Chapter 232: Separate Plans
Sun Yueling didn't look back, and said lightly: "What? ”
"I hope that the adults will be the masters of the small people!" Zhou Wenxi suddenly rushed forward, knelt down on Sun Yueling's back with a puff, and screamed sadly, "That Xu Xinsu is a big bully who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and ten thousand deaths are not enough to pay for his crimes!" ”
Sun Yueling turned around suddenly, supported Zhou Wenxi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said warmly: "President, please get up, as long as there is this official, I will definitely uphold justice for you." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Next, Zhou Wenxi told Sun Yueling the truth about everything.
It turned out that after the twelve chambers of commerce in Fuzhou reached a trade agreement with Yan Siqi, they angered Xu Xinsu, who had always controlled sea trade. Xu Xinsu relied on the support of Yu Zhigao, on the one hand, he sent a sea ship to rob the goods entrusted to Yan Siqi by the Chamber of Commerce and attacked Yan Siqi's sea ship; On the other hand, he sent his brothers Cai San, Zhong Liu and others to threaten the principals of the twelve chambers of commerce, looting and burning a lot of their hoarded goods.
Originally, they also planned to jointly report Xu Xinsu to the official yamen, but at this time, Sun Yueling actually escorted the pirates in the twenty-eight Kou back to the city, and also walked with Xu Xinsu, which made them feel very shocked. In the following days, under their observation, they found that Sun Yueling and Xu Xinsu, Yu Zhigao and others were very close, and it was likely that they were in a group, so they gave up the idea of denouncing Xu Xinsu, and could only endure this breath.
After Zhou Wenxi finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on the ground again, choked up, and said: "My lord, that Xu Xinsu not only robbed and burned our goods, but also killed Zijing, the chairman of the Zhejiang branch, moreover, he ...... He also raped Xiaomin's concubine...... "After that, the old tears are all over the place, and I can't help myself."
When Sun Yueling heard this, he was already angry, slammed his fist on the table, and said, "I didn't expect this guy to commit so many crimes." Since he came to Fuzhou, Xu Xinsu has been serving him in front of the saddle and behind the horse, either giving gifts or inviting him to eat, and behaved very well-behaved in front of him, it turned out that there were many evil deeds hidden behind him. In doing so, he is clearly trying to co-opt and corrupt himself and make himself his accomplice.
Thinking of this, Sun Yueling secretly called luck. He was almost one step away from being successfully won over by Xu Xinsu, but fortunately, he kept a mind and did not express his position easily, otherwise, if he accepted Xu Xinsu's bribe and became an ally with Yu Zhigao, I am afraid that he would fall into the trap they designed for himself, and he would not be able to extricate himself from it.
"My lord, that Xu Xinsu also threatened Xiaomin, saying that if Xiaomin dared to denounce it, he would definitely kill Xiaomin's entire family, and no one would be left ......" Zhou Wenxi seemed to open his heart and cried to Sun Yueling.
Sun Yueling calmed down instead, held him up, and said, "The other heads of the Chamber of Commerce, can they stand up and identify Xu Xinsu?" ”
Zhou Wenxi nodded and said: "Yes, as long as Xiaomin dares to take the lead in standing up, presumably other people will definitely stand up and identify him." After a pause, he seemed to be worried about something, and said to Sun Yueling, "According to Xiaomin, this Xu Xinsu not only attached himself to the chief soldier Yu Zhigao, but also colluded with Taiwan's Hongmaofan, and his power is not small, can the adults bring them all to justice?" ”
Sun Yueling saw that he was worried, and Zhengrong comforted: "You can rest assured that this is the next day, if it is not the world of Yu Zhigao and Xu Xinsu, this official will definitely judge him with the king's law, and return the people of Fujian to a bright future." After a pause, he said, "From this moment on, you have to secretly contact the people of other chambers of commerce, collect and fix the evidence of Xu Xinsu's illegal activities, and wait for my summons." ”
Zhou Wenxi nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, if you don't explain this matter, we will do it." Xu Xinsu snatched our goods, and the handle had already fallen into our hands, but it was only under his coercion that we didn't dare to take it out. Also, Xu Xinsu raped my concubine, and there is also evidence in my hands. ”
Sun Yueling couldn't help but be curious for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "He raped your concubine, how could he leave a handle?" Could it be that you ...... that there is nothing to test in this era, and it is impossible to conclude that Xu Xinsu is guilty based on the traces of sperm spots left by him, right?
Zhou Wenxi's face was full of anger, and he clenched his fists and roared: "Xu Xinsu kidnapped my concubine to do that filthy thing, not only can my family testify, but also, he ...... He also left behind a pair of dirty trousers and a jade bead on his belt......"
