Chapter Twenty-Eight: Return to Beijing
"Are you sure the lady will sprinkle this powder under her father-in-law's shoes?" Chu Yunze still had some doubts about Du Heng's plan.
Not to mention whether this will arouse the suspicion of the lady? Besides, even if that lady has no brains, it is impossible for people to put the medicine powder under her father-in-law's shoes for no reason.
Hearing Chu Yunze's question, Du Heng looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Naturally, you don't believe in this ghost and god's chaotic force, so you never believe in this thing." But that lady was different, that lady was different, she believed in metaphysics in her bones, and I had calculated for her several times that the phenomena I said had happened, so she had no more doubts about what I said. ”
Chu Yunze subconsciously touched his chin, what kind of ability does this ghost and god have to stand up.
It's like some people believe in Confucianism, and some people believe in Taoism. A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom. Only with ideological progress can the whole country progress. ”
Du Heng didn't know how to continue to explain to Chu Yunze, and in the end he had no choice but to say these few words. After all, this guy doesn't really believe in these metaphysics either. So we can only make a metaphor with him from these cultures.
Here's another packet of powder, all you need to do is have your own men sprinkle it all over the city. When he passes, the mixture of the two powders will glow in the night sky, so you can serve it in one pot. Now you can go back to the errand. ”
Du Heng smiled slyly and took out a pack of powder from his waist: "You have to put this thing away, I only have the last pack of this thing on me now, if you lose this task, you will mess it up." ”
Chu Yunze took the packet of powder in Du Heng's hand and watched quietly, not knowing what he was feeling in his heart, and only looked up after a long time. There was a touch of firmness in his eyes: "Thank you." ”
Du Heng didn't pay much attention to these etiquettes, and replied casually: "It's not much of a problem." ”
At night, the group of guards under Chu Yunze had already sprinkled the packets of medicinal powder all over the city.
And the Li family in the south of the city, the secret guards with strong martial arts obeyed the orders of their masters, and secretly guarded the trees, staring at every move that happened in this mansion.
Sure enough, that Master Li slipped out of his family's mansion quietly through the small door in the backyard.
Then Master Li was very cautious and saw that there was no one on the left or right, so he dared to set off. With a lantern in his hand, he walked lightly, turning his head from time to time, for fear of being discovered.
I have to say that Master Li is too cautious.
After Master Li walked a distance, Du Heng appeared in the backyard of Li's house in the south of the city, looked at the glittering one on the road, smiled lightly, and continued to move forward with a few guards.
This group of officials involved in the case is too cunning to keep things in such a deep place. After walking around the eight rings for a long time, I finally saw the inconspicuous grass house.
But the little grass houses seen in this barren mountain and wilderness seem to have some secrets.
If it were an ordinary family, how could anyone build a small grass house in the barren mountains and mountains, where people can't see bones?
Du Heng gently signaled the guards beside him to be silent with a look of his eyes, and walked slowly and slowly. Hearing the movement in the hut, he still didn't move, just leaned under the window and listened carefully to what was being said.
"It's really hateful, someone was caught, fortunately he was hard-skinned and didn't confess to us, otherwise we would not have escaped death now." Master Li slapped the table fiercely, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
I don't know whose voice sounded a little sharp, making people extremely uncomfortable to listen to: "What's this?" However, it is good that our most critical evidence has not been searched by them. Who would have thought that thing was hidden under the bed in this grass hut? ”
After saying that, the man couldn't help laughing again, Du Heng heard what the man said, he had an idea in his heart, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but suppressed it.
With a glance, he directly led the guards to break through the door.
The group of people looked at the guards who suddenly appeared in front of them, and their bodies were about to shake into a sieve, and they were all frightened and panicked.
"Come on, arrest all these people. I can't let go of a single detail when I search this hut carefully. ”
At this most critical moment, Chu Yunze came over.
Looking at the few people sitting at this table, the coldness in his eyes was not hidden, and he directly appeared on his body.
I didn't expect these officials, who seemed to be honest on weekdays, to do such a thing in private, and really failed the emperor's expectations of them.
"Rao...... Spare me, I'm just confused this time......" One of the adults was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and knelt directly on the ground, his body trembling, and his eyes were full of tears.
