Chapter 140: The Creditor Comes to the Door
Fan Yancheng waved his hand, "Let the door let you go." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSelling silk without permission is a big deal and a fine of silver, and it's not a big crime. He turned his head to Zhang who was sitting next to him and said, "You go back first, and we'll settle your problems later." ”
"Eh!!" Zhang Mouren looked like he had been amnestied, and nodded his head. Turning the door, he took out a handkerchief to wipe a cold sweat, and went downstairs in a gloomy manner.
"It turns out that you came to Xiushan to investigate the case? When did Brother Fan actually enter the court and become an official? Jiang Li pretended to wake up from a dream and asked.
Yuan Bi frowned and said: "Where is my father-in-law's material for being an official!" This time, it wasn't because the third brother had something to do temporarily, so he gave him the errand handed over by the Yushitai. We had already made a clear inquiry before we came to Xiushan, and we were sure to wait for them to take out the pig iron to arrest people on the spot, but we stayed for several days, and we have been very cautious, and we should not leak the news. ”
"If you don't catch the surname Zhang on the spot, there is no other way to sell the fine iron?" Jiang Li's tone was very disapproving.
"What's the other way?" Yuan Bi asked. Fan Yancheng didn't look back, and continued to groan with a blue face.
Jiang Li asked rhetorically: "Are you sure that there is no leakage of news beforehand?" ”
"Probably not." This time it was Fan Yancheng who agreed. "It's the first time we've come to Xiushan, and the guards we've brought with us are all my carefully selected cronies."
"Then the Imperial Observatory has given you the right to decide on the spot?"
"That's nature!" Fan Yancheng was slightly displeased.
Jiang Li came up with an idea: "Then you shouldn't let Zhang Tuiguan go first." There was no evidence at the scene, but there was certainly one at home. Since you can be sure that there is no leakage of information, there must be a lot of evidence in his family that has not had time to be transferred, such as real money and silver, and the huge amount of property can be detained and brought back for trial just because the source of the huge amount of property is unknown. Moreover, if he gives the pig iron to others for auction, it is inevitable that there will be a current account book or something. ”
Raid the house. It's not that Fan Yancheng doesn't understand such a simple method, I'm afraid that there are two people in the family who are officials in the court, and they have more scruples about handling things.
Jiang Li instructed someone to change the surname Zhang, not because he wanted to collude with him as an official or businessman, but because he just didn't want to have an accident on Mei Xianju's territory. This kind of corrupt official deserves death, as long as he leaves Mei Xianju, Jiang Li can't wait for Fan Yancheng to catch the handle surnamed Zhang.
Fan Yancheng thought about it for a while, Huo Ran got up and said, "You are right. Ah Yuan, let's go now. ”
He also instructed the guards in strong clothes beside him: "You stay here and continue to stare at the person on the stage, and wait for him to leave Mei Xianju before arresting him." ”
Yuan Bi followed Fan Yancheng away, Jiang Li got up and sent a few steps, and Qiu Shuang kept staring at Jiang Li.
The show was over, and Jiang Li turned around and went to the opposite side. She stirred up this auction, which can be regarded as indirectly helping Qiushuang, and it can be regarded as repaying her for helping herself at the foot of Luofeng Slope before. Thinking like this, Jiang Li glanced back at Qiu Shuang with a smile and walked out of Qiu Shuang's sight.
As soon as I walked out of the commercial building, I saw Sixi and Zhao Sanli looking at the door of Tianzi No. 1 room.
Things were going well, and Jiang Li was not in a hurry to ask them why they had been gone for so long. But Xiaoxiang couldn't help but be angry: "I asked you to listen to the news, I've been gone for so long." ”
Zhao San and Sixi were silent, with a worried look.
Jiang Li waited for them to say it themselves, but he didn't say anything. Looking through the window, most of the people in the commercial building opposite had gone, and Qiushuang and his party had left at some point.
Or Zhao Sanxian said: "I found Kena outside Mei Xianju, he brought a lot of people, and it seems that he has been staring at the door for a long time." I was watching outside, and I didn't dare to come in until they were gone. ”
"I saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who shouldn't be here." Sixi glanced at Jiang Li, and said sneeringly: "He also asked where we settled down, saying that he wanted to meet you." I didn't dare to tell him the truth, so I walked around the outside several times before coming back. ”
"Who?" Jiang Li said in surprise.
"Xiao Yu Xiao Gongzi." Four happy answers.
