When the store owner heard Zhao Shuhai's words, he was naturally extremely grateful, "Sir, if I could help you point out a way to survive, I would be very grateful. I would be willing to contribute the income of the store for the past five months to honor you."
Zhao Shuhai's eyes lit up when he heard what the store owner said. He originally wanted to scare the store owner so that he would cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that the store owner was so unafraid that he was willing to use five months' income to honor him.
Zhao Shuhai was overjoyed, but his face showed no expression at all. He said calmly: "Since you are so sincere, I will show you a way to survive. Do you know what I hate most?"
The store owner looked horrified and said quickly: "You are stupid, please let me know."
Zhao Shuhai only said in a low voice, "If you don't report it to the official, it will be over. Only I, you and the waiter know about this matter. As long as I don't say anything, you can find two more people to send the prison head Wang out and bury him. This will Who knows?"
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, the store owner was obviously still a little worried, "Sir, is this okay?"
When Zhao Shuhai saw that the other party was questioning him, he immediately said coldly, "If you think this is not feasible, you can report it to the official now!"
Seeing that Zhao Shuhai was angry, the store owner quickly said to Zhao Shuhai, "Sir, you don't have to worry. I'm not questioning you. I'm just worried about how I will deal with Wang Laotou's family if they come to visit."
Hearing what the store owner said, Zhao Shuhai only said, "This is not easy to deal with. Just say that Wang Laotou did come to your store to have a drink, but then he said he wanted to go home and left. That's all you say, and there are Even though I'm here, they can't find out where he went."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai vow to do this, the store owner could only flatter Zhao Shuhai.
And in order to make this flattery work well and to coax Zhao Shuhai well, the store owner had no choice but to go to his room in person to pick up the banknote and give it to Zhao Shuhai.
As soon as Zhao Shuhai opened the wooden box, he saw a thick stack of banknotes. When they saw the banknotes in the box, Zhao Shuhai and the store owner only smiled tacitly.
Although Zhao Shuhai is also an heir apparent, no one cares about having too much money. Moreover, in order to control Zhao Shuhai, the old prince only gave him a monthly allowance of only one hundred taels. Even the monthly salary of the young minister of Dali Temple was only five taels. Ten taels of silver, and now that he suddenly saw so many banknotes, it was hard for Zhao Shuhai not to be moved.
So Zhao Shuhai looked at the banknotes and said directly, "It's hard for the boss to be so polite, so I won't be polite anymore. I accept your filial piety."
After saying this, Zhao Shuhai only asked the shopkeeper to take the person and bury him. After all the instructions, Zhao Shuhai walked out of Qionghua Building with a clear conscience.
At this time, there were suddenly a lot of silver notes in his pocket, and Zhao Shuhai naturally did not want to go back. Anyway, he did not like to be involved in the official career. Compared with this, the happier thing is that he still has endless money to spend. Come and splurge. xь.
However, during the time when Zhao Shuhai ran out, the servant who was arranged by the Minister of Dali Temple to look for Wang Laotou also came back from here.
When he saw the servant coming back alone, the minister of Dali Temple couldn't help but asked, "Why are you coming back alone? Where is the prison chief Wang?"
The servant who was questioned by the Minister of Dali Temple immediately told him what he had done, "My lord, I went to the prison to look for Wang Laotou, but the subordinates on that day only said that Wang Laotou had been there since he went to have dinner at noon yesterday. Missing."
After hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple's face darkened, "Don't you know how to find Wang Laotou's family?"
Facing the inquiry from the Minister of Dali Temple, the servant could only say helplessly, "Sir, I have also been there, but his family members only said that Wang Laotou never came back. They didn't know that Wang Laotou was there either." where."
After hearing what the servant said, the minister of Dali Temple looked very embarrassed.
At this time, Lu Zhizhang happened to come to submit the case file to the Minister of Dali Temple for approval. Seeing that the Minister of Dali Temple looked very worried, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but take the initiative to say to him, "Why does the Minister of Temple look like this?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, the Dali Temple minister just shook his head and sighed, "Zhizhang, you came just in time. I was just about to tell you that not only the prisoner is missing, but also the prison leader Wang." I don’t know where he went.”
listen
At this point, Lu Zhizhang's expression suddenly became heavy, "Then what should we do?"
After hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple just shook his head and sighed, "Now we can only send people to find Wang Laotou again."
However, after hearing the words of the Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Zhizhang just whispered, "Sir, have you searched Wang Laotou's home and workplace?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's inquiry, the Minister of Dali Temple only said, "You'd better go over and ask the officer."
After hearing this, the minister of Dali Temple immediately asked the officer, and then the officer naturally told Lu Zhizhang what he had just said to the minister of Dali Temple.
