Chapter 230: The Mystery of the Dead
The next morning, when Li Yuntian pushed the door and entered Song Dashan and Wang Zhen's room, the two of them were lying on the ** and fell asleep, usually at this time they had already gotten up ** to serve Zhu Zhanji. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick. Read the website
Li Yuntian naturally knew that it was not that the two of them were snubbing him, but that Song Dashan and Wang Zhen had been smoked by those two thieves last night, and the guide was still sleeping soundly.
Although the three indiscriminate moves such as smoke, lime and croton cannot be put on the stage, especially by the officialdom, they are the three yankuai treasures that walk the rivers and lakes among the people.
Soon after Li Yuntian entered the door, Li Manshan also came, took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the lid and shook it a few times in front of Song Dashan and Wang Zhen's noses, and the two woke up leisurely.
The small bottle is filled with a strong pungent smell of medicine, which has a great relieving effect on the smoke, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen have already slept**, and the effect of the smoke has passed more than half, so they woke up quickly after smelling the smell in the small bottle.
"They took the baggage?" Song Dashan patted his somewhat drowsy head and glanced at the empty desktop next to the **, and looked up to ask Li Yuntian, last night he didn't notice when the two thieves blew smoke into the room.
"Go, get the innkeeper." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then ordered Li Manshan, who was standing on the side, that the two thieves had stolen Song Dashan and Wang Zhen who had saluted last night, and it was obvious that they had colluded with the people in the inn.
In fact, as he guessed, when Li Manshan followed the two thieves last night, he found that the two of them had met with a guy in the inn in the backyard, and the guy opened the door in the backyard and let the two out.
The innkeeper was taken aback when he learned that Li Yuntian and his party's luggage were stolen, he had worked in the inn for most of his life, and he had already practiced a pair of good eyesight, and at a glance he knew that Li Yuntian was a son of a rich and noble family, and now he had lost his luggage, and once he reported to the official, he would not be able to eat and walk around.
"This boss, my son-in-law doesn't want this matter to make a big fuss, as long as we can recover what we lost." Just when the innkeeper was sweating profusely, Song Dashan deliberately suppressed his throat and said quietly.
"Don't worry, you will do your best to find what you have stolen." The innkeeper felt that Song Dashan's voice had an indescribable weirdness, it seemed a little yin and yang, neither male nor female, but he didn't have time to think about it, and said with a smile on his face.
"Boss, those thieves don't steal and just attack the two of us, it seems that your store is not clean." Wang Zhen said with a calm face and a rough voice, "Maybe it's a black shop, it seems that the people from the Shandong Political Envoy Department have to check it out!" ”
"Everyone, it's funny, although this store is small, it is also a time-honored brand with decades of experience, how can it do those things. The fastest and most stable update dìng"
The innkeeper actually suspected that there were thieves in the store, otherwise how could those thieves steal so accurately, and specially looked for Song Dashan and Wang Zhen with luggage, and saw that Wang Zhen moved out of the Shandong Political Envoy Department violently, knowing that the origin of these people was really big, and quickly denied it.
"Whether or not you did those things will be known to the people in the yamen for the first trial." Wang Zhen sneered and said expressionlessly, with a posture of never giving up.
"That's it, check it out in the store first, if someone really eats inside and outside, I will definitely give you an explanation." The innkeeper secretly complained in his heart, he definitely didn't want to deal with the people in the yamen, and if he didn't do well, he would be blackmailed and bankrupt, so he wiped the sweat on his forehead and proposed a proposal with a smile on his face.
"Just according to your word." Wang Zhengang was about to open his mouth to object, but Li Yuntian said quietly, got up and returned to his room with Li Manshan.
Wang Zhen and Song Dashan hurriedly bowed to each other, their attitude was very respectful, and the innkeeper was frightened, the bigger this rule is, the bigger Li Yuntian's background is, of course, the more difficult it is to be good in this matter.
Back in the room, Li Yuntian lay leisurely on the ** and closed his eyes to rest, the innkeeper seems to be a shrewd person, it is not difficult to find out the inner ghost in the inn, he is here and waiting for the good news to come.
When it was close to noon, the innkeeper asked the guy in the store to drag a young man who was beaten all over his body and was wearing the clothes of the innkeeper into Li Yuntian's room.
After a morning of tossing, the innkeeper had found out that it was this young man's inner ghost, who was dragged into the water by the two gangsters in the town because of his greed for a while.
The two gangsters were famous scoundrels in Zhangzhuang Town, one named Zhang San and the other named Li Qi, and afterwards the young man divided a gold ingot and a silver ticket of one hundred taels, which he buried under a tree in the backyard of the inn, and was taken out by the innkeeper and returned to Li Yuntian.
The innkeeper had already sent someone to Zhang San and Li Qi's house, hoping to catch them and get back the stolen luggage to end the matter.
But it's a pity that the innkeeper's wish is good, but his people rushed to the house of Zhang San and Li Qi, and when they arrived at the house of Zhang San and Li Qi, they found that the two had packed their bags and fled overnight, and even their families didn't know where they went, so it seemed that they were going out to avoid the limelight.
At this time, the innkeeper suddenly sat on the wax, Zhang San and Li Qi fled overnight, indicating that they stole a lot of valuables, how could Li Yuntian and the others give up, it seems that he has settled this lawsuit.
However, to the surprise of the innkeeper, Li Yuntian and the others did not entangle after hearing that Zhang San and Li Qi had escaped, but hurriedly left the inn with the gold ingots and one hundred taels of silver tickets, heading to the direction of Jinan Mansion.
This made him confused, puzzled, and couldn't understand why Li Yuntian and his party left so bizarrely, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of looking for those lost items.
