Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2236 Turmoil
Furthermore, don’t worry about Zhang Mingpu being the Sima of Suzhou. All the yamen servants and soldiers in Suzhou city are controlled by him. He has been operating in Suzhou for many years. Wang's industry, the only way to transfer troops from outside.

……

There was chaos in the government office.

Although the rain outside gradually subsided, an endless stream of officials rushed to the mansion, and there was a long drive at the gate, not only the officials of the mansion were busy, but also many celebrities of the clan gathered here , to listen to the news.

Although Suzhou is the territory of the Jiangnan gentry, the Wang family of Taiyuan is a wealthy family for many generations. They have married and formed alliances with many Jiangnan clans. Now all their properties in Jiangnan have been seized suddenly, and many Jiangnan gentry have been affected. .

These families are all local emperors in the south of the Yangtze River, who have always been pampered and superior to others. The entire Jiangnan officialdom is like a monolith, taking care of each other and supporting each other.

It's just that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered under Fang Jun's hands many times, and educated people don't forget to eat and forget to beat. Hearing that it was the navy master who did it, he was annoyed, but he also tried his best to restrain himself.

Although Fang Erlang is not in Jiangnan at the moment, Su Dingfang has long been regarded by the Jiangnan gentry as Fang Erlang's number one minion. Although he is a little less domineering, he is black-hearted and cruel. Now he is rushing into every city with real knives and guns. If all the properties of the Wang family in Taiyuan are seized, who would dare to step forward easily and beat them directly?

However, each family has a share in the Wang family's industry, and even many industries are dominated by these clans. It is only due to the consideration of affection or allies that the Wang family is allowed to take a share in it, but the Navy It is indiscriminate, as long as it is found that there are members of the Wang family in the property, they will all be seized, and no one will give face!
This is unreasonable!
Although I don't know why the navy had a problem with the Wang family in Taiyuan, but you can deal with the Wang family in any way, and there is no need to implicate us, right?

These industries are all shining money, and you, the navy, are not afraid of choking if you swallow it like this?

But in the end, they were afraid of the domineering of the navy master, and these families sent their children to the government office to inquire about the news and find out what was going on...

Under the rain corridor at the entrance of the government office, more than a dozen disciples sent by the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River gathered together and exchanged news with each other.

This kind of occasion is naturally not suitable for the family's high-profile tasks, so they are just idle children in the family. These people gathered together, first talking about the popular female prostitute outside the Changmen, and then bragging about it The family bought more than a dozen Silla maidservants, and then it was time to talk about business...

"This sailor is becoming more and more arrogant now. I really think that with the title of 'royal', he is the eagle dog of the Tian family? It's too domineering!"

"Who says it's not? At present, in Suzhou City, Haiyu Town, Qiantang and other places, as long as it is found out that the properties in which the Wang family has participated in the shares, they will be seized regardless of indiscriminate! Is there any law for the king? We are doing business seriously. Who did you provoke?"

"Speaking of which, why did the Taiyuan Wang family offend the navy?"

"Well... early this morning, a warehouse in Huating Town exploded, making an earth-shattering noise, and then the entire navy seemed to explode, and all the fast boats came out, sealing the entire Wusong River and half of the Yangtze River , the ships that come and go must be inspected before they can be released. It is said that the children of the Wang family in Taiyuan colluded with the thieves and smashed the thunder stored by the navy..."

"This news is not accurate. The Thunderbolt is such a strictly controlled firearm. How can it be piled up in the warehouse in Huating Town?"

"You don't know about this. Do you know about Arabian war horses? Although my Tang Dynasty does not lack horses, it lacks excellent stallions. The Arabian horses are tall, strong and have good endurance. The navy has not been separated for a few months. They will exchange Zhentianlei with Arabian merchants for Arabian horses, and transport them to Hetao to breed."

"But even so, it has to be unreasonable! Wang's children have caused trouble, and you are looking for Wang's bad luck. Why do you implicate us?"

"Well, brother, what you said is justified, the navy is really domineering! You can go into the government office later, don't talk to the Governor of Su, and accuse him of wrongdoing. We will stand behind you and fully support you!"

"This... ah, there are important matters at home, I will go ahead and find a secluded place outside the gate of Changmen, and I will host a banquet for everyone!"

