Doubts, extremely doubtful, if you lose the lawsuit, you have to take revenge, there is still a way to talk about killing, if you win the lawsuit, there are backers behind you but you want to kill people, this is a little too much to say, let alone how can a rich man in the countryside have the force and courage to commit such a serious crime? Yinzuo didn't believe that things would be so simple, there must be something strange in this, but unfortunately there was no result in asking Chen Yingying repeatedly, which is also normal - the girl in this era has no status in the family, and basically will not participate in family deliberations, and besides, Chen Yingying was lucky to escape her life - hiding in the abandoned well and escaping the search and fire, there is no way to judge what kind of person came to her house to extinguish the mouth, but it is only based on speculation that it is a thief.

Doubts are doubts, Yinzuo can't figure out the truth of the matter for a while, he can only wait, waiting for Liang Size's return, of course, Yinzuo also ordered Lin Jiacheng to collect information about Shandong officialdom as much as possible for inquiry, as for going to the secret visit in person, it is impossible at all, first, there is no time, a large number of officials are waiting for him to summon, and secondly, no matter how much makeup, the accent can't be changed.

Shipping is not only the construction of the wharf, but also related supporting facilities, grain transshipment, personnel arrangements, the setting of public security agencies, the dispatch of sailors, etc., which is very complicated, involving a lot of aspects, Yinzuo has been busy meeting officials at all levels for several days, listening to reports, and is so busy that he didn't have some free time until five days later, and it happened that Liang Size also came with a few subordinates.

"Master, these two are the two generals under the slave, Wang Xiaotian and Zheng Qinghong, both of them are from Zhengjiaji in Shanghe County, according to the master's instructions, the slave asked the two of them to go back to their hometown to inquire about the situation, and they have gained, please listen to the master." As soon as Liang Ize saw Yinzuo enter the room, he immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully reported the situation.

"Xiaguan Wang Xiaotian (Zheng Qinghong) has seen the prince." The two always knelt on their knees and reported to their homes.

"Excuse me, stand up and speak." Yin Zuo raised his hand and said with a smile.

Wang Xiaotian and Zheng Qinghong each got up, and after glancing at each other, Zheng Qinghong first spoke: "Lord Wang, the lower official is a member of the Zheng family, and he is the same clan as the Zheng family who made trouble, and he still knows a little about their family: Zheng Yang, the head of this family, has four sons and three women, and the original family has four walls, and suddenly made a fortune ten years ago, and wantonly bought good land, and in just ten years, he has become a wealthy family in Shanghe County, and his family has more than 1,000 acres of fertile land. This time, because of the plot against the Chen family's land, he deliberately provoked an incident, took the opportunity of the lawsuit, and took the opportunity to annex the Chen family's real estate. ”

Wang Xiaotian then added: "Zheng Qinghui and Zheng Qingliang, the second sons of the four sons of the Zheng family, are not at home all the year round, according to the Zheng family, they are going out to do business, but when Xia Guan was suppressing bandits, he accidentally bumped into his two brothers by Zhang Batian's side, it seems that their status is not low, and they should be the leaders of the bandits, but because there is no evidence, Xia Guan does not dare to determine what the truth is." ”

Oh? Suddenly made a fortune ten years ago? Pirates? Terrace? There must be something strange about this. Yin Zuo paced a few steps in the room noncommittally, and then asked, "What kind of person is Zhang Batian?" ”

Zheng Qinghong bowed down and replied: "Fierce has been extreme, its people do not know the origin, more than ten years ago suddenly rose, annexed more than ten small pirates around it, entrenched in the South Changshan Island for the Kou, plundered the past merchant ships, and also landed and looted from time to time, the sailors entered several times, and could not find their whereabouts every time, all in vain. ”

"Well, how is it armed?" Yinzuo nodded and asked.

"Zhang Batian has more than 1,000 people, more than 100 large and small ships, and the number of artillery on board varies. Wang Xiaotian replied.

"Wako?" As soon as Yinzuo heard this term, his heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to immediately wave his army to kill Nanchangshan Island and clean up those bedbugs, but after thinking about it, Yinzuo was not so impulsive, and snorted coldly: "The Zheng family is a den of account cancellation?" ”

"Lord Wang, this matter is beyond our reach." Zheng and Wang both shook their heads and said they were not aware of the matter. Yinzuo thought for a while and said: "Wait for you to retreat first, this matter must not be mentioned to outsiders, otherwise the king will not be embarrassed, go ahead." ”

After Liang Ize and the three of them retired, Yinzuo looked at Lin Xuanyi and said, "What does Mr. think this matter should be?" ”

"It's hard to say, the sailor has made several attempts to suppress but has returned in vain, there must be something strange here, and the Zheng family is also suspicious of getting rich, but there is no evidence and no conclusions can be drawn." Lin Xuanyi shook his head slightly and said.

