In the afternoon of the next day, a group of officers and soldiers appeared outside the gate of Zhuangfu in a menacing manner. The leader is a middle-aged prefect, surnamed Liu, a single name "Yan" word, Zheng Gongming is standing on the side, he is addicted to drugs, since then Xiao Jinyu's father Xiao Zhan control, ordered him to pay attention to the movement of Zhuangfu from time to time, that day Fan Lusheng fled to Zhuangfu and happened to be seen by him, but it didn't take long for him to have a drug addiction attack, and he forgot everything completely, and then came to the smoke house after a long time in the clouds, until the evening to remember, but did not tell Xiao Zhan, he went to report to the official, and wanted to take the fifty taels of bounty for reporting the wanted criminals mentioned in the wanted warrant.

"Zhuangfu? It's the mansion of Old General Zhuang," Liu Yan asked rhetorically, "This is also what you casually identified?" ”

Zheng Gongming only promised, "Little... The villain didn't dare to lie, the villain saw it with his own eyes. ”

Liu Yan couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Zhang Ying, his personal attendant: "This-can you go in?" ”

Zhang Ying said in a low voice: "In this situation, after today's worry, tomorrow, everything must be thoughtful, in front of so many people, if you don't enter the search, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it, and the adults will be embarrassed when they arrive, it's better to go in and take a trip, if you catch someone, Zhuang Mansion naturally has no words, if you don't catch it, I'd rather apologize to Master Zhuang afterwards, there is no ready-made person here, and then it will be over by pushing him." ”

Liu Yan nodded silently.

"But the ** boss's mansion is not somewhere else, do you want to talk to the boss, otherwise it will be difficult to do it if the two sides are not pleased!"

"Well..."Liu Yan said, "However, the fastest way to ask for instructions will have to wait until tomorrow, the search for people has such a delay, this is not appropriate, still go in now, just treat each other politely, I heard that Master Zhuang is not out of the door, his body is declining day by day, he is no longer a director, and now he is his son director, he is very easy to deal with." ”

Zhang Yan obeyed the order, and Liu Yan ordered the officers and soldiers, "You are on standby outside the mansion, Zhang Ying, and you, follow me into the mansion." ”

Zheng Gongming didn't expect that this ** had resigned from the government and was already a dying person, but Yu Wei was still there, these officials usually don't take the world in their eyes, but they were afraid of it at this time, which made him tremble.

Zhuang Sheng saw that someone came to report that there was a guest outside the door who asked to see him, so he hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw two people in official uniforms coming towards him, he was afraid that the matter of harboring Fan Lusheng would be exposed, so he was shocked. Yun Yun saw that he was the young master of Zhuangfu, but he didn't know the way of officialdom, he only knew that he was rich but not noble, and he didn't have the slightest bearing and majesty in the face of these lower officials, so he pulled him again and whispered: "You have the bearing of a little young master, okay!" ”

Zhuang Sheng paused for a moment and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"You're the son of an old general, right? Sure enough, his spirit is flying, his bearing is extraordinary, and he has the demeanor of a general! ”

Zhuang Sheng smiled dryly and said, "Yes." Thinking that Yun Yun said that he had no bearing, this person came up and praised him, which shows that he is hypocritical.

"Xiaguan Liu Yan." Liu Yan wanted to be short-tempered and very majestic, if he rashly said that he wanted to hunt down the assassins, he would definitely not be pleased, so he might as well try to tempt first, if he was still on the council, the matter of the search would be over, if he had no council, he would just search for it, so he said, "I have something to ask to see General Zhuang." ”

"Please come and speak, please." Zhuang Sheng took a few people to the living room to sit down, and asked someone to make tea, Fang said, "My father's body is declining, he doesn't ask about the world, and he doesn't see guests." ”

"It's... Old General Zhuang has been fighting and killing for several years, but I didn't expect this..."Liu Yan frowned and said, "In this case, please ask Young Master Zhuang to greet the old general for me, and take care of your health." ”

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your concern, I'll bring the words." Zhuang Sheng said, "You can tell me something." ”

Liu Yan hesitated, and said for a long time: "I came today, mainly for one thing, now traitors are rampant, and there are many incidents, Lord Cai Ning Cai was killed, and Lord Liu Shouyun was assassinated......

Zhuang Sheng listened in amazement.

"The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, especially worried about the safety of the ministers, and today I received a report that there are rebels absconding to your mansion, and the lower officials are especially worried about the safety of the old general and young master in your mansion, so I came to take a look."

"Who reported it?"

"Him." Liu Yan glanced at Zheng Gongming.

Zhuang Sheng looked at it, only to see a clue, and suddenly recognized that this person turned out to be Zheng Gongming, he only had a dry bone left, no one is a ghost, not a ghost, and ten years older than Zheng Gongming who he saw more than a month ago. Zhuang Sheng couldn't believe it, he witnessed this person step by step from a young man to today's point, but in three or four years, with a flick of his fingers, he completely destroyed himself, from body to soul, the huge shock made him fall into reverie, Yun Yun saw that his eyes were dull, his expression was silent, so he pushed a few times, Zhuang Sheng was suddenly relieved, and only remembered what was in front of him after thinking for a while.

In the face of this Zheng Gongming, Yun Yun was so angry that she couldn't help herself, it was simply too inhumane! also gave him dozens of taels of silver in vain, he was not grateful, but he would take revenge!

"Lord Liu doesn't look at his appearance," Zhuang Sheng said, "he smokes opium to the point of being in a trance, how can he believe his words?" ”

Liu Yan looked at Zheng Gongming deeply, he didn't know how to answer, he didn't expect this Zheng Gongming to report the Zhuang Mansion, and he brought the team with him, only to find that he led himself to the door of the Zhuang Mansion.

"Fame," Zhuang Sheng looked at him and asked, "Are you out of money again, if I give you a hundred taels, will you still report it?" ”

Zheng Gongming suddenly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes lit up.

"You...... If you really give it to me—"

"Bold mustard!" Liu Yan scolded, "You dare to provide a false report!" I don't see whose mansion this is! ”

"I didn't—I—" Zheng Gongming clearly saw an assassin enter Zhuang's mansion, but now he was stunned when faced with Zhuang Sheng's one hundred taels and this charge.

"Lord Liu," Zhuang Sheng said, "you don't have to ask him about his guilt, I know him, he just wants money." ”

Liu Yan just wanted not to offend the Zhuang Mansion, and when he saw Zhuang Sheng say this, he didn't say anything.

"Fame, poor money, just look for me, why take such a risk."

Zheng Gongming is silent, opium has ruined him completely, and he only has money in his eyes.

"In that case, then we'll pull it off." Liu Yan apologized, "I hope you will forgive me for disturbing your mansion." ”

Zhuang Sheng smiled and shook his head.
