Chapter 1378

Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "the price is not a problem, as long as I like it." Then he asked, "is there any better silk?"

The bartender nodded repeatedly and said, "yes, yes, yes. As long as the general doesn't care about the price, even the top-grade silk and satin shop has stocks. Do you want to see it now, general? "

"Of course." Cheng Jinyang said.

"The general will have to wait a moment. The villain will pick it up in the back and come back soon." With these words, the bartender went downstairs.

After he left, Gao Mucheng looked at Cheng Jin and asked in a low voice, "general, do you think there is something unusual here?"

Cheng Jin shook his head slightly, looked around and said, "this is an ordinary silk and satin shop, nothing unusual."

Gao Mu Cheng turned his eyes and said, "when the waiter comes back, I'll try him out again."

Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him puzzled. He didn't know how he was going to try. He didn't ask him more.

After a short time, the bartender returned with a well-dressed middle-aged man and two young men dressed as servants. The middle-aged man, who was the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop, also knew Gao Mucheng. When he came to the second floor, he burst forward with a smile on his face. He bowed to the ground and said, "I don't know it's General Gao's coming. It's a long way to welcome him." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Cheng Jin and asked, "I don't know if this adult is"

before Cheng Jin can answer, Gao Mucheng has already introduced him: "my brother's surname is Cheng. He is a person around the king and a high-ranking official. Don't neglect the manager."

"Villains dare not, villains dare not!" The manager repeatedly arched his hands, nodded and bowed.

Gao Mucheng smiles and waves his hand and says, "the shopkeeper, sit with my brother. I'll pick out some kinds of silk."

"Good, good, good, General Gao can choose. If there is a suitable one, the shop will sell it to General Gao at the cost. Ah, and this Lord Cheng."

"Ha ha!" Gao Mucheng laughed and praised: "it's still the shopkeeper who can be a man." With these words, he went to the counter and said to the bartender, "little brother, help me introduce you. It's good and cheap."

"General Gao, don't worry, villains will help the general to choose the best quality and cheapest."

"That's good." Gao Mucheng answered, and then casually asked, "did you hear about the assassination of the king last night?"

The shopkeeper was in charge of it subconsciously. He nodded his head and said, "the villain has heard of such a big thing. I don't know if the assassin has been caught?"

Gao Mucheng waved and said, "not yet. Let the assassin run away." After a pause, he pointed to a piece of silk and praised, "this one is good, smooth and beautiful."

"In general Gao's good eyes, many guests like this one, but the price is a little bit expensive." The bartender said with difficulty.

"Forget it, my monthly salary is far less than that of my brother." With that, he took a glance at Cheng Jin, and then asked, "by the way, do you have any spiritual practitioners in your shop recently?"

The bartender didn't even think about it. He blurted out, "no!"

Gao Mucheng's hand was obviously stiff when he was playing with silk and satin. Then he laughed and asked, "you are not a spiritual practitioner, and you don't have insight into the art. How can you know that there must be no spiritual cultivator among the customers?"

"This" shopkeeper didn't expect that his casual reply was caught by Gao Mucheng. He hesitated and didn't know how to answer. He kept noticing that the shopkeeper on their side frowned. He came forward and slapped the bartender hard on the back of the bartender's head and scolded him: "I don't understand anything. What's nonsense?" he said with an apologetic smile "General Gao, I'm not very sensible. If there's something wrong, please don't blame general Gao."

Gao Mucheng looked up with a smile and said, "I just asked casually. If you find anyone suspicious, you must report it to the county capital as soon as possible, understand? "

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain must pay close attention. "

At this time, Cheng Jin also came over and selected several kinds of high-quality silk and satin. After paying the silver, he left with Gao Mucheng. When they got out of the silk grange, they walked out of a distance, then winked at each other and got into an alley by the side of the road.

Cheng Jin took as like as two peas of the silkworm Zhuang found the broken silver, and Gao Mucheng picked up the broken silver before. He didn't immediately express his position, but asked Gao Mucheng, "General Gao, what do you feel?"

"On the surface, it seems that there is no problem with the silk shop, but there is always something wrong with it," Gao said

"Yes! I feel the same way. " Cheng Jinnan said: "maybe, this is intuition! You say that the boss of silk and satin shop is called "Meng Ping An!"

"Do you live in the county town?"

"Yes, just east of the city."

"At midnight tonight, go and search it, and by the way, check to see if your or my intuition is wrong." Cheng Jin looks at the broken silver in the hand, you you say.

