Xu Liang returned to the signing room, becoming more and more uneasy.

He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan must be secretly tracking down something, but what it is, Xu Liang is not clear at all. It's a bad feeling. Now the entire Jianchang County Yaer Hall is guarded by the officers and soldiers of Nankang Mansion, and it is impossible to secretly send people in to check it out.

This feeling of being on his back made Xu Liang even more restless. He sat down for a while, then asked Wang Zhixian for leave, and took his own soldiers straight to the patrol camp.

The rejecting deer and horses at the gate of the patrol camp had already been cleared, and a group of soldiers with spears were guarding the gate of the camp. Xu Liang's carriage rushed into the camp.

Huang Ziren, the deputy envoy of patrol, was trying on his new suit of armor at the moment, and two soldiers helped him to drape it neatly, and Huang Ziren was looking left and right at a standing bronze mirror.

Seeing Xu Liang come in, Huang Ziren stood in front of Xu Liang with a loud voice, the armor pieces on his body bumped and rattled, Huang Ziren grinned and said: "Big brother, look at it, brother, how about my equipment that has been tested from six grades to hundreds of households?" It's majestic enough, but it's sunk a little. ”

Xu Liang glanced at it and asked, "Have you done what you did with Yu Yongnian?" ”

"That's it." Huang Ziren said: "Although the grandson is greedy and ruthless, he is also reliable, this time he got two trial hundred households, two general flags, and four small flags with the hereditary officer ranks, hehe, this silver is not unjustly spent." ”

Xu Liang nodded, looked at Huang Ziren's armor again, waved his hand and said, "Okay, take it off, you don't feel too tired to panic." ”

Huang Ziren smiled, took off his helmet first, and when he was about to untie his armor, he called out to the two soldiers on the side: "Eh, you two know where the light is standing, come and help General Ben, unbutton it!" ”

After Huang Ziren changed into his regular clothes, Xu Liang asked anxiously, "How about the things I asked you to check in the morning?" ”

"Well, don't mention it." When Huang Ziren heard this, he lowered his face and said: "Zhang Zhendong's old thing may have heard something, I let people stare at Zhang's mansion all day, and that old thing didn't go out, so it's not easy for us to start." I want to wait until it gets dark and just take someone in. ”

"It's too late in the evening." Xu Liang said, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Bring all the people, follow me to find him." ”

"Ah, okay" Huang Ziren rubbed his hands, "Grandma's, I have long wanted to bring someone to rush in." ”

"Rush in?" Xu Liang was surprised: "What are you doing rushing in?" He Zhang Zhendong is a man with a head and a face in Jianchang County, so let's just lead people to rush in? And then what? Murder or arson? ”

"Uh, what do you mean, big brother? How can you arrest someone if you don't rush in? Huang Ziren said stunned.

"I'm the chief bookkeeper of Jianchang, of course, I posted a post to visit President Zhang, as for you, take a hundred people to copy the painting boats on the Jianchang River to me, the crime, saying to arrest the fugitives." Xu Liang said quietly.

"Uh, big brother, what are we going to do?" Huang Ziren was puzzled.

"The first is to find out what He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan did on the painting boat that day, and second, to remind the people on the ground in Jianchang, so that they know that Master Ben doesn't like them to get too close to the people of Nankang Mansion."

Xu Liang took a carriage and rushed to Zhang's mansion, but was stopped by Hu Xiaoyong, the sentry officer of the patrol battalion who was rushing back to report the news. When Hu Xiaoyong heard that Xu Liang was going to visit Zhang Zhendong, the president of the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce, he shook his head and said, "My lord, you don't have to go, Zhang Zhendong is not in Zhang's mansion at all." ”

Xu Liang exclaimed: "What's the matter? ”

"Hey, we're all looking away." Hu Sentinel looked indignant and said: "Deputy Envoy Huang and his subordinates thought that Zhang Zhendong stayed in Zhangfu and never went out, and later his subordinates felt that it was wrong, and it happened that there were a few fellow villagers in his subordinate village who were working in Zhang's mansion, so they asked them to help check the situation. ”

"Official?" As soon as Xu Liang heard it, he immediately understood what was going on, it must have been He Hong and the others who asked Zhang Zhendong to confess something and hid Zhang Zhendong again.

Xu Liang jumped up and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole patrol battalion will be dispatched, the whole city will search for Zhang Zhendong, once discovered, arrest immediately, if there is any obstruction, kill him!" ”

"Yes." After receiving the order, the sentry officer led the people to the patrol camp and gathered the men.

Zhang Zhendong is really not in Zhang's mansion. Xu Liang brought a team of people, before and after, he almost turned Zhang's mansion over, but still did not find Zhang Zhendong's whereabouts, when he left, the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion chased him to the gate and shouted: "When my lord returns to the house, I have to go to Nankang Mansion to sue you!" ”

Xu Liang was suddenly angry, and went back before leaving, and ordered people to take all the wives and concubines inside and outside Zhang's mansion, as well as the people of the family, and put them in the prison of the patrol camp. He returned to the county government and reported to Wang Zhixian that he had found that Zhang Zhendong had colluded with bandits, and that he had now absconded in fear of crime, and asked the whole city to search for Zhang Zhendong.

