Chapter 139: Is the Dust Settled?
The Xiao Mansion was suddenly infiltrated, and Mrs. Daxi disappeared with her, but Xiao Yuzhi, the young master of the Xiao Mansion, did not show any panic.
Since he took over the burden of the Xiao family, compared with the previous old owner, he is much more ruthless, as the so-called no treacherous business, no business is not treacherous, and this Xiao Yuzhi has taken this point to the extreme, so he will put his brains on the disaster money and the people.
"Did you find out who had sneaked into the house?" The one who asked was the big shopkeeper of the Xiao family, and Xiao Teng, Xiao Yuzhi's own uncle.
"It's a man and a woman, masked, can't see their faces clearly!" The guards kneeling in the hall answered.
"Just two people dare to visit our Xiao Mansion at night......" Xiao Yuzhi touched his chin and pondered, this Xiao Yuzhi looked handsome with a white face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and the mole at the end of his eyes made him even more delicate.
It's just that the whole body is full of the wealth and cunning of a businessman.
"That woman said she was lonely for a thousand nights!" After speaking, the guard presented the hidden weapon of the Blood Killing Village.
Xiao Yuzhi picked up the hidden weapon and looked at it, his eyebrows couldn't help but twist into a ball, this secret weapon is the blood slaughter village, yes, but the female devil never reports her home, it seems that someone is pretending.
Xiao Teng also took the hidden weapon and looked at it, and continued to ask, "Then do you know where Mrs. Daxi has gone?" ”
"I don't know, when the little ones wake up, they will have long disappeared, and the housekeeper was poisoned to death, it should be the poison of Mrs. Daxi."
Xiao Teng waved his hand after hearing this, and several guards who were kneeling down retreated one after another, and Xiao Teng fell on Xiao Yuzhi on the side.
"Goyuki. This must be the idea that someone from above has been sent to check on us, and you have long been told not to pay for the disaster, so now the trouble is coming! ”
"That's why my father didn't hand over the Xiao Mansion to my uncle to manage, if you are so timid, you will never be able to become a big thing!" Xiao Yuzhi glanced at Xiao Teng, not taking this uncle in his eyes at all.
Xiao Teng is angry, he knows this nephew too well, if he offends him, it must be very difficult to retain the title of the big shopkeeper in Xiao Mansion!
"Recently there have been a couple of strangers coming to town. I think I came from Kyoto. Maybe they are from the imperial court, and they probably have been eyeing us for a long time! It was Xiao Lin, the second shopkeeper of the Xiao Mansion, who spoke, and Xiao Yuzhi's second aunt, looking at her shrewd and capable appearance. Presumably it is also the soul of Xiao Mansion.
"It's rare that my aunt has noticed it too." Xiao Yuzhi played with the hidden weapon in his hand. Go on. "The whereabouts of these people are uncertain, and several times the young master has sent people to follow them, but they have failed. Even if he is not a member of the imperial court, he is a ruthless person. ”
At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside the door, "Report to the young master, Chen Qingyun, the son of the Jin'an County Order, ask to see!" ”
Before Xiao Yuzhi could figure it out, Chen Qingyun limped and crawled into the inner hall.
"Yo! Why does Lord Chen have time to come to my Xiao Mansion today? Xiao Yuzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help, although Chen Qingqing was not a fart in his eyes, but he was an official in size, and he still knew these etiquettes as a businessman.
"Oh no, our silver has been robbed by bandits." Chen Qingyun looked frightened, and he also had large and small injuries on his body, and it seemed that he had escaped.
"What silver?" Xiao Yuzhi deliberately sold Guanzi, although he knew it very well in his heart, but who knows if Chen Qingyun has fallen into the pit and wants to pull him along?
"It's the batch of silver taels we re-poured!" Chen Qingyun was a little anxious, Xiao Yuzhi obviously wanted to shirk his responsibility.
"Young Master Ben doesn't understand what Master Chen is talking about! Come on, send Lord Chen to the wing room to rest, please doctor! ”
After Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, he stepped forward to the two guards and helped Chen Qingyun down, and Chen Qingyun had no chance to speak at all.
Xiao Yuzhi dusted off the dust on his body and said lightly, "It seems that they have already started to act!" ”
"So what to do?" Xiao Teng hurriedly stood up, looking scared.
"We're just merchants, and we're not the ones who actually came up with the Disaster Silver!" Xiao Yuzhi showed that fox-like smile and looked at Xiao Teng and Xiao Lin, "Uncle, aunt, wait to see the show!" ”
Xiao Teng and Xiao Lin looked at each other, and no one could guess what Xiao Yuzhi was thinking in his heart.
That night, Xiao's Mansion was suddenly on fire, and the side hall where Mrs. Daxi used to live was burned to pieces, and the evidence about the poison was naturally burned clean, and now even if Mrs. Daxi came out to testify in person, no one would believe it.
Within a few days, the city was in an uproar, and rumors about someone poisoning the villagers were also spreading more and more, and for a while, the whole city was panicked.
At this time, Xiao Yuzhi also sent someone to make a hindrance and spread another rumor, saying that the poison must have been ordered by someone from the government, and the act of buying medicine and distributing it to the people was actually a money laundering business, and the disaster money was privately swallowed into his own purse.
This trick pushed the boat down the river, not only pushed all the charges on the head of the government, but also set up a victim posture after being coerced and lured by the government, not only that, but also found people to surround the government, parade in the streets, and the matter got bigger and bigger, and those officials were all arrested before they had time to explain. And those officials who were imprisoned also died, and they also made a scene of suicide in fear of crime.
The arrester was Sima Yu, the minister of the Qincha who came from Anping County, and of course, he also came to arrest him after receiving the holy decree of the sage. Although they are all small mice, it is not a pity for these corrupt officials to die, Xiao Yuzhi is like this, but it has saved Xian Xian a lot of things.
"This Xiao Yuzhi retreated with his whole body." Jian Xian stood by the window with his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Do you want Weichen to investigate again?" Sima Yu asked.
"That's it! At present, it is estimated that nothing can be found! Just leave him in Xiao Mansion for a while! ”
"Yes!" After Sima Yu finished speaking, he took out an old account book from his chest, but most of it was burned, "The subordinates are not doing well, and they have failed to protect the account books!" After saying that, he fell to his knees.
Xian Xian stepped forward to help Sima Yu, there were still obvious burn marks on the back of his hand, and Xian Xian patted Sima Yu on the shoulder, "You can't be blamed for this!" If you want to blame those old foxes, they are too cunning. There are too many people involved in this disaster, and a few of them have been killed, which can be regarded as an example, and it is estimated that they will not dare to mess around again! ”
"As for this Lu Guanxi, I will go and meet him in person! But before you meet him, you have to meet this Xiao Yuzhi first! Isn't he Lu Zhen's brother-in-law? (To be continued.) )
