Chapter 97(1/2)
Cui Cheng and Cui Cai bought a carriage with their young master Wang Yi.
Firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive in the capital, and the price of one carriage can buy three in the four towns of Anbei.
While it was still dark, he took a carriage and drove out of the city.
...........
On the outskirts of Beijing, a carriage had just left the capital.
Running all the way towards the official road.
"drive!!"
Not long after, two fast horses blocked the way ahead.
The boy who was driving the carriage was startled. He looked like he was robbing someone.
This is an official statement, and he has just left the capital.
"Everyone..."
Before he could say anything more, the Zhang brothers gathered around him.
"Brother! The carriage is empty."
Zhang Deming said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Damn, I fell into a trap! Go back."
The group of people hurried back.
But now, there is still no time.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Zhang Deming looked gloomy.
After a long while, he suddenly said: "What about the mother and daughter?"
"Which mother and daughter?" Zhang Dehai was stunned.
"They are the mother and daughter who were insulted by Gong'er."
"Put it back."
"Catch it back!"
"Brother...this..." Zhang Dehai looked embarrassed, "We are on the cusp of the storm now. Aren't we just waiting to give others an excuse?"
"I can't control that much now!"
Zhang Dehai gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will ask someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the mother and daughter."
............
In the ninth month of Renyin, it rained in the capital.
The rain fell quickly and got heavier.
Just like the Milky Way bursting its banks, thousands of waterfalls fell from the sky.
The water splashing on the eaves has its own strange shape.
"Today, I am leaving the city."
Li Pingan said to Jing Yu calmly.
Jing Yu didn't expect it to happen so soon, but it was indeed reasonable.
The Zhang brothers are doomed.
He found out that the Inspectorate was investigating the Zhang brothers for a total of fifty-eight crimes.
Abuse of power, forcing girls into prostitution, corruption and bribery...
There were dozens of people involved, and almost every one of them was a capital offense.
It is estimated that the Zhang family brothers are in a state of distress right now.
I have no time to talk to Li Pingan.
Jing Yu came to his senses and said, "I'll give it to you."
After leaving the academy, Jing Yu and Li Ping'an came to a street noodle stall in the capital.
It is very close to the Zhang family's residence.
Turn around the corner and it's less than 500 meters away.
"Boss, three bowls of scallion noodles, plus a plate of pickles, and we'll get some cooked food."
Li Pingan sat down and said, "I'll treat you to this meal. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across.
Forcibly split the sky that was already torn apart by dark clouds into two halves
"Here comes the face~"
Li Ping'an put on his hat and said, "I'm going to relieve myself."
Jing Yu smelled the fragrant green onion noodles and said, "Hurry up, or the noodles will get cold."
"Um."
Li Pingan walked quickly into the rain.
Raindrops fell rapidly from the sky.
Under the influence of the wind, thin white lines are pulled out.
Scratched on the bluestone floor.
I turned a corner but didn't go to the toilet.
Instead, he walked to a mansion.
There are four big characters written on the plaque above, "Ziyang Shize"
Zhang family residence.
"Bang bang!!"
Knock, knock, knock.
It was probably because of the heavy rain and strong wind that no one inside heard it.
Li Pingan increased his strength.
After a while, a voice finally came from inside.
Then the door was opened.
"Excuse me...who are you looking for?"
Li Ping'an said in a deep voice: "I'm looking for Zhang Deming, Mr. Zhang."
...........
In the lobby of the Zhang family, Zhang Deming was looking through the files over the years.
Try to find something to justify yourself.
These cases are only between permission and disallowance, which means that as long as the superiors turn a blind eye, you can escape.
This is an eternal law of officialdom.
If someone is just trying to trick you, it will be useless no matter how good your excuse is.
Now I hope to find the mother and daughter soon, and then force out the bastard who killed his son.
Zhang Deming closed the file.
He rubbed his forehead and sighed.
He waved to the housekeeper, "Have those girls been dealt with?"
"Not yet."
"Just in time, let's go relax."
There is a side room in Zhang Mansion, which is specially used to detain some women who were abducted from other places.
The effect is naturally self-evident.
But now that the situation is at the forefront, Zhang Deming asked the housekeeper to deal with these girls.
Fortunately, the housekeeper didn't act so quickly.
Zhang Deming lifted his pants and just stood up.
A man wearing a hat suddenly walked in. He was not a servant in the house.
"Who?"
