Chapter 2119 - Late Night Questioning

Shopkeeper Mao responded in a daze, and was about to fall back to sleep when the sound from outside came again.

"Madam, you'd better let me come over."

"It's over!" Shopkeeper Mao just closed his eyes and was woken up again. He was furious and sat up from the bed. Unexpectedly, because of his age, when he suddenly stood up, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

.

"Master, I don't know who it is that wants to find you?"

Shopkeeper Mao squeezed his head with his hands, and then asked: "Who is looking for me in the middle of the night?"

"He said he was a friend of yours and that the thing you asked him to do has now come to fruition."

As soon as he heard this, shopkeeper Mao immediately woke up. Then he quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

After arriving outside, he asked: "Where is the person?"

"Said I'd be waiting for you in the backyard."

"I understand, go down."

"Yes, sir!"

After watching the servant leave, shopkeeper Mao greeted Mrs. Mao and then walked to the backyard.

There was already a figure in the backyard, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"What's going on? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

"Shopkeeper Mao, what's wrong with you? How did you harm me?"

"Harm you? How did I harm you?"

"That friend of yours harmed me."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know who is at the house of the person your friend asked me to find?"

After Shopkeeper Mao heard this, Monk Zhang Er was confused.

"Who?"

"There is also a friend of mine there, and he is also a junior!"

"No way, what a coincidence?"

"I was almost recognized, and my junior's martial arts skills are much better than mine. It was really thrilling."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know about this!" Shopkeeper Mao explained hurriedly.

"I know you don't know, so I'm just here to tell you. Please tell your friend not to try to make plans for that family. It's useless to kill a few of them."

"So powerful?" Shopkeeper Mao touched his head and said, "Marquis Ankang shouldn't have a grudge with such a person."

"I guess he doesn't know that my friend also lives there."

"Well, you go back first and I'll take care of the rest," Shopkeeper Mao said.

"Go back? It's midnight and I can't get out of the city gate. Where can I go back?"

"Haha, look at my brain. In this way, I will arrange for someone to clean up a room for you, and you can make do with it for one night."

"Okay, by the way, I haven't eaten yet."

"I'll have someone make it for you, and when you leave tomorrow, I'll bring you twenty pounds of new tea that I just picked."

"Haha, okay, now I'm happy."

...

Early the next morning, shopkeeper Mao sent a servant to the house of Marquis Ankang. Without going into details, he just said that the matter could not be done because there was a more powerful character there.

As soon as it was said that there was a more powerful character, Ankang Hou knew immediately that it must be Chi Zhongtian.

After Ankang Hou knew about it, he immediately sent someone to tell Wen Jin about it.

When Wen Jin heard about it, he immediately began to panic. After sending away the people sent by Ankang Hou, he immediately walked to the house where Wen Ru lived.

After entering, Wen Jin first closed the door, then walked to Wen Ru and took out a small bottle from his arms.

He was about to open the small bottle when he suddenly remembered something and then took the bottle back into his arms.

At night, almost midnight, Wen Jin quietly changed into dark clothes, opened the small door to the backyard, and slipped out.

He had grown up in the capital, and he was extremely familiar with every road in the capital. Even at night, he knew exactly which road had more night patrol soldiers and which road had fewer soldiers.

So without much effort, he came to a shop.

There is a square sign hanging outside this shop, with the word "silver" written on it.

"Bang bang." The knock on the door is neither a big deal nor a small one.

After a while, a voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"Zhang Yinjiang, it's me."

"who?"

"It's me."

At this time, there was silence inside for a moment, and then the door opened.

Zhang Yinjiang, who was sleepy and covered in clothes, held a candle lamp in his hand, swung it forward, saw the person clearly and said, "Mr. Zhao?"

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk inside."

With that said, Wen Jin ducked in and walked in.

After Zhang Yinjiang put the candle lamp on the table, Zhang's wife walked in from behind.

"Go back to bed!" Zhang Yinjiang glared at her.

Ever since that night, Zhang Yinjiang's temper has been particularly bad. In the past, he was very obedient to Zhang's wife, but now he is fierce and fierce. If Zhang's wife has anything that dissatisfies him, he will be scolded at least, and slapped at worst.

A few times.

So now Zhang's wife is very afraid of Zhang Yinjiang. When she saw him yelling at her, she hurried back.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here now?"

Wen Jin nodded and said, "Have you melted all my silver?"

"not yet."

"How much more is left?"

"I only melted a few thousand taels." Zhang Yinjiang replied.

"What!" Wen Jin shouted out loud, then lowered his voice and said: "What's going on! It's been a few days, why did you do so much!"

"Well, Mr. Zhao, you don't know. The business of my shop has never been good. If I always melt silver here during the day, I'm afraid of being discovered, so I can only do it quietly in the middle of the night. One day

I was busy working at night, and there was a knock on the door outside. It was the soldiers on night patrol, saying they smelled smoke nearby, which almost scared me to death. Fortunately, my wife fooled them away."

After finishing speaking, Wen Jin grabbed Zhang Yinjiang's clothes and said fiercely: "I don't care! It was agreed at the beginning that at this time, more than half of it has to be done. You only got a few thousand taels. You

This is a lack of credibility!”

"Mr. Zhao, don't be angry, don't be angry. You also know that those things of yours cannot be seen in the light. We are all very careful. Just think about it, what if we do it too fast and someone discovers it?"

It's not you who is unlucky!" Zhang Yinjiang explained while quietly removing Wen Jin's hand.

"Then tell me how long it will take!"

"In this case, you give me three more days. After three days, I will finish it for you immediately!" Zhang Yinjiang replied.

"No, three days is too long!" Wen Jin said angrily.

"Then how long can you tell me?"

"Otherwise, you can work on it all night tonight, as much as you can, and I'll take the rest."
