A Boy Is Born Chapter 35 Revisiting the Zheng Family

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Another mission is about to start, including the previous mission of Xuantang Library Pavilion, this is Li Tang's third mission this time, the previous night he went to Zheng's house to visit secretly, except for being stopped by the incense master who doesn't know who it is  Except for myself, the rest went well.

    Apart from intercepting two secret letters, I also learned that the Chu family¡¯s business losses were all caused by the commander of Jinyang City, Pei Sisheng. The purpose of doing this was nothing more than greed for ink.  Lying in the warehouse at home, this is unavoidably suspicious. Ordinary people would like to hide in the most secret place of their own home if they are greedy for ink, so as not to let others know, but the Pei family did the opposite, directly hiding in other people's homes.  The inspectors of the imperial court will not find them no matter how hard they are investigated. If the Zheng family is found, they will be punished for the serious crime of hiding a soldier in the Zheng family.

    Chu Tianwen listened to his own opinion, and did not throw stones at the Pei family, but held the handle tightly in his hands. Chu Tianwen hated Pei Yuanying's increasingly strong bureaucratic attitude.  The officials of all sizes in Cangzhou in the Northwest are colluding. Although they live in Lingxi Town, their actual power is already comparable to that of the "Emperor of the Northwest". All officials are afraid of the 80,000 elite soldiers under his father Pei Sisheng. The sky is high and the emperor is far away.  I don't even know if my report booklet will be handed over to His Majesty's Longshu case.

    However, Pei Yuanying did not do anything against Li Tang to feel sorry for him. On the night she was assassinated, Pei Yuanying also received a message to bring Pei Liulai to protect her safety.  Partner, at that time, although I never gave way to Pei Yuanying in the competition, fortunately, Pei Yuanying didn't hold grudges and treated herself as before.

    Li Tang already knew that after the Xinglin Book Club ended that day, Pei Yuanying used the personal fame of Mr. Qingfeng Pei Xingzhi to "invite" all the students and wealthy businessmen to his house as guests. They said they were guests, but in fact they recruited staff for him.  There is nothing to blame for this. Doesn't the official find more think tanks for self-defense?  Even the magistrate of Qipin County in Lingxi Town has three masters to advise him, and they don't use it on weekdays. Whenever there is a case at the gate of the yamen, or when the imperial court sends an imperial envoy to check his political achievements, the three masters will be there every day.  The continuous rotation of the night is firstly for the safety of the county lord I serve, and secondly, naturally, it is also for myself to have a long-term meal ticket to carry with me.

    The border blockade of Jinyang City has been lifted, and the Chu family's business is slowly getting back on track. However, the spies sent by Motang are still running around outside. The Zheng family got a government pass when the northwest was blocked.  The whole Chu family was puzzled by this incident. Even if a civilian bodyguard bureau had business dealings with the government, the Zheng family would not have vehicles and horses to go out of the border in such an emergency. Isn't the scimitar of the prairie people making trouble?  Just kidding, he won't stop looting you just because you are a document issued by which court. If there is something that makes them uncomfortable, the scimitar of the grassland may have already reached the neck.

    When the border ban seemed to be closed, the Zheng Family Escort Bureau frequently entered and exited the Yanxing Pass, and went to the grassland for trade. However, the silver was not given by the grassland, but the treasurer of the Zheng family went to the Jinyang government to collect it.  Not to make people wonder, but also curious about what the Zheng family's warehouse brought in, and how could Pei Sisheng do business with the bodyguard agency far away in the back garden of the border in Lingxi Town?

    The military, military, food and grass escorts are all in charge of the imperial water transport officials. When the border war started this time, the Zheng family took the lead in doing the water transport work. During the one-month stalemate between the Northwest Army and the grassland tribes, there was no major war.  Everyone in the Northwest knew about it, but the grain, grass and military equipment escorted by the Zheng family continued to be delivered, and the delivery did not stop until the day when the prairie people's surrender letter was delivered to Emperor Qianyou.  It's too big, won't the court become suspicious?

    Li Tang didn't know, and even the whole Chu family wanted to know the reason. After all, the Chu family was in the dark dart business.  It couldn't be better, the Chu family, who are so cautious in the dark dart business every day, knew that something would happen sooner or later. The thoughtful Chu Tianhan made a bold decision based on all the information he got so far: to investigate the goods in the Zheng family's warehouse.  The situation, the handle that will be held continues to expand.

    So a second mission landed on Li Tang's head. After the last investigation, he already knew that the Zheng family was not a peaceful place, and several groups of people were involved in it.  The master is a group, the housekeeper Zheng who is standing next to Zheng Yaozu, the young master of the Zheng family, is a group, and the one who sent the secret letter to Jinyang Pei Sisheng in the end is still a group. Obviously, in this matter, Pei Sisheng and Pei Yuanying  The father and son are on different fronts, and both father and son have different people to deliver the secret information.

    However, no one knows how many people are still mixed in, soIt is extremely risky to send Li Tang to investigate the warehouse of the Zheng family this time. Firstly, the Zheng family has a lot of people, and if someone finds out, they will be in trouble. Second, Zheng Yaozu and Li Tang knew each other, and this dude  The young master looked down on Li Tang, a person of white background. If Zheng Yaozu found out that Li Tang had secretly visited the Zheng family, maybe the second generation ancestor would mobilize all the people in the family to kill Li Tang.

