Chapter 318 Wangjiazhuang

Zhang Yi bid farewell to Cao Nai, took a quick horse and left Beijing, and finally arrived in Changping before dark.

He first found an inn in the county town and ordered some food. After eating, he asked the shop's shop to find a worn-out coarse cloth dress. After thinking about it, he pulled out the hairpin from his head, picked up a chopstick from the table and inserted it.

When I went out again, the shop's guys were shocked.

I don’t remember that there was such a person staying in a hotel, where did it come from?

Zhang Shangqianyi asked, "How do you get to Wangjiazhuang?"

The guy said dumbly: "After leaving the county town, you'll be five miles east."

Zhang Yi clasped his fists and signaled, and then left on his own.

When he arrived at Wangjiazhuang, it was already late and he was about to find someone to ask for directions, but he heard someone say in front of him: "Lucky, let me ask you about something, where is Mr. Wang's house here?"

"Walking forward, the biggest house is!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yi was puzzled and looked forward and saw that the person was dressed similarly to his own clothes, and he was dressed in a coarse cloth. What is amazing is that the same style of chopsticks were inserted on his head.

At this time, the man turned around inadvertently...

Although it was dark, Zhang Yi suddenly recognized the other party, Tang Xinggu?

At the same time, Tang Xinggu also discovered Zhang Yi. The two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Censor Tang!"

Zhang Yi stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Xinggu looked at Zhang Yi's dress and said, "I think... I have the same purpose as Mr. Zhang."

"Um……"

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, let's go together!"

“That’s right!”

The two of them walked along the road and soon saw a high-walled courtyard.

To be honest, they have seen too many luxury houses. Such houses are at most... quite spacious, but they look very generous in the small Wangjiazhuang.

Needless to say, it must be here.

Tang Xinggu went up to the front and pressed the door. Soon, a crack was opened.

The concierge poked half of his head, stared at the two of them and looked up and down, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Tang Xinggu clasped his fists and said, "Is this Mr. Wang's house?"

The concierge said in confusion: "Do you recognize my master?"

"That's right. I missed the shop when I rushed to the road. I heard that Mr. Wang is kind and generous. Can I stay here for a night and take a break?"

This is a set of rhetoric that Tang Xinggu had already prepared, and first test the character of Wang Shichang.

After hearing this, the concierge looked disgusted and said, "My master is not at home, leave quickly!"

Tang Xinggu smiled with his face and said, "But it's getting late and there's no inn nearby..."

The concierge ignored him and shrank his head back. He was about to close the door, but Tang Xinggu saw this and hurried forward and grabbed the crack in the door.

"Hey, I said, "A stinking beggar, are you looking for a beating?"

Tang Xinggu explained: "We are not beggars, we just want to stay overnight, and we hope to have a convenient way."

The concierge had changed his face and said viciously: "I'm going to have annoyed, go somewhere else to beg for food, and let the dog bite you if you don't leave!"

"We really just want to stay for one night, there's nothing else..."

At this time, two lanterns appeared in the distance, and a sedan chair could be seen vaguely. The doorman pushed Tang Xinggu away and said, "My master is back. I advise you to leave quickly and don't make trouble!"

Tang Xinggu was about to speak, but he felt someone pulling his clothes and turned to look. It turned out that Zhang Yi was winking at him.

"Okay, I'm upset!"

After saying that, the two left, but did not go far, but found a corner to hide.

Tang Xinggu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, why are we leaving?"

Zhang Yi also lowered his voice and replied: "If someone doesn't let him in, we can't force him to break in!"

"How to investigate the case if you don't go into the Wang family's house?"

"Do you think we can beat the Wang family's guards?"

"I didn't say I wanted to fight them!"

"If you don't do it, people will move. Can't you still see it? The doorman seems to be used to being arrogant. From this we can see that Wang Shichang is not a good thing either."

Tang Xinggu thought for a while and said, "After that being said, this alone is not enough to explain the problem."

The two of them were muttering. At this time, the sedan chair had already fallen and Wang Shichang walked out.

He is in a bad mood now. Today he went to the county town to visit the county magistrate Wang Ying. The wine and food had just been served, but he had not yet moved his chopsticks. He saw two officers from Shuntian Prefecture coming, saying that it was the prefect who summoned him and asked Wang Ying to go to Shuntian Prefecture to report now.

When Wang Shichang saw that it was from Shuntian Mansion, he planned to curry favor with him, but unexpectedly, the person ignored him and just urged Wang Ying to leave immediately.

Wang Ying was also puzzled, it was dark, so what could he say tomorrow?

Besides, Changping is not far from the capital, and it is completely too late to pass tomorrow morning!

However, the officers did not listen at all, and only said that they had to leave immediately and rushed to Shuntian Mansion overnight. They also said that this was the magistrate personally confessed that if Wang Ying did not leave, he would have to tie him up!

Finally, Wang Ying felt something was wrong and asked, "What happened? Please let me tell me clearly!"

The two officers were helpless, and one of them said, "Liu San's case has alarmed the cabinet. Shuntian Mansion wants to verify the case. Please ask County Magistrate Wang to cooperate!"

"cabinet?"

Wang Ying realized the seriousness of the problem and asked quickly: "Which adult from the cabinet has alarmed?"

The servant replied: "It is Peng Qing, a new cabinet minister. Liu San once went out to sea with Peng Daren. Therefore, Lord Peng is very concerned about this case. Magistrate Wang, don't ask. If you can't get out of here tomorrow morning, then the magistrate will not be able to come to Taiwan!"

Wang Ying nodded and said, "I'll go with you now, but this trip is in a hurry. I want to explain a few words. Please wait for a while outside!"

The two officers agreed and came outside to wait.

Wang Ying grabbed Wang Shichang, explained to him, and then set off and headed to Shuntian Mansion overnight.

In this way, Wang Shichang hurried back to Wangjiazhuang, got out of the sedan chair, and immediately ordered: "You guys, go and tell those who have been witnesses carefully. No matter who asks about this case, the testimony cannot be changed. Otherwise, I will let his whole family bury him with him!"

Zhang Yi and Tang Xinggu listened clearly to these words, and their faces became solemn at the same time.

It seems that there is no need to investigate this case anymore.

Tang Xinggu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, what should I do next?"

Zhang Yi frowned and said, "It's over here, there's nothing to say. Go back and move the troops!"

Tang Xinggu suddenly smiled and said, "The Jinyiwei is on standby in the county town and can move at any time."
