Chapter 853 Secret Code



Families with daughters should try to keep them from going out. If they absolutely have to go out to make a living, they should wear a veil and a very dark face powder from a rouge shop, so as not to look too ugly.

Even more outrageous, when young ladies go out, they wear specially made shoulder pads, waistbands, and so on.

In summer, the props that make people look chubby are grass, and in winter they are cotton.

It's rare to see someone with such a slender figure on the street, that's why.

Zhang Jiucheng and his son are quite something to have managed to turn a perfectly good woman into something neither human nor ghost.

Early in the morning, when it was time to go to the yamen, Zhang Nanke surprisingly didn't go, which was strange.

When it comes to dedication, no one can compare to Zhang Nanke.

As the county magistrate's assistant, he was much busier than the county magistrate.

There were many things to do at the county government office. It was almost noon, and the county magistrate still hadn't come to the office, so he sent someone to the Zhang residence to invite him.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, which was even more puzzling.

The person who came to fetch help was quick-witted; sensing something was wrong, he borrowed a ladder from a nearby house.

I climbed over the courtyard wall and took a look. I saw that the doors of some rooms in the first courtyard were open.

The entire mansion was deathly silent, not a sound could be heard.

He felt that this was not something a lowly errand boy like himself could decide, so he quickly went back to report to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate is planning to climb the ranks by relying on the county assistant magistrate, so how could he not care?

The magistrate nearly fainted when he saw the county magistrate's assistant.

The county magistrate and his son were both castrated, their crotches stained with blood, and they both suffered strokes.

Since taking office in Yang'an City, the county magistrate had not visited the Zhang residence. Taking advantage of the investigation, he thoroughly inspected the Zhang family's home, inside and out.

Surprisingly, they discovered several stroke-stricken thugs and Zhang Jiucheng's pleasure house in the back garden.

Even the county magistrate was taken aback when he saw the objects hanging on the wall. He thought to himself, "These two really know how to have fun."

The entire population of the prefecture was knocked out in one night; it's clear someone was causing the disturbance.

But he couldn't get any clues out of him. The magistrate was at his wit's end and secretly wondered if he should find another master.

Zhao Qinghe and her group returned with a full load of goodies.

Drugs and poisons cost money, so the Zhang family must have to pay some money for using them, right?

It's not unreasonable to take some of the compensation I deserve, is it?

The Zhang family master's house was ransacked by Zhao Qinghe and her gang.

They packed up all the silver notes, gold and silver jewelry, and took away only the more valuable ornaments.

Take away their clothes, blankets, and other belongings and dump them in the slums.

They threw some at each household, keeping Zhao Qinghe and her team extremely busy that night.

Given the commotion that occurred last night,

Surely someone near the Zhang residence must have heard or noticed this; in fact, everyone in the neighborhood knew that the Zhang family were no good people.

I'm too busy trying to avoid it to have any time to meddle in other people's business.

Overnight, the Zhang family was practically destitute, if not completely broke.

If the county magistrate hadn't needed Zhang Nanke's help, he probably wouldn't have helped arrange for a doctor to treat this family.

We consulted all the famous doctors in the city, but after taking our pulse, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Some said that those who had suffered a stroke were beyond saving, but one doctor, who was skilled enough, suspected that they had been poisoned.

But he couldn't guarantee it, because it was a poison he couldn't detect.

This is a bit difficult.

After waking up, Zhang Nanke and his son Zhang Jiucheng could only babble, but they couldn't even move their heads.

Not to mention who attacked them.

Therefore, Zhao Qinghe and her group were able to run away safely after committing their evil deeds.

Of course, the Zhang family also had a group of specially trained henchmen, but those people did not live in the Zhang family residence on a regular basis.

These people were not actually servants of the Zhang family; they were merely assisting the Zhang father and son in their business dealings.

In Yang'an City, there was a Zhang's Coffin Shop, owned by the Zhang family. Their henchmen lived in the coffin shop.

Whenever the Zhang family notified them to come and "pick up the goods," Zhang's coffin shop would open, and large and small coffins would be transported out of the city.

When those henchmen learned of the Zhang family's situation, they sent word to their master.

Two days later, a letter written by Zhao Qinghe appeared on the emperor's desk, which amused the emperor.

The officials of Shenlong Kingdom were already diligent enough, yet they completely overlooked Yang'an City.

It can only be said that Zhang Nanke is very good at hiding his true intentions and is meticulous in his work.

It's not hard to find out about Zhang Nanke's interpersonal relationships; you don't even need to guess to know that he's inextricably linked to the third brother, Jian Feng.

As for where the abducted girls were sent, we'll have to wait for Zhao Qinghe's account book to find out.

As the ruler of the Divine Dragon Kingdom, how could I allow evildoers to live even a day longer?

Zhao Qinghe and her group were blocked from their way.

After the other party introduced himself and produced his exclusive royal guard token, Zhao Qinghe asked a few more questions before handing over the account book to the visitor to take away.

It wasn't that Zhao Qinghe was careless; she had received a message the day before from a flying eagle saying that the Emperor would send someone to collect the account books.

And there is a secret code inside.

The question Zhao Qinghe asked was the secret code for the rendezvous.

With the trouble gone, Zhao Qinghe felt much more relaxed.

Such a big matter is not something a woman with no achievements like her could handle.

The emperor was curious about the Zhao family's tendency to attract trouble.

Wherever the Zhao family goes, regardless of gender, they always manage to uncover some form of corruption, and this corruption is no ordinary corruption.

"Third brother, third brother, it's not that I don't want you to stay, it's just that you've gone too far."

The emperor sat alone in his study, sighing to himself.

A month later, Zhao Qinghe finally arrived in Beijing.

The Zhao family had received the news long ago and sent people to the city gate every day.

In order to see her little girl as soon as possible, Wang Caixia insisted on waiting at the city gate every day.

But waiting around all day isn't a good idea; I need to find something to do to pass the time.

After much deliberation, Wang Caixia set up a shed outside the city gate, offering free tea and even commissioning a blackboard to teach passersby to read.

They don't teach much, just three words a day, words that are closely related to people's lives.

The words on the blackboard were written in large letters. Passersby would ask curious questions, and if they could recognize and write them, they could go home and teach their families.

And you know what? In just a few days, Wang Caixia gained a lot of fans among the people.

Wang Caixia used this method of constantly talking to people to relieve the anxiety of waiting for her daughter.

The youngest daughter is really too bold. A few days ago, a major event happened in the court: the Third Prince was dismissed and imprisoned.

It was Xu Dongsheng who revealed that this matter was related to Zhao Qinghe.

This terrified Wang Caixia.

Of all people to offend, why did I have to offend the sons and grandsons of emperors? Oh dear, that's terrifying!

Especially after learning that her daughter was about to go to Beijing, she started counting down the days.

He waited at the city gate for a whole week before finally seeing his troublesome daughter and an even more unreliable future son-in-law.

The moment Wang Caixia saw Bai Hetang, she felt that this young man was too weak and incapable of managing the household.
