Chapter 45 Pursuit

Wang Wu has a fellow villager named Wang Zhongquan, who is the president of the Huiping County Chamber of Commerce, and this year Huiping County coincided with a major drought, and grain prices have been rising.

According to the people around him, some time ago, Wang Zhongquan bought a lot of grain and made a lot of money, and now someone has come to inquire about it, and he said it clearly.

Zhao Wei and the others immediately arrested Wang Zhongquan, and without waiting for the punishment, Wang Zhongquan explained it clearly, but he didn't know who conspired with Wang Wu.

The two saw that Wang Zhongquan really didn't know, so they had to record all the notes he said and put them in prison.

Xiao Xinrong held a piece of paper with words written in his hand, and he couldn't understand what Wang Wu wanted to say, he went to the government office to arrest people a few days ago, but it wasn't that Xiao Xinrong calculated that there were people who had moved military rations hidden in the government.

He felt that Wang Mao could embezzle, and the origin of these silver taels should be carefully investigated, could it be that Wang Mao's gang colluded with others to resell the stolen money of military rations, if this is the case, some people will not be able to sit still if they invite people back, and they will naturally jump out at that time.

Wang Mao also admitted that he had received silver taels from Wang Wu to honor him on weekdays, but Wang Wu didn't know anything about selling military rations, and he was shocked when he heard that Wang Wu died.

It seems that Wang Wu is indeed one of the masterminds, but it's a pity that the clue is broken now when he dies, and the white word he said when he is dying must be related to the account book, but unfortunately I don't know whether this white is a place name or a personal name.

For a while, Xiao Xinrong felt that he was in a fog, and he was about to lift the thin veil to see the truth of the matter, but it was a pity that he was at a loss in the fog.

Xiao Xinrong ordered to go and check Wang Wu's friends and the people around him to see if there were any clues missing, as long as there was any contact with Wang Wu, they had to ask, and everyone in the prefect was in danger.

On that day, Wang Wu died on the way to the post station, causing an uproar among the people in the palace, these people have been interrogated two or three times in the past few days, and they have long been frightened birds.

Today, Zhao Wei and the others called out a few people who were also staff members, and Zhang Hu said: "I'll give you another chance today, and you guys think carefully about who Wang Wu has to deal with on weekdays." ”

Several people glanced at each other and no one said a word, and the mouth that usually gave advice was useless at the moment.

"Don't say yes. The grumpy Zhang Hu raised the whip and was about to draw it, only to hear a voice at this time remember: "I remember, there is a few of us drinking, Wang Wu got up when he was drunk and said that he was going to find his best, and several of us laughed at him, what can you like, Wang Wu argued that he has it, and it is in Baihualou." ”

"Why don't you say it soon!" Zhang Hu whipped the person who squeaked and screamed, and Zhao Wei stopped: "The business is important!"

After hearing this, Xiao Xinrong picked up the horsewhip hanging on the wall and led the two to Baihualou.

Baihualou is not far from the post station, half a cup of tea kung fu everyone arrived, Xiao Xinrong got off the horse and looked up, only to see a string of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door of the four-storey small building, and the breeze blew and rattled.

Because it was daytime, the door of the building was closed and there was no one, and the grumpy Zhang Hu stepped forward and smashed the door directly.

"Who's not open now, come back in the evening!" the people inside didn't move when they heard the voice, but raised their voices and roared.

As soon as Zhang Hu heard this, he raised his foot and kicked towards the door, and the door crumbled with a few bangs.

"Who? It doesn't make people sleep well in broad daylight!" came a loud curse from inside the door.

The turtle slave walked to the door and stretched out his hand to pull the door bolt, but the door fell directly and pressed the turtle slave under the door panel. The turtle slave was pressed, and before he could stare at it, he stretched out a palm the size of a fan in front of him and pulled himself out directly.

"Go, call everyone to me!" The turtle slave was pushed and staggered to the ground, ignoring the pain in his body and crawling upstairs, shouting as he ran: "Mother Hua, get up quickly, a group of evil people are coming!"

Mother Hua, who was sleeping, was awakened by a knock on the door, and angrily got up and opened the door. ”

The turtle slave squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Mother Hua, there is a group of evil gods below, and they knocked our door open without waiting for me to open the door." ”

Mother Hua scolded angrily when she heard this: "I want to see that the leopard who ate the bear's heart dared to go wild on the old lady's territory!"

Then he said to the turtle slave: "You go, call all those thugs to the old lady." ”

The turtle slave nodded and ran to the backyard with a puff of smoke.

Mother Hua went downstairs angrily, only to see a handsome young man in a gray brocade robe sitting at the round table downstairs, and there were two guards, one fat and one thin, standing next to the man.

At this time, several thugs raised in the building appeared at the back door, and when Mother Hua saw that her manpower was coming, her heart shook and shook, and she walked towards the noble son with a silk handkerchief in her hand.

Mother Hua walked up to Xiao Xinrong and said, "Is Childe here to have fun?" It's a pity that it's not the right time to come, the girls are resting, but I can make an exception for you." After speaking, he smiled with a wink.

If a young and beautiful woman does such an action, it may be pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that this flower mother is already half a hundred, and after a few flattering eyes, the powder on her face only swished down, and Zhang Hu grinned unconsciously.

A strong aroma came to his face, Xiao Xinrong frowned, raised his eyes to look at Hua's mother, and said coldly, "Do you know Wang Wu?"

When Mother Hua heard this name, she was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I don't know any house, I open the door here to do business, and everyone comes from the south to the north, and everyone is here to have fun." Baihualou receives not a thousand but hundreds of guests every day, how can I remember who is who. ”

Zhang Hu saw that she was not answering honestly, so he pulled out the short knife in his hand with a clatter, put it on Mother Hua's neck, and scared Mother Hua to tremble, raised her hands and trembled and said, "What are you doing?"

Then he shouted behind him, "Are you all dead? Don't you see that the knives are all on the old lady's neck?"

The thugs behind him did not hesitate, and rushed towards several people, Zhao Wei stepped forward and kicked one by one, and in a moment the ground was full of people who were whining and wailing.

"Now I can talk about it, whether I know it or not. Zhang Hudao tightened his grip and asked again.

Mother Hua glanced at the knife around her neck and felt its coolness, and hurriedly nodded and said, "A good man spare his life, spare his life, I know, I know." ”

"How often does he come to that girl?"

"Yan ...... Purples. ”

With a bang, Zhang Hu withdrew the knife and inserted it into the scabbard. Mother Flower's legs were weak and she almost sat on the ground.

"Yan Hong is leading the way in front of that room!" Zhao Wei kicked the frightened turtle slave next to him.

The turtle slave reacted with a spirit, and hurriedly took Zhao Wei to a room on the third floor, and there was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice came from the room: "Who?"

Zhao Wei glared at the turtle slave, and the turtle slave hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "Sister Yanhong, it's me, Mother Hua asked me to wake you up, and there is a generous noble son downstairs, Mother Hua asked you to get up to accompany you." ”

With a creak, the door opened inside.
