Chapter 728 Stalking
Zhou Zilong didn't care so much. He took the excuse to go to the Beijing Guard Camp and left the Beijing Guard Division.
In fact, he really wanted to go home and have a look, so he called his eldest daughter-in-law over and scolded her, and forced her to hand over the stolen things, but he endured it and didn't go back.
Today he asked Ah Jiang to take Mrs. Zhang back to count the private warehouse. If he goes back now, those troubles will come to him.
Let’s check the accounts first and see how many things are missing. Then make a list and throw them into the woman’s face. Forget it, let’s throw them into the face of her son. Although this daughter-in-law is hateful, she has no father-in-law scolded her daughter-in-law. If it is spread, it makes people laugh, but it is a shame to the royal family.
Over there, in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Xiao Yi was listening to Ning Shiyi's report.
"Yesterday afternoon, Xu Xiaofu went out to do business..."
Before Ning Shiyi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiao Yi: "I know this, I don't know."
"Okay. After you heard that, I asked my Ninth Brother to go to the Jingwei Department. Ninth Brother is still there now. When Ninth Brother first arrived, I heard that Xu Qiao was just finishing drinking with Zhou Zilong, and I also heard that Zhou Zilong's personal follower Ah Jiang returned to the royal camp, but he did not go back alone. There were two people following him, both of whom were by Xu Qiao. Ah Jiang was holding a box in his hand. These were what happened before Ninth Brother went, and the next thing was the matter after Ninth Brother went. Xu Qiao took the box to find Zhou Zilong, and the two seemed to have arguing. Later, Xu Qiao returned to his house. After half an hour, Xu Qiao took Xu Xiaofu out of the yamen.
Instead of returning to the Duke Cheng's Mansion, they went to a yard in the south of the city. Brother Jiu asked the Sun brothers to follow him all the way, and the house was the one that Xu Qiao secretly bought.
Xu Qiao stayed inside for more than half an hour and then came out. He couldn't see his expression clearly when he came out. The Sun brothers specifically asked Wang Jian to bring the city patrol soldiers over. Wang Jian said Xu Qiao had no expression on his face. You also know who Xu Qiao is. He didn't want to offend even the city patrol soldiers. However, Wang Jian said hello to him last night, but he ignored him, as if he was worried.
The Sun brothers followed him. After Wang Jian's team left, Xu Qiao gave Xu Xiaofu a few instructions, saying, "What are you talking about, you are far away and you can't hear clearly."
The Sun brothers' troops were divided into two groups, Sun Da continued to follow Xu Qiao, and Sun Er followed Xu Xiaofu.
Xu Qiao went back to Jingweiying directly, and when he went back, he turned off the lights and went to bed.
Xu Xiaofu was busy all night. He went back to the small yard before, and for about half an hour, he and the old man who was looking at the yard, and there was also a man in his thirties, who might be the old man's son. The man was carrying a big sack. From a distance, he could guess that there was only a person inside. Maybe he had given medicine, or maybe the man died, but he didn't move at all.
They were walking on the small road, and Xu Xiaofu was an expert, so they avoided patrolling the city. They went to the Huang family escort agency. I don’t even mention the prince, but it was the escort agency, Huang San’s escort agency.
They entered through the back door of the escort agency, and soon the old man and his son came out, but they didn't see Xu Xiaofu and the sack.
Early this morning, the Huang family escort agency made an escort. A team of twelve large boxes, ten escorts, and a total of 22 people, He Lifu, a total of escorts. This escort was sent to Lu'an, Anhui. The owner was Dong Xian, the Imperial College Priest who retired the year before. Lord Dong had not returned home after his retirement, and this time he went back with his family. His family hired three escort agencies, and the Huang family escort agency was only one of them. It is said that the twelve large boxes contained books and poems by Mr. Dong.
Perhaps because he was worried that something would be found, Xu Xiaofu also went out of Beijing with the escort agency and sent it for twenty or thirty miles before he came back from the horse.
After Xu Xiaofu came back, he did not return to the yamen or the Duke Cheng's mansion, but went to Wang Wenjun's house.
The prince must have heard of Wang Wenjun's Yashang, which is the largest Yashang in the capital.
Xu Xiaofu spent a stick of incense in the tooth shop and came out. After he left, Sun Er went in and asked, it turned out that Xu Xiaofu was renting a house in the tooth shop, and he rented it out, the small yard in the south of the city.
Sun Er went to the small yard to see it again, and the big red paper rented by Jiwu had been pasted at the door.
Then, Xu Xiaofu went to the Jingwei Department."
Ning Shiyi finished speaking in one breath, Xiao Yi's brows tighter and asked, "Where is Zhou Zilong?"
Ning Shiyi said: "Brother Jiu said that Zhou Zilong's personal companion Ah Jiang went back to the royal camp just after dawn. As for what he went back to do, I don't know. In the afternoon, Zhou Zilong went to Jingwei Camp. He really went and didn't go home."
"You said Ah Jiang brought a box back from the Zhou family. Later, Xu Qiao took the box to find Zhou Zilong. What kind of box is it? Have you checked it with your ninth brother?" Xiao Yi asked.
Ning Shiyi shook his head: "At that time, my ninth brother had not arrived at the yamen. All these were heard from others. He had not seen the box and didn't know what it was."
Xiao Yi said: "How many people do you have to use?"
Ning Shiyi felt a little embarrassed: "I am the most useless in our family, and the people under my command are also the most useless, just... I only have three."
In fact, it’s not that Ning Shiyi is the most useless, but that he is the youngest, and after a while, he becomes a errand for his brothers.
"Do you find a new face, go to the royal camp to find out what's going on at Zhou Zilong's house?" Xiao Yi ordered.
"Okay." Ning Shiyi agreed and ran out.
Xiao Yi thought about it and asked the servant to ink and wrote a letter himself.
He handed the letter to the servant and said, "Six hundred miles in a hurry, and send it to Zou Xuehuai."
This letter was given to the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guard Zou Xuehuai.
Huang San's escort was sent to Anhui, so he could only rely on Zou Xuehuai.
For the past few months, Xiao Yi has been searching for the whereabouts of the will. Later, he heard that Huang had appeared in Baoding Prefecture and disappeared later, so he asked someone to search for clues near Baoding.
It was not until a month ago that I finally found out that Xu Qiao went to Shifeng Camp to redeem people, and on the way, he rescued Li Hanlin's second aunt's wife.
The female family of the official family was almost abducted, which was not a decent matter, so there has been no news for several months.
Fortunately, someone went to Junhanli with Xu Qiao and drank a few more drinks before saying this.
Xiao Yi immediately asked someone to go to check. There were twelve Li Hanlins in the Hanlin Court, but none of them had a second aunt who came to visit her.
The woman Xu Qiao rescued was somewhat similar to the legendary Huang family, both in terms of age and temperament.
He is in his thirties, with a beautiful face, and at first glance he is a wealthy wife with no fingers touching the spring water.
Xiao Yi sent someone to keep an eye on Xu Qiao for a month, found that there was a woman living in the small yard.
Because I looked at Lao Cangtou in the yard, I asked his daughter-in-law to buy things for women, and the thing was finely crafted and obviously it was not something that Lao Cangtou's daughter-in-law could afford.
