The timing of the appearance of the Royal Sailor was indeed too coincidental......

Just the whole army went north, but the smuggling merchant fleet went to sea and encountered the pirates all wiped out, and before half a day's effort, they came back, blocked the pirates in their lair and beat them up, and also wiped out a whole army.

There was silence in the hall.

All the Jiangnan Shi clan are resentful, everyone is smuggling, if they are arrested and confiscated by the sailor, even if they have nothing to say. But Fang Jun sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, watching the merchant fleet being slaughtered by pirates, but he had been standing by and watching, which was too much.

Everyone is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, so cruel and indifferent is unacceptable.

He Pingchuan's sentence said something that everyone haunted but didn't dare to say......

Xiao, as the master, sat upright, frowned tightly, and said to Xiao Cuo: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Cuo said respectfully: "Oh! ”

Then he straightened his waist, glanced around at the person who had just scolded him, and said coldly: "The specific situation when he was robbed and killed by pirates, I have already explained it to you just now, and I will not repeat it." When Ye and Xie Wenhua and Wang Qi were captured by pirates, at first they thought they were going to be used as meat tickets by pirates and extorted ransom from their families. But on the same day, a certain three people rested in the cabin, Wang Qi wanted to escape, was found by a certain and Xie Wenhua, stopped it, and later after interrogation, Wang Qi admitted that he colluded with pirates privately, trying to make huge profits from it, because he saw the pirates destroyed, he was afraid, so he planned to abscond in fear of crime. Later, because of the lax detention, Wang Qi broke free from the rope and jumped into the sea to drown, and committed suicide in fear of crime......"

"Fart!"

A middle-aged scribe with an ancient face stood up angrily, and scolded with his halberd finger: "If there is no proof of death, can you believe it and slander the innocence of the Wang family of Wu Langya?" ”

Xie Chengjie smiled: "The Langya Wang family who is the secretary of the princess is really a prominent family style, and the whole family is ......very innocent."

Langya Wang's lintel is prominent, "the king and the horse share the world" is a good story, the family is glorious two Jin, significant Southern Dynasties, but first there is Wang Dun rebellion, and then there is Wang Meng Sui , despised by the people of the world, causing a devastating blow to Wang's reputation.

The words of "heel is the minister" came from Yuan Lang, a great Confucian in the Southern Dynasty, "Although the heel of the evil king of Lang is the secretary of state, he is especially tired of the dynasty's meritorious service, and he is not in company." "I look down on the illustrious family of Langya Wang, but this sentence is a bit arrogant, and every time later generations talk about it, they are using it to ridicule Langya Wang's noble family, but they are not loyal and sincere......

When the people next to him heard this, some people wanted to laugh, but when they thought about the wealth and private soldiers buried on the sea, they really couldn't laugh, and the corners of their mouths were involved, and the appearance was more ugly than crying.

The middle-aged scribe with an ancient face was furious, his face was flushed, he slapped the case in front of him fiercely, and said angrily: "Old dog of the Xie family, dare to bully me Langya Wang Clan, no one?!" As he spoke, he picked up a rosewood flower stand placed on the side and threw it on Xie Chengjie's head.

He had a close friend around him, and hurriedly pulled him down.

This is the Xiao family, even when the prime minister of the dynasty comes here, he has to be courteous for three points, how can he be allowed to make trouble?

The middle-aged scribe angrily threw the rosewood trellis to the ground, separated from his friend's obstruction, and strode away.

Now that Wang Qi is dead, there is no proof of the so-called death, Xiao Cuo and Xie Wenhua said in unison that Wang Qi colluded with pirates to rob merchant ships, Langya Wang and Xiao have in-laws, Wang Qi is even related to Xiao Cuo's house, others may accuse Wang Qi, after all, they will not even accuse Xiao Cuo of him, right? If you really look for a substitute for the dead in order to shirk responsibility, Xie Wenhua, an outsider, is obviously more suitable than Wang Qi.

What's more, there is still Fang Jun's evidence, even if this lawsuit reaches Dali Temple, the Langya Wang family will inevitably sit on this black cauldron, which is indisputable......

Now the question is not to investigate whether Wang Qi colluded with pirates, but to negotiate a countermeasure to face the questions and challenges that come from the major families.

