Qianhu said: "Although there are several wives and concubines there, but his parents are not there, and he claims to be deceased, but in his hometown in Guanzhong, there is no record of his parents being buried, not only that, he has no children in Suzhou and Hangzhou." ”

Isn't that obvious enough?

Chen Kaizhi nodded and said, "In this way, nine times out of ten, it is him!" Without further ado, get your hands on it...... Take people! ”

The thousand households gave a military salute and hurried away.

All this is not sudden.

Because before the thousands of households came to report, there were a large number of brocade guards on standby, which was also for confidentiality considerations, with Chen Kaizhi's order, in the bustling Sihaifang, a place called Wansheng Commercial Bank, suddenly, a piercing bamboo whistle sounded, only in an instant, the front door and backyard of the Wansheng Commercial Bank, suddenly, a group of people had rushed in with knives.

The guy in front of the door was about to shout, but there were already several bright steel knives on his neck, and then, the hula people swarmed upstairs, and it didn't take long for the entire Wansheng Commercial Bank to be controlled.

After a commotion, everything here was quiet again.

As if it had never happened.

There was only a hint of chaos that happened in an instant, and it seemed that it was difficult for anyone to pay attention to it in this noisy Sihaifang.

Taking such a rapid breakthrough is also the result of Jinyiwei's early planning.

Sihaifang is not better than other places, instead of attacking at night, but the movement is loud, and it is easy to disturb the nearby neighbors and businesses, but in broad daylight, ordinary people are not aware at all, and the surrounding people are noisy, but it has become the best cover.

Two hours later, Chen Kaizhi arrived here by car.

Here as Chen Kaizhi expected, there is nothing unusual, and when he walked into Wansheng business, he saw that everything was the same here, and there were guys and shopkeepers, but Chen Kaizhi knew that these so-called guys and shopkeepers had long been replaced by Jinyiwei.

After Chen Kaizhi came here, he walked directly to the third floor, where he saw an obese man being gagged with a bloodstained white cloth, making a whining sound, and his whole body was already ragged and very embarrassed.

Obviously, in these two hours, the brocade guard had tortured him, so that his gray flesh itself was revealed from the torn clothes, revealing shocking scars.

His pupils continued to dilate, and then contracted, as soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately made a whining sound in his mouth, and several wrestlers controlled him tightly, rolling up their sleeves one by one, and seeing Chen Kaizhi coming in, he retracted a little.

The thousand households stepped forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Jiang Hai." ”

Someone brought a chair to Chen Kaizhi, and Chen Kaizhi sat down.

At this time, Chen Kaizhi was a little surprised in his heart, in fact, looking at this person named Jiang Hai, he really couldn't imagine that such a seemingly mediocre fat man was also a thief.

He stared deeply at the embarrassed fat man in front of him, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Take out the cloth ball from his mouth." ”

Someone did as ordered, and as soon as the blood-stained cloth in his mouth was taken out, the fat man suddenly puffed and panted, but fortunately he was obviously a smart person and did not shout loudly.

After he was relieved, he said, "Your Majesty, the grass people are businessmen who are responsible businessmen, villains...... I have never done anything to be a traitor, here in Jibei, I have always treated businessmen well, and there is no crime with the people, Your Majesty, please be your Majesty. ”

Just listen to his words, and you know that this man is a very shrewd man.

Although he was tortured before, and now he has suffered a catastrophe, but obviously, he still maintains his sanity and calmness, he saw Qianhu call Chen Kaizhi His Majesty, there was not much surprise in his eyes, but he quickly realized Chen Kaizhi's identity, when he called Qu, the words he said were also orderly, not annoying, but also affirmed his grievances.

Chen Kaizhi pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Your name is Jiang Hai, a native of Wannian County, Guanzhong, and then he did business in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and placed a large industry, just two years ago, he transferred his business to Jibei, and built more than a dozen large warehouses here, and at the same time, he also laid down this façade, you have ninety-two people here, this month, the goods ordered alone are enough to have seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and seventy or eighty thousand taels are just a drop in the bucket for the goods you order in a year, and these are not wrong." ”

Jiang Hai suddenly showed a look of grievance and said, "Could it be that the grass people are honest and honest, is it also wrong?" The grass people have always been cautious in their words and deeds, here in Jibei, thanks to His Majesty's Hongfu, many people have made a fortune, and the grass people are one of them, the grass people have always been grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and they can't wait to be cattle and horses, but the grass people don't understand, why ......"

