"Master! Something bad has happened! Mr. Cheng... Mr. Cheng..."
Xiao Wen rushed in from outside the mansion in a panic. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the mansion, he shouted to Xu Jing who didn't know where he was:
"Master Cheng is coming to search!"
Xu Jing, who was lying in the pile of money, suddenly woke up and knocked over the silver tower next to him. The silver fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but this also highlighted how panicked Xu Jing was at this time.
.
Xu Jing hurriedly put on a single piece of clothing and rushed out of his bedroom. When he saw Xiao Wen in the courtyard, he quickly asked:
"what happened?
Lord Cheng?
Cheng Ji?"
"It's Cheng Ji, it's Cheng Ji. I heard that he was ordered to handle a case and came to investigate our house thoroughly. Please go and hide!"
"That's not right. I heard that Liu Zhang and Cheng Ji have not been in the city these days. Why are you suspicious of me?
Xiao Wen, could it be that you had hidden clues that exposed your whereabouts?"
"No, sir, I will make sure to do things neatly and neatly. We don't know what's going on..."
"Hurry up and hide..."
Xiao Wen was so panicked that he stamped his feet anxiously.
But Xu Jing had calmed down and slapped Xiao Wen on the face. Xiao Wen grinned in pain, covered his face and looked at Xu Jing with great grievance:
"Master, what are you doing?"
"How is it appropriate to be in a panic?
Now that you are ready, just stay behind me and say nothing. Aren't you just Cheng Ji?
I’ll go meet him!”
Xu Jing fluttered his sleeves and robe, which looked very chic.
Xiao Wen hurriedly followed behind, looking furtively and looking cowardly.
Sure enough, before Xu Jing came to the door, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the house, and Cheng Ji's shouts from far away:
"Master Xu, are you at home?
I, Cheng Ji, have been ordered by Zhou Mu to thoroughly investigate your relationship with a certain case from a year ago, and please cooperate with the investigation!"
Cheng Ji's words were so powerful that the pedestrians on the street were frightened by the battle.
Rumors about Xu Jing spread quickly, but what about Xu Jing?
Xu Jing's demeanor remained unchanged. He swept away the feeling of weakness he had felt half a month ago, quickly opened the door for everyone, and slowly walked to Cheng Ji's horse under everyone's gaze. He cupped his hands and said:
"Where did Mr. Cheng start talking about this?
Xu lived an upright life, and no matter how miserable he was, he would not harm the lives of others. If you slander Xu without any evidence, I will choose a day to go to the state pastor and give you a copy!"
Good guy, many people only know Xu Jing as a businessman. After all, here in Chengdu, Liu Zhang will always be the boss. To put it bluntly, he, the Chengdu prefect, is just a nominal prefect. Not many people have seen him truly display his authority.
But Xu Jinglai's candid speech today really made many people look at him with admiration.
Cheng Ji did not accept this trick. As Liu Zhang's right-hand man, no matter how tough Xu Jing was, Liu Zhang himself personally pointed out that he wanted to investigate him thoroughly, so Cheng Ji had no worries.
"Stop talking nonsense, I came here to conduct a thorough investigation on the orders of Mr. Zhou Mu. It doesn't matter where you go. Please get out of the way. Otherwise, I will just think that you are stalling for time and destroying evidence!"
"Haha, Xu doesn't bother to do the dirty things you mentioned. If you want to conduct a search, please dismount first!"
Cheng Ji glared at Xu Jing, immediately dismounted and led a large number of soldiers and horses directly into the Xu Mansion.
Xu Jing stood at the door and watched them quietly. He also cupped his fists and raised his hands to the people watching on the street:
"Fellow fellow villagers, Mr. Xu is an outsider. Now that he has reached the position of prefect, he is worthy of his hard work over the years. I also ask you to testify for Mr. Xu. Today, Mr. Xu has no disrespect for Mr. Cheng.
, lest Mr. Cheng threaten you with this when he is in court one day."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we are all watching!"
"Sir Xu, we believe you!"
"Believe it or not... sell low-quality perfume and still have the nerve to say that you are frank, bah..."
"Hey, how can you talk like this! Stop here, kid!"
Of course, I don’t know who saw Xu Jing acting like this and muttered some dirty information about him - the thing is this. While Xu Jing is getting bigger and bigger in the perfume industry, he does have a lot of earliest experiences.
People who went to another perfume store suddenly realized that Xu Jing's products were incomparable with those of its rivals. It was only through low prices that it gained such a large audience. In fact, it was just some tricks.
Therefore, many people in the city always disliked Xu Jing, and spent all day hanging out next to Xu Jing's shop to hack him.
I bumped into Xu Jing today. Someone boldly said it to his face. Xu Jing was so angry that his mouth twisted. He pointed at that person and wanted to make him pay the price, but the other person ran very fast and blinked.
No shadow.
This suddenly frustrated the good momentum Xu Jing had built for himself.
Xu Jingyuan, who was speechless, had no choice but to return to his home in despair.
——
It was a different situation in the mansion. Xiao Wen had obviously never seen such a big momentum. He had said he was not afraid before, but now he was trembling like a little mouse surrounded by a bunch of soldiers.
Cheng Ji stood in the middle of the field and looked around, instructing his soldiers to rummage around, rummaging through the muddy ground on the left and under the tree on the right. In just a moment, Xu Jing's mansion was turned into a mess.
a mess.
Although Xu Jing was angry when he saw this scene, he didn't say much. He called Xiao Wen to come behind him, and he himself walked up to Cheng Ji and said to Cheng Ji in a frivolous tone:
"What about Master Cheng? Did you find nothing?"
"Oh, such a large battle must be under a death order, right?
Tell me, tell me, how will our beloved Mr. Cheng interact with you later?"
"Hmph! Xu Jing, don't be too happy. The main attacker has discovered your problem. Now we only need a little evidence to convict you. You must not show any flaws."
"Then we'll see!"
Xu Jing said fiercely, but his heart suddenly felt a little panicked...
Sure enough, just as he thought, Liu Zhang did not find something, but figured something out... Now that Liu Zhang is not in the city, it is naturally impossible to find the evidence that he sent Xiao Wen to hide. But Liu Zhang can
The guy's intelligence, what made him doubt himself? This was somewhat sudden...
But in the end, it was his home after all, and Xu Jing had destroyed all possible evidence early on, so Cheng Ji couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after searching for a long time without finding anything.
Seeing this, Xu Jing was relieved that the matter was not out of control. After checking his home, the other party would definitely check his previous shops. As long as some traces of the earliest conspiracy could be traced back, they would
You will find that the person related to the murder is not you, but Pang Xi.
Regarding Pang Xi, Xu Jing was very confident that he could surpass him in Liu Zhang's heart.
