Chapter 1045 Waiting to be punished by the nine tribes(1/2)
The outside of Jishi Hall has been surrounded by water, and all the imperial guards from Lin'an City Guards Station have been mobilized. There are government soldiers guarding the outside, and torches are burning, and it is almost daytime.
At the front, Jiangzhou State Shepherd Liu Xiwen looked slightly doubtful and asked again: "Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
"No."
Stationed at the Lin'an Health Center, Jinyi Guard Qianhu Luo Gang said: "We have been keeping an eye on it for a while. Considering the reputation and influence of Jishi Hall, we have been secretly investigating. This time, Shopkeeper Qian provided many clues, which made the secret investigation possible.
Great progress.”
"Liu Song, a businessman from Wei who supplied medicinal materials to Jishitang, has been arrested. He has confessed that he has been supplying luxury incense to Jishitang for two years. In addition, there are many hidden lines that have been investigated. There is conclusive evidence.
Jishitang is the largest place selling luxury fragrances!”
Listening to these words, Liu Xiwen's face became more and more shocked.
"How terrible!"
Lin'an Prefecture Governor Shen Yongzhi also sighed with emotion.
Jishitang's main store is in Lin'an, right under their noses, but they haven't found any clues for such a long time.
Who would have thought?
The ancestors of Jishitang all had imperial doctors, officials and imperial hospital orders.
Xiao Yongchun, the current head of the country and a national player, had treated him for illness, and he was a guest of officials from Jianghuai and Huaihe.
After all, everyone is sick at times, so who can refuse to associate with such a person with the reputation of a miracle doctor?
It's unbelievable.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Qian. If you hadn't come here this time, we wouldn't have discovered it."
Shen Yongzhi was so busy that he clasped his fists at Qian Dafu.
If this is true, then they have seriously neglected their duties and will not be able to escape accountability.
Naturally, the earlier it is discovered, the better.
"No one can see the darkness under the lamp, and I wouldn't believe it unless the evidence is in front of me."
Qian Dafu spoke.
I felt a little relieved inside.
The trip was worthwhile, and the long wait was not worth it. He finally found the root cause...
"No one opened the door."
Deputy Qianhu Nieshe came to report.
Several people looked at Liu Xiwen. After all, he had the highest official position here.
"Forced entry."
Liu Xiwen gave the order.
As the governor of Jiangzhou, he naturally knows how much His Majesty hates luxury incense. Earlier, members of the Yang family who smoked it were severely punished.
The crackdown on extravagance and fragrance has already been spread throughout the country, and local officials must do their best.
He will never defend it, he will spare no effort.
Just like Shen Yongzhi said, if it can be destroyed, it can be regarded as a remedy, although it is a little late...
"yes."
After receiving the order, Nie She gave the order and prepared to break down the door.
At this time the shop door opened.
Xiao Yongchun walked out wearing a coat and messy hair, as if he had just climbed out of bed.
"Someone reported that a group of government officials came from outside. What on earth happened to warrant such a mobilization of troops?"
Xiao Yongchun walked forward as he spoke.
"Come in and seize everything immediately to prevent them from destroying the evidence."
Qianhu Luogang was very decisive and didn't give him a chance to speak at all. There was no need to gossip when the evidence was solid.
And at this time, Xiao Yongchun should not have come out first, which shows that there is indeed a problem.
Get orders.
A group of uniformed guardsmen rushed in, and soon there was a noise inside.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yongchun immediately panicked.
"What are you going to do?"
"What to do?"
"Do you know where my Jishi Hall is?"
He scolded loudly and looked at Liu Xiwen again.
"Master Liu, our Xiao family has been pure and innocent for generations, what on earth is going on!"
He pretended to be hysterical and acted like he didn't know anything.
"Doctor Xiao, don't be so impatient. If there are no problems, we will leave."
Liu Xiwen responded casually.
"But……"
"Sir, I made a discovery!"
There was a shout at the door and everyone walked in.
Xiao Yongchun staggered and his body was trembling.
"Dr. Xiao, what are you shaking?"
Qian Dafu said deliberately: "The season is June, even if it is night, you won't be shivering from the cold, right?"
"I……"
Soon, several people entered Jishi Hall and were led to the backyard.
The scene was a mess, and there were still signs of burning, but it had been burned.
Deputy Qianhu Nieshe came over excitedly.
"They were immediately caught red-handed. They were probably preparing to ship the goods tomorrow and found a large amount of luxury fragrances in them."
There is no need to look too closely at this situation, it already explains everything.
"Xiao Yongchun!"
Liu Xiwen turned around and glared.
"How do you explain that?"
He was a local promoted official to the position of Zhou Mu, and he and Xiao Yongchun were old acquaintances. Before actually seeing the evidence, he never believed it.
But now everyone gets the stolen goods as well!
"What do I have to explain?"
Xiao Yongchun pretended to be calm.
"A lot of batches of medicinal materials will be sent out tomorrow. Since the quantity is huge, we are repacking them now. Is there any problem?"
"Still talking arrogantly!"
Luo Gang was angry, so he went over to grab a piece of luxurious incense and brought it to him.
"What's this?"
"Medicine."
"What medicinal materials?"
"yes……"
"Don't talk nonsense to him."
Qian Dafu interrupted directly.
"The man has been captured with the stolen goods. There is no need to say more. He will be taken back to the guardhouse for strict interrogation."
Qian Dafu said in a deep voice: "I suggest that all Jishitang branches be closed down, and the people in the stores and their belongings be checked one by one!"
He looked at Liu Xiwen while speaking.
"That's it."
Liu Xiwen turned to Shen Yongzhi again.
"More soldiers will be mobilized to cooperate with Luo Gang, and there must be no omissions."
"yes!"
To be continued...
