Chapter 69: Pretending to be Crazy
In addition, I also found out the family's surname Qian.
All this is too familiar. Many years ago, there was a mother and daughter living on the streets of Xi'an Academy, and they also had a maid.
As the third son of the King of Qin, during his temporary residence in Baoding Prefecture, the King of Qin asked the King of Qin to copy a copy of the war reports from various places, but only the war reports were limited. Therefore, although Zhou Zheng knew that Xiao Ren was appointed as the deputy commander of the Northern Road Army to assist the Prince of Yanbei, he did not know the blood letter from the Prince of Yanbei, and naturally he did not know Chen Tong's true identity.
Chen Tong is with Xiao Ren, so now he is going to Yanbei with Xiao Ren.
Thinking of Chen Tong following him to Yanbei, Zhou Zheng became more certain about his speculation.
Zhou Zheng thought of Chen Tong and Mrs. Shen from the Qian family's mother and daughter, and he thought it was funny. Maybe he was too idle recently.
"Send a letter to Yueyang Feige and ask him to check Jiao Meng in the capital." Zhou Zheng said.
But Zhou Zheng didn't expect that the news from Yueyang would come so quickly.
In just one day, the pigeon flew back.
Jiao Meng is seriously ill a year ago and has not recovered yet.
"Is sick?" Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment. He called his aide and told Jiao Meng about his illness.
Several staff members almost spoke in unison: "There is eighteen or eighteen years of Jiao Meng. It is a big deal. Jiao Shengqi is sensitive. He is inconvenient to make a statement about his son's accident. He just said he was sick and he was not seen."
This is similar to Zhou Zheng's guess. How could a second-hand man who makes trouble all day long fall out of trouble and gets sick? It is more convincing to say that he is beaten to death than to get sick.
Zhou Zheng went to Xiuhe Hutong in person, and he wanted to meet the young man who might be Jiao Meng.
The boy is no longer seriously injured, only his leg injury has not healed, but he is still crazy.
The followers were worried that he would hurt Zhou Zheng, so they asked Zhou Zheng to look inside through the faint window.
Zhou Zheng was actually not afraid that the boy would hurt him, but he didn't want to make his subordinates embarrassed, so he didn't insist.
The boy obviously noticed someone was peeking at him and hid everywhere in panic.
Zhou Zheng pondered silently, and suddenly, he shouted loudly: "It's time to go, it's time to go!"
The boy who had originally hidden under the bed suddenly rushed out and turned to look out the window, but was hitting Zhou Zheng's gaze.
The boy who just now jumped out of the bed was not dragged on at all, and he was completely different from when he was hiding from Tibet.
Without Zhou Zheng's instructions, the two subordinates entered the room, pressed the boy on the chair, and asked, "Boy, it turns out that he is pretending to be crazy and pretending to be a monkey. Do you want to be a crazy person? Then the man will fulfill you!"
Zhou Zheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned around and went to the main hall.
An hour later, the subordinate came in and said, "That kid has all been tricked."
Zhou Zheng chuckled and shook the folding fan in his hand in a cold weather, saying, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"He is really Jiao Meng, the youngest son of Jiao Shengqi. A year ago, he met the Qian family in the capital and fell in love with him. Unfortunately, he looked down on him, so he chased him relentlessly. Later, when he went to Yanbei for medical treatment, he also went to Yanbei and believed in the True Immortal Sect in Yanbei. Yang Qin searched the True Immortal Sect in Yanbei City, and he fled to the inner palace with a few sects. He originally wanted to go home, but heard that the True Immortal Sect was also catching the True Immortal Sect in the capital, but he hid in Baoding. He met Miss Qian again in Baoding, so he sent poems to Miss Qian every day. A few days ago, he met a bad person, got stolen, snatched away the money he had on his body, and threw it to the old city wall in the north of the city, and was rescued by us. The reason why he pretended to be crazy was that he was worried that he was found out that he was from the True Immortal Sect."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng laughed loudly, and after laughing, it was a pity that Jiao Shengqi, a famous general, actually had such an ignorant son.
"When I was in Luoyang, I met Grand Prince Jiao Zhou Wei, who was calm and capable, and had the style of being a father, but I didn't expect that the Second Prince Jiao was such a mediocre person." Zhou Zheng said.
The subordinate asked, "San Gongzi, how should you deal with this Jiao Second Master?"
Zhou Zheng said: "I had thought about it before, if he was really Mr. Jiao, I would send him to Luoyang, but now I don't think so."
Since it involves the True Immortal Sect, then Jiao Meng can no longer be handed over to Jiao Shengqi.
The True Immortal Sect is related to the Luoyang mutiny not long ago, and Luoyang Guards even used artillery.
In addition, according to Xiao Ren's investigation, the coffin shop that was the contact point of the Qin Prince's Mansion in the capital was also destroyed by the True Immortal Sect. Now, Zhou Zheng is in Baoding, and the True Immortal Sect also appears in Baoding, so they cannot be let go.
"Investigate, dig three feet into Baoding Prefecture, and you will also find the remnants of the True Immortal Sect."
The subordinate wanted to speak but stopped. Zhou Zheng glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The subordinate said: "Actually, there are many people who believe in the True Immortal Sect. However, the court arrested people a while ago, and the people did not dare to go to the temple to gather in a righteous manner. They were at home in private and worshiped as much as they should. Besides, these are ordinary people. Even if they were caught by the government, they would be locked up for a few days at most, fined a few taels of silver and released. Their guards were not great. The government had been arresting them all, and they were all priests of the True Immortal Sect."
Zhou Zheng asked, "It is said that those priests are dressed as Taoist priests?"
"It used to be, but it's not necessarily true now. After all, Feiyuwei also knows that they are dressed up by Taoist priests. It's not easy for monks to accumulate hair. It's just a chore to change their hair style." The subordinate said.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Father asked me to stay here, so I will do something within my ability and first take the True Immortal Sect in Baoding Prefecture."
Since there is a Jiao Meng in his hand, I will check it out from him.
The people Zhou Zheng brought were all selected from the army. The army had its own way of interrogating spies, and it was effective in every attempt.
Jiao Meng was fragile and used these tricks to deal with the fine work on him. Without any effort, Jiao Meng poured beans into the bamboo tube and said everything he knew.
When he fled to Yanbei with him, there was a priest.
The name of the priest, Ding, was named Ding Liuge.
The people sent by Zhou Zheng looked for the address provided by Jiao Meng, and the building was empty.
When asked why he came to Baoding, Jiao Meng said: "Brother Ding Liu said that Baoding Mansion is the origin of the True Immortal Sect, and Ji Shenxian became an immortal in Baoding Mansion."
Zhou Zheng was shocked. It was the first time he heard about it.
So I asked someone to continue to investigate. Baoding Prefecture is an important town, not only the county government office and the government office, but also two garrison offices. There were 10,000 registered officers and soldiers outside the city, and there were no less than 20,000 recruits. The Western Qin army brought by Zhou Zheng must be cautious in arresting people in Baoding Prefecture.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and more than fifty true immortal sect members were arrested one by one, and Jiao Meng identified them one by one. There was no such thing as Brother Ding Liu mentioned here.
In this way, Zhou Zheng put aside the investigation of the Qian family's mother and daughter.
