Chapter 573: Negotiation
After looking for a day, Hongfu and Fusang couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and the patriarch knew something strange and ordered someone to go to the two girls' rooms to check carefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The widowed mother checked carefully, found that she was soft under her pillow, and looked at the lack of jewelry and a change of clothes, like five thunderbolts, only to know that her daughter did not say goodbye.
The patriarch was furious, and secretly hated that these two people had already planned to flee privately, and they didn't know where to go.
If it were the usual, the patriarch would definitely hunt down and kill people at the ends of the earth, and he would definitely take people back. This time is different from the past, and there is no spare energy in the clan to deal with the two girls, so they can only put this matter aside for the time being.
Thinking of the egg noodle soup made by the girl that day, it was actually the eternal secret with herself, and the widowed mother couldn't cry silently, only dragging the corner of the patriarch's clothes, begging him to be the old man's master.
The patriarch of the clan had always been patient and considerate, and could not bear to blame the poor woman. He comforted her a few words and ordered someone to withdraw her to Yuping Mountain first.
For fear of leaking the news, the patriarch ordered someone to quietly continue to search near Cangnan County to see if he could find the whereabouts of the two girls. The people who came out were naturally in vain, where did they think that these two people were so bold that they went straight to the imperial city.
In the old house of the Su family, everyone knew that the rainstorm was coming, and they focused all their energy on relocation. Packing up things during the day, and moving to the mountainside every night, I was very busy.
At this time, a storm of reshuffling Jiangyin has begun to blow rapidly from Yangzhou, covering the entire Jiangyin area in a few days, and Cangnan and Zhengyang counties have also been affected.
That is, after the Yangzhou County Shou and Jiangyin Taishou were arrested, another group of officials followed in their footsteps. Xiao Luochen showed the holy decree, and together with a group of corrupt officials under their hands, they were directly escorted to the capital.
Several officials from Lishan Academy set out from Huaizhou and quickly filled the gaps in Yangzhou and other places, while appeasing the local people and continuing to investigate the remnants of these criminal officials' comrades.
With Jiangyin's actions, Jingzhong is also a thunderbolt.
The Qianlong Guard and the forbidden army joined forces to surround the mansion of Liu Ben, the imperial historian, in the middle of the night, and lifted him from the couch of the concubine. Liu Ben's denial was useless, there was a secret compartment hidden in his outer study, from which Qianlong Wei found a large number of Fushou ointment, letters exchanged with the Su family's old mansion, and the holy relics of the Millennium Sect and so on.
Liu Ben repented, those letters were originally the capital he wanted to follow Su Duhan and Su Guangfu in order to invite credit in the future, and he was not willing to destroy them, and now they have become evidence of his unforgivable crimes.
The letter is full of rebellious rhetoric and involves some of the secrets of the Millennial Church. Liu Bendang was imprisoned, all the property of the Liu family was confiscated, all the men were imprisoned, and Qian Weizhen's two sons were imprisoned together.
Qian Weizhen heard the news of Liu Ben's accident and was terrified.
I didn't dare to go to the herbal teahouse again, Su Guangfu had no news, and I heard that Su Duhan was not in Beijing. Qian Weizhen has no one to discuss, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, for fear that he will be the next to be caught.
Although he did not receive a letter from his son Ping'an, Qian Wei was really lucky, and felt that no news was good news.
Now that the sky is full of wind and rain, the things hidden in the alleys are like hot potatoes, Qian Weizhen wants to take risks at night, go to the private house again, and gather the money and wealth there, so as to prepare for negotiating conditions with Su Guangfu again.
At the time of the third watch, they changed into black night clothes, Qian Weizhi and Ah Cheng drove lightly, planning to go out at night.
The back door opened the crack, looking at the cold light of the blades in the hands of the forbidden army under the moonlight, Ah Cheng, who was walking in front, was already as earth-colored, turned back to Qian Weizhen and said in a panic: "Master, I can't get out, there are all forbidden troops outside." ”
Qian Weizhen staggered away from the people, looked out through the crack in the door, and found that the Qian Mansion had already been surrounded by the forbidden army. In the silent night, the long sword in the hands of the forbidden army was like water, and the cold light was extremely terrifying.
The Songming torch was lit high, illuminating the entire Qian Mansion as if it were daytime, reflecting Qian Weizhen's dejected and depressed face.
General Xiao Li was ordered to take people personally, and according to the roster, he took down more than 100 people from the Qian family to the master and the slaves, and read the holy decree on the spot, ordering the people of the Qian Mansion to be temporarily thrown into the edict prison, and Qian Weizhen was immediately escorted to the palace.
Since Qian Weizhen is known as the money fox, his ability to play tricks is naturally first-class.
He deceived General Li for his youth, sometimes crying, sometimes full of righteous indignation, saying that he had suffered a great grievance and wanted to resist to the end. Seeing that General Xiao Li was unmoved, Qian Weizhen was stubborn again, refusing to be easily ambushed, and insisted that General Xiao Li tell his charges.
General Xiao Li followed his father Li Zhifang to the battlefield, rolling and crawling in the pile of dead people, where to see Qian Weizhen's face in his eyes. In the face of Qian Weizhen's denial, he held the spear horizontally in his hand, and swept the barrel of Qian Weizhen's leg at the bend of his legs, hitting him to his knees and falling to the ground.
General Xiao Li pointed at the silver gun in his hand and said coldly: "Qian Weizhen, your crimes are too numerous to mention, and you should be punished for all crimes." The charges of participating in rebellion, perverting the law for bribes, and illegally withholding military salaries are enough to cut you with a thousand knives. ”
So far, as expected. Qian Weizhen had already had the will to die, even if he gritted his teeth and refused to confess, he only hoped to delay time for Su Duhan and his son.
Looking at the Wei Zhao family proposed in prison, as well as his two sons and daughter-in-law's family, Qian Weizhen's face was like dirt, and he was shocked to realize that he had fallen short, and his previous actions were fully seen by others.
The two grandchildren were crying loudly, but they were stopped by the forbidden army, and they were so frightened that they curled up to the side and were very pitiful.
Seeing that the fair-skinned and ruddy child in the past now has a smaller face, Qian Wei is really like a knife, and he really wants to protect his two grandchildren in his arms. However, the sword had no eyes, and the two sharp swords rested on his neck, and he couldn't move at all.
Looking at the entire Qian family, only Qian Gui left in time. She didn't know that Xixia had been turned upside down at this time, and she was still waiting anxiously in Yunnan, but she couldn't wait for half a figure in the house.
In the midst of the rumors, Su Guangfu quietly sneaked into Wuxi and met Su Duhan at the inn. Looking at the detailed plans of Su Duhan's paper and the Liang family's tricks, Su Guangfu shook his head with a smile, and only said that there was no need to be so troublesome.
The Liang family is not an ordinary businessman, they have close ties with the Cao Gang and the underworld, and they dare to buy and sell illicit salt and arms in private.
Profiteers are also heroes, who know how to seize the opportunity and are not afraid to take risks.
The Liang family always befriends the government and flatters the camp, but in the final analysis, they still want to seek fame and fortune. The account books in hand are enough to make them ruined, and they will know that they will not be consumed by profit, and they will seek greater benefits.
Su Guangfu copied the account books overnight, negotiated with Mrs. Liang and Mr. Liang alone, said his intentions straight to the point, and pointed out two ways for the Liang family.
