Chapter 250 Let’s go and catch someone
Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman looked at Qin Zheng blankly.
Qin Zheng said, "Xiaoyou, prepare the gifts and go celebrate Zhang Jinyuan's birthday!"
what?
Wu Xiaoyou and Su Xiaoman were shocked!
Su Xiaoman was speechless: "Sir, they didn't invite you? You are just being polite..."
Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Xiao Man, come along too, and broaden your horizons!"
Su Xiaoman immediately took back what she was about to say, and said with a smile, "It's more meaningful to come uninvited!"
Wu Xiaoyou: “…”
"Sir, what kind of gift do you prepare?"
Qin Zheng: "Imperial Sword!"
Wu Xiaoyou's face changed.
Su Xiaoman shuddered. Could it be that the adults were going to kill someone?
Zhang Mansion is very grand.
The two big lions at the door are made of a whole piece of white jade!
The two red-painted doors were not only covered with gold edges, but even the rivets and door knockers were made of golden gold.
At this moment, there was a constant stream of traffic and guests in front of Zhang's house.
Judging from the guest's attire, he must be either rich or noble.
A fat and big-eared butler is welcoming guests with a smile.
At this moment, Qin Zheng and his companions were still in the inn, and the food was brought to Qin Zheng's room.
Su Xiaoman was puzzled: "Sir, aren't we going to Zhang's house?"
Qin Zheng: "It's still early. It won't be too late to go after we have a full meal."
Su Xiaoman was very disappointed. She thought she was going to have a good meal.
But when I thought that the adults might be going to kill someone, I felt relieved.
Su Xiaoman suddenly asked in a mysterious voice, "Sir, do you think that we should strike when the crowd is the largest, so that the deterrent effect will be greater?"
Qin Zheng nodded: "My Xiaoman is really smart."
Su Xiaoman was so happy that she looked at Wu Xiaoyou proudly.
Wu Xiaoyou was speechless. I had thought of it a long time ago.
When they were almost done eating, Tao Yong came back with the special agents, carrying a dozen large wooden boxes.
Qin Zheng asked Su Xiaoman to notify the inn and prepare another table of food.
He also let Tao Yong and others eat in his room.
Su Xiaoman looked at the boxes, her eyes shining: "Tao Yong, are these all silver? Where did they come from?"
Tao Yong was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Xiaoyou had already understood what he was saying and said contemptuously, "You only care about the money. This is the account book!"
Su Xiaoman's eyes flickered as she exclaimed in surprise, "There's so much evidence of Zhang Jinyuan and those grain merchants committing crimes. How serious could this be? Is it related to that secret letter?"
Tao Yong smiled and said, "Xiao Man is really smart."
Su Xiaoman was very proud.
While Tao Yong and others were having dinner, Qin Zheng briefly checked the boxes. Not only did they contain the account books of Fenghua's major grain merchants, but also their criminal evidence.
It was very detailed, even recording the crimes committed by the grain merchants' families and servants.
As soon as Qin Zheng saw these things, he knew they were Xia Bitu's masterpieces.
Although the secret letter was not signed and the handwriting was not Xia Bitu's, Qin Zheng was sure that it was written by Xia Bitu.
Having collected so much evidence, it is obvious that Xia Bitu had already started and must have wanted to take down this so-called godfather Zhang Jinyuan.
In this case, Xia Bitu should have known about this godfather long ago.
The reason why we are taking action now must be that there are difficulties.
It seems that there is a master behind Zhang Jinyuan!
Who could be the master that even Xia Bitu is afraid of?
Qin Zheng had a guess.
The reason why Xia Bitu took action now was to ask Qin Zheng to investigate and prosecute Zhang Jinyuan, and even conduct an in-depth investigation.
After all, Qin Zheng was the imperial envoy who investigated the case.
This also shows that Zhang Jinyuan is not Xia Bitu's man.
This godfather must be fake.
But Xia Bitu must have been forced to admit it because he was afraid of something.
Given Xia Bitu's personality, this loss was enough for him to annihilate the other party's entire clan.
With so much evidence at hand, Xia Bitu must have been paying attention to the food crisis for a long time.
It is very likely that Xia Bitu collected evidence in order to check and balance the King of the West.
It just came in handy this time.
Of course, Xia Bitu was also thanking him for reminding Qin Zheng when he left the imperial capital.
It was also obvious that this old fox wanted to use Qin Zheng to weaken the power of the King of the Western Territory.
Qin Zheng was of course happy to help. Although he was used by Xia Bitu, it saved him the trouble of investigation.
