Shelter in the pastoral

Chapter 99 Jagged Wrist

Jiao Cheng is waiting at home for the news of those gangsters. These people are veterans of killing and stealing money. He has dealt with this kind of thing not once or twice. He has already made up his mind to let Fang Shujing die!

But the more they waited, the more they felt something was wrong. Normally, they should have come back long ago. Could it be that something happened?

The more Jiao Cheng thought about it, the more panicked he became...

At this moment, he felt more relieved when he heard the door knocking. It seemed that these people were just delayed on the road, but the smile changed on his face for three seconds, and the person who came was the head catcher.

Jiao Cheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said sarcastically: "It seems that the head arrester has a soft spot for my family, and he comes twice a day."

The head catcher turned cold this time, not as submissive as the last time he came here, he directly pulled out his saber from his arms, with a gloomy cold glow still shining on it.

"Grab it."

Jiao Cheng was suddenly furious: "I haven't committed a crime, why did you arrest me?"

No matter where the head catcher listened to him, the people under him directly brought the shackles to arrest people.

Jiao Cheng felt something was wrong all of a sudden, before he could yell out, his mouth was blocked and he could only whine.

This is the president of the chamber of commerce who is in charge of the wind and rain in this county. He used to be a guest of the county yamen. Who would have thought that he would become a prisoner in a sudden transformation? Everyone who didn't prepare for him was terrified.

After a long time, I didn't come to my senses. I came to ask for wealth and danger. Some servants wanted to show their loyalty, but before they stepped forward, they saw that the yamen servants were also carrying knives. It was like this scene at first glance.Everyone didn't dare to go forward.

The head catcher arrested the person and took away everyone around him.

Although Jiao Cheng was arrested, the resentment in his heart was greater than the fear. When he was taken away, his eyes seemed to be poisoned.

But the more he refused to accept it, the more angry the head catcher was, almost dragging him down.

The Jiao family is considered well-known in the county, and they never expected that someone would disrespect him so much.

Jiao Cheng was locked up in prison, and at the same time, all properties related to the Jiao family in the city were seized...

This time there was no warning at all, which caught everyone off guard.

When Jiao Cheng was taken to the prison, he saw someone coming in, and it was Fang Shujing who came.

There was some fear in Jiao Cheng's eyes, he absolutely believed in the strength of those gangsters, shouldn't he be dead?Why is it still here?

Did things fail.He thought it was impossible, but Fang Shujing appeared in front of him helplessly, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Fang Shujing looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person. According to the crimes he committed, ten times of death would not be enough for him.Unexpectedly, it took him only 30 years to accumulate this kind of wealth from an unknown person, and he even became the president of the chamber of commerce by some means to further develop his minions. In the end, it fell into Fang Shujing's hands.

Jiao Cheng kept talking with a whimper.

It's just that the mouth has been supported by a rag, and I can't say a word.

Fang Shujing asked someone to take away his rags.

The corners of Jiao Cheng's mouth were torn, and it hurt.If he had known Fang Shujing was so strong, he would have chosen to cooperate with him. He made a mistake at the beginning. He never thought that a scholar in his 20s could be so courageous.Although he regretted it in his heart, he was caught here in such a disgraceful way. He thought that what he had done before had already failed, and it was too late for him to regret it. At this moment, he said: "Don't think that everything is over if you catch me .”

Fang Shujing said: "The dead duck is stubborn." Then he threw out a card.

Jiao Cheng looked confident at first, but when he saw this sign, he instantly collapsed: "This... this..."

"I have already grasped the matter of your collaborating with the enemy and treason. I will punish your whole family for the crime of treason."

This brand is the iron ore entry and exit brand, which is in the hands of his confidant.In the past, people were forced to pay taxes to recruit people, and what they went to was not a quarry at all but an iron mine.Iron mines have been in the hands of the royal family since ancient times, and he wanted to occupy this place privately after accidentally discovering it.As long as the iron is extracted, it can be sold at a high price, but it is illegal to sell it privately.

He bribed the officials and brought him into the group to pay at least 5 taels of dividends every year. He sold the iron ore to foreign businessmen.

Iron can be used to refine weapons, and ordinary people would not buy so much, but he has been in contact with that businessman for more than five years, and the businessman provided him with tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver.

This is his biggest hole card.Although rice grains can also make money, how can it be more profitable than smuggling arms.Those thieves from Jiangyang were recruited in the same way.It was Zhang Huairen who found out a few days ago that he wanted to present it to the young master himself, but he felt guilty about the other party's book, so he borrowed flowers to offer it to him.With this ironclad evidence, plus his hidden guards have already controlled the iron mine.It's already a catch in a urn.Not one of them can escape, this is Jiao Cheng's biggest hole card.

Once this is uncovered, he will die without a burial.

Jiao Cheng said frantically: "I'll fight with you." He was about to rush up, but it didn't work. Fang Shujing took care of him himself.When the surrounding yamen servants saw that it was not good, they gave him control.

With evidence such as account books and correspondence, he is the mastermind of this case. He and the principals of several iron mines were all sentenced to beheaded, and all the more than 200 members of the family were exiled...

The rest of the property was confiscated directly.

It only took them three days from the sentencing to the ransacking of the house, and they acted vigorously throughout the whole process. Not only did the people in the city pay attention, but even the rest of the merchants were shivering, hiding at home and not daring to come out, especially those whores who followed Jiao Cheng back then.With their courage, they didn't dare to get too close to the Jiao family. Who knew he would dare to rebel...

Jiao Cheng has been interrogated for two days, and Fang Shujing is reading his confession.

He was just a house slave back then, but the slave bullied the master and killed the master's family, took the money and came to their county town to develop, as long as he was in the same industry, he would use inferior means to frame him and make some money. After the black money, he started to bribe, and some things he did were beyond description.When he asked about the beheading, the common people all came to see and hate the duck's root itching.When he died, he threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on his body.At first, I only thought that the sand in their food was poisonous, but later the county announced the iron ore incident.How many people were forced to recruit workers and died in it, and they would not forgive their hatred if they were not cut.

He reported the matter of the iron mine, and soon got the approval of the court, and they wanted to send troops to take over immediately.But when he discovered such a thing, his superiors gave him a great credit.

Fang Shujing is in the study, the master came with Boss Zhang.Ever since Boss Zhang came to find Fang Shujing that day, he had surrendered, and the county master was not skilled in managing money and accounts, so he just asked him to help.

After Fang Shujing let them in, the master's hands trembled a little: "My lord, the money from the Jiao family has been confiscated and found out. A total of 100 million taels of silver, three boxes of jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures are included in the register! "The rebellion of the Jiao family is a certainty.The money from the ransacking went back to the county, even someone as prudent as Master was shocked... Fortunately, there is Boss Zhang who is so used to the big world.He was dumbfounded just seeing the white money, and he swore that ordinary people would never see so much money in their life.

Fang Shujing was short of money when he wanted to set up a deblinding class and build roads, but he didn't expect to solve all the troubles in Jiaocheng. Now the warehouse in the county is almost out of place.

The author has something to say: There are a lot of things going on today, so let’s do this first, and tomorrow will be more complicated.
