Zhang Yi looked at the seven people lying in front of him, then listened to the screams of the blinded man who rushed in. How could he eat? Moreover, he had already been exposed. He didn't know what was waiting for him.
He didn't let go of the knife in his hand. He glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and shook his head. He knew that he couldn't kill either of them with a single dagger. Even injuring them would be difficult, let alone killing them.
"Why didn't you kill me?" Zhang Yi tried his best to maintain a calm appearance and asked.
"It's not good to be a Master. If you have too much blood on your hands, it's easy to have nightmares at night. I'm very kind and don't usually eat meat. If you don't believe me, I'll make some barbecue for you. Part of it is meat, part of it is vegetables. I've even roasted the garlic.
Zhang Xiaobao really did put a skewer of garlic on the rack and started roasting it. He had a gentle smile on his face.
He then said to Wang Gang and the others, "Eat, eat more. Nourish yourself. You've been busy these past few days, and your small bodies are exhausted. As the boss, I can't bear to see you like this."
The three consciously blocked out Zhang Xiaobao's words.
Wang Gang coughed and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "Little Young Master, you didn't go to the capital with your wife?"
"No, the capital isn't fun. It's not as interesting as opening a small shop. If you really went to the capital, how would you find each other? You've been working as a waiter for a long time. Do you have any good ideas for the development of the braised food shop? Tell me, and if I accept, I'll reward you. At the very least, your salary will be increased by ten copper coins a day. "
"And you'll be able to rest for two more hours." Wang Juan added.
"Boss, I'm asking a serious question. I'm not joking." Wang Gang really wanted to clear up the confusion.
"Serious? Your rank isn't high enough. You can only eat the meat skewers and listen to me. You're a waiter after all. You have to do your part and eat. As a spy, you have to be able to take risks and let go. You have to be able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you. "
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he picked up the softened garlic and opened his mouth to eat.
Wang Juan reached out to stop him. "You're not allowed to eat garlic. You smell like garlic when you sleep at night."
"The roasted garlic doesn't have a strong smell. Besides, I still need to brush my teeth. Don't be afraid." Zhang Xiaobao leaned forward as if he really wanted to eat the garlic.
"No means no." Wang Juan blocked Zhang Xiaobao's head with her other hand.
Zhang Yi's hand that was holding the dagger was already trembling. He felt that this was an opportunity. While the two were fooling around, he could suddenly make a move. Perhaps he could kill or seriously injure one of them.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he gave up. He didn't think that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were fools. They wouldn't leave such a big opening for him. Once he made a move, he would definitely be the one to die.
But he couldn't figure out why the other party didn't kill him. Seven people were already dead, and one was still howling. Based on Wang Juan's expression when she stabbed the other party's eyes with the skewer, she shouldn't care about his life or death, right?
"Why didn't you kill me? Are you toying with me? Even if I die, I won't let you do as you wish. "Zhang Yi put the tip of the dagger to his throat and gritted his teeth.
Hearing his words, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stopped fooling around and handed a skewer of garlic to Zhang Nan.
After sitting down, Zhang Xiaobao picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He smiled and said to Zhang Yi, "Zhang Xiaobao, we're not toying with you. It's easy to kill you, but it's just a skewer. With your skills, you definitely can't escape. We're keeping you alive because you're still useful to us. Eat first, don't worry, and listen to me slowly."
"Xiao Bao is right. At most, you'll die. You're not even afraid of death, so why are you pretending? You're being looked down upon. Eat. Treat it as your last dinner before you die. Even if you die, you'll die a full death. "
Wang Juan personally poured a full bowl of wine for Zhang Yi and pointed at the skewer of meat in front of Zhang Yi.
"Well, let's see what you can do to me. First, don't expect me to help you. I was born …"
"Hurry up and eat. It has nothing to do with me. Let's talk while we eat. There's nothing that can't be discussed in this world. Perhaps you've changed your mind for your family. You three, why are you standing there like idiots? Eat, you still have to work later."
Zhang Xiaobao was still leisurely, as if no one had died nearby, and there was no smell of blood now.
