"Well, I don't need to tell you what happened. The stuff on the roof should be the stolen goods this time.
In order to avoid accidents, you should line up and ask the Master first to find out what is missing from your home and what its characteristics are. After confirming that the items on it are indeed your belongings, you can then sign and take them away.
If not, I will go back and wait for the court to find out. I will give you an explanation then. "
Wang Defa said.
Having just been assassinated, Wang Defa was already frightened. If he wasn't worried that there were Jin Yiwei among them, Wang Defa would have sent them all away immediately.
"The one I lost at home is a black cotton coat. There are three holes here, here, and here."
Because of what just happened, these people were a little scared, so they lined up to register as required.
After all, as the old saying goes to poor people, time is the least valuable thing.
"My lord, here's the ladder."
Soon a boy came over carrying a ladder.
"You two go find a few common people to help and try to get this matter settled today. Remember not to use those petty thoughts, otherwise you will find your own death. Don't blame me for not saving you."
"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely keep this in mind." Several servants said.
If it were before, they would never let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.
But now they absolutely dare not, for no other reason, because everyone understands that the reason why Mr. Wang can become the prefect of Suzhou is
It's because the former prefect was killed by a thousand cuts because of corruption and extortion of bribes.
...
After finding the stolen goods, things became much easier to deal with. Many people took their belongings and went back happily. When they went back, they didn't forget to give Wang Defa a pat on his ass.
Wang Defa could only smile awkwardly. At the same time, care about whether these people are being bullied.
...
"Hey, what a mistake."
In a secret room of a certain temple, the old monk said helplessly.
"Let's start plan B." The old monk said impatiently.
"No, Suzhou County soldiers have blocked all streets and are conducting extensive searches in Suzhou on the pretext of looking for traitors."
A middle-aged monk stumbled into the secret room and said.
"He is checking them. We are law-abiding monks and don't care." The old monk said.
The Suzhou magistrate failed to be eliminated, nor did he cause unrest in Suzhou. It was even more nonsense to attract the attention of the surrounding garrison.
Now that the county soldiers are dispatched, I no longer have the upper hand here, so the only way is to carefully pretend not to know.
Anyway, there was no human evidence or material evidence, so the county soldiers did not dare to act recklessly.
.....
"All ships leave the shore and are not allowed to approach the dock without official orders."
With the arrival of a team of county soldiers, the busy crowd in front of Suzhou Pier suddenly became quiet, and countless businessmen hated the imperial court's centralized salt transportation.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Today’s ships are all wooden ships, and one of the characteristics of wooden ships is that they are easy to catch fire.
The salt transportation is related to the stability of the northern Ming Dynasty, and it is normal for those merchant ships to give way along the way.
Less than an hour after the Suzhou Pier was cleared, a huge fleet came over in a mighty manner.
Ming Dynasty's salt transport ships officially arrived in Suzhou.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. The banquet has been set up at Zuixianglou. I would like to invite some of you to give me some thin noodles." Wang Defa said.
The imperial court strictly prohibited officials from doing business or attending banquets held by others. At the same time, it greatly restricted the consumption of the three public servants.
After finally getting an opportunity to eat meat and drink openly, Wang Defa would not let it go.
