Guide to the city of Defu.

"Master Hu, something happened!" Feng Shuangxin, the prefect of Guide who was dressed in regular clothes, hurriedly entered the Qincha Xingyuan, the most luxurious Deyun Inn in Guide Mansion.

"Master Feng, speak slowly, don't worry." Seeing Feng Shuangxin panting and pouting, Hu Yingjia, who came out, knew that the matter was not small as soon as he saw Feng Shuangxin's appearance, and hurriedly persuaded in his heart.

"My lord, something happened to Ningling!" After taking a few breaths, Feng Shuangxin calmed down a lot, but his brows were still furrowed when he spoke.

"Let's go, let's go in." Hu Yingjia's first thought in his heart was the disaster victims**, after all, people starved to death every day, and no one could stand it.

After listening to the specific course of the incident, Hu Yingjia's eyes narrowed, "Shen Chongming? Why did he suddenly take Huang Huaicai? ”

Feng Shuangxin sighed helplessly, "Alas, it is said that the victims of the disaster are making trouble, and it just so happened that Shen Chongming was about to leave the city, and he happened to encounter this incident." Huang Huaicai's stupid pig fooled people with rice soup every day, and only then was Shen Chongming noticed that something was wrong and took him. In order to save his life, this turtle recruited all of us in one go. Master Hu, you have to think of a way quickly, otherwise this time it will really be over. ”

Hu Yingjia walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Lord Feng, don't worry. Although Huang Huaicai confessed to us, he has no evidence, as long as Shen Chongming can't come up with exact evidence, what can he do with us? ”

"What about Master Hu, isn't this evidence easy to get? We have deducted so much silver, as long as Shen Chongming sends someone to check the expenditures in various places, won't this hole come out? Feng Shuangxin looked depressed, except for the 120,000 taels in Ningling County, the other three places totaled 200,000 taels, and the total amount of disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court to Guide Mansion was only 700,000 taels, which was almost half.

"Hehehe, Lord Feng is too worried, what do you say is the current grain price in Henan?" Hu Yingjia asked with a smug face.

What he is doing is this business, where can Governor Feng not know, "It's almost 900 Wen and one stone." "This is indeed a profitable business, grain merchants from all over the country poured into Henan, and the price of grain was all 600 Wen. Master Hu smashed 320,000 taels of silver into it in one go, and bought it all at a price of 550 wen and one stone. There is less and less grain on the market, and the price of grain is rising steadily, and in less than two months, it has risen to 890 wen and one stone, one in and one out, and more than 300,000 taels of silver have almost doubled!

"Yes, if all the grain prices are calculated according to this price, our books will be flattened, as long as you and I insist that when we bought grain, it was 800 wen and one stone, and no one can find out the flaws." Hu Yingjia said with a sneer.

Governor Feng only felt that his eyes lit up, and he high-fived and said, "Gao, Master Hu is really tall, hehehe." "I was proud, and I couldn't help but worry again, "But Huang Huaicai has already planted it, even if we make up a lie, it can't match his biting dog mouth." ”

"Hehe, Lord Feng can rest assured. We don't have any correspondence in this matter, all of them are verbal agreements, even if Huang Huai wants to leave us, it is empty words. And, as long as he dies, won't there be no problems? In this way, the whereabouts of the 120,000 taels of silver have nothing to do with us, and wouldn't it be more convenient to start accounts in this way. Hu Yingjia sneered.

Governor Feng was taken aback, "Kill, kill?" "Lord Feng, now is not the time to be soft-hearted, Huang Huaicai will not die, it is us who will die, you should weigh it yourself." Hu Yingjia glanced at him and said.

"Master Hu, even if you kill Huang Huaicai, it won't help. There is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as Shen Chongming is determined to take care of this matter, with the strength of Jinyiwei, he will definitely be able to find clues, don't forget, this Henan is not only our family sells grain, but most of the disaster relief grain purchased at that time was bought from them, can you make them all bow down and obey the orders of a unified voice? "The more Governor Feng said, the more worried he became, this was indeed a big loophole.

Hu Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Hehe, Lord Feng can rest assured." They can tell the difference, you must know that we are not the only ones who are hoarding food now, they are also involved in this. If something happens to us, the price of food will definitely plummet, and then they will wait for the loss of their money. ”

Governor Feng was stunned, and then understood the meaning, in the final analysis, it was still a good word. "Lord Feng, you have the grain purchase account book there, and tell them one by one according to the names of the owners of each grain village on it, and they don't need to point it out, they must know what it means." Hu Yingjia turned around and sat down, picked up the teacup and said.

"Yes, then the lower official will go back and arrange someone to do it, and say goodbye." Governor Feng got up and arched his hand.

Seeing Governor Feng walk out, Hu Yingjia put down the teacup again, and his brows furrowed again. The reason why Fang Cai didn't care was just to give Governor Feng a reassurance. For Shen Chongming, he Hu Yingjia knows a lot about it, and he also knows that Shen Chongming is a master of handling cases. Now that he knows this, he will definitely not stand idly by, if he really wants to find trouble for himself, it is very simple, no matter how big a sharp word is, it will look pale in the face of life and death.

"Someone!" Hu Yingjia got up and shouted, and an entourage hurriedly walked in, bowed and said, "My lord." After a whisper, the entourage hurried out.

