"Your Highness, we have arrested the steward of the Peng family, who is very similar to Master Zhang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qingfan replied.
"Oh?"
Zhou Tingyu put down the sleek little wheel in his hand and asked anxiously, "Where are the people?" ā
"He has been brought back to the prison and kept in a cell alone, and he has also been checked for no poison in his teeth, and he has been sent to keep an eye on him, and he will not be allowed to kill himself."
"Well, that's good, did the steward and head of the guard of the Zhao family identify this person?" Zhou Tingyu asked again.
"Go, both of them said that they were very similar to the old man they had seen, but there was no black mole on his face, and the steward also said that this person spoke with a Wu accent, which was not like the voice of Master Zhang he heard before, but the accent was almost the same, as long as he changed into rich clothes, plus a little black mole, he would be a living old man Zhang."
Zhou Tingyu sneered, "The voice can be changed by taking pills, and it is also simple to add a black mole, it seems that the steward of the Peng family is undoubtedly Master Zhang." ā
"Your Highness, five days after we took the Peng family steward away, there was movement in the Peng family.
The eldest son of the Peng family wanted to take a caravan to the merchant to buy goods, and the second son went to his grandmother's house to visit his grandmother who was unwell. ā
Zhou Tingyu sneered, "The reaction is fast, so did you follow behind these two sons?" ā
"Followed, I have been watching according to your orders, and without your orders, no one has done anything."
Zhou Tingyu nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you can't let them use the golden cicada's shelling method, let people keep an eye on it, you must not let them get away, but you can't startle the snake, wait until I interrogate the Peng family steward, and then talk about the follow-up." ā
"Let's go, we'll go and meet this Peng steward now."
"Who the hell are you? You are captives of good people, you are transgressors of the law, you are robbers, let me go quickly. ā
Peng Muyi struggled, but the two tiger soldiers who pressed him turned a deaf ear, and it was not the first time he scolded like this along the way, but unfortunately these people were like wooden people, without heart and lungs, there were no mood swings at all, no matter how hard he scolded, he was indifferent.
Those who wanted to escape on the road, but could not find a chance, walked on the wild road all the time, until yesterday they stuffed him into the carriage, tied him up, gagged him, blindfolded, and could not make a sound at all.
But he listened to the movement outside and knew that he had entered the city, and what made him feel inexplicably flustered was that he also heard the official words of the Beijing dialect.
With such an accent everywhere in his ears, he had to suspect that he had arrived in Shangjing.
He had been to the capital, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he had to strictly check the entry and exit of the city gate, but his carriage had no official messenger to search at all, and he didn't even feel a pause, as if the carriage had entered the city directly from outside the city.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was already sitting a... In a prison cell?
This made him panic in his heart, and he slapped the cell desperately, pleading to no avail, and insulting words did not provoke anyone, and finally his mouth was dry and he had to stop.
I don't know how long it took in the dark cell, my stomach was already "gurgling", and finally someone came to open the cell.
Before he could be pleased, the men pressed him down the passage, shouting and cursing, still without a response as before.
Soon there was a bright light ahead, and at the same time a playful voice came.
"Robbers? Kidnapping good people? In this prison, do you think you are still a good citizen? ā
Getting closer and closer, Peng Muyi finally saw clearly who the person who said this sentence was.
A young and handsome young man sitting on a chair, although he smiled, his iron-blooded momentum could not be ignored.
After seeing this young man, the people who pressed him all bowed respectfully to this young man.
Peng Muyi's pupils shrank, this is a military salute!
Could it be that these people are sergeants?
If it's a sergeant, who is the young man in front of him? Why did you arrest him here?
"Bang"
Peng Muyi was pressed to his knees, he raised his head and looked at the young man indignantly, "Who are you?" I'm a law-abiding commoner, and I haven't even killed a chicken, are you mistaken? ā
Zhou Tingyu smiled lightly, and the curvature outlined at the corner of his mouth looked sarcastic, "Your name is Peng Muyi, and you are the steward of the Peng family in Huainan Province and Hezhou?" ā
Peng Muyi straightened his chest and looked at Zhou Tingyu, "Yes, I am the steward of the Peng family, my Peng family is a good family, building bridges and paving roads, giving porridge and rice, and relieving the poor people, these good deeds are often done, if you catch the wrong person, as long as you let me go, I have a lot of adults, and I will not hold you accountable for being confused for a while." ā
Zhou Tingyu repeated his words, "Building bridges and paving roads, giving porridge and rice, and relieving the poor people, so it is indeed a good family." ā
Peng Muyi nodded with honor, "That's right, in Hezhou, which common people don't give a thumbs up when they mention our Peng family?" ā
"I think it's true that this kind of accumulation of kindness is actually to eliminate one's own sins, right?"
Ignoring Peng Muyi's angry glare, Zhou Tingyu continued to talk idly, big, "I'm from Anzhou, and I often go to the border city to buy skins, because my concubine and steward cheated in the courtyard of the border city, so in a fit of anger, I sold the courtyard to the Zhao family in Fengcheng, and said to the outside world that in order not to touch the scene, I didn't even go to the border city, do you think I'm right, Master Zhang?" ā
Peng Muyi's face changed greatly, he looked at Zhou Tingyu blankly, pointed at him, his lips squirmed, but he didn't say anything, just made a "hehe" sound in his throat.
"I know that you have a mansion in Anzhou, that you are the steward of the Peng family, that you have changed your name to become a merchant of Master Zhang, that there is a secret passage leading to the spruce forest outside the city in the border city annex you built in the name of a concubine, that you have sent a batch of grain to the Zhao family, and that this batch of grain of you is sent to the Turks......
Zhou Tingyu said so much in one breath, grinning at him with bared teeth.
"And these are all confessed by the master of the Zhao family in Fengcheng."
Peng Muyi's face was pale without a trace of blood, his scalp was numb, and a chill enveloped his heart, so cold that his whole body was extremely cold, as if he was soaked in ice water in the middle of winter.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you who I am, haven't you always wanted to know? Those who captured you were the Tiger Ben army that annihilated the Turks in one fell swoop, and I am the king of Chu personally appointed by His Majesty. ā
Peng Muyi was completely paralyzed on the ground, looking at Zhou Tingyu's smile, as if he saw Lord Yan waving to him.
