Master Jiang opened the box and took out a thick stack of silver tickets from it, and then stood beside the city lord with a bowed body, and stuffed it into the city lord's hand.

"City Lord, look ......"

"Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?" the city lord pretended to look at these silver tickets indifferently.

Master Jiang said respectfully: "City Lord, this is not the emperor and queen, our Jiangnan City will definitely be entertained, this is some of my modest meaning." I hope the city lord doesn't refuse. ”

Seeing that Master Jiang was so sensible, the city lord looked at the thickness of his hand again, with a smile on his face, patted Master Jiang's shoulder and said: "Okay, don't be so restrained, I will accept your kindness for the emperor and queen first, I will definitely investigate it well, you don't have to worry, after all, you are the richest man in our Jiangnan City, I will definitely say a few good words for you." ”

They thought that their conversation was absolutely safe, but they didn't know that in fact, from the city lord out of the city lord's mansion, there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.

The city lord and Master Jiang thought that what they were doing was quietly unknown, but they didn't know that Tang Yun saw everything in his eyes.

It didn't take long for the city lord to leave the Jiang Mansion and go back, and Tang Yun also went back with him.

"Your Majesty, as expected, the city lord took advantage of the night to go to Jiang's mansion. Tang Yun stood aside and reported.

Tang Yunzhao didn't say anything, just nodded, Tang Yun saw this and continued: "The city lord accepted the money given by Master Jiang, and said that he would definitely protect Master Jiang. ”

"What an embarrassed traitor, Tang Yun's next task is to search this city lord's mansion for me, I want to see the evidence of his corruption and bribery, remember to search secretly, don't let the city lord notice." Tang Yunzhao slapped the table angrily and said.

"Yes. Tang Yun, who received the order, left with interest.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to be angry about this little thing, just leave it to Tang Yun and them to deal with. Yang Chun walked behind Tang Yunzhao and gently massaged the shoulder with his hand to let him relax.

Tang Yunzhao looked helplessly at the overturned cup on the table, and took Yang Chun's hand with one hand: "I really didn't expect that Jiangnan City was also glamorous on the outside, but in fact, it was ruined." ”

Yang Chun soothed: "Actually, many things are not as simple as what you see, okay, don't think about it so much, it's not early, let's rest early." ”

At night, Tang Yunzhao was still thinking about the people of Jiangnan City, and he couldn't sleep, so he put on his clothes and quietly went to write a letter.

A letter was written by Tang Yunzhao to Yang Chuan, who was in the middle of the court, and the general content of the letter was: Let Yang Chuan send someone to deal with the affairs of Jiangnan City, and tell Yang Chuan that he and Yang Chun are safe.

The next morning, the weather in the city was originally clear, but suddenly the clouds were thick, and the whole thing was foggy, making people feel stuffy, without the freshness of the past, and soon before everyone could react, the sky began to rain heavily.

The heavy rain soon made everyone discover that the Jiang family's cloth was impregnated, and the people in the city took these fabrics and went to the Jiang family's cloth shop one after another, wanting to ask for an explanation.

When the people of the Jiang family saw the black pressure people coming over, they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the cloth shop, no matter how the people knocked on the door outside, no one dared to answer.

It didn't take long for Jiang Bowen to hear the terrifying news that someone was revealing that their pharmacy was selling fake medicines.

"What? fake medicine? how is it possible?" Jiang Bowen looked at Master Jiang in shock when he heard the news, wanting to hear the denial from him.

But when Master Jiang heard the news, he sat down on the chair with a trembling mouth: "The sky is going to kill me, the sky is going to die ......" Before he finished speaking, Master Jiang fainted.

Jiang Bowen saw Master Jiang's appearance and immediately understood that the fake medicine was real, and everyone surrounded Master Jiang in a panic, Jiang Bowen turned around and said, "Help Master into the room and ask Lang Zhong to come over and show him." Then he went back to his study.

"What, are there a lot of people outside?" Mei Niang asked worriedly, sitting in the courtyard.

Mei Niang's maid replied: "Madam, I have just been outside, and many people are gathered at the door, as if they are here for some fabric, and I have heard from others that there is an accident in our pharmacy." ”

Hearing this, Mei Niang was even more shocked: "How is it possible, did you hear it wrong, the Jiang family has been a time-honored brand for so many years, how can there be a problem?"

"Madame, I really heard it, and that's exactly what the people outside said. ”

Mei Niang listened to what the maid said, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked, she tried to calm her emotions, and thought in her heart: No matter what the outside says, I have to go to the master first to see, to ask what the situation is, whether there is a big deal, I can't scare myself.

Before Mei Niang walked to Master Jiang's house, she saw a lot of people gathered outside, and the people were all panicking.

"You go and ask what's going on. Mei Niang beckoned the maid to ask.

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The maid walked over, grabbed a hurried subordinate, and asked in a low voice, "What are so many of you doing here?"

"You don't know? ”

"How could the old man faint?" asked the maid curiously.

The subordinate lowered his voice and said, "It seems that I heard that it was because of the cloth shop and the medicine shop, and I was angry." ”

After the maid asked, she told Mei Niang what she knew, Mei Niang listened, and did not continue to pass, but turned around and went back to the room directly.

"Young master, it's not good, Madame is gone. ”

Jiang Bowen was discussing with the housekeeper how to deal with things outside, but was interrupted by the voice of the little guy outside.

"What, when did you disappear?" Jiang Bowen hurriedly came out and asked angrily.

"I don't know, the maid came to say that she was bringing food to her wife, but no one answered, and when she went in, she found that all the valuable jewelry in the room was gone. I asked them, and they said that when they last saw Madame, she had just come out of the accounting room. The little guy replied.

When Jiang Bowen heard this, he understood in his heart that this Mei Niang saw that such a big incident happened to the Jiang family, and she was worried that the Jiang family would not be able to survive, so she wanted to run away with money.

"Go, send someone quickly, Madame will find it for me, if you can't find it, you don't want to come back. Jiang Bowen's eyes were fierce, and he stared at one place through gritted teeth.

He rarely gets angry, and when the little guy saw Jiang Bowen's expression, he didn't dare to come out, so he hurriedly ran out to find someone.

It turns out that people can't be too greedy, Mei Niang because she brought too many things, she was soon discovered by the little guy in Jiang Mansion, how could Mei Niang, who sits in the house every day and enjoys happiness, run past the little guy, and was quickly arrested.

Mei Niang, who was arrested back to Jiang Mansion, completely lost her usual charm, was embarrassed, and shouted in her mouth: "You let go of me, I am Mrs. Jiang Mansion, you can't arrest me." ”

The little girl turned a deaf ear to Mei Niang's yelling, and just followed Jiang Bowen's order to imprison Mei Niang in her own room and prevent her from coming out.
