Chapter 138: Turmoil (text)
"Next, it's time for children to be inappropriate......"
I spread my hands and said
"Mao, you, you, what do you want to do......"
The enigmatic creature jumped up like a fried cat, blushing and stammering
"I ...... I...... Sue sù you ha...... All eyes are on. ”
It's just that when she said this, her eyes were a little wrong, and she was squatting with her head and Cui Nuzheng, and she looked inexplicable, but Cui Nuzheng was also red-faced.
"What ...... I want?"
I'm a little innocent and nonchalant
"I just wanted to torture those thieves...... Would you be interested in being there?"
"Don't"
The enigmatic creature seemed to realize what it could be wrong with, and glared at me fiercely and walked away.
Soon after, in the ice cellar where the food was stored, I met these stumbling thugs and intruders, trapped in their limbs, gagged and kneeling with their backs on the ground with ropes mixed with animal tendons.
"If you want to kill, you will kill, and the river must say more......"
"If the master falls into your hands, he doesn't expect to be embarrassed ......"
"How can I ...... it even if I come?"
"I only hate to have a negative trust, and I can't peel off the skin and bones of my peers......"
After opening their mouths, all kinds of scolding and reverberating one after another echoed in the ice cellar, and it seemed that after so many things, their stubbornness and luck were still full.
"You've heard of a thing called sandalwood, and there is no ...... for it."
I walked in front of them one by one and wrote lightly,
It's just that some thugs who have been instructed to commit murder actually want to compare their abilities with the profound torture culture and imagination of the Chinese nation that has been attacked for 5,000 years.
In fact, these captives were not as determined as they spoke, and after killing the second thief who refused to open his mouth with a hammer and a stick, some of them broke down.
Then after repeated cross-references and citations, I got a name and their background.
Chan Tsz Kun...... The official worships the Xiao Cavalry School, and the Xiacheng Defense Army leads the deputy capital of the left battalion, Yu Hou"
"Do you have an impression of this man......
Someone whispered softly, drawing our eyes over, but it was Cui Nuzheng, her face turned red.
"Is it another allusion to the troubles......
The enigmatic creature muttered playfully
"My family's livelihood used to be a little ......"
She didn't know why, her eyes were a little red, and she was trying to justify something
"But I didn't know that he was like this"
"I see, it's none of your business,"
I comforted her gently
"It's just a trick to conceive of his crimes......"
At least I already know who the person on the table is, and it's not enough to do such a rule-breaking and taboo thing just because of a woman.
It's not my style to just be beaten and not fight back, at least I have to cut off these hands that have come from the depths to put an end to further calculations and means.
Jingzhao Province. Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Imperial Historical Procuratorate, all the departments that can be touched, I have found a way to get people to send a complaint to the past, it doesn't matter if it is accepted or not, I just need them to have a right to know that they can't deny.
Then he sent a few of the captives to the Sect Domain, and in the name of the Borneo Domain, he raised a complaint with the Sect Domain, about the agenda of the abuse of power by some people in the army and the encroachment on the Sea Domain, and in the shortest possible time, to make a big deal about it.
As for why not all the prisoners were captured, of course, it was a temptation to prevent important witnesses and exhibits from suddenly being killed or lost in an uncontrolled place.
Preliminary arrangement of these,
"Something is wrong,"
A person who had gone out to inquire about the news ran into the courtyard and said in a loud voice
"What ......"
To be honest, my first reaction was that the scene in the tea garden outside the city had been discovered so quickly
"It was Baoquan Street in the left city that was robbed......"
"What ......"
Even I stood up in amazement.
"Just last night, a group of drama bandits robbed more than a dozen money ticket houses on Baoquan Street overnight......"
"Last Night"
I seemed to grasp some clue, but it was fleeting.
"Those big merchants have rushed over to inquire about the situation......
The messenger continued
"The Arch Guard and Gendarmerie camps, have been cordoned off and entire neighborhoods ......"
"What about the Huiyuan?"
A voice asked
"That section was just stopped and didn't pass......"
