Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 111
After Fang Jing left Luhe County, he went to Mingzhou Fucheng.

"The source of the news is reliable?" Tao Tong asked in surprise after hearing Fang Jing's report.

"My lord, we discovered some of the problems after our Fang's firm cooperated with Zhou's Car and Horse Company," Fang Jing said.

"Hmph, these pirates come and go like the wind, and there is nothing the local government can do about them. These lurking pirates should be hacked into pieces." Tao Tong said angrily, "Come here~~"

"My lord, slow down." Fang Jing shouted hastily.

"how?"

"Zhou's Car and Horse Company has been operating in Luhe County for many years, and the relationship is intricate. I am afraid that many people are involved." Fang Jing said.

"You said?" Tao Tong frowned slightly, "Do you think Wei Jiading and Zheng Ling are also involved?"

Wei Jiading is a Deputy Qianhu, who came to Mingzhou Mansion earlier than him, and Zheng Ling is a Wulinwei Baihu in Luhe County. The two of them may have contacted Zhou's car and horse company.

This time, Tao Tong really wanted to eradicate Zhou's car dealership.

Their pirate status is his credit.

Zhou's car and horse business has been in business for decades, and his family has a lot of money, so he can also reap a lot of benefits.

How can he miss such a good thing, and he can't make people ruin a good thing.

"I don't dare to say that I will be implicated in a humble position." Fang Jing replied.

Tao Tong thought for a while and said, "Well, I won't inform them of this matter for the time being. The people I can trust and the people from your two hundred households will go out together. If it turns out that the two of them are not involved, you can Give them some credit."

"Yes."

Fang Jing couldn't help sneering in his heart.

As long as it is confirmed that Zhou's car and horse company has colluded with the pirates, Wei Jiading and Zheng Ling may have a hard time, and they will have to bear some responsibility.

This kind of responsibility can be large or small, and it is entirely up to Tao Tong to report to the higher authorities.

It can be said that the lives of Wei Jiading and Zheng Ling are in Tao Tong's hands, and they can only obey Tao Tong's orders.

The Thousand Households of Wulinwei has just been rebuilt, and everyone came from different places, and they didn't have much friendship in the past.

Most of these deputy thousands and hundreds of households are still waiting and watching, even though they seem to be taking orders from Tao Tong, Tao Tong is also very clear that the loyalty of these people to him still remains to be seen.

"Go back immediately and lead someone to sneak into Luhe County, waiting for my order." Tao said.

Fang Jing immediately sent a message to Ding Meng and Jiang Cheng, asking them to take the Wulin Guard from Baihusuo to the county seat of Luhe County.

Since you want to act, then act in full.

At the same time, Fang Jing had already let the people of Tianzihao lurk near the treasure house of the Zhou family.

As expected of being a pirate, Zhou Shu divided his belongings into several shares and put them in different places.

The money in the Zhou mansion is actually only a part, and it is the least part.

After Fang Jing searched for the soul, he knew all these treasure places.

As long as the martial arts guards do something here, they can immediately kill the guards of the Zhou family and take away Zhou Shu's lifetime wealth.

In addition to these, Zhou Shu's ships made Fang Jing jealous.

He already knew that there were more than a hundred ships of all sizes under Zhou Shu's name, and there were more than a dozen large ships, all of which could carry more than a hundred people.

Most of these ships are hidden on several small islands overseas.

For this reason, Fang Jing also sent someone over.

These ships, he must have.

……

"what happened?"

"The martial arts guard handles the case, and idlers avoid it."

Hearing this, the person who opened the courtyard door to probe his head immediately closed the door and retreated into the house.

The Zhou Mansion in Luhe County was full of flames, and the sound of fighting was even more frightening at night, making the surrounding people tremble, for fear that the Wulin Guards would break in.

The yamen servant rushed over and found out that it was the Martial Arts Empress, so he withdrew without a fuss.

Although they often take advantage of the Zhou family, but the Zhou family has provoked the martial arts guards, no matter what it is, they are not able to participate.

"My lord, forgive me, Zhou Huimin escaped."

"Bastard, didn't the Zhou residence be surrounded? Can that old thing fly out?" Tao Tong couldn't help shouting angrily when he heard his subordinates coming to report.

Before attacking the Zhou Mansion, he had already laid a net, and believed that he could catch all the people in the Zhou Mansion, especially Zhou Shu, a sea mouse, he would definitely be able to catch it.

"Zhou Huimin's martial arts is very high, and his subordinates can't resist it." The subordinate explained in a low voice.

"I don't want to listen to the explanation, and immediately send someone to chase me. I want to see people dead and corpses."

Immediately, many martial arts guards chased in the direction Zhou Huimin fled from.

Tao Tong stepped into the Zhou Mansion, Fang Jing was one step behind him, and behind him were several other counties of martial arts guards. They were people Tao Tong could communicate with, that is to say, they had completely trusted Tao Tong.

"Don't let go of any corner, check him to the bottom of the sky. See who Zhou Shu has been in contact with, especially the government and Wulinwei." Tao Tong ordered before leaving.

"Master Tao, shall we wait in the lobby?" Fang Jing said.

Tao Tong nodded, he was not in a good mood, he did not expect to be escaped by Zhou Huimin.

No matter how many other people caught, they couldn't compare to catching Zhou Huimin, the leader of the pirates.

Sea Mouse, a character from many years ago, if he dug him out by himself, it would be a great achievement, what a pity.

He knew that it might be difficult for his men to catch sea mice again.

Such an old pirate, looking at his seventies and eighties, is still very vigilant.

Moreover, his martial arts skills were obviously not lost.

If you escape, just escape, the property left by the Zhou family is also the key point.

"My lord, according to the identification of the servants of the Zhou family, Zhou Huimin, Zhou Shu's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all died within three generations." A subordinate came in to report.

"They're all dead?" Tao Tong was stunned for a moment, "How is that possible?"

"The subordinates have already proven their integrity, and indeed they are all dead." The subordinate continued, "Now Zhou Shu has escaped."

"Go down, seize the property of the Zhou family." Tao Tong waved his hand to let him go down.

"Master Tao~~" A person ran in outside with a panicked expression, "Master Tao, what's going on?"

Zheng Ling was out of breath, his head was covered with sweat, and he had obviously rushed all the way here.

When he saw Tao Tong, Fang Jing and several other hundred households present, his heart sank continuously.

I am the Baihu of Wulinwei in Luhe County. What does it mean that I have not received any news about such a big incident?
"Hmph, Zhou Huimin was originally a pirate and a mouse, and I am arresting him now." Tao Tong snorted coldly.

Zheng Ling's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Lord Tao, you have neglected your duty, and you are guilty of a crime. You let the inferior thieves hide in the city. You deserve to die."

Zheng Ling kowtowed again and again, his head hit the floor tiles with a 'dong dong' sound, and his skin was ripped apart.

"Master Zheng, you didn't know much about local affairs when you first took office. It's understandable. I will report this matter truthfully. You can rest assured. Get up." Tao Tong said.

"Thank you, sir." Zheng Ling just got up and stood aside, not knowing what to say for a while.

He could only watch other martial arts guards come in and out, and report to Tao Tong.

Zheng Ling's heart kept sinking.

Tao Tong said that he just took office and didn't know much about this matter, but this kind of thing happened on his own territory, so he couldn't escape the responsibility no matter what.
