I opened a mall in ancient times

Chapter 69 The First Day of Store Opening

"Hire murderers to set fire??" Hearing what the officers and soldiers said, the onlookers were in an uproar.

This is not the kind of situation where gangsters are hired to make trouble. If it was just extortion of money, it is much worse now.

This is directly killing people!

How can this be so!

Originally, the incident of Xihang Commercial Bank touching porcelain everywhere has made people hate it, and no one has caught him. I didn't expect that this would just intensify and plan to kill for money!

"...There is such a thing?" The man in the big black hat raised his eyebrows. He waved to the waiting convoy, signaling them to go first, and then looked over here with his hands behind his back. lively.

He didn't expect to see such a farce when he first came to Hangzhou City.

The person who came was the imperial envoy of the capital, Wei Taiwei, a second-rank official, who is the confidant of the current emperor.

Originally, this kind of situation should hold a commendation meeting with great fanfare, but Luo Chaochao doesn't like to be too conspicuous, and has emphasized from the beginning that he doesn't want to be conspicuous, but in order to show the importance of Luo Chaochao, he can't do nothing To do it, so Emperor Qing sent his confidants to do this.

On the surface it was for the affairs of Kangzhou City, but in private it was for Luo Chao Chao.

The distance between the capital city and Kangzhou city is very considerable, coupled with the need to go to other cities to do some trivial matters on the way, this has dragged on for so long.

But it's better to come early than to come by coincidence. It's no wonder he didn't look at something as bad as arresting people when he first entered the city, or setting fire to the factory.

No one will refuse to eat melon!

There were less than forty people in their group, some of them were driving carriages, and there were also plainclothes officers and soldiers riding horses to protect Wei Taiwei. They pretended to be businessmen and walked from the capital to Kangzhou City. No one doubted it either.

5000 taels of gold is not considered heavy, a car can be pulled here, in order to cover up, they also brought a lot of gadgets from the capital to Kangzhou City, if they can sell it is the best, if they can’t sell it, they will give it as a gift .

"Let's leave all the excuses to the court, and take him away!" The captain waved his hand, and several officers and soldiers behind him stepped forward, and they were about to arrest him and send him to the yamen.

"Wronged! You can't just wrong a good person! We are all good citizens, how could we have done murder and arson? These people must be slandering us, and they just found someone to take the blame and talk about all these dirty things Come to us!" He still wanted to defend himself, but the emotions of the suppressed people began to collapse, as if they finally had a channel to vent, and the pain that had been suppressed burst out at this moment.

"It's you! You arrested my mother and threatened me to kill my mother if I don't help you!"

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately exclaimed.

"Who is this? It's too vicious!" Even Taiwei Wei subconsciously frowned.

"My old father's legs were all discounted by you, and my daughter! You also snatched them away! If I'm disobedient, I'll sell them to the Red Street!"

Red Street is a place similar to Red Light Street. That street is full of various brothels and brothels. Once a woman is sent to this place, it is equivalent to the end of her life.

"My father was beaten to death by them! And my wife! It was also by them...by them..." The remaining two also said immediately, their resentful attitude did not seem to be fake.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at them with unfriendly eyes for a moment, but he quickly hid it. It's a pity that all this was noticed by those who had been looking at him.

"Did you see it? His eyes were so scary just now." The passers-by next to him were also taken aback.

"It must have been something!"

"What are you talking about? How is it possible—"

It was as if some kind of switch was turned on, and the three people who spoke very weakly shouted excitedly, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to do such an outrageous thing!"

"There is still such a thing." Wei Taiwei pondered for a moment.

He has only been here not long ago, but he also knows that this place is under the jurisdiction of Jiedu Envoy Zhou, who has always been aboveboard and will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

These officers and soldiers dared to do this, probably because they wanted to directly wipe out these dirty things;

"You spout blood!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Is it true that you will know if you did it after a thorough interrogation at the Yamen!" The officers and soldiers didn't want to waste time with him.

