Luo Shixin recounted in detail about him and Cheng Yanjin's drinking in Yipinju Liquor Shop, and finally said: "Although the guys of Yipinju repeatedly said that this was transported from Guanzhong, he was still a little suspicious, even if it was Guanzhong rice wine, it was extremely difficult to transport it to Taiyuan. ”

"Humph!"

Yang Yuanqing snorted heavily, "It's impossible at all, I have already issued a strict order to strictly check the import of wine by land and water, even if they are smuggled in, or if they were retained before, the two of you drank ten bottles of wine, can they afford to supply this amount?" ”

Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine bottle again, looked at it, and asked again: "How much is this bottle of wine?" ”

"Back to the manager, this bottle of wine costs ten yuan, which is the same price as the best Dali peach wine."

Yang Yuanqing sneered slightly, "Such a bottle of wine used to sell for up to thirty yuan, but now it actually sells for ten yuan, and the windfall profit of thirty times is enough to make them risk losing their heads." ”

"Boss, maybe the wine is made by someone else, and they buy it."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I know about this matter, you can report it in time, it's very good, by the way, I will tell Cheng Yanjin for me, if he dares to go out to drink again, his general will not want to be a general." ”

Luo Shixin bowed, said goodbye and left, Yang Yuanqing pondered this matter with his hand, if it is a general liquor shop that is prohibited from selling alcohol, it should be arrested and killed, it is easy to solve, but this time it is the Taiyuan royal family.

Yang Yuanqing didn't feel embarrassed, but he had a kind of luck in his heart, last time he spared the Wang family, because the reason was insufficient, if the son of Wang Xu was used to punish the Wang family in the East Palace of Chang'an, this could not convince the public, otherwise what would Yang Shidao do?

It was precisely because he was worried that the punishment would cause instability in the political situation of the imperial court, so Yang Yuanqing had to take a step back. only deposed Wang Xu and Wang Su.

Among the officials who strongly opposed the Central Plains War this time, they were mainly officials from the Hedong faction, and most of them were officials from the Pei Party and the Wang Party.

They feared that it would increase the burden and harm the interests of the Hedong clans, and strongly opposed the Central Plains Campaign. Yang Yuanqing was extremely annoyed in his heart, if he didn't clean up these opponents, they would become more and more powerful, and they would gradually form an internal force that hindered their conquest of the world.

The Pei family can't move for the time being, but the Wang family brews privately. This undoubtedly gave him another excellent excuse, Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back, and then ordered: "Let Wei Ben come to see me!" ”

Not long after, the internal guard general Wei Ben hurriedly came and knelt down on one knee to salute: "Humble Wei Ben see the general manager!" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said coldly: "General Wei, you disappointed me a little!" ”

Wei Ben was taken aback. He didn't know what was going on, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to say anything, let alone distinguish for himself.

After a while, Yang Yuanqing continued: "Yipinju Liquor Store is openly selling rice wine. Don't you know this? ”

Wei Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly said: "This matter is already known to the lowly duty, because it involves the Wang family, the lowly duty did not startle the snake, but sent a brother to the wine shop to be a partner and collect evidence. Be prepared to wait until the time is ripe to catch them all, of course. The lowly officials are also prepared to report the matter to the governor tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

Yang Yuanqing's face softened slightly, if Wei Ben didn't know anything about this matter, then he couldn't forgive, he groaned for a while, and asked again: "In addition to Yipinju Wine Shop violating the ban on selling wine, are there any other wine shops or wine shops that violate the ban?" ”

"Back to the manager. In addition to Yipinju liquor store, there is also a Jinshi liquor store near Guozixue that also sells prohibited alcohol. These two are from the background of the Wang family, and the Jinshi liquor store said that it was selling the liquor stored in the past, and there were also several small liquor shops that had privately sold forbidden liquor, which had been strictly investigated, and the others were not found again, and they thought it was ......."

Speaking of this, Wei Ben paused, seemingly a little hesitant, Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, "Go on." ”

"Yes! He thought that the wine selling incident of the two liquor shops should be done by the Wang family without authorization, and the upper echelons of the Wang family may not know about it, otherwise Wang Xu and Wang Su would not allow them to do such a stupid thing. ”

Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter whether Wang Xu and Wang Su know, the important thing is that you dig up evidence for me, I will go to Yan'an County in two days, and before tomorrow night, I want conclusive evidence and a detailed report." ”

"Humble duty understands!" There was more sweat on Wei Ben's forehead......

Yang Yuanqing gave the task at noon, and half an hour later, that is, in the afternoon, a man in a black coarse cloth short coat hurriedly ran into the Yipinju wine shop.

By this time it was past lunchtime, most of the guests had left, and only some businessmen were still drinking and chatting in the wine shop.

The guys were busy cleaning the restaurant and preparing for dinner, and the shopkeeper of Yipinju Liquor Store was surnamed Huang, more than forty years old, white and fat, with a kind face, and once worked as a little housekeeper of the Wang family.

He has been the shopkeeper of Yipinju Liquor Store for five years, conscientious, and shrewd and capable, so that a small liquor shop has brought rolling profits to the Wang family and won the trust of the Wang family.

