"Confidential?"

Zhao Mengqi is very strange, a landlord with no official position and no position, what bullshit secrets can be.

Liu Xiuren chuckled in his heart, and muttered, this dog surnamed Sun shouldn't plan to betray the Liu family, right?

Folks, maybe he really knows something, but if he is too busy to stop it, won't he confess himself? jj.br>

Gao Jia saw that Zhao Mengqi was curious, and his attitude was not so tough, thinking that the Sun family had indeed given a lot of support since he arrived, so he tried to help him say a few good words.

"Your Royal Highness, the reputation of the Sun family in the township is actually quite good, and the tax payment over the years has been quite positive, and there have been officials in previous generations, but they are used to the only son, and Sun Hengjun is still considered an accomplice, and the grace sentence is not too big, and it will take several months to declare the imperial court at this ordinary time, so it is not too late for you to listen to what he says before making a decision."

Zhao Mengqi took a deep look at Gao Jia, this dog official is quite good at sewing needles, and he sold his favor when he seized the opportunity.

"Alright then, come with me to the back hall......

After more than a quarter of an hour, several people returned to the court, Zhao Mengqi's expression was a little strange, and Sun Deliang's face could not hide his joy.

Later, Zhao Mengqi confessed to Gao Jia, "Sun Junjun postponed the execution for one month and let his wife and concubine serve in prison......

Saying this, Zhao Mengqi himself also felt awkward, how could he be imprisoned like this?

At this time, Gao Jia's judgment was also written, and after being stamped with the seal of King Yan, he kept it in the file and reported it, and then ordered the officials to put heavy shackles on Xu Tianyi and the five people, and put them in the cage in front of the yamen to show the public.

Sun Junjun temporarily saved his younger brother and was sent directly to the county prison, Xu San and other servants were accomplices, beaten with twenty rods, and punished with hard labor for three years.

The relevant responsible persons of Wu Lou, the steward of Le Ying Qin, the county Yakong Zhulu and others, were also punished accordingly.

Zheng regrets that these victimized female actors, Zhao Mengqi is in charge, lifts their music status, and resettles down as good citizens, Wanwan is worried that they will have no livelihood in the future, so she plans to stay by her side first, and then resettle slowly.

Liu Xiuren has been silent behind him, although Zhao Mengqi did not show anything unusual to him after returning from the back hall, but he was always apprehensive in his heart, and the sense of uneasiness lingered.

After all the irrelevant personnel left, Zhao Mengqi and Gao Jia were left in the court, as well as Gu Xixi on the ground.

Wanwan walked over slowly and gently, wanting to uncover the white cloth, but heard Zhao Mengqi's dissuasion, "Ruochu, don't look at it......

"If it doesn't matter, I can bear it."

Wanwan shook her head, lifted the corner of the white cloth, looked at Gu Xixi's exposed face, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

After choking for a long time, Wanwan said, "Sister Gu has no relatives anymore, I have to pack up her body for her and handle the funeral,......

At this time, Gao Jia immediately said attentively, "Jiang Niangzi, Xia Guan has already asked people to buy the best coffins and related supplies, there are still a few courtyards behind the county hall, and the Qingjian Hall is very suitable for use as a mourning hall, in addition, His Royal Highness must not have a place to live, it can be placed in the ya, your guards can live in the qin hall, there is also Huancui Hall behind the qin hall, Tusi Zhai, Cheng Zhai, although it is simple, but it is elegant and clean, and the house should be enough, Your Highness may be able to settle for it, after all, the county government is still safer than the outside."

Zhao Mengqi had nothing to do, and asked casually, "It's all for us to live, so where do you live by yourself?"

"Back to Your Highness, Weichen moved to the Mengshulou." Gao Jia replied with a smile.

This book building is the gatehouse of the county government, and to live there is equivalent to watching the gate.

Zhao Mengqi thought about it, and there were more than a hundred people around him, and it was indeed a little troublesome to find a place to live, so he nodded, "Then thank you Gao Xianzun for your kindness."

Gao Jia happily found someone to clean up the house, Wanwan put away her grief and began to be busy with Gu Xixi's aftermath, although Zheng Xi and the four of them still had injuries on their bodies, they also insisted on helping, Qian Duo, Zhao Yun, Zhao Hui, and the sympathy of the three overcame the fear of the corpse, and they also followed.

Zhao Mengqi and the others also left the court and came to the back hall.

After sitting down, Geng Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, the person surnamed Sun shouldn't lie to us, right?"

"He is not so bold, nor is he so stupid, he dares to deceive His Highness, it is the birthday star who hanged him, and he is afraid of a long ......life," Qian Xiaopang said.

Geng Zhi still couldn't believe it, "That was more than a hundred years ago, it sounds outrageous, if there were, it would have been fished out a long time ago."

"What are you two playing dumb riddles?" Wu Qiong was confused, because when Sun Deliang reported the secret, he was still guarding a few little ladies in the court.

Zhao Mengqi knocked on the armrest of the chair and said slowly, "This thing is eighty percent true, otherwise Sun Deliang would not dare to venture out and say it, I see, he should have been fighting the idea of this shipwreck before, maybe, this Xu Tianyi came to Wujiang at his behest, he may want to cause a conflict between the Xu family and the Liu family, and then profit from it and take down the cofferdam near the shipwreck point."

It turned out that the secrets that Sun Deliang said had nothing to do with the Liu family, and they had something to do with it.

Two months ago, the Sun family's mansion was robbed, and some belongings were lost, and after some searching, a few gold collars were found in a newly arrived Zhuang Ding's residence.

Zhuang Ding and the stolen goods were brought to Sun Deliang, but Sun Deliang found that the gold collar, which weighed more than 30 taels, was not his own.