Wang Gang sniffed and moved his feet to avoid the blood that was about to flow to his shoes. He admired the young master and the young lady from the bottom of his heart. They really killed people without blinking. They could still be so calm beside a corpse that was not cold yet.
Zhang Yi endured the nausea. He didn't want people to look down on him. He opened his mouth and bit a mouthful of meat. The taste of chili and cumin rushed into his nose, making him feel much better. He drank half a bowl of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you want to kill me, just frown. My surname is not Hong."
"Brag, brag as hard as you can. If you say to chop off his head, I'll believe you. If you say to use a knife to kill him, I won't believe you. If you say to use a knife to kill him, I won't believe you. Unless you use a general anesthetic in the medical hall. Since you want to hurry up, then fine.
Let me ask you, in the Wang Mansion, what kind of secret signal do you use to contact your people? Don't tell me that there are no people in the Wang Mansion. Even if you don't say, I can still find out. I tortured you, Sect Master Ning. I believe that they have been caught by now. Leaving you alive is another source of information. "
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he picked up a stick and came to the side of a person who had fallen to the ground. He squatted down and fiercely stabbed the stick into the person's eyes. He didn't stop until he reached the place where his hand was holding the stick. "You're not dead yet. You're quite tenacious. I'll give you a quick death."
After finishing this, Zhang Xiaobao casually rubbed his hands on his body. He picked up a meat skewer and continued to eat. His eyes looked at Zhang Yi, waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't understand how many people Zhang Xiaobao had killed that he could treat people as if they were chickens. He hesitated slightly in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"
"If you don't want to tell me, then I'll wait for that surnamed Ning to ask where your family is. I'll send people to catch them and kill them in front of you. Let's see if they will frown." Zhang Xiaobao's tone was still flat.
"Despicable." Zhang Yi glared at him.
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaobao nodded to Zhang Yi, "In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people. Can you guess who they are? If you guess correctly, I will let your family go. "
"Enemies and allies." Zhang Yi didn't need to think and answered immediately.
"Wrong, it's men and women. Unfortunately, you didn't answer correctly. Why don't you answer the first question? If you satisfy me, I will let your family go. Even if they are held hostage, I will rescue them. Believe in my strength."
Zhang Xiaobao shook his finger and said jokingly.
Zhang Yi was confused. He wondered why Zhang Xiaobao's words were so incoherent. He didn't hear a single word that was serious, but he had to listen carefully.
Wang Juan timely said, "Don't answer in a hurry. Think clearly first. Eat, eat, and have the strength to think more. In fact, even if you and that surnamed Ning didn't say anything, we still have a way to find the spies in the mansion. It's just a waste of time. If we really can't get anything out of them, we can kill all the people who entered the mansion within three years. Believe us, we will do what we say."
Zhang Yi's psychological defense was a little bit loosened. He bowed his head and drank wine. He began to weigh the pros and cons.
Wang Juan smiled with satisfaction and turned her head. She saw that Wang Gang and the other two had stopped eating. She stared at them with her eyes wide open and said, "Eat, look at all of you. You don't listen to the boss, do you still want to have a good life? Follow us later. We still have things to do. Maybe you won't be able to eat for a few days. If you don't eat, I won't take you to play. "
"Eat, eat, I'll eat. It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious barbecue since I was a child." Wang Gang endured the smell of blood and forced himself to chew the meat. He felt disgusted and drank wine to suppress it.
Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu also ate with a bitter face. They thought that it was not very fun to play with the young lady. Others could endure the disgust, so could they.
The six people ate and drank while surrounded by the seven corpses. Zhang Yi also tried to stuff food into his stomach.
When they were almost done eating, Zhang Yi finally thought things through. He stopped eating and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He said, "Okay, I'll tell you. You promised me to protect my family. You have to do it. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
*****
"Qiao 'er, it's late. Why don't you sleep?" In Wang Ju's mansion, Wang Ju's voice came from outside the courtyard of Jang Wong Clan.
