The four hundred and fortieth chapters are turned upside down
Mrs. Chang woke up immediately when she heard the noise and stepped forward to help Chang Yue get dressed. Chang Yue couldn't wait any longer, pushed his wife away, threw on some clothes and strode out of the inner room.
Chang Yue's movements were extremely fast, and his usual lazy look disappeared, replaced by neatness and shrewdness.
"What's going on? Haven't I told them to be careful lately?" Chang Yue frowned.
The steward immediately reported: "Those gentlemen are not like the good people in the government you mentioned. They are no different from the dandies in the capital. They smell of alcohol but they still drink and eat meat and order the girls in the building to serve them. Moreover, they enter
When we entered the restaurant, we were already unsteady on our feet, so the doorkeeper didn’t care..."
Chang Yue didn't want to hear these words. The people in Uzang were self-righteous and didn't take his advice to heart. Now they are causing trouble. Let's see how they end up.
"What did they do?"
"At first, they smashed the table and scared the girls in the restaurant. The restaurant thought someone was making trouble, so they sent some people to arrest them. Unexpectedly, these people turned off the lights and prevented each other from seeing each other. They took advantage of the chaos to steal.
He stole the madam's money bag and tore off the clothes of several people. His methods were like those of bandits, and one of them even forced the girls to get some soft goods."
The steward glanced at Chang Yue cautiously: "Maybe they really are bandits." No matter how he heard it, he felt that these people were not good people, and the government office did not do this in handling affairs.
"With such a chaos, other guests in the restaurant were in a hurry to leave, and those people took advantage of the chaos to sneak in among the guests... The good restaurant was turned upside down by their torment."
Hearing this, Chang Yue said in a deep voice: "So the people in Uzang couldn't help but come out to clean up."
The steward nodded.
Chang Yue's face suddenly became very ugly. He immediately went to see the hourglass. He could not send news to the palace in the middle of the night. The only people who could handle the case at night were the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and the Dusi Guards. The Dusi Guards were responsible for protecting the safety of the capital and generally would not interfere with the case.
When He came in, the Shuntian Mansion Yamen didn't know when he would arrive. He wanted to hide the people in Wu Zang before the Yamen arrived.
I don't know if I can make it in time.
Chang Yue ordered: "Come here, help me change my clothes." He really looked forward to celebrating the New Year earlier. This year's year was not very good. His life was not easy. He finally got through in Changzhou, and now he is being roasted on the fire again.
stand up.
At any time, the troublemakers all sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
…
Fuqing Restaurant is already in a mess.
However, a group of people came from nowhere and immediately stabilized the situation. The bandits who caused trouble in the restaurant hid in the corner and did not dare to show up again.
The owner of the restaurant had bruises on his face and his clothes had been torn. He said with a ferocious expression: "It's true they are bandits. They took all the money I put on the cabinet, and all the valuables in the dark room of the restaurant were also looted.
, they cannot be allowed to escape.”
There were five people standing at the door of the restaurant. One of them heard what the shopkeeper said: "They can't run away today."
"Wumu," the shopkeeper whispered, "you have to be careful, those people are very skilled in fists and kicks."
The leader Wu Mu nodded, took the torch handed over by the shopkeeper, and strode in.
According to Wu Mu's plan, the bandits can be captured in a quarter of an hour. The bandits have eyes and can quickly judge the current situation. As soon as Wu Mu and others appear, they will not dare to act unscrupulously.
.
After all, they are all a group of shady people.
Wu Mu led people to check from room to room, and then he heard a noise from a house not far away, which was the sound of silverware clanking.
Apparently the bandits were hiding there.
Wu Mu picked up the stick in his hand, rushed over in a few steps, and kicked the door open fiercely. Under the light of the torch, a cat immediately jumped up from the ground, arched its body and exploded its fur, and showed its teeth to Wu Mu,
There are two silver collar-like things on the cat's neck, which make a crisp knocking sound as the cat moves.
Fooled, Wu Mu thought in his mind, and then he felt a strong wind coming towards him. He reacted quickly without turning around and waved his stick to block it, but he missed it and the strong wind turned towards his legs.
Hit it up.
Wu Mu received the blow firmly.
The other three people heard the movement and all gathered around. Just as they were about to take action, they felt their legs tighten and a rope wrapped around their legs.
wrong.
Wumu came to his senses at this time. The bandits should have fled after taking the things, and would not wait for them here. It seemed that they wanted to keep them here.
Someone discovered their whereabouts.
Wumu whistled to signal a few people to leave. They immediately pulled out the sharp weapons hidden in their legs to cut the rope. Just as they were bending to cut the rope, someone hit them with fists.
The shopkeeper at the door heard the whistle and knew that he had been fooled. His expression immediately changed. Those people might not be bandits, but deliberately set a trap to catch Wu Mu. He suddenly panicked. He wanted to find a way to let Wu Mu.
Several people escaped.
"Shopkeeper, someone from the Yamen is here."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be startled, why did he arrive so quickly? It was night now, even if the yamen got the news, it would take at least half an hour to arrive. He immediately looked at the madam next to him and motioned for her to stop him.
The old bustard came forward to greet him with several charming girls.
I saw a young official walking over with someone.
Immediately, an official came forward and said, "This is Mr. Huang Qinghe, the general judge of Shuntian Prefecture."
"Master Huang."
The torch shone over, and Mr. Huang frowned. Apparently he didn't like being exposed to the bright light. He raised his head and looked over: "What happened?"
The old bustard said anxiously: "Some bandits are here."
Huang Qinghe asked: "Can you see the faces of those people clearly?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded: "I saw it clearly, but I didn't seem to see it clearly." Those people were covering their faces when walking. When they entered the house, some people covered their faces with their sleeves, and then the lights went out.
"What have they done?" Huang Qinghe asked.
"Smashed the restaurant..."
Huang Qinghe touched the hem of his clothes where there was vegetable juice, and remembered that he was wearing official uniform outside, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"They robbed property and beat people, especially one of them, who had a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheeks. When I walked over, he deliberately avoided it. It looked like he was not a good person. I had some impression of that person. He looked like... just
Like..." The woman stared at Huang Qinghe. She wanted to say that she was somewhat similar to Mr. Huang, but this would definitely offend him.
"My lord, my lord, you have to make the decision for us. Those people have already escaped among the crowd."
"They grabbed the things and left. I saw them going into the alley."
"My money is all my savings over the years, sir..."
Huang Qinghe's face stiffened and he said in a deep voice: "This is unreasonable. How can such a thing happen under the emperor's feet? We should deal with it strictly."
The madam was secretly happy in her heart. As long as the Yamen left, Wu Mu and the others would have a chance to escape. The joy had just come to her heart, but she hadn't had time to taste it yet.
I only heard Huang Qinghe ordering the officers: "No one here is allowed to leave. Everyone who appears around the restaurant will be interrogated and the place will be surrounded."
