed! Your Peng family is in the business of car, boat, shop, and teeth, and has dealings with both black and white people. How dare you say that everything is in order? But I think your Peng family has always been quite well-behaved, building bridges.
You mend roads, donate to schools and help the disabled, never fall behind others, restrain your subordinates and rarely cause trouble at home. Mr. Futai and Mr. Judge have taken care of you. I will take good care of you, and I will not hold you accountable for the occasional minor offense...
"
Peng Wanli hurriedly said: "Yes, the adults care about the Peng family, and the whole Peng family has always been deeply impressed by it."
Zhao Tuiguan's face sank and he shouted: "If you give me a foot, I will give you a foot. It is the right thing to reciprocate. Now that Young Master Yang has been assassinated, the Qingzhou gentry are in a fierce mood. They are all frightened. Do I still want to be polite to you?"
"
Peng Wanli called Qu Dao: "Sir, Mr. Yang's assassination, what does it have to do with my Peng family? This matter..."
"How come it has nothing to do with you!" Official Zhao roared louder than him: "Qingzhou's urban foxes, community rats, rogues, and you, the Peng family, are the only ones who follow your lead. Isn't this true? Car and boat shop, you Peng.
The family is all occupied. Among the heroes from the south and the north, can any of them escape the eyes of your Peng family? Even if Young Master Yang’s assassination was not caused by your Peng family, it must have been with your connivance and help. You
Not the mastermind, but also an accomplice!”
"Sir, there is no basis for catching cheaters and doubles, and thieves for dirty work..."
"What evidence do you want?" Officer Zhao said in a stern voice: "I am here to find evidence! I suspect that you are harboring a murderer and participating in the murder of the gentry in this city, and want to search your manor. Also, do you drive the car under the name of your Peng family?
, boat shops, mule and horse shops, inns, martial arts schools, a mixture of good and bad, good and bad, there are serious suspicions, all operations must be stopped from now on, I will investigate one by one until the murderer is found! "
The Peng family may have nothing to do with the assassination of Yang Wenxuan, but if the minions, guests, and friends of the Peng family are investigated one by one, there must be many people with criminal records among them, and those who are unclear or unclear, so Zhao Tuiguan
He is confident and not afraid of making things worse.
"What?" Peng Wanli's face turned gray when he heard this: "Sir, the name of Mr. Yang Xu has only been heard by ordinary people. Mr. Yang comes from a scholarly family, and my Peng family comes from a rough family.
We have nothing to do with each other at all. We have never had any contact with each other. When it comes to business, there is no conflict between our two families. Where is the grudge? Why is my Peng family suspected? This is not just a matter of sitting at home and disaster comes from the sky.
Come up!"
Official Zhao said aggressively: "Are you accusing me of abusing national laws and causing harm to innocent people?"
Peng Wanli swallowed his anger and said: "I don't dare, it's just..."
Inspector Feng chuckled and smoothed things over by saying, "Brother Peng, to tell you the truth, this case is really no small matter. Even the prefect, fellow magistrates, and the state judges are a little overwhelmed. The judge wants to
Several adults support the investigation of this case. In fact, the official does not suspect that your Peng family is an accomplice of the murderer, but your Peng family runs a variety of businesses, with three religions and nine streams coming and going. You can guarantee that there are no evildoers hiding among them.
?”
Peng Wanli said with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, this is a difficult task. My Peng family's business is very extensive. There are not thousands of guests, clerks and servants. How can I know everything..."
"That's it. I also understand that you, Mr. Peng, are well-connected and well-connected. Even if the murderer is really found in your Peng family's property, he may not be one of yours. Having said that, I don't want to be the one who suffers.
Chiyu, who will prove your innocence? Mr. Futai will arrest the murderer within a time limit. It is difficult to push the official. If you want the official to show his favor, you have to make it easy for the official to get through? "
Peng Wanli heard something in his words and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say. If the official has any instructions, the common people should do their best. But I don't know what the Peng family needs us to do?"
Officer Zhao didn't say anything, just snorted, sat back on the chair, crossed his legs, and drank tea slowly.
Feng Jianxiao smiled slightly, grabbed Peng Wanli's arm, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "That's number one, your Peng family runs a variety of businesses including car and boat shops, footwear, and teeth, and also controls the urban foxes and social rats in Qingzhou."
, the public of eyes and ears is unparalleled. If you want to clear up the suspicions, you should mobilize the power at your disposal and help the government to track down those who act suspiciously."
Peng Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "This is easy. I am willing to do my best for you."
Inspector Feng said: "Another thing is more important. It's not a big problem that the murderer can't be caught for a while. What's important is that Yang Xu can't be assassinated again. If he is still killed by an assassin after he reports to the police, how can you, my lords, tell you?
Hecheng elders explain? But Yang Xu can't hide at home all day. If he wants to go out, since ancient times, there is no reason for the government to send police officers to patrol and protect the people all day long, not to mention whether he has the qualifications.
This act alone will show the incompetence of the government."
Peng Wanli said: "This is easy. My Peng family owns a martial arts gym. Can't we just send some people over to protect him?"
Feng Jianxiao laughed and said: "Why don't Mr. Peng understand? Mr. Yang is not only a student of the government school, but also a local gentry. He has many friends, and there are inevitable banquets and banquets. If he is around
Wouldn't it make the city full of trouble if he was always followed by seven or eight men who were eyeing him with guns and sticks? Every time he appeared like this, it would be a big slap in the face of all the adults, and all the adults would be disgraced. Again.
When it comes to kung fu, your Peng family's Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword is not passed on to disciples with other surnames. Those disciples in the martial arts hall learn all kinds of fancy tricks and embroidered legs. They can hide it from ordinary people, but they can't hide it from me, Feng.
What did they do to help?"
Peng Wanli said in confusion: "Then..., what your lord means is..."
Feng Jianxiao said: "Your Peng family is able to control the black and white lines and make those city foxes and gangsters submissive. Although the Peng family is rich and powerful, it is also inseparable from your Peng family's overbearing five tigers."
Men Dao. As far as I know, the murderer is very talented in his art. Ordinary guards cannot guarantee Young Master Yang's safety. At the same time, in order to reduce the impact, the number of guards should not be too large. So... if you are the Peng family
I am willing to send a disciple who has inherited the secret knowledge to protect Yang Xu. I believe that the masters of the Futai, the judges, and the judges will respect your Peng family. Do you think anyone will make trouble for your Peng family?"
Peng Wanli said calmly: "Master Inspector is saying... that you want my Peng family... to send my nephew to be Yang Xu's follower to protect his safety? How... is this possible!"
"No?" Zhao Tuiguan paused his tea cup, stood up suddenly, raised his arms and shouted: "Come here, search my house, first the Peng family village, and then seal off all the Peng family's properties!"
Feng Jianxiao smiled and said: "Second Master Peng, this is to share the worries of the magistrate and the official. Can you think about it again?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"What? Do you want someone from my Peng family to protect that boy named Yang?"
After hearing his grandson's report, Peng Taigong asked in surprise. Peng Wanli said in a dumbfounded voice: "Yes, my grandson found it incredible after hearing this. It seems that Judge Zhao was really worried by the assassin, otherwise he would not have thought of such a thing."
This method, Grandpa, do you think we can agree to it?"
Peng Taigong's eyes were half open and half closed, and he turned a pair of iron gallbladders in his hands for a long time. He sighed and said: "That's it, then send some people."
