Chapter 111: Catching Turtles
Jiang Shu was about to answer when he suddenly heard the sound of rain outside the house.
"Go to sleep first and wait until the rain stops."
She promised her mother never to rush on a rainy day.
The night was dark and windy, and the rain was falling.
After Zhao Manying returned home, she reported to Zhao Renxian as usual.
At this time, Zhao Renxian was full of suspicion because the men who followed Yu Zheng had not returned, so he inquired particularly carefully.
Zhao Manying followed Yu Zheng's instructions and told the truth. They just skipped the part where they went to find Aunt Li.
"King Jing met a friend and had dinner together?" Zhao Renxian was suspicious.
Zhao Manying said: "Yes, that person is also from Shangjing. He is doing business in Lin'an Mansion. We had dinner at Chunjiang Tower."
"Just a businessman?"
"yes."
"Other than that, nothing special?"
Zhao Manying shook her head.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhao Renxian waved her back.
It was still early and the restaurant was not closed yet, so Zhao Renxian ordered someone to go to the restaurant to inquire. The information obtained is consistent with what Zhao Manying said.
After resting restlessly, Zhao Renxian couldn't fall asleep.
After waiting until midnight, the people sent out had not returned yet, and Zhao Renxian couldn't lie down anymore.
"Somebody come!"
"What are your orders, sir?" The guard opened the door and entered the room, bowing and waiting for orders.
Zhao Renxian ordered while getting dressed: "Send a few people to look for Wu Fang. You lead a group of people and follow me out."
Wu Fang is the crony who followed Yu Zheng before he returned.
The guard was stunned and said hesitantly: "It's so late and it's raining. If you have anything to do, please tell me."
Zhao Renxian was full of irritation and said displeasedly: "You can go as you are told. When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?"
"Sir, please calm down." The guard did not dare to say anything more and could only do as he was told.
For fear of disturbing Yu Zheng, Zhao Renxian did not dare to go through the front door, so he could only sneak out of the house through the back door.
The secret guard who was secretly watching saw Zhao Renxian getting on the carriage and leaving, and immediately went to report Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng stood up neatly, put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat that Zhufeng handed him, and hurried out of the house.
A group of people rode horses and headed towards Beicheng in the rain.
Just in case, Zhufeng also called Zhou Boxu to protect Yu Zheng.
The fast horse rode through the long and lonely street on the rainy night, carrying a sharp and murderous aura, making the night even colder.
"Bang bang bang!" Zhao Renxian slammed the door vigorously.
Zhuiyun, who was resting in the room with his eyes closed, opened his eyes immediately when he heard the sound.
"Light the lamp and ask Aunt Li to open the door."
"Bang bang bang!" The banging on the door continued.
Aunt Li woke up from her drowsiness, was escorted by the guards, stood up, and walked out tremblingly.
"Think twice, if you can't catch Zhao Renxian, your son will die." Zhuiyun handed the umbrella to Aunt Li and reminded her.
Aunt Li was shocked, took the umbrella, opened it, and walked towards the courtyard gate with difficulty.
The moment her palm touched the courtyard door, Aunt Li struggled with pain.
Outside the door is her husband, and inside the door is her son. No matter how she chooses, she is heartbroken.
"Liniang, open the door quickly." Zhao Renxian urged outside.
Aunt Li suppressed the turmoil in her heart, took a deep breath, put on her usual expression, pulled the latch and opened the door.
"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Zhao Renxian complained as he stepped over the threshold and pulled Li Liniang towards the house.
"Why did Zhao Lang come suddenly in the middle of the night?" Aunt Li tried hard to control her emotions.
Zhao Renxian didn't notice anything strange. He walked towards the lighted room and said, "I feel uneasy, so I came to see you."
"Lin'an Mansion may not be peaceful these days. You guys have nothing to do..."
Zhao Renxian entered the room and saw Zhuiyun and the others. The last two words were stuck in his throat and he could no longer say them.
"Master Zhao, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhuiyun pulled out two daggers from his waist.
