Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The carriage was bumping so hard that the thief who had just treated the wound stained the gauze on his buttocks red again.

    The thief¡¯s face was as golden as paper, with big beads of sweat rolling down his face. However, he maintained the most painful kneeling position for him and did not dare to move.

    ??????? Ni Tuiguan was not in the carriage.

    On the contrary, it was the firewood manager who was hiding in Anhua Temple, sitting cross-legged and looking at the thief expressionlessly.

    "What do you do for food?" Manager Chai asked coldly: "You have been searching for so long, but you haven't found anything, and you still let people arrest you alive?!"

    "Usually their backyards are unguarded" The thief was so regretful that he couldn't figure out why he was so unlucky to be caught.  "I didn't expect them to be so alert. When the whistle was blown, dozens of people rushed out together, and they also had powerful crossbows"

    In fact, Zhao Shizhen¡¯s forty-step hand crossbow is far from the standard of a powerful crossbow.  But in order to reduce their punishment, the thieves can only exaggerate their severity.

    "Have you been tortured?" Manager Chai looked at his half-dead state and snorted coldly: "What did they ask?"

    "They just asked us what our purpose was, but I swore to Master Yang that I didn't say anything!" The thief hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of me, they treated my subordinates as ordinary people.  The thief will be sent to the county government at dawn."

    "Huh" Manager Chai asked again and again. Seeing that the culprit was getting it right over and over again, he said coldly: "I can't let you go right away. If the Zhao family asks about the case again, Shuntian Mansion will have no way to explain it."

    "Yes" The thief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the manager said he could leave immediately, he would have to worry about whether he would be killed and silenced.

    ??~~

    Manager Chai got out of the carriage and got into another car following behind.

    Ni Tuiguan is also on top.  Manager Chai briefly told Officer Ni what he had learned, and then said calmly: "This man should die quickly."

    "That's right, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the safer it is." The official nodded and said helplessly: "Actually, I would rather not know anything."

    "It's now like this, what's the use of saying these words?" Manager Chai frowned in displeasure and said, "Or is it that Cao Fuyin didn't explain it clearly to you?"

    "Okay, I just want to complain" The promotion officer also looked depressed when he heard this.  "Did you say you were going to let go? And did you say I was going to let go?"

    ¡°Everyone is very stressed and anxious when they can¡¯t find something for so long.

    But the serious consequences of not being able to find something forced the two of them to calm down and recalculate their next step.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you go all out and find our Shaoyin family again?¡± the official said with a sudden worry.

    "I have investigated these days and found that Wu Shaoyin's nephew came to Beijing with the Zhao family." Manager Chai shook his head and said solemnly: "So they were together at that time."

    "What do you mean?" Ni Tuiguan looked at him as if he didn't understand.

    "I don't want to work hard anymore." Then Mr. Chai said: "Please take action from your governor. Capture one or two of their people. As long as the things are in the hands of these two gangs, you can definitely force them to hand it over."

    "This" Ni Tuiguan thought for a moment and realized that it was really not good to steal anymore, otherwise it would only increase the risk of exposure.

    He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report to the Ming Mansion."

    "Yeah." Manager Chai looked at the falling snowflakes outside and said worriedly: "If we don't get this thing sorted out, what will happen to the business in the south next year?"

    "I know." Ni Tuiguan nodded and said, "I will get the person as soon as possible."

    After a pause, he smiled happily and said, "Fortunately, Zhao Jin has already gone south to Guizhou, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take anyone with him under his protection."

    "Yes." Manager Chai nodded. After thinking about it, he felt that this method was very good!

    ??~~

    At noon the next day, Zhao Shouzheng was invited to attend a cultural meeting at the Yansheng Mansion next to Xiyuan.

    Duke Yansheng¡¯s mansion is in Qufu, but Duke Yansheng will come to Beijing every year to pay his respects, so after the twelfth lunar month, he will live in the mansion given by the emperor.

