Chapter 127: Taking Someone
The sound of horse hooves made the guard who came to Beijing for the first time very curious, "Sir, who were those people just now? It seems that if there is a mistake, they will attack us. Beijing Are all the people here so fierce?"
He was puzzled, "Isn't it said that the area within 300 miles of the capital is particularly safe? "
On their border, there are always dangers. He could understand the person who drew the sword, but he was about to enter the capital.
“It’s a safe place, but you also have to look at what time it is.”
Walking at night.
The old man who was asked said: "We were walking fast just now. Did any of you see the emblem on the carriage?"
"It seems... it's a Jia!"
Jia?
The old man couldn't help but look at the young man who was walking beside him and said nothing. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"It's indeed Jia!"
The young man spoke, her voice sounded like a girl's, "But there should be a lot of people named Jia in Beijing, right?"
"Not many. "
The old man sighed in his heart, "If there is no accident, those guards who are wary of us should be the guards of Ning and Rong's house. No matter how powerful the other servants of the Jia family are, it is impossible. With such momentum.”
I haven’t returned to Beijing for many years. I thought that the Jia family was already in ruins, but I didn’t expect...
"Let's send someone to check the Jia family later!"
"..."
The young man remained silent, and the guards who followed them kept their mouths shut.
There are some things that everyone can joke about and do whatever they want, but there are some things... that must not be touched.
When the moonlight escorted them all the way to the capital, it also escorted Jia She away.
At this time, except for some special places in the capital, the hustle and bustle had already subsided, the city gates were closed, and people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were patrolling street by street.
When passing by Ning and Rong Streets, they passed by without looking sideways, but soon a young man ran past the street. He knocked on the corner door and walked in, "Master Jiao!"
Jiao Da has been waiting for a long time, "Have you found it?"
"Found it."
The young man looked excited and took the paper that had been laid out on the table. The pen, while drawing, said: "Isn't there an alley at the back door of the God of Wealth Gambling House? There is a second house diagonally across the door on the left, and the same on the right. There is also an tunnel, which is also the second house."
Sure enough, it is a cunning rabbit with three caves.
"In addition, the restaurant on the right has a secret passage that leads directly to two alleys to Taibai Tavern, which specializes in selling wine on Baisui Street."
Fortunately, I have an extra eye, otherwise, They will all be fooled by others.
Jiao Da looked at the line he drew along the way and was very satisfied, "Well done!"
Whether it was the King of Jin or Lu Kun, the God of Western Wealth, they were all malicious towards their Jia family. Full.
"Whether you touch them or not, Xiao Wu, you have made a great contribution." Jiao Da encouraged the young man, "I will report it to you personally tomorrow."
"...Thank you, Master Jiao!"
< br>Xiao Wu was very happy, "Master Jiao, do we still have to keep an eye on it?"
"No need for the time being."
Jiao Da solemnly said: "Always walk by the river. , there is no one who doesn’t have wet feet, and I am not a fool. It would be bad if I noticed you.”
"Yes!"
Xiao Wu was willing to come back, but he hesitated again, "Master Jiao, I saw a person today who said he looked like a child, but he was not a child. It felt like The dwarf killer Xie Zhenghu who assassinated our uncle.”
What?
Jiao Da’s eyes sharpened, and his whole aura changed, “Where did you find him?”
“It was this Taibai Tavern.”
"Did Xie Zhenghu see you?"
"No, he was held by a big man in his arms. It looked like father and son were buying wine together. However, when the tavern owner saw them , his face stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him, saying that your cousin’s aunt has delicious food, I will take you to the back to find your cousin.”
Xiao Wu described the situation at that time, "But before that, I clearly saw the proprietress taking his silly son out of the store not long ago."
"What happened next?"
"Didn't you say that if you saw someone suspected of being Xie Zhenghu? People must not be able to alert the enemy? ”
Xiao Wu said: "Then I stayed away to observe, but until I left Baisui Street and came back, I didn't see the big man and the 'child' coming out."
"It's right to be cautious!"
I originally thought I would report it tomorrow, but now...
Jiao Da couldn't help but turn around in the small door, "Well, you go to the kitchen to get some food first, and I'll give it to the uncle. Say something. "
Xie Zhenghu showed up and had some connections with King Jin.
This is not quite right!
Isn’t Xie Zhenghu somewhat related to the remnants of the previous dynasty?
Jiao Da knows that a gangster like him can be bought with money, but anyone can buy him with money. The status of King Jin is different, so he can't!
If King Jin had something to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty for the chair above, then...
The old man left in a hurry.
Not long after, Jia Zhen followed him to Shen Ning's yard.