Gao Mucheng said with a puzzled look: "general Cheng, master Meng has a good friendship with the county head. Once the soldiers are sent to search, they are afraid that they will alarm the other party and prepare them. Moreover, the chief of the county may not agree.""Hum!" Cheng Jin sneered and said, "just the head of a county, how can he allow him to destroy me? I'll borrow my brother from the general dance. "

"That's the best." Gao Mucheng put his heart down. If there was a direct army going out, there would be no such resistance as Wang song. Moreover, the army under the direct command was much stronger than the county army, and it was more certain that the army under the direct command would come forward.

There was no word in the evening. When Zishi arrived, Cheng Jin, with 20000 soldiers directly under his command, led the way from Gao Mucheng to Meng Ping'an's house.

Meng Ping'an is a well-known rich man in Changdu and even the whole Zeping county. His family is big and his business is great. Even if he compares the capital of the county with that of Zeping County, he looks inferior to him.

However, no matter how large the house of the Meng family was, it could not withstand the siege of 20000 troops. After 20000 soldiers under the direct command arrived at the Meng family mansion, they immediately surrounded the house on the third floor and the third floor outside the house. When you look up, you can see that the light bulb, torch and pine make the outside of the house as bright as day. If it is large, it looks like it is trapped in a fire pot.

Suddenly there was so much noise outside that the people inside could not be unaware of it. Soon, a servant opened the door of the house and looked at it. When the housekeeper saw the sea of soldiers outside, he was scared to the ground. Without saying a word, he closed the door of the house and ran inside to report to Meng Ping'an.

Cheng Jin and Gao Mucheng can see clearly. The former sneers and shouts, saying: "knock on the door. If no one answers, you can smash the house door to me directly!"

"Yes The sergeant directly under his command stepped forward in a big stride, turned his fists and smashed at the door of the house. At the same time, he yelled: "open the door, open the door! If we don't open the door, we'll smash it! "

After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. The sergeant directly under his command was furious, swearing and murmuring: "Damn it, you don't eat, eat or punish me for drinking!" As he spoke, he waved to his companions and said, "smash the door!"

As he yelled, a dozen or so strong men of the wind army came over with hammers. The hammer is a pile on the top and a stake hanging below. When it is used, people pull the pile below and use thrust and inertia to produce impact force. It is similar to the thunderbolt car which breaks the city gate, but it is lighter and can be carried by human.

Under the strong impact of the hammer, the door of the house quickly became rickety. Just then, someone inside yelled: "stop it! Stop it "

when someone yelled, the soldiers in front of the door pulled the wooden pile and stopped the impact. Then, the door of the house was opened and a large group of servants and guards came out of the house. One of the leaders was an old man. He looked more than 60 years old, with gray hair and beard, but he was well maintained. His face was covered with red light and no wrinkles could be seen on his face.

Seeing the old man, Gao Mucheng's eyes lit up and whispered to Cheng Jin, "general Cheng, that old man is Meng Ping'an."

Cheng Jin did not answer, but looked up and down with cold and gloomy eyes, and nodded his head slowly at the same time.

The old man was obviously a man who had seen the world. When he came out, he saw so many soldiers outside. He didn't feel any nervous on his face. He bowed his hands around him calmly and asked, "old man Meng Ping'an, I don't know what you can do for your late night visit?"

"We're going to search for the assassin!" A wind soldier captain cold voice back.

"Assassin? Where is the assassin from my family? There must be some misunderstanding in this The old man laughed at the leader of the wind force and said, "besides, I have been searched several times in my house. If there are assassins hidden in my house, I would have been found out sooner."

"Don't talk too much! Whether there are assassins or not, you can't say it. Get out of the way The leader of Fengbing was not polite at all. He waved his hand vigorously to push the old man horizontally. If the servants around him didn't move fast enough and hold the old man in time, he would fall to the ground on the spot.

"Bold!" The old man was so angry that his face turned red. He said in a angry voice, "I have a deep friendship with the sheriff. When you wait for me to have trouble in my home, once you are known by the county head, I'm afraid it will be too much to eat and go!"

Without waiting for the wind soldiers around to answer, Cheng Jin behind him was laughing on his back. He urged his horse to come forward, strangled the reins of his horse in front of the old man, looked down at the old man for a moment, and said, "do you think that if you get to know the head of the county, you will have the gold medal for avoiding death? Today, even if you move the heavenly king and Laozi out, we will not miss it! " Speaking, he waved to the wind soldiers around him.

All the wind soldiers obeyed orders, and people swarmed forward.

Seeing this, the old man immediately opened his arms and stopped Zhongfeng's soldiers. Then he raised his head and said in a trembling voice to Cheng Jin: "this general, don't be too deceiving. If you want to search the old house, you can find the county head or take the commander's instructions!"
