Chapter 151 So timely
"Shi Wulang, why is he here?" Shen Lingzhu stood at the door and watched the people being invited into the inner room. He was very puzzled as to how the captain of the Shenyou Guard could come to Bingzhou Guard?
Shen Xianzhu only saw the side of his face, but he would not make a mistake. He pulled his sister and Uncle Huang to another store. "And he's still wearing cloth clothes. It's totally unlike his arrogant personality."
"There's no guards following him either." Shen Lingzhu rolled his eyes and grabbed his eldest brother and said, "Do you think he came to Bingzhou secretly?"
"Maybe he was transferred here." Huang Zongqi only saw Shi Wulang's back, but he could see Xiao Zhuzi's expression clearly.
He had heard the sisters talk about their conflict with Shi Wulang, "Don't do anything crooked, he's an official."
"Hehe, uncle..." Shen Lingzhu really had some ideas.
Huang Zongqi didn't listen and walked away quickly. She trotted after him, grabbed him and kept telling him to be obedient.
Shen Xianzhu shook his head and smiled, then turned around to look at the pen and ink shop behind him. He also felt that Shi Wulang was wearing civilian clothes so low-key to avoid being heard.
So the question is, what circumstances made him so low-key? Bingzhou Guard and Shenyou Guard did not belong to the same commanding officer.
As he was thinking this, he caught up with the two people in front, and found that Uncle Huang had already compromised with Xiao Zhuzi and returned to the pen and ink shop.
"What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash. Even though Shi Wu is a young master, he comes from a military family and can fight." He thought Xiao Zhuzi was going to put him in a sack.
Shen Lingzhu said: "Brother, I am not so ignorant.
Like my uncle said, it's possible that he was transferred here, so we'll check it out first.
He's never seen his uncle, so it'll be fine if he keeps an eye on him." Once we're sure Shi Wulang sneaked in, we can find a chance to put him in a sack.
Shen Xianzhu was skeptical, but through the last interrogation of Erlu, he was basically certain that the person who hired them to kidnap the two sisters was the Shi family guards.
But his little Zhuzi is not the kind of person who would not take revenge, and beating up his enemy is the least of his worries.
"Xiao Zhuzi, even if he came secretly, it would be useless for us to report him." He said worriedly.
Shen Lingzhu nodded: "So, let's go shopping somewhere else."
She pulled her elder brother, who kept looking back, and went to another shop, where she carefully selected an inkstone.
When they left, their uncle still hadn't returned. Shen Xianzhu wanted to go to the shop to check on the situation, but she refused: "My uncle is fine, and if we go, it might attract attention.
Let's go. I want to explore other places and find some goods that can be sold in Baozhou, so that our trip to Bingzhou Prefecture won't be in vain."
“Other business is another matter, the important thing is to sell out the current bellows as soon as possible.
And we need to fix the broken ones too." Speaking of this, Shen Xianzhu's attention was diverted.
Shen Lingzhu told him not to worry, Uncle Qi would definitely handle it properly. Instead of everyone being busy with the same thing and wasting manpower, it would be better for everyone to do their own thing.
Shen Xianzhu couldn't resist her, so he followed her from one street to another. He was so tired that he didn't want to talk.
The person sent by Wang Erye to follow them was even more reluctant to follow, but he found that the little girl seemed to have discovered him.
Almost every time she came out of a shop, she would deliberately look in her direction.
But even so, I still can't turn around and leave until I find out where they're staying. Sigh...
Time passed slowly, and it was almost noon when Shen Xianzhu saw his sister going into a grain store. "Little Zhuzi, you can't buy grain even if you travel thousands of miles.
Don't tell me you want to sell grain to Baozhou."
"How is that possible? I have something to do." Shen Lingzhu pointed at the sign of the grain store and asked his elder brother to take a closer look.
"Wang family?" Shen Xianzhu finally noticed. "No, why did you go to his grain store?"
Shen Lingzhu pointed at the people in the distance and said, "Send them home."
Shen Xianzhu was dumbfounded: "We were also being followed? Is the retribution coming so timely?"
……
Later, Master Wang Er, who had received the news, couldn't help but wonder, "Why is it that every time we follow them, we always get discovered and caught red-handed?"
After sighing, he asked his confidant: "Have they left?"
"Yes, he left after saying, 'Don't follow me anymore.'"
"Did you find out how they got into the city and where they lived?"
“Yes, they entered the city with Zhang Tongzhi’s nephew, Zhang Zongqi.
At that time…” The confidant reported everything he found out.
After hearing this, Master Wang Er said, "What a mistake! We shouldn't have sent anyone to follow us.
Come on, take the gifts, and I will personally come to apologize."
The confidant asked what was in his mind: "Second Master, have you been waiting for this excuse to come here for a long time?"
Master Wang didn't hide anything from his confidant, "Ahem, it's so rare for someone to be taken care of by Zhang Tongzhi, I can't miss it.
Alas, the batch of goods that the second master traded last time is still in his hands.
If the Shen family's child can say a few words and be released, it will be more effective than my sending gold."
The confidant said, "Second Master, that batch of goods entered the border illegally. If we claim them now, wouldn't we be incriminating ourselves?"
"You don't understand. You are going to confess without being asked." The reason why Mr. Wang was called back by his father this time was because of the batch of smuggled furs.
Seeing that many civil and military officials have been taken away in the past two days, my father is worried that someone will use the seized goods to implicate the Wang family.
So he was asked to return to the provincial capital and try his best to meet with Zhang Tongzhi to prove that he was the only one in the Wang family who was cheated in this smuggling business, and that the rest of the grain business was law-abiding.
"Go and arrange it." Mr. Wang Erye used all his connections, but he was not familiar with Zhang Tongzhi, who had just been transferred there for a short time.
My father intended to use this matter to train himself and not give him the biggest connection.
When he was about to find Shen Lingzhu, the latter was treating his uncle to sauerkraut noodles at a noodle restaurant.
It was past mealtime and Huang Zongqi was really hungry. He had already finished three bowls of noodles and was starting the fourth bowl.
"Uncle, don't just eat noodles, there's beef too.
I specifically heard about this old restaurant because of its excellent dishes. "Bingzhou is close to the grasslands outside the Great Wall, and there are beef cattle for sale.
Shen Lingzhu felt particularly embarrassed when she thought about how she had forgotten that her uncle had not had breakfast and had been following him until the afternoon.
"Wow, it feels so good. When it's cold and I'm extremely hungry, having a bowl of hot noodles is better than any meat." Huang Zongqi ate until he was 70% full before slowing down.
He said, "Look at my appetite. I'm afraid it's not easy to support myself by doing odd jobs outside."
"Uncle Huang, people who do odd jobs won't eat out." Shen Xianzhu really wanted to know what the result would be.
He winked at his sister, and Shen Lingzhu smiled and said, "Uncle, how can it be the same? People who are capable should eat good food."
"You girl, you really..." Huang Zongqi hadn't finished speaking when Da Huai knocked on the door of the private room: "Brother Qi, Xiao Zhuzi, are you in there?"
"Yes, Uncle Dahuai, come in quickly." Shen Lingzhu ran to open the door.
Da Huai came in and said, "Zhang Xiaobing is here to see you again. Not long after, Wang Erye came too."
