Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't accept it, Ma Guangyi asked suspiciously: "Why can't you accept it?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't want to make his words clear directly, but said: "There is not much silver on the small cabinet, and Mr.'s silk goods are too expensive, and the small one really can't afford to put it away." ”

"Don't say you can't afford it, how much silver can you pay?" Ma Guangyi also wanted to find a price first. After all, this thing was robbed, and I am afraid that the other party has already seen it, so I don't want to use this excuse. Inquire about the base, and then go to other houses to ask, and find the one with the highest bid to sell.

Although this is a thief, but people have the psychology of greed for money, if these silks are collected at a low price and woven into satin, they will definitely make a lot of money. The shopkeeper also understands that this group of people will definitely go to other houses to find a price and sell it with the highest bid. Rather than watching others get rich, it is better to raise the price to a suitable position, which can get the best, and if you can't get it, it won't be cheap for others.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I only have five thousand taels here, and I can give you this number at most, no matter how much I have." ”

"What? Five thousand taels, why don't you grab it! When Ma Guangyi heard this price, he was angry, and said angrily: "Just to collect these silk goods, it took 12,000 taels of silver, not counting the people who came all the way to eat and feed the horses, this is sent to you to the door, you are out of this point!" ”

"This lord, didn't I say this, there is only so much silver on the small counter, and someone has been sent to the south to receive the goods, to catch up with this year's business, but it is okay, once the business is not good, so many goods are purchased, and they must all be smashed in their hands. If you think the price is low, you can go to another place. The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"I'm also having something going on at home, and I'm in a hurry to get home. Otherwise, five thousand taels of silver will sell you a cart, what do you think? Ma Guangyi said.

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper was even more sure that it was robbed. Let him collect five thousand taels for a cart, how can he agree, shook his head with a smile, and said: "The silver on the cabinet still has to be kept for circulation, I think it's better to forget it, you can go to another house and ask." ”

The thieves still want to sell the stolen goods at the market price, and these businessmen are fools. Being able to collect it at half price is already an excellent high price.

Seeing that the shopkeeper just refused, Ma Guangyi was also right, he himself did it behind his superiors' back, what if he showed his identity, forced to buy and sell, and caused trouble. At that moment, I had to swallow my anger, ask someone to carry the silk goods into the car, and then go to another house to inquire.

Those who do this line of work are not sharp-eyed, with a belly and eyes, and they are annihilating and slippery. Next, Ma Guangyi asked a few more, and the results were basically the same, either he didn't dare to accept it at all, or he pushed the price very low, but the auspicious satin village that asked first gave the highest price.

When I entered the city early in the morning, I saw that it was almost noon, and if I didn't make a move, I would delay the hour, and it would be difficult to go back and talk about it on my own. Ma Guangyi and the others studied it, and finally decided to sell it to Jixiang Satin Village at a price of 5,000 taels.

Returning to Jixiang Satin Village again, Ma Guangyi asked the guy to call the boss and sell all the silk goods at a price of 5,000 taels, but according to the original thought, all the baggage skins with Zhang characters in the sack were pulled out. In the name of beauty, it is easy to use it at home, and it will have to be used in the future. The shopkeeper also understood, and knew that he would disappear on his own, so he pretended not to know.

Ma Guangyi got the silver, divided 400 taels among each of the ten men, and kept 1,000 taels for himself. He also knew that if he gave little to the brothers, it would be difficult to ensure that someone would be unbalanced and betray him. But they didn't dare to carry the money with them, so they found a place to hide it properly, and only went back to gather it with the money from the sale of mules and horses. At that time, he only said that after destroying the silk goods, he found a market town and sold the mules and horses, and the money from the sale was drunk by the big guys.

In the next few days, Yue Su began to familiarize himself with the official affairs of the Criminal Department, which manages the world's cases and dominates the power of life and death. Some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases can be remanded for retrial once the criminal department finds a problem with the examination, and some major or important cases must be reported to the criminal department for adjudication. There are so many prefectures and counties under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, where there are not a few cases a year, and here in the Criminal Department, it can be said that there are mountains of piles.

When the case file is submitted, it must first be handed over to the person below for trial, and after the trial, write down the opinions, and then hand it over to Lord Shangshu for approval. If this is changed to an ordinary book, looking at too many cases, it may be to write an agreement under the case file and sign your own name, and if you meet someone as responsible as Yue Su, you must read it again, make sure that there is no problem, and then sign on it.

Just because of Lord Yue's seriousness, the Lang Zhong and the outsiders who worked below did not dare to be careless.

After a few days, nothing else happened to Yue Su's side, except for every time he went to the court and accompanied the emperor to work, he was to deal with official business.

However, in the British government, the British public Zhang Weixian was furious.

"What silk goods are all robbed, and everyone has been killed, who is so bold that even my Zhang family's goods dare to rob? I just want to rebel! ”

Zhang Weixian was reading in the study, and he was in a good mood recently, he was the first one to go into silk in all the satin villages in Yanjing City, and he was about to come back, and then he would make silk and sell it in the market first, and he would definitely make a lot of money and take back the business casually.

Who would have thought that after the second manager of the satin village came back, he would bring an extremely angry news, and all the silk goods were robbed. He is the first-class noble of the imperial court, and if he doesn't bully others, others will laugh secretly, but he didn't expect anyone to dare to bully him.

