Seeing Ye Tianzu, who was guarded by several sergeants, Lu Dayuan hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down on his knees and bowed: "The grass people have seen the governor!" I don't know that the governor is coming, and the small people are far away, please forgive me! Although he has a lot of fame in Hangzhou, and his family wealth is far more than 10,000 yuan, he is still just a small citizen in the eyes of officials. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Governor Ye waved his hand lightly and said, "Lu Yuanwai doesn't need to be polite, please get up." I heard that your home was attacked by rioters, and my official was relieved, so I came to see what was going on. ”

Lu Dayuan responded and said worriedly: "It is true that some people have been bewitched by others and have come to our house. However, the government reacted quickly and brought the scene under control, so there was no damage to the small people's homes. "The implication is that you don't have to worry about Lord Ye to check it.

But Ye Tianzu didn't seem to understand what he said at all, so he raised his feet and walked towards the door of the Lu family, and said at the same time: "Your Lu family is responsible for the government's salt sales, and you should always be cautious when you are troubled this time." This official is the governor of Zhejiang, so I still have to see it to rest assured. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, he had already ordered: "Come on, take the official to the Lu family's salt storage warehouse to have a look." ”

"Yes!" Several soldiers agreed, and respectfully led him inward, only to make Lu Dayuan's face pale in shock, and cold sweat continued to flow out.

"My lord, this is the warehouse where salt is stored. After I had driven away the people, I stayed here and did not let anyone come near. "In front of a warehouse with a square circle of ten feet, the one who led the troops just now reported to Ye Tianzu that he knew what had happened.

"Okay." Governor Ye smiled with satisfaction, and then turned to look at Lu Dayuan, who was following behind him, but his face was full of panic: "Outside Lu Yuan, please open the warehouse." Seeing that the salt in it is fine, the official is relieved. ”

"Big ...... ......After a while, Lu Dayuan finally made up his mind, and knelt down in front of Ye Tianzu after taking a step forward: "There isn't much salt in this warehouse!" Please forgive me! He kowtowed a few times as he spoke.

Ye Tianzu immediately showed an unbelievable look, and his face quickly turned from sunny to cloudy: "Lu Yuanwai, aren't you joking?" Such a big event, there is no room for the slightest joke! What do you say, there isn't much salt in this warehouse? So where did the salt go? Don't tell the official, the salt here has been robbed by the troublemakers! ”

Even if Lu Dayuan had the courage to explain it like this, I am afraid that no one would believe this reason. Because so many people were watching, those people were controlled and driven away by the officers and soldiers as soon as they entered the Lu Mansion, how could they be preemptive? And even now, the door of the storehouse is still shut, and there is not a trace of anyone breaking in.

"This ...... This ......" Lu Dayuan wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, it was always difficult to speak, so he had to continue to kowtow: "Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Tianzu's whole face was already dark, and suddenly his voice was raised: "What this official wants is an explanation, not your plea!" Say, is it as it is rumored that you sold all the salt at a high price? You Lu Dayuan are really greedy, don't you know that doing this is selling illicit salt? Okay, you businessmen are really getting bolder and bigger, and you even dare to buy and sell salt privately, don't you really dare to kill you? ”

Ye Tianzu's words are indeed true, the so-called official salt and private salt are only recognized by the salt introduction and the government. Even if you have salt to sell, once you sell the salt to a place where the government does not recognize you from selling, the official salt will become private salt. This is the reason why the price of salt sometimes varies so much from country to country, because it simply does not circulate freely like some goods.

And after hearing Ye Tianzu's scolding, Lu Dayuan trembled like chaff, even in today's Wanli years, the status of businessmen in society is still very low, maybe you have the money to make friends with the government, but once the officials really want to deal with you, they still have no ability to resist.

Seeing that Lu Dayuan was blindly kowtowing but not arguing, Ye Tianzu's face became even more ugly: "Come on, escort him to me." If you knock this warehouse open again, the official will see if it's really empty. ”

"Yes." Someone immediately stepped forward and pulled Lu Dayuan up from the ground, and there was a rope to tie him up. Immediately, other soldiers also moved one after another, tying up more than 30 members of the Lu family. At the same time, several sergeants had already picked open the big lock on the door of the warehouse with their weapons, and after pushing hard, a large warehouse with less than five or six bags of salt was presented in front of everyone.

"Well, that's good! Unexpectedly, it was only two months of work, and the official saw a vacated warehouse again! Ye Tianzu laughed angrily, and suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Dayuan fiercely: "Are you really an official to be a bully?" Naturally, he was referring to the theft of the vault.

