Chapter 105: Getting into Trouble
"Still sleeping?" Li Zhen returned to the inn, and saw that Long Xiao was still sleeping on the chair, so he went over and patted Long Xiao on the shoulder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What kind of sad thing did your prince think of last night, ruining himself like this?" Li Zhen saw that he couldn't wake up Long Xiao, shook his head helplessly, and said to Ziyan.
"You are brothers in distress, is there anything he doesn't tell you?" Ziyan really didn't know much about Long Xiao, she asked rhetorically.
"He, day by day, who knows what is going on in his heart, he drinks inexplicably. Li Zhen sat on the chair and drank tea suspiciously.
"Huh......" Li Zhen and Ziyan were discussing, when they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from Long Xiao's mouth, and hurriedly looked back.
"Are you finally awake?" Li Zhen walked up to Long Xiao and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Why did I sleep here?" Long Xiao looked around, rubbing his face tense from overdrinking.
"You're embarrassed to say that you don't let people sleep early in the morning, and you come here to get drunk. Li Zhen snorted and said.
"I came here early in the morning to play drunk?" Long Xiao couldn't believe Li Zhen's words, last night was an auspicious day for Li Zhen and Ziyan, he came early in the morning to play drunk, isn't this a shame? Long Xiao said with regret.
"Isn't it? Tell me honestly, did you think of any girl last night?" Li Zhen asked with a grin.
"Nonsense, where are the girls?" Long Xiao hurriedly turned his face away from Li Zhen's eyes, as if he was afraid that his eyes would speak.
"Don't admit it yet, look at it, your face has changed!" Li Zhen said to Ziyan who was standing aside.
How embarrassed Ziyan was to laugh at Long Xiao with Li Zhen, she had no choice but to purse her lips and smile, lower her head and say nothing.
"Don't make fun of me here, tell me what this room is all about?" Long Xiao turned his head and found five big red boxes on the ground, he hurriedly changed the topic and asked.
"You guys over here, quick, you over there!" a rough and hurried voice sounded, accompanied by noisy footsteps, and there was an uproar outside.
"What's going on?" Li Zhen walked to the window vigilantly.
Long Xiao also stood up, the Liufeng Building he opened in the capital has always been law-abiding and kind, so it stands to reason that nothing should go wrong.
"There are a lot of officers and soldiers coming outside!" Li Zhen opened a crack in the window and saw that there were already three layers outside and the outer three floors were all full of heavily armed officers and soldiers.
"How can there be officers and soldiers?" Long Xiao hurriedly came to the window, and sure enough, an officer and soldier dressed as a general was interrogating the shopkeeper Lao Rui, Lao Rui was his confidant, who had followed him for many years, and was peaceful and generous on weekdays, so he was arranged in the capital in case of emergency, if the officers and soldiers asked about the Tibetan area, Long Xiao felt that Lao Rui was a person, and he would rather die than say it.
Long Xiao hurriedly walked out of the room and went downstairs to talk to the officers and soldiers. Li Zhen and Ziyan watched their every move through the window.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the owner of this inn, tell me something!" Long Xiao walked over in a dashing manner, shook the folding fan in his hand, and blocked Lao Rui behind him.
"Master, they said they wanted to arrest the Qin criminals, our business here is deserted, where are the guests!" Lao Rui also wondered, there was no business in the inn here, that is, the master and two friends just moved in last night, where did the Qin prisoners come from!
"Lao Rui, go down first! Long Xiao motioned for Lao Rui to go up and take Li Zhen and Ziyan to leave in a dark passage, although the store of this inn is inconspicuous, but the internal structure is quite ingenious, not only with front and rear passages, but also a deep labyrinth underground, which only he and Lao Rui know.
"Yes, master!" said Lao Rui.
"Wait! It's not that simple to run, no one can leave until the matter is clear!" The general had a fat head and big ears, and his limbs were stout, and he looked like a foreigner who had done kung fu, and he spoke like a bell, and the armor on his body rattled.
"Huh...... This official, we do business to welcome guests and friends from all over the world, and we have always done things in a fair and upright manner, what can't we run, do you think we look like Jiangyang thieves?" Long Xiao said with a smile on his lips, but he couldn't wait to slap this official's fat pig-like face a few times.
"Is it a Jiangyang thief, I'll find out when I search! Someone is coming! Search!" The fat-faced general shouted, and twenty or thirty officers and soldiers rushed in from outside the door, each holding a steel knife in their hands, and began to search one by one.
Li Zhen stood in front of the window, and he was also confused by what was in front of him.
"Could it really be that there are Qin prisoners hiding in Liufeng Tower?" Li Zhen was still pondering, completely unthinking of the boxes in his house.
Long Xiao's mind kept turning, he didn't know what the origin of the boxes in Li Zhen's house was, this Li Zhen didn't say anything, could it be that these officers and soldiers came to Li Zhen's boxes?
