Chapter 625: A Last Resort
It was no one else who stopped in front of Lan Ziyi, it was Du Jing. Lan Ziyi saw Du Jing blocking the way, and muttered in his heart, is this person coming over now, is it a blessing or a curse?
Lan Ziyi, who was halfway through the horse, got off the horse and hugged his fist at Du Jing:
"What's the matter with Du Zhutou?"
Du Jing stood in front of Lan Ziyima with a waist knife in his hand, and the hem of his shirt was tucked into his waist, looking very capable. Hearing Lan Ziyi's question, Du Jing grabbed the knife with both hands and hugged his fists and said:
"It's nothing, it's just that I saw that Wei Hou was in a hurry, and he seemed to have something urgent to do, so I asked Wei Hou to chat a few words."
Lan Ziyi was amused by Du Jing's words, and he said:
"Du Zhutou knows that I have something to leave, and he still wants to talk to me, how can he talk like this? If you want to take me, please say it directly. ”
Du Jing smiled:
"If I come to get Wei Hou today, I won't come alone, I'm just here to chat with Wei Hou on the way, don't ask me for it."
Du Jing's words are true, he is alone on the street. Tao Zhulu also leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and said:
"Young master, the surname Du didn't lie, he came alone."
Lan Ziyi nodded to Tao Zhulu to show that he knew, and then he asked Du Jingdao:
"What does Master Du want to talk about?"
To King Road:
"Of course, it's to continue to talk about things that we didn't finish talking about yesterday."
Lan Ziyi stared at Du Jing and narrowed his eyes slightly, and he instructed the Tao family brothers next to him and Yueshan:
"The two elder brothers and Yue'er took the first step, bought some cooked noodles, and ate them on our way later."
Peach Zhulu and Peach Zhutu knew that Lan Ziyi had something to talk to Du Jing alone, so they took the order first, but Yueshan was not so easy to deal with, she said to Lan Ziyi:
"Dad asked me to follow Wei Hou to protect Wei Hou's safety, Wei Hou let me go first, what if you encounter a gangster?"
As she spoke, Yue'er turned her head to look at Du Jing.
Seeing this, Du Jing smiled and said:
"This girl, I am in charge of the security in the capital, I will only arrest the villains, and I will not do evil."
Lan Ziyi knew that Yue'er wanted to listen to the conversation between him and Du Jing, and it was impossible for him Lan Ziyi to open the Yueshan at will like Father-in-law Yu, so he could only sigh, led the horse forward and walked to Du Jing, acquiescing to Yue'er to follow aside. Lan Ziyi asked Du Jingdao:
"What did I have to do yesterday that I haven't finished talking to Master Du? Could it be the matter of the captain? ”
Du Jing followed Lan Ziyi, and he smiled:
"Taiwei's matter is only half a thing, and I have a whole other thing to find Wei Hou."
Lan Ziyi said:
"You still want to tell me about reselling military rations?"
To King Road:
"I'm not telling you about it, I'm trying to urge you to do it. Now Taicang has opened warehouses without restrictions, grain prices in various places have gradually fallen, and the grain that was not sold in the hands of grain merchants in the early stage is now unable to be stored. I got the news yesterday that those grain merchants want to dispose of the backlog of military rations in their hands as soon as possible, and if they are not brought to justice, then we will have no evidence to arrest them. ”
When Du Jing mentioned this, he always unconsciously brought out the enthusiasm in his heart, and now this enthusiasm is burning next to Lan Ziyi, and he is very irritable. Lan Ziyi felt irritable not only because the enthusiasm in his heart had been extinguished, but also because he had just been reprimanded by Father-in-law Yu yesterday because of this time, Father-in-law Yu told him not to continue to investigate the matter, and now that Du Jing re-mentioned the case, Lan Ziyi couldn't interfere.
So when Du Jing finished speaking, Lan Ziyi said impatiently:
"Master Du wants to check himself, so why nag me?"
Lan Ziyi's attitude towards the case changed overnight, which can be described as ruthless, but Du Jing was not surprised by Lan Ziyi's change, he seemed to have expected it to be so. Du Jing said to Lan Ziyi:
"If I could find out, I wouldn't be looking for you."
