The noisy air in the hall was turbid, and there was no smoking at this moment, but the smoke and dust generated by lighting objects such as candles, oil lamps, etc. could not dissipate in the gambling house, making the smoke scattered inside. In such an environment, people were still laughing endlessly, and of course there were also disputes. Su Jiu lost all the things that could be mortgaged and was arguing with the thin man who was betting there.

At this time, a "bang bang..." suddenly came from the door. The noisy atmosphere inside quickly began to calm down. The people who were beside the door were afraid. Who would smash the door in the middle of the night? Could it be that the yamen's tolerance was to catch the gambling?

A strong man came over and said, "Don't panic, let's take a look. We are in Wannian County. If something happens, there will be no news at all?" After saying that, the man walked forward, looked out of the crack in the door, and took the latch and opened the door. A fat woman and a servant were standing at the door, and as soon as the door opened, they rushed in. The man turned around and smiled, "Su Jiu, your wife is here to find you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone said, "Is this still the wife of the Su Jiu family? Didn't you just hear that he even exported the woman?"

The woman looked around and finally found Su Jiu's place. She walked over without caring around and grabbed his arm and cursed: "I haven't come home in the middle of the night. If you don't bet, you can kill your life? Come with me!"

The thin man raised the contract in his hand and smiled and said, "You go back first today, I will collect this thing first."

When the woman was obedient, and with the cheers from those people just now, she asked, "What is that, let me see." The thin man said, "Su Jiu mortgaged you. With his own concealment, I can't show you. If you tear it up, who will I ask for? Haha..."

"You..." The woman was embarrassed and angry, staring at Su Jiu with wide eyes, and Su Jiu did not dare to look at him.

At this moment, several people walked over here. A person who had accent didn't look like he often in the capital said, "Let her accompany us all night, and the account will be written off." After that, he couldn't break up and came up to hold Su Jiu's wife. Su Jiu said anxiously: "What are you going to do in broad daylight?"

"This is night! The contract is clearly written. You can't control this woman anymore. She's writing in black and white. Can you just want to pay for the debt?"

Su Jiu came up to pull, but unexpectedly someone pushed him and fell to the ground. The men then pulled the woman in and walked in. The playboys in the gambling house not only did not stop him, but instead watched the show next to him, and almost clapped his hands. Someone shouted, "It's interesting now, it's really good."

The woman was anxious and struggled while cursing, and soon there was a piece of cloth on her lips. Su Jiu heard the ridicule of the people around her. Some of them were people he usually knew. Although they were friends with wine and meat, they were always unable to hold on their faces. He had already blushed and got up from the ground and chased after him. Unexpectedly, he ran to the door of the inner room and was blocked and grabbed.

The woman was taken in. Chen Ying, who was standing in the corner, looked at her secretly and felt very disappointed. She saw that the woman was not ugly, had good skin, and had nothing to be fat, but her waist was too thick and had no attraction to Chen Ying. He ordered, "I'll give it to you. This good woman can't sleep even if she spends money." After hearing this, several men who were traveling with her laughed. Someone reached out to grab the woman's chest. After tugging, she tore a large piece of her shirt and saw the red bellyband inside.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper spoke, "It turns out that you really plan to deal with the women of Su Jiu's family on the spot?"

"Didn't it be agreed?" Chen Ying smiled.

The shopkeeper said coldly: "If it were someone else's family, I wouldn't care about you. Besides, there is a contract, so it's reasonable to say that there is no bad reputation. But the Su family has something to do with the government, and even the people in Wannian County have been in trouble."

Chen Ying said: "Is the shopkeeper's repentance, or are he afraid?"

"I'll give you that contract. What do you do if you leave this place? I can't control it. But don't do these tricks in my place!" The middle-aged man said seriously. At this time, several strong men came in from outside and surrounded Chen Ying and others.

Chen Ying looked around and laughed, "You are right. You have to listen to what the land says on this territory. Well, I spent a lot of money tonight, but it was not wasted. I stopped when I saw it, and said goodbye."

"Slow down." The thin man shouted and handed over the contract in his hand. "If you take this thing, my work will be done."

Chen Ying smiled and said, "What should I do with this thing? Can we still bully us to do something at other people's house? This is too despicable." After that, he led several fellow travelers and walked out.

... Unexpectedly, this matter was not so easy. That night, Su Jiu's wife's top was torn to pieces, and when she went out, many people saw it. Many of them were edible and had fun. Naturally, they would use it as a joke after dinner. Some old gentry doctors who had prejudices about Su Jin's affairs knew about it, so they were happy to promote it. Whenever there were poet friends gathering, they would use it to spread it. It became a big joke in the Shilin. Many gentry officials were dissatisfied with Xue Chongxun's autocracy and dared not fight for it in the main business, but this kind of gossip that was not related to oneself was very happy to say. After the gossip was passed several times, the content changed, and the fact that Su Jiu signed the contract was said to be his wife being lustful on the spot.

