After staying at home for two days, Zheng Xunrui came to Nanjing.

Wang Xiaoer has already found an inn, according to Zheng Xunrui's requirements, don't look for the best inn, as long as the conditions are okay, the key is to be a little quieter, so as not to attract a lot of attention.

After settling down, Zheng Xunrui decided to go to the street to have a look, which was very busy Hong Xinyu, Wang Xiaoer, Su Manzi and others, they urgently discussed, the situation on the street is very complicated, and Zheng Xunrui's safety must be protected.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui knew what Hong Xinyu and the others thought, that is, to take a walk around the inn, and did not go to the most lively place, which made Hong Xinyu and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

At noon the next day, Zheng Xunrui came to the restaurant booked by Wang Xiaoer and directly entered the private room on the third floor.

The left and right sides of the private room were all wrapped up by Wang Xiaoer, and there were pro-soldiers on the first and second floors to eat, and even outside the restaurant, there were pro-soldiers who always paid attention to the movements around them.

Zheng Xunrui thinks that this arrangement is too careful, after all, this is Nanjing City, relatively speaking, the security is good, and those ruffians can't enter the private room of the restaurant to find trouble.

It is the time to eat, there are many guests in the restaurant, but the private room is very quiet, I can't hear any noisy sound, and the private rooms on the left and right are Zheng Xunrui's personal soldiers, and they will not make any noise.

Zheng Xunrui stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside, looking through the window, he could see the street, there were many people coming and going on the street, there were people who carried burdens and shouted for business, and there were also people who walked slowly past.

In the end, Nanjing, at a glance, is lively and prosperous.

When the door of the private room was pushed open, Zheng Xunrui did not look back.

"Is it Brother Huaidou?"

"Qingyang, when did you come to Nanjing?"

In Yang Tingshu's surprised voice, Zheng Xunrui slowly turned his body with a smile on his face.

"One is to go home and have a look. I haven't been home for seven years, and the second is to come to see you and see if you are very moisturized in Nanjing, these are all big things. Tell me, can't I come to Nanjing? ”

Yang Tingshu was very excited, he really didn't expect that Zheng Xunrui came to Nanjing, not just to go home and see him. As for what else is going on, there is no need to point it out.

The wine and food have been prepared for a long time, and it is very exquisite.

After the two sat down, Hong Xinyu retreated to the outside room to wait, and a banquet was also set up outside, where Hong Xinyu, Wang Xiaoer, Su Manzi and others dined.

After drinking a glass of wine, Yang Tingshu quickly spoke.

"Qingyang, I really didn't expect you to come to Nanjing, I have already inquired about the matter of the shopkeeper Xu. Two days ago, I found the little guy next to the shopkeeper Xu and asked him to take a look at the shopkeeper Xu, and everything was fine. ”

Zheng Xunrui's eyes were like torches, and when Yang Tingshu said these words, his expression was not particularly natural.

"Huaidou, what do you say, I've come to Nanjing, even if there is something, there is no need to hide it."

Yang Tingshu sighed.

"I was thinking of solving this problem on my own, and it shouldn't be a big deal. Unexpectedly, Lord Liu actually opened his mouth to inquire yesterday, saying that it was the matter of the Xu Fo family's collusion with the Liukou, which had caused a certain impact and must be arraigned. To figure out the reason for the matter, Lord Liu said it very well, but he also didn't believe that Shopkeeper Xu would collude with Liukou, after all, she was a woman in a green building, how could she have anything to do with Liukou, so she had to find out the reason as soon as possible. If Shopkeeper Xu doesn't have such a thing, he will also return his innocence. ”

A sneer appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"High-sounding, on the one hand, he said that the shopkeeper Xu was a woman in the Qinglou, and it was impossible to collude with the rogue, and on the other hand, he said that he would be arraigned, Liu Zongzhou has also been an official for many years, don't you know what is going on in the prison, besides, is he a dignified secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the counselor, he actually cares about such a thing, it is really strange, it seems that I did not come in vain this trip."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui suddenly thought of something.

"Huaidou, you just said that the little guy saw the shopkeeper Xu, what did the shopkeeper Xu say?"

When Zheng Xunrui asked this question, Yang Tingshu's face became ugly.

"I'll tell you the truth, the little guy has been missing for a few days, and I haven't seen it, the little guy is indeed the one I arranged to see the shopkeeper Xu, it is said that after leaving the Yingtian Mansion, he should come to me directly, but there has been no news, I specially sent someone to Shengze to inquire, it is said that after the little guy left, he did not go back."

Zheng Xunrui's face also changed.

"The little guy is missing, it's a little interesting, it seems that what you have done has been targeted, and people have already made preparations, I think anyone who sees the shopkeeper Xu will not have good fruit to eat."

"Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing."

