Chapter Ninety-Seven: Alibi Evidence
After washing himself from the river, Zhang Twelve returned to his clean and refreshing handsome appearance, while Lu San recovered - a normal appearance.
At this time, Zhang Twelve realized the hard work of the female compatriots in putting on makeup, and they didn't feel too uncomfortable with such a heavy foundation all day long.
Changed into a clean robe, this time changed to Lu San to drive, and the three of them returned to Taizhou City......
Lu Fujing opened the door and saw Zhang Twelve outside the door, and said with a happy face: "The matter is done?" ”
Zhang Twelve replied with a smile: "Okay, at this time, Yu Haojie is probably collecting wine in Wangzhuang Village, and he must be very happy!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Twelve and Lu San glanced at each other, thinking of the funny scene that happened at home just now, they couldn't help but laugh "haha".
"So what now? Are we waiting here? ”
"No, clean up, let's go to Yujia Wine Shop again!"
"Huh? Didn't you say that Yu Haojie was still in Wangzhuang Village? No one is there now? ”
Lu Fujing asked with some curiosity.
"Let's go at this time, we have to provide an alibi this time!"
"Alibi?"
Although Lu Fujing was used to hearing all kinds of strange words from Zhang Twelve's mouth, she still asked a little curiously.
"It's just- forget it, you don't understand it anyway!"
“…………”
Lu Fujing glared at Zhang Twelve angrily, eager to eat him in one bite: Cut, don't say it, what's the big deal? Anyway - I'll see later!
…………
When Zhang Twelve and Lu Fujing came to Yujia Winery, Yu Haojie was naturally not at home.
The gatekeeper knew Zhang Twelve, who had recently called their master a brother and sister, and said with a flattering face: "Zhang Gongzi, you are here to find our master, right?" The lord is not in the house now, he just went out. ”
"Out? Wasn't the shopkeeper still in the house when I came here just now? ”
Lu Fujing asked with a "curious" expression.
The next person had also seen Lu Fujing come alone in the morning, and he also knew what their master was going out for, and said in the spirit of lying for his master: "My master also went out just now, basically he went out on the front foot and you came on the back foot, Miss Lu, it's really unfortunate." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Twelve's mouth turned up slightly, thinking that when your master comes back, you'd better say the same, so that you can take me out!
"We're all here, why don't we just wait for Brother Yu to come back at home!"
"This ...... Okay, Zhang Gongzi and Miss Lu come in with me. ”
A person who can call the master a brother and sister, he should still meet this requirement, right?
"And - I was poured too much wine by Brother Yu last night, I just woke up and came over, I haven't eaten yet, you see what is delicious in the house, bring us some - it doesn't have to be too good, you can have chicken, duck and fish, I don't pick ......"
"Eh-okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll tell the kitchen to prepare!"
This Zhang Gongzi, chicken, duck and fish meat are not too good? No wonder you can get along with the master like this, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Walking behind this little guy to Yu's house, Zhang Twelve made a grimace at Lu Fujing, which meant "Look at how good I am." ”
Lu Fujing was still angry at what he said before, "You don't understand what I said anyway", she gave him a fierce look, and then turned her head away, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Zhang Twelve didn't feel embarrassed, thinking that everything was basically running according to his plan, and he felt satisfied.
It turned out that when to pretend to be Fanbang to come to Yu's house, when to "meet" Yu Haojie on the road, when to swagger through the city in Taizhou City, when to let the whole city know that Fanbang left Taizhou City, and when to appear at Yu's house with Lu Fujing during this time period were all planned by him.
Yu Haojie has undoubtedly taken the bait, and when he finds out that he has been deceived, he will definitely be furious, and then he will start to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the whole thing.
As Zhang Twelve and Lu Fujing, who have direct business dealings with him, they are naturally inseparable.
And everything Zhang Twelve is doing now is to clean himself up.
It is equivalent to that after Haojie came back, he heard from the mouth of the little guy that Zhang Twelve came to Yu's house when he had just left on his front foot, and it is estimated that he would not be hooked with the Fanbang businessman.
And Zhang Twelve deliberately left from the gate of Taizhou City in a high-profile manner before, which means that when the family heard the news of Fanbang's departure from the city, Zhang Twelve had already finished eating at home, where would they think that he was a businessman of Fanbang?
So, this is the alibi that Zhang Twelve did.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that there is no watch in this era, so the time is not very accurate, if in the 21st century before Zhang Twelve crossed, let alone the camera, just calculate the various time points, how can Zhang Twelve be so easy to hide from the world?
…………
After eating, Zhang Twelve sat in the living room of Yu's house and drank two pots of tea leisurely, until the evening night was about to fall, and he heard the heavy sound of carriages outside.
Zhang Twelve raised his eyebrows, knowing that Yu Haojie had "returned triumphantly"!
So he stood up, as if he were the host, and stood at the door, ready to greet the guests......
Yu Haojie returned with a full load this time, and when he thought of the whole box of silver in the room, he was not too happy.
Getting off the carriage, Yu Haojie strode towards the door of the house, and did not forget to ask the little guy who came out from the inside: "Is the box still in the wing?" ”
After hearing the affirmative answer, he let go of the heart that had been hanging on the road, and then asked, "What about the two Fanbang merchants?" ”
In his eyes, the importance of the two Fanbang merchants was far less important than the silver in the box, so he first confirmed that the box was still there before he remembered to ask the Fanbang merchants.
"I haven't been here since my lord left."
"Oh?"
This is a bit curious, didn't the old man mean that Zhou said that the Fanbang businessman planned to come back and go to Wangzhuang Village to buy wine in person with the money? Why didn't you come to pick up the money?
Could it be that the merchants of that state had any other silver?
Thinking of this, Yu Haojie's eyelids jumped: These barbarians, they are really rich!
But it doesn't matter, anyway, this box of silver is there, I'm not afraid that they will run away!
Continuing to walk towards the courtyard, Yu Haojie saw Zhang Twelve who was standing outside the living room and looking at him with a smile on his face: "Brother Yu, you can let your brother wait!" ”
Seeing that Yu Haojie was a little stunned, the little guy next to him hurriedly explained: "Master, as soon as you left the house, Zhang Gongzi and Miss Lu came over, and I have been waiting for you for an afternoon!" ”
After saying this, the little guy was still complacent in his heart, praising himself for helping the master to solve the siege!
