After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Zheng Zejiu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Xie Xuanping's back, feeling inexplicably unhappy!

"Who was Master Xie drinking tea with just now? Why did he come out alone?"

Li Tongfu smiled nonchalantly:

"Maybe it's a tryst with someone she loves, otherwise, why is she so mysterious?"

Zheng Fangshi, who was standing behind him, saw his master glance at him sideways, then he raised his hand and gestured calmly, then followed his master out of the Xiangjiang Teahouse!

Unexpectedly, two girls in their twenties came out from the box on the other side.

A girl wearing a Suzhou embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, with delicate features, slender and quiet, and her pair of watery eyes are the most eye-catching!

The other one was wearing a long skirt with hundreds of golden butterflies and flowery clouds, with bright eyes, white teeth, round and smooth cheeks, and a blessed look!

When the two women saw the two men facing them, they were both delighted. They took two quick steps forward and bowed to greet them:

"Hello, young master... Hello, Lord Li!"

"Greetings to the young master...Greetings to Lord Li!"

Zheng Zejiu didn't even glance at the thin one. He nodded slightly to the fatter woman and went down the stairs first!

Li Tongfu looked at the two women, bowed and smiled:

"It's Miss Ma'er, nice to meet you!"

While they were talking, Zheng Zejiu had already gone downstairs. Li Tongfu nodded quickly and followed him down!

When the young lady from the Zuo family saw that the young master didn't even look at her, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

But he didn't say much, instead he smiled brightly and turned around to chat with Zhao Yan'er:

"Mother, you seem to be very familiar with the young master and his friends?"

Zhao Yan'er was the granddaughter of General Zhao Yanzhao. She was the girl with a round and plump face and a smile on her face:

"That's... our two families are both military families. Although we don't usually interact with each other, my mother and the young master's mother are close friends. She often took us out when we were young!"

The girl's surname is Zuo and her given name is Yaoyao. Her father is from the same family as Zuo Mingxin, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. She is sixteen this year, the same age as Zhao Yan'er!

These two people who had nothing to do with each other met each other for some unknown reason, got along very well, and became close friends!

Zuo Yaoyao felt bitter. Her father was only a sixth-rank official, and it would be difficult for her to find a connection with someone from a higher-ranking family!

Although I get along too closely with Zhao Yan'er, Yan'er is indeed a generous person and worth making friends with!

But Zhao Yan'er is a heartless person who likes to wield swords and guns.

The girls she interacted with were daughters of military generals, who were definitely not as good as the girls from wealthy and powerful families!

Zhao Yan'er and Zuo Yaoyao went down the stairs one after another, chatting and laughing as they walked out of the teahouse.

Zuo Yaoyao glanced in the direction where Li Tongfu and the others were going!

In the private room on the second floor, when there was finally no more noise outside, Jingling quietly walked out of the room, looked around, and then led her young lady out!

No one could have imagined that after the man on the second floor left, a man walked out from the darkness at the corner of the first floor and left the teahouse quietly!

At this time, Zheng Zejiu had returned to the town government office. His confidant Zheng Fangshi was frowning and looking distressed:

"Sir, the news from Taiyue is that only about 30 people from the main Iron Blood Army survived... Although there were casualties in the other two routes, they finally got rid of the tail flat and are now dormant!"

Zheng Zejiu waved his hand, and Zheng Fangshi stepped aside! He tapped the table with his fingers. His people had already been scattered. After checking for these days, he didn't find any clues. It was really strange!

"Master... Tell me, if you were a robber and knew that the enemy was highly skilled in martial arts, how would you choose between treasure and life?"

Zheng Fangshi said in a deep voice:

"If it were me, I would definitely know whether this treasure is worth risking my life for, and more importantly, whether I can rob it? Whether I can survive to spend it!"

After hearing this, Zheng Fangshi was stunned, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:

"Master, if that's the case, then these robbers must not be ordinary people. They are either from the underworld or well-trained..."

Zheng Zejiu nodded and spoke slowly:

"I fought with these men in black and their martial arts styles are very similar. They are probably not from the underworld!"

"...and in the military, no one can defeat the Iron Blood Army. Even if it's five against one, it's rare. So, it's not someone in the military!"

Zheng Fangshi was shocked: "That's someone from the Dark Guard Camp..."

Zheng Fangshi's face changed drastically: "Master, being able to dispatch so many secret guards at once, I'm afraid it involves..."

I dare not think about it anymore, nor do I dare to say anything more!

Zheng Zejiu was silent for a long time:

"What a vicious plot... Mr. Zheng, please inform those families that the people in the court should move as well!"

Zheng Fangshi responded and went out!

After a while, Zheng Yi flashed in:

"Master, the person surnamed Xie met in the teahouse was his sister-in-law Su Qingyan!"

Zheng Zejiu raised his eyebrows:

It's interesting, this Xie Xuanping looks like a decent man, but he's actually flirting with his sister-in-law...

I wonder if my benefactor would be furious if he knew about this!

Zheng Zejiu suddenly came back to his senses and wondered what happened to him.

Since ancient times, there have been countless underworld affairs in wealthy families. What's so strange about that? It's bad luck for the eldest daughter of the Su family to encounter one!

"I heard that the Marquis of Xinyang will soon arrive in Beijing. What position does his son Su Laoer hold now?"

"My lord, the second son of the Su family is now only a captain at the city gate!"

Zheng Jiuze smiled coldly:

"His father was banished from the capital, so it's really good that he can stay and take up a position! ... Tell him about his brother-in-law's affair and see how he reacts first!"

Zheng Yi: “?”

Zheng Zejiu: "After two days, ask the Ministry of War to transfer him to the North City Military Division!"

"Let's go to the palace!"

He took two steps and stopped again:

"Turn around and have someone keep an eye on the second young lady of the Su family and investigate what she has done in the past!"

Zheng Yi was stunned again: "Yes!"

imperial study room

Emperor Li Zong's eyes were calm as he listened quietly to Zheng Zejiu's analysis!

"This time I brought a thousand iron-blooded soldiers with me. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I traveled all the way from the capital to Taiyue Mountain day and night without stopping. On the third day, I headed straight to Taiyue Mountain without any delay..."

"It took a day from destroying the bandits to preparing for the return journey. The problem occurred on the way back... I fought with these men in black, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts..."

Emperor Li Zong stared at Zheng Zejiu like an eagle:

"Who do you think these people belong to?"

Although Zheng Zejiu was allowed to sit, he just stood there blankly, his face extremely pale, with some heartache and some gnashing of teeth!

"I always feel that this incident must be closely related to the local area and the capital!"

Emperor Li Zong naturally knew what his minister meant?

Some people in the court are dishonest and have set their sights on that batch of treasures!

Moreover, the royal family should be involved, otherwise, ordinary ministers cannot afford to support so many secret guards!

It’s time to deal with those fattened parasites and fill the national treasury!

It is also a disguised explanation to his deceased iron-blooded soldiers!

"Ze Jiu... Although you have made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time, you failed in protecting the treasure. Your merits and demerits offset each other. I will reward you based on your merits after you have thoroughly investigated the case!"