He is now ordered to arrest people, and there are still people waiting in the yamen, what if there is more trouble if it is delayed?

The members of the Westbound Chamber of Commerce immediately knew that they could not escape, and they also knew that they had to go this time.

Things were just as the three said, all three of their relatives were in their hands, if he was taken away, the officers and soldiers would definitely search the shop and all properties under his name.

Although he felt that these people couldn't find a place for him to shut up, just in case, what should be done was still done.

"Well, I can go with you, but I have such a big shop, you should at least give me some time to deal with the things in the shop." He said as if to retreat.

"Could it be that such a big shop can't operate without you?" The captain also said, "If you don't want to leave by yourself, then we will take you away!"

There was really no other way, shopkeeper Wu could only wink at his servant, and then walked towards the people in the yamen. As a result, the captain saw the two winking at each other, and immediately ordered the servant to be held down as well: "If you have anything to say, go to the court and tell me, what kind of winks are you showing here now?"

As he said that, he took Xiao Er and the boss away together.

It's not very far from the Yamen, the road is mighty, and even the people who watched the whole process went to the Yamen, and attracted other passers-by who were full of curiosity. When they arrived at the Yamen, the outside was already Surrounded by a thick wall of people.

Wei Taiwei also understood the ins and outs along the way.

Especially that textile mill.

He thought that this textile factory was similar to a family workshop, but after hearing passers-by tell him about the nature of this textile factory, he understood why everyone was so angry.

There are thousands of employees in this textile factory, and the wages paid by this textile factory are very high. Although it is usually busy, the boss is nice, the wages are paid in a timely manner, and there are benefits for occasional overtime work. Everyone likes this place and the boss behind it very much. , there are still many people working here, if it really burns down, won't they have no place to make money?

And the boss behind this textile factory is Zhou Jiedushi and Luo Chaochao, the target of his visit this time.

"Is Boss Luo not in the store?" Seeing that there were only a few of them in the courtroom, the onlookers asked in confusion.

"When something like this happens in the textile factory, he must go and have a look." Some people can understand, "I saw him go to the textile factory with another boss this morning. Boss Luo is such a nice person. The reason why he treated Boss Luo like this is because he killed a thousand swords, is it because they don't like Boss Luo making money?"

"Treasurer Wu used to do this kind of thing, and now there are only a few cloth shops in the city, and the cloth is so expensive, maybe it's because the cloth sold in Boss Luo's shop is cheap, and they robbed them of their business. Dry."

"That's right, there are cheap and good cloths to use now, and he sells them so expensively that no one will buy them. In the end, the lard got caught up in his heart and even made a move on Boss Luo! Pooh!"

Taiwei Wei listened and found that Luo Chaochao had a good reputation among the people of Kangzhou City.

When they were in the capital, they always felt that Luo Chaochao was not simple, not everyone could be so indifferent to fame and wealth, put aside so many benefits, and just offer things.

He wouldn't believe that he didn't have other thoughts, and he came to Kangzhou City to see what kind of scheming person the other party was, but he didn't expect him to...

Wei Taiwei looked around in the crowd, took out his badge and handed it to the officers and soldiers on one side. The officer and soldier saw the waist badge and immediately wanted to call for someone, but was stopped by Wei Taiwei: "No, take me in, I have something to ask Lao Zhou."

Both of them belonged to the same camp, and their relationship was not bad. Zhou Jiedushi, who was busy in the government office, heard that someone from the capital had come, and was a little puzzled as to who was here, but when he went out, he turned out to be Wei Taiwei.

"Why are you here?!" Jiedu Envoy Zhou was very pleasantly surprised, "But it's not a coincidence that you came here, I still have something to do here."

"Because of Luo Chaochao, I heard from other people that you have a good relationship with Luo Chaochao."

"Because of Xiao Luo? What's wrong with him?" Seeing that Zhou Jiedu envoy and Luo Chao Chao have such a good relationship, and they still address him in a very intimate tone like Xiao Luo, Wei Taiwei was even more curious about Luo Chao Chao.

