Chapter 30: Arrest
On Sunday morning, Inspector Zhang did not come on time.
Master Zhou waited anxiously and hurriedly sent someone to find out the news.
"Oh no, sir, I heard that Inspector Zhang's car had just driven out of the mansion in the morning, and it was bombed on the street. ....I'm just afraid of more than one bad luck! ”
"What?" The old man took the case, "The car was blown up?!" ”
"That's not right! Wrong!! Dad, something is wrong with this. Knowing that he went out to the banquet today, only us and his own subordinates, if no one leaked it, the problem must be his own people. Mu Qing's heart was shocked, and he forced himself to analyze calmly.
"He has just been here for a short time, and his power is not stable, so he is a little in a hurry. Chief Sun has been in business for many years, how can he be tossed under his eyelids, the only thing I am afraid of now is that this matter will implicate us Wande. The old man sat down and said, "After all, we can be regarded as blatantly active, Chief Sun originally had a dislike with us because of Hua'er's affairs, but now I am afraid that he will really get the truth." ”
"Master, what should we do then?" The eldest lady asked eagerly when she heard this.
The old man sighed and shook his head: "Qing'er, who told you the news?"
"So far, Dad, let me tell you, it was the eldest lady of the Qi family who told me, and I ate with her at the restaurant on the top floor of the Yue Palace Hotel that day, and she pointed to the pier of their Qi family and told me."
"Oh. She told you such a confidential thing? The old man thought about it, and had a rough estimate in his heart, but he didn't say it.
"What now?" The eldest lady asked.
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Resign yourself to fate." ”
"Squeak~"
There was a car parked at the door, and Sergeant Wang of the police station got out of the car and said to the small soldiers with him: "This is the Zhou Mansion, don't mess around when you go in, do you hear?" If you get into trouble, don't say that Lao Tzu didn't warn you. ”
"Yes." With a gesture, the policemen ran directly into the mansion of the Zhou Mansion with live ammunition.
"Meet again, Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, two young masters." Captain Wang greeted everyone with a grin.
Where did the eldest wife, Qi Shan and other female dependents go through such a battle, they have already panicked and are confused, the eldest lady silently recited the Buddha's name in her heart, and Qi Shan held her. The women stared at the sergeants in trepidation.
"Can you let Uchiko wait for the female relatives to return to the room, what can we talk about?" Master Zhou said with a smile.
"Yes, please go upstairs first." Sheriff Wang was also polite.
The eldest wife, Qi Shan, Gui Ma, and some little maids were all crowded in the eldest lady's room, she felt sorry for Yuehua's daughter-in-law, and held Qi Shan's hand, perhaps because Yuehua had been absurd for many years, and after marrying a wife, she was faintly grateful to Qi Shan.
"On the order of Chief Sun, take Zhou Muqing, the second young master of the Zhou family, to be investigated." Sergeant Wang changed his tone to a business-like tone.
"Why?" Yuehua asked.
"Did you just hear about the bombing on the street? We were ordered to search Chief Zhang's official residence and found Zhou Muqing's name sticker, which also indicated the time and place, and some witnesses said that the young master had visited Chief Zhang some time ago. Now that the human and material evidence are there, how about it, the young master will come with us on Tuesday. And this is an important case, you see I have come to bring people in person. ”
"Chief Zhang was killed, Chief Sun should first investigate who is the mastermind, who is the culprit, who carried out the operation, how can he be suspected of my Qing'er. I have a 59th birthday today, Qing'er, he just invited Chief Zhang to come to his house for a light meal, how could we have the heart to murder Chief Zhang, wouldn't it be a crime to add to it? The old man argued.
