Su Hao stepped forward and shouted to the two soldiers holding spears. After drinking, he turned to Du Weiming and said: "I, the sergeants, are all rough people and do not know etiquette. I ask Du Tongzhi to forgive me. However, in the light of
In my opinion, Du Tongzhi better not rush to see Xu Rendi."
"Xueshi Su, do you also believe that I am related to Xu Rendi?" Du Weiming asked with a dark face. He knew that the sergeant who held up his spear to stop him just now was actually declaring force to him. In this case,
, if he wanted to force his way in, although the sergeants could not hurt him, they could still make it difficult for him to move even an inch. Then he would really lose his face. Su Hao made it clear that he did not want him to go in and see the people inside.
Coming up with such a trick really left him unable to deal with it.
Su Hao said: "Du Tongzhi, of course I believe in Du Tongzhi's character. Since Du Tongzhi said there is no such a cousin, there must be no such cousin. However, this matter is supported by a confession signed by Xu Rendi himself. Before the investigation is clear, Du Tongzhi if
If I rush to see Xu Rendi, I'm afraid the officials will have excuses in the future."
"In your opinion, what should I do?" Du Weiming asked angrily. Why does the official have something to say? It is clearly Su Hao himself who has something to say. Xu Rendi's confession is in Su Hao's hands. If he
If you really use this as an excuse to find fault with Du Weiming, Du Weiming is really difficult to deal with.
Su Hao said: "I think this is the case. I will go and check the situation myself first, and also interrogate Xu Rendi to see if he is talking nonsense. Du Tongzhi has worked hard all the way, so he will go to the post house to rest first, and then wait until the situation is clear tomorrow.
Intend."
"Hey!" Du Weiming stamped his foot, turned around angrily, and walked away. Tan Yizhong and others hurriedly chased him and left in a hurry.
"Su Shou Bei, you scared the dog officer away." Seeing Du Weiming walking away, Zhang Yunlong walked forward with a smile and said to Su Hao.
Su Hao shook his head and said: "This time we are at odds with the Runing Mansion. Yunlong, have you found anything useful in the past few days? If there is nothing good, the next step will not end well."
Zhang Yunlong said: "Don't worry, Su Shoubei, Mr. Lin and Zhou Juren have been busy reviewing and checking accounts these days, and have found a lot of things. I will take you to see them right now."
Su Hao followed Zhang Yunlong into the Xinglong Gambling House. When passing by the hall, Su Hao saw that the ground was still a mess, and blood stains could be seen in many places. Before Su Hao could ask questions, Zhang Yunlong explained first: "Su Shoubei, this
Mr. Lin specifically told me not to change the scene so that he could serve as a witness in the future."
Su Hao nodded to express his understanding, and then followed Zhang Yunlong to the backyard of the gambling house. The backyard was very large, with more than a dozen rooms. The two parties involved in the fight were imprisoned in these rooms, and outside each room there were
Heavily armed soldiers were guarding the place. There were several other rooms in the backyard that were the accounting rooms and warehouses of the gambling house, where Li Zhi and others checked the gambling house's account books and documents.
"The change has come."
Seeing Su Hao walk into the accounting room, Li Zhi stood up from his chair and said hello to Su Hao.
"Mr. Lin, please sit down." Su Hao called Li Zhi's pseudonym, "Mr. Lin has been working hard these days."
"It's not hard, but it's a bit risky. Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain," Li Zhi responded.
Su Hao asked Li Zhi to sit down. He also found a seat and sat down, and then asked: "Listen to Mr. Lin, you have gained a lot this time?"
Li Zhi said: "We suddenly launched an attack and caught our opponent off guard. All the account books in the accounting room were not transferred or destroyed in time, and we had them all in our hands. In the past few days, I, Gengshu, and a few of them have taken these account books.
I did a lot of research and found a lot of clues."
"This is great." Su Hao said happily.
Li Zhi took a booklet, opened it and explained to Su Hao that the booklet contained the information they had compiled over the past few days about the merchants, powerful people and officials that had business dealings with Xinglong Gambling House. Just as Li Zhi said before, this
It is an intricate network of relationships that covers almost the entire territory of Runing. All subjects on the network have money exchanges with each other. As long as the reasons for these money exchanges are grasped, it is not difficult to convict these people.
"Have these situations been verified?" Su Hao asked.
Li Zhi said: "We interrogated Xu Rendi and other relevant personnel, and they all confessed to these circumstances. Their confessions have been recorded and they were detained. It can be said to be irrefutable evidence."
Su Hao smiled and said: "These people are so easy to talk to. They just say whatever you ask them?"
Officer Zhou Ru interjected from the side: "These people are usually very cruel to the people, but in front of our officers and soldiers, they don't dare to flinch at all. The third child of the Xiong family held a musket to the lifeline of shopkeeper Xu, and killed Xu on the spot.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he told me whatever I asked him, and he even told me about the scandal of watching his aunt take a bath when he was a child."
Hearing what Zhou Ru said, Su Hao couldn't help but feel a little painful. It was an extremely terrifying thing to have a gun pointed at his life. However, extraordinary things must also use some extraordinary means. If you don't show such a
He looks so unreasonable, and Seo Rendi and others will not cooperate like this.
