Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 125 Showdown with stolen silver (Part [-])
The master was in a good mood, and Mu Tong and the others were of course also happy. The whole afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the officials discussing matters in the study were pulled out again and again, and he was sitting at the door basking in the sun and dozing off while he was busy.

I didn't wake up until the sun was westward and my body was a little cold, "How is it inside?"

The door guard replied, "Only Lord Su is still inside."

Mu Tong looked at the sky, "It seems that His Highness is going to have dinner with Master Su." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the waiter came forward immediately, "The dinner is very rich, bring Master Su."

"Yes, Wooden Guard."

Mu Tong pushes the door open to enter the study.

Xiao Wu appeared in front of him with a flustered expression, "Wooden guard, wait—"

Xiao Wu is the head of the dark guards. He always sees the head but doesn't see the tail and has a lack of expression. Why is he so flustered today? Mu Tong's mind turned, and he immediately became nervous, "You won't tell me that something happened to Miss Shen, right?" Today His Highness was planning to marry her in the morning, why did something happen in the afternoon, Mu Tong's heart was pounding.

Xiao Wu said, "I don't know yet, but the two hidden guards are lost."

This is not an accident, in the winter, Mu Tong's body is sweating, "When did it happen, why are you only reporting now?"

"Two hours ago, Miss Shen went to a restaurant to eat, and after eating, she went out to go shopping, and we were lost after walking around." Xiao Wu was also anxious.

Others don't know what Miss Shen's position is in His Highness's heart, but Mu Tong can understand it very well, and quickly pushed the door open, "Come in with me."

Xiao Wu followed Mutong to Ji Chong.

After a busy afternoon, Ji Chong didn't even take a sip of water, but his face didn't look tired at all, and he was talking to Mr. Su about the marriage, "Go to Chu Palace and tell my father, what happens next, he Naturally know what to do."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."

The master is 29 years old, and it doesn't matter whether Miss Shen is good enough or not. The important thing is that His Royal Highness finally wants to get married. Getting married means that the regent will have an heir, and if he has an heir, he will inherit it. Only those who follow him can feel at ease.

Arranging the marriage, Ji Chong's whole body was shrouded in a faint joy. Even if he had been busy all day, he didn't feel tired, and even had a kind of excitement, wanting to see a certain young lady right away.

"Mutong, prepare the carriage." He was going to meet someone at the North Moat Inn.

Mu Tong shrank his head and clamped his neck, with a crying face.

Ji Chong's face darkened, "What's going on?" His gaze followed Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu looked down at the ground, and also felt that His Highness's eyes shot at him like a knife, stabbing him with chills all over.

After scanning around, none of the two returned, Ji Chong narrowed his eyes, "I'll ask again, what's going on?"

Mu Tong and Xiao Wu looked at each other unconsciously.

Ji Chong was about to speak.

The door attendant sang, "Guard Hovenia, please see me."

Zhishi swirled in like a gust of wind, "His Royal Highness, the person who sealed the crown prince sent news that the birthday outline transported by the prefect of Xiangheng Chao has arrived by land by water, and it is three hundred miles away from the capital."

Ji Chong tapped his fingers on the table lightly, "According to the original plan, let General Zhao Lingyuan go and capture the stolen money himself."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhishi disappeared instantly like a gust of wind.

Ji Chong got up, walked around the big desk with his hands behind his back, "I'll punish you when I come back." Today is a good day, and he doesn't want to punish you.

"Your Highness, Miss Shen is not at Tongtai Inn." Mu Tong hurriedly took the opportunity to speak.

Ji Chong stopped and looked at him sideways, "What do you mean?"

Mu Tong signaled Xiao Wu to speak.

"Just... our people followed..." Xiao Wu felt that the position of the head of the dark guard might be lost, and said as if death was at home, "Miss Shen is gone."

"Where's Huang Dali?"

"Lieutenant Huang's people have been separated, one part is protecting Shen Yuan's family, the other part is protecting Miss Shen's mother, Boss Yu and others, so..."

"So there's no one around in early summer?"

Xiao Wu knelt down with a thud, "Please punish the crime, Your Highness."

"What about the two secret guards who kept replying to messages?"

"One disappeared, and the other was looking for someone with Captain Huang."

Ji Chong glanced at him with stern eyes, "Who are you looking for?"

"The old stupid camel who has been helping Miss Shen find out the news."

Ji Chong stopped when he was about to step out of the study, "Did you find it?"

"Go back to Your Highness, I found it. He recently rented a small courtyard, which is in the alley not far behind Zhangji Restaurant in the city."

"What I'm asking is, have you found Chu Xia?" Ji Chong was patient and his voice was not hurried.

"He said he just saw him this morning, but he doesn't know where he went now."

Ji Chong sneered, this guy stopped Chu Xia in the morning, he raised his eyes, "Take him here."

"..." Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, realizing that this was an opportunity for him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds from His Highness, and immediately resurrected, "Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Tong immediately followed the master, "His Royal Highness, half an hour ago, someone from Hopu said that Gao Shaoqing went to Zhang Ji Restaurant and was having a romantic relationship with Zhang Ji's owner, Miss Zhang."

"What is the most powerful dog around him doing?"

"Two were invited by officials who came to Beijing to have a drink in Yihonglou, one was invited by a businessman to watch sumo in Washi, and a nephew who came with his hometown went out of the capital to buy land."