Chu Yunze was even more disgusted when he saw his cozy appearance.
"Bring them all back to me, and torture them carefully!" A single order brought their final fate to justice.
Du Heng saw this scene and smiled. And he remembered what some of them had said. So he went to the back room, and found the two ledgers under the tattered bed.
After opening the ledger and seeing what was written inside, Du Heng's face turned pale.
I didn't expect to embezzle so many silver taels and collect so many people's fat and ointment from those people.
Seeing this, Du Heng was so angry that he trembled, and directly threw the account book in front of Chu Yunze: "You take a good look at the contents of these account books." ”
After reading the contents of these account books, Chu Yunze laughed instead: "I didn't expect that your lords are such a good means, so go to the prison and play your role well." ”
His hand was clutching the ledger tightly, almost deforming it.
"What are you going to do now?" Back in the house, Du Heng made Chu Yunze a cup of good Longjing, and seemed to ask casually.
Chu Yunze took a sip lightly, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.
"These people are really bold, they didn't expect to embezzle so many silver taels, this time they are about to peel off a layer of skin if they don't die."
Chu Yunze clenched the cup tightly, and spoke again: "If there is no accident for those accomplice officials, they should be sent to exile in the frontier land." And the main culprit is waiting for the Holy Lord to personally ask and behead. ”
"You want to go back to Beijing too?" Somehow, Du Heng opened his mouth to ask this question. After asking this question, I realized that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed, I was out to investigate the case, but now that the case has been investigated, I think I will return to Beijing.
"Naturally, I personally took care of these prisoners and escorted them back to Beijing. However, you have done a good job in assisting in the investigation of the case, and I will also fulfill my promise. ”
Hearing this, Du Heng's heart couldn't help but be smeared with a touch of joy.
"You don't have to be too happy, I just said that I would take care of your business, not that I would carry your business forward." Seeing her look so happy, Chu Yunze couldn't help but reveal a trace of heat in his heart, but he still had that cold expression on his face, and he poured cold water on his mouth.
"That's no problem, as long as you are willing to protect my business and take care of my business, with my own ability, how can I not carry my store forward?"
Du Heng has a full grasp of her pharmacy, and this time she can finally turn over.
When I think of this, I am even more happy.
"By the way, this jade pendant should be regarded as a reward for you." Chu Yunze took out a jade pendant from his waist and threw it directly into Du Heng's hands.
Du Heng looked at the jade pendant and was a little puzzled.
What does this guy do with his jade pendant for no reason?
As if sensing the problem in Du Heng's heart, Chu Yunze unconsciously knocked on the table with his fingers: "I'm not here, naturally I can't protect you all the time, this jade pendant can come to the capital to find me at any time when you encounter a major problem." If you take out this jade pendant, I can help you solve any problem. ”
Hearing this, Du Heng seemed to feel that this jade pendant was like a treasure, and he originally planned to sell this jade pendant in his heart, but now he has eliminated this idea.
This is a treasure, maybe it will be used in the future......
Thinking of this, Du Heng hung the jade pendant directly on his waist.
Chu Yunze saw that Du Heng had the jade pendant that belonged to him hanging from his waist, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"When the time comes, there really is something that can't be solved, but I will take the jade pendant to you at any time."
"But it's disrespectful."
Within a few days, Chu Yunze took this group of officials to sit in the prison car and set off directly in the direction of the capital.
"Zhao Da, who has recently come to our county, is really a good official! Recently, those ruffians and hooligans who have been idle all day long on the street have been arrested by Lord Zhao as coolies these days. ”
A woman on the street looks at the new look. I couldn't help but feel a little comforted in my heart.
"No, although this Lord Zhao took them to work as coolies, he would also give them a few copper coins every day for labor expenses. Those ruffians are happy in their hearts now, and they can't wait for Lord Zhao to take them to work as coolies every day. ”
Du Heng walked to the street, and when he heard what these others said, he felt a little comforted in his heart.
This newcomer Zhao is indeed good, he is clear-eyed, and his sleeves are clean.
The most important thing is to take care of her, but you don't have to think about it to know who is behind the scenes, and you can tell the adult to take good care of yourself.
Thinking of this, Du Heng smiled.
