Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 191 See Through
Coming out of the Xiushan County Government Office, the drizzle was actually icy cold, and the weather is getting colder today.

"Let's go, don't go home yet, go to the east gate to have a look."

Zhang Zhe took the umbrella from Zhao Ping's hand and led Zhao Ping to the east gate.

In the east gate, a few minzhuang were holding spears and stomping their feet.For pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, most of them just glance at things at random and let them go.There were several houses beside the city gate, in which forty or fifty people were resting by the fire. When they saw Zhang Zhe come in through the curtain, they all got up and sang.

Zhang Zhe only glanced at the chimney on the roof and the candles in the room, and gave another warning.

"Don't block the chimney because you are afraid of the cold, and the candles can't be extinguished all the time. If they are extinguished, everyone will go outside to get some air, and the same is true in the room."

The leading few who were probably the "two-bag disciples" responded with great care.

After going out, Zhang Zhe looked around the city gate again.

Seeing Zhang Zhe coming, several beggar-born Min Zhuang immediately became more energetic, and the voices of shouting and passing pedestrians became much louder.

"Put down the burden and see what you pick?"

Min Zhuang, who was getting serious, stopped two people dressed as farmers, one of whom was carrying two half-worn baskets.

"Master Hui Jun," some of the more mature farmers among them smiled apologetically, "We are from Daxi Village. The weather is too cold, and many people in the village were frozen to death. It's no wonder that we bought some medicinal materials for frostbite together."

The person who carried the burden also hurriedly took out a crumpled piece of paper, saying it was a form of preparation being opened in the village, and there were more than a dozen fingerprints on it from people who needed to buy frostbite medicine.

Min Zhuang, the leader, was a little annoyed. He knew the word P, but the commander of the battalion was on the scene, so it was not easy for him to get angry.

Zhang Zhe also found it funny, and didn't make a sound, it depends on how this person handles it.

The leader was a beggar leader traveling all over the world, and when he rolled his eyes, he thought of another thing.

"The receipt from the pharmacy, show it to me!"

The seasoned farmer hurriedly took out the receipt from the drug store and gave it to Min Zhuang, the leader.In order to avoid drug accidents in this space-time pharmacy, when prescribing medicines for people, they need the other party to press their fingerprints on their own medicine distribution book and at the same time issue a voucher to the other party.It is about how much money you have been charged, what medicines have been prescribed, and so on.

Min Zhuang, the leader, finally got annoyed and threw the receipt back.

"Master, I can't read, tell me what's written on it?!"

The old farmer hastily apologized, half-bent, pointing to the receipt and saying.

"My lord, it's clear from the above that the Dachun Medicine Shop charges a full amount of silver for the medicine."

Zhang Zhe, who was about to leave, stopped.

He smiled and patted Zhao Ping's shoulder: "Go, call out everyone in the house."

Without hesitation, little Zhao Ping rushed into the house on the other side. Amidst the noise, more than 40 Minzhuang rushed out and blocked the city gate.

The old farmer and his companion looked around in fear, and finally turned their attention to Zhang Zhe, who was obviously dressed differently.

"Bring me the deed of receipt and the village's preparations."

Zhang Zhe didn't get close to those two people, but ordered a Min Zhuang to get them.

The words written on the purchase contract of the Dachun Pharmacy were exactly the same as what the old farmer read just now, and the names of more than a dozen men, women, and children were on the form of preparation, and each of them had their finger prints, big and small.

"Are you literate?"

Zhang Zhe asked the old farmer with a smile.

"My lord, it is clear that the villain was sent by the village to buy medicinal materials because he can read a few words."

Zhang Zhe shook his head, and walked up to several farmers who were about to leave the city. He asked one of the farmers who had frostbite on his face.

"Do you recognize me?"

The farmer didn't know why he found him, and he fell to his knees in fright, and kowtowed twice.

"The little one doesn't recognize the master, please forgive me!"

"It's okay, get up!" Zhang Zhe turned around and went back to the city gate, looking at the two farmers with a smile, "Now you should know where you have exposed yourself, right?"

More than a dozen long spears immediately forced the two of them. The leader Min Zhuang was clever and saw the difference. He cursed loudly: "Stupid thing, the real mud legs will only kowtow when they see my conductor!" Master, you only bend over, but you don't want to put on airs?"

"The villain was frightened," the two hurriedly knelt down.

Zhang Zhe pointed to the collection contract that he heard to be a problem: "A group of mud-legged people bought frostbite medicine with really generous hands and feet, and they used enough money. The money is either official money or military pay. Furthermore, the finger prints on the form, on the names of the old man and the woman, are clearly the little finger prints of the man. Hehe, take them all for me!"

The man carrying the burden suddenly looked up at Zhang Zhe, as if he was about to make a move.However, Zhang Zhe had ordered the Minzhuang people to point seven or eight long spears at different vital points of the man, and they did not dare to move at all.

Seven or eight people rushed forward with ropes and tied them up, and soon found a short knife from the old farmer's leggings.

Zhang Zhe suddenly laughed. He called Xiao Zhaoping and whispered a few words in his ear.

Little Zhao Ping ran towards Ximen with several people.

The Minzhuangs closed the east gate according to Zhang Zhe's order, and Zhang Zhe wanted to block the news.

In the small courtyard not far away, a team of Minzhuang who had been hiding here came out, escorted the two men and followed Zhang Zhe back to the county government office.

Hearing that Zhang Zhe had caught two "spies", Yue Tang rushed out to meet them.

"Believe it, but the spies of the Southern Wu remnant army?"

Zhang Zhe smiled: "Nineteen-eighty-nine, it was freezing cold, those remnants of the Southern Wu army suffered frostbite in the mountains and fields, and frostbite medicine is essential to maintain combat power. Ordinary farmers, how many are willing? Those who buy so much frostbite medicine with silver will pass it after a while."

Yue Tang was surrounded by more than a dozen government servants who followed him from Jiangbei, immediately took over the two men and dragged them to the execution room. One of the two men's face changed slightly, and he suddenly yelled at the people around him.

"Damn Zheng Gou, give grandpa a good time!"

Both Zhang Zhe and Yue Tang looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, little Zhao Ping ran in with a head full of enthusiasm.

"My lord, my lord, sure enough, there are people from Daxi Village who bought a lot of things, including meat and wine. They said it was a happy event in the village, but a quarter of an hour ago, they took a long way out of the city from the west gate!"

Zhang Zhe looked at Yue Tang with a smile: "How can someone remember that there are no auspicious days for the rest of the month? Could it be that Wu people and I, Da Zheng, are not reading the same almanac?"

Director Cao suddenly stepped forward to speak.

"This Daxi village is the old house of the He family, one of the six families. The whole family of the He family was wiped out a few days ago, but only the fourth child of the He family is missing. I'm afraid he is also hiding there!"

Yue Tang patted Master Cao on the shoulder, smiled and did not speak.

After a while, several horses galloped out of the east gate, and ran straight to Dami Township where Wei Po was stationed.