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen's expression was very solemn, "We can't just let Xie Zhenghu go, right?"
But the Taibai Tavern, King Jin's place You will definitely suspect that their family has been watching for a long time.
I'm afraid I want to get rid of their Jia family even more.
There is also the Western God of Wealth Lu Kun. During the Ming Dynasty, merchants in Shanxi cooperated with Jin people outside the customs. If the Jia family took this one of the three caves of his God of Wealth Gambling House, they would definitely not let them go.
But just letting Xie Zhenghu go...
Jia Zhen couldn't swallow this breath again.
"...Of course not!"
She almost died twice that day.
If the good boy dies again, only Youshi and Brother Rong will be left in the Ningguo Mansion.
This family is equivalent to giving it to Jia Zheng and the Wang family of Xifu for free.
It’s hard to say whether Brother Rong will be able to grow up by then.
Shen Ning twirled the agarwood rosary she snatched from Jia Jing, "Zhen'er, what do you think is the most popular thing in the gambling house?"
What is the most popular thing?
Of course it's silver.
Jia Zhen’s heart was pounding.
He suddenly felt that his mother not only wanted to get Xie Zhenghu, but also the King of Jin and Lu Kun, the God of Western Wealth.
"The most money."
Jia Zhen stared at his mother nervously, and Jiao Da also stared at Shen Ning nervously.
"The King of Jin has always disliked the Jia family. With money, he can do more things."
Shen Ning knew why the elder did not dare to touch the enemy who killed him, "This is When things go up and down, when you have to move, that’s when you are fighting for your own safety.”
This?
Jia Zhen and Jiao Da looked at each other, "Mom, tell us what we should do!"
Shen Ning put away the beads in her hand, "Jiao Da, what are you doing now? Just send someone to watch over Taibai Tavern. As long as Xie Zhenghu is there, we will do whatever it takes to capture him."
At this point, she turned to Jia Zhen again, "Zhen'er, you are responsible for contacting the Wucheng Army and Horse Department and saying that you have found someone suspected of Xie Zhenghu. Even if Xiao Wu is wrong, it doesn't matter. As long as you find the tunnel, follow the clues and follow the clues." We found the God of Wealth Gambling House, but we can’t take down King Jin. You can’t take down the God of Wealth in the West?”
When the time comes, will King Jin dare to step forward?
The emperor is waiting to catch him for his fault.
As soon as he started, the story of a good boy being assassinated in the street could be blamed on him.
At that time, whether he has cooperated with the remnants of the previous dynasty or not, it is unclear.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later, you..."
Shen Ning was about to say that you should do it now, but suddenly thought of something, "Xie Zhenghu is secondary at this time. In this way, you all wait first. Wait, wait until dawn, when the capital is bustling with people.”
In this way, it will be impossible for King Jin to help Lu Kun. "Remember, you never knew the relationship between King Jin and the God of Wealth Gambling House, and you didn't know the relationship between Taibai Tavern and the God of Wealth Gambling House. You just heard that someone suspected of Xie Zhenghu entered the tavern, so you were afraid of manpower. If it’s not enough, please call on the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to get them together.”
“Mother, please invite them from Shuntian Mansion as well.”
Old man Dong is a powerful man.
He can find out the relationship between the God of Wealth Casino and King Jin.
When the time comes, no matter how angry and resentful King Jin is, he will not dare to do anything to their family for a while. All his energy will be used to deal with Lord Yin Dong of Shuntian Mansion.
"...Yes!"
Shen Ning nodded, "But you must also be on guard against the people from the Wucheng Bingma Division and Shuntian Prefecture who have King Jin and God of Lu Cai."
Their families all have some relationship with both parties, not to mention Prince Jin.
There is also Lu Caishen. Since he dares to go to Beijing to open a gambling hall and a bank, he will take care of all aspects.
"My son knows."
Jia Zhen nodded and said fiercely: "My son will calculate the time and call the two families to go out together."
"... Go!”
Shen Ning waved her hand and watched them leave before wrapping the agarwood rosary around her wrist three times.
Whether things will work out or not depends on tomorrow morning.
"Madam, won't you take a break?"
After making sure that the uncle and Jiao Da were gone, Qingzhu came in to serve.
As a personal maid, she knew whether she should avoid him or not with just one look from her master.
She avoided it just now.
"It's still early before dawn."
"Hmm~"
Shen Ning stood up, "I probably won't be able to sleep for a while, why don't you Bring me the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and let me read it!”
“Let me read it to you!”
Qingzhu took the book and said, "Go into the tent and lie down."
It would be her fault if my wife's eyes got damaged this late at night.