Zhao Renxian was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and took Aunt Li and ran out of the house.
"Xuan'er is still in their hands." Aunt Li reminded urgently.
"Run away first." Zhao Renxian was decisive and decisive, without any hesitation.
"What about Xuan'er?" Aunt Li's heart was burning with anxiety.
Zhao Renxian said confidently: "If they can't catch me, they won't kill him."
Aunt Li felt sad when she heard this: "Zhao Lang, you can't blame me."
"What's the use of talking about this now!" Zhao Renxian looked at the open courtyard door, as if he saw life.
The next moment, a guard was kicked into the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, other guards were forced into the courtyard, fighting with others while retreating.
There was a roadblock in front and a siege behind him. Zhao Renxian knew that it would be difficult to escape today.
"Mr. Zhao, I advise you to arrest him without hesitation. You will suffer less physical pain and your son will be safe."
Zhufeng held a tiger-head hook, and rainwater dripped down his hat and raincoat.
A bolt of lightning struck down, reflecting his cold and evil smile, which looked very much like the life-killing Shura.
Yu Zheng stood behind Zhufeng, Jun's face was cold.
"How did you find this place?" Zhao Renxian asked reluctantly.
He thought that this place was very hidden and no one knew about his relationship with Li Liniang. How did Yu Zheng find out?
"It would be really difficult to investigate without help. Thanks to Mr. Zhao for sending Miss Zhao to assist me." Yu Zheng thanked him sincerely.
After hearing this, Zhao Renxian jumped angrily: "Zhao Manying, how dare she betray me!"
"No, how did she know?" Zhao Renxian was very sure that he had never mentioned it to Zhao Manying.
Yu Zheng only told him eight words: "One hundred secrets and one sparse, too many words will lead to mistakes."
After saying this, Yu Zheng stopped wasting time and ordered in a deep voice: "Take it!"
Chaiyunzhuifeng got the order and led people to attack from both front and back.
"Hide yourself!" Zhao Renxian threw Li Liniang away, grabbed the long knife from the guard, and attacked Yu Zheng.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. As long as he holds Yu Zheng hostage, there is still a glimmer of hope.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Yu Zheng, wrapped in a raincoat, stood motionless in the face of Zhao Renxian's attack.
Zhao Renxian looked happy when he saw this, thinking that since Yu Zheng didn't know martial arts, his plan would succeed.
Soon enough, just as the tip of Zhao Renxian's knife was approaching Yu Zheng, only a foot away from him, a person suddenly appeared behind Yu Zheng and blocked Zhao Renxian's knife with his sword.
It was Zhou Boxu who was also wearing a coir raincoat and bamboo hat. Because the night was too dark, he was standing behind Yu Zheng and was not seen.
"锵!" The sword was connected, and Zhou Bo's order was fierce, and the forced Zhao Renxian defeated.
How could a governor who only knew how to defend himself be the opponent of the commander in chief.
In less than ten moves, Zhao Renxian was defeated. Zhou Bexu stabbed him in the arm and kicked him to the ground, with the sword pointed directly at his neck.
Zhao Renxian was soaked to the skin, clutching his injured arm and fell into the muddy water, looking miserable.
Even so, he was unwilling to be captured. He trembled and struggled to death: "Your Majesty, as long as you let me live, I will give you all the treasures."
The fight between King Jing and the prince requires a lot of money, whether it is to cultivate power or make friends with talents.
Zhao Renxian believed that the conditions he offered were attractive enough, and Yu Zheng would definitely agree.
When Yu Zheng heard this, he sneered coldly: "Bringing this king a bribe will increase your crime."
Zhao Renxian: "..."
Has his brain been soaked by the rain, and he doesn't want all the treasures piled up?
Zhao Renxian was arrested, and the guards lost the need to resist and surrendered.
"Zhao Lang, I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you." Li Liniang threw herself in front of Zhao Renxian and cried.
Zhao Renxian's chest was heaving and he gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Zhufeng pulled away from Li Liniang.
"Take him away. If you have anything to say, talk to him slowly in prison."
