Chapter Seventy-Five: Who Is It?
This time, the hijacking of the goods of the merchants in Baicheng can be said to be the first time in these years, and everyone has encountered this situation, and they have all been enlightened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
These merchants were all big families in the White City, and some of them lost a million taels of silver, and many of them had thousands of taels.
This is nearly a year's worth of goods, and it's gone.
If you want to restock and stock up, you need not only silver, but also time.
It can be as small as a few months, or as long as half a year.
Some merchants have booked with customers, but they didn't want to say that the goods were gone, and they lost their trust.
It's really too late to prepare the goods to the capital again.
At that time, the shops in the capital were selling well, and they may have been out of stock for a long time.
What to do?
Due to this unexpected disaster, all the plans of the merchants were disrupted.
As soon as Master Tao and Old Man Xiao returned to Baicheng, they didn't even rest, so they organized various merchants to study what to do?
It's impossible for them to lose all the goods and not say a word, that's too embarrassing.
And they sat together and sighed, and took counsel about it.
Brother Xiao, you say a few words, and I don't know who proposed.
Since the accident, Old Man Xiao asked his subordinates to spread the news to the capital, and according to the time, it may take a few days to reach his second brother.
His second brother is the Shuntian Mansion Cheng in Beijing, and he has the power and the right to ask for people, so he is currently the most qualified to speak.
Master Xiao also took it as a deed, and sighed there and said:
"The goods in the shop in Beijing may not be available after a while, and it will be too late for us to reproduce the goods, so the main thing at present is to find those goods."
The merchants nodded when they heard this, and they were right, a small year's worth of goods was lost, and reproduction was no longer possible.
But then again, how to find it?
The government has always been perfunctory, and there are few cases that can be found out.
Usually, when they have no backing, they all use silver money to settle things, and if there is less money, it must become a no, but sometimes there is a lot of money, and they should not be able to find out and not find out.
This time the matter is so big, you have to spend a lot of money not to mention, and it may not be able to achieve results, which is clear to everyone.
But it is impossible for them to find it themselves, because those robbers are all good hands, and their little guys have been beaten to death, and it is impossible to send someone to find them themselves.
For a while, everyone was at an impasse and there was no way out.
Just when everyone was silent, I don't know who roared
"We can't help it, then we can only find the government, I don't believe that we look for it every day, they won't be able to find out any clues. ”
One sentence made the merchants enlightened, yes, they have to find the government.
The people's things have been robbed, who can they find if they don't look for the government, they don't do small things, don't they do big things? I don't believe it, if we make a big deal, they can still sit firmly in the court and not go to find it for us.
"Yes, that's right, let's go to the gate of the county government together.
"Yes, if they don't look for it, we'll go to them every day."
After the group finished speaking, they walked towards the yamen.
……
At this time, it was unusually quiet in a courtyard far away in the capital.
The ancient trees in the shade, rockery lake pool, is very cool.
But the strange thing is that there is not a single flower in the whole yard, not even a single plant with small flowers, and there are only a few old trees on the side of the road with the black gui below, which is a bit out of place in this blooming summer.
After a short time, a gray long-shirted waiter ran into the courtyard in a panic, stepped on the dirt on the side of the road in a hurry, cursed secretly, and did not stop his steps, still rubbing the soles of his shoes all the way, and walked straight to the front yard of the main house.
"The master can be inside, I have something urgent to report," the waiter in the long shirt stood outside the door and guarded the door, and the two subordinates said.
The two subordinates saw that this man was stepping on the dirt all the way, their faces were not happy, and they glanced at this person and said:
"The master is resting, I'll talk about it later!"
"Two little brothers, Xu really has something to do, this matter is not trivial, if it is delayed, I am afraid that there will be an incident, the sooner the master knows"
The two subordinates looked at each other, and after a while, there was an echo, "Wait a minute, I'll go and talk about it" before turning back to the house to ask.
"Let him in!" Before the subordinate could take a step, a voice came from inside.
"Yes, master," the subordinate said respectfully.
The gray robe is a waiter who doesn't care too much, he is really a little anxious about something, and he doesn't wait for his subordinates to raise his feet and go inside.
I didn't stop when I came to the door of the main house, and I opened the door and went in.
I saw a young man in a dark brocade shirt sitting in the middle of the hall.
The man is as gentle as jade, with a kind complexion, and looks gentle and amiable.
The waiter in the long shirt knelt down and said, "Master, it's not good to have an accident."
"What's the matter?" said the man, calmly.
"All the goods of those merchants were robbed, and the man Gu Ran did not die, but went to the White City alive"
"Really?" the man's eyes changed slightly, and there was a slight smile on his warm face.
"Master, my subordinates should be damned, it's all my thoughtlessness"
The man took a sip of the teacup on the table and said, "Didn't you say that there is no cure for your brother's poison?
"This ...... The subordinates are also very incomprehensible, and they beg the master to punish him."
"Hehehe, punishment, you deserve to be punished, three times and twice sent someone to assassinate all failed, didn't the last time I reported that this person was indeed poisoned and went to ask for a divine doctor, could it be the hand of the divine doctor?"
"This, the subordinates haven't determined this matter yet"
"If that's the case, then that miracle doctor is too lenient, you go to check the source first, and then come back."
"Yes, master"
"Oh yes, you said those people lost their goods?"
"It's the young master, who was robbed"
"Who is so bold to rob me?" the man's face changed suddenly, and a bloodthirsty aura made the body of the attendant below tremble.
"Go, check me, check me hard, I want to see who kept that man alive and who can rob me of my food"
"Yes"
"You have three days"
For three days, the beads of sweat on the waiter's head unconsciously dripped a few drops, and after saying "yes" in his mouth, Qiang got up from the ground and said goodbye.
The man in the dark brocade shirt in the house, after watching the waiter leave, shouted to his subordinates outside: "Someone is coming"
Outside the door, a subordinate enters the house "master"
"Go, follow the guy just now, and if he can't find out the results in three days, throw him into the backyard pool. ”
"Yes," the subordinate shook his body and exited the room.
The subordinates retreated to the door, and their steps were a little unsteady.
The person on the other side asked him what was wrong?
The subordinate pointed to the backyard and said, "Those things haven't eaten for a long time."
The person on the other side whispered, "Who's going to be the food?"
The subordinate trembled in fright and whispered, "That person just now"
"Huh?"
……
At this time, far away at the entrance of the Yamen of Baicheng County, it was already surrounded by people on the third floor and the outer three floors.
Inside are the merchants who have just been hijacked, and outside are the people watching the excitement of the White City.
