Magistrate Cao didn't care whether she could understand the subtext of his words, and simply told the police a few words before urging them to leave quickly.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this visit to Beijing. He actually sent six people to escort her and hired a carriage specially.

Those who don’t know may think she is some big shot.

It was the first time for Zhao Zhizhi to ride a horse-drawn carriage and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. However, it was indeed more comfortable than a mule-cart, but the space was slightly smaller.

This was also her first time traveling far away, and the journey to the capital was a long one.

Zhao Zhizhi asked the police in advance and was told that even if he traveled sleepless and night, it would take three or four days to reach the capital.

This is already a relatively fast speed, and traveling by water will be even slower.

Because Zhao Zhizhi had established a good relationship with Li Chong in advance, it was soon confirmed how wise her decision was.

Li Chong not only asked the coachman to drive more carefully, but also stopped for a short rest at each station to give Zhao Zhizhi time to stretch his muscles.

Zhao Zhizhi saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He decided that if he found an opportunity in the future, he would still want to repay him in a small way.

Wei Shao finally managed to deal with Luo Yang's affairs and broke two horses before he came back.

He couldn't wait to rush to Zhao's house to see Zhao Zhizhi. He hadn't seen her for nearly a month, and his heart was already on fire.

However, before he could be happy for a long time, he was poured cold water on his face.

Hearing Zhao Yimu's words, he repeated in disbelief: "Where did you say she went?"

Zhao Yimu sighed heavily, looked back at Zhao Sanmu, who had his head lowered and a dejected expression, and then turned back and whispered: "Come with me to the house, and I will tell you what happened these days."

The main reason is that he is afraid of hurting Zhao Sanmu's self-esteem. After all, he now feels full of guilt for Zhao Zhizhi.

Wei Shao frowned and followed him into the main room. After listening to his story for more than half an hour, his face suddenly became indescribably ugly.

Zhao Yimu advised worriedly: "Sanmu already knew that he was wrong, and dad also punished him severely. You..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Shao stood up suddenly and strode outside.

Zhao Yimu chased him out and shouted, "Where are you going?"

Wei Shao had a cold face and said without looking back: "Go find her."

Wei Shao was very angry, but he was not angry about Zhao Sanmu's gambling, but angry that Zhao Zhizhi didn't want to ask him for help when such a thing happened, but faced it alone.

He returned to his temporary residence in the town, summoned the people who secretly protected Zhao Zhizhi, and held back his anger and asked: "Why don't you report the Zhao family's affairs to me?"

The secret guard knelt down on one knee and said expressionlessly: "Because I restored the safety of the Zhao family, their lives were not in danger."

Wei Shao laughed angrily, pointed at him and said angrily: "Get out of here."

The dark guard said respectfully: "Yes."

After saying that, he disappeared in just one sip of tea.

Liu Qing opened the door and walked in. She noticed that the air pressure around Wei Shao was extremely low. She resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and asked cautiously: "Master, the horses are ready again. When should we set off?"

Wei Shao's dark eyes swept over him, "Now."

Liu Qing followed him. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, there are too many people who know you in the capital. You might be in danger if you go this time. Otherwise, write a letter to Qing Yan and let him know." Will she change her appearance for you when she comes back?"

How could Wei Shao still have the heart to wait another day? He said coldly: "The capital is a place that eats people. I don't worry about her going alone."

Hearing these words, Liu Qing knew that no matter how much he said, he could not persuade Wei Shao, so he had to shut his mouth worriedly, secretly praying that there would be no problems on this trip to the capital.

On the other side, the sky was getting dark, and Li Chong asked his men to find a post and stop in.

Official uniforms were too cumbersome and would affect their walking speed, so several of the detectives changed into casual clothes, looking no different from some servants.

Zhao Zhizhi got off the carriage and followed Li Chong to the inn.

As soon as they stepped into the house, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly, followed by a woman in a red dress.

On such a cold day, she was still wearing a thin skirt, which looked weird.

"Hey, husband, it seems that our shop has a distinguished guest today." The woman in red covered her mouth and chuckled seductively.

The shop owner is indeed a man, but he is a whole head shorter than the woman in red, and his appearance does not match the woman.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually husband and wife. Zhao Zhizhi used some strength to pinch his palms to prevent himself from showing surprise.

"Mei Niang, please don't be rude." The man turned around and said to the woman calmly, and then said to Zhao Zhizhi and others: "Are the customers here at the top or staying at the hotel?"

Li Chong threw him a money bag and said familiarly: "Give us four rooms."

The man hurriedly took the money bag and put some weight on it casually. His smile suddenly spread to the back of his head, and his attitude became much more attentive, "Okay, please come in."

Zhao Zhizhi was listening to the conversation between them when he suddenly felt an abnormal feeling on his left shoulder.

She took a half-step to the side alertly and subconsciously made a self-defense move.

I saw the woman in red walking up to her at some point, thinking of putting her arm on her shoulder and getting closer.

She was caught off guard by Zhao Zhizhi, who grabbed her arm and pushed and pulled her, causing her to lose her footing and fall backwards.

Zhao Zhizhi didn't expect it was her, and didn't even have time to lend a hand to help.

Seeing that the woman in red was about to fall to the ground, the short man who had been talking to Li Chong moved.

No one saw how he moved, only a flash, and everyone could only see the afterimage of his body. After a closer look, the woman in red was already in his arms.

At the same time, an idea suddenly popped into Zhao Zhizhi's mind. This man knew martial arts, and his martial arts seemed to be very strong.

Combined with her observations after entering the door, she had some doubts in her heart.

I always felt like there was something wrong with this couple.

Li Chong was a straightforward person and would not notice these details at all. He also joked with the short man with a silly smile: "Brother, have you ever practiced martial arts? As for the hand you just showed, in terms of speed, I am not the best." It’s beyond your reach!”

The short man pretended to be embarrassed and touched his head, "The distinguished guests are laughing at me. I am just too anxious to burst out. I only know some triangle cat kung fu, which is not considered martial arts."

Li Chong came over and patted him on the shoulder, winked at him teasingly and said, "I understand, even a hero cannot remain indifferent when a beauty is in his arms."

The short man laughed dryly, let go of the woman in red, stretched out his arm and said, "It's better to invite the distinguished guests inside quickly."