Su Jin was very angry when he found out, and scolded Su Jiu in person, and gave up his job. Then he wrote a post to the young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, asking Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire about the matter. At this time, many of the institutions in the capital with real power were from Xue Party. Jingzhao Prefecture immediately inspected the fireworks, wine and sweet places near the West City, and it implicated many gambling houses. The troublemaker had already received news and went to avoid the limelight. Other brothels and restaurants that violated the law were in trouble and many people were arrested in prison.

This incident became a joke in Chang'an, and Xue Chongxun and others also heard about it. Liu An, who was familiar with the style of the scholars, walked around the prince's kingdom and said to Xue Chongxun: "This matter is not big, but it has to be noticed. A group of people are destroying the reputation of Minister Su."

Xue Chongxun was also angry: "Whoever attacked my man is just not able to get along with me! We use benevolent politics to think that everyone is safe, but we don't want those people to jump up and down casually. Jingzhao Mansion, if they ask them to investigate, they will know that they are using merchants and wine shops, bullying the weak and fearing that the strong will not be used. Duke Yuwen will take charge of this matter."

Yuwen Xiao, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I have to give Mr. Su an explanation." He thought for a while and took the opportunity to mention, "When Zhou Bin was the young minister of Jingzhao Prefecture, he had never had such a thing when he went up to the Shilin and down to the market? Although Zhou Bin's character was not as good as a minister, he could do practical things effectively. After all, the flaws did not hide the merits..."

The staff understood as soon as they heard this. Zhou Bin was a good friend of Yu Wenxiao. He was dismissed last time. Now that the news has passed, Yu Wenxiao mentioned that he might be revived... When Zhou Bin was messed up before, someone secretly said that no matter how much bad things this person did, the most important thing is that he is loyal enough, and his career will not end. It took only a few months, but unexpectedly, his words came true.

Zhang Jiuling knew it well and said softly: "Zhou Bin knew that the mistake could improve it. It was irrelevant to go to another yamen to hold a rank, but it was not appropriate to be the young minister of Jingzhao Prefecture at this time. The prince had already decided to calm people down and relaxed, and Zhou Bin had a reputation as a cruel official in the officialdom. Isn't it completely different to the Dingshow when he went to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and looked at Yuwen Xiao: "Let Zhou Bin go to the inner factory for training first, and then talk about this matter later. Now Yuwen Gong must find out who was framed and slandering Su Jin behind the scenes, understand the truth, and find out the commander behind the scenes!"

Yuwen Xiao took the job readily. The old man's current status is very innocent and he is appointed by the court. But everyone who knows his background knows that Yuwen Xiao's career was originally a stranger, and he has no family background or talent for research. He would not send government officials and yamen runners openly when he was in charge of the matter, nor did he make a real case. He was just like the Jianghu. After asking about some things from Qingpi in the city, he did not care about the real or fake, and he focused on the people who opened the casino.

The shopkeeper was threatened the next day. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but his left ear was cut off that night. The shopkeeper was afraid and angry, and hurriedly summoned people to touch the details of the people who threatened him. Finally, he realized that those people had eaten in Caohe before, which was not much different from the thieves in Jiangyang. Such desperate people would even miss the people in the gambling house. They were usually two people who did not violate the river. This time, the shopkeeper did not dare to retaliate when they got into trouble. He directly reported to the official and was afraid that ghosts would cause grudges. He had to ask him to come and talk about the possibility of reconciliation.

Unexpectedly, the person who came to the door to discuss was not the thief, but the official sign was a man. The inner factory was little known, but he really had an official role. The shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh in secret that the official bandits were all over the family.

How did the officials and clerks in the inner factory have something to do with the thief in the Yangtze River? This is something that Yuwen Xiao secretly tinkered with. He did not dare to let the criminals who were in charge of the big case, but he could buy some people to let the inner factory manage to do things for him. This kind of thing would not even be done by Zhou Bin, who was known as a cruel official. Zhou Bin was also a serious official, and no matter how vicious his temperament was, he would not have something to do with those people. Yuwen Xiao was not afraid and wanted to follow the roots. How different was he from the desperate when he started his business and the murderers who robbed people?

When the official came to the door, the shopkeeper felt a "knock" and understood everything. The disaster must be the matter of the Su family that he had been involved in last time. Sure enough, the person who came here said readily: "Don't keep it a secret, let alone think there is no handle. The things we are here to manage are exactly what Wannian County in Jingzhao Prefecture cannot manage, and naturally the method used is not the same as in the court. I understand?"

The shopkeeper suddenly became weak and could only nod. He thought to himself that he was a thief and had a white background. Who could he afford to be Nyonya?