Now that the two officials of Nankang Mansion are in the county office, He Tong and Hong Tuiguan, how dare Wang Zhixian be the master, so he pulled Xu Liang in shock and went to report the situation to He Hong and the others in the second hall.

He Tongju didn't look a little surprised, and he pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "I don't know whether President Zhang colluded with the bandits, but President Zhang will never abscond in fear of crime, and now the official is looking for him to ask about something, because President Zhang has always been by the official's side." ”

Wang Zhixian was stunned, and guessed that He Tongju was investigating the case again, so he didn't want to interfere anymore, and suddenly realized that he was laughing: "It turns out that Chairman Zhang asked Lord He to summon him, which is really surprising, since President Zhang did not flee, then it will be easy to do." Saying that, Wang Zhixian turned to Xu Liang again and said, "Lord Xu, according to this county, after Lord He finishes asking, you can go to President Zhang to verify, but don't wronged a good person." ”

Xu Liang said yes again and again, and asked He Tongju for instructions: "My lord, now that this Zhang Zhendong is here, can you let the lower official meet with him and verify his collusion with the bandits, cough cough, don't hide it, in order to be safe, the lower official has asked someone to take President Zhang's family, and now he is locked up in the prison of the patrol camp, this, find out the facts earlier, and it is better to clear the suspicion for President Zhang earlier, do you say yes?" ”

He Tongju looked at Xu Liang playfully, and at the end of the sneer, he said, "Lord Xu is right. However, the matter that the official asked Chairman Zhang about was very urgent, and Chairman Zhang's suspicion was not bad at this time, so his family might as well be locked up first, and it would not hurt to review it after Chairman Zhang returned. ”

Xu Liang saw that He Tongjuan had a sinister look, and guessed that He Tongjuan would not agree, and he was afraid that He Tongjuan would turn his face immediately, so he had to withdraw.

Out of the second hall of the county ya, Xu Liang looked at the house of the county government while walking to the signing room, Xu Liang had not carefully looked at the building of the county government before, now it seems that although the Jianchang county government is small, but the main hall, the second hall, the front hall, the two wings of the wings, the front and back across the courtyard, there are hundreds of houses. Now the second hall is guarded by the officers and soldiers of Nankang Mansion, and there are forty or fifty houses within the second hall, so it is too easy to hide a person.

As soon as Yan Qiyi saw Xu Liang, the first thing Xu Liang said was: "Is there a way to arrange for someone to enter the second hall?" ”

Yan Zhutou thought for a while and said, "Although Ertang doesn't let our people come and go at will, they always have to eat. Three meals a day were delivered by the brothers in the soap class. ”

Xu Liang nodded and said: "Let the brothers of the soap class pay attention, I suspect that Zhang Zhendong is under house arrest inside, trying to bring a message to this old boy." ”

"What?"

"Well," Xu Liang thought for a while and said, "Just say that his wife and children are in our hands, let him speak carefully." ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Yan Qi arched his hand.

In the evening, Huang Ziren, the deputy patrol envoy who was in charge of checking several painting boats on the Jianchang River, asked people to bring back bad news.

On that day, Ho and Hong stayed late on one of the painting boats, and when they left, they took two Kabuki with them. But it wasn't clear who the kabuki was.

Xu Liang was furious, and almost roared out: "Check it out!" ”

Late at night, Ah Feng of the Liang Ji Security Department brought back a playful man.

"Young master, this kid knows where those two kataka came from." Ah Feng reported.

"Tell me, who are those two?" Xu Liang asked urgently.

Splashing skin but not in a hurry, holding the shelf, waiting for the price to sell, snorting, squinting his eyelids, and said: "Feng Ye said that if the small one is said, the prince will give a lot of reward." ”

"Not bad." Xu Liang nodded, agreed, and asked, "As long as what you say is true, we can discuss how much silver." ”

Splashy stretched out a slap, stretched out five fingers, and said, "I want at least this number." ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "No problem, Ah Jian, give him fifty taels of silver." ”

Fifty taels of silver tickets were stuffed in his hand, his eyes were straight, and he swallowed and spitted: "The kabuki taken away by the two officials, the little one is really real, it is the third lady and her maidservant of Second Master Tan's family in the past. ”

"Are you sure?" Xu Liang was shocked and asked again.

"You can't be wrong." "In the past, the little one lived at the mouth of the alley of the second master Tan's house, and I have seen the third lady of the Tan family a few times, the girls who are smart and smart, they can get out of the water when they pinch it, and the little one must not forget it after taking a glance." ”

Although Xu Liang didn't see it in person, he already believed it when he heard this. After sending the splash out, he fell into deep thought.

Splashing hummed an unknown song out of the Xu Mansion compound, and when he walked out of Dongmen Street, he slapped himself fiercely again, scolding: "You are fucking poor for a day, and when you meet such a generous lord, you don't know how to stretch out two hands and ten fingers?!" ”
