Chapter 17 Shocking Inside Story

Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door. Li Wei was temporarily putting his mind down and going forward to open the door. He saw a man standing at the door, as if he was a gray-clothed scholar with Gao Yiqing. He bowed outside the door and said, "Captain Li, my master invites you to come over. I wonder if it is convenient?"

Since Gao Yiqing was the crown prince Zhu Biao, this man in gray would not be an ordinary person anymore. Li Weizheng did not dare to neglect and immediately replied, "Then I will disturb your master."

Gao Yiqing lives on the third floor, and is in the upper room on the east side, which is also the best room in the entire inn. Li Wei was following him into the house and looking around, but he could not see Gao Yiqing.

"Mr. Li, please sit down." The other party brought a chair to ask him to sit down, and pointed at himself and said, "I will introduce myself first. I have a surname Fang, my name is Hou Cheng, and I am from Zhejiang Province."

‘Fang Houcheng,’ Li Weizheng lowered his head and thought for a while. He had never heard of this name before, but Li Weizheng immediately felt relieved. Since he refused to admit Gao Yiqing’s true identity, his name must be fake.

"Mr. Fang has anything to ask me?"

"Okay! Captain Li is quick to speak, then I'll just say it."

Fang Houcheng took the iron card of Chizhou Flying Squirrel from the plate and slowly pushed it to Li Weizheng, "Where did Captain Li get this iron card?"

"Is this iron plate?" Li Weizheng picked up the iron plate and smiled calmly: "The owner of this iron plate is Chizhou Feishu. He is a thief wanted by the government. He killed a brother of mine in Linhuai County a few days ago. We searched his residence and got the iron plate. We saw the place name of Haotang Town on a piece of paper. We chased him all the way, but accidentally got involved in this major case."

"Is that true?" Fang Houcheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why do I think Captain Li is insincere?"

Li Wei was slightly angry. Is this asking for advice? This is clearly a cross-examination and treating himself as an assassin. He was angry, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled coldly and said, "If I were also an assassin, would your master still have a chance to go to Haotang Mountain?"

"Brother Fang, you can't ask others like this." At some point, Gao Yiqing appeared at the door. He seemed to have recovered from his previous illness. He walked into the room with his hands behind his back and said apologetically to Li Wei: "My junior is very knowledgeable, but he just doesn't understand the worldly ways. Please forgive me, Captain Li."

Li Weizheng shook his head, "This is not a matter of how you speak, but this brother Fang doesn't believe me at all. I gave you the iron plate. My original intention was to help you figure out the background of those people, but I didn't expect to wrap myself in. This made me underestimate this brother Fang."

"What do you mean?" Fang Hou Chengteng stood up and looked directly at Li Weizheng and said angrily: "Who are you allude to?"

Li Weizheng ignored him, and bowed to Gao Yiqing and said, "As Brother Gao said, we will meet in life, and we will have a different path. Let's say goodbye."

"You are rude!" Fang Houcheng was furious and pointed at Li Weizheng and said, "You are extremely bold and reckless."

Gao Yiqing grabbed him and said in a deep voice to Li Weizheng: "Go! You leave quickly before I have no regrets."

Li Wei was turning around and walked quickly. Fang Houcheng looked at his back and was really angry. He couldn't help but say angrily: "This person obviously knows the identity of His Highness. He dares to be so rude. He is really brave."

"Forget it, you can't blame him." Gao Yiqing smiled faintly and said, "It's because we are unwilling to admit our identity. How can he treat him with great politeness? Don't you think he is actually taking advantage of the problem to avoid our inquiries?"

Fang Houcheng was stunned. He called Li Weizheng. He had a lot to ask, but now they didn't ask anything.

Gao Yiqing sighed slightly, "This person is very good at picking up the iron plate. It actually has a deeper meaning to give me the iron plate. It's not simple! It makes me more and more interested in him, Yu Ping."

"I'm here!" The chief guard immediately stepped forward and bowed, "please give me instructions."

Gao Yiqing stared at the night scene, and he suddenly snorted softly and told him: "If I was not wrong, this person would definitely call the shopkeeper to ask about the situation. You should keep an eye on the shopkeeper and take him to me immediately when the shopkeeper comes out of his room."

