Zhurou

Chapter 108
Here the little girl hastily came to report the news, but in the patrol shop a few streets away, the missing cook was standing at the bottom of the steps, feeling aggrieved.

She said: "You say that Miss Zhao is a spy, you have to have evidence? Don't you just rely on other people's casual reports, and you have to take it seriously?"

"Whether it is true or not, when the report can be made, the yamen will deal with it impartially, so you don't need to take care of it." A messenger said out loud.

He asked again: "How many people are there in that house, and what are their identities?"

Although the cook was dissatisfied, she was facing officials from the Yamen, so she had to answer them one by one.

Hearing her answer, the messenger knew that besides the ordinary servants, there were a dozen or so guards in the courtyard, and he frowned immediately, and said, "I have already asked you about Lizheng in the street. There are only a few people, why there are so many guards suddenly, where did they come from?"

The cook said: "Ms. Zhao is a guest. She can live in a girl's house. How can my master's house be at ease? Naturally, someone will be arranged to guard it."

"Who is the master?" The officer was even more suspicious, and asked, "Where did the dozen or so guards come from?"

Originally, because of his sympathy, he was suppressed from above and had to come and see. Now that he asked a few more questions, he felt that there seemed to be something strange in it, and he started to get serious.

It is said that there are many unknown people hiding in that house, and they are extremely vicious.

He thought there were only a few, but now there are more than a dozen. How could this kind of fierce man who has no scruples in his actions, arrange it as soon as he says it?
Hearing the other party's question, the cook reported Li Xun's name, and said: "The 'Li's Escort Bureau' in the city is my main property, and the bodyguards are all ready-made. Not surprising, is it?"

He said again: "Fortunately, there are so many guards, today I was almost forced into..."

When she said this, she suddenly realized, and said: "It can't be those strong people who came here to make a false accusation? How can you listen to their nonsense!"

The officer heard the words "Li's Bodyguard Bureau", the vigilance on his face disappeared, he asked a few more words, then left the cook behind, and hurried out of the inner room by himself.

There were two men waiting outside, one in a brocade robe and the other in a commoner garment.

As soon as the messenger came out, he said to them: "You two, I'm afraid this time is a misunderstanding—the owner of the house is surnamed Li, and he was originally the head of Li's bodyguard bureau. This bodyguard bureau has been in the city for some years, and it is very reliable... ..."

"Where is the misunderstanding?" The man in the brocade robe immediately stood up, squinting his eyes and squinting, "Chu Lin saw with his own eyes that the woman stole something from the village master's son, and saw her hand a letter to Ren Di. And fake?"

"According to what you said, the Li family who opened the bodyguard agency is trustworthy, and the woman surnamed Zhao is trustworthy, but Chu Lin can't be trusted, and our Chen family can't be trusted?"

The officer was sweating when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen's words are really ashamed of a villain. Of course, Mr. Chu would not talk nonsense... But, where is the letter now? If it is just an ordinary letter..."

Then Mr. Chen said: "I have already sent someone to find out about Tongdi's letter. As for the details, of course I have to capture the woman surnamed Zhao first, so that I can make detailed inquiries."

He also urged: "If there is nothing wrong, go to her house and ask, will you know?"

The messenger reluctantly said: "It's already midnight, and I haven't received the approval document from the yamen..."

"You were robbed by bandits on the road, and you went to chase the robbers, so you have to get approval before you are willing to go? What's the point!" Mr. Chen scolded angrily, "You have to think clearly, now is the critical time for the Fanren to surrender , if there is really an adulterer, secretly stir up some trouble, just because you missed the opportunity, something will happen in the future..."

He said again: "If you refuse, I don't bother to urge you anymore, go home and explain clearly to your father, ask him to report to the state government, and then the state government will send someone to come!"

As soon as the words came out, the officer didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to find Mr. Chen, the villain will call a few brothers together..."

Mr. Chen's expression softened a little, but he reminded: "Shout more, there are many people guarding the house, and everyone is very skilled, be careful not to lose money by stealing chickens!"

The officer nodded hastily, turned around and went out, but couldn't help repeating the phrase "stealing a chicken can't cost you a lot of rice" in his heart, and muttered to himself: I am an official, what kind of chicken should I steal?Who wants to steal the chicken!I'm the one to catch and steal chickens!

But of course, he couldn't say this in front of the people behind him, so he could only go out in aggrieved manner, calling for someone to report to his boss for advice, and slowly counting the heads.

As soon as the messenger left, the young man in civilian clothes couldn't hold back any longer, and asked, "Chen Jiu, why do you act like this? If you accidentally cause trouble..."

"Who caused the trouble this time?" The brocade robed Chen Jiu waved his hand impatiently, signaling the other party to shut up, "Are you accompanying the couple of sons and daughters of Village Master Tian? Accompany them, accompany them into the prison Already!"

"My lord father is still talking about things with the owner of the village in Baqiao. When he comes back, he sees his son and daughter being neglected like this. How do you explain it?"

"Then you can't slander other people's innocence! How can you talk nonsense about Tong Di's spy?? When will I see her stealing again, and when will I see her face Di people again?"

"Then tell me, is there any other way to get him out?" Chen Chen said in an irritable tone, "Why are you so wordy! If she didn't know how to flatter her, she accepted my sister's post yesterday and met each other to clear up the misunderstanding. Tell me, or be more polite when you come to the door today, and tell me to go in and explain the matter, and let him out of prison, how can there be such a result!"

As he said in his mouth, he gently touched his stomach with his right hand as if consciously, and immediately let out a hiss, and said again: "It's too arrogant in broad daylight! Hit me if you want to, do you think I'm easy to bully?!"

