Wu Sijing was very pleasantly surprised when he received Wu Sijing's reply from his servant. In order to prove his innocence, he urgently informed the businessmen of the news and told them that in the future they would only recognize the signs, otherwise they would not believe a word.
This move stabilized the relationship between the two parties. When Ning He's documents arrived again, the merchants indeed showed their trust in their compatriots by sending a letter with the words "I will deliver the order in two days. I hope you are ready."
He decisively burned the official document of "Jiao Ying" and informed the bishop. Wu Sijing didn't care much about this. After all, if there was such an emergency, the county magistrate would not remain indifferent.
Just when he was thinking about the county magistrate, he suddenly saw a long attendant come in with a letter and said: "This is an official document issued by the Ninghe County Government. I specially ask you to read it."
After hearing this, Wu Sixing hurriedly opened the letter, folded it up and took a look. It was clearly printed with an official seal, and he felt at ease in his heart.
"Okay, this is what he wrote. There is no problem. You can go to the factory and hand it over to the guests." He gently pushed the letter and then pushed it to Chang Sui's hand, but the latter didn't even raise his hand.
"Sir, the messenger told me that this is specially for you to see."
Wu Sixing's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. He looked at the servant suspiciously, and gradually grasped the end of the letter with a withered hand.
"The little man did not listen." The servant bowed deeply to him again.
Wu Sijing had no choice but to take the letter and read it in front of his eyes: "To Bishop Wu Sijing. I have no other business. It's because Ye, Cai and others have been quite abnormal recently. They have repeatedly called me to discuss matters, so I don't have any spare time."
ground, I'm afraid
We already know what is going on between you and me. But the current plan is to ignore the past grudges, cooperate with Li Shenzheng, and use their rivalry to protect our lives. I have taken the first step and conspired with Li.
Okay, sir, respect yourself!'
When Wu Sijing read the end, he cursed silently, then crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.
"Whether it's true or not, if I keep this thing, I will be suspected!" The anxiety immediately occupied his brain, and he hurriedly said: "Pick it up quickly and throw it away!"
Wu Sijing looked closely at the ball of paper on the ground, and began to ponder again during this quiet time: 'As it is true as stated in the letter, if I burn this thing, I will die without any evidence. In case the situation takes a turn for the worse, the county magistrate is trying to save his life.
If you want to betray me, wouldn't I have no countermeasures? If you keep it, although it is risky, you can blackmail the county magistrate if you retreat, and you can switch to the Li family if you advance, which is a clever plan...'
"Wait!"
Chang Sui was about to throw the paper ball into the nearby wastebasket when he was suddenly pinched by Bishop Wu's hands. He looked back in shock.
"It's better not to throw it away." He grabbed the letter with his hand and flattened it again with his arm. The handwriting was still legible. "Also, this matter must not be spread to anyone."
"Is it true this time?" The magistrate took the official document and glanced at the adults behind him in panic.
"What do you think?" Cai Xianqing sneered, "I've told you no less than ten times, and you're still so hesitant, what big thing can you do!"
The county magistrate repeatedly complimented him: "Of course this villain is not as good as you... I wonder if this official document will be sent directly?"
"As the saying goes: How can you catch a tiger's cubs if you don't get as good as the tiger's den?" Cai Xianqing sneered, "We can't wait any longer this time. Now is a great opportunity to finish! Let's just have a big show and we will go to Beitang together.
How about reading out the Prime Minister's instructions?" After saying that, he turned his head and saw Ye Yongjia and Li Wenshou nodding.
"But I don't know how to negotiate with them, so don't disturb your plans." The magistrate said cowardly.
Cai Xianqing shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, you just need to say what we told you. In fact, there is only one word 'jian' in the plan, and it is not complicated. If the first separation fails, there will be a second one. If the second separation fails, of course there will be a second one.
Three times... one time and two times, suspicion has arisen, and after repeated temptations, there will always be a time when it will explode."
"We have been feeling aggrieved for several days, and it's their turn today," Ye Yongjia stood up and said, "Mr. Magistrate, please prepare now, and inform the local Li Zheng and Chief Jia that we must arrive before noon."
"Ming, I understand." The magistrate thanked the three adults and hurried out.
"This county magistrate is not a gentleman," Li Wenshou glanced out the window, "You really dare to use him when he colludes with foreigners and despises the king's laws."
Ye Yongjia smiled and said nothing, playing with the flowers and plants on the window sill. Cai Xianqing replied: "This person is still useful, so we can't rush to him. When we come back from Beitang, we will arrest this person again and let these evil bastards die."
You can’t even run away!”
"The county magistrate has great influence in the local area. Who do you want to arrest him? The police officers are unreliable."
"Look," Ye Yongjia suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms, "This is what I just wrote. It not only states Wu Sijing's heinous crime, but also spells out the county magistrate's crimes one by one. Here
Not far from the capital, once the report is delivered, the court will come to arrest him."
"You guys are so thoughtful!" Li Wenshou pointed at their faces and laughed.
Just outside the village of Beitang, Li Zheng and his armor chiefs were leading a group of villagers, looking at the dozens of horses in the distance and waiting eagerly. First, the guards walked over, but they did not move; until they saw the following, they
Later, Ye Yongjia, just now
They cheered and knelt down and said, "Welcome to Mr. Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War!" Afterwards, he saluted several officials in turn. Seeing that the team was far away, Li Zheng waved his hand and shouted, and the villagers behind him came forward, playing and beating on the ground.
.
The momentum this time was so great that the four businessmen also faintly heard the noisy gongs and drums from a distance. They looked at each other in confusion. Not knowing why, they went to the street and asked several people, and then they learned that it was Ye Yongjia.
They arrived with official documents from the court, and they were all shocked and angry. Because things were in a hurry, they only wore single clothes and went in search of the sound.
"I've informed you before, why didn't you go out and invite a few villagers to fool the court officials?" Hearing Li Wenshou's scolding, Ye Yongjia quickly reined in his horse. When he looked down, it was four merchants kneeling down.
Fell into the pitted dirt.
The merchants were unable to express their sufferings, so they had to confess honestly: "We don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and we have made a big mistake by disrespecting the imperial court. I hope you will be lenient and forgive us lowly people!"
"My lord, you don't have to be so pushy," Cai Xianqing stopped Li Wenshou and motioned for him to get out of the way. "It's not easy for them either. Everyone should be considerate."
"If you dare to ask what the imperial court's instructions are, please let me know!" Fatty Shang raised his head and said with cupped hands.
"This is not the place for reading," the magistrate shouted, "please go to the church and sit down first, we will make announcements there waiting for you!"
