Chapter 55: Zhou Wudao's next step
The next morning, Xu Anping did not return to Yujia Village, but changed his mind and told He Xiaoxiao to rush to Anlu Mansion as soon as possible, and he himself took the first step to investigate the situation in advance. According to his original thoughts, he didn't plan to clash with the Prefect of Anlu, after all, the other party was not an opponent of the same level as himself, and there was no direct threat. However, with the arrival of Nie Wuchang, the chief catcher of Anlu Mansion, Xu Anping knew that the conflict was inevitable. It can be seen from Li Weiwei's body that if the heart of an official is black, there is no bottom line at all. In order to prevent the Deng family and the Yu family from being harmed, the best way is to launch a fatal blow before the other party can figure out the situation. So, he decided to rush over and get rid of the other party before he found out that the person sent had been killed, or be sent to prison like Li Weiwei. Because of the serious injuries to his body, he did not rush on foot, but rented a donkey cart to travel on his behalf. Shaking all the way, Xu Anping actually fell asleep.
It was dark, and the handle of the car drove the donkey cart to Anlu Mansion, and woke up Xu Anping, who was sleeping deeply, by an inn. Xu Anping got off the car and paid for the car, first walked into the Yuelai Inn, shook around and then entered a smaller inn next to him, lay down and continued to close his eyes and recuperate, preparing to enter the backyard of the government late at night to find out.
The handlebar drove the donkey cart to the car shop to live in the chase shop, and when I cleaned the carriage later, I found a blood stain that had not dried up, and I was so frightened that I was trembling. "What can I do! That good-looking young man can't be a strongman who robs homes, right? Do you want to report to the police? After hiding in the car and thinking about it for a while, the handlebar style decided to pretend not to see it. Because even if it is true, if the official can't catch the thief after reporting to the official, it is estimated that the lives of his family of seven will be gone; If it's not true, then I can't help but pay a considerable amount of tea money, after all, I have worked hard for a few uncles to make a trip. So, the handlebar gritted his teeth, picked up a rag and wiped the blood stains off the carriage, and scolded hatefully: "Damn! It's not Lao Tzu who kills people, why do you care so much! ”
When Zishi arrived, Xu Anping checked the wound and saw that although the clothes were stained red, the wound was no longer bleeding. He rolled out of the inn and ran all the way to the west of the city. Running and jumping inevitably touched the wound, and he just frowned and didn't say anything. When he arrived at the backyard of the prefect's yamen, he saw the courtyard wall that was obviously a cut higher than the county yamen, Xu Anping did not hesitate, but stepped on the wall with his feet after running, grabbed the wall with his left hand and slowly climbed up. After observing the regularity of the patrol of the official on duty, he took advantage of the gap between people and climbed into the courtyard, and cautiously approached the courtyard where the prefect lived.
At this time, the study of the prefect Zhou Wudao was still lit by candlelight, and the figures of two people were reflected in the window.
"Master, what's going on with Li Weiwei?" Zhou Wudao's complexion was a little sluggish, and he was drinking a cup of strong tea, frowning from time to time.
"Back to the proprietor, Li's only situation is not optimistic. Last time, the cell boss Liu Datao used some means to make him spit out the whereabouts of the account books, leaving some sequelae. Until now, he was not very conscious, often in a trance, and screamed loudly from time to time. "Master Qian is also helpless, the last time he was too anxious, and it is estimated that he drove Li Wei crazy.
Zhou Wudao's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he said in a somewhat heavy tone: "It's been nearly ten days since Nie Wuchang went to Qingping County, and there hasn't been the slightest news. The official guessed that what Li only revealed last time might not be right. ”
Master Qian's face changed when he heard this, and the prefect slapped him in the face nakedly, which made it clear that he was not doing things well. So he hurriedly said: "The proprietor, give my subordinates some more time, and I will definitely let Li Wei spit out the truth." ”
"It's too late. Today, Yushi Sun Yongcheng has come to bid me farewell, and he will leave for Beijing tomorrow morning. It seems that Li Weiwei is also dragging out time, and he will force me to do it according to his ideas! Alas, this time it was a bit of trouble. ”
"Proprietor, if it really doesn't work, we'll ......," Master Qian said softly, and gestured with his hand on his neck.
"No, this is a good idea, and you must not do it in Anlu Mansion. If the court wants to make a mistake in this mansion, the emperor will definitely be furious, and the official will not be able to get rid of it at that time. Zhou Wudao did not completely give up this choice, but expressed his worries.
Master Qian realized it, but he couldn't figure out how to do it for a while, so he lowered his head and pondered.
After a while, Zhou Wudao took the initiative to say: "This matter can't be done by the people in the mansion, so as not to leak the news, so we still have to think of other ways, such as finding an assassin organization." ”
Master Qian was a little confused when he heard this, where is this! The proprietor can't be taking the wrong medicine, right? Of course, he still asked, "The Assassin Order?" Where to find this? The subordinates don't know much about this. ”
Zhou Wudao said: "You still have an impression of the tragedy of the Causeway Lane more than a month ago. This case was actually done by an assassin organization called the Bloody Hand Alliance, and the official later identified it as the work of the Jiangyang thieves in order to paralyze them. Later, the official asked Nie to secretly investigate with the six gates, and found that this assassin organization was extremely huge, and it was even set up in many prefectures and cities, including a rudder in Qingzhou Mansion. They take money to kill people, do many evils, and slaughter people everywhere at every turn. After discovering these clues, the official was about to go to the imperial court to eradicate it in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that something happened to Li Wei. Alas! ”
Master Qian hurriedly said: "Proprietor, then we can just make use of the waste and spend some money to let them get rid of Li Weiwei, so that we can sit back and relax." ”
Zhou Wudao stood up and paced a few steps, sighed and said: "This official has already promised the country with his body, and has always wanted to repay the grace of the saint and benefit the people, how to do these things that know the law and break the law." ”
Master Qian knew that the proprietor was thinking about the establishment of the archway again, so he lowered his head and pursed his lips, of course, for the sake of his own rice bowl, he still persuaded again and again: "The proprietor, it is precisely in order to repay the grace of God and benefit the people that it is necessary to do this!" It's hateful that Li only wants to survive in the world, and he bites at will, and even tries to drag the proprietor into the water, so it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Only by keeping a useful body can we better govern the place and live up to the emperor's grace! ”
After hearing this, Zhou Wudao slumped in his chair and said in a heavy tone: "That's it, I'll leave this matter to you." Sun Yongcheng and his entourage will leave tomorrow morning and leave Anlu Mansion and enter the Qingzhou territory two days later. Then he said a few words to Master Qian, and Master Qian nodded again and again.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it as soon as possible." Then Master Qian came out of the study. Zhou Wudao squinted his eyes, his fingers kept tapping on the desk, and he didn't see the tangled look just now.
When Xu Anping saw someone coming out, he also hid his figure and withdrew from the backyard of the mansion. He had already dismissed the idea of killing the prefect now, and instead had another better idea, clenching his fists hard. Daddy Yu's feud finally has a new clue.
