Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Lang Si paced thoughtfully under the tree in the yard, Tu Yizhou's last words "compensation, time is running out" kept imprinted in his mind.

The gangsters were still far away in Anci County. It might take a year or two, let alone two or three months, to catch them. It would also consume a lot of police manpower. For this reason alone, Meng Kui would never let them do this.

Even if we use external forces, it will take time, but An Yue's life will not last until that time.

He turned around, stared at the direction of Meng Kui's office, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked over.

Meng Kui was sitting at the table, concentrating on reading the files. When he saw someone coming in, he naturally lowered his head and continued reading, asking.

"What's the matter?"

Lang Si clenched his fists, his mind consumed by the conflict and struggle within him. After a moment, he tried to speak, "I would like to ask a favor, Commander-in-Chief."

Meng Kui paused flipping through the files when he heard this, and looked up at him in shock. "What?"

"I..." Lang Si had always been dissatisfied with Meng Kui, and now he was asked to bow to this man, and he felt very unwilling. "I would like to ask a favor, Commander-in-Chief."

Meng Kui's eyes moved slightly, and he stood still for several seconds to process these words, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Lang? You... I'm a little scared."

Lang Si suppressed his emotions and said, "Because of my junior sister's case, the robbers cannot be arrested for the time being. I heard that the commander has a good relationship with Mr. Hu, so I would like to ask him to help me put in a favor."

Meng Kui suddenly understood, raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, but then he became embarrassed again.

"Mr. Hu and I used to have some business dealings, but we haven't been in touch for a long time. Furthermore, this case involves a large sum of money. Even if I wanted to help you, Mr. Hu wouldn't drop the lawsuit just because of a few words from me, would he?"

"I will pay you back," Lang Si said. "I just want to ask for your help and see if I can pay you back less."

"Payment?" Meng Kui lowered his eyes in thought. "This is the only way under the current circumstances, but the problem is 20,000 taels. Mr. Hu is a businessman, and it's really difficult to get him to lower the amount. Even 3,000 or 5,000 taels is something an ordinary person can't earn in a lifetime. I'm afraid he's..."

"Please, sir, do me this favor." Lang Si was a little anxious, having forgotten his previous disgust. He pleaded, "I will never forget your kindness. I will negotiate as much as I can. I will figure out the rest myself."

"The salary of us Jinyiwei is not high. What can you do with so much money?" Meng Kui looked at him for a moment, stood up and thought for a while, and then he sighed with melancholy.

"This is a difficult matter, but you are a member of my family. This matter has already happened. Since you have asked, how can I not help you? However, you also know that it is not easy to get them to lower the actual silver, do you understand?"

Lang Si nodded silently, "Your Excellency, please tell me what you want me to do. I will do my best to do it as long as I can."

Meng Kui looked back at him from behind, "It's not a difficult matter. For Lang Qianshi, it's just a piece of cake."

Lang Si was puzzled and turned to look over, "What do you mean, sir?"

Meng Kui smiled calmly, "You also know about the Lu Linfeng incident. He was a silk and tea merchant who wanted to get close to me for business. He had sent me some tea and silk in the past, and he thought he had some connection with me. I didn't expect him to be a human trafficker. People like him are very unpredictable and will easily frame others when they are desperate. I have to eat the government food and support my family. If he framed me, wouldn't it be unfair?"

Lang Si finally understood what was going on, his mind raced, and he stared at him with his eyes slightly narrowed for a moment, considering the situation.

Meng Kui was slightly stunned by the stare. He walked over to the table and said, "But it's okay if you don't agree. I'm sure it won't be easy to talk Mr. Hu down."

Lang Si felt the pain of a knife twisting his body several times, and he felt suffocated as if thousands of pumps of water were erupting upwards, and he could hardly hold it back.

He clenched his fists and actively suppressed it, and finally suppressed it, responding with a hint of ruthlessness.

"make a deal."

Tu Yizhou was waiting anxiously in the office. He was about to go outside to find out something, but before he even stepped over the threshold, Lang Si walked in with a murderous look on his face, and slammed his fists on the table twice.

He was shocked and asked, confused, "What's wrong? He doesn't agree?"

Before Lang Si could control his anger and responded, Tu Yizhou also slammed the table in anger.

"This bastard is just trying to take advantage of your misfortune. He finally found your weakness this time and is just standing there watching the show."

The two of them stayed in the room for a while, and Lang Si finally spoke, "It's not that he didn't agree, but he made a deal with me."

"Make a deal with you?" Tu Yizhou was confused for a moment, "What is it?"

"Lu Linfeng's account book." Lang Si said.

"What? Why would he suddenly want this?" Tu Yizhou took a few seconds to react, his face suddenly filled with astonishment. "Could it be... this... is too unbelievable. All these twists and turns are actually aimed at you?"

"I felt something was amiss, but I never expected this to happen." Lang Si's icy eyes fixed on the void, and he said in a cold voice, "I admit defeat this time. He tricked me. An Yue is suffering because of me."

"Then..." Tu Yizhou sighed angrily, "In that case, let's pay the money back first. We'll have plenty of time to settle this vengeance later."

Lang Si said, "Hmm," and said, "The two women Su Chengyi brought here are the ones who plotted to murder Lu Ziqing. You go and interrogate them, and I'll go raise the money first."

"Wait a minute." Tu Yizhou stopped him. "Twenty thousand taels is a lot. Where are you going to raise the money? I do have a little bit, but it's not much. I'll use it first. Also, this money can't be given away for nothing. We still have to wait for Meng Kui to negotiate a price. If you can pay back less, pay it back. If you borrow too much, you'll never be able to pay it back until you die."

"I know." Lang Si said, "The little money you have is just a drop in the bucket. Keep it for yourself. I'll find another way. I'm leaving now."

He hurried out of the house and was about to mount his horse when he saw Xiao Yan riding across the street, with several men tied to the guards' horses behind him.

The guards dismounted and dragged the man down. Lang Si walked over and asked, "Where did you catch this?"

"The demon's accomplice." Xiao Yan dismounted and said, "They were found in the Qinghua Pavilion on North Street. Have those two women been interrogated?"

"Not yet. Leave it to Tu Yizhou to judge." Lang Si said, "I'm going to raise money now."

Xiao Yan was a little skeptical, "What are you raising money for?"

Lang Si said, "An Yue's case is now irreconcilable and has been ruled a truncated case. Meng Kui wants to close the case. I was tricked by him and can only pay compensation."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yan asked.

"It's about Lu Linfeng's human trafficking in the past." Lang Si glanced at the passers-by on the street in the distance.

"I found the account book at his residence showing Meng Kui colluding with him, and he knew about it, so he set a trap for me. He bribed some guild masters to rob Anyue's escort and replaced the banknotes with fake ones. He was sure I wouldn't be able to find evidence quickly, and I would have to pay him back, or my life. He knew that man, and since he couldn't pay, he asked me to take Lu Linfeng's account book to negotiate the price."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, "How much does it cost?"
