Chapter 020: Give the Fish to the Cat

"Oh, Lord Zhao, rare guest, rare guest."

The Peng family opened the door of the mansion, and Peng Wanli didn't seem to see the murderous two hundred soaps at all, and greeted him in surprise: "Ah! Feng Jianxiao is also here, why are you two here, this hot day, hurry up, please get off the horse, please go to the village to sit down. ”

The Peng family's business is all over black and white, and the care of the yamen is indispensable, so the Peng family, such as judges, pushers, inspectors, and head hunters, must often take care of them, so Peng Wanli and Zhao Tuiguan and Feng Jianxiao are very familiar, and the two adults usually talk and laugh when they see him, but at this time, they have a cold face on business, which is a little scary, and Peng Wanli can't help but beat the drum in his heart.

Fortunately, his tentative words still worked, Zhao Ximo snorted coldly, picked up his robe and dismounted, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way in front of your head, and talk inside." ”

When Peng Wanli heard this, his heart suddenly returned to his stomach, it seems that it was not the fatal event, otherwise Lord Zhao Tuiguan would have ordered someone to take the village and copy the village, how could he kill himself and go in and gossip with him about Raushzi.

With peace in his heart, Peng Wanli couldn't help but secretly resent: "Every year, Lao Tzu treats you as the king of Ming, there is no shortage of three animals and six fruits, and you are courteous during the New Year's holidays. ”

Peng Wanli was slandered, but he didn't dare to be a little disrespectful on his face, he secretly gestured, signaling the family in the house to withdraw their guard, and personally led the two adults into the house, and the patrol fast men entered the courtyard, waiting under the shade of the willows, Zhao Tuiguan and Feng Jianxiao held their heads high, pressed the knife and went straight in, and sat proudly in the hall, as if they were the masters here.

Peng Wanli offered fragrant tea and asked cautiously: "My lord is on business today, I don't know why I came?" ”

Zhao Tuiguan's face sank like water, and he sneered and said: "Peng Wanli, your family's business is not small, car dealership, boat dealership, mule and horse shop, tooth shop, inn, martial arts hall, ......, Shandong Hebei, Henan Jianghuai, Peng's banner is very loud." ”

Peng Wanli said with a smile: "This is all taken care of by all the adults, and my Peng family is also diligent, and business is booming." ”

"Red fire? Then the official will add another fire to you! Zhao Tuiguan said, "Bang!" As soon as the ground slapped the table, the teacups and trays jumped up: "Peng Wanli, your disaster has happened." ”

Peng Wanli was taken aback, took two steps back, and said in a lost voice: "Lord Tuiguan, where do you start with this?" ”

"Where to start?" Zhao Tuiguan jumped up and pointed his finger on his nose: "Qingzhou gentry Yang Xu Yang Gongzi was entered into the mansion in broad daylight, do you know?" ”

"Xiao Min knows a little about this, but this matter is ...... Xiao Min"

Zhao Tuiguan sneered: "The news is really well-informed!" Your Peng family is in the business of car and boat shops, and there are contacts between black and white, do you dare to say that everything is in order? However, I have always been well-behaved in your Peng family, repairing bridges and roads, donating to students to help the disabled, never falling behind, and restraining my subordinates rarely cause trouble at the door of the house, Lord Futai and the judge take care of it, and the official takes care of you, and occasionally does not pursue minor mistakes......"

Peng Wanli hurriedly said: "Yes, the adults care for the Peng family, and my Peng family has always been grateful to me." ”

Zhao Tuiguan's face sank, and he shouted: "You give me a foot, I respect you, and it is the truth to exchange courtesies." Now that Yang Gongzi has been assassinated, the gentry in Qingzhou are in turmoil, and they are all frightened, do you still want to be polite to you? ”

Peng Wanli shouted: "Lord Tuiguan, the assassination of Yang Gongzi has nothing to do with my Peng family, this matter is ......"

"How can it be irrelevant to you!" Zhao Tuiguan's voice was louder than him, and he roared: "Qingzhou's city fox society rats, splashy scoundrels, only your Peng family is the first to look forward, isn't this true?" The car and boat shop, your Peng family has all the teeth, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who come from the south and go to the north, can there be any eyeliner who can escape your Peng family? Even if Yang Gongzi's assassination was not committed by your Peng family, it must have been connived at and helped by you, you are not the mastermind, but also an accomplice! ”

"My lord, catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and take the dirty, the ...... without evidence"

"You want proof, don't you?" Zhao Tuiguan's voice was fierce: "This official is here to find evidence!" The official suspects that you are harboring the murderer and participating in the murder of the gentry of the city, and wants to search your estate. Also, your Peng family's car dealership, boat dealership, mule and horse shop, inn, martial arts hall, fish and dragons are mixed, good and bad, there are major suspicions, from now on all must stop operating, this official must investigate one by one, until the murderer is found! ”

The assassination of the Peng family and Yang Wenxuan may have nothing to do with it, but if the Peng family's minions, guests, and friends are investigated one by one, there must be a lot of people who have a criminal record, and there must be a lot of people, so Zhao Tuiguan has no fear and is not afraid of making a big deal at all.