Although it is not the lost property of his own family, but a mud leg, or a poor ghost whose home was destroyed by the flood, where did he get the gold?

Under repeated interrogation, Na Zhuang Ding confessed that the Jin Wushu plundered the south of the Yangtze River and loaded all the looted property on ships to transport them back to the north, but was blocked by Chen Sigong in Taihu Lake, and many ships were attacked by fire at that time.

The ancestor of Na Zhuang Ding was captured as a slave by the Jin people, and in the chaos he found that the cracked boxes on the ship were full of gold and silver.

Later, the ship sank, and Zhuang Ding's ancestors escaped by water, and this incident was passed down from generation to generation in Zhuang Ding's family.

Originally, it was just a story, thinking that the imperial court would definitely pick up the sunken ship, and never thought of going over to see it, and the Zhuang family did not have those ambitions, and they did not dare to dream of making a fortune, because even if they got gold and silver, they would not be able to spend it, but would invite trouble.

It wasn't until this Zhuang Ding lost everything in the flood that he remembered it, and with the idea of trying his luck, he went to the place where the ancestor said the shipwreck, and although the boat was almost rotten, the chests containing gold and silver were still there, and Zhuang Ding took a few gold collars.

It's a pity that he found that this thing was in his hands, no different from a stone, not only could he not take it out to buy things, but he even had to prevent others from knowing, and when he had no food and clothing, he threw himself into the Sun family as a villager.

The site of the wreck is not far north of Dongting East Island, where a polder was later enclosed and fell into the hands of the Liu family.

If Sun Deliang wants to salvage, he will inevitably be known by the Liu family, and with the power of the Liu family, then he will eventually make wedding dresses for others, so he did not act rashly.

Zhao Mengqi estimated that the ship would be four or five hundred materials at most, and even if it was fully loaded with gold and silver, it might not exceed 200,000 catties, and it would be worth about one or two million yuan.

Speaking of which, it is similar to the money that the Sun family is willing to contribute, but there are too many flowers in his family's 500,000 guanli, what kind of calligraphy and painting antiques, jewelry and jade, real estate deeds and the like, this shipwreck is a real precious metal.

In Zhao Mengqi's plan, when the time is right, it is necessary to carry out a reform of the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, and this precious metal is naturally the basis of the reform, of course, the more the better.

In addition, Sun Deliang also mentioned that the cofferdam was actually the Liu family, but the name of someone else was written on the title deed, and there was also a hint that the Liu family used similar means to control and encroach on countless fertile land.

While they were chatting about this, an old man came to the outside of the county office with his entourage.

At this time, it was still raining heavily, but there were still many people gathered at the entrance of the county government, pointing at the row of cages by the eight-character wall.

In order to prevent these prisoners from dying early, the cage was placed in the verandah, and there was not much rain, but the five people in the cage were naked, still frozen like dogs, and shrunk into a pile with shackles.

Looking at this scene, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself, "This kid has changed,

But this is too rough...... Hey, forget it, this time I came to him to be resolute......

The old man walked up the stone steps and came to the gate, where he was stopped by the officials, "His Royal Highness King Yan is stationed here, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

"Old man Wu Qian, please see His Highness, please report." As he spoke, the old man took out the name card and handed it over.

"Wu Qian?" The official was a little puzzled, and looked down at the famous post, there were only five simple words, Chongguo Gong Wu Qian.

The official suddenly panicked, "The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive Wu Xiang."

Wu Qian didn't care, and waved his hand, "Go and report it quickly."

The official carried the name card in his arms and ran quickly into the county office.

Not long after, Zhao Mengqi hurried over, and when he came to Wu Qian, he preemptively saluted, "Meng Qi has seen Wu Gong."

Wu Qian dodged sideways, and then returned the salute, "Your Highness is the king, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister must not be wasted, the old minister Wu Qian pays a visit to His Highness."

Zhao Mengqi stopped worrying about etiquette when he was done, and stepped forward to support Wu Qian, "Let's go in and talk."

"Your Highness is very loving, and the old minister understands it, but the old minister can still go by himself, Your Highness, please first." Wu Qianwan declined to help.

This old man is really as stubborn as the legend.

Zhao Mengqi was not reluctant, so he walked in front and led Wu into the back hall.

Seeing that after Wu Qian took off his coat, there were still many wet places on his clothes, Zhao Mengqi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a ginger soup brazier.

Wu Qian didn't care, "It's okay, I'll do it soon."

"You are a great Song Zhushi, don't dare to be careless about this physical matter, if something goes wrong, Meng Qi is not a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty."

The reason why Zhao Mengqi respects the old man Wu so much is because it was Wu Qian's two letters that year, suggesting that the prince be carefully selected among the royal family, so that he was able to become the prince, and the second is that Wu Qian was a famous minister, diligent and noble, and made many contributions to the Great Song Dynasty.

Four years ago, after Zheng Qingzhi died, Zhao Yun worshiped Uncle Xie Fang as the left minister, and Wu Qian as the right minister, but Zhao Yun played a balance in order to prevent the appearance of power, and did not clarify the rights and responsibilities of the two.

But there can only be one boss in the power field, so Xie and Wu began to have contradictions, and the court also showed signs of splitting up friends and planting the party, and there was a tendency to split.

In the first year of Baoyou, that is, two years ago, there was a war of speech and officials, mutual impeachment, and finally Wu Qian was defeated and went to the wilderness.

After Wu Qian finished drinking the ginger soup, Zhao Mengqi asked, "Gong Wu, shouldn't you be recuperating in Xiangshan?"

Wu Qian waved his hand, "Your Highness, the greetings will be said later, and the old minister asks His Highness to give an order immediately to make Pingjiang Mansion prepare for flood control!"
