Chen Muyan's suicide made the atmosphere in the county government even more serious. After Hua Qingfeng learned of the news, he immediately summoned Master Wang and Ye Xiaotian to the second hall. Hua Qingfeng asked Ye Xiaotian with a calm face: "Chen Muyan is an important suspect, Ye Xiancheng, how can he be allowed to enter the latrine alone? Take it easy!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, whether Chen Muyan was calm when she committed suicide is really impossible to verify. He is the ambassador of our county's tax department, and all the police officers recognize him. Although he is now a prisoner, he will always look down when he is not good for a while. This is also human nature, who would have thought that when he went to the toilet, he would... The officer has ordered that no suspect be left alone."
Ever since he saw the pile of money found from Chen Muyan's house, Master Wang no longer persisted in his opposition to Ye Xiaotian, but began to support Ye Xiaotian's actions. It is a felony. Trafficking goods from Myanmar is even more of an enemy, and the only way to die is to die sooner or later? Chen Muyan doesn’t want to live and suffer, so the only way is to seek death.”
Hua Qingfeng sighed again, once this person committed suicide, as the county magistrate, he had to write a very detailed report. Hua Qingfeng shook his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Xiancheng, the other suspects must pay close attention to it, and this kind of thing must never happen again."
Just as he was talking, a yamen servant came by and whispered something in Hua Qingfeng's ear, Hua Qingfeng frowned slightly, then turned to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Well! Ye County Chancellor, Zhao Yicheng came to the county yamen to find You, think there is something important, you go now."
"Resignation!" Ye Xiaotian bowed his hands to Hua Qingfeng and Master Wang, turned around and went back to his signing room, entered the signing room, and saw Zhao Yicheng sitting on his seat, His face was very ugly.
Ye Xiaotian smiled, motioned the subordinates in the room to retreat, and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Zhao, why are you free to come here today?"
Zhao Wenyuan said coldly: "Forget it, Mr. Zhao is a humble official, but he can't be called Brother Zhao by you Mr. Ye! Mr. Zhao came here just to ask Mr. Ye for advice. I don't know how Mr. Zhao offended you." , why do you, Mr. Ye, sincerely disagree with Zhao Wenyuan and me?"
Zhao Wenyuan slapped the table with a "slap", and excitedly said to Ye Xiaotian: "Xie Chuanfeng once wanted to join me, do you know why I rejected him? Because I know the grievances between you and him, so I rejected him Besides, Mr. Zhao is not disrespectful to you, Mr. Ye, right
Now that Xie's Chariot and Horse Company has collapsed, only Chang's and Luo Ligao's Car and Horse Company are left on the post road side by side. What's the matter, now Chang's Car and Horse Company has become a thorn in your Lord Ye's eyes again, you must Divide and fast, eh? "
Zhao Wenyuan was really a little frustrated. Yang Yinglong assigned him the task of controlling the post road. To control the post road, his status as a post post is not enough, because this is an official position given to him by the imperial court, and it can be deprived of it at any time. He must use his position to cultivate a force hidden in the dark.
For this reason, he has painstakingly cultivated the Chang's Chariot and Horse Company, and he has spared no effort all the time. Now it is good, let Ye Xiaotian give it to him in one go, how can Zhao Wenyuan not be annoyed.
Zhao Wenyuan leaned back in his chair, and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, I have a share in Chang's Car and Horse Company. I know that Luo Ligao Car and Horse Company is behind you, but you, Mr. Ye, can't Eat alone!"
Ye Xiaotian didn't think it was disobedient, walked over with a smile, picked up an account book, opened a few pages, handed it to Zhao Wenyuan, and said, "Brother Zhao, take a look at this."
Zhao Wenyuan said angrily: "I don't want to read it! If there is anything interesting, if you want to accuse it, there is nothing wrong with it! If you want to be accused, I can easily find it."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, why don't you take a closer look first, this has a lot to do with you."
"Huh?" Hearing what he said, Zhao Wenyuan took the account book half-believingly, and read it carefully. This was transcribed by Mr. Nan from the original account book, which is full of account book information of Chang's Car and Horse Company.
Holding the account book, Zhao Wenyuan stared at the place where the title was added, staring at it for a full cup of tea, raised his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian disdainfully: "Master Ye, don't you be confused? The account book in June of the eighth year of Wanli! At that time, Mr. Zhao had not taken office in Hu County! What does it have to do with Mr. Zhao?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "That's right! You continue to look down because it has nothing to do with you! I said that it has a great relationship with you. Don't you think that you're a part of it?" Chang's Che Ma's, Da Zhuang's business has nothing to do with you, is this the biggest problem!"
Zhao Wenyuan was startled, he was awakened by Ye Xiaotian, he hurriedly lowered his head, continued to look at the account book, and continued to flip through a few pages, Zhao Wenyuan couldn't hold back anymore, he turned straight to the back of the account book, looking at the recent goods Transportation records, his face became even uglier.
