"Has the letter from Xujiazhuang been delivered?" Master Jia said in a low voice. 5 eight 5 eight 5 read 5 books, o
Standing in front of him, Shi Baotou nodded slightly and said, "The news was sent to Jiqing Gambling House. It should have reached Xujiazhuang by now."
"That's good." Master Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Shi asked in a low voice, "Isn't the case of the Xu family closed? Why is it being retried again? The eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Shunqing, was killed by the people of the Tiger Flag. Why does another victim appear?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You saw Xu Shunqing being killed with your own eyes." Master Jia glared at Mr. Shi in front of him.
Shi Baotou curled his lips and said, "I haven't seen the body, but no one has shown up for so long. Besides being dead, Master, do you think there is any other possibility?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe you are visiting relatives." Master Jia said.
Shi Baotou grinned and said, "The Xu family's biggest relative is in Datong. If the Xu family's eldest son was still alive, he would have shown up long ago. Instead, Xu Shunping showed up. Who among us in Lingqiu doesn't know what that thing is."
"No matter what it was like before, Xu Shunping is Master Xu now. Be careful when you speak and don't yell. No one can save you if you get into trouble." Master Jia reminded.
The head catcher Shi sneered, "It's good to have relatives who are well-connected, rich, and powerful. A tiger on the street can become a young master in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that the catcher like me doesn't have such wealthy relatives."
"Okay, just be patient. Once the county magistrate finishes the case, this young master will be of little use," Master Jia said.
From the time Xu Shunping followed the governor's staff to the county government office, after several contacts, he realized that Xu Shunping was a tool used by others. Even though he shouted "young master, young master, short master" all day long, people never came to the governor's government office. Take him seriously. Eighty-eight reading, o
Shi Baotou said in a low voice, "Master Jia, why do you think a person as big as the governor cares about such a trivial matter of the Xu family? He even sent his aides here. I heard that this aide also has the honor of being a civil servant."
Master Jia said, "The Xu family in Lingqiu is a relative of the governor. The whole family died because of Liu Heng. Now that they are powerful, they naturally want to reverse the case."
"I can't see." Shi Daotou shook his head twice.
Master Jia looked at Shi Baotou and asked, "Do you know something?"
Mr. Shi looked around, covered his mouth with his hand and said, "The staff sent by the governor often asked the detectives below me about the Tiger Flag, and all the questions he asked were related to the Tiger Flag. Industry, but I don’t care much about Xu Youcai’s family.”
"Don't talk nonsense." Master Jia's expression tightened.
"How can this be nonsense?" Shi Baotou said, "Go and ask the people in the other houses to see if I am right. I think it is false that the governor is seeking revenge for the Xu family. He is targeting the tiger." The flag’s money is real.”
Master Jia said angrily, "Even if it's what you said, it doesn't matter to us. Just be your errand."
"It doesn't matter." Shi Baotou said with a slightly excited tone, "Who is Liu Heng? At best, he is the proprietor of the tiger flag. At worst, he is a man-eating tiger. If the opponent is annoyed, he will directly raise his troops. zàofǎn, I dare not say it in other places, our Lingqiu will definitely not be able to stop it. You and I both know that Tiger Character Banner makes its own cannons, and there are more than one. The city wall of our Lingqiu has long been in disrepair, and one cannon shot down, A large area collapsed directly, so what can we do to block the cannon?"
"Alas" Master Jia sighed.
How could he not know that the tiger-character flag was no longer what it was when it competed with the Xu family for Dongshan? It had now become a man-eating beast.
With the strength of Tiger Character Flag, it may not be able to defeat Ming Dynasty, but it can definitely mess up Datong.
When that day comes, Lingqiu will be the first to bear the brunt and cannot even block it. Just like what Shi Baotou said, a large area of the city wall will collapse with one shot, and there is no way to stop the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag. .
"Master Jia, Shi Baotou."
The two people were talking when they suddenly heard someone calling them.
Looking back, I found that Staff Zhang from the governor's Yamen came in from outside.
"It turns out to be Staff Officer Zhang." Master Jia bowed his hand towards Staff Officer Zhang.
"I've met Staff Zhang." Shi Baotou saluted.
"You're welcome," Staff Zhang said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Guo is in the back office?"
Shi Captou said, "The master is at the back office, and the younger one will lead the way for Staff Zhang."
"No need." Staff Zhang waved his hand and said, "I can just go there myself."
After saying that, he walked away and went straight to the back office.
Shi Captou looked at Zhang Wenhe's leaving figure and said in a low voice, "This is another time to force our master to try the Xu family case."
"He is not forcing the county magistrate. He is forcing the man-eating tiger to eat people." Master Jia sighed.
Yamen Houyamen.
Guo Binchang leaned on the back of the chair, holding the hot tea brought by his servant.
"Master Guo."
Just this sound made Guo Binchang not fall off his seat.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, please sit down quickly." Guo Binchang greeted warmly, and then told the servants on the side, "Hurry and serve tea to Mr. Zhang."
The servant picked up the kettle on the side, made a cup of hot tea, and brought it over.
Zhang Wenhe took the tureen and put it aside. He looked at Guo Binchang and said, "Mr. Guo, seeing that the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, I wonder when the Xu family's case will be re-tried."
"This" Guo Binchang hesitated.
Zhang Wenhe said, "Mr. Guo, you should know that this case was handed down by the governor. You can't hide from it."
"Of course I understand, but" Guo Binchang hesitated and said, "the key is that the Xu family's case lacks a perpetrator, and it is difficult for me to go to court to investigate the case."
"Didn't I already bring the suffering master?" Zhang Wenhe frowned.
Guo Binchang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhang may not know that the sufferer you brought here is just a tiger on the street. The people of Lingqiu all know that he has no contact with the Xu family for a long time, so he cannot be regarded as a sufferer."
Zhang Wenhe took a look at Guo Binchang and said, "Whether Xu Shunping is the master of suffering or not, Mr. Guo, it doesn't matter if you say it, nor does it matter if I say it. The governor has to say it."
"Mr. Zhang is right." Guo Binchang agreed.
It is said that the first-level official is the most powerful person. The governor is the second-level official. He is just a seventh-level county magistrate. There is a gap in the middle that he may not be able to catch up with in his lifetime.
Zhang Wenhe's tone softened slightly and he said, "Mr. Guo, don't hesitate. Sooner or later, the case will be brought to court for interrogation. You can't hide from it. Why bother to make the governor unhappy just because of a businessman?"
Guo Binchang smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this.
If he were an ordinary businessman, he would have gone to court to investigate. The key point is that this businessman is not ordinary, he is simply a ferocious tiger that eats people.
Even he, the county magistrate, was extremely reluctant to provoke this ferocious tiger that might eat people at any time. 11
