Li Yu said: "Okay, Mrs. Xiong, we will go back and report to Mr. Jiang immediately." After saying that, he carried Mrs. Xiong back to the county government office. Li Yu immediately found Jiang Zhixian and others.
In Jiang Zhixian's study, Jiang Zhixian was sitting on a chair, and Zhu Yue stood aside. Mrs. Xiong stood in front of the two of them. Jiang Zhixian said: "Sister, do you have anything to tell me?"
Mrs. Xiong asked angrily: "Sir, making fake tea and selling private tea are capital crimes?"
After hearing this, County Magistrate Jiang frowned and said, "According to the law of the Song Dynasty, one pound of fake tea sticks is punishable by one hundred. If it exceeds two hundred pounds, it will be abandoned according to the law."
Mrs. Xiong said: "The woman complained that Xiaolin Town's money was not only used to make fake tea in private, but turned it over to the government and sold the real tea to other people."
Jiang Zhixian was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Mrs. Xiong said: "Yes."
Jiang Zhixian said: "Sister, you can't just talk about this kind of thing."
Old lady Xiong began to talk. There is a daughter in the family of Mrs. Xiong’s sister, named Jin Ye. Two years ago, she was attracted by Qian Not Fei. At that time, Qian Not Fei smiled for Pomeranian and spent money like water, which made Jin Ye sink into her with smooth words. The two of them Then there is the reality of husband and wife. When Jin Ye asked Qian Bufei to marry her, she realized that Qian Bufei already had a wife. Now that the deal is done, Jin Ye has no choice but to become Qian Fufei's side house. After Jinye married into Qian's house, because of his careful work and flexible mind, he helped Qian not only manage the family's tea business, but also made it prosperous. The two of them treated each other with respect at the beginning. Jin Ye wanted to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. He spared no effort to help Qian Fei take care of the business. Anyway, all the money he made was his own. But Jin Ye did more and more things, and the two met less and less. With that money, he started to wander around again, getting involved with women everywhere, and later, he took in several concubines. Jin Ye was unwilling to give up, so he went to look for Qian Bufei's theory, and heard the conversation between Qian Bufei and Yiyang Gang Guo Renjie outside the house.
"Exceptor Qian, how are you doing here?"
"I have almost collected the amount of tea leaves. Alas, as for the price of tea collection, it is still a bit expensive, Gang Leader Guo."
"Except Mr. Qian, don't worry, our Yiyang Gang has already started working on this matter. By the next tea season, no one will dare to increase the price of tea."
"That's good. And your goods over there, are they ready?"
"Don't tell me, according to the method given by the Holy Master, we have actually produced tea leaves that are fake and real. When the time comes, we will hand over these tea leaves to the government. As for the real tea leaves, we will sell them privately!"
"Okay, okay! Come and have a drink!"
Jin Ye is the person who runs Qian's tea business. He knows that Qian Fei's approach is adulteration and counterfeiting. If he sells private tea again, it will be a death penalty if he is found out! Jin Ye immediately opened the door and said, "Official! You can't do this kind of business!"
Qian Bufei and Guo Renjie were drinking when they were interrupted by Jin Ye who suddenly broke in. Qian Bufei immediately scolded: "Who let you in?"
Jin Ye said: "Just now, I heard outside the door that you are making fake tea now. You must never do this kind of thing. If you are caught, you will be beheaded!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Fufei immediately rushed forward and covered Jin Ye's mouth, while Guo Renjie leaned out the door and took a look. After making sure there was no one else, he quickly closed the door.
Qian Bufei asked Jin Ye who was struggling desperately: "Did you just hear it outside?" Jin Ye's mouth was covered and he could only whine. Qian Bufei released his hand covering Jin Ye, He asked again in a low voice: "Let me ask you, what did you just hear outside?"
Jin Ye took a breath and said, "I heard that you want to make fake tea and then hand it over to the government." Jin Ye said sincerely: "Our family's business is actually pretty good. We don't have to do such a thing, officials!"
Qian Fufei said: "You don't have to worry about this!"
Jin Ye begged: "Guanren! Even if you don't think about me, you still have to think about our family!"
Guo Renjie said with some sarcasm: "Exceptor Qian, you can't even manage your own woman, right?"
Qian Bufei said in a commanding tone: "Go back quickly! Just pretend you don't know anything about what happened today."
"No! I can't watch you go to the dead end!" Jin Ye patted Qian Fufei's arm and said in a tearful tone.
For him, women are like clothes. If you like something, you buy it and wear it. When you don't like it, you buy a new one and wear it. Qian Fufei, who had no feelings for Jin Ye to begin with, was confused about Jin Ye's current behavior. Qian Feifei's anger surged, he slapped Jin Ye on the face, and said viciously: "I gave you face, didn't I?"
Jin Ye was stunned by Qian Fufei's slap and stood there in a daze. Guo Renjie on the side clapped his hands and said, "Exceptor Qian, you look like a man!"
Guo Renjie's words undoubtedly increased Qian Bufei's arrogance. Qian Bufei said: "You'd better not say a word about what happened today! Otherwise, your old lady at home, hum!" Then he made a beheading gesture. gesture.
