Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 53
Zhang Chen followed the yamen servant to the hall and saw that the rest of the gods were already waiting in the hall, so he greeted everyone with a smile and sat down beside him.

Before Zhang Chen asked what was going on, the figures of the three adults walked into the room, looked at the people in the room, and said with a smile:

"The reason why the emperor summoned us here is to settle down the family. Although the case was hastily closed due to the pressure of Cai Xiang's party, the emperor who entered the palace today secretly told the six doors to continue the investigation."

The rest of the headhunters clasped their fists in the direction of the palace and saluted and said:

"Emperor Shengming!"

Zhuge Shenhou pressed his hand to signal for silence, and then he spoke again, "After discussing Zhang Chen's plan, I think it is worth a try. This time, Master Liu and I will invite An Shigeng, Zhang Chen, you and Leng Xue and others to come with me at the Zuiyue Tower banquet." Let's look at the way of An Shigeng first.

After An Shigeng left, the rest of the people arrested and searched the manor on the outskirts of the city to wipe out the soldiers. As for the Patriarch of An's family, he doesn't care about the emperor's other arrangements for the time being, we just need to be responsible for An Shigeng not to let him escape."

Everyone nodded and said that they deployed their actions according to Shenhou's arrangement, while Zhang Chen and others walked slowly to Zuiyue Tower with the three adults.

The sky was getting darker, and the hustle and bustle of the streets in the capital gradually weakened. The evening breeze blew through the pedestrians on the street, bringing a sense of coolness, as if to wake everyone up.

The big red lanterns in front of Zuiyue Tower are hung high, and the firelight shines on the land in front of the gate tower through the bright red lanterns, as if guiding people to come.

Before the group arrived at the gate of Zuiyue Tower, a head catcher in blue came to report. An Shigeng accepted the invitation from the adults and came to the banquet later. Catcher and others nodded and entered Zuiyue Tower.

When I entered, I saw Ji Yaohua and other female arresters. They were dressed in formal attire with six doors and looked extremely solemn. Zhang Chen gave Ji Yaohua a look and asked via voice transmission:
"I passed the news to An Shigeng, but he didn't say anything?
Ji Yaohua looked at the sisters behind her with worry and replied:
"I informed him according to the previous discussion, but he seems to have doubts about me. This is why he asked me to bring my sisters to Zuiyuelou. I don't know what his purpose is."

"Don't worry, today is the end of An Shigeng and the day of your freedom, you don't need to arrange the rest," Zhang Chen comforted after seeing the panicked expression on Ji Yaohua's face.

The lobby on the first floor of the Zuixian Building has already cleared the seats, and everyone performed their duties to find their seats. Zhang Chen felt that the Zuiyue Building was too quiet tonight. There are many guests on weekdays, and the crowds are very lively. , but today the building is as usual, but the surroundings are eerily silent, which is quite different from the usual scene.

Seeing that the waiter at the side turned out to be the big wolf from Shenhou Mansion, Zhang Chen called him aside and said:
"Shenhou actually booked this Zuiyue Tower with a lot of money. It must have cost a lot. What about the other people in the mansion?"

The big wolf leaned closer to Zhang Chen's ear and whispered:
"Hey! This is what Shenhou asked the proprietress for a long time. Some of the rest are helping in the back kitchen, and some are waiting on the second floor to serve the adults for dinner."

Zhang Chen nodded and asked Big Wolf to continue working, and then took advantage of An Shigeng's absence to observe the situation in the building so that he would not be clear about the arrangement later in the fight.

While Zhang Chen was observing the environment, there was a sound of thumping footsteps, and it was obvious that An Shigeng had come.

A young man in luxurious attire walked up the stairs with an evil smile on his face, and he seemed arrogant and domineering as he walked around.

Looking at the situation on the second floor, Zhang Chen thought that these three are old foxes. It seems that there is a good show about to be staged. I hope that An Shigeng will persist so that we can watch a few more scenes.

Sure enough, An Shigeng sat down beside Catching God and said impatiently:
"Hey hey! It's not the six doors' adults who invited me to the banquet, what's your business?"

After An Shigeng opened his mouth, Zhuge Shenhou straightened his face, stretched out his hand and saluted and said:
"Young Master of the An family! I have been waiting for you for a long time. This time, because some clues related to the case of the copper mold involve the young master, I specially invite the young master to come and talk about it."

When An Shigeng heard Zhuge Shenhou's straightforward question, his somewhat rampant expression suddenly changed and he said coldly:
"You don't know the strength of my family, do you? How much profit can a mere copper coin make me condescend to do such dirty things?"

Zhuge Shenhou continued to say to An Shigeng without any change in his smile:
"Of course, I know the strength of the An family, but you don't necessarily know the people under your command. In the past, the shopkeeper of the Jiangnan Hua family's bank also deceived the top and bottom to make fake bank notes. How similar is it to today's copper mold case? I am also the same here. Kindly remind Master An to beware of house thieves."

When Zhuge Shenhou talked about the Hua family's counterfeit banknote case, Catching God and Guo Juxia clearly felt the fluctuation of An Shigeng's fleeting inner breath. Under the circumstances, it still did not escape the detection of the two of them.

Just as An Shigeng was about to answer, Guo Juxia suddenly interjected, "I was fortunate enough to meet your father once when I was in the rivers and lakes. I was in the imperial court and had a lot of business. I have never met in this capital. I don't know how your father is."

An Shigeng knew that Guo Juxia was stronger than the other two, so he changed his attitude and told An Yunshan that he had been in retreat recently, and this time he was waiting for his father to invite Guo Juxia to come and talk.

...........................

The three of them were arguing with each other here, and chatting about the situation in the court, and the tense atmosphere cooled down slightly for a while.

Just when a few people were arguing with each other, a somewhat embarrassed headhunter in black came to Zhang Chen and whispered that they had captured all of them in the manor on the outskirts of the city, but the undead soldiers seized in the basement A dozen were missing.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen immediately ordered the guards ambushing at the side to search around the restaurant and make sure to find out the hiding places of those soldiers.

After assigning the task, Zhang Chen hurried to the second floor and bowed to everyone, saying:

"My lords, just now there is an urgent official document submitted by the six doors, and I need you to go back and deal with it."

Seeing what Zhang Chen said, the three of them understood that the manor's operation was going well, and that they could collect the net and take An Shigeng here.

The three led An Shigeng downstairs and clasped their fists together and said:
"I'm really sorry! The urgent document should not be mistaken, next time I will definitely invite you to a banquet."

An Shigeng changed his modesty in front of him and suddenly laughed wildly and said:

"My lords! This is the end of the matter, so don't be hypocritical. Your sudden banquet has to make people suspicious. The reason why I came to the banquet is just to catch you all.

Let you see the strength of this puppet soldier, give it to me!This Zuiyue Tower is the burial place of your lords."

　thank!
