Chapter 91: The Trap

Finding that so many officers and soldiers were coming, Shopkeeper Tang was taken aback, and even his subordinates didn't know what to do. In this world, a soldier is a soldier, a thief is a thief, and there is no thief who is not afraid when he sees a soldier.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were powerful, how could the shopkeeper Tang dare to continue to fight with Li Zhong and them, if it goes on like this, even if Li Zhong is destroyed, the officers and soldiers will be destroyed when they turn back. Moreover, it is estimated that they can't destroy Li Zhong, and the officers and soldiers have to take action when they see that they are disobedient.

So the shopkeeper Tang immediately ordered his subordinates to stop, and Li Zhong and they were also very acquainted, so they did not continue to do it. The two sides were separated, and now at a glance, more than 40 people died on Li Zhong's side, and more than 70 people died on Tang's shopkeeper's side, and there were many injuries on both sides.

Seeing that he and Jin Chan took two steps into the circle, and then Jin Chan said loudly: "What are you all doing, fighting here with weapons in the middle of the night, and there is still a law in your eyes against the king of the Yin Court!" Whoever is in the lead, give it to me! ”

In these years, whoever has the most people will win. Seeing that this officer and soldier are full of Yinyin, and the golden cicada is violent, how dare the shopkeeper Tang not come out, he came to the front of the golden cicada in a few steps, and said with a smile on his face: "This general, the small one is the shopkeeper of the Tang Ji Warehouse in Hangzhou, the small meaning, not the economy, I don't take much when I go out today, and when I look back, the small one has another filial piety." While talking, Shopkeeper Tang took out a handful of gold leaves from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the golden cicada.

Jin Chan looked at Jin Yezi and snorted coldly, "Just such a thing, you send it to ask for food, I have thousands of brothers, how can I divide it?" Besides, this is a big case for you, gather a crowd to fight with weapons, and maybe you also intend to rebel, if you hand it over to the top, it will be difficult for Lao Yinzi to be promoted to a higher level. You should play this little thing, so let's take it back and play it yourself. After speaking, Jin Cicada threw a handful of gold leaves into the face of the shopkeeper Tang.

This kung fu, Li Zhong also came to the front of the golden cicada. We won't talk about the relationship between these two, but after the two met, they didn't seem to know each other. Li Zhong looked very honest, nodded and said: "This military master, this fact has nothing to do with the small one, the little one is just going to do business with the Tang Ji Warehouse, and make an appointment to trade here tonight." Unexpectedly, they wanted to rob us instead, so we had no choice but to defend ourselves. If you don't believe it, please see, our goods are still on the car, but they, except for carrying weapons, have no intention of doing business, and they are clearly robbing. I hope that the general will avenge the death of our brothers. ”

Jin Chan nodded, looked at the shopkeeper Tang, and said coldly, "Is this the case?" Don't you know what the crime of gathering a crowd to loot is? ”

"This general, these people are all pirates, and we are actually working with them to share the worries of the court. If you don't believe the general, you can look at the goods on their cars, they are all goods from the South Seas. Chaoyin court forbids the sea, they traffick such goods, they didn't steal them at sea, where else could they come from. Shopkeeper Tang quibbled.

"You say they're pirates?" Jin Chan looked at Li Zhong twice and said, "You kid doesn't look like a good person......

The shopkeeper Tang's face immediately burst with joy, but Jin Chan's next words made him fall into an ice cave. At this moment, Jin Chan raised his subordinates and pointed to the shopkeeper Tang, "You kid knows that they are pirates, why didn't you report to the governor of the Yinfu, but robbed and killed them yourself, what is your intention?" I will look at you, it is clear that you are interested in seeing wealth, despising the court and the official government, what is the difference between doing this and a robber? Come on, take them all down, if you dare to resist, you will be punished according to the confrontation of the official army, gather a crowd to rebel, and kill them! ”

After speaking, Jin Chan waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers rushed up, and the first one held down the Tang shopkeeper. Tang Shopkeeper's subordinates, the dragons are leaderless, I don't know what to do, but Jin Chan's words are clear, dare to resist, is to rebel, don't talk about killing. Seeing that there were many officers and soldiers, who dared to resist Yin, they were confiscated one by one and fell to the ground. Of course, Kong Jian and Cao Yu were no exception, and they were all held down by officers and soldiers.

