Chapter 199 Saint, Three Caves
Jiang Qingzhi stood up and left. Ning Yu was about to see him off, "Uncle..."
"This place..." Jiang Qingzhi turned around and glanced at the room, "It's a good place to sleep."
"Are you leaving now, Uncle?" Ning Yu saw him to the door.
"gone."
Jiang Qingzhi yawned, waved his hand, and went downstairs without looking back.
Dou Jialan looked back before going down.
The fairy-like woman was standing outside the door, looking a little surprised.
The old playboy had gone somewhere unknown. Jiang Qingzhi walked out of Baiyun Tower, and Mo Zhan was waiting outside. "Master, I noticed someone was watching us."
"Lu Bing is worried that I will interfere." Jiang Qing got on the horse.
"Chang Wei Bo!" The person who came was Zhu Hao.
Jiang Qingzhi looked down at him from his horseback.
"The commander said that my Jinyiwei has already taken action against Wu Hua."
"Tell Lu Bing that I don't have the heart to compete with him." Jiang Qingzhi rode away.
"Haha!" Zhu Hao sneered from behind, "If you don't have this intention, I won't believe you will walk out of Baiyun Tower today."
"After twenty years, Baiyunlou is the top star again!" A passerby glanced at Baiyunlou, "I wonder who won the first place."
If someone else had won, he or she would definitely still be staying in Ning Yu's boudoir, working hard and unwilling to leave.
"What a pity, you're a step late!" Zhu Hao got on his horse and said, "Let's go."
A window on the second floor opened, and a young girl stuck her head out to take a look, then went back.
Ning Yu sat on the edge of the bed, playing with the jade flute in her hand.
"Miss, Jiang Qingzhi is gone."
Her indigo-like eyebrows slightly frowned, "First, there was the incense that helped me sleep, and then there were other means. I prepared a lot, but this person actually disdained me..."
"Miss, let alone a man, I feel moved when I see you. Jiang Qingzhi must be in trouble! By the way, isn't it said that he and Lu Bing have been fighting over the corruption in the Ministry of War? I guess he is worried!"
"mandarin duck."
"exist."
Ning Yu put down the jade flute, "This boy is indeed a great talent. If he had not been defeated by Yan Song, Lu Bing and others, he would have been in power in ten years. We must keep an eye on him and find an opportunity to approach him."
"Young lady, how could he bear to leave such a beautiful lady like her?" The maid was called Yuanyang. She covered her mouth and laughed, "He will definitely come back."
Knock knock knock!
"Who?" Yuanyang asked after walking to the door.
"I."
The door opened, and the madam came in, squatting and saying, "Miss, Zhu Xizhong is on the second floor now, do you want to..."
Ning Yu shook his head. "Zhu Xizhong is a close minister to the emperor, but his talent is limited. Such people rely on the emperor's favor to maintain their wealth and status, which is not worth it."
"Yes." The madam raised her eyes, "What does the young lady think?"
“I can’t see through this person either.”
"He killed many people from the Holy Church in Datong!" Yuanyang snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that Miss wanted to make plans in the capital, she could have killed him earlier and avenged those brothers from the Holy Church."
"Shut up." Ning Yu looked at Yuanyang coldly, "Zhao Quan hid in the grassland to plot Datong. Wang Meng was brave but not wise. How could he be a match for Jiang Qingzhi? Most of the followers who died were killed by Zhao Quan's incompetence."
"Cao Ying wrote to me a while ago, saying that preaching in Datong is more difficult than before. In addition, Zhao Quan is now fighting fiercely with Altan Khan..."
The madam whispered, "I'm afraid Zhao Quan will persuade Altan to go south."
"Zhao Quan calls himself the leader, but I have never recognized him." Ning Yu sat upright, slightly suppressing his smile.
A sense of holiness makes one want to bow down.
"Tell Cao Ying that the missionary work in Datong should not be rushed. It is better to be slow and not chaotic."
"Yes."
"By the way, Jiang Qingzhi's two guards were standing outside the door before. One of them was full of fierceness, but he only glanced at me, and the murderous aura surged out without concealment..." The old procuress recalled the guard who had his hand on the hilt of the knife, and couldn't help but praise him secretly.
"Then it would have been difficult to attack Jiang Qing before." Yuanyang stuck out her tongue.
"Jiang Qingzhi's place... Today I misjudged this person. I was only concerned with my defense, but I didn't expect that he would leave without any regrets. From now on, I have to reconnect with this person... Remember, if Jiang Qingzhi comes again, you have to be more proactive."
The madam and the mandarin duck saluted.
"Yes, Saint."
……
Xu Wei brought a few guards to the door of the Lan family.
"Use the people from the Eastern Depot to hurry up." Xu Wei ordered.
If you want to search the house of a minister, you can't do it privately. Jiang Qingzhi asked someone to ask the palace for instructions, and Emperor Jiajing ordered the East Factory to send someone.
Not long after, more than ten men from the Eastern Depot arrived.
The team leader was a eunuch who clasped his hands and said, "Today we are here to act, not talk."
You tell me what to do, and I'll do it.
I'm sorry if anything happened, it has nothing to do with our East Factory.
Official slicker... Xu Wei was not angry but happy, "Today's search focuses on property and letters."
"I know." The eunuch nodded, "These people are all good, just give them orders."
——Full cooperation!
This was Rui Jingxian's order before departure. The East Factory commander said sinisterly at the time: "Let's just watch the fight between that Chang Wei Bo and Lu Bing. Of course, if he can really suppress Lu Bing, then we don't mind giving him a beating and fighting him."