"Master Zhou, what you said, we will naturally investigate next, and now the arrest warrant is written in black and white for Zhou Muqing, and I can't be the master of the rest. Brethren, take away! Sergeant Wang waved his hand again, "Please sign this paperwork, Master Zhou!" ”
When the old man heard this, his body shook for a moment, he just mentioned implication, and he didn't want it to really happen. As the head of the family, he stabilized his heart and said: "Sheriff Wang, I also know about him, how about I go with you to be investigated, please let me go to Qing'er with you?" ”
"Don't." Sergeant Wang refused, "It's clearly written that there is only Zhou Muqing, what's the matter if I brought someone else!" ”
Master Zhou instantly understood, there was something strange about this matter, and the initiator was the Qi family? Or is someone taking advantage of it? He's going to have to do his best to investigate.
These days, he understands that Qing'er has made countless efforts to get Wande out of Zhihe's control, but there always seems to be a hand behind him.
"Dad, I'll go with them, you're too old to stand it."
The old man didn't say anything more, and after signing the paperwork, he instructed the housekeeper to take the current ocean and stuff it into Sheriff Wang's hand: "Please also take care of Zhou Muqing, please drink tea for the brothers." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." When Sergeant Wang saw that Qian was open-minded, he immediately made way for Young Master Tuesday to let him go out by himself.
Phoenix hid by the kitchen door and saw Mu Qing being taken away by Sheriff Wang, it was unbelievable, she covered her mouth forcibly to prevent herself from making a sound, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
Chief Sun was drinking tea leisurely in the mansion with his legs crossed, listening to the reports of his subordinates, and finally arrested the second child of the Zhou family into the cell.
Thinking that his nephew came back to cry and ask for help, saying that the eldest young master of the Zhou family deceived people too much, and snatched away the beauty he fancied, although he later used his power to make the Zhou family give up, but the only one who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head took over Liangzi.
He was already very unhappy because of Master Qi's secret activities before, but Master Qi is a smart person, and there will still be no less filial piety, and he still comes to report what should be reported, so he just turns a blind eye.
After Mu Qing was taken away, the old man locked himself in the study for a long time, thinking about the cause and effect of this incident.
Could Qi Mei have been deliberately arranged by the Qi family? Why did the Qi family harm themselves? Who leaked the news? Or is someone deliberately counting it out? Clueless.
He only knows one thing, Chief Sun must be the one who benefits from this matter, he has been doing business for so many years, he has never cowered from power, he dare not approach or alienate, especially in such a chaotic era when the city is changing and the banner of the king is changing, who can sit on the battlefield for a long time?
This time it was really reckless, fortunately, there were no other things that were too secret, but Mu Qing was in the police station, everything was up to him, and he couldn't stand it, so he couldn't stand it, and I was afraid that he would have to take the initiative to serve Chief Sun for him.
Mu Qing's arrest hit the old man very hard, and he had to make temporary arrangements, in addition to reappointing Zhou Yuehua to take charge of the silver building, and more importantly, about Zhou Muqing's news, no one in the family was allowed to leak a word.
The eldest lady was still a little scared when she remembered the scene when Mu Qing was taken away. It turned out that even if he was in the Zhou family, even if he was clothed and fed, he was just cooking oil and flowers, and he was still broken when he stepped on a wrong step. She warned Yuehua, who was back in charge of the silver building, to take Mu Qing as a lesson and not to make your own decisions about everything.
After Qi Shan got married, she was deeply influenced by the eldest wife, and also believed in Buddhism and worshiped God, and when she heard that her father had reappointed her husband as the manager of the silver building, she couldn't help but go to the small Buddhist hall at home alone to pray.
She kowtowed deeply, folded her hands and said: "May the Buddha bless my husband with smooth work, bless the second uncle from prison as soon as possible, and bless the Zhou family with bad luck." ”
The eldest lady walked to the door of the Buddha hall and couldn't help but sigh when she heard Qi Shan's prayer. Having such a kind and beautiful daughter-in-law is a blessing that Hua'er, a kid, cultivated in his last life.
The old man took the car and went straight to Wande Commercial Bank and notified the accounting office to prepare a large number of silver tickets. After the preparations were completed, he personally went to Chief Sun's mansion to visit and find out.
