Chapter 345 345 Captured
During the day, Gardener Jiang couldn't see anything unusual, and he worked diligently. He kept watching him for several days without seeing any unusual movements. Until August 29, a salesman's cries were heard outside the back garden, and Gardener Jiang heard Then he looked around nervously.
In the middle of Haishi, Guyu and Xinghua turned out all the lights in the yard, leaving only a lamp in the corner of the verandah. After half an hour, only the snoring of Dahua and Xiaobai could be heard in the yard, and even on the street It also became deserted.
It was pitch dark in the garden, and the wind was gently blowing the flowers and leaves in the back garden, making the shadows look a bit scary. Yan Niang stood by the golden bamboo forest next to the servant's room, quietly looking at the room with the oil lamp on. The servant's room seems to be one with Jinzhu.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the lights in the room went out. A dozen breaths later, the thin ginger gardener appeared at the door, looked around warily, and quickly walked towards the back door of the garden.
Yan Niang followed him and watched him open the small door and go out, close the door and leave. Yan Niang jumped out of the wall and followed him in circles to a house in Lantern Lane, Beicheng. They knocked three times, the door opened, and Gardener Jiang stepped in.
Yan Niang waited outside for a while. After a while, she heard the sound of footsteps and jumped into the courtyard. She came to the lighted window quietly like a ghost and listened quietly to the voices inside.
A man said angrily, "These days, people in the imperial court are looking around like dogs. Lao Jiang, you feel safe living in the yamen."
"Why is it safe? My wife is back. I searched several times but couldn't find anything useful. I was surprised. I didn't find anything at his house. Except for a few pieces of jewelry from my wife, there wasn't even any valuable treasure." I've seen it before." Jiang Huajiang said in annoyance.
"Madam, madam, from your tone, it's not bad to live in his house! Are you being bribed by that dog official?"
"You," Jiang Huajiang stood up angrily. The kind-looking man sitting next to him pulled Jiang Huajiang and persuaded him: "Forget it, he has been upset and angry these days."
Jiang Huajiang looked at the sturdy man in front of him and said angrily: "For Uncle Huang's sake, I won't argue with you."
The sturdy man looked at Gardener Jiang and said, "I told you to find the blueprints. You have been working in the backyard of the government office for so long and you haven't found anything useful. If you can't help it, tie up the son of the dog official and force him to hand over the city defense map." .”
Jiang Huajiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Uncle Huang, "Uncle Huang, do we really want to do this?"
Uncle Huang looked at him and nodded helplessly, "I can only do this as a last resort. Let you find out what your wife is doing. How are you doing?"
"I asked several people who followed them to Yunzhou, but I couldn't find out anything. I only know that my wife's natal family is from Qingshan Township. I can't find out anything else. If I ask any more, the secret will be revealed." Jiang Huajiang finished speaking. He glanced at Uncle Huang and smiled flatteringly, "Uncle Huang, how is Qiaogu?"
Uncle Huang smiled and glanced at Gardener Jiang, "Okay! I'll ask her to find you tomorrow night. When you go back, you can search carefully to see if there is a secret room or something in the back office. If it doesn't work, just tie up the kid. Isn't that what he has in his house?" A child?”
Jiang Huajiang heard that he would be asked to see Qiaogu in two days, and he responded happily, "Okay, this is what I'll do if I can't find her again."
The stout man looked at Jiang Gardener with contempt in his eyes. Uncle Huang stood up with a smile, "Okay, let's break up! Come back next time when I give you news."
Yan Niang was hiding in the dark and saw Lao Huang, Jiang Gardener and a stout man walking out of the house. Lao Huang opened the courtyard door and went out to look around. After returning to the house, he nodded to the two of them and they walked away quickly. After getting out, Lao Huang returned to the courtyard and closed the door. A beautiful and charming woman walked out of the wing. Lao Huang told her: "Qiao Xiu, go see Lao Jiang tomorrow night."
Qiaoxiu walked over and hugged Lao Huang's arm, "You let me see him again. It's disgusting to see him."
Lao Huang touched her face with a smirk on his face, "I can't help it, he can't do his job properly without you hanging him up." The two of them walked in hugging each other.
When Yan Niang returned to the back garden of the government office, she saw Jiang Gardener looking around nervously before opening the door and rushing in. Yan Niang waited for a few moments before entering the back garden. When she returned to the main courtyard, she saw that the door of the main room was ajar. As soon as she reached the door, Li Yu opened the door and let her in.
"How is it?" Li Yu looked at her and asked.
"One is the shopkeeper of a big tea shop in Beicheng, and the other is the driver of a large cart shop. Gardener Jiang was looking for the city defense map at your house, but it seems that he couldn't find it after searching several times." Yan Niang glanced at Li Yu and hesitated, " The shopkeeper of the big tea shop told him that if he couldn't find it, he would kidnap the young master and threaten you and your lord. The shopkeeper of the big tea shop used a woman to hook Jiang Gardener to do things for them. Jiang Gardener has already agreed. The woman will meet him tomorrow night. I I guess they will take action against the young master after tomorrow night."
Li Yurou's eyes turned murderous, "Go and inform Shopkeeper Chu after dawn, and we will arrest them tomorrow night."
Yan Niang was quelled by the murderous aura emanating from Li Yu. She stood up and saluted respectfully, "I obey."
Early the next morning, Yan Niang went to Sihai Bank and reported last night's discovery to Chu Feng. Chu Feng immediately had people keep an eye on the big tea shops and car dealers in Beicheng. Yan Niang returned to the back office and continued to stare at Jiang Gardener. .
At night, Gardener Jiang impatiently went to the yard in Lantern Lane, Beicheng. The door was still opened by shopkeeper Huang. After a while, no one came again. Yun Yi and two others entered the yard and caught shopkeeper Huang. They were in the west wing. Qiaoxiu and Jiang Huajiang were caught teasing each other.
That night, they caught the stout coachman and another person at the big cart shop. After some torture, the shopkeeper of the big tea shop confessed, saying that they were asked to find the city defense map of Yunzhou and be ready for it to be taken down by the cooperation between inside and outside. When will Yunzhou City take action? How to cooperate inside and outside? Wait for notification.
After interrogation, it was discovered that Jiang HuaJiang was just a chess piece that was lured by Qiao Xiu and helped shopkeeper Huang go to Houya to steal the city defense plan.
Li Yu summoned the servants in the mansion and said to them, "Jiang Gardener in the mansion was bribed to come to the mansion to steal the master's official documents. He was caught by the secret guards of the mansion and has been sent to prison. Everyone must remember According to the rules of the mansion, don’t inquire about the master’s official business. If anyone deliberately approaches and inquires about the mansion’s news, come back and report it.”
Mrs. Liu quickly said: "Madam, Gardener Jiang asked me a few days ago what you did before? What does your family do? You seem to have some skills. We all said that you also asked about Madam and Master?"
Sister-in-law Zhang also said to Li Yu, "Yes! During the days when you and the master lived in Zhuangzi, he even bought us things to eat, and asked us questions while we were eating. It turned out that he was playing tricks on us. What’s the idea!”
Li Yu looked at them with a smile, "Okay, I know everyone is quite good. Remember our family rules and don't inquire about me or your master. I will reward you with a month's money this month."
After hearing this, everyone bowed happily to Li Yu, "Thank you, madam, thank you, sir."