"The officials know about Luo Chaochao." Wei Taiwei said in a low voice, "I came this time with a reward, and the things that Lao Yin brought caused a great commotion in the capital."

"Because of those plants?"

"Yes."

Everyone knows the existence of clairvoyance, but no one except Emperor Qing knows what it is useful for. Only some generals went to see it, and when they came back, they were shocked by the clairvoyance.

You can tell what it is from the name, it should be able to see things in the distance.

It's amazing.

"I knew it. Xiao Luo told me yesterday that the employee under him who was in charge of purchasing from other places had found many crops that could be grown in the Central Plains in the Western Regions and Beidi. You just came and brought them to the capital together. go."

Wei Taiwei was stunned: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I have."

"...Forget it, what's going on outside? Do you want me to help?" Wei Taiwei said.

"That's fine. Originally, I planned to let other people join. Since you come at the right time, the position is enough." Zhou Jiedu envoy told him the whole thing.

"Master Lu, it can't be the master Lu from the capital, right? It should be a branch of the Lu family. Their methods are not clean. If I really want to guess who it is, I really can't guess it." Wei Taiwei also Guessed with them, "If you dare to be promoted, you have evidence, right?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Zhou Jiedu envoy had a weird expression on his face, "Xiao Luo investigated all of them last night and handed over the evidence to me, and also told us the locations of these relatives. "

"... so fast? Isn't this what happened last night?"

"I also went to check it out, and it was indeed true... In fact, I couldn't figure out how he found out."

"It can't be self-directed and acted." Wei Taiwei couldn't help but said.

Zhou Jiedu looked at him like a fool.

"This field was funded and built by me and him, and it hasn't paid back yet."

How could it be said that Luo Chao Chao directed and acted himself because of this.

That must be impossible!

This factory was built by Luo Chaochao bit by bit. It was all Luo Chaochao's painstaking efforts. The initial equipment alone invested a small 1 taels of silver in it. Although it has started to make money now, the capital invested has not yet been earned back. Luo Chao Chao is trying to bankrupt himself?

How does this benefit him?

But in fact, all these evidences were found by Luo Chaoxie's monsters.

The monsters who are active in the dark are very clear about these things, even where the relatives of these three people are locked up.

At that time, we can figure it out by leading people directly to rescue them.

It's just that the people behind shopkeeper Wu, the people from the Lu family... are really hard to deal with, even if it's just a branch, it's hard to deal with them.

Wei Taiwei glanced at the stack of papers in his hand, his eyes fell on the name Lu Liang, thinking about how to get him here.

"Is Lu Liang still in Kangzhou City?"

"Yes, at Fulai Restaurant, I have already arranged people to keep an eye on it."

"It was also Luo Chao Chao who told you?"

"Yes..." Zhou Jiedushi said, "I don't know how he knew."

Luo Chaochao, who was being talked about by the two, had already gone back with Kansai.

"You can go directly to the store in a while, I guess I have to go to the Yamen." Luo Chaoxi and Guan Xi said as they walked back, "It won't be long before we go back."

Guanxi didn't understand why Luo Chaochao said that, and looked back in a daze, but didn't get an answer from Luo Chaochao. As soon as the two of them entered the city, Luo Chaochao was stopped by passers-by, and turned around to go to the Yamen.

"What's the situation?" Kansai couldn't help asking after returning to the shop on Daxing Street without understanding what happened.

"Don't you know? A few gangsters went to burn the warehouse of the textile factory last night. If they were not discovered in time, the entire textile factory might be gone!"

Kansai froze.

"It's, it's like this, but you can't see it at all?"

"After all, the store has to maintain normal operation. If it stops for a day, the entire Connecticut city will be shut down." The employees in the store are very anxious, but they can't do anything. They can only continue to work step by step. "Even if the owner is sad and angry, he will not be influenced by his personal emotions."

Also.

Kansai can also understand.