After a busy noon, the shopkeeper Huang was also a little tired, he had already calculated the accounts, and was sitting in a corner dozing.

This is, a man in a black coarse cloth short coat ran into the wine shop and shouted, "Where is the yellow shopkeeper?" ”

His voice was very loud, and suddenly woke up the shopkeeper Huang, who was dozing off in the corner, and he recognized the person who shouted as his neighbor, so he asked, "Lao Zhang, what is the matter with me?" ”

The man in black saw him and hurriedly ran up and shouted, "Lao Huang, go home quickly!" Your son was hit by a carriage and was bleeding a lot. ”

The shopkeeper Huang jumped up in shock, his heart was flustered, and he hurriedly ordered the guy: "You guys take care of the store, I'll come home and have a look." ”

He didn't say much, but ran to the stable, took out his old horse, turned over on his horse, and ran home with a whip.

Huang's home is in the south of the city, it is a small house covering an area of three acres, which was purchased last year, depleting most of his life savings and setting up a home for his wife and children.

Although he was very satisfied with the house, it was too far away from the wine shop where he worked, almost passing through most of Taiyuan City, and after half an hour, the sweaty Huang shopkeeper ran back to his house.

The shopkeeper Huang has two sons, and he doesn't know which son had an accident, but no matter which son had an accident, it made him anxious.

The door of the house was closed, the shopkeeper Huang turned over and dismounted, picked up his fist and knocked on the door, "Lady, open the door, I'm back." ”

The door opened, but inside the door was a big man in black, who had never met, and the shopkeeper Huang was stunned, "You are.... Who? ”

"I'm a government official, and I'm checking on your son's injuries."

'Servant? 'The shopkeeper Huang was in chaos in his heart, what does this have to do with the officials, how can it alarm the government? He was ignorant and led the horse into the courtyard, and the courtyard door slammed shut, and four or five black-clothed men appeared around him.

There was a carriage parked in the courtyard, the windows of which were covered by a black cloth, and a big man in black with a meaty face leaning on the wheel, carrying a horizontal knife in his hand, was looking at him coldly.

Four or five black-clothed men surrounded him, and the shopkeeper Huang suddenly understood that these black-clothed men were not servants, so he took a step back in surprise, "Who are you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a big man punched him in the stomach, hitting him in the abdomen like a river and a sea, the pain was unbearable, and he collapsed to the ground with a muffled scream.

Two men dressed in black picked him up and walked into the house, where his wife and two sons were tied to the ground, their mouths gagged with rags, and their elderly parents squatting in the corner of the house, looking terrified.

In the middle of the lobby, the internal guard general Wei Ben had a frosty face, he originally planned to slowly collect evidence by casting a long line to catch a big fish, but the king of Chu only gave him a day and a half, so he had to use this extreme way to go into battle in person.

The two black-clothed men put the Huang shopkeeper in front of Wei Ben, and put it down, the Huang shopkeeper had slowly recovered, he saw his wife, children and parents were tied to the ground, blood suddenly poured into the top of his head, and he yelled, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wei Ben waved his hand coldly, and more than a dozen black-clothed men stepped forward to take his wife, children and parents away, and the shopkeeper Huang struggled desperately, but was held down by two black-clothed men, unable to move, and watched his family being stuffed into a carriage, and the carriage drove out of the house and disappeared without a trace.

"You let go of my parents, let go of my wife, let go of my children!" Shopkeeper Huang was so anxious that he cried.

Wei Ben glanced at him and asked, "Your name is Huang Youde, the big shopkeeper of Yipinju Wine Shop, right?" The family was taken away, and the shopkeeper Huang seemed to have his soul drained, became obedient, lowered his head and said, "Yes!" ”

Wei Ben was very satisfied with his attitude, he had interrogated the son of the shopkeeper Huang, and knew that this person was extremely filial and loved his wife and children very much, this was his weakness, and he was not afraid that he would not be obedient.

"Then I'll get straight to the point! I'm the General of the Internal Guard, my surname is Wei, and my nickname is Wei Shaved Head, I think you should know. ”

The shopkeeper Huang's face turned pale, of course he knew that the big boss of the internal guard was ruthless, he didn't blink when he killed people, and the child didn't dare to cry at night when he heard it, and he was called Wei Shaved by the Taiyuan people.

The shopkeeper Huang trembled, his wife, children and parents fell into his hands, is there still a chance to live?

His legs were weak, he fell to his knees, snot and tears flowed out together, and he kowtowed desperately: "I am willing to die, begging General Wei to spare the lives of my parents, wife and children!" ”

"I can spare their lives, and I can even give you a sum of money to take your family to a foreign place to earn a living, but only if you do things for me honestly, otherwise, your whole family will die."

Shopkeeper Huang raised his head and looked at Wei Ben blankly, "What can I do for the general?" ”

Wei Ben squatted in front of him, staring at his fat face fiercely, and said word by word: "I want to know, how much wine has been brewed by the Wang family, and where is the wine stored?" And where do they make their wine? If there is any concealment, I will bring up the head of your son first. ”

Shopkeeper Huang suddenly realized, he felt a sad cry in his heart, what he was most afraid of finally happened.

"I say, I say it all!"