"What?" Peng Wanli's face turned gray when he heard this: "Lord Tuiguan, the name of Yang Xu Gongzi, Xiaomin has only heard of it, Yang Gongzi is a scholarly family, and my Peng family is a reckless family, the two families are not related to each other at all, and there has never been any contact, when it comes to business, there is no conflict between our two families, where is the grievance, how can my Peng family be suspicious?" Isn't this a man sitting at home, and woe comes from heaven? ”

Zhao Tuiguan said aggressively: "Are you accusing this official of abusing the law of the country and harming the innocent?" ”

Peng Wanli swallowed his anger and said: "Xiaomin doesn't dare, it's just ......"

Feng Jianxiao smiled, and said from the side: "Brother Peng, let me tell you the truth, this case is really extraordinary, even the prefect and the same magistrate and several adults in the state judgment feel a little unbearable, and the magistrate wants to strictly investigate this case, and several adults are supportive." In fact, Lord Tuiguan does not suspect that your Peng family is an accomplice to the murderer, but your Peng family operates all kinds of businesses, and there are three religions and nine streams coming and going, do you dare to guarantee that there are no criminals hiding in it? ”

Peng Wanli said with a bitter face: "My lord, this is difficult for strong people, my Peng family's business is very extensive, and there are not thousands of guests and men who come and go, how can they all know the roots......

"That's it, I also understand, your second master Peng is a person from all over the world and has a wide range of contacts, even if the murderer is really found out under your Peng family's industry, it may not be your person, that being said, if you don't want to be a fish in the pond that suffers, who will prove your innocence? The Lord of Futai will arrest the murderer within a time limit, it is difficult for the magistrate, if you want to let the magistrate raise his noble hand, you have to let the magistrate get by, right? ”

Peng Wanli heard what he said, and hurriedly said: "This is easy to say, if the magistrate has any instructions, Xiaomin should do his best, but I don't know what the adults need our Peng family to do?" ”

Zhao Tuiguan didn't speak, just snorted, sat back on the chair, cocked Erlang's legs, and drank tea slowly.

Feng Jianxiao smiled slightly, climbed Peng Wanli's arm, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "This is the first, your Peng family runs all kinds of businesses in the car and boat shop, and controls the city fox and the rat in Qingzhou, and no one can match the eyes and ears, if you want to clear the suspicion, you should mobilize the power at your disposal and bring the government to investigate and arrest those with suspicious deeds." ”

Peng Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "This is easy, Xiaomin is willing to serve the adults and horses." ”

Feng Jianxiao said: "Another thing is more important. It's not a big problem if the murderer can't be caught for a while, the important thing is that Yang Xu can't be assassinated again, if he is still killed by the assassin after he reports to the official, how can you explain to the elders of the city? But Yang Xu can't hide at home all day, if he wants to go out, since ancient times, there has been no reason for the government to send arrests and patrols to protect the people all day long, not to mention whether he has this qualification, just this move, it also shows the incompetence of the government. ”

Peng Wanli said: "This is also easy, my Peng family has a martial arts gym, isn't it enough to transfer some people to protect him?" ”

Feng Jianxiao laughed and said, "Why doesn't Second Master Peng understand? That Yang Gongzi is not only a student of the government, but also a local gentry, with many friends, and the occasion of ushering in the send-off and banquet is indispensable. Every time he looks like this, he just slaps the adults in the face, and the adults will lose face. Moreover, if you want to talk about kung fu, your Peng family's Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is not passed on to disciples with foreign surnames, and those disciples in the martial arts hall are learning what kind of fists and embroidered legs, and they can hide it from ordinary people, but they can't hide it from me Feng, what can they do? ”

Peng Wanli was puzzled and said: "Then ......, what the adult means is ......"

Feng Jianxiao said: "Your Peng family can crisscross black and white, and train those city fox society rats and spoily gangsters to obey and obey, although the Peng family is rich and powerful, but it is also inseparable from your Peng family's domineering Five Tigers Broken Door Knife." As far as this official knows, the murderer is very good at his art, and ordinary guards cannot guarantee the safety of Yang Gongzi, and at the same time, in order to reduce the impact, the number of guards should not be too much. So...... If your Peng family is willing to send a child who has obtained a family tradition to protect Yang Xu, I believe that the Lord of Futai, the judge, and the magistrate will all accept your Peng family's affection, do you think, will anyone embarrass your Peng family? ”

Peng Wanli said in the period: "The inspector is ...... and wants me to ...... Peng family Send his nephew to be Yang Xu's entourage to keep him safe? This...... How can it! ”

