124, found a clue to the merchant ship

"It's getting late, so boss, you can rest first, and the next official will deal with the investigation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Taishou said respectfully at Shen Congyi.

Shen Cong also got up and thanked him: "Then Master Lao will bother." ”

"Yes, yes, it's an honor for the lower officials to be able to do things for the boss." Taishou is also very polite, it seems that this is an extremely honorable thing.

After Taishou left, the sharp blade looked at Shen Cong and said, "Boss, is this person reliable?" Look at his virtue just now. ”

Shen Cong shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, it's best to find this kind of person, he must have a few brushes to be such a big official, if the investigation can't be investigated, I'm afraid he will be removed from his post a long time ago, and this kind of person will give you a lot of money to do things, but there are too many." ”

Shen Cong's half-joking words made everyone laugh.

In fact, just as Shen Cong expected, this Taishou did have a few brushes.

After a few days of hard work, he grabbed a few people and brought them to Shen Cong.

Looking at the old man, women and children kneeling in front of him, Shen Cong was stunned: "My lord, what's going on?" How did you get them? Could it be that the wrong person was arrested? ”

Taishou hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Boss, don't you know, these people are the families of the thieves who participated in the hijacking of merchant ships, and their words and deeds were accidentally found out by us, so we arrested them, and we should be able to find out a little clue from their mouths." ”

"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense, my father is not a thief, my father is a good person." When the child heard Taishou say this, his father jumped out at once.

"Xiaobao, don't talk nonsense." The woman dragged the child back and hit him the head.

The child cried: "Mother, they are bad people." They insulted Daddy. ”

"You still say." The woman slapped the child again.

"I just said, Dad is a big hero, he brought back a lot of money a few days ago, don't you also say that Dad is a big hero?"

"I'll kill you." The woman was so anxious that she slapped her again.

"Tut-tut, you don't hit people in the face, madam, you really have a set of mothers." Shen Cong ended the farce with a voice, and turned back to stop the soldiers who were about to come forward.

"Master, we are civilians, we really don't dare to do anything hurtful, just a child is talking nonsense, you must not take it seriously, we are really civilians." Talking and kowtowing.

"Bold, you still dare to quibble? When we first went to your village, didn't you show off your jewellery to the women in the village? And how your lord hijacked merchant ships, what are you still quibbling about now? The officers and soldiers next to her shouted and stepped forward to beat her.

Shen Cong hugged the child with a smile and said softly: "Your mother is really ruthless, her face is red, don't cry or cry, come to uncle here for a snack." ”

"Uncle, my dad really isn't a bad guy." The child cries while eating a snack.

"Your dad is a big hero, isn't he? It's a great honor for you to have such a father, and your friends must be very envious of you. Shen Cong smiled slightly and slowly put words out of the child's mouth, the child is innocent, although he says that the child's words are unscrupulous, but what he says is true.

"That is, my father said that he made a big deal a few days ago, and got a lot of precious stones, tea, and porcelain and some silk, and look, the jade pendant around my neck was given by my father." As he spoke, he took it out and showed it to Shen Cong.

Shen Cong, as the head of the Shen family, naturally recognized this jade pendant as his own.

"Xiaobao......" The woman was about to speak, but as soon as Taishou signaled, the soldier immediately blocked her mouth.

Shen Cong picked up the child and said, "Little brother, do you want to go inside and eat a little more heart, uncle has something to say to your mother, uncle wants to help you persuade your mother, tell her that your father is a big hero." ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle." The child's eyes were already filled with snacks, and he was naturally very grateful, not noticing that his mother was being caught by the officers and soldiers at the moment.

Shen Cong handed the child over to the maid and whispered a few words, and the maid nodded and hugged the child and left immediately.

"Let them go." Shen Cong waved his hand, and the soldier immediately retreated.

"Sir, sir, where have you taken my child? My child is innocent, really, what do you have to come at the concubine, please don't hurt my child. The woman cried and crawled to Shen Cong's feet.

The two old men also kept kowtowing, with teary eyes: "Master, this child, but our family has been passed down for three generations, and there is only this one child, you can let him go." ”

"Old man, ma'am, what are you doing here? It's just a matter of letting the child go inside for a snack, and it won't really do anything to him, what are you afraid of? Shen Congfang softened his tone and said in a low tone: "Old man, madam, I won't hurt you below, and there is no need to be unhappy with you, presumably you should also know my identity, I am the master of the merchant ship, now I ask you a few questions, you must answer truthfully, the answer is good, then I can be the master to forgive your family, otherwise I will ask for more blessings." ”

Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

Shen Congke didn't care about this, and said directly: "The male master of your family is just a small casual person, there is no point in catching him and killing him, I mainly want to find out who is behind him this time, his sins can be blamed in the past, and then you can reunite as a family and live your life again." ”

As soon as he heard this, the old man immediately jumped out and replied: "Master, you ask, the little old man will report truthfully, but the old man must promise not to hurt my son." ”

"Your son is just a little loach, he can't make much waves, and I don't have any interest in him." Shen Cong sneered, this kind of little loach, it was hard to clean him up.

The old man said with confidence: "The dog once served as a soldier under General Liao Yongzhong, and then because of family reasons, Lao Er let him come back, a few days ago Liao Yongzhong sent someone to find the dog, and the dog went out for a few months, and when he came back again, he brought a lot of money, saying that it was rewarded by the general, and the little old man knew so much." ”

"Where is your son now?" Shen Cong hurriedly asked.

The old man replied, "It should be at General Liao Yongzhong's." ”

"Oh! Thank you old man, your information is very useful. Shen Cong smiled and said, "Okay, take them down and entertain them well, they will be useful in the future." ”

"Yes." The soldiers immediately took them down.

Shen Cong looked back at Taishou and smiled slightly: "My lord, are you guilty?" ”

"Huh? The lower officials don't know, so please make it clear to the big boss. Taishou was startled and said in a panic.

"Humph!" Shen Cong snorted coldly and said: "Look at their dress and accent, they should be ordinary civilians in your local area, since their male owner participated in the hijacking, then in this case, there is a chance that the people who participated in the hijacking of merchant ships this time are your locals here, and there is more than one, do you say that I am right?" ”

"Well, what the boss said is true, it seems that they are all involved." Taishou was very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"My lord, there is really a problem with the security of your place, if you continue to make it so loose, once His Majesty the Emperor notices it, I'm afraid your head will have to move." Shen Cong looked at Taishou and said coldly.

After hearing this, Taishou also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and fell to the ground with a plop: "This is the dereliction of duty of the lower official, not protecting your merchant ship well, and letting the thieves run rampant, the lower official must pay attention in the future, and the lower official will make amends to you." ”

"Hurry up, sir." Shen Cong saw that it was almost over, so he helped Taishou up: "There is no other meaning in saying this, it is to give adults a wake-up call, let adults pay attention, if this matter is known to others, it will be a capital crime." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you boss for reminding me." Taishou hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him.
