"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." The captain said politely, then pointed to the silk on the carriage and said, "Is this the goods that are going to be sent to Baocheng Company?"
"Exactly, I told you that it was going to be delivered to your house early in the morning, but I was delayed here for so long. I wonder if that gentleman will be angry?" Jin Yi was naturally referring to the person sent by Baocheng Company.
The captain glared at the soldiers on the side, and then said with a smile: "Now that the rebels are gathering outside the city, and there are spies lurking in the city, the city gate will inevitably need to be inspected more strictly. Please be considerate, brother."
Jin Yi said knowingly: "I understand, sir. Don't worry, sir. I will definitely explain it to you. I believe you won't misunderstand me."
His words made the captain secretly breath a sigh of relief. Although he looked very majestic in front of the group of soldiers, if he went to He Shen's side, he would be like an ant. The latter could move his little finger.
He was so twisted that he would never be able to turn over in his life.
After bowing to the captain, Jin Yi took everyone and the carriage away. Only when he was far away from the sight of the soldiers did Jin Yi let out a sigh of relief. He looked down and saw that his palms were full of cold sweat. Wang Fugui and others also
So, fortunately the commander showed up in time and heard the name of Baocheng Company, otherwise... their identities would have been exposed by now.
When Jin Yi and others secretly escorted Yong Cang and Zhang Guangcheng to the palace, Master Fang hurried into the study with a file and said, "My lord, something is not right!"
Zhu Ji was having fun with Xin Na's concubine. When Master Fang was so disturbed, his face suddenly turned down. The latter also realized that he had come at the wrong time, so he quickly lowered his head and stepped aside, not daring to speak.
The concubine glanced at Master Fang and said coquettishly: "Sir, when did this Governor's Mansion become Master Fang's land? You can enter wherever you want without even knocking on the door?"
Master Fang said with cold sweat on his head: "I know my sin due to my humble position. Please forgive me, my fourth aunt!"
Zhu Ji glanced at the file in Master Fang's hand, comforted his concubine and said: "Okay, Master Fang must have something important to do, so he forgot to knock on the door. You can go back first, I will go check it out in the evening."
you."
"Sir..." The concubine acted coquettishly and refused. Zhu Ji patted her hand and said, "Didn't you say you wanted a pearl necklace last time? I asked the housekeeper to accompany you to buy it."
Hearing this, the concubine left happily immediately. After he left, Zhu Ji brushed his robe and said coldly: "You'd better have a good explanation."
"Yes, yes." Master Fang responded in fear, and then said: "Sir, I overheard the soldiers who escaped yesterday guessing the identity of the twelfth elder brother who was escorted away by Zhang Guangcheng's soldiers. At that time
I had nothing to do, so I went over to chat with him for a few words." Before Zhu Ji could say anything, he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, sir, my humble position did not reveal the identity of the twelfth elder brother."
Zhu Ji snorted lightly and said, "What next?"
Master Fang hurriedly said: "Then let me overhear the name of one of the soldiers. His name is Wang Fugui."
"So what?" Faced with Zhu Ji's doubts, Master Fang handed over the file in his hand, "Sir, please take a look!"
After reading the contents of the file clearly, Zhu Ji stood up suddenly and said with an ugly face: "Wang Jincai's missing son is also called Wang Fugui?"
"Yes, when I heard this name, I felt that it was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while. It wasn't until this morning that I remembered that this name was exactly the same as the name of Wang Jincai's missing son.
; In addition, one of the captains who brought the twelfth prince to our place was also named Wang."
Zhu Ji looked ugly and said: "In other words... they are basically the same person?"
Master Fang did not answer directly, but said: "The matter is of great importance, and I dare not draw conclusions casually because of my humble position, so I went to the warehouse early in the morning to find the file where Wang Jincai came to report the case. It clearly recorded that Wang Jincai's son was indeed called
Wang Fugui; In addition, I also found out something
, just..." He lowered his voice and said: "Before something happened to Zhao Fu, many people from Wang Jincai's house suddenly left the city, and they took the road guide that Wang Jincai had used from us. The strangest thing is that these people left the city.
After that, I never came back, so I was wondering if..."
"The people who pretended to be imperial troops and used explosives to pretend to be artillery were the ones sent out by the palace, right?"
Master Fang nodded and said: "Exactly, with Wang Jincai's ability, it is not difficult to get those explosives; also, when we went to the palace to search, only Zhou's room was not searched because she happened to be taking a bath.
, Now that I think about it, maybe this 'just coincidence' was something they had planned in advance to protect the Twelveth Brother and others who were hiding in Zhou's room!"
Zhu Ji clenched the file in his hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "What a Wang Jincai, he actually made me fool around!"
"Sir, now..." Before Master Fang could continue, Zhu Ji said: "I have given you an order. Anyone who finds anyone from the Wang family entering or exiting the city gate will be detained by me immediately, and no one will be allowed to go. In addition, if you bring someone with you,
Everyone, I want to go to the Wang family again!"
Once Zhang Guangcheng is allowed to enter the city, with his prestige, not only the thousands of soldiers in the city will immediately join him, but also his aid to the rebels will be known to everyone. By that time, not only this governor will be in trouble, but I'm afraid
Even life can't be saved.
"Yes!" Master Fang hurried down to make arrangements. He did things quickly and quickly completed the things Zhu Ji told him. When they were about to set off, a captain walked over quickly. It was the same person who had let Yong go before.
The one who greeted them bowed to Zhu Ji and said doubtfully: "Sir, why do you want to arrest the people of the Wang family who go in and out of the city?"
On his way back home, he heard the order passed down by Master Fang and felt a little strange, so he came here to ask.
Zhu Ji would not tell the truth to him. He only said: "I received a secret report that someone discovered that the Wang family was colluding with the gangsters. The gangsters who had sneaked into the city before were probably hiding in the Wang family!"
The captain said in shock: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, you should rush to the city gate to inspect the city. Don't let anyone from the Wang family go. I will lead people to search the Wang family now."
The captain's face turned pale, not because of Zhu Ji's words, but because he remembered something, "Master Qi, not long ago... someone from the Wang family entered the city!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Ji immediately stopped and tried his best to keep his face calm, "Who is there?"
"It's the servants of the Wang family and two weavers who are responsible for delivering a cart of silk and satin to the Baocheng Company for selection." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ji asked anxiously: "Have you checked that cart?"
