Mr. Funiu looked at Lin Yutong but smiled and said nothing.
Lin Yutong put down the tea cup in his hand: "Old sir, you have hatred and evil in your heart, and you are trying to use your hatred and evil to arouse my greed and desire. Don't work in vain, go back and rest. You can pick up one
Just live your life well." After saying that, he smiled again: "I heard that the great road is righteous, and Mu Youlan is humble and pure in heart. If sir, you have the great road, Wu... you are always welcome, sir."
Mr. Funiu chuckled: "What your Highness is doing now is also the right way?"
"Good is opposite to evil." Lin Yutong was particularly calm. "He is evil, and I am right. It's just that the methods are different."
Mr. Funiu gave a strange smile, then stood up slowly and saluted Lin Yutong, "I would like to...be taught!"
After the people left, the smile on Lin Yutong's face disappeared. She called Tianfu, "Send someone to keep him under guard. This man cannot be let go. Then he will be brought back to the capital intact."
Tianfu said yes, but hesitated to speak.
Lin Yutong looked at him: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You are not an outsider. There is no need to be cautious."
"It's not that I dare not speak out." Tianfu frowned, "I'm not sure...it would be great if the chief manager was here."
This general manager is Lin Houzhi.
Too!
Since Mr. Funiu has met Emperor Xuanping, he must have also met the prince. So it is not surprising that the old servants who serve around him have met this man.
She asked: "If you know anything, just tell me. If you are unsure, just ask after you return to the capital."
Tian Fu brought a bowl of white fungus soup to Lin Yutong, and before Lin Yutong was about to speak, he quickly said: "It has been sent to Mr. Yin and others in the side hall."
Lin Yutong then picked it up and ate it with small mouthfuls. Tianfu was sitting on the spoon and talked about some past events that he didn't remember much, "At that time, I was still young... I took the princess to play... At that time, the princess
Naughty, running around in the palace. I remember that it was the lunar month, and the osmanthus flowers in the garden were blooming. His Royal Highness, the Prince, and the young masters of the Yin family were under the osmanthus tree without knowing what to say, and the Princess quietly said,
Asking the slaves to follow her, she was going to run over and scare His Highness the Crown Prince on purpose. We were all hiding in the rockery cave and were trying to persuade the princess not to make trouble. The princess was very agile and ran out in the blink of an eye, but as soon as she walked out, she immediately started crying.
, it turned out that with a flash of God, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Yin were nowhere to be seen. The princess was crying and refused to give up. The slave told Her Highness to wait, and went to look for her. As a result, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Yin going there from a distance.
We walked in the direction of the lake pavilion in the imperial garden. Just as I was about to go over and ask His Highness the Prince to go back and coax the princess, I saw His Majesty leading two people walking past from the other end of the garden. I was just thinking about which way to avoid it, but suddenly...
When I turned around, I saw His Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Yin who were still in the pavilion just now. Do you know, His Highness Hu Xinting? There is only one trestle to pass through, and you didn't see it coming out, so why are they missing? They must have been hidden. But this
Why are you hiding? Even His Highness the Crown Prince is hiding, so how can I dare to run around? I immediately hid in the flowers. I remember that the two people brought by the Holy One were Taishi Yin and the other was the same age as Taishi Yin.
Similar. Although not as good as Taishi Yin, who looked like an immortal descending to earth, he was still handsome and handsome. Taishi Yin was dressed in white clothes, and the master's green shirt and long robe was also like a green bamboo pole. At that time, I couldn't help feeling a little bit.
Admiration. At that time, I heard the Holy Master call that gentleman 'yunzhi'. Later, Master Yin seemed to have a quarrel with this gentleman. He called him by his first name and seemed to call him Ran Geng. The slave guessed that 'yunzhi' should be '
Yun Zhi'..." He stretched out his hand and wrote the word 'Yun' on the table.
Lin Yutong nodded, such a guess makes sense. The ancients were particular about choosing names. For example, Yan Hui, whose courtesy name is Ziyuan. According to the explanation of the text, Yuan means back water. Hui means Yuanshui. This
The name and the character have the same meaning. Another example is Duanmu Ci, whose character is Zigong. Ci is above versus below, and Gong is below versus above. This is the opposite meaning of the name and character. By analogy, this inference will be reversed for Mr. Funiu. If the name is
"Geng", the word for "cultivating", then it makes sense. Now if we go back and think about "Funiu" which looks like a "number", it also makes sense. These words all have the meaning of farming.
