Chapter 220 Awesome
Not to mention, Mr. Han is still quite famous. The higher-ups asked him to transfer from the Dali Temple back to the Censorate, and he has recently brought down many people with bad reputations.
Several people in the martial arts world would not fully believe Shen Lingzhu's guarantee, but after Shen Chi came out again to endorse it, they believed it completely.
In addition, the father and daughter personally accompanied them to Baozhou Prefecture, hired a strong lawyer, and gave them several hundred taels of silver. The few people thanked them again and again and left.
Shen Lingzhu dragged Mr. Chi and walked him twenty miles before he breathed a sigh of relief. "It looks like this isn't a trap."
Shen Chi: "The Guo family is a legitimate descendant of Xingyiquan and has always been upright."
"So we have to steal a living person from the prison?" Shen Lingzhu felt that Mr. Chi had a built-in filter.
Stunned by her question, Shen Chi angrily pushed her back into the carriage and asked, "Are we going home or are we going to look around in the shops in the city?"
"Fucheng." Since he was here once, he would check the accounts with his seventh uncle. Besides, Shen Lingzhu hadn't eaten the food cooked by his grandfather for a long time, so he was craving for it.
It was an hour later when the father and son entered the city again.
When Shen Lingzhu heard someone selling jelly, she called out to her father who was driving the car and jumped out to buy some.
As soon as I squeezed into the crowd, someone came running and dispersed the people in front, and someone behind me shouted "Catch the thief!"
Shen Lingzhu didn't understand the situation and didn't get involved. When she stepped back, a locked box fell out of the bag of the person rushing towards her and landed at her feet.
She subconsciously looked up to see who it was and wanted to call its owner to pick it up, but she found that the people chasing her were dressed the same as the group of people who had killed her donkey last time.
And one of them was exactly the same as she had drawn last time.
Did the item belong to Shi Wulang's men? Sorry, I won't interfere any more.
Shen Lingzhu quickly hid the box under her skirt. Since she lived with her mother, she was often told to wear skirts.
When Shen Chi came running to find her, she bent her hand to make him lower his head and whispered softly, "Dad, bring the vegetable basket from the cart. It will be useful."
"Come with me to get it." Shen Chi looked at the crowd that was either dispersing or crowding, but he didn't know where the jelly stall his daughter had found had gone.
"Dad, there's something under my feet." Shen Lingzhu had to explain, "I'll take it away and tell you about it later."
Shen Chi only thought about it for a moment before returning to the car to get the basket and covering the little girl's belongings before putting them in the basket. On the way, after learning who the belongings belonged to, he simply said, "It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road."
When we arrived at Hu Ji Food Shop, it was the busiest time for lunch.
They just greeted Uncle Qi who was welcoming them and went around to the back gate.
But a moment later, the father and daughter carried the basket to the room in the yard. Shen Lingzhu hesitated a little: "Do you want to see it?"
"Look, I can't give it to the thief or the one chasing him." Shen Chi opened it without any burden. "If it's a banknote, I'll take it to other provinces to spend it."
He was holding something that wasn't heavy, so it probably wasn't gold, silver, or bamboo treasure. "It's probably something made of paper."
Shen Lingzhu agreed with this statement, but when she thought of breaking it open with force, she was stopped by Mr. Chi.
He said, "Let me open it." As he spoke, he took out a thin hairpin from his purse, inserted it into the lock, and with a click, the lock opened.
"Dad, you are so awesome." Shen Lingzhu had never expected this.
Shen Chi raised his eyebrows: "Don't you care who I am? Your father still has many tricks up his sleeve."
"What method?" Grandpa Huang Shouchuan asked while standing under the window.
"Dad, your son-in-law is here to see you." Shen Chi stood up and opened the door to greet him.
Grandpa Huang Shouchuan didn't even look at him. His precious daughter became ill because of him, and he hadn't found a chance to settle the score yet.
Shen Lingzhu leaned over to the window and waved at him: "Grandpa, aren't you busy now?
I'm covered in dust, so it's not easy for me to come into the kitchen to see you."
Huang Shouchuan smiled kindly in the blink of an eye: "The kitchen is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter. You can't be the first to break the rules set by Dazhuzi.
Let me ask you what you want to eat and make it for you."
Shen Lingzhu listed several dishes in succession. Her grandfather asked her to prepare the meal and turned back to continue cooking.
"Your grandpa is angry with me. I have to find a way to comfort him more." Shen Chi returned to the house and sat down thoughtfully.
Shen Lingzhu didn't offer any rash advice. She gently opened the box and found only a letter inside. It was addressed to Uncle and signed with a small, "Dad, look."
She shook it in front of Master Chi. Shen Chi took it without looking at the envelope. He took out a flat hairpin from his purse again and opened the envelope in three or five strokes.
Then he pulled out the letter and started reading it, and soon his brows furrowed.
Shen Lingzhu felt a little uneasy. She walked to the opposite side to watch together, and only saw the words "My Shi family's military achievements, the current emperor is unkind... great things can be planned."
"Xiao Zhuzi, don't look at it." Shen Chi found her standing next to him and immediately closed the letter?
Shen Lingzhu looked out the window and saw that there was no one in the courtyard. She lowered her voice and said, "I've already seen the key point. Which nephew of the Duke of Zhong is it? Dad, he's having second thoughts."
"Light it up and burn it." This was Shen Chi's first reaction.
But now it was Shen Lingzhu's turn to stop him: "No, you have to hand it over."
"Silly girl, it can't even reach the emperor, but it can become our death warrant.
That bag thief is in great danger." Shen Chi's frown deepened.
"I mean, give it to the right person." Shen Lingzhu thought of Chen Ru, Captain Chen.
The reason why she didn't choose Grandma Ding's family in the shop was that she was not sure whether Captain Chen was really on the emperor's side.
"Should we write to County Magistrate Wang? Or should we write a letter to invite Mr. Han to come?" She really wanted to discuss this with her senior sister.
But he couldn't bring the letter and the unknown danger home, "Dad, why don't we go to Beijing."
"No, maybe they are searching at the city gate now." Shen Chi thought more.
Shen Lingzhu asked: "Do they dare? The investigation is also done in secret.
If we take advantage of this opportunity to enter Beijing, they will surely not be able to react in time."
"I have to think about it. This Biao, is..." Shen Chi dipped his hand in the tea and wrote the four big words "General of Datong" on the table.
Shen Lingzhu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was an important town for the government troops. They could advance directly to Zhili and retreat to the vast grassland. The Shi family had such ambition. Was it because the emperor above didn't notice, or was it intentional?
The father and daughter did not reach a consensus, and when they heard their grandfather calling them to eat, no one moved.
The kitchen in the back made two servings of fried rice for the guests, but they weren't thinking about the next step until grandpa came to call them.
Shen Lingzhu woke up: "Grandpa, I'll be right there."
There was unrest on their side, and those who hadn't caught the thief on the other side were also blaming each other and fighting among themselves.
Once the trust is lost, it is lost. They can't make it back. Going back to accept the punishment is absolutely impossible because it means losing their lives.
So when Shen Lingzhu and Mr. Chi were worried, these smart people bought another box of the same kind, put a piece of rice paper with a tiger painted on it in it, and sent it to the capital.
In the afternoon, Shen Chi accompanied his father-in-law to buy ingredients. When he saw the fishmonger killing fish, he suddenly made up his mind.
When he came back, he said to Shen Lingzhu, "Bring the token Mr. Han gave you. I will take the letter to Beijing.
If there is any bad news, you and grandpa will go back and take your family into the mountains."
