"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The officers from the Yamen rushed outside Wang's shop.
At this time, many people knew that something happened to Wang's shop. Everyone inside was killed, and the neighbors and some idle people gathered outside to watch the fun.
The police officer and the gangster entered Wang's shop.
There were three floors inside and three floors outside of the crowd watching the excitement on the street, blocking most of the street.
Everyone craned their necks to look inside Wang's shop. Unfortunately, there were guards guarding the door, so outsiders had no chance to get close to Wang's shop.
Although people outside could not see what was going on inside, no one left.
When there are more people, there will naturally be nothing to fear.
Even Shopkeeper Xu, who was frightened before, now stayed outside the shop waiting to see what was going on inside.
After half the time of burning incense, the servants from the shop came out carrying corpses one by one.
"Why are there so many monks?"
Some people in the crowd on the street saw that among the corpses carried out by the guards, several of them had bald heads.
"What monk? These are slaves and thieves. Didn't you see that there is a braid on the back of the head?" A knowledgeable person explained to the people around him.
"Aren't the slave thieves in Liaodong? Why are they here in our Xuan Mansion?"
"You still have to ask, these slave thieves must have killed the people in the shop. In the end, I was also killed by the people in the shop and died together."
Many people in the crowd looked at the person who said this as if they were a fool.
Someone on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said, "These slaves and thieves have all taken off their clothes. They are probably people living in the shop. I'm afraid the real murderer is someone else."
"If you ask me to kill them well, these slave thieves are not good people. I heard that many Han people were killed in Liaodong."
There are also many people in Xuanfu who have fled from Liaodong. It has long been known to the people of Xuanfu that slave thieves massacred Han people without restraint in Liaodong.
"Look at these slaves, do they look familiar? They seem to be the people that Boss Wang brought with him yesterday."
Someone who lived on this street recognized the identity of these slaves and thieves.
"The Wang family is fornicating with slave thieves!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted this.
However, just such a sentence, like a drop of water in a hot oil pan, instantly made the crowd boil.
Many people yelled and cursed.
Some angry people in the crowd even picked up dirt and trash on the ground and threw it at the corpses of slaves who were carried out by the guards.
Even some of the guards were hit by objects thrown by the crowd.
"Back off, back off, everyone back off, whoever dares to throw things around will be arrested and taken to the Yamen."
One of the guards yelled loudly and drew his sword at the same time.
Some officers began to drive away the crowd to prevent them from getting too close to the body outside the shop door.
The pawnshop owner, who was among the crowd, retreated from the crowd.
"Wang Dengku deserves it! He actually dares to liaise with slaves and thieves. This time the entire Wang family in Yanqing will be implicated by him." Shopkeeper Xu, who retreated from the crowd first, said to the pawnshop owner who walked aside.
The pawnshop owner smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Xu should be happy when something like this happened to the Wang family in Yanqing. The Wang family in Yanqing has always been your Huang family's business rival."
"Our proprietor cannot do such a thing of fornicating with slaves and thieves." Shopkeeper Xu said sarcastically, and then walked towards his shop.
The pawn shop owner looked at the leaving figure of Shopkeeper Xu and smiled lightly.
With such a big incident happening to the Wang family in Yanqing, shopkeeper Xu was probably in a hurry to send a message to the owner behind it.
Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that the Yanqing Wang family is doomed. As long as there is one liaison with a slave thief, no one will save the Yanqing Wang family. The only fate waiting for the Yanqing Wang family is to be liquidated.
The owner behind the pawn shop is an official, he is just the manager of the pawn shop.
He knew very well that there were some things he could do but not say.
If the Yanqing Wang family's affair with slaves and thieves is not known to outsiders, at least it cannot be widely known as it is now, then the Yanqing Wang family still has a way to survive. As long as it is managed properly, maybe no one will care about this kind of thing.
As it is now known to everyone, even ordinary people know that the Yanqing royal family is having an affair with slaves and thieves, and the government will punish the Yanqing royal family even to keep it quiet.
What made him curious was who were the people who killed these slave thieves and Wang Denku.
Did these people kill people because Wang Dengku had an affair with a slave thief, or was it just a coincidence.
In his mind, he was more inclined to the first possibility.
He had seen all the corpses carried out by the policemen. Each corpse had fatal wounds on its neck. Some corpses even looked like their necks had been cut in their sleep. It was impossible to notice that the murderer was very sophisticated in his movements.
The corpse taken out of Wang's shop did not stay for long and was quickly sent to the Yamen.
The officers also left the Wang family's shop, leaving only a seal on the shop door.
"Something happened to me, something big happened."
Butler Tian trotted all the way to the room where Tian Shenglan was.
"Why are you panicking! Tell me slowly, what happened?" Tian Shenglan frowned, a little dissatisfied with the instability of his housekeeper.
Butler Tian said breathlessly: "Something happened to Boss Wang. Yesterday, last night, Boss Wang and those Jin people were all killed. Their bodies were found in the Wang family's shop early this morning. Now everyone in the city is talking about the Wang family in Yanqing." Fornication with slaves and thieves.”
"What! You said that Wang Denku and Jin Ren were killed." Tian Shenglan was shocked.
You know, Wang Dengku brought the Jin people to the Tian family the day before, but was killed at night. He was worried that Wang Dengku's affair with slaves and thieves would implicate the Tian family.
It's easy to say anything behind this kind of thing, but once it gets bigger, the government will probably take action on Shanxi merchants in order to keep their reputation.
The Yanqing Wang family themselves were Shanxi merchants from Xuanfu, and they also had many contacts with other Shanxi merchants.
Once the government pinned the label of liaison with slave thieves on the heads of Shanxi merchants, they couldn't explain it, especially when Wang Dengku took the Jin people to their Tian family. This kind of thing can be found out with just one investigation.
After standing for a while, Butler Tian was able to catch his breath. At this time, he asked: "Master, what should we do? Has Boss Wang brought people to our house?"
"Damn Wang Dengku." Tian Shenglan slapped the table with her hand bitterly.
I regretted that I should not have met Wang Denku and those golden men yesterday.
Butler Tian hesitated and said: "Master, otherwise we beg Mr. Pei. If Mr. Pei comes forward, even if the government knows that Wang Denku has been to our Tian family, for the sake of Mr. Pei, they will not really blame our Tian family."
"What do you know? Those officials are the most ruthless and unjust. Once it is known that Wang Denku and the Jin people have been to the Tian family, I am afraid that Mr. Pei will be the first to abandon the Tian family." Tian Shenglan scolded his housekeeper.
Having been in business for many years, he knew these officials very well. The fact that Jin people came to Tian's house was not a last resort and Pei Hong must not know about it.
