    Just when Li Tang followed Lao Zheng to Zheng's house to investigate, Li Tang turned around and saw that Xie Wenyu was looking around not far away, as if looking for someone, she didn't see Li Tang until Li Tang called her loudly, and she seemed to be flying.  ran over.

    "Wenyu, why are you here?"

    "Staying in Chu's house was boring, so I came out to play. Chen Qing'er and Zhao Xiaowu are indeed a couple. Whatever I say, she looks shocked, as if she has never seen the world. Alas, we can't talk together at all.  go."

    "What have you said to Qing'er, why didn't he know anything about it?"

    "At first we talked about flowers and plants, and we were able to chat, but I was not interested in those things, so I chatted with her about some things that girls use every day, such as Chuyue's makeup powder, Shu brocade from Western Shu, and Western Regions.  Exotic treasures and so on, but every time I say something, she has an incredible expression, she is really ignorant."

    Seeing the annoyance on Xie Wenyu's face, as if he regretted telling Qing'er these things, Li Tang burst out laughing when he saw this: "Oh, my Miss Wenyu, you are really a lady, you have eaten and met, you are an ordinary person  How could the woman in my life have seen the good things you mentioned, not to mention you, even I haven't seen them for many years, I think back when I was still in the capital"

    "Have you ever been to the capital? Tell me about the interesting places in the capital." Xie Wenyu stared at Li Tang curiously.

    Li Tang suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and immediately kept silent on the topic, and asked instead: "Why don't you ask Chu Tian?"

    "Why didn't I go to him? That guy slept like a dead pig, just like he was caught by a goblin last night. After finally screaming, he said he was exhausted. What else can I say,  I went to find you and you weren't at the residence, so I had to go out to see what was interesting, but I didn't expect to meet you outside."

    "Wenyu, it's fun for you to follow me today." Li Tang pointed to Old Zheng in front of him, Xie Wenyu looked suspiciously at Butler Zheng who was staggering not far away, and suddenly he seemed to notice something  Looking back at Li Tang, he shouted loudly: "Young Master Li, come with me quickly, and investigate clearly as soon as possible so that my young master can be cleared as soon as possible."

    After hearing Lao Zheng's call, Li Tang quickened his pace and followed closely behind, and arrived at the Zheng family compound in a short while.

    "Steward Zheng, just now I asked Catcher Liu, and Catcher Liu said that your young master hid military equipment privately. What's going on? According to the court law, privately hiding military equipment is a serious crime of treason. How could your young master do this?"  How dare you do such a thing?"

    "Hey, Mr. Li, my young master has been wronged. My young master received the government's official dart document two months ago. It happened that the border was banned at that time. With this official document, the young master can be regarded as cleared in the family.  I got rid of my bad habits before, and I'm not afraid of Mr. Li's jokes. Since the official documents came down, my young master has changed his previous bad style and devoted himself to studying the business of the Escort at home. He has never gone out. The goods were sent by Pei Yuanying.  "

    With a grievance on his face, Lao Zheng explained the reason to Li Tang in detail. He also said that when the goods were escorted into the warehouse for the third time, he heard the sound of fighting outside the courtyard wall. Lao Zheng hurriedly passed the letter to Pei Yuanying at night.  However, Pei Yuanying did not take any action.

    "Maybe it was the incident that happened that day that exposed the fact that my family had those things. My young master suffered innocently. My old Zheng is really unforgivable. I have been following the chief escort for many years, why didn't I even do such a little thing?"  Okay, I really want to kill myself, but the young master is probably in the court at this moment, the owner is still guarding the darts outside, and I am the only one in the whole house to worry about this matter, alas, I have lived such an old age for nothing.  "

    Old Zheng Yue said that his expression became more sad, wiped away the tears in his eyes with his sleeves, and continued to explain the unknown matters to Li Tang, but Li Tang couldn't help but smiled wryly, the actual fighting outside the courtyard wall that day  Above all, it was a confrontation between myself and another group of people who monitored the Zheng family. As for the carrier pigeon, it had already fallen into the stomachs of Li Tang and Chu Tianwen.  I couldn't say anything, so I had to listen silently, while Xie Wenyu's head was full of black lines, as if he couldn't understand.

    "Last night, the sky was full of dark clouds and the air was dull. My old Zheng didn't sleep well at night. I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. However, at this time, the warehouse was set on fire. If I had known this earlier, why would I have slept?  , Wouldn't it be good to arrange a few more people?"

    "Steward Zheng, are you saying that the batch of goods was burned in your warehouse? Are there any other hiding places?"

    "No, everything is stored in the warehouse. This warehouse has not been used for many years, and there is usually some firewood and rice in it. Mr. Li wants to?Look at the burning warehouse?  "

    "Well, let's go take a look at the warehouse first. It's hard to say anything until you see what it looks like."

    The old man nodded solemnly, and the three of them immediately came to the surrounding area of ??the warehouse that had been burned to ashes. The fire had already been extinguished, but there were only occasional places that had not been completely burnt and smoked slowly.

