Zhao Xiong saw that something was wrong, and didn't dare to continue to sprinkle, and the city lord was puzzled, "Something happened to your family, you didn't go to the yamen to report the case, what did you come to me for?" ”

Zhao Xiong was stunned for a moment, and his feelings were all in vain just now, "But the yamen is Lu Ren...... I suspect it's the Lu family......"

"Huh? How dare you doubt the imperial court? The city lord was furious, Zhao Xiong was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, so he could only hunch his body and keep retreating, and he took several steps back before he felt less pressure.

The city lord breathed rapidly, and Zhao Xiong, who was breathing heavily, didn't dare to breathe, just when he couldn't hold it anymore, the city lord finally stabilized his emotions, "I heard that it was the Lu family who desperately rescued you, and only then did you save your son's life, you still suspect Lu Ren?" ”

"I doubt?" Although Zhao Xiong pointed at himself, he felt like he was accusing the city lord of being a big fool, and he couldn't see through such a simple plan.

Realizing that his tone was wrong, Zhao Xiong barely controlled his emotions, and said in a sad voice, "This is clearly the Lu family's treacherous plan, those who beat my son are definitely the craftsmen of the Lu family, they are taking revenge!" ”

The city lord sneered, "Revenge? What revenge? What enmity do you have between you? ”

"Of course it's ......" Zhao Xiong suddenly stopped talking, and if he said more, Zhao Gongzi was about to change from a victim to a heinous murderer, detaining and injuring dozens of people without permission, the circumstances were extremely bad, and this practice was no different from banditry, and the Zhao family couldn't afford such a big crime.

The city lord felt that it was okay to beat, after all, the Zhao family would still be useful in the future, "Okay, don't say anything, let Lu Ren investigate this matter, no matter what the result is, don't come to me again." ”

As soon as Zhao Xiong heard that it was going to be bad, he didn't dare to continue to touch his head, in case he really angered the city lord, then his Zhao family's backer would be gone, "Zhao Xiong retired, uh, there are powerful craftsmen in the blacksmith shop, and it is expected that this year's weapons and equipment can be completed a month earlier." ”

The city lord lowered his head and said "um" softly, Zhao Xiong was happy in his heart, and his steps to leave were much brisker, he was secretly proud in his heart, as long as the Zhao family has been useful, he didn't worry about the city lord ignoring him, and he didn't notice the city lord's eyes looking at his back.

Confused? Indissoluble? Wrath? Or is it disappointment?

"Go home, let go and run, don't be afraid of hurting people!" Out of the city lord's mansion, Zhao Xiong jumped into a carriage, so instructed, the coachman has served in the Zhao family for many years, listened to his words and threw two whips on the horse's buttocks, the horse neighed, and took the carriage all the way on a rampage.

Zhao Xiong had to hold the car door to ensure that he was not injured, but he didn't feel fast enough, and urged again and again, just like he said, he didn't even care if he hit someone......

Dr. Sun said first, saying that this time Zhao Gongzi was seriously injured and needed to rest in bed for a long time, and he must not move during this period.

If the complaint fails, Zhao Xiong's mind is full of rushing home as soon as possible, no one in the entire Zhao family except him can suppress Zhao Gongzi, in case Zhao Gongzi can't help but move, and then leave any sequelae, it will be bad!

Doctor Sun said that if he is injured for the second time, he can't help it, he will lose his arms and arms, and he will break his legs and legs, and he will only be paralyzed on the bed in the future, but fortunately, Zhao Gongzi also knows the severity and guarantees that he will never move, otherwise Zhao Xiong will not dare to leave a step.

…………

Zhao family.

Not long after Zhao Xiong arrived home, the arrest of a yamen was about to come, Lu Ren was worthy of being a cadre, and the investigation results came out on the same day, saying that it was a group of thieves who beat Zhao Gongzi in disguise, and the murderer is now on the run, and the yamen is making every effort to arrest him, and said that he will definitely give an explanation to the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiong got the paperwork and went completely crazy, tore it to pieces on the spot, and beat the catcher who came to deliver the letter, the catcher pretended to be beaten very badly, and he was screaming the whole time, and the sound was so loud that the whole street could hear it.

Then a bunch of neighbors came out to see the excitement, how arrogant the Zhao family's doorman was, he was also very uncomfortable, and quickly closed the door and entered the Zhao Mansion, shrinking his head like a turtle.

What about the catcher? Along the way, he hugged his arms and hummed, and gained a lot of sympathetic eyes, but as soon as he turned the corner of the street, this guy dismantled all the planks that had been tied to his body in advance, "It's still the fourth son who is thoughtful, and he actually knows that the Zhao family wants to beat people." ”

"It's so ruthless, the planks are cracked, and I don't know if those few family members have sore hands, hehe, think about it, I really sweat for them, I can't do it if I don't work hard, I can't work hard, it's miserable!"

Looking at the plank, he kept complaining just now, and it immediately became an injury, he covered his chest with one hand and held the plank with the other, "Oh, no, I'm also injured, my chest hurts, I have to rub medicine when I go back, and I have to take sick leave." ”

Fraud? Don't you see this plank that doesn't exist? This piece is cracked, this is the evidence, Lu Xingjiao said, the case has to be handled by evidence.

That night, Zhao Xiong asked the housekeeper to call the shopkeepers of more than a dozen shops of the Zhao family, and they discussed in front of Zhao Gongzi's bed, and this discussion was overnight.

There are also secret talks on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, and the only participants are the City Lord and the housekeeper.

The housekeeper put some files on the desk and complained, "Master, when Zhao Xiong left, he hurt people on his horse, and he was injured and bruised several times, and the people were complaining." ”

The city lord pursed his lips, didn't say anything, flipped through the file with a brush in his hand, and finished reading it in a short time, and put it aside casually, "The Lu family is looking for the Zhao family's stubble." ”

The housekeeper brought hot tea, "It's not unusual, peers are enemies." ”

The city lord moistened his throat with warm and moderate tea, and then said, "Well, the Lu family's Tian Workshop has been built, and the biggest competitor is the Zhao family, if they don't fight, I will even feel strange, hahaha, the capital is no different." ”

"The master is wise, but the old slave thinks that they are not as simple as fighting, looking at the Lu family's posture, they want to destroy the Zhao family."

The city lord was slightly stunned, "Huh? ”

The housekeeper walked forward and knelt down at the table, flipped through the table, and picked out a file, which recorded the beginning and end of the Li dogleg incident, and even had a confession. ”

The housekeeper was not surprised at all, otherwise he wouldn't have added fuel and vinegar just now, and deliberately mentioned Zhao Xiong's injuring of people, "Master, there is one more thing, promise the Lu family's iron ingot?" ”

The city lord waved his hand dissatisfiedly and poured all the tea down, "Send it, send it quickly, it's really troublesome, if they don't stay for a few years, I can't wait to ......"

The housekeeper smiled, knowing that this was the master's angry words, and sending the iron ingot made him feel distressed, trimming the wick, the room was a little brighter, and the housekeeper squinted his eyes and stood quietly on the side, guarding the city lord.

The city lord continued to look through the file, this time he looked at it carefully and in detail, the records in the file were all the major events that had happened in the city recently, not only the Lu family and the Zhao family, but also the entire Xuanwu City that could be called famous, and each one by one was very valuable for research.