"Can't?" Zhao Tuiguan put the teacup down, Huo Ran stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Come on, copy my house, first copy Pengjiazhuang, and then seal all the properties of the Peng family!" ”

Feng Jianxiao said with a smile: "Second Master Peng, this is to share the worries of the prefect and the magistrate, you will think about it again?" ”

"What? Do you want my Peng family to protect that kid surnamed Yang? ”

Peng Taigong listened to his grandson's report and asked in surprise, Peng Wanli said with a smile: "Yes, my grandson also felt incredible when he heard it, it seems that Zhao Tuiguan was really forced by the assassin, otherwise he would not have come up with such a solution, Taigong, do you think we will agree?" ”

Mrs. Peng's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and a pair of iron galls in his hands turned for a long time, and he sighed and said, "That's it, then send some people." ”

Peng Wanli smiled bitterly: "However, Zhao Tuiguan said that the assassin is extremely good at art, in order to ensure Yang Xu's safety, my Peng family must send a disciple, and now the eldest brother and our Peng family's children and nephews are all active in Huaixi, who else can get the true inheritance of my Peng family?" The old and the young, I can't say it, so I have to go with my grandson. ”

Mrs. Peng frowned and said, "Then how can it be done, you are in charge of a huge industry, and you go away, do you want my old man to take care of the housework?" Besides, how many people in Qingzhou City don't know you? The second master of the Peng family pretended to be a slave and saddled up to protect the kid surnamed Yang, wouldn't it lose the face of my Peng family if he spread it? ”

Peng Wanli said: "Can ...... I'm afraid that the people sent there won't be able to help, and I will miss the life of that bastard Yang Xu, and I really forced those dog officials to be anxious, so it's hard to say that they won't pull us into the water. Sun Er has seen the skills of that Zhao Tuiguan, this person is very good at kung fu, if he wants to send some ordinary disciples to deal with the scene, he can't hide his eyes. ”

Peng Taigong's brows furrowed again, and the grandfather and grandson were relatively speechless. After a while, Peng Wanli's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Taigong, look...... How about letting Ziqi go? ”

Peng Taigong was stunned and said, "Ziqi? Nonsense, she is a big girl's house, but Yang Wenxu is a famous womanizer, isn't this giving the fish to the cat to watch? ”

Peng Wanli smiled: "Fish? Then he has to be able to eat, Yang Xu, that playboy, how can he make our family Ziqi? ”

Mrs. Peng shook his head and said: "That's not appropriate, let a girl's family show up and accompany that notorious gentleman, don't you want your reputation?" How will she marry in the future? ”

Peng Wanli said: "Taigong, it's okay to let Ziqi Yi Hai and Mu pretend to be her brother, this pair of twin brothers and sisters are cool and have no problem." Besides, this kid's martial arts are too true to you, and the girl's family is as careful as a hair, so if she protects that son, she will definitely be able to succeed. ”

Mrs. Peng thought about it again, and said with a slight bow: "Well, in that case, ......, go, call me that girl from Ziqi!" ”

Steward Xiao is very quick to do things, Xia Xun has just drawn up three key investigation objects, and Steward Xiao has already brought back four heads from the Peng Family Martial Arts Hall in one go. The four martial artists were burly, powerful, and extraordinary, and as soon as they were brought to the mansion, Steward Xiao immediately went to invite the prince and asked him to come and see them in person.

When Xia Xun heard the news, he hurriedly took Xiao Di to the living room, and as soon as he entered the living room, Xia Xun suddenly felt like the house was full of muscles. These four strong men, all of whom are super muscular men of Governor Arnold, are in hot weather, and the four of them are wearing slanted arms and foreheads, and as soon as they sit in the living room, a wave of masculinity fills the entire space.

Steward Xiao introduced with a smile on his face: "Four masters, this is my young master. Young master, these four are the masters I invited from the Peng Family Martial Arts Pavilion, you can take a look, if you think it is suitable, then stay. ”

As soon as the four sect leaders saw that their employers were coming, they also stood up, clasped their fists together, and said in a loud voice: "I've seen Yang Gongzi." ”

Xiao Di bit the donkey's jerky and stood aside, looking at them with a pair of big black eyes, and secretly making a comparison in his heart, he always felt that his young master's muscles were more chewy...... Well, it's interesting.

Xia Xun smiled and said, "The four masters don't need to be polite, sit, sit, please sit." Saying that, he sat down on the main seat, and said with a smile: "My housekeeper must have told you the conditions, if you have to be hired, you don't have to worry about the bride price, it must be very generous." However, this son's invitation to you is not comparable to the ordinary caretaker, so I would like to take the liberty of asking, what skills will the four masters have. ”

At this time, Zhao Tuiguan returned to the yamen with a large group of people and horses, and after Feng Jianxiao changed into civilian clothes, he took a white-robed young man with red lips and white teeth, handsome eyebrows and eyes out of the palace, and the two of them rode their horses and went straight to Yang's mansion......
