Zheng Xiong wrapped the paper ball on the ground in something, picked it up, and placed it on the desk. Zheng Xiong made no further moves.
It's late at night, so it's not a good time to cause trouble. Let's talk about it the next day! sleep.
The hard-working Mao Xiang spent the whole night checking and filling in the gaps for Zheng Xiong.
Fortunately, there is such a thing as a curfew, so not many people come out to do errands.
Wang Tongzhou and some people were monitored by Mao Xiang again. The night was relatively quiet, but Mao Xiang did not fall asleep the whole night.
The next day, with bloodshot eyes, Mao Xiang asked the person next to him.
"How was last night? Did anyone come out to act like a monster?"
"No, almost no one goes out at night. In the early morning, except for the officials who have to go to court early, they only come out to pour night fragrance."
"Everyone should be up now. I will send more people to keep an eye on them."
After listening, Mao Xiang nodded.
"Did you get the message to Zheng Fuyin last night?"
"Here we go, make sure Zheng Fuyin hears the noise and sees the thing before our people leave. There should be nothing wrong."
Seeing that the arrangements were in place and no accidents occurred, Mao Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You also arrange for two people to be guarded by Zheng Fuyin. If there is any change in them, they must report to me."
"promise."
Not to mention Mao Xiang’s intense arrangements.
Zheng Xiong still took his time, tidied up his appearance, and finished breakfast.
After the chores were taken care of, Zheng Xiong looked at the paper ball.
I took a look at it yesterday, and it was all a list of gambling houses.
Today, it looks much thicker and very detailed.
But with this thickness, it can't be compared with the list provided to him by the police.
This actually made Zheng Xiong show a little curiosity and simply wanted to see the data.
More than a hundred lists, ranging in size from large to small.
The large one has hundreds of people, and the small one has only dozens of people.
With the list in mind, Zheng Xiong took out a bamboo tube from the side, stuffed the note into it, and took it with him.
When the younger sister Zheng Xiu saw Zheng Xiong preparing to go out, she quickly approached Zheng Xiong.
"Brother, the pharmacy is recruiting people today, are you really not going to go?"
"How about you stay with me? I'm afraid!"
Normally, he would have agreed and brought him along, but he just used this matter as a cover, so he said meaningfully to Zheng Xiu.
"I'm having a hard time today. I have to go to the government office for work."
"If you are afraid, ask your aunt and mother to go with you, and I will not accompany you."
Zheng Xiu is not necessarily afraid, but Zheng Xiong, as the head of the pharmacy, is somewhat different from Zheng Xiong.
Hearing this, he was slightly disappointed, but quickly regained his composure.
"Okay! I'll go by myself. Anyway, today I just go there to identify myself, but you have to accompany me tomorrow."
Zheng Xiong replied noncommittally.
"decide as things go!"
Well, there is no hope in being so perfunctory. Zheng Xiu snorted gloomily and left.
Zheng Xiong shook his head and left the house.
The journey back to the government office was leisurely and leisurely.
As soon as he sat down, he called the head catcher and said to him.
"Gather together the arrest squad and tell them that they are here to work, and they will set off with me immediately."
The head catcher seemed to have expected it and replied to Zheng Xiong confidently.
"In addition to the twenty people who are bound to attend official duties in Ying Tian Mansion, they are not here. The remaining one hundred and eighty people are all in the government office, waiting for your orders."
Zheng Xiong immediately gave the order as he had told the head catcher before and now that he was not disappointed.
"Okay, tell them to gather at the door. I will be waiting for them at the door."
"promise."
A dark group of people swaggered through the market.
When Zheng Xiong first came to catch gamblers, he saw such a group of
When people come, they stay away from each other.
Now Zheng Xiong is showing off again, but he is getting a completely different treatment.
Regardless of Zheng Xiong's original reputation, this gambling incident also made Zheng Xiong famous.
It has a good reputation. After they found out who was coming, all the people watching looked like they were eating melons.
"Zheng Fuyin took someone out again. Guess why this time?"
"Why else? This battle is the same as last time. In my opinion, it's still a gamble."
"That's not necessarily true. The people behind the gambling den are very tough. Zheng Fuyin came here last time, how can he still offend people again and again?"
He still had an expression on his face, but as soon as he said these words, he immediately aroused refutation from others.
"Although what you said makes sense, Zheng Fuyin is not comparable to others. Such a harmful thing should be caught."
Zheng Xiong, however, did not watch the others quarreling, but rushed to the Bingma Division without stopping.
Wang Tongzhou was also prepared. After all, Zheng Xiong had already come to say hello.
As soon as they met, Zheng Xiong went straight to the topic and discussed with Wang Tongzhou in the lobby of the Military and Horse Department.
After both parties sat down, Zheng Xiong took out the bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Tongzhou.
Wang Tongzhou looked at Zheng Xiong with a puzzled expression, as if to ask what this was.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiong motioned for it to open.
Wang Tongzhou could only obey the instructions, took out the paper ball from the bamboo tube, and looked at it carefully.
I didn't feel it at first, but after reading it I broke out in a cold sweat.
There were more than a hundred gambling houses, and he knew a rough idea, but the list given by Zheng Xiong was unusually detailed.
The error is also very small, basically the same.
Such a list is difficult to collect for someone who is not deeply rooted in it, but I have never heard of Zheng Xiong having such a relationship.
Wang Tongzhou could only think that Zheng Xiong must have had this idea a long time ago, otherwise it would never have been such a coincidence. Unexpectedly, this young man was so scheming that everyone was deceived by his age.
Fortunately, I was prepared and notified in advance. Even if the matter was revealed, I would not have no explanation.
There are so many gambling houses, so it makes sense to run away from two of them!
"Sir, there are too many gambling dens on this list. Our Army and Horse Division can provide 2,000 people, but it is not enough!"
"Every family comes here because they are afraid that the news will leak out and they will run away."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xiong was also a little embarrassed.
Only two thousand people are indeed a bit small. A hundred gambling houses can each be divided into twenty.
There are hundreds of gamblers in the gambling den, and if twenty people come out, even if they can win, there will be too many people to catch.
And it's even more impossible for people to come from one family to another. It's impossible for others to not run away if they know they're here to catch him.
Just as Zheng Xiong was struggling, there was a noisy sound outside the door.
After a while, a person walked in from outside the door and looked at Wang Tongzhou and Zheng Xiong.
As if his identity was confirmed, he saluted Zheng Xiong and said.
"May I ask, but in front of the doctor?"
Zheng Xiong saw that the visitor was wearing a military attache's uniform. He didn't know why, but he confirmed his identity.
"I am, who are you and what do you want?"
Seeing that Zheng Xiong had confirmed his identity, the visitor did not hesitate to reveal his purpose.
"The last general Wang Xing, under the orders of the governor, came to listen to the orders of the marquis."
