Travel to ancient times to be a fast catcher

Chapter 68

  Zhuang Di's identity is a well-known talented Confucian businessman with a wealthy family background. Without any evidence, he can't investigate clearly and can only visit unannounced. At the beginning of the night, after Chu Xiaoyun and Fang Lingfeng disguised themselves, they went to the Zhuang Mansion to inquire.

Only this time before going to sleep is the most visible vision.

Although in the ancient times when there were no electric lights and no entertainment activities, the beginning of Haishi was not too early, but it was not the time when everything was still. If you don't pay attention, you may be discovered by the people of the Zhuang Mansion.

They chose a place with a big tree in the courtyard as the entrance for the visit, which was convenient for cover. Fang Lingfeng performed lightness kung fu, and climbed up the high wall of the Zhuang Mansion very easily and comfortably. Chu Xiaoyun tried his best and failed several times before he was able to climb up the courtyard wall. Seeing Chu Xiaoyun's clumsy appearance, Fang Lingfeng couldn't help but sneered: "Chu Butou, with your current skills, if you encounter any major case, let alone investigating the case to keep one safe, even escaping to protect yourself will be a problem.

" Fang Lingfeng, who used to only say that his face was paralyzed and indifferent, now he is even more mean. Chu Xiaoyun was angry, and felt that what the other party said was very realistic. For example, a few days ago, if the person who communicated was not Fang Lingfeng, the lives of his family would not be confessed, and the driver would have to be implicated. From the looks of it now, the matter of practicing kung fu has to be paid close attention to.

Then he thought of Su Wen again, that he had caused him to not be able to rest. I am patrolling at night, I absolutely dare not let Su Wen go home alone, and I dare not let Su Wen live in a rented house in the city in the dead of night, and I can't bring unnecessary trouble to the county magistrate, Chu Xiaoyun can only Take Su Wen to his own room, let Su Wen sleep late on the couch where he rested at noon, and tell Yu He to pay attention at night.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun became more and more stressed. However, this matter cannot be rushed, and it does not need to be resolved right now. Chu Xiaoyun abandoned the irrelevant imagination in his mind, and concentrated on observing the movements in the courtyard.

The Zhuang Mansion in the time of Haishi is the moment when it is turning from the bustling to the quiet. The number of servants who are busy during the day is gradually decreasing, and the master is rarely seen. In the Zhuang Mansion, except for the servants who patrol the courtyard who appear in sight from time to time, only the maids on duty occasionally appear. The distressed figure is not at all different from the scene that a wealthy family should have during Haishi.

"The Zhuang mansion is very quiet." Chu Xiaoyun said to Fang Lingfeng, "I can't see anything unusual, what does the concierge Fang think?"

Fang Lingfeng looked in casually: "Fang came here to protect you in an emergency One life, I'm not good at investigating cases."

Chu Xiaoyun was speechless to this man, he thought for a while: "This place is too far from the main house, let's go to the main house and have a look."

Fang Lingfeng glanced at it Chu Xiaoyun: "Chu Butou, be careful, don't step on the beams of the house." "

..." Isn't it just that I am not good at martial arts? As for such all-round and uninterrupted blows?

The two walked carefully along the courtyard wall to the main house. The moment they stepped on the roof, Chu Xiaoyun felt the difference between the roof and the courtyard wall. His feet creaked and creaked, as if he was about to fall at any moment.

Fang Lingfeng still pointed him out: "Walk where there are tile beams, and lift your feet lightly."

After walking a few meters, Chu Xiaoyun felt his feet flutter more and more, and he said softly to Fang Lingfeng: "Just here, go again I'm worried about being exposed."

Fang Lingfeng turned back.

Chu Xiaoyun said, "Look?"

Fang Lingfeng reached out to remove a tile, and the lights in the room overflowed from the gap. The seemingly random movement did not make any sound. If it was changed to his own actions, the people in the room would have heard the sound long ago.

