Su Hao and his entourage entered the city smoothly, and under the guidance of Ma Wu, they went straight to Huguang Qianzhuang.

Coming to the gate of Qianzhuang, Xiong Minyang made a gesture, and the soldiers quickly dispersed, surrounding Qianzhuang. Then, Xiong Min kicked Ma Wu's ass and said, "Go and call the door." ”

"This ...... Uncle, what should I call the little one? Ma Wuzhan trembled and asked Xiong Minyang for instructions.

"I don't know what you're called, as long as you can open the door, you don't have to worry about the rest." Xiong Min said.

Ma Wu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle, are you really officers and soldiers?" It's not a strongman pretending, is it? ”

Xiong Minyang almost made Ma Wu laugh angrily, he took out the musket from his arms angrily, put it on Ma Wu's head, and said: "Do you want me to give you a hammer so that you believe that we are really officers and soldiers?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ma Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly followed Xiong Minyang's instructions and ran forward to call the door. He remembered that Xiong Minyang's request to him was to call the door open, and he had an idea, and while patting the door knocker, he shouted: "Shopkeeper Xia, shopkeeper Xia, Lord Zhixian is invited!" ”

Ma Wulian shouted a few times, the door creaked open, poked a head out of the door, and said scoldingly: "Who is it, it doesn't stop early in the morning." ”

This Ma Wu is also a relatively active person in the county, and he recognized that the person in the door was Ren Zonghui, the bookkeeper of Huguang Qianzhuang, so he asked with a smile: "It's Mr. Ren, is the shopkeeper Xia here?" ”

Ren Zonghui looked at Ma Wu, vaguely felt a little familiar, and said, "You are the little flag called Wu, right?" Shopkeeper Xia is still sleeping, what are you looking for him? ”

"Yes......" Ma Wu couldn't help but look back at Xiong Minyang, because Xiong Minyang said that as long as he deceived the door open, he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

Without waiting for Ma Wu to say anything, Xiong Minyang had already stepped forward with an arrow. grabbed Ren Zonghui's neckline with one hand, and said in a low voice: "It's a certain family looking for Xia Shushen, you be honest and lead the way." ”

"Ahh There is a strong ......" Ren Zonghui was stunned for a moment, and shouted at a sharp voice. He wanted to shout to say, "There is a strong man robbing", but as soon as he spat out two words, Xiong Minyang's other hand had already stuck in his throat, making him completely lose his voice.

"What's going on. What is strong? The two nurses of the money bank heard the sound and ran out of the room. Xiong Min kicked the gate of Qianzhuang open, and more than a dozen soldiers of the survey battalion rushed in like fierce tigers, and before the two guards could figure out what was going on, they had already been pressed to the ground and tied up, each with a walnut in their mouths. In case they shout.

"Control all the rooms, especially the account room and Xia Shushen's bedroom!" Su Hao decisively gave the order.

At that time, the layout of the houses was much the same. Huguang Qianzhuang is just a set of houses that have been entered several times before and after, and in a few minutes, the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion have already controlled all the rooms, and Xia Shushen, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang, who was only wearing underwear, was also pulled out of the bed and escorted to Su Hao.

"You're the shopkeeper of the bank?" Su Hao asked Xia Shushen.

Xia Shushen glanced up at Su Hao. He asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

"Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, experience in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Su Hao." Su Hao replied.

"You're Bachelor Su?" Xia Shushen didn't seem surprised, he asked calmly: "What laws did the grass people commit, and why did Master Su forcibly break into the bank." Detaining innocent people? ”

Su Hao said: "You are suspected of colluding with strongmen and plotting to kill the official of the imperial court, and the official chased the murderer for thousands of miles and chased him to your mansion." ”

"Murder of the imperial court?" Xia Shushen was stunned. He had already heard the people above talk about the news that Su Hao wanted to be unfavorable to everyone, and he was also ready to deal with various incidents. But he never expected it. Su Hao would actually arrest him on such a charge, this is simply something that is out of touch.

"Hu Dengjia is your guy's trick?" Su Hao asked.

"Uh...... Oh, yes. Xia Shushen replied that this Hu Dengjia was the usury shopkeeper who was captured by Xiong Minyang in the Xinglong Gambling House, but in fact, his real identity was just an ordinary guy in Huguang Qianzhuang. Xia Shushen knew the news of the accident in the Xinglong gambling house, but because the Kanyu camp completely blocked the news in the gambling house, Xia Shushen didn't know Hu Dengjia's life or death, and he didn't know what he said inside.

Su Hao said: "Last night, a group of strongmen attacked Xinglong Gambling House with gunpowder, intending to rescue Hu Dengjia. At that time, the official was spending the night in the gambling house and was almost injured by the gunpowder of the strongmen, do you dare to say that these strongmen have nothing to do with your Huguang Qianzhuang? ”

"Last night? How is this possible? "Xia Shushen is really at a loss, Hu Dengjia is just a young man, where is it worth him to collude with a strongman to rescue. But to say that this thing is nothing, but it is not like it, this Master Su said it conclusively, could it be that someone was sent from above?

