"Sir, there is someone outside who claims to be Tang Long and comes to see you. txt e-book download** While Master Yue was interrogating, there were officers outside who came to report that Tang Long was here.

When Yue Su heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"Send him to court."

In a short time, a guard brought Ji Huaizhen to the hall.

Although "Tang Long" is one of the first-class wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou, you have no fame and money, and you are nothing. When you get to the hall, you have to kneel down on the ground and kowtow to the governor.

Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "Raise your head."

Gu Huaizhen raised his head as he was told. Yue Su looked him over briefly and asked, "Are you Tang Long, the owner of Tangji Store?"

"It's just Xiaomin." Gu Huaizhen replied.

"The shopkeeper and managers of your store said that you were away on business and not in Hangzhou. Why did you suddenly show up today?"

Yue Su asked suspiciously.

"My lord, I did go to Suzhou for business, so I came back in a hurry. This morning I arrived at the border of Hangzhou. I heard someone said that something happened to the goods store, so I hurried to the city." Gu Huaizhen said.

"So that's it. You came back just in time. There is a case here that needs you to confront." Yue Su said, waved his hand, and said: "Bring Manager Zhu down from the hall and tell Tang Zhen

Go to court."

Above the court, the person currently being interrogated was a steward named Zhu from the warehouse. Yue Su asked the guards to take him down. In a short time, he brought Tang Zhen to the court. As soon as Tang Zhen arrived in the court, he saw the man kneeling on the ground.

Gu Huaizhen was immediately startled and thought to himself: "Why is the hall master here?"

But astonished as he was, he walked honestly to the steps, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The common people bow down to the great master of the sky."

Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "Tang Zhen, do you recognize the person kneeling next to you?"

Tang Zhen looked at Gu Huaizhen's back and recognized who it was. But now, he still pretended to look to the side, pretending to be surprised and said: "Isn't this our boss? Boss, why are you back so soon?

?”

Gu Huaizhen said angrily: "It's not a good thing you did. When I was not at home, you actually did such a thing to make money, and almost ruined the business passed down by my ancestors.

It’s all the fault of the boss. The boss is willing to bear this matter fully and will never drag down the boss or the Tang family.txt e-book download**" With that, Tang Zhen rushed forward to kowtow again and said: "Sir, we

Now that my boss has returned, it can be proved that our boss was not harmed. The robbery he led the crowd was all the fault of the common people. I hope you will learn from this and take a lenient sentence."

"Get a lighter sentence. If you can get a lighter sentence for your crimes, not everyone who is a gangster or a robber in the world can get a lighter sentence. Now that you have pleaded guilty, the case will be understood and let him sign.

Draw a seal." Yue Su said calmly.

The administrative clerk took the confession and asked Tang Zhen to sign it, and then heard Yue Su say: "Tang Long, although the robbery led by Tang Zhen is related to you, the governor wants to ask you a question now. Do you want to

Answer truthfully.”

"Young people must answer truthfully." Seeing that Yue Su approved Tang Zhen's case, Gu Huaizhen was relieved, but when he heard that Yue Su said that he still had questions to ask, he quickly said carefully.

"It makes sense that you didn't know about Tang Zhen's robbery because he was doing business in other places. However, Tang Zhen was able to mobilize so many thugs to go out for robbery at once, so you can't escape the blame.

I now ask you, have you done similar things in the past?" Yue Su asked.

"My lord, it is absolutely true that Tang Zhen could do such a thing, and the common people are really to blame. It is because they trusted him too much and let him go freely, which led to today's disaster. I will definitely remember this lesson in the future. As for your lord,

As I said, if something like this has happened before, I can swear to God that this will never happen. We at Tangji Co., Ltd. have always been honest and do business legally, and we have never committed any robbery." Ji Huai

Zhen said with a worried look on his face.

"It's hard for me to believe your answer. The reason is that your men kill people and steal goods without mercy. They even dare to confront pirates. If they usually keep their own rules, how can they have such courage? Tang Long, you say so.

"?" Yue Su said calmly.

Mr. Yue's words seemed plain, but when he got to the point, it really made Ji Huai really hard to argue with. "I don't know why they are so powerful. I don't have any contact with these people in the goods shop."

The place is usually managed by Tang Zhen, so I don’t know.”

He could only kick the ball to Tang Zhen. Gu Huaizhen thought to himself, this Yue Su is really powerful. Every question he asks is difficult to quibble with. No wonder he was able to solve so many cases in the past. Mr. Ye, Nangong Shuo, etc.

All the other characters could be defeated by him, but when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation.

"Tang Zhen, your boss can't explain clearly. Then come and explain to the governor why your subordinates are so powerful?" Yue Su looked at Tang Zhen coldly.

"Sir, the nursing home in my house also requires mandatory training on weekdays. Otherwise, if you encounter a robber when you go out to pledge goods, how will you resist it?" Tang Zhen explained.

