Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 020 Give the fish to the cat

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, rare guest, rare guest."

When the Peng family opened the door, Peng Wanli didn't seem to see the murderous two hundred Zaoli at all, and went forward in great surprise: "Ah! Feng Jianxiao is also here, why did you two come here?" Ah, this hot day, hurry up, please get off your horse and sit down in the middle of the village."

The Peng family's business is both black and white, and the care of the yamen is indispensable. Therefore, judges, officials, inspections, and head arrests are all in the Peng family from time to time. Therefore, Peng Wanli, Zhao Tuiguan, and Feng Jianxiao are very familiar with each other. Normally, the two adults would talk and laugh when they saw him, but now they put on a business-like and cold face, so gloomy that it was scary, Peng Wanli couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

Fortunately, his tentative words still had an effect. Zhao Ximo snorted coldly, pulled up his robe and dismounted, and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way ahead and talk inside."

Hearing this, Peng Wanli immediately put his heart back into his stomach. It seems that the fatal event did not happen. Otherwise, Mr. Zhao Tuiguan would have ordered people to seize the village, so how could he go to death? Gossip with Lao Shizi he said.

With peace in his heart, Peng Wanli couldn't help secretly annoyed: "Every year, I treat you like kings of the Ming Dynasty. There is no shortage of three animals and six fruits, and you are very attentive during the New Year and holidays. Whenever something happens, you turn your face faster than turning the book, you son of a bitch!" The goddamn thing!"

Peng Wanli was full of slander, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful on his face. While secretly gesturing to signal the family members in the mansion to withdraw their guard, he personally led the two adults into the hall, and patrolled the fast hands into the manor, waiting for orders under the shade of willows , Zhao Tuiguan and Feng Jianxiao held their heads high, pressed their swords straight in, and sat proudly in the hall, as if they were the masters here.

Peng Wanli asked someone to offer fragrant tea, and asked cautiously: "My lord is on business today, why do you come here?"

Zhao Tui's face sank like water, and he sneered and said: "Peng Wanli, your family's business is not small, car dealers, boat dealers, mules and horse dealers, dental dealers, inns, martial arts... Shandong, Hebei, Henan Jianghuai, the banner of Peng character is very resounding."

Peng Wanli laughed and said: "It's all adults taking care of it. My Peng family is still diligent in doing things, so the business is booming."

"Prosperous? Then I will give you another fire!" Zhao Tuiguan said "Bang!" and slapped the table, and the teacups and trays jumped up: "Peng Wanli, your disaster has happened."

Peng Wanli was taken aback, took two steps back, and lost his voice: "Master Tuiguan, where do you start with this?"

"Where do you start?" Zhao Tuiguan jumped up and put his finger on his nose: "Mr. Yang Xu, a Qingzhou gentry, was assassinated in broad daylight, did you know?"

"This, Xiaomin knows a thing or two, but this matter has nothing to do with Xiaomin..."

Zhao Tuiguan sneered and said: "The news is really well-informed! Your Peng family is in the business of car and ship shops, and there are both black and white. Do you dare to say that everything is in order? But your Peng family has always been pretty well-behaved, repairing bridges. Make up roads, donate studies to help the disabled, never fall behind, restrain his subordinates and rarely cause trouble at home, the masters of the government and the judge take care of you, I take good care of you, and do not pursue small mistakes occasionally... "

Peng Wanli hurriedly said: "Yes, the adults care about the Peng family, and my Peng family has always been deeply impressed."

Zhao Tuiguan's face sank, and he shouted: "Give me a foot, and I will respect you a foot. It is reasonable to reciprocate courtesy. Now that Mr. Yang is assassinated, and the gentry in Qingzhou are raging, everyone is frightened. Do I still want to be polite to you? "

Peng Wanli called Qu and said, "Master Tuiguan, Mr. Yang's assassination has nothing to do with my Peng family. This matter..."

"Why has nothing to do with you!" Zhao Tuiguan's voice was louder than his, and he roared: "Qingzhou's urban foxes, social mice, and rogues are the only ones who follow the lead. Isn't it true? The car and boat shop feet, you Peng The whole family is occupied. Among the heroes from the north and the south, is there one who can escape your Peng family's eyeliner? Even if Mr. Yang's assassination was not done by your Peng family, it must have been your connivance and help. You Not the mastermind, but also an accomplice!"

"My lord, to catch a traitor, to catch a pair, to catch a thief, to catch a dirty one, without proof..."

"What evidence do you want?" Officer Zhao said in a stern tone, "I'm here to find evidence! I suspect that you harbor murderers and participate in the murder of the city's gentry, so I want to search your estate. Also, you, the Peng family, got out of the car dealership." , boat shop, mule and horse shop, inn, martial arts hall, good and bad are mixed together, there are serious suspicions, all operations must be suspended from now on, and this officer will investigate one by one until the murderer is found!"