Yes, even if you know that there is something strange here, but at the moment there is no evidence, if you shoot indiscriminately, not to mention the grass and snakes, once you let people participate in a book, it is not fun. Yinzuo paced in the room with some annoyance, constantly calculating the gains and losses in his heart.

"Lord Wang, this matter is actually not difficult, and the evidence is easy to handle, but you have to take some risks......" Lin Xuanyi said with a smile.

"Okay, according to what Mr. said, this king will do it immediately." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

On April 15, the 36th year of Kangxi, as soon as the Qingming Festival passed, the sky became hot in a blink of an eye, but Chen Xiaosan's heart was very cold, seeing that his store was about to close down, Chen Xiaosan had no way at all, and he could only blame himself for not having a rich and powerful relative.

Since the Zheng family opened a fabric village on the opposite door, Chen Xiaosan's fabric business has not been able to continue, although the price of his own fabric is cheaper than that of the opposite door, but no one dares to go to his own door to buy things is no way - there are three black-faced men squatting at the door all day long, which customer dares to come to the door? Alas, if it closes, if it drags on any longer, let alone a business, I'm afraid that my life won't be saved. Chen Xiaosan is a person who understands, he dismissed all his guys early, and now he plans to close down after cleaning up for the last time.

"Is the shopkeeper there?" With a voice of voice, a burly man walked into the store.

"In, in, in, the contemptible surname is Chen, who is the shopkeeper of this store, I don't know what Mr. has to say?" Chen Xiaosan looked at the people who came, and his accent was not local, so he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to greet him.

"Ah, you are the shopkeeper, surnamed Wang, Wang Yaowu, speaking of which is also from Shanghe County, but since childhood, he has left home, eaten outside, and is tired, and plans to come back to do some small business. The visitor asked with a smile.

"That's, that's, Mr. Wang intends to take over? The price is easy to say, easy to say. I wonder what Mr. plans to do? As soon as Chen Xiaosan heard that someone wanted to buy a store, he immediately greeted enthusiastically as if he had picked up a life-saving straw.

"Ah, look at the shopkeeper's shop has been some years, it's better to be raw than cooked, and the contemptible people also have some ways to open the fabric business, and it can be opened with a different façade, which is also trouble-free, hehe" Wang Yaowu looked at the furnishings in the store with great satisfaction.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaosan's eyes rolled several times, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, but as soon as he turned his face, he immediately smiled and said: "Cheng, no problem, even the contemptible people in the store have all transferred to Mr., a total of eight hundred taels of silver, is it successful?" ”

"Eight hundred taels?" Wang Yaowu hesitated slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with the price, Chen Xiaosan was in a hurry to get rid of it, so he simply gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. Wang really wants it, we can negotiate the price." ”

"No need, it's just eight hundred taels, bother the shopkeeper Chen to find a middle-aged person, how about the big guy's silver and goods?" Wang Yaowu didn't seem to have any intention of bargaining, and agreed to Chen Xiaosan's proposal very simply.

Chen Xiaosan hurriedly ran out of the store, and after a while, he brought in a person who claimed to be the shopkeeper of the pharmacy next door, signed it, drew it, and collected the silver ticket.

On April 18, the 36th year of Kangxi, the Chenjia Cloth Village, which was closed for business, reopened, but the door plaque was replaced by "Wangjia Cloth Village" Everything else has not changed, and it is still a cloth business, the difference is that a large plaque is hung at the door, and a line of big characters is written on it - the store is newly opened, and all goods are 50% off. The whole county is a sensation - the goods of the Wang family cloth are complete, the cloth and silk are all available, the amount is very sufficient, and the price is even cheaper. For a while, not only the old and young masters of the county town were dispatched, but even the men, women and children from various townships came to rush to buy.

The big guys were happy, but the Zheng family shop was a little unhappy, and they didn't pay much attention to it at first, but they didn't expect the supply of the Wang family shop to be very sufficient, and they were sold for three days in a row, and they didn't run out of stock. What if you're not happy? Find faults, no, the three big men came to the door with a fierce momentum, and they couldn't help but disperse the customers, and they were going to smash the store with their faces sideways.

Someone is going to smash the store, the guys in the store naturally don't do it, no, the two sides fought together, the store suddenly became a mess, this fight was fighting, the county officials appeared in time, unceremoniously brought both sides back to the yamen, of course, the shopkeeper of the Wang family shop and the five guys were all chained, and the three big men were humming a little song and followed aside.

If someone commits a crime, the county magistrate will have to try the case, right? At this time, Liu Dongbiao, the magistrate of Shanghe, was sitting on the top of the lobby, and he had just picked up the shocking wood and planned to give the prisoners in the hall a dismount, a killing stick or something, but he suddenly saw something in his eyes, and the eyeballs immediately couldn't move, and his jaw almost fell to the ground......
