On the other side, Chen Shoubei was communicating with the chief soldier of the city guard in the main hall.
"Brother Zhao, as long as you can help me catch those boys who settled in Yuan's Tavern and find my son's wife, how about I be the first to arrange the weapons you were interested in to guard the city for you? ?”
Hearing that Chen Shoubei was finally willing to let go, General Zhao did not feel happy. He just felt that the sun was rising from the west.
After all, Chen Shoubei knew how arrogant Chen Shoubei was. Not to mention them before, even if Yasha, a gathering of elites, wanted weapons, he would not give them to him unless they could exchange them with him for money.
So when he saw that Chen Shoubei was suddenly so generous and polite to him for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he didn't think that Chen Shoubei had suddenly changed his temper. On the contrary, at the moment, he just felt that Chen Shoubei might not be hiding some woman behind his back.
Therefore, General Zhao only smiled and said, "Why are you so polite, sir? Since these people kidnapped your daughter-in-law, we should naturally take the initiative to arrest them."
After saying the happy words, General Zhao said awkwardly, "But this kind of arrest operation does not have an order from above, so it is not easy for us to take action rashly."
Then he just said to Chen Shoubei in a confident tone, "How about this? I will go to the county magistrate immediately to request for transfer. After getting the token, we will go to find your Majesty as soon as possible." Daughter-in-law, and catch all the thieves who intend to abduct your daughter-in-law."
Hearing General Zhao's words, Chen Shoubei couldn't help but scolded him as an old fox in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Why did Mr. Zhao alarm the county magistrate over such a trivial matter? Those who know this only know that you are cautious, but those who don't know only think that you have no courage at all. You don't dare to make the decision on such a trivial matter." Chen Shoubei said clearly. He said with a hint of praise and disdain.
General Zhao immediately retorted, but after a moment he realized that Chen didn't hold his shit in and was just deliberately irritating him.
Therefore, he just suppressed his nausea and said, "Thank you, Lord Guard. How can I be cautious as a big boss? I don't dare because I am afraid that people will sell it to me. I have to give money to others. I am a big boss, how can I do it?" I can play more twists and turns than you."
"If your lord wants us to send troops, we will do our best, but we still have to go through the procedures. If the guard doesn't want to go through this procedure, then I can only ask the guard to catch those thieves."
Hearing that General Zhao was not fooled by him at all, Chen Shoubei felt secretly resentful, and then he could only reveal a few of his trump cards.
"Master Zhao, this is my family's scandal, and I don't want to cause too much embarrassment. If you let him go to court, then where will my face be? And the person involved with my daughter-in-law is a patrolman from Anxi Prefecture. Prosecutor, we suffer from this kind of thing."
"Mr. Zhao, how about this? All the weapons from last time will be yours. In addition, I will also prepare the best horses for you."
After saying this, before General Zhao could speak, Chen Shoubei just said to his housekeeper, "Steward Zhou, quickly bring up the thank you gift I prepared for Mr. Zhao."
After hearing Chen Shoubei's words, the steward quickly left.
Zhao Zongbing obviously didn't know what Chen Shoubei was talking about as a thank you gift. He just kept saying, "Master Guards, you are just trying to trick me. You dare to arrest the inspector of Anxi Prefecture, so you are not afraid." The inspector will go back to Anxi and file a complaint against you and me."
Then he seemed to have come to his senses and said, "Oh, that's right. How could you be implicated in this matter? There is someone above you, an inspector. You don't take it to heart yet, but Chen Shoubei, have you ever thought about me?" In this situation, aren’t you trying to trick me?”
Chen Shoubei was not in a hurry to refute. He just let the man chatter. After he finished speaking, Chen Shoubei said, "My daughter-in-law was indeed abducted by them. My son has been looking for her today. You asked Searching people is reasonable, not to mention that since I can protect myself, I can definitely protect you."
As he finished speaking, the housekeeper soon came over dragging a red wooden tray.
I don't know what was placed on the tray, but it was covered with a layer of yellow silk.
And as the silk was unveiled, the tray full of gold ingots was also displayed in front of General Zhao.
.
General Zhao's monthly salary was only a meager salary, but now he was dumbfounded when he saw this plate of gold.
This was the first time he saw gold.
"Master Zhao, are you satisfied with what you see?" Chen Shoubei's tone was a bit calculating and cunning?
