Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 89 You Are My Grandpa
Before the ink on Lu Da's confession was dry, He Liu said to Lu Da, "Professor Lu Zhen, you have been fooled!"

Lu Da looked surprised: "Tricked?"

He Liu said with a smile: "You gave me all the details of Eunuch Yang to me, the Sixth Imperial Guard of Jinyiwei. You said, if I take this confession, go to Zhejiang City Bosi, hand it over to Eunuch Yang, and tell Eunuch Yang that you sell it to me. How will Eunuch Yang and his godfather, Eunuch Lu, deal with you?"

Lu Da was stunned: "He Liu, you are trying to induce a confession!"

He Liu smiled and said, "You are an ant in my hand now. So what if I lure you to confess?"

Lu Da sighed: "The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! I'm considered to have fallen into the hands of your Sixth Master He!"

He Liu spread out another blank sheet of paper in front of Lu Da, and told him, "Now, write down all the details of your illegal salt sale!"

Lu Da said, "What if I don't write?"

He Liu raised the confession in his hand: "Then I will take the confession you wrote just now to find Yang Jinshui, Eunuch Yang! Oh, and then I will let you go back to Nanjing. Eunuch Yang's godfather, Eunuch Lu, is in charge of the East Factory. The assassins in the East Factory who specialize in secret agents are no worse than the people in Jinyiwei! The people in the East Factory will deal with you!"

Lu Da said: "Your surname is He, who are you scaring! I also have hundreds of brothers in Nanjing! The people in the East Factory will clean me up if they want to clean me up?"

He Liu shook his head: "Haven't you heard that sentence? Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves thinking about you! Dongchang's killers are after you, and there are ten thousand ways to assassinate you. If you can't kill you today, tomorrow Kill. This method can't kill you, so use another method! One day you will be decapitated!"

Lu Da was dumbfounded.What He Liu said was the truth.If Eunuch Lu had issued an order to kill the "Three Tigers", "Three Eagles" and "Eight King Kongs" of Dongchang, he, Lu Da, would have been assassinated sooner or later.

He Liu said again: "If you don't confess the details of your smuggling salt, I will take this confession to Eunuch Yang. You will die. If you confess, I will keep this confession. You still have a chance to survive."

Lu Da asked, "If I confess to myself, wouldn't it be a crime of beheading?"

He Liudao: "You used to be Jin Sanye's subordinate. Jin Sanye is my third brother. Maybe when my third brother comes to me to intercede, I will let you go?"

Lu Da thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll write."

It took Lu Da another half an hour to write a statement.This confession detailed where and how much illegal salt he bought every year, how much salt he bought from Sifang Tea House, and how and where he transported the illegal salt. . . .

After pressing the fingerprints and drawing the pledge, He Liu blew on the ink of the confession, and said, "Very good. Governor Lu Zhen, you can go."

Lu Da was surprised: "Can I go now?"

He Liu jokingly said: "There are too many honored children in Nanjing, who pick quarrels and fight all day long. Only you, Lu Zhen Fushi, live in them. You are not in Nanjing for the past two days. Maybe the honored children in Nanjing will soon It turned into a pot of porridge. Go back to Nanjing City, you!"

Lao Hu unfastened Lu Da's ankles.Lu Da left the woodshed in a daze.

Lao Hu said to He Liu: "Lao Liu, your method of inducing a confession is no less than that of Jin Lao San!"

He Liu hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't tell me! It's better for you, old Hu, to draw fingers! For so many years, it's hard for you to pretend to be a useless old fool. When encountering major events, I only know that you are Sai Zhuge's fortune teller!"

Old Hu chuckled: "Oh, what a fool? My name is Dazhi Ruoyu!"

He Liu asked Lao Hu again: "Who did you find to bring Xiangxiang from Beijing to Jiangnan?"

Lao Hu took out the tin jug, took a sip, and regained the look of the drunk cat in the past: "I have been in Jinyiwei for 40 years, why can't I make a few reliable friends? Don't inquire about it! You seduced me. According to Lu Da's confession, the third master Jin may come looking for him again!"

As Lao Hu expected, Jin Wanguan approached him a day later.

"Liu Liu, you are too dishonest! You took my money and Sang Tian, ​​and even lured Lu Da into confessing!" Jin Wanguan said angrily to He Liu.

He Liu smiled: "Don't get angry, third brother! Sit down and talk about something."

Jin Wanguan said angrily: "Don't be short with my third brother and third brother! Where is the confession? You give it to me! Otherwise, how did you eat Yinzi and Sangtian, and how did I make you spit it out! Also! Your daughter is alone in the Beijing, you are not afraid..."

"Jin Sanbo!" Xiangxiang's tender voice came from outside the hall.

Lao Hu entered the hall with Xiangxiang in his arms, and Lao Hu said: "Oh, the third master is here."

Jin Wanguan looked at Xiangxiang in surprise, and he sighed: "Lao Liu, I can't see that you are quite meticulous in your work!"

Lao Hu said to Xiang Xiang: "Your Uncle Jin wants to discuss important matters with your father. I will take you to the back garden to catch goldfish."

After speaking, Lao Hu left the hall with Xiangxiang in his arms.

Jin Wanguan knew that he couldn't use Xiangxiang to blackmail He Liu.

He Liudao: "Third brother, we are all sensible people. You promised to give me 20 taels of bonus every year. Every year! If I really give up investigating the private salt case and go back to the capital in despair, Commander Lu will withdraw in a rage. I have lost my job...by then I have no job and no right, will you still keep your promise of 20 taels of silver every year? Out of helplessness, I can only lure out Lu Da's confession and use it as a handle In hand!"

Jin Wanguan smiled and said: "Old Six, Old Six, I can see that you are not only greedy, but also extremely good at handling things! Okay! Isn't it just money? Don't worry, Lu Da's confession is in your hands, I don't care Dare to break the promise of 20 taels per year! Let me ask you, when will you return to the capital?"

He Liu smiled: "Third brother, you promised me one more thing, did you forget?"

Jin Wanguan asked strangely: "What's the matter? This year's 20 taels have already been given to you. The production deed of the [-]-mu mulberry garden has also been given to you. What else do you want?"

He Liu laughed loudly: "Didn't you still promise to marry your goddaughter Bai Xiaoyan to me?"

Jin Wanguan glared at He Liu: "This is nothing! Bai Xiaoyan is locked up by you now. I don't care when or how you want to sleep!"

He Liudao: "Miss Bai is all over the country. If I really lose my official position, third brother, you suddenly change your mind and don't want to part with your goddaughter, what should I do?"

Jin Wanguan slapped the table: "What nonsense are you talking about? I give away 20 taels of silver every year, how can I care about a woman?"

He Liu smiled and said: "It's hard to say. Women are worthless in the eyes of those who don't care. But in the eyes of those who care about them, they are worth as much as gold and silver. I mean, I put After the marriage is over, I will marry Miss Bai. After the marriage is over, I will return to the capital!"

Jin Wanguan said angrily: "Cheng Chengcheng! Lv Da's confession is in your hands, so what do you say?"

He Liu made a bow to Jin Wanguan: "Miss Bai is your goddaughter, and from now on, you will be my father-in-law. I should call you daddy!"

Jin Wanguan waved his hands again and again: "Don't mind. You are my father! No, you are my grandfather, you are my own grandfather!"