"Sir, it must have been done by the people of Li Ji Satin Village, the little one heard it with his own ears, they claimed to be from the Li family, and said that you had robbed them one step earlier, which was really bold. Even those people from the Li family, their mouths were not clean, and they said......"

"Say what?" Zhang Weixian asked angrily.

"Say, speak...... said that if the lord was also there at the time, even the lord would have split the ...... together" The second steward is not lying, the man in black did say so.

"Bastard! Good he is a Li Ji satin village, it is simply lawless, the business let you rob it, Lao Tzu thinks that the goods are not as good as you, and he doesn't care about you, but you also eat the bear's heart and leopard guts, dare to come and play this trick with me, is it really easy to provoke this jue! ”

"Smack!" Zhang Weixian slapped the bookcase heavily and shouted: "Call someone to smash all the Li Ji Satin Village in the city for me, and rob me of all the things inside!" ”

"Yes, sir. But......," said the second steward cautiously.

"But what?" Zhang Weixian asked.

"But we have died so many people, we can't smash the store, just grab the goods." The second steward said.

"Not bad." Zhang Weixian nodded, and after thinking about it, it was inconvenient for him to go out and directly wash all the Li Ji satin villages in the city in blood. After all, this is the capital, and if such a big thing happens, even if you are justified and spread it, it will not sound good. They all kill in private, so what do you need the law for?

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Benjue's name post goes to Shuntian Mansion, what to do, you know." I not only want all the property of his Li family, but also kill all his family! ”

"The little one understands."

The second steward agreed, took Zhang Weixian's name card, took the four family members, and went to Shuntian Mansion in person.

Since Yue Su became the secretary of the Criminal Department, he rarely sat in the court of Shuntian Mansion, but came back to ask what happened, who would complain, and what the case was.

In addition to Fu Yin, there are many people in Shuntian Mansion who can try cases, and both officials and government officials have this right. Normally, in ordinary cases, there is a magistrate to try and decide, and if you are not satisfied with the punishment, you can appeal to Fu Yin. There is more than one public hall in Shuntian Mansion, the main hall is Yuesu's, and the other side halls are for the officials and the government, which is like a modern court, and there must be at least four or five trial halls inside.

The second steward arrived at Shuntian Mansion, and after asking, he knew that Lord Yin was in the Criminal Department, so he found the famous Tuiguan. As soon as Shi Youming saw the name of the British public, he was in awe, and he did what the second steward of the Zhang Mansion said.

There are also errand officers under the officials, and Shi Youming immediately sent people to seal up all the Li Ji Satin Village in the city, and arrested all the people in the Satin Village into Shuntian Mansion for interrogation. Li Yuanchen has never made his relationship with Yue Su public, and sometimes he doesn't know the details, thinking that it is a case of staying in the British bus, and Lord Fu Yin has to give some face, not to mention that there is still evidence.

After arresting the person back, it is a beating indiscriminately, and if you have to force it to find out that it was the people of the Li family who robbed the silk goods of the British public, you can't admit it. After some torture, the shopkeeper of Yousatin Village summoned the Li family's two mansions in Beijing, and Shi Youming immediately sent people to the Li family's house to arrest people.

At present, Li Wenzhang's father and son are both in Beijing, while Fang Congzhe is returning to his hometown in Zhejiang as soon as possible, waiting for the holy decree. When Li Wenzhang heard the news that Li Ji Satin Village was sealed, some guys had sneaked out secretly and came to report it, Li Wenzhang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called someone to inquire what was going on. As a result, after his subordinates went out, they quickly brought back a bad news, and the people from Shuntianfu rushed to get people.

The Li family has several mansions in Yanjing City, and on the surface, these two are known, and the henchmen in the shops in the city know about them, but no one knows about the other mansions in the secret. Li Wenzhang immediately transferred, and asked his son to go to Shuntianfu to ask Yue Su, what the hell is going on, our family didn't recruit you to provoke you, and we helped you three times and twice, why do you want to beat you up?

Li Yuanchen was also inexplicable, and he expected that Yue Su would not be like this, if he really wanted to embarrass the Li family, he would have arrested himself a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until today. With curiosity, he rushed to the gate of the main hall of Shuntian Mansion and went directly to find Yue Su.

There are several gates in the Yamen of Shuntianfu, the Tui Guan has the door of the Tui Guan Yamen, the Tong Ju has the door of the Tong Ju, and the Qing Army Hall has the door of the Qing Jun Hall.

Li Yuanchen went to the head of the gate and directly asked to see Yue Su, but the messenger guarding the door told him that the adult was not there and went to the criminal department. This time, Li Yuanchen was even more confused, it was not Yue Su, who ordered the arrest. Fortunately, he knew all the catchers inside, named them, and asked who they were there, so he could inquire.

Several head hunters, except for Tie Qiu, who followed Yue Su to the criminal department every day, the others were all there. The messenger invited Li Haoquan out, and after the two met, Li Haoquan immediately invited Li Gongzi to the inside and went to the room to talk.

Li Yuanchen has the demeanor of a general, and he didn't say much on the road, and when he came to Li Haoquan's duty room, he told the matter aside, and asked what was this for?

Li Haoquan also wondered, there is no arrest task in the house today, except for the fast arrest of patrolling the streets, everything else is here. So, he immediately sent someone to find the chief catcher Yin Zhu.
