Chapter 404: Copy the house
Chapter 404 Confiscate the house
Soon, someone dragged two people in, "Young Madam, the villain found these two people under the wall." As soon as the hands were loosened, the two fell to the ground.
Yu Zhi snorted, and said casually: "It must have been blown down by the wind."
The wind was so strong that the corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
The joints of the two people were removed, and they couldn't move even if they wanted to, but the horror in their eyes was clearly exposed under the candlelight.
Tsk, what a pity!
Yu Zhi glanced at He Xiaodie, she immediately walked over expressionlessly, squatted down, raised her bare hands lightly, and closed their jaws. That action was obviously not rough at all, but everyone present had a chill down their backs for no reason.
"Forgive, forgive, Madam, please forgive me!" The two seemed to be frightened, and they couldn't say anything except begging for mercy.
At this time, Song Yi'an also saw the faces of the two clearly, "You, you are Ma Zhong?!" He was taken aback, and hurriedly reported to Yu Zhi, "Young Madam, this person is Ma Zhong, the second housekeeper of the Ma family. The trust of the Patriarch of the Ma family."
"What about the other one?" Yu Zhi asked.
Song Yi'an glanced at him, "Young Madam Hui, I don't know my subordinates, so she probably belongs to the Ma family. This Ma Zhong often follows Patriarch Ma, so his subordinates know him."
Yu Zhi didn't speak, just sat on it indifferently, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, once and for all, and looked at everyone's heart.
The beads of sweat on Zhang Changsheng's forehead slowly rolled down, but he didn't even dare to move. His heart was in a mess, wondering if the young lady would believe him. If he doesn't believe it, what should he do?
"Then please trouble Mr. Song to ask this Ma Zhong, what is he doing sneaking around the county government office without sleeping in the middle of the night? Remember, I only listen to the truth."
Song Yi'an bowed and responded, "Yes, Young Madam, this subordinate will immediately take you down for questioning."
Why don't you ask in class? Naturally, she couldn't let such dirty things stain the young lady's eyes.
There was no sound in the lobby, Yu Zhi continued to tap her fingers, she was a little bored, she really wanted to go back to sleep. However, judging by tonight's situation, she might not be able to sleep.
Fortunately, Zhuo Zhengyang came in, "Young Madam, my subordinates interrogated the pirate leader, and the confession was consistent with Zhang Xunjian's statement. It was the owner of the Ma family who contacted them, and it was also a member of the Ma family who escorted them into the city. The family is also involved."
After a pause, he continued: "The pirate leader also explained that Patriarch Ma specifically mentioned you and the young master in his letter to the head of the family. The promotion of cheap salt in Shanyun County by the master has not only touched the hearts of several local families. interests, and also touched the interests of the pirates, so they hit it off, wanting to hurt you and the young master, and make the adults feel miserable."
As for how to hurt, there is no need to say those dirty words to dirty the young lady's ears.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yu Zhi said slowly, glanced at Zhang Changsheng, and said, "Inspector Zhang, get up first."
"Young Madam Xie!" Zhang Changsheng was extremely grateful, and slowly got up, standing aside with lowered eyes and silent. He knew very well in his heart that the young lady just told him to get up, she didn't fully believe his words.
But for him, this is enough. It is a blessing for him and the Zhang family that the young lady is willing to listen to his arguments and to investigate. What he said was all true, without a single lie, and could stand the scrutiny.
Song Yi'an also came in, "Reporting to Young Madam, according to Ma Zhong's account, he was indeed sent by Ma Patriarch to investigate the situation, and the other is from the Yan family. The Ma and Yan families did collude with the pirates, Ma Patriarch also returned Promise, after the matter is completed, I will send a granddaughter to the head of the pirate."
