- It wasn¡¯t until Xu Ying was carried into the dormitory and the doctor was called to treat the sore that Xu Bangning came back to his senses.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He changed his expression and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go back to Nanjing."
Although everyone¡¯s surname is Xu, if something happens, you can still rely on your father.
"Sir, shall we take the land route or the water route?" the steward asked tactfully.
"How can you take the waterway during a typhoon?" Xu Bangning rolled his eyes at him.
"Get the car ready! Let's go back from Jiaxing."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In fact, he is very cowardly in reality. Let alone crossing Kunshan, he does not dare to leave from Nanzhili.
From Songjiang, we went directly to Zhejiang and made a big circle back to Nanjing, just for one word, 'safety'.
Xu Bangning left immediately. An hour later, the motorcade set off from Afangyuan without even bothering to say goodbye to Xu Ying.
When he left Afang Garden, he opened the curtain and looked back at the garden that had left him countless happiness, only to find that the servant was taking off the black plaque with gold letters "Afang" from the lintel.
This gave Xu Bangning an ominous premonition, and he quickly ordered in a low voice: "Hurry up."
After saying that, he lowered the car curtain and never dared to show his head again.
The wind was blowing loudly along the way, and when the young master heard the sound of horse hooves, he became frightened, fearing that the little devil would come after him.
Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, entering Zhejiang as if fleeing for his life, and then leaving Jiaxing. When he finally arrived in Huzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief.
By now we were hundreds of miles away from Kunshan, and the typhoon had subsided. The young father-in-law finally dared to abandon his car for a boat and take the water route north to Jinling.
??~~
The story is divided into two parts. Over there, Kunshan County blocked the land and water channels passing through the border, and conducted a large-scale inspection of passing business travelers, but naturally found nothing.
In fact, Xiong Dianshi, who was in charge of public security and catching robbers, had already left Kunshan, took four detectives with him, took a small official boat, went north to the Yangtze River via the canal, and rushed to Jinling City.
After five days, Xiong Dianshi and his party arrived at Jiangdongmen Pier.
After getting off the boat, Xiong Dianshi did not dare to knock on the door of the Duke's Mansion rashly.
He first asked his men to find an inn to stay in the city. He planned to get a feel for the situation first, then wash up and have a good sleep before going to the Duke of Wei's mansion for business tomorrow.
¡°Business trips on public funds are so capricious.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, when the five of them gathered in the lobby to have breakfast, they saw that everyone had dark circles under their eyes and looked very poor.
"Why didn't you sleep well?" Xiong Dianshi took the duck blood vermicelli soup from Wang Bantou.
"Isn't the Fourth Master not sleeping either?" Team Leader Wang gave a wry smile.
"How the hell can you sleep well! That's so heartless." Xiong Dianshi sipped the soup.
"Haha, no." The detectives laughed in agreement.
¡°That¡¯s so heartless.¡±
While eating breakfast, several detectives talked to each other about the news they had learned yesterday.
"Fourth Master, I checked the wind direction yesterday and found that the people in Jinling City are as afraid of the Duke's Mansion as a tiger."
"Yes, Fourth Master, they say that the Xu family has thousands of slaves in Jinling City alone, and they run rampant and tyrannical."
"They even set up private courts, killing people is a common occurrence, and Jiangning County and Yingtian Prefecture officials don't dare to intervene."
"Sigh, I heard that Duke Wei regards this young son as his lifeblood and is determined to let him inherit the title. We hope that he will make friends with him, but I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking."
Xiong Dianshi said nothing and silently ate the vermicelli soup from the bowl. This was exactly the same as what he had heard.
"After settling down yesterday, he was not idle. He went to have a drink with a fellow prisoner in the Nanjing Criminal Department.
After the fellow villagers learned of his purpose, they persuaded him all night not to fall into the trap of Zhao Yanei. A fellow villager told Xiong Dianshi that the Xu family had done countless cases over the years, and no one from the Xu family had ever lived in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.
The Xu family has been entrenched in Jinling City for two hundred years. My husband has also served as a garrison in Nanjing for more than forty years, and also contributed to the establishment of the late emperor.