Although he felt that Fang Lingfeng was not easy to get along with, Chu Xiaoyun still had to admire Fang Lingfeng's ability. The idea of ​​stepping up to practice became more and more urgent. He glanced down at the gap, but he didn't expect that this room happened to be Zhuang Di's study room. Under the candlelight, Zhuang Di was still writing hard.

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Unexpectedly, Zhuang Di is still looking at the account book at this point. It seems that behind every successful person there is dedication that others cannot see." Fang Lingfeng was noncommittal, and was about to close the tiles when

a servant came to report in a hurry : "My lord, the guy at the pier started a fight with the manager."

"What's going on?" Zhuang Di stopped writing and asked.

"The guy at the wharf said that shipments are frequent these days, and he has to work overtime day and night, saying that he needs to pay more." The servant said, "This red bayberry is the most delicate, and if it is delayed, it will lose everything." Zhuang Di put down the pen in his hand:

" Let's go and have a look."

Hejing County is rich in red bayberry, and the quality is particularly good, this season is the season when red bayberry is ripening one after another. The dealers have almost disrupted the bayberry planting market in Hejing County. This time of year is the busiest time at the dealer's wharf. They want to transport the bayberry freshly picked during the day to other cargo distribution docks through waterways overnight, and After the morning market opens tomorrow, people from all over the country will be able to eat fresh red bayberries from Hejing County.

At this time, I really can't afford to waste even a little bit.

The two looked at each other, and Fang Lingfeng closed the tile.

"Follow me to have a look." Chu Xiaoyun said.

After Zhuang Di left the bookstore, the two also left the roof of Zhuang's study.

Zhuang Di went to the pier in a carriage. Besides bringing a few servants with him, he also brought a big wooden box back to the bedroom, and several maids and servants to wait on him.

"It seems that Zhuang Di is going to pay overtime pay to the guys at the dock." Chu Xiaoyun glanced at the big wooden box and said, "Children who can make trouble have milk, and it is like this at any time." Just go out for a while

. After a while, I have to bring a few people to serve, as for it. This was a slander, but Chu Xiaoyun didn't say it. The life of the rich people, whether it is modern or ancient, is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

At night, the carriage was not going fast, and the two of them were evasive, and they could barely keep up without light work. In less than two quarters of an hour, we arrived at the pier. The two hid in the shadow of the trees far away and observed the scene of the pier. Zhuang Di communicated with the guys at the pier for a while, and some servants carried wooden boxes to the pier to distribute something. The men on the docks seemed to have received extra wages and started working again.

Half an hour later, the goods were loaded and the ship left the dock. Zhuang Di has been standing on the pier watching the fleet leave, until the shadow disappeared, and then returned to Zhuang Mansion with people in the carriage.

Chu Xiaoyun and Fang Lingfeng followed up and found nothing unusual, nor did they find any trace of Zhou Ying, so they had to return in vain.

Chu Xiaoyun returned to the yamen, thinking that tonight he would huddle with Su Wen on the couch in the small room, so he could make do with it for the night.

A short walk into the yamen is the fork in the road between the arresting house and the concierge. He and Fang Lingfeng were about to part ways when they saw a person rushing from the arresting house: "Oh, catcher Chu, you are finally back!" .I've been waiting for you for a long time. This is the matter you asked me to investigate before you left. It's all on this. I went out on a business trip yesterday, and now I'm back at the yamen. I don't know if I've delayed your business.

" The person is Zheng Xing who signed the pledge.

Before Chu Xiaoyun went to Gyeongju, he entrusted Zheng Xing, who signed the contract, to help him investigate Zhuang Di's situation.

Chu Xiaoyun took the dossier that Zheng Xing handed over, and couldn't wait to turn on the streetlights of the county government to read it. The first line of words caught Chu Xiaoyun's attention.

[Zhuang Di, at the age of twenty-seven, from Qingzhou Prefecture...]

