V2.Chapter 491

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 waiter nodded again and again and said, "yes, yes, yes, as long as the general... Doesn't care about the price. Even the top silk and satin, our silk and satin shop has inventory. Do you want to see it now?"

"Of course." Cheng Jinyang said.

"Well... The general has to wait a moment. The villain goes to the back to get it and comes back right away." As he spoke, the waiter slipped downstairs.

After he left, Gao Mucheng looked at Cheng Jin and asked in a low voice, "general, do you see anything unusual here?"

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

Gao Mucheng turned his eyes and said, "when the waiter comes back, I'll test him again."

Cheng Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Mu Cheng in a puzzled way. She didn't know how he planned to test. She didn't ask much.

The middle-aged young man and the second young man didn't dress well at the same time. The middle-aged man was the shopkeeper of the silk and satin villa. He also knew Gao Mucheng. When he came to the second floor, he smiled all over his face. He stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground and said, "I don't know if General Gao is coming. It's too far to welcome!" As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Jin and asked, "I don't know if this adult is..."

Without waiting for Cheng Jin's answer, Gao Mucheng introduced: "my brother, surnamed Cheng, is not only a person around the king, but also a senior official in a prominent position. The shopkeeper should not neglect it."

"Villains dare not, villains dare not!" The shopkeeper bowed his hands, nodded and bowed.

Gao Mucheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "the shopkeeper will sit with my brother. I'll choose some kinds of silk."

"Good, good, good. General Gao can choose the right one. The small shop will sell it to General Gao at cost. Ah, and Lord Cheng."

"Ha ha!" Gao Mucheng laughed and praised: "the shopkeeper can be a man!" Then he went to the counter and said to the waiter, "little brother, help me introduce that one. It's good and cheap."

The waiter hurriedly said, "General Gao, don't worry. The villain will help the general choose the best one at the best price."

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

The waiter was worried, subconsciously looked at him, nodded and said, "of course, 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 silk and satin and said, "this one is good, smooth and beautiful."

"General Gao has a good eye. Many guests like this one, but the price is a little more expensive." The bartender said with a look of embarrassment.

"Forget it, my monthly salary is far less than my brother." As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Jin and then asked, "by the way, do you have any discerning spiritual practitioners in your store recently?"

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

Gao Mucheng's hands fiddling with silk and satin were obviously stiff. Then he smiled and asked, "you're not a spiritual cultivator, and you don't know the art of insight. How do you know that there must be no spiritual cultivator among customers?"

"This..." the waiter didn't expect that his casual reply was caught by Gao Mucheng. He hesitated and didn't know how to answer. He always noticed that the shopkeeper on their side frowned, came forward, slapped the waiter on the back of the head and scolded: "don't understand anything, what are you talking about?!" Then he smiled apologetically at Gao Mucheng and said, "General Gao, the boy is not very sensible. If there is anything wrong, I hope General Gao won't be surprised."

Gao Mucheng smiled up and said, "I'm just asking casually. If you find someone suspicious, you must report it to the county capital at the first time, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Villains must pay careful attention."

At this time, Cheng Jin also came over and chose some superior silk and satins. After paying the money, he left with Gao Mucheng. When they got out of the silk and satin shop, they walked a distance, winked at each other and got into a small alley by the side of the road.

Cheng Jin took out as like as two peas of silver that he had found in the silk and Zhuang Zhuang, and Gao Mucheng picked up the broken silver before. Instead of making an immediate statement, he asked Gao Mucheng, "General Gao, how do you feel?"

"On the surface, there seems to be no problem with the silk and satin villa, but there is always a feeling that something is wrong," Gao said

"That's right! I feel the same way." Cheng Jinnan said, "maybe this is intuition! You say the boss of the silk and satin shop is..."

"Meng Ping'an!"

"Do you live in County town?"

"Yes, just east of the city."

"At midnight tonight, go search it and verify it by the way to see if your intuition and mine are wrong." Cheng Jin looked at the broken silver in his hand and said faintly.

Gao Mucheng said with an embarrassed face: "general Cheng, master Meng has a good relationship with the head of the county. Once he sends troops to search, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he will alarm the other party early and make him prepare. Moreover, the head of the county may not agree."

"Hum!" Cheng Jin sneered and said, "it's just the head of a county. How can he spoil me? I'll borrow my brother from general Wu."

