Shen Lin walked into the room angrily: "No wonder the public resentment is boiling. Officials on both sides of the Yellow River colluded with each other. A mere king has been concealed by them several times!"
Ji Changan was not in a hurry: "The more they help Wang Hai, the more connections they will reveal. Then it will be clear who is King Cheng's person!"
Shen Lin nodded: "That's true!"
"Which of these officials is at odds with Wang Hai, can it be found out?" Ji Changan asked.
"There is a man named Yu Xiaoguang, who was the governor of the two rivers. Wang Hai squeezed out the former governor and took charge of both sides of the Yellow River. This position was not suitable for him, and he was left idle at home. I just found him these days!" Shen Lin said.
"Then let's go!" Ji Changan stood up, "The person who knows a person best is not his friends, but his enemies. Maybe this person knows a lot of Wang Hai's secrets!"
Shen Lin nodded and immediately took Ji Changan there.
In a dilapidated courtyard, a man in a gray cloth robe was drawing something on a stone table. Next to him were a bowl of peanuts, a pot of mixed wine, and a bald dog lying next to him.
Ji Changan signaled Shen Lin to wait outside and came in carrying the food box.
The old dog immediately stood up and roared twice.
The man glanced at Ji Changan indifferently and said quietly: "Old Huang, don't scream, we are guests from afar!"
The big dog named Lao Huang continued to lie down obediently, wagging his tail obediently.
Ji Changan came forward, sat opposite the man, looked at the paintings on the stone table, pointed to one of the small pavilions and said: "This seems to be Bolu Mountain, the entrance to the Yellow River, and this side is Mazhaizi , there is a wave of bandits here, and this time the people rioted, it is said that it was this wave of bandits who instigated it!"
The man sneered: "If the court acts, if all the officials are good officials, none of the people will want to live a peaceful life. If you talk about incitement, there will be no injustice, and no matter who incites it, it will not work!"
Ji Changan smiled: "Yu Zhongxing is right!"
Yu Xiaoguang glanced at Ji Changan: "I have stopped walking for a long time, and I don't know if Mr. Ji is here. Is there anything you can do for me?"
Ji Chang'an smiled and said: "Although Yu Xingxing is no longer walking, he still knows me, which shows that Yu Xingxing is still concerned about the country's affairs!"
Yu Xiaoguang said helplessly: "I was born here, grew up here, later studied and took the imperial examination, and then came back to serve as an official. The people here are my relatives and friends, and are my food, clothing, and parents. Even if I no longer walk, But this is still my home!”
Yu Xiaoguang glanced at Ji Changan again and said, "The emperor has sent Mr. Ji as an imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the Yellow River riot. I wonder if Mr. Ji has reached a conclusion?"
Ji Changan sighed: "The conclusion is drawn, but now I can't catch Wang Hai!"
Yu Xiaoguang raised his eyes and looked to the east: "Wang Hai has three lovers, namely Dice Hua, the owner of the gambling shop in the city, Sai Xishi, the madam of the fireworks house, and Lang Lilang, the master of the Hexi case. Mr. Ji, why don't you send someone to look for him, and Wang Hai Even if you make money through these three directions, Mr. Ji can also check it out!"
Ji Changan smiled: "It seems that my trip here was not in vain. This is Tiancheng's snack donkey rolling. I heard from Master Jin that when I was walking in the Imperial College, this was my favorite thing to eat!"
Yu Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, watching Ji Changan open the food box and take out the pieces of crystal pastries. Suddenly, a familiar and long-lost fragrance hit his nostrils.
Yu Xiaoguang stretched out his hand tremblingly. He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Changan: "Do you know your mentor?"
Ji Changan nodded: "We are friends we have known for many years!"
Yu Xiaoguang took his hand back: "Back then, my mentor asked me to stay in Tiancheng, but I wanted to reimburse my hometown, so I refused my mentor's kindness and returned to my hometown. But now I didn't expect that I can't do anything to see the people in trouble. It's me.
I have failed my mentor and am not even worthy of eating this pastry!"
Ji Changan said: "In fact, it's not too late, if you are willing to cooperate with me!"
Yu Xiaoguang raised his eyes: "Do you know who is behind Wang Hai?"
Ji Changan smiled and said: "I came here because I know who is behind him!"
Yu Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment: "Prince and grandson, how dare you move?"
Ji Changan sneered: "I also have the blood of the royal family in my body, don't you know that?"
Yu Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment.
In fact, Yu Xiaoguang had heard some rumors about Mr. Ji, the richest man in the world, but he felt that they were just rumors and difficult to believe. Now that Ji Changan said it himself, he actually had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
If Ji Changan was a nobleman and the emperor trusted him so much, maybe he could bring justice to the people on both sides of the Yellow River.
"Behind Wang Hai is King Cheng. He wanted to win me over before, but I didn't want to, so I was squeezed out by him everywhere. In the end, I resigned out of anger and became a villager with bamboo strips!" Yu Xiaoguang pointed to a pile in the yard.
bamboo strip products.
"Over the years, I have watched Wang Hai grow bigger step by step and devour the people step by step. I have also united many people and wanted to submit memorials to others, but they were all detained by Wang Hai. Because of this, my wife
All my sons were killed by Wang Hai, and only this old dog is left to accompany me!" Yu Xiaoguang said, reaching out and petting the old dog beside him.
The old dog let out a sad whimper, drooped its head, and rubbed Yu Xiaoguang's palm.
Ji Changan frowned, not expecting that there was a blood feud between Yu Xiaoguang and Wang Hai.
"If you really dare not be afraid of power, I, Yu Xiaoguang, will dare to follow you. Even if I am a mess, I will bring Wang Hai to justice and save the people on both sides of the Yellow River from misery!" Yu Xiaoguang stepped forward and lifted up his shabby clothes.
He came out of his robe and knelt in front of Ji Changan.
Ji Changan stood up and helped Yu Xiaoguang up: "Of course I dare!"
Yu Xiaoguang's eyes were inflamed and he couldn't help but sobbed: "I have finally waited for this day!"
Based on the clues provided by Yu Xiaoguang, Ji Changan sent three teams to the gambling house, the fireworks building and the river bank, especially the river bank. Because of the large area, extra manpower was sent. As expected, Wang Hai was found on the river bank.
Wang Hai was finally captured and brought to justice.
After Wang Hai was captured, someone was sent from Dali Temple to take Wang Hai to Tiancheng.
After Yu Xiaoguang heard about this, he discussed it with Ji Changan all night.
"Wang Hai has a lot of evidence that King Cheng made money. I'm afraid that he will be silenced before he can reach Tiancheng!" Yu Xiaoguang said, "I wonder if the young master might find a way to get people from Dali Temple to come here for trial.
Or change it to the Young Master for trial?"
Ji Changan was also afraid of problems on the road, but since ancient times, there was no reason for Dali Temple to go out to try cases, and it was impossible for him to try them.
