Chapter 36: The Secret Letter is Lost

Thinking of this, cold sweat soaked out of Huang Degong's forehead.

He turned to the desk drawer to look for the letter.

But when I searched through the drawers, I couldn't find any trace of the letter.

Huang Degong still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, and he went crazy to rummage through the entire study, but found nothing.

"Someone." Huang Degong roared.

A man who looked like an errand man came in and answered, "What do you command?" ”

"Immediately send someone to arrest Sun Mingzhen, recover all the belongings on him, and not dismantle them privately. If you resist, kill them on the spot. Huang Degong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he did not lose his calm, "Don't use the yamen to catch fast, let alone let Li Zhutou know, you bring a few henchmen to do this, don't make it public." ”

"Yes."

……。

Wu Zheng walked out of the gate of the Chen Mansion.

Erhan asked, "Young Master, don't you go to Huang Boyan's house?" ”

Wu Zheng's face was gloomy, he shook his head and said: "Huang Boyan can't run, what I'm worried about is that if what Chen Bingshen said is true, the consequences will be serious." ”

"It can't be that Chen Bingshen is deliberately alarmist in order to survive, right?"

"I don't think so. If I find out that he is lying to me, the Chen family will have to pay an even greater price. If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, Chen Bingshen is not stupid. ”

"Then let's go back to Huiji to report Huang Degong?"

Wu Zheng patted Erhan's head and said angrily: "What about the evidence?" Tell Lu Jianguo that this is what we have heard, and it is a matter of the official. ”

Erhan smirked and touched the back of his head.

Wu Zheng was awakened by what he said, maybe he should go and talk to Zhang Huangyan about this, he is a speech official, maybe it can really work.

It's just that after all, it's empty words, and before he took office, he went to accuse a current parent official, which is okay if it's true, but if it's wrong, it will end in an unforgettable end.

"I don't have the heart to pay attention to anything else now, you go and pick up Chen Sheng and go back to Wuzhuang first."

"Yes. But young master, what are you waiting for by the seaside? ”

Wu Zheng then remembered that he still had something to do today.

Look at the sky, it's noon.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then you will go with me to the county government to pick up Chen Sheng first." In addition, send someone back to Wuzhuang to spread the word, and ask Xiao Anzi to come to Shining Street to recruit craftsmen who can build houses, the more the merrier, and then ask him to bring people to meet us. ”

"Yes."

……。

As soon as Wu Zheng and his entourage entered Shining Street, two or three miles away from the Yamen, they met Chen Sheng head-on.

"Your Excellency, are you here?"

"How's it going?"

"The county order didn't shirk it, the land deed was in hand, and the grain was already arranging for transshipment, but it must not be shipped today, so the subordinates promised to send them to Wuzhuang within three days." As he spoke, Chen Sheng handed Wu Zheng a stack of contracts.

"Yes." Wu Zheng took it, turned a few pages roughly, and thought that there would be no mistake, so he took it into his arms.

"Xiao Anzi will come for a while, take advantage of this time, Erhan, you and Chen Sheng will take these people to the street to shout, and promise to recruit some craftsmen with double wages."

"Yes."

Er Han and Chen Sheng each led a team, one to the south and the other to the north, without walking a few steps.

Suddenly, a man rushed over from the direction of the yamen.

Behind him, several men dressed as servants were chasing.

Behind the errand officer, there are a few catchers who are also chasing, and the leader Wu Zheng has just seen it in Chen's Mansion, and he is as strong as the sea.

Maybe it's the thief. Wu Zheng slowly flashed aside, such trivial matters were not within his power.

But Wu Zheng couldn't avoid it, and when the middle-aged man who ran away passed by Wu Zheng, he suddenly turned, "pounced" and knelt in front of Wu Zheng, hugged Wu Zheng's legs and said, "This adult, help!" ”

Wu Zheng was a little annoyed, he avoided things, but things came at him.

glanced at the middle-aged man with disgust, and the man's three-inch goatee under his chin added to Wu Zheng's disgust.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, the villain didn't do anything?"

"No crime, catch you quickly?"

"My lord, the villain is the staff of the Huang County Order."

As soon as these words fell, those soap servants had already arrived in front of Wu Zheng.

"Dare to ask your lordship?"

Wu Zheng replied angrily: "My name is Wu Zheng, what's the matter?" ”

The leading officer glanced at Wu Zheng and said, "This person stole the private belongings of the Huang County Order and absconded, and the little one and others were ordered to arrest him." I hope it will be convenient for you. ”

Wu Zheng looked down at the middle-aged man and asked, "What they said is true?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Wu Zheng shook his leg, pulled out a foot, and scolded: "Since you stole it, you have to be punished, get out." ”

The leading officer arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord for your body." ”

Turning his head, he said, "Why don't you bring him back to the yamen?" ”

Several officers stepped forward and dragged the middle-aged man.

But the middle-aged man hugged Wu Zheng's leg vigorously, and the scene was frozen for a while.

Li Ruhai came with someone, he happened to be at the gate of the yamen, and saw Master Sun being chased by the servants of the internal ya.

Out of curiosity, I brought a few catchers to catch up.

In front of Wu Zheng, Li Ruhai just arched his hand, and didn't even say hello, even if he had seen the courtesy.

He looked down at Sun Mingzhen and said, "Master Sun, what are you doing here?" Why did the internal officials chase you, but what happened? ”

Sun Mingzhen didn't answer Li Ruhai, but just hugged Wu Zheng's one foot vigorously.

The leading officer said: "Catch the head, you don't have to worry about this, Sun Mingzhen stole the private belongings in the county order's study, and the county ordered me to wait for Sun Mingzhen to go back." ”

Li Ruhai looked at Sun Mingzhen, and then at the leading officer, stopped talking, and led people to retreat to the side.

The leading officer scolded at the officers: "I haven't eaten at noon, and you still don't pull people away?" ”

So several messengers rushed up and pulled Sun Mingzhen up.

Sun Mingzhen saw that he couldn't escape, and shouted at Wu Zheng: "Help, the villain didn't steal property, he just took a letter." ”

Wu Zheng was muttering in his heart at this time, Huang Degong's master stole Huang Degong's private belongings in his study, which reminded him of Chen Bingshen's accusation against Huang Degong.

It's just that the person in front of him is Huang Degong's staff after all, Wu Zheng can't trust him, and Wu Zheng has a bad first impression of Sun Mingzhen's hateful face with a three-inch goat's beard and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, so he didn't ask.

But now, when Wu Zheng heard Sun Mingzhen say a letter, his heart was shocked.

"Wait." Wu Zheng shouted.

Hearing Wu Zheng's voice and knowing that Wu Zheng was going to take care of this matter, Er Han and Chen Sheng walked back from south to north.

The leader's face changed greatly, but he still politely bowed his hand and said, "My lord, this is a private matter of my family, and I hope you can make it convenient and don't interfere." ”

Wu Zheng replied: "What's the hurry? The official just has something to ask him? ”

The leading officer said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is embarrassing. ”

Wu Zheng replied angrily: "You are a district and county officer, and the official will embarrass you, what are you still doing?" Get lost! ”