No matter how useless and useless he is, his influence on the city of Nanjing has already accumulated to an incredible level. With Wei Guogong around for a day, the government could only turn a blind eye to his family's affairs, let alone arrest his favorite youngest son.
Even if the Xu family opened the door for him to catch him, he couldn't take Xu Bangning out of Jinling City. He would have to be beaten to death by the rich slaves of the Xu family in brocade clothes on the way.
The fellow villagers even speculated that he had offended Mr. Zhao, and they wanted to get rid of him with the help of the Xu family.
Xiong Dianshi thought carefully about itUnderstand, I have never offended Mr. Zhao, and I have been careful to flatter him. Zhao Hao should not be so crazy as to harm him.
?Then it can only be that he overestimates his own capabilities and wants to shake the big tree like a worm.
Last night, Xiong Dianshi tossed and turned in bed and thought about it all night. He couldn't recall why he didn't refuse the job at that time.
¡°I can only say that I believed Zhao Hao¡¯s ghost.
It¡¯s not an official order from the county magistrate. As a dignified official of the court, why should I listen to the blind orders of a government official?
"Alas" Xiong Dianshi finished the last sip of soup and stood up resignedly.
It¡¯s useless to think about anything now. You¡¯ve come all the way. How can you shrink your eggs at this time?
Even the Palace of the King of Hell has to be visited.
??~~
After breakfast, Xiong Dianshi took Wang Bantou and another officer, inquired all the way, and walked towards Xufu Lane by the Qinhuai River.
When you get to Xufu Alley, you don¡¯t need to ask any more questions, because there is only one family in the huge alley, the Duke of Wei.
Xiong Xiasheng looked at the pair of big stone lions squatting outside the gate of the mansion, and it was as if they were showing off their power and power as the young master said.
Looking up again at the four powerful characters "Wei Guogong's Mansion" on the ancient nanmu plaque, Xiong Dianshi felt like he was almost like an ant.
He took a deep breath, turned around and said to Team Leader Wang, "Go and deliver the letter."
"Uh" Team Leader Wang was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Four Masters, why don't you show your ticket?"
"Let's see if the young master's letter works first." Xiong Dianshi replied in a low voice.
What¡¯s the use of Kunshan County¡¯s ticket cards in Jinling City? If Zhao Hao's letter doesn't matter, it's better for everyone to return home early to avoid retaliation from the Xu family.
Team leader Wang took the letter personally written by the young master and walked to the front of the Xu Mansion. Before he even stepped onto the steps, he was stopped by the powerful slave guarding the door.
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to set foot, is this a place you can step on?!¡±
The frightened squad leader Wang quickly retracted his feet that were hanging in the air, smiled apologetically at the wealthy slaves standing on the steps: "Several adults have invited me, Wang Chao, the small bandit leader of Kunshan County, is here to serve under our yamen." I am ordered to deliver a message to the father-in-law."
The so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and the disciples of the Duke's Mansion all regard themselves as fourth-rank officials.
Several wealthy slaves didn¡¯t even look at him seriously. They pointed at Wang Chao with their navels and said, ¡°Where did the wandering toad come from and come here to make noise?¡±
"Does the county magistrate's son deserve to be called Yanei? Bah!" The wealthy slaves burst into laughter.
"Gungun, don't be an eyesore here, go somewhere cool."
Fortunately, Team Leader Wang was very knowledgeable, so he took out all the five taels of silver and presented it together with the letter.
The other party reluctantly accepted it, but saw Bantou Wang still standing there.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"This Sir, please wait for your father-in-law to reply to my son." Bantou Wang said with a smile.
"What are you thinking about?" Haonu rolled his eyes at him and said, "When will my father-in-law read the letter and whether to reply to the letter or not, will it be you or me who has the final say?"
"It doesn't even count" Wang Bantou shrank his neck.
"Go quickly, don't obstruct the view here." Haonu waved his hand like shooing away flies.
"Then when will we get the letter?"
¡°Let¡¯s talk about it in two days.¡±
Xiong Dianshi had no choice but to live in the store with his men and wait for the letter.