Sun Yueling was speechless when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a play. However, in this era when the law is not perfect, with the accusations of these many people and the underwear and jade beads left by Xu Xinsu, I am afraid that it is enough to sentence him, so he said: "Okay, you did a good job, keep all the evidence, and wait for my instructions." ”
After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Dongfang Shengping, Li He and others, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them and asked how they were. Sun Yueling's expression did not change, and said: "Zhou Wenxi has promised to stand up and testify against Xu Xinsu, and will also mobilize the heads of other chambers of commerce to testify together." ”
"Great." Li He clapped his hands and shouted. He has always been squeezed out by Fu Dapeng and others in the Yamen of the Judicial Division, and it is difficult to develop his ambitions, and he has long been dissatisfied with the collusion between Dapeng and Xu Xinsu and others. Now, he has been entrusted with the important task of Sun Yueling, who is acting as the judge of the Yamen, and he suddenly feels high-spirited and full of energy.
"At this time, you must not be careful, and do not give away the slightest clue." Sun Yueling instructed them that if Fu Dapeng and Xu Xinsu knew that he was investigating them secretly, I was afraid that they would be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, or kill people and destroy evidence, and then things would be even more difficult to handle.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll take care of it." Several people hurriedly said.
Walking to the mouth of Furong Alley, Sun Yueling was about to get into the small sedan chair parked on the side, when suddenly a person turned out from behind the alley, stood in the shadow in front of him, and said lightly: "Lord Sun, is this going to deal with Xu Xinsu?" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, who was lurking here, and found their traces, could it be Xu Xinsu's people?
Dongfang Shengping pulled out his sword with a "bang", and was ready to take down that person.
"Don't do it!" Sun Yueling hurriedly shouted, stopped his subordinates who were about to step forward, stepped forward, and said to the man, "What, is Mr. Ao planning to shield him?" "This person is actually the protector of Aotianmen, Aotianxing, I didn't expect that they would meet Zhou Wenxi of the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce at night, and they were discovered by him, and Sun Yueling knew that it was him as soon as he heard his unique voice. It's just that he doesn't know what Ao Tianxing's idea is at the moment, so he is also secretly on guard and condenses his strength in his chest in case there is a change.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ao Tianxing's mouth, and said: "Just relying on the words of Zhou Wenxi and others, I'm afraid that adults can't defeat Xu Xinsu and Yu Zhigao." ”
Sun Yueling let out an "oh" and asked rhetorically, "How can you see it?" Hearing him speak like this, it didn't seem that he intended to hide it for Xu Xinsu, but it was a bit like he was here to help himself.
Ao Tianxing smiled and said: "Those pirates who are locked in prison have long been tortured by Xu Xinsu to the point of dying, and they don't dare to go out to confront Xu Xinsu at all. ”
Sun Yueling was even more sure that the Ao Tianxing in front of him was not facing Xu Xinsu and his group, and said lightly: "What about your opinion?" ”
Ao Tianxing was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If Yan Siqi is willing to come out and confront Xu Xinsu face to face, even if he Xu Xinsu is exquisite, I am afraid he will not be able to escape the punishment of the law." ”
……
Three days later, at night, after Fahai Lane.