However, Mr. Zhao was obviously shocked by the wealth in front of him. He didn't know whether it was because of shock or surprise. At this time, he couldn't even speak. "This... is this for me?"
"Yes! Are you satisfied with what you see?" Chen Shoubei asked again.
Mr. Zhao took a deep breath, and then regained his senses. "My lord, you never do business at a loss. If you give me these, you don't want me to die, right?"
"How can you say that you are going to die? Mr. Zhao, you should know that if you stick to that little salary, you may not be able to accumulate anything in your life. Your mother is in poor health and needs three taels of medicine every month. The children are also eager to be fed. I am giving adults an opportunity to make money. You have to say what will happen, and there are risks. But if it can improve the living conditions of the family, it doesn't matter if you take risks."
"Master Zhao, I just want to take you to make a fortune. Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to. This pallet of gold is still yours. But adults must also think clearly that time does not wait for us, and you will not miss the opportunity." Come back again."
After hearing Chen Shoubei's words, General Zhao obviously thought about it for a long time, but his eyes did not leave the tray.
After a long time, I heard him suddenly say, "Okay! I promise you!"
After saying this, Mr. Zhao said, "Keep the gold for me. Once the matter is done, I will come to you. As for making money, as long as you need it, just call me."
Hearing that General Zhao finally walked according to his own ideas, Chen Shoubei immediately laughed with joy.
"General Zhao is happy. Don't worry, General. If anything good happens in the future, I will never forget you, brother."
But General Zhao didn't answer Chen Shoubei's words. He strode out. Then he ordered a dozen soldiers who were guarding the city and headed towards Yuan's Tavern.
When they arrived at Yuan's Tavern, the pub had just closed.
The guard had just blown out the candle and was about to take a nap on the table before getting up again.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time there was a man's impatient urging voice, "Hurry up and open the door!"
Hearing such a rough knock on the door, the waiter's little sleepiness was suddenly awakened by the rough voice. It was probably not a night guest with such a rough behavior, but probably a bandit, so At that moment, he only immediately pulled up a long bench with vigilance, and then he stood at the door and said, "Who is it!"
"Guards of the city!"
Upon hearing the answer outside the door, the man was obviously frightened. He just didn't understand how his small business could offend the city guards.
But even though he was scared, the waiter immediately put down the bench in his hand, and then he only said cautiously, "Master, wait a minute!"
As soon as the words fell, the waiter immediately opened the door of the tavern with his hands and feet.
As the door was opened, the man quickly saw the dozen or so guards guarding the city.
They held torches, and the bright firelight only illuminated the originally dark lobby.
Therefore, the waiter did not bother to light the torch at the moment. He only cooperated and said, "The officials are here late at night, but what's the matter?"
General Zhao only said coldly, "You have a group of fugitives hiding here! I'm here to catch them!"
Upon hearing General Zhao's words, the waiter was immediately surprised and said, "This... is this impossible, sir? All the guests in the shop are registered with the road guide."
General Zhao said coldly, "These people naturally have their own way. What they committed is temporary. Just lead us there cooperatively. You don't need to ask any other nonsense."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately whispered, "Who are you looking for?"
General Zhao immediately said, "Do you have a resident named Shen Yiqiu here?"
Hearing General Zhao's words, the guy was shocked again, "Sir,
The fugitive mentioned is not Mr. Shen, right? "
General Zhao sneered, "That's him! He and his accomplices committed a crime! Take me there quickly!"
After hearing General Zhao's words, the guy didn't understand how the good Inspector Anxi could become a fugitive.
But this is beyond the control of a small citizen like him.
All he could do was cooperate with the instructions of these adults, so he quickly took out the register at the counter, and then told Mr. Zhao the room numbers where Shen Yiqiu and several other adults lived. After knowing the location of these people, he immediately waved to the soldiers under his command, "Get up here."
These people naturally cooperated and went up to the second floor.
At this time, the residents on the second floor had already fallen into sleep. They didn't expect that in this completely silent moment, a group of people would suddenly knock on the door with a loud noise, "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
"If you don't open the door, we'll break down the door!"
Although the residents nearby heard these sounds, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
The inspectors who were knocked on the door obviously didn't understand what happened, and they didn't expect that someone would be so bold, so he just opened the door.
I didn't want to just open the door, before they could see what happened.
A group of people immediately detained them all.
And until they were detained, they didn't understand what happened. They could only threaten the group with their official status.
