Chapter 68: The Beginning of the Traces

"My lord, you can be regarded as coming, and your subordinates want to kill you. " After so many days of restlessness, Brother Erdan, who saw Shen Chongming again, burst into tears, and almost went up to have a bear hug.

Shen Chongming smiled, "Erdan, is it that the errand was not done?" ”

Brother Erdan's face turned red, and he sneered: "The two adults have a tired journey, let's rest and talk about business." ”

After taking a sip of hot tea, Shen Chongming looked up at Brother Erdan, who had an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and said, "Anyway, what difficulties have you encountered these days?" ”

"My lord, the Lei Leopard of Dongchang is in Wuchang Mansion." Brother Erdan said cautiously, using this thing as an excuse for no progress, it's really a little hard to take it.

"Thunder Leopard, what is he doing here?" Liu Shouyou's brows furrowed, as long as this guy appeared, it would definitely be nothing good.

Shen Chongming smiled slightly, but he didn't need to answer this question. "Naturally, it's to compete with us, and Grand Duke Feng's jealousy is not small."

Liu Shouyou shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, if it was just for the sake of merit, Feng Bao would have sent someone here a long time ago, and he wouldn't have to bother to snatch credit from us." ”

"This ......" Shen Chongming hesitated for a while, if it was really like what Liu Shouyou said, then this matter would have to be pondered carefully.

Seeing that the two bosses were no longer speechless, Brother Erdan spoke out about the current difficulties. "In the Huguang realm, our Jinyiwei's power is far inferior to that of Dongchang, and our subordinates have exhausted their methods these days, but not only has there been no progress, but they have been dizzy because the information they have obtained is too complicated."

"Hehe, there must be a road in front of the lane mountain, there will always be a way." Shen Chongming said with a flat face, as long as it is not a pool of stagnant water, there must be a place to start.

"Brother, do you think Dongchang will have anything to do with this matter?" Liu Shouyou, who had been frowning, raised his head and said.

"If it weren't for the sake of competing with us, it would have been like this." A sneer appeared on Shen Chongming's face, Feng Bao loves wealth but is something that the officials of the imperial court know, maybe this silver really fell into his pocket.

This eunuch tried to meddle in the royal trade house several times but failed, saying that he found another way to make money, and he absolutely believed it.

Liu Shouyou laughed and said with some contempt: "This birdman may have used some disgraceful means in order to make money, so he hurriedly sent Lei Leopard to Huguang to cover the lid." Let's take a good look at him, wait until we get his handle, and see what he has to say. ”

"In that case, Erdan, you immediately send someone to keep an eye on Lei Leopard, and the official must know his words." Shen Chongming commanded.

"Don't worry, my subordinates heard that Lei Bao was in Wuchang, so they sent someone to keep an eye on him early in the morning." Brother Erdan showed off, but he didn't dare to mention that he had no choice but to send someone to monitor Lei Leopard so that he could pick up some leftovers to deal with errands.

Shen Chongming didn't know what was going on, and was about to open his mouth to praise him, when he saw a man covered in blood who was supported by two lieutenants and stumbled in.

"Master Ma, something's wrong." With that, the guy fell to the ground.

Brother Erdan stepped forward to take a look, raised his head and said with an ugly face: "My lord, this is the person sent by his subordinates to monitor Lei Leopard." ”

Liu Shouyou's eyes narrowed, "Lei Leopard, it's too much of a deception!" ”

Before everyone could think about it, another captain hurriedly ran in, and there was a panicked look on his face. "Oh no, Dongchang Lei Leopard has broken in!"

"How daring, since you dare to come to the door!" Liu Shouyi slapped the table and stood up, his fists clenched loudly.

"Come on, close the door and beat the dog!" Shen Chongming also lost his temper, even a mere thunder leopard dared to be so arrogant, didn't he know the allusion that Shibei was impressed by for three days, and he was afraid of him as he was a few years ago?

"Hahaha, I heard that the two adults came to Wuchang Mansion, and Lei Bao took the liberty to come to visit." Lei Leopard walked in with his head held high, ignoring the angry gazes of everyone in front of him.

"Lei Leopard, since it's a visit, what's the reason why you broke in without being informed?" Liu Shouyou asked with a smoky face, this bird thief became more and more arrogant.

"Lord Liu, you and I are both martial arts practitioners, why bother to learn the sour spirit of Confucianism." Lei Leopard didn't care, he came to smash the field today!

"Hehe, Lord Lei is not welcome to come to this official, there is just one thing that the official wants to find you, and now it is easy to save trouble." Shen Chongming's face was blowing in the spring breeze, glaring at this kind of tree nose, and he insulted his identity.

"If Lord Shen has something to do, even if he orders, Lei Leopard, who can help, will definitely not refuse." Lei Leopard patted his chest and said, just waiting for Shen Chongming to be angry first, so that he would make him look good.

Shen Chongming pointed to the captain who had fallen to the ground and was particularly awake and said, "Master Lei, how do you explain this matter?" ”

"Ah, this guy is actually Lord Shen's subordinate?" Thunder Leopard looked surprised. "I chased this person through here, and I heard that the two adults had arrived, so I came in to pay a visit."

Looking at Lei Leopard pretending, Shen Chongming sneered in his heart, he hadn't seen him for a few years, this guy was a slippery learner, and officialdom was not shallow.

"Two adults, if he is your person, then what is the reason for spying on Lei?" Thunder Leopard revealed his original purpose. These two must know that they are wrong, and see how they answer!

