Chapter 178: Reaping the Consequences (4)

Zhuang Bing also fell into deep thought, but there must be nothing good to find them at this time.

"Okay, pack up, go see what kind of tricks our Taishou Lord is playing again!"

"In addition, let someone inform Ah San, let him show me the person, if there is a cold hair missing, I will only ask!"

A group of wealthy businessmen who can't get together on weekdays have come to Taishoufu in a regular manner, although they are not very willing, but since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and they had to rely on others.

"What do you say Taishou-sama is trying to do when you bring us together?" One asked.

Everyone was talking to each other, speculating about Zhang Guodong's intentions.

"Brother Wang, I don't know if you have heard about the influx of disaster victims into Jinling City recently, I guess Lord Taishou asked us to come and have something to do with this!"

Other people who heard this also came over, "I've heard a little rumor, but what does this matter have to do with us, disaster relief is a matter for the imperial court, and it's not our turn to intervene!" ”

"That's not what I said, although disaster relief is a matter for the imperial court. But if you really wait for the imperial court's disaster relief food money to come down, I'm afraid that the victims of the disaster will already be covered with corpses! ”

"And this disaster relief money, after the layers of deduction by those officials, has been left in the hands of the people."

……

No matter what they thought, Zhang Guodong followed Master Shangguan to the conference hall.

On the other side, they have already sent some masters to infiltrate the Zhuang Mansion and the Lu Mansion to investigate, hoping to find the traces of Song Xinshu.

"You must be very curious about what you were called here today, let Lord Shangguan tell us about it!"

This was discussed by them early in the morning, and Master Shangguan's official position was higher than that of Zhang Guodong, and it would be much easier for him to solve many things.

They all know that Master Shangguan is from the capital, and they don't know his identity very well, but there are only a few surnames of Shangguan, and everyone is still quite jealous of him.

"Without further ado, I asked you to come here today for something. You should all know about the influx of disaster victims into Jinling City, and if you wait for the imperial court's disaster relief food, the victims will be strewn all over the field. ”

Therefore, I hope that all of you can help each other at this time, and those who have money will contribute money and those who have food to get through this difficult time together. Don't worry, you won't take these things for nothing, and the government will compensate you! Now I'll take the lead! ”

After Master Shangguan finished speaking, he threw a stack of silver tickets in, and Zhang Guodong followed closely.

Those people were reluctant to give money and food, but seeing them like this, they were not allowed to bleed.

It's just that I resented them in my heart, where is this to discuss with them, it's like chasing ducks to the shelves.

If I don't take things out now, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future.

I don't know who came up with this bad idea? If they find out, they'll give her some color!

Song Xinshu, who was escorted back to the room, felt that his nose was a little itchy, and someone must be talking about him again.

Since there is no hope of escaping at the moment, I might as well think about whether I can make something new.

The business in the store needs to be expanded, and the current things alone should not be enough.

The men had frightened her and given her a little freedom and untied her hands, but with a rope tied to her waist.

Song Xinshu picked up a small wooden stick on the ground casually, wrote and painted, and no one could understand what she wrote.

After a wave of robberies, Lord Taishou put all the rich merchants back.

At the same time, the people sent to Zhuangfu and Lufu also returned.

"How? What did you find? Taishou-sama's tone was a little anxious.

"If you go back to your lordship, we have already turned over all the places in the house that can be turned over, and we have not found anything. It made the subordinates find some other interesting things! The person who spoke handed what he had turned out to Zhang Guodong.

He originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but who knew that the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, these people actually colluded to sell illicit salt, which was a felony to lose his head.

Lord Shangguan's face was not much better, he actually did such a thing under his nose, and he really didn't take him seriously.

It seems that some people in the capital should also be beaten, lest their tails be cocked to the sky.

"This king will deal with this matter, so Lord Taishou doesn't have to worry. The immediate delay is to find Xinshu! Lord Shangguan hurriedly left with those correspondence.

After Su Qing came back from outside the city, he immediately went to the Taishou Mansion, but was told that the Taishou Lord was discussing matters and did not see any guests!

He went home again and went to the restaurant to investigate the situation.

After asking everything he could ask clearly, Su Qing came to the Taishou Mansion again.

"Godfather, in the morning, Xin Shu sent out some news through breakfast, but it's a pity that the clues were broken in the process of tracking. This time, the people of the Zhuang Mansion did not imprison Xin Shu in the mansion, but took him to the mountains outside the city. ”

"But that mountain is so big that I can't find anyone by myself, so I hope my godfather can give me some people to look for together!"