Lu Dayuan felt the murderous aura that the governor constantly exuded, and saw the soldiers around him constantly tie up the old and young in the family one by one, and knew that if he couldn't give the governor a reasonable explanation, not only would his life be difficult to protect, but his family would also suffer misfortune.

At this time, Ye Tianzu also said in a threatening tone: "This is not something that you dare to do as a small businessman and can bear it, there must be a master among them." If you can't give an explanation to this official, there will only be one end for your Lu family. The men of your Lu family will be convicted of selling illicit salt and killed, and the women will be put into slavery and prostitution! The official will give you this opportunity, do you want to recruit or not? ”

"I'm ......" Lu Dayuan opened his mouth, his gaze swept over those relatives, and he saw fear and confusion in their eyes...... At this point, he knew that he could not save these family members if he did not confess truthfully, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "My lord...... The grass people are willing to confess, all of this is forced by people. In fact, the grass people did not sell the salt, but used the 10,000 catties of salt for his own use......"

In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.

During this period of time, Cao Hua's mood was quite good. Because he finally succeeded in knocking down Luo Chengzhang, the deputy gang leader who had been suppressing him and making him ambitious. And this time, the subtle thing is that he didn't need to take action personally, as long as he did what he planned, the seemingly invulnerable Luo gang leader had been thrown into prison.

And now, he has even rectified some of Luo Chengzhang's cronies who have never given him face, and even always disagreed with him. Today's Hangzhou Cao Gang is completely controlled by him and He Wei. This feeling of being in power really makes him very useful.

Today, Cao Hua came to the mansion belonging to the deputy gang leader with a little drunkenness as before, sat on the seat of the study master used to give orders, picked up a letter from the gang and glanced at it casually, and a smug smile flashed from the corner of his mouth again.

"Hehe, it won't take a few days, when the government has completely convicted Luo Chengzhang of the crime, the Yan Gang Master will definitely hand over Luo Chengzhang's position to me to sit on. At that time, I will only worry about too much money and too much to do! Thinking of the pride, Cao Hua ordered loudly: "Come on, give me a cup of ginseng soup to sober up." ”

But this word spread far and wide, and no one came out to respond. It was only at this time that Cao Hua realized that today's house was very different from the past, and it was obviously less popular. Just now, he was only looking at pride, plus he brought some wine, but he didn't notice this!

"What about people? Where the hell are you dead? Don't let me out yet! Cao Hua couldn't help but shout loudly again.

There was still silence, not to mention people, and even the wind seemed to have stopped.

A strong uneasiness instantly hit Cao Hua's heart, he bounced up from his seat suddenly, and his hand touched his waist, and he had already stabbed the short sword he was carrying in his hand. A pair of eyes stared at the front, and then he moved his steps slowly, still calling tentatively: "Xiang San'er, Ding Hao, where are you all dead?" "These people are all his close subordinates, and they should have been waiting for him here. But no matter how he greeted him, the house was quiet, as if no one had ever been here.

It wasn't until he walked to the patio where Yang Zhen had been waiting that day that Cao Hua suddenly heard a muffled snort. He turned around and saw a gagged man walking out of the hall in front of him, carried by a familiar figure.

When Cao Hua saw that figure, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, thinking that he was drunk and dazzled and misunderstood. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his hand, but when he looked again, he found that he had not been mistaken. The middle-aged man in front of him who mentioned his accomplice He Wei was Luo Chengzhang, who he thought was still in prison and was almost a dead man!

"Luo Chengzhang? How did he end up here? How did he come out? ......" Many questions instantly popped up in Cao Hua's heart, but at this moment, he didn't have the courage to ask the man in front of him directly.

In Cao Hua's stunned gaze, Luo Chengzhang said coldly: "You must be very curious why I am here, right?" In fact, it can be explained in one sentence, that your plot is bankrupt. So I advise you to tie your hands for now, or else...... I really don't want these hands to be stained with the blood of my brothers! ”

"You ......" Cao Hua felt the fear in his heart, which made him very angry. In the past, he didn't dare to confront Luo Chengzhang head-on because of this fear, but now, he still has this kind of fear, which is not something he can bear.

"I will overcome this fear, and I will overcome him!" While cheering for himself in his heart, Cao Hua had already raised the short sword in his hand, bowed his body, stepped his legs, and his body flew straight towards Luo Chengzhang like an arrow off the string!