Righteousness is within.
Such associations and explanations are well-founded.
She nodded in agreement, "What was Taishi Yin arguing with this Ran Geng at that time? Did you hear it?"
Tianfu shook his head: "I couldn't hear clearly... Lord Yin was very angry at that time, and his voice was a little louder. I heard a few words... What I can remember all these years is because Lord Yin said it when he scolded that adult.
With the sentence 'How dare you say... 10 million taels of silver... the national treasury can't even take out so much...', Taishi Yin... a figure who is like an immortal, cursed his mother angrily, and also
It's 'ten million taels of silver' and 'empty the national treasury'. Where have slaves heard of these things? The slaves of one thousand taels of silver didn't even dare to think about it. It turned out that what they said was ten million taels of silver... and the slaves were also the first.
I knew for the first time that there was not even ten million taels of silver in the treasury... so I remember this incident very well... and after the two quarreled, the Holy One walked away first... But the strange thing is that the Holy One left
Now, the two of them stopped arguing... The two of them seemed to be standing extremely close together... They were far away and I couldn't see their expressions clearly. But at that time Taishi Yin patted Mr. Ran's face.
The shoulder seemed to be comforting. I thought at that time that these two adults were probably not willing to spend money. This must be a show in front of the saint. I also wondered whether the two adults had paid the 10 million taels in advance.
It was agreed upon and said out just to dispel some of the saint's thoughts... The slave also knew for the first time that it was not necessary to be blindly sincere in front of the master..."
At this point, Tian Fu paused, "You deserve to die!"
Lin Yutong waved his hand and couldn't help but smile: "No problem! Just keep talking."
Tianfu was a little embarrassed, "...Then the two adults returned the same way. I hid and didn't dare to look at the two adults in front of me for fear of being discovered. I only dared to look up after they walked past."
I remember clearly that Mr. Ran had a horse-tethering post behind his ear. I have never seen anyone with a horse-tethering post behind his ear, so I remember it very clearly."
Lin Yutong understood what he was talking about.
The secondary ear is also called an extra ear, commonly known as a hitching post. This kind of thing usually grows in front of the ear, above and below the ear. It is really rare to have this kind of thing behind the ear.
She asked: "You mean, you also saw the hitching post behind Mr. Funiu's ear."
Tian Fu sighed: "I saw the horse-tethering post... However, judging from the appearance, I really can't find the shadow of Master Ran back then... Therefore, I am not sure whether this person is the same person back then. But...
...Even Master Yin has changed a lot. The Master Yin back then is what Mr. Yin looks like now...it has only been a few years...Master Yin's hair and beard are all white..."
Lin Yutong felt a little sad, "I understand... You ask Dr. Tong to go and take a look at this old gentleman... Take more care of him on weekdays, and don't let others neglect him."
Tian Fu said, "Your Highness is kind."
Lin Yutong picked up the cold lotus seed soup and said, "If there is still more, give him a bowl too."
Tian Fu responded with a smile. When he turned to leave, Lin Yutong suddenly asked: "Then where were my father and Mr. Yin... where were they hiding? Did you see them?"
"I didn't see it." Tian Fu shook his head, "I left quickly before His Highness the Crown Prince showed up... But then the Crown Prince fell ill again and said he caught a cold. So... So I guess... I should be hiding.
Gone into the water..."
"Oh!" Lin Yutong's eyes flashed with confusion, and then he waved to Tianfu, "Go and do your work."
Now that he was free, Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master: "Have you ever heard of Ran Geng?"
The fourth master was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "...I have seen a painting signed 'Ugly Prison', hanging in the secret room of the study..."
That's it!
The cow is "Chou", also known as "Dalao" and "Niu Lao". This ugly prison must be Ran Geng.
Lin Yutong was still thinking about whether it was time to talk to Ran Geng again, when one after another, people from various teams came back with their 'prey'.
And Lin Yutong left all the guard camps in the East Palace to Lin Yuwu: "...I will keep them in prison first, and when the money comes, I will serve them with delicious food and drink. If the money doesn't come, I will only have a bowl of cold water and a vegetable steamed bun a day, and I will be hungry."
