Chapter 41: The pit has been dug, please jump

"Did you hear it, your young ladies have spoken, hurry up and dodge. After listening to Miss Shi's words, Lord Wang, who had already shrunk into the group of officers and soldiers, immediately stretched his neck and shouted at the family members.

"Miss, they are clearly bullying, do you really want to let them in?" a family member asked in a low voice to Miss Shi.

Miss Shi waved her hand and motioned for the family to stand down.

The family did not dare to disobey the master's order, and slowly spread out to the sides, revealing a passage in the middle.

Lord Wang tidied up his clothes, walked in front of the officers and soldiers, and deliberately raised his head when he passed by the family members, straightened his chest, and stepped slowly into the threshold.

"Wait!" At that moment, a deep male voice came from inside the door.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Hong Tong rushing out of the courtyard, blocking Lord Wang's way.

Hong Tong was tall, directly a head taller than Lord Wang, and at this time he looked down at the other party, and an invisible pressure came to his face.

"Hongtong, what do you want to do? Do you want to go against the will of your young lady?" Seeing Hongtong appear, Lord Wang immediately shrank back into the group of officers and soldiers and shouted angrily at him.

"I am the Shifu Nursing Hospital, and anyone who dares to trespass into my mansion must first ask my fist if they agree. As he spoke, Hong Tong clenched his fists and made a clicking sound of bones rubbing.

"Hong Tong!" At this moment, Miss Shi reprimanded Hong Tong, "In front of Lord Wang, how can you speak in such a tone and retreat immediately." ”

"Miss, he ......" Hong Tong hadn't finished speaking, but after seeing Miss Shi's stern eyes, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach and retreat to the side with his head down.

Miss Shi turned to Lord Wang and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, please come in, and I hope you don't mess up the things in the house, so that I don't be reprimanded by my father." ”

"I don't dare to protect this......" As soon as Lord Wang spoke, Hong Tong's angry eyes were already shooting at him like sharp arrows, so frightened that he quickly shut up and led his subordinates into the Shi Mansion quickly.

As the officers and soldiers entered the door, the crowd of onlookers outside the Shi Mansion gradually dispersed.

"This group of black officials, usually don't do serious things, they pick honest people to bully, when Master Shi was in the past, they didn't dare to mess around, but today when Master Shi is out, they come to bully a girl, what kind of world is this. ”

"That's right, you said that Miss Shi is such a good person, she will definitely be eaten by this group of beasts today. ”

"Yes, I heard that it hasn't been a two-day since the government was eyeing Shifu, seeing that people make a lot of money and have good popularity, they have long wanted to rectify them. ”

"Hey, I just copied the Li family on the next street last month, and I also installed a felony of selling illicit salt, I really don't know what will happen this time, if I drive away Master Shi's family, I think we will also move with us, and we can't stay in this place." ”

......

When the surrounding residents dispersed, they were still whispering about the misdeeds of the local government.

From everyone's mouth, Jingfa learned that the Shi family is doing silk business, is a large local family, usually kind and charitable, and has excellent popularity, especially Shi Fanglan, the young lady of the Shi family, not only shows off her wisdom, but also has a kind heart, almost all the beggars and vagrants in the city have received her favor, and people will respect her as a female Bodhisattva.

After hearing this, Jing Fa shook his head, touched his stomach, sighed and said, "It seems that the Shi family can't eat this big meal." ”

Article 5 of the Assassin's Code: It's none of your business, it's all right, not to mention that it also involves the government and the yamen, and you can't get involved.

But he was looking forward to the meal prepared by Shi Fu in his heart, and at this dilemma, finally, his stomach defeated his brain.

"Who said that it is none of my business, this matter is about what I need most now, food, and there is not that dead Taoist priest, when the situation is not good, just force him to make a move and send him into the tiger's mouth. Jing Fa smiled at himself, thinking that he could rectify the Taoist priest later, he was in a very comfortable mood, and happily raised his feet and walked into the Shi Mansion.

Lord Wang was led by Shi Fanglan to the main hall, and before he could sit down, he waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go and search.

