Chapter 287: Root Cause

The two went out of the door and came to the street along Cangxia Street.

In the small garden in front, a few children from the neighborhood are playing in it, and it seems that as soon as they move in, the nearby residents will no longer resist this place.

It's just that when walking east along the street, Mei Yixuan sensitively heard the whispers of several women on the street, and the content of the words caught her attention.

"Have you heard? The Sang family is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and they are only allowed to enter but not leave!"

"Ah, really, nonsense, right? What about the infirmary, which has also been sealed?"

"It's all sealed, saying that it is a lawsuit, and the third master of the Sang family has to pay a lot of money!"

"Don't scare me, the eldest lady of Baicaotang has good medicine and is cheap, if it is seized, our old lady will have to buy the medicine from another house. ”

"It's true, our head of the house is on an errand at the old man's house next door to the Sang family, and when I saw that the momentum was not right, I took the time to go home and tell me, don't go to the street today!"

"God, what's going on? There's no royal law? This family's ······"

"Shhhh

“······ I'm not, just a few of us? I think it's too ······· Forget it, forget it, I won't talk about it. ”

"Shhhh

Mei Yixuan held a folding fan in his hand, as if unintentionally, he glanced at a few women whose faces had changed abruptly and were frightened, and glanced at Feifeng, and the two tacitly quickened their pace.

When he turned the corner and came to a secluded place, Mei Yixuan said in a low voice: "Go to Sang's house!"

"Yes!"

So the two of them performed light skills, and after a while, they arrived at Gulou Street, which is located in the southwest of Jiaozhou.

Before I reached the street, I saw groups of people gathered at the corner of the street, some with a touch of fear on their faces, some with a touch of resentment, and some with a look of indifference.

"Hmph, it's over again! I wonder who the next one will be?"

"It's too much! Who will dare to come to Jiaozhou in the future?"

"Alas, even the Sang family can't be saved, who can compete with them?"

"Is there no royal law?"

"Alas, the way of the world ······ Good people don't have to repay you!"

Mei Yixuan was hidden behind the crowd, looking at the Sang Mansion surrounded by officers and soldiers in disbelief, listening to the discussions of the people around him, he was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

The house of Jiaozhou Sangfu is located in the middle of Gulou Street, and it is a large mansion facing south. However, compared with those noble families and eunuchs, this mansion is already very low-key.

The Sang family is a medical family that has been well-known in Lingnan Province for nearly a hundred years, not only has a high reputation among the people, but also has accumulated a rich family background, which may be the root cause of the disaster.

Over the years, the Sang family has been committed to benefiting the people, accumulating virtues, compassion and compassion, and is naturally a good person in the reputation of the people at the bottom. However, the Sang family's connections in the officialdom are lackluster, and except for the uncle, I am afraid there is no one who can speak.

Especially in the face of annihilation, even if there are one or two people who can speak, they will not risk offending the people behind the scenes, and stand up to say two good words for the Sang family, although those good words may not be able to help the Sang family.

Because it is obvious that the people behind this disaster are not good, since they dare to touch the Sang family, they are bound to investigate the social relations of the Sang family clearly, and the relationship between the uncle and grandfather and the Sang family is naturally well known.

In this way, the power of the people behind the scenes should not be underestimated, and they must be much higher than their uncles and grandfathers operating behind the scenes, otherwise how dare they provoke the Sang family without a certain degree of certainty? After all, the Sang family is recognized as a family of goodness, and if the Sang family cannot retreat from it, it will be drowned by the spittle of the people, and the gains will outweigh the losses. It is impossible for the people behind the scenes not to understand this truth.

In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, my grandfather is the fourth-grade prefect of Luzhou, and my uncle is from the fifth-grade Guide Lang General, which is already very remarkable, and some people are afraid that they will not be able to rise to this position in their lifetime. However, in the eyes of the people behind the scenes, the little prefect and the general of Guide Lang are not afraid at all, can the little magistrate put it in their eyes? Naturally, he has no scruples and is very unscrupulous, as if the wealth of the Sang family will be at his fingertips immediately.

If the Sang family didn't involve uncles and aunts, Mei Yixuan might sigh, lament the impermanence of the world, and secretly condemn the shamelessness, greed, viciousness and cold-bloodedness of the people behind the scenes, and would not rush to help.

After all, as long as you make a move, even with the help of space and Xiaocui, it will inevitably leave some traces. But now, she has no choice but to help. Whether it was because she had used the identity of a child of the Sang family in the capital, or because of the relationship between her uncle and aunt, she couldn't stand by and watch.

And judging from the situation that Xue Bajin came back to say, my uncle definitely doesn't know about the Sang family at the moment, even if he knows, my uncle is busy building a guard and secretly looking for traitors, I'm afraid he will not be able to take care of this side.

And the ancestral house of the Sang family, it was too late to get the news and rush to it, and the water could not quench the thirst of the near. I just caught up, how could I watch something happen to the Sang family?

It's just that what crime did the Sang family commit? When did the imperial court send officers and soldiers to besiege it? When did the imperial court have such a law? I heard the people around me talk about the Sang family's lawsuit, and since it is a lawsuit, it should belong to the category of civil litigation, so it has not risen to a criminal offense, and the people behind the scenes are not afraid of the imperial court investigating their dereliction of duty? Who is the person behind the scenes? Isn't he too bold? Or is there some kind of support behind it, so he is so unscrupulous and has no scruples?!

Also, how did the Sang Mansion get into the lawsuit, looking at the siege posture of the officers and soldiers, the Sang Mansion caused a lot of trouble, but there must be a reason.

So, she seemed to inadvertently whisper to the two men next to her who were talking in a low voice: "Two brothers, may I ask, Sang Mansion······· What the hell is going on?"

One of the short and fat men glanced at Mei Yixuan cautiously, and looked at him left and right: "Ah, hehe, there is an accident in the Sang Mansion, I know it, I don't know what's going on, hehe······"

Another tall and thin man looked around with a strained face, and pulled the short and fat man into the crowd, and after a while he couldn't find it.

Mei Yixuan frowned, and when he saw that the people around him were secretive, he glanced at Feifeng.

Feifeng nodded secretly and went into the crowd to listen to the news.

After a while, Feifeng came back and whispered a few words in Mei Yixuan's ear.

"What?······" Mei Yixuan was a little surprised and almost screamed, but fortunately, he swallowed the voice back into his throat in time and did not attract the attention of the people around him.

The methods of the people behind the scenes are too despicable and too inferior!

Sang Zibo is not short of heart, how can he sign such an outrageous contract? If they can't deliver the goods on time, they will pay ten times the compensation! They are really crazy about money, and they can do such a thing that lacks morality!

Also, how could the gastrodia in the warehouse disappear overnight? It turned into preserved fruit? The guards all fell asleep? The ghost didn't believe it!
