Chapter 109: The Outer Room

The truth is a thousand times, but it is not as good as the truth.

Jiang Shu turned his head and ordered the guards to buy a cart of grain and distribute it to the beggars in the five deserted houses.

A truckload of grain is enough for them to eat for a month or two, and now that it is the rainy season, no amount can be stored.

Temporarily solving the problem of the beggars' stomachs, Jiang Shu turned to ask Yu Zheng: "What is the prince doing here?" ”

"Doing some business." Yu Zheng glanced at the beggars in the courtyard and asked the little monkey, "Do you know that there is a woman surnamed Li around here?" ”

The news that Chasing Cloud found out was only that the woman lived in this neighborhood, but he didn't know which household it was.

Yu Zheng thinks that the little monkeys they live here and maybe they know.

"Aunt Li? What are you looking for her to do? The little monkey looked alarmed.

He really knew.

"We're here to help you, and if you don't want to go hungry anymore, take us there." Chasing clouds is kind and persuasive.

The little monkey hesitated for a moment, thinking that not only did they not beat them, but also gave them money and bought food for them, so they should not be bad people.

"I'll take you there, but don't hurt Aunt Li, she's a good person." The little monkey walked out.

Yu Zheng and a few people followed him, walked out of Qi'er Alley and turned around to another alley.

"Are you familiar with this Aunt Li?" Zhao Manying listened as she walked.

The little monkey said: "She often gives us food, even if it is difficult for her own family." ”

"She gave us almost all the food she sent every month."

Zhao Manying grasped the point: "Lord Fu Yin also sends her food every month?" ”

The little monkey nodded: "Lord Fu Yin said that Aunt Li is the widow of the Yamen head catcher, and the head catcher died in the line of duty, and it is not easy to leave Aunt Li orphans and widows." So I would send them a bag of food every month, but Aunt Li gave it to us every time. ”

"In this way, this Aunt Li is really a good person." Zhao Manying is meaningful.

While speaking, the little monkey walking in front stopped, pointed to the house in front of him and said, "This is Aunt Li's house." ”

"Thank you, you can go back." Chasing Yun took out a piece of broken silver from his waist and gave it to the little monkey, which was a thank you gift for leading the way.

After the little monkey walked away, Chaiyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Seeing that they were so cautious, Jiang Shu asked worriedly, "Do we want to avoid it?" ”

"Not necessarily." Yu Zheng stared at the door in front of him, and he had heard footsteps approaching.

"Who?" What came into my ears was the voice of a young man.

Chasing Yun replied in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao sent us." ”

"Squeak-" The closed door opened, and the boy, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, poked his head out and looked at them curiously.

"What are so many of you doing here?" The boy was a little wary.

In the past, there were only one or two people here, but how can there be so many people today?

"Is your mother here? Lord Zhao has something to explain to her. "Chasing the clouds did not answer the rhetorical question.

Listening to this foreign accent, the young man was suspicious: "Who are you?" What are you looking for my mother? ”

He's not a three-year-old, he's not that easy to deceive.

However, the person has been found, the door has been opened, and it does not matter whether the boy is good or not.

Chafeng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and directly pushed the door in.

"What ......are you doing," the young man wanted to shout loudly, but was grabbed by Chafeng covering his mouth and grabbing his hands.

The group quickly entered the house and bolted the door with their backhands.

Entering the courtyard, Jiang Shu finally realized that Yu Zheng was doing something extremely important.

She was afraid that she and Tanyu would ruin Yu Zheng's affairs, so she pulled Tanyu to stand behind and whispered to Tanyu not to talk or move around.

Tan Yu was also frightened by this battle, and nodded obediently.

"Xuan'er, who's coming......" The woman who was cooking in the kitchen heard the movement and walked out with a spatula.

He was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, with a plain turban wrapped around his head and an apron tied around his waist. Even so, it is difficult to hide the charm.

