Fan Qing rarely saw Fan Tie so angry, and he was also frightened at this time, but he was still lucky and said: "Isn't this an accident, not to mention that this is Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, a trivial matter, how can the Wu family." ”

"How dare you say it. Fan Tie raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, so frightened that Fan Qing covered his face and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Although this Liao Weizhang is a newcomer, he can be a person who is soft and hard, if he is caught, the Wu family is not finished, our Fan family is determined to be finished, if someone does not come to report the news to me first, we will be arrested, and you will be imprisoned immediately. ”

Fan Qingmu nodded, and suddenly asked curiously, "Who gave us the letter?"

Fan Tie was silent for a moment, then sat down again, his brows furrowed as if in contemplation, Fan Qing waited for a while before he heard him speak: "On the strip of cloth sent, the payment claims to be a righteous march. ”

Fan Qing was stunned and wondered: "The Righteous March, but the rebel army with the most momentum at the moment—the Righteous March?"

"There is no second march here. Fan Tie gave him an angry look.

Fan Qing became more and more puzzled: "The Righteous March has nothing to do with us, why are they helping now? Besides, how did they learn the news?"

Fan Tie rubbed his eyebrows, confused and irritable: "This is also what I'm worried about, we are not anxious about the righteous march, they clearly show their good intentions this time, if they say that they have no plans, their grandson will not believe it." ”

Fan Qing's mind turned, and he clapped his hands suddenly: "I know, they want to win us over and covet our wealth, and what these rebels lack most is money." ”

Fan Tie glared at him: "How do you know that they are trying to win over and not blackmail?"

"Blackmail?" Fan Qing thought for a moment, "Big brother is saying that our matter has been exposed?"

"It's not just a revelation, I'm afraid they now even know where our goods are hidden, but what can I do, I can only transfer the goods first, how can I manage so much, naturally I will avoid Jingzhao Mansion first, and then say, if we move a little slower just now, we will be arrested immediately." ”

Fan Qing also realized how serious the situation was at this time, leaving aside Jingzhao Mansion, such a big handle was caught by the righteous marching army, in the future, if they used this matter as a threat, then his two brothers, where would they survive.

"Big brother, this can't be done, we have to find a way. ”

"Think of a way? What you said is good, but you can tell me what you can do? Do you think Liao Weizhang will stop here, you don't have to think about it, there must be a lot of people hidden outside, and our every move is all watched. So I also remind you, from today onwards, give me some honesty, you don't need to come here, just stay in the house, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Fan Tie gave the order to die.

Fan Qing frowned when he heard this: "Big brother, I'm thirty years old, you still treat me like a child, you don't know my temperament, let me stay in the house all day, it's better to just arrest me and go to the bottom of the prison." ”

"Then you go to the prison and squat for me, you go and turn yourself in now, I think you will ask tomorrow to behead." Fan Tie was already speechless.

Fan Qing looked at it with a calm face: "I know, I know, I don't go out." ”

Fan Tie snorted, and his face improved a little.

"Then what do we do now?" Fan Qing asked again.

Fan Tie pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "First press the soldiers and don't move, as long as we don't move, Liao Weizhang can't find evidence, we will be fine, as for the righteous march, no matter what their purpose, they will naturally take the initiative to contact them, and then respond when the time comes." ”

The two brothers discussed some foreseeable measures to deal with the event, and it was not until late at night that they returned to their respective residences.

However, it was said that after Liao Weizhang returned to Jingzhao Mansion, he sorted out the events before and after one by one, but found several suspicious points:

First of all, who was the person who informed him of the Yangshan Academy incident? What was the purpose of this person? After all, even if that person didn't convey it, he would have learned the news and conducted a thorough investigation all night at the latest.

Secondly, if Wu Ji Micang is really innocent, then who can unknowingly do his hands and feet in the food of Yangshan Academy, after all, such a large area of students is sick, and one person cannot complete it.

In the end, if it was really the reason for Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, but he didn't find even a little bit of moldy rice, then who revealed the news to Fan Tie in advance?

"Your Excellency------ Your Excellency?"

"Huh?" Liao Weizhang suddenly woke up, "What's the matter?"

The master reminded him: "It's late at night, and you haven't had a good rest for several nights, so it's better to go back and rest early." ”

Liao Weizhang rubbed his eyes, he really hadn't had a good rest for several days, a few days ago, in order to capture the righteous marching army of prisoners, he had been fighting at night in a row, he thought he could have a good rest today, but now in such a situation, he really didn't have the heart to sleep, and he couldn't sleep.

"If you don't come back tonight, you go to sleep and leave me alone. Liao Weizhang waved his hand.

The master bookkeeper frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "My lord, I can't find any clues in this matter for a while, only if I rest today, I will have energy tomorrow."

And the lower officials thought that they might as well go and check the other rice merchants who had dealings with Wu Ji Rice Warehouse tomorrow, maybe there would be any clues. ”

Liao Weizhang's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "What the master book says is that the official will personally take people to various shops early tomorrow morning. ”

The master bookkeeper smiled and arched his hand: "Then please go to bed and rest for the time being." ”

Liao Weizhang has a number in his heart, so he is not so worried, there are so many shops, he doesn't believe that he can't find a clue, if it is really the problem of Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, then there must be other victims.

At this time, the Wu family compound, compared with the past, the atmosphere seems to be very heavy, Dazi looked left and right, the eldest man did not speak, and several other masters did not say anything, but he took the risk tonight, and it was easy to get out of the south gate, and rushed all the way down the mountain to send the news back to the Wu family compound, which was still waiting for the reply to go back.

Dazi was anxious, this mountain is not as fast as the mountain, if he doesn't go back when the sky is bright, then he won't be able to enter the academy.

"What do you think about this matter?" asked the head of the family, Wu Haotian, when he finally spoke.

The others looked at each other, but the second Wu Haocheng opened his mouth, looking very unconvinced: "Big brother, who must be this ironclad who looks at our Wu family unpleasantly and wants to frame us." ”

The third Wu Haoyi was originally dissatisfied with Fan Tie, and couldn't help but laugh at this time: "Second brother, don't turn your elbow outward, how can the foreign surname be compared with our own family, if it is my Wu family who is in charge of Wu Ji Micang today, it must be framed, but the surname Fan, we dare not guarantee it." ”

"What do you mean, third child, you are clearly admitting that it is Wu Ji Rice Warehouse's problem. This is to discredit our Wu family, right? Wu Haocheng said angrily.

"Who the hell is smearing, just like you, no wonder you are eaten to death by women. I didn't even dare to marry a concubine. ”

"You ------" Wu Hao angrily swung his fist and was about to fight.

Wu Haotian, who was sitting in the main seat, scolded sharply: "Enough, don't say a few words." If something like this happens, whether it is something or not, it is a discredit to the Wu family. Second, you go and ask the Fan brothers to see what they say. ”

Wu Haotian's status as the head of the family was unquestionable, and although Wu Haocheng was unhappy in his heart, he had to agree face-to-face.
