Thank you for voting for the monthly ticket.

When Uncle Guo saw Cheng Mo, he bowed to the ground and said, "The grass people have seen the prince." ”

If it weren't for Zhou Jin telling him that the king of Bei'an wanted to see him, and he wouldn't believe that he had lived for most of his life when he was old, and he could see such a big official, it would be the king of Bei'an, who had made great contributions to the state, and was much more official than Zhou Zheng of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Cheng Mo personally helped him up, and said softly: "The old man sits down and talks." ”

The corners of Guo Bo's eyes were wrinkled like ravines, his eyes were resolute, and he stood up and said, "Lord Wang, the grass people have grievances." ”

His fourteen-year-old granddaughter has already said that when she went to the salt field to deliver food to Uncle Guo at the end of last year, she was taken by Mung Bean and forcibly wanted to be a concubine, but her granddaughter was unwilling, Mung Bean relied on herself to be Zhou Zheng's henchman, and chased a few companions to his house, and strangled his granddaughter to death in front of him.

His daughter-in-law couldn't accept her daughter's tragic death in front of her, scolded Mung Bean a few words, was kicked in the center by Mung Bean, and died.

This is not the end, Mung Bean threatened him that if he dared to go to the government to complain, he would definitely kill his whole family. The old man has four sons and eleven grandchildren, and he didn't dare to make a mistake under the obscenity of mung beans, so he could only endure this breath. After he finished speaking in one breath, he said: "Even if the certificate is handed over, Zhou Zhoumu will not convict the villain, but I am afraid that he will sentence the grass people to the crime of false accusation and send the grass people to prison." ”

Wouldn't suing mung bean in front of Zhou Zheng be a slap in the face of Zhou Zheng? It would be unreasonable for him not to punish him severely.

Cheng Mo asked him to sign and draw a charge, and asked Ah Fei to send him back.

Not long after Zhou Zheng left the Jade Residence, Shen San got a report that Guo Bo and the others were gone.

Guo Bo and more than a dozen other people are salt workers in the salt field, and they suddenly did not go to the salt field to work this morning, these people are close to Zhou Jin, Shen San specially confessed, to be strictly monitored, they are all gone, the steward quickly sent someone to their house to find someone, but found that the building was empty. The steward didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran to report the news, but Shen San kept waiting in front of Cheng Mo with a strong spirit, until Cheng Mo signaled him to leave, and he came out, and he didn't get the news.

Shen San didn't sleep all night, he was exhausted, he yawned and wanted to make up for sleep, when he heard about it, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, so he hurriedly took the car to chase Zhou Zheng.

"What, those lowly salt workers are gone?" Zhou Zheng's face turned pale, and he said, "How do you do things?" ”

Shen San was about to cry, didn't he just want to climb the line of King Bei'an, so he waited in the Jade Residence, just like this negligence, the person disappeared. He didn't dare to say that he was negligent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around, so he said with a sad face: "They are working in the salt factory, and I have been sending people to keep an eye on them." ”

"Staring at the salt field, out of the salt field?" Zhou Zheng asked directly to Shen San's face. Zhou Jin was robbed and the salt workers disappeared, to say that there was no force in the secret and conspired against him, it would be self-deception.

Shen San was still looking for an excuse to clear himself, Zhou Zheng pushed him away, gritted his teeth and ordered a big search in the city, at this time, he didn't care if Cheng Mo knew about it.

The officers were dispatched en masse to strictly inspect all intersections and teahouses and taverns, and as long as they found new faces and suspicious people, they were all arrested and said, and in less than half a day, the prison was full.

The movement is so big, it is impossible for Cheng Mo not to know, and with his identity and character, it is impossible to pretend not to know, so Zhou Zheng just arrived at the yamen and was about to interrogate the arrested "suspect", when Heizi came and said, "Lord Zhou, the prince is invited." ”

Zhou Zheng patted his head, he was really busy and dizzy, and he didn't explain it to the Jade Ju, looking for a reasonable reason. He ordered the "prisoners" to be locked up, and hurried to the Emerald House, thinking of countermeasures all the way, and finally came up with a rhetoric when it was almost there.

"Oh, the prince doesn't call the lower officials to come over, and the lower officials will also come over to report. Recently, a group of bandits were running around committing crimes, and the lower officials learned that this group of people had entered Yangzhou, so they had to take the whole city and bring this group of people to justice. Don't blame the prince for alarming him. ”

Since the bandits are running around, it is naturally not his fault for governing the place, even if Cheng Mo wants to say it, there is nowhere to say it. Bandits are doing this kind of thing, committing crimes everywhere, today to the east, tomorrow to the west, who can say clearly.

Cheng Mo knew that Zhou Zheng found out. He said righteously: "This king eats the people's fat and the people's ointment, and he should do things for the people." Bandits harm the people, and they cannot be left behind. Lord Zhou, there is a place to get this king, you don't have to be polite, just say it. ”

Zhou Zheng thanked him again and again, and said, "With the prince in charge, the bandits will definitely be captured." ”

After searching for two days in a row, people closed stubble after stubble, and there were no useful clues at all, but the servants under his command and the family members of the state pastoral government made a windfall. Don't have any money to pay? They were all suspected of bandits and were arrested in prison, and for a while, public resentment boiled.

Cheng Mo was not idle, he slipped out of the corner gate of the garden, wandering around, seemingly wandering around, but in fact, he inspected the people's situation and witnessed many errands and family members asking for bribes. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with an elegant temperament, and he was completely a rich boy, looking around on the road, and soon attracted the attention of an errand officer, and the water and fire stick pointed at him and said, "Stop." ”

Cheng Mo really stood still, and said with a smile: "What? ”

The servant raised his chin and said, "Where did you get this dress?" ”

The sunspot behind him was about to step forward to teach the errand officer, but was stopped by Cheng Mo and said, "Is my dress yours?" ”

He was dressed in brocade, and at first glance he was a gentleman, how could such people as messengers call and drink at will? However, in Yangzhou City, Zhou Zheng is the uncrowned king, and the servants have always been arrogant, and no one pays attention to them. They make money and make it easy, a pair of eyes are aimed at the rich, the rich are expensive, they catch the bitter haha, there is no money in their pockets, what's the use?

"Hehe, you can admit it yourself." The messenger circled around Cheng Mo twice, stretched out two fingers, and said, "Pay this number, otherwise, see you in the prison." ”

When his companions saw that he was quick and caught a big fish, they were all envious, and one said, "Fourth, please drink at night." ”

"No problem." The errand officer who called the fourth child said briskly.

Cheng Mo stretched out two fingers and compared, and said, "Two two? Twenty taels? ”

Several of the officers laughed and said, "It turned out to be a fool." ”

The servant who called the fourth child was ridiculed, and he was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Two thousand taels, one less copper plate, you will honestly squat in prison for me." ”

"So expensive?" Cheng Mo smiled: "Then I'll still go to prison." ”

Several of the officers were dumbfounded, and one of them persuaded: "Take off your clothes is enough to cover the number, if you don't have any money on you, you can take off your clothes." ”

When he saw that Cheng Mo was young, he thought that he was a gentleman who had money in the family, but in fact he didn't know anything, so he was scared and obediently paid for it.

"Yes, it's okay to take off your clothes." Called the fourth messenger, he was really a little anxious, and thought he had caught a big fish, but he didn't expect it to be an embroidered pillow, which was useless.

Cheng Mo said: "How can that be?" Let's go to the prison, I'm going to see what the prison looks like. ”

"You're stupid!" A few errand officers were in a hurry, I really hadn't seen such a person.
