Chapter 404, Surrender
The incident happened suddenly, Tang Jiusheng originally wanted to secretly interview Liu Chenggong, but he didn't expect his whereabouts to be revealed, so that the county magistrate and others in this county waited for his arrival at Liu's house in advance, and even tried to buy him. Tang Jiusheng was in a hurry, took out the waist card of Dongwei Baihu, and successfully scared the other party, Tang Jiusheng believed that if he didn't accept the gold and silver and insisted on doing business, then these guys would definitely threaten themselves next.
Tang Jiusheng didn't have time to spend on them, so he took out Dongwei's waist card to deter them, which could be regarded as a plan. Kneeling on the ground, the county Cheng Weng Tonglang had beads of sweat flowing down his forehead, thinking that these people were just from the Weiwang Mansion where the foundation was not stable, but he didn't expect that these people were from the East Inner Guard. And this kid who claims to be surnamed Sheng can be a hundred households of Dongwei at such a young age, obviously there are people in the court!
Dongwei is the lingering nightmare of the officials of the Great Shang State, and the officials of Dongwei, under the leadership of Yang Jingzhong, do everything they can to skin, behead, Ling Chi, and destroy those officials who oppose Dongwei...... Which official of the big merchants is not afraid of Dongwei? Could it be that Dongwei is going to attack the county guard? Thinking of this, Weng Tonglang shivered with a cold shiver, and the scholar who claimed to be Liu Chenggong was also frightened.
The four catchers were even more frightened, stunned and at a loss. Weng Tonglang shouted and scolded: "You four waste, don't kneel down for the hundred households!" Only then did the four catchers react, and they also quickly knelt on the ground together, kowtowing to Tang Jiusheng.
Tang Jiusheng sat on the chair steadily, squinted his eyes at the six people kneeling on the ground, especially focused on the son-in-law who claimed to be Liu Chenggong, and asked with a gloomy smile: "You are not Liu Chenggong at all! Say, who are you, where has Liu Chenggong himself gone? If you still dare to lie today, what kind of punishment do we have in Dongwei, I believe you have also heard of it!"
The boy kept kowtowing, and said tremblingly: "Lord Baihu, the lowly position is Sha Chengxuan, the scribe of the torture room in Taoyin County, this afternoon, I heard that the three came from the Weiwang Mansion and inquired about the situation of Liu Chenli's family at the Taoyuan Inn, and the county guard had already reported that Diao Min had come to the Weiwang Mansion to sue the county guard, so we were told to pay attention, and if necessary, we could kill Liu Chenggong's family and kill the mouth! So Liu Chenggong is now locked up in the ......."
Sha Chengxuan quietly glanced at Weng Xiancheng, not daring to continue. Tang Jiusheng snorted in his nose, and Weng Xiancheng immediately kowtowed: "Lord Baihu, Liu Chenggong is now locked up in my family's dungeon! In the afternoon, when the lower officials heard that the three adults were from the Weiwang Mansion, they preemptively locked up Liu Chenggong and his family. Xia Guan was also confused for a while, but he didn't expect the adults to see what was going on! Xia Guan should be damned!"
Tang Jiusheng, who was sitting on the chair in a big way, reached out and picked up a gold ingot in his baggage, and his eyes emitted a greedy light. Weng Xiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly raised his head and peeked at Tang Jiusheng, just seeing this scene, his heart relaxed a little, as long as he likes gold, this matter will be easy to do!
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "I am one of the hundred households of Dongwei, but it is indeed true to say that I am from the Wei Wang's Mansion! Because Yang Da and Wei Wang want to investigate Ye Tengjiao's case! You say, can Ye Tengjiao still fly to the sky?" Weng Tonglang and Sha Chengxuan secretly glanced at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes.
