early morning.
Cheng Wanwan was sitting in the yard drinking tea, while Cheng Jia was reporting from the side.
"Master He came to Ping'an County this time and brought four maids, four boys, and twelve guards. These are just people on the surface. It is not clear how many secret guards there are in the dark."
"Master He is the third-rank Shaofu Superintendent. Logically speaking, when he comes to Huzhou this time, he should inform the prefect and county magistrates. However, according to the news from his subordinates, it is known that the Huzhou government does not know that the Third-grade Shaofu Supervisor is coming. "
Cheng Wanwan sneered.
He Ling was supposed to go to Nanyang to find a miracle doctor to treat Mrs. He, but instead came to Huzhou to do bad things. Naturally, he didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts.
If she hadn't returned to Dahe Village, He Ling would have been able to conceal his identity and commit evil.
But now that she is back, He Ling must reveal his identity if he wants to enter Dahe Village. If some things are made public, he will have scruples.
Cheng Wanwan was drinking tea quietly, with four or five wild wolves lying beside her feet. Five large white geese in the distance tried to approach several times, but were scared away by the wild wolves.
They were originally the most ferocious beasts in the house, but because Xiaodian called his family to help, the five big white geese were forced into the corner, each of them looking aggrieved.
Xiaozhuzhu suddenly ran over, sat on Xiaodian's back, grabbed the ring around its neck with two chubby hands, and shouted: "Xiaodian, drive!"
Xiaodian got up from the ground resigned to his fate and carefully carried the little ancestor in circles in the yard.
Cheng Wanwan helplessly held her forehead, this girl was becoming more and more lawless, she even dared to bully the wild wolves, while Xiaodian looked doting on her, and the other wild wolves were also lazy and didn't care at all.
Okay, then just pretend she didn't see it.
She had been reading and drinking tea in the yard, and sure enough, at three o'clock in the morning, someone came from the village.
Today's Dahe Village is semi-open, allowing for business and entertainment. If outsiders go to the market to buy things, they don't need to register at all. If they want to enjoy the flowers and tour the lake, they only need to pay.
But if you want to come to the residential area, you have to go through the patrol.
He Ling and his party were stopped at the intersection of the residential area.
Wang Yongcheng stood at the intersection and said in a routine manner: "Please register your name, place of origin, and why you are entering the village."
"How presumptuous!" the young man behind He Ling said coldly, "This is Mr. He from the capital. He is here to do important business. Why don't you let him go quickly?"
Wang Yongcheng had already been warned by Cheng Wanwan, and he immediately showed a respectful expression: "I have seen you, sir, please."
He Ling waved his fan and walked in, followed by twelve guards, who were in full posture.
Wang Yongcheng winked at Zhang Dagang who was beside him. Zhang Dagang immediately took a small path to report to Cheng Wanwan. He quickly summoned all the members of the patrol team and walked towards the door of Cheng Wanwan's house.
Cheng Wanwan sat in the yard, stood up slowly, straightened the hairpin on his head, straightened his collar, and then walked out.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, He Ling and his party arrived.
A smile appeared on her face: "When I was in the capital, I heard that Lord He was looking for a miracle doctor for the critically ill Mrs. He, but we don't have a miracle doctor in Dahe Village. Lord He is in the wrong place."
Seeing the smile on her face, He Ling knew that this woman was very smart. She was so smart that she had already guessed the purpose of his trip, so she left Beijing early and rushed back.
"The people of Sui'an are smart people, so let's make sure we don't tell secret stories." He Ling put away the paper fan and spoke quietly, "Two years ago, the second young master of the He family collaborated with the enemy and treason, and was thrown into the dungeon by the emperor, but However, he fled in fear of crime, and his life and death are still uncertain. I heard that he had appeared in Dahe Village, so I came all the way to look for my brother."
Cheng Wan curled his lips: "I found it, what next?"
"I will ask the emperor to re-investigate thoroughly what happened back then. If the second young master of the He family is really guilty, I will also kneel down and beg the emperor to give him a lighter sentence." He Ling handed over his hand, "If the people of Sui'an know the whereabouts of my brother, they will still Please tell me something, He will be very grateful."
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "Master He's love for my brother is touching. Unfortunately, I don't know the whereabouts of your brother."
He Ling's eyes narrowed: "So, the people of Sui'an are offering wine as a penalty instead of eating it?"
Cheng Wanwan looked innocent: "What, Lord He still wants me to come out as a living person? If I don't know, I just don't know. I don't need to lie to you. Our Dahe Village temple is small and cannot accommodate Lord He, a third-grade Buddha." , please come back."
He Ling's face turned pale.
This woman was so good at pretending that she came back early to hide He Xiao, but she pretended not to know anything.
A mere sixth-grade minister dared to play tricks on him, the eldest son of the He family?
Since he came to this remote place in person, there was no way he could return without success. This time, he had to kill He Xiao with his own hands.
He directly took out the token from his waist: "In that case, I will order you as a third-grade Shaofu prisoner to hand over the prisoner."
"Prisoner? Where did he come from?" Cheng Wanwan turned and asked Wang Yongcheng, "You are the captain of our village patrol team. Have you seen any fugitives coming to the village?"
Wang Yongcheng said loudly: "I didn't see what I said when I returned to Sui'an."
A group of men from the surrounding patrol team echoed: "We didn't even see it!"
"Then search it for me!"
He Ling raised his hand and made a gesture, and the twelve guards behind him immediately stepped forward.
Cheng Wanwan said coldly: "The Third Grade Young Master's Office does not care about searching prisoners, unless Mr. He has a search warrant. Do you have one?"
Of course He Ling didn't have such a thing, but as long as He Xiao was found and the fugitive who collaborated with the enemy and treason was captured alive, no one would care about the search warrant, and he would not only get rid of the big trouble in his heart, but also make another contribution.
He said coldly: "Search!"
Twelve guards rushed into Cheng Wanwan's yard.
Just as Wang Yongcheng was about to go up to stop him, he saw a dozen wild wolves rushing out from the entrance of the courtyard, and five big white geese walking out slowly.
"Ouch——"
Xiaodian was the first to rush forward, biting the trouser leg of the guard at the front, and pulled hard, causing the guard to fall to the ground.
At the same time, the big white goose rushed up, pecked the guard's face hard, and took out a piece of meat. The guard rolled on the ground in pain, pulled out the sword from his waist, and pointed it at the wild wolf and the big white goose. The goose waved wildly.
Madam Ma brought a group of women over at some point and surrounded the guards.
"It's terrible, the high officials from the capital are going to kill people!"
"Oh, my mother, my hand was cut by a knife. The official is looking down on human life!"
"Help, help, I'm going to be beaten to death..."
The women screamed.
He Ling stood on the outside, with veins twitching on his forehead, and the Tianling Cap almost burst.
As soon as these women arrived, they started fighting with the guards he brought. Those guards were all killers who licked blood from their swords. It was easy to deal with women, but it was difficult to deal with nearly a hundred women, let alone He said that if these women were driven away, the wild wolves circling around would definitely rush in and bite them, and no one would dare to be cruel to the women.
It was obvious that these guards were unable to resist, but the women had no shame in pretending to be victims.
He Ling bit his back teeth tightly.
Originally, he wanted to give this Suian person some face.
In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless. It was a melee anyway. Even if it cost the lives of people in Sui'an, no one would doubt that he deliberately killed him...
Thinking of this, He Ling put his hand to his lips and whistled.
Almost instantly, dozens of masked killers dressed in black appeared at the door of the house.