"If I don't teach her a lesson today and lock up all those lunatics, my surname will not be Chen!"

Chu Lin hesitated for a while, and persuaded: "It's better to forget it, and send a letter to the lord as soon as possible, asking him for an idea, maybe it's just a post, and people can release it..."

"Do you think I haven't tried it?" Chen Chen's face became even more ugly, "Everyone in Jingzhao Mansion treats my father like a fart. Take it on horseback, which one is not for coaxing, but..."

"Forget it, go to that house first, wait until you can get in, if she refuses to agree, go to the yamen to withdraw the pleading paper and release her, if something is really found in that house, I can't blame me!"

Chu Lin stumbled and said, "It's so good, why did it end here!"

But Chen Chen was dissatisfied and said: "Although you are not surnamed Chen, you have received many benefits from my father, don't you think his situation is not in your eyes? With the current situation of the imperial court, I don't know how long it can last."

"If I don't prepare at all, what will happen to me one day in the future? Will it still be fished by others?"

Chu Lin was taken aback, and asked, "What is the way out? Could it be, Fanren..."

Chen Jiudao: "I'm not used to what's going to happen in the future. If you make good deals with Fan people, go to Fan land to buy some properties, there will be a lot of benefits but no harm. Besides, you can use Fan people to contain Pei Yong..."

"No wonder." Chu Lin woke up suddenly, "It's no wonder that in the past six months, my lord has been so close to the Fanren, and I still fold up and down every now and then, asking for seals and rewards for the masters of the village. It turns out..."

"But like you said, Pei Yong is very arrogant, and if he knows it, how can he bear it? If he offends people because of this, wouldn't it be because of a small loss... No matter how much wealth you have, you must have your life Enjoy it..."

He also said: "Besides, eating the king's salary, bearing the king's worries, and serving the emperor's life, when the time comes, are you going to run away?"

Chen Jiu let out a "bah" and said, "My father was ordered by the Supreme Emperor, and he was also paid by the Supreme Emperor. What does it have to do with Caizhou?"

He sneered again and said, "What is if? Since the day Qian Gang was hacked to death by the Jingzhao Mansion, my father wrote a letter to thoroughly investigate the matter, find out the identity of the culprit, and punish Pei Yong with a salary and demote him. If you reprimand him again, you've already offended him to death, do you think there is still room for maneuver?"

"Just trying to survive."

"Don't you think that you can sit alone because you are not surnamed Chen. If there is something wrong with my father, can you make it clear??"

Chu Lin was very aggrieved at first, but after hearing Chen Jiu's words, he had no choice but to say, "Nevertheless, when the girl writes the letter of self-report and the two children of Village Master Tian are released, don't embarrass her. good..."

Chen Chen sneered, but didn't speak any more. He just stood up and walked out. As he walked, he shouted at the slow-moving officer standing in the courtyard of the patrol shop: "Just order a few soldiers, order some soldiers." After such a long time, let the thieves run away, can you bear the responsibility yourself?!"

Turning his head to Chu Lin again, he said, "What are you doing sitting here, go away! You are still waiting for you to recognize the spies!"

Not to mention the chaos here, in the courtyard inside the city gate, everyone has their own affairs, those who report to the officials, those who are looking for people are looking for people.

Suddenly, a cook was lost inexplicably, and she was someone she had just met. Zhao Mingzhi always remembered it. After she asked a few words, Mu Xiang said: "Miss, don't worry. Since someone saw that it was taken away by an official, if you want to come If there is any misunderstanding, Guanshi Feng has already gone to deal with it."

He said again: "There are patrol shops on the streets and at the end of the street. It's hard to say outside the city. There haven't been many homicide cases in the city in the past two years. Don't worry."

He stared at Zhao Mingzhi again as he ate his meal, waited for a while, saw that she had taken the medicine, and when she was done washing, he urged her to sleep.

Zhao Mingzhi slept for a full day and night. Logically, he didn't feel sleepy anymore. He even felt his head swell from sleep. After taking the medicine, he couldn't help but feel sore eyes. He lay down for a while before he fell asleep in a daze. , but suddenly heard someone's voice outside, and someone knocked on the door vigorously, shouting: "Open the door, it's an official sent to the door!"

Not long after, someone entered the yard and shouted outside: "The people inside come out first, the Yamen will search this house!"

Zhao Mingzhi tried his best to open his eyes, put on his clothes, pulled his shoes out of bed, and took out the knife mold under the pillow and pinned it to his waist. Looking around, he could not see the fragrance of wood, but the bedding on the imperial concubine's couch beside the bed was warm. I think I went out to check it out.

Although I don't know what happened, but being rushed into the house is the most ugly thing, so I might as well take the initiative.

She tidied up a bit, pulled back her hair briefly, adjusted her skirts, lit the lantern on the table, and left with it.

Seeing that there was no one in the back yard, Zhao Mingzhi went back to the front yard again, and sure enough, he saw the door was open, and more than twenty guards blocked it, not letting anyone in, and Mu Xiang was at the end, yelling to stop the other party: "Midnight Breaking into a private house, even if it is a yamen, you can't do it casually, right? Do you have any approval? Bring me the approval and I'll see it!"

A dozen or so patrolmen confronted him, and the one who was the first said: "Don't be so wordy! When I received the report, I only said that there are spies here—is there a woman surnamed Zhao in the house?"

There are only six women in the house plus the cook and the little girl, and Zhao Mingzhi himself is the only one surnamed Zhao.

She was surprised for a moment, but she was not sure how the matter happened, and was hesitating whether to go forward, when a person outside the door cut off the conversation in a cold voice: "Who will report it? Where is the evidence? How come I don't know what happened in my family?"