King Wei has just come to Jiannan, his foundation is shallow, and it may not be so easy to move Ye Junshou, because behind Ye Junshou is Niu Jing's envoy, after all, he has been running Jiannan Road for many years, and there are many henchmen, if he wants to break his wrist with Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng, it may not be in a short time
will lose. But what if Dongwei's Yang Daguan was also involved? Even if Niu Jingluo made a little bit of a cow, he wouldn't be able to carry it! What's more, what people are only trying to do now is a small Ye Junshou?
The two of them knelt on the ground, their hearts pounding, and they didn't dare to say a word, just kept kowtowing. Tang Jiusheng's voice was cold, "Chief Manager Yang and Wei Wang Chitose are going to do Ye Tengjiao, especially when Wei Wang Chitose first came to Jiannan Dao, the new official took office with three fires, and the first fire was about to burn on Ye Tengjiao's body, so Ye Tengjiao is now meat on the chopping board! If you don't want to bury him, you will obediently cooperate with Dongwei and Wei Wangfu, understand?"
Weng Tonglang and Sha Chengxuan kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even claimed to be. Weng Tonglang raised his head and said with a bitter face: "Lord Baihu, the lower officials are also confused for a while, so they will be coerced and lured by Ye Tengjiao! A few days ago, he promised the lower officials that as long as he carried the investigation of the Wei Wangfu, he would definitely let me sit on the seat of Taoyin Zhixian in the future! Now that the lower officials are guilty, the lower officials will expose Ye Tengjiao, a bastard!"
Tang Jiusheng looked at Weng Tonglang's long face and deliberately lengthened his voice, "Well, that's good! As long as you report and expose Ye Tengjiao, this official can consider treating you lightly, or even not blame you in the past! But if you let this official know that you intend to deceive this official and deceive Dongwei, then you must know the consequences!"
Weng Tonglang kowtowed, and said in a loud voice: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare! The lower officials must tell the truth!"
The next thing went smoothly beyond Tang Jiusheng's expectations, Weng Tonglang and Sha Chengxuan explained Ye Tengjiao's robbery of people's daughters in Taoyin County, exploitation of businessmen, enclosure and murder, and so on. Tang Jiusheng was overjoyed, and took out Dongwei's waist card by mistake, and achieved unexpected results.
In order to stabilize them, Tang Jiusheng unceremoniously accepted all the gold and silver that Sha Chengxuan took out, went out with two burdens, and beckoned to the roof, Xiahou Lingyu fell to the ground, Tang Jiusheng handed over the two bags of gold and silver to her for safekeeping, and then returned to the house.
In order to gain the trust of Lord Dongwei Baihusheng, Weng Tonglang volunteered to go home to release Liu Chenggong's family, and Tang Jiusheng readily agreed to let him go. Weng Xiancheng played the lantern, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and crawled home, of course, Weng Xiancheng didn't know that there was a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds behind him who followed him all the way.
Fortunately, Weng Xiancheng didn't play any tricks, and obediently sent Liu Chenggong's family back, he didn't want to offend the hundred households of Dongwei, because he knew that Ye Junshou himself was difficult to protect, let alone protect them, the lesser of the two powers, Weng Xiancheng was a shrewd person, and it was the most important thing to protect his own interests.
Along the way, Weng Xiancheng kept currying favor with Liu Chenggong and made Liu Chenggong inexplicable. In the afternoon, he was first put into a dungeon and treated like a prisoner, and in the middle of the night, he was suddenly released by the county man with a smile on his face.
Tang Jiusheng was not idle here, chatting with Sha Chengxuan, and also got a rough idea of the situation in Taoyin County, the magistrate of Taoyin County and the county were not in harmony, and the magistrate of the county Long Yuheng was born in the same jinshi, but he was unwilling to join the same stream with the county guard, so he was squeezed out very miserably, and the magistrate usually even struggled to mobilize a quick catch. On the contrary, because he spent a lot of money and was covered by the county guard, he was mixed up in this county.
Weng Tonglang sent the Liu family back, took Liu Chenggong to the landlord's house, and saw Tang Jiusheng, Weng Xiancheng hurriedly knelt down, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Baihu, the lower officials have already taken the Liu family."
