Chapter 164
When the carriage returns to the mansion, Su Shi, Qi Hongyu and Lei San are all there in front of the mansion gate.

Zhao Tun coughed in the carriage, Huang Gu opened the curtain, and the three hurried over to help.

Zhao Tun leaned out of the car, shook his head and said, "It's not that he's too sick to move, so we should go to the side and stay there."

He got out of the car by himself, but coughed a few more times, covered his mouth with a snow-white silk scarf, and a sickly blush appeared on his face.

Then he went into the mansion, and after eating, he just rested, and ordered to go down, if there was no serious matter, no one inside or outside would be seen.

Su Shi led the guards to protect the surroundings of the bedroom, Zhao Tun went to bed and put a curtain over his head to sleep, and this time he slept until midnight.

After waking up, his head was a little swollen, Zhao Tun drank a cup of herbal tea on the table, feeling refreshed, and immediately woke up.

He walked out of the room, it was already September, the cold moon outside was like a knife, and the night wind was cold, he called Su Shi and asked, "Is anyone here?"

Su Shi said: "Both the government and the empress sent people to send things. I want to come to invite the prince, but the two eunuchs said no, put down the things and left. Tong Shumi also sent people to send things. Tan Zhen brought things over, yes Yes, Chen Chuixiang, Minister of Dali Temple, came here and didn't leave until dusk."

Zhao Tun thought for a while, "Is anyone from the Cai family here?"

Su Shi said: "But no one came. This month, Cai's family is making a lot of noise. Everyone in Tokyo knows that there is a lot of restlessness."

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "What's the matter?"

Su Shi said: "It's not that Mr. Cai and Taishi Cai, they almost pointed their noses at each other and scolded each other when they heard that they were in court."

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "My husband is almost 80 years old, how can he be a match for the eldest son."

Su Shi smiled and said: "What the prince said is that the fist is afraid of the young, and the curse is the same."

Zhao Tong said, "Didn't Cai Tao help?"

Su Shi said: "The Fourth Young Master Cai doesn't help, but he is not an opponent of the First Young Master Cai. I heard that the First Young Master is very brave. After the court, he went to make trouble at home again. No one in the house dares to stop him."

Zhao Tong said: "I haven't talked about this matter. When the official family lived in the mansion, they met with the eldest son. All kinds of poetry gatherings, banquets, and music and music women's crowns were all from the yamen of the past, Zhang Dun's grandson, Zeng Bu's Son, Zhao Tingzhi's son...Nowadays, alas, the only one the official family sees is Mr. Cai, and it's even more difficult to say anything."

Su Shi said yes, but he couldn't answer such words, so he could only say: "My lord, do you want to get some food from below?"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Don't eat, call a group of people to go with me to Suiyulou."

Su Shi took the order, summoned a team of guards, and then led the Zhaoye Jade Lion, and the group went straight to Suiyulou.

Suiyulou is naturally closed at the moment, but there are at least two people on duty in the lobby every night. After knocking on the door of the building, looking for a room, Zhao Tuo called Huang Gu, Ouyang Bei, Ding Daxie, and Ding Erxie. .

Later, he felt that someone was missing, so he asked Su Shi's leader to drag Zhu Xiaoyi over. Zhu Xiaoyi is now entrenched in the southeast of the inner city with dirty clothes, and even temporarily took over Hong Qi's subordinates. The clothing gang has become the biggest force worthy of the name, but the dirty clothes gang has no gang leader, and the elders are in charge.

As soon as Zhu Xiaoyi came in, he prostrated himself on the ground, with an aggrieved expression, and almost burst into tears. Zhao Tang frowned and looked at him: "Why do you care about acting like a little girl?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "My lord hasn't called for a long time, Xiao Yi is afraid that my lord has forgotten, I feel so sad that I can't sleep at night, now I see you again, I am so excited that I can't control it."

Zhao Tang felt a chill when he heard the words, and said with a cold face: "Ouyang Bei came back today, have you met before?"

Zhu Xiaoyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and Ouyang Bei quickly called Qu and said, "My lord, this subordinate is exhausted from this trip. Where is the time to see these birds? I just can't get enough rest."

Ding Erxie laughed softly beside him: "After dinner, I don't know what to do outside, I don't look tired at all, I'm as lively as a monkey playing on the bridge!"

Ouyang Bei shut his mouth immediately and didn't speak, just stared at Zhu Xiaoyi with his eyes.

Zhao Tun coughed, and said: "I came here just to think of something. You guys have already experienced this, so I called you over and gave an order to do it."

Huang Gu said: "My lord, is this a matter of Yanggu County?"

Zhao Tong nodded. The Ding brothers and Zhu Xiaoyi didn't follow to Yanggu, so Huang Gu told the story of what happened in Yanggu County and the meeting with the prison car today.

The brothers of the Ding family and Zhu Xiaoyi were stunned for a long time after hearing this, Ding Daxie said: "Master, this..."

Zhao Tong said: "Ximen Qing, who runs a herbal medicine store in Yanggu County, is one of the three people I met when I went down to Ghost Fan Tower for the first time."

Zhu Xiaoyi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Is he the one who fought with the prince for the little lady of the Liu family?"

Zhao Tong said: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did this king compete with others for my little lady? How could this king bother to do such things? Hui Niang was supposed to sneak into the ghost fan building to clean up the house...Zhu Xiaoyi, this king sees that you are getting more and more serious now. Outspoken!"

Zhu Xiaoyi immediately shrank his neck when he heard the words, slapped himself twice from left to right, and said flatly: "My lord, if you say something wrong, please punish me."

Zhao Tun snorted coldly: "It's best to talk lying down!"

Zhu Xiaoyi lay on the ground, not daring to look up, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I know."

Zhao Tang said: "It's actually not that difficult. If I want to excuse Yanggu county magistrate, I just need to go to the official's house and prove that Ximen Qing once went down to the ghost fan tower and is a green forest bandit. It's just that there must be some Hook up, otherwise how would I know that Ximen Qing was the one who went down to the Ghost Fan Tower?"

Ding Daxie said: "Wang Ye means to find the other two?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's best to find, especially that fat black guy. You have all seen him before. He is a native of Tokyo, so it won't be hard to find."

Ouyang Beidao: "At that time, my subordinates observed that person. He was not an ordinary merchant in the market, and he was not like a Jianghu person who licked blood at the edge of a knife. He had the air of a mansion, like a steward of a mansion."

Zhao Tong nodded and said with a smile: "Ouyang Bei, you have always had a good eye, seeing people is far more poisonous than words."

Ouyang Bei said embarrassingly: "Master, you praise..."

Zhao Tong said: "I checked the date, and it should be Cai Jing's birthday a few days after I met Ximen Qing, and Ximen Qing came to Tokyo this time to give Cai Jing a birthday gift, and then he worshiped his godfather and got an official position, so that person is very It may be someone from the Cai Mansion."

Ding Daxie thought about it: "If it's someone in charge of Cai's mansion, it would be easier to investigate."

Huang Gu shook his head and said: "There are at least dozens of stewards in Cai Jing's mansion, and there are even more helpers and Gus. What's more, he has two sons who open mansions outside, and the mansions of these two sons will also be investigated."

Zhao Tong said: "In the past few days, I have checked this person, but the other book boy is not easy to search. After all, many irrelevant people were dismissed when I was in Yanggu, and this book boy is also on the list. It's too late, I can't take care of the magistrate of Yanggu County over there for too long, I have to come up with an explanation if the officials intervene."

Zhu Xiaoyi lay on the ground and said: "My lord, I have a lot of subordinates, so I will find out the clues first."