Her daughter used to be fast asleep at this time. Today, she heard from the servants that the light in the room was still on. She didn't know what she was busy with. She was worried about her daughter's health, so she came to see.
Jang Wong Clan was indeed not asleep. She was still waiting for news. This afternoon, when Wang Juan sent her back, she told her about the matter. She also told Wang Juan a lot, including Zhang Yu's identity.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she found her family's intelligence personnel and arranged to surround Asou and the people surnamed Ning on West Lake.
She couldn't sleep before the news came back. She was worried that someone would do something desperate and hurt her son and daughter-in-law. She was also afraid that someone would escape, so she took things and did needlework under the light.
She knew that the children in her belly were twins when she took their pulse and auscultated them. It was just that she didn't know if they were boys or girls. But no matter what, she had to make the same clothes to look good.
She had to make clothes that didn't distinguish between boys and girls before the age of two.
Thinking that there would be more and more children in the family in the future, Jang Wong Clan couldn't help but smile. When the children grew up, it would be a big family.
When she was doing needlework, she heard her father's voice. She paused for a moment and said to the servant girl beside her, "Go and ask father to come in. I have something to tell him."
"Don't do needlework under the light. You don't have to worry about stabbing yourself, but you also have to be careful not to hurt the children. Although electric lights are brighter than oil lamps and candles, you still have to be careful."
As soon as Wang Ju came in, he saw his daughter holding a needle in her hand. He quickly walked over and 'snatched' the needle away from her. He carefully placed it in a conspicuous place to avoid stabbing people.
"Father is here. Prepare the tea." Jang Wong Clan didn't touch the needle that was snatched away. She moved her body and ordered the servant girl.
Wang Ju frowned, "How can I be in the mood to drink tea? What do you want to do instead of sleeping? I've been fishing for nearly two days. When I came back, I was already sleepy. I heard that the light in your room was still on, so I deliberately came to see. "
Jang Wong Clan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, father. I'm not a big deal. I just helped Xiao Bao catch people. The power behind the trouble has been found out. There are many parties working together. They don't want to see the Tang Empire doing well, so they want to make things difficult for us.
Father, you came at the right time. Cuckoo said that there are people from the other side in your mansion, but we can't find out who it is. I think you'll get the news from His Majesty tomorrow morning. "
"You found out? There are people in my mansion? " Wang Ju was shocked, but he immediately regained his composure. He lowered his voice and asked, "Was it Xiao Bao who found out?"
"Of course it was my son. My son Xiao Bao thought that the intelligence personnel in our family were not doing a good job, so he personally took action. Like fishing, he put the bait diagonally opposite. In the end, the other side took the bait. In the future, the intelligence system in our family needs to be strengthened. It's not good to always force Xiao Bao to take action."
Jang Wong Clan took the tea from the servant girl and gently fanned it with the tea lid as she spoke.
Wang Ju stretched his neck to take a look. He was relieved when he saw that his daughter was drinking flower tea. He also picked up his green tea and took a sip. He savored the aftertaste and said, "How did Xiao Bao trick the other side?"
"It's not a trick. Xiao Bao doesn't trick people." Jang Wong Clan obviously didn't like this explanation.
"Yes, Xiao Bao is fishing. Those who are willing to take the bait. Then … can we catch a big fish tonight? If we catch the one in Hangzhou, what about the one in Jiangnan West? "
Wang Ju changed his explanation. He had already guessed that his grandson was in the shop, but he didn't know how the other side got in when the shop was open.
Jang Wong Clan reminded him, "Waiter."
"Oh!" Wang Ju suddenly understood. He wasn't stupid. "Someone wants to hurt you, but they couldn't find the opportunity. Xiao Bao provided them with the opportunity. It's been a long time since the first time he bought the burrito. I think all the clues that should be investigated have been found.
I think only the hidden people in my family haven't been found yet. It's easy. I can be sure that there are no problems with people who have been in the mansion for more than five years. As for the rest, we can immediately … No, we can't do it. There may be other clues on people who have been in the mansion for more than five years. "
Wang Ju was very good at this. As he spoke, he thought of the key point. He put down the teacup and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will arrange things for the servants in the mansion to do. No one is allowed to leave the mansion to prevent the news from leaking. You all have to hurry up."