He caught a glimpse of Zhang Changsheng out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but pause, "The Zhang family was indeed tricked by the Ma and Yan families, and they deliberately passed on the news before acting. This is a big clue in their hands. If inspector Zhang informs the adults, it will be too late, and it will also arouse the suspicion of the adults. The Ma and Yan families have no good intentions, and they are determined to drag the Zhang family into trouble. "
When talking about this, his face was particularly ugly, "Not only the Zhang family, but also the family of the subordinates who were tricked by them. The Yan family explained that they also sent news to the Song family, but...the subordinates didn't know how to send the news to the Song family. Who gave it to the family."
Saying these words, Song Yian seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He was not only angry, but also extremely sad.
Zhang Changsheng ran to the rescue even outside the city, what about the Song family? The old fox in Ma's family was only worried about his father and son. His lord was away and the yamen was busy, so he hadn't been home for two days. If it wasn't him, it would be the father and the second younger brother... They lived in the city, and they haven't sent any news to the county government until now, and they haven't even mentioned it to him in private.
Before, he still sympathized with Zhang Changsheng, but he was the most pitiful one.
There were not many stupid people present, even if they didn't realize it for a while, seeing Song Yi'an's distraught look, what else wouldn't he understand?
All of a sudden they cast sympathetic looks at Song Yian, especially Zhang Changsheng, and his uneasy mood calmed down for no reason. oh. It turned out that he wasn't the worst one!
Although he knew he shouldn't think this way, his complexion did look much better to the naked eye.
Yu Zhi was also full of sympathy for Song Yi'an, and comforted him, "Mr. Song, don't be depressed, everyone sees your character and loyalty."
Song Yi'an is indeed quite capable, not to say how smart he is, but he is transparent, knows what he wants, and can calm down to do things. It is precisely because of this that the Ma and Yan families dare not take their ideas on him.
This is not to say that Zhang Changsheng is stupid. The reason why they disclosed the news to him was because he was not in the city, and even if he knew the news, it would be too late to inform him. If he is also in the city, oh, let alone in the city, as long as he is closer to the city, the Ma and Yan families will never dare to count him like this.
Song Yi'an was extremely grateful, "Young madam, subordinate, subordinate..." He was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
Zhuo Zhengyang next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the young lady and your lord will not wrong a good person."
Song Yi'an nodded heavily, eyes were red, and he solemnly clasped his fists, "Young Madam, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for you as an adult."
"It's serious, Mr. Song doesn't need to think too much, maybe things are not what you think."
"Yes!" Song Yi'an saluted again and stepped aside, the dissatisfaction with the family in his heart reached its peak at this moment.
Yu Zhi put his hand on the public case, "Ma and Yan colluded with pirates to harm their neighbors, which is tantamount to rebellion. Mr. Zhuo, is that so?"
Zhuo Zhengyang stood up, "Young Madam is right."
"Then ransack the house. The men and women of the Ma and Yan families, as well as the servants, are all put in prison, waiting for the trial of the adults." Don't say that women are innocent, they are all implicated by men, are they also members of the Ma and Yan families? Enjoy the glory and wealth, but also have to bear the suffering. For the sake of deterrence, let's put them all in prison first, let's see the situation later! It's really innocent, it's okay to save your life, but if you want to live the life of slaves and maidservants, it's not good.
"Inspector Zhang, do you have any doubts about going to Ma's house?" Yu Zhi began to assign tasks.
Zhang Changsheng frowned, "Yes, my subordinates have no doubts." The attitude was respectful.
Yu Zhi said again: "He Xiaodie, you go to assist Zhang Xunjian."
He Xiaodie nodded.
Yu Zhi turned to Zhuo and Song, "The Yan family has Lao Lao."
The two also agreed in unison.
"As for the rest, clean up the county government office. The heads of the dead pirates were cut off, pickled with lime, and piled up at the entrance of the county government office. The corpses were taken to Yizhuang and burned."
Yu Zhi stood up, and finally said softly: "Master Cheng, you have worked hard tonight, it is getting late, you go back and rest first, and come to the door when I have time to thank you."
He Xiaodie's master nodded indifferently, "Young Madam, you are welcome."
