"Two female snitches attacked me just now. They took away an important treasure from me. In order to help me get the treasure back, my guards also fought with the female snitch in this tavern."
"However, when I came in, their fight was over. I suspect that those female snitches hid deliberately in order not to be found by me. Can you help me find their whereabouts in this tavern? ?」
Hearing that it was just a female snitch, I felt that the risk factor was not high. They only need to search in this tavern, and the scope of their search is not large. And the most important thing is that this was an order from a superior officer, so when the guard heard this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, sir. As long as the female snitch is in this tavern, we will definitely be able to catch them."
After the words fell, the guard immediately waved his hand and said, "Young men, come with me!"
However, before he could finish his words, Lu Zhizhang interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute!"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the guard could only put down his big hand, then looked at Lu Zhizhang with a humbly seeking advice and said, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhizhang only whispered after hearing this, "It would be too loud to rush in, and the tavern is not a secret room. There are many doorways behind the windows. If those places are not blocked, they can escape from there!"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the guard immediately praised, "My lord is right, you are very thoughtful."
Lu Zhizhang was not in the mood to exchange business favors with the other party, so he immediately interrupted the guard and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Let's stop talking nonsense now. I'll take ten people to seal the gap. You hurry in and find someone."
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's arrangement, the guard also saw that Lu Zhizhang was in a hurry.
So the guard stopped talking nonsense.
Then the guard and Lu Zhizhang separated into two groups. Lu Zhizhang led ten people and blocked all the exits of the tavern, while the guard rushed into the room with twenty guards.
However, even if Lu Zhizhang had blocked all the exits, even if the guards rushed in and searched everywhere.
However, the tavern was still empty.
However, the guards who rushed in did not find anything.
At least they brought out Lu Zhizhang's unconscious secret guard.
Lu Zhizhang recognized his secret guard at a glance, so Lu Zhizhang immediately rushed to the secret guard's side. He gently patted the secret guard's cheek and said, "Wake up! Wake up quickly."
As his mood became more agitated, Lu Zhizhang slapped the secret guard's cheek with his palms harder and harder.
The secret guard finally woke up after being slapped on the cheek several times.
The moment he woke up, the secret guard was obviously still a little confused, but after seeing Lu Zhizhang's face, the secret guard was immediately brought back to reality.
He immediately spoke to Lu Zhizhang, "Sir, it was my subordinates who did something wrong that caused them all to run away! Please punish your subordinates!"
Lu Zhizhang was a little displeased when he heard this, but he also knew that there was no reason to blame the secret guard at this moment. After all, those women were obviously very strong in martial arts, so he was no match for them.
Now that he can protect himself and save his own life, it can only be considered that he is lucky.
And now that he has punished the other party, who else can help him?
So he immediately interrupted the secret guard's apology and said, "Okay, let's not dwell on these things for now. I just want to ask you, have you seen Wen Shanxiu and Crested Ibis Zhi?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, the secret guard immediately replied in a low voice, "When I fainted, Wen Shanxiu was still next to me. He had already fainted from fright. As for Zhu Ibis, I didn't see it from beginning to end." Get over him!"
Hearing the secret guard's words, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, I think they are here for the Crested Ibis Zhi, but I don't know what the person's intention was in taking the Crested Ibis Zhi away."
After saying this, the guard happened to come back with Wen Shanxiu, so Lu Zhizhang stopped talking.
He obviously still doesn't want these guards to know that the person he is looking for is actually a living person, and this living person is Yunzhou
The prefect.
"Sir, we have searched all over this tavern, but what is pity is that except for these two fainted people, there is nothing in this tavern!"
After hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhizhang only affirmed the other party, "Thank you for your hard work. It's enough to find them. As for the treasure, I will go and track it down myself."
The guard then asked, "Sir, do you want to go to the hospital? Your hand is injured."
After hearing the guard's words, Lu Zhizhang lowered his head and glanced at his arm. It was then that he discovered that there was a long cut in his arm, and a lot of blood was bleeding from the wound.
The blood soaked through his moon-white sleeves. Seeing this, he was not surprised. He thought it was the scratch on the ground when the secret guard threw him out.
However, at the moment, he had no intention of going to the medical center to bandage his wounds, so he just refused the guard's proposal.