"Yes, there may be news in a while. I will go to bed when I receive the news." Jang Wong Clan looked at the window and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside. As the sound approached, the door was pushed open. A maid came in and said to Jang Wong Clan, "Madam, it has been arranged. A total of 262 people have been caught and are being interrogated. Little Master is fine, but he didn't come back. He left."
"Why did he go out again? Why is he so worrisome? I'm going to bed. I'm going to bed now. "Jang Wong Clan complained. She stood up and sent her father out.
*****
At the edge of West Lake, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan led Wang Gang to hide under a big tree.
Zhang Yi, or Hong Yi, had been taken away after he finished his task. Tomorrow, someone would meet up with the people in the mansion according to the method he had told them.
As for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they still had important things to do. They had to catch the people tonight. Tomorrow, they would leave Hangzhou immediately and go to Jiangnan West Road.
"How are your swimming skills? Do you all know how to swim? "Zhang Xiaobao hid under the tree and asked Wang Gang and the other two.
"Yes, I can. I'm not as good as you, but I'm not bad either. When we were training, we had a special class." Wang Gang replied.
Zhang Nan raised his hand. He didn't care if others could see his movement at night. He said, "I can too."
"I can row a boat." Zhang Yu said.
"You don't need to row a boat. Can you shoot a gun?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.
Zhang Yu knew that he was being asked. He shook his head and said, "No, I've touched it twice. I can't shoot accurately. I'm not like Wang Gang and the others. My people don't allow me to carry guns. I just need to familiarize myself with it."
"What else can you do? Besides being a waiter. "Zhang Xiaobao asked again.
"I can play the flute." Zhang Yu said with embarrassment.
"In the Pear Garden, there was a flute song called" Dream Awakening "sent by Cuckoo two years ago. Can you play it?"
"No, it's too difficult. I can play the Plum Blossom Three."
"Then you can continue to be a waiter."
"Thank you, Boss."
"Can you ride a horse?"
"I can."
"Good, after we meet Sect Master Ning, we will immediately ride a horse and go to Jiangnan West Road. We have to be quick. We may not have much time to stop on the road. So be mentally prepared."
Zhang Xiaobao told the three people and began to wait.
It didn't take too long for a boat to come from the depths of West Lake. It was brightly lit. It came close to Zhang Xiaobao and others. It stuck close to the shore and forcibly stopped, regardless of whether it would run aground.
Many people jumped into the water and waded in front of Zhang Xiaobao and others. The first person came and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Young Master, they're here."
"Well, put out the lanterns on Aso's boat, and then block everything around West Lake. No matter who appears, keep a close eye on them. The whole Hangzhou is strictly on guard.
His Majesty will cooperate with you and make a show of enjoying Hangzhou. You can use this as an excuse to check everyone who wants to enter or leave Hangzhou several times. Don't let the fish escape the net and affect our work. "
Zhang Xiaobao ordered. At the same time, he looked around and listened to the sound.
"Yes, we will also temporarily stop our business with the people to give you some time." The person respectfully complied.
"Take our Sect Master Ning to our nearby courtyard. I want to see him." After Zhang Xiaobao said a few words, he took the four people and left first.
The entire West Lake was suddenly under martial law. All the boats that made money at night were also boarded. Countless people jumped into the water to see if anyone could escape from the water.
Zhang Xiaobao had already seen the other party's means. It was not ordinary. Maybe they even arranged people to watch their own boat. Once the boat released a signal, the people watching it would spread the news. It was very cautious.
Zhang Xiaobao, who did not notice that someone was watching him, turned around and entered the courtyard of his own people. The person surnamed Ning was also tied up and appeared in front of Zhang Xiaobao and the other four people.
"My Sect Master Ning, Ning Tian, Ning Guangliao, do you know me?" Zhang Xiaobao pulled down the cloth that was tied to the person surnamed Ning's mouth and asked.
