Chapter 455: Misfortune Begging for mercy

Deng Min's invention was strictly protected by the guards of the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce, and it was completely enclosed and shipped to Suzhou, where the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce were located.

Then add the framework in the middle, connect several machines together, but people who know a little can understand, although it is only a simple improvement, but one person can operate, which is equivalent to one person can do the work of eight people now, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

And this idea of improvement can be extended to looms, and even many textile-related machines, and even without manpower, but completely using animal power, so that more things will be produced.

However, when the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce saw this device, they did not expect that it would bring them more wealth, but worried that if this device became widespread and popular, many of the now thriving handicraft workshops and shops would collapse.

The strength of the Thirteen Chambers of Commerce is entirely dependent on the composition of many subordinate workshops and shops, and it is related to the prosperity of these industries and commerce. They think that this device may be able to make more and more money for a few people, but most of them are bankrupt and poor because of this.

These bigwigs don't want to use the equipment invented by Deng Min, but they also feel fear from the bankruptcy of those weaving factories in Songjiang, they have seen too many ups and downs in the past five years, and there is no law at all about commercial success and decline, at least they have not grasped this law, these people think that their wealth may be providential, and they dare not say that after such equipment is applied, the next bankrupt person will not be themselves.

After a few days of intense deliberation, the leaders of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce made a decision to burn this instrument, and all those who had seen this thing swore a blood oath not to leak a little, otherwise, the people of the Chamber of Commerce would be punished, and an order was issued to reward Deng Min's head with a reward of 100,000 taels.

Obviously, these instruments could not have been made by Deng Min alone, and the traces of those carpenters and craftsmen were soon found, and they were all arranged by Deng Min in Huguang with money, and they spent money to buy fields, and they were also regarded as landlords, and Deng Min was also considered to have done enough.

To send people to the land of fish and rice, firstly, to give these people sufficient remuneration, and secondly, to send them far away, so as not to leak secrets.

However, after the people of the Cao Gang found it, they didn't care about it, they didn't have the idea of leaving a living mouth, and they directly brought the heads back to Jiangnan, and what made this even more desperate was that under the arrangement of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, they buried these corpses under Deng Min's workshop.

Then he led Songjiang's officials to excavate, and this digging confirmed the rumors that Deng Min used demon methods and used corpses as materials. At this moment, the public opinion that the people were already resentful of Deng Min for taking people's jobs aroused even greater anger, and everyone said that they had to be killed.

The government also went to the sea to catch documents, and drew pictures to arrest Deng Min.

Deng Min was also lucky, when the mob invaded their workshop, he and his long-term entourage were indulging in a nest of a green building outside Songjiang City, and they were also dressed up where to go, watching the fire in the city, and when they returned to the city, they made a casual inquiry, and immediately ran out of the city in a hurry.

With some silver tickets on his body, he ran to Suzhou, found the money village and exchanged some cash, and then ran to his ancestral house in Jinfengzhuang, which was also the last move of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce to grasp Deng Min's whereabouts. Because the money banks in various places have been notified by the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, all the silver money exchange about Deng Min must be reported to the general number of Suzhou.

It's just that when the news was sent to the place where Deng Min withdrew the silver, it was a day late, and it was such a coincidence that Deng Min escaped.

When Jiang Feng led his subordinates into Jinfeng Village, Deng Min was still waiting in his house for his long-term entourage to come back to report the news, how could there be any loyalty to such a companion of eating, drinking and having fun, but Deng Min was like a child in dealing with people, and he didn't know what was sinister and difficult in the world.

Casually found someone there and asked, and pointed out the location of Deng Min's ancestral house, Jiang Feng didn't know, many people in Jinfeng Village also knew about Deng Min's reward, but they all thought that Deng Min had not returned, and during this period of time, there were countless people trying their luck here, and no one could find anyone.

Jiang Feng's subordinates were a little hesitant, but Jiang Feng's confidence was still very strong, because the information that a person took out to save his life when he was dying could not be fake news.

The courtyard wall of Deng Min's ancestral house could not stop Jiang Feng's men, and after it got dark, Feng Yong stuck his knife in the crack of the wall and stepped on the knife and turned over.