"...Since you want to read to me, then light up the lamp."
Shen Ning was originally worried about her sleep, so she thought about reading it herself.
But Qingzhu is so considerate...
Shen Ning stood up with a smile, "Read two chapters, and then you can just go to sleep."
At that time, she thought about the story, and she couldn't help but fall asleep.
“Yes!”
Qingzhu really picked up the Three Kingdoms, “In the fifth chapter, I issued a corrective edict to the towns to respond to Cao Gong, broke through the pass, and the three heroes fought against Lu Bu..."
Shen Ning lay down and listened to her talk. As she listened, she didn't know when it had passed.
But this night, she obviously didn't sleep well.
In the dream, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and outside the dream, Jia Zhen also knocked on the door of Shuntian Mansion overnight.
Dong Xiaoquan was also a little embarrassed that he had never gotten the dwarf killer Xie Zhenghu.
After all, he is the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. Facing Jia Zhen, the master of suffering, he subconsciously feels guilty.
When I heard that the Jia family saw someone who looked like Xie Zhenghu, they naturally sent a team of government officials with the most powerful martial arts skills.
No one dared to make much noise. Anyway, it was the guards who followed the Jia family to lead the way.
Until Baisui Street, they didn’t know which house Xie Zhenghu was hiding in.
At this time, the sky was just turning white, and some diligent people were about to get up.
"Come on!"
Jiao Da shouted in a low voice and led the guards to take action first, showing the way to the people of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion.
At this time, Taibai Tavern was not open yet, but the neighbors on both sides were startled when they saw the yamen servant.
But before they could scream, they heard the sound of fighting coming from the Taibai Tavern.
The clanking sounds of weapons clashing, heavy objects hitting the ground, and the clanking of porcelain can be heard all the time.
"Xie Zhenghu, where can you escape!"
The enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Jiao Da and a group of guards did not use reinforcements at all, but they were all warned by Jia Zhen , giving Xie Zhenghu time and space to escape from the tunnel. Within a moment, Xie Zhenghu, unable to think of anything, jumped down from the tunnel and ran for his life.
"Chase!"
Jiao Da waved his hand, and most of the guards jumped down, "My lords!" He said to the leaders who also wanted to chase Xie Zhenghu: "Please stay for a while and be alert around, I won't I believe this tunnel can lead to the outside of the city.”
This?
The soldiers and horsemen of the five cities and the government officials looked at each other and without any hesitation, they all found the highest point. After a while, they all climbed to the roof.
The same is true for Jiao Da. He seemed to not know where Xie Zhenghu could finally escape, and he was also looking around.
When the people around them saw their appearance, they were all very honest, fearing that their family would suffer disaster.
“Over there!”
When the yamen heard the sound of fighting again and rushed to the place where the sound was heard, Jiao Da also followed everyone and stepped on the roofs of each house and ran over there.
However, it was obvious that Xie Zhenghu really had something to do with the God of Wealth Gambling House, so he jumped out from here with all his strength, made a few feints, and rushed to the tunnel on the other side.
It was already dark at this time, and it was difficult to hide people anywhere.
On the other hand, there is a mixture of fish and dragons at Caifang, the God of Wealth, and you may be able to escape with your life.
“Chase!”
The Jia family’s guards were still chasing at the front.
At the same time, the other two patrol teams invited by Jia Zhen were also on their way.
From a distance, riding on his horse, he saw everyone heading towards the God of Wealth Casino one by one, and knew that the matter was done.
"Hurry up!"
He shouted: "Xie Zhenghu has escaped to the God of Wealth Casino."
Jiao Dadu showed his sword, which means that it is really Xie Zhenghu.
Jia Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Regardless of the arms and legs, I will give you another hundred taels of silver reward."
He doesn't want to live.
Just die.
Although Xie Zhenghu may be able to dig out some other secrets while he is still alive, he will not seek political power if he is not in his position.
Jia Zhen does not want to attract all the people behind Xie Zhenghu to the Jia family.
So the dead are the best.
He also told Jiao Da about this.
At this time, at the other end of the long street, a group of people who came to Beijing overnight saw the government officials cooperating with people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to surround the God of Wealth Gambling House.
There are people standing even on the roof of the God of Wealth Casino.
Oh, this must be a big case!
People around are also very curious.
After a night of gambling in the gambling house, the gamblers who had long been red-eyed saw the chaos in the gambling house and couldn't help but fish in the troubled waters.
The brave ones even got a few banknotes.
“Don’t move, don’t move.”
The shopkeeper of the casino was frightened, “Masters, this is...”
“Get out of the way. ”
Jia Zhen, who came over, kicked him away.
