Volume 2 Paragraph 20 Sworn Enemies

Zhu Youxiao got those accounts and called Wang Tiqian to explain them to him, but Zhu Youxiao himself didn't know many words and couldn't understand them. He had three very loyal eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, and Li Yongzhen. Wei Zhongxian is also illiterate, but Wei Zhongxian has been loyal since he took care of Zhu Youxiao's daily life, and Zhu Youxiao thinks he can use it. The other two eunuchs were both celebrants, and after recognizing their future, they defected to Zhu Youxiao.

Wang Tiqian had a round face, very kind, with a low eyebrow and lower eyes, and knelt down and bowed down when he walked in front of Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao leaned on the chair and said slowly: "There are a few accounts on the case, you can help me take a look." ”

"Yes." Wang Tiqian carefully picked up the account and looked at it as he said. Zhu Youxiao said again: "Read." ”

Wang Tiqian had to read nervously next to each other. After a long time, Zhu Youxiao said: "Can this account show that those officials and businessmen colluded to make huge profits? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, they bought and sold each other, remembered clearly, and were completely able to judge their sins. But here, I always mention a family, and replace it with the word mulberry, I don't know which one, I'm afraid it's a code word. ”

"Oh? What is the relationship between this Sang family and ......" Zhu Youxiao covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, and he caught a few petty officials and a few businessmen, and the beads were not found, and there was nothing to show off in front of his grandfather when he went back, isn't there still a big fish?

Wang Tiqian flipped through for a long time, and said: "It's mostly a witness, but it's ...... counted" Wang Tiqian took a small abacus and crackled for a while, "This Sang family didn't participate in the sale, but it netted 800,000 taels." ”

"Eight hundred thousand?" Zhu Youxiao glared and said three words, saying it too quickly, it tickled his throat, and he coughed again. Wang Tiqian hurriedly kowtowed and told the prince to pay attention to his body.

Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart, if he got this money back, his grandfather might be happy.

"Quick, go and send a message to Jinyiwei and ask those people in prison where the Sang family is."

Jin Yiwei took a lot of effort to kill two more people, but no one said anything, and I don't know when and how to kill the merchant who handed over the accounts, which cut off the clue. Those people were determined to die, and one person died, at least leaving a way for the relatives who were not caught.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and remembered that if Zhang Wen hadn't revealed the mystery of this matter, no one would have known that he could speculate the price of salt so much, so he called Wei Zhongxian to find Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen was not at home either, and the maid inside asked Wei Zhongxian to leave a message, and he would tell him when Zhang Wen came back.

Wei Zhongxian really couldn't think of any creative code words, thinking that Zhu Youxiao came to see Zhang Wen that day, and took a piece of red paper that was not written, and he also drew the scoop in the same way, leaving a piece of red paper, and said, "Tell him to wait at home tomorrow." ”

Zhang Wen took a look at the red paper and said, "Mo is not the son of the world, right?" ”

Shen Biyao behind the bead curtain said: "Lord Zhang is still careful, maybe Li Ruzi's people have been arranged in Hangzhou, this is the bait they cast." ”

Zhang Wen thought for a while and said, "The prince came to Hangzhou, how did he find out?" If it weren't for the prince himself coming to me, I wouldn't have heard any wind at all, and Miss Shen's eyeliner is so wide, I don't know it, right? I want to try to contact the son of the world and tell him that the immortal pearl is in Li Ruzi's hand, so that Li Ruzi and Dongchang Jinyiwei can play. ”

Just here, suddenly a whistle sounded outside the building, and then five or six women in Xuanyi rushed into the door and said at the door: "Boss, an enemy has invaded. ”

Shen Biyao beckoned: "My lord, come!" ”

Zhang Wen hurriedly followed Shen Biyao to the inner room, and on the way, Shen Biyao's subordinates put out the lights, and the surroundings were pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Then I heard two blows, and a woman in Xuanyi on the side blew up the fire fold and walked in front.

The woman in Xuanyi pulled out a short knife from her waist and handed it to Zhang Wen, a group of three people, only the woman in Xuanyi could fight. But Zhang Wen has seen Zhang Ying's skills, and Shen Biyao's subordinates should all be masters.

The group walked down a staircase, upstairs was a room with all kinds of miscellaneous items, and the woman in front of her found a clay pot, moved it away, and pushed a floor stone, and there was really a secret passage below.

Helping Shen Biyao and Zhang Wen go down to the secret passage, the woman in Xuanyi handed Shen Biyao the fire fold in her hand, and took one more to Zhang Wen, "Boss, you and Master Zhang go inside to hide first to make sure no one follows, and then go to the other end." After daybreak, I heard the secret signal and came out again. ”

"Xuanyue, you come in too!" Shen Biyao ordered.

