Chapter 90: Abandon the car and protect the handsome
Wu Cheng looked at the officers and soldiers who were waiting for him at the door, and he was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground, unable to say a word.
In the end, he could only get up from the ground and retreat to the prefect's office with his family.
When Zhou Li and the others were captured, they still couldn't figure out how their deal with Gu traitors was so secret, how could they attract officers and soldiers.
Also, why did Wu Cheng suddenly start to take care of this matter?
Today's Zhou Li hadn't thought that the innocent-looking merchant in front of him was the one who planned this secret arrest.
After Li Yin and Xiao Yu'an destroyed the salt production point of the smuggler of salt, the two of them were about to rush to the warehouse where the salt was put with people.
The moment they opened the warehouse, both of them were shocked by the scene in front of them, the huge warehouse was full of private salt, and many of them were printed with official seals.
"Even if they robbed the merchants of the official salt, it would not be possible to have so much." Li Yin looked at the mountain of salt warehouses and couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Rao is a prince from a royal family, and he has never seen this kind of battle, so much salt, so why not let these salt dealers who sell illicit salt make a lot of money?
"It is estimated that most of the official seals on these salt bags are the handwriting of the prefect." Xiao Yu'an looked at the salt and couldn't help but shake his head, the so-called greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, and it is nothing more than that.
"Let someone guard this place first, and then make a decision when the Prime Minister arrives." The two walked out of the warehouse, and after Xiao Yu'an ordered someone to close the warehouse door, he said to Li Yin.
Hearing this, Li Yin nodded.
They also arrested several salt dealer leaders who were in charge of making salt and selling salt, Xiao Yu'an looked at their faces full of unconvinced looks, and remembered the young dead soldiers who were killed by them before, for a moment, his eyes were full of killing intent, but he still held back after all.
Governor Jiang arrived at Gangneung City at dawn, and as soon as he entered Gangneung City, he went straight to the prefect's office.
When Wu Cheng saw Lord Jiang coming, he hurriedly stepped up, "Lord Governor is coming, Wu Cheng is missing his welcome, it's really damned." ”
Now, Wu Cheng has been placed under house arrest in his own mansion, but it is really rare for him to think about stammering with Shangguan when he is at such a time of life and death.
Lord Jiang didn't give Wu Cheng a good look, he glanced at Wu Cheng, and immediately lost his temper at Wu Cheng in the court.
"Okay, you Wucheng, now Jiangling City has become like this, you are hiding it well. This official asked you to suppress the bandits, and if you don't go, you just made up some lies to prevaricate the official, do you really think that this official is so foolish? ”
Seeing Lord Jiang's tantrum, Wu Cheng was instantly frightened and weakened, and knelt down in front of Lord Jiang with a sad face.
"My lord, it is the incompetence of the lower officials that has made these mountain bandits rampant to this point, and the lower officials are willing to accept all punishments."
You say that he is stupid in this Wu Cheng, he also knows that he only talks about mountain bandits, and he never mentions the smugglers of salt.
But if you say he's smart, in that situation last night, he was stunned that he could do a stupid thing to escape, isn't this a handle for others?
"Punishment? You should be punished, and when the official gets the evidence, he will slowly settle accounts with you. Lord Jiang looked at Wu Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and coldly threw out such a sentence.
Then, the governor counted all the officers and soldiers of the prefect's mansion, and all the seized private salt were heavily guarded, while Gu Traitor and others went to the prefect's mansion together.
Zhou Li and the others and another group of salt dealers were all imprisoned, but Wu Cheng was puzzled, he had already let the salt dealers rein in, why was he arrested?
It wasn't until he saw the people who walked into the prefect's mansion that he suddenly realized it after seeing Xiao Yu'an and Gu Wanchao.
It turned out that people had already been eyeing him for a long time.
"Prime Minister, now that the salt sellers in the city have been wiped out, how to deal with this prefect Wucheng?" Lord Jiang welcomed Gu traitorous ministers to the prefect's mansion and discussed how to deal with Wu Cheng in front of Wu Cheng.
"Now it has not been found out that he is involved, so he will be placed under house arrest for the time being, and a letter of resignation will be sent to Kyoto to see how His Majesty decides."
Gu traitor also wanted to deal with Wu Cheng, but now that there is no evidence, he can only let him go for the time being.
"Yes."
Subsequently, Lord Jiang ordered his subordinates to put Wu Cheng and his family under house arrest, and when Wu Cheng left, he was still shouting, "The Prime Minister is clear, and the officials are wronged." ”
Not long after, the news that Gu traitors had destroyed the illegal salt production land in Jiangling City reached the capital, and Li Yu was furious and immediately smashed the tea cup on the table.
"Wu Cheng, this idiot, told him to let him rein in, and he still let the family catch the tail, and you too, sent so many dead soldiers to you, but it was just two little dolls, and even let the family beat you to annihilation, what use does the palace want you?"
Li Yu looked at Wulang and remembered that she was killed by Xiao Yu'an, and she was even more angry.
Now that Wu Cheng has been placed under house arrest in the prefect's mansion, and there are heavy guards outside, she can't send news to Wu Cheng even if she wants to, she is really worried that Wu Cheng will confess herself.
Gorou watched Li Yu lose his temper at himself, he just lowered his head, knowing that he hadn't done a good job in this matter, and he didn't dare to answer a word.
"You, go to that person with the words of this palace and tell him that now that Jiangling City has been wiped out by Gu Fu'an and them, what will you do next."
Li Yu thought for a long time, and then he gave an order to the guard kneeling in front of him.
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly took the order and retreated.
The emperor was very happy when he learned that Gu Traitor had won a complete victory in capturing the salt dealers, and hurriedly drafted a holy decree and sent it to Jiangling City quickly.
Subsequently, according to the emperor's wishes, Gu traitors filled all the seized illicit salt into the treasury, as for Wucheng, the emperor asked him to immediately depose the official once he had evidence of Wucheng's collusion with the smuggling salt dealers, the female dependents were sold, the men were exiled, and all family property was confiscated.
Now waiting to investigate the evidence of Wu Cheng's corruption and bribery, Xiao Yu'an was finally able to recuperate from his injuries, Gu Wanchao was worried about Xiao Yu'an's injuries, and ran to the room from time to time to chat with him.
After Gu Traitor dealt with the matter of private salt, he found Xiao Yu'an and Gu Wanchao to inquire about the situation.
"Those people are going straight to us, and they are all dead soldiers, never dying, if it weren't for Xiao Yu'an's martial arts being good enough, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable." Gu Wanchao concealed from Gu traitors that Xiao Yu'an's people had saved them.
"It seems that it was really a prophecy given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the one in the court really sent someone to intercept and kill." Gu Traitor looked at Xiao Yu'an's injury, and was afraid for a while, if Xiao Yu'an hadn't protected Gu Wanchao, the consequences would be unimaginable.
