Chapter 997: Land Temple
Liang Juewu's attitude was sincere, he really didn't want Zhang Yong to make any moths at that time; Zhang Yong couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, stood up and said: "Okay, Lord Liang, I know what you have to say, I remember it, but Hu Sanniang is my wife, if someone makes something out of nothing, it is not to give me Zhang Yong's face." ”
"Of course, Lord Yang has already said that if you ask about this matter, Lord Lu Qing will naturally arrange everything properly. Liang Juewu said with a smile, Zhang Yong scolded in his heart when he heard it, the people who came out of the Imperial City Division really didn't have a good thing, Yang Zhi didn't care, what are you doing to scare me. After Liang Juewu finished this matter, he returned to Yingtianfu without saying hello to anyone, and he didn't know about the case of Zhouqiao Qianzhuang, and he regretted it a lot.
As soon as Zheng Zhuli, the owner of Zhouqiao Qianzhuang, had an accident with Tan Jin, he went to find Xu Jingheng, and among the left-behind divisions of the Dingbei Army, only Xu Jingheng was the old man in the original court, and Zheng Zhuli was an acquaintance. When Xu Jingheng came to find Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi had already prepared here, and asked Xu Jingheng to see Tan Jin did not accept torture, but the family was detained, and the reason given was that he found that the gold traded was from the government treasury.
Zheng Zhuli listened to Xu Jingheng's words, he was nervous and excited, the Zheng family is a big family with lush branches and huge power, although Zheng Zhuli is in charge of Zhouqiao Qianzhuang, he naturally has his difficulties, and the biggest threat is from the competition within the family. Zheng Zhuli has been cautious all these years, but a good monk's blackmail has put his position in jeopardy, and now, on the surface, it is a crisis, but it is actually an opportunity to deepen ties with King Jing, and the gold stolen from the government is really not a big deal for Zhouqiao Qianzhuang, and the worst result is to give up Tan Jin.
Zheng Zhuli is not a soft-hearted person, Tan Jin is just a guy he invited, even if he is a shopkeeper he admires, he is still a buddy after all; in a place like Bianliang City, there are not many people who can be the shopkeeper of the bank, and the number of people who want to enter the Zhouqiao money village is at least hundreds, Zheng Zhuli just feels a little sorry, and the rest are really not worried.
Yang Zhi did not have any special actions except for sending people to check the treasury of Qianzhuang, which made Zheng Zhuli feel a lot more relieved, but Zheng Zhuli did not know that Yang Zhi's purpose was not Zhouqiao Qianzhuang, but Sun Widowzui;
This is the first time that Sun Widowzui has seen such a bad star as Shi Mojie, and after a period of great punishment, Sun Widowzui couldn't stand it, and begged for mercy for a while, and even the horror of a good monk was thrown aside, basically what Shi Mojie asked, Sun Widowzui said. Sun Widow confessed, he went out of the city every day or two, and got all kinds of instructions from the land temple outside the city, Shi Mojie secretly scolded the other party for being cunning, people come and go every day in the land temple, if the two are not face-to-face contact, they can't lock the object at all, and they can't arrest all the people who enter the land temple.
Yang Zhi thinks it is a good clue, the land temple is a temple dedicated to the land god, mostly a small sacrificial building built by the local people, and it is not a place of faith, who will run to worship at two ends in three days; If the Incense Priest is not the target, then the Incense Priest must know which people are diligent.
The only uncertainty is whether there will be many people passing on the news, and it will be difficult to find clues every time a person is changed, but that is too risky, and according to the practice of a good monk, there should be no reason to take such a way. Shi Mojie asked Sun Widowzui to go to the Land Temple in the past two months, and found the only incense Taoist priest in the temple when he arrived at the Land Temple, and after half a day of interrogation, he locked up the proprietress of a tavern in the nearest village, Zhuo Di'er, a beautiful widow, who had no children around her, opened a tavern to make a living, and often visited the land nearby to pray for blessings.
If such a weak woman wants to say that there is something wrong, the elderly incense Taoist priest said that he would not believe anything, but Shi Mojie has experienced a lot of things, and knows that in his own industry, often a person's self-confidence and perseverance are the guarantee of success, and many people are not able to surpass others, but to get help in the underworld. When Shi Mojie arrived at the hotel, he was almost sure at first sight, and he suspected that it was right.
This woman is very eye-catching, well-dressed, and has a kind of graceful and generous temperament in her demeanor, and no one believes that she is the housewife of a certain big family; but as a village wine shop owner, she looks too dazzling, and such a dazzling woman does not have a trace of panic in the face of a large number of officials and soldiers. Looking in from the door of the tavern, the grade of the hotel is far from being comparable to that of ordinary wine shops, and according to Shi Mojie's estimate, it will definitely not make money.
Zhuo Di'er blocked the door and said with a smile: "Official, are you drinking, or are you sharpening?" If not, I won't accept the slave family. ”
There were already a lot of villagers around, and the caravan under the locust tree was also talking, and Li Zheng was also accompanied by a smiling face to ask if it was a misunderstanding, Shi Mojie showed the unreasonableness of the government: "The government investigates the case,"
With a wave of his hand, Shi Mojie's subordinates swarmed in, forcibly searching the tavern and Zhuo Diu'er's residence, the tavern was almost clear at a glance, and there was nothing to gain when he reached the small courtyard and bedroom at the back; Zhuo Diu'er put on a lonely look, sat at a table near the door, and silently wiped his tears, which made people feel pity. Shi Mojie saw that Zhuo Diu'er didn't know martial arts, so what Zhuo Di'er wanted to keep, there must be a proper place, Shi Mojie asked his subordinates to pay attention to whether there was a basement, and he paced around the tavern.
Shi Mojie walked down in a circle, and found that the width of the inner and outer walls was different, and ordered his subordinates to knock on the wall, and found a secret room, smashed open the earthen wall, and there were not only money tokens and other things in the secret room, but also a corpse, according to the waist card, it turned out to be an officer;
Zhuo Di'er seems to follow the rules on weekdays, but she didn't expect such an identity to scare the local Lizheng half to death, and confessed to Shi Mojie vigorously, she was dazzled, this charming woman knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart. Shi Mojie thought about it and didn't feel at ease, so he asked Li Zheng to find some people, dug three feet into the ground with the officials and soldiers, and found a clay pot under the water tank, which was a jar of spare silver and three parts of the road guide to Youzhou.
