Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather
Chapter 448 Mr. Zhang, it’s late at night, why don’t you go back to your room and sleep!
late at night.
In Jizhou City, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared outside Luo's mansion and surrounded Luo's mansion.
Dong dong dong~~
Violent banging on the door resounded throughout the night.
"Who!" The servant inside the door was awakened by the banging on the door and asked impatiently.
"Open the door!"
With a creak, the door opened a crack, and before the servants could see clearly what was going on outside, the soldiers rushed straight into the door.
"The Yamen is handling the case! There are thieves sneaking into the city to cause trouble. I am ordered by Lord Tongzhi to search for the thieves!"
"Come here, search!"
It was also a middle-aged man wearing a blue official robe who took the lead and rushed into the Luo family, and then the whole Luo family was in a panic.
"Who are you?"
Luo Jiangqiu walked out of the bedroom with his clothes on, looked at a group of fierce soldiers, and asked angrily.
"The Yamen is handling the case! You are Luo Jiangqiu!" asked the middle-aged official.
"The Yamen handles the case? Which Yamen are you from?" Luo Jiangqiu asked.
A sneer appeared on the middle-aged official's face, "Jizhou Wei Si Yamen! I am Li Guangyao, the commander of Jizhou Wei!"
Luo Jiangqiu was completely confused!
The soldiers of Jizhou Guard came to search for the thief!
Who the hell arranged this?
Jizhou Guards are responsible for the city defense of Jizhou City and the patrol of Jizhou Canal, but they are not responsible for detecting theft in the city.
Anticipating theft is the job of the Zhizhou Yamen. Unless there is a big trouble, the Zhizhou Yamen will generally not ask soldiers from the guard station to get involved in the anti-theft matter.
Because this will show that the officials in Zhizhou Yamen are incompetent.
"You!" Luo Jiangqiu wanted to say something else, but Li Guangyao gave him a slap in the face, "Old man, shut up, you don't have the right to question me in front of me!"
"Take them all!"
…
In the early morning, on the streets of Jizhou City.
A large number of officials from the Zhizhou Yamen divided into teams and took to the streets. When they saw shops with Luo family plaques, they broke in and arrested people and sealed them.
"The yamen is looking for thieves, and idle people should stay away!"
Bang bang bang~~
"Open the door! If you don't open the door, it will be broken down!"
"Mad, you dare to resist, kill!"
All of a sudden, various noisy sounds rang out, completely waking up the sleeping city.
Inside Zhizhou Yamen.
Zhang Mo, the governor of Jizhou, was woken up by the noisy sound.
"What happened!" Zhang Mo put on his clothes, walked out of the bedroom, looked at the staff outside the door and asked.
"Proprietor, something big happened in the city!" the staff said eagerly.
"What's the big deal?" Zhang Mo asked with a frown.
Although the people in Jizhou City are complex, and thieves often cause trouble, it is not a big deal for some young people to make trouble.
Neither the yamen of Zhizhou Yamen nor the soldiers of Jizhou Guard are just for a living, not to mention that Hengdaomen is in charge of Jizhou.
There are really not many people who can cause big things in Jizhou City.
"For some reason, the policemen in the Yamen and the soldiers of Jizhou Guard are hunting down the bandits in the city!" the aide said.
Zhang Mo looked at him in astonishment, "A policeman from the Yamen?"
"That's right, Captain Han didn't just go crazy and took away all the agents!"
There are many kinds of servants in government yamen. There are Zhuang Ban Minzhuang who are responsible for guarding the city gates, yamen, cells, patrolling outside the city, etc.
There are zaoli in the station class, who are responsible for following the chief officer, guarding the left and right, and obeying the orders of the superior. For example, those who shout "power" when the yamen is promoted to the hall are the zaoli in the station class.
There is a squad of fast men, referred to as police officers, who are responsible for detecting criminals, searching for evidence, etc.
There are also people who work in the yamen, such as watchmen, grooms, cooks, and kuding, who are also servants.
Among them, the most powerful one is undoubtedly the policeman. After all, the policeman is responsible for detecting thieves and often has to deal with some martial arts warriors. He can't do it without some strength.
But here comes the problem!