The assassination of the Peng family and Yang Wenxuan may have nothing to do with it, but if we investigate the members of the Peng family, guests, and friends one by one, there must be many people who have a criminal record and who are unclear, so Zhao Tuiguan He has no fear, and is not afraid of making things big.

"What?" Peng Wanli's face turned gray when he heard that: "My lord, Mr. Yang Xu's name, Xiaomin has only heard of it. Mr. Yang is from a scholarly family, and my Peng family is a reckless family. It's completely irrelevant. There has never been any contact. When it comes to business, our two families have no conflicts. Where did the grievances come from? How could my Peng family be suspected? This is not a person sitting at home. Come up!"

Zhao Tuiguan said aggressively: "Are you accusing me of abusing the laws of the country and harming innocent people?"

Peng Wanli swallowed his anger and said: "Xiaomin dare not, it's just..."

Feng Jianxiao chuckled, and smoothed things over from the side: "Brother Peng, to tell you the truth, this case is really no small matter, even the magistrates, fellow magistrates, and several adults from the prefecture feel a bit overwhelmed. Strict investigation of this case, several adults are supportive. In fact, Mr. Tuiguan did not suspect that your Peng family is an accomplice of the murderer, but your Peng family runs a variety of businesses, and you can guarantee that there are no criminals hiding in it. ?”

Peng Wanli said bitterly: "My lord, this is difficult for others. My Peng family's business is very extensive. There are not tens of thousands of customers and servants. How can I know everything..."

"That's it. I also understand that you Peng Erye is a man with a wide range of friends. Even if the murderer is really found out under your Peng family's property, it may not be yours. That being said, I don't want to be the one who suffers." Chi Yu, who will prove your innocence? The Futai Lord has a deadline to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice. It is difficult for the Tui Guan, if you want to make the Tui Guan proud, you have to let the Tui Guan live through it?"

Peng Wanli heard that there was something in his words, and quickly said: "It's easy to say, if the Lord Tuiguan has any orders, Xiaomin will do his best, but I don't know what the Lord wants our Peng family to do?"

Zhao Tuiguan didn't speak, just snorted, sat back on the chair again, raised Erlang's legs, and drank tea slowly.

Feng Jianxiao smiled slightly, grabbed Peng Wanli's arm, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "This is the first thing, your Peng family runs a variety of businesses in the car and boat shop, and controls the city foxes and rats in Qingzhou." If you want to get rid of the suspects, you should mobilize the power at your disposal to help the government track down suspicious persons."

Peng Wanli breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "This is easy, Xiaomin is willing to do the same work for adults."

Feng Jianxiao said: "Another thing is more important. It's not a big problem if the murderer can't catch it for a while. The important thing is that Yang Xu can't be assassinated again. If he is still killed by the assassin after he reports to the police, what do you adults do? The elders of Hecheng confessed? But then Yang Xu can’t hide at home all day. If he wants to go out, since ancient times, there is no reason for the government to send police patrols to protect the people all day long, let alone whether he has the qualifications. This one action alone shows the government's incompetence."

Peng Wanli said: "It's also easy, my Peng family runs a martial arts gym, so we can send some people to protect him?"

Feng Jianxiao said with a chuckle: "Why doesn't Second Master Peng understand? Then Mr. Yang is not only a student of the government school, but also a local gentry. He has many friends. There are occasions for greetings, banquets and banquets. If he is around Wouldn't it be a storm all over the city to be followed by seven or eight big men with guns and sticks? Every time he comes out like this, he slaps all the adults in the face, and the adults will be disgraced. Or, when it comes to kung fu, your Peng family's Five Tiger Broken Door Knife is not handed down to disciples with foreign surnames. Those disciples in the martial arts hall learn some tricks and embroidered legs. They can hide it from ordinary people, but they can't hide it from me, Feng. What are they doing for?"

Peng Wanli said confusedly: "Then... what your lord means..."

Feng Jianxiao said: "Your Peng family can distinguish between black and white, and subdue those urban foxes, social mice, and rogues. Although the Peng family is rich and powerful, it cannot be separated from your Peng family's overbearing five tigers. Door knife. As far as I know, the murderer is very skilled. Ordinary guards cannot guarantee the safety of Mr. Yang. At the same time, in order to reduce the impact, the number of guards should not be too many. So... If you are from the Peng family Willing to send a son who has a family tradition to protect Yang Xu, I believe that the masters of the government, the judges, and the judges will accept your Peng family's love, do you think, will anyone make things difficult for your Peng family?"

Peng Wanli asked Ai Ai genuinely: "The inspector is saying... that my Peng family...sends my nephew to be Yang Xu's entourage to protect him? This...how can it be!"