After all, Luo Chaochao can no longer be swayed by some messy emotions. When necessary, his personal emotions will even give way to the overall situation.

After this period of fermentation, the open space outside the yamen was crowded with people. Seeing Luo Chaochao approaching, everyone quickly moved out of the way to let Luo Chaoxie in.

Kneeling in the courtroom were the three thieves who had already been arrested, and the shopkeeper of Xixing Cloth was also kneeling there, and sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man Luo Chaoxi had never seen before. , with a beard, looked at Luo Chaoxi with curiosity.

It's... a person from the capital.

After Luo Chaochao came in, he just saluted. Wei Taiwei looked at Luo Chaochao and sized him up with great interest: "Are you the plaintiff?"

"It's the grass people."

Taiwei Wei flipped through the files on the table and lowered his eyes.

Since the suspect who set fire to the factory yesterday has been recruited, this case is over, and now the sentence is another one, that is, who is the person who instigated them to set fire to the factory.

They identified shopkeeper Wu together, and the evidence they found also pointed to shopkeeper Wu. Now it seems more like a procedure.

"Do you three admit that you were responsible for setting fire to the Connecticut textile mill?"

"It's true that we did it, but we didn't do it voluntarily. There are other people behind it!" The three of them spoke in a hurry.

And the person behind this is the shopkeeper Wu of Xixingbuxing.

Shopkeeper Wu naturally refused to admit it, "They are just talking nonsense. I have no grievances or enmities with them, and I have never even had contact with them. They just insist that I can't prove myself."

"Where were you on July [-]?" Wei Taiwei asked, "Needless to say, you went to the banquet, we have already checked, and you were not on the invitation list for the banquet that day."

Shopkeeper Wu was taken aback.

What he was going to say was said by someone, he was stuck for a while, he didn't know what to say, he opened and closed his mouth for a long time, hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "I'm in the cloth shop..."

As soon as he said this, he secretly thought it was bad.

Isn't this a direct admission that you lied?It was cheated out by him.

"You were indeed in the shop that day, but it wasn't your own shop. It took a lot of time to go from Kangzhou City to Youzhou City, right?"

"This--"

The rhetoric they had planned before was all finished by this unknown person at this time, which directly disrupted his plan, but shopkeeper Wu did not panic, but tried hard to make up for it.

"Where are the relatives of the three of them hiding?" Wei Taiwei threw down the things on the table. It was a handkerchief with a small "Kang" character on the lower right corner. This handkerchief was obviously used. It's been a long time, but it's well preserved, but now it's stained with blood: "I found this in your shop."

"This is my wife's handkerchief!" One of them rushed forward to pick up the handkerchief and said, "This is my wife's, where is my wife? Return my wife!"

Shopkeeper Wu's forehead was already sweating.

Why is the direction of things kept being led by others?Without a chance to speak at all, Luo Chaoxi straightened up, "Master Wu, if you want people to know you have to do nothing, have you figured out how to make it up? If you insist on denying it, I can take the yamen servants to take the hostages right now." They are rescued, they should be in the ruined temple outside Xiangyang Village now, I don’t know if the people you sent have time to transfer them now.”

Shopkeeper Wu panicked completely.

Why does Luo Chao Chao seem to know everything?

These things were obviously done secretly by his confidantes, and no one knew about it.

Even if the mistress I want to confess to is detained, there will still be other people to solve other remaining problems for me.

If Luo Chaochao had known where the hostages were being held from the very beginning, the boys who transferred the hostages might have been caught!

Shopkeeper Wu knelt on the ground, at least he held back his trembling: "Caomin doesn't know what you're talking about."

"The silver that Lu Liang gave you was hidden under the bed of your good friend Xixue in Yimeiyuan. The first time I gave you 300 taels, and the second time I gave you 500 taels. The last time you met him was three days ago. , He gave you 200 taels, you were afraid of being known by your wife, so you didn’t take the money home after you got it, and it should still be under the bed, together with the letter he gave you.”