Ning Tian, the surviving member of the Ning family, carefully looked at Zhang Xiaobao, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you before."
"That's right, I am now in disguise. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xiao Bao. This is my future wife. Others call her Cuckoo. Buddy, you know Little Yi, right?"
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
Ning Tian was stunned at first, then he suddenly spat at Zhang Xiaobao, "Bah, Zhang Xiaobao, you destroyed my family. I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood. I didn't expect that you would see through my plan. Good, you have the ability. I underestimated you. Now that I have fallen into your hands, please do as you please. Don't expect me to beg for mercy, I know that even if I do, you won't let me go."
Zhang Xiaobao, of course, did not get spat on. He knew that the other party would do this. After all, he had tied him up. He dodged most of the spit and did not care if a little bit landed on his body.
He reached out and pinched both sides of Ning Tian's mouth. Then, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Not bad, your skin is tender enough. I think it would be good to steam you. Or perhaps I can braise you and buy it as braised food. I have never braised a living person before. Wait, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao left the house. Wang Juan was not far away, holding a pen and paper and drawing something.
After a while, Zhang Xiaobao came back with a box in his hand. Ning Tian did not know what was inside.
Zhang Xiaobao came in front of Ning Tian and opened the box, revealing the thing inside. It was a shaver used to shave hair and beard.
"I am going to shave your face until there is not a single hair left. Haha, then I will tie you to a big tree outside. Tomorrow morning, I will get someone to draw on your face. Don't move later, I don't want to hurt you."
Zhang Xiaobao took out the shaver and said to Ning Tian while gesturing with his hands.
Ning Tian tilted his head back, as if he was afraid that Zhang Xiaobao's knife would touch his hair and beard. He glared at Zhang Xiaobao and shouted, "Zhang Xiaobao, I, Ning Tian, will not let you go even if I become a ghost. Kill me. What's the point of humiliating me? Kill me, kill me, you bastard."
"Go ahead and curse. Curse with all your might. The more vicious you curse, the more tricks I have to deal with you. You called my name, then yours. You just wanted to send a message to the person in the dark. Good, good job.
If you did not call my name, they might have hidden and not made a move. But since you called my name, do you know what kind of name I have? Would they dare to continue hiding after hearing my name? They would probably leave immediately to spread the news that I did not go to Beijing.
They did not make a move. My people are really hard to find. But now, it's fine. Thank you, thank you. Stop shouting. If you shout again, they will go into hiding again. Be gentle, be gentle. You're going to break the skin in your mouth. "
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile. He even reached out and pinched Ning Tian's mouth, stuffing the cloth back in.
Ning Tian's eyes were red. He kept twisting his body and shaking his head, trying to compete with Zhang Xiaobao. However, he was held down by Wang Gang and the other two.
Knowing that he had no other choice, tears of humiliation appeared in Ning Tian's eyes, and his nose made a whimpering sound.
After a while, Zhang Xiaobao pulled out the cloth and said to Ning Tian with a smile, "Are you regretting it now? You actually dared to ask someone to blow up my brother and sister. I will definitely not let you have it easy, hmph. "
"Haha, hahahaha, Zhang, Xiao, Bao, blew up, I blew up … What can you do? Ah, what can you do? I don't plan on living in your hands. Your brother and sister, those evil creatures, won't be able to get away. Tomorrow, you will hear that they have been caught and skinned alive.
Do you think it will be fine if I die? Our people don't care about me. Without me, they will continue to deal with you. Just wait. Just wait. "
Ning Tian said viciously, gnashing his teeth.
"You really aren't afraid of death? If you can turn over a new leaf, maybe I can … "
"Bastard, Zhang Xiaobao, you are a bastard. You want to get information from me? Dream on. I won't tell you anything even if I die. Just give up. Come, give me a quick death." Ning Tian didn't wait for Zhang Xiaobao to finish speaking. He looked at Xiao Bao with an abnormal expression.
