Pei Jingluo was also very moved by Cui Pu's suggestion.

He has been in Guangzhou for so many years, why has he never thought of such an idea? In fact, the medicinal materials used to cure water and soil are not expensive, and since those Hu merchants can come here to do business, they naturally do not lack this amount of money in hand. But how many people have delayed their lives just because they don't pay attention to this matter?

They didn't pay much money to distribute medicine like this, but what they got was Hu Shangda's gratitude from the bottom of his heart. That's not what you can buy!

With this friendship, they will put forward some conditions to Hu Shang in the future, as long as it is not too excessive, they will definitely agree.

It is true that all of this is inseparable from Mu Jiaojiao's sensitivity as a doctor. However, there are so many doctors in the entire city of Guangzhou, and there are so many people who want to spread medicine in the port, but no one has ever thought of applying medicine. This vision and this overall view are really incomparable to this couple.

This is a great thing that works for a thousand years and also makes a good impression for himself, Wei Tingshi and Pei Jingluo agreed after a little thought. Pei Jingluo's envoy even offered to send posts to the prefects of various places in Lingnan himself, inviting them to come over to discuss at this time. Cui Pu and Wei Tingshi, as the promoters of this matter, naturally wanted to attend at that time.

This is another great opportunity for the two to expand their social circle. Wei Tingshi agreed to come down, but when he thought that Cui Pu was going to be in the limelight with him, he was a little unhappy.

Thinking about it, he lazily asked, "Didn't you say that there are two things, Governor Cui, this is the first thing, so what about the second thing?"

"Then the second thing is that it really has to be made by Wei Tingshi and Pei Jingluo. Xia Guan alone can't even play in the Guangzhou Mansion!" Cui Pu hurriedly said, and beckoned Xiao Si'er to send a thick pile of paper.

Looking at the pile of papers full of ghost drawing talismans in front of him, Wei Tingshi's face sank: "Governor Cui, are you idle when you are this assassin history?

"Wei Tingshi, the lower official has been wronged! The lower official presented these things, and he didn't say that he wanted the two of them to read them carefully? These are just evidence that the lower officials showed the two of them. Cui Pu hurriedly explained.

Wei Tingshi snorted coldly and turned his head.

Deserve. Others haven't said anything, so you are in a hurry to jump out to find fault, and now you are humiliated by him, right?

Pei Jingluo gloated in his heart, and said to Cui Pu with a pleasant face: "What is the matter, you can tell me first." ”

"Actually, here's the thing. Cui Pu hurriedly pointed to the stack of papers, "When the lower officials came to Guangzhou by boat from Yangzhou, and when they landed at the Pearl River port, didn't they catch a group of subordinates who pretended to be lower officials and were acting as powerful people in the post house? Now here are the people who came to report the crime. ”

As soon as these words came out, Pei Jing's face became a little strange.

Wei Tingshi was very happy in his heart, but he said: "Since the people have already reported the case, then you will go to trial! Since you said that you want to recover the losses for the people, you must do what you say." Of course, if there is anything we need help with, we will definitely do it!"

But he thought in his heart -- don't think that he doesn't know, that so-called liar is Pei Jingluo's own grandson! Now that he has returned the person to Pei Jingluo's envoy, he still makes a fuss about this matter and has made so many victims, this is obviously slapping Pei Jingluo's face! Pei Jingluo's envoy can put up with him!

This person's temperament is really arrogant to the extreme. In the past, he ran into officials in various ways in Yangzhou, and then he was taught a lesson and did not know how to repent. This time he came to Guangzhou, and he even intensified his efforts, offending Pei Jinglu's family once, and now he is still using them as a raft! Now he has even made trouble with Pei Jinglue's envoy. If you were Pei Jingluo, you must have tore him alive on the spot!

But looking at Pei Jing's performance over there, although he was a little angry, he didn't seem to be angry to the point of losing his mind?

So how can it work?

He couldn't help but add a fire to his head: "Such a person who does a lot of evil and cheats the people out of money, we must crack down hard, and if we catch one, we will give a severe blow, so that he will not dare to commit it again in his life, and we must also give the people a blue sky and white sun, what do you say?"

"Wei Tingshi said this very much, and this is also the purpose of the lower officials to see you two today. Cui Pu nodded hurriedly.

Wei Tingshi looked at Pei Jingluo triumphantly: "Pei Jingluo, what do you think?"

This is forcing him to take a stand. In such an environment, he can't do it without nodding his head. And once he expressed his position, he also slapped himself in the face. And this account, he will definitely remember it deeply, and he will return it to Cui Pu when he has the opportunity to turn back!

Sure enough, Pei Jingluo nodded his head slightly: "What Wei Tingshi said is very true. Governor Cui, what do you want to do, just tell the truth, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely help you do it. ”

In other words, if he can't do it, or claims he can't, then don't expect him to help him!

Hahaha, this answer is really amazing! These two people are really on the bar! Wei Tingshi secretly clapped his hands and laughed in his heart.

Cui Pu smiled openly: "With the words of Pei Jinglu and Wei Tingshi, the lower officials will be relieved! However, this matter seems to be more complicated than the lower officials expected, and the two of you will listen to the lower officials one by one." ”

As he spoke, he divided the stack of materials into several parts, and explained to them one by one: "After collecting these files, the lower official ordered someone to go down to verify them, only to find that there are still many problems here. For example, in the first pile, all the things in it are true, but the perpetrators are not the people who were caught by the officials that day, and the people just want to take advantage of this incident to get the government to help them recover their money; This is also the heaviest pile of these files, and it can be seen from this that rampant hooligans in the interior of Guangzhou Prefecture have become rampant! The lower officials feel that these people must be arrested and teach a good lesson! Otherwise, they really think that we officials can be deceived at will!"