Chen Kaizhi pressed his hand, sighed, and said: "You are saying this now, in fact, it is useless, you yourself know that the case personally supervised by Jinyiwei must involve a lot of money, not to mention that I came to see you in person, and it is by no means to avenge you, I like smart people, because dealing with smart people, you don't have to spend too much tongue, Jiang Hai, you are also a smart person, since you are a smart person, you naturally know why Jinyiwei came to take you, and it is even clearer, why I am here, right?" ”

Suddenly, Jiang Hai's face turned blue and became silent.

Obviously, his mind has been recognized, Chen Kaizhi said this, even if he denies it, what's the use?

He hung his head and said nothing.

Chen Kaizhi sighed again and said, "I also know that you must be trying your best now, and you must have made up your mind in your heart, and you won't say anything." Why? Those people overseas, since they are relieved to let you come to Jibei to be responsible for secretly ordering a large number of goods, every year in Jibei, millions of taels of silver are involved, so at stake, even if you Jianghai is trusted by them again, they are only afraid that they are not at ease, just in case, Jianghai, I came to ask you, your real family, as well as your wife and children, are they all overseas, and they have long been controlled? ”

"One of the reasons why they do this is that they are afraid that you will run away with the money. On the other hand, I am afraid that it is also because you can be alone in Jibei and can master the channels of goods for overseas people, so you must be an extremely key person, and you must know a lot of secrets. They naturally have to take precautions against this, and once you fall here in Jibei, if you dare to confess something, then your family is afraid that they will suffer. ”

"So at this time, you have already made up your mind and will not say anything, because only by hiding your secret can you ensure the safety of your family."

Jiang Hai's face had turned pale again, and Chen Kaizhi's words really hit the nail on his head.

At this time, he didn't seem to bother to deny it, because since Chen Kaizhi had said so much, no matter how much he denied it, it didn't make any sense.

Jiang Hai seemed to have made up his mind, and said decisively: "You kill me." ”

"It's not easy to die, but it's even harder to live well." Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "I have already said that you are a smart person, since you are a smart person, why would I kill you at this time?" ”

Jiang Hai hung his head and was silent again.

Chen Kaizhi sighed again: "I also know in my heart, if I think about it, you will definitely refuse to confess, but Jinyiwei's methods, I won't talk about it, you have been in Jibei for a long time, you should have a number, but I don't plan to let them be tortured." ”

Jiang Hai's face still did not have a trace of expression.

At this time, Chen Kaizhi stood up suddenly, walked steadily to the windowsill, from the third floor, overlooking the street outside, his eyes flickered, as if he had something on his mind, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly looked back and said: "But if I tell you, if you don't say it, your wife and children will still die, you ...... Believe it? ”

Jiang Hai's face, which had not been too expressive, finally had a trace of fluctuation, and a streamer flashed in his eyes, but immediately, he shook his head and said: "The grass people have said it, and the grass people will not say it." Actually......" He frowned slightly, and said with difficulty: "The grass people were indeed merchants in the past, but ...... If you want to do business, it is not easy. ”

At this time, there was a little bit of hideousness on his face, and he said with resentment: "Whether it is in Guanzhong, in Guandong, in Jiangning, in Suzhou and Hangzhou, in Dachen, or in Yueguo, businessmen are cheap. No matter where you go, you will either be exploited by the officials, or you will be bullied by the martial arts at the checkpoints along the way. ”

Speaking of this, he looked depressed: "It is precisely because of this that in the end, the grass people found this backer, who is this backer, presumably Your Majesty also has eyebrows in his heart, since following him, the grass people's business has become bigger and bigger, and the grass people are no longer afraid of the government and officers and soldiers." Since the grass people were born, they don't want to be thieves, but if they don't be thieves, the grass people can't even want to be people. ”

Chen Kaizhi stared at him, but did not interrupt him.

I saw Jiang Hai smile bitterly, and then said: "The grass people don't want to be enemies with Your Majesty, because the grass people know that this Jibei is because of Your Majesty, and in this Jibei, the grass people can really live a few years of peaceful life. So...... In the hearts of the grass people, there is no hatred for Your Majesty, without Your Majesty, there would be no Jibei, and there would be no Sihaifang. And the grass people are thieves for one day and thieves for life, and they have long known that if they are thieves, they will be beaten one day, and the grass people only want to die quickly, and nothing else. ”
