Chapter 55 Entering the Zheng family at night!

Zheng County Cheng’s residence is located on Dongmen Nei Street. The building is very large, including the front yard, the middle yard, the back yard, the left and right yard... and covers an area of ​​at least ten acres.

The courtyard is separated by a blue brick wall, especially the outermost wall, which is as high as 16 feet high, which is taller than the city wall of Wu'an County!

...

When doing things, smart people always expect defeat before they win, and think about retreat before they advance!

Li Zhao was a smart person, so he didn't rush to climb over the wall, but walked around the neighborhood for two rounds and observed the terrain:

There are trees there that can be used to hide.

There are alleys there, which can be used as a retreat route.

There is another dead end, so you must not run in... Everyone can observe clearly.

After knowing it, the two of them climbed up the outer wall of the East Crossing Courtyard with their flying claws, but did not rush over, but carefully peeked at the situation in the yard...

"Roar...roar!"

It was already the second day of the morning. The maids and servants living in the East Cross Courtyard fell asleep, but there were four or five huge mastiffs paced back and forth in the yard, and growled a few times from time to time.

It turned out that County Magistrate Zheng had done too many unethical things and was very worried that his enemies would come to assassinate him. For his life, he not only hired a large number of thugs to protect his safety day and night, but also spent a lot of money to buy a mastiff to guard the house.

These mastiffs are fierce and aggressive, with a particularly sensitive vision and smell. If their enemies want to sneak in, they will be very sad.

"Day Rat, I'm watching you!"

"Don't worry, young master, just be optimistic!"

As a thief, Bai Sun Rat had some ways to deal with such a guardian dog. He took out more than a dozen small steamed buns from his arms and threw them into the yard.

These are not ordinary steamed buns, but are carefully made of white flour, fish soup, egg yolks, meat foam... and are all the favorite things dogs eat.

Also, there is a little seasoning in it - mandala pollen, a very powerful anesthetic, and it is colorless and smellless, so even the dog can't smell it.

"Swoosh-swoosh!"

Smelling the fragrance of the small steamed buns, several mastiffs ran over quickly. They first looked around vigilantly, and then wandered around for a few times, but didn't take a nap.

The trained guard dogs do not eat anything else except the food given by their owners... But the taste of the small steamed buns is so fragrant. Several greedy mastiffs drool and their patience is constantly decreasing...

"Woom--pop,pop!"

Finally, a black and gray mastiff could not help but go up and swallowed a small steamed bun. Seeing this, the other mastiffs stepped forward and rushed forward to scramble, and soon swept away the dozen small steamed buns.

After a while, the mastiffs foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground one after another and fell asleep. But don’t worry, they will wake up in two hours, and no one can see the flaws!

It's done!

After clearing the obstacles, the two sneaked into the East Cross courtyard, carefully groped forward, then climbed over a high isolation wall, and finally entered the middle courtyard, and successfully found the location of the study. The light inside was still on, indicating that the owner of the house had not fallen asleep yet.

At the entrance of the study, there was a butler in blue, six or seven burly men, all wearing weapons on their waists.

Li Zhao and Bai Sun Rat dared not disturb these people. They quietly touched the bottom of the back window, dipped their little fingers with saliva, gently drew a small crescent-shaped crack on the paper on the white window, and squinted one eye and peeked inside...

The dormitory is divided into two rooms inside and outside, and is decorated very luxuriously. There is a pair of golden nanmu hu beds on it. On it is an old man who is nearly 60 years old, with eight-character eyebrows, triangular eyes, crooked nose bridge, and hooked nose head... His face is treacherous!

Needless to ask, I know, this is Zheng County Magistrate who has done all the bad things, everyone hates, and has stinking for three hundred miles against the wind. His nickname is Zheng Fox!

Two other acquaintances stood beside him, Li De and Zheng.

"Dad, Li Yulang's broom star actually came out of the prison safely. He is really lucky!"

"Hmph, it's not luck, but strength. I underestimated the enemy this time. I didn't expect that he had such powerful scheming and means at such a young age. In time, this son will become a great man!"

County Magistrate Zheng was not ordinary depressed, but very depressed.

He had instigated the Black Tornado before - Li Dayong took the thugs to the winery workshop to make trouble, just trying to test the truth and extort some money. Unexpectedly, Li Zhao was very skilled in martial arts and beat Li Dayong down in just one round, but in this way, a god-given opportunity appeared.

He made a quick decision and sent someone to buy the green-faced rogue Zhao Liu with a lot of money, asking him to secretly poison the medicine, which resulted in Li Dayong's life.

That was a strange poison I bought from the Western Regions merchants for a lot of money. It was colorless and tasteless. It could kill people invisibly, and it could not even be verified by silver needles.

After the matter was completed, he put the blame on Li Zhao and sent his godson, Captain Deng, to arrest Li Zhao on the charge of murder, throw him into the cell, and then sent another godson, Captain Chen, to secretly solve Li Zhao.