This is more uncomfortable than severe punishment.
Lin Yuwu nodded: "How many people don't even have vegetable steamed buns a day. Don't worry, those who cooperate will still have vegetable steamed buns to eat, and those who don't cooperate will get a bowl of rice soup a day... As long as they don't starve to death..."
How can these people handle this?
They are all masters who give up their wealth rather than their lives.
Lin Yutong called Qi Huan and Jiang Li and told them that nothing else mattered, but the absolute safety of everyone must be guaranteed.
Before Qi thought that Lin Yutong would keep him, he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, I'd better follow Your Highness..."
Lin Yutong did not avoid Gracilaria, and said bluntly to Qi: "You have to pass this money from your hands. After you pass it, it will not be kept here forever. The amount is almost there. Someone will transport it, you and the ship
Escort it and hand it over directly to Princess Changning's Mansion in Liangzhou."
Qi was even startled: "Your Highness..."
Lin Yutong raised his hand to stop him from talking, "Don't be afraid! I will set aside some money to transport back to the capital... It is not appropriate for other money to go to the capital now, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Qi also wiped the sweat from his head, "I will definitely transport the silver back, don't worry. This silver is in Liangzhou, I dare to use my head to guarantee that it will not be lost..."
"You don't have to be nervous." Lin Yutong lowered his voice and turned to tell Jiang Li: "I will take the third prince with me, and the only people left behind will be my own people. To ensure safety, the place where the money is kept must be separated from other people.
Come on. Someone will come forward with my seal when the time comes. Don’t ask any more questions now. The only ones on guard are the Imperial Guards. Of these Imperial Guards who have brought people back, one will return and you will leave one behind.
.Use them to gradually replace the guards of the East Palace to guard the money, do you understand?"
Jiang Li solemnly responded: "Your Highness... I wonder how much money you have?"
Lin Yutong shook his head: "I can't say right now. The estimate is just an estimate..."
The Governor-General's Palace of Liangjiang was established in Jinling. Therefore, Lin Yutong's destination this time was Jinling.
We boarded an inconspicuous small passenger ship, accompanied by the fourth master and Chen Yunhe. Of course, there was also the third prince.
However, Lin Pingkang belongs to the obedient type. He thought he was really poisoned and was very anxious. He always put on a cooperative attitude.
Where he was going, what he was doing, and what his purpose was, he didn't ask any questions.
When Lin Yutong asked people to discuss things, he never came forward. He stayed bored in the cabin along the way. However, Lin Yutong was not that excessive after all. He would usually invite him to join him when he ate and enjoyed the scenery.
After all, he was from the royal family. He was so angry that he wished he could eat Lin Yutong alive, but on his face, he acted as if nothing had happened. He ate, drank, and joked with each other. A quick look revealed that the uncle and nephew were doing quite well.
There was no rush along the way, and it felt like a leisurely stroll.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is almost no chance to be alone with the fourth master. Chen Yunhe follows too closely, not because he doesn't look at him, but mainly because he is afraid. As soon as he arrives at the dock, he restrains his entourage and does not call him an entourage.
He disembarked casually and refused to come into contact with anyone. This was because he was afraid that if the news was leaked, he would become suspicious of him.
She wasn't in a hurry, but the journey to Jiangnan was completely chaotic.
In Tang County, Quanzhou, northern Jiangsu Province, this day was no different from usual.
In summer in Jiangnan, that is, when the sky is dark, there is a bit of coolness.
Qian Tong got up early today and couldn't sleep because he had something on his mind. He got up early and asked his old servant at home to drive the bullock cart and take him to the city gate. Then he got down from the car and sent the old servant back.
The old servant handed over the bag from the car: "Sir, lunch is here."
Qian Tong took it, waved his hand, and sent the old servant away. Holding the small bag, he sat on the stone pier at the city gate, waiting for the city gate to open. There were already many people waiting nearby, some of whom might have gone to the city to work.
, some were carrying fruits and vegetables, fearing that they would go to the city to sell their things.
He encounters this situation every morning.
It was almost time to open the city gate, and so many people were crowded together, pushing and shoving. At this time, his sense of superiority could not help but rise. Although he was not doing well in the county government, outside,
There are still some privileges. Once the waistband is hung on the waist, no one will fight with him. In addition, when entering the county seat, he does not have to pay the cost of entering the city.
