Having said that, Zhao Hao actually didn't have much hope for catching Xu Bangning.

Because there are so many routes from Huating to Nanjing - you can go north to Taicang, from Kunshan to Suzhou, or even cross provinces to Huting directly from Huating to Jiaxing to Huzhou, completely bypass Suzhou Prefecture, and then head north to Nanjing.

You can also take a boat directly from Songjiang and go back along the Yangtze River.

It can be said that except for the line from Wusong River to Nanjing via Suzhou, Zhao Hao had no ability to intercept the other routes.

I think Xu Bangning is not so stupid. He doesn’t go to heaven, but he doesn’t have a way to go, and hell has no way to go, right?

So it is almost impossible to stop this guy halfway.

But a big investigation cannot be saved. Otherwise, the people would think that the county is afraid of the powerful and powerful, which seriously damages the glorious image of his father in the hearts of the people of Kunshan.

But this does not mean that Mr. Zhao had no choice but to do anything to Xu Bangning, so he listened to his deep voice to Secretary Ma and said:

"Draft two letters, one to Mr. Xu of Huating, explaining to him all the happenings today, and proposing solemn protests, strongly condemning Xu Ying's instigation of Xu Bangning to commit crimes."

Xiong Dianshi was so shocked that he couldn't help but persuade, "Young Master, isn't this suitable? Although Mr. Xu retired, he was also Yuanfu of the two dynasties. We have no evidence of Xu Ying's participation. It's better to just guess it's not easy to put a hat on randomly, right?"

"Would I be so polite if I had evidence?" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "I'd have asked Master Xu to take his third brother over here and be a companion for Mr. Xu!"

"Uh..." Xiong Dianshi then remembered that the second master of the Xu family had already been on Xishan Island for two months.

Over time, people have forgotten his existence.

What's even more magical is that the Xu family actually recognized it like this and did not ask Kunshan County to release people.

Thinking of this, it seems that Mr. Zhao is just a little rude to the Xu family, and it is no big deal.

He had just accepted this magical reality, but he heard the more powerful order from Mr. Zhao:

"Another letter was written to the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, scolding him..."

Xiong Dianshi's chin fell to the ground.

Even Secretary Ma said helplessly: "Young Master, I won't know what to say to curse people."

Even if you know, you can't say it, let alone write it, otherwise it will destroy the elegant image of this little secret in the young master's heart.

"Then I will write it myself, just write the previous letter." Zhao Hao thought to himself, how could he pretend to be someone else's hand if it was so exciting to humiliate a Duke?

Then he said to Xiong Dianshi: "You go back and find Mr. Wu to open a card ticket, send two officials to Jinling to capture Xu Bangning, and send the letter to Duke Wei."

"Uh..." Xiong Dianshi picked up his chin and put it on again, and said with a wry smile: "Who dares to go on this job? I deserve to be beaten to death like this."

"Then Uncle Xiong, let's go there in person." Zhao Hao patted his shoulder and said seriously: "No matter how you are a court official, you shouldn't be beaten with you."

"Young Master..." Xiong Dianshi wiped his sweat and said, "What's the point of offending you in the past? Isn't it okay to compensate you?"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing loudly, "Uncle Xiong, you are just wrong. I'm giving you this opportunity to show off when you are honest and do your job!"

As he said that, he painted a seductive prospect and said, "You think, the big stone lion in front of Xufu Street has been squatting for a full two hundred years. When was the last time an official came to pick up people?"

"I've never been there." Xiong Dianshi said in certainty: "Emperor Chengzu just sent someone to imprison Xu Huizu in the mansion, and he did not send Jinyiwei to arrest him."

"Right." Zhao Hao thought to himself that I thought Emperor Chengzu had arrested him.

However, this does not affect Mr. Zhao's argument.

"You will become the first official to arrest people at the Duke of Wei's mansion since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This alone must be written into the county annals and the prefecture annals. In the future, you will be successful and may be written into the national history."

"It's quite tempting..." Xiong Dian Shi Youran was fascinated, and then rationality took the lead: "But if someone kicked out, not only would he not be famous, but he would also become a laughing stock."

"No, what if I believe me once?" Zhao Hao said seriously: "The Duke of Wei must be obedient to his wife."

"Young Master, take it seriously?" Xiong Dianshi asked in doubt.

"really."

"really?"

"Sure enough." Zhao Hao nodded and stretched out his hand. "I'm lying to you and I'm this..."

"After, then I will believe in the young master." Xiong Dianshi was finally moved. "Go to Jinling!"

The main reason is that I don’t dare to offend the terrible Yanei, so I can’t go.

~~

The next day, Huating County, in Afang Garden.

Xu Bangning opened his mouth wide and heard the escaped sergeant report that the entire army sent out was wiped out.

"Then, the embankment is too hard, and it has not been chiseled for two hours." The sergeant was soaked, and he knelt on the precious Persian carpet with trembling voice:

"After a long time, I was naturally discovered by the patrol patrolists."

"Why is this happening?" Xu Ying asked Xu Bangning, who was stunned. "Didn't you say that the embankment is only half a month old and it will be opened as soon as it is smashed?"

"Who knows what magic they used?!" Xu Bangning came back to his senses in annoyance and glared at Xu Ying and said, "It's all the fucking blame you. What bad idea did you come up with? Are you ready now?"

"When will I give you an idea?" Xu Ying naturally pushed and said, "I'm talking nonsense with you after drinking. Who would have thought you could really do it?"

"Hmph!" Xu Bangning had nothing to say, as if he had eaten a handful of flies. He felt that this guy was very disgusting, and he actually dared to learn from this young master to shirk responsibility.

But now it is not the time to settle the score with him. Xu Bangning paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about countermeasures with a frown.

Seeing him wandering back and forth like a headless fly, Xu Ying had to remind Xu Bangning.

"Will those arrested sergeants give you?"

"Then you're not afraid. Their family is in my hands. Who dares to sell me? Are you afraid that the whole family will suffer?" Xu Bangning snorted.

"Then there is nothing to worry about." Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Live here with peace of mind first. When the typhoon stops and returns to Jinling, you should do whatever you should do, just pretend that this has not happened."

"That's right, even if that kid can guess it's me, it's useless. I don't believe that he can come to Huating to arrest people without any evidence." Xu Bangning also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if he has evidence, he can't come to Huating to arrest people." Xu Ying sneered: "This is the territory of my Xu family, and it's useless for me to come."

Xu Bangning felt that Xu Ying was a little pleasing to the eye again.

Just as he was about to speak, the butler of Xu's mansion came in to report.

"Third Master, the old man told you to go to Tuisiyuan immediately."

"Look, my father can't live without me for a moment." Xu Ying showed off his worries, letting Xu Bangning pass by the city in a big sedan chair and come to Tuisi Garden in the east of the city.

He followed the butler into Wanhe Songfengtang, and saw his father with a dark face, leaning on crutches with both hands, and shouting angrily:

"Beast, why don't you kneel down!"

Hey, why does this scene look so familiar? Did you have hallucinations?