Zhang Xiaobao pinched his face again and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. The night is long, and we can't sleep. Why don't we talk? Reminisce about the past, talk about the present, and think about the future. You aren't scared, are you? The more scared you are, the more you pretend to be indifferent. You are not strong enough to be my opponent. "
"Scared of you? Haha, I'm scared of you? Come, tell me. I'll talk to you, "Ning Tian sneered and said disdainfully.
"That's more like it. It's good to talk. We can talk until tomorrow morning. Perhaps, I'll give you a quick death. However, you're not allowed to scold me or reprimand me. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if I get angry." Zhang Xiaobao waved the knife in his hand again.
"Your parents are dead, and you're an adulterer. You're the one I'm scolding. What can you do if I scold you? If I scold you, I'll scold you. "Ning Tian shook his head and made faces like a child trying to piss off Lu Zhou.
Zhang Xiaobao did not care. He said, "Do you remember when we went to Lu Zhou and interacted with you? Back then, you were really stupid. You were more than a little stupid … "
Just like that, Zhang Xiaobao and Ning Tian continued to talk. From time to time, he would provoke Ning Tian into scolding him. Then, after Ning Tian vented his anger, they would engage in a verbal battle.
The two of them bickered for nearly two hours. Wang Juan was drawing one after another. When Zhang Xiaobao and Ning Tian exchanged a few more words, Wang Juan was finally done. She said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Done."
"Done? You're faster. Alright, hold him down. I'm going to shave him now. " This time, Zhang Xiaobao did not waste his breath on Ning Tian. After the three of them held Ning Tian down, he began to shave Ning Tian's beard and hair. Ning Tian shook his head vigorously, but he could not avoid Lu Zhou.
In the end, Ning Tian ran out of energy and gave up. However, his mouth was not idle as he continued to scold Lu Zhou.
Zhang Xiaobao carefully put away the shaved beard and hair. Then, he smiled at Ning Tian and said, "You don't know why I came here to talk to you for so long, right? Now, listen to my voice again. Zhang Xiaobao, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. Haha, hahahaha, run. Don't worry about me. Run and send the news back. Hurry, haha, do you hear me? My Sect Master Ning. "
Ning Tian was still very puzzled. However, after hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, his face finally changed. His eyes were full of horror as he said in a trembling voice, "You … you actually, actually copied my voice. My voice, my voice is exactly the same. No, impossible. What are you going to do?"
"Ah? You, you don't, don't you know? I, I learned your voice. I … I can, pretend to be you. I can use your beard, hair, and put them on my face. Cuckoo, Cuckoo, he's drawing, drawing different angles of your face. Good, good, good disguise for me. Got, got it? "
Zhang Xiaobao said his words in a trembling voice.
"You came to see me, to talk to me, just for this? You're so ruthless, ah ~ ~ ~! "Ning Tian finally understood. Zhang Xiaobao wanted to pretend to be him and then deceive others.
When he thought of Zhang Xiaobao's ability to learn voices and the consequences of a successful disguise, he couldn't help but shudder.
Zhang Xiaobao played with the knife and said with a smile, "What do you think? Do you think I'm so free to listen to you scolding me? I'm going to Jiangnan's West Dao to take over your men. After scolding for so long, you must be thirsty. Someone will feed you water later. Be good, my Sect Master Ning. "
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao waved to Wang Gang and the other two who were also standing there in a daze. "Withdraw. Continue to be my men."
"Go, go. I gave you wages because I expected you to work. Look at you now. You don't look like men at all. What a pity. Hurry up and leave. I'll fire anyone who doesn't listen. The shop doesn't keep idlers."
Wang Juan smiled at Ning Tian and began to scold Wang Gang and the other two as the boss.
Wang Gang looked at his companions, nodded, and followed out in a daze.
"Heavens, Little Lord and Little Lady are too amazing. I can't tell from their voices at all. "Zhang Yu said to Zhang Nan when they reached the door.
"It's, it's okay. If there's a chance in the future, I'll practice it. It might come in handy at a critical moment." Zhang Nan swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice.
*****
At night, Zhang Xiaobao and the other four rode on horses, two for each person. Carrying good things, they went along the shore of the Yangtze River towards Jiangnan's West Dao.