Everyone was captured, and Jin Chan said to Youjian in front of the shopkeeper Tang: "General, we were ordered to go to the camp of the water division, but we don't want to encounter such a thing." It's not early now, and I won't rush into the city, so I think it's better to follow the military order, go to the Yamen of the Navy Division first, and let him decide. ”

You nodded and said, "What Brother Jin said is good, let's start here." ”

When the shopkeeper Tang saw that all his subordinates were captured, he thought that these officers and soldiers were coming for them, but now when he heard this, he realized that he was unlucky and happened to meet the soldiers and horses of the sailor.

Next, Youjian and Jin Chan led the army, escorted the Tang shopkeeper and Li Zhong, and continued to move forward, passing Daling Village, and did not walk for long, and came to the newly built Sailor Yamen. The sailor yamen, some of them are ropes, tie everyone with ropes, find a room to lock up Yin, and the matter will be over.

I don't know what Jin Chan thinks, he didn't release Li Zhong and his men, and even locked up with Tang's shopkeepers. Yes, Zheng Zhilong, of course, they don't know Li Zhong, so they won't ask more, don't look at the lateness, but Zheng Zhilong still set up a banquet, and everyone ate and drank. Early the next morning, Youjian and Jin Chan led the troops to escort the Tang shopkeeper and Li Zhong to Hangzhou.

After entering Hangzhou, the matter quickly spread, after all, the shopkeeper Tang is also a well-known figure in Hangzhou, why he was arrested, naturally someone will inquire. The rumor soon came out, it turned out that the shopkeeper Tang was going to eat black and rob a group of pirates, but he didn't expect to be touched by the officers and soldiers of the sailor division who passed by, so he could only be arrested.

The shopkeeper Tang and others were escorted to the governor's Xingyuan, and after the Ming Lord Yue, Lord Yue was now in the Xingyuan Shengtang, and at the same time ordered that the middle door be opened and the surname Baiyin was allowed to be heard outside the second gate.

The trial of the shopkeeper Tang is already big news, especially the trial of the governor Lord Yue, this case must be seen if you look at it, it is often said that Lord Yue is the reincarnation of the blue sky, but what a blue sky, they have all heard of it, they have not seen it, and they are fortunate to take a look, it is really rare.

As a result, outside the governor's line, there was soon a sea of people, and there was an endless stream of people with the surname Baiyin. Those who got the news early can still enter the door and watch outside the second gate, and those who come late can only line up outside the gate and listen to the broadcast inside.

Yue Hall ascended, Jiang Jie stood on the left hand, the three bronze guards stood on the right side, Yin Zhu, Tong Guan, Tie Qiu, and Li Haoran stood in the two compartments, and further down, there were a group of errands.

Seeing that the onlookers surnamed Baiyin were blocking the second door, Yue Su knocked on the shocked wood and said loudly: "Come on, bring someone to the court!" ”

The voice settled, and the sound of mighty Yinwu sounded on both sides, and after a while, Li Haoquan took the messenger to escort the Tang shopkeeper and Li Zhong to the court. After going to the court, the officer was unceremoniously, raised his leg and kicked the two to their knees.

"Xiaomin knocks to see the eldest Yinye......" Li Zhong was the first to say.

"Xiaomin knocks to see Lord Qingtianyue." Shopkeeper Tang also said.

"Who are the surnames of the two of you, and where are the names, don't tell me quickly." Yue Su said in a deep voice.

"The little one's name is Li Ye, and he is from Guangxi." Li Zhong gave a false name.