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Chaochao, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He didn't seem to expect that the things he hid so well were discovered by the other party. Even Xixue didn't know that he hid things under his lover's bed. He made it secretly, and no one knows except himself.

Seeing his reaction, what else do you not understand?

This is clearly unbelievable.

"Look for it." Wei Taiwei said, "You guys also go with me."

These yamen servants took orders to go, and some good people went with them, and those who left after a while came back again.

This time, what they got back was a large stack of letter paper and a box of banknotes.

In addition to these, there are other things brought out from that secret passage, such as ledgers, and some correspondence with other people.

Those who came back were obviously very angry.

"So much silver! That box is full of silver bills!"

"There is also a list, which contains the names of many officials and lords."

Upon seeing these things, Boss Wu slumped to the ground, but he quickly realized, "These, these are all from me—"

"Have you been asked to speak?" Captain Wei frowned.

Shopkeeper Wu shut his mouth unwillingly, watching Taiwei Wei flip through these letters and bank notes, his back was almost wet with cold sweat, it was clearly the severe summer, but shopkeeper Wu seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, the whole The man shivered, as if thinking of the consequences of being thrown into the prison.

but it does not matter.

Master Lu will definitely save himself.

And he also promised that if he accidentally went in, he would help take care of his family and give him and his family a very considerable amount of money. As long as he didn't die, he would definitely have a bright future.

"My lord, I have been rescued." It didn't take long for another group of yamen servants who had been dispatched in advance to come back, and they brought back a total of six people.

The two women, a little girl, an old woman, and an old man who couldn't walk but was brought on a stretcher were the relatives of the three arsonists.

It's just that the condition is not very good, but at least he came back alive.

When the three of them saw that their relatives came back alive, they immediately wanted to rush over excitedly, but they were held down by the yamen servant.

"It's true that you were forced by others, but you also committed the crime of arson after all." Wei Taiwei said, he took a look, "Given the bad behavior and intentional behavior, according to the law, you should be beheaded." .”

Because the current houses are all made of wood, and fire extinguishing mainly depends on manpower, and manpower fire extinguishing cannot keep up with the speed of wood burning. Seriously, according to the law, the head must be beheaded in the city center as an example to others!

It was lucky for Luo Chaochao and the others not to let the tragedy happen, but in case of a fire, the entire textile factory would be destroyed.The entire textile industry in Connecticut City would be paralyzed, not to mention that there were hundreds of employees living in the dormitory of the textile factory. It was still in the middle of the night, and people would definitely die if they couldn't react to the fire.

The three of them turned pale with fright.

They didn't expect it to be so serious.

"But the fire didn't start. We just spilled oil, and we were arrested before we could light the fire."

"You still want to light it?!" Wei Taiwei didn't say anything, and the passers-by outside the court couldn't help shouting: "Do you want us to thank you for not lighting it? Even if you were forced, But haven’t you thought about how many people would die in the textile factory if this fire caught fire?!”

"This……"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, the passers-by were so angry that they felt wronged, and the relatives of the prisoner spoke for their own relatives, but shopkeeper Wu was ignored.

"Silence! Disturb the court and drag it down to beat the [-]th board!" Wei Taiwei was so quarreled that he had a headache, "This is the court, not a place for you to mess around!"

The yamen servants pulled the three people down with ease, and immediately after that, there were screams outside one after another.

Shopkeeper Wu shivered for a moment, and kept silent, wishing he could hide in the cracks of the ground, for fear that everyone would notice him.

"Wu Gensheng, the evidence is convincing. Do you have anything else to explain?" While the three of them were playing board, Wei Taiwei asked the shopkeeper Wu, "If you get punished quickly, you won't be dealt with severely. But if you continue to argue ..."

Now the background sound in the courtroom was the screams of those three people. Shopkeeper Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the balance began to gradually tilt.

Lord Lu promised himself that even if he was put in prison, he could find a way to get him out, and he could properly arrange his family and get a lot of money.

If he continued to defy him, he might be dealt with severely, and even his life would be lost, so how could he spend money?

