At this time, within the county office, a large number of people came to bring back all the women on the dock, including all kinds of private salt and iron tools.

These things have to be registered, and the information of these girls has to be checked and their families can pick them up.

As for the Blue Dragon Gang, a large part of the gang was suddenly reduced, and they were all imprisoned, awaiting interrogation and investigation.

Several gang leaders also have to stay obediently in Sanyang County, and once they find out that they are not in the city, they will be arrested directly.

At this time, Qi Zixiao looked at the head of the Zhou family, from the beginning, the other party didn't say a word, and seemed to know that no matter how he justified it, it would end the same.

Qi Zixiao didn't bother to ask, so he directly asked people to take him away and return to the county office, and there were ways to torture him.

Zhou family

At this time, the news came back, and the whole family panicked.

In the inner hall, Zhou Yunlong looked at the clan elders sitting in front of him, with a touch of tiredness in his eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what should we do next, the transaction is found out, and our Zhou family will not escape the involvement."

Hearing the words of the head of the house, a group of people are you look at me, I look at you, and they don't know what to say.

"Head of the family, why don't we put the matter on Manager Zhou......"

A clan elder spoke.

When the others heard this, they all nodded, just a housekeeper, and if it was gone, it would be gone.

Hearing this, Zhou Yunlong sneered, "The Qinglong Gang has lost a deputy gang leader before they reluctantly took themselves out, the protagonist of this matter is us, you want to take a housekeeper to fool the government, I really think it's all fools!" ”

"Believe it or not, if we dare to push Steward Zhou out, the government will dare to bring someone to raid the house!"

You can fool the government, but only if you respect everyone's intelligence.

"We can go to the state capital to find a relationship, and our Zhou family is not unpopular in the state capital!"

Another clan elder spoke.

"Looking for someone? The evidence is conclusive, who dares to help us speak, this pass, whoever opens up is unlucky. ”

Zhou Yunlong opened his mouth indifferently.

They have a relationship with the Zhou family, but the premise is that you can't be too big, if it's just a matter of killing people and setting fires, the people behind them can help press it down.

However, this is smuggling, human trafficking, any one of them is a felony, and no one dares to speak for them.

"In my opinion, the government should not think of uprooting our Zhou family at one time, the impact is too great, as long as we are ruthless, the Zhou family will not be able to do it."

At this time, a clan elder spoke in a deep voice.

Zhou Yunlong looked at the other party and nodded, "What Elder Yun said is right, after all, our Zhou family has been operating in Sanyang County for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for this thing to defeat us." ”

"However, the government is obviously taking advantage of our Zhou family, and it is unrealistic to want a safe and sound past."

"Song Qing has already given us a demonstration, we just need to follow what he did."

"What does the head of the house mean, who is being pushed out?"

A clan elder asked.

They are not stupid, in this case, if no one in the Zhou family comes out to take responsibility, it is the entire family that is unlucky.

Moreover, the person in charge must also have a high status, otherwise, if a small person is casually pushed out, the government will definitely not give up.

"I can't decide, I can only rely on fate."

Zhou Yunlong opened his mouth in a low voice, and took out a lottery holder from the side, "There are long and short lots, you can draw them at will, draw the shortest three, and go to the county government to confess." ”

Hearing this, all the clan elders were silent, they thought that one person was enough, but they didn't expect Zhou Yunlong to push out three people.

"Elders, I know that you have made great contributions to the Zhou family, but this matter is different from the past, our Zhou family has a big business, if we only push out one person, it is estimated that no one will believe it, how can one person control such a big business, three people, is already the least I counted......"

Zhou Yunlong said.

The three clan elders can barely make people believe that they are covering the sky with one hand and doing this kind of thing without hiding from the Zhou family.

A group of people fell silent, and then stepped forward in turn and began to draw lots.

Soon, a miserable smile appeared on the faces of the three clan elders holding the short lots.

"Third uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, Zhou family, please."

Zhou Yunlong got up and saluted them respectfully.

"That's it, that's it, I've lived for so long, and I've lived enough, this old bone should also help the Zhou family for the last time."

A clan elder smiled bitterly.

"It's just that after we leave, I hope the head of the family can treat us well."

"Please also rest assured that the three uncles are the great heroes of the Zhou family, and I, Zhou Yunlong, swear in the name of the head of the Zhou family that as long as I am in the same vein as long as I am in one day, the Zhou family will never treat the three uncles badly!"

Zhou Yunlong spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the three old men all nodded, got up tremblingly, and walked outside, "Okay, let's go to the yamen to confess, and the aftermath will be handed over to you." ”

They can't just admit their guilt, the Zhou family still needs to clean up the aftermath and completely remove themselves.

"That guy Ma Wu knows too much, he can't stay, he needs to find someone to solve it, otherwise, the three uncles will be sacrificed in vain......"

Zhou Yunlong sat on the main seat and began to think about the aftermath.

These businesses are extremely secret, and few people in the Zhou family know about them, so he needs to find a way to kill the people involved.

