Chapter 119.2: 趙家
[Zhao Family]
Those shopkeepers glanced at each other and didn’t dare to say much, they saluted and went down.
Only when all of them had left did the young man who was outside walk in, and as soon as he saw Elder Master Zhao, he anxiously opened his mouth, “Master, it’s not good!!!”
Master Zhao raised an eyebrow at him, a mean expression appeared on his face that didn’t have much meat on it, his tone carried a few hints of arrogance, “What are you panicking about? What is there for you to be so panicked about?”
The young man waved his hand anxiously, knowing that the old master had misunderstood his meaning, so he hurriedly said, “Old master, you asked me to investigate where those people had gone, but I have not been able to find out. Today, I managed to find out where they were, only to find out that they were all sent to the court.”
“What?!” The originally calm Zhao Lao Ye, after hearing his words, changed his expression for a few moments, and then said, “I thought you couldn’t find the person, so how could they be in Yamen?”
“That young man obviously did not know what happened. He could only look at his Master as he said to him the things he found out one by one, “I also do not know what happened, at that time, they followed Master’s command to intercept the two bosses of the shop, to give them a lesson. The lesson was given, but the men disappeared with them. After that, I kept my people watching those two, wanting to see how they disappeared.
Who knows, this staring down nothing staring down, and did not find their traces. Today, I know that they are in the government office. My distant relative told me that recently, in the government office, there was a group of people, yet did not say what the offense was. I was moved and I ran over to take a look, and eventually realized that it was them, and that’s how I found out.”
After listening to the young man’s account, Zhao Lao Ye’s expression obviously became a little more difficult to read, looking at him with a little bit of dissatisfaction, “You’ve seen the people, and you didn’t even ask them how they got in?”
The young man’s originally agitated expression stagnated, and his voice became a little more guarded, “Master, the officials were watching closely at the time, so I didn’t say anything for fear of leaking the news.”
Old Master Zhao glared at him, looking at the writing brush hanging on the table, his eyes were gloomy; didn’t know what he was thinking. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something, his face became more and more ugly, he raised his eyes towards the youth and commanded, “You quickly go and think of a way to see those people again, ask them how they got in, and where they went during the period of time they disappeared.”
“Yes.” The young man listened to Zhao Master instructions and didn’t dare to delay any longer, he said goodbye to Master Zhao and then hurriedly prepared to push the door and leave.
Master Zhao stared at his back as he left, his face awfully gloomy, but then he saw the young man who had originally left, step by step, back again, with some stiffness in his movements, and he shouted at the young man in displeasure: “What’s wrong with you?”
The young man turned his head to look at Master Zhao, and with a look on his face that was worse than crying, he shivered as he said, “Master, the officials, the officials, the officials are here.”
Before Master Zhao could finish digesting his meaning, he only saw a hand suddenly reach out from outside the door and pushed the young man aside, immediately revealing a tall man in Yamen uniform, who said towards the stunned Master Zhao, “Master Zhao, our Country Magistrate has an invitation, please come with us.”
After Chen Xing and Gu Lang decided to hire a guard, they began to discuss where to hire a guard.
After two days of discussion, they finally decided to go to a broker house; middleman in the city first and ask if there was anyone suitable for the job. If not, they went to the Biao Ju (professional organization which provided armed escorts or bodyguards) to see if there were any retired dart masters who were willing to be their bodyguards.
On this day, Chen Xing and Gu Lang woke up early and finished their breakfast at home, then after staring at Gu Lang, they tidied it up and went out together.
However, Chen Xing has not gone out far yet, directly stopped by the oncoming officials.
Chen Xing looked at the officials who stopped them, a few puzzled looks appeared on his face. He felt that he had not done anything wrong, so he did not care about the official’s action stopping them, but only a little curious about why they wanted to stop him and Gu Lang.
When he saw the officials and was stopped for a moment, Gu Lang first turned his head to look at Chen Xing, after seeing that he did not have any abnormalities, then he looked at the officials in front of him and said courteously, “I wonder what is the matter with all the officials here?”
Seeing that Gu Lang was so polite, that official also returned a salute to Gu Lang, and then said politely, “Your Excellency is too polite. We came here today because we found out the outcome about the attack on Gu Juren some time ago, so we have come to ask both of you to go and confront them. Please come with us!
Hearing the officials’ words, Gu Lang acted with extraordinarily calmness, and gently nodded his head, “Thank you and sorry for troubling you guys.”
After saying that, he took Chen Xing’s hand and walked with the officials in the direction of the government office.
Along the way, Chen Xing was in a daze, letting Gu Lang lead him, until he arrived at the government office and saw the familiar plaque, he only came back to his senses. He really wasn’t dreaming, those who hurt him and Gu Lang were really caught by the government so quickly!
Chen Xing’s heart was beating violently, and he didn’t know what he was excited about. Then quickly adjusted over, trying to let himself calm down, now he only wants to know, in the end, who has such a big deep hatred for them? To treat them like that?