Under the screams, shopkeeper Wu nodded, "...I ordered them to do it."

"Where's Lu Liang?"

"This is all my own temporary idea, and has nothing to do with Mr. Lu."

This is being stubborn. Everyone knows that this matter must be related to that person named Lu Liang. It has nothing to do with the fact that shopkeeper Wu killed him. Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, it is useless even if shopkeeper Wu is responsible for it. .

"Go and invite Mr. Lu over here." Wei Taiwei said, "If there is anything we need to confront on the spot."

I hope Mr. Lu is gone.

Shopkeeper Wu lay softly on the ground, praying while watching the three people who had fainted from the beating.

There was so much commotion when he was arrested, Mr. Lu must have heard the news and was about to run away.

However, what shopkeeper Wu didn't know was that the Master Lu he was talking about couldn't escape at all.

With Luo Chaochao's employees around, it was impossible for them to run away. Although he got into the carriage and was about to leave the city, he ran for a long time but found that he was still spinning around in place and had never left the vicinity of the inn.

It turned out to be caught in a ghost hitting the wall in broad daylight!

Mr. Lu's already tense strings became even tighter, and he asked the driver to continue to look for the way out. When they drove around here for nearly half an hour, the road ahead finally became clear.

Don't wait for Mr. Lu to be happy.He found that their car went straight into the hands of the officers and soldiers who came to arrest him.

Mr. Lu didn't bring many guards with him, so he was caught straight, and he was torn and brought to the court.

It was only then that Luo Chaoxi saw what Master Lu looked like.

This is a very handsome middle-aged man, looking at him very unkindly, wishing to eat Luo Chao Chao.

"Luo Chaochao, you are powerful enough to make so many people speak for you."

"I've never done anything wrong, I just told the truth." Luo Chaoxi smiled, "Why, you dare not admit what you did?"

"What have I done? What can I do? I, Lu Liang, have never been afraid of anything."

He said extremely arrogantly, "Even if the prime minister is here, it is impossible to force me to admit something I have not done."

"Your letters are all here, is it possible that you still deny it?"

"My father is the second-in-command of the Lu family in the capital." When Lu Liang saw the stack of letter papers, he panicked at first, and then continued to speak stiffly, "And isn't it still available?"

Luo Chaochao was stunned by the opponent's stupidity.

He never expected to meet such an idiot who shouted "My father is Li Gang" at this time.

"Are you admitting it?"

"So what if you admit it, so what if you don't admit it? Since no one loses, it's okay."

Captain Wei sneered.

"You are contemptuous of the king's law!" Taiwei Wei slapped the gavel suddenly, and shouted, "Lu Liang, you are so courageous!! It is a crime to set fire by others, but now you are even more guilty of contempt for the king's law. It is a crime that cannot be punished!"

Wei Taiwei is not afraid of the Lu family, he came here this time just to show him a good look.

"I'm from the Lu family!"

"Your Lu Family University or Wang Fa University?!"

Lu Liang said subconsciously: "Of course it's Lu—" swallowed the remaining words quickly, but the word "Lu" was still clearly heard.

There was an uproar.

"Come on! Drag him down and beat him with a hundred slaps! The crime of abetting, arson, and disrespect! Wu Gensheng of Xixing Buzhuang, deliberately asked someone to cause trouble in the same shop, causing thirteen restaurants to close down. Maliciously annexed industries, bribed more than 23 taels of officials, instigated arson and intentional homicide, including but not limited to arson in a textile factory, the murder of six members of Su Wang’s family... A total of 20 people were killed. The crime is serious and unpardonable! Seized from now on Westbound Chamber of Commerce, confiscated all property, beat [-] boards and chose a day to be executed! The remaining three were punished for the crime of intentional arson. After being hit with [-] boards, he will be sent to prison for [-] years in prison!"

Among these people, only these three people directly mentioned the sentence with Shopkeeper Wu. As for Lu Liang, he didn't say the sentence, but this crime of disrespect is enough to beheaded.

