Chapter 68 Dare to catch my father?
The carriage was pounding so hard that the thief who had just treated the wound dyed the gauze on his butt red.
The thief's face was like gold paper, and beads of sweat were rolling down, but he maintained the most painful kneeling position for him, and he did not dare to move.
Officer Ni was not in the carriage.
On the contrary, the General Manager Chai, who was hiding in Anhua Temple, sat cross-legged and looked at the thief with a expressionless face.
"What are you doing for?" General Manager Chai asked coldly: "I have been searching for so long, but I haven't found anything, and I have even caught someone to catch a living?"
"Often no one guards their backyard..." The thief regretted that he couldn't understand why he was so unlucky. "I didn't expect them to be so alert. When a few dozen people blew the whistle, they rushed out together, and there were powerful crossbows..."
In fact, Zhao Shizhen's forty-step crossbow is far from the standard of a powerful crossbow. But in order to reduce his punishment, the thief can only blow them into the brute force.
"Have you been tortured?" Mr. Chai looked at his half-dead look and snorted coldly: "What have they asked?"
"I just asked us what our purpose was, but my subordinates swear to Mr. Yang, I didn't say anything!" The thief hurriedly patted his chest and said, "When they saw that they couldn't ask anything from me, they treated my subordinates as ordinary thieves and sent them to the county government at dawn."
"Hmph..." General Manager Chai repeatedly questioned again. Seeing that the thief was talking over and over again, he said coldly: "I can't let you go immediately. If the Zhao family asks about the case again, Shuntian Mansion will not be able to explain it."
"Yes..." The thief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the supervisor said he could leave immediately, he would have to worry about whether he would be killed or silenced.

Manager Chai got off the carriage and entered another carriage following behind.
Promoter Ni was also on the top. General Manager Chai briefly told the information about what he learned to Promoter Ni, and then said lightly: "This person should hurry up and kill him."
"Yes, this kind of thing, the fewer people know about it, the safer it is." The promoter nodded and said helplessly: "Actually, I would rather not know anything."
"It's time to say this, what's the use of saying these words?" General Manager Chai frowned unhappily: "Orthodox Cao didn't explain it to you?"
"Okay, I'm just complaining..." The Prosecutor looked depressed when he heard this. "Did you say you want to let go? Besides, did I let go?"
After not finding anything for so long, everyone is under great pressure and anxious.
But the serious consequences of not finding something forced the two to stabilize their emotions and reconsider what to do next.
"Why don't you go out and find our Shao Yin family?" The advisor said with a heart.
"I have investigated these days. Your Wu Shaoyin's nephew came to Beijing with the Zhao family." But General Chai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "So they were together at that time."
"What do you mean?" Officer Ni looked at him with a slight understanding.
"I don't want to work harder." Then I heard Mr. Chai say, "Please take action. Take one or two of their people. As long as the things are in the hands of their two gangs, they will definitely be forced to hand them over."
"This..." Mr. Ni thought for a moment and knew that it was really hard to steal it, otherwise it would only increase the risk of exposure.
He nodded and said, "It's done, I'll go back and report to Mingfu."
"Yes." Manager Chai looked at the snowflakes falling outside and said worriedly: "If you don't make this happen, what should you do next year's transaction?"
"I understand." Mr. Ni nodded and said, "I will get someone as soon as possible."
After a pause, he smiled with some gratitude and said, "Fortunately, Zhao Jin has already gone south to Guizhou, otherwise with him, it would be difficult for us to get people."
"Yes." Mr. Chai nodded. He thought about it and thought that this method was very impressive!

At noon the next day, Zhao Shouzheng was invited to attend the cultural meeting at Yansheng Gong's house next to Xiyuan.
Yanshenggong's mansion is in Qufu, but Yanshenggong will visit Beijing every year as usual, so he will live in the mansion given by the emperor after the twelfth lunar month.
