Chapter 040: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger
Changying stepped into the threshold of Zhifeng Hall, and just happened to meet Cheng Mei coming out of Cheng Xiao's study.
The two met under the corridor, Cheng Mei pursed her lips and bent her knees, and hung her head and left without speaking.
"General Shen is here?"
Changying's gaze withdrew from Cheng Mei, and saw that Cheng Xiao had just stepped out of the threshold, and was greeting him with a smile under the corridor.
"Lord Cheng is early."
Changying walked over, glanced at the flowers he kept under the porch under the door, and said with a smile: "My lord seems to be a flower lover, and every time I come over, these flowers are taken care of." ”
Cheng Xiao smiled: "Vassal elegance, vassal elegance!" The general came over so early, is there something wrong? ”
"It's okay," Changying withdrew her gaze from the orchid and smiled, "I just passed by the door, come in and have a cup of tea with an adult." ”
……
Last night, Du gradually met with Xie Peng, and then went back to the tavern to drink with Yang Chan and them until they had a good time before returning home.
After returning home, Yang Chan also played a drunken mania, and then he didn't say anything all night.
The focus of Cheng Xiao's defense is Shen Changying, and he may not have been taken seriously by him who has never caught the handle.
But judging from the situation of the pit he set up the night before, it is difficult to say that he is still at ease.
The drizzle had fallen intermittently overnight, and by the morning had stopped, and the morning sun loomed behind the clouds, and the sky looked exceptionally bright, illuminating the plane tree sticking out of the wall in Changyunxuan with oil and spirit.
"Boss, why don't you go to breakfast with Yang Tou'er?"
Passing by the small garden, the guards greeted him from afar.
He responded, still walking unhurriedly along the path among the flowers.
Before dawn, Xie Peng had already passed the news that the two boats in Zhenhai Town on the other side of the dock had indeed moved a little in the past two days, and he also went to their helm to make sure that the news that Feng Shaoqing brought back was true.
The amount of official silver hidden in their treasury is staggering, and there are indeed people suspected of being around Cheng Xiao in the bow of the ship recently.
He followed Cheng Xiao for three months, and he didn't find out that Cheng Xiao had collusion with the Zhenhai Gang in private, but let Shen Changying, a newcomer, find out......
In the end, he asked Xie Peng to visit the Zhenhai Gang and the Dongying people again, thinking that there would be news in the next day.
He just happened to see Cheng Xiao and Shen Changying talking while coming out of the childish wind hall, and he subconsciously avoided behind the bamboo forest.
Last night, it was confirmed from the woman's mouth that she was Shen Ying, and she tossed and turned a few times at night before falling asleep.
Now there is no suspense about her life experience, but is she Shen Linlang...... Tong Qi has been gone for three days, so it stands to reason that he should come back today anyway?
Forget it, whether she has any trouble hurting others, what does it matter to him in the end? The Ling family is not incapable of revenge.
The wicked have their own harvest, if she is really a wolf, then Ling Yuan will definitely not let her go, and after the matter is done, he will part ways with her from then on, and he can't make any sense of anger for an irrelevant her.
Thinking of this, he glanced back and quietly walked to the side door.
Changying and Cheng Xiao parted ways at the gate of the courtyard, one went to the front yamen, and the other walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around, and after looking at it twice, he quietly jumped up the tree again......
Du gradually met Xie Peng in the tavern opposite the yamen.
"One of the two boats is to dock at midnight tonight, and the other is at midnight. There are no signs of anything particularly noticeable from the Zhenhai Gang, but I don't think they will miss the opportunity tonight.
"Because it would be at least two months before the two boats went away.
"However, it is difficult to say whether Cheng Xiao will be there or not. After all, there is no evidence to prove that this official silver is definitely from Cheng Xiao's hands. ”
"If there is evidence, is there still a need for an ambush?" Du gradually peeled a walnut and said, "Shen Changying's people are also at the dock, have you seen it?" ”
"Just the fifth child of the Feng family?" Xie Peng chuckled, and then looked at him: "I heard that Tong Qi went back?" Do you really think Shen Changying is your daughter-in-law? ”
Du gradually leaned back in his chair and lifted his legs onto the table, looking at the two crows on the opposite roof, chewing nuts on the ground.
Xie Peng teased his eyes: "Speak." ”
"Nope." He said.
He doesn't have such a heartless daughter-in-law.
After speaking, he picked up the walnut plate, pinched and ate them one by one, and then said: "If there is an accident on the dock, you can cooperate with Feng Shaoqing and them."
"After all, they still have Nankangwei to reinforce them. I was staring at Cheng Xiao in the house, and the account book was the best to find, in case I couldn't find it, I must take off his skin. This is the last chance, this time it's over, whether it works or not, we all go home. ”
……
When Changying came back, Zi Ying was sending the two maids in the courtyard to dry their clothes.
Shaoqing on the dock has already laid an ambush with Zhou Liang, and news will come every other hour, and Changying's task is to keep an eye on Cheng Xiao.
Even if the dock silver has nothing to do with Cheng Xiao, he still has an account book in his hand, no matter what, he must not relax on his side.
But Shaoqing and the others also found out vigilantly that there was always a trail after they went out these days, but fortunately, they were all experienced and their camouflage skills were not a problem.
"Cheng Mei was just released."
When Zi Yan saw her, he immediately went into the room to report the news.
Changying already knew about this, she flicked her sleeves and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
At this tense moment, Cheng Xiao's old fox suddenly released the goods again, which was naturally abnormal.
Zi Yan also wondered: "I don't know either, it's also the news I just received." ”
"Then go and keep an eye on it."
At this juncture, don't let her make any trouble.
Cheng Mei is unreasonable, Cheng Xiao released her, in her eyes, it was no different from releasing a mad dog.
Zi Yan nodded and went out.
But the news brought back was that there were no young moths, not only were there no young moths, but Cheng Mei was still sent by Cheng Xiao to live in the countryside Zhuangzi.
"It's true, they're still covering it! Or I overheard it through the door, Cheng Mei was tearful and packed up her clothes, and sent someone to prepare a horse lantern, probably to walk at night.
"Mrs. Cheng is good at persuasion, although I can't hear clearly, but it sounds like she wants to teach her a lesson."
"Walking at night?" Changying thought for a moment, and suddenly stopped the tea that was put on her lips, "Have you ever heard of a father who will let the eldest girl go out for a night walk?" ”
Not to mention that gangsterism in Jiangnan is so common, he himself was in danger twice, saying that he had no intention, who would believe it?
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something, put down the teacup, and said, "See which way she plans to go?" Let's go back and see. ”
Zi Yi was stunned: "Danger! The Cheng family is in office, where did they come from Zhuangzi in Changxing? Who knows what the hell the old fox was up to? ”
Changying looked at her deeply: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!" ”
