Magistrate Chen immediately said: "The fire hasn't started yet, so I asked him to move everything away."
The eldest young master of the Du family also had a very ugly face. Over the years, Xiao Ci had not paid any attention to Ruizhou's affairs. These families had done a lot of things by colluding with Magistrate Chen because they had money.
Although those files and account books have been reconciled long ago, if you look deeper with determination, you can still find something.
The eldest young master of the Du family also panicked, and immediately called for a young boy: "Go and invite Master Zhou and Master Li to come over and tell us that we have something important to discuss."
Once those things are revealed, it will not only be a matter between his Du family and Chen family, but also the Zhou family and Li family will not be able to escape.
By the time Mr. Zhou and Mr. Li were eagerly invited, Magistrate Chen had already drank two cups of tea and suppressed all the panic in his heart.
Anyway, everyone has a share in those things, and no one can escape. It's useless for him to worry alone.
The boy who went to invite someone only said that the eldest young master of the Du family had something to discuss, and that Magistrate Chen was also there, but did not say what was going on.
When he hurried over full of complaints, he didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Magistrate Chen was still interested in drinking tea, he just assumed it was nothing bad.
Relying on his relationship with the Chen family by marriage, Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "In-laws, is this news of good news?"
Magistrate Chen glanced at Mr. Zhou, his eyelids drooped, he put down the tea bowl and sneered: "Announcement of good news? Ha, announcement of funeral is almost the same."
Master Li frowned when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at the eldest young master of the Du family.
The eldest young master of the Du family said: "It turns out that we are different. Prince Rui is definitely not someone who is easy to fool."
After thinking for a while, he added: "As soon as the fire started burning, his people arrived. They were even more powerful than the fire brigade. They put out the fire in just a moment, and took advantage of the situation to carry those things away.
It's not that coincidental."
When Mr. Zhou heard this, his brows stood up: "What? Did he carry the things away?"
He suddenly became anxious again and couldn't laugh at all. He said anxiously: "What should we do? He asked him to carry the things away. Then, let's, then wouldn't we throw a handle in his hands?"
"
As he spoke, he remembered something again. He looked at the eldest young master of the Du family and asked repeatedly: "You said that everything was settled, are you reliable? Will he find out and use these things to question us?"
?"
Although the eldest young master of the Du family is not as old as Mr. Zhou, he can't stand his timid appearance.
The Du family was running sideways in Ruizhou, and Magistrate Chen was the cover-up. Over the years, if they wanted to talk about their mistakes, they would just pick them up at random. If they really wanted to talk about it, the first one would be the Du family.
.
He wasn't even scared at this moment, but this week the Zhou family was already so scared.
Fortunately, he always pretends that he and the Chen family are related by marriage, so when something really happens, he doesn't even bother to take the blame.
Although the eldest young master of the Du family didn't say anything, Master Li was not so polite. He sneered and said sarcastically: "What are you afraid of? Master Zhou and Master Chen are related by marriage. With this relationship, I guarantee that Master Chen will protect you."
No worries."
At first, Magistrate Chen had a son who was of marriageable age. He initially valued the girl from the Li family and exchanged tokens in private. However, when he was about to show it to the public, he was cut off by the Zhou family.
Because of this matter, the Li family did not dare to offend Magistrate Chen, but they hated the Zhou family.
The Du family's business in Ruizhou is getting bigger and bigger. It turned out that the Li family and the Zhou family were forced to have only one way out. Because of the Du family's methods, these two families drank together and said they would join forces to deal with the Du family.
of.
As a result, the two families fell out because of the marriage of their children.
The Li family failed to marry Magistrate Chen, but later the Du family offered an olive branch, and the Li family accepted without thinking.
From then on, he became more and more at odds with the Zhou family.
Mr. Zhou may be scared, but he is not stupid. Magistrate Chen is on a boat with them. He is a clay Buddha and cannot save himself when crossing the river. If something happens, how can he care about him?
At that moment, Magistrate Chen looked at him sadly and said nothing.
Magistrate Chen was also one of the top two. Originally, they had discussed that when Xiao Ci entered the territory of Ruizhou, they would give him a first blow.
It's good now. Not only has his power been lost, but he has also caused a lot of trouble.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that Xiao Ci could calmly put out the fire, and easily carry away all the files and account books, you know that this is not a paper tiger, nor is he a fool like the rumors in the capital.
, cowardly.
The anger was strong for a while. If I had known that it would not be easy to deal with, I should have made a more detailed plan.
This time Magistrate Chen didn't speak, and the rest of the people also fell silent.
The eldest young master of the Du family is very stable and not afraid at all. Mr. Li and the eldest young master of the Du family are on the same front. Seeing his appearance, he immediately felt at ease.
Mr. Zhou can only act like an ant on a hot pot.
When Magistrate Chen saw the two old gods with calm expressions, he couldn't help but feel angry. He immediately said: "Now that the things have been taken away, what should I do next?
."
His eyes glanced at the eldest son of the Du family, and he said rudely: "Don't blame me for saying ugly things in front of you. We are all on the same rope. If I'm not good, you can't get better either. If that person is cruel, I will
At most, it will only take off the black hat, you will be different, and maybe so many years of operation will be in vain."
What he said is on point. The interests of several companies are involved in the first place. If you are not good, no one will get better, and no one will benefit.
The head of the Du family saw that Magistrate Chen was really angry, so he said: "I think everyone should not be anxious yet. Before this master came to Ruizhou, we were already well prepared. Those files were all
It's been handled cleanly, and those people outside have kept their mouths tightly shut, so nothing will happen."
He added: "As for the account books, if we check carefully, we can find out. When the time comes to investigate, the best we can do is find a reason to fool him and fill in the missing money. How can we say that our ancestors have been in Ruizhou for generations?"
, all the favors and relationships are in Ruizhou. If he wants to touch us, he has to think carefully about it first."
With the words of the eldest son of the Du family, everyone put it back.
But after returning from the Du family, no one could seriously pretend that nothing happened.
Everyone was ready and waiting for Xiao Ci to come and ask for help. However, as soon as Xiao Ci took the account book back, there was no movement for half a month.
It was still August, when the crabs were getting fat, and Song Qinghuan sent messages to every house, asking all the ladies to go to the palace for a crab feast.
