Next.

Under the leadership of Wang Shichong, Su You took his three hundred guards, as well as Zhao Xin's hundreds of cavalry, and rushed to the northwest of Yangzhou City.

After walking for a few miles, they soon saw Daming Temple.

But it was not Daming Temple that Su You was coming, they bypassed the temple, continued to move north, and ran for about another mile or two, and a manor appeared in front of them; The manor covers an area of nearly 100 acres, and in the distance is a small village of more than 20 families, inhabited by tenants who rent the grange.

In the manor, there is a black two-story house, about the size of an acre, standing alone in the field, which looks a little eerie.

"What are we going to do here?" Zhao Xin asked a little puzzled.

"This is Zhang Xin's manor, which is not known to outsiders, but in Zhang Xin's letter to his son Zhang Mo, this villa is mentioned many times; The letter said that he should take care of anything in the village and destroy it immediately if anything happens. ”

Su You immediately handed a forged letter to Zhao Xin, and said with a smile, "Zhao Duwei read it for himself!" This is the letter intercepted by this official on the same day, and this is also the reason why I asked Brother Mai not to give up the secret investigation of the remnants of Zhang's fleet on that day. ”

Zhao Xin looked at the letter, he didn't know Zhang Xin's font, just looking at the tone in his heart, it was a little similar.

Zhao Xin's brows furrowed, "What did Zhang Xinhui hide in the manor?" ”

"Just search and you'll find out." Su You replied with a smile.

Wang Shichong waved his big hand and shouted to the three hundred guards under him, "Give me a thorough search!" ”

The guards were about to rush into the manor with their weapons, but they saw the door of the small building in the manor open, and the first to come out was a wheelchair, and on the chair sat a young man with a cold face, and behind him there were three or four retinues in addition to an old man.

The person in the wheelchair is obviously Zhang Xin's son Zhang Mo, and the old man behind him is Zhang Xin's henchman Zhang Guoli.

Zhang Mo looked at Su You dozens of feet away, and laughed coldly, "Su Yushi, you have gone too far, right?" ”

"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, I'm sorry, as an envoy to the southeast, this official has the responsibility of maintaining local security." Su You nodded at Zhang Mo and said expressionlessly.

Although Su You had never seen Zhang Mo, he had finally seen Zhang Xin, and their father and son had seven or eight points of imagination.

"You are just trying to find me to put pressure on Yangzhou Qianzhuang, you and I are both people in the officialdom, who can you deceive with this method?" Zhang Mo smiled and mocked Su You.

"Someone reported that there were some things hidden in your manor that shouldn't be hidden, and the official had to offend them for the sake of safety!" Su You was noncommittal to Zhang Mo's words, and said-for-tat.

In fact, Zhang Mo is not wrong at all, the so-called "embankment of a thousand miles, destroyed in the anthill", if you want some big people in Shuanggui, they often start from the investigation of style problems, and the source of these style problems is often reported by those unwarranted passers-by.

Zhang Mo saw that Su You was resolute, so he had to speak strongly, "Su You, you are abusing power for personal gain, I, Zhang Mo, will definitely write to the Eastern Capital, and you will wait to be impeached!" ”

Su You smiled and said jokingly, "That official is waiting for your impeachment, and someone has stopped my search in the past, but his fate is very bad." ”

"The third prince of Yuan was really killed by you!" Zhang Mo was in the Yuan Villa at the time, and he immediately remembered what happened to Yuan Shangliu that day.

"You're thinking too much. As the saying goes, under the whole world, it is not the king's land. This official uses the sword of the Son of Heaven as an order, search for me! Su You smiled, and immediately raised the sword in his hand with a stumbling face.

For the first time in his life, he found that the saying "under the whole world, it is not the king's land" is so useful, as long as there is power in his hands, this is the truth.

Wang Shichong and the others crossed Zhang Mo and them, and entered together, and Zhao Xin immediately said to the hundreds of cavalry he brought, "What are you doing in a daze?" Half of the people went in to assist the envoys, and the rest stayed in place to protect the safety of the envoys! ”

Zhao Xin is well versed in the world, although he doesn't know what Su You can find out from Zhang Xin's manor, at least he still knows that the Zhang family has offended Su You, especially the rumors that the Zhang family took the lead in avoiding Su You yesterday.

Zhang Mo didn't believe that Su You could find anything from this Zhuangzi, and the reason why he didn't give an inch to Su You just now was just to fight for a breath; When Su You said cruel words, he could only grit his teeth silently.

Of course, there are also some hatreds, hating that he couldn't slash Su You that day, and hating his father Zhang Xin's indecisiveness; If you cut through the mess with a knife that day, where is there any Su You, and where will you still be affected by the current virtuous spirit?

With less than half a cup of tea, Wang Shichong had already trotted all the way to Su You, and reported in surprise, "Qi Su Yushi, we have found something!" ”

"What's that?" Su You was also surprised and asked eagerly.

"Weapons." Wang Shichong replied to Su You briefly, and then pointed to the village with his hand, only to see that the guards carried out many wooden boxes, and they were still being carried up in the back.

Zhao Xin finally came to his senses at this time, looked at Wang Shichong, and then looked at Su You; Zhang Mo's face turned pale for a moment, of course he knew what was going on.

