Because Mingyue City has developed commerce, especially the salt and iron trade, as well as grain transportation, many of which need to be transported by water, the river defense camp came into being. It is mainly responsible for managing and combating various smuggling; at the same time, it escorts the transportation of some strategic and livelihood supplies. Because there are also vicious beasts in some places along both sides of the river.
Sang Qian replied calmly: "The river defense camp is also responsible for stabilizing local security. There are so many people gathered here tonight. If you are not careful, it will cause a large-scale stampede. I am here to ask, and It’s reasonable.”
"I'm afraid I won't bother Commander Sang with this." A soft voice came.
Immediately, a group of government officials poured in from the door. The first one was holding a paper fan and had a face as white as jade. He looked like a handsome young man.
"Is this person a boy or a girl?"
"Shh, you don't want your life. This is the son of the city lord's family."
……
Zu An was stunned. He didn't expect to see this male-female Xie Xiu again. He didn't quite understand why the emperors and nobles in history liked to keep male pets, but if those male pets grew up like this, it wouldn't be...
Bah, what nonsense are you thinking about?
Sang Qian couldn't help but his eyes narrowed when he saw Xie Xiu coming in: "It turns out to be Mr. Xie, but if I remember correctly, Mr. Xie should still be studying at Mingyue College now and has no official position. He has so many calls. Yamen, I’m afraid something is wrong.”
Xie Xiu put away her fan and smiled slightly: "Of course I didn't bring these government servants. I was just drinking in the Tianxian Building next door and saw Uncle Pang coming with a group of people. I followed him out of curiosity. Right, Uncle Pang."
A pot-bellied figure rushed in from outside, holding on to his official hat as he walked. It could be seen that the journey was quite tiring.
"This man is Pang Chun, the county lieutenant in the city. He has a fifth-level cultivation and is the third-in-command of Mingyue City. He has always been on good terms with our Chu family. Don't talk nonsense and bump into him." Chu Chuyan was worried about his ancestors. Ankou spoke without restraint and hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
Zu An nodded with a strange expression. The man named Chun didn't know what his parents thought when they named him.
However, Chu Chuyan’s words also revealed some information. It seems that the relationship between the Chu family and the city lord is good. However, Chu Zhongtian once mentioned in the Chu family that he trusted the prefect Sang Hong to come here for them. Sang Hong's appointment obviously represents the will of the imperial court.
My dear, isn't it because the Chu family is disloyal and colludes with local officials to make the court want to deal with it quickly?
I thought I was on a big thick leg, but now it seems that I am on a big ship that is about to capsize. No wonder I said before that I was reluctant to deal with a gangster!
Do you want to find an opportunity to jump ship as soon as possible?
If Chu Chuyan knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably have pinned him to the ground and beaten him severely.
After Pang Chun came in, he smiled and cupped his hands to Sang Qian: "I have met Commander Sang."
Sang Qian did not dare to be careless. After all, the county captain was the third-in-command of Mingyue City. Even he could not be scornful. He hurriedly responded: "I have met the county captain."
After chatting for a while, the two of them looked at Xie Xiu who was standing aside. Xie Xiu was happy: "Look at what I do. I don't have an official position. How to deal with it depends on the rules."
Sang Qian cursed for a while, who didn't know that it was you who called Pang Chun here? He always only followed your father's lead, didn't he just listen to you?
Pang Chun looked at Sang Qian with a smile: "Then leave this matter to me. Commander Sang won't mind, right?"
Sang Qian forced a smile: "This is the duty of the county captain, I dare not exceed it."
The county lieutenant is in charge of the security and theft arrest of a city. In a sense, he is equivalent to the city police chief, prosecutor general, and court president in later generations. They have considerable power.
Pang Chun then put away his smile and looked at the other people in the field: "What happened?"
Chu Chuyan spoke at this time and roughly explained what had just happened.
Pang Chun secretly smacked his tongue, obviously shocked by the astronomical figure of 7.5 million taels, but he reacted quickly and quickly followed her words and said: "Mei Gang Leader, this is what you are doing wrong. Since you started Gambling houses, you should admit when you lose, otherwise all gambling houses in the world will be ()
Wouldn’t it be a mess if you come like this? ”
Mei Chaofeng was secretly angry, but still replied: "The county captain doesn't know something. This man won 7.5 million taels with just two hands. It's really unbelievable. He is definitely a cheat. Such an account How can we recognize it?"
Zu An couldn't help but feel happy: "I said that you, a gambling shop owner, are actually afraid of your customers cheating? Is it because your skills are not good, or are you too shameless?"
"You!" Mei Chaofeng was furious, thinking that if the two of them were alone, he could crush the bug to death with his little finger, but now he had to swallow his anger and reason with him.
Grass!
The anger value from Mei Chaofeng is +499!
This is when Pang Chun also spoke: "That's right, Gang Leader Mei, since you said he was a con man, do you have any evidence?"
Zu An thought it was great to have someone above him who could speak for him in various ways, not to mention that he was always reasonable.
Mei Chaofeng hesitated: "That's not true. I wasn't here at the time, and Zu An came with Miss Chu. As a fifth-grade practitioner, Miss Chu really wants to do something. In our gambling house, People can’t see it either.”
Chu Chuyan's face turned cold: "You said I could help you out?"
