"Mr. Pangda, you are really clever. Those people who were sent to the Chamber of Commerce to seize the account books must have been sent by you, right? You came to raid my house, Hu Shounan, today to avenge the dozen or so of your men who died, right?"
Hu Shounan is a smart man. When he saw Pang An, he understood who the people who broke into his chamber of commerce belonged to.
Before, he thought it was a little thief and didn't pay attention. Now it seems that he thought too simply.
"Boss Hu, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Da Sima has ordered that anyone who defrauds the imperial court of property through improper means will be punished by death. You, the Juxin Chamber of Commerce, use fraudulent means to defraud the imperial court of money. This is a heinous crime. No one in your chamber of commerce can escape."
"The same goes for your Hu family."
"Come here, go and kill all the Hu family."
"Leave no chickens or dogs behind."
Pang An did not fall for Hu Shounan's deception. He did not admit to his face that those people were sent by him. However, he also did not let Hu Shounan go.
His men's deaths would not be in vain.
He wanted Hu Shounan to pay with blood.
"Pang An, how dare you..."
When Hu Shounan heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Hu Shounan, you can't recognize your identity. You are just a businessman, but you have the audacity to manipulate the market with what you think is a clever way to extort my Grand Sima's [money]. You really don't know how to live or die."
"The wealth of your Hu family has come to an end."
"Someone, do it."
Pang An was unmoved, and with a wave of his hand, his soldiers immediately took action and started fighting.
He understood that Hu Shounan had a large network of connections. If he didn't kill the people in advance, he would be afraid of changes. After all, there were many people who could make his family leader compromise. He couldn't miss this opportunity to massacre the Hu family.
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
The two soldiers wielded their swords and hacked to death the concubine Hu Shounan had just hugged.
"ah--"
"Xiao Cui, my baby..."
"Pang An, we will fight to the death."
Hu Shounan said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pang An took the knife from his subordinate.
Walking towards Hu Shounan step by step.
"Pang, what are you going to do? You, don't mess around."
"Kill me and you won't be able to eat and walk around."
Hu Shounan was afraid.
He could see that Pang An wanted to kill him.
"Hu Shounan, didn't you just want to fight to the death with me? Then today I will eradicate your Hu family and kill you too. I'll see how you fight with me to the death."
Pang An said coldly.
"you--"
When Hu Shounan heard this, his momentum suddenly stagnated. He knew that he had no way to deal with Pang An.
When a man is powerful and has a knife in his hand, he is just a businessman.
At this time, it was too late for him to regret it.
Xin said that he should not have cooperated with Mr. Hong in the first place.
He is too greedy.
Now it leads to the disaster of annihilation.
"Hu Shounan, you are too arrogant in your work. In the final analysis, you are just a businessman. You have no military power, and I don't know where you got the courage. You covet the money of the imperial court."
"That was all before, but now, you actually have your mind set on our eldest Sima."
"If you say you don't die, who will?"
Pang An is also a ruthless person.
As he spoke, he raised his knife and killed Hu Shounan.
Pierce it with a knife.
"you--"
Hu Shounan never imagined that such a day would come to him until his death.
He has always boasted that he has huge financial resources and a strong official backing. He can get wind and rain when he wants, and there is nothing he can't handle. However, now that he has ended up with everyone being executed, he is filled with regret.
"Remember to be a low-key person in the next life. There are some people you cannot afford to offend. At the same time, I also say hello to my dozen or so dead subordinates. I avenged them."
As soon as Pang An said these words, he took out the knife in his hand.
Afterwards, Hu Shounan fell to the ground unwillingly.
he died.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
At this time, people from Tingwei Mansion came.
The leader is Zhang Shixin.
"Well--"
Zhang Shixin was dumbfounded.
He walked over and looked at Hu Shounan, who had just been stabbed to death. He said to the government officials around him: "Remember, Hu Shounan resisted arrest and was imprisoned. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
A group of government officials immediately replied that they did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Master Pangda, how do you think you should explain this matter to Da Sima?"
Zhang Shixin sent his men away, and then asked Pang An in a low voice.
"I should explain this matter clearly to Da Sima, and I will not embarrass Master Zhang."
Pang An said.
"..."
Zhang Shixin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He had Hu Shounan's body carried away.
Hu Hansan's body was also sent to Tingwei Yamen by Yuan Wei, in the name of assisting in the search for Hu family criminals.