What's more, he originally wanted to kill one person to warn the rest, otherwise, he would not be able to carry out this mission!
"Leave a few people to protect our supplies, and the rest of you follow me to catch people!" After Tao Yong and others had eaten their fill, Qin Zheng stood up.
Qin Zheng went to Zhang's house with special agents and evidence.
At this moment, no one was entering or leaving the Zhang Mansion except for the carriages.
Everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived, and the party had already begun.
A group of people came to the door.
Several guards at the door quickly stopped Qin Zheng and others.
"What are you doing?" A guard with a fat face and triangular eyes looked at Qin Zheng and asked sternly.
Tao Yong shouted, "Get out of the way! The Imperial Envoy is here!"
Tao Yong thought that the title of imperial envoy would scare the guards.
Unexpectedly, the guard laughed and said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the imperial envoy? The Prime Minister is still in my house! No one is allowed to enter without my master's invitation."
Tao Yong was very surprised. Is he so crazy?
Why turn away the imperial envoy?
Look at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng said calmly: "Kill him!"
Qin Zheng has never had a good impression of these thugs who help the evil.
Without the help of these people, no bully can become rampant.
So, bullies are hateful, and these thugs are even more hateful.
Several guards were shocked. Why did they want to kill us?
Before they could understand what was happening, a cold light flashed and these people's heads fell to the ground!
The banquet hall was decorated with lights and filled with guests, and was filled with laughter and joy, making it extremely lively.
An old man wearing a bright red robe, with white hair and wrinkles on his face, was in high spirits. He raised his glass frequently and invited everyone to drink.
There was only one person sitting at the same table with him, Xia Bitu.
At this moment, Xia Bitu had a faint smile on his old face, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.
How dare you pretend to be his godfather?
If someone pretended to be his grandson, he wouldn't be angry, but pretending to be his godfather, isn't that a humiliation to him?
However, this was arranged by Fifth Master, a very early arrangement.
This old man is Zhang Jinyuan, a major grain merchant in Guanxi.
The Fifth Master asked him to use the name of Prime Minister Xia Bitu's godfather to make things easier for him.
Because of this status, in Guanxi, from the governor to the officials, all treated him with great respect.
No one doubted it, after all, who would dare to pretend to be the prime minister's godfather?
Even the imperial envoys who came to Guanxi did not dare to investigate him, so the food shortage in Guanxi continued for a long time!
Zhang Jinyuan's family, under the banner of Xiabitu, manipulated the grain prices in Guanxi and made a fortune.
He couldn't do it himself, so he had to endure it.
This time, when Qin Zheng came, Xia Bitu didn't want to endure it anymore.
He was sure the monkey boy would be happy to take action.
Qin Zheng was investigating the imperial envoy, so it was normal for him to investigate anyone, and the Fifth Master could not blame Xia Bitu.
Moreover, it can also stir up hatred between Qin Zheng and Wu Ye, killing two birds with one stone!
"Master Zhang, I heard that the court sent two imperial envoys this time. Lord Xia is here, but where is the imperial envoy, Lord Qin?"
At this time, someone asked.
The implication is that since Zhang Jinyuan is such a great honor, both adults should be invited!
Zhang Jinyuan sneered, "You're just a little brat, you're not worthy of my attention."
"Don't worry, everyone. With Master Zhang and his adopted son, the Prime Minister, here, how dare Qin Zheng do anything wrong?" At this time, a fat man in his fifties said, shaking his head.
He also glanced at Xia Bitu and smiled.
That smile conveys a lot of meaning.
This person is Fenghua prefect Qi Baishun.
I came here specially to celebrate Zhang Jinyuan’s birthday.
The fact that he, a prefect, could condescend to come and celebrate Zhang Jinyuan's birthday was not only because he had received many benefits from Zhang Jinyuan, but also because he was the Fifth Master's man.
Xia Bitu is Zhang Jinyuan's godfather and is obviously also Fifth Master's man.
They are all family members. Although they are not completely afraid of Prime Minister Xia Bitu, they are not very scared either.
Moreover, it is a shame that a prime minister actually adopted a businessman who has no official position as his adopted son.
This made him feel that he was much nobler than Xia Bitu in terms of honor and disgrace.
Not only Qi Baishun, but also the grain merchants present looked down on Xia Bitu.
Even contempt for him was extreme. He just didn't dare to show it to his face.
At this moment, Zhang Jinyuan looked at Xia Bitu cheerfully: "My son Bitu, what do you think?"
groove!
Xia Bitu almost jumped up and punched Zhang Jinyuan's old face.
What the hell is “my son”?
I am your ancestor!