"Boss, I can't let anyone find out here." After Xuan Yue finished speaking, she blocked the secret passage.

"Xuanyue!"

"Let's go. The girls you raised are all loyal and righteous, and they are all middle and high masters. Zhang Wen drew a light on the fire fold, looked around, the ground was glowing with a layer of water, and there was a dripping sound nearby.

Zhang Wen walked to the fork and looked, the secret passage ran through the east and west, and there was no end in sight.

"This way." Shen Biyao led Zhang Wen to the right, the flickering fire shone on the veil on Shen Biyao's face, revealing a ghostly aura.

I don't know how long the cat walked around in the dark passage, only the sound of breathing, wading and the faint sound of the fire burning. "The big family is really taking precautions, can this secret passage be a passage to the Jingshi?"

Shen Biyao chuckled, "At this juncture, you can still laugh, adults are really not mortals." ”

Zhang asked.

Shen Biyao turned her head and looked at Zhang Wen suspiciously.

"The world above can't be said to have rules, and when you go underground, do you still need to keep the rules? I don't have the right, you don't have the "soldiers", and if you run for your life together, you should be called by name. ”

"My lord, Baguio didn't want to hide here all the time."

"Miss Shen, don't worry, Zhang Wen doesn't have that plan." Zhang Wen learned from Shen Biyao.

Suddenly, there was a roar overhead, and there was a tremor under his feet, could it be that the people of the Li family had already captured the villa and started digging three feet into the ground? Zhang Wen thought so in his heart, and looked at Shen Biyao's expression, as if he was also worried about this.

"Let's go!" Zhang Wen pinned the short sword given by Xuanyue to his belt, stretched out his hand to the front, grabbed Shen Biyao and sped up his pace, "Your group of Xuanyi girls are fighting for their lives, not to make you and me fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

"Be careful." Hearing Shen Biyao shouting, Zhang Wen was pushed to the side of the secret passage, and when he looked again, the floor tile with ornaments that he was about to step on just now fell into the trap.

"How many traps are there?"

"Can't deal with too many enemies." Shen Biyao groped around the stone wall and found the mechanism to restore the trap.

"Tried?"

Shen Biyao and Zhang Wen glanced at each other, and their tone was melancholy, "Remember." ”

"Miss Mo Fei was chased into this ...... by gangsters" Zhang Wen didn't speak, and continued to move forward, but he didn't go too far before he was pulled aside by Shen Biyao.

"Not here." After Shen Biyao finished speaking, she groped on the cave wall for a while, Zhang Wen held the fire fold beside her, and suddenly there was a muffled sound, and the heavy stone wall made a clicking sound, and she actually moved away, but it only moved a few inches before it was stuck. Shen Biyao was in a hurry to push it, but it was useless.

"I'll come. I got it. Zhang Wen hurriedly went over to replace him, stuck his shoulder into the gap, and used all his strength to push the stone wall. The shoulder stuck in only to find that the frame of the stone wall door was cast in iron, and it was rusty at the moment, pressing on his shoulder blades like a blunt knife chopping, he wanted to scream in pain, but in front of Shen Biyao, he had to grit his teeth and continue to push hard, the door only moved a little, and Zhang Wen couldn't squeeze in sideways.

"Looks like we have to keep running." Shen Biyao said dejectedly.

"Wait. Wait," Zhang Wen rubbed his shoulders and took a picture of the fire fold behind the stone wall, which was obviously a room. "There's an oil lamp in there, right?" In the damp environment underground, the fire fold can only be carried with you, and the oil lamp is even more reliable.

Shen Biyao obviously understood what Zhang Wen was thinking. "Yes! It should be on the side. ”

Zhang Wen stretched out his hand and groped up and down the wall of the secret room, and finally touched the lamp plate embedded in the wall, broke it off with all his strength, handed it to Shen Biyao, and finally came out of the crack and loosened his shoulders, squatted down to check the stone wall mechanism, especially the slide path underneath, and sure enough, it was all rusty.

"The lamp oil is there, but can it be useful? You can't pour it in. ”

"There's this." Zhang Wen pulled out the short sword at his waist and smiled. Then the dagger slipped into the roulette wheel at the bottom of the door and poured lamp oil on the sword. If he had to change his weekdays, he didn't have the courage to waste time on running for his life, but with Shen Biyao's thoughtfulness, it would be more secure to execute her first plan when escaping, although the rust of this mechanism was not in her calculations. Moreover, in case the mad dog of the Li family really chased in, it would be really unwise to run in a straight line. After pouring the lamp oil, Zhang Wen used the blade of his sword to scrape the rust on the mechanism. "You turn it off again."
