Chapter 772: Scheming and Deceit
After explaining clearly to Liu Zhenxuan, Guo Ye went out of Wutong Lane alone and returned to the mansion in a carriage.
It was the middle of the night when I returned to the palace, and it was still about two hours before dawn.
At this time, the county servant Chen Jitao was also a servant of the wind and dust and rushed to the Governor's Mansion to return to his life, followed by Chen Lang, who was sleepy-eyed and sleepy, yawning again and again.
On the way, Chen Jitao had already finished telling Chen Lang about the whole thing, so after Chen Lang stepped into the mansion and came to Guo Ye's study, he opened his mouth and scolded: "The Zhang family on the dog day doesn't let people stop at all, it's really eventful!" ”
Guo Ye shrugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and then motioned for him and Chen Jitao to sit down one after another, and said to him: "Chen Duwei, I guess you also know the ins and outs of the matter, and no matter how much you complain now, it won't help." At present, it is necessary to find strong witnesses to help this case. And the only one alive is the boat boss surnamed Huang who is missing. So, I need your help from the Salt Gang. ”
Chen Lang rubbed his face, sat up straight, and said, "Guo Tingshi, you say, what do you need our salt gang to do?" ”
Guo Ye said: "Okay, I won't be polite to you, you can send a message back to the Salt Gang now, and let you Salt Gang disciples search for me in the waters of Yangzhou day and night, and find the whereabouts of the boat boss as soon as possible." I'll have someone draw a portrait of the captain and send it to you. According to my estimate, the boat boss should still be hiding somewhere in the waters of Yangzhou, and looking for someone on the river should not be difficult for you salt gang. ”
Chen Lang was in high spirits when he heard this, patted his chest and promised: "Guo Tingshi rest assured, our Salt Gang is begging for a living on this river, as long as this person is still in Yangzhou waters, the Salt Gang can find him out." ”
Guo Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you and the Salt Gang have worked hard, and Guo will have a thank you one day." ”
Chen Lang generously waved his hand and said politely: "What did Guo Tingshi say, you have taken good care of our salt gang, don't you just find someone?" No need to be so polite. Hehe, if it weren't for Guo Tingshi's request for silver from the Zhang family last time, the salt stored by our salt gang would not have been sold out all at once, you have done us a great favor. Guo Tingshi, then Chen retired first, and hurriedly sent the letter back to the various halls. ”
Guo Ye got up to send him off and sent Chen Lang to the door of the study.
At this time, Chen Jitao also got up and said: "Lord Assassin, you are also tired for a night, it is better to go and rest and rest, and leave the affairs in the yamen to the lower officials for the time being." ”
Guo Ye looked at Chen Jitao with a guilty face, knowing that the other party was still angry because of the matter that Feng Kui had put together, and it was difficult to let go of the burden in his heart.
At this time, he knew that it was not good to refuse Chen Jitao's good intentions, otherwise this guy would definitely think wildly and think that he didn't trust him.
Immediately, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, tonight may have to be tired and stay up all night, and there must be someone in charge of the yamen at very many times." ”
Sure enough, Chen Jitao not only felt hard, but also gave up his hand inexplicably with gratitude: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan will definitely do it himself this time, and he will no longer fake it to others." ”
"Hehe, Mingren doesn't have to think too much, you also made an unintentional mistake in that matter," Guo Ye relieved a sentence, and admonished, "By the way, after dawn tomorrow, you have to do one more thing for this official, in the name of Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, post an announcement in the name of Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, post it all over the city, and ...... Feng Kui Nai."
Then, Guo Ye kept the secret about Feng Kui's death that he had confessed to Liu Zhenxuan before, and repeated it again in detail by pretending to capture Feng Kui alive.
After all, Chen Jitao was born as a scholar, and he thought that things would be more brainy than Liu Zhenxuan, and he immediately heard the true purpose of Guo Ye's instructions.
Dare to be affectionate, Lord Assassin Shi is going to cheat again.
Immediately, he nodded his head again and again, promising that nothing would go wrong this time.
After explaining Chen Jitao, Guo Ye smacked his breath, stretched his waist, and walked out of the study in the direction of the bedroom.
In order not to wake up Wu Xiuxiu, who was still asleep, Guo Ye tiptoed into the bedroom, came to the bed in the dark, and lay down in a hurry and closed his eyes to continue to make up for sleep.
