"Your Majesty understands the Ming government's painstaking efforts." Wu Shilai nodded with difficulty, temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and asked matter-of-factly: "Is that thing really on Zhao Xiaolian's body?"
"It's hard to tell, that's why we have to check." Cao Sanyang sat back on the official chair, picked up the tea cup and wanted to moisten his throat, but found that the tea was already cold. "Ni Dahong said that among the people who may have come into contact with Lu Xuan that day, his family and your nephew were the only ones who have not been investigated."
Wu Shilai hurriedly got up, picked up the copper kettle from the stove, and changed Fu Yin's tea. Wen Yan said softly: "I will go back and look carefully."
"Well, I naturally believe in Wu Zhai." Cao Sanyang looked at Wu Shilai happily and said casually: "There is a person named Feng Wu in the account book, who is Shang Baoqing Xu Ying's domestic servant. ¡¡±
Wu Shilai¡¯s hands trembled and he spilled the water on the table.
Xu Ying is the third son of Mr. Xu Ge. He runs the Xu family¡¯s huge industry in Songjiang
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Xu family could be involved here?
But then I thought about it, how could it not involve the Xu family?
When he was an official in Songjiang, he knew that the Xu family had more than 200,000 acres of farmland, tens of thousands of weavers, and occupied leading positions in the two pillar industries of local silk weaving and cotton spinning.
And that was nearly twenty years ago Nowadays, these numbers may have more than doubled.
"Besides, Mr. Xu Ge, Yan Shifan, and Lu Bing are all sons and daughters Is this just for self-protection, or is there some other insignificant purpose?
Wu Shilai didn¡¯t dare to think about it, but he also didn¡¯t dare to take it seriously.
??~~
Zhao Hao and his son were waiting left and right in Fucheng Yamen.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Wu Shilai returned with a solemn expression.
Seeing that his face was darker than the sky, Zhao Hao knew that something was definitely up to him.
"You all get out." Wu Shilai stepped back, closed the door, and sighed: "We are in big trouble."
"Ah" Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but gasped and sat back on the chair.
Zhao Hao's face was also ugly, and he asked patiently: "Uncle Shi, it's better to speak clearly. Even if we are going to die, we have to be understanding."
"I'm about to tell you." Wu Shilai walked up to the two of them and said carefully:
"Let's put it this way. Do you still remember when you came to Beijing and encountered someone who was being hunted?"
"Well, that's the case." Zhao Shouzheng nodded. After all, such intense scenes are rare.
"That man is the key criminal being pursued by Shuntian Prefecture. He carries something that affects the lives and deaths of many people." When Wu Shilai said this, he looked at Zhao Hao and his son intently. "But after we caught up with the man, we didn't find that thing on him."
"After interrogation, he confessed that he stuffed the thing into your carriage when he passed by it."
When he said this, Wu Shilai was a little apologetic, but the matter was so important that he could only refrain from justice once.
The intention was naturally to put more pressure on the Zhao family and his son.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in surprise: "What on earth is that?"
"It's two account books." Wu Shilai had also been a sales official, so he naturally knew how to observe words and emotions. Seeing that Zhao Shouzheng didn't look like he was faking it, he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. "You might as well go back and look for that thing."
"Well, we have never seen this account book." Now Zhao Hao can't say that it is gone. Doesn't that mean that there is no more than three hundred taels of silver in this place? To show his innocence, he also took the initiative to propose:
"But since Uncle Shi is suspicious of us, why don't I leave it as it is? Please go to my house to look for it with Ni Tuiguan. If you find it, it has nothing to do with us. If you don't find it, I hope this matter That¡¯s the end of it.¡±
"If my nephew has this attitude, things won't be difficult to handle."
This was reasonable and reasonable. Wu Shilai nodded and said, "I'll go ask the Ming Mansion for instructions."
When Wu Shilai went out, Zhao Shouzheng finally couldn't hold himself any longer, looked at his son with a sad face and said, "Son, we won't be in trouble, right?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought, is this what a father should say?
But he could only comfort him softly: "Don't worry, Dad, we didn't do anything wrong, and we're not afraid of ghosts calling the door. Besides, I'm here."
"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng finally calmed down and whispered to his son in a worried voice: "You have to cheer up. If something bad happens, leave me alone and run away for your life."
Zhao Haoxin said, where should I run? Even if you want to abscond from the country, you still have to take their boat.
??~~
Wu Shilai came to Fu Yin's signing room again and told him Zhao Hao's suggestion.
However, Cao Fuyin slowly shook his head and said, "Let his father stay with you first, and you and Ni Dahong will go look for him with him."
"This" Wu Shilai couldn't help but wonder: "The love between father and son is as deep as the sea, so I'm afraid there will be trouble again."
"Wouldn't it be more ugly to catch a person after he was released?" Cao Fuyin's chin was very big, with sharp lines like a knife, making him look resolute and tough.
"Let's wait until the suspicion is completely eliminated"
"This" Wu Shilai felt dizzy and didn't know what to tell Zhao Hao later.
At this time, messy footsteps sounded outside, followed by Ni Tuiguan¡¯s anxious voice:
"Mingfu, can we release him?"
Cao Fuyin¡¯s face sank and he scolded Ni Tuiguan who ran in with sweat on his head. "What the hell is this?!"
"Ming Mansion, there are more and more people outside, two to three hundred have already gathered!"
Who would have thought that Ni Tuiguan's next words would frighten the hard-line Cao Fuyin so much that his old face turned pale.
"What?" Wu Shilai also asked in shock: "Didn't I ask you to stop them?"
"I stopped them, but the people are getting more and more, and I can't stop them anymore!" Ni Tuiguan said with a hoarse throat: "We can't use violence, we can only reason with them, but who can talk to them? "
"Mingfu, we must release him immediately!" Wu Shilai didn't bother to ask further questions, and hurriedly clasped his fists at Cao Fuyin and said, "Let's make amends as soon as possible before the matter gets too serious."
"Yes, Mingfu, they said that if no one is seen within a stick of incense, they will go and beat the drum!"
Ni Tuiguan also said anxiously from the side.
Cao Fuyin stared at Ni Tuiguan as if he wanted to eat someone, and cursed in his heart: "You are the one who said you were arresting people, and you were the one who said you were releasing people. Why are you treating me like a monkey?" ! ¡¯
While he was hesitating whether he should insist on the dignity of Shuntian Mansion or take a step back and wait for the calm, he heard the doorman from outside hurriedly come in to report:
"Sir, the young master of the eldest princess's mansion wants to see you."
"Why is he here to cause trouble?" Naturally, a third-rank official in the Cao Mansion would not take Li Chengen seriously, even though he didn't even have a formal title.
"He is holding the eldest princess's jade plaque" Menzi added.
"Hurry up and open the middle door!" Cao Fuyin's expression suddenly changed, he didn't care about Wu Shilai and Ni Dahong, and hurried out to greet them.
The eldest princess and Your Majesty are brothers and sisters, and Master Fu Yin cannot afford to offend her.
Ni Tuiguan and Wu Shilai were still waiting for him to make up his mind, so they quickly followed him out.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of Fuyin Yamen, they saw the young master Li Chengen, wearing a Sichuan brocade cotton robe and a snow-white fox fur cloak, walking in with steps that he didn't recognize.