"Knock on the door!"
The door is open.
The old servant rubbed his eyes and said, "What are you waiting for..."
"Search under orders."
Xu Wei pointed inside, and the men from the Eastern Depot rushed in.
“This, this…” Lan Shou’s wife came out and smiled bitterly, “There is nothing in this house that is worth searching!”
Xu Wei walked in and said, "Whether it's worth it or not, we'll know after checking."
……
"Commander."
Lu Bing sat in the main hall of the Wu family with his horse and sword. A Jinyiwei came to report, "Xu Wei took the people from the East Factory to the Lanshou family." "I got the first step to the Wu family. Jiang Qingzhi is desperate." Lu Bing said, "Just keep an eye on him."
"Last year, Lan Shou's inner garment was so worn out that it was hanging down, and he was accused by the censor of being disrespectful. It shows how poor he was." A centurion laughed and said, "Jiang Qingzhi dared to search and inspect such a person. Let's see what he can find out."
"Hold on tight." Lu Bing ordered.
"Yes."
……
Ranshou family.
The guards were searching everywhere with great experience.
Xu Wei was standing under the eaves. Sun Bu Tong whispered, "These guys are good. What the uncle said... they are very dedicated."
"The East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are in a check-and-balance relationship. Even if Rui Jingxian and Lu Bing are brothers, they have to confront each other at this moment." Xu Wei sneered, "They are just two dogs."
"But the Lan family is really poor." Sun Bu Tong admired, "I took a look at Lan Shou's bed. It has been used for at least ten years."
A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch came out and said, "After a preliminary search, no valuables worth noting were found. In addition, there were quite a few letters, but most of them were family letters and exchanges with friends, so there was nothing taboo about them."
"Have you searched everywhere?" Xu Wei asked when he saw the guards and the guards coming out.
"The Lan family's house is small to begin with. Ten or so people should have found even a fly if they spent a quarter of an hour searching." The eunuch sighed, "Tell Long Wei Bo that we have done our best. Sorry."
The bandits gathered together, but Lan Shou's wife said angrily, "My husband is an honest man, who is spreading rumors? I will definitely ask him for an explanation later."
The eunuch chuckled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, but Mr. Xu, Lanshou has an excellent reputation. Once the outside world knows about this, your uncle will probably have a headache for a while."
Xu Wei looked around and suddenly asked, "Who lives next door?"
The eunuch shook his head, "I really don't know. Why?"
Xu Wei asked, "Why aren't there any dogs barking?"
"Dog barking?" The eunuch glanced at the wall.
Xu Wei pointed to the next door and said, "Knock on the door!"
The eunuch sighed, "Why bother? If the family next door is dissatisfied, they will spread the word everywhere, which will also be bad for your uncle's reputation..."
Xu Wei said firmly: "Investigate!"
"Forget it, this is the last time." The eunuch pointed to the next room, and the guards left the Lan family in silence.
Knock knock knock!
No one answered the door.
"Knock again!"
Knock knock knock!
After an unknown amount of time, an old voice came slowly. "Who is this?"
"Open the door, something's up."
The door slowly opened, and an old man looked at everyone blankly, "What's going on?"
"Who is your master?" Xu Wei asked.
The old man said, "I am the master, what's the matter?"
Xu Wei's eyes turned cold, "Search!"
The guards rushed in.
The old man stamped his feet and said, "What are you doing in broad daylight? Someone, come! There's a thief!"
Xu Wei sneered, "It's useless to call anyone to do the job according to the emperor's order. Tell me, who is the owner of this house?"
The old man said, “It is me.”
The eunuch said, "Why do you bother the old man?"
"Don't cry until you see the coffin!" Xu Wei said coldly: "It must be here."
"Can you predict the future?" The eunuch couldn't help but taunt him, "If we find any problems here, we'll eat the money."
"You said it!" Xu Wei pointed to the inner room. "Every household in this alley has a dog. When I came in earlier, the dogs kept barking, which shows that the public security is unstable. When I entered the Lan family, the dogs on the left kept barking, but the one on the right was silent."
“Maybe there’s no dog.”
"That's one reason. Second, the search just now caused such a big commotion that anyone would go out to watch the fun."
At this moment, there were at least dozens of people in the alley, watching the excitement at their doorsteps.
“And this family didn’t make any move.”
"An old man is at home, with difficulty walking and hearing loss..."
"The clothes he wears are worth at least 500 coins." Xu Wei pointed at the old man and said, "An old man who can wear clothes worth 500 coins, and whose legs and feet are inconvenient and whose ears are not good... How much does it cost per month to hire a servant in the capital? Is he saving the money to see the King of Hell?"
The eunuch was startled, "What you said makes me start to doubt him."
The eunuch slowly looked at the old man.
The old man was trembling.
"Found it." Cheers came from inside.
Pfft!
The old man knelt down and said, "I am just looking at these things. This has nothing to do with me!"
Several guards brought out a wooden box and opened it...
Strings of copper coins flashed yellow in the sunlight.
"Here's the silver!"
"There are a few more gold bars... and here..."
Next door, Lan Shou's wife screamed, "That's not my home, that's not my home! Oh my God..."
"Here are the letters!"
A guard found the letter and handed it to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei took it and took a look.
"It's Ranshou's own handwriting."
There was a plop from next door.
"The woman fainted."
The eunuch looked at Xu Wei and said, "Damn, this is a talent!"
Xu Wei raised the letter in his hand and said, "Go tell Lord Bo that I have accomplished my mission!"