Originally, the innkeeper thought that this matter would be over temporarily, but in the afternoon, a shocking news came that Zhang San's body was found in the weeds on the side of the road, and according to his family, he did not know where the baggage containing a large amount of property had gone, as if it had been robbed.
Zhang San's family suspected that Li Qi killed him, because only Li Qi knew about Zhang San's escape last night, and it must have been Li Qi's intention to kill him when he saw his wealth.
Therefore, Zhang San's family sued Li Qi to Lizheng in the town, and by the way, they told the two of them about stealing things from the inn.
No one would have thought that the person who killed Zhang San would be Li Manshan, according to Li Yuntian's orders, Li Manshan followed Zhang San last night and killed him while he was escaping.
It shouldn't be, Zhang San shouldn't have been involved in this matter because of his wealth, being killed by Li Manshan is also a crime and deserved, how can royal things be so easy to steal?
Li Zheng saw that there was a murder case, and there was a theft incident inside, so he immediately took someone to Li Qi's house.
After some threats and intimidation, Li Qi's family knew that Li Qi's theft had been defeated, so in order to get rid of the crime, they handed over some of the stolen goods left by Li Qi, and they really didn't know where Li Qi went.
When he saw the stolen goods, Li Zheng was immediately stupid, because among the stolen goods there were not only exquisite tableware engraved with "Royal Imperial Goods" on the base, but also a set of dark yellow python robes.
This really startled him, and it was clear that the owner of these things was from a royal family.
Since Li Zheng has never seen a figure at the level of the Ming prince, he naturally can't tell the difference between the prince's python robe and the county king's python robe, and he doesn't know that the prince's python robe has some differences with the prince's python robe.
In the face of these valuable stolen goods in front of him, Li Zheng did not dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly reported the matter of the python robe and tableware to the county government to which Zhangzhuang Town belonged.
The next morning, the quiet town of Zhangzhuang resounded with the sound of messy horses' hooves, and dozens of fast horses galloped into the town and stopped in front of Lizheng's house.
Some of the knights on the horse were dressed in civilian clothes, some in the official uniform of the government officials, and some in the uniform of the army, and after knocking on the door, a young man with a stern expression walked in quickly.
Li Zheng heard the news and hurriedly got up**, the young man who was surrounded by people was naturally Zhu Zhantan, he heard that Zhang Zhuang Town found the python robe and ** tableware and brought people over to check overnight.
"Could it be the crown prince!" The python robe and other items were placed in Lizheng's house, Zhu Zhantan recognized the python robe as Zhu Zhanji's at a glance, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with a look of surprise, he had been guarding Jining Mansion for a long time and finally found the whereabouts of the prince.
Although there was a python robe, Zhu Zhantan was not at ease, and then sent everyone who had been in contact with Li Yuntian and his party for careful questioning.
From the mouths of the restaurant guys, innkeepers and others, Zhu Zhantan learned a lot of details, and he was already sure that the person who left Zhangzhuang Town in a hurry yesterday was Zhu Zhanji, and the two people who spoke in a weird way were undoubtedly the attendants beside Zhu Zhanji.
"Hmph, people are not as good as heaven, prince, it seems that you are destined to be like this." When it was determined that the person who appeared in Zhangzhuang Town was Zhu Zhanji, a smile of excitement suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhantan's mouth, as long as he chased and killed Zhu Zhanji, then the world would be his father Han King's.
"Someone, notify Governor Zhao and Commander Shi, and send troops to reinforcements, there must be no mistake!" Immediately, Zhu Zhanji groaned for a while and gave an order to one of his entourages in a loud voice.
In Zhu Zhantan's view, he has surrounded Jining Mansion to the ground, since Zhu Zhanji can't go north, then the only way is to take a detour, Jinan City is Zhu Zhanji's best choice.
Because Jinan City is not only the location of Jinan Mansion and Jinan Wei, but also the location of the Shandong Political Envoy Division, the Shandong Capital Division, and the Shandong Provincial Envoy Division, Zhu Zhanji can go there to ask for help from the Shandong Political Envoy, and the people from the Political Envoy Department will definitely escort him into Beijing.
Therefore, Zhu Zhantan wanted to stop Zhu Zhanji before he left Jining Mansion, the road to Jining Mansion had already been heavily guarded by him, and the passage to Jinan Mansion was naturally no exception, Zhu Zhanji and others would definitely be stopped by those checkpoints with foreign accents.
Zhu Zhantan was sure that Zhu Zhanji and his party would definitely not take the big road, in that case it would be too risky, and they would definitely take the small road to bypass the checkpoints he had set up in Jining Mansion, so he mobilized people to search, in his eyes Zhu Zhanji had become a turtle in the urn, and it was a matter of time before he was caught.
At the same time, Zhu Zhantan asked people to hurry forward to inform the various checkpoints along the way, and told the officers and soldiers guarding the cards about the appearance and characteristics of Zhu Zhanji and the others, and told them that as long as they were outsiders, they would all take them down and take off their pants for inspection, so that the two attendants beside Zhu Zhanji would have nowhere to hide.
He couldn't help but be glad that he had come early, Zhu Zhanji and his party had only left yesterday afternoon, and the checkpoints along the way had slowed down their speed, so it was impossible to leave the boundary of Jining Mansion, and it must still be on the ground of Jining Mansion, and now all he had to do was find it out.
With Zhu Zhantan's order, two-thirds of the Jining Prefecture officers and Jining Wei soldiers, who were heavily guarded at the wharf and other places, immediately rushed to Zhangzhuang Town, and carried out a strict blockade and search with Zhangzhuang Town as the center, causing all villages and towns to be unstable.