"This Li Zhen is not reliable at all, and he will cause trouble as soon as he enters the capital!" Long Xiao was secretly anxious in his heart, and he also felt remorse for his drinking and missteps yesterday, although these officers and soldiers are not to be afraid, but if they really want to start here, it will not be conducive to their next secret visit, besides, these are all officers and soldiers at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if they really want to kill, they will definitely shock the government and the opposition.
"My lord, Dirty Silver has been found!" a minion shouted from upstairs to the general below.
"How can there be dirty silver in Li Zhen's room, could it be that those red boxes are dirty silver? I thought it was the two of them newly married to buy things!" When Long Xiao heard this, he was shocked, and as soon as he wanted something bad, he hurriedly walked upstairs.
"Hmph, kind businessman, look at how you quibble this time!" The general looked at Long Xiao's panicked figure, walked upstairs in a hurry, and didn't forget to look back at Lao Rui, "A few of you, show me this shopkeeper!"
"Yes!" several officers and soldiers clung to Old Rui's thin arm.
Lao Rui had a stubborn expression on his face, standing straight in place, without the slightest fear.
"What's the matter?" Long Xiao entered the house and saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers opening the red box one by one, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and hurriedly walked up to Li Zhen and muttered in a low voice.
"How do I know, this was sent by someone early in the morning, how did it become dirty silver?" Li Zhen also became the second monk of Zhang, and he said angrily, on the second day of his wedding, someone came to make trouble, it was really unlucky, and he was going to be wronged again.
"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Long Xiao said angrily, if Li Zhen informed Long Xiao in advance, he could put these boxes in the underground vault of Liufeng Building, which was cold and unprepared.
"You drank like a drunk cat early in the morning, where can I tell you!" Li Zhen also said aggrievedly.
"But I suspect that someone must have framed us, it was just sent in the morning, and before noon, there were officers and soldiers coming to the door, is it just a coincidence?" Li Zhen whispered in Long Xiao's ear.
Long Xiao listened to a cloud and rain, and he didn't know the cause and effect of the whole thing at all, and he didn't know that Li Zhen had used the dirty silver here to buy a dagger.
"Brother Zhen, it must be the shopkeeper's secret!" Although Ziyan was also caught off guard by the arrival of these officers and soldiers, she still calmly went through the whole thing, if it wasn't the person who sent the silver, it was the silver itself that was a problem, and the shopkeeper of the antique shop told the secret.
"Well, I guess it's him!" Li Zhen didn't believe that it was the person who sent the silver to fix him, it should be that the silver itself was dirty silver.
"Yo! How is it? Have you discussed it? How are you going to quibble?" The general walked in with a big belly, his voice was slightly excited, after all, he could make meritorious service again.
"This official, I don't know what position he holds in the court?" Li Zhen greeted him with a smile.
"The position in the court is not high, just the commander of Ximen!" the general said commandingly, looking up at Li Zhen with his face long.
"There are nine gates in the entire capital, you only care about the west gate, presumably the annual income is less than a hundred taels of silver, right?" Li Zhen said slowly.
"It depends on what you say, if you even knock and beat, there will be more than this in this capital for a day. The general didn't understand what Li Zhen was trying to say.
"I think the general is full of energy, he must be a model of honesty and honesty, and he will definitely not do this kind of thing to knock off the people's bamboo poles. Li Zhen said with a smile.
"If you still have some vision, now that you know this, why don't you quickly recruit the ins and outs of this dirty silver?" the general looked very grinning.
"Official, this silver is indeed not something for us, this was sent by someone early in the morning, and I hope that the official will investigate it clearly!" Li Zhen also wanted to deal with this matter simply, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, every move would cause a storm all over the city, which would have a great impact on their next actions.
"Haha...... Are you kidding me? Someone sent it? Then why don't they send it to my house?" The general burst into a wild laugh, causing the whole room to laugh, and it was obvious that Li Zhen's words made people sound like they were coaxing a three-year-old child.
"Master, I'm telling the truth! We just entered Beijing yesterday, how can we have time to steal these riches?" Li Zhen's pale defense even Long Xiao felt untenable when he heard it, Long Xiao shook his head, signaling that Li Zhen didn't need to talk so much to this fat man.
"You kid, not only can you steal and rob, but you're also very good at your mouth! No wonder such a beautiful lady will follow you, you kid is very blessed!" The general tilted his head and looked at Ziyan's low-hanging face with a squinting expression.
"Huh...... Shame and shame! Official, look, can this work, these jewels, I have the right to meet you with the official, how about letting the brothers carry them away for a cup of tea?" Li Zhen was already angry when he heard the words of the fat general, but he still wanted to solve this troublesome matter quickly, so he forced a smile and held back.
"Haha...... Boy, do you know where these jewels are? You let me spend them, you want me to die!" The general said with a smile, but his murderous intent had risen, and his tone was slightly angry.