Inside, the door was opened, and thirty characters who specialized in searching and robbing poured in, and the rest were guarding outside, the size of the house was not small, there were more than a dozen houses and a few yards, but no one guarded it, and those who got the news had already run away.

Looking at the various auspiciousness of the yard, it is obvious that not only a wave of people have searched here, of course no one will find anything, and after searching the past room by room, there is nothing to see at all, except for the footprints and handprints of those people, the rest is those thick dust.

Jiang Feng was standing outside the courtyard, his mood was not so angry now, looking at the lights and laughter of Jinfeng Village, as well as the aroma of food wafting in the air, he suddenly felt that he was very homesick, missing his family and subordinates in Huazhou.

However, the courtyard has been rummaged back and forth several times, and there is still no result, Feng Yong is now trying his best to behave in front of Jiang Feng, he knows what he is saying in front of Jiang Feng now, but after returning to Huazhou, his identity and status may not be what it looks like.

Huazhou has had a system for a long time in the past few years, Feng Yong has been away for some time, and after going back, he really doesn't know how to deal with himself.

If he couldn't find it, Feng Yong simply ordered his subordinates to stop, and then arranged for a person to follow with a fire candle, he wanted to search from beginning to end, from the time he entered the door, he searched very carefully, and when he encountered a wooden plank, he took a sharp blade to spy on it.

All the undecorated walls are to knock on the temptation, but still nothing, he is already slowly dying, thinking, it is also some time for the people who helped the Yangzhou rudder to get the news, and he tortured it from this person's mouth, and it was also a little delayed.

Maybe this Deng Min has long been gone, where will he hide in the ancestral house, the last search is the kitchen, this has been searched several times, after Feng Yong entered, he naturally would not see anything new, and he also felt that he had to give up.

After entering, I browsed it again, and when I looked up at the beams, I suddenly found some signs, here in the south of the Yangtze River, I also like to eat the fish after pickling it, not to mention the taste, in order to avoid rats and insects, it is often put in the basket and hung on the beams.

The beams of this room are also covered with dust, but there are some traces of mismovement between the hooks and the beams, and the kitchen has been closed when it comes in, where there will be any wind and grass. Feng Yong took the fire candle under his hand behind him, raised it and observed it carefully.

Calling in the people who had been searching in this room just now, Feng Yong took the candle to reflect the traces on it, and asked his subordinates succinctly:

"Have you touched this place just now?"

The answer of his subordinates was not moved, Feng Yong waved his hand and sent his subordinates out, and carefully searched the house, but found that in the corner of the stove, there were a pile of bamboo poles, which were naturally also full of dust, and one of them had a wooden fork on it, which was a tool to remove the bamboo basket on the beam.

When I took it over, I found that although the other bamboo poles were covered with dust, the tool was much smoother, and it was obvious that someone had used it.

In addition, there is no trace anymore, but this is enough, if no one wants to hide the traces, they will not hide the traces of the bamboo poles and bamboo baskets so carefully, but in this mansion, it is indeed like digging three feet into the ground.

There will be nothing new, this is not difficult Feng Yong, shouted a few words outside, and a guard brought a hunting dog over, for the salt shovel, the pursuit and pursuit is the main task, there must be some assistance, this hunting dog is one of them, this time Feng Yong specially put the hunting dog on the horse, with a lot of cushions.

This is really useful, leading the hound to the kitchen, he has his own method of use, not long after, the hound shook his head and ran towards the south of the house, Jiang Feng's subordinates are all following behind, the south of Deng Min's ancestral house is the lake, what will be there?

When the hound arrived at the lake, he barked loudly at a small boat, which was a relatively common canopy boat, and the cable was casually tied to the wooden stakes on the shore, such a small boat was very common on the lake, and no one would pay attention to anything, and the target was here.

Four or five people went into the water with their hands and feet, that is, they dragged the cable to drag the boat over, the boat moved, and the boat suddenly woke up, a big fat man walked out of the cabin, and saw the crowd on the shore was immediately frightened, and wanted to dive, but he didn't dare to look, and finally knelt on the bow of the boat with a plop, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy:

"Spare the little cheap life, go around me!"

Very wretched.
