Zhang Ke led everyone to the backyard, where they were greeted by a blazing fire, and a three-story attic was burning. The buildings of the royal family are mostly made of wood, and the thick paint and color paintings on the outside are all things that are caught on fire.

Looking at the fire that rose to the sky, Zhang Ke was simply mad, the Wang family must be destroying the criminal evidence, how could he let the duck in his hand fly!

"Quick, put out the fire!"

Zhang Ke and the soldiers worked together, but fortunately, there was a garden not far from the attic, and there were two wells near the garden gate, and the big guy carried water to extinguish the fire.

They alone were not enough, Wu Boyan even took a sword and forced the servants of the Wang family to work together, and they were busy until the third watch, and the fire was finally extinguished, but the attic was also burned down.

Lifting the dark ruins, you can see a lot of paper ashes, and in some places there are half-burned broken papers.

Pick up a few casually, with the help of the light of the lantern, you can see the words "30,000 taels of silver" and "grain", there is no doubt that this is an account book, maybe even recorded the trade between the Wang family and the Tartars, but now it has been burned like this, and it is useless at all.

Zhang Ke clutched the waste paper, his fists crumbling.

"Wang Cheng!"

"Uncle, my nephew is here!"

"You're experienced, and immediately take someone to clean up the rubble and see if you can find anything useful. Besides, you arrange a few torture masters to torture the Wang family's accounts. Sue them as long as they tell the truth, the official will give them a way to live, if not, they will be finished with the Wang family! ”

Wang Cheng nodded hurriedly and took the men and horses to make arrangements.

Zhang Ke strode back to the ancestral hall of the Wang family. Hang Zhengqing, Xiong Huan and others were waiting here, and when they heard that there was a fire, Xiong Huan's face showed a smug smile.

Burn it, burn it! It's all burned, see what the surname Zhang can find!

"Lord Zhongcheng, Zhang Ke's identity is suspicious. He also persecuted the gentry and forced them to set fire to their homes, and the cruelty of his methods was so reprehensible that his crimes were too numerous to mention. Humble and courageous begged the adults to take the lead in the book, participate in Zhang Ke, and seek justice for the people.

Hang Zhengqing snorted and glanced lazily.

"Xiong Yushi, the Wang family is involved in a big case, and I will cry out for them. It's better for your son-in-law to do it, the official is not interested! ”

Hang Zhengqing's words made Xiong Huan's face red, and he could only sit in his position.

Almost on the third watch, Zhang Ke returned to the ancestral hall, and everyone stood up.

"Master Zhang, what's the situation? Is it all burning? Hang Zhengqing asked.

"What, Zhongcheng is looking forward to burning it all?"

"No, no, no!" Hang Zhengqing hurriedly waved his hand. Just now, Hang Zhengqing has carefully sorted it out. Zhang Ke said that the Wang family was involved in Shuotuo's case, and he had also heard about it.

With the skills of the Wang family, as well as the relationship with the Tatar Jiannu, it may be true!

Come to think of it. Hang Zhengqing's whole body was cold. What does it mean to be bold, this is it!

The grandson of the old slave who was finally captured was rescued, and if he went back. It simply sucked the face of the imperial court. As you can imagine, there is a lot of anger above. Which official wants to be involved, it is absolutely broken.

Hang Zhengqing has made up his mind. Zhang Ke can toss as much as he wants, it's a big deal to lose his official position and resign, don't mess up your head.

"Lord Zhang, this official was ordered to patrol Datong, and there were traitors under his rule, and he was extremely ashamed. Mr. Zhang only needs to investigate, and the official will fully cooperate. Hang Zhengqing slapped his chest loudly.

"Lord Hang, the Wang family is in Datong, and there are still many industries and properties in Shanxi, you immediately order that all of them will be seized. Everything in it, as long as it has words, must not be lost or damaged a little! You can do it. ”

Hang Zhengqing left the Wang family with all the civil and military forces, Xiong Huan still had the heart to argue a few words, but in the face of knives and guns, he could only stomp his feet.

"Zhang Ke, you wait, if you can't find anything, this official and you will not die!"

……

The time of the night is fleeting, Zhang Ke has not slept all night, his eyes are bloodshot, the physical exhaustion is secondary, and the mental exhaustion is really terrible!

He thought that by taking him by surprise and taking it first, he would be able to get evidence of the Wang family's dealings with officials, and everyone would be at the mercy of the time when the time came.

But after a night of investigation, Zhang Kexian thought about the problem simply.

In fact, the Wang family began to destroy the incriminating evidence a few days ago, and this time they burned down the attic, and almost all the ledgers were burned.

Although there is still a large amount of torn paper, it will not take more than ten days to clean it out, and it is not possible to determine whether it will be useful or not.

Fighting snakes does not die, the Wang family is not an ordinary snake, but a strange python! They have been rooted in Shanxi for hundreds of years, and the money bank ticket number is all over the world, and the breadth of friends is unimaginable.

Behind the Wang family stands the Jin merchants, standing the Jin party!

Fighting with such a behemoth, if you don't kill with one blow, you will have endless troubles.

Zhang Ke sat sullenly for a long time, and since the evidence could not be found, he started with his person. He said, "Go and bring Wang Dengku here." ”

After a short time, the soldiers escorted Wang Dengku to Zhang Ke.

Wang Dengku has been pampered for decades, and he has never encountered this kind of thing, he is simply furious, furious!