And it's the kind of beheading that implicates the nine clans.

Luo Chaoxi lowered his head and did not comment on this.

These were all investigated by the monsters, and he couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw these numbers.

In other words, even in modern times, the crimes committed by shopkeeper Wu are enough for him to be shot more than a dozen times

Even though Luo Chaoxi knew that the lives of ancient people were worthless, he still couldn't accept that shopkeeper Wu had actually killed so many people over the years.

Were it not for this incident, these cases might not have surfaced anytime soon.

I just pushed myself.

"Su Wang's extermination was actually done by Wu Gensheng?!"

"And the person who died in the Taoist temple!"

"More than 20 lives!"

Shopkeeper Wu froze in place.

He really didn't expect that even the old accounts from the past would be turned over, those memories that he deliberately hid and didn't want to recall——

I am dead.

That Mr. Lu——

Can he save himself?

Shopkeeper Wu seemed to have forgotten that Lu Liang was a death penalty just like him, and Mr. Lu was even worse, and their Lu family might be involved.

"You did it on purpose, you induced me to say such things on purpose! I don't accept it!" Lord Lu is stupid, but he also knows that if he doesn't fight now, he might really die. Unfortunately, his struggle is completely useless, The yamen servants who got rich dragged him out directly, and there were screams, the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally passed out directly.

And the one-hundred board has not been finished yet, and if he faints, cold water will be poured on him to wake him up, and then he will continue to fight.

The passers-by watching outside the court could not bear to watch it, but they watched it very seriously and happily.

Who would have thought that the case of the textile factory could involve so many unsolved murders?Some cases are too old, and some family members even died. After so many years, they finally got revenge.

Luo Chao Chao let out a long breath.

When he walked out of the courtroom, he was still a little melancholy.

"Shopkeeper Luo, Master Zhou is looking for you." Before Luo Chaoxi left, the porter of the yamen came to find Luo Chaoxi. Luo Chaoxi thought that there might be something unsolved in this case, so he turned around and went back to the yamen.

This time they didn't meet in court, but in Zhizhou's study inside the yamen.

The middle-aged man who took the place of Zhou Jiedushi to handle the case was also sitting in the room and looking at Luo Chaochao with a smile.

"So you are Luo Chaochao." Wei Taiwei said with a smile, "You are younger than I thought, have you reached the crown yet?"

"Two more years." Luo Chaoxi replied with some surprise.

"You are really young and promising." Wei Taiwei said, "This time you are actually called here because of this case. Shopkeeper Wu's previous records have been found out, and it is tentatively scheduled to be executed at noon in three days, and his property... ..."

Zhou Jiedushi seemed to have noticed something, "What do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty sent me to Kangzhou City for you." Wei Taiwei said, "Since you don't want a title or become an official, then you can only compensate you in other ways."

After all, Wei Taiwei is a second-rank official, and he was ordered by the emperor to issue rewards to Luo Chaochao. In addition to the houses and stores in the capital, Wei Taiwei still has some authority and gold and silver in his hands. Wei himself looked at what reward Luo Chaoxi would give.

After all, what if Luo Chaochao doesn't want to come to the capital for development?

He also needs to leave some property to his hometown, at least to let Luo Chaochao get substantial benefits.

Originally Taiwei Wei was still worrying about what reward he would give Luo Chaoxi, but he did not expect this opportunity to come.

And the reason for this reward is justifiable.

The most important thing is that it does not cost money!

They directly copied the property of the Wu family. Except for a part that was not easy to give away, the rest, such as land and houses, could be rewarded to Luo Chaochao, and it would not appear too deliberate.

After all, Luo Chaochao was still a victim, and no one would say anything or question him.

"Wu Gensheng owns seven cloth stores, three restaurants, two cosmetic shops and two jewelry shops, in addition to two houses and some land properties." Wei Taiwei looked at the things on the information. Said.

He pushed the paper to Luo Chaochao, "Now, these are all yours."
