Chapter 151: Tracking

Youyou was waiting for Zhang Ning to come over and ask him to investigate this matter. Deng Zhicheng obviously has a problem, but his father doesn't know that this person has evil intentions, and it is too dangerous for his father to keep such a person by his side.

Zhang Ning said again: "My father-in-law said that you set up a Buddhist hall in the house, what's the matter?" ”

Yoyo was not surprised at all, and said, "Father told you?" Didn't you meet Deng Zhicheng? No matter what people say, my father didn't believe it, so I had to make up such a reason. ”

It turned out that he met King Zheng and tried every means to find a reason to prevaricate. Zhang Ning said: "You removed the Buddhist hall, he was very worried that you would be wronged and didn't dare to say it, so he had to confide in Guanyin and let me find out who bullied you." ”

Yoyo's eyes widened and said, "Really? "My father pretended to be true, obviously he didn't believe it, but he still looked like he believed it.

"Hmm."

Yoyo opened the door and said to the green pothos who was waiting under the porch: "Remove the Buddha Hall immediately." ”

"Hey." The pothos agreed, turned around and left.

"It's okay now, Father doesn't have to worry." Yoyo pursed his lips and smiled, the Buddha hall has been withdrawn, can my father rest assured?

That's a face-saving thing. Zhang Ning said a few more words and got up to say goodbye.

Youyou sent it to the gate of the courtyard and asked the maidservant to deliver it on his behalf, and saw that King Zheng sent a little eunuch over and said, "Lord Zhang, the prince asks you to go over again." ”

The little eunuch is medium and long, and the chin is short. Zhang Ning followed him to the main hall, and said casually: "What's your name?" ”

"Don't dare to ask Lord Zhang, slave Deng Zhicheng." Deng Zhicheng led the way sideways, and seemed to be very familiar with this area, and he didn't need to identify it when he arrived at the intersection, and he didn't hesitate to go straight or turn.

Will such a person get lost and go to the back door?

Deng Zhicheng felt that Zhang Ning was looking at him, looked over with a smile, and said, "Lord Zhang, please come here." ”

Zhang Ning bowed slightly, and after a while, he came to the main hall and saw King Zheng in the study. Deng Zhicheng did not withdraw, but stood by the wall with his hands down.

King Zheng trusts this man very much. Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently, and saluted: "Father-in-law called his son-in-law over, what's the matter?" ”

"You can do whatever you want, you better not check." King Zheng said with a doting face: "If she likes to worship the Buddha, let her worship it, and it's nothing." ”

Let Jinyiwei's secret agents investigate Youyou, he can't do it, who knows what the secret agents will find out, but don't find out a big thing, which will affect King Zheng's mansion. Just now, King Zheng wanted to go deeper, so he decided to let Yoyo go.

Zhang Ning said: "Father-in-law, the county lord has asked people to withdraw from the Buddhist hall. ”

"Withdrawn?" King Zheng was surprised, didn't he say that he often meditated in the Buddhist hall? Why did you withdraw again?

"Yes, the county lord said, you are in the mansion, and you can see each other every day, and this is enough." Zhang Ning saw that King Zheng looked puzzled, and said, "The girl's thoughts, let's not guess." ”

King Zheng suddenly dared to set up a Buddhist hall to ask for marriage, and when he went to the Buddhist hall last night, he must have made a wish. Thinking of the girl's tender skin, it was not easy to say it too bluntly, so I used the excuse to pray for him. He laughed and said, "No, let's leave her alone." ”

"Haha, no matter." Zhang Ning smiled. You don't care about the best. He noticed that a hint of joy flashed in Deng Zhicheng's eyes on the wall, as if he thought that as long as he withdrew the Buddhist hall and met King Zheng next time, he would have no excuse.

What is this man's purpose?

Zhang Ning remained silent, said goodbye to King Zheng and left King Zheng's mansion, and asked people to check on Deng Zhicheng as soon as he got in the car.

…………

When the sky was about to get dark, the person who poured the swill came, Deng Zhicheng appeared in the back alley at some point, whispered something to the person who poured the swill, and saw that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, and quickly dodged from the back alley to the side door, and entered King Zheng's mansion through the side door.

He thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't think that a thin man would be lying on the roof tiles in the back alley, and the man saw this scene in his eyes, and when the swill cart was carried away, he quietly jumped off the roof tiles like a raccoon cat, landed in the back alley, and followed the swill cart.

The swill truck walked a few alleys and stopped at the door of a small courtyard. The man dressed in short brown stopped the swill cart at the gate of the courtyard, and instead of carrying the swill bucket, he walked up the steps and knocked on the door, knocking three times at intervals of five short and three long.

The courtyard door creaked open, and a man about forty years old with a white face and beard glanced at the man who was carrying swill, and turned sideways to get out of the way.

The man who was carrying the swill looked left and right, saw that there was no one at the door, and stepped in.

The thin man went up to the roof, bent down and looked down, saw that the yard was very small, only three rooms, I don't know which one the two were in, I was trying to find the past one by one, I saw the door of the wing room on the left side opened, the two walked out one after the other, the man who carried the swill walked in front, opened the courtyard door, pulled up the swill cart and left.

The thin man followed him until he stopped the swill cart in front of a pigsty and poured buckets of swill into the pigry. There were more than a dozen pigs in the pigsty, smelling the food and scrambling to eat the swill.

On a hot day, the swill was covered in King Zheng's mansion for a day, and it was already sour and smelly, and the thin man covered his mouth and nose and endured it so that he didn't vomit.

The man who transported the swill poured the swill, pulled the empty car and left.

By this time it was already dark and the curfew began.

The thin man was even more sure that this person was not simple, and if ordinary people dared to walk on the road after curfew, they would go to prison. Who would dare? People who dare to walk on the road with such a swagger and a swill cart must have a waist card of a certain government or a certain yamen.

The man who transported the swill did not meet the sergeant patrolling the city all the way, and the thin man did not know what he was, so he could only hide his whereabouts and follow silently. After walking for half an hour, he came to an alley, and the man who carried the swill walked in and pulled the swill cart into the fourth courtyard.

The thin man silently remembered that there was a big ginkgo tree at the mouth of the alley, and then guarded it not far from the gate of this courtyard. As the night deepened, the swill carriers never came out.

The thin man stayed until dawn, making sure that this was the last place where the swill man would stay, and then quietly left.

…………

"The fourth courtyard of Ginkgo Hutong?" Zhang Ning asked.

"Yes. After the humble investigation, this courtyard was once the private residence of the young eunuch Cao Jixiang, and was later sold to a merchant. The thin man couldn't hide his exhaustion. Anyone who has been following and waiting for half a day and a night will also be tired.

"Go and rest." Zhang Ning said.

The thin man bowed and withdrew.

After Wang Zhen's death, the seats of the eunuch of Bingbi and the prince of Dongchang are still vacant, and Cao Jixiang and Jia Xiaosi have been fighting openly and secretly, slandering each other in front of the emperor, and secretly making stumbling blocks for each other.

Zhang Ning and Jia Xiaosi got close, but Jia Xiaosi never asked for help, so he didn't help him talk to the emperor. Cao Jixiang means that he regards him as an enemy? Zhang Ning thought of the last time he met Cao Jixiang, his lukewarm appearance, and decided to check him.

Cao Jixiang is ambitious but incapable, but he has one thing he is good at: flattering people. He served the emperor very comfortably, if it weren't for Jia Xiaosi, I am afraid that he would have succeeded Wang Zhen and become a power eunuch.