The policemen in the yamen were hunting for thefts in the city, but he, the magistrate, didn't know anything about it!
Who gave the order to the police?
Other colleagues and judges?
impossible!
For things like this, you should at least tell him.
And what happened to the soldiers of Jizhou Guard?
Zhang Mo's face became extremely gloomy.
"Go, let me call all the agents back. What are they going to do?" Zhang Mo said angrily.
The staff member next to him was about to agree, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from above.
"Master Zhang, it's late at night, why don't you go back to your room and sleep!"
"Who?"
Everyone in the yard was startled by the sudden sound.
"Hengdaomen Jihai!"
The night wind blew by, and a figure appeared on the big tree in the courtyard. Under the cold moonlight, a face with a mixture of light and dark appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Hengdaomen!" Zhang Mo narrowed his eyes.
yes!
In the entire Jizhou City, besides Hengdaomen, who else could make such a big fuss?
Very few disciples of the Hengdao Sect become officials, and even if they do, most of them are just minor officials.
However, Hengdaomen is deeply rooted in Jizhou and is inextricably linked to many officials in Jizhou.
Take the police officers of Zhizhou Yamen as an example, half of them are from Hengdaomen.
It can be said that it is more convenient and faster for Hengdaomen to mobilize the police than him, the prefect of the state.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Mo asked.
"The family teacher has a destiny, Jizhou cannot tolerate the Luo family!" Ji Haidao.
Zhang Mo frowned, "Luo family!"
He didn't know why Hengdaomen wanted to deal with the Luo family, but the Luo family was just a wealthy businessman, so he wouldn't care too much.
"Just because of the Luo family?"
"It's just because of the Luo family!" Ji Hai said affirmatively.
"After dawn, I don't want any more trouble in the city!"
He couldn't go against the Hengdao Sect for the Luo family. It was meaningless and unnecessary.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhang. My Hengdao Sect will have a foothold in Jizhou in the future, and will definitely not cause trouble in Jizhou!"
Zhang Mo nodded, "I will visit Senior Ji tomorrow, so let's do it tonight!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"
Ji Hai clasped his fists and saluted.
Zhang Mo winked at his staff, and the staff immediately asked the surrounding servants and guards to retreat.
Ji Hai nodded to Zhang Mo, and with a whoosh, he disappeared into the tree canopy.
The night was still as quiet as before, and the candlelight in the bedroom was blown out, as if nothing had happened.
...
At the same time, the Lu family of Guang'an Prefecture.
The Lu family is the largest salt merchant in Guang'an Prefecture, but the glory of the Lu family is no longer there.
When Zheng Xiao impeached the Liaodong Salt Transport Bureau, many salt merchants in Liaodong were implicated, including the Lu family. However, the Lu family was lucky and was not confiscated, but was fined more than 100,000 taels of silver.
After that, Zheng Xiao took charge of the Liaodong Salt Transport Bureau, and Tenglongwei intervened in the salt business. Although the Lu family could still do salt business, the Lu family's income was greatly reduced.
More than six years have passed, and the Lu family has not recovered its previous prosperity. On the contrary, because of the serious damage to the salt business, the Lu family has shown some dilapidated appearance.
Under the clear night, ghostly figures entered the Lu family silently.
In the wide mansion, these figures searched every house silently.
"Who is it!"
Suddenly someone screamed.
But the next moment a snow-white edge sank into the man's throat.
With a plop, the body fell to the ground.
The two masked men in black took a look at the body, without any communication, and continued to search in the room.
Time passed by minute by minute, and some slight noises would be heard from time to time in the house, but soon these noises were suppressed again.
About half an hour later, a crisp bird song sounded, and a group of black-clothed masked figures left, and the originally quiet Lu family house was filled with a faint bloody smell.
In the main courtyard bedroom, Lu Yan, the head of the Lu family, trembled and got up from the bed, looking at the dimness outside the window with horror.
"Master!" Next to him, his concubine trembled and called.
"Lie down, don't make a sound!" Lu Yan said in a low voice.
The concubine was also a smart person. Hearing this, she quickly covered her mouth and dared not make any sound.
Lu Yan got off the bed, groped to the side of the bed, and looked at the bricks and stones taken out from under the bed. His face turned pale.
