The rise of the poor

Chapter 763 Surprise and Countermeasures

Not long after noon, Jia Langzhong returned to Taicang from the outside, and went straight to Zhang Guanku's office room with a serious face.

Soon, all the important officials in Taicang were called into the room by Zhang Guanku.

After hearing the news brought by Jia Langzhong, everyone in Taicang opened their mouths in surprise, a little unbelievable.

According to their previous speculation, the people from Dongchang came to monitor Zhu Pingan to prevent Zhu Pingan from escaping like other officials of the Taicang inspection team.But I didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an went to Xiyuan to ask for the people from Dongchang!
This upside-down contrast surprised everyone in Taicang, and at the same time they couldn't help thinking about it.

"He Zhu Ping'an's head was caught by the door, and he went to Xiyuan to ask Dongchang Fanzi to watch him?!"

"What is he doing all this hard work?!"

"Could it be that Zhu Pingan deliberately asked people from the East Factory to participate in the inspection, so that it can be guaranteed that even if something goes wrong in the future, Zhu Pingan can rely on the certificate of the East Factory to take care of himself?"

"Could it be that this guy really found out something, and he went to Xiyuan to ask the people from East Factory to protect the account book just for fear of accidents?"

"Impossible, how could he, Zhu Pingan, find out the problem? Our Taicang account books are all made by the 'Ghost Hand Zhang'. The accountants in the entire capital can't find any problems after checking for a month. He doesn't know a single calculation. It's impossible, absolutely impossible to find out the problem just yesterday, for the boy who beat him."

"Could it be that Zhu Ping'an is playing tricks? Wanting to get some benefits from us?"

"Yes, I think what Mr. Zhang said makes sense. The purpose of becoming an official in the imperial examination is for the sake of prosperity and wealth. He Zhu Pingan did this. Hehe, he has a big appetite..."

Everyone in Taicang expressed their opinions and disagreed, but many people expressed vigilance, doubts and worries about Zhu Pingan's abnormal behavior.

"If you want me to say, if you want to have a long night and not many dreams, let's just give Zhu Ping'an directly..." Zhao Langzhong was cruel, and he stretched out two fingers on his neck He made a gesture of cutting his throat.

"No, no, it's bloody... Besides, the people in the East Factory are guarding, how to do it, and if Zhu Ping'an is killed in Taicang, we can't afford to walk around. But if it is outside Taicang He, Zhu Ping'an, obviously had been prepared for a long time. Every time, two guards followed him closely. These two guards are not simple. Qiu Babi from the Shenji Battalion is not their three-in-one enemy."

As soon as Zhao Langzhong finished speaking, a treasurer in Taicang expressed his objection. He witnessed the scene of Liu Dadao and Liu Mu fighting with the soldiers of Shenji Battalion, and he knew that Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were very skilled.

The Shenji Battalion is the elite of the Ming elite, and even the well-trained soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were easily overthrown by Liu Mu and Liu Dadao. Four or five ordinary people would not be able to get close to Liu Mu and Liu Dadao. Excluding the assassination of more than a dozen individuals, it would be a small battle. This is within the sphere of influence of the capital. There is such a big commotion at the feet of the emperor, no matter how careful the cover-up is, it will definitely be found out.

"Hehe, if he is poisoned, Zhu Ping'an is a reincarnation of a rice bucket. Last time, he almost licked the plate of stewed chicken. People are iron and rice are steel. It is impossible for him, Zhu Pingan, not to eat, right? Just like him reincarnated like a starved pig, cook him a few good dishes mixed with ingredients, and he will definitely let his legs fly to the west."

An official in Taicang who was better than Zhao Langzhong proposed to kill Zhu Pingan with poison.

"Stop it, the food we sent from Taicang poisoned Zhu Ping'an, how can we get away with it, no, no..."

After hearing this, everyone in Taicang shook their heads, feeling that this person's suggestion was less reliable than Zhao Langzhong's.

"Of course I thought of this, but what if Zhu Ping'an was poisoned to death by a cook in Taicang who had an old grudge with Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an's first meal in Taicang was cooked by this cook, and Zhu Ping'an hated it. The food was unpalatable, and the cook was called to yell at him, which made the cook grit his teeth in hatred for Zhu Ping'an. In addition, the most important point was that Zhu Ping'an took advantage of his power and robbed the cook's unmarried concubine outside. After doing it for two hours, he poisoned Zhu Pingan to death, hehe, the motive, witnesses and material evidence are complete, this is his personal grievance between Zhu Pingan and the cook, what does it have to do with us in Taicang?"

The official who made the suggestion just twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, a confident smile spread across his face, and then said the suggestion just now, without haste.

"Really? When did Zhu Pingan have such a big conflict with our cook? Why don't I know, didn't he say the food was delicious last time?" Someone asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I don't know, but that's not the point. The point is that after Zhu Ping'an was poisoned, the truth will be what the cook says. There is no proof, hehe..." The official who made the suggestion smiled confidently.

As long as they can afford enough money, even ten cooks can be found, let alone one cook to replace the dead ghost.

"Well, I think it will work."

"Although it's a bit unreasonable, there is a way to heaven and he doesn't take it, but he walks in when there is no way to hell. If you want to blame it, you can blame him for wading through this muddy water. He also took this step by himself."

"Dead friends, don't die poor..."

Many people expressed their agreement to the official's proposal just now.

But in the next second, Liu Siku's words dispelled everyone's idea.

"It doesn't work." Liu Siku looked at the official who made the suggestion and shook his head.

"Why?" asked the officer.

"In the morning, Mr. Zhang asked me to stare at Zhu Ping'an. I watched from the back window in the room not far from Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an was very cautious. He didn't touch anything we sent from Taicang. He didn't even take a sip of tea, snacks, food, etc., as if he had been on guard against us for a long time." Liu Treasurer shook his head and said.

After Liu Siku finished speaking, Mr. Zhang who proposed to poison Zhu Ping'an sighed and gave up.

"If you ask me, it's the worst policy to beat and kill. Whether he, Zhu Pingan, can find out the problem is another matter, but killing an imperial court official is undoubtedly a serious crime, and will definitely be pursued forever. Even There are all witnesses and material evidence, which can prove that it has nothing to do with us in Taicang, but we are the first people to doubt us!"

"I think so too. He, Zhu Pingan, has spent so much time and effort, nothing more than seeking money and getting promoted. A poor village has settled down. If we casually reveal some scum through our fingers, it will be astonishingly rich to him. When the time comes, we will master him." If it is the handle, then he Zhu Pingan has not become a dog we raised..."

"Well, that makes sense..."

The discussion of people in Taicang gradually changed from eradicating dissidents to inducing assimilation, and then gradually gained a consensus.
