Liang Rang's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at the few shopkeepers who were kneeling under the hall in a daze, but he didn't mean to be half happy. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info watched Chu Nan and the three of them come in, waved his hand and said, "At this time, you don't have to be polite, just sit down." ”

Chu Nan casually found a seat and sat down, looking at a few people who were about to completely break the calm situation in Jiangnan, maybe because of the arrival of a few people today, countless people would be swallowed by the undercurrent, and he naturally couldn't be alone.

Liang Rang said expressionlessly: "A few shopkeepers, don't kneel anymore, the people who should come are here, you should also say it." ”

I don't know if it's Chu Nan's illusion, Chu Nan felt that several shopkeepers of Hebisheng glanced at him vaguely, as if they were all relieved.

The eldest of those people stood up tremblingly, coughed a few times, and said, "Your Excellency, Wei Si, the grass people, have come to see your Lord Qincha, and together with a few companions, you will report the great crimes of fornicating with the enemy country and selling tribute privately. ”

Liang Rang's face was expressionless, and the famous Wei Siye was extremely prestigious in the Mobei area, and he was one of the several old shopkeepers of the Hebisheng Town store, and slowly asked: "This matter is very important, do you have any evidence?"

Wei Si shuddered and took out a few account books from his arms, pinched them in his hands and said: "The grass people have been in Hebisheng for fifty years, according to the will of the late old shopkeeper, the grass people have the right to look through any accounts of Hebisheng, but they never thought that such a dirty thing would be turned out, so that the reputation of Hebisheng for a hundred years would be ruined!"

Liang Rang said with a cold face: "In this case, why didn't you cover it up, but instead came to report and expose it, didn't you receive instructions from someone with a heart?"

Wei Si's face was flushed, trembling and speechless, and a middle-aged fat man behind him hurriedly supported him, and said angrily: "Dad, my son has already said it, this matter can't be publicized, you can rest assured that you can support the elderly, why bother with this heart, and why do you have to do such an insult?"

Wei Si took a few breaths, pushed the middle-aged man away, and said slowly: "The old shopkeeper regards me as his own, and once said to the grass people that Hebisheng should not be for fame and fortune, but for the benefit of the people, but now Hebisheng has someone who fornicates with the enemy, and the old shopkeeper's hundred years of hard work have been ruined, and the reputation of his life will be tarnished by the unfilial children and grandchildren of future generations, and the grass people cannot be blind to death although they die." ”

Wang Buregret saw Chu Nan's face showing dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice: "Today's incident is the same as the case reported by several maritime merchants against Zhang Mingjing, the last time the Metropolitan Procuratorate was caught off guard, which made His Majesty angry, and this time it is like this, I can't help Lord Liang not doubt it." ”

Chu Nan nodded, glanced at Wei Si, silently thinking about something, and was a little distracted for a while.

Liang Rang's face remained unchanged, and he motioned to Wang Buregret to hand over the account books in Wei Si's hand, but Wei Si shook his head firmly and said: "These account books are not only related to the net worth and lives of the grass people, but also involve countless human lives, and the grass people will hand it over to the new people of the grass people." ”

Liang Rang was furious and reprimanded: "How can this be reasonable, as the imperial history of the right capital, this official has the right to arbitrarily decide this case, who else can it be handed over if it is not handed over to this official?"

Wei Si had also seen the world, and without the slightest fear, he walked directly in front of Chu Nan, handed the account book to Chu Nan, and said, "The grass people have handed over the surnames of these countless people to Lord Chu." ”

Chu Nan's face stiffened, hesitated for a moment, took the few account books under the strange gaze of others, and pinched them in his hand and was stunned.

Liang Rang's brows furrowed, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "I don't know why you trust Commander Chu so much, isn't it enough for you to rest assured?"