Lan Ziyi said:
"If you can't check it, can I check it? This case is very wide-ranging, and it will not be beneficial for everyone to continue to investigate. I don't think Master Du should worry about it, let's go to another case to investigate. ”
To King Road:
"Wei Hou, don't forget, it was you who revealed this news to me and asked me to investigate this case!"
Lan Ziyi said:
"I don't want to investigate, so I'll reveal it to you. If you don't want to check it now, then we won't check it again. Let's stop there. ”
Du Jing took a deep breath when he heard this, and he said:
"Okay, stop here. Since Wei Hou asked me not to stop, then I will stop, but I don't know what Wei Hou plans to do with the case on the green river? Do you want to stop? ”
Lan Ziyi and Du Jing said a word, I quarreled a lot, and Yueshan was watching quietly. Yueshanma didn't know what Lan Ziyi and Du Jing were talking about, whether it was the matter of military rations or the trafficking of people on the Green River, Yueshanma didn't know. But Yue'er is smart and clever, even if she didn't get a clue before, and now she hears a few words, she can keenly perceive that what the two are talking about at the moment is an important matter, although Yue'er didn't ask questions, but her two big eyes that kept fluttering unabashedly revealed her curiosity.
Lan Ziyi was stared at by Yueshan in a panic, if Du Jing didn't shut up and provoked Yue'er to get to the bottom of it, then Lan Ziyi would not be able to end it.
Although Lan Ziyi was anxious, he still had a calm look on his face, and he sighed and said after waiting for Du Jing to finish:
"Lord Du, you are so jealous and hateful, but you can't bring it with you in the capital for a long time."
To King Road:
"I've stayed in the capital much longer than Wei Hou you."
Lan Ziyi sighed again and said helplessly:
"Well, then, since this matter is because of me, let him end because of me. What evidence do I need to take? ”
To King Road:
"There are three evidences, one is the accounts of the grain merchants, the second is the list of the warehouse, and the third is the grain in the warehouse. The first two pieces of evidence are the most important, and the third evidence is best if you have the ability. ”
Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"People say that if there is Taicang grain in the grain merchant's warehouse, I have to take someone in to arrest it on the spot, what evidence can I use as a bag to take out? What's more, it's a bag of rice, even if I have the ability to sneak into the warehouse, can I still sneak out with rice? “
To King Road:
"That's why I said that the first two things are important, and the third thing is not important, Wei Hou, you can just watch it when you get there."
Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at Du Jing at this time and asked:
"Lord Du won't fail to see that I'm going on a long trip, right?"
Du Jing smiled:
"I know"
Lan Ziyi said:
"In that case, then the evidence that Lord Du wants me to collect must be outside the capital."
To King Road:
"Yes, it's in Jingkou. And I don't just want you to collect evidence, I also want you to use this evidence to send those grain merchants to prison. “
Lan Ziyi turned his head back to the front and continued to look at the road, his heart was already irritable at this time, and he said in a loud voice when he heard the words:
"Okay, okay, I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you."
Saying that, Lan Ziyi sighed helplessly, and then he asked Du Jingdao:
"Listen to your tone, have you found out the case on the green river?"
Du Jing was already planning to turn into a fork in the road and leave at this time, but when he heard this, he turned back to Lan Ziyi and smiled:
"Wei Hou, I'm not a fool. The case on the Green River involves your sister-in-law, and that case is very important to you. Do you want to get news from me? Let's arrest the grain merchant first. “
After saying that, Du Jing turned around and walked into the side alley, and after taking two steps, Du Jing turned back to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Oh, by the way, Weihou, I almost forgot to tell you, be careful when you go out of the city, now the city is arresting you everywhere?"
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi asked incredulously:
"Catch me? Why? Am I riding by the ditch again? ”
To King Road:
"I arrested you because yesterday you and Mrs. Zhang had a fight with Jiangnan Tower, and my brother wants to try this case personally."
Lan Ziyi snorted disdainfully when he heard this, and he said:
"If you want to add to the sin, can you cure me for this kind of idle work that is used to delay my time?"
To King Road:
"It is true that you cannot be punished for your crimes, this matter is used to delay your time, and the city gate is especially tight to check you, you have to be careful."
Lan Ziyi asked Du Jingdao:
"Master Du, you told me the news very easily."
At this time, Du Jing had gradually disappeared into the flow of people in the alley, and only his voice was left in Lan Ziyi's ears, only listening to him:
"Of course, because I'm one of the people who came out to get you."