This county government has been like this for many years, with one gate for entering the city and another gate for leaving the city.
Anyone who enters the city must pay two cents for each entry.
This surprised Zhao Shaowu, who had been serving in the Imperial Guard. He pointed at the frail old man in front of him and said, "Why doesn't he pay?"
The city gate officer immediately said: "If you don't come in, get out! Damn it! That's the money master of our county government. Where did you come from? Either get out, or pay me obediently."
Hei Niu grabbed Zhao Shaowu, nodded and bowed to the city gate official, and then stuffed more than a dozen words in his hand, "Master Jun, Master Jun, this brother of mine has never seen the world, so don't be surprised."
A total of three people entered and handed over fifteen or six coins. The city gate official looked better and said, "Go in. Don't cause trouble."
The thin third son who followed at the end nodded repeatedly: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
The two of them pulled Zhao Shaowu into the city gate, and Hei Niu immediately said: "My Zhao... brother! This is not the capital city. We don't do the things in the capital city. When you get to this place, you have to follow the rules of this place.
"
Qian Tong was dusting off the dirt on his trouser legs when he heard this sentence.
Are you from Beijing?
He turned around and looked over. The black-faced guy looked so stubborn that he didn't look like he was born with mud legs. Although his clothes were not eye-catching, they were made of fine cotton. He stood tall and straight in the crowd. Compared with the people around him, he stood out a bit.
The two people next to him don’t know their identities or their relationship to him. One is as strong as an ox, and the other is as thin as a monkey. The three of them stand together. They don’t look like masters and servants, and they don’t look like friends.
Friends, as for relatives, that's even less the case.
Such a combination looks very strange when standing together.
He took the initiative to chat: "Are you from the capital?"
Hei Niu nodded: "A distant friend came to our place for the first time. I'm not used to it... I'm not used to it..."
After saying this, he took the other two people and left. Looking in that direction, it should be the mule market.
He didn't take it too seriously when they met by chance. The yamen was still busy, so he had to hurry up.
I have been working as a criminal master in the county for 20 years. It is sad to say that I can't even afford a small yard in the inner city of the county. My home is outside the city, and it is very inconvenient to get in and out.
He is the first of his kind in the county.
My wife also scolded him at home, scolding him for being worthless. How could he be so poor when everyone else was rich? When the time came for his son to marry his daughter-in-law, the family could not even afford a decent betrothal gift and dowry.
But what to do?
It's easy to make money, but can you get the money?
The king's brother-in-law, who loved his concubine, wanted to take advantage of the widow and killed her, leaving an orphan who was helpless. As a result, after the brother-in-law was taken away, his parents took 500 taels of silver and pretended to give him 40 canes.
. He, the master of punishment, was given five taels of silver by the county magistrate to seal the seal, but he held the silver in his hands and quietly gave it to the child. He saved money and could survive until he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he could finally be self-reliant.
, right? I don’t dare to let the mother-in-law know about this. I don’t know how much this kind of thing costs every year. Just the money that the county magistrate distributes, to be honest, after twenty years of saving, it is enough to buy a house and land.
But what can I do if I can’t do these things?
I arrived at the county government office early and, together with the handymen, cleaned up the county government office.
If I hadn't always been so humble, I might have lost my job.
It wasn't until almost noon that the county government office became lively. The chief arrest officer was dispatched, and the county prime minister also arrived. The officials from various ministries also arrived.
This one talks about how soft the waist of the pretty girl from Chunfeng Tower is, and the other talks about how small the jade feet of the green jade girl from Yicui Tower are.
The good tea is brewed, and this is the beginning of the county office's day.
After the two cups of tea were finished, they dispersed again. They accompanied each other and went to a restaurant for dinner. They were never short of a meal. If there was no meal, they would save one for each other.
Normally Qian Tong doesn't go, and no one invites him. Today, County Magistrate Wang invited him, "Let's go... Master Qian, you don't want to give up any face?"
Don't dare!
The county magistrate is also your superior, how dare you offend him so easily.