Jin Ye said: "That's my mother!"
Qian Fufei said disdainfully: "What's wrong with your mother? Let me tell you, at the beginning I just saw that you were pretty and just wanted to play with you. Do you really think that I have an oath to you? If you couldn't help me, Some business, I have kicked you out a long time ago! Get out of here! If you push me too hard, I will kill you now!"
When Jin Ye heard what Qian Fei said, his heart was cut by a knife, he covered his mouth and ran out. By the next day, all the things Jin Ye had asked her to take care of were handed over to others, and she was imprisoned by Qian Fei, and was not even allowed to see her family members. It wasn't until a year later that Jin Ye's only relative, her mother, passed away. Qian not only asked her to go back to pay for a pawn, but also only gave Jin Ye five taels of silver. The money even included a decent coffin. They couldn't even afford it, which made Jin Ye even more frustrated.
When Jin Ye returned home, he met his mother's sister, Mrs. Xiong. When Jin Ye saw his relatives again, he hugged Old Lady Xiong and burst into tears. To outsiders, they thought Jin Ye was crying because of his mother's death. In fact, only Jin Ye knew the reason. During the wake at night, Jin Ye told the two servants who were watching her that she and her aunt, Mrs. Xiong, would keep watch for her mother, saying that it was unlucky for outsiders to stay away. But these two servants were ordered by Qian Fufei to watch Jin Ye for twelve hours and not let her be alone with others. At that time, Jin Ye's cousin Xiong Pan was also there. Xiong Pan, who was tall and round, walked up to the two people and shouted: "My cousin is going to wake up for my aunt! What are you two doing here?" "Then they walked out, one on each side, pressing the two of them with their elbows.
After Jin Ye saw that his cousin had pushed the person away, he told Mrs. Xiong about it and asked Mrs. Xiong to report it to the official for him. At that time, Mrs. Xiong was also afraid of getting into trouble, so she kept trying to persuade Jin Ye to endure the situation and calm down for the time being. After Jin Ye heard this, he remained speechless and silently guarded his mother's soul. After Xiong Pan left, the two men quietly returned to the mourning hall. They felt relieved when they saw Jin Ye and Old Lady Xiong being completely silent. Three days later, Jin Ye's mother buried him with the help of Mrs. Xiong and Xiong Pan, and Jin Ye was brought back to Qian Mansion.
After hearing this, everyone had sad expressions on their faces. Zhu Shuo asked, "Old man Xiong, why did Xiong Pan become a robber?"
Mrs. Xiong sighed: "That child has never been serious since he was a child. He had a fight with someone six months ago and broke his leg. They asked for compensation, but our family really couldn't afford it. If the other party reported it to the police, if they couldn't get the money, My son was about to be put in jail, so my son took me to escape, met Zhang Haiwei, who was killed that day, and placed us in a jungle." Mrs. Xiong knelt down facing Jiang Zhixian and said: "Now My son is dead, and I have nothing to fear. All I ask is that you must capture Qian Bufei and those people from the Yiyang Gang to comfort my son’s spirit in heaven.”
Magistrate Jiang said: "I already know about this matter, but even if Jin Ye knows about it, we can't bring them to justice without enough evidence."
Zhu said: "If we can see this Mrs. Jin Ye, maybe she can provide us with some clues."
Mrs. Xiong said: "She is imprisoned now, and it is difficult to see her even if she goes to visit her."
Li Yu volunteered and said, "I'll go. I'm willing to sneak into the Qian Mansion to find this Mrs. Jin Ye."
Jiang Zhixian said: "Well, Li Shaoxia, aren't you going to leave with Vice Leader Hua tomorrow?"
"What? Uncle Hua Feng is leaving?" Li Yu asked.
Jiang Zhixian said: "Don't you know, Mr. Li? Vice leader Hua will leave the county government and return to Tokyo tomorrow."
Li Yu showed an incredible expression and ran out immediately. He ran to Hua Feng's room, pushed the door open, and saw Hua Feng and Yuanhao packing their things. Li Yu said, "You didn't even help me find this person! Uncle Hua Feng, why do you want to gone?"
Hua Feng said: "We were originally ordered to catch the robbers escaping here. Now they have been caught. As for how to deal with them, that is a matter for the court and has nothing to do with us."
"But! There is still one person who has not been found! Uncle Hua Feng, you just left like this, what should I do?" Li Yu asked.
Hua Feng said: "You can only rely on yourself for the rest. We can't stay too long."
Li Yu said angrily: "Uncle Hua Feng! You are so irresponsible!"
Hua Feng said sternly: "I am the deputy leader of the Oath Jiang Alliance, and I don't work for you alone! There are still many things in the alliance that I need to deal with!"
After hearing this, Li Yu felt very unhappy and said, "Okay! You go! Without you, I can still find the person!" With that, Li Yu slammed the door and walked out. After Li Yu left, Hua Feng glanced at Yamen Zhang behind the tree outside the door and closed the door.
Just as the afterglow of the setting sun was about to dissipate, a man wearing a bamboo hat walked into the Yiyang Gang.