"Alas, it depends on whether the old man can withstand it." Sighing, Hu Yingjia pondered with his hands behind his back that there were still those loopholes at the moment.

"Hmph, you must not let Shen Chongming find out this matter clearly." The disaster in Henan, the victims were everywhere, and Cai Wenyuan personally came out to establish his power. After going around the place, he felt the resentment of the people, and immediately drew up a big plan for such a situation.

The life of the victims is not easy, in the final analysis, it is still corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as long as they add fuel to the fire, sooner or later the accumulated grievances will erupt, once that, more than 100,000 people will participate in an instant, even if it is inevitable to fail in the end, the blow to the Ming court is still immeasurable. Under the elimination of the other, it is a good time for Wuwei to make a comeback and seek the world.

But in an instant, Ningling County, where the people had the greatest grievances, was leveled by Shen Chongming's thunderous methods, and seeing that a place that was about to raise the flag of righteousness for the first time was gone, Cai Wenyuan almost died of anger.

"Protector, according to his subordinates, it is the easiest to kill Shen Chongming directly, not only to avenge the death of several brothers in the hands of Jinyiwei, but also to get rid of this big scourge once and for all." Ma Wu, who was assisted by the entourage, said fiercely.

"No, Shen Chongming's identity is extraordinary, once something happens to him, the imperial court will definitely think that we have appeared in Henan, so our plan will not be implemented. Now not only can't we kill him, but we have to work hard to prevent Hu Yingjia and their dogs from being unfavorable to him. Cai Wenyuan touched the wrench on his hand and sneered.

"Protector, this ......" Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to fight again, "Okay, this matter is settled, and send someone to send a message to the holy woman to ask her to suspend her action." Cai Wenyuan stretched out his hand to stop Ma Wu's words.

Seeing that Cai Wenyuan had made up his mind, Ma Wuyuan could only nod his head, after all, he was the one in charge.

"Oh, it's a pity, the holy woman accompanies that Shen Chongming all day long, will something happen?" Selangjun, who was sitting at the end, unfolded a folding fan and said to himself, but his voice was a little loud, except for Cai Wenyuan, who ignored it, and Na Roy and Ma Wubald looked at him sideways.

"Hmph, I think about these things in my head all day long, why didn't you die in the first place, it's a pity that the seventh brother is such a good person." Ma Wu said with disdain on his face.

Se Langjun's eyes widened, and he obviously wanted to say a few words back, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth, he snorted angrily, and shook the folding fan angrily.

After working for a while, Cai Wenyuan's brain was not idle, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of something that Hu Yingjia and they should urgently want to do. "Brother Ma, go and do one more thing, find a way to kill the Huang Zhixian who was arrested by Shen Chongming, and cut off a clue to Shen Chongming, this matter must be done immediately."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Ma Wu got up and hugged his fists, and glared at Selangjun fiercely, the more he looked at this guy, the more unpleasant he became.

Huang Zhixian was locked up in prison, and Shen Chongming sent two Jinyi Wei subordinates to guard it personally, fearing that Hu Yingjia would jump over the wall and kill Huang Zhixian, a tainted witness.

It's a pity that even if Shen Chongming wanted to break his head, he didn't expect Wuweijiao to also get involved, and the two Jinyi guards, who could originally be regarded as masters, were in the Ningling County prison with lax defense, and it was not enough to face the horse vultures who personally went out to kill people.

"My lord, something is wrong!" In the morning, Shen Chongming had just returned from sending porridge outside the city, and a subordinate ran over in a panic.

Shen Chongming was taken aback, and said that it was Zhao Ziqian who had an accident, and glared: "Say it quickly." "My lord, Huang Huaicai was killed in prison, and our two brothers also lost their lives." The subordinates' faces are a little ugly, they are all good brothers who have been friends for many years, and if they don't say it, it's gone.

"Let's go." Shen Chongming turned his horse's head and hurried to the county jail with his people.

The situation was even more serious than what his subordinates said, not only Huang Huaicai and two Jinyi lieutenants were killed, but even more than a dozen jailers in prison were not spared.

The county government jail is no better than the government office, and some ordinary mortals are detained on weekdays, and once the criminals involved in major and important cases are involved, they are all transported to the government government prison for detention. Therefore, the guards of the prison are more than twenty jailers, and there is no garrison outside to defend them.

"My lord, I heard from the other prisoners that the case happened in the middle of the night last night, and the people who came were three masked masters. It wasn't until the jailer, who had changed shifts an hour ago, came in and went to the inn to inform our people. ”

"Three people, they broke in?" Shen Chongming asked after a pause. "Yes, I kidnapped a jailer who was going home and opened the door, and then rushed in."

"Hmph, that's a big guts." Shen Chongming snorted angrily with a dark face, this was provoking himself. After walking a few more steps, looking at the situation in the cell where Huang Huaicai was held, Shen Chongming's two fists were clenched together, not because of Huang Huaicai, but because the two subordinates who were killed were simply tortured and killed!

The death of the two brocade guards was tragic, with knife wounds all over their bodies, and a pair of eyes that were wide open, mixed with a hint of fear.

"My lord, what should I do now, is it that my subordinates will take people to Guide Mansion to take Hu Yingjia's old thief?" Ma Erdan said murderously.