Wang Xian Cheng was a good person, and he was not the only one to be invited. Several masters and clerks were also invited. They were so round that they could sit at two tables. As soon as they arrived at the table, Wang Xian Cheng ordered the restaurant to be opened to the yamen's arresters.
If the leaders bring food and wine, no one will be offended.
Qian Tong knew why he was invited this time. It was simply that the Cheng family of Wang County wanted to buy the paddy fields in the east of the city. However, these paddy fields originally had owners. A total of twenty-seven families were involved. They were buying and selling by force, causing trouble.
There were two life lawsuits.
As soon as we sat down at the wine table today, everyone had a tacit understanding.
Wang Xiancheng personally put the wine in front of him, and he drank the glass of wine, which was his response.
But if you don’t respond, what can you do?
Pretending to be confused, he drank the wine and said, "I am still preparing to ask Mr. Wang for leave. The student's mother-in-law is old, I'm afraid... the student is going to take Zhuo Jing back to his hometown to visit... I wonder if I can take ten months' leave?"
Don't get involved, don't cause trouble. Just hide!
Wang Xian Cheng burst out laughing: "That's right, that's right!"
After getting off the wine table, he went back to the county office and packed his things. He planned to delay it for a while.
Who would have thought that before things were packed and clear, someone hurried in from outside, looking for Mr. Liu, "...Quick...Quick...Master Wang...Master Wang...Master Wang is missing..."
Missing?
How could such a good person disappear?
The county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, then went to the Yamen and called Wang Xian Cheng's entourage to question him carefully.
It turned out that the luncheon was over, and Wang Xiancheng was invited by Qi Sangui and Qi Yuanwai. The two were going to Mingyue Villa outside the city. They rode in two carriages, with Wang Xiancheng's carriage in front and Qi Yuanwai's carriage behind.
, the Qi family's groom followed the carriage in front, but ended up going the wrong way. He felt something was wrong, so he hurried forward anxiously, and saw that the groom was missing from the carriage. He was startled and told Qi Yuanwai, "Stop."
He got off the carriage and stopped King County Magistrate's carriage, but as a result, the groom and his entourage were knocked unconscious and stuffed into the carriage, and Mr. Wang disappeared without a trace.
Such a big living person disappeared on the official road, under the eyes of Qi Yuanwai.
Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate, was all numb, so he called for County Lieutenant Li, the arrester and the magistrate, Master Xing, to discuss how to solve this case.
Sun Dianli is old and doesn't come to the Yamen very often. He doesn't care about those messy things. But he came this time and sat at the top of Qian Tong. What did he say? The first thing that people think of is
Those farmers who were forced to sell their fields. But can they say this?
He was talking about this and that. Capt. Liu was already shouting to arrest people, but the handyman who went to invite County Lieutenant Li came back, "...I couldn't find Lieutenant Li..."
How do you say this?
The handyman said: "... Lieutenant Li was at Yicui Building last night... He also came out of Yicui Building this morning... But he didn't know where he went after leaving Yicui Building... Mrs. Li was anxious.
, people are searching all over the city..."
But most of the day passed and no one was found.
Those sitting in the hall had a bad premonition, right? Wang Xian Cheng was kidnapped. Could it be that something happened to Li Xian Lieutenant as well?
Before we could figure out a clue, Cao Jiaoyu's son came and reported him missing, "...my father went to the south of the city to eat Yunjia soup dumplings in the morning...he hasn't come back yet...he brought two servants with him."
Went... the servant just came back and said he was knocked unconscious... When he woke up, it was just the two of them... but my father was nowhere to be seen..."
The sweat on Qian Tong's head started to drop. This was definitely not an ordinary kidnapping case seeking revenge. Something big was going to happen.
Magistrate Zhang didn't have the time to investigate this matter, so he only told Mr. Liu, and then asked Sun Dianli and Master Qian to "write... report..."
He quickly returned to the back office and refused to go out these days. Something seemed wrong.
Qian Tong went out and bought two sesame seed cakes and a bowl of soup, and ordered some on the street opposite the Yamen. He couldn't go back tonight. When he returned to the county Yamen, he saw the three people he met at the city gate this morning.
He was a man. He was not in the mood to pay attention. He took a quick look and quickly returned to the class room. He didn't know how to write this report.
The three people outside are not Zhao Shaowu, Hei Niu and Sanzi.