The new man smacked his mouth and plucked up the courage to continue
"It looks like a fire, but the situation inside is unknown"
The little face of the mysterious creature suddenly turned as white as snow.
also made an exclamation of "Ah", as well as Cui Nuzheng,
The carriage drove aggressively through the streets, and it took half a day to cross the distance between the two urban districts.
It's just that the closer we get to Po Chuen Street, the more congested it becomes, so after continuing a little further, we have to get down and walk there
We were quickly stopped by the sergeants of the blockade.
"The official family is a heavy place to handle cases, and there are thousands of ...... to be idle"
All kinds of soldiers with rifles, or officers with swords on their waists, almost all over the street, compared to those loose defense troops, but another kind of spiritual outlook, the leader is a non-commissioned officer with a three-leaf coat of arms on his shoulders, and he shouted.
"I'm the proprietor of the Huiyuan here, so I have to go and check the property."
The enigmatic creature was generally serious, but the fingers clenched in her sleeves represented her nervousness and worry.
"For one reason, it has been filed with the Sect Domain......"
"Please ...... later"
The other party checked it, and the identity and documents we showed off, and his tone slowed down slightly. He walked away for some distance and called a man from inside to ask a few questions. That's when he turned to us
"You can go in......"
"However, in order to prevent a lot of people, each family is limited to five people......"
"Can't bring more people in......"
I tried to negotiate again, but I wouldn't let go.
Well, I motioned for the others to stay here and wait for news, and then called Bo Fu and the two forward rider guards, took the enigmatic creature by the hand, and slowly walked along the zigzag opening of the wooden horse.
Although I had been mentally prepared, when I saw the devastated street and the black façade of the Huiyuan, the mysterious creature couldn't help but shake its body for a moment, leaning softly on me, as if it had been drained of all its strength, revealing a certain weak and helpless expression.
"Be strong......"
I whispered encouragement to her,
"Maybe things aren't as bad as you think......"
Now that we're here, we'll have to go in anyway, and I walked slowly down the blackened steps, holding the pale enigmatic creature in my arms.
Although the air was filled with the pervasive smoke of smoke, the enigmatic creature seemed to be stimulated by something, and pushed me away and walked on my own.
It seemed that the fire was quite violent, everything that could be burned was burned, only piles of gray charcoal could not be distinguished, the metal parts were also burned into clumps of hard lumps, and the stone walls were burned and cracked like cobwebs.
We could only carefully identify the original location and purpose little by little, but the more we looked, the more we were surprised, the grief and grief on her face were heavy, and with them, they suddenly stepped on something, making a crisp click and a low exclamation.
I suddenly took her into my arms and covered her eyes with my arms despite the struggle.
"You ......"
She barely had time to utter a shy, angry end, before she was gagged and bit my upper arm.
"Don't look, walk slowly with me......"
I endured the pain and whispered to her
Smelling the air, different from the scorching smell of the fire before, she seemed to understand something, and hurriedly released her teeth, and hugged me tightly with her backhand, like a drowning person who needs to find a pillar float.
It wasn't until I walked into the backyard that the smell was completely gone, and I felt her stiff body slowly softening in my arms.
"Have you ever seen a real dead man......"
Then the enigmatic creature with a flushed face looked up into my eyes and said suddenly
"Of course, I've seen a lot of them, there are all kinds of things, and some of them were killed by my own hands......"
I replied without hesitation.
"In order to survive in this world, maybe more people will be killed......"
"But no matter what, I'll be your back......"
"Who told you to be my only confidant and partner?"
"Thank you, although I still feel very useless, but, anyway, I feel much better......"
She slowly withdrew from my arms.
It was burned thoroughly from the inside out, leaving almost nothing useful or traces, and even the building needed major repairs before it could continue to be used.
The real loss is actually not much, and the main worry and worry is the run on the future after the news spreads.
"Now a good news, a bad news......"