"Wait, Lord Wang, don't you just check the account? Don't bother your lords, I'll just order someone to pick it up. Shi Fanglan said gently.

"No, we have to ......" Lord Wang felt a cold coming from behind him again, he turned his head to look, and found that Hong Tong's eyes were staring at him, and he immediately stopped his mouth, stopped talking, and just nodded.

"The little girl thanked Lord Wang. After speaking, Shi Fanglan asked someone to go into the inner room, took out a thick account book, spread it on the table, and let the other party check it.

Lord Wang glanced at his left and right men, and the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded Shi Fanglan and the others in the middle.

When everything was ready, Lord Wang sat down at the table and flipped through the account books.

He turned the page quickly, and the sound of brushing continued one after another, giving the impression that he was not looking at it at all, but just turning the page.

When he turned more than half of the page, he suddenly stopped, pointed to the page above, and asked with a grim face: "Last month, your silk village bought two hundred catties of raw silk, but there was an income of one thousand taels, even a layman of mine knows that a horse of silk needs eight catties of raw silk, and two hundred catties of raw silk can only be woven into twenty-five pieces of silk, according to the current market price of silk, one horse is about ten taels, then it is only two hundred and fifty taels, then this extra seven hundred and fifty taels, I want to ask Miss Shi, did it fall from the sky?"

Hearing Lord Wang's words, Shi Fanglan was taken aback, and hurriedly took the account book and looked at it carefully.

"No, I have carefully checked every account of the Silk Village, and last month we did sell a hundred horses of silk, and we did have an income of one thousand taels. If I remember correctly, there should be eight hundred catties of raw silk in this purchase, why is it that only two hundred catties are written in this account book?" Shi Fanglan said with a puzzled face.

"Hmph, stop quibbling, come on, bring the account books of the Silk Farm, and confront Miss Shi face to face. Seeing that Shi Fanglan still refused to admit it, Lord Wang immediately ordered one of his subordinates to hand over the account books of the Silk Farm.

"The account book of the silk farm is clearly written, last month, you only bought two hundred catties of raw silk to them, within a radius of 100 miles here, only their family has raw silk to sell, do you want to tell me about the silkworms raised by your family, the silk that you spit out?" Lord Wang opened the account book, pointed to one of the lines and said sternly.

"No way, they must have mistaken the account. Shi Fanglan shook her head and said.

"Hmph, they made a mistake in remembering the account, could it be that you yourself also made a mistake in the account?" Lord Wang put the two account books together, and the two lines of words were clearly displayed in front of Shi Fanglan, two hundred catties of raw silk, which was confirmed.

"Tell me honestly, do you Shi family have other money from unknown sources? Confess leniently, resist, just hehe, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless. Lord Wang stared at Shi Fanglan closely, and after seeing the anxious look on her face, his heart was dark.

"This, Lord Wang, there must be something wrong in it, can you give us a few days, and we will definitely give an explanation to the government after we find out." At this moment, Shi Fanglan was a little at a loss, and her tone became urgent.

"Hmph, how many days is the grace period, so that you have time to erase the evidence? Think beautifully, come here, search for me, and see if there is something shady in this Shi family's mansion. As soon as Lord Wang gave the order, several of his subordinates stopped in front of Hong Tong as soon as possible to prevent him from interfering.

The rest of the group scattered and rushed to the rooms.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of ping-pong bells came and went, and it was obvious that the officers and soldiers began to smash the utensils in the process of searching.

Seeing this scene, Hong Tong roared angrily, and just wanted to make a move, he saw several officers and soldiers beside him brushing the ground and pulling out their sabers, he was afraid of hurting Shi Fanglan and others, so he had to swallow his anger.

And Shi Fanglan has never encountered this situation, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, Jing Fa was in a hurry and hurriedly went to look for the figure of the stinky Taoist, but when he looked around, he didn't even see a shadow of a fart.

"His grandfather's, this is too unrighteous, he ate other people's things, and he slipped away when he saw that the situation was not good?" Jing Fa scolded secretly in his heart.
