The work of the Wen family is still being carried out in an orderly manner.

Compared to the hustle and bustle at the beginning, the inner and outer compounds have been quiet at this moment.

The servants of the Wen family were driven by the officers and soldiers to the front yard.

They were all embarrassed, the younger ones were shivering in the crowd, and the older ones were either sad or secretly wiping their tears.

Especially the daughters of the Wen family, they cried like tears one by one.

The Wen family is a big clan in Wenzhou, and the number of people arrested for only confiscating the ancestral house today has been more than 300, which is a very terrible number if the nine clans are connected.

The grandfathers of the ancestral house have already run away, after all, more than ten days have passed since the Wen family's accident, wouldn't it be a fool if they didn't run?

Wen Desheng's parents, brothers, uncles and uncles had already run clean, leaving only a bunch of aunts and maids.

However, even if you run away from the monks, you can't run away from the temple, and it's only a matter of time before you catch them, and the key is the relevant personnel involved in the smuggling of sea goods.

That is, those domestic slaves of the Wen family, the grandfathers of the Wen family may not all do seafood trading, nor may they all do it themselves, but these things must be handed over to their domestic slaves.

It's like Zhang Mu once saw that secret wharf in Nanxi River, and it was all the Wen family's henchmen who were working on it.

And most of the masters of the Wen family eat and wait for death every day, carrying cages and birds, even if they are caught, it is useless.

Besides, the Wen family's business is all done by the long house, and although the other houses are also done, they all rely on the relationship between the long house, and the people in the vein of the long house are the key.

Only by finding those in charge can we thoroughly figure out where the Wen family's smuggled goods are purchased and how they are transported. How to go to sea, and how to write off the accounts after trading with the Japanese invaders.

This is a complete industrial chain, Zhang Mu is undercover in the Wen family, but he only sees a surface.

Starting from here, you can dig out the entire chain of underground seafood in Wenzhou.

At that time, if you want to find out how much corruption has been committed by a few corrupt officials, it will be the same as playing.

Han Fangshan stood behind Zhang Mu with a sad face, because Kong Gaofei's body was still lying there not far away. Cover with a white cloth.

He was secretly worried in his heart, after returning to Hangzhou, he was afraid that Wang An would not give up.

On the contrary, Zhang Mu's face was calm, as if nothing had happened just now, but he was carrying his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Wang Monkey hurriedly came to Zhang Mu's side and said, "My lord, Xie Shopkeeper has found it." ”

Zhang Mu was immediately overjoyed, this shopkeeper Xie was the middleman he met Wen Desheng at that time. Naturally, he also belongs to the ranks of the Wen family's subordinates who are familiar with the insider.

originally thought that the Wen family incident had happened, and this man surnamed Xie should have fled for his life with the followers of the Wen family, but he didn't expect to find it.

"Where did you find it?" Zhang Mu wanted to know if there were any clues about other people, so he asked deliberately.

"It's a coincidence. After entering the city yesterday, you sent us to keep an eye on Furui Xiangbu Village, which was already closed by the time we arrived. Later, I found out about it after a little inquiry. It turned out that since the accident in the Wen family, this cloth village has been closed for more than ten days. ”

Wang Monkey said. While wiping his sweat, he continued: "The little one was unwilling, so he inquired with the people around him, and then he learned that this shopkeeper Xie's home was outside the city, and he was a well-known filial son. So Xiao pondered that he shouldn't have escaped, and took someone to his house to arrest someone early in the morning, but it was blocked as soon as he was blocked. ”

Zhang Mu smiled: "You have also worked hard, where is the shopkeeper Xie?" ”

"Just outside the gate, do you want to summon him?" Wang Monkey asked.

Zhang Mu glanced around, pointed to the main room of the compound and said, "Take him there." ”

Let's talk about it, I entered the main room of the compound first.

This hall is located on the central axis of the outer courtyard of the Wen family, named Gusheng Hall, and is the core building of the Wen family's power.

Unlike Wanrong Hall in the backyard, it almost decided that the Wen family did not make a major decision here.

Zhang Mu sat in the position of the master of the Wen family, reaching out and stroking the armrest, which was as smooth as jade.

This Taishi chair made of high-quality sunken wood, the armrests have been repeatedly rubbed by people.

I don't know how many generations of the Wen family heads sit on this chair and steer the Wen family.

And now, the building is about to collapse, and I am afraid that only this chair can witness the whole process of the rise and fall of the Wen family.

Because he was raiding his house, it was a mess inside and outside, and Wang Monkey looked for a long time before he found a pot of tea and brought it to Zhang Mu.

When Zhang Mu just picked up the teacup and took a sip, he saw that the shopkeeper Xie was escorted into the lobby by two brocade guards.

Zhang Mu pondered, it is estimated that with the identity of the shopkeeper Xie, I am afraid that he is not qualified to enter here, and this is the first time that the shopkeeper Xie has entered this lobby.

Shopkeeper Xie is completely no longer the way Zhang Mu first saw him, his hair is scattered, and his clothes are mixed with sewage and mud, and he is embarrassed.

He was still wearing heavy shackles, and as soon as he knelt on the ground, he couldn't straighten his waist.

Zhang Muke knows how powerful this shackle is, when he watched TV series in his previous life, he saw those prisoners wearing shackles and locks, and it was quite easy to look at them all.

In fact, this kind of shackle is generally very heavy, the lighter ones are thirty or forty pounds, and the heavier ones are fifty or sixty pounds.

Put it around your neck, your hands are also on it, you can't walk a few steps, your shoulders can't stand it, people like Shopkeeper Xie who have never worked as coolies, where can you stand this thing?

"Lift your head up." Zhang Mu put down the teacup and said coldly.

Shopkeeper Xie slowly raised his head, and when he saw Zhang Mu, he couldn't help but be shocked.

For a long time, he didn't say a word, his dry and purple lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he never said a word.

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, the mountains don't turn, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Xie sighed, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "I have long thought that you have a problem, but I didn't expect you to be a Jinyiwei." ”

"Now, I don't think I need to say more. Right now, you only have one way to go, and if you vomit everything you know, you may have another way to live. Zhang Mu said.

"Hehe, I don't know what this adult is called? Presumably it shouldn't be Yan's surname, right? Shopkeeper Xie sneered.

"Presumptuous, this is Zhang Mu of the Hundred Households of Jinyi Wei, Lord Zhang." The king monkey said angrily.

"Yikes! It turned out to be a hundred households in brocade clothes, disrespectful and disrespectful. Then Lord Zhang, there is a saying that you should have heard, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death. Xie someone doesn't read much, but he understands the truth. I don't know anything about the Wen family. Xie shopkeeper said.

"I'm loyal, and I'm not you. It's just that you have to think about it, you want to accompany the Wen family to shipwreck, and I admire your approach. It's just that if you don't say it, there will always be people in this compound. Why don't you think about it for your elderly mother in the family. I have no grievances with you, just business. As long as the information you provide is useful, it will not be difficult for me to spare your life. Zhang Mu looked outside faintly and said. (To be continued......)
