The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 20

"Master Xu, what are these?" Song Yaming pointed to him the gold seal in his hand: "If I remember correctly, the batch of gold ingots lost in Suzhou a while ago were cast in Tianbao year, right? How do you explain?" ?”

Xu Yurong's legs were weak, but his small eyes were spinning desperately.

He is also an old, treacherous and cunning fellow. Fortunately, he got through with his son Xu Changfeng before, and quickly answered according to the countermeasures he had planned: "Master Xu, I am wronged! You also know that the old minister's family was originally in business, and then my father went through hardships. I switched careers to become an official, but my family’s business has never been put on hold, and has been handed over to the old housekeeper. The gold is all accumulated. In the past, Suzhou Baoyin Commercial Bank gave high interest, so the old minister asked his second son to store the gold in the commercial bank Middle. Changfeng, go get the voucher."

Song Yaming snorted, he didn't believe it.

A few days ago, Suzhou Baoyin Commercial Bank lost a large number of gold and silver notes, most of which were cast in the year of Tianbao.This extraordinarily serious theft was reported to the state capital, and the state government reported it to the central government, which was responsible for the investigation.But the thief's hands and feet were very clean. After searching for so long, there was no clue at all. So far, he has not recovered a single piece of gold.

Relying on his intuition from being an official for many years, he could tell that this theft case might have something to do with the Xu family.

Xu Changfeng came back soon, and handed over the two blank papers to Song Yaming.

Xu Yurong bowed his body and explained: "Master Song, please look at this first one. It is the voucher when it was deposited at that time. It is clearly written on it. There are a total of 370 taels of gold and 4000 taels of silver notes. This is the first one. The second one is the voucher when I took it out a few days ago, the absurd thing caused by that worthless Xu Changhai in my family, the money is not used, so it is temporarily stored in the warehouse."

Song Ya carefully checked the vouchers in his hand. There were black and white letters and signatures, and the signature seals were all there, and they were not fake.

He checked the date and found that the gold was taken five days before the theft. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Xu County magistrate took so much gold and silver, why? And why was it useless?" Song Yaming caught the loophole in Xu Yurong's words and asked.

Xu Yurong blushed and coughed.

Song Yaming's entourage quietly clung to his ears, and briefly talked about the fact that the original eldest son of the Xu family regretted his marriage and framed his fiancee. .

The performance assessment of officials in the Great Wei Dynasty was very strict. Although the conduct of officials' children was not included in the scope of assessment, it was one of the references for the promotion of inspectors.This child of Xu Yurong is so virtuous, and after his wife was disfigured, he can't wait to divorce his wife and help his concubine. One can imagine his own character, how disgusting he is!
But in this way, Xu Yurong's words are right, could it be that he really wronged him?

Song Yaming felt that something was very wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he reluctantly returned the two receipts to Xu Changfeng.

Xu Changfeng took the note, and secretly exchanged a look of triumph with Xu Yurong, both heaving a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of Wei Shi, who was watching coldly, a sly smile flashed across his eyes.

Just be proud of yourself, when you cry later!Yun Ge's trick is one link after another, he is waiting to see this group of people crying and begging for mercy!

The Xu family had just experienced a fire, so there must be many urgent matters to deal with. Wei Shi and others were inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they all left.

Song Yaming was Xu Yurong's superior, and Xu Changfeng became Wei Shi's dog meat friend again, and both father and son sent them out.When going out the gate, Song Yaming subconsciously wanted Wei Shi to go first, but Wei Shi pushed him out of the door first.Xu's father and son didn't see his little move, but Song Yaming was frightened into a cold sweat.

At this moment, another group of people came to Xu's house from the street ahead, and the leader was Shen Congshan.

He was obviously surprised to see so many people in Xu's house.When he saw that the one standing at the front was Mr. Song, the inspector, his face suddenly settled down, and he stepped forward to salute: "See Mr. Song, Mr. Xu!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Yurong frowned.

This Shen Congshan, didn't you see Master Song is here, and he brought so many people here.Last time the unfilial son Xu Changfeng pissed Master Yu off, and he spent a lot of money to get it done.Mr. Song is still Mr. Yu's boss, and I heard that he is the worst at being a man. If Song Yaming is disturbed, his life will be more miserable!
Shen Congshan got up and replied: "My lords, today we have some key clues about the Cangyuan bandit case, but..."

"But what? If you have anything to say, why don't you say it quickly? Mr. Song is here, even if he is someone who is hard to shake, he will handle it impartially!" Xu Yurong and Xu Changfeng looked at each other with joy, and Xu Yurong immediately put on a straight face. drank.

Good guy, it took two days to catch that person, the efficiency is really slow!

But it's good if he catches it. Now, if he doesn't believe it, he won't be able to bring down the Mu family. If the Mu family falls, the house will definitely be ransacked. At that time, he has the final say on how much money to report and how much kickback to get.

Thinking about the gold and silver mountains of the Mu family, he would wake up laughing from his dreams!
A hint of doubt flashed in Shen Congshan's eyes. It seemed that the adults had a premonition of something, but the meaning of the words was a bit puzzling.

