"It's just a gadget."

After Jiang Muyu finished speaking, he strode forward, because he had already seen the gate of Shangyuan.Zongbing Bai looked at his back and was so angry that his teeth itch, but Jiang Muyu didn't think of him as his chief for a long time, so he didn't care what he thought at all, and he didn't even want to maintain the relationship on the surface.Mr. Bai wanted to use military regulations to suppress people, but Jiang Muyu said he was transferred to Mingcheng, but Feiyun belonged to a special army, so he didn't belong to him at all.Therefore, although Jiang Muyu is only a coordinator, his actual status is comparable to that of the general soldiers, but the number of soldiers under him is smaller than them.

However, they are all elites...

President Bai thought sourly.But soon he was all smiles, because if Jiang Muyu died here, then Feiyun would either be merged into the Mingcheng garrison, or he would choose Feiyun's officer nearby.At that time, why not let him knead?Bai Zongbing finally felt much better.

The birthday banquet is very boring. It is said to congratulate the children on their first birthday, but in fact it is just a social entertainment for the adults to socialize.There were not many relatives invited by Shangzhi's mansion, but the officials and wealthy businessmen who came filled the hall, and the seven or eight tables were packed to the brim.It was the most ceremonial moment for a child to grasp the week, but Shang Zhifu didn't care, but was more interested in the drinking between you and me.Jiang Muyu looked at the flushed magistrate and shook his head, thinking that this person is probably a muddled official who doesn't care about things.

Jiang Muyu was not interested in drinking, and even less interested in drinking with this group of strangers, so he excused himself to leave halfway through the banquet.Bai Zongbing didn't notice it at all, but Shang Zhifu looked up as if aware of it, and then threw himself into drinking in full swing.Later, as Jiang Muyu expected, on the third day, the Shangzhi Mansion asked the servants to send a message, saying that he hoped to invite Jiang Xietong into the mansion for a talk.

Jiang Muyu happily went to the appointment, and when he entered the garden, he saw a man from Shang Zhifu sitting in a small pavilion in the fish pond in the backyard.Shang Zhifu smiled and asked Jiang Muyu to sit down, then waved away the servants around him, and asked, "I heard that Jiang Xietong is the prince's man?"

Jiang Muyu said flatly, "It's just serving the country."

Shangzhifu nodded, and then suddenly asked Jiang Muyu in a low voice: "I wonder if Jiang Xietong can detect whether there are people around here?"

Jiang Muyu looked at him strangely, and shook his head after feeling it.Seeing this, Shang Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, and then sincerely lifted his clothes and was about to kneel down to Jiang Muyu, but fortunately Jiang Muyu stopped him quickly with his eyes and hands.

"Why is Shang Zhifu?" Jiang Muyu frowned and asked.

"To be honest, this little old man is begging Jiang Xietong to save my life!" Shang Zhifu held Jiang Muyu's clothes tightly, his eyes were full of fear and hatred, "If it wasn't for the little old man, I would have been pretending to be confused all this time. , maybe he died of illness as early as those people!"

Shang Zhifu tremblingly told Jiang Muyu everything he knew. It turned out that he had known for a long time that Bai Zongbing and his subordinate Zhang Siyu jointly opened Ruyifang, just to defraud wealthy foreign businessmen of their money.And they are very ruthless. Anyone who knows about this matter will either join or kill it directly, so they have been hiding it very well all the time. If he didn't accidentally discover it and become suspicious, he probably wouldn't know about it.

"Bai Yuguo has never allowed officials to enter the gambling house. I thought they were just going to gamble, and I planned to turn a blind eye and close one eye. After all, they are all relatives. But later I found out that they were with Bai Yu. The Zongbing has contact, and after a secret investigation, I found out that the gambling shop was opened by Bai Zongbing, and their purpose was not to gamble, but to kill people and rob money." Shang Zhifu's face turned pale, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying "They recruited a lot of low-level officials and officials, and then asked them to find those outsiders who had money and trick them into Ruyifang. Those outsiders were naturally relieved when they saw that there were officials there." There are many, but I never expected that they would enter the tiger's mouth. They were all stunned by Mr. Bai's men and taken to the wilderness to kill them. This Ruyifang is also playing a gamble on the surface. According to me As far as I know, two of them went bankrupt in this way..."

At this time, Jiang Muyu compared what Wu Lin said with what Shang Zhifu said in his mind, and found that there was a 10% chance that it was the truth.It's just that if this gambling house simply kills people and sells goods, it's impossible for Mr. Bai to amass a fortune of several [-] taels, otherwise everyone would want to rob and kill people.After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Muyu still said——

"Then the magistrate knows about Mr. Bai's smuggling of military funds?"

Shang Zhifu was obviously taken aback, then shook his head in horror: "This! I don't know...they can do this like this..."

