Chapter 36 The Lost Secret Letter

Thinking of this, Huang Degong's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He turned around and went to the desk drawer to look for the letter.

But after searching through the drawer, I couldn't find the letter.

Huang Degong had a trace of fantasy in his heart. He went crazy and searched through the entire study, but found nothing.

"Come." Huang Degong roared.

A man who looked like a servant came in and replied, "What are the instructions of sir?"

"Send someone immediately to arrest Sun Mingzhen and recover all his objects, and do not dismantle them privately. If you encounter resistance, kill them on the spot." Huang Degong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he did not lose his calmness. "Don't use the yamen constable, and don't let the head of the captain Li know. You should bring a few confidants to do this matter, and don't make it public."

"yes."

....

Wu Zheng walked out of the Chen Mansion gate.

Erhan asked, "Young Master, aren't you going to Huang Boyan's house anymore?"

Wu Zheng's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "Huang Boyan can't run away. What I worry about is that if Chen Bingshen's words are true, the consequences will be serious."

"It's not that Chen Bingshen deliberately exaggerated to survive, right?"

"I don't think so. If I find him lied to me, the Chen family will have to pay a greater price. If you can run away, the monk can't run away, and Chen Bingshen is not stupid."

"Then let's go back to Kuaiji to report Huang Degong?"

Wu Zheng patted Erhan's head and said angrily: "Where is the evidence? Tell Lu Jianguo that this is what we heard. When we hear the news, it is the matter of the censor."

Erhan giggled and touched the back of his head.

Wu Zheng was awakened by what he said. Maybe he should talk about this with Zhang Huangyan. He is a censor and may be really useful.

But after all, it was empty talk. Before I took office, I accused a current parent official. If this was a real thing, it would be fine. If it was wrong, it would be unforgettable.

"I don't have the heart to pay attention to anything else now. You go and pick up Chen Sheng and go back to Wuzhuang first."

"Yes. But Master, are you waiting for the people by the sea?"

Only then did Wu Zheng remember that there was still some serious matter to do today.

Look at the sky, it is noon.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then you can go to the county government to pick up Chen Sheng first. In addition, you can send someone back to Wuzhuang to send a message, asking Xiao Anzi to come to Shining Street to recruit craftsmen who build houses. The more you have, the better, and then let him take someone to meet us."

"yes."

....

Wu Zheng and his group had just entered Shining Street, two or three miles away from the Yamen, and they met Chen Sheng head-on.

"Sir, are you here?"

"How is it done?"

"The county magistrate did not refuse. He got the land certificate. The grain was already arranged for transportation, but it must be transported today. The subordinates agreed to let them deliver it to Wuzhuang within three days." As he said that, Chen Sheng handed a stack of contracts to Wu Zheng.

"Yes." Wu Zheng took it, and roughly turned over a few pages, and thought there would be no mistakes, so he put it in his arms.

"It will take a while for Xiao Anzi to come. Taking advantage of this time, Erhan, you and Chen Sheng will take these people to the street and shout, promising to recruit some craftsmen with double wages."

"yes."

Erhan and Chen Sheng each led a team, one heading south and the other heading north, without taking a few steps.

Suddenly, a man ran over from the yamen.

Behind him, several people dressed in a man were chasing him.

Behind the officers, there were several constables who were also chasing him. Wu Zheng had just met the leader in Chen's house, and he was the captain Li Ruhai.

Maybe it was to arrest the thief. Wu Zheng slowly flicked aside. Such trivial matters were not his power.

But Wu Zheng had no choice but to avoid it. When the middle-aged man passing by Wu Zheng, he suddenly turned around, knelt in front of Wu Zheng, hugged Wu Zheng's legs and said, "Sir, help me!"

Wu Zheng was a little annoyed and avoided things, but the matter came to him.

He glanced at the middle-aged man with disgust. The man's goatee beard three inches under his jaw made Wu Zheng feel disgusted.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, the villain hasn't committed any trouble?"

"Nothing happened, constable chases you?"

"Sir, the villain is the aide of the Magistrate Huang."

As soon as these words were finished, the soap service officers had already arrived in front of Wu Zheng.

"Dare you ask me, sir?"

Wu Zheng replied angrily: "My name is Wu Zheng, what's the matter?"

The leading officer looked at Wu Zheng and said, "This man stole the private property of Huang County Magistrate Huang, and the young man and others were ordered to capture him. I hope the elders can make it convenient."

Wu Zheng looked down at the middle-aged man and asked, "What they said is true?"

"……yes."

Wu Zheng shook his legs, pulled out one foot, and cursed: "Since you steal, you have to be punished, get out of here."

The leading officer bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord."

He turned around and said, "Will you take him back to the yamen?"

Several officers stepped forward and pulled the middle-aged man.

But the middle-aged man held Wu Zheng's legs hard and kept his feet deadlocked for a while.

Li Ruhai came with people. He happened to be at the yamen and saw Master Sun being chased by a servant from the inner yamen.

Out of curiosity, I brought a few constables to catch up with me.

When he arrived in front of Wu Zheng, Li Ruhai just started to take action and didn't even say hello, even if he had seen the courtesy.

He looked down at Sun Mingzhen and said, "Sir Sun, what are you doing? Why did the inner yamen officers chase you? What did you do?"

Sun Mingzhen didn't answer Li Ruhai, but just hugged Wu Zheng with one foot.

The leading officer said: "Captain Li, you don't have to worry about this matter. Sun Mingzhen stole the private property in the county magistrate's study room. The county magistrate asked us to arrest Sun Mingzhen and go back."

Li Ruhai looked at Sun Mingzhen, then the leading officer, stopped talking, and took the people to retreat aside.

The leading officer scolded at the officers: "I haven't had lunch at noon, why don't you pull the person away?"

So several servants rushed up and pulled Sun Mingzhen up.

Seeing that he could not escape, Sun Mingzhen shouted at Wu Zheng urgently: "Help, help me, the villain did not steal money, just took a letter."

Wu Zheng was muttering in his heart that Huang Degong's master stole the private property of Huang Degong's study, which reminded him of Chen Bingshen's accusation against Huang Degong.

However, the person in front of him was Huang Degong's aide after all, and Wu Zheng could not win the trust of him. In addition, Wu Zheng had a three-inch goatee beard and a detestable face with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek. The first thing he felt was bad, so he didn't ask.

But now, Wu Zheng was shocked when he heard Sun Mingzhen say a letter.

"Wait." Wu Zheng shouted.

When he heard Wu Zheng speak out and knew that Wu Zheng was going to take care of the matter, Erhan and Chen Sheng walked back one after another.

The leading officer changed his face, but he still bowed politely: "Sir, this is my adult's private matter. I hope you can do it for a convenience and don't interfere."

Wu Zheng replied: "What's the hurry? I just have something to ask him?"

The leading officer said in a deep voice: "Sir, this is a little embarrassment."