"Abide by the order!" The chief guard bowed and bowed and hurried away. When he walked away, Gao Yiqing suddenly turned around and asked Fang Houcheng: "Xiaoru, who do you think these assassins are sent by?"















Li Wei was returning to the room, and he was feeling very uncomfortable. Although he suspected that he was Fang Houcheng, he was obviously instructed by the prince Zhu Biao. The prince kept thanking him and gave him gold and approaching him, but he didn't believe in him at all. Fortunately, he still had a little sympathy for him. For nothing, he would rather go to the north to spend time!

In the room, Zhang and Jia were no longer drinking, and were waiting for him anxiously. Seeing him in, Zhang Erhu immediately asked, "Fifth Brother, what happened? Who are those robbers on the mountain?"

Li Wei waved his hand to stop his curiosity, "Don't ask about this matter, do you understand? I'm for your own good. This matter may involve the high-level power struggle of the Ming Dynasty. It's best for us little people to stay away from it."

Zhang and Jia were so scared that their faces were pale and their legs were trembling. Li Wei smiled and comforted them, "Actually, there is no need to worry, I have a sense of my own."

"Fifth Brother, let's go now!" Jia Laoliu said in a trembling voice: "I can't sleep at night with them."

"Okay! Go and notify your brother to pack your luggage, and we will go back to Linhuai County overnight." After saying that, Li suddenly remembered the broken bridge again. After pondering for a moment, he was still a little unwilling to accept it, so he ordered Zhang Erhu, "By the way, call the shopkeeper for me, I have something to ask him."

Soon, the inn shopkeeper was called into the room, and he bowed and smiled, "What are the instructions for the lord?"

"I'll ask you, how exactly is the bridge leading to the town broken?"

"If you go back to the official, it is caused by disrepair." The shopkeeper answered very casually.

With a 'bang!', Li Wei slapped the table hard, and the teacup and the shopkeeper's heart jumped up in shock. Li Wei snatched his collar and said viciously: "Do you know what we are doing in Dingyuan County? Someone accused your inn of a private thief, and I'm here to arrest you and bring you to justice."

The shopkeeper was so scared that he was arrested and arrested in prison. Even if he was wronged, he would lose at least half of his life. He was sweating profusely and stammered: "I said! I said! That bridge was destroyed by a fake Lan family's fake and people. They would not allow me to tell me."

‘Lan Family?’ Li Wei was stunned. Of course he knew that the Lan Family was Lan Yu, the most favored general in the Ming Dynasty today. How could he get involved? He suddenly realized something and asked: “Where is Lan Yu’s ancestral home? How many fakes do he have here?”

The shopkeeper replied tremblingly: "If you go back to the official, Lord Lan's family is twenty miles south of Haotang Town. There is a manor five miles away in front of him. He has a lot of fakes here, at least three or five hundred people, and he is rampant in the countryside all day long, extremely arrogant."

The four words "Three or Five Hundred People" were like a lightning bolt in the dark night, illuminating the fog in front of Li Weizheng's eyes. All the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear. With excitement, he blurted out two words: "King Yan"















"Fifth Brother, we have all packed up." Zhang Erhu stood at the door with a few yamen runners.

"Okay! Let's leave now." Since he understood everything, Li Weizheng had no intention of giving any souvenirs. Although the future is important, his life is even more important. He quickly packed his things and turned around and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper was anxious. Why did they leave? The money had not been paid yet! "That, official, it's evening now, it's not too late to leave tomorrow dawn!"

Li Wei was taking out two stale money and throwing it to him, and then told him: "If anyone asks us, we will say that we are in urgent business and leave overnight. Do you know? Don't talk nonsense."

The shopkeeper held two staples of money tightly and nodded, "Don't worry, sir! When we do in inn business, there is no reason to betray local tyrants."

Li Wei was just hearing that although he was unpleasant, his words made sense. He waved his hand and the group left the inn with their luggage and quickly disappeared into the dark night fog.

Watching a few local snakes walk away, the shopkeeper was about to go back to clean the room, and a big hand suddenly pinched his neck from behind, pinching his tongue almost spitting out. There was only a cold ear to him: "If you want to survive, follow me obediently."