As a descendant of Confucius, Yan Shenggong could not just kowtow and sacrifice nothing, so he took the initiative to think that he had the responsibility to educate Confucian scholars all over the world. During the period when he entered Beijing, he would regularly invite famous Confucian scholars and young talented son Junsheng to the mansion to hold literary meetings to encourage future generations.
Although he mainly wanted to show his presence, scholars were still proud of receiving invitations from Yan Shenggong.
A few days ago, the people from Yansheng Gong’s Mansion sent an invitation, but only Zhao Shouzheng was invited. Sanyang was not invited, and no one invited Zhao Hao, a child.
This fully demonstrates that Yan Shenggong's invitation only depends on fame, not on strength...
Since entering Beijing, Zhao Shouzheng has received gifts of more than a hundred people and spent more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Now that his reputation for "Rain in Time" has spread, he is naturally more famous than his son and disciple in the capital.
So he received an invitation, but no one else was there.
Zhao Hao and Sanyang both said that he should go and thought it was a good opportunity to show off.
So Zhao Shouzheng, who had always been kind, dressed neatly and sat in a sedan chair and left Chunsong Hutong.
Who knew that as soon as I left the alley, my sedan chair was stopped.
"Is it Mr. Zhao, a juren from Yingtian Mansion, on the sedan chair?" A official with a bird's hair asked with a smile on his face.
"It's my master." Fang Wen flashed and said, "What's the point of doing?"
"Sorry, Shuntian Mansion invites Mr. Zhao to go back and ask a few questions." The official took out the card ticket with a red seal.
"My master was invited by Yan Sheng Gong to attend the civil service at the public house." Fang Wen then pulled the banner and made a tiger skin, wanting the official to retreat and said, "If you have time another day, go to the government office to listen to the training."
"That won't work." The official waved his hand and asked his subordinates to surround the sedan chair and said, "I have a life on the top of the mountain. I must be sure of Mr. Zhao today."
"What the hell is it?" Zhao Shouzheng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the official in displeasure.
"It is theft of the son of Yingtian Mansion. As the reporter, Mr. Zhao should cooperate with Shuntian Mansion to investigate and deal with it." The official laughed and reached out and said, "Please."
"Well..." Zhao Shouzheng winked at Fang Wen and sat back into the sedan chair.
Under the urging of the official, the sedan chairmen slowly lifted up the sedan chair and followed the Dongdan Archway toward Shuntian Mansion.
~~
In the West Courtyard of Zhao Mansion, Zhao Hao has been having nightmares these two nights, and is now lying on the kang to take a rest.
Three apprentices and Zhao Shizhen were doing geometry problems outside, while Zhao Shixi continued to practice boxing with the men...
Just when everyone thought that this day was going to pass by as safely as usual, Fang Wen ran in.
"Do you see who has entered?" Wang Wuyang asked in the main room, looking at the tilted door curtain.
"I didn't see clearly." Wang Dingjue said.
"That's Xiao Fang..." Hua Shuyang said.
"Well, there is no one except him." Zhao Shizhen agreed, so the four of them continued to focus on the competition to see who could solve this proposition first.
After a moment, a sensational sound came from inside, and then the master shouted irritably: "Okay, bullying is coming to the door, do you think there is no one in this young master?"
The four of them hurriedly threw down their pens and ran in. They saw that the master had a slight face and changed into clothes for going out under Fang Wen's service.
"Master, what's wrong?" the eldest disciple asked hurriedly.
"Your master was captured." Zhao Hao put on his boots, stepped on the ground with his feet, and said with a dark face: "I'm going to get the person back now!"
"Let's go with Master!"
"I'll call my brother again!"
"Go, go!" Zhao Hao pointed his head heavily and gritted his teeth and said, "Spread the news for me, the more people I find, the better!"
Even if he gets angry, he doesn't dare to be arrogant at all.
That's Shuntian Mansion. He had no idea whether he could catch the person out...
Since everyone has a ghost in their hearts, let’s make the big deal. The bigger the mess, the safer it is!
