Chapter 41: Something Happened
In the afternoon, Zhang Mu opened his eyes and stretched comfortably.
"Song Xiancheng should be caught, right?" Zhang Mu rubbed his eyes, turned over and stepped on the clogs, sat on the side of the table, poured himself a cup of tea first, and drank it all.
"Young Master, are you up?" At this time, Zhang Wenguang shouted in a low voice.
"Come in." Zhang Mu replied.
"Young master, Shopkeeper Tao left you a letter." Zhang Wenguang put the letter on the table and stood to the side with his head down.
"Did he say anything?" Zhang Mu asked.
"He came in a hurry, he left in a hurry, and he didn't see the little ones. Just handed the letter to the man at the gate and left. Zhang Wenguang explained.
"Later, at dinner, you will tell the people in the house that you are not allowed to talk nonsense about last night's affairs. Just tell them that this is not a joke, and that they are going to lose their heads. Zhang Mu commanded.
"The little one remembers, young master rest assured. Also, the Yan family came, and the patriarch received them and arranged food and lodging for them, and the little brother of the Yan family said that if you woke up, you would go to him. Zhang Wenguang said.
"Okay, you go get busy first." Saying this, Zhang Mu opened the envelope, and after opening the letter, he took a cursory look at it, and couldn't help frowning.
The letter said that today's arrest was not very smooth, Wang Heng was burned to death, Song Xiancheng ran away in advance, interrogated his family, and did not know his whereabouts, Han Fangshan was afraid that there would be another change, so he sent Zhang Chiqi to Jinhua Mansion, he also followed, and told Zhang Mu to pay attention to the whereabouts of Song County, and be careful himself, if there is any wind and grass, go to the Yuelai restaurant, where there are still people left.
Zhang Mu put down the letter, and subconsciously felt that someone had leaked the news, so Han Fangshan was not at ease to continue to leave Zhang Chi in Yongkang, and escorted him back first.
This case looks small, but Zhang Mu knows that the matter behind this is afraid that it will be a bloody storm, Zhang Chi said that their major event is related to Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, and it is definitely not small to be able to involve a Hou Ye.
It's just that Zhang Mu has heard a lot of stories in the past two years, but he doesn't know a little about this Lu Zhongheng, after all, the Ming Dynasty was founded, and the fierce generals were like clouds, bright as stars, such as the people often say that they often meet chΕ«n, Xu Da, Li Shanchang, these people are familiar to him, this Lu Zhongheng, his fame is a little smaller.
But when things came to this, Zhang Mu felt that it had little to do with him, no matter how much he tossed it was Han Fangshan's business, the first thing he had to do at present was to buy soap, and the second was to continue to do business, after all, Jinyiwei was in Hongwu for a while, but it was short-lived, and this big tree was unreliable.
got up, put on his clothes, freshened up, and walked towards Yan Su's room.
Walking outside the door, he heard the laughter inside, Zhang Mu pushed the door open, and saw several strong men sitting in the room, all of them with frost-dyed sideburns and dark skin.
"Are you awake? Let me introduce to you, this is my eldest brother who is strict, this is what I told you about Zhang Mu. Yan Su hurriedly got up and smiled.
Zhang Mu looked up, next to Yan Su sat a young man, who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, older than Yan Su, he was wearing a sky blue sè moire gown, with a scarf tied on his head, and a moderate figure.
On the resolute face, there are two sword eyebrows, heroic, a pair of tiger eyes, not angry and self-imposing, between the eyebrows, there is a faint shadow of Yan Su.
"Brother Yan, please take a seat. All the uncles are also sitting down. Zhang Mu hurriedly greeted.
Yan Su was obviously very happy when he saw his relatives at home, and walked up to Zhang Mu and said with a smile: "Now you can rest assured, these uncles and uncles of mine are all practicing families, I think who would dare to come to you to find trouble?" β
Yan Yan looked at Yan Su suspiciously, and said secretly in his heart: "This Nizi is rampant and domineering at home, why is he so polite to this kid?" It's hard to be ....... Thinking of this, he got up and smiled politely: "Brother Muzhi, I received Su Su's letter today, and it just so happened that our people outside also came back, so my grandfather ordered us to come quickly." We are those who learn martial arts, and we promise a thousand gold. We will do our best to take care of the affairs of your Zhang Mansion, you can rest assured. β
"Thank you. In the evening, I personally set the wine and washed the dust for you. Zhang Muzuo said with a smile.