From beginning to end, Wu Xiuxiu never woke up, obviously the madness of the night really made this little girl tired enough.
With heavy eyelids and sleepiness, Guo Ye soon got slightly drunk and fell asleep
After dawn, Chen Jitao, who had stayed up all night, was still fierce, and began to order people to start making announcements all over the city, announcing the murder case on the river last night, and capturing Feng Kui alive before he died.
At the same time, Liu Zhenxuan also let his soldiers brag in various wine shops and restaurants in the city, boasting about how thrilling last night was, and arranging gossip about how to capture Feng Kui alive.
Of course, it is rare to follow Guo Ye's instructions to publicize it, so that the people in the city know that Feng Kui is now imprisoned in the dungeon of the Zhichong Governor's Mansion, and he is still a hard bone, and he can't pry half a sentence from Feng Kui's mouth.
The announcement of the government and the Governor's Mansion spread everywhere, one spread ten, ten hundreds, hundreds of thousands, and for a while, the entire Yangzhou City began to spread and discuss the murders of last night.
In just one morning, the streets and alleys of the city, and the wine shops and restaurants everywhere have already spread.
According to Guo Ye's thoughts, in this case, the Zhang family in Gujing Lane will definitely be able to receive the news, and Zhang Chengzong's family will definitely not be able to sit still, worried that Feng Kui will tell the mastermind behind the scenes when the court opens the trial.
Guo Ye firmly believes that as long as Zhang Chengzong panics, then he will expose the horse's feet and expose the fox's tail.
At that time, it is a good time to collect the net and catch fish.
Time passed slowly, and the whole day in Yangzhou City was discussing and rumoring about it, and it was not until it was almost evening that Guo Ye woke up and slept for a day.
As soon as he woke up, he washed up under Wu Xiuxiu's waiting, and then prepared to go to the dining room for dinner.
After dinner, the couple walked to the small garden in the backyard and took a walk.
Talking to each other, recalling some of the past events in Longxi, they were so affectionate that they let out a burst of cheerful laughter from time to time.
At this time, Liu Zhenxuan ran into the backyard of the yamen with black circles under his eyes and found Guo Ye.
When Guo Ye saw the other party, he was slightly excited in his heart, and said secretly, could it be that there is news from the Zhang family?
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Zhenxuan, come here." ”
When Liu Zhenxuan trotted to Guo Ye with a tired expression, Guo Ye couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" Your people are monitoring over Gujing Lane, what is wrong with the Zhang family? ”
Liu Zhenxuan glanced at Wu Xiuxiu, and stopped talking.
Wu Xiuxiulan was wise, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to resign from Guo Ye: "Husband, I'll go back to the room first, you and Liu Duwei will talk about business first." ”
With that, he turned around and left.
Guo Ye looked at Wu Xiuxiu's departing slender figure, secretly praised this woman's cleverness in his heart, turned back to Liu Zhenxuan and smiled: "Mysterious, Mrs. has left, you can say it." ”
Liu Zhenxuan smiled, and then whispered to Guo Ye: "Master Hou, something is wrong!" ”
Guo Ye's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Zhenxuan said: "Both the humble post and Chen Juncheng acted according to the instructions of the Hou Ye, and today there is also a lot of uproar in the city, which is quite noisy. However, there has been no movement on the Zhang family side of Gujing Lane, as if this matter has nothing to do with them. ”
Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What about Zhang Chengzong?" Isn't there any movement in this guy? ”
Liu Zhenxuan snorted and replied: "Yes, I took people to squat outside Gujing Alley for a day, and I didn't dare to slack off, not even a little nap." Not to mention the few old immortals of the Zhang family, even Zhang Chengzong's gang has never left Gujing Lane for half a step. ”
Suddenly, Guo Ye had doubts in his heart, crossed his hands on his chest, supported his chin with one hand, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Chengzong?" Otherwise, how could he possibly sit still? However, apart from Zhang Chengzong, who hates Xue Hao and his wife to the core, and has to put them to death? ”
Liu Zhenxuan sighed very dejectedly, and asked Guo Ye with dark circles under his eyes: "Master Hou, if it is really not Zhang Chengzong's doing, then what should we do next?" ”
