Volume 1 Jinghua Fengyun (I) Chapter 81 Waves
"Go on! Let me deal with him! Tian Zifang shouted, rushed forward, and pounced on it with a punch.
The punch was very powerful, and with a gust of wind, it slammed straight into the chest of the bearded man.
The big man saw that he had come closer, and in a dodge, the white light was dazzling, and he had an extra dagger in his hand, tossing and turning, detouring behind Tian Zifang, and was about to stab him in the back.
"Brother Tian, be careful behind your back!" Lu Chengfeng shouted in a hurry, and he really pinched a cold sweat for Tian Zifang in his heart.
But seeing Tian Zifang a few feet away, he touched a ring ruler on the side of the bookcase in the account room, and with a wave of his backhand, he blocked the blade of the dagger!
While playing, he laughed leisurely and laughed:
"Your Highness, Lord Wu, don't worry! I, Tian Zifang, have always liked two things in my life, one is drinking, and the other is fighting. My favorite is to fight after drinking! Leave it to me! ”
Between the words, his ring ruler seemed to have turned into a big knife in his palm, majestic, brushing and waving rapidly, slashing several times, forcing the bearded man to retreat more than ten steps in a row, but he had no way to retreat, and was forced into a corner!
The man was still high-spirited, and he put the five-inch dagger on his hands together, and resisted desperately.
Seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed, Tian Zifang suddenly withdrew the ring ruler in his hand and shouted:
"I just heard you talk to the bookkeeper, and although I don't know what you are talking about, I think you look like a good man! As long as you don't disturb my two adults to investigate the case, I will let you go today! ”
The bearded man did not kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but put away the dagger in his hand, surprised and delighted, and said:
"My lord? Investigating the case? I don't know the names of the two adults? What kind of case is being investigated? ”
"This is Lord Wu of Jingzhao Mansion, and that is His Royal Highness the Little Emperor Sun!"
Tian Zifang introduced them one by one, because he was afraid that he would be abrupt again, so he crossed his hands on his waist and stood in front of him, like a mountain blocking the river.
"Brother Tian, it's okay. I just listened to his words, but I also look like a loyal person who worries about the country and the people, let him come over, let's get to know each other. ”
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Highness!" That Tian Zifang consciously bowed his body and gave way to it.
The man stepped forward and knelt down, and said excitedly:
"Is this His Royal Highness the Little Emperor Sun? That must be the parent official of Jinghua City? Two nobles, I have something important to say! ”
"Please!" Wu Jingmo helped the man up and said gently, "The hero wants to inform the two of us, but what's wrong with the ship?" Is it that the grain carried on the ship is not counting? ”
"Lord Wu Mingjian!" The man was a fierce man, and he kowtowed again and again:
"I am the captain of the 11th fleet of the Daqing Wharf Branch of the Canal Road, my name is Wei Lao Qi, you can call me Lao Qi, the brothers in the gang are called so. I, Wei Laoqi, was fortunate to meet two nobles here today! There are no regrets about dying today! ”
Lu Chengfeng saw that he was already looking at death as if he were at home, and he was surprised in his heart:
Could it be that this grain ship is short and less than two catties? Wrong! What he had just questioned the bookkeeper was that the boat had not taken the right draft and had almost run aground in the Repulse Bay of the Jiuqu River. Then, it's not that there is less luck, but that there is too much luck!
Only if it is overloaded can the ship be overweight and draught, there will be a worry of running aground. However, if the overloaded grain has arrived safely in Jinghua City, isn't it safe? More is better than less! Why hold on to this?
It's also weird! Could it be that this Cao Gang will deliberately overload and fail to make that money-losing deal? You know, they charge a commission from the government based on weight! And listening to the intention of this Wei Laoqi, it is obviously because the actual weight is not the right scale with the weight on the face of the government!
Thinking about what they had seen and heard in secret, and what the bookkeeper had said, there must be something strange about this matter!
only listened to the bearded man who was old and angry, but with a crying voice, he was very worried:
"His Royal Highness the Emperor and Emperor Qi, Lord Wu, I found that the grain ship I was responsible for escorting this time was not grain at all, but sediment!"
When Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo heard this, their faces changed greatly, like a landslide and the ground cracked!
Tian Zifang took a big sip and couldn't help but scold the street:
"I'll his uncle! These turtle grandchildren! Dare to do such a lack of morality! I don't think they take the Tianli King Law in their eyes at all, everything is like shit and pee in the crotch of his pants! Mess around! ”
Wu Jingmo's face turned pale, his eyes were distracted, and he asked slowly:
"How did you find out? Is the whole ship there? ”
"I saw that the draft of the fleet was wrong this time, so I sampled the grain on each ship, but unexpectedly, I opened more than a dozen bags, and there was some mud and sand inside!"
Wei Laoqi said indignantly, because considering that the two nobles in front of him might not understand their Cao Gang, he hurriedly explained:
The two adults also knew that the Cao Gang was in business, and it was impossible for them to set up a bond with the government to draw a pledge, and they also helped him deliberately overload. We all collect money according to the tonnage approved by the government! No one is going to do this loss-making business! ”
"Where is the grain you were talking about?"
Lu Chengfeng's eyes had already had an earthquake in his pupils, and he scolded this damn gang of daring people in his heart!
I thought that they were just involved in the Jiang family's extermination case, but he didn't expect that now there was another big event that shocked him even more! When he was angry, he also wanted to spit fragrant like that Tian Zifang.
"When it arrived at the wharf outside the city, it was picked up by the cart and horse of the helm. I had been secretly following all the way, but when I arrived at the main rudder, I didn't expect to run into the annual river god sacrifice ceremony and was dispersed by the crowd. My fellow countryman is a bookkeeper at the helm, and I thought I'd ask him first. ”
Wei Laoqi pointed to the man on the ground and said.
"So you're lost? I don't know where the fake grain was stored. Lu Chengfeng said with a smile and a cry.
Originally, they came to the Cao Gang tonight to search for human and physical evidence for the Jiang family's murder case, but they didn't expect that no evidence had been found in that case.
I'm worried that I won't get anything tonight, but I've met the current thing again! What a sudden ripple!
Now it's good! A wave of unsettled waves!
Lu Chengfeng thought about it, but listened to the old seven of Wei's intentions, and arched his hand:
"I came here with the determination to die, but now that I have already told the two adults! Even if I Wei Lao Qi has three longs and two shorts in the future, I will die without regrets! ”
It sounds very emotional, and it is very tragic! Presumably, it is expected that the Cao Gang will not let him go in the future!
Since I don't know, let's honestly check the account books! Maybe there's a clue they're looking for!
Wu Jingmo suggested.
The four of them buried their heads in rummaging through boxes and cabinets and searched for them.