When Wei Si saw Chu Nan take it, he let out a long breath and said calmly: "It is true that the lord is high and powerful, but among the few people here, the grass people are only relieved of Lord Chu. ”

Chu Nan looked at Wang Defu's face and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Shopkeeper Wei for a long time, I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

Wei Si laughed a few times and sighed: "It's been so many years in a blink of an eye, and the old man didn't expect to see Lord Chu here." Lord Chu's demeanor is still the same, but unfortunately the old man is about to enter the ground. ”

Liang Rang and the others were a little surprised to hear that Chu Nan actually had an old relationship with Wei Si, but their faces looked much better, and Wang Buregret smiled: "I didn't expect the two of you to have a friendship, this is an unexpected joy." ”

Chu Nan explained with a smile: "That was a few years ago, I was wandering in the grassland, and I happened to meet Wei Siye's caravan, and I asked him to take refuge, so I was lucky to survive." ”

Wei Si shook his head and said, "Why should Lord Chu be modest, if you hadn't scared back those horse thieves, whether the old man could or come back has to say another matter." ”

Wang Buregret couldn't hear that the two were modest, thinking that Chu Nan, who was alone, happened to meet the caravan led by Wei Si, and then accompanied by the repulsion of horse thieves, as for the grace of saving lives, most of them wore high hats on each other, at least the caravan of Hebisheng was not something that ordinary horse thieves could eat.

Wei Si said to Liang Rang and the others: "It's not that I can't believe you, it's just that the grass people think that since Lord Chu can face the thieves with one person and one horse without changing his face, he will not be afraid of offending others, and handing it over to Lord Chu is no different from handing it over to Lord Liang." ”

Although Liang Rang saw that Wei Si was talking nonsense with his eyes open, his face softened a lot, and he took out the quality of a high-ranking official and said: "Actually, according to the rules, this account book should have been handed over to the commander of Chu, and now it is good to do this, and it will save the official trouble." Now tell me about the sin of the Harmony and Ascension. ”

Wei Si coughed a few times and said slowly: "The grass people have been in Hebisheng for fifty years, and they have been running around Mobei all their lives, and my son is also in charge of trade with Yingzhou. It's just that two years ago, the grass people had a serious illness, and gradually they didn't ask about the business, and some time ago, the grass people asked about the business, and found that something was wrong, and they turned over the accounts in suspicion and found these things. ”

Liang Rang asked: "You also know that the stakes are very high, don't say that there is no evidence, just say that you can deny it if you take out this account book and will rise." ”

Wei Si shook his head and pointed to a few people behind him: "These people are all brought out by grass people, and they are all the people who handle these things, if they testify, this case will be an iron case." ”

As he spoke, Wei Siyi pointed out one by one: "This is the eldest son of the grass people, responsible for the direction of Yingzhou, and many tributes and ordnance have been transported to Mobei or overseas through his hands........................;

Chu Nan walked out with the ledger in his arms, full of exhaustion, with Wei Si and those witnesses there, there was not much suspense in this case, but the group came to review Zhang Mingjing's case, and the case was not much bigger, so it suddenly broke another big case inexplicably, but the process was smooth and uncomfortable.

Wang Defu reminded: "The stakes are very high, and we must protect the safety of these people, even if Zhang Mingjing's case is not resolved, if there is a case of Hebisheng, he can also return to Beijing to deal with it." ”

Chu Nan nodded, touched the account in his arms, and felt like he was in a trance, things were originally a mess, but suddenly they became a lot clearer, but when he thought of the annoying Zhang Mingjing, he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he always felt like he was being peeped at and calculated.

Chu Nan remembered something, and ordered Li Yong to go down to strengthen his vigilance, and then instructed Tang to go down and prepare, and go to the government office to bring Yang Lin back in a while, if Yang Lin's words before were all jokes, now someone may really come to rob Yang Lin, and at a critical time, it is better to put Yang Lin by his side than at ease.

Wang Buregret hesitated for a long time, but still stepped forward and said to Chu Nan: "Lord Chu, in order to prevent the people and dogs from jumping off the wall and wantonly retaliating, let's call all the witnesses and put them by our side." ”

Chu Nan said strangely: "What do you mean, Lord Wang? Aren't all the witnesses here?"

Wang Buregret twisted and said: "Lord Chu has forgotten one, and her safety should also be guaranteed." Looking at Chu Nan's blank face, Suo surnamed said directly: "My lord, Qin Feng can also be regarded as a witness in this case, is your lord ..................?"

Chu Nan suddenly realized, and said with a teasing smile: "Don't worry, I am so attached to Lord Wang, I still have to help with this little favor." ”

Wang Buregret frowned and said, "Isn't Lord Chu worried that when Qin Feng comes, there will be no excuse to sleep in the same room with Miss Yang Er?"

Chu Nan snorted, almost fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Chop, come with me, go get that Qin Feng, just warm my bed at night!"