Zhao Shaowu was so angry that there were only two people on their task list, the magistrates of the two counties. But Heiniu and Sanzi were good. After drinking a bowl of tea in the teahouse, they wanted to kill all the officials in Tang County.
.
The three people who agreed split up to inquire about the news, and ended up tying up three of them. They were fed the sweat medicine, packed in a sack, carried it out and threw it into a dry well in a dilapidated temple outside the city, and then came back.
"How can we bring so many people with us?" Zhao Shaowu said angrily, "When I go back, I have to go to Binxian County."
Hei Niu said very easily, "Leave one person to watch, and two people to kidnap the person is enough."
Damn it!
This time we can't even fit it on the boat.
"What about?" Sanzi spread his hands, "Can I put him back after being tied up? Brother Zhao, don't look at these petty officials, they are all extremely rich..."
But if the big greed your Highness wants is replaced by a big one, there will be new people coming to take charge of these small officials below.
As it is now, no matter how big or small, you can shove it into your pocket without getting messy down there.
Hei Niu laughed sarcastically: "Brother, you are in the capital. You don't know the hardships down there. Don't think that without officials, we ordinary people can't live our lives. That's wrong, brother, without these things, our lives will be difficult."
You can live a better life. The threshold of the yamen is high. You have to pay 2 cents to enter the city gate. If you enter the county yamen, don't worry about anything. Just give the door 2 cents of silver first. How many of us are ordinary people?
Going to the Yamen..."
These words made Zhao Shaowu feel particularly uncomfortable.
I didn't understand Taisun's actions before, but now...really! I feel like these things should be cut into pieces.
At this moment, County Magistrate Zhang was hunkered down in the county office and unable to come out.
It's not easy to sneak in.
Sanzi scratched his head: "What can we do?"
Zhao Shaowu laughed: "You two brothers have already done three errands together, so leave this to me, brother."
Hei Niu's eyes lit up, "Is there any way?"
Zhao Shaowu laughed, turned around and went to the clothing store, changed into the clothes of a wealthy young man. Then he took out the greeting card in his arms, which was given by his uncle. This Master Zhang's brother-in-law is the same year as his uncle. Every year,
The adults in this picture often give gifts to the uncle's family. Of course, there is a big difference in official rank, and this one is the one who flatters the uncle.
He sent the third son to hire a carriage, taking only the black ox with him. The third son looked too wretched, and did not look like he came from a wealthy family. Instead, he was a black ox, very strong, and looked like a servant guarding the courtyard.
When I arrived at the county government office and handed over the greeting card, the disciples didn't dare to offend me just because of their demeanor and clothes. In addition, they were generous, and they only threw one or two over, and they quickly ran to the back office.
Zhang Baishou was talking to his wife: "You must not go out when you see the children at home." I don't know where the strong man came from. How will this matter end?
As a result, the post was sent in.
Zhang Baishou's first feeling was that it was bad. Could it be that a nobleman from the capital also encountered an accident? If so, he would really die.
He did not dare to go out, so he asked someone to invite Zhao Shaowu in.
Zhang Baishou expressed his apology: "...there has been some unrest in the county recently...nephew..."
"I know this." Zhao Shaowu whispered: "My uncle was ordered to come down to handle the case and invited several adults to come over... However, Mr. Zhang's friendship is different. My uncle asked me to come over and invite... He said he had something to discuss..."
The sweat on Zhang Baishou's head started to drop, "No wonder! No wonder!" He wiped the sweat, "Does my nephew know what case he wants to investigate..."
Zhao Shaowu laughed and said, "My uncle always praises you at home, and he asks the younger generation to come to the house like this. What do you have to worry about?"
yes!
It seems that the gift is not in vain. No matter what the investigation is, it would be best if you can pick it out yourself.
After saying that, he stood up, took out another box from the drawer and stuffed it into his arms. After thinking about it, he took out another purse and stuffed it into Zhao Shaowu, "Here, it's a greeting gift, otherwise it would be rude..."
…”
The purse was light and the stuff inside must be banknotes.
Zhao Shaowu thought to himself, "Take it. If you go back, your grandson will be rewarded twice as much. This is a good deal."
When Zhao Shaowu accepted the money with a calm expression, the man felt completely relieved.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, the magistrate only brought one attendant.