As long as Li Zhao dies, the winemaking workshop will return to his daughter and son-in-law's hands, which is equivalent to falling into his own hands. That is a hen that can lay golden eggs!

Even if someone investigates it afterwards, no problems will be found without evidence.

Let’s take a step back, what if the problem is found?

The fire signing order was issued by the magistrate Cao himself. If something goes wrong, he will naturally be fully responsible... As for himself, "I feel unwell and rest at home." He didn't even show up during the trial, so he naturally had no relationship, hehe!

Unexpectedly, such a closely linked poison plan failed. Li Zhao not only spent the night in the cell safely, but also turned over the case in the lobby, found out the real cause of Li Dayong's death, and caught the poisoned person - Zhao Liu.

If you make a mistake in one move, you will lose all the money!

Fortunately, I was cautious. I had sent the butler to secretly entrust an intermediary to hand over the heavy money and poison to Zhao Liu. Zhao Liu didn't know who the mastermind was, and even if he was caught, he couldn't explain anything.

Moreover, after Zhao Liu was arrested, he immediately sent a thug to kill the middleman. He tied his body to a large stone and threw it into a mud pit several feet deep. All the clues were interrupted, and no one could find his head, hehe!

"Dad, what should I do about the winemaking workshop? Did you give up like this? Is that a hen who can lay golden eggs?"

"Stupid, you can't steal it. Wouldn't you steal secretly? Think of a way to get Erguotou brewing method... As for Li Zhao, he can escape the first day of the day and the fifteenth day of the day. Rong Wei's father thought of another trick, sooner or later, and don't be too impatient."

"Yes, my father is a clever plan. Killing Li Zhao is like killing a bed bug. My daughter is not anxious, no hurry!"

...

Li Zhao hid under the back window, and heard clearly, and couldn't help but get angry, wishing he could rush in and kill these three guys.

But in this way, I would swear to alarm the others in the yard, and I and the Sun Rat would not be able to escape without any loss, so I had to suppress my anger and continue to wait for the opportunity.

At the same time, Li De in the dormitory spoke: "You are old Taishan, someone has found a son-in-law here today. I want to ask you to help me."

"Oh, tell me!"

"That's right, Mr. Wang from the Wang family's business fell in love with the only daughter of Widow Zhang, the North Gate - wanted to be the ninth concubine. But when he knew that Widow Zhang did not agree, some conflicts occurred between the two sides; and during the conflict, Mr. Wang accidentally beat Widow Zhang to death, and her only daughter also jumped into the well to commit suicide... Now Mr. Wang has been pressed into the cell. If he is promoted to the court for trial, he will probably be unable to escape death!

The Wang family was anxious and wanted to ask Old Taishan to help him and rescue Master Wang from the cell. They must have something to thank him. These ten South China Sea pearls are deposits. After the matter is completed, another 5,000 taels of silver will be given. Do you think about this matter?”

While speaking, Li De took out a small pocket and placed it on the table. After opening it, ten round-shaped pearls were exposed inside, all of which were the size of cherries.

If you take out any pearl of such quality, it will be enough for a small family to eat and use it for several years.

"Well, these beads are pretty good, so I took them away, but they were related to two lives. The only three thousand taels of silver is too little. I told the Wang family to take 8 thousand taels of silver. I promised that Master Wang would be released from prison safely. As for the murder, I just asked them to find a scapegoat. Do you understand?"

"The son-in-law understands that he will go back tomorrow. This time he must let the Wang family burst into blood. They are wealthy families."

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go back and rest."

"Yes, the son-in-law gave up!"

After Li De and Zheng left, the county magistrate Zheng immediately inserted the door. He first picked up ten South China Sea pearls and played with them. Then he took out a thick booklet from under the cushion of Hu's bed, took out a brush and wrote it on it...

After writing, I entered the inner room with my booklet and pearls in my arms, and after a while, I returned, and then opened the door to the study room...

"Come!"

"Old man, where are you resting tonight?"

"Well, just go to the little peach blossom room... Niu Da, Niu Er, you two guard the study door tonight, and you must not be neglected."

"promise!"

County Magistrate Zheng was not only greedy for money, but also a hungry ghost who was lustful. He took more than 20 concubines, and kept singing and singing every night, and was not afraid of emptying his body.

Xiao Taohua is the most beloved one of them. She was originally a courtesan in a local brothel. She had a pink peach blossom, which was charming and charming, and was especially good at serving men, so she became the seventeenth concubine of the Zheng family.

The lights were turned off and the door was locked. The Zheng County Prime Minister, surrounded by several guards, went to find his beloved concubine and went to have fun... Two other guards stayed behind to guard the study door!

"Young Master, there is no chance, let's withdraw, right?"

"No, stay here, I want to get one thing, something that can kill this old fox."