"Master Zhang, although my dynasty regards commerce as a lowly industry, businessmen as untouchables. However, my king Dengku transports grain for the imperial court every year, the workshop under my name builds weapons for the border army, and my ticket number helps to turn over the military salary! Ask yourself, Wang has no place to be sorry for the court! Wang Dengku roared loudly: "You treat Wang like this, Wang must go to the court to seek justice!" ”

Syllable!

Zhang Ke slapped on the table, shaking the teapot and flying.

"Enough, Wang Dengku, don't be ashamed in front of this official, tell you the truth, I have already caught Wang Hong, I know everything about your deal with the Tartars, this time I am going to cut you down with a big tumor!"

"What?"

Hearing Wang Hong's words, Wang Dengku was shocked, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground.

"No wonder, no wonder!" Wang Dengku smiled bitterly: "No wonder you dare to do something to my Wang family, I didn't expect that slave to fall into your hands!" ”

"Hahaha, Wang Dengku, you know you're scared!"

"No!" Wang Dengku's eyes suddenly lit up, he got up from the ground, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "I'm not afraid, you know." Before I asked Wang Hong to go to the grassland, I had already sent his family to the south, and I had long since disconnected from the Wang family. It is commonplace for evil servants to murder the old master, and it is too naïve to want to punish the crime based on just a few confessions. ”

is worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, and he is really cunning, and he will be completely blamed in a few words.

Zhang Ke sneered: "Wang Dengku, don't forget, the Wang family's compound is under the control of this official. Can a single fire burn all the incriminating evidence? This official doesn't believe it at all, don't forget that people have left their names, geese have left their voices, you have done so many hurtful things, retribution is coming! ”

A trace of horror flashed in Wang Dengku's eyes, and then he sneered: "Lord Zhang, you can check it casually!" Two days at most, when the Qincha from the capital comes, I see how you can cover the sky with one hand! ”

"Stubborn!"

Zhang Ke slapped the table hard. Let people take Wang Dengku down. Wang Dengku laughed as he walked, as if mocking Zhang Ke.

"Uncle, there is a good thing. We found another batch of ledgers in Wang Dengku's study! ”

Wang Cheng ran in with a smile, holding a large pile of ledgers in his arms. Zhang Ke's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly snatched a few copies.

"Xiguan paving: two thousand five hundred taels. Zhenchuan Fort Xingxue: one hundred and twenty taels. Myofeng Temple almsgiving: three thousand five hundred taels. Open a porridge factory: 5,000 taels ......"

Zhang Ke read it, and his face became more and more ugly.

"This is the ledger of their royal family's bridge and paving the road!"

Wang Cheng was also dumbfounded. Hurriedly said: "Uncle, we have also found two silver vaults, in which the gold and silver treasures add up to millions of dollars. These grandchildren are so rich......"

"It's useless." Zhang Ke smiled bitterly: "Although Wang Dengku donated the Wupin Prefect, he is still a businessman, so it is not surprising that he is rich. The problem is to find the eyebrows of the money. ”

Wang Cheng's face suddenly fell, and he said worriedly: "Uncle, although we have found a lot of account books, most of them are firewood, rice, oil and salt, or they are good deeds and accumulate virtues, as well as ordinary accounts with ticket numbers, and they have burned all the useful ones!" ”

Zhang Ke was also in a lawsuit, and at this time, suddenly Ma Biao ran in.

"My lord, Miss Shen is here to visit."

"Which Shen girl?"

"Master Zhang forgot about the little girl so quickly!" Shen Qingyan frowned and walked in.

Zhang Ke was taken aback, and said with a sneer: "Miss Shen, why did you run away to Shanxi?" ”

"Besides, aren't you fighting in Liaodong! The medicinal materials of Tongrentang were all sent to Guangning, so I went to Shanxi to purchase licorice and wolfberries and the like. Who knew that Master Zhang ran to Shanxi again, and when he heard that he was still a minister, the little woman dared to visit. If Lord Zhang doesn't welcome it, the little woman will say goodbye. ”

Shen Qingyan turned around and left, Zhang Ke was worried about the account book, and hurriedly shouted.

"Slow, Miss Shen stay!"

In a hurry, he stretched out his hand to grab Shen Qingyan and sat opposite him.

"Miss Shen, your family has been in business for many years, so you must be no stranger to account books, right?"

"Well, I started settling accounts for my dad when I was seven or eight years old."

"That's great, you can help me see, from these accounts, can you find out the flow of the Wang family's money?"

When Shen Qingyan heard this, he picked up the account book in front of him, and faced with a string of numbers, the woman's expression was extremely focused. After quickly flipping through a few books, Shen Qingyan frowned and said, "There are ghosts in these accounts. ”

Zhang Ke suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Are you sure, this matter is related to my net worth and life, blessings and misfortunes, honor and disgrace, girl, don't be careless!" ”

"Hmm!" Shen Qingyan glanced at Zhang Ke angrily, and said, "This girl is not a joker, call my bookkeeper, and I will do my best to find out the problem." ”

……

In the warm room, the account room is lined up, the abacus beads are crackling, it has been a day and a half in a row, everyone has not slept endlessly, when someone can't stand it, they will send a bowl of ginseng soup, and a ten taels of silver ingots, stimulating everyone to work hard.

Shen Qingyan took a few forms, moved his stiff spine, and went to the recliner by the window, where Zhang Ke was sleeping soundly.

"Master Zhang, wake up!"

"Ahh Zhang Ke opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Shen Qingyan's slightly tired look, and his old face was flushed: "I, I didn't sleep on purpose......"

"You know, it's useless if you're awake." Shen Qingyan smiled and said, "Master Zhang, do you want to hear where the money goes?" (To be continued!)