Lord Taishou was a little surprised, but now they are not afraid of the people of the Zhuang Mansion, and they can arrest them and ask them when there is a letter from Lord Shangguan.

"Okay, I'll send someone to you, and you must bring Xin Shu back safely!"

Zhuang Bing returned to the mansion angrily, he had never been so angry, and he was actually forced to take the silver.

If you let him know who came up with this bad idea, he will definitely look good!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and before his anger could dissipate, his henchmen hurriedly came and whispered something in his ear.

Frightened, his face changed abruptly, and he went to the study in a panic, and after finding that the things he had hidden in the secret room were missing, he sat on the chair decadently,

That thing is about his own net worth and life, but he has always hidden it well, how can it be taken away?

He was puzzled in his mind, and suddenly thought of a move by Lord Taishou today, could it be that this was his plan to repair the plank road openly and Chen Cang secretly?

Let these people give money is fake, and secretly collect evidence of their own corruption and perversion of the law is true!

No one could answer him this question, he never thought that just because he captured Song Xinshu, he would encounter a flying disaster.

After a brief period of decadence, he got up in a panic, "No, I can't just sit still. Yes, I'm going to have to write to that adult and tell him to pay attention! ”

How could he have thought that the letter he wrote was not delivered to his backer, but to the hands of Lord Shangguan.

When Lord Shangguan got the evidence, he had already rushed back to the capital and entered the palace to meet the emperor.

Naturally, this matter quickly came to fruition, although it can't completely eliminate those corrupt officials, but it can always clean up one or two small minions and knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

As for Zhuangfu, it is completely a speck of dust.

Before Zhuang Bing even had time to destroy the evidence he had hidden in the treasury, he had already been arrested and put in prison by Lord Taishou with lightning speed, which caused an uproar in Jinling City.

Some people sighed and sighed, and some people applauded.

In recent years, the people of Zhuangfu have been rampant and domineering, and they have enslaved them as ordinary people, and he was arrested, so naturally everyone was overjoyed.

As for the other families, they are naturally busy carving up the territory of the Zhuang Mansion, but at the same time, they also have a jealousy of Lord Taishou.

A good family said that he would end it, and they also had to clamp their tails and behave, so as not to accidentally fall into his hands.

Lord Taishou came to the prison to ask Song Xinshu's whereabouts, at this time, Zhuang Bing was no longer the invincible of the past, and the whole person was unkempt, like a disaster victim who had fled.

Hearing the sound of someone talking, he glanced up, stood up suddenly, and then rushed to the door of the cell, "Zhang Guodong, I advise you to let me go." There are people above me, and you won't be able to eat and walk around when the time comes! ”

If Lord Taishou had been in the past, he might have really been afraid of his threat, but now that this matter is ordered by the emperor to be thoroughly investigated, what else is there to be afraid of.

"Zhuang Bing, you have been powerful in Jinling City for so many years, you never thought that you would end up like this! Are you still counting on that so-called person from above to save you? ”

"I told you to stop dreaming. Your backer is now in prison just like you. If you know each other, you will quickly explain everything you know, and maybe you can leave a dog's life! ”

Zhang Guodong is not such a soft-hearted person, he has been pressed on his head for many years, and when he turns over one day, he will naturally torture the enemy.

After a torture, Zhuang Bing had only the qi left to enter, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

Because he knew in his heart that if he really said it, he would die.

"Let me ask you, did you arrest the shopkeeper Song of the Northern Jiangsu Tea House the night before yesterday? You'd better honestly tell me where you hid her? Zhang Guodong grabbed Zhuang Bing's collar and asked.

Hearing this, Zhuang Bing sneered, it turned out that he ended up like this because of a woman.

"If you dream, even if I die, I will take that woman to hell with me!" Zhuang Bing gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Guodong was angry, although it was only a matter of time before he found Song Xinshu, but the sooner he found her, the safer he would be.

Who knows if a despicable villain like Zhuang Bing has left any backhand?

"Don't say yes, do you? Come on, give me a great punishment, as long as the person is not dead. When will she be honest and let him go! Zhang Guodong left after speaking, he had more important things to deal with.

Su Qing led people to search the mountains for a long time without any results, and his heart became more and more impatient.

Song Xinshu's health is not good, and I don't know if those people tortured her, "Lady, you must hold on until I come to save you!" ”
