Chapter 94 094 Jiangnan Case (10)

Regarding Qingxi gambling, Ye Zhi thought that Pei Shaoqing would find an opportunity to do something, and was about to go back to the small courtyard to get ready to rest, but Bai Lang turned around like magic. Swords and guns were instantly surrounded and controlled the entire Qingxi Bieyuan.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Qingxi Bieyuan was flying and jumping, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, fleeing, jumping up, but all tried in vain, and all the gamblers were stopped by the officers and soldiers.

When all the gamblers were under control, the magistrate of Yangzhou ran to Pei Jingning to salute and plead guilty, "The official Lu Zhijin has seen Pei Shaoqing, and all the gamblers in the Qingxi courtyard have been arrested, and none of them escaped. Please show me, my lord."

Pei Jingning was wearing a black brocade robe, with a white jade girdle tightly clasped around his thin waist. His gestures and gestures were all dignified and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him.

He stood indifferently with his hands behind his back, staring down at a group of captured gamblers, his eyes narrowed. These gamblers were all wealthy merchants, mostly salt merchants and water transporters.

"Shut them all in, don't let anyone leak out."

"Yes, my lord."

Lu Zhizhou was about to turn his fat body around and direct his subordinates to do things.

Pei Jingning's faint voice sounded: "Lord Lu, Mr. Pei hopes that all the gamblers caught tonight will enter the Yangzhou prison. If one is missing..."

Although the words are calm and calm, but the words are majestic and fierce, which makes people intimidated.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly.

Yeats quietly looked at Mrs. Lu, who was plump and handsome with white eyes, with a respectful and cautious look on his face, but the corner of his mouth indifferently revealed his state of mind at the moment. He didn't listen to Pei Shaoqing's words at all, maybe he thought it was The boss habitually told me!

Yeats frowned, is this an official courtesy?She was just a small investigator, and she really didn't understand these things. She quietly stood behind Pei Jingning, hiding in his shadow, acting as a background board, a little transparency without any sense of existence.

Pei Jingning glanced at Lu Zhizhou, all his delicate expressions fell into his eyes, and he walked calmly, with his hands behind his back.

"My lord, I have prepared a different house for you, and I would like to ask you to step down and move your lord..."

"No need." Pei Jingning directly refused, "It's very quiet here, I like it very much."

quiet?

Everyone looked at the gambling den that looked like a vegetable market just now, it turned out that the adults arrested them just because they wanted to be quiet!

Relying on the money in his pocket, a big businessman shouted, "My lord... my lord, the little man's rudeness has disturbed your peace, please give me a chance to apologize..." Then Ming shouted: My lord, as long as you Let me go for as much money as you want.

The key is that all the businessmen behind him nodded. The big merchants meant what they meant. Isn't it just getting caught playing two tricks? If you want money, just say so, we can afford it.

Yeats: ...

Pei Jingning didn't stop at one step, completely ignoring the flock of ducks behind him who were clamoring like in a pond.

Seeing that the high officials in Beijing ignored him, Dashang immediately moved to Lu Zhizhou, "My lord... my lord... this is a real casino, it's not illegal for us to come in and play a few games, you can't arrest us, let us go quickly ..."

"Yeah, let us go quickly..."

Yeats followed behind Pei Jingning, looking behind while walking, these businessmen knew Lu Zhizhou well, maybe they gave gifts during Chinese New Year, and they were even closer than she thought.

Master Lu quietly looked at the back of Pei Shaoqing who was walking away, and said righteously, "You are usually famous people everywhere, and you must teach your children and grandchildren not to go whoring or gambling at home, but you can't do things that are harmful to public morale. I was caught by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Lu can't help you, come here, and put them all in prison."

"Master Lu...Master Lu...we have friendship..."

"My lord, it's okay to inform my family that I've been arrested..."

……

Entering the small private courtyard, the voices behind him finally became inaudible.

Yeats shook her head, her bedroom was at the other end of the corridor, and she was about to turn around when Master Pei stopped.

"My lord—" Yeats had no choice but to stop, and bowed his hands.

Pei Jingning looked down at her from above.

"..." Yeats was confused, what did the boss want to say?
Pei Jingning frowned slightly, didn't this little woman want to ask?

"..." Yeats felt that Master Shaoqing had something to say, so he listened carefully.

Four eyes facing each other.

Big eye to small eye.

Pei Jingning: ...

Yeats didn't know.

The cold wind blew through the dead branches, whistling.

Yeats trembled coldly, finally couldn't hold someone back, and smiled: "My lord, good night!"

I only said hello in the morning, I didn't hear that there was a hello in the evening, brother Ye was tired all day, he was lost, Teng Chong was about to help remedy it, Bai Lang came in from outside, "My lord, Luo Qiniang from the Qingfeng Bieyuan is asking to see you."

Pei Jingning raised his eyes, and said two words coldly: "No see!"

When arresting people just now, Luo Qiniang was controlled by Pei Jingning's guards in the emergency room, and she didn't even have the chance to come out to see Lu Zhizhou. Although she knew that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was not her, what could she do, but as Qingxi Bieyuan She is the head of the family on the bright side, she has to ask the master to understand.

"My lord...you can't do this, the concubine's other courtyard has formal procedures, but it's not against the law, you can't do this..."

The private courtyard door was closed tightly, and Luo Qiniang was allowed to yell, no one paid any attention to her.

Yeats took the opportunity to go back to his room to rest.

Pei Jingning's face was so cold that a person with cold body could freeze into an ice lump.

Teng Chong waited for Master Shaoqing to return to his room, then sneaked to the door of Yeats' room, knocked on the door, "Brother Ye..."

"Sleep, I have something to say tomorrow."

Teng Chong said, "I can't bear it."

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it."

Teng Chong begged her, "Good brother Ye, just tell me why Mr. Pei did it so quickly. Could it be related to the case a year ago? The murderer is among these gamblers?"

"I don't know if the murderer is the murderer or not, but why you want to arrest these people, you will know in two days."

"I don't know, that's why I came to ask you. If I don't ask, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Then sit overnight." Yeats yawned, "I'm going to sleep."

Little brother Ye was determined not to open the door for him, and Teng Chong had no way to do it. It seemed that today's curiosity could not be satisfied.

In the early morning of the second day, the entire Qingxi Bieyuan was quiet, as if no one lived there.

After breakfast, Ye Zhi asked Pei Jingning for instructions, "My lord, I want to go to Tao Ran's secluded residence for a walk."

Bai Lang took the cloak from the hanger and put it on the master.

As if he was about to go out, Yeats had just guessed that he might go to Yangzhou Yamen, but he didn't expect him to say two words lightly: "Together."

Yeats was really surprised, and hurriedly reminded, "My lord, there are hundreds of rich and big merchants, are you so relieved to hand them over to the magistrate of Yangzhou?"

Ye Xiaozhi was quite worried, but Pei Jingning's mood suddenly changed as if it was October outside, and the corner of his mouth raised: "I have nothing to worry about."

"..."
