Jiaohua

Chapter 916
Xia Zhaoyi went back to the city to meet Zhan Ning and Tang Taosheng, and it was already midnight.

After nightfall, the streets of Shoushi were extremely quiet. A single wanted warrant fell from the notice board, and Li Man hurried to pick it up.

"Cao Yijun." Xia Zhaoyi read the name on it.

"The general who attacked the battalion." Zhan Ning said, and by the way, he mentioned that an old classmate of Zhu Xian was arrested for his words.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, put away the arrest warrant, and didn't discuss much.

This time when I returned to the city, I no longer went to Jinchuanfang, but took a detour to a small inn to stay.

Zhan Ning whispered about Yuxi Tower while walking.

There was basically no special situation on Master Zhi's side, the biggest incident was Lu Mingfeng's provocation.

Cai He had been shutting himself out for several days, but Cai He's subordinates went out frequently, not knowing what to do.

The people from the military inspection department really paid attention to the grain purchase, and secretly sent many people to investigate.

As for Lu Mingfeng, it was really difficult to check his movements.

After finishing speaking, Zhan Ning asked Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss, how about you, what are you going to do this time out of the city?"

"Well, it's done." Xia Zhaoyi said.

She went out of the city very smoothly this time, or in other words, this Shoushi and his party have been completed.

At that time, he parted ways with the Xia family army and came to Shoushi with the aim of Cai He, Mu Tingyu and Qian Yuandeng.

Taking Shi Guoxin and Li Man out of the city this time is also to find traces of Li Xiao's army.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yuandeng and Mu Tingyu ran into each other one after another, afraid that she would not find them.

What Xia Zhaoyi didn't expect was that there was a rift between Mu Tingyu and Qian Yuandeng, and the split was so severe that she changed her previous plan and killed Qian Yuandeng first, leaving Mu Ting behind. Yu went back to Hejing to take root.

As for Lu Mingfeng's provocation, Zhan Ning said it worriedly: "If we really want to attack Master Zhi, we will not be able to do so on the surface."

"It's not our turn to make a move," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Master Zhi is the god of wealth for many people, and half of the businessmen in Shoushi will protect him, so don't worry."

"Second miss, this is Lu Mingfeng."

"Lu Mingfeng," Xia Zhaoyi repeated these three words, "Actually, it's good to be kind."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Ning said, "Second Miss means that Lu Mingfeng did what he wanted?"

"Well," Xia Zhaoyi stopped, "Go to Zhao Ning's bank immediately and get 300 taels of silver."

"Three hundred...two?" Zhan Ning was stunned.

"This 'business' will be cut off by us," Xia Zhaoyi looked down at the arrest warrant in his hand, "send someone unfamiliar to Lu Mingfeng to hint that we belong to Cao Yijun. Cao Yijun hates Shen Lie, Lu Mingfeng won't be suspicious if he spends this unjustly money."

"But Second Miss, 300 taels is far from enough. At the price of a horse bandit, 300 taels is only enough to pay for two teas. Our silver taels are obviously thrown into the water, and we can't even hear a ding-dong sound. Besides, Mr. Shen Isn't it the second lady's best friend?"

"We will add more silver in the future. Lu Mingfeng asked to send troops a few times, and we will hire a few times." Xia Zhaoyi laughed, his eyes brightened, "Don't worry about the silver issue. Shen Lie has gold and silver. If we really When the mountains and waters are exhausted, I will drag my family and take you to Tanzhou to be raised by him."

"Hahaha..." Zhan Ning and the others laughed.

"I'm afraid, this Mr. Shen is going to drive people away with a broom," Tang Tao said with a smile, "One or two is fine, with a family and a family, more than 1000 people, who can bear it."

"Hahaha, he carried mountains of gold and silver all night long!" Zhan Ning said.

"Pfft!" Xia Zhaoyi was amused.

Tang Tao asked Xia Zhaoyi and the others to go back to the inn first, and Zhan Ning went to Zhao Ning's bank at night.

Because the ticket stub and the ticket number on it were of the special priority category of Ning'an Building, even if Zhan Ning didn't declare his family name, the treasurer of the bank came to entertain him personally.

But cash needs to be dispatched, and Zhan Ning understands the rules, so he just said hello first.

On the way back, Zhan Ning met several groups of soldiers and horses running eastward, and the long street was illuminated by Gao Yao's torches. They were all soldiers in armor, at least 1000 of them.

Zhan Ning hid it first, without revealing it.

After everyone was gone, Zhan Ning had to choose between following up to find out, or going back to the inn first.

At this moment, Zhan Ning found other people who were following in the dark.

After thinking for a while, Zhan Ning followed.

As a scout, Janning is proficient in tracking and anti-tracking.

He followed them all the way, and followed those soldiers to a mansion that was not waiting for someone at a glance, with a plaque "Liu's Mansion" hanging on it.

Then, Zhan Ning was surprised to see the men and women following these soldiers and horses.

At the same time, the inside of the Liu residence was also shocked.

The subordinates came to tell them that although they were prepared, Liu Yun and the butler were still in a hurry.

They ordered the unsuspecting servants in the mansion to leave through the back door, and they took their "insiders" through the secret passage under the bed board of the master bedroom.

Before leaving, they left a sign in a corner and set a fire.

The air in the secret road was very smelly. While running, Liu Yun thought hard about what went wrong.

The housekeeper told him not to think too much, but to pay attention to the road under his feet.

It is impossible to call too many craftsmen in the secret way to carry out major repairs, and the few who called were secretly executed long ago.The entire secret road is rugged and steep, and it stumbles in the dark, with only a weak kerosene lamp for lighting.

As the biggest and tallest person on the scene, Deputy General Qiu suffered the most.

He knocked his head against the wall a few times, and a very large blood bag appeared.

He covered his head and started to get angry, Liu Yun, the housekeeper and others had no choice but to bite the bullet and be scolded.

He came out in the backyard of another mansion, about five hundred steps away from Liu's mansion.

The air was suddenly fresh, and Deputy General Qiu reached out and grabbed Liu Yun's collar: "What the hell is going on?!"

Liu Yun was also thinking hard about his conversation with the little official today.

As an oil merchant, he cares about asking a few questions about market purchases, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of Cao Yijun's arrest warrant.

Maybe it's not because of today, but because he was targeted early.

Deputy General Qiu was furious, and threw Liu Yun to the ground: "You are a waste! No wonder you are asked to come to Shoushi. Those who are capable and capable, who is not going to the capital? Waste!"

The butler helped Liu Yun up.

Liu Yun lowered his head, not daring to speak.

It's useless to say anything, and now there are voices shouting "Fire" all around.

When the fire came together, everything turned into ashes, and the painstaking efforts of so many years disappeared.

Just at this moment, many voices came from below the secret passage.

"Walk here!"

"It's here!"

"Follow closely, watch out for an ambush ahead!"

Liu Yun and others stared wide-eyed.

Deputy General Qiu cursed: "You are a secret bird! You are the only one who broke the secret path! You can't even build a secret path!"

"Now we can only run separately!" The butler hurriedly said, "Deputy General Qiu, let's go!"
