Chapter 122 The fire soars into the sky
Late at night, the wind became stronger and stronger, making the treetops of willow trees on the side of the road roar. Wang Yaochen stood in front of the white wall and looked at the fire in the restaurant in front of him, his face gloomy.
After a while, Wang Yaochen looked down at Du Er's body on the ground, then Bai Bi, and asked the people around him in a deep voice: "Why haven't anyone heard of Song Yuanwai, a privately sold bronze ware in Yong'an County? Don't you know this person?"
The public servants from Henan Prefecture and Henan County whispered: "Return to the verdict, the young people really don't know."
"Bastard! Who would believe this? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Wang Yaochen's eyes were about to spit out. "A few days ago, I chased you every three days and every five days. You are still working hard. The one who committed the crime must have no caterpillars, so the officials and bandits colluded with them to deceive Shangguan! OK, if you don't have a military force, you just think that I am a magistrate!"
The public men lowered their heads and dared not speak, and hated Tong Dalang who wrote inscriptions in his heart. How could the gangsters in the yamen not know about the big men like private copper ware? The leaders of the public have received many benefits from him. As the saying goes, the short hand of people is not to hold the knife on their necks, so they naturally have to cover up Song Yuanwai. The carts of copper coins are unknown. These people have long recognized that it was Song Yuanwai's doing, but they just came to be officials without hiding them from Wang Yaochen and other foreigners. They also thought that they would wait until the matter was settled and find Song Yuanwai to get the benefits.
Officials have restrictions on avoiding laws. When they are not familiar with the local area, they still have to rely on local public officials. Public officials have their own small plans and will try their best to deceive their superiors and hide their subordinates from them to gain benefits, thus forming a delicate balance. Both officials and officials know this situation well, and as long as they do not break through the bottom line, they will be safe.
This time, the public officials only made their own small calculations and pushed all the troubles on the officials. How could Wang Yaochen not be angry? Four chariots of copper coins are not small. If they are not retrieved, the officials' political achievements will be affected. Although Xu Ping, the transferee of Jingxi Road, was his own in the same year, he would not be too embarrassed and would always give others a tribute.
Taking a breath, Wang Yaochen said, "Immediately send someone to Yong'an County to capture Song Yuanwai and come to justice! You have already thought about it this time. People must be brought back. All the prohibited items in his family must not be missing. Otherwise, don't blame me for the operation of you! Also, this time, who colluded with Song Yuanwai, hand me a hand to the Sharmon Island! If you don't hand over the person, you can't escape!"
The public agreed, and their hearts were mixed and each had their own ulterior motives. At this point, Wang Yaochen said that he had to hand over the people. When Xu Ping dared to break most of the public officials in the three departments, Wang Yaochen of course dared to replace all the public officials in the prefectures and counties. Once they took off their clothes, according to their usual behavior, they would not have to spend the second half of their lives.
If you want to get a job, it depends on who you want to get a job.
At this time, the restaurant that Du Erpu bought had completely burned. Fortunately, the fire started from the second floor and was burning little by little. The guests stayed in there had time to run out and did not take any life. The nearby wing army had arrived and was organizing the fire to put out. Just looking at this, when the fire was extinguished, the restaurant would be gone. This is the industry of Henan County, and the magistrate of Henan has to worry about it.
Old Tang and his wife stood in front of their restaurant, looked at the fire opposite, and said slowly: "A big fire burned clean. What a bird, the judge, wants to rely on this restaurant, force us to survive, and promise our daughter to be a concubine. This result should be the result. God has eyes, and it will be better to lower the fire, except for our thorn in our eyes!"
Mother Tang said, "There is a god who raises his head three feet high. Old man, you should do more good deeds in the future and don't cause such disasters!"
Old Tang smiled and nodded in agreement, leisurely watching the fire on the opposite side burning bigger and bigger.
Because of this fire, the southern city gate of Luoyang had already opened before dawn, and it was extremely lively.
Superintendent Tong hurriedly left the city, rode his horse to the restaurant, grabbed a servant who looked at the kind-faced man, and asked him anxiously: "Where is Du Er? The restaurant is burning, why can't he see him?"
The servant said: "Du Yuanwai was killed by Tong Daguanren and Jian Yuchi for revenge because he injured his life without caterpillars."
"Where is Tong Da? Has he come out?"
The servant looked at Manager Tong and shook his head repeatedly: "How do you ask such a question? Tong Daguan killed Du Er, so he naturally ran away with the sick Yuchi overnight. How could he stay here for a lawsuit? I think this fire is the only one who made the tenth**."
After hearing this, Manager Tong felt his eyes turn black and almost fell to the ground.
Because Tong Dalang has always been well-behaved and smart and capable, Supervisor Tong trusted him very much later. The company's accounts were checked by the government, and the official backups could not be taken care of. The money from private lending is now troublesome. Supervisor Tong only has detailed accounts, and various loans are borrowed from Tong Dalang. Now he has run away. What should I do if I borrow the contract? Without the loan contract, who will pay the bill? Now it seems that the names of the accounts handed over by Tong Dalang may not be real.
The more I thought about it, the more I became scared. Manager Tong pushed the servant away, ran to the raging fire, and shouted to the soldier who was transporting water and extinguishing the fire, "The room on the second floor leaning against the big willow tree, there are important things in it, so you can move it down!"
A soldier who was carrying water looked up and down the supervisor Tong and said disdainfully: "The fire is burned from there, even if we don't want to live, we can only find dust in it! Stay away and don't interfere with our work here!"
Manager Tong took two steps back, stood stupidly, muttering to himself: "The fire is coming from where? Could it be that the fire was set by Tong Da? What do he want to burn? What do he want to burn?"
While talking, he slowly retreated and leaned against the big willow tree by the roadside, holding his head with both hands, as if he was crazy.
Without the loan contract, where can I collect the copper coins I lent out? Now that Sun Mian is having such a stalemate with Xu Ping and Henan Prefecture, he cannot expect the government to help him. If the money cannot be collected, how can he explain to the big households in the city? That is not one hundred jin and two hundred jin!
Manager Tong can’t afford to pay it back, and Sun Mian can’t afford to pay it back either, let alone Sun Mian can’t take it out even if he can take it out. The supervisor of the Zhiyuan Institute helps his officials do these things just to make a fuss, isn’t someone coming out to take the thunder?
Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Manager Tong was a little dazed and felt a deep despair.
The autumn wind blew harder and whimpered across the treetops, and the fire slashed at the restaurant turned into strange shapes. The firefighters came and went, shouting loudly, and the firefighters looked leisurely and talked and laughed.