At this moment, Songwen suddenly shouted outside the door: "Young master, someone has come to Yuelai Restaurant." β
"A few people sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go." After speaking, Zhang Mu went out.
"I'll check it out too." At that moment, Serious chased out.
"Where are the people?" Zhang Mu asked when he went out.
"Wait at the back door." After Songwen finished speaking, Zhang Mu hurried to the back door.
At the back door, the python was sweating profusely, and his clothes were also soaked with sweat, leaving a salt stain of white flowers, and his face was full of gloom, which was already ugly, and this frown was a little scary.
"Lord Python, why are you here?" Zhang Mu hurriedly asked in a low voice.
Seeing Zhang Mu followed by Yan Su and Songwen, the python gave Zhang Mu a look, and Zhang Mu hurriedly said, "You guys are waiting here." After speaking, he followed Liu Jianfei out.
"Zhang Mu, it seems that something has happened." Python said suddenly.
"Something? What's wrong? β
"Master Tao should have left you a letter when he left, I believe you know what happened, right?" Python asked.
Zhang Mu nodded, and the python continued: "Lord Han is afraid that there will be internal ghosts in us, so he ordered me to leave in batches with him. He detained Zhang Chi, Song and Wang Heng's families, and I took Zhang Chi's account books and left first. As a result, I returned to Jinhua Mansion, and I didn't see Lord Han come back for a long time, and I didn't feel at ease after waiting for half a year, so I went back along the road just now to look for it, and I found this. β
Zhang Mu looked down and saw that he was holding a half-truncated arrow in his hand, which was still stained with blood, and the bloodstains were very new, and they should have been dyed today.
Zhang Mu saw this half-truncated arrow, and hurriedly asked, "This is Jinyiwei's thing?" β
"No, the arrows we use are specially made, and the poles are generally made of birch and willow wood, and they are carved with feathers. Only the guards in the south will use arrows and bamboos as poles, and Yan Ling is behind them. The python hurriedly explained.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he immediately gasped and said, "Do you suspect that the officers and soldiers of the guard station attacked Lord Han?" β
"Not really! This time, Lord Han was ordered to investigate secretly, and he brought me one from Ying Tianfu, and the people around him were all hidden piles lurking here. If someone reports the news, I'm afraid it won't be able to prevent it. Originally, I planned to alarm the government, but then I thought about it, if it was really Lord Han who was attacked by the officers and soldiers of the guard, wouldn't I be caught in the net when I went? That's why I came to you in a hurry to consult. Python Tiger said nervously.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he secretly said in his heart that this python tiger was also a rough and fine person, and hurriedly asked, "Then how many more people can we mobilize now?" β
"No, you go back to sleep today, Lord Han didn't catch anyone, so he ordered to mobilize all the hidden piles of Jinhua Mansion to assist in escorting the prisoners. Now there is no one left, I went to Yuelai Restaurant just now, there is only one injured brother, I can't count on it. Now we can only count on you and me. Now I will go to the dark pile in Beppu, I'm afraid it's too late. Python said.
"Don't worry, let me think." Zhang Mu knew that this time the matter was a big trouble, if the python tiger's inference was correct, they could all secretly mobilize the officers and soldiers of the guard, and Han Fangshan was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
"So, do you have the authority to transfer people from the state capital?" Zhang Mu asked.
"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up?" The python tiger sweated profusely.
"The state capital is in Lishui, one hundred and fifty miles away from Yongkang, three hundred miles back and forth, which is the closest. You set off now, hurry up, and arrive before Yeosu closes the city gates. If you can't count on the official palace guard here, just rely on the two of us, even if you find Lord Han, it will be in vain. I'll take the people in the house to look for it along the way, and we'll divide into two ways, do you know what I mean? Zhang Mu said.