"Check each one carefully for me."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Tong immediately turned around and arranged.

Su Juesong came out of the office, "Your Highness..."

"Go to Yunbei to transfer my army, and then put pressure on the Jingzhao Mansion to block all the river gates near the capital."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lord Su hurriedly went to execute it.

Evening night, cold and windy.

Old Han Tuo was carried to the Prince Regent's carriage.

Ji Chong was condescending, and cast his eyes on the black, skinny and shriveled man kneeling on the floor of the carriage, his deep black eyes revealed the coldness and scheming of a superior.

"The hunchbacked hunchback, or Hua Tuo's Tuo?" He raised his eyes, and his body swayed with the carriage. To be honest, this person seemed to have the innate posture of a king.

It seems that no matter how others fight, rob, or snatch, he will eventually hold the world in his hands, and people are subdued by his awe-inspiring glory without knowing it.

But old Hantuo is not an ordinary person. He has lived in the dirtiest corner of the capital all year round, and he has seen through everything. If the man in front of him has shown everything to him, then there is no Gao Clan, and his vengeance has long been Reported.

With a low voice, not in a hurry, "Some people think it's a hunchbacked hunchback, and some people call me Uncle Tuo."

Ji Chong glanced at him, his frivolous eyebrows were his disdain, and the corners of his mouth were half curled up, his sneer, "Uncle Tuo?"

Mu Tong said sharply: "Quickly tell me, where did Miss Shen go?"

Old Han Tuo smiled faintly, "I've said it all, I saw her in the morning, but I didn't know about it in the afternoon."

Still unable to pry out a word, Ji Chong pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, "If Chu Xia loses a single strand of hair, I'll scrape a piece of your flesh."

Old Han Tuo knelt with his head bowed, the carriage was rushing forward, shaking unbearably, but he straightened his body and remained motionless.

Mu Tong looked at his master, asking if he wanted to continue the interrogation.

Ji Chong raised his hand, "Take it down."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In a blink of an eye, old Han Tuo was taken away, and Ji Chong raised the curtains of the car, "Is there any news about Chu Xia?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Gao Shaoqing is still in Zhangji Restaurant. At present, his entourage and guards are still standing outside and have not gone upstairs."

Ji Chong tapped his legs lightly with curved fingers, "Has Jingzhao Mansion sealed off all the water?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Cask said again, "All land routes are also strictly checked."

From afternoon to midnight, I rode on horseback for a long time, covering nearly [-] miles. "Little rabbit, didn't you say that it is not far outside the city? How did you ride so far?"

If she hadn't learned how to ride a horse in modern times, she would have been thrown to the road by the horse long ago, she would still be able to run so far.

The little rabbit doesn't know how to ride a horse, and the old Han Tuo sent someone to ride with him. At this moment, he has already fainted and squatted on the ground to vomit.

Old Han Tuo's subordinates whispered, "I'm sorry, little brother Shen, my master can't do anything about it, I hope you can understand." The young man really didn't expect that the little lady could ride a horse, and she could run nearly [-] miles in one go. I have a lot of respect for her.

Shen Chuxia was tired and thirsty, with his hands on his hips, and he had no strength to speak, so he looked at the five horses and seven or eight people around him, "How many people are betting on the silver cart?"

One million taels of silver must appear in the form of a dart or a caravan.

"Brother Shen guessed right. There is indeed a bodyguard team escorting the car. However, they switched from the water route to the land route under the sign of escorting the family members of the prefect in Xiangxi back to Beijing for the New Year. The whole bodyguard team has 28 people."

"But there are only eight of you, can you fight three with one?"

The young man shook his head, "Of course not. Over the years, Master has trained many people for revenge. Grand Master Gao celebrates his birthday every year, and many people come to Beijing to give gifts every year. For this year's 59th birthday, Master, The manpower has already been prepared, and they are lurking in this town."

In ancient times, the birth date of men was nine, and ten for women.

Of course, the birthday of Mrs. Gao's [-]th birthday is very grand. Given the grandness, of course the gifts from below should not be taken lightly, especially when Ji Chong went to Hengnan for strict investigations. Corrupt officials had to do their best to save their lives. Give gifts to Mrs. Gao in order to get his protection.

"Since you are so well prepared, why did you call me over?"

The young man said, "Master said that with Brother Shen's support, we have greater confidence in success."

Bigger, old Hantuo brought her here just to get the revenge fund under Ji Chong's nose, in fact, to get a bargaining chip in front of Ji Chong for his son.

"Has someone from His Highness come?" she asked.

The young man shook his head first, and nodded after thinking about it, "So please help me, Brother Shen, how can we get the money first?"

What a headache, if Ji Chong hadn't said to wait for her father to come back to propose marriage, maybe Shen Chuxia could still help old Han Tuo, but now... where is this going to go, do you still have to talk about it?

What can a person who does not want to help but is forced to help?It's messed up everywhere.

Old Han Tuo had always been in the lower ranks, and the people he recruited had different abilities. In the dark of night, Shen Chuxia easily slipped into an inn with them.

"See, there's all their driving packages and boxes in the luggage room near the stables."

The corners of the boxes were probably made of aluminum leather, and there was a faint cold light in the night. Shen Chuxia counted them, and there were ten boxes in total.

As a businessman, she was fortunate enough to see how much silver Boss Yu used in a box. The box she saw with her eyes was 10 taels a box.