    "Is this the Zheng family's old house? Isn't the Zheng family a member of the Escort Bureau? How could there be water in the house? How did you servants do such a job? Can't you notice such a big leak? Besides, such a big warehouse,  Just let him burn for a while, and no patrolling guard can see through it? It's really funny."

    Xie Wenyu looked disgusted in the face of this dirty place. At this time, dirty water had flowed all over the ground around the warehouse, mixed with burnt wood ashes and gathered into a black thing sticking to the ground.  People have nowhere to go.

    "Wenyu mustn't be rude, Zheng's family suffered a catastrophe, you still have the heart to joke, the thief must have knocked out all the guards around him, and also planted spies with good skills around him, if anyone approaches, he will be knocked down immediately,  How could a big family like the Zheng family fail to think of this."

    Li Tang scolded Xie Wenyu angrily. At this time, many servants with nothing to do around the warehouse came to watch. Li Tang thought secretly, judging from when he intercepted the two secret letters before, the Zheng family was lurking with the Pei family's spies.  Maybe he was watching the fun among these people, and immediately looked around, everyone had a serious expression, a look of regret, and it was impossible to tell who was harboring evil intentions.

    "Mr. Li's analysis is that the gang of thieves really knocked down my guards to the ground. If the young master hadn't drunk with Mr. Li yesterday, which made him thirsty and came out to look for water at night, the fire would have burned until dawn.  It¡¯s just a matter of giving up, but fortunately last night¡¯s servant was negligent and forgot to bring water to the young master¡¯s room, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, alas.¡± Lao Zheng was complaining again, Li Tang immediately comforted Lao Zheng a few times, stepped on  Walked towards the foundation of the warehouse with the black water.

    The fire that Chu Tian asked was really powerful. When he smelled it with his nose, he could vaguely smell the smell of kerosene. Li Tang picked up a wooden stick and picked it up as he walked, wanting to see if there was anything burnt inside.  Looking at the shape of the ashes, it is not difficult to see that the goods in the warehouse of the Zheng family are classified and discharged, and the innermost ashes-burned box prototype is empty. This is probably the knife and gun stolen by Chu Tianwen.  It was burned to ashes, and there were a few pieces of filamentous dust that looked like sacks in the ashes. This is probably where the grain and grass were placed. As for the boxes on the outermost layer, they were stacked in a row.  The boxes were burned to ashes and collapsed into a heap.

    Li Tang picked up the ashes on the outermost periphery with the stick in his hand. The more he picked the inside, the more he could see that there were broken boxes and things in the shape of thick wooden sticks, and at the very core, there were several sticks of different lengths.  The wooden square crossbow bed connectors appeared in front of everyone. The two ends had been burned off by the flames, and there were many small pieces of iron scattered in the ashes. Li Tanggang immediately went to bed when he saw these things.  Picking up some ash with the wooden stick in his hand, covering it up, he pulled Old Zheng over and whispered something to him.

    Old Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, bowed his hands to everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone is an old man who has worked hard in the Zheng family for many years. Now the young master is in great trouble, and we don't want to see it. Now Mr. Li Tang Li is here  After some investigation, but found nothing, Mr. Li just told me that there is nothing he can do, everyone should disperse on their own, and go back and think about how to save our young master."

    "I know that our young master has done some things to offend everyone before, but the young master's efforts and improvements are obvious to all. I don't want the young master to be imprisoned just as soon as he wants to correct himself, let alone beheaded and exterminated.  Big crime, if something happens to the young master, everyone will suffer along with it. Please go back and think about it. I, Old Zheng, did not do anything before. I hope you will not make things difficult for me. Now it is for all of us.  A way out, I am here to ask everyone on behalf of the young master."

    Old Zheng burst into tears, hiding his face and weeping bitterly. Some of the servants who didn't know why they heard this all showed horror on their faces. The crimes committed by his young master are likely to implicate himself in beheading, which is too much  It was horrifying. After Lao Zheng finished speaking, all the servants fled in all directions. Some of the unrighteous people even thought about how to take their families away, and very few servants who were loyal to the Zheng family came  Lao Zheng gathered in front of him, ready to discuss countermeasures together, but Lao Zheng waved his hand to signal them to retreat. Seeing that Lao Zheng was unable to do anything, those people could only grit their teeth and retreat angrily. Several people gathered together to discuss how to rescue their young master.

    When everyone left, Lao Zhang wiped away his tears again and walked to Li Tang, asking: "Mr. Li, everyone has retired now, please tell me what you can do, the young master doesn't know what to bear at this time."  What a pain, my old Zheng is burning with anxiety."

    Li Tang took a wooden stick and slashed at the ashes that had been turned over just now. The ash was scattered, revealing the remnants of the crossbow bed that hadn't been completely burned inside.Come on, please tell me what you can do, the young master still doesn't know how much pain he is enduring, my old Zheng is burning with anxiety.  "

    Li Tang took a wooden stick and slashed at the ashes that had been turned over just now. The ash scattered, revealing the remnants of the crossbow bed that hadn't been completely burnt inside.