Su You nodded and instructed Wang Shichong, "Pry the box open!" ”

Wang Shichong gave an order, and the guards stepped forward one after another to pry the box, 'Boom! There was a metallic sound, and hundreds of weapons, including swords, spears, and crossbows, slipped out of a large chest.

"This is a weapon too!"

"It's the same over here!"

The guards shouted one after another, and the twenty large boxes were all filled with all kinds of prohibited weapons, and the soldiers counted them one by one, compiling records, and there were as many as 500 crossbows alone, adding up to 3,000 weapons.

"Su You, you are shameless!" Zhang Mo shouted, he didn't know what words to use to describe Su You now, originally he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou to disgust Su You, and by the way, he drove him out of Yangzhou, but before he could make a move, he was framed by Su You.

"If you don't speak, the official almost forgot about you! Someone came, and all the people in the Zhuangzi were taken back to the Jiangdu County prison. Su You glanced at Zhang Mo with pity, then gave an order to the guards, and then turned to Zhao Xindao, "I can't imagine that Zhang Xin is secretly hiding weapons in Yangzhou City, it's really ill-intentioned!" ”

Zhao Xin obviously knew the trick in it, and responded half-truthfully, "Although there are weapons hidden, we haven't found out that the Zhang family has a private army, who are you using so many weapons?" ”

Su You glanced at him and said coldly, "It seems that Duwei Zhao is a little forgetful, the two ships have raised nearly a thousand thugs, what is this not a private army?" ”

Zhao Xin nodded, only then did he know that Su You wanted to put the Zhang family to death, and the charge of rebellion, no matter how many lives he had, was a dead word.

"Zhao Duwei, you discovered this matter first, and you will write the folds, of course, I will put my seal." Su You looked at Zhao Xin and said softly.

"The lower officials will not disgrace their mission!" Zhao Xin immediately saluted Su You on one knee, of course he knew what Su You meant by asking him to write a recital, of course, this was because Su You wanted to push this credit to himself.

Whether to accuse Su You of abusing power for personal gain, or to be promoted to become rich without conscience, Zhao Xin obviously chose the latter without any doubt.

After Zhao Xin stood up straight, he sighed again and said, "It's just that the cell in Jiangdu County can't accommodate so many people." ”

Of course Su You knew what he meant, in fact, he had also thought about this question yesterday, how strange it was that Mai Tiezhu arrested so many people indiscriminately a few days ago

Su You shook his head and said indifferently, "It should be released, it should be detained, you can watch it yourself, but I don't want Zhang Mo and these people to have an accident." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, of course he knew that what Su You said was a rhetoric, and the choice of release and custody was the key point; As for hoping that Zhang Mo and them will not have an accident, they probably have to listen to it in reverse.

Of course, Zhao Xin knew what he had to do.

In the evening, when Su You was packing his luggage and preparing to move to the dock, Zhao Xin came with the news, "Zhang Mo and his criminal gang tried to abscond in fear of crime, and were finally killed one by one in a fight with the guards of the cell. ”

"I can't see that Zhao Xin is quite good." When Su You got the news, he couldn't help but nodded, and then heard Wang Shichong say, "I heard from Zhao Duwei's subordinates, they also arrested a few shopkeepers of the bank. ”

"Really? It's going to meet them. Su You nodded, and immediately took Wang Shichong, Wang Bodang, and seven or eight guards to the prison in Jiangdu County.

Those shopkeepers obviously knew Su You, so when they saw Su You, they all knelt down and shouted together, "Envoy Jingluo, we are wronged!" ”

"The official knows that even the murderers who enter this cell will shout 'wronged'." Su You nodded, and after approaching them, he glanced at them in turn, and then said jokingly, "The day before yesterday, I was a guest of this official, but today I became a prisoner, what is the feeling in your hearts now?" ”

The three of them called Qu Lian Tiandao, "The whole city has the same six cents of profit, and we only put 300,000 yuan of seal money together, and the big families of the Pan family and the Wang family, which one of them are millions of yuan!" ”

"Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." Su You snorted coldly, patted the law on the table and said, "The management regulations of the money village were just promulgated last year, and the imperial court has issued three orders and five declarations, the monthly interest on loans shall not exceed three points, but you want six points of interest, this is not a crime!" Those Pan family Wang family killed ten people is murder, and if you kill two people, it is not called murder? ”

After some questioning, the three people who wanted to use the big family as a shield withered for a while.

Su You picked up a few sheets from the table that read, 'Someone borrowed a certain amount of silver from a certain number due to a lack of use of a certain year, month and day, plus six profits, returned it in January, and borrowed the contract certificate. "These IOUs have the seal of your shop and your signature; This is conclusive evidence, what else do you say? ”

This was not enough, Su You continued to say loudly, "According to the law, those who privately release usurers will be given eighty rods, exiled for 1,200 li, and their property will be confiscated. ”

"Spare your life!" The three of them were so frightened that they knelt down again, kowtowed, and said, "You give me a way to live, we will listen to you for everything." ”

They also knew in their hearts, knowing that Su You was "Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, intended for Pei Gong", just usury, when did he have such a big sin? But who can they reason with?