"Impossible?" Zhao pushed the teacup, stood up suddenly, raised his arms and shouted: "Come on, ransack my house, first ransack Peng's village, and then seal all the properties of Peng's family!"

Feng Jianxiao said with a smile: "Second Master Peng, this is to share the worries of the magistrate, and to share the worries of the Tuiguan. Do you think about it?"

"What? Want someone from my Peng family to protect that kid surnamed Yang?"

Peng Taigong asked in surprise after hearing his grandson's report, and Peng Wanli couldn't help but say: "Yes, my grandson also found it unbelievable. It seems that Zhao Tuiguan was really driven by the assassin, otherwise he would not have thought of such a thing." The method, grandpa, do you think we agree or not?"

Taigong Peng's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, a pair of iron gallbladders rattled around in his hands for a while, then he sighed and said, "That's all, then send some people there."

Peng Wanli smiled wryly and said: "But, Zhao Tuiguan said that the assassin is extremely skilled. In order to ensure Yang Xu's safety, my Peng family must send direct disciples. Now my elder brother and our Peng family's nephews are all in the Huaixi area. Activities, those who stay in the house, who else can get the true biography of my Peng family? The old ones, the young ones, I can't say, I have to go for my grandson."

Taigong Peng frowned and said: "How can it be done? You are in charge of such a huge property. You walked away. Do you want my old man to take care of the housework? Besides, how many people in Qingzhou city don't know you? If you become a slave and servant to protect that kid surnamed Yang, won't it disgrace my Peng family if you spread the word?"

Peng Wanli said: "But... I'm afraid that the people sent there will be useless, and the life of that bastard Yang Xu will be missed. Those officials are really in a hurry. It's hard to say that they won't drag us into the water. Grandson has seen Zhao Tui before. The official's skill, this person's kung fu is very good, if you want to send some ordinary disciples to meet the occasion, you can't hide it from his eyes."

Taigong Peng frowned again, the grandfather and grandson were relatively speechless.After a while, Peng Wanli's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Grandfather, look... how about letting Ziqi go?"

Taigong Peng said in astonishment: "Ziqi? Nonsense, she is a big girl, but Yang Wenxu is a famous womanizer. Isn't this giving the fish to the cat to watch?"

Peng Wanli smiled and said, "Fish? Then he has to be able to eat it. What can that playboy Yang Xu do to our Ziqi?"

Taigong Peng shook his head and said: "That's not right, let a girl show up in public to accompany that notorious dude, won't she lose her reputation? How will she marry in the future?"

Peng Wanli said: "Grandpa, let Ziqi Yichai and Mou pretend to be her elder brother, it's fine. The twin brothers and sisters are very similar in appearance, there is no problem. Besides, this child has all the martial arts that you have learned from your grandpa, and the girl is very careful." Rufa, let her protect that young master and brother will definitely succeed."

Taigong Peng thought about it again, nodded slightly and said: "Well, if that's the case..., go, call me that girl Ziqi!"

Manager Xiao was very quick in his work. Xia Xun had just drawn up three key investigation targets, and Manager Xiao had already brought back four instructors from the Peng Family Martial Arts Hall.The four martial artists were tall, powerful, and imposing. As soon as they were brought to the mansion, Guanshi Xiao immediately invited the young master to come and have a look.

Xia Xun heard the news and hurriedly took Xiaodi to the living room. As soon as Xia Xun entered the living room, Xia Xun suddenly felt like the room was full of muscles.These four strong men are all the super muscular men of Harmony Governor Arnold. The weather is hot, and the four of them are dressed in strong military uniforms with their arms slanted, with their heads tied to their foreheads. Air then fills the entire space.

Guanshi Xiao introduced with a smile on his face: "Four masters, this is my young master. Young master, these four are the masters I invited from the Peng family martial arts school. Take a look, if you think it is suitable, then stay."

Seeing the employer coming, the four instructors quickly stood up, clasped their fists together, and said in a loud voice: "I have seen Mr. Yang."

Xiaodi stood aside, biting the jerky donkey meat, looking at them with big black eyes, making a comparison in his heart, and always felt that his young master's muscle mass was more chewy... Well, it is interesting head.

Xia Xun smiled kindly and said, "You are welcome, four masters. Sit, sit, please sit down." As he spoke, he sat down on the main seat, and said with a smile: "My housekeeper must have told you the conditions. You don’t have to worry about hiring, you don’t have to worry about the salary, it must be very generous. However, my master invites you here, which is not comparable to ordinary housekeepers, so I have the liberty to ask, what skills do the four masters have.”

At this time, Zhao Tuiguan returned to the yamen with a large team of Ma Yaowu. After Feng Jianxiao changed into casual clothes, he left the yamen alone with a young man in white robes with red lips, white teeth, and handsome eyebrows. Ben Yang Mansion...