"So best." Gao Mucheng was relieved that there would be no resistance from Wang song if there was a direct army. Moreover, the direct army was much stronger than the county army, and it was more confident for the direct army to come forward.

There was nothing to say at night. When Zishi arrived, Cheng Jin took 20000 soldiers directly under him, led by Gao Mucheng, and went straight to Meng Ping'an's house.

Meng Ping'an is a famous rich man in Changdu and even the whole Zeping county. His family and business are large, and his mansion is also surprisingly large. Even if the county capital is compared, it is dwarfed.

However, no matter how big the Meng family's house is, it can't withstand the siege of 20000 troops. Twenty thousand soldiers directly under the army rushed to the Meng family mansion and immediately surrounded the house on the inner and outer floors. There was no traffic. Looking up, the lamp ball, torch and Liangzi Chinese pine lit up the outside of the Meng family mansion as bright as day. If it was a big house, it seemed to be caught in a brazier.

There was such a big noise outside that the people inside couldn't be unaware. Soon, a servant opened a crack in the house door and looked at it. When the servant saw the crowd of soldiers outside, he was so frightened that he turned back and ran inside without saying a word. He reported to Meng Ping'an.

Cheng Jin and Gao Mucheng could see clearly. The former sneered, shouted around and said, "knock on the door. If no one answers, break the door directly to me!"

"Yes!" The sergeant directly under him stepped in and took orders. He took turns to smash his fists at the house door. At the same time, he shouted, "open the door, open the door! If we don't open the door again, we'll smash the door!"

After knocking for a long time, I didn't see anyone coming to open the door. The directly subordinate sergeant was angry and scolded and muttered, "Damn, toast and don't drink!" As he spoke, he waved to his companions and said, "smash the door!"

As he shouted, a dozen strong men of the wind army came over with hammers. The hammer is a wooden pile on the top and a wooden pile hanging below. When in use, people pull the wooden pile below and use thrust and inertia to produce impact force. It has the same principle as the thunderbolt car designed to break the city gate, but it is lighter and can be carried by manpower.

Under the strong impact of the hammer, the house door soon became shaky. At this time, someone inside shouted, "stop! Stop --"

Hearing someone shouting, Sergeant Feng in front of the door grabbed the stake and stopped the impact. Then, the door of the house was opened and a large group of servants and guards ran out of the house. The first one was a famous old man. He looked more than 60 years old and had gray beard, but he was well maintained. His face was red and shining, and he couldn't even see a wrinkle on his face.

Seeing the old man, Gao Mucheng brightened his eyes and whispered to Cheng Jin: "general Cheng, that old man is Meng Ping'an."

Cheng Jin didn't answer, but looked up and down at the old man with cold and gloomy eyes, and nodded 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. There was no slightest tension on his face. He calmly arched his hands around and asked, "old Meng Ping'an, I don't know if you military masters are visiting late at night. What can I do for you?"

"We're going to search the assassin!" A wind soldier captain replied coldly.

"Assassin? Where is the assassin from my family? There must be a misunderstanding!" The old man smiled at the captain of the wind soldier and said, "besides, the old man's home has been searched several times. If there were an assassin, he would have been found out sooner!"

"Don't be wordy! If there is an assassin, you don't count. Get out of the way!" The wind soldier captain was not polite at all. He waved hard and pushed the old man horizontally. If the surrounding servants didn't move fast enough to hold the old man in time, he would fall to the ground on the spot.

"Bold!" The old man's face turned red with anger and said angrily, "I have a deep friendship with the head of the county. If you wait until something happens in the old man's home, once the head of the county knows it, I'm afraid you'll have to go out of your pocket!"

Before the wind soldiers around answered, Cheng Jin behind him laughed on his back, urged his horse to come forward, reined in the rein of the war 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 have a death free gold medal? Today, even if you move out the king of heaven, we can't miss it!" As he spoke, he waved to the soldiers around him.

The wind soldiers obeyed orders, and people rushed forward in a swarm.

Seeing this, the old man immediately opened his arms and stopped Sergeant Zhongfeng. Then he looked up and said to Cheng Jin in a trembling voice: "the general should not deceive people too much. If you insist on searching the old house, find the head of the county or take the head of the county's written instructions!"