Finally, he picked up the third pile, which was also the thinnest, only a pile of only four or five pages, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "In this last pile, people have made up stories so wonderfully that the lower officials almost believed it." However, when the lower officials took the case to the people for questioning, they refused to admit it, and only said that they were only first-time offenders in this case, and that they had never done anything bad before! Seeing that their expressions did not look like they were telling lies, the lower officials asked people to quietly search for this group of people, and they actually discovered a big secret!

Listening to him advance step by step, Pei Jingluo and Wei Tingshi's hearts couldn't help but rise.

"What's the secret?"

Cui Pu took out a silver ingot from the cuff and handed it over: "Look, you two, do you know this thing?"

Wei Tingshi swept his eyes, and only recognized the words 'Lingnan Dongdao' and 'Cast in the 27th Year of Kaiyuan' at the bottom of the silver ingot. After Pei Jingluo looked at the silver ingots back and forth, his face changed greatly: "Isn't this the silver allocated by the household department to Lingnan to open up Dayu Ridge last year?"

In this era, silver was not a currency in circulation, and the currency used by the people was copper coins or gold leaves. Most of the things like silver are pinched in the hands of the government, and they will only be uniformly distributed every time they allocate funds to the army, or when they are used for disaster relief and so on, and generally no less than 100,000 yuan per issue. The money is minted by the government, marked at the bottom, and then transported to the place where the money is allocated in boxes. Therefore, Pei Jingluo recognized the origin of this ingot of silver at a glance.

And the ancient name of Dayu Ridge is the fortress that must be fought for by soldiers from ancient times to the present. In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, the sage ordered Zhang Jiuling, who was then the left of the left, to supervise the excavation of the Meiguan Ancient Road, that is, Dayu Ridge. After its completion, the road became the main thoroughfare connecting the north and the south. A series of ivory, agate and other items on the Hu merchant cargo ship that landed at the port of Guangzhou were transported to all corners of the New Tang Dynasty more quickly.

This is also one of Zhang Jiuling's main achievements.

After Zhang Jiuling passed away, the sage also asked a few words about the situation in Dayuling. After learning that because of the excessive number of cars and horses coming and going every year, the road surface is often damaged, and he ordered the household department to allocate 200,000 yuan to the local government to repair the Dayuling Road and continue to develop. After the money was sent to the Guangzhou Thorn Shi at that time, the prefects from all over the country came to fight for the right to repair the way. The assassin was unbearable, so he specially invited Pei Jingluo to mediate. Pei Jingluo's envoy had seen these silver ingots at that time.

"Where did you get all this money?" Pei Jingluo turned his mind around, and he began to shout in his heart.

Wei Tingshi's face suddenly changed.

Cui Pu saw that they understood what they meant, so he said: "There are a few people under the subordinate who have good kung fu, and when they found out that these people's whereabouts were strange, they have been quietly following them. One day, a group of them gathered somewhere, and when they were separated after the gathering, their waists obviously bulged a lot. Taking advantage of a person's unpreparedness, the family of the lower official quietly stole a ingot, and returned it to the lower official. As soon as the lower officials saw it, they realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked them to continue to stare at this group of people, and the lower officials came to ask the two superiors for advice with silver ingots. ”

Needless to say, the money was definitely stolen. It's just that, according to him, this is clearly a gang crime, and the amount of money involved is huge!

Hearing this, Pei Jingluo and Wei Tingshi were even more excited.

Can you not be excited? Stealing official silver, as long as they solve this case, it will be a merit of the sky. Although Pei Jingluo has reached the rank of official, he is not very valued by the central government in Lingnan. If this matter attracted the attention of the saint, he would have been desperate. Not to mention Wei Tingshi, he was originally squeezed by someone from the long arrangement, if he just came here and proved his strength with such a big case, then he would have enough capital to return to Chang'an!

As for why Cui Pu told them about it, the reason is even simpler - he is a small prefect and city envoy, and he only has the right to mobilize one or two hundred soldiers. But how can it be enough to deal with such a criminal gang? A big and important case like this must be taken over by a truly well-trained team. Wei Tingshi and Pei Jingluo made the two of them meet such conditions, and they were his superiors, who did he not come to beg them for?

And for things like stealing official silver, there must have been people inside the government to deal with it from the beginning. But most of the official silver is fifty taels or one hundred taels and one ingot, and there is a special mark on it, and whoever dares to take it out and spend it is simply looking for death. As soon as the money was taken out, he must have been taken back to the government by the officials.

If you want to use it, you either have to melt it and cast it into smaller silver nuggets, but this technique is too difficult, or you can find people in the government and quietly exchange the official silver for private silver, and then take it out for circulation. In this way, this again involves the relevant officials.

Therefore, this must be a shocking case. As long as it can be broken, the reputation of the three of them will be great!

Therefore, now that Cui Pu didn't need to say more, Wei Tingshi took the initiative to ask: "Pei Jingluo, do you remember the local officials who handled these official silvers at the beginning? Let's sort out our thoughts first, lock up the people who stole the official silver with these thieves, and then follow the vine and arrest the people who helped them sell the stolen goods." This case can be solved!"

Now, he doesn't have time to sing against Cui Pu anymore. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was -- to make meritorious service! To make meritorious service!