How did Xia Shushen know that the so-called strongmen and gunpowder were just a scene made up by Li Zhen, and the purpose was to splash dirty water on a commercial house such as Huguang Qianzhuang, so that the survey camp could arrest people. Long before the gunpowder exploded, the people and horses sent to the counties had already quietly set off, otherwise, even if Su Hao and his party had wings, it would be impossible to rush to Xi County in the early morning.

"Take Shopkeeper Xia away, go back and try it slowly." Su Hao didn't bother to grind his teeth with Xia Shushen, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers left with Xia Shushen in their hands.

There were tents, men, wives, maids, and so on in the money village, seventy or eighty people, large and small, facing the bright spears, few people dared to resist, and they were soon all captured and confined in the middle of the courtyard. Su Hao took Xiong Minyang and went straight to the account room of Qianzhuang and began to check all kinds of books and books.

"No, such a big bank, how can there be so many account books?" Su Hao looked at the few account books that the soldiers had searched out and said in confusion.

"In my opinion, they hid their books." Xiong Minyang said.

"It makes sense." Su Hao came back to his senses, now that the wind in Runing Mansion is tight, how can a sensitive place like Huguang Qianzhuang not prepare in advance.

"Bring the account office surnamed Ren over." Su Hao ordered.

Several soldiers agreed, turned around and escorted Ren Zonghui over. Someone kicked Ren Zonghui's knee, and Ren Zonghui knelt down with a grunt.

"Butler Ren, let me ask you, where is the account book of the money village hidden?" Su Hao walked up to Ren Zonghui and asked condescendingly.

"Bachelor Huisu, these are the account books of the money village." Ren Zonghui replied by pointing to the account books that Su Hao had just read.

"Who are you fooling?" Su Hao said, "I've seen it, these account books are just things to hide people's ears, where are your secret account books hidden?" ”

"The villain doesn't know any secret books." Ren Zonghui replied.

"Bastard thing!" Xiong Min stepped forward and slapped Ren Zonghui, "My family guard asks you something, you can only recruit from the truth, you don't have a word, and the master doesn't care about killing or burying it." ”

Ren Zong was hit by this slap and the corners of his mouth bleed, but he still insisted on it: "If you go back to the military master, the villain really doesn't know what secret account books there are." ”

"Do you really want to fight to the death?" Xiong Min Yang said, took out his musket again, pointed at Ren Zonghui's lower body, and said, "If you don't say it again, the master will blow up your balls." ”

"Master Jun, the villain really didn't lie, even if there are any secret account books, the villain doesn't know about it." Ren Zonghui pretended to be pitiful, but his mouth did not loosen at all.

Xiong Minyang beat Ren Zonghui a few more times, but he still couldn't make Ren Zonghui succumb. Of course, he couldn't really shoot Ren Zonghui, after all, Daming still had a law against indiscriminate punishment, and Xiong Minyang didn't dare to go too far.

Su Hao asked the soldiers to escort Ren Zonghui down, and summoned Xia Shushen, but as a result, Xia Shushen, like Ren Zonghui, bit the same and insisted that there was no secret account book. Qian Zhuang's men were also summoned for questioning, these people's bones are not as hard as the boss, during the interrogation, someone confessed that Qian Zhuang did do a lot of shady things, but as for what secret account books, it is estimated that they exist, but with their positions, they really do not know where to hide.

"Go, find some pickaxes, dig three feet into the ground, I don't believe I can't dig out." Su Hao hatefully ordered, the total amount of money is such a big place, and the places that can hide account books are also limited, Xia Shushen can't hide the account books outside the money village, right? That would mean that every account would have to be run outside, which is certainly unrealistic.

"Hehe, Su Shoubei, you don't have to look for a pickaxe, we'll see you in a while." Xiong Min said to Su Hao with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Su Hao asked, he has been staying in Runing City to confuse Liu Qichang during this period of time, what kind of work have these people done outside, he just heard some reports, and he didn't fully understand. Looking at Xiong Minyang's meaning, it seems that he has left some backhand.

"Report! Chen Daochang is here. ”

With the sergeant's announcement, the sanctimonious Chen Guanyu walked in from outside the door. He walked in front of Su Hao, made a salute, and recited "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" again, as if he had a bit of a master's style.

"Lao Chen, what have you been doing for a while?" Su Hao asked Chen Guanyu with a smile.

Chen Guanyu also said with a smile: "If you go back to the owner, Xiaodao has been busy working as a staff member for various big families for a period of time, and he has made some money from this bundle of money." ”

"Okay, you old man, take a share of my salary, and run out to earn extra money." Su Hao scolded with a smile, "Could it be that this Huguang Money Village is also your proprietor?" ”

Chen Guanyu said: "Exactly." Shopkeeper Xia's concubine had a convulsive disease, and Xiaodao used a talisman to save her, whether Shopkeeper Xia hired Xiaodao as his staff, and even hid some secret books, he didn't hide Xiaodao. ”

Su Hao was overjoyed: "So, do you know where the secret account book of Huguang Qianzhuang is hidden?" ”

Chen Guanyu pointed with his hand and said, "Actually, this mystery lies in that pillar, don't you notice that there is a dark grid embedded in that pillar?" ”
