Hou Shou was one of the lucky ones. Unexpectedly, because of a disaster at home, he was tricked into being sold into slavery by a local unscrupulous official. Fortunately, when the official was being transferred, he was robbed by the boss on the road. He stole his money and killed the dog official.
, and also released the few wives of the dog official, allowing them to elope with their sweethearts.
Later, he asked Chu Ji to use extraordinary means to make public the evidence he had collected about the dog officer's crime. As a result, no one investigated the dog officer's robbery. Instead, the dog officer's son was arrested and interrogated.
Hou Shou stayed with Chu Ji out of gratitude.
Chu Ji was grateful to Shen Mingzhu, so he gave the clever man to Shen Mingzhu and asked him to follow him to the capital.
Hou Shou is a smart and thoughtful person, good at seizing opportunities. After coming to the capital, he always handled the matters assigned by Shen Mingzhu properly without any mistakes.
So Shen Mingzhu trusted him, Zhang Huai became the general nursing home, he was the general manager of the shop in the outer courtyard, and Fei Yunhai was the general shopkeeper. These people are now indispensable to Shen Mingzhu.
So whenever Shen Mingzhu said that both were indispensable, Hou Shou felt extremely proud.
"Miss, those refugees have indeed been bribed. Our brothers sneaked in to investigate, and they said that someone gave them money and they just went to harass and cause trouble. There will be no problem in keeping them."
Hou Shou acted quickly, and the thirty or so spies under his command were also extremely powerful. They were able to find out everything clearly overnight.
"That child was the one they captured. The child is in the hands of the leader. He said that he had to pay one thousand taels of silver to redeem it, otherwise the child would be extinguished."
Shen Mingzhu sneered.
Hou Shou said: "Miss, they are simply lawless. They were just refugees before, but now they are simply robbers. We need to show them some color."
In his heart, the eldest lady was in the government first.
Moreover, some of the girls around the eldest lady had their family members harassed. They had already reported it to the authorities, but because it was no big deal, no one took care of it.
Now that the child has been lost, the government doesn't seem to care about it.
This matter is in the charge of Jing Zhaoyin, Hou Shou has already found out, and the Yamen has no intention of taking care of it at all, feeling that it is not necessary.
Later, he tried to find a way to get the news out, saying that the younger brother of the girl from the Hou Mansion had been kidnapped.
If it were normal times, Guan'er would naturally become nervous immediately.
After all, this is the prime minister's house, and the eldest lady has an unusual relationship with King Yan, and is valued by His Majesty, so it is natural that the matter should be investigated immediately.
But Zheng Haichao didn't make any movement at all, as if he was letting the child fend for himself.
Hou Shou was angry, so he didn't have any good impression of Zheng Haichao, and even said a few words of disgust.
Xiao Xian's face turned as dark as water when he heard this, but Shen Mingzhu still looked as usual.
"Have you asked Mr. Mo? What did he say?"
Mo Ruhui didn't always live in the Prime Minister's Mansion on weekdays. Most of the time he stayed with Hou Shou and Fei Yunhai.
Hou Shou said: "Mr. Mo's idea is that we pay a thousand taels to get the children back first, and then go and take them home."
Shen Mingzhu sneered and said, "That's Mr. Mo's kindness. We are not doing good deeds. Let's go tonight, take away their nest, and snatch the children back."
When Hou Shou heard this, he immediately geared up.