After hearing what the official said, Lu Zhizhang immediately asked the Dali Temple Minister for instructions, "Master Temple Minister, if not, why don't we leave the matter of finding Wang Laotou to the lower official?"
The Minister of Dali Temple originally had the same plan, but now that Lu Zhizhang came to invite him, he naturally responded, "That's fine, I'll leave it to Lu Shaoqing."
With the arrangement of the Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Zhizhang immediately went to the prison of Dali Temple again in a hurry.
Naturally, there is another group of people on duty today. This group of people is exactly the guards who were on duty during the day yesterday.
Lu Zhizhang only asked the guards, "Last night, after Wang Laotou went to have lunch at noon, did he never come back again?"
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, the guards just nodded, "That's true."
"Then did he leave a few words with you before he left? For example, did he say where he was going to eat today and that he might come back later?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's questions, the guards just shook their heads and said, "I never said that."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang felt somewhat disappointed.
"Didn't he show any signs at all? If you think about it carefully, do you think this is always the case for you, Wang Chaoguan?"
Faced with Lu Zhizhang's relentless questioning, everyone looked at each other, and then after thinking about it carefully, one of them couldn't help but jumped out and said, "Master Lu, in fact, it is common for people in the prison to delay eating for an hour or two. After all, everyone leaves work at different times, but it is very rare for Wang Laotou to not come back all afternoon, especially when it happens to Wang Laotou, the little people are also very surprised. After all, Wang Laotou has never missed his duty."
Seeing someone speaking for Wang LaoTou, the others immediately jumped out and said, "Yes, Wang LaoTou never misses his duty day, but that day just happened to happen."
Everyone is talking but there is no key message.
Just when Lu Zhizhang was about to leave here, one of the jailers suddenly jumped out and said, "Master Lu, I suspect that something has happened to Prison Chief Wang. Normally, Prison Chief Wang always goes back to eat alone. We have never had this in so many years." I have seen a foreigner take the initiative to invite Wang Laotou to dinner, but that day was strange. I saw a young boy suddenly come to invite Wang Laotou to dinner. Moreover, Wang Laotou actually left with him."
After hearing this information, Lu Zhizhang became obviously excited, "Then do you know whose servant that boy is?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's question, the jailer shook his head, "Sir, I'm just a guard in the prison. I can know someone, but if the master mentions the boy in front of the villain, then maybe the villain can still recognize him. people!"
Hearing what the jailer said, Lu Zhizhang was speechless. If he knew the boy, would he still ask him?
However, although the jailer did not know the boy, he obviously still heard some key information. "Master Lu, although I don't know the boy, I heard that their master seemed to have invited many people from our Dali Temple, so I I think this boy should be from our Dali Temple, maybe you can ask which adults were invited out for dinner yesterday."
Seeing what the jailer said, Lu Zhizhang nodded, and then Lu Zhizhang only went to ask the officials below Shaoqing.
He was asking who had dinner with Wang Laotou yesterday.
No one knew that Wang Laotou's whereabouts were unknown. Unexpectedly, after Lu Zhizhang asked, several people actually came forward and said that they had seen Wang Laotou at Qionghua Tower at noon yesterday, and the person who invited them to dinner was Zhao.
Sea of trees.
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang also felt that Zhao Shuhai's sneaking away today seemed a little suspicious.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there might be something wrong with Zhao Shuhai.
So after that, Lu Zhizhang immediately mobilized his officers to find Zhao Shuhai.
Zhao Shuhai was currently joking with the beauties in Fenghua Tower. He was really impressive today. He ordered two courtesans from Fenghua Tower to accompany him, and he paid four hundred silver taels for this move.
Although Zhao Shuhai was not someone who was short of money, it was obviously suspicious to ask for four hundred taels of silver in one breath.
So after Lu Zhizhang heard about Zhao Shuhai, he immediately went to Zhao Shuhai's location without stopping.
The current Madam of Fenghua Tower couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
When Lu Zhizhang rushed up with his people, he kicked the door open with one kick.
At this time, Zhao Shuhai was covering his face and looking for the two oirans. Since he couldn't see them, he didn't know that Lu Zhizhang was coming.
Lu Zhizhang only motioned to the two oirans, who were trembling with fear, to leave the room quickly.
After the oirans left, Lu Zhizhang came to Zhao Shuhai.
Zhao Shuhai didn't know that the people in the room had already changed at this moment.
He just grabbed Lu Zhizhang happily and said, "Little beauty, let me catch you. Let me guess who you are."
After the words fell, Zhao Shuhai began to fumble around Lu Zhizhang randomly.
Seeing Zhao Shuhai causing trouble, Lu Zhizhang immediately grabbed Zhao Shuhai's hand and said, "Master Zhao, stop guessing. It's me."
Hearing the voice from the other side, which turned out to be a man's, Zhao Shuhai immediately took off his mask indiscriminately.
