Chapter 15: Following
Seeing Tang Zheng preparing to open the lock with the keys, Lin Zuo stopped him and asked: "How did you get the keys to the cell door?"
"The jailers are all drunk, I took them from them."
And Su Xiaoxi also asked curiously: "How could the jailers suddenly get drunk?"
"Actually, they aren't drunk, I just gave them some Monghan Drug." Tang Zheng lewdly smiled: "We have to hurry, it will be troublesome if the drug effect wears off."
Seeing Tang Zheng wanting to open the door again, Lin Zuo stopped him again: "You can't open the door, otherwise it's jailbreaking. Even the Embroidered Uniform Guard can't carry this crime. If Su Shanhe leaves with you, his grievances will never be cleared."
Tang Zheng was anxious: "There are only three days left, don't you really want to investigate the case?"
And Su Xiaoxi asked back from the side: "You Embroidered Uniform Guards are so powerful, if you have the account book in hand, you should be able to find out the truth, right?"
Facing Su Xiaoxi, Tang Zheng's attitude couldn't be bad no matter what, so he could only awkwardly apologize and smile: "This, logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult..."
And Lin Zuo seized the opportunity to say to Su Shanhe: "Didn't you just say you only believe in the Imperial Envoy sent by the Holy One? Tang Commander is!"
As he spoke, he gave Tang Zheng a look, and Tang Zheng subconsciously said: "Mm, I am indeed..."
Lin Zuo: "Tang Commander, please take out the waist medal to verify it for Su Commander."
"Oh." Tang Zheng took out the gold medal and shook it at Su Shanhe, then guiltily tucked it back into his arms.
Hearing Tang Zheng and Lin Zuo's stance, Su Shanhe was relieved: "My sister and my life were once saved by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I believe in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Tang adult, the account book is hidden in the secret compartment under the bed of room number eight of Hongfu Restaurant."
Su Shanhe had already said this, so Tang Zheng couldn't help but take it, so he could only nod: "Su Commander, then you will be wronged to stay here for two more days. We will come to save you when we find enough evidence."
Out of the prison, Tang Zheng was in a good mood.
He didn't expect an Embroidered Uniform Guard waist medal to be so useful. Many things that he felt were very difficult to handle before became simple after taking out this medal, which also made him thoroughly enjoy the addiction of being an official.
"Iron shoes are worn out and nowhere to be found, it takes no effort to get it..." He sang a line in the style of Peking Opera, feeling that this moment was the most majestic moment of his life.
"After getting the account book, I hope the Commander can help my brother clear his name." Su Xiaoxi said worriedly from the side.
"Rest assured." Tang Zheng patted his chest with a *bang*: "I will definitely do what I promised you."
Tang Zheng was proud here, but Lin Zuo felt something was wrong. His experience as an Embroidered Uniform Guard for many years gave him enough vigilance. After walking out of the prison gate, he felt that someone was following them.
He tilted his head slightly without a trace, and his peripheral vision caught a few figures hiding and dodging at the corner of the wall twenty meters behind him, and he immediately knew in his heart.
"Everyone be careful, someone is following us."
"Mm?" Tang Zheng froze.
"Don't look back." Lin Zuo continued: "Don't let them notice."
"Then what should we do next?" Su Xiaoxi asked from the side.
"Follow me."
Under Lin Zuo's lead, the three turned into a small alley. At the end of the alley was a rouge and powder shop. Lin Zuo walked in first, and Tang Zheng and Su Xiaoxi had to follow.
And just outside the alley, the three sneaky figures stopped. The leader poked his head to look into the alley, then immediately retracted it.
"Heipi, did you see it?"
"Saw it, they entered a rouge shop." Heipi hesitated: "Datou, should we follow them in?"
"Not good, the three of us big men, it's too obvious to go in." Datou looked at Abao beside him and asked: "What did the boss explain?"
"The boss just said let us follow them, find out who they have met, what they have done, and where they live, and then go back and tell him."
"Since that's the case, let's wait here." Datou sneered: "I don't believe they can never come out."
"Guests, is there anything you want to buy?" The female shopkeeper of the rouge shop saw customers coming and greeted them enthusiastically.
This rouge and powder shop opened in a small alley, and it was not popular at ordinary times, so the shopkeeper would be extra enthusiastic when customers came.
Although it was strange for two big men to accompany a girl to shop for rouge and powder, who cares, as long as they are willing to spend money.
"Rouge, powder, lipstick, eyebrow pencil, flower dew." Lin Zuo said familiarly: "Bring another set of women's jewelry and clothes."
"Guest, we are a rouge shop, we don't sell clothes..."
Before the shopkeeper finished a sentence, a silver ingot appeared in Lin Zuo's hand like a magic trick, and he even shook it in front of her.
After discovering that this silver ingot was worth a month's income of her shop, the female shopkeeper immediately changed her words: "But as long as the guest needs it, I must handle it for you. Look at this one on me, how is it?"
As she spoke, she turned around on the spot, showing off her bucket-like waist.
"Okay." Lin Zuo nodded, threw the small piece of broken silver to her, and gave a concise instruction: "Take it off!"
"Alright." The female shopkeeper smiled happily after receiving the silver: "Guest, wait a moment, I'll go change clothes."
After the time of a stick of incense, the shopkeeper handed the women's clothing that still had her body temperature to Lin Zuo, and even gave him a wink. Lin Zuo took the opportunity to borrow the back room, and the female shopkeeper agreed in one mouthful for the sake of silver.
After entering the room, Tang Zheng gave Lin Zuo a thumbs up: "High, really high, actually thinking of changing clothes, you have it."
"However..." He changed the subject and asked: "There are three of us here, one set of clothes is not enough."
"No need for all three to change."
"Mm, that's right." Tang Zheng looked at Su Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi doesn't need to change, then we two are still not enough."
"Not the two of us, it's you." Lin Zuo handed the women's clothing in his hand to Tang Zheng: "You just need to change, and Su girl and I are responsible for covering you and leading those people away."
"Why me?" Tang Zheng was unhappy: "Why don't you go?"
"Because the adult is an Embroidered Uniform Guard, if there is an unexpected situation, you can easily handle it alone." As he spoke, Lin Zuo spread his hands: "And I am just a scholar, really powerless."
"Spare me that."
"There is another important reason." Lin Zuo said seriously: "The next task needs to be completed in women's clothing. This not only requires great courage, but also flexible skills, the ability to adapt to changes, vivid imitation ability, and the responsibility of a real man. In these aspects, I am not as good as you, so who else but you for this important task?"
It is said that thousands of wearings and thousands of wearings,
"I have to admit, what you said makes a lot of sense." He took the women's clothing from Lin Zuo's hands and said confidently, "Don't worry, leave this arduous task to me."