"It's over, the account book is lost!"
He didn't know who took the account book, and he didn't want to know.
He had been awakened by the noise outside just now, but just when he was about to get up to check the situation, he found several dark figures standing in his bedroom.
Those figures stood in front of him, staring at him with dark eyes, not speaking or saying anything, like evil spirits.
He lay down again tremblingly, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep tremblingly.
And those people didn't care about him, just searched the room.
He heard the movement under the bed, but he didn't dare to open his eyes or look up.
Until the noise completely disappeared, he opened his eyes slightly and looked outside. After making sure that there was no one, he dared to get up.
Thinking of those people just now, he shuddered all over.
Those people sneaked into the Lu family secretly, but they didn't mean to hide it at all. They didn't care about him even though he woke up.
This~~
Lu Yan's heart was beating fast, and his brain was like a ball of paste.
What's going on?
Whose people are these people?
Why did they take the account book?
...
Zhen Family of Dongyang Prefecture
In the dead of night, a group of black-clothed and masked figures also sneaked into the Zhen family's house.
However, this group of people acted more secretly and carefully.
Because this is Dongyang Prefecture, and Dongyang Prefecture is the capital of Pingyuan Province.
There are many government offices in the prefecture, as well as many martial arts masters and officials.
Although these people acted more cautiously, something unexpected happened not long after they entered the Zhen family.
"Be careful, there are masters!"
A warning sounded, and the originally quiet night suddenly became noisy.
All the servants and guards of the Zhen family were awakened, and candles were lit.
"There are thieves entering the house, catch them!"
The calls completely tore the tranquility of the night.
In the main courtyard of the Zhen family, two black-clothed and masked men had blood on their chests, and a slightly thin figure stood opposite them.
"Who are you?"
"Go!"
"Want to go! Where to go!" The slightly thin man stopped the two black-clothed men without saying a word.
But before he could make another move, a strong wind suddenly hit him.
The sharp sound of breaking through the air with the cold air pierced his heart, making him tremble and retreat several steps.
"You go!" Luo Jinsong glanced at the two injured brothers and said in a deep voice.
That's right, these black-clothed masked men in front of him are soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion, including the guards of the Yang family, but the soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion are the majority.
The two soldiers didn't say much, bowed slightly to Luo Jinsong, and then supported each other and jumped onto the roof.
At this time, the entire Zhen family was in chaos, and many soldiers who had sneaked in were discovered by the Zhen family's guards and servants.
"Who are you? Why did you come to Zhen's house?" The thin man stared at Luo Jinsong.
Luo Jinsong was covered in black clothes, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes.
With a wave of his sleeve, the three-foot-long Yanling sword was unsheathed.
The blade slashed diagonally, the figure blurred, and only the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
The figures of the two people were almost at their peak, and the snow-white sharp edges were densely drawn across the dim night.
However, the battle between the two did not last long. After a crisp bird song sounded, Luo Jinsong forced the thin man away with a knife, jumped onto the roof like a night owl, and disappeared into the dim night in the blink of an eye.
The thinner man did not pursue him, but looked at the direction in which Luo Jinsong disappeared with his brows furrowed.
"Master Yan, who was that person just now?"
At this time, an old figure walked out tremblingly from the main room at the back and asked.
This old man is Zhen Shicheng, the head of the Zhen family in Dongyang, and the name of Master Yan he refers to is Yan Huichun.
"I don't know!" Yan Huichun said coldly.
Zhen Shicheng asked nervously: "Why did they come to our Zhen family, and who sent them?"
"I don't know!" Yan Huichun turned to look at him.
I already told you that I don’t know anymore, can’t you hear me?
Zhen Shicheng was startled by his gaze. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only stand there blankly.
Yan Huichun frowned and thought for a while, "I will report this matter to the Lord, so you don't have to worry about it!"
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Wait, Lord Yan!" Zhen Shicheng was a little scared. He wanted Yan Huichun to stay and protect him.
Mudd!
Can you not be afraid?
A group of people of unknown origin almost touched his bed. If Yan Huichun hadn't happened to be here tonight, he would have died.
Unfortunately, Yan Huichun ignored him at all, and his figure disappeared into the dim courtyard in the blink of an eye.