    On a bright moonlit night, Li Tang stood in the courtyard looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze. He did not expect that this secret mission would proceed in such a bright light.  With his own skills and experience, under the moonlight, he carried the Chixiao sword on his back and jumped to the top of the Chu family's library to check the whereabouts of the night guards around him. This time he did not choose to lower his body like last time  Listen carefully, instead, he just stood upright on it, like a statue.

    The bright moonlight was just above his head looking at him brightly, forming a long shadow, but that didn't prevent Li Tang from looking around calmly, and leaping up after he found out what the night guards were doing.  Jump to the distant rooftop.

    After a short time of tossing and turning, Li Tang came to the place where the incense lord blocked him last time. This place is the closest to Zheng's warehouse, and the tall roof is also convenient for lurking.  I saw that he carefully released his Qi machine to check the surrounding movements, but he did not enter the Zheng family compound, but went to the nearby places where people could hide, to make sure that the incense master last time was not there.  Come on, I also made sure that no one was following me secretly. Li Tang looked at the Zheng Family Courtyard. Unlike the last time, the Zheng Family Courtyard was brightly lit. This time, the Zheng Family Courtyard was much dimmer.  It swayed, and occasionally the servants who watched the night circled back and forth.

    Everything was safe, Li Tang jumped onto the roof of Zheng's warehouse, lifted a few tiles and looked inside.

    The warehouse was pitch-black, except for a place in the corner where a light was on. There were two vague figures staying there. Li Tang stretched out his ears and listened carefully. Two familiar voices came from the warehouse.

    "Yaozu, thanks to your large warehouse, it would be great if my house had such a large warehouse, so I could store so many things."

    "What did Xiaowei Pei say? It's a great blessing to be able to use me, Zheng Yaozu, let alone just use the warehouse that my family has not used for a long time?"

    After hearing the two people in the corner of the warehouse talking, Li Tang's eyes widened suddenly, and he listened more carefully to their conversation. Those two were the young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Yaozu, and the captain of the Pei family, Pei Yuanying.  What are you doing in this warehouse?  Is it not possible to inspect the warehouse during the day?  If you have to come to inspect at night, if someone finds out, wouldn't you be more suspicious?

    Li Tang was thinking about something when a tile under his feet suddenly loosened. There was a "clang" sound, which scared Li Tang to cover the tile quickly.  Pei Yuanying shouted: "Who!"

    The family guards who came from nowhere heard Pei Yuanying's shouts and suddenly all rushed over, and surrounded the warehouse of Zheng's house after a while. Pei Yuanying and Zheng Yaozu walked out hand in hand, and Zheng Yaozu said: "You just now  Checking around the warehouse, have you ever seen anyone appear or something happened?"

    "Reporting to the young master, I didn't find it."

    "Hehe, Captain Pei, maybe it's just a mouse. The warehouse is originally a place to store food, and it's easier to recruit mice. If there is a mouse that is cornered by the cat, it will climb the house and go to the room. The cat is behind.  It is also unknown if there is a sound from stepping on the tiles."

    "Meow~" Li Tang meowed immediately after hearing the following words.

    "Hehe, I was suspicious. It would be best if it was just a cat. Yaozu, you have to keep what I told you today a secret. Don't let other people know if there is nothing else.  I want to rest now. Does your Zheng family have any more comfortable beds? I will stay at your house tonight. On the way back, if you meet Liu Tong, the envoy of Wei Town who is patrolling the night, you will have to talk nonsense to him.  I'm a little tired." Pei Yuanying patted Zheng Yaozu's shoulder lightly and yawned.

    "Lieutenant Pei, please come with me, and I will take you to the ear room to rest."

    Li Tang, who watched Zheng Yaozu lead Pei Yuanying away from the roof, couldn't help but let out a deep breath. Luckily, Zheng Yaozu deceived Pei Yuanying with the reason that the cat chased the mouse, so he managed to get through by meowing like a donkey.  The two spies said some unknown things tonight, thinking they were perfect and no one else knew, but Li Tang, who was hiding on the roof, heard it clearly.

    The bright moon was still the same, but when it shone on Li Tang's head, his legs were a little weak. Li Tang was really frightened by Pei Yuanying's yell just now. In the middle of the night, he thought that no one would notice his movements, but in the end, because of the tiles under his feet,  The sound from the loosening alarmed the two of them. It's a pity that if the tiles didn't make any noise, they might have heard some more anecdotes, but it was too late, and they had heard enough tonight.

    A fast shadow bounced up suddenly, and the moonlight was like water, shining on that shadow farther and farther, and gradually disappeared on the roof of Lingxi Town.However, the noise from the loose tiles under their feet alarmed the two of them. It is a pity that if the tiles did not sound, they might have heard some more secrets, but it was too late. What they heard tonight  Enough already.

    A fast shadow bounced up suddenly, and the moonlight was like water, shining on that shadow farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared on the roof of Lingxi Town.