"It's nothing, Nanjing is the world of the Donglin Party, although you are the head of the household, but there is no foundation here, people are doing it in the dark, you have no choice, okay, all the information you will master, explain it in detail."

Yang Tingshu nodded and began to tell in detail.

Zheng Xunrui listened very carefully, and after Yang Tingshu finished speaking, he immediately asked a question.

"You can be sure that when Shopkeeper Xu was imprisoned in the Shangyuan County Ya Prison, the person who was arraigned was the warden of the torture room."

"That's for sure, Lord Lin told me personally, when the people from the Tianfu Ya went to pick up the shopkeeper Xu, the warden was interrogating, and they took the person away directly from the warden's hands."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect things to be so complicated, Huaidou, what do you think of this matter."

"Before the disappearance of the little guy, I didn't pay special attention, the little guy disappeared, Lord Liu personally asked, which caught my attention, I feel that this is not simple, it is said that the shopkeeper Xu is fornicating, no one will believe it, this is a typical frame, I specifically asked, there have been such things before, but it is all to vent personal anger, and finally take out the money, everything can be settled, the matter of the shopkeeper Xu, I have already shot, it is said that there is no problem, who knows that this is not the case at all."

"Huaidou, if I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have paid much attention to it, but this confirms some of my judgments, but I still need to trace the source, but there are a few things that are almost certain."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Yang Tingshu's spirit quickly concentrated.

"The first point, Shopkeeper Xu must have been wronged, this is called unwarranted, put the charge on the head of Xu's family, let her be speechless, and in the end, Shopkeeper Xu has no chance to live."

"The second point, the other party is not targeting the shopkeeper Xu, the shopkeeper Xu is just a chess piece, no one will make a big move against the shopkeeper of a Qinglou, the other party must be thinking about implicating other people, as for who to implicate in the specifics, I don't know yet."

"The third point, the other party has made careful preparations, you have come forward, it is said that the other party should have stopped, I think in Nanjing, no one can openly deal with you, after you intervene, the other party still does not stop, and moved Liu Zongzhou, so that Liu Zongzhou has opened his mouth to talk about this matter, it can be seen that the other party is a ruin, and he will not give up if he does not achieve his goal."

Yang Tingshu nodded frequently, and after Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he immediately spoke.

"Qingyang, what you said is very reasonable, after your analysis, I think things are more complicated, think about it, I think the other party has spent so much energy to deal with Shopkeeper Xu, it may be aimed at you."

"There is such a possibility, but it needs to be verified, explore the reason, I will do these things, you are in the open, every move will be noticed, so in this matter, you should not interfere for the time being, but there is one thing that you still need to worry about, that is, to protect the safety of the shopkeeper Xu, and not let anyone touch a finger of the shopkeeper Xu."

Yang Tingshu looked at Zheng Xunrui, a little surprised, but still nodded.

"Brother Huaidou, it's not easy for you to come to Nanjing, this is the world of the Donglin Party, you can't get any support, if you want to do something, it's almost impossible, I suggested that you come to Nanjing, it's really embarrassing for you."

"Qingyang, don't talk about these things, I'm pretty good in Nanjing, I live a leisurely life, there are not many things, and the pressure is not very great, this kind of day is very good, I didn't think about it before, you don't have any guilt."

The two of them raised their glasses again and drank the next glass.

Putting down the wine glass, Yang Tingshu spoke again.

"This matter is already very complicated now, since Lord Liu has spoken, I think Lord Lin can't stand it, I'm afraid it won't be a long time, the people of Shangyuan County Ya will be arraigned for the shopkeeper Xu, this case was originally sponsored by the Shangyuan County Ya, it is impossible for Yingtianfu Ya to be tried directly, at that time, the outcome is not easy to say, if Shopkeeper Xu can't bear the torture and confess, then everything will be bad, what I can guarantee is that Shopkeeper Xu will not leave Yingtianfu Ya, even if it is arraigned, it will be in the Fuya."

"I know this, since the other party has made up his mind, he will definitely seize every opportunity, but unfortunately they don't know that I came to Nanjing, and if I want to succeed easily, I'm afraid it's not that simple, Huaidou, you just do what I say, protect the safety of the shopkeeper Xu, and I'll do the rest."

"Okay, but this is Nanjing, you must pay attention to safety."

Half an hour after Yang Tingshu left the private room, Zheng Xunrui slowly stood up.

Hong Xinyu, Wang Xiaoer and Su Manzi stood beside him.

"Wang Xiaoer, tonight, secretly seize the officials and wardens of the Shangyuan County Ya Punishment Room, and take all of them to the inn, and I will interrogate them personally."

"Su Manzi, go to Qinhuai River to inquire about the news, focus on the news about Xu's shopkeeper, and if you find out anything, you will investigate immediately."

"Hong Xinyu, go and contact the dark line in Nanjing, hand over this letter to them, and ask them to do what the letter requires." (To be continued.) )