"Didn't you say yesterday that some of the people here are nurses and some are laborers from the goods shop? The training in the nursing home is just that. Do the libarians who have seen it need to be trained on weekdays? Then who will come?

You are doing some work. You, Tangji Store, must be very busy." Yue Su said coldly again.

The Lord once again silenced Tang Zhenwen.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Yue Su said calmly: "I can't answer it. Let me answer it for you. Although your Tangji store is engaged in business on the surface, it is inevitable that you will do some shady things behind the scenes.

If you see a large number of thieves coming to sell stolen goods, you will definitely agree on a location and then forcibly plunder them. Tang Long, Tang Zhen, are you right in what I said?"

"The people are indeed legitimate businessmen and have never done anything like this." Gu Huaizhen still looked guilty.

However, Tang Zhen saw that the matter was difficult to resolve, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "What the adults said is absolutely true, the common people are willing to recruit. It is true as the adults said, when the common people receive the goods, once they see the sellers

The stolen goods were in huge amounts, so we agreed with them on a location and then robbed them. But the common people can guarantee that they only robbed those pirates who sold the stolen goods and never robbed serious businessmen."

"Assuming you are honest, does your boss know about this?" Yue Su asked again.

"Our boss doesn't know."

"Really don't know?"

"I really don't know."

"Hmph!" Yue Su snorted coldly and said, "Then you robbed so many goods and sold them in the goods store, wouldn't your boss see it? And every time you fight with pirates, it is inevitable that there will be no casualties.

So many people have been killed, can't your boss see it? For example, this time, more than 40 people died in one fell swoop, and Li Ye and the gang of pirates have not yet been taken down. It is estimated that if the navy officers and soldiers hadn't encountered them, they would have stopped them.

More people will die. Is your boss blind, or are you, the governor, blind?"

Zhen's reaction was very quick, and he immediately said: "To tell you what my lord, since Xiaomin is the shopkeeper of the goods store, it is easy for Xiaomin to do something with the goods. After all, there are so many goods in the goods store, and the owner cannot check them every day.

. As for the fact that there are casualties every time someone cheats, the boss won’t pay attention to this, because there are so many people working in the shop, and the boss can’t recognize them all. If there are a few, no one will bother them. Moreover, as long as everyone participates

I will reward the guards who robbed the courtyard generously, and they will not even say a word about the reward of fifty taels of silver."

His excuse was considered satisfactory. Yue Su nodded and did not ask further questions. He just asked them to sign and sign, and then said: "Let the two of them be detained for now, and the leader of the nursing home, Li Guang, will be called to the court for questioning."

Gu Huaizhen and Tang Zhen were imprisoned, but they didn't feel anything bad and thought it was normal. Yue Su cross-examined Li Guang, the leader of the nursing home, and Li Guang's answer was not much different from Tang Zhen's.

The boss didn't know about it. Every time he robbed, he gave the people below fifty taels of silver. Everyone was happy and nothing else. Yue Su just recorded it in the record as usual, asked him to sign and put it in deposit, and then interrogated the others until the evening.

When the time came, Mr. Yue said, "It's not early today, so I'll leave the court for now and try again tomorrow."

In addition to the people from the goods store, the people locked inside the prison are Li Zhong's people. It is now very crowded. Those little minions, there are more than 20 people squatting in a cell, but people like Gu Huaizhen, Tang

Zhen, Li Zhong and other high-level prisoners can still enjoy single rooms.

When it was dinner time, the jailer brought the food as usual. What good could the prisoners eat, a bowl of brown rice and a few pickles. People like Gu Huaizhen and Tang Zhen would not even take a look at this kind of food, but

Now and then, if you don't eat, you will be hungry.

At first, Gu Huai really didn't want to eat, but by the second watch, he was really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the brown rice, picked up a pickle, and took a bite. He thought to himself, at least he was a good person in the world.

Middle man, if you eat some of this rag, you will have to eat your guts.

However, this food is really unpalatable. The rice is hard and a little rancid. The pickles are extremely salty. One bite will kill two people. I think the chef who made the dishes sells salt at home.

.No wonder these pickles, Ji Huaizhen estimated that two of them would be enough for him.

Normally, no one could eat the rancid rice. It was only because of the terrible pickles that Ji Huaizhen finished the meal with his eyes closed. After eating, he felt a little sleepy, his eyelids began to tremble, and he turned to one side.

, and fell asleep.

But not long after he fell asleep, a jailer came over and saw that he had eaten all the rice. A smile appeared on his face and he turned around and left. Not long after, a group of people came to the prison.

, the leaders were Yin Zhu and Li Haoran, who also brought more than fifty soldiers. The group went directly to the prison cell where Gu Huaizhen was located, opened the cell door, dragged Gu Huaizhen up and left.

Ji Huaizhen slept so hard that he didn't even wake up. Tang Zhen lived in the cell diagonally opposite Gu Huaizhen. When he saw this scene, he was frightened. He secretly begged: "This
