The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1923: Sleepless Night
But the Patriarch of the Zheng family guessed Dou Yan's intention was wrong. Dou Yan originally wanted to avoid offending both sides. The news of the eldest son of the Zheng family.

But because Chang Le discovered the people Dou Yan sent to follow Dou Xiaoguo, so he told Feng Hao about it, and Feng Hao personally led the people to guard the inn, which was a mistake.

Even Dou Yan could not have imagined that people from the government and county government in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County would all be in that inn, in order to protect the witnesses of the inn.

Dou Yan was completely unclear this time.

The eldest son of the Zheng family sent someone there, and once the officials caught him, there would be no possibility of standing together between Dou Yan and the Zheng family.

Dou Yan cheated the eldest son of the Zheng family, will the head of the Zheng family still believe in Dou Yan?
All he could think was that Dou Yan did it on purpose, deliberately sending such news to his son, so that his son would send someone to deal with the guy at Zhuangzi's inn, and a trap was set up there, waiting to arrest him.

"No way? Why did Dou Yan help the Xuan family?" The eldest son of the Zheng family still held some hope in his heart.

"Why? At first, I thought that the Dou family and the Xuan family were not getting along, but what happened? Miss Xuanjia was kidnapped, and Dou Xiaoguo rushed to save her, and even rescued her. The two children of the Xuan family were right. Do you know how important the Xuan family is? In this way, Dou Xiaoguo is the benefactor of the entire Xuan family. Is the relationship between the Dou family and the Xuan family still tense? Because of this incident, Dou Xiaoguo was directly rewarded by His Majesty as a servant of the Ministry of Rites. Give it to him, now do you know how important the two children of the Xuan family are?" The head of the Zheng family said: "The eldest son of the Xuan family is His Majesty's nephew, although the eldest lady is not from Princess Jinyang, but Xuan Shijing's love for her daughter is no less than that for her son. Therefore, the grievance between the Xuan family and the Dou family is because of this matter. If the two families meet again, the Xuan family will also make concessions. After all, the opposite is a benefactor, and the relationship between the two families is no longer what it used to be."

The Patriarch of the Zheng family also knows who Dou Yan is, and there is nothing wrong with doing things on weekdays. Now that the Zheng family has reached this point, how can he take the initiative to show affection to the Zheng family?

Therefore, the Patriarch of the Zheng family believed that Dou Yan sent the letter to his son because of ulterior motives, and it was very likely that he was helping the Xuan family and helping the Dongshan county government to solve the case.

"Old man Dou Yan!" Hearing what his father said, the eldest son of the Zheng family also felt that he had been fooled by Dou Yan: "He really doesn't delay either side."

That's right, if there are no people from the Dongshan county government in the inn on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, and the people sent by the eldest son of the Zheng family succeed, then the Zheng family must remember Dou's family and Dou Yan's well. .

This old fox.

"That kid, hurry up and send someone to chase after him on a fast horse." The eldest son of the Zheng family said.

The Patriarch of the Zheng family shook his head helplessly: "Now it's time for the curfew, if you send people out, it is inevitable that you will not be discovered by the Jinwu Guards patrolling the city, and even if you send people to chase after it, it is already dark , people have been gone for such a long time, and it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up."

"Then what shall we do?" The eldest son of the Zheng family looked at his father anxiously.

As of now, all we can do is wait.

The Patriarch of the Zheng family is also betting that the people from the county government in Dongshan County have not set up a net in the inn on Zhuangzi. If those people can really deal with all the people in the inn, it will be good for the Zheng family.

At least there are no witnesses, so they can rest easy
Besides, what if?In case Dou Yan still couldn't let go of the grievances between the Xuan family and the Dou family, did he really come to help the Zheng family?
Whether it is true or not, all of this is just the Patriarch of the Zheng family's own guess.

If Dou Yan wanted to help the Zheng family, then what he valued might not only be the power of the Zheng family, but the power of the entire five surnames, seven sects, and seven great families.

There is one more sleepless person tonight, and that is the head of the Zheng family.

After leaving Chang'an City, the people sent by the eldest son of the Zheng family rode fast horses all the way to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County. The shops on both sides of the street have also closed their doors.

There were a total of four people who came, and they led the horses to a place not far from the back door of the inn, tied the horses to a tree, then found a hidden place, put on night clothes, and covered their faces.

"I'll go to the front and knock on the door in a while. You three, go in from the backyard. When the time comes, play by ear. After killing everyone, pretend that the inn is on fire, understand?" the leader said.

"Yes." The other three responded one after another.

The leader did not change into night clothes, but wrapped his weapon in his clothes and carried it behind his back, and went to knock on the door of the inn as if nothing had happened.

By distracting the night watchman in the inn, the other three people can enter the inn from the backyard.

In the lobby of the inn, the county government servant was wearing the clothes of a man, and was napping behind the counter when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Dude, open the door."

This sound made the guard behind the counter wake up in an instant.

"It's late at night, who is it?" the guard said in a voice that pretended not to wake up.

"Staying here." The person outside said.

"The shop is closed and the guest rooms are full, the guest officer should find another place to live." said the guard.

If ordinary people who come to the inn, the situation in the inn tonight, it is for his own good to send people away. If the purpose is not for the people who live in the inn, then he will definitely not leave. Listen to the outside People will know the answer.

At this time, the other three people had already circled to the back of the courtyard, climbed over the courtyard wall, entered the backyard of the inn, and began to look for people in the rooms in the backyard.

"The other inns are also closed. Anyway, just find a place for me to deal with for a night. The money will not be lost to you. If you are in business, how can you not make money?" Outside the door people said.

Hearing the words, the guards inside were sure that this was not just for staying in the inn, how many people lived in the inn on Zhuangzi, and how many people came and went to Zhuangzi every day, the people in the county government office were all counted.

This is their own Zhuangzi, and the servants in the government are all from the Zhuangzi, and they are very concerned about the affairs of the Zhuangzi.

The guard woke up the sleeping colleague next to him.

"People are coming."
