Peng Daniu entered the house, and he was no longer afraid of the cold outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the sleigh pulled the two of them and headed towards Pingzhou Mansion. Along the way, stop and go, and then come to Pingzhou Mansion.
The sleigh came to the back gate of the Nanyang Hall compound, there is a small road here, which is rarely walked, and the two of them were just about to call the door. From behind them, a group of officers and soldiers came and stopped their sleighs.
Before the two of them could speak, someone had already covered their mouths from behind, and immediately someone covered their eyes. The two of them sat on the sleigh and felt the sleigh turn around and come to a large courtyard.
The two were forcibly pulled off the sleigh, and someone ripped off the black cloth covering their eyes. After a long while, the two opened their eyes, only to find that there were officers and soldiers standing around, and the two of them said in their hearts: It's not good, the matter has finally been revealed.
There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, although the weather is sunny, the snow has not melted, and Pingzhou is still a world of ice and snow. After Jiang Hexing was busy for a while some time ago, and now he is starting to be leisurely again, Wu Han is still investigating, and he didn't find any clues for a while, maybe he is too careful, right?
Jiang Hexing saw that there was nothing wrong, and called two pro-soldiers, like himself, all of them changed into thick clothes, cowhide coats, and dogskin hats, just like ordinary people in Pingzhou.
After dressing up, Jiang Hexing took two people out of the office office, came to the street, and walked east to see how the streets of Pingzhou were doing.
The sun hung lazily in the southeast corner of the sky, and his face was pale. Pedestrians on the road did not feel a trace of warmth, shrunk their heads one by one, and wrapped their clothes tightly.
Jiang Hexing was walking forward, and suddenly, there was chaos ahead. Some people ran forward, despite the slippery road under their feet, and several people fell from the ice on the ground, but it did not make the determination to move forward any less. The person who fell immediately got up and continued to run forward.
Jiang Hexing didn't know what was going on in front of him, and followed the crowd to see what was going on.
Half a mile ahead, I saw a crowd gathered on the periphery of a courtyard. Inside the crowd were Pingzhou soldiers with sabers in their hands, a total of 50 people, standing in 5 squads.
These soldiers did not smile, let the circle of people point and point, but just looked at everyone with cold eyes.
The people in a circle, looking at the bright swordsman, the cold is pressing. Not daring to get too close, they formed a semicircle around the perimeter of these soldiers, just blocking the door.
Jiang Hexing stood at the back of the crowd and saw Wu Han standing at the front of the team, he was also wearing a strange outfit, wearing a cowhide coat and armor on the outside.
Jiang Hexing almost laughed, Wu Han may have been in a hurry, and his armor was oblique, revealing the cowhide inside.
Someone next to him kept looking at Wu Han, and he wanted to laugh, but he was shocked by the seriousness on his face. I saw his eyes looking into the door, motionless.
At this moment, Li Yi hurriedly ran from inside. When he came to the door, he saluted Wu Han and the soldiers, and said with a smile on his face: "General Wu, what are you doing here?" When we folks meet, why do we need such a big formation, doesn't it frighten passers-by? ”
Wu Han's face was like ice and snow on the ground, and the cold was like iron. looked at Li Yi lightly and said, "Mr. Li, the reason why I am making a big move, I guess you know why." Now not only here at the door, but also with troops at the back wall, and there are people at the back door as well. ”
Li Yi stomped his feet, looked at Wu Han and said, "General Wu, what's wrong, can you tell me?" I'm not the only one in business here, but many merchants are in this Nanyang Hall. Maybe someone has done something illegal, if you have evidence, you can do it directly, but if there is no evidence, I'm afraid, let's talk about it today. ”
Li Yi said, his eyes gradually revealing a fierce light.
Wu Han glanced at Li Yi and said, "Hmph, you wait and see." After speaking, Wu Han waved his hand.
Someone from behind shouted, "Press the two of them in." ”
The crowd was in a big mess and dodged a boulevard.
