Chapter 37 A sudden turn of events
With a bang, a door was slammed open. Zhao Yushu floated in and slapped a man holding a long knife hiding behind the door. The man felt a black screen before his eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.
The other man only saw the door suddenly open, then a dark shadow passed by, and his companion fell to the ground.
When he reacted again, a man in black was standing in front of him.
The man stepped back subconsciously, but found that his wrist was grabbed.
There was a crisp sound, and the man knelt on the ground with a scream.
Zhao Yushu smiled slightly: "Come on, tell me who you are."
On the threshing floor, Zhou Zhun stared into Wang Dazhuang's eyes: "Two"
Da Zhuang's wife wanted to grab Zhou Zhun's knife, but she was afraid of hurting her son, so she shouted, "Boss!"
Da Zhuang closed his eyes with difficulty, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed in a direction
A man kneeling on the ground straightened his body, and then turned over and ran away. His speed was really fast.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhun was faster. He pierced his shoulder blade with a horizontal sword and nailed the screaming man to a big tree. Zhou Zhun held the hilt of the sword and looked back sinisterly: "You are so brave to protect the imperial criminals!"
The village chief knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please have mercy! We are all tenants of the Shen family, we dare not disobey you!"
Zhou Zhun frowned: "Shen family?"
The man who was restrained by Zhao Yushu did not beg for mercy. Instead, he raised his head with sweat on his forehead and looked at Zhao Yushu with gritted teeth: "No matter who you are, you have offended our Shen family today, and you are in big trouble."
Zhao Yushu was stunned: "Shen family?"
In the village chief's house, Zhao Yushu and Zhou Zhun sat side by side, with two injured men kneeling on the ground. Although they had been simply bandaged, the man whose shoulder was pierced by Zhou Zhun's sword still looked pale.
Zhao Yushu coughed twice: "Why are you hiding from us?"
No one pays attention to him
"Sir, I'm asking you a question. Do you know that we are arresting a wanted criminal of the imperial court?"
Zhou Zhun is an official after all, no matter if he is right or wrong, just scare him first.
"Humph, Dongdu Prefecture is so great, a dog is barking here too."
Zhou Zhun drew his sword and was about to strike again, but Zhao Yushu hurriedly stopped him: "You said you were from the Shen family, but which Shen family is the Huibao Merchants?"
"Nonsense, there is another Shen family in Dongdu?"
Zhao Yushu thought to himself that if I were to argue with you, I could find a hundred people with the surname Shen in a day, but I won’t bother with you. But this is strange, why would the people of the Shen family keep a base in this broken place, and why would the people of the Shen family kidnap people from the Shen family?
At this moment, Zhao Yushu's mind flashed through countless melodramas he had seen in his previous life. Fighting for property? Fighting within the same family? Brothers fighting each other? Was this a trivial matter worthy of the Tianji Pavilion boss's intervention?
“I have to go back to the academy.”
Zhao Yushu stood up and was about to leave
"Hey, hey, hey, sir, what about me?"
"Stay here and watch over them. Wait for your reinforcements to arrive and then try to find out why the Shen family planted these secret agents here."
"But they are from the Shen family."
"Then throw it to the detective. He will definitely be interested in this matter."
Zhao Yushu said this and got on his horse.
"Sir, if there is any result, how can I find you?"
"No need, I'll go ask the detective myself!"
Zhao Yushu galloped on his horse, feeling that there were some things he hadn't figured out, and there were some things he needed help with.
Back at the academy, Lao Zhao didn't know how to find the big guys in Tianji Pavilion, but Lao Liu, the all-purpose guy, was easy to find.
As if he had expected him to come, Lao Liu pointed out a clear way: go to Tianxianglou
Old Zhao was stunned. Are all the people in the academy so direct? Don’t they try to cover it up a bit?
Standing at the foot of Tianxiang Tower, Lao Zhao felt that he had fallen a little. It had only been a week since he came here, and he had been to Tianxiang Tower more often than to the Book House.