"Hey, hey, don't go..."

A group of idle children noisyly questioned each other, no one dared to go into the government office and question Su Dingfang face to face, so they all dispersed in a short time, rushing home to report the situation.

……

In the government office, Su Dingfang sits here, and the entire office is silent like a cicada. All the officials dare to step forward and ask him why he is so implicated and lawless, lest he be regarded as a party of the Wang family and be arrested by the navy for torture and interrogation. ,

At this moment, a soldier quickly stepped inside and whispered the latest news to Su Dingfang's ear.

"Wang Jingxun is dead?"

Su Dingfang raised his thick eyebrows, and his voice was a bit high-pitched. He sounded quite surprised and shocked, but his expression didn't show much surprise...

Mu Yuanzuo's eyes were rounded, and he almost screamed.

Isn't Pei Xingjian too cruel?After all, he was a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, but he sent Shangguanyi over there to give him some advice as if he was crushing an ant, but when Shangguanyi came back, Wang Jingxun died on the back...

He naturally thought it was Pei Xingjian's hand, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence?

This kid came from a famous family, and he usually looks gentle and elegant, but his methods are so ruthless. First, he planted Wang Jingxun and stole Zhen Tianlei, and then killed him in prison. Anyway, it was his death without proof. Even more ruthless, Wang Jingxun could be charged with "suicide in fear of crime".

If you die, you die, and you have to implicate the family...

Not only that.

Mu Yuanzuo suddenly remembered that Zhang Mingpu, who had always been at odds with him and relied on the power of his eldest grandson's family to oppose him everywhere, had just gone to the prison to visit Zhang Mingpu, and Zhang Mingpu "suicide in fear of crime"...

hiss!
one stone two bird?
Or frame it?
It's even possible... to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
The more Mu Yuanzuo thought about it, the more he felt that the water was too deep, the more he diverted his thinking, the more he felt shuddering!

When did these young officials become so powerful?
Go against the sky!
After Su Dingfang heard the soldier's detailed report, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists at Mu Yuanzuo, and said, "Wang Jingxun committed suicide in fear of crime, there must be more involvement behind it, it is impossible to say that among the members of the Wang clan arrested today, there is With his co-conspirators, a certain one will go back first to be interrogated and screened, and the stability of Suzhou City will depend on the governor's efforts."

Mu Yuanzuo was speechless. It's not a big deal, so he decided Wang Jingxun's death...

Although he is the governor, in front of a general like Su Dingfang who holds a heavy army, he didn't dare to trust him at all. He quickly stood up and returned the courtesy, saying: "One family doesn't talk about two families, and the governor of Su can do things on his own. With me here, there will be no trouble."

After a pause, he coughed a little, and said vaguely: "Now Wang Jingxun commits suicide in fear of crime. His relatives, friends, associates, and old contacts, everyone may be accomplices with him, so we should carefully screen them out. In Erlang's words, we can't wrong a person. A good man, but we can't let go of a bad man...cough cough...the head of the government office, Shang Guanyi, is usually diligent, smart and quick, and knows everything about the situation in the city. It can do more with less.”

Su Dingfang glanced at Mu Yuanzuo, and nodded expressionlessly: "That's it, very good."

Mu Yuanzuo was overjoyed, and quickly called Shangguanyi over, and told him: "Following Dudu Su's study, you know the situation of the families in the city very well, so you can check and fill in the gaps with Dudu Su, such as Wang Jingxun's recent Anyone who has had contact with them must be listed one by one for the reference of Su Dudu."

Shangguanyi looked at Mu Yuanzuo, met his gaze, and understood in seconds...

"Thank you for your support, the governor, I will definitely assist Su Dudu with all my strength."

"Well, good, let's go!"

Mu Yuanzuo stroked his beard with one hand and smiled all over his face.

Su Dingfang clasped his hands here, without saying much, turned around and left the main hall of the mansion, followed by Shangguanyi, holding an umbrella for him, and when he went down the steps, he said cautiously: "It is said that Zhang Biejia of our mansion went to the prison to visit Wang Jingxun today, The two have been in close contact, and just as Zhang Bie left, Wang Jingxun committed suicide in fear of crime, whether there is any connection between them, I ask Governor Su to examine..."
