Chapter 741: The truth comes to light
The Qiantang merchants in the hall were all uneasy. They had also heard about Mr. Huang's methods. Since Mr. Huang came to power, the murderous atmosphere in the court has been particularly strong.
If it's just a minor crime, that's fine. At most, you can get out after being slapped on the board a few times and locked up for a few days. However, this kind of collusion with gangsters and aiding the tyrants in their crimes, according to Mr. Huang's decisiveness in killing, I am afraid that not even the wives, concubines, children in the family will be spared.
Seeing Mr. Huang bring up the topic of the White Lotus Sect, Bi Yuntao suddenly understood, damn, this old man was completely prepared. He must have known for a long time that the Tao family had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, so he secretly helped the Xue family to defeat Tao Pengju today. What a brilliant move. After treating me as a gunman, this Huang Wenyu is indeed not a fuel-efficient person.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Mr. Huang smiled slightly, but said slowly: "However, people are not saints, how can they be without faults? Considering that some colleagues made mistakes just because they were confused for a moment, I will Everyone has a chance. No matter who you are, or how deep your relationship is with White Lotus, as long as you explain the problem clearly to me at the specified time and at the specified place, and how much money you have donated to the White Lotus Sect, you will pay double the amount. The treasury will be used as atonement, and I will promise not to let go of the blame, and will keep it a secret for you, so that you can continue to do business with peace of mind."
Bi Yuntao sweated profusely. This old man was really good at it. He even used bluffs, deceptions, and coercion and inducements. These businessmen were all smart, but they couldn't compare with a veteran in officialdom like Mr. Huang. They would definitely be beaten to death by him.
Bi Yuntao definitely didn't believe it that Old Huang had the list in his hands. How could those soldiers and crab generals caught yesterday reveal such important information? The old man was obviously trying to coerce and lure him, setting up a trap for people to infiltrate. .
If it were him, he would definitely not take the bait. Such a simple purpose can be seen clearly at a glance. If Mr. Huang really had mastered that list, would there be any need to talk so earnestly here? Officers and soldiers had been sent to capture the man on the spot.
The chambers of commerce in these two places ended in a fight, a competition, and a threat. In terms of excitement, that year's annual meeting could not keep up with one-tenth of this year's. When it comes to fear, the one in that year is not as good as one percent of this year, especially for those businessmen who have evil intentions in their hearts.
After everyone else had almost left, Mr. Huang shamelessly stopped Bi Yuntao and said with a smile: "Brother Bi, don't leave in a hurry. Please tell me the method of washing hands in oil pans quickly. I'm curious." It’s so tight.”
The second-ranking official of the imperial court who held the power of life and death just now, and this curious little old man in front of him, this old man Huang, is really a strange person. Xue Ruyue also said curiously: "Brother Tao, please tell me quickly."
"Yes, yes. Bi Yuntao, please hurry up and stop showing off." After the man finished speaking, Bi Yuntao was stunned. He stared blankly at the jumping little pepper in front of him, feeling like he was in a dream. It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"What are you looking at!" He Yuqing stared at Bi Yuntao with his hands on his hips, "I've never seen a beautiful woman before!"
Bi Yuntao retorted rudely: "I have seen beautiful women, but I have never seen such a shameless woman."
"You!" He Yuqing glared angrily and snorted, "I don't have the same knowledge as you!"
"Hey!" Bi Yuntao smiled disdainfully, "You're not that big, but you have a pretty bad temper. Could it be that your temper is proportional to your size?"
"Try saying something again!" This time He Yuqing was really angry. He took out the riding crop from his waist and pointed at Bi Yuntao's nose angrily. Her size is the thing where she feels most inferior, and it has become a subtle disadvantage to her.
"Okay, Yu Qing." Meng Ruolang stood up in time to block the gap between her and Bi Yuntao, and said, "Brother is just joking with you, don't take it seriously."
"Brother Meng, you heard what he said just now. Are you kidding me? He is clearly provoking me!" He Yuqing stamped his feet angrily, but still obeyed what Meng Ruolang said and obediently The riding crop was wrapped around his waist again.
This time, Bi Yuntao was stunned, his mouth widened, and he stared at the two of them dumbfounded. Has this little pepper ever had such a cute side? Even in front of his eldest brother He Juncong, he dared to say a few words angrily. Now in front of Meng Ruolang, the well-behaved girl seemed to have changed into a well-educated lady.
Not only Bi Yuntao, but also Xue Ruyue's eyes were in disbelief. She was not because of He Yuqing's cleverness, but because He Yuqing actually knew Meng Ruolang.
Even though the He family caravan was looked down upon by everyone in the world, to Meng Ruolang, the son of the Left Prime Minister, the He family was just a commoner with some influence at best, and it was impossible for the two to get to know each other. But now it seems that He Yuqing and Meng Ruolang are very familiar with each other, and they have reached the point of obeying their words. How could this not shock Xue Ruyue.
"Meng Ruolang, do you two know each other?" Bi Yuntao was the first to react and said to Meng Ruolang.
"Haha, we have known each other for a long time." Meng Ruolang said with a smile.
He Yuqing snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether we know each other or not?"
"Yu Qing!" Meng Ruolang scolded with a straight face.
He Yuqing immediately calmed down, pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I have been cooperating with you in acting since the Xue family was invited. I even went all the way to Qiantang, and I don't know how to praise someone. .”
He Yuqing's muttering voice was not quiet at all, and was not carried behind anyone's back. Everyone present could hear it clearly.
Meng Ruolang didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this, so he could only keep his temper and comforted: "Okay, okay, Yu Qing is the best. Yu Qing was elected as the number one hero. Without Yu Qing's outstanding acting skills, today's plan would not be so smooth." . Brother Meng will take you to eat delicious food soon."
"That's pretty much it." Hearing Meng Ruolang's compliment, He Yuqing immediately beamed.
Bi Yuntao couldn't digest so much news for a while, so he hurriedly stopped the conversation between the two of them, "Wait a moment and let me sort it out!"
"If I heard correctly, is it all an act for Little Pepper to act so close to Tao Pengju?"
"That's right." Meng Ruolang said with a smile, "Brother, you must have guessed a thing or two about the purpose of my coming here. To be honest, when I came here this time, I learned that the Tao family had colluded with the White Lotus traitor. "
"I have known Yu Qing since childhood, so I deliberately got rid of Yu Qing and asked her to do this favor for me. I lured the Tao family here step by step and tried to get the Tao family's business. Without the Tao family's money With transportation and support, the White Lotus Sect is like having its hands and feet cut off, and will soon throw a rat weapon. Then it will be a great opportunity for us to catch them all."