The road on the shore was now well built. Many dangerous places had plank roads for people and animals to walk on. Most of the roads were very flat and much faster than boats.
After they left, the people in Hangzhou started to get busy.
Li Longji was very angry because there were people scheming in Hangzhou. But what made him even angrier was that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to open a shop not far away and didn't call him. He didn't even have a chance to participate.
When it was almost over, they remembered to ask him to cooperate. How could it compare to the fun at the beginning? He didn't want to cooperate, but he couldn't resist Gao Lishi's persuasion and agreed.
"Lishi, do you think I lost?" Li Longji came out to play with Zhang Xiaobao and asked Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi looked confused. "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"When I agreed to let Xiao Bao and Cuckoo come over, I wanted them to accompany me and have a good time. But what happened? In the end, Zhen was left alone in Ju's mansion. Every day, Ju would only accompany Zhen to go fishing. The two of them said that they were going to the capital, but they also hid Zhen from Zhen and ran to this place to open a small shop to play.
They opened a shop before. Now that the business is big and they have more money, they want to experience the fun of the past. But I have never opened a shop. I haven't even sold anything.
These days, I can't sleep well and I can't eat well. I used to eat Xiao Bao's food and I'm used to it. But now, it's all gone. They are disrespectful and should be beheaded. "
Li Longji didn't care how many people were listening to him and complained loudly.
In addition to the guards, there were also local officials. Li Longji deliberately found them to cooperate with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He didn't punish them for their crimes yet. He would wait until the matter was completely over. The officials didn't even know what happened in their place last night.
When they heard the emperor say that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to open a shop, they were puzzled. When did they come? Where did they open a shop?
At this moment, when they heard the emperor say that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan should be beheaded, no one believed him, including Wang Ju. They all knew that although the emperor was complaining now, if anyone took it seriously and wanted to curry favor with the emperor by saying bad things about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the first person the emperor would behead would be that person.
Wang Ju was very worried. When she heard the emperor's words, she looked at the surrounding officials from time to time. What if the news of her grandson's return was accidentally leaked by the officials? Would there be trouble in the capital?
Now, the enemy's thoughts were almost clear. They were avoiding their grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Their plan was that no matter how powerful the two of them were, they didn't have the ability to split themselves. They arranged people everywhere. As long as the two of them were there, they wouldn't do anything. As long as the two of them weren't there, they would destroy and torment the two of them to death.
Only Gao Lishi knew why Her Majesty had said so. It was to cooperate. Last night, before Xiaobao left, he had already sent a message with specific arrangements. First, it was to let Her Majesty reveal the location of the two of them.
Therefore, Gao Lishi immediately said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, isn't it easy for you to open a shop first? Wait for Xiao Bao and Cuckoo to finish their work. They are now interrogating the bad guys. When the time comes, you will go somewhere else and open a shop specially for you to play.
As for food, Your Majesty, you eat a lot of rolls and steamed buns. They are all made by Xiao Bao. Otherwise, how can they be to your liking? Tonight, no matter how busy Xiao Bao is, let him cook a few dishes for you to eat with wine. Don't you think so? "
Li Longji's eyes swept around and slowly nodded. "Yes! Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are indeed busy. We will talk about opening a shop later. I didn't expect that Ning Tianxuan would establish herself as the sect leader. The Japanese called Aso is also involved. Unfortunately, they are too tight-lipped. Hurry up and interrogate them. Maybe there are still people from their side in Hangzhou. We have to be careful. "
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are extraordinary. They just caught them last night. I think they will get some useful information tonight. Don't worry." Gao Lishi guaranteed on behalf of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Okay, we will wait until tonight. Today … I will continue to fish. Don't follow me. I only need the people from the Fishing Association. Disperse. Go back to your own business."
Li Longji waved his hand and ordered.
The officials dispersed one after another, but what they didn't know was that each of them was being watched. As long as they made any unusual movements, they would definitely be arrested. As for whether they were really related to the enemy forces, that would have to wait until the investigation was over.