Seeing the wind covering the young man's mouth, and then seeing Yu Zheng and his party, the woman was shocked.

"You're Aunt Li?" Chasing clouds asked.

The son was in human hands, and the woman did not dare to lie, so she nodded with a frightened face.

"Can you let my son go, what's coming at me." Aunt Li pleaded in a trembling voice.

Chasing Feng looked at the boy and warned, "I let you go, don't shout." ”

The boy nodded, and let go of his hand.

"Help......

The boy rebelled and shouted loudly as soon as he was freed.

Chasing the wind's eyes was cold, and he directly slashed the back of the young man's neck with a knife, and the whites of the young man's eyes rolled and fainted to the ground.

"Xuan'er......" Aunt Li threw away the spatula in horror, and ran over in three or two steps to hug the young man.

"Don't worry, he's fine. But if you don't talk as well as he does, then I can't guarantee it. "Chase the wind pulled out the tiger head hook and held it in his hand to threaten.

Aunt Li trembled with fright: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"Don't be nervous, my master just wants to ask you a few words." Chasing Yun reassured.

Aunt Li's eyes were angry and frightened, and she said vigilantly: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"You're Zhao Renxian's outer room?" Yu Zheng asked.

Aunt Li's eyes rolled, pondering how to answer.

Chasing the wind played with the tiger's head hook and reminded aside: "Think clearly, you only have one chance." ”

Aunt Li was covered in cold sweat when she heard this, gritted her teeth and admitted: "Yes, I am Zhao Renxian's outer room." ”

After getting the answer he wanted, Yu Zheng asked again: "Are all the secret letters he has with people placed here with you?" ”

Hearing this, Aunt Li finally understood what Yu Zheng was here for.

They're here to harm Zhao Renxian!

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Aunt Li subconsciously quibbled.

"The answer is incorrect." Chase the wind clenched the tiger head hook, aimed the tip of the hook at the fainted boy, and made a gesture to stab down.

Aunt Li's eyes were shocked, and she said urgently: "I said that I said, I am here." ”

The tiger head hook stopped a few inches away from the young man's chest in time, and he withdrew his hand and said, "Next time, I'll stab it directly." ”

Aunt Li was frightened and frightened, swallowed her saliva violently, and hated to faint to death.

But she didn't dare to faint, she was afraid that this group of people would really kill her son.

"Where is the money that Zhao Renxian has embezzled and accepted bribes for many years?" Yu Zheng asked the last question.

From the first day he arrived in Lin'an Mansion, he sent someone to secretly rummage through the Yin Mansion, but did not find any evidence or stolen goods.

At that time, Yu Zheng knew that Zhao Renxian must have hidden these things elsewhere.

But Lin'an Mansion is so big, where is he going to find it?

When she had no clue, Zhao Manying came to the door and said that she wanted to make a deal with him.

He agreed to Zhao Manying's conditions, and Zhao Manying told him that Zhao Renxian had an outer room and put the evidence and stolen goods there.

As long as you find Zhao Renxian's outer room, you can find evidence of Zhao Renxian's corruption and bribery and dirt, and take him down in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Manying's knowledge was very limited, but when Zhao Renxian was drinking with the governor of Jiangnan, she overheard a few words of conversation.

"You have to hide those things, if someone finds out, you and I will have to lose our heads." The governor of Jiangnan reminded Zhao Renxian.

Zhao Renxian replied smugly with the strength of the wine: "Don't worry, my lord, I put them in the outer room, and no one will know." ”

"Outer Chamber? The widow surnamed Li back then? The governor of Jiangnan teased.

Zhao Renxian said with emotion: "She has followed me all these years and gave birth to a son to me, and now she is more than ten years old......"

Something was hidden in the outer room, a widow surnamed Li, with a teenage son.

This is the information that Zhao Manying provided to Yu Zheng.

In the past few days, Yu Zheng and Zhao Manying have traveled all over Lin'an Mansion, just looking for them in secret.

Finally, let them find it.