    As a descendant of Confucius, Duke Yansheng couldn't just kowtow and offer sacrifices, so he took the initiative to think that he had the responsibility to educate the world's Confucian scholars.  During his stay in Beijing, he would regularly invite famous Confucian scholars and young talents to his residence to hold literary gatherings and provide incentives for future students to study.

    Although he mainly wanted to increase his presence, scholars are still proud to receive the invitation from Yan Shenggong.

    A few days ago, people from Duke Yansheng¡¯s Mansion sent invitations, but only Zhao Shouzheng was invited.  Sanyang was not invited, and no one invited the kid Zhao Hao.

      This fully shows that Yan Shenggong¡¯s invitation is only based on reputation, not strength

    Since entering Beijing, Zhao Shouzheng has provided gifts to no less than a hundred people and spent more than 10,000 taels of silver.

    Now that his reputation as "timely rain" has spread, he is naturally more famous in the capital than his son and disciples.

    So he received the invitation, but no one else did.

    Both Zhao Hao and Sanyang said he should go, thinking this was a good opportunity to show his face.

    So Zhao Shouzheng, who had always been good-natured, dressed neatly and left Chunsong Hutong in a sedan.

    ¡°Unexpectedly, as soon as we left the alley, the sedan was stopped.

    "Is that Mr. Zhao who is a member of the Yingtian Mansion on the sedan?" an official with a bird feather in his head asked with a smile on his face.

    "It's my master." Fang Wen flashed and said, "What are you doing?"

    "Sorry, Shuntian Mansion asked Mr. Zhao to go back and ask a few questions." The official took out the ticket with a big red seal.

    "My master was invited by Yan Shenggong to attend a cultural gathering at the government residence." Fang Wen then raised a banner and made a tiger skin, hoping to make the official give up and said: "I will go to the government office to listen to the training when I have time another day.  Bar."

    "That won't work." The official waved his hand and asked his men to surround the sedan and said, "I have a destiny on the mountain. I must invite Mr. Zhao today."

    "What's going on?" Zhao Shouzheng opened the sedan curtain and looked at the official in displeasure.

    "It's a case of theft of a son from Yingtian Mansion. As the reporter, Mr. Zhao should cooperate with Shuntian Mansion in the investigation." The official smiled with him, stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

    "Well" Zhao Shouzheng glanced at Fang Wen and sat back in the sedan.

    Under the urging of the officials, the bearers slowly lifted the sedan and headed towards Shuntianfu along the Dongdan archway.

    ??~~

    In the west courtyard of Zhao Mansion, Zhao Hao has been having nightmares for the past two nights and is currently lying on the kang to catch up on his sleep.

    The three apprentices and Zhao Shizhen were doing geometry problems outside, while Zhao Shixi continued to practice boxing with the men

    Just when everyone thought that this day was going to pass safely as usual, Fang Wen ran in quickly.

    "Did you see clearly who went in?" Wang Wuyang asked in the hall, looking at the opened door curtain.

    "I didn't see clearly." Wang Dingjue said.

    "That's Xiao Fang" Hua Shuyang said.

    "Well, there is no one else except him." Zhao Shizhen also agreed, so the four of them continued to immerse themselves in the competition to see who could solve this proposition first.

    After a moment, there was a sputtering sound inside, and then the master yelled angrily: "Okay, the bully came to the door, you thought I was alone, didn't you?"

    The four of them hurriedly dropped their pens and ran in. They saw the master with a livid face, changing into the clothes for going out under Fang Wen's service.

    "Master, what's wrong?" the eldest disciple asked hurriedly.

    "Your master has been captured." Zhao Hao put on his boots, stepped on the ground with his feet, and said with a dark face: "I'm going to get him back now!"

    "Let's go with Master!"

    ¡°I¡¯ll call my brother again!¡±

    "Go, everyone go!" Zhao Hao nodded heavily and gritted his teeth: "Spread the news for me. The more people you can find, the better!"

    When he gets angry, he gets angry, but he doesn't dare to make any big deal about it.

    That is Shuntian Mansion. He has no idea whether he can fish the person out

    Since everyone has their own secrets, let¡¯s make things bigger. The bigger the trouble, the safer it will be!
