You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

"The fish is hooked."

Outside the Qingquan County militia camp, Qi Xiao smoothed the hair on Haidong Qing's shoulder and handed the note in his hand to Feng Xi, who was grilling meat next to him.

The fish he was talking about was hooked. It was the display of the Twelve Flower Gods in Qingzhou for several days, as well as the secret propaganda of his secret guards and secret dragon guards, that finally attracted the attention of the major families in Shengjing.

Because of the seeds Feng Xi had planted at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the upper-class female relatives in the capital had long been interested in those four bottles of special fragrance.

Some of them chose to attack Feng Xi in the palace, while others naturally thought that Feng Xi got it from somewhere else, so they sent people to search everywhere.

And obviously, the Southland, which is rich in fragrant dew, must be their primary target.

So as soon as the news was released, those interested people rushed to Qingzhou Fucheng and began to compare the twelve flower gods in the Sujia Incense Shop with the mysterious fragrance mentioned by the owner.

It happened that the Chen family was also pushed to the limit, and they finally found gangsters to take action against the Su family.

Now, the number of Twelve Flower Goddess, which was already "not many", has "diminished sharply", and those noble people who want to get a set have to grab it.

"Tsk, as expected of you, you all have a dirty mind when it comes to tactics."

After putting down the note, Feng Xi immediately looked at Qi Xiao with a sneer and said:

"I think that in addition to the three sets I proposed to auction at the beginning, we have to separate these three sets! We will auction the first two sets openly, and we will auction the last set in groups for each season for them to have fun with!"

Qi Xiao: "?"

"You said you have a dirty mind for playing tactics? What do you mean by this? My princess..."

Her Royal Highness a certain princess immediately rolled her eyes at her consort and said:

"Am I being tactical? I call it human nature to be evil!"

Qi Xiao: "..."

If you are bad, you are justified, right?

But I have to say that Phoenix is ​​very skilled at defrauding people of their money.

Especially the last secret auction, Qi Xiao felt that it was definitely more profitable than the open auction that had just emerged in Dazhao.

As for those who want to prevent them from making money, they are not far away from trouble.

And the fact is just as Qi Xiao thought, at this moment, the Qingzhou prefect who only has a relationship with them is one of the top two:

"Don't worry, you adults. I will definitely teach those gangsters a lesson and make them reveal the real culprit behind the scenes!"

"It's too much. In broad daylight, these gangsters are so bold! Please ask my brother to put in a good word for me in front of your master, saying that this is a dereliction of duty by a low-ranking official."

"How can our government office unite with the people behind the scenes? Although I am not an unparalleled honest official, I will not be so greedy. I don't dare, I don't dare..."

Seeing his lord nodding and bowing his head to send off waves of people, his face turning blue and white, the head catcher Wang Xu and others who had frequent contacts with the Chen family did not even dare to raise their heads.

Because they didn't understand until now why their elders suddenly stopped standing up for the Chen family and had been suppressing them recently to prevent them from participating in the struggle between the Su family and the Chen family.

My lord, who is that?

That is someone who can make money in the officialdom and at the same time protect himself wisely!

Can people not have any ability to settle down and make a living?

They are just stupid, they actually think that the Su family has been bullied by the Chen family for so many years, and the Chen family is now close to a high official in the capital, so they will definitely be fine this time.

However, none of the names that those people revealed just now were from the capital, and all of them began to wipe the sweat with their official robes.

"Wang Xu, Wang Xu, you are good people, you are all good people!"

After sending away the last group of people who were held accountable, Feng Taiyuan finally said sternly to all the government officials: "Go to the government for trial now! No matter what means you use, you must let those ruffians reveal the mastermind to the government tomorrow! If there are any mistakes in the public trial of the Japanese government, you are the only one who can ask questions!"

"Yes!"

Seeing all the government officials rushing towards the cell in despair, Feng Taiyuan finally brushed down his tea cup angrily.

Early the next morning, everyone in the Chen family was awakened by a burst of noise.

As the head wife, Yunxiang was just about to put on her clothes and go out to reprimand the servants when she saw the woman who was serving her running quickly and shouted anxiously:

"It's not good, madam! The government office, there is someone coming from the government office..."

Upon hearing that it was someone from the government office, Yunxiang's heart, which had been rising because of her mother-in-law's expression, suddenly dropped.

The Chen family has always been on good terms with the government office. Half of the people in the government office have taken money from the Chen family and done some small things for the Chen family.

So what’s so scary about government offices?

Even if something bad happened, wouldn't they just use some money to ward it off?

Who knows what the mother-in-law will say next:

"They said they were here to arrest the person responsible for the smashing of the Sujia Incense Shop yesterday. Our master is here to hear the trial..."

"what!"

Under the scorching sun, there were crowds of people outside the Qingzhou Mansion Office.

Above the high hall, Feng Taiyuan, the prefect of Qingzhou, was wearing an official robe. The people kneeling below the hall were none other than a group of gangsters with bruised noses, swollen faces and red eyes, as well as the ashen-faced head of the Chen family, Chen Qian, and a steward of the Cheng family.

"Master Magistrate, what we brothers say is true. If the Chen family hadn't given us money to smash up the store, how could we have the courage?"

"Yes, Lord Magistrate Mingjian, it was this steward who came to see us, and he even said that this was the intention of their master."

The gangsters who looked arrogant yesterday and seemed to want to catch them were now looking at Feng Taiyuan and all the government officials with trembling eyes.

It is true that the manner in which these people forced confessions last night was so terrifying that they were unable to resist at all.

After all, life is more important than money. Everyone has a balance in their hearts, right?

"Where are you, the manager of the Chen family? What do you have to say?"

Seeing Feng Taiyuan looking at him, the steward of the Chen family instinctively glanced at his master, Chen Qian.

To be honest, they didn't know what it was about until now.

Why is it that the prefect, who was always facing them before, is now standing up for the three people of the Su family?

Gritting his teeth, the steward was just about to accept the blame in Chen Qian's warning eyes when Feng Taiyuan sneered:

"I see that you don't want to tell the truth anymore. Come here, drag this criminal down and beat him up for thirty times. I'll see if he wants to kill him or not!"

After hearing this, all the government officials immediately stepped forward and held down the steward, swinging the sticks in their hands harder and harder.

You must know that there is knowledge in playing the game.

Even if the person is hit a hundred times, his butt will be bruised, but his body will be fine.

But once each of these strokes is taken seriously, even ten strokes can cost a person half his life.

This is the case for the current steward of the Chen family.

Before I even hit the tenth mark, I was sweating profusely and shouting:

"Mr. Prefect, spare your life. I'll recruit, I'll recruit. It was our master who asked me to find these gangsters. He, he just wants to bring down the Su family..."

Whoa!

The moment the steward revealed the truth, the case was sealed. (End of chapter)
