Opened the curtain and walked out of the door of Weitai Restaurant, but saw that the heavy snow was blowing, sweeping with the wind in the vast night, there were a few snowflakes on Zhang Yuan's face, a little cold, staring at it, where the lantern light reached, it was a hazy white, it seemed that the snow had fallen for a while.

Jinyi Wei Baihu Zhen Zidan came out and said: "Zhang Xiu, I will find you a carriage to go." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "You don't have to look for a car, it's only three or four miles to go to Li Ge Old Hutong, and it doesn't take two minutes to walk, but you still have to ask Zhen Baihu to send a lieutenant to send it, otherwise it will be unjust to meet the city patrol wrestlers and arrest my master and servant as gangsters." ”

Zhen Zidan said with a smile: "Which person who is not long-eyed dares to be rude to the champion - let the humble post send Zhang Xiu a ride." "It's rare to have a chance to make friends with Zhuangyuan Gongpan, of course Zhen Zidan will not slack off, Zhang Xiushu is now a lecturer in the East Palace, and I am afraid that he will not be an old Zhang Ge in ten or twenty years.

The group put on a wide bamboo hat, braved the heavy snow to go to Shichang Street, just crossed West Chang'an Street, and heard the sound of dispute at the intersection of Shichang Street, Zhang Yuan's ear power was excellent, and he recognized the voice of the old servant Fu Cheng and the young Xue Tong, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Uncle Fu, Xue Tong, we are back." "When I got closer, I saw that Fu Cheng and Xue Tong were surrounded and interrogated by several city patrol wrestlers.

But it turned out that Shang Ran saw that Zhang Yuan didn't come back after the curfew drums sounded, so he asked Fu Cheng and Xue Tong to visit the Huitong Pavilion, Shang Tangran thought that even if he met the sergeant patrolling the city, Fu Cheng and Xue Tong were old and young and easy to talk to, and the two walked to Shichang Street and were stopped by the Jinyi Weili who patrolled the city, and the patrol Lux knew that the old alley of Li Ge was either Hanlin or the senior officials of the Sixth Ministry, and I heard that it was Zhang Zhuangyuan's family, but it was not difficult for Fu Cheng and Xue Tong, but they were not allowed to go out of the street-

Zhen Zidan kept sending Zhang Yuan's master and servant five people to the door of the courtyard, and Zhang Yuan invited Zhen Zidan to sit inside and drink a glass of hot wine. Under the heavy snowfall, Zhen Zidan faintly heard the voice of a woman talking in the courtyard, presumably the female dependents of Zhang Xiu's family were waiting for Zhang Xiu's return, so he said: "The hour is not early, I dare not disturb my humble position, if the case has a result tomorrow, I will report to Zhang Xiu again." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The shopkeeper surnamed Zhai and his partner Sun Erli must be weird, you guys are so curious." The scholars and mute attendants outside the Zhengyang Gate are even more key figures, and the credit for their capture is not small. ”

When Zhen Zidan heard this, his spirit was lifted: "That humble post also rushed to Zhengyang Gate." Bidding farewell to Zhang Yuan, he took a few Jinyi guards and strode to Zhengyangmen.

Zhang Yuan entered the gate of his golden pillar. Take off the bamboo hat and knock it lightly on the pillar, the snow on the hat falls in a slump, and smiles at the people who greeted the door: "Chaimen smells the dog barking, and the wind and snow return at night." ”

Shang Ran listened to Zhang Yuan's words easily. was relieved, and smiled at Wang Wei and Mu Zhenzhen: "Zhuangyuanlang turned around and scolded us-"

……

Jinyi Wei Baihu Zhen Zidan led a cadre of school captains to run out of Zhengyang Gate in the snow. At this time, it was already night, and a deputy commander surnamed Zhao of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division led three officials and sixteen errand officers, divided into four teams to visit the inns in the outer city of Zhengyangmen one by one. Only the outer city outside the Zhengyang Gate has built a city wall, and the other three sides have no city walls. The outer city from Zhengyangmen to Yongdingmen alone is not much smaller than the entire inner city, there are hundreds of inns, and this family knocks on the door to inquire about when to find out, and it is impossible to search the guests who live in the hotel one by one, you can only ask the shopkeeper and the guy, which may miss the business trip-

Zhen Zidan followed the commander surnamed Zhao to visit the two inns. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, turned around and left with the four captains. A lieutenant asked: "My lord, if we don't check, won't the credit go to the Soldiers and Horses?" ”

Zhen Zidan said: "These hundreds of inns, check them one by one, and you can't finish them until dawn, isn't the shopkeeper Zhai detained in Jinyiwei, wouldn't it be easy for him to open his mouth and say which inn it is." ”

The captain said: "Shopkeeper Zhai doesn't know where the scholar and the mute live. ”

Zhen Zidan said: "Look at the way Zhai Dongsheng and Sun Erli were asked by Zhang Xiu, if they say that there are no ghosts in their hearts, who will believe it?" It seems that such cunning criminals do not need to be punished, where can they be recruited. ”

Zhen Zidan returned to the Jinyi Wei Yamen on the west side of the Thousand Steps Corridor, and interrogated Zhai Dongsheng and Sun Erli respectively, Zhai Dongsheng bit the place where he didn't know where the "Tong Xiandi" fell, and endured the punishment of nailing his fingers, but Sun Erli was tortured, although the bamboo stick nailed fingers were flesh wounds, but the pain was extremely difficult, Sun Erli confessed that it was Zhai Shopkeeper who gave him twenty taels of silver, and asked him to instigate Du Ermao to deliberately quarrel with the North Koreans, and after Du Ermao came out, he called Du Ermao to the staircase room, and used the tray of the vegetable bowl to chop the back of Gui Ermao's head, After killing Du Ermao, he dragged him to the porch and shouted, and when the North Koreans came out of the room, he put the tray under the table in the room, and the shopkeeper Zhai promised to give him another sixty taels of silver after the matter was completed.