There were 10 more soldiers, escorting two big men, who walked up to Wu Han and said, "Commander Wu, these two have been brought, you can deal with them." ”
Wu Han looked at it, and the two people who were tied up with five flowers were kicked down by the soldiers and knelt on the ground. looked at Li Yi again and said, "Mr. Li, do you want me to continue?" ”
Li Yi's face turned pale, turned his head, and said to his servant: "Go and call Mr. Zhang over, these two were brought by him, what did he do?" ”
When Wu Han heard this, he was stunned for a moment, you are Li Yi, you are really powerful. Now the people and the salt are in my hands, and see how you perform.
After a while, a dark and strong middle-aged man ran out of it, came to Li Yi, stopped, and his mouth was bubbling with white gas.
Li Yi pointed to the ground, glared at him with his eyes and said, "Zhang Feng, these two are your people, right?" What did they do? ”
The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Zhang Feng looked at the group of officers and soldiers at the door again, the saber was clearly shaking, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, almost falling.
After a long while, Zhang Feng spoke: "I brought the people, I asked them to go down to collect salt......
With a crisp slap of "pop", I saw Li Yi suddenly step forward and slap Zhang Feng. Li Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at Zhang Feng and said: "I will bring you to Pingzhou to do business, give you a chance to make a fortune, you can do good, the idea of salt when you come, I have repeatedly told you, is the salt and iron of Pingzhou what you can do?" Will you be able to do the salt and iron of our new dynasty? Extremely daring! I want to go crazy if I want to make money. ”
Zhang Feng didn't say a word, lowered his head, and looked at his deerskin boots.
Wu Han stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, wait a minute. ”
Li Yi turned his face and said, "General Wu, I'm sorry, it's because our internal management is not strict. This Zhang Feng was brought by me from our hometown in Wanxian County, and he asked him to do the grain business together. Who knows, hey, I really don't have the face to face you. ”
Wu Han said: "But these two people confessed that they were both from the Nanyang Hall. ”
Li Yi smiled, "General Wu, Nanyang Guild Hall, I'm not alone, this Zhang Feng, and many other businessmen are all in Nanyang Guild Hall." Sometimes, for the convenience of business, there are naturally people who use my banner. But I really can't tolerate this. ”
Li Yi said, his face turned to Zhang Feng and said, "Zhang Feng, what do you say about this?" ”
Zhang Feng's face turned white, pounced, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Li Yi. The ground was as hard as iron, and Zhang Feng's forehead was bleeding.
Wu Han watched them act, turned his head, and said to the two people kneeling on the ground: "Which one is your host, tell me clearly!" ”
The two of them pointed at Zhang Feng and said: "This is our host, his name is Zhang Feng, he asked us to collect salt from all over Pingzhou, and then transport it to Nanyang Hall, and then pull it from Nanyang Hall to Xianwu City by carriage." ”
Wu Han thought to himself, this was arranged by them earlier, and this Li Yi had a way to get out early. Now the plan can only catch this Zhang Feng first.
Wu Han looked at Li Yi again and said, "Mr. Li, although it is none of your business, your Nanyang Guild Hall is inseparable. ”
Li Yi said: "In this way, General Wu, I will take out all the salt hidden in the Nanyang Hall, and in addition, thoroughly investigate Zhang Feng and give an explanation to Pingzhou." ”
Wu Han said: "Since Mr. Li said so, then there is labor." As he spoke, he said to the officers and soldiers: "The four teams followed Mr. Li to thoroughly investigate the Nanyang Hall and take away the stolen goods together." The rest of the men and horses, escorting the three salt dealers, returned to the barracks first. ”
After Wu Han finished speaking, he escorted Zhang Feng and the three of them, took a team of people, and went back first.
Li Yi took 4 teams of people into the compound of Nanyang Hall.
After a while, 8 carriages were driven out of the Nanyang Hall and escorted by soldiers to the barracks.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Jiang Hexing no longer wanted to go shopping, so he went directly back to the office and waited for Wu Han's report. (To be continued.) )