"That's not necessary, it's just a minor injury."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang planned to leave. At the same time, the secret guard also took the initiative to bandage Lu Zhizhang.
At this time, Lu Zhizhang said to the guard, "Go patrol the streets. Since they have already come out of the tavern, it will definitely be a time-consuming and laborious task to find them. If you don't have a specific direction, it will be even more difficult to find them." "
After the guard found no one in the tavern, he actually wanted to withdraw.
After all, they have their own work to complete, and they can't hang around here all the time.
So now that he heard Lu Zhizhang say this, he naturally just followed the donkey down the slope.
"Since Master Lu has said so, let's leave first. If you have any further instructions, you can come to us at the guard post."
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhizhang naturally nodded, "Okay!"
After all, before Miao Sheng existed, he didn't want to make this matter a big deal and make it known to everyone.
Then Lu Zhizhang signaled the guard to leave.
After the guards left, Lu Zhizhang's wounds had only just been bandaged.
Then the guard only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Sir, this injury has been bandaged. Where should we go now?"
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he just looked at the tavern with a gloomy expression.
Now he just feels that this tavern is getting weirder and weirder.
After all, this small tavern at the entrance to the bustling city was actually empty. No matter how you thought about it, it was full of weirdness.
Therefore, Lu Zhizhang only said in a low voice, "Let's first investigate who the owner of this tavern is. Maybe we can follow the clues from the tavern owner to find out the whereabouts of these women today."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the secret guard immediately whispered, "Your Excellency is still wise!" ap.
As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard was ready to follow Lu Zhizhang's wishes to find the whereabouts of the owner of the tavern.
The task of finding the whereabouts of the tavern owner naturally didn't take long, and soon the secret guard found the young owner of the tavern.
When the little boss was sneaked over, he obviously didn't know what he had done. When he saw Lu Zhizhang, the little boss was even more frightened.
"Master Lu! I wonder what orders you have for me?" The little boss asked in fear.
However, Lu Zhizhang immediately said, "What can I ask you for? Let me ask you, how are you doing business today? Do you have so few customers on weekdays?"
The little boss was dumbfounded by Lu Zhizhang's questioning. He obviously didn't understand the meaning of Lu Zhizhang's words. It took a while for the little boss to react. Then he immediately smiled and said, "My lord, I misunderstood. I usually don't understand." There are quite a few customers, and the villain is not open today."
"Why open the door when it's not open?" When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he thought the boss was trying to make excuses, so he interrupted the little boss impatiently.
Interrupted by Lu Zhizhang, the young boss looked calm and unhurried.
"Sir, you may not know something, but I'm here
Yesterday, I rented it to someone else because the price they offered was so generous and they only rented it for one day, so I rented it to them too. "
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhizhang only looked at each other with his secret guard.
It seems that following the clues has some effect.
"Since you rented things to them, let me ask you who rented your house?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the little boss also seemed vague, "I don't know about that. Anyway, the person who came here actually arranged for a client to come. As for the contract, the client also signed it on his behalf."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang's face became even more embarrassed, "So you just rented out your tavern without knowing anything?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's seemingly accusatory words and looking at Lu Zhizhang's embarrassed expression, the little boss immediately thought that he had committed some serious crime of beheading.
Therefore, the young boss immediately stumbled and said to Lu Zhizhang, "It's not that I don't know anything. Sir, did something happen to my shop? Or did I delay your business by renting out the shop?"
Lu Zhizhang wanted to accuse the other party, but seeing the trembling appearance of the other party, Lu Zhizhang had no intention of blaming the other party. He just whispered, "It doesn't delay me. It's just that we are investigating a group of criminals. I suspect that the criminal rented I’ll kill your shop.”
As soon as he heard this, the boss was frightened. He immediately stumbled and said, "Sir... Sir, I don't know anything. I just do it for the sake of the agent Wang Po's face." The person who agreed to rent the house to that person really didn’t know anything.”
Lu Zhizhang was not surprised at all when he heard what the other party said.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, and you don't need to be so scared. Just tell me honestly what you know."
Faced with Lu Zhizhang's words, the little boss naturally nodded heavily. At the moment, he just wanted to dig out his heart and lungs and let Lu Zhizhang see that his heart was red.