The person was sent back intact! Regarding Lord Ye, no, about Ye Tengjiao's forcible robbery of the people's daughter, as soon as the Lord asked the Liu family, he knew that the lower officials had something to say, and they would never dare to hide it at all!
Tang Jiusheng nodded, pushed the six people aside, and then looked up and down at Liu Chenggong, who was standing on the side at a loss. Liu Chenggong is in his twenties, wearing a blue gown, wrinkled and crumpled by ropes, and his appearance is not too handsome, but he looks very comfortable.
Tang Jiusheng asked Liu Qiongying in detail about being snatched away by the county guard Ye Tengjiao, and gave Liu Chenggong a reassurance, telling him that he was from King Wei's mansion, and His Royal Highness King Wei would definitely investigate Ye Tengjiao, and would exonerate his brother Liu Chengqiang from murder charges. Tang Jiusheng told him that in the future, he only needed to testify in court, and Liu Chenggong nodded again and again.
After talking with Liu Chenggong, Tang Jiusheng chatted with Weng Tonglang and Sha Chengxuan for a while, and asked them to pass on the fake news to Ye Tengjiao, only saying that after the three people from the Wei Wangfu saw the fake Liu Chenggong, they accepted the gold and silver, and they really had no interest in investigating the case, and the two agreed repeatedly.
Tang Jiusheng pretended to pat Weng Tonglang's shoulder affectionately, "Lord Weng, since this official has accepted the gold and silver from you and Sha Shushi, then we must do things for you! You can rest assured, after receiving the money, you have to do things, this is the principle of this official, you don't have to worry! After King Wei and General Manager Yang handled Ye Tengjiao, the next thing to do is to make the cattle all over the ground, so you don't have to worry about the cattle all over the ground!"
After Weng Xiancheng and Sha Shushi heard this even more earth-shattering news, they were completely relieved, although they had already told all the accusations they knew about Ye Tengjiao, but they were still afraid of revenge after Niu Mandi knew about it in the future, but now after learning that the next official who will be brought to justice is Niu Mandi, they are overjoyed, they are still afraid of a bird!
Tang Jiusheng squeezed his eyes, "King Wei Chitose said, only the chief evil will be punished, and the rest will not be prosecuted! Do you think, Niu Mandi has been entrenched in Jiannan for so many years, which official is not allowed to look at his face? Which one is not allowed to give him gifts? If King Wei arrests all the officials of Jiannan Road because of this, who will work for him, right? So, you don't have to worry at all, as long as you are loyal to King Wei, to General Manager Yang, and to our Emperor Dashang!"
Weng Xiancheng and Sha Shushi nodded again and again, and Weng Tonglang said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Lord Baihu for your advice, since this is the case, we are not afraid! Before, we were indeed afraid that the Wei Wangfu and the Dongnei Wei Division would clean us up, and we were afraid that Ye Tengjiao and Niu would retaliate!"
Tang Jiusheng laughed, "Then you should put your heart back in your stomach now! Jiannan Dao is the Jiannan Dao of Dashang, not the Jiannan Dao of Niu Mandi and Ye Tengjiao!"
Weng Tonglang leaned into Tang Jiusheng's ear and said with a lewd smile: "Lord Baihu, Xiaguan has recently redeemed an Oiran from Qinglou, named Xiaolouchun, that is really a masterpiece of color and art, extremely charming, especially a good flute! Xiaguan wants to dedicate her to the Lord of the Hundred Households, I don't know if the Lord of the Hundred Households intends to do so?"
Tang Jiusheng laughed treacherously, "Lord Weng, a gentleman doesn't win people's love! I won't tell you, there are also a few beautiful wives and concubines in the official's house, and too many women have gone home, lest the backyard catch fire! The official doesn't want a woman, you just need to guarantee this, the official loves this the most, and with this, he has everything!"
Weng Tonglang couldn't help laughing when he saw that the hundred households surnamed Sheng were so honest, "Okay, good!