Pang An continued to lead people to search the Hu family's properties, including those of the Juxin Chamber of Commerce. Every store and shopkeeper was searched.
The partners behind Juxin Chamber of Commerce are also indispensable.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
One carriage after another brought all the belongings to [Shanglin Garden] for storage.
This time too many dignitaries, officials and businessmen were involved.
All parties involved in the case were imprisoned in the [Tingwei Mansion] prison, and their property was confiscated.
There was no wealth confiscated this time, about eight million taels. This was just cash, plus the antiques, houses, shops, and accessories, there were at least sixteen million taels.
After learning this astonishing number, Yuan Ke finally understood why the court was so poor at the end of each dynasty.
All the wealth fell into the hands of these businessmen and officials.
Grand Sima Mansion, meeting hall.
After Yuan Ke carefully read the report materials sent by Pang An, he immediately became furious. However, he did not use any foul language. He would go to court in person tomorrow to determine the nature of the matter.
He wants to take advantage of the situation to suppress the increasingly rampant corruption.
Right now, he had something to attack Pang An.
"I heard that you killed Hu Shounan."
he asks.
"My lord, I am guilty."
Pang An said and knelt down.
"Don't plead guilty, tell me why? You should understand that I want to make a fuss about Hu Shounan. Now, you have killed him, what should I do?"
When Yuan Ke heard this, he couldn't help asking questions.
"you say!"
He didn't want his subordinates to make arbitrary decisions, at least not on matters he had ordered.
Pang An's behavior today violated his taboo, which made him very unhappy.
"My lord, I am guilty."
Pang An continued to admit his mistake.
He understood that today's reckless behavior had indeed brought trouble to Yuan Ke, but he did not regret it. He wanted to avenge his subordinates who died tragically.
More than a dozen of his subordinates were killed by Hu Shounan, a grudge he would never forget.
"You, you-"
"I asked you something, do you only have these two words?"
"Are you trying to kill me in a hurry?"
Yuan Ke said dissatisfied.
"My lord, I understand that I have brought you trouble today, but I have no regrets. That Hu Shounan killed a dozen of his subordinates who I sent to search for evidence. I, I want to avenge them."
Faced with Yuan Ke's pressure, Pang An still told the truth.
"What? You lost more than a dozen of your subordinates because of this? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew about it, I would have skinned him."
When Yuan Ke heard this, he immediately slapped the table and became angry.
He also didn't expect that Hu Shounan's incident would be involved in such a major case.
Hu Shounan deserves to die for killing his subordinates.
The Hu family should also die.
"My lord, I dare not speak out. Everything was done improperly by my command."
"The sin of the minister."
Pang An took responsibility for himself.
"alright."
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention this matter. As for the brothers who died in the accident, I will give him a living."
"Also record their deeds."
"I cannot forget their efforts."
Yuan Ke said.
"yes!"
After sending Pang An away, Yuan Ke's eyes became colder and colder.
Hu Shounan dared to kill someone.
Everything stems from the fact that he has someone behind him.
Yuan Hong?
He felt that this uncle, who was called a hermit, should also die.
If this person is not dead, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"Come here, call the rain to transform the fields to see me."
Afterwards, Yuhuatian strode in.
"Greetings to the Lord!"
"How is the investigation of Yuan Hong's situation?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"When we returned to the Lord, our people went to his residence and found that no one was already there."
"Now, the slaves are sending more manpower to secretly search for Yuan Hong's whereabouts."
Yuhuatian reports.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Yuan Ke tapped the table gently.
Now it seems that this Yuan Hong is really troublesome.
This person cannot stay.
"Sir, although Yuan Hong was not found, we discovered other circumstances. This Yuan Hong has a sweetheart. We have sent people to ambush this sweetheart's home. As soon as Yuan Hong shows up, we will arrest him immediately. "
Yu Hua Tian reports.
"No, it's not an arrest. Once Yuan Hong's whereabouts are discovered, he will be killed without mercy. No matter what the cost, this potential threat must be killed."
Yuan Ke shook his head.
He changed his mind and Yuan Hong could no longer stay.
This man is a scourge.
"promise!"
Yuhuatian didn't understand why Yuan Ke changed his mind, but as a slave, he only knew how to obey orders.
He would kill whoever Yuan Ke asked him to kill.