"We can't do it ourselves, let's let the people in the dark do it, spend some money, it's safer."

Zhou Yunlong muttered to himself.

The number of masters of the Zhou family is limited, and he doesn't want to lose.

Thinking of this, he arranged for a henchman to come to a dilapidated house with 1,500 taels of silver, and there was a stone in the house.

Soon, a pair of hands appeared and took the things under the stones.

In the dimly lit room, an indifferent voice came, "Ma Wu, a third-grade martial artist, good at the art of ecstasy......"

……

In the county office, Qi Zixiao returned with a group of young girls, and the county guards came to inquire in person.

When he learned about the wharf, he was furious and was about to hold the Zhou family accountable.

At this time, someone came to report, and the three elders of the Zhou family came to confess.

They looked at each other, a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Above the lobby, Qi Zixiao looked at the three elderly elders of the Zhou family, and talked about his sins with tears in his eyes, and directly took over all the responsibility for the Zhou family's dirty business.

"County guard, we know that we are guilty, and we have disgraced the Zhou family by doing this kind of thing, but the others are completely unaware, this matter was done by the three of us, and we are willing to subdue the law."

Hearing this, the county guard's face was gloomy.

He naturally didn't believe a word about this, but he also knew what the Zhou family meant, I have already introduced the three clan elders, and this matter should end here.

Otherwise, once they are put together, the Zhou family may be finished, but it is impossible to drag him down before he dies.

However, this matter cannot be let go so easily.

He looked at the three of them and said lightly, "Since you have confessed, the official of the Zhou family will not be held accountable, but in view of the guilt of your Zhou family, this official will fine your Zhou family with 30,000 taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, my Zhou family, I am willing to pay silver!"

Although the three of them were dripping blood in their hearts, they did not hesitate at all and made a decision on behalf of the Zhou family.

30,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of the entire Zhou family for a year!

This is a lot of hemorrhage, and now that the Zhou family's dirty business has been arrested, the Zhou family will not have a good time in the future.

Soon, a servant stepped forward and put the three people in prison, as the main culprits, these three people were basically finished, and no one could save them.

The county guard looked at Qi Zixiao and said lightly, "Zixiao, you go to Zhou's house and collect the fine." ”

Qi Zixiao nodded, and rushed towards the Zhou family with his subordinates.

At this time, in the Zhou family, Zhou Yunlong and others had already learned the news, and they had prepared 30,000 taels of silver early, and the silver tickets were all thick stacks.

"Qi Catch, I don't know anyone, I didn't find that the three clan elders did such a heartbreaking thing, this is my dereliction of duty as the head of the Zhou family, for those girls who were abducted and trafficked, my Zhou family is willing to compensate with all their might, each compensating one hundred taels of silver."

Zhou Yunlong said with a sad face.

Looking at the other party's hypocritical expression, Qi Zixiao felt like he was facing a poisonous snake, his eyes flashed, his head leaned forward, and he whispered in the other party's ear, "Master Zhou, this is the end of provoking me, I am a person who holds a grudge, and you Zhou family are welcome to continue to make trouble for me......"

After speaking, he took the silver ticket in the other party's hand, more than 30,000 taels, and basically hollowed out the Zhou family.

Looking at Qi Zixiao's back, Zhou Yunlong's eyes gradually became cold, his palms were clenched tightly, and his joints turned white.

"Qi Zixiao!"

He spoke in a low tone.

Back at the county office, Qi Zixiao handed over the 30,000 taels of silver tickets to the county guard, and the county guard asked people to exchange them for silver and enter the inner treasury.

With this money, you can do more.

Water conservancy, transportation, people's livelihood, all of them need money.

This is considered to rob the rich and help the poor.

Qi Zixiao took the remaining silver ticket and came to another courtyard, this courtyard was full of those young girls, crying and crying one by one.

At this time, as soon as he came in, he saw a servant respectfully stepping forward, holding a booklet in his hand, "Qi Zhutou, the information of these women has been registered." ”

Qi Zixiao looked at it casually, many of these women were from the villages below, and if they disappeared, they would disappear, and basically they would not make trouble in the county town.

He looked at the women and said lightly, "Don't worry, I have informed your family now, and soon, they will come to pick you up." ”

"By the way, it's your compensation."

As he spoke, he took out the silver tickets and gave them to them in turn.

These girls looked at the numbers on the silver tickets, and their eyes widened.

There was only one woman, sobbing in a low voice.

"Your name is Gu Sanniang."

Qi Zixiao stood in front of the other party and spoke softly, knowing from the registered information that this woman was abducted by traffickers when she was returning to her hometown to see her parents.

"The people's daughter is Gu Sanniang, this official, I, I want to go home to see my father, mother."

Gu Sanniang's eyes were red and swollen.

"Your parents are sick and dead."

Qi Zixiao still told the other party the cruel news.

According to the regulations, the dead people below must be reported and recorded.

Therefore, it was easy for him to find out the news of the death of Gu Sanniang's parents.