"The little one's name is Tang Zhen, and he is a native of Hangzhou." Shopkeeper Tang replied truthfully.

Yue Su nodded and said: "Tang Zhen, I heard from the deputy general of the water division that you are interested in making money, gathering people to rob Yin, knowing that Li Ye is a pirate, but you don't know about it, you don't have the Yin Court, you don't have the official Yin Mansion, but there is such a thing?" ”

This case is a combination of stolen goods, Tang Zhen is indefensible, but the charges of the Yinting Court and the Yinfu are too big, how can he be guilty. Tang Zhen hurriedly rushed up and kowtowed, crying and said: "Qingtian Old Yinye Ming Yinjian, the small one has no eyes and no eyes in the Yin Court, and no eyes in the heart of the Yin Mansion. Knowing that Li Ye was a pirate, he didn't know about it, and it was true, but it was really just a matter of getting rich, and nothing else. I also hope that the eldest Yinye will think about the small ones for the sake of suppressing bandits for the Yinting court, and he will be lightly dismissed. ”

Fighting with pirates can be said to be defense, not breaking the law, and will be rewarded, so Tang Zhen explained it like this, hoping to get through the trick. It's just that he doesn't look at what Lord Yue is doing, he can be so easy to fool. Besides, what is Li Zhong doing, he must have ulterior motives when he is arrested today.

"Tang Zhen, you said that you are just looking for money, not the Yinting Court and the Yinfu without officials, so what do you mean by raising so many martial arts outfits? Moreover, each of your men is armed with a sword, and according to Bendu, in addition to doing legitimate business, you must occasionally do some unprofitable business on weekdays. Otherwise, how could he be so bold and do the act of robbing pirates and eating black? Yue Su said in a deep voice again.

Lord Yue's questioning in the hall is generally quite sharp and difficult to refute. His words suddenly hit the point, Tang Zhen's face turned white as soon as he "brushed", and said in an unfirm tone: "Back to the adult's words, this is indeed only the first time, I have never done it before, and I hope the adult will see it." ”

"The Governor will see for himself! This governor will ask you again, who is the owner of this Tang Ji goods store? Yue Su asked.

"Our owner's surname is Tang Minglong." Of course, Tang Zhen didn't dare to hide this matter, because the entire Hangzhou City knew who the owner of Tang Ji Warehouse was.

"Do you know what you've done?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"Our hosts...... He...... He doesn't know ......," Tang Zhen replied cautiously.

"I don't know!" Yue Su "snapped", slammed the hall hard, and shouted: "If he doesn't know, with your small shopkeeper, you can mobilize more than 300 people to gather and rob?" ”

"My lord, our host really doesn't know. Generally speaking, the owner of the warehouse is entrusted to the small one. Tang Zhen hurriedly explained.

"Okay. Then Ben Du asked you again, what do your 300 people usually do in the store? Is it to act as a beater, occasionally rob Yin, or do other goods? Yue Su asked coldly.

"No, no, no......" Tang Zhen shook his head like a rattle, and replied carefully: "This...... Some of these people are coolies who work in the goods store on weekdays, and some of them are the nurses of the warehouse. Our goods bank often takes goods to other places, and there are more people to raise, which is actually understandable. In particular, there are still Liukou in the north, once we go to the north to transport goods, there are fewer people, where do we dare to go. ”

"There is some truth in this, but you said that your proprietor did not know anything about it, and the governor did not dare to believe it, and where did the governor buy those weapons, and the governor must also be investigated. Come on, let him sign first. ”

After Yue Su finished speaking, the clerk's office took the written confession to Tang Zhen, and after Tang Zhen signed and drew it, he heard Yue Su say: "Tang Zhen, you have signed and drawn the confession, if the governor finds that it is false, the governor will definitely make you look good." Where do you live? The Governor will invite him to come and confront him! ”

"Our host ......" Tang Zhen's face was embarrassed, sank slightly, and said: "Our host is not in Hangzhou now." ”