Chu Xiaoyun said strangely: "Zhuang Di is from Qingzhou Prefecture? Isn't he from Hejing County?

" Jing County is very famous, and we thought he was from Hejing County, but who knew he was from Qingzhou Prefecture."

Chu Xiaoyun remembered the first time he went to Gu Qingyun's house, and the Gu family's parents said that Gu Zhuang and the two were friends, Call it Gu Qingyun [Best friend, moved to Gyeongju Prefecture two years ago, every time I go back to the old house, I will come to see our two old bones].

Isn't Zhuang Di from Hejing County, who moved to Gyeongju Prefecture two years ago? Chu Xiaoyun scrolled through the file and asked, "Is he from Qingzhou Prefecture, or did he

move to Qingzhou Prefecture in the past two years?"

It was originally the villa of the Zhuang family, but it became the symbol of the Zhuang family in Hejing County three years ago." Zheng Xing was puzzled, "Where is he from so important?" "No."

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head. He ignorantly dug out the information about Zhuang Di in his brain, remembering the second time he went to visit Gu Qingyun in the prison. Gu Qingyun once said that on the day Zhou Ying disappeared, Zhuang Di told him, [My father urged me to go to Qingzhou Prefecture for investigation].

All this clearly shows that Zhuang Di is a reasonable person from Hejing County. If Zhuang Di is from Qingzhou Prefecture, he should not express it like this. But Zheng Xing's investigation showed that Zhuang Di was from Gyeongju Prefecture, so why did the Gu family always think that he was from Hejing County? If Zhuang Di is not from Hejing County, but from Qingzhou Prefecture...

"Not good!" Chu Xiaoyun yelled, and shouted in the direction Fang Lingfeng left, "Brother Fang, Brother Fang! Brother Fang, stay!"

Chu Xiaoyun's yelling couldn't help but stopped Fang Lingfeng, and also called the guards who watched the night.

"Chu Butou? Now it's almost midnight, why is the county government noisy?" the patrolling officer asked strangely.

"Brother, I'll explain this to you tomorrow. I'm sorry." Chu Xiaoyun said anxiously, "Brother Fang, there is a situation!"

Seeing that it was Chu Xiaoyun and Fang Lingfeng, the night watchman said helplessly: "Chu Butou will try his best." Keep your voice down, don't make things difficult for your brother."

After asking twice, he left.

"What's the matter?" Fang Lingfeng turned back and asked coldly.

"We were deceived just now, the person who came back in the carriage was not Zhuang Di at all!" Chu Xiaoyun said anxiously.

Fang Lingfeng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"I just remembered now. When I came back, I always felt that something was wrong. There was one less maidservant who followed Zhuang Di back home than when he went to the pier." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Zhuang Di Not from Hejing County, he is from Qingzhou Prefecture. He ran away!"

Fang Lingfeng also frowned: "Then what should we do now? Zhuangfu has a professional fleet, and they have been away for more than half an hour. It's going smoothly again, even if we hurry up, we won't be able to catch up." After spending

more time with Chu Xiaoyun, Fang Lingfeng was forced to talk more.

"Damn it. I said that Zhuang Di, a young master, is so sentimental. He watched a cargo fleet disappear before returning home!" Chu Xiaoyun scolded, "This is clearly a delay. It seems that we He had already noticed it when he went to the Zhuang Mansion."

"What's the use of talking about it now." Fang Lingfeng said coldly.

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Yes. Find the Gu family. The Gu family used to make a fortune in the waterway business. If it weren't for Gu Qingyun's incident, the dealer would not be able to do the current battle in the waterway." "

Then Hurry up!" Fang Lingfeng said.

Seeing the two leave in a hurry, Zheng Xing stood there and asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

"Go and inform Yu He, let him lead people to surround the Zhuang mansion, and thoroughly investigate the Zhuang mansion!" Chu Xiaoyun's voice came from a distance, "And ask the county magistrate to issue arrest documents!"