Jiang Li was stunned, "How could he appear here!" ”
"yes, that's why I wondered he shouldn't be here." Sixi muttered.
Why are they all flocking to Xiushan? It was originally a good thing to meet someone in a foreign country, but I was afraid that I would only meet a creditor. She owes Da Yanren a life, and what she owes Xiao Yu can't be counted for a while.
Jiang Li was unable to care for his forehead, so it was important to run away. Hurriedly took the lead and got up: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's hurry back to the inn and leave Xiushan with Jiang Ju and Master early tomorrow morning." ”
Jiang Li didn't know that there was still a danger before leaving Xiushan, which almost killed her.
Shopkeeper Ding sent someone out to see that no one was watching outside, but for the sake of safety, Jiang Li decided not to go out through the gate and take the small kitchen door of Mei Xianju instead. Outside the door, Shopkeeper Ding had already prepared two carriages.
hurriedly quit Ding's shopkeeper and went out, and Zhao San rushed to the empty car. Jiang Li and Xiaoxiang sat in the carriage, listening to Sixi sitting in front of the car to catch the car, and talked about the details of meeting Xiao Yu along the way.
Sixi was sent by Jiang Li to the downstairs of Mei Xianju, and when he walked to the door, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers and did not let him go out. He obediently retreated, but did not enter the commercial building again, but folded into the aisle between the commercial building and the restaurant.
There is a window in the aisle, and Sixi walks to the window to observe the situation outside. Mei Xianju faces the street on one side, and the two floors behind it are facing several large mansions. The mansion and the restaurant are separated by a street, and a road wall has been built on this side of Mei Xianju.
Sixi wanted to see over the wall to see the situation outside, but seeing that there was no one in front of him, he jumped out of the window in the middle of the aisle, and landed on the high wall with ease.
And Zhao San also turned out from here before, Sixi had just landed, and a team of officers and soldiers patrolled along the wall, and he hurriedly walked to the corner next to him.
There are some small shops on the street corner, and there are people in front of the store, but there is Zhao San squatting at the corner, and Zhao San looks like a street gangster who has nothing to do. He came out one step ahead of Sixi and was squatting here observing the officers and soldiers.
When Sixi walked in front of Zhao San, Zhao San whispered: "The leader is the forbidden army, it seems that it is really like what Miss said, it is someone from Beijing." ”
Seeing that Mei Xianju was surrounded by officers and soldiers, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, the back street was not as crowded as the front street, and from time to time there were pedestrians who stopped and stared curiously for a while.
"Mazi Zhang! Oh, yes, but that's right. Zhao San said a sentence thoughtlessly, and quickly pulled Sixi to hide in the shop.
A medium-sized man in cloth hurriedly walked by, followed by a group of people, some Han dressed, and several tall and burly people did not look like Han people although they were wearing Han clothes. The man in cloth walked all the way and said: "I'm tired after staring for so long, let's go rest for a while, you continue to stare!" ”
"Yes." The questions and answers were all in Chinese, and then some people were left in place, and the tall and burly men followed the man in cloth clothes through the front of the shop.
They walked past the front of the shop, and Zhao San and Sixi walked out of the store.
The two of them caught up two steps, watched the man in cloth lead people into the hut at the other end of the corner, and waited for a long time, but the people never came out again.
"See clearly? Is the one in front of us really the Great Yan Man who showed us the way? Sixi asked hurriedly.
It looks very similar, and it sounds like it, but Zhao San is not very sure.
So Zhao San replied: "It should be." ”
"Then I'll catch up and see!" Four joys are not at ease.
Zhao Sanyi grabbed Sixi, "Think about it, if the Dayan people are tracking us, they still have helpers." Maybe they haven't noticed that we're in Meixianju, or maybe they're not here to deal with us at all, maybe they're just passing by. You rashly chased after them and let them know that Miss Jiang was in Meixianju, but it caused trouble. I'll keep an eye on them first, and you go back and report the situation to the ninth girl, and see what she says. ”
Sixi felt that Zhao San was reasonable, so he listened to Zhao San's words, and Zhao San was here to observe, and he looked around again.
I walked around the outside of Mei Xian's residence and found that several large and small gates were guarded by officers and soldiers, and only people were allowed to enter, not out. There were more officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the front street than a few side gates, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the street, and pedestrians passing by the gate, and many people stood on the side of the street and discussed.
Sixi mixed in the crowd, and he didn't watch out for someone shouting: Sixi!
