The officers and soldiers rushed into the shop and shouted loudly at the people in the shop: "Don't move, everyone, please be honest. After we go back to the Yamen to investigate, those who have nothing to do with the Wei Family Fur Shop will be released immediately."

Some shouted in horror, "Sir, we are here to buy leather and we have not committed any crime."

Others shouted, "Let's pick up Ding's fur."

The leading officers and soldiers looked at them with a pleasant look: "Don't panic, everyone, take you back to the government office. As long as it is found that it has nothing to do with the Wei family shop, you will be released immediately."

People in the shop who had nothing to do with the Wei family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the cheerful appearance of the leading officers and soldiers, and no longer resisted, and obediently allowed them to be tied up.

Wei Wenzhong, who was having a discussion with two men dressed as hunters in the backyard, heard panicked shouts coming from the shop outside. He secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly twisted the Pixiu on the table. He only heard "click, click, click". After a few noises, a secret door opened behind a high cabinet on the wall. Wei Wenzhong said to the two of them: "Wei Shan, Wei Lin, you run away quickly and pass the news on."

"Shopkeeper, you come too." The two shouted at Wei Wenzhong, cupping their fists.

Wei Wenzhong shook his head sadly: "It's too late, I have to destroy the things. No matter what method you use, you must pass on the news."

"I obey." Wei Shan and Wei Lin exited the secret passage and turned to look at Wei Wenzhong: "We are leaving, shopkeeper, take care."

Wei Wenzhong nodded at the two of them, closed the secret passage and rushed to collect the letters and prepare to destroy them. At this time, Yun Yi and the two of them appeared in the backyard like ghosts, and the two of them started fighting with the guards in the backyard.

Yun Yi jumped up to Wei Wenzhong's door and kicked open the door. Wei Wenzhong quickly threw the letter in his hand into the incense burner. Yun Yi came to him very quickly, grabbed his wrist and broke it back. After grabbing the letters, Wei Wenzhong kicked Yun Yi, but Yun Yi slapped him to the ground with his backhand.

Wei Wenzhong lay on the ground and looked at Yun Yi. He yelled loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break in and commit murder for no reason. Do you have any more laws?"

"Quack." Yun Yi raised his hand and removed Wei Wenzhong's chin, took out a rope and tied him up, and began to search the house. The two accompanying spies subdued the guards outside and entered the house to help Yun Yi search. stand up.

Yun Yi glanced at the furs thrown randomly at the door, then at the wooden chairs in the room, then turned to look at the high cabinets and beds in the room, looking around here and there, and finally came to the desk and looked at the table. I reached out my hand and tried to twist it. After the "click-click" sound, the secret passage behind the high cabinet opened again.

Yun Yi said to the two of them: "Take him away and take away his things." Before the words were spoken, the man had already rushed into the secret passage.

The secret passage can only accommodate one person bending down to pass through. Yun Yi bent down and chased for a while and found a light in front of him. He chased it and found that he had reached the exit. He jumped up to the exit but did not find the two people who had escaped. Only then did he discover this exit. In the backyard of a house.

Wei Shan and Wei Lin had already fled into an alleyway. They walked quickly towards the city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, they found that people leaving the city were lining up in a long line. The number of officers and soldiers at the city gate had increased a lot. Everyone leaving the city was searched carefully, and the household certificates were checked before they were released. The two looked at each other and quietly retreated from the crowd.

Yun Yi checked around the yard and found that there was no one in the house. The furniture in the house was covered with dust. It looked like no one had lived in it for a long time. The location of the house was back to the secret passage. Two spies had already found the house. After a careful search, I found neatly arranged crossbows and swords in the wall behind the high cabinet.

Yunyi said to the tall and thin spy: "Let's take the letters back, and these weapons and Wei Wenzhong will be taken away by the government officials."

The two of them bowed and agreed. Yun Yi put the letters into a bag. Zhou Jia had already led the people to the Wei family fur shop. Yun Yi led the people back out. Zhou Jia looked at the neatly arranged clothes in the wall. Weapon feels shuddering, the Wei family has prepared so many weapons, it seems that the tea shop owner is talking about the internal and external cooperation, it is these people in the Wei family shop.

Zhou Jia ordered the government servants behind him: "Move these weapons back to the government office. The Wei Family Trading Company is suspected of treason and will take all the people back."

Yun Yi returned to Sihai Bank and told Chu Sihai the news that someone had escaped from the secret passage. Chu Sihai looked at Yun Yi: "What kind of person do you think escaped?"

"There are two bundles of furs at the door. They should be people pretending to be hunters."

Chu Sihai looked at Chu Feng, "Notify the guards at the city gate to check carefully, and ask Mr. Zhou to immediately interrogate the clerks and shopkeepers of the fur shop. How many of the people who escaped looked like them? Mention Wei Wenzhong to us." "

After receiving the order, Chu Feng went to the government office, and Chu Sihai and his people began to check the letters.

When the sun went down, all the Wei family's shops were sealed. The shopkeeper, the clerks and their families were brought back to the government office. Hundreds of weapons were seized from the shop. If the Wei family knew that after years of hard work, they would be successful. I don’t know how I feel when I am complete but destroyed by two jars of pickles.

Li Yu was at home listening to the news brought back by Ruyi, and knowing that all the Wei family's shops had been sealed off, he went back to the house and packed up the things that Chu Sihai had brought as a gift from the emperor, including exquisite and gorgeous cloth, jewelery, and gifts. Zhou Jia's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the toys given to Yangyang by the emperor include a golden and gorgeous boat, a rattle inlaid with gems, a small sword, a small bow, and exquisite kites... Li Yu looked at the things inside that looked like works of art. marveled at the beautiful toys.

Zhou Jia learned from Chu Feng that someone had escaped, and immediately interrogated the clerks in the fur shop one by one: "Tell me honestly the faces of the hunters who came to the shop today, especially those who came to the shop to dress up as hunters when officers and soldiers came. Once we find out that you have nothing to do with Wei's shop, we will let you go home immediately."

The boy knelt down with a frightened look on his face and heard Zhou Jiahua whisper: "Sir, before you come here today, the people who come to the shop to sell furs are two hunters about five feet tall. They are a bit fierce. I Just as I was about to pick up their fur, Manager Zhao led the two of them to the backyard."

Zhou Jia looked at him and asked warmly: "Do you still remember their faces?"

Seeing that Zhou Jia spoke softly and was not as scared as before, the boy frowned and thought for a while, "One of the two has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his nostrils are a bit big, and the other is older and has a rounder face. The eyes are not big and the lips are a bit thick." After the boy finished speaking, he kowtowed to Zhou Jia, "Sir, please believe me. I am just a boy working in the shop. The Wei family pays high wages and I am not treason."

Zhou Jia looked at him and said, "I didn't say that you were treasonous. I'll bring you back to investigate. I won't accuse you unjustly. When the scribe draws it, you can help identify him."

The boy nodded, "Thank you, sir."
