Chapter 1417
Iron is a military resource and has always been controlled by the imperial court. If a businessman wants to do pig iron business, he must report to the Yamen.

The Su family reported it, but the amount reported was wrong, only 340 catties were reported, but the pig iron found was more than 300 catties, a full thousand catties more!

Selling a thousand catties of pig iron privately is enough to copy the Su family three times according to the criminal law.

The head of the guard team almost went crazy with joy, he didn't expect to find out the evidence against the Su family, so he hastily ordered someone to seal the warehouse, sent a yamen servant back to the government office to report the letter, and brought the other yamen servants straight to the Su family.

Mr. Su was worrying at home whether he should give money to Lin Su and the others to expiate their sins, when he saw Captain Wei and the others rushing in, he hurriedly asked, "Why did Captain Wei come here suddenly? Could it be that the Lin family has already given the silver to expiate the crime? Can the three brothers, mother and son come out?"

The head of the guard team smiled: "Mr. Su, your news is too ill-informed. Your good son-in-law Lin Youfu has been arrested. Now we are here to arrest your Su family boy. Hurry up and go to the yamen with us!"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Su couldn't understand more and more, could it be: "Lin Youfu committed other serious crimes, and he even ransacked the Su family's house?"

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Mr. Su was so angry that he poked the ground with his cane, and cursed: "Good thing you Lin Youfu, I didn't realize that you are a vicious beast!"

He hurriedly said to the head of the Wei team: "Boss Wei, the Su family is a family of good deeds, and they don't bother to associate with the Lin family. The old man has already severed ties with the Lin family and exiled the Lin Su family. The Su family has nothing to do with the Lin family. , and ask the head of the guard to investigate clearly!"

"Ming Cha?" The head of the guard team almost died of laughter: "Mr. Su, you really know how to disassociate yourself from the relationship, but it is a pity that the Lin family who came to arrest your family today has nothing to do with the Lin family. The crimes committed by your family are not small. Do you know who is implicating whom?"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Su was startled: "My Su family's business is all well-known, and all the children of the Su family are good, and no one has made trouble!"

The head of the guard: "You said that no one committed a crime, so no one committed a crime? We know that there are more than 1000 catties of pig iron hidden under the floor of your Su family's dock warehouse. More than 1000 catties, the whole family can be beheaded!"

He said again: "I didn't see that your Su family is so bold, you forgot about the Tong family's affairs? You think that Ming Shaoqing killed too few Tong family members, and your Su family wants to make up the number?"

Old man Su's face turned pale when he heard it, and he almost passed over: "What, there is pig iron in the warehouse at the Su's wharf?!"

The Su family does iron ingot business, but they only help to transport the iron ingots for official families and aristocratic families who can sell iron, and they dare not sell it privately.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged, the Su family didn't hide pig iron privately!" Elder Su cried out in tears.

The head of the guard didn't care, and asked the yamen servants to tie up people directly: "Mr. Su, don't cry out for injustice. They have found pig iron from your warehouse. It's useless for you to shout loudly. Hurry up and go to the yamen with us."

Dozens of yamen servants acted quickly, and quickly tied up the male of Mr. Su's family.

But Su Da was not there.

"Where's Su Da?" The head of the guard team asked: "He is the grandson of the Su family. He is more important than the other grandchildren of the Su family. We must find him."

But Su University seemed to have evaporated from the world. The government servants searched the Su family's house, Zhuangzi, shop, and other courtyards, but they couldn't find Su University.

"Oh, needless to say, he must have absconded in fear of crime." The prefect Shi immediately ordered people to close the city gate of Linhe Prefecture, sealed off the pier across the river, and personally led people to search the Fucheng and pier.

After searching for a day and a night, I finally found Su Da who was pretending to be a fisherman on a fishing boat.

Su Da was escorted back to the government office, and the magistrate Shi immediately went to the court for interrogation. After the torture went on, Su Da couldn't bear it, so he recruited them all.

The pig iron in Su's warehouse was indeed hidden by him.

Some people told him that the world is too chaotic nowadays, and the rich and big families in the south of the Yangtze River urgently need pig iron to make weapons for self-defense.After the Tong family was ransacked, a batch of pig iron was left behind. As long as he was brave enough to help secretly sell it to Jiangnan, he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"The man said that the Tong family is all dead, and Ming Shaoqing has returned to the capital. The Tong family's affairs are considered to be complete, and the case of the Tong family has just been concluded. Now it is the government's lastest control over iron blocks. When you are slack, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly sell the pig iron and get rich."

Su Da said everything, and finally cried: "Caomin was also bewitched by others, I will never dare again, please forgive Caomin once."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed.

Shi Zhifu sneered: "Su Da, don't talk about your crimes, even Ming Shaoqing can't help you, and begging for mercy is useless."

He said again: "You only said that you were bewitched by others, but who is the one who bewitched you? You are not afraid of death, so you deliberately said that the mastermind wanted to get rid of the crime?"

"No, Caomin didn't lie, please don't kill me, magistrate!" Su Da thought of the whole family of Tong's family being beheaded, he was so scared that he couldn't stop begging for mercy.

Old man Su was so angry that he almost died on the spot. He who was escorted to kneel in the courtroom yelled at Su: "Stop talking nonsense like that, hurry up and tell me who is the name of the person who gave you pig iron and asked you to resell it? Where is it now?" !"

That talent is the key to the Su family's crimes and meritorious deeds, otherwise all the faults will be blamed on Su Da's head, and his Su family's fate will be the same as that of the Tong family.

After hearing this, Su Da shut up quickly, calmed himself down, thought about it for a while, and gave him a name and an address.

Shi Zhifu immediately sent someone to look for it, but that place was a Taoist temple, and there was no one Su Da said in it. After searching, no pig iron was found.

The people who came back told Zhifu what they had found, and Shi Zhifu was so angry that he ordered Su Da to beat him up.

However, Zhifu Shi felt that Su Da did not lie, that the person behind it existed, but he ran away long ago, and they were all in vain.

There is no other way but to blame everything on Su Da. Su Da is responsible, and the entire Su family is ruined.

When Lin Guangtong, Lin Sushi, and Lin Yueyun heard the news in prison, they couldn't bear the blow and passed out.

Aunt Feng was the only one who was so happy that she didn't expect that the government would be able to find out such a big case as Su's smuggling of pig iron with just a few nonsense words.

She has done meritorious deeds, and she has done meritorious deeds!

"I have done meritorious service. I want to see the magistrate, and I want to get out!" Aunt Feng shouted in the prison, but unfortunately she couldn't see the prefect because her voice broke.

It was only after she threatened the wall that she got a reply from the prefect.

The head of the guard team came to the prison and told Aunt Feng: "Master Zhifu said that one of the girls in that batch of children is an official lady. Your sister and brother trafficked the official family. The crime will be aggravated. Even if you do meritorious service, you will not be exonerated. Wait, wait for the next year to be beheaded after February [-]."

Chinese New Year is almost here, and there will be no beheading before the Chinese New Year and the first lunar month, and all the work of beheading will be postponed until the second month of February when the dragon raises its head.

Look, how kind the government is.
