Chapter 331: Something Wrong
"Yes!"
The cow shopkeeper wiped a handful of tears and said 1510.
"Since our salt shop opened in Yangzhou City, business has been very good, Yangzhou's eight salt shops have reached an astonishing sales of more than 20,000 taels per day, it stands to reason that our business is so good, the villain should be happy, but the villain always feels uneasy in his heart, so he can't sleep well every night in those days.
That night, in the middle of the night, the villain was in a daze and heard someone talking outside, and their accent should be a native of Yangzhou. There was a person who said that it was good to scare it, and there was no need to burn it all, and then another person said that there was no need to be afraid, after doing this ticket, someone would naturally send us to Shandong, and they would not be able to find us even if they had great ability. Then soon the fire burned, and the villain saw Erbao struggling in the fire with his own eyes, and the villain could only hide in the water tank, and they were burned alive like this! ”
Speaking of this, the cattle shopkeeper burst into tears, crying all over his face with tears and snot.
Yang Feng didn't speak, but his face became extremely gloomy, and he said slowly after a long time: "It seems that Ben Bo still underestimated the greed of those people, they can kill people and set fire without hesitation for their own interests, and the law of the Ming Dynasty has long been wiped out in their hearts." ”
"Uncle!" The shopkeeper wiped a handful of tears and said eagerly: "Although the villain has no evidence, the villain can be sure that the people who did this must be those salt merchants, and the villain can guarantee this with his head!" ”
Song Ye, who had been standing behind Yang Feng, frowned: "Uncle, although we can conclude that it was those salt merchants who did it, but we can't do anything about them without evidence." ”
Yang Feng squinted at him and sneered, "Evidence...... Don't those salt merchants think that as long as there is no evidence, even if we know that they did it, there is nothing we can do with them, and today Benber is going to tell them one thing, some things don't need evidence. ”
After that, Yang Feng said sharply: "Shopkeeper Niu, Ben Bo will allocate a hundred families to you later, and you take them into the city." Your task is to mark all the mansions of the eight salt merchants in Yangzhou City to Benbo, and watch over them, and report anything unusual to Benbo in time. Song Ye, you immediately send an order to go down and rest early today, and the whole army will set off into the city tomorrow, let's go together to meet those guys who ate leopard gall for a while! ”
"Understood!"
Although the shopkeeper Niu still didn't understand what Yang Feng was going to do, when he heard that his boss meant to do a big job, he was so excited that his whole body trembled a little, and he soon took a hundred family members who had changed into civilian clothes out of the barracks......
It was late at night, and Yangzhou City, which had been noisy for a day, entered calm again.
Liuyuan Lane, located in the south of Yangzhou City, is an alley that is one mile long, but thirty percent of this alley is owned by the He family, which shows the wealth of the He family. The He family compound covers an area of more than 300 acres, dozens of houses in the compound, there are all kinds of small bridges and flowing water pavilions and pavilions, and then there are more than 200 direct families of the He family living in this place, plus the servants and subordinates, there are thousands of people, in this compound, the old man of the He family is the sky, and no one dares to disobey his words.
Although Old Man He's status in the He family can be said to be supreme, the place where he lives is just an ordinary looking small courtyard, an ordinary house and a small vegetable field, but it is this house that has an extraordinary status in the eyes of thousands of people in the entire He family, although the He family's population is large, but there will never be more than ten people who are qualified to enter this small courtyard.
Mr. He's schedule is very regular, and he usually goes to bed to rest after nine o'clock in the evening (nine o'clock in the evening), but today the lights in his room are still on, and Mr. He is sitting by the window and watching the silence outside the window, and the teacup on the coffee table next to him has already become cold. Next to him, his son, He Yousheng, the current head of the He family, stood next to him with his hands down.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Old Man He sighed lightly for a long time and turned his head and said: "Yousheng, did you say that your father was a little impulsive this time, for a thing that I don't know if I can get, I actually ordered to burn down Jiang Ningbo's shop in Yangzhou, you must know that Jiang Ningbo is a well-known eyelier who will report it, if we let him know that this matter is what our family did, can we withstand his revenge?" ”
He Yousheng thought for a while before saying, "Father, the child thinks you have done nothing wrong. Jiang Ningbo is certainly favored by His Majesty, but our He family has been in Yangzhou Jingying for hundreds of years, especially idle, even if he suspects us, but there is no evidence, what can he do to me? ”
At this time, Old Man He no longer had the calm and calm expression in front of everyone today, and smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "That's what I said, but my father has always been unsteady in his heart, and he always feels that something is going to happen." Yousheng, you prepare, send your mother and your two younger brothers and a group of cousins out of the city tomorrow, take refuge in Songzhou Mansion, and come back after Jiang Ningbo leaves Yangzhou. ”
"Father, is it that serious?" He Yousheng was very puzzled, it was the first time in so many years that he had seen his father so careful.
"Do as I say!" Old Man He's face sank.
"Yes!" Seeing that his father was angry, He Yousheng had to agree.
"Alright, you go back and rest!" Old Man He waved his hand.
"Then the son will go down first, it's not early, you can rest when you're old!"
After He Yousheng left, Old Man He still sat on the chair and looked out the window in silence. After a long time, he muttered: "People die for money, birds die for food, for the sake of my family's prosperity for a hundred years, what if I just burn your shop and kill your guy?" If you want to find the few people who burned down your shop that night, you can only go to the Netherworld to find it! As long as there is no evidence, even if you are Jiang Ningbo, what can you do to me? Others say how powerful you Jiang Ningbo are, and the old man will let you know how you are the opponent of the old man in the realm of Jiangnan! In the end, Old Man He's face was full of hideousness.
As the night passed, the sky began to brighten, and the city gate official Lao Sun walked up to the city wall while yawning and stretching, and when he looked out of the city, his outstretched hands froze in the air. Under the city, a team of uniformly clad sergeants stood quietly under the city, led by none other than Jiang Ningbo.
"Here we go again!"
Lao Sun covered his eyes in pain, this Jiang Ningbo has only been here for a few days and has scared himself twice, if it continues like this, I am afraid that he will have to go home early.
However, Lao Sun has been a city gate official for so many years, and his eyes are not given for nothing, this time without waiting for Yang Feng to speak, he quickly ordered the city gate to be opened, and watched a team of murderous sergeants enter the city again, Lao Sun immediately had a premonition that something big might happen today.
