At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 318

Zhang Yi bid farewell to Cao Nai, left Beijing on a fast horse, and finally arrived in Changping before dark.

He first found an inn in the county to stay, and asked for some meals. After eating, he asked the shop assistant to find a worn coarse cloth. Take a chopstick and insert it.

When he went out again, the guys in the shop were all shocked.

I don't remember such a person staying in the store, where did he come from?

Zhang Shangqianyi asked: "Excuse me...how can I get to Wangjiazhuang?"

The clerk said dully: "Out of the county, go east five miles."

Zhang Yi clasped his fists as a gesture, and then left on his own.

When he arrived at Wangjiazhuang, it was getting late, and he was about to find someone to ask for directions, but he heard someone in front say: "Excuse me, I want to ask you something, where is the home of Master Wang here?"

"Towards the front, the biggest house is!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yi was puzzled, he stepped forward and saw that this person was dressed similarly to himself, also in coarse cloth, what was surprising was that he had the same style of chopsticks stuck in his head.

At this time, the man inadvertently turned his head...

Although the sky was dark, Zhang Yi recognized him immediately, Tang Xinggu?
At the same time, Tang Xinggu also found Zhang Yi, the two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

"Master Zhang!"

"Tang Yushi!"

Zhang Yi stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Xinggu looked at Zhang Yi's attire as if looking in a mirror, and said, "I think it's the same purpose as Mr. Zhang."

"Um……"

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then said: "In that case, let's go together!"

"Exactly!"

The two walked along the road and soon saw a courtyard with high walls.

To be honest, the two of them have seen too many mansions. This kind of house is at most... relatively spacious, but it looks very luxurious in the small Wangjiazhuang.

Needless to say, it must be here.

Tang Xinggu went forward to knock on the door, and after a while, the door opened a crack.

The concierge poked out half of his head, stared at the two of them, looked up and down, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Tang Xinggu clasped his fists and said, "Is this the house of Master Wang?"

The concierge asked doubtfully, "Do you recognize my master?"

"It's like this. The two of us missed the investment shop on the way. I heard that Master Wang is kind and generous. Can you stay here for a night and have a rest?"

This is a set of rhetoric that Tang Xinggu has already prepared, let's test the character of this Wang Shichang first.

After hearing this, the concierge looked disgusted and said: "My master is not at home, hurry up and leave!"

With a smile on his face, Tang Xinggu said, "But, it's getting late, and there's no inn nearby..."

The concierge ignored him, shrank his head back, and was about to close the door, when Tang Xinggu saw this, he hurried forward and grabbed the crack of the door.

"Hey, let me say, you stinky beggar, are you looking for a beating?"

Tang Xinggu explained: "We are not beggars, we just want to stay for one night, and we hope it will be convenient."

The concierge had already changed his countenance, and said viciously: "I said you are not annoying, ask for food and go elsewhere, if you don't leave, let the dog bite you!"

"We really just want to stay overnight, nothing else..."

At this time, two lanterns appeared in the distance, and a sedan chair could be seen vaguely, the concierge pushed Tang Xinggu away and said, "My master is back, I advise you to leave quickly, don't make trouble for nothing!"

Tang Xinggu was about to speak, but he felt someone pulling his skirt, turned his head to look, it turned out that Zhang Yi was winking at him.

"Okay then, excuse me!"

After finishing speaking, the two left, but did not go far, but found a corner to hide.

Tang Xinggu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, why are we leaving?"

Zhang Yi also lowered his voice, and replied, "They won't let us in, so we can't force our way in either!"

"If you don't enter the Wang's house, how will you investigate the case?"

"Do you think the two of us can beat those nursing homes of the Wang family?"

"I didn't say I wanted to fight them!"

"If you don't do anything, people will move. Can't you tell? The concierge seems to be used to being arrogant. From this, it can be seen that Wang Shichang is not a good person."

Tang Xinggu thought for a while and said, "Although this is the case, this alone is not enough to explain the problem."

The two of them were muttering in the corner of the wall. At this time, the sedan chair had already fallen, and Wang Shichang came out.

He is in a very bad mood now. Today he went to the county seat to visit the magistrate Wang Ying. The food and drink had just been served, and he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, but he saw two servants from Shuntian Mansion hurrying over, saying that the magistrate had summoned him, asking Wang Ying to go now. Shuntian Mansion returned to life.

Seeing that Wang Shichang belonged to the Shuntian Mansion, he planned to flatter him, but he didn't expect that he was ignored at all, and just urged Wang Ying to leave immediately.

Wang Ying also wondered, it's getting dark, is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow?
Besides, Changping is not far away from the capital, and it will be too late tomorrow morning!

However, those guards didn't listen at all, they only said that they had to leave immediately and rushed to Shuntian Mansion overnight, and said that this was personally explained by the magistrate, if Wang Ying didn't leave, he would be tied up too!
Finally, Wang Ying felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What happened, please tell me!"

The two guards were also helpless, one of them said: "Liu San's case has alarmed the cabinet, and Shuntian Prefecture wants to verify the case, so please cooperate with Wangzhi County!"

"cabinet?"

Only then did Wang Ying realize the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "Which one of the cabinet ministers has alarmed?"

The officer replied: "It's Peng Qing, a newly promoted cabinet scholar. Then Liu San once went to sea with Peng Daren, so Mr. Peng is very concerned about this case. Don't ask, magistrate Wang. If you can't make it tomorrow morning, At that time, the magistrate may not be able to step down!"

Wang Ying nodded and said, "I'll go with you now, but this trip is in a hurry, I have to explain a few words, please stay outside for a while!"

The two guards agreed and came outside to wait.

Wang Ying grabbed Wang Shichang, explained to him, and then left for Shuntian Mansion overnight.

In this way, Wang Shichang hurried back to Wangjiazhuang, got off the sedan chair, and immediately ordered: "You guys, go and tell those who have testified carefully. No matter who asks about this case again, not a single word of the testimony will be accepted." Change, otherwise, I will have his whole family buried with him!"

Zhang Yi and Tang Xinggu heard these words clearly, and their expressions became solemn at the same time.

It seems that there is no need to investigate this case any further.

Tang Xinggu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do next?"

Zhang Yi frowned, and said: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, let's go back and move troops!"

Tang Xinggu suddenly smiled and said: "Jin Yiwei is on standby in the county, ready to act at any time."