I can't say it, and I even have to make a sky-high compensation......

Out of the gate of the Golden Bamboo Garden, the middle-aged scribe waited for the carriage, stopped in front of the door, looked up at the gray sky, and sighed.

At the beginning, the Langya Wang clan crossed to the south, and with the outstanding children of the clan, they overwhelmed a group of overseas Chinese surnames and Wu surnames, and became the first major family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now it is plummeting, not only tarnishing the reputation of the ancestors, but also dispersing the accumulated family industry for hundreds of generations......

The carriage came, and the middle-aged scribe jumped into the carriage and urged again and again.

It is necessary to rush home as soon as possible and consult with the elders of the clan on how to survive this crisis......

*****

A group of Jiangnan scholars met in Jinzhuyuan, and did not leave until evening.

The Xiao family is enthusiastic to stay, and they have even prepared dinner, but where do these family leaders still have the heart to stay and drink and enjoy? They all hurried back to discuss and see how to eliminate the future troubles and recover the losses as much as possible......

Xie Chengjie also took Xie Wenhua away, and when he went out of the gate, he was followed by the officials of Huating Town.

Fang Jun had an order to allow Xiao Cuo and Xie Wenhua to return home to visit and discuss, but they were absolutely not allowed to escape without permission. In fact, whether it is the Xiao family or the Xie family, after learning that Wang Qi colluded with pirates, where can Xiao Cuo or Xie Wenhua escape?

But if there is a way, no one wants to provoke Fang Jun's mallet......

As soon as everyone dispersed, Xiao rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and beckoned to Xiao Cuo: "Come to the inner room with a certain person and tell me the details of the situation." ”

With that, he got up and walked to the inner room.

Xiao Mao followed, and Xiao Mao followed suit.

When he came to the inner room, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, Xiao with a tired face opened the curtain and walked in, sat down directly at Xiao's head, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Cuo's face, and said coldly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Cao swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to hide anything, and told the matter in detail, even the agreement with Fang Junzhi was not missing a word.

Finally, he said: "My nephew doesn't know if this is the right thing to do, but I thought that my nephew was the person in charge of this fleet, and my Xiao family was also one of the initiators and initiators of this smuggling...... If there is anything wrong with this move, the nephew is willing to bear some consequences, as long as he does not drag down the family, he will be broken and have no complaints. ”

When he said this, Xiao Cuo's expression was firm and his tone was sonorous, he regarded the interests of the family as the supreme position, and was willing to sacrifice everything for the family, even if he became a sinner.

This set of rhetoric and demeanor, when he returned to the ship, he had simulated it countless times, and at this moment he came at his fingertips and played perfectly......

Xiao was quite pleased, and praised with his chin: "Be decisive in case of trouble, dare to act, and deserve to be the pillar of the Xiao family!" You handle this matter well, don't worry, as long as it is Wang Qi who colluded with pirates to steal the goods, others will not help us. ”

He was very satisfied with Xiao Cuo's choice of Wang Qi as the "substitute ghost", precisely because Wang Qi and the Xiao family had in-laws, no one would suspect that Xiao Cuo was doing something from it, plus the Xie family's children participated together, Fang Jun corroborated from the side, this matter is already a certainty, and no one will not believe it.

If you don't believe it, you have to believe it!

If anyone questions it, it is to question the Xiao family, question the Xie family, and question Fang Jun!

Looking at Jiangnan, which family has eaten the leopard's gall and dares to oppose these three forces together? As for uniting, it is even more impossible, both the Xiao family and the Xie family have their own allies, and Fang Jun will support them from behind, unless they don't want to mix in the territory of Jiangnan, they can only pinch their noses and admit it......

Xiao was very satisfied with Xiao Cuo's disposition, Xiao Mao naturally put his mind at ease, Xiao Cuo was his son, and he was the most outstanding son of his, and he was overjoyed to be able to get the always strict and deep patriarch Xiao Ping's sentence "The pillar of my family".

Only Xiao frowned, and sighed: "This time, my family owes Fang Jun a great favor, not only that, this son is deep and cunning and wise, such a big handle falls into Fang Jun's hands, who knows what he plans in the future?" In this way, it's not enough to be afraid of a concubine......"