However, Shen Chongming was a vegetarian, and sneered: "Lord Lei, Jinyiwei is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and it is within my Jinyiwei to send people to monitor you, if you don't do it, won't you live up to the emperor's trust?" ”

"Hmph, it's your responsibility to monitor hundreds of officials, but I'm not among them, isn't Lord Shen breaking the rules by doing this?" Thunder Leopard asked.

Shen Chongming laughed, "Dongchang is not among them?" Dare to ask Lord Lei, who is this rule, and the official will meet him. ”

Lei Leopard couldn't help but be stunned, this stumped him. Halfway to the monk, he also knows little about the rules of the imperial court, only knows that the East Factory is responsible for supervising the Jinyi Guard, but he has never heard that the Jin Yiwei can also supervise the East Factory, so isn't it a mess?

Besides, where can I know that this rule has been handed down from generation to life. Even if they knew, those who set the rules were rotten and only a pile of bones remained.

"No, no, I hope the two adults will give an explanation for this matter today, otherwise Lei will tell the overseer, let's see you in the court!" Lei Leopard is very strong, and he is not afraid of anyone if he does it, but this kind of kung fu is not his forte. But now in the face of the two celebrities in front of the emperor, where does he dare to make a move, he can only bring out Feng Bao behind him to try if he can suppress the two.

"Okay, if Feng Bao doesn't give an explanation for this matter, this official won't give up." Shen Chongming is a bull to the end, and he is not afraid of the master behind Lei Leopard.

Lei Leopard scratched his head for a while, even Gonggong Feng didn't work, how is this good to teach himself? After pondering for a while, Lei Bao pretended to be tough and said: "Okay, Lei will not pursue this matter for the time being, let's see you in the capital and say goodbye." ”

"Wait." Lei Bao turned around to leave, but was stopped by Liu Shouyou's words. "Lei Leopard, the lawsuit in the capital is still postponed, don't you want to leave if you hurt the official?"

As soon as these words came out, Lei Bao instantly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and when he looked around, it was all the captains who were gearing up and showing signs of moving.

"Hehehe, I don't know what Lord Liu is going to do to Lei?" Lei Leopard is not afraid, if they do it first, they will not be afraid of anything.

Liu Shouyou's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "Lei Leopard, did you hurt my people because you did something unseemly?" ”

Lei Leopard was shocked, it seemed that they were really suspicious of themselves! "Hehehe, is it difficult for me to explain the matter of the East Factory to you Jinyiwei?"

"Lord Lei, this official has already said that supervising the East Factory is a matter within the Jinyi Guard, and this official has the right to inquire about what you are doing." Shen Chongming interjected on the side, if this guy quibbled in every way, then the previous conjecture was very likely to be true.

"Lord Shen, if Lei Leopard doesn't say it, what can you do to me?" The other party deceived people too much, and Lei Leopard's fiery temper couldn't help but come up, and it was a big deal to kill them and wander the world!

"The official doesn't have much power, and if you don't have real evidence, you naturally don't dare to do anything to Lord Lei." Shen Chongming said with a smile, then his face turned cold, and he shouted: "However, this kind of thing is only once, if you do it again, don't blame the official for convicting you of plotting to rebel!" ”

Lei Leopard's heart is cool and cool, something is wrong, he must have been caught by them, otherwise how could Shen Chongming dare to boast of such a Haikou?

"Hehe, then Lei Leopard is waiting and leaving." Pressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lei Leopard put down his words and hurriedly walked out, he must think of a countermeasure, otherwise the matter will be exposed, and no one will be able to protect himself!

Liu Shouyou got up and was about to stop him, but Shen Chongming stretched out his hand to stop him. "Big brother, it seems that we are thinking right, I am afraid that Dongchang will be involved in this matter."

"Well, that's a problem." Liu Shouyou said with some worry. Although they are not afraid of Dongchang, it is not easy to investigate what they are involved in, especially in the Huguang area, where Dongchang has a huge force, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. "Brother, what can you do?"

Shen Chongming smiled, "It's simple, punch the master to death, let's forgive him here, Lei Leopard doesn't dare to come hard, attack from all sides and mess up his position first!" ”

"Well, that makes sense." As soon as he heard this, Liu Shouyou had a bottom in his heart. Looking at today's situation, Lei Leopard must have sensed that Jinyiwei was already suspicious of him, and the next thing to do was to cover up and cover up.

"However, Dongchang has a huge influence in Huguang, and our existing manpower is not enough. But Chen Xiao was dragged down by the matter in Zhenjiang again, so he could only dispatch people from the capital. Liu Shouyou touched his chin and said.

"It's not necessary, the younger brother has the emperor's secret decree, and the investigation of cases can be transferred from all over the country. The more we make the noise, the more anxious Lei Leopard must be, so it is naturally full of flaws. Shen Chongming waved his hand and smiled. No matter how many people Dongchang has in Huguang, it can't compare to the army.

Liu Shouyou laughed, "It makes sense, the army is pressing, forgive him Lei Leopard has never seen it." ”

That being said, it was indeed not easy to dispatch troops, and after some consideration, Shen Chongming made some arrangements. The elite men were all dispatched to monitor the people in the East Factory, and the rest of the local spies were dispatched to investigate the strange things in the local shops, so as to deduce where the money had gone.

As for the transfer of troops, it was postponed for the time being, but an order was sent to various places to start assembling troops and horses, and they were ready to listen to orders at any time. Shen Chongming believed that with Dongchang's intelligence system, this matter would definitely not be hidden from Lei Leopard, and he would be fooled sooner or later.

…… Sorry for the late update, I'm guilty......