"Next step, we have to check out the loan sharking firms. These firms are located in several other counties. I have arranged for people to keep an eye on them secretly," Li Zhi said.
Su Hao said: "There has to be a name for raiding a trading house, right? Is Mr. Lin prepared?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother? Instead, I will stay here tonight and watch a good show."
"Okay, let me just watch the good show compiled by Mr. Lin." Su Hao also responded with a smile.
That night, Luoshan County was destined to be restless.
Du Weiming went to the guest house of the county government with a lot of anger, ate a few bites of the food and wine prepared by Tan Yizhong, and then summoned the relevant people to discuss behind closed doors, mainly to discuss how many tricks in Xinglong Gambling House would be caught by Su Hao.
, and how should they respond to this change.
Everyone kept discussing until late at night, but in the end they couldn't come up with a perfect solution. With the evidence already in Su Hao's hands, all they could do was to pretend that they didn't know, and then Xu Rendi and other unlucky guys would be pushed out as cannon fodder.
Protect everyone's interests. Xinglong Gambling House is a money tree for officials in Runing Prefecture, including Liu Qichang. Now it has been chopped down by Su Hao. Even if he doesn't pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, the direct losses are enough to make everyone feel pain.
It's been a long time.
After talking about these things, Du Weiming felt sleepy, so he waved his hands to indicate that everyone could disperse. Before Tan Yizhong and the officials from Luoshan County walked out of the guest house, they heard an earth-shaking loud noise coming from the direction of Xinglong Casino.
"What happened!" Du Weiming jumped out of the room and asked loudly.
"It seems... it's Xinglong Gambling House!" Tan Yizhong guessed, pointing in the direction of the loud noise.
"Of course it's Xinglong Gambling House. Where else would such a commotion happen? I'm asking, what happened?" Du Weiming said.
Tan Yizhong said: "I will send someone to investigate immediately."
Before Tan Yizhong could finish his words, a government official rushed in and reported to him: "To report to the county magistrate, just now the Xinglong Gambling House was attacked by strongmen. The strongmen used gunpowder and blew up a door of the gambling house."
"Strongman? Where did the strongman come from?" Monk Tan Yizhong Zhanger was confused. This was a gambling house surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers on three floors and three floors outside. What kind of strongman would get into trouble like this? Also, a strongman
It is extremely unreasonable to actually have gunpowder. Only regular troops can find such things, right?
"I don't know." The officer scratched his head and replied. He was ordered by Tan Yizhong to monitor outside the gambling house. He just took a nap when a side door of the gambling house was bombed, followed by the brigade.
The officers and soldiers ran out roaring, supposedly chasing some strongman. As for what the strongman looked like and where he came from, he had no idea. The information he reported to Tan Yizhong was basically told to him by the soldiers at Kanyu Camp.
After a while, the people sent by Su Hao to deliver the message also arrived. They were a small group of soldiers, with about 40 people. The leader was a flag general. He told Du Weiming and Tan Yizhong that strong men were trying to invade Xinglong Casino.
workshop, kidnapped the prisoners, and when they failed to do so, they detonated gunpowder and injured several soldiers from the survey camp. Su Hao was worried that the strongmen would be detrimental to Du Tongzhi, so he sent them to protect Du Tongzhi.
"Where did this strong man come from, has Xuexiang Su ever told me?" Du Weiming asked the general manager.
Mr. Qi said: "I haven't heard anything from Su Shou Bei, but our Mr. Zhang Qian has personally led his troops to hunt down the strong man. It is estimated that he will be able to catch the strong man before dawn, and everything will be clear by then."
"Uh... Okay." Du Weiming felt exhausted mentally and physically. He couldn't figure out whether there was really a strong man or whether Su Hao was acting in another drama. If this was Su Hao's acting, then he was acting in it.
What's the purpose? Who else are you trying to frame?
Tan Yizhong and others left first. After returning, he was busy arranging for people to inquire about the news and spy on the activities of Xinglong Gambling House. Needless to say, Du Weiming was unable to go out due to his status, so he could only go back to his room to sleep. Strangely enough, he was like this
Although the journey was extremely tiring, I couldn't fall asleep at this time, and I began to enjoy the feeling of insomnia.
After finally staying up until dawn, Du Weiming sat up from the bed and asked his entourage with dark circles under his eyes: "Has Academician Su come here?"
"Sir, Master Su is not here," the attendant replied.
Du Weiming said: "Didn't he say that everything would be clear as soon as daybreak? Didn't he come to inform us about such a big matter?"
"This... Sir, it's still very early now. If Academician Su comes to see you, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while." The entourage said. At this time, most people haven't gotten up yet. Su Hao and Du Weiming
How could he possibly come to Du Weiming to report the news so early in the morning?
"Prepare the sedan. I want to go to Xinglong Gambling House to see for myself. Su Hao has been interrogating the prisoner all night. It's time to find out that I and that Xu Rendi are not related!" Du Weiming shouted angrily. .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