Now that things have happened, the two parties have also lost their skin, and Mei Chaofeng has no scruples: "It's impossible to say, he is your husband after all, who knows whether you two are deliberately playing a trick to trick me. ”
Chu Chuyan said coldly: "The reputation of our Chu family cannot tolerate your slander. I will fight you!"
Mei Chaofeng also took the risk: "I was polite to you because of the Chu family, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Zu An looked on with excitement, wishing they would start fighting immediately. He wanted to see what a battle between fifth-grade bosses would be like, so that he could be prepared in the future.
As for whether Chu Chuyan will suffer a loss, he is not worried at all. Not to mention that Xie Xiu and the county lieutenant are here now, Mingyue City is also the fiefdom of the Chu family after all, and Chu Zhongtian will let his daughter be bullied. ?
Coupled with her background at Mingyue College, no matter which party she is from, Mei Chaofeng cannot afford to offend her.
At this time, Xie Xiu came out to dissuade him: "You two, please be patient and let me give you a fair word. Everyone in Mingyue City knows that the Chu family has always strictly prohibited gambling..."
When he said this and saw everyone looking at Zu An, he couldn't help but take a breath: "Zu An is not named Chu after all. Maybe he didn't understand their rules when he first entered the Chu family, but how is Miss Chu's personality? Everyone in Nian Mingyue City should know this. ”
"Yes, how could Miss Chu be so rich?"
"Mei Gang Leader, if you can't pay me, don't throw dirty water on Miss Chu."
"Yes, how could Miss Chu do such a thing!"
……
The people around me echoed, and Zu An was speechless. My cheap wife is quite popular. So many people like her, which makes me feel in crisis.
Xie Xiu continued: "And everyone knows that I don't have any other specialties, just eating and drinking... Ahem, I am proficient in all kinds of gambling. As far as I know, all gambling houses in the world have gambling equipment. There are magic circles engraved by rune masters that can isolate practitioners from the exploration of vitality, so it is completely impossible to say that Miss Chu is a thousand years old because of her cultivation."..
Sang Qian secretly scolded Mei Chaofeng as a waste. He couldn't think of any excuses, but he had to think about Miss Chu. He had to speak out: "Yes, I dare to guarantee it with my life. Miss Chu will never do it." Out of thousands, she..."
Before he finished speaking, Zu An's voice came to his ears: "Madam, do you think that if you admit Chu Qian now, will this guy commit suicide?"
Sang Qian: "..."
Xie Xiu: "..."
Pang Chun: "..."
Mei Chaofeng: "..."
I’m just saying polite words, do you really take it seriously? What kind of top-notch son-in-law did the Chu family recruit?
The anger value from Sang Qian is +213!
At this time, Chu Chuyan also had a black line: "Shut up, stop talking nonsense."
Sang Qian had no choice but to pretend not to hear what he just said and continued, Hey, I just mentioned ()
Where is it? It's all that guy's fault!
"Miss Chu will never cheat, but this grandpa, many people in the city must know his previous temperament and... ability. With his ability, it is impossible to be within two If he wins 7.5 million taels, then there is only one possibility left, that is, he bribed and colluded with the Seven of Clubs in advance, and worked together to defraud the casino of money!"
It’s almost as if he just said that Zu An is a waste.
Mei Chaofeng's eyes lit up, Gao, there were indeed many loopholes in his previous rhetoric, but this rhetoric can be said to have completely denied the legitimacy of the other party's winning of 7.5 million taels. Not only did he blame everything on the Seven of Clubs, Moreover, we can also take the blame and hold Zu An accountable.
As expected of someone from the capital, his methods are indeed sinister!
"Woooo~" The Seven of Plum Blossoms on the side was so frightened that he couldn't help but keep throwing the **** basin at him. Unfortunately, his jaw had already been removed. Although he was anxious at this time, he couldn't say anything at all. Speak up.
Pa~pa~pa~
Suddenly there was a sound of clapping in the casino. Everyone looked around and saw that it was Zu An clapping: "Commander Sang, are you one of the bosses behind the Silver Hook Gambling House?"
Sang Qian's expression suddenly changed: "It's nonsense, slandering an official of the imperial court is a serious crime!"
The anger value from Sang Qian is +200!
"Since you are not the owner of Silver Hook Gambling House, why have you spoken for them everywhere since you came in?" Zu An asked.
Sang Qian snorted: "That's just a reasonable guess based on facts."
Zu An immediately asked: "You also said it was just speculation, so based on the fact that you have been speaking for Mei Chaofeng just now, I have a reasonable speculation that you two colluded in private. Can this be used as evidence?"
"You!" Sang Qian turned aside with a dark face, "I'm too lazy to argue with people like you."
The anger value from Sang Qian is +100!
Obviously, he has slowly calmed down. Regarding his own identity and the identity of the other party, it would be too much to argue with him.
Zu An looked at the fat Pang Chun beside him: "Lord County Lieutenant, you have rich experience in solving cases for many years. You must be quite clear about what the situation is now."
Sang Qian also said: "Man Pangda, don't let the threats of some people affect your decision of the case."
"This..." Pang Chun hesitated a little, and sweat started to fall on his chubby face. He naturally knew what was going on, but the Plum Blossom Gang had been managing various departments in the city for many years, and had a background He has always been mysterious, but now Sang Qian is clearly protecting him. Could it be that the backer behind them is the governor?