When I got back home, I spoke
"Let's talk about the bad ...... first"
The enigmatic creature has some love for the lost road,
"Well, the bad news is that all the books and records of the Huiyuan have been burned in the fire,"
"In this way, we will not be able to proceed with the liquidation and reorganization of the accounts, and we will have to face the recourse of those customers...... But there is a lack of sufficient credentials. ”
"And what about the good news......
This sentence is squatting with his head in his hands, and he raises his hand a little weakly.
"The good news is that because of the bond market operation a few days ago, the savings and gold deposits in the membership account have been called out by us...... I haven't had time to return it yet......"
"So ......"
"So at present, there are only some in the Huiyuan number, and the small amount of deposits and bills that should be redeemed on a daily basis are just ......"
I continued with a feigned excitement
"The total is only one or two thousand......"
It is said that it is only one or two thousand, and when converted into copper coins, there are nearly two million, which is an indescribable huge amount of money for ordinary people.
A family of five has a monthly allowance of 100 yuan, which can be called a solid family, and the purchase of a first-class table is only 10,000 yuan to support the sky.
However, for us who have just made a fortune from the bond market, it can basically be regarded as a simple number.
Now that the feelings and thoughts have settled down, it is not so shocking to sort out the clues.
These days are undoubtedly an eventful time for the residents of the five cities of Guangzhou, and the events and changes brought about by various vaccinations have made them dizzy and full of topics and conversations, but also into continuous panic.
More than 200 officials and village soldiers were slaughtered in the tea mountains on the outskirts of the city, and their bodies were stacked in mud ponds under the cover of bamboo branches and dead trees, and it was not until the third day that they were found because of the foul smell.
And the few people who were lucky enough to escape at the scene were all frightened, and none of them came back, but escaped from Kinai or hid in the countryside, which made things even more complicated.
But for those involved in this planning, it was an out-and-out nightmare and disaster, Feng Shisan did not deal with that target according to their expectations, but only threw out some pawns and shook a shot near the other party's mansion.
Then he used a stand-in to deceive most people, and personally led another group of people who infiltrated Guangfu, his real elite cronies, to launch an attack on Baoquan Street, where Guangfu was full of goods.
And he sensibly did not move those government-run industries that were more sensitive in nature or heavily guarded, but chose those small and medium-sized money ticket shops that were gathered together on the streets outside Baoquan Street for a few days, and the defense force was relatively lax and weak.
So the harvest was very rich, and afterwards they set fire to the miè deeds, and although there were many guards in the official industry, they did not dare to leave their posts without permission, so they almost sat back and watched the ravages of the strongmen outside the street.
In fact, in the street market outside Baoquan Street, which was blocked that day, this Nanhai Thirteen Lang came back again.
He dressed as a coachman, well concealing his somewhat bronzed complexion soaked in the sea breeze and dampness, and squatted on the edge of the cloth barrier in the teahouse while drinking water.
While looking at those who were dressed in gorgeous robes, but could only be supported by their families and slaves, such as mourning, crying out for the sky and the ground, or crying, I couldn't help but pull a sneer at the corner of my mouth.
Who is he, he is the famous Cang Harrier, the thirteen langs who crisscross the open sea, the Shangguan who killed the unpleasant Shangguan at the age of fifteen, and the generation of big lords who oppose the sailors, and his ability and dark line in Guangfu are much deeper than most people think.
Although his grudge against the family that embezzled the Tibetan silver did not diminish it, it did not prevent him from using his own way to recover the losses he had received and to ask for further compensation.
He is not a brainless madman, but an old oilman who has been infiltrated in the calculation and repetition of intrigues, since those high-ranking officials want to drive him to do the cannon fodder that is the forerunner, then naturally he must also be psychologically prepared to bear the corresponding backlash and calculation.
Those who are good at planning people always seek it, and repay it for the other, this world is always very fair, isn't it?
The so-called proficient members who were directly discarded by him as a cover in name were actually those unruly or ambitious people in the gang.
At this moment, as their destination, it is estimated that they are in the prison of the official family, enjoying all kinds of hospitality, and tossing and resurrecting for the trumped-up crime charge.