"Let's just say I'm busy, don't see you." Chief Sun took the old man's name sticker, fiddled with it repeatedly between his fingers, and said to the adjutant.
He knew it in his heart, and he also wanted to try how powerful the Zhou family was, and let them hang them for a few days before saying that if they completely surrendered this time, he could still give them the glory they had before; If the Zhou family is a hard bone, this time Mu Qing's arrest will let them know that they are a little powerful, and they can easily move their fingers to make them irreversible.
The adjutant replied to the old man about Chief Sun's attitude.
"Please say good things to Chief Sun again, just say that my Zhou Shixiong's family education is not strict, and I hope that Chief Sun will raise his noble hand if he does the wrong thing Zhou Muqing." Old Man Zhou gave the adjutant a handful of silver in a low voice.
"Okay, you wait here." The adjutant looked around and held Yinyang in his arms.
The adjutant brought the words and described them vividly.
"Oh, what did he say?" Chief Sun pondered, "Tell Zhou Shixiong that I am indeed very busy today, and I will come to visit in three days." ”
With such information, Master Zhou was a lot relieved, he was mentally prepared, no matter what kind of request the other party made this time, he would also rescue Mu Qing.
Zhou Yuehua got off the station at the gate of Wande Silver Building. Looking at the four big characters on the signboard of Wande Yinlou again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart.
He walked slowly into the Wande Silver Building, which was very different from when he was there, and the things Mu Qing had changed were a bit of an eyesore for him to look at.
Shopkeeper Wang received a call from Master Zhou and had already prepared the account book and key.
Zhou Yuehua took the things coldly and said to Shopkeeper Wang: "Mr. Wang, you know that my brother and I have different personalities and different ways of doing things, you have to adapt to my methods as soon as possible, it's best not to complain, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can explain it to your father." ”
Shopkeeper Wang knew that the words were for himself, so that the last time Mu Qing was in charge of the Silver Building, he praised Zhou Muqing. His mind sank, what kind of character is Yuehua, how can he not understand after working with him for so long?
Yuehua followed the old man's example, and he asked the shopkeeper Wang to notify everyone in the silver building to hold a meeting. The shopkeeper looked at him and shook his head secretly, but he still did as he wanted.
The conference room on the second floor of Wande Silver Building, which had been silent for a long time, was lively again.
Looking at the familiar faces sitting in a circle, he couldn't hide his triumphant announcement: "I summoned you to a meeting today because Wande Yinlou is now under the full management of me, Zhou Yuehua. ”
Everyone was shocked, and everyone talked about it. Yuehua raised her hand to stop: "You don't have to discuss, my second brother has another place to go, you just listen to me, isn't it, shopkeeper Wang?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang nodded yes.
"That's good. The first thing, the king's shopkeeper, you ordered someone to take down the phoenix peony. ”
"Why?" Master Guo is very angry, in the end, it is his own hard work.
"This thing has brought humiliation to our Zhou family, why is it the treasure of the town store?" Yuehua looked at Feng Wearing Peony and was upset, "Withdraw." ”
"Yes."
Yuehua then proposed to cancel the custom jewelry business, which was like a drop of water spilled in a boiling oil pot, and everyone resisted his decision like a pot.
Assistant Li Yi persuaded: "Young Master, custom-made jewelry is the bulk of our Wande Silver Building's income, and canceling this business will be a big loss to us, so you should reconsider." ”
Yuehua groaned, it really shouldn't be rushed, so she didn't force it anymore.
After the meeting ended, he played with the removed phoenix wearing peony, and the gold jewelry was still shining in his hand: "Zhou Muqing, I want to see how you turn over this time?" ”
Mu Qing didn't suffer in prison, first, his father secretly gave money to the police, and second, Chief Sun didn't show him how to deal with him for a long time, and others didn't dare to slack off. Mu Qing felt very frustrated, or he was too composed, so he easily made a judgment, harming his father and Wande, in order to save himself, his father didn't know what hole cards to negotiate with Chief Sun.