Jiang Muyu was noncommittal, but it seemed that the magistrate didn't know about Mr. Bai's collusion with the enemy and betrayed the country, otherwise he would be too good at acting.So he told the prefect Bai about his discovery, and then looked at the prefect Shang who had no masters, and said seriously: "The prefect Shang should pretend to be confused, and don't reveal the facts he knows. I said this in the hope that the prefect Shang understands how serious these people are. It's dangerous, absolutely don't act rashly, or you are going to die. I will get the evidence of their collusion and traitorousness as soon as possible, and I hope that the magistrate will cooperate to arrest these people directly and imprison them, and then report to the court for the emperor to make a judgment. "

"How to catch..." the magistrate muttered, "I'm afraid more than half of my government office is following Mr. Bai to do this - to do this collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, especially those who are in charge of prisons and military affairs. Little old man No one is available..."

Jiang Muyu looked at Shangzhifu's slumped look, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Then after I arrest him, please report the prefect to the court." Jiang Muyu thought that Wu Lin should also get some clues, so he said to Shang Zhifu, "It will probably be at the end of this month, and it won't be too late. Long."

Upon hearing this, Shang Zhifu managed to regain his energy, and asked Jiang Muyu about some details of the incident.Although Jiang Muyu regarded Shangzhifu as a companion for the time being, he was always cold-hearted and didn't answer every question, and avoided talking about many things.The two talked all afternoon, seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Muyu got up to say goodbye.Shang Zhifu reluctantly followed him to the gate of the garden and watched him go.

Jiang Muyu's figure became smaller and smaller, and then crossed the corner of the street and disappeared.Shangzhifu sighed, shook his head and walked into the garden. At this time, the housekeeper beside him lowered his head and said respectfully: "President Bai, please see me." "If you don't come sooner or later, why come now?" He flicked his sleeves, but he still didn't refuse in the end, "Tell him to come to the pavilion to meet me."

As soon as Zongbing Bai entered the pavilion, he saw two cups of tea on the table, and thought that the prefect had poured them in advance, so he didn't suspect him, and took a sip without saying hello.But then he frowned and spit back the sip of tea he had drunk, then put the teacup heavily on the table, and asked Shang Min dissatisfied: "Why is this tea cold?"

"What you drank was what was left by Jiang Xietong just now, so it was naturally cold," Zong Zhifu was also very bad, and explained after seeing this man finish drinking, "You drank it directly before I had time to say."

After hearing this explanation, Bai Zongbing not only did not calm down, but became even more angry.After all, he didn't drink the leftover tea of ​​ordinary people, but the leftovers of Jiang Muyu, who he wished to kill soon, so the anger in his heart burned even worse.It's just that this time I have something important to do, so I can only suppress my anger and ask Shang Min: "What did that kid tell you?"

Shangzhifu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Bai coldly: "What did you say?"

"He said that you were collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, that you and my government colluded with each other, and that I would report to the court and sentence you to death!" Shang Zhifu picked up his teacup and threw it into the fish pond, scaring away the swimming fish , "You idiot! How can you let him know? He's from the prince's side, so maybe even the prince knows about the smuggling of arms now!"

It turns out that Shang Zhifu is not someone who pretends to be ignorant at all, but a partner of Mr. Bai.The secret compartment is a trap set by the two of them, specifically to guard against such martial arts people, and also to lure them to Ruyifang to kill them.When Mr. Bai told him that the fake things in the hidden cell had been touched, he thought that Jiang Muyu would at most find out that the accounts were abnormal, and then inquired about Ruyifang. It's not a secret, and it's not surprising that Jiang Muyu found out by chance.But he never expected that Jiang Muyu even knew about the smuggling of ordnance. This means that Jiang Muyu also touched the things in the second-floor dark compartment of the Bai Zongbing, and this idiot didn't even know about it.The things in the dark grid on the second floor are really...

"If he takes away the ledger inside, I think you'll be waiting to implicate the Nine Clans!" Shang Zhifu dropped his teacup and was puzzled, and said viciously to Zongbing Bai, "If the person you said is an ordinary person, we will lure him It's fine to go to Ruyifang to kill him. This Jiang Muyu's martial arts is extremely high, and the prince is behind him. How dare you show him the smuggled account book? Besides, it's fine if you make a fake one, and you still put the real one. Inside, it’s fine if you die yourself, but you will also implicate me!”

Bai Zongbing looked at Shang Min who was furious, but he didn't look afraid at all. He lifted his lips and said, "I just want to show him! Even if he is a princeling, so what? I don't believe that the prince can go to this Ming city." Come to seek justice for him! As for the extraordinary martial arts, I have special medicine here to deal with this kind of person, and when he is powerless, can he kill us instead?"

"He has a bright future, how can he always be a coordinator?" Shang Zhifu looked at this brave and foolhardy man with a headache, "He will be transferred away in a year at most, and what do we want to do by then? So what? But if he dies here, the Crown Prince will definitely not let it go, and we will have to tie our hands and feet..."

Mr. Bai smiled: "That's the price you don't know about Changqing!"
