In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"They come here every few days?" Su Zhizhi couldn't help but frown, but soon, her brows relaxed again. "Yes, of course they come here every few days. Their purpose is to take Hu Laosan back. But now Hu Laosan is in our hands. If we don't let him go, they will definitely not leave."

"But the trouble lies here. They want people, but I can't really release Hu Laosan. Hu Laosan is also involved in the matter of the grain store. If Hu Laosan is released, then this matter cannot be investigated further." Xie Chengjin was very worried about this. It's not that he hadn't thought about deterring these ruffians, but these people didn't have any handle in Xie Chengjin's hands. Secondly, to deal with so many people would cost manpower and material resources. In these troubled times, Xie Chengjin didn't want to make such a big fuss.

"In that case, why don't we fight violence with violence?" Su Zhizhi put down the information in her hand, stretched out her finger, and pointed at a certain part of the information.

"Fight violence with violence?" Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with some doubt, but when his eyes noticed Su Zhizhi's hand, Xie Chengjin's eyes flickered, and his gaze followed Su Zhizhi's hand to the information.

Xie Chengjin reached out and took the information, and saw the place pointed out by Su Zhizhi. It recorded what happened in Hu Laosan's family.

Xie Chengjin carefully examined it and instantly became excited. He hugged Zhizhi beside him and said, "Zhizhi, this matter is really thanks to you. Why didn't I think of it? If you hadn't come to me today, I don't know how long I would have been troubled by this matter."

Su Zhizhi just smiled and said, "You have so many things to deal with, so naturally you won't be able to look at things so carefully. Let me tell you, when dealing with these local tyrants, you can't just go head-to-head with them. They're all fearless. Instead of fighting and getting hurt, it's better to dismantle them from within. These gangs may appear to trust each other on the surface, but who can tell how chaotic they are inside?"

Su Zhizhi is much more experienced than Xie Chengjin in dealing with this kind of thing. Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi's cheerful and cheerful face, and he admired her even more in his heart.

Xie Chengjin went out first to send the Hu family away, and then sent people to the Hu family for further investigation. The development of the matter did not disappoint Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi.

Just as Su Zhizhi said, the Hu family's internal situation has become a mess, especially the Hu family's property, which has fallen into the hands of a child who is almost unknown to everyone.

That child is Hu Laosan's half-brother and the illegitimate son of the head of the Hu family. Hu Laosan is the only legitimate son of the head of the Hu family and his wife, and Hu Laosan is unaware of the existence of the illegitimate child. Therefore, Hu Laosan has developed his current character.

Xie Chengjin looked at the information he had obtained, a scornful smile appeared on his face, and then he personally brought the thing to Hu Laosan.

"Hu Laosan, what do you think? Have you thought it through?" Xie Chengjin sat in front of Hu Laosan and said with a smile.

Hu Laosan spat at Xie Chengjin and said bitterly, "You bastard official! Don't even think about getting a single bit of information from me! I won't let you succeed!"

Xie Chengjin didn't get angry either. He just handed the thing in his hand to Hu Laosan for inspection. "Don't worry, I think you should be able to recognize some words. Why don't you take a look at this in my hand?"

Hu Laosan took it suspiciously. Although he didn't trust Xie Chengjin, he still opened the envelope and read it. Hu Laosan's face became more and more ugly. "What do you mean?!"

After watching the end, Hu Laosan looked at Xie Chengjin fiercely as if he didn't believe him. He almost threw the envelope in his hand at Xie Chengjin's face.

Xie Chengjin wasn't angry at all. He just changed his sitting position and looked at Hu Laosan calmly. "It seems that you should understand what it says. In that case, I will tell you clearly that these things are true."

"What did you say?!" Hu Laosan was instantly furious. "Are you saying that damn old man somehow managed to father a bastard? After I was thrown into jail, he left all his wealth to that bastard?!"

Hu Laosan has always been the man of his word at home. It was hard for him to believe what he had just experienced. However, for Hu Laosan, it was better to believe it than not to believe it. Now Hu Laosan was completely anxious.

"Sir! Sir! Please let me out. I want to go back and kill that little bastard!" Hu Laosan started to talk nonsense.

Xie Chengjin couldn't help but frown after hearing what Hu Laosan said. "According to the law, killing someone means paying with one's life! Hu Laosan, you better think this through."

Hu Laosan then realized that he had spoken the truth. He was afraid that he really could not get out of the prison, so he slapped himself a few times and said, "Sir, look at my mouth, I really deserve a beating. Isn't it just a matter of the grain store? Sir, whatever you want to know, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know." Hu Laosan said with a flattering smile.

Xie Chengjin was quite satisfied with Hu Laosan's appearance. He smiled and nodded, and asked some questions about the grain store. This time, Hu Laosan gave the answer very readily.

When Xie Chengjin got what he wanted and was about to leave, Hu Laosan stopped him, "My lord! My lord! Look, I've said everything now. I admit everything I did. I will pay every penny of the fine. My lord, when can I get out?"

Seeing that Hu Laosan was already extremely anxious, Xie Chengjin had some evil thoughts. In fact, he could let Hu Laosan go now, but he didn't want to let Hu Laosan get his wish just like that, so he simply said, "You may need a few more days. When the time comes, I will naturally send someone to take you out. However, Hu Laosan, I still have to remind you that killing someone means paying with your life. As for what you decide to do, it's up to you."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin turned around and left the prison, leaving only Hu Laosan standing there with a grudge.

After a few days, Hu Laosan was finally released from the prison as he wished. At the same time, in the past few days, Xie Chengjin arrested some people suspected of reselling grain and grass based on Hu Laosan's confession, and this grain and grass store was naturally required to rectify.
