Fang Baihua saw the young man beside him, Gao Zhang, slowly fading the smile on his face.
"I don't know if they are father and son together, or just one person..."
Fang Baihua had already learned some inside information from Gao Zhang and couldn't help but subconsciously said.
"Could it be that the Zhu family came to apologize? Otherwise, why would there be so many large cars loaded with things?"
Facing the wind on the embankment, Gao Zhang stood with his hands behind his hands, his hair flying from his temples.
"If an apology can make up for the various mistakes they have committed, then what is the use of the law?"
"The Zhu family and his son have been evil to Jiangnan for a long time. If they are not punished, how can Jiangnan be peaceful and how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
His voice was low, and he answered calmly and calmly. Fang Baihua looked at his not tall figure, but at this moment, he seemed so majestic in her heart.
Gao Zhang strode towards the dock, and Fang Baihua reached out to hold the hilt of the sword at his waist without hesitation, and followed closely step by step.
Zhu Chong rode his horse and rushed to the dock. When he saw the soldiers coming, he immediately got off his horse and showed his identity.
Soon, he was taken aboard a large ship moored at the dock and taken into the cabin.
After waiting uneasily for more than ten breaths in the cabin, I heard the noise coming from outside the cabin door.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a handsome young man with clear features, red lips and white teeth stepping into the cabin.
Behind him, several adults with gloomy expressions followed closely behind, their sharp eyes like knives all falling on Zhu Chong.
One of them, a young man with a white face and no beard, smiled sadly at Zhu Chong.
"The governor's envoy has arrived, Zhu Chong, what are you still doing?"
Although he had known for a long time that the governor was a child, when he saw it, Zhu Chong, who was stunned on the spot, quickly pushed the golden mountain to the jade pillar and fell to the ground.
"I'm paying homage to the governor. I'm an old official and my eyesight is dim and blind. Please don't blame the governor."
"Are you Zhu Chong, the enshrining officer in charge of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau?"
"It's Xiaguan. I'm here, firstly, to pay a visit to the governor, and secondly, to apologize to the two deputy envoys..."
"The lower official was shocked to hear that the two deputy envoys were beaten and injured by gangsters who ransacked Duan's Trading Company in Suzhou City. He immediately..."
Zhu Chong was about to argue with all his strength, but before he could finish his words, he saw the child Gao Zhang, the governor of Liangzhe Road, raise his hand, and could only stop his mouth in embarrassment.
"I'll ask, you answer." Gao Zhang was young but extremely calm.
But his deep gaze with almost no expression made people feel fearful.
"Where is your son Zhu Meng?"
"I reported to the governor that the dog was not in Suzhou due to business. I was afraid that the governor had been waiting for a long time, so I came straight here."
"Were you and your son the ones responsible for looting Duan's Trading Company?"
"Reporting to the governor, Xiaguan had previously purchased a batch of goods from Duan's Trading Company. It must have been when those dogs went to pick them up that they saw the property in Duan's Trading Company and became ill-willed.
This is also the fault of our father and son for not being strict with our subordinates. The lower officials have already brought all these evil beasts and asked the governor and the two deputy envoys to deal with them. "
"In addition, I have ordered people to deliver all the property that was taken by mistake. I also presented ten carts of silk and satin, three thousand taels of gold..."
Hearing the amount of money, all the people present twitched their eyelids.
Gao Zhang looked at Zhu Chong, who was scheming and wanted to use his power to settle everything.
It's a pity, how could it be possible that what I want is just the money you sent me?
What I want is the lives of you, father and son, as well as the people’s fat and oil that you have been wreaking havoc on Jiangnan over the years.
#####
Gao Zhang stood up and went straight into the tunnel.
"Zhu Chong, Zhu Chong, I originally thought that you and your son knew how to repay kindness.
Unexpectedly, you and your son, relying on the trust that Cai Xiang and Tong Wen observed in you, would prey on the common people in the Jiangnan area and plunder them.
If there is an official who does not suit your father and son's wishes, you will fabricate charges to frame the imperial officials.
The heavy taxes in the Song Dynasty made people angry and resentful, and the various behaviors of your father and son over the years are simply too numerous to describe..."
"This is not over yet. You actually dare to conspire to rebel. After the two deputy envoys Cai and Tong found out the true identity of your father and son, you actually want to attack and kill the imperial officials."
Faced with Gao Zhang's violent spray, Zhu Chong's whole body was numbed by the spray.
He stared blankly at this little baby governor who was talking nonsense. He could talk nonsense better than himself, so he couldn't help but subconsciously raise his voice.
"Is there any misunderstanding, Governor? Are you sure what you said..."
"Shut up!" Gao Zhang pointed his sword at Zhu Chong's eyebrows and said coldly.
"When you father and son are together, I will have a good relationship with you."
After that, Gao Zhang didn't stop and walked away quickly. Zhu Chong looked at the young governor who suddenly turned his back and left with a confused look on his face.
Just as he was about to get up and catch up to explain, he saw the gloomy expressions of the two strong men standing in the cabin holding knives.
"Get out of the way. I want to see the governor. We and our son definitely did not conspire to rebel. This is definitely someone who has ulterior motives to frame me and let me out."
Before he could finish his words, one of the strong men grabbed Zhu Chong impatiently and struck the back of his head with the back of his knife.
With just one move, Zhu Chong, who had been running rampant in Jiangnan for many years, rolled his eyes and fell limply to the ground.
At this time, the man who had been standing in the darkness, with a smile that was not only devoid of sunlight but made people look sinister, walked up to Zhu Chong.
He came forward with a piece of paper that was completely the same as Zhu Chong's usual handwriting, filled with a confession of the Zhu family's and his son's treacherous acts.
Wrapping Zhu Chong's hand in the sealing pad, he stamped his signature with thoughtful service.
After taking a closer look, he nodded with satisfaction, nodded towards the two guards carrying swords and gave instructions.
"Okay, drag on, remember to watch..."
#####
Gao Zhang stepped out of the cabin and came to the deck, looked at the team that was still a little overwhelmed at the moment, turned to Yang Douzhi and explained.
"Yang Duzhi, arrest all those who are accompanying you, and don't let anyone escape."
"Send fast horses again to find out where the soldiers and horses of the two commanders are."
"Also, let the imperial city detectives who are still lurking in Suzhou City keep an eye on the Zhu family's old residence and Tongyuan. If there is anything unusual, report it as soon as possible without making any mistakes."
"Yes, our family will deal with it right away."
As Yang Douzhi left, soon, the soldiers who gathered around him shouted sharply and sharply, causing the convoy below to become noisy and panicked with the Zhu family guards.
Lu Qian and Fang Baihua both approached Gao Zhang who was standing on the side of the cabin and looked warily at the scene under the boat.
