Chapter 40: The night comes and the moon is bright
The moon is bright, and the stars are walking together at night. The two sides are quiet, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly comes. The heart is restless.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were about to have dinner, heard from someone that their father was looking for something important, and they could no longer stay there. They put down their chopsticks and asked someone to find a horse. They were taken one after another. In the surprised eyes of the villagers of Yushu Village, they followed the people away.
"What happened?" In order to get more time to consider, Zhang Xiaobao turned his head and asked the guard next to him.
"The yamen runners in the river caught some robberies today, only one of them missed the net, and all the others were caught. The arrested people said that they were asked by a business bank to do it. The business bank was still in a single line contact with them and could not find anyone. The master was anxious."
The guard jumped forward for a while before shouting to Zhang Xiaobao, he was in the limelight.
"Oh, it turns out that I don't know which business company is behind it? I would have known that I would go back after dinner. Since the person has been arrested, the business company will not take action in person unless it wants to be exposed. At this time, even if he is a royal relative, it is useless. The emperor can even kill relatives."
Zhang Xiaobao was not in a hurry this time and said to Wang Juan. Wang Juan nodded and asked: "That person is very important? How did he run away?"
"It's not important. A person sent to the other side to catch him, but he thought he could catch him, but he didn't know that after jumping into the water, there was no sight on the river. There were people patrolling the river, but they didn't see the heads exposed on the river. The clutch also let the nets over and over, but they still couldn't see anyone, as if they were gone all at once.
The master was anxious that he would tell the business bank about it when he went back, and was worried that the business bank would have other means, so it would be bad if he sent someone to hurt the young master and the young lady. Therefore, we two came to find the young master and the young lady to go back."
The guard shouted again and answered.
Wang Juan nodded, said to Zhang Xiaobao, "It seems that the man has a tube or something on his body, which can be used to ventilate in the water and beside the shore. Why don't they jump down and look for it? They are just patrolling with boats."
"It doesn't matter. If there is really a business that supports those who robbed the robbers behind their backs and the robbers are caught, they will naturally know." Zhang Xiaobao didn't care much about this.
"Not that. If we catch that person, won't we know who is doing something wrong behind the scenes?" Wang Juan felt that what this person knows is the most important thing.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and choked, "If you really catch this person, he will definitely say that he is from the Bushang, or after using all the torture, a person who is so well prepared and knows that he uses other things to ventilate in the water and has good water properties will usually be asked what he wants to ask."
"So it is the people of the Buxing Store. Did the Chen family participate? They used to cut off our water, but later they were killed by us. They had a motive for committing the crime." When Wang Juan heard the word Buxing Store, the first thing that came to mind was the Chen family.
"You didn't listen carefully just now. I said I really caught him. He would definitely say that he would go to the cloth store. He said it was a cloth store. Is it really a cloth store? The Chen family is not a fool. We didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for him. He just burned incense at home. It was too late to hide from us. How could he jump out and tell us that there was another Chen family?"
Zhang Xiaobao directly excluded the Chen family. Even if he decided to take time out to cheat the Chen family in the future, he would not think that it was the Chen family's actions. It was not only the Chen family, but it would be difficult to do anything to the Chen family in the future. He needs to make some use of it.
Wang Juan thought about it and found something wrong. "Who do you think it is? Are you the other Hou or something? I was jealous of seeing our family making money so much and coming here to harm us. Maybe someone who can compete for the position of the prince, or even the prince himself sent someone here."
"Does that kind of person need to do this? Just look for my father and give me a tip, and my father will know what to do, isn't it just to give in? Our family has always given two impressions to others, one is to be strong, and everyone who dares to make a decision on the farm will be eliminated, and the other is to be weak. As long as you think your identity is OK, you come over and we will give up the benefits.
They didn't come here directly, which means that their identities are not prominent, but they can support those who rob and sell the goods. This means that we know that they still have power. This power is not in the officialdom, or they don't want to use people in the officialdom."
Zhang Xiaobao was analyzing there. Wang Juan felt it made sense after hearing this, and asked again: "Can you guess who it is? The Tubo people? I suffered a loss last time, and I will deal with us this time?"
"Tubo came here not to rob, but to kill people and rob. They really wanted to not let us live a good life. After several times of killing, no one would want to pass this river. The person instructed was either outside or our own.