The annoying thing is that I spend money every time I come here, but I don’t get any bargain at all!
Zhao Yushu walked into Tianxiang Tower under the meaningful gaze of the gatekeeper, and was then taken to a small room on the second floor by Liu Ma, who was smiling like a flower. Of course, it was not Yun Gu's room.
"I have been claiming to be ill and not seeing visitors these days, so it is not convenient to bring you directly to my place. This is Rulan's old residence, and no newcomers have moved in yet, so it is temporarily used."
Yun Gu sat at the table, which was already filled with a few side dishes.
"Sister Yun knows I'm coming?"
"Si Gentleman greeted me, and I have been waiting. Should I call you Young Master Zhao or Young Master?"
"Little Mr. is too unpleasant to hear. Sister Yun, just call me Xiao Zhao."
Yun Gu smiled and said, "Since Master Zhao is here, I think he has something to ask you."
Zhao Yushu sat down and drank a glass of wine: "Who is the kidnapped person?"
"The only son of Mr. Shen, the big merchant of Huibao"
Oh, damn, even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Yushu was still shocked. My goodness, if this happened in his previous life, it would be the two Ma and Lao Wang together, and then there would be a stupid son.
No wonder you didn't want my two cents
But you, a second-generation rich man with a psychopath, have to pretend to be an ordinary person and drink tea that costs only one cent. Wouldn't it be better if your bodyguards flew you back early?
"The only son, that's interesting." Old Zhao overturned his guess in the village. If it wasn't a quarrel between brothers, then someone wanted the money of the Shen family. However, if they could kidnap the man to the Shen family's own secret sentry, no one would believe that there was no traitor.
Seeing Yun Gu's puzzled look, Zhao Yushu told her everything he had seen and heard that day without reservation. Since Meng Yan and Liu Jijiu asked him to believe Yun Gu, he had no reason not to believe Yun Gu.
"Young Master is truly amazing. He has surpassed everyone else in one day."
"Everyone?" It seems like it's not just the detective.
"The detective should be the closest. The tuberculosis ghost underground is commanding his rats to run around in the sewers. The reckless man named Zhang is now like a headless fly. As for your master, I suspect he already knows the result."
Lao Zhao was a little confused: "Then what did he ask me to check?"
Yun Gu shook her head: "This is not something I can guess."
Now it was Lao Zhao's turn to scratch his head: "Sister Yun, what should we do next? I don't have any clues."
Yun Gu poured herself a glass of wine and said, "Since the master asked you to investigate, he must believe that you can investigate it."
Lao Zhao was a little speechless. You big guys, why do you have to go around in circles in everything? You do things in a roundabout way and you also talk in a roundabout way.
Okay, so that's how we play, right? Then I'll let you see how things are played in modern society.
Zhao Yushu moved his butt to make himself more comfortable. "May I ask Sister Yun, can you tell me which forces in the entire Dongdu Prefecture dare to move, or can move Master Shen?"
Yun Gu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and clapped her hands.
The door opened and a girl in red and black clothes walked in.
"This is one of my personal maids, named Mo'er. Mo'er, from today on, you belong to Mr. Zhao."
Moer blinked, clasped his hands together and bowed to Lao Zhao, then stood behind Lao Zhao without saying a word.
Lao Zhao was so scared, what do you mean, she is mine? I have never been in a relationship before, and online dating is not that fast.
"Although Mo'er's cultivation is not high, only the fifth level of the outer scene, when necessary, as long as the inner scene does not take action, she can always save the young master's life. As for what the young master said, who can move Mr. Shen?"
Yun Gu paused and said: "If you don't care about the consequences, Dongdu Mansion, Tianxiang Tower, Xiangjiang Temple, and Ghost Town are all qualified."
"Of course, there is also the Academy and the Imperial City."
The Imperial City? That's Prince Fu's Palace.