Fu Dapeng shouted at Xu Xinsu: "How have you been doing recently?" Have you ever found traces of Yan Siqi? ”
Xu Xinsu gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't noticed any movement for the time being." ”
Fu Dapeng said angrily: "You don't have long eyes, you can't even do this little thing." Then he said, "My subordinates want me to tell you today, saying that they found a group of suspicious people in the caravan at the dock of Min'an Town, and it is likely that it is Yan Siqi's group." ”
Xu Xinsu was shocked: "Is there such a thing? ”
Fu Dapeng said: "Now that this group of caravans has entered the city, hurry up and mobilize your men to search the whole city for me to see if there are any of them Yan Siqi's gang of thieves, and find out their whereabouts for me." ”
Xu Xinsu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let my subordinates do it immediately." After a pause, he said, "If Yan Siqi really comes to Fuzhou, what does he want to do?" Didn't you come to save his daughter? ”
Fu Dapeng pondered for a while and said, "There is this possibility, if this is the case, it will naturally be better, and it will confirm his reputation as a pirate who robbed the caravan." But it is not excluded that this guy is trying to contact the heads of those chambers of commerce, and intends to fight back and sue you to the yamen. ”
Xu Xinsu's heart sank, and he said, "He still dares to do this?" Aren't you afraid of death, Fuzhou is our land. ”
Fu Dapeng snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Looking at Xu Xinsu, who was timid, he said, "With me and the handsome man supporting you, what are you afraid of, look at your bitter face." ”
Xu Xinsu smiled and said, "Yes, what the adults said is, what I have to be afraid of." ”
Fu Dapeng said: "Recently, I see that Sun Yueling has nothing on the surface, I am afraid that I no longer trust you and me secretly, and it is very likely that we will be thoroughly investigated in secret, we must not take it lightly." ”
Xu Xinsu was unconvinced and said: "What can he find out about us, those pirates who are locked in prison will be executed sooner or later, and the minds of the Chamber of Commerce have long been subdued by me, and they will definitely not dare to say half a word." Even if he, Sun Yueling, suspects us, what can he do without any evidence? ”
Fu Dapeng smiled coldly, stared at him and said, "You are so confident? ”
Xu Xinsu snorted: "Without this ability, will the marshal still trust me and let me run the sea trade for him?" ”
Fu Dapeng no longer argued with him, but said: "You say, will this Yan Siqi have something to do with Sun Yueling, so as to expose us?" ”
Xu Xinsu was extremely surprised and said, "This ...... I'm afraid it's impossible, right? ”
Fu Dapeng squinted at him and said, "What if, if Yan Siqi is summoned by Sun Yueling and confronts you in court?" ”
Xu Xinsu had a look of fear on his face and shouted, "I will never let this happen." ”
Fu Dapeng sneered: "Okay, that's fine." You hurry up and mobilize people all over the city to look for it, if you find Yan Siqi's traces, you must notify me as soon as possible, without delay. ”
Xu Xinsu replied and said, "Don't worry, as long as Yan Siqi appears in Fuzhou City, I will be the first to prevent him from leaving alive." ”
……
"The ancient Buddhas are all iron men, and ordinary people say that they are golden bodies."
In front of the Iron Buddha Hall of Kaiyuan Temple in Fuzhou, a tall man with a bearded face looked at the couplets hanging on both sides of the hall door, and muttered with his hands.
"Brother Yan is so Yaxing!" A man strode in through the front door and said to the man's back.
Hearing this, the man suddenly turned around, his eyes shot a sharp gaze, and he stared at the tall and thin middle-aged man in front of him for a moment, and said, "Brother Ao, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so thin." ”
Ao Tianxing smiled faintly and said: "This shows that I have been living a very hard life all along, and I can't compare to Brother Yan, you have big fish and meat, and you have no worries." ”
The man laughed and said, "Brother Ao said that he laughed, Yan is now a lost dog, and he was forced out of breath by your Aotianmen, so how can he talk about worrying about it!" ”
Ao Tianxing was noncommittal, but said: "Brother Yan is really a believer, he dares to come to see me alone, aren't you afraid that I will unite with the government and arrest you?" ”
The man's eyes exploded, and he said calmly: "Even if I Yan Siqi can't trust others, can't I still believe you Aotianxing?" If you really plan to harm me, I'm blind and believe the wrong person. ”
Ao Tianxing looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "It's refreshing enough, Brother Yan is really a hero in the world." ”
The man didn't care about his words of praise, but said: "Brother Ao summoned me here, saying that he wanted to overturn the case for someone Yan, Yan was very curious, and wanted to know why Brother Ao did this, because you are also a person from Aotianmen, and there is no reason to help me as an outsider." ”
Ao Tianxing's eyes revealed an incomprehensible look, and he sighed: "I really don't hide it from Brother Yan, I, Ao Tianxing, have never wanted to go against Brother Yan, everything is done by Xu Xinsu, the helmsman of my sect." The reason why I want to help you is just that I don't want to watch this guy do whatever he wants and harm the people of Fujian. ”
Yan Siqi said lightly: "Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you Aotianmen to completely eradicate me and take charge of coastal trade alone, aren't you afraid of provoking public anger in the gate by doing this?" ”
Ao Tianxing snorted lightly in his nostrils and said, "This is a bad word. Although I am not talented, I will not rely on suppressing others and fishing people to make a living. Xu Xinsu's forcible occupation in recent years has not only aroused the public anger of the major chambers of commerce in Fuzhou, but also tarnished the reputation of our Aotianmen. ”
Yan Siqi said coldly: "It is precisely because Xu Xinsu's power is too large that you found me and wanted to unite with me and completely eradicate it?" ”
Ao Tianxing said: "If you understand it this way, I have nothing to say. However, don't you want to hit Xu Xinsu and save your reputation as "Twenty-Eight Righteousness"? Or is Yan Siqi willing to continue to bear the reputation of a thief and die in the Minhai Sea from now on? (To be continued.) )