After leaving the door, the third son was waiting at the door with a carriage.
Qian Tong came out of the class room, holding the report in his hand, and chased him out. Seeing the three people he met twice in one day, he was stunned for a moment. He was secretly alert in his heart. These three people had all changed their outfits, so there must be something wrong.
wrong.
He handed the submission to County Magistrate Zhang, who was about to get on the carriage, and wanted to remind him. However, Magistrate Zhang tore up the submission and said, "Master Qian, you should go back early. Don't write this thing."
Why did you change your mind?
As soon as he flashed, Magistrate Zhang had already boarded the carriage. Just as he was about to give a warning, his arm was grabbed by the man dressed as a nobleman. When the man opened his palm, he saw a golden sign with the words
Two-word guard!
He took a breath, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and then shook his head, promising that he would never tell anyone about this.
Then he opened his eyes and watched the carriage go away.
Zhao Shaowu and Zhang Baishou were on the carriage, Sanzi and Hei Niu were sitting on the shaft, one on each side. The county magistrate's entourage could only run behind.
The carriage moved slowly in the city, but the entourage could still keep up. With him following, there was not even an interrogation when leaving the city. Zhao Shaowu kept telling Zhang Baishou about things in the capital. For example, he bragged about following General Meng to Beikang to meet his grandson.
.Nowadays, no official is not concerned about the affairs of the grandson. My future master. If you have a relationship with this master, then there is no need to worry about the future?
His attention was so distracted that by the time he noticed that the carriage was running and throwing his entourage far away, it was already too late.
His face turned pale: "You... you are not... you are the young master of the Zhao family..."
"I am!" Zhao Shaowu said softly: "I was also ordered to invite people..."
"By...by...by orders?" Zhang Baishou's hair stood on end, "Whose orders were you given?"
Zhao Shaowu went over with a knife in his hand and said, "You will know when we get there."
Qian Tong was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. When he returned to the class room, he was covered in sweat.
Sun Dianli asked: "What? I can't submit the document?"
Qian Tong shook his head: "Your Excellency has gone out... He said... there is no need to write a submission..."
Sun Dianli's expression changed: "How many people did you bring?"
Qian Tong raised a finger and said, "One."
"It's broken!" Sun Dianli stood up, "No, we have to..."
Qian Tong quickly stopped him and said, "There is no one left to report." There is no one who can take charge.
But if the chief officer is lost, the people below them will also have to work hard. Sun Dianli sat down and said: "Wait...wait for the news..."
As a result, the follower came back alone, and the magistrate lost track of him.
It’s over! It’s really over this time.
Sun Dianli called Liu Captou, "Let's go! Let's go to Fucheng. It's no longer enough to just file a report on this matter."
The two arrived at Fucheng overnight, but Quanzhou was also in chaos.
From the magistrate, to the state, to the magistrate, to the magistrate, everything was gone overnight.
I only know that a few adults went to the banquet. It was said that a big shot came from Beijing. It turned out that it was a good time to go. There were only leftovers in the private room, but no trace of the person. No one saw them come out, which was terrible.
It just disappeared.
When Sun Dianli arrived at the magistrate's office, he saw a chaotic situation. He found a doorman and called the magistrate to deliver a message, "Several adults in our county are missing. Please be lenient and inform us... This is not a trivial matter.
…”
The doorman pointed to a few carriages outside the gate: "You have lost your lord? Haha! They have even lost their catcher and the pawnbroker, and here is the master. Are you reporting it? Who are you reporting to? You have lost your lord,
Did we lose our master? Go, go, go! We are busy, we are preparing to go to the governor’s Yamen..."
ah?
"All lost!" Zhang Wenhua, the governor of Jiangbei, looked at the large pile of submissions and the endless stream of submissions coming in. He was completely confused, "How could they all be lost?"
While I was in a daze, a report came from outside: "Master Futai...it's not good...it's not good..."
"I know it's bad!" Zhang Futai said angrily, "Tell me, who lost it again?"
"It's not someone who lost it..." The visitor gasped: "He's here...he's here...His Royal Highness Taisun...he's here..."
Grandson? Here he comes!
Zhang Wenhua's expression changed: How could he not throw away everything that should be thrown away, and throw away everything that shouldn't be thrown away!
