A boy who was interrogating the housekeeper ran over and told Yun Chao that the housekeeper had already confessed.
After all, the housekeeper knew more than the servants and maids. After hearing this, Yun Chao had a complete idea.
It seems that the old man named Wang is the key, and he must be found.
Someone was guarding the front door, and someone was guarding the back door. There was no movement until now, which meant that Wang Laodao had not left Xiahou Mansion.
"Mrs. Xiahou, I advise you to hand over the Taoist priest named Wang quickly, otherwise I will search him!"
Mrs. Xiahou scratched her neck and didn't say a word to Yun Chao.
Master Wang is watching me secretly, and I can't let him down!
Yun Chao sent a few boys to call Wang Shitou and others who were guarding the city gate.
Xiaoguo has been found, and no other people who have lost their children have shown up, so there is no need to guard the city gate anymore.
At the same time, Yun Chao asked his men to search Xiahou's house.
Xiahou's family is very big, Yun Chao doesn't have many people, and he has to divide his troops to guard the front and back doors, so it's difficult to conduct a blanket search.
In fact, Mrs. Xiahou was also anxious.
Watching a group of wolf-like boys rummaging through boxes and cabinets in her home, she had already become extremely angry.
Where is Master Wang hiding, and why haven't he taken action yet?
While expecting Mr. Wang to take action, Mrs. Xiahou was also complaining about her man.
Such a big thing happened at home, Xiahou Bo, you damn ghost, why don't you come back?
With so many servants, didn't any of them go to report the news?
…
Feng Le Tower.
The largest romantic place in Qingyang County.
It integrates catering, accommodation and entertainment. It is the favorite place for dignitaries in Qingyang County to visit.
It was the Shangyuan Festival, which was when Fengyue Tower's business was at its most prosperous. As the owner of Fengyue Tower, Xiahou Bo had to keep an eye on it personally to prevent the people below him from being ignorant and bumping into a noble person.
Speaking of noble people.
He is Xiahou Bo.
At least, that's what he thinks.
Even the people in Qingyang County think so.
He has a close relationship with Wu County Lieutenant, he is also a good friend with the chief clerk, and he is even close to the clerk in the Yamen. Isn’t he a noble person or something?
In this three-thirds of an acre of land in Qingyang County, except for a few big guys, who dares to provoke the Xiahou officials, unless they are impatient!
However, Xiahou's senior officials also had times when they were worried.
Xiahou Bo became angry when he thought of the young shepherd he had just beaten to death with his own hands.
You are a despicable brat who doesn’t know how to show appreciation. It’s your blessing that the chief bookkeeper has taken a liking to you. You dare to talk about performing arts but not selling your body. The chief bookkeeper will not be able to get off the stage in public. If I don’t kill you, all the other lowly brats will follow suit in the future. What to do?
It's a pity that she was bought for eight hundred taels of silver. In order to maintain her worth, he didn't even want to touch her. She died in vain like that. What a pity!
Xiahou Bo walked into a luxurious upper room, where people were drinking and drinking. Lieutenant Wu, Chief Feng, Hou Dutou, and several scribes in the Yamen were already in high spirits.
These usually sanctimonious guys were now acting wildly, each holding one or two women in their arms and speaking obscene words.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou Bo smiled brightly.
Really, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Without these well-dressed beasts, there would be no room for him, Xiahou Bo, to display his talents!
After drinking a few drinks with everyone, and telling the women under his command that they must not neglect the distinguished guests, Xiahou Bo withdrew. These guys were already drunk and there was no need to keep company with them.
Damn it, if there is one less young man, I will make less money!
I have to find a way to buy two more as soon as possible.
By the way, there is also the Lion House. I heard that there is a new owner, and they must find a way to suppress it severely to let him know who has the final say in Qingyang County.
Suddenly, a boy ran up from downstairs in a panic.
"Old...Master, hurry...hurry home and take a look, something happened at home!"
"What? Tell me clearly. What happened at home?"
Of course Xiahou Bo knew that today was the day when Wang Zhenren made medicine and prepared medicine. If the county captain and the chief clerk hadn't come to drink, he would have gone back long ago.
Now that Xiahou Bo heard that something happened at home, his heart skipped a beat. Did what he was worried about happen?
The boy ran out of breath and panted for a while before he could catch his breath.
"Master, I don't know the specifics. Many guests came to watch the fun, saying that our home is a den of thieves who kidnap and traffic children. Someone led troops and surrounded our home..."
Xiahou Bo's head was buzzing.
What I was worried about still happened.
The reason why he has been accompanying Lieutenant Wu is because he is worried that something will go wrong tonight.
As long as Wu County Lieutenant and Hou Dutou, who are in charge of public security, do not have any abnormality, nothing will happen to their family.
Who knows, something happened.
I don't know where the bastard came from, but he bypassed the county captain and the capital in charge of public security and directly sent troops to surround his home.
Hearing that the other side had troops, Xiahou Bo did not dare to go back by himself.
Although there were many thugs in Fengle Tower, Xiahou Bo still felt uneasy.
To be able to surround one's own home with great fanfare, and even make the noise known to the whole city, shows that the other party has a lot of background.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to handle it with just some of Feng Lelou's thugs.
Ignoring the relationship between the county captain and the chief registrar, I foolishly rushed forward myself. Isn’t the money I usually feed them in vain?
It has to be said that there is a reason why Xiahou Bo made a fortune.
Even at this moment, he can still maintain a calm mind.
Asking the boy who reported the news to gather the help, he wiped his face, straightened his clothes, and returned to the room where Lieutenant Wu and others were.
The room was full of smoke and demons were dancing wildly.
I didn't find the chief registrar. The chief registrar was in charge of matters such as money, food and documents, not public security.
Xiahou Bo lay next to Wu County Lieutenant's ear and whispered: "County Lieutenant, a servant just reported that someone surrounded my house. I wonder if the County Lieutenant heard the news?"
"What?"
Lieutenant Wu County was a little drunk, and his attention was focused on the woman in his arms. He couldn't hear what Xiahou Bo said for a while.
"Relax...don't worry, it's just the Lion House that has changed owners. Don't worry, I know that guy...Yun Er, a mud-legged guy. Within a month, I will give the Lion House's surname to Xiahou..."
"County Lieutenant, I'm not talking about the Lion Tower. Someone surrounded my house and said that my family was abducting and selling children. Please make the decision for me, County Lieutenant!"
"What?"
This time Wu Xianwei heard it clearly, but he was a little unbelievable.
"Brother Xiahou, are you right? With your family fortune, why are you kidnapping and selling children? How much money can you make?"
Xiahou Bo was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother: "County Lieutenant, someone wrongly accused me of abducting and selling children, not that I really abducted children."
"oh……"
Lieutenant Wu Xianhou breathed out a breath of alcohol, which almost knocked Xiahou Bo into a fight.
"Haha, that's good. I thought you, brother Xiahou, were kidnapping and selling children. It's okay. It's not you who did it. You can go out and do your work. You don't have to accompany me..."
Xiahou Bo: "..."
