"Mr. Tang came to inspect the administration under the order of the imperial court, but he didn't want to encounter such a thing."
"If the deputy factory supervisor of Dongchang comes here, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to resolve the matter!"
Tang Zihu's father, Tang Sanhu, spoke frankly to Huang Tinghui.
After all, the Royal Guards were dispatched to investigate the case, and the people in Dongchang were alerted.
For an ordinary official, this is a disaster.
Since the establishment of Yuqianwei and Dongchang, there are only a handful of officials who have been able to escape from Yuqianwei and Dongchang.
So this time it was a disaster for the mountain leader.
Hearing what Tang Sanhu said, Huang Tinghui frowned tightly.
"If you report this to your lord, we may be able to find a solution!"
Neither the Imperial Guard nor the Dongchang forces can be fought by a scholar or a Jinshi.
Only high-ranking officials like the magistrate may be able to compete with the forces of the Imperial Guard and Dongchang.
It's just that the prefect is a local official, while the mountain chief who comes from the civil service department is a specially appointed official.
If the emperor or the important ministers of the court were to know that a local official went to great lengths to keep a special official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the court, it would inevitably arouse endless suspicion.
Therefore, even if the prefect is willing to help in this matter, I am afraid he will not come forward openly.
As a result, the difficulty of rescuing the mountain chief has increased.
"Mr. Tang!"
"Did this happen when the mountain chief was investigating the warehouse bills?"
Huang Tinghui thought of the crux of the matter, looked at Tang Sanhu and asked.
"That's what I said, but no one knows the specific situation!"
"Perhaps we can only know the situation of this matter from the mouth of the prefect or someone related to this matter."
Tang Sanhu knew that Huang Tinghui had some kind of friendship with the magistrate, but how deep and thick this friendship was.
Even Tang Sanhu didn't know.
So he just mentioned it casually.
"Um!"
"I know this!"
"Perhaps what happened to the mountain chief has something to do with the bills in the warehouse!"
"If we can get to the bills in this warehouse, we may be able to learn something and help us rescue the mountain chief."
Huang Tinghui thought for a moment and then said.
"Easier said than done!"
"Besides, the accountant also died with the eunuch!"
"Perhaps only the accountant can sort out the bills in the warehouse!"
"Now Mr. Accountant has died along with the eunuch."
"Who can sort out the bills in the warehouse?" Tang Sanhu shook his head again.
The eunuch and the accountant died suddenly at the same time. This was obviously something done deliberately.
But this method is difficult to crack.
Tang Ruocheng's character is naturally trustworthy, so the bill must be fake.
However, there is no way of knowing exactly where the fraud was done in this fraudulent bill.
After all, the bills are really overwhelming and difficult to organize.
"Maybe there is no way to solve this matter!"
"But if we want to solve this matter, we still need to enter the warehouse and explore it."
After chatting with Tang Sanhu for a long time, Huang Tinghui couldn't find any good solution to this matter.
He had no choice but to take leave from the Tang Mansion and head home.
…
A few days later, after learning the news, Gong Zicheng was also lifted from the ban by his father.
Came to Hangcheng Mansion to look for Huang Tinghui.
"Tinghui, the mountain leader is really in trouble this time!" Like Huang Tinghui, Gong Zicheng also came out of Luyang Academy.
As a disciple of the mountain chief, how could Gong Zicheng not worry about the safety of the mountain chief?
"The most critical part of this matter is the bill in the warehouse!"
"Next is the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory. After all, the little eunuch who died came out of the East Factory!"
"Even for the sake of his own face, the deputy director of the Dongchang Factory will not give up!"
Huang Tinghui said to Gong Zicheng while walking.
At the moment, I am just a scholar, and I want to get the mountain chief out of prison.
It is actually more difficult than reaching the sky.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui can only take a long-term approach to this matter.
"Tinghui, let's talk about the deputy director of the East Factory!"
"I have some news!" Although Gong Zicheng never cared about reading.
But this guy has always been extremely proficient in some heretical information.
If we look at future generations, this guy will definitely be an outstanding talent in intelligence work.
But if you put it next to Huang Tinghui, he can make full use of it.
"oh?"
"What news do you have?" At the moment, Huang Tinghui knew very little about the situation of the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory.
As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, they will block it; when water comes, the earth will cover it."
If you want to rescue the mountain leader, you absolutely cannot get around the deputy director of the East Factory.
So it would be great to know more about the deputy factory supervisor of Dongchang.
"The deputy director of the Dongchang Factory is relatively favored by the emperor in the palace!"
"But what a coincidence, this person is from our Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions!"
"It should be so if you think about it. After all, the emperor wants to send his servants to solve the things that happened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"A caring person who is familiar with the internal affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province will naturally be more confident!"
"In this case, the job falls on the deputy director of the East Factory."
He is indeed a person who is extremely proficient in all kinds of gossip.
But Huang Tinghui knew that what Fatty Gong wanted to say was definitely more than just this.
"Speaking of the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory, this person is also related to the Zhang family!"
"It is said that this person was a branch of the Zhang family before he entered the palace!"
"He has also received some favors from the Zhang family, so he has also read some books!"
"I would say that this person was also ambitious. His family was poor and he had read some poems and books. He also tried to take the imperial examination."
"But how can it be so easy to get through the imperial examination?"
"Later, this man was so cruel that he cut himself into pieces, entered the palace, and became the eunuch of the emperor today."
"The emperor was young at that time, so the empress dowager found a few eunuchs who were knowledgeable to accompany the emperor to study."
"This person has read some books, so he is very lucky to be selected by the Empress Dowager to be the emperor's reading companion!"
"In this way, he can become a popular person around today's emperor because of some contributions from the Zhang family!"
Fatty Gong first briefly introduced some of the news he knew.
Seeing that Huang Tinghui was quite interested in the news he told, Fatty Gong introduced the news to Huang Tinghui in detail.
"So to say!"
"The Zhang Mansion may be the key to rescuing the mountain leader!"
Huang Tinghui said to Fatty Gong thoughtfully.
"The deputy director of the Dongchang Factory has no relatives or friends in the palace city, and he is a branch of the Zhang family!"
"I think if he comes to Hangcheng Mansion this time, he will definitely choose to get close to his family!"
"After all, no one wants to be a vine without any support."
At this time, Huang Tinghui was slowly making some plans in his mind.