Zhao Wenyuan punched the table fiercely, his face was ashen. He suddenly understood that Chang's Car and Horse Company has been engaged in smuggling and smuggling. It was like this when Qi Mu was around. Yes... he didn't know about it, and he didn't get any benefit from it.
After Qi Mu's death, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and Qi's family became a mass of scattered sand, but the carriage and horse shop has never fallen down. Now it seems that the root cause is because of the smuggling and prohibited channels controlled by this carriage and horse shop. up. Chang Zizai was subdued by him using both hard and soft tactics. Looking at it now, is Chang Zizai really surrendered by him
He spared no effort in cultivating Chang Zizai. He thought that he was the one who controlled the life and death of Chang's Car and Horse Company, but who knew that he was just a fool being used by others.
Ye Xiaotian patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said sympathetically: "Trust is a knife. If you give it to others, they will have two choices: stab you or draw the knife for you! Unfortunately, Chang Zizai The only choice is... to stab you!"
※※※
Last night, the police officers suddenly rushed to Chang's carriage and horse dealership, and took away Chang Zizai and several senior managers. The people in the carriage and horse dealer were panicked and couldn't sleep peacefully all night. In the early morning of the next day, the guys came to work one after another. When they heard that something happened to the owner, it became a mess.
At this time, two people sneaked into the backyard, opened the corner door, and left along the mountain path behind. These two people, one named Sun Rui and the other Shi Jin, were Chang Zizai's attendants. Although they were limited to their personal abilities, they didn't hold any positions in the car dealership, but they were Chang Zizai's confidantes.
Last night, the policeman suddenly came to the car dealership, Chang Zizai had a ghost in his heart, so of course he was very worried. But the idea of resisting arrest disappeared in a flash in his mind. If he wanted to resist arrest, it was hard to say how many people would be willing to do it with him. Besides, he himself had no reason to fall into the hands of the government.
Therefore, Chang Zizai decided to "bind his hands without restraint", but at the same time, he also explained to Sun Rui and Shi Jin: the goods they smuggled were hidden in a very secret place, but they knew that these smuggled goods existed There are not a few people.
Along the way, the drivers and escorting warriors knew that when they hid their private goods, Lifu who carried them knew that although these people had followed him for many years, most of them were loyal and reliable, but now he is in prison, God knows who among these people Will there be backlash.
Furthermore, the government actually acted brazenly. Could there be no evidence in hand? Chang Zizai even suspected that the shipment had been seized by the government. So he ordered his two confidants to find an opportunity to check whether the goods were safe. If the goods were intact and had not been discovered, they would be buried nearby. , not afraid of no firewood.
At this time, the Chang’s Car and Horse Shop was in chaos. Some of the guys were worried that the car and horse shop would go bankrupt and they would lose their jobs. There was a quarrel, and the two took the opportunity to leave.
Hua Yunfei came here last night, seeing that there was no one resisting arrest in Chang's carriage, he didn't show up. He took two police officers and hid on the spot. When the police officers locked Chang Zizai and waited for others to leave, they didn't show up. follow and leave. According to Ye Xiaotian's instructions, Hua Yunfei has been hiding on the back hillside, and Sun Rui and Shi Jin were discovered by them as soon as they moved.
Sun Rui and Shi Jin stopped and walked, looking back from time to time, Hua Yunfei and the three were hiding in the bushes on the hillside, how could they find out. If there is a small mountain village behind this mountain, then it is not surprising that there is such a small road on the mountain, but behind this mountain is just a group of undulating strange rocks.
Those stones are mostly blue-black in color and have different shapes, with only a small amount of weeds and shrubs growing in the middle. It is not easy to walk among them. Sun Rui and Shi Jin passed through the group of strange rocks all the way, turned around the corner of the mountain ahead and disappeared.
The way they went down the mountain was full of rocks, and it was not easy to cover their bodies, so Hua Yunfei and two policemen squatted patiently in the bushes without moving, just watching their whereabouts from a distance, and waited for them to disappear on the mountain. At the corner, Hua Yunfei quickly said to the two arresters: "You wait here, I'll go and have a look!"
The ability of the two fast climbers to climb mountains and mountains was not as good as his, so they nodded in agreement, and Hua Yunfei jumped out of the grass and rushed down the mountain like flying. Although this section of the mountain road is difficult to walk, Hua Yunfei is as light and agile as a spirit ape.
After he quickly chased down the mountain and turned the corner of the mountain, he saw a long narrow valley in front of him. There was a stream in the middle. The water surface was wide but not deep. The deepest part was only up to his knees. , Stones of various shapes.
Hua Yunfei frowned. Although the mountain road was difficult, it didn't take much time for him. It took only a while, so why did those two people disappear at all
Hua Yunfei held his hands carefully, and groped forward close to the corner of the mountain, but he could only walk more than ten feet away, and suddenly found a dark cave beside him, with vines hanging upside down, very secretive.
