Chapter 169 Homecoming

   Knowing that the second master's tongue was cut off, it was Zhao Er's wife who was sad. The fat woman held a handkerchief and cried and begged the doctor to save her husband.

  The doctor was sweating profusely before bandaging the wound to stop the bleeding. As for what the lady said, half of her tongue was missing, and even the gods of Da Luo would be useless.

  The fat woman asked Liu Quan angrily, "Who hurt the second master?"

  Liu Quan naturally did not dare to confess to the uncle, so he found an excuse that a thief had sneaked in.

  The fat lady was dull-hearted, and she never doubted it after listening to it, she just cried noisily and said that she would report to the authorities.

  Liu Quan couldn't stop her, and the second lady moved out of her original family to settle down to talk about the matter. Liu Quan didn't dare to make a decision on his own after hearing that, so he went to talk to the uncle about it.

  As a result, as soon as he reached the front yard, he saw more than a dozen police officers coming in from the door, followed by the police chief Meng Jun and a middle-aged man in a blue robe.

  Liu Quan knew without thinking that the middle-aged man in the blue robe must be Lord Yantie Inspector Sun, but he pretended not to know him, looked at Meng Jun and asked, "Catcher Meng, what are you?"

Holding the saber in his hand, Meng Jun said to him with a serious face: "The person next to me is Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie. I am here today to inquire about the matter of Zhao Er's involvement in the official salt of your mansion. I also ask the guard Liu to inform the head of the house. Come out and talk."

Liu Quan saw a small policeman putting on airs in front of him, and he was not in a good mood today, and his tone of voice was a bit offensive: "My uncle escorted the nobleman to Beijing Miansheng, and he just returned home this morning. He was resting after a long journey. You two can wait here, or come back at noon."

  Meng Jun heard that he was using Zhao Shen to oppress him, looked at him coldly, and said indifferently: "How can I allow you to shirk and perfunctory here when the official is doing business, or can you be the head of the Zhao family?"

After visiting Mr. Sun yesterday, King Jing told him about the infighting in the capital. It looked peaceful on the surface, but in fact, since the emperor sent the national teacher out of the capital, the reputation of the people was not very good, and the Rong family had long been dissatisfied. The king of Beiyang married the general's daughter to expand his power. Although the emperor was dissatisfied, the two sides were evenly matched, so naturally he could not act rashly.

  It is the empress dowager's intention for the county magistrate's daughter to enter the palace.

  Furthermore, Zhao Shen is just a subordinate of the county magistrate, and even the county magistrate cannot cover the sky with one hand.

  Master Sun looked at Liu Quan displeased. He ran around yesterday, and went to the Yamen to find out the situation early this morning. He was already a little impatient, so he raised his hand and waved: "What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and call someone."

  Liu Quan was speechless, as a guard, he naturally didn't dare to be the master, so he left a sentence: "You two wait a moment." Then he ran to report in desperation.

  Meng Jun saw that Master Sun lightly hammered his back and swept to a wooden stool next to the flower bed in the west yard, so he gave his men a wink and told him to move the stool over.

   His subordinates ran over and quickly brought it over.

  Meng Jun put a stool behind Mr. Sun, and Mr. Sun blew his beard and stared at him and said, "You young man, the old man is not sick and disabled. Besides, what does it look like to sit at the gate of someone's house? If people see it, they will think I am playing an official role."

  Meng Jun choked, and he didn't know who was moaning on the road, his legs hurt and his back hurt, and he asked to buy thicker cushions halfway.

At this time, a chubby woman in a golden robe came from the backyard, she saw the officer's eyes lit up, and hurried forward and said: "You guys come to my Zhao family, are you here to help investigate my husband's injury? "

  Meng Jun recognized her and knew that she was Zhao Er's wife. Hearing that Zhao Er was injured, he frowned and asked, "What injury did you suffer?"

When the second lady heard his inquiry, she thought they were here to inquire about the matter, so she cried and told the truth, "Just now my husband was cut off by a gangster. The doctor said that he lost too much blood and his life would be hard to save. I have pity on whoever my husband provokes." Now, the old wound on the body is just right, and this has added a new wound, you must quickly catch the murderer and punish him severely."

  Meng Jun frowned when he heard that, he sent a secret sentry around here to watch last night, no one should have broken in, otherwise someone would have notified him long ago.

  Meng Jun was about to ask who had contacted Zhao Er, when a hearty male voice came from the opposite side.

   "It's Zhao Shen's fault that Mr. Sun's visit is unwelcome. Please don't worry about it."

   Zhao Shen, who walked over, changed into a dark red brocade robe, with black hair and a vertical crown. He should have been washed and groomed, followed by Liu Quan, who had bowed his head and had been scolded.

  Master Sun saw that it was Zhao Shen, frowned slightly between his brows, and said casually, "So it's Mr. Zhao's mansion."

   If he remembers correctly, this Mr. Zhao is the right-hand man of the county magistrate, and he can always be seen by the magistrate's side every time.

  Since working next to the county magistrate, he dared to get involved in the official salt case.

   Zhao Shen saw that Mr. Sun still remembered him, with a polite smile on his face, he clasped his fists and said: "It is Zhao Shen's honor that Mr. Sun can still remember Zhao Shen in the lower mansion."

   As he spoke, Zhao Shen took another look at his crying siblings, and said softly, "Siblings, elder brother has something important to talk to, so go back and take care of the second."

  The second lady originally wanted to inquire about her husband, but when she saw her elder brother's eyes were dark and his face was not smiling, she felt a little scared, so she hurriedly leaned over and replied in a weak voice: "Yes."

After they left, Zhao Shen's face changed into a smile again, looked at Mrs. Sun and Meng Jun and explained: "Something happened in the family this morning, and my brothers and sisters are pure and kind by nature. If there are any inappropriate words just now, please tell me Forgive me, but it’s actually just some housework.”

  Meng Jun glanced at him, he was the only one who talked to the second wife just now, and it was clearly with him.

  Master Sun couldn't stand anymore, his waist was sore and his back was tired. Hearing his rambling, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not interested in your housework. I have something important to ask today."

  Zhao Shen looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "The two please follow me to the hall, I have ordered people to prepare tea, let's chat while drinking tea."

   A group of people walked into the hall,

   As soon as Meng Jun and Master Sun took their seats, a servant girl brought refreshments.

   "Master Sun came to the house for the first time, and he didn't have time to prepare a banquet. Please forgive me for the inappropriate reception." Zhao Shen said complimentingly.

  Master Sun glanced at him, he clearly knew what they were here for, and he was able to gossip here so calmly. Sure enough, the people around the county magistrate were not ordinary people.

He cleared his throat and said, "It's not that I came here to visit relatives and friends. I don't have to forgive you. This old man doesn't like to beat around the bush. I came here today mainly for official affairs. Before coming to your mansion, I also went to the yamen to learn something. situation, there are still some things to ask the parties.”

   As he spoke, Lord Sun glanced around, "Is Zhao Er here?"