Zhen Zidan asked, "Why did Zhai Dongsheng frame those North Koreans?" ”

Sun Erli knelt on the cold brick floor, holding his hands in front of his chest like a monkey, his fingers hung down, painful, and replied: "Shopkeeper Zhai said that the Korean barbarian has an enmity with him, so Shopkeeper Zhai wants to take revenge." ”

Zhen Zidan asked again: "Do you know who the scholar with the mute attendant who drank with Shopkeeper Zhai in the evening?" Where do you live outside Zhengyangmen? ”

Sun Erli said: "The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know." "I'm afraid of being tortured again.

Sun Erli even admitted to killing people, and he would not hide anything for the scholar, Zhen Zidan asked: "What does that book look like?" ”

Sun Erli said: "It looks like a scholar, that is, that face is as red as Guan Wangye, the villain has seen the scholar twice, and I don't know if he has drunk too much, he is all red-faced." ”

This Sun Erli couldn't ask anything, Zhen Zidan asked Sun Erli to draw a charge on the confession, and immediately sent someone to Weitai Restaurant to search carefully, Sun Erli killed Du Ermao in the staircase room, there must be traces of blood stains and other traces in the small room, and evidence must be collected, at the same time, Zhen Zidan interrogated Zhai Dongsheng again, and read Sun Erli's confession to Zhai Dongsheng, Zhai Dongsheng immediately collapsed to the ground, and finally confessed: "The villain brothers are all in Fushun Kaimi Xing, and Kuandian Jurchen is doing business, at the beginning of this year, There is a white flag Jurchen named Ang Aba from Jianzhou, made an appointment to meet the three brothers of the villain, gave my three brothers some gold and jewelry and a few female slaves, and asked the villain to open a restaurant on Qipan Street in the capital. ”

Zhen Zidan was secretly happy in his heart, this Zhai Dongsheng turned out to be a spy of the old slave in Jianzhou, Zhang Xiushu was right, cracking this case was really a great achievement, and asked: "Is the scholar who drank in the secret room Ang Aba?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhai's answer was beyond Zhen Zidan's expectations, and Zhai Dongsheng replied: "It is Ang Abba who pretends to be dumb, because Ang Abba doesn't know how to speak our Ming official language." ”

Zhen Zidan asked, "Who is that scholar?" ”

Zhai shopkeeper said: "This villain doesn't know, that scholar must have a very high status among the Jurchens, otherwise how could Ang Abba act as his entourage, Ang Abba is the leader of the Jianzhou Nuzhen White Flag." ”

Nurhachi's improvement of the Eight Banners system was a matter of the forty-third year of Wanli, that is, last year, so Zhen Zidan didn't know about the Eight Banners system of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and he didn't know what status the Zhengbai Flag Leader was equivalent to, but Zhen Zidan knew that the merit of capturing a Jianzhou female real White Flag Leader was definitely not small, not to mention that there was a scholar whose status might be higher than that of Ang Abba-

Zhen Zidan asked: "Which inn do Ang Abba and the red-faced scholar live in outside Zhengyangmen?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhai kowtowed and said: "The villain really doesn't know, I only know that they live outside Zhengyang Gate, whether they live in a guest house or rent a private house, Ang Abba didn't tell the villain." ”

This should be true, the red-faced scholar and Ang Aba don't trust this Zhai shopkeeper very much, it's normal to hide their residence to protect themselves, if those two Jurchen spies are not staying in a guest house but renting someone else's empty room, then the problem is big, the outer city from Zhengyangmen to Yongdingmen is forty miles long, with a population of millions, how to search for two strangers?

Zhen Zidan was waiting to search for the general flag of Jinyi Wei of Weitai Restaurant to come back, and opened the curtain to see that the snowflakes flying in the sky like white butterflies gathered down, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

After waiting for another half an hour, the chief flag officer came back and reported to Zhen Baihu that he really found blood stains in the stairwell on the second floor of Weitai Restaurant, and found two ingots of ten taels of silver from Sun Erli's residence, and the rest were some broken silver and copper coins, and the residence of the shopkeeper Zhai found two hundred taels of gold, fifty Liaodong pearls, more than three thousand taels of silver, and some other treasures.

Zhen Zidan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to embezzle this batch of gold and silver wealth, Zongqi was his henchman, but he was the henchman of Wang Mingshi of Fusi Qianhu in Jinyi Weibei Town, this case involved Dongyu's spies, not his small Jinyi Wei Baihu could monopolize the credit, so Zhen Zidan went to see Wang Mingshi overnight-

Wang Mingshi is born in Wu Zhuangyuan, fifty years old this year, listening to Zhen Zidan tell the facts of the case, Qu Ran said: "Zhengbai Banner is owned by Nurhachi's eighth son, Hei Huanbeile, and the leader is Niu Lu Ezhen, who commands three hundred sergeants, and has a very high status among the Jurchens. ”

Wang Mingshi immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to immediately dispatch sergeants to assist Jinyiwei in searching the outer city of Zhengyangmen, and at the same time blocked the five gates of Yongding, Zuo'an, You'an, Guangqu, and Guang'an, and let the alleys and alleys in the outer city strictly check the Chinese and foreign residents of the fang, and be sure to find the red-faced scholar and his retinue who pretended to be deaf and dumb.
