Yan Zhijian's remonstrance that day seemed to have had some effect - on the afternoon of the next day, Cao Zhongcheng, who returned from Nanya, issued a new order, asking the three elite patrol groups in Jing'an Taiwan to target Luoshui, Chengdu, etc. Donghechengnan carried out key surveillance and inspections to prevent theft of official materials, severely crack down on smuggling, and maintain order in the construction of Mingtang.
Among them, the patrol team responsible for the most important Luoshui channel was not surprisingly assigned to the patrol team inspected by Bai Yousibai, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry.
But these have little impact on Zhang Xing, because he still does not go out to work.
In terms of influence... I don't know if it was an illusion. After returning that day, Bai Yousi, who didn't mention the aftermath of that day at all, seemed to be more distant from Zhang Xing, and the two of them communicated less. Some. But even so, Zhang Sanlang didn't react much, but worked more diligently and seriously.
In fact, at Zhang Baishou's suggestion and through Bai Yousi's channel, the three patrol groups who had received special tasks merged with copywriters to compile all special case closing reports, and he polished and reviewed them before sending them to the Black Tower. .
Frankly speaking, it's a bit over the top.
After all, although everyone knows that Zhang Sanlang has a close relationship with several black ribbons in the Black Tower, and his copywriting skills are superb, he can usually save his brothers a lot of trouble. However, when handling cases in the field, especially this kind of thing, there will definitely be trouble. The trouble is usually divided among the patrol teams. It is not possible to show the trouble to other brothers and patrol teams, which makes everyone very embarrassed.
But again, who made this special event obviously related to the Ministry of Industry? The daughter-in-law of the Minister of Industry took over the most difficult job and asked for a unified summary. How could Cao Zhongcheng not allow it? Zhu Shou from the other two groups didn't even have a chance to object.
"Have you filled out the form? Let's review the key information of yesterday's case and deal with it together." Gradually, as winter officially arrived, Zhang Baishou, who was concentrating on health care, actually had some dark circles under his eyes. "The Nancheng copper material case... finally fell on the heads of the Changsheng Gang?"
"Yes." Neither of the other two groups had the right to be a copywriter. The person responsible for speaking was a disabled patrolman whose left knee had been hit by an arrow during the battle. "Wei Dingbian, the leader of the Changsheng Gang, a master of Tongmai Dzogchen, was personally captured by our Lu Zhushou today. More than seventy people in the gang died, escaped or were captured, and they were basically dispersed."
"What made this Changsheng Gang appear?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment and continued to ask. "Won't there be repetitions?"
"No." The copywriter on the other side replied simply. "It's basically a new gang. In the middle of the year, we cleaned up Nancheng, and the Jiajingfang where they were based was vacated. Then in the autumn, there was a recruitment and announcement turmoil. Wei Dingbian only entered Dongdu at this time, but when he came to Dongdu Later, after seeing the prosperity of the local area, he did not bother to join the army as ordered by his father, so they started hanging out together... I am a capable person, and when the gang came together, the Nancheng Copper Material Factory was set up. The profit and water increased greatly, and naturally they followed. Woke up."
"How much oil and water will you get back?"
In the room, Zhang Xing suddenly lowered his voice.
"It's hard to say, a lot of the copper materials and utensils I brought back were copper materials and copper utensils..." The copywriter smiled dryly.
"He also knows how to make bronzes at home?" The copywriter in the other group next to him was surprised. This was an older patrolman with a white ribbon, but he was still different from Zhang Xing, a white ribbon with a promising future. And words. "Then you and your team will make a fortune."
"You get half the profit once you change hands. Where do you get so much copper on weekdays?" The copywriter shook his head, as if he hadn't heard the last part of the sentence. "The business is unique."
"Han Jiulang." At this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly put down the document and read it carefully. "I'm talking to you. I don't want to hinder your group from getting rich. I just want to ask clearly. I have a clue in my mind so that I can save you some trouble in writing... Tell me the truth now. It's a waste of money. How much is the material, how much is checked... If you really don’t understand the market price, I’ll call a shopkeeper from Bei City to come over and tell you now!”
"Why did Third Brother have an attack?" The copywriter was embarrassed for a moment and then said with a smile. "Isn't this difficult to calculate at the moment... Let's put it this way, if we only count the copper materials and ignore the copperware, the accounts are missing 30,000 guan. The gang copied 5,000 guan. We really didn't dare to take much, about There are three or four thousand strings in the palace, some are scattered and some are whole."
"Then where did the remaining twenty-five thousand strings go?"
Zhang Xing frowned in response. "I'm not investigating the case, I'm asking you for the truth. I feel confident."
"Where can I go? The local street cleaners and the city wall administrators all have to share the profits..." The clerk shook his head. "Even the brothers in the team guessed that the man from the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of scrap smelting turned a blind eye, so he should have shared a lot of oil... that is, the amount was too large, too much oil and water. , It’s not good to make fire rice, otherwise you’ll just eat it if you can.”
"Fine."
Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly and didn't pay any more attention to it. He just went to see another copywriter with a white ribbon. "How was the third group yesterday in the east of the city? I think they arrested an official from the Ministry of Works, and then also broke up a gang?"
"Yes, those are the two things." The elder Bai Shou copywriter responded immediately. "The official from the Ministry of Works is a typical thief. He is responsible for assigning escort supplies. He actually asked the servants to directly deliver the newly arrived copper materials to the square wall next to the courtyard wall of his house at night, and then asked his own children to carry it to the square wall. It is worthless. More, a total of one or two thousand guan. As for that gang, it is composed of a group of local Guanluo servants who specialize in collecting protection fees in the servant camp..."