Our small river can allow merchants who don’t have much money to transport goods on small boats at any time. This is a transaction that has robbed people of big ships and a transaction that has pricing power there. Those who make money on Jingshui River are unwilling to do so. If it were me, this time it was a warning.
Next time, it’s not a problem here, but something happened to us in the dock beside the Jingshui River in Nazhou Prefecture. For example, it’s a fire and can’t buy wood locally. Such things can happen, which is the second warning.”
Zhang Xiaobao expressed his general suspicion with great certainty. Only hatred will only rob and not kill people, or the reasons for profit.
Wang Juan listened there and felt that Zhang Xiaobao was a bit in a liar. He should be the director of the Special Second Department and a director at the department level. The information he got was only one robbery. He analyzed so much, which was quite reliable.
When he was fighting with others, he didn't need to have too much information. Just a little bit, that's enough. If he really gave him an intelligence agency, how many valuable things they found? With just a little clue, he could introduce a rough idea, just like the one who promoted Mo to reach out, and he would be caught.
Wang Juan really didn't know whether it was the system that caused people like Zhang Xiaobao to lose or whether fate was like this, but she wanted to know what those people would do, so she asked: "What will be the third warning?"
"Do you think they have a third chance? There are only two times, the first exposure, the second time is what we arranged for them, and then it is time for us to fight back. Two ace snipers have a chance to shoot the third shot? Besides, they are not ace.
If it were me, I would never do this. If I don’t take action, it would be easy to say. Since I took action, I will solve the problem directly and test it when there is no detailed information. For example, when we are on the surface of Li Xun, our information is on the surface. Can we test it? Others know our nature, and they dare to warn us?
This time I made them lose money. After seeing my father for a while, I asked someone to send a message to Li Xun that the dock could be prepared, whether to burn or monopolize the shipbuilding wood, let them go, I hope it is the latter, I like this kind of economic game, and I don’t like people who break the rules.
If it is the latter, I will give them another chance. If it is the former, then we have to wait for more violent revenge, heaven and hell are separated by a thread."
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao was already sure that it was what some people on the Jingshui River did.
Wang Juan smiled and said nothing. She liked Zhang Xiaobao like this, just like the small bridge that first came, depending on the thoughts of the visitor. Then it was heaven and hell in a thought.
The three horses were still running, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not in a hurry at all. They had already analyzed it.
The one who was different from them was Zhang Zhong. He did not have the super analysis ability of Zhang Xiaobao. He was still looking for a person he could doubt, such as Chen Family Zhuangzi.
When he heard about the business, he thought of the cloth store. The Chen family, who had cut off the water, thought that the Chen family might have contacted the cloth store and asked him about the trouble.
"Master, don't worry, our Zhangjiazhuang is not afraid of trouble. Since they dare not come out in person, they may be afraid of us."
Erniu has been accompanying Zhang Zhong all the time. Seeing Zhang Zhong’s anxious look, he started persuading him.
"You don't know, sometimes some things are not as simple as they seem. They haven't really taken action yet. When they take action, everything will be too late."
Zhang Zhong was not as optimistic as Erniu. He was a little uncomfortable with this kind of thing. In the past, he was all done by his son and daughter-in-law. He devoted himself to studying. Later, he became the county magistrate and learned a lot of new things in the past few days. But when he had to face the things himself, he realized that he still didn't understand this aspect and had to learn it.
Erniu really wants to say that as long as the young master and the young lady come, everything will become simple, but I dare not say that, where should the master be placed?
He didn't dare to say that, but Zhang Zhong didn't care. "Wait for Xiaobao and Juanjuan to come, ask them, maybe you'll have an idea."
"Master, I don't think you can even imagine that the young master and the young lady may not be feasible." Erniu followed up at the right time.
But Zhang Zhong's face sank, "Erniu, you have been following Xiaobao, how can you say such words? My son Xiaobao is better than me, the father, and each generation is better than each generation."
Erniu realized that he had said something wrong, and nodded quickly and said, "The master is right. The young master is amazing. It will be easier to deal with when the young master arrives."
"Well, yes, it's good to wait until my little baby comes. See if he has any good ideas. The river cannot make any mistakes now, otherwise Huayuan County and Sanshui County will be all over."
When Zhang Zhong thought of his son, he felt much better. The only thing he was worried about was that the business company had a backup plan and continued to make trouble.
The two of them said one by one there, and Zhang Zhong's mood was finally not so bad. When the people at the dock brought new tea and snacks, the sound of guards also came from the other side.