Shen Congshan is a rough man who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't turn a corner. He immediately replied: "I tell you two adults. The younger one stayed for two days and finally followed the bandit in Cangyuan Mountain. The thief is very good at martial arts. The younger one chased him." In the middle of the night, the thief had nowhere to escape, and finally hid in a yard. But the little one dared not go in that yard, so he had to come back and ask the adults for instructions!"

"Whose yard?" Song Yaming also had the same doubts as Shen Congshan.

Shen Congshan glanced at Xu Yurong, the latter looked expectant and encouraging, he shook his head, he must have thought wrong, and immediately told the truth: "Master Song, the steward of the courtyard said that the courtyard is Master Xu's other courtyard!"

The doubts in Song Yaming's heart magnified infinitely, bandits, other courtyards, gold and silver... everything seemed to be connected.

Xu Yurong's smug smile froze on his face little by little, the blood on Xu Changfeng's face faded away, and there was imperceptible panic in both father and son's eyes: "Whose other courtyard do you think is it?"

"My lord, the person in charge said it's your other courtyard!" Shen Congshan thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it more emphatically.

But Xu Yurong was so frightened by his voice that his heart jumped out, and he couldn't help denying it: "Bieyuan? What other place?"

Song Yaming snorted again, the preface did not make sense, there must be ghosts in it.

He firmly ordered: "Take us there!"

Xu Yurong, who had almost lost his three souls and six souls, suddenly reacted after hearing this, and stretched out his hand to stop Song Yaming: "Catcher Shen, you are talking about the other courtyard in the north of the city, right? It is used by the Xu family to raise some livestock on weekdays." , A place to grow some fruits and vegetables. Master Song, that place is very messy and dirty, don't go there!"

His words fell into Song Yaming's ears, clearly trying to cover up.

Song Yaming took out his pocket card, waved it in front of Xu Yurong and others, and said word by word: "From now on, everyone in the Jinling County Yamen will be under the command of the Ti Xunfu. If anyone disobeys, they will be held accountable according to the law. Catch the head and lead the way." !"

Immediately, a group of people hurriedly followed Shen Congshan to the other courtyard in the north of the city.

The steward of the other courtyard was about to lock the door, when he saw Shen Congshan coming back, he jumped out arrogantly and scolded: "You are so unreasonable for arresting the head, I told you this is the other courtyard of the Xu family, how dare you come back? , do you think I’m afraid of you if you bring a lot of people with you! Let me tell you, there are plenty of people in my other courtyard, and if we really fight, we may not lose to you people who live in public houses!”

He expected that when Shen Congshan went to Xu's house to ask for instructions, the adults would definitely suppress him, so he really had nothing to fear.

When Xu Yurong, who was surrounded by Song Yaming and others in the crowd, heard this, he couldn't breathe, and almost lost his breath.

Wei Shi chuckled: "Master Xu is so grand in this area, even a servant dares to show the face of the yamen!"

No matter how young the head catcher Shen is, he is still an official. An official represents the royal family more or less. The servants of the Xu family are only one servant, so they are fighting against the head catcher. Isn't it obvious that they don't take the official family seriously? ?

Song Yaming somewhat understood Wei Shi's words, and was really angry when he was moved, and his face immediately turned ugly.

"Blind your dog eyes, open your eyes to see clearly, this is Mr. Song, the chief inspector!" Xu Changfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out of the crowd.

The person in charge suddenly saw Xu Changfeng in the crowd, and was startled. Realizing that he had really kicked the iron plate today, he reacted quickly, and immediately knelt down and slapped his face, saying, "Master Song, Shen Butou, the old slave has a broken mouth, don't be as knowledgeable as the old slave."

Song Yaming ignored him, turned to Shen Congshan and asked, "Is this the one?"

Shen Congshan nodded, and Song Yaming ordered the guards behind him: "Surround the other courtyard, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Wang Han, Chen Chao, you two search around to see if there is a secret passage exit in the other courtyard. If there is, Those who come out of the secret passage will be arrested and interrogated tomorrow!"

The guards broke in and searched the courtyard first.

After a while, the guards found a number of treasures from the other courtyard and piled them in the living room of the other courtyard, which was dazzling.

The faces of Xu's father and son became paler and colder, and their legs were trembling.

Song Yaming grabbed one of the figure paintings and sneered: "This "Shuo Jian Tu" is a famous work by Yan Liben, a great master in the Tang Dynasty. It has been collected by Mr. Ru in Suzhou, and it was listed in the stolen things in the Suzhou newspaper a few days ago. Master Xu, think about it carefully, how do you explain that the stolen things in Suzhou will appear in your other courtyard?"

"My lord, the thief I saw that day is exactly this person!" Shen Congshan escorted a man dressed as a servant, came out from the other courtyard, and reported directly to Song Yaming.

Song Yaming tied up all the people in the other courtyard under his command, and escorted them to the prison of the Tiguan Division to await trial.

He glanced at the Xu family's father and son, and immediately a guard stepped forward to tie up the father and son.

Xu Changfeng has always been spoiled, even though he knew he couldn't help himself now, he still mustered up the last bit of courage and said: "Master Song, my father is an official of the same dynasty as you, and I am the son. Fame! Do you want to know the law and break the law?"