"What the hell?" Zhang Xing, who was recording, was stunned. “Where do you collect protection money?”
"Yi Ding Camp..."
"Is the servant rich?"
"When I came here, whoever had some money at home wouldn't give some to their husbands and sons? There were also winter clothes issued by the imperial court, not to mention, they could force these servants to steal materials." The elder Bai Shou was not surprised. , here he even mentioned an old thing in turn. "Zhang Sanlang, why are you surprised when others are surprised? That day when you were carrying the body of your friend back home, didn't you soon meet a bandit who wanted your boots? Then he angered you, killed four or five people, and then led you to The second group of people went to see..."
Zhang Xing nodded slowly, and then couldn't help but ask: "Is this gang gone?"
"No more." The elder Bai Shou said with a smile. "No one can stand this kind of shameful thing. Our patrol inspector personally took action and disturbed the gang leader in public and paid back the money."
"How can you still be clear?" Zhang Xing shook his head repeatedly, then lowered his head to fill in his form. "Forget it, do you two have anything else to explain?"
"We, Zhu Shou, asked me to ask Zhang Sanlang privately why he asks so detailed questions every time? Is it..."
"No." Zhang Xing didn't even raise his head. "From a public point of view, it is to prevent major cases of conspiracy from being discovered. From a private point of view, it is because some people gossip and ruin Mr. Bai's reputation."
"I see."
"now it's right……"
It was obvious that the two of them were relieved.
Involving the other two groups, everything is so difficult and troublesome, but there is no profit. After Zhang Xing finished the copywriting, he had to let the other two people review it to make sure it was correct before calling Xiao Gu and other official servants to deliver it. Document, get up and go back home.
As for the two groups of copywriters, they all felt sorry for Zhang Xing. It was clear that Bai Yousi was concerned about both public and private affairs, but they made him suffer in vain. They thought of how Zhang Xing went to Baifu, the Marquis of Ji'an, and how many smiles he had after he came back. , there is also a lot of speculation around it.
Go home, eat, meditate, and practice martial arts at night. Life at home has not changed much.
"The price of firewood has increased again."
Yueniang sat on the threshold of the kitchen with her chin in her hands, watching Zhang Xing dance with a knife and a gun, chatting from time to time.
"oh?"
"It's winter, and too much wood is consumed outside the city. It is said that firewood is hard to find."
"oh."
"But I don't know why, but the firewood delivered by the old man who delivers firewood is quite reliable. I told him that it's winter, and he will directly agree to add four bundles of firewood every time from now on."
"fine."
"I asked him how he didn't feel it was hard. He said his nephew had gone home and there was no need for him to fetch firewood."
"Better."
"Is Brother Qin going home for the New Year this year?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I saw him receiving his mother's letter and crying for a long time. The next day, he got up and found a businessman in Nanshi to help him send things and money to his family..."
"Well...if this is the case, it will be difficult to go home."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid his mother's letter is telling him to make progress, stand out, and revive the prestige of the Qin family."
"But don't all mothers want their own children?"
"Go back to sleep!" Zhang Xing suddenly put away his knife and turned around to warn him.
Yueniang didn't say a word and got into her own room next to the kitchen.
Zhang Xing watched the other party close the door, then entered the other side of the courtyard, and knocked on Qin Bao's door: "Erlang, it's a good time to look after the house, but don't delay the hard work of getting up early tomorrow... I'm going out."
"I know." Qin Bao, who entered the room early, seemed a little surprised. "Don't you need my help?"
"No, it's just a small matter."
"Then third brother, go early and come back early."
"I know." Zhang Xing nodded, turned around, entered the courtyard opposite where he lived, changed into a Jinwuwei standard saber, took out a dagger, put on a set of black clothes, and then took off directly , disappeared into the night with little light.
Three-quarters of an hour later, he was lying in the home of Mr. Wang Qi, who was in charge of the practice workshop. Specifically, he was lying next to the skylight above the bedroom of Mr. Wang Qi's home.
This Wang Zongqi is the one who arrested Niuda in the previous Niuda case.
More than half a month has passed since this happened.
Zhang Xing had already found out this person's background, reputation, and daily activities, and had already thought about what he was going to do today while Wang Zongqi's wife was returning to her parents' home - for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't use his own hands to do anything for the sake of the overall situation. Are the grievances underneath smoothed out?
If he can't be a high official, can he still not be a hero?
In the middle of the night, I opened the skylight, took out the immortal energy, carefully drilled in, cut it off easily, then climbed up the wall, wrote a line of poetry, and left a signature.
Immediately, he took some more broken silver, opened the door and left.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness.
After Zhang Xing left, he just escaped from the courtyard for a moment. As soon as he arrived at the square wall, a white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and flashed directly into Mr. Wang Qi's bedroom.
His eyes turned to the body on the bed, his fingertips glowed, but he looked at the wall again, and then froze in place.
After a while, the man recited a few lines of the new poem, jumped up, and disappeared into the night sky of the Eastern Capital.
Only a few lines of poems remain on the wall:
Even if the hero's bones are fragrant after death, he will not be ashamed to be the best in the world.
Who can write the "Tai Xuan Jing" in front of the official document?
The signature is none other than Li Taibai, the hero of Zhongzhou.
PS: Good night everyone
