"Something happened?" Hearing Shang Que's words, Mu Fan's heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to my master?"

"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk. Shang Que took Mu Fan to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Boss Shang, what's going on?" Mu Fan still has the heart to drink tea now, as the old saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, when Mu Fan first arrived, it was Jiao Xiang who helped him, and taught him the practice of steamed buns without reservation. Later, Mrs. He Wang treated Mu Fan as a son and spared no effort to help him take care of him. Mu Fan had long regarded Jiao Xiang and them as his relatives, and when he heard that something had happened to the other party, how could he not be in a hurry.

"Mu Gongzi, let me ask you first, is the smuggled goods in Jiao's Mansion that you gave to your master?" Shang Que asked, "It's the statue of Zhuge Immortal, and the makeup mirror." ”

Mu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he nodded and said, "That's right, I gave it to the master and the master." ”

And so it was. Shang Que sighed and said, "A few days ago, the government suddenly searched Jiaofu in the name of colluding with smugglers, and found these two contraband. Now your master and your mother have been imprisoned in Luxiang Prison. ”

Hearing this, Mu Fan's mind was like a thunderclap, which shook his heart and muttered, "How can this be, how can this be......"

"I've already inquired, and it's said that someone reported it to the government. Shang Que asked, "When you gave the contraband to Lao Hei, was it seen by others?"

"Steward Meng?" Mu Fan's first thought was Meng Guang, when he and Jiao Xiang were talking in the study, they were indeed listened to by Meng Guang. But in the blink of an eye, Mu Fan muttered again. Meng Guang is a person who knows the importance of importance, and has followed Jiao Xiang for many years. If he had the possibility of reporting, Jiao Xiang would never let him go easily. Besides, reporting Jiao Xiang is harmful to Meng Guang, and he has no motive to report.

"You mean Meng Guang?" Shang Que shook his head slightly, "I still know Meng Guang, and it can be said that he is more loyal to Lao Hei. And the news of Lao Hei's arrest was the first one he came to inform me, judging by his expression, the whistleblower should not be him. ”

"Boss Shang, where is Steward Meng now?" asked Mu Fan.

"The house has been sealed, and all the people have been dismissed. Shang Que replied: "But in Luxiang City, it is not difficult to find two people. ”

"The mansion has been sealed?" Mu Fan frowned, "My master is not a smuggler, just two pieces of smuggling, how can it be so serious?"

Before, both Shang Que and Jiao Xiang had indicated to Mu Fan that in the entire six districts of Xudu, the trade in contraband was well known, and there was no way to completely eradicate it. Although the law imposed harsh penalties for the purchase of contraband, it was lenient in practice. casually touched it, and after the rumors, he was basically acquitted. is also the reason why Mu Fan gave Jiao Xiang and others smuggled goods, and Jiao Xiang and they dared to accept them.

"This time the situation is more special, if it is the lord of Bao City, with the friendship between us, we can make this matter small and trivial. Shang Que said with some hatred: "But the whistleblower is really hateful, and he actually directly found the chief official who came to inspect and reported Lao Hei." ”

"You mean, Pan Feng?" asked Mu Fan tentatively.

"Yes, that's him. Shang Que replied: "You also know that Lao Hei deliberately pretended to be sick in order not to cook for Pan Feng. This made Pan Feng unhappy, but he happened to receive a report again, so he didn't even say hello, and directly took someone to search Jiaofu, and gave an order to let the city lord of Bao investigate to the end and punish him severely. ”

"Dig deeper?" Mu Fan was slightly stunned.

"Yes, according to my inquiry, the whistleblower showed that Jiao Xiang and the others were not ordinary buyers of contraband, but had a close relationship with the smugglers, and it was very likely that they were also among the smugglers. Shang Que paused, looked at Mu Fan and said, "And the smuggler mentioned in the whistleblower is your Mu Gongzi." ”

Hearing this, Mu Fan was basically sure that this whistleblower was Hu Wei. The reason why he reported Jiao Xiang was to take revenge on himself, but he didn't expect this guy's heart to be so vicious.

"I hurt Master and Master. Mu Fan smiled bitterly, "Boss Shang, am I now Shang Qingfang's wanted criminal?"

"No, it's about evidence. Shang Que replied, "Lao Hei and your master did not confess to you in prison, but took all the crimes on themselves. I've checked up and down, and the jailers won't be executing them for the time being. However, Pan Feng bites this matter more tightly, I think it won't last long, and I will torture them to extract confessions. ”

Although Shang Que has a good relationship with the city lord Bao Yuan, now Pan Feng holds the handle of Jiao Xiang in his hand, and he is the main inspection leader of Luxiang City's selection of civilized cities. Bao Yuan naturally would not go against Pan Feng's will for the sake of Jiao Xiang. So now, Jiao Xiang's situation is very dangerous.

"Boss Shang, is there any way to save me?" Mu Fan hurriedly asked.

"There is a solution, first of all, we must find the whistleblower, ask him to change his words, remove the suspicion of Jiao Xiang smuggler, and turn the crime back to the illegal purchase of contraband. Shang Que said: "And then send some benefits to Pan Feng, I have already sent someone to inquire about Pan Feng's preferences, as long as we do what he likes, we should be able to rescue Lao Hei." ”

"Thank you, Boss Shang, for your help. Mu Fan thanked him from the bottom of his heart, if it wasn't for Shang Que's help, Mu Fan really didn't know what to do for a while.

"Lao Hei and I have a lot of friendship, if it was me who was in trouble, he would never die without help. Shang Que waved his hand and said, "It's just that the whistleblower is only known to Pan Feng, and I haven't been able to find out yet." ”

"I have a suspicion. Mu Fan said.

"Oh, who is it?" said Shang Que's face was delighted.

"I have to ask Steward Meng before I can be sure. Mu Fan arched his hand at Shang Que and said, "Boss Shang, can you please send someone to find Steward Meng?"

"It's a little thing. Shang Que got up and said, "Mu Gongzi is here for a while, and I'll give an order." ”

"There is labor. Mu Fan nodded.

Shang Que opened the door and stepped out. After about half a pillar of incense, Shang Que returned. Behind him, a man was closely followed, it was Meng Guang.

"Steward Meng, please come in. Shang Que said sideways.

Meng Guang nodded his hand, walked into the study, and looked up to meet Mu Fan in front of the table. exclaimed in surprise, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop.
