Lu Xiangsheng immediately took Qin Shuhuai and rushed to the prison.

On the way, Qin Shuhuai thought of something again, and said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Lord Lu, there are eight Jin merchants in Shanxi, not only subsidizing Zhang Xianzhong, but even secretly trading with the Tartars, transporting grain and iron tools with them, and making a fortune in the country, you can check it carefully." You shall not spare any of these people. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was slightly surprised, "The Eight Great Jin Merchants, I don't know which Eight Great Merchants Hou Ye is talking about? These profiteers dare to invest in the enemy, if this governor verifies the truth, he will not be spared." ”

Qin Shuhuai pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "With Lord Lu's methods, it will definitely be able to find out, so why do you need to point it out one by one?"

He said it seriously, but the actual reason was that he only remembered that there were indeed eight Jin merchant consortia in history to fund the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't remember which eight Jin merchants were at all.

However, even if he wanted to support businessmen, he would never tolerate these profiteers who disregarded the laws of the country and the danger of the nation for their own selfishness. In his opinion, these profiteers are a hundred times more hateful than the rogues!

Lu Xiangsheng arrested more than a dozen people from the "Dachang" because of the gangsters case, among which the grandfather of the Zhang family, the eldest and the second child were all identified by him as the main criminals and were all sentenced to beheading. So, these people are on death row.

When the official guarding the death row saw that it was the Governor himself, he immediately panicked and hurriedly came up to kowtow. But seeing that the Governor was more respectful to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy next to him, they all guessed it immediately, and this is the demon of the Ming Dynasty who has just entered our Taiyuan City and is famous all over the world, ah, it should be said that it is the Optimus Prime of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Shuhuai and Qin Marquis?

Marquis Qin and Governor Lu came to death row together?

Lu Xiangsheng said to one of the officials at the head, that is, the cell leader, "Open the door." ”

The cell boss did not dare to slack off, so he quickly ran to open the door, and then led the way in front and led the two in.

The other officials watched Qin Shuhuai enter the door, and immediately whispered.

"Obediently, he is really a first-class hero in the world, this bearing, this majesty!"

"Hey, we've seen the Marquis of Qin, and we can brag about it for a year when we go back!"

When passing by the various cells, many prisoners stretched out their hands from inside and shouted "wronged" heartbreakingly, but Lu Xiangsheng was unmoved.

Many of the death row inmates here were convicted by him personally, and if these people were either bandits or bandits themselves, he was confident that he would never make a mistake - even the Zhang family was very patient to give them the opportunity to show evidence, who told them not to ask for a warrant from Hou Ye in the first place?

Walking to a cell, the cell boss pointed to the three people inside and said, "Your Excellency, the Zhang family is here." ”

One of the unkempt middle-aged men inside followed the sound, and his face suddenly froze, and his mouth was open enough to swallow his fist.

Qin Shuhuai bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother Desheng, Benhou has wronged you!"

A "Brother Desheng" made the middle-aged man burst into tears as if he had collapsed! He rushed over like he had been struck by an evil spirit, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Qin Shaobao, oh no, Master Qin! Desheng is waiting for you so hard!"

When the grandfather of the Zhang family and the boss of the Zhang family heard Zhang Desheng shout, their godless eyes suddenly bloomed with an incomparably bright light. They knew that Qin Shuhuai's arrival meant that they were saved! The Zhang family was saved!

The boss of the Zhang family immediately helped up the grandfather of the Zhang family, walked to Qin Shuhuai, and knelt down for Qin Shuhuai through the wooden fence.

"Grass man Zhang Deguang, bring his father Zhang Wenjin, to meet the Marquis of Qin!"

Zhang Wenjin, the grandfather of the Zhang family, is already seventy-eight, so it stands to reason that he can not kneel, but at this time, he also trembles and wants to kneel.

Just now, the old lady and Zhang Deguang were still cursing Qin Shuhuai for killing his whole family. However, when they really saw Qin Shuhuai, they knelt down without hesitation.

It's not that they are spineless, but in this era, when businessmen face the government, they can't have backbone at all!

Seeing Qin Shuhuai come to save them, their resentment immediately dissipated, and they were grateful to Dade instead. completely forgot that it was because of Qin Shuhuai that they fell here.

This is not normal, but in Daming, it is very normal.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shuhuai was even more sad.

Neither businessmen, farmers, nor anyone else should be treated like this. However, even if they were really treated like this, with their diligence and wisdom, they still created a great and splendid Chinese civilization, and created half of the wealth of this time and space.

Qin Shuhuai was full of emotion in his heart, and immediately ordered the cell boss to open the door, and then helped up the Zhang family master first, and then Zhang Desheng and Zhang Deguang.

"Brother Desheng, Ben Hou has explained the situation to Lord Lu, you can go home. Qin Shuhuai said to Zhang Desheng, "Ben Hou made a special trip to make amends to you." ”

Zhang Desheng said with tears in his eyes, "Master Hou, Desheng doesn't dare, this matter is Desheng's own fault, if he knew that there was such a catastrophe, Desheng should have asked Hou Ye for a warrant." However, Desheng knows that Hou Ye will definitely help our Zhang family clear up the unjust case!"

Lu Xiangsheng also bowed his hand to the Zhang family and said, "Old lady Zhang, brother of the Zhang family, this governor also confesses to you. ”

He didn't really mean to make amends, and he still thinks he did the right thing. And judging from the facts, it really cannot be said that he is at fault. It's just that Qin Shuhuai has made amends, and he can't stand still, this is the knowledge in officialdom.

How dare the Zhang family blame the governor, the elder lady immediately said, "Don't dare to be, Lord Lu has tormented the old man." This matter is the fault of the dog, how dare you blame Lord Lu and Master Hou?"

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered someone to help the three members of the Zhang family out, and then ordered the cell boss in front of Qin Shuhuai to acquit all the people involved in the Zhang family's bandit case.

Qin Shuhuai helped Zhang Desheng, who was beaten to the point of difficulty walking, to the outside of the prison, and asked, "Brother Desheng, if Ben Hou asks you to continue to pretend to be a bandit and help the officers and soldiers find Zhang Xianzhong's lair, are you willing?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Deguang immediately rushed to reply, "Master Hou, the Zhang family is willing! The Zhang family is willing!"

The news of Qin Shuhuai's defeat of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng in Shaanxi has already reached Jinzhong, and now who doesn't know that Zhang Xianzhong is about to follow? Hou Ye asked the Zhang family to continue to serve the imperial court, that is to compensate the Zhang family, if you can't see this way, you are not worthy of being a Jin merchant.

Zhang Desheng held Qin Shuhuai's hand tightly and said, "Master Hou, what my brother said is what I said. ”

Qin Shuhuai patted the back of Zhang Desheng's hand and said, "Okay! Brother Desheng, Benhou will not forget what your Zhang family has done for the imperial court. ”

Zhang Desheng faintly felt that the Zhang family was going to soar in the Jin merchants from now on!

Why? Just rely on the Ming Dynasty Pillar Qin Marquis to call himself "Brother Desheng"!

The next morning, the army marched and continued northward!
