Three-pot porridge and naan

Wandong galloped back to the city on Zou Wu'an's horse at the last moment of the ugly hour on July 27 the next day.

He stayed in the back mountain of Yaojia Village for nearly three hours, and only he knew what he found and saw on the mountain.

In the early morning of July 27th, Wandong handed a greeting card to Yu's young master, and asked Yulou's staff to send it to Yumu.

But he waited for half a day and no one came to respond, so he took time to go to the yamen, and learned that Mo Li hadn't returned all night, needless to say, he was out looking for the second uncle of the Kang family all night last night.

At this time, none of the familiar officers came back, and it seemed that they still hadn't found any good clues.

Wandong ate something indiscriminately and went to Yulou to wait for the servant of Yu's family to report to him.

That boy knew Wandong, because several times he saw his young master and Wandong talking on the main street in front of the market, the kind of "familiarity" that they only spoke once a year... But it should be acquaintance For a long time.

If Wandong has any childhood sweetheart brothers, then there must be, but that person is like a blooming flower in the epiphyllum, and was destroyed before it bloomed...

Among the other bamboo horses, Zhou Lang at Zhou Lang Ferry is one, and boy Yumu can also be counted as one, even if the two of them speak once a year as this young man thinks.

But these two are quite "irreversible", and sometimes they can guess what the other is thinking just by staring at each other.

Speaking of which, the two of them really have a relationship. The Yu family knew that the boy of the Mei family was not in good health, so they didn't know if it was to stimulate Mei Wandong's parents. A martial arts master was invited, and Yu Mu's master happened to have some problems with the Mei family.

Yumu's master is Tantai Yidao, who is somewhat famous in the world. His kung fu is at the top level, but he has a sword named "Taiyi".

According to rumors, Tantai Yidao should have owed a huge gambling debt more than ten years ago, and the Yu family helped to pay it off before he was willing to stay in the Yu family to teach Yu Mu and practice martial arts.

Yu Mu heard from the young man that it was already dark when Wandong handed him the greeting card, Wandong looking for him?Also wrote greetings?

Farewell, even if you beat him to death, you won't believe it.

But when the servant handed him the greeting card, Yu Mu said in his heart: "Beat me, it's not good for him to find me..."

Boy: "Master...do you want someone to blow him away?"

Yu Mu squinted at the past: "When did I ask you to think for me?"

"..."

When Wandong was sitting in the jade building, he heard someone in the building say that the price of flour would increase. He thought to himself that the price of flour per catty had risen so much in the past two years, and it would be strange if it could go up again. He hadn't heard anything. Rumors of major disasters and damaged harvests are man-made.

What are the merchants in Shangjing going to do? If not, he will go to Yingbei County to collect some flour and corn.

The porridge shop still had a lot of flour and rice, and it would not be a problem to go to Yingbei to save food for half a year after the Santaoyuan case was settled.

Wandong was thinking about it when he heard the voice of the shopkeeper and the guys greeting from the Jade Tower: "Hi, young master."

He looked over immediately, and saw the young man in fresh clothes coming in from outside the building, with flying eyebrows, heroic spirit, and a sassy and clean demeanor.

"Go and lead Dr. Mei up to the third floor, I'll be there soon." Yu Mu said to his servant.

Wandong didn't wait long in the wing room on the third floor when Yumu came in.

When there were only two of them in the whole room, the atmosphere was extraordinarily weird. After all, the two of them had never stayed in the same room since they were so old, and they still faced each other like this.

For some reason, Yu Mu's handsome face turned red.

Naturally, Wandong noticed it, and frowned, wondering what this man was blushing for no reason?

"Wan, Wandong, what did you come to see me for..." Yu Mu rubbed his hands nervously.

Wandong stared at him suspiciously for a while, and replied, "Let me ask you what happened to the iron ore factory in the back mountain of Yaojia Village?"

As soon as he said this, Yu Mu frowned: "I don't know about this, my aunt is in charge."

Yu Mu's aunt, the housekeeper of the Yu family, named Mingzhu, is not actually his own aunt.

Mingzhu and Yumu's mother are sisters of Jinlan, so Yumu calls him aunt.

Wandong thought that it was Yu Mu, the little aunt who sent Tie Chu to Kang's Santaoyuan that day. Thinking about it this way, Yu Mu said he didn't care about this matter, maybe he didn't care, but only Yu Mu knew whether he knew it or not.

Both Mingzhu and Mrs. Yu are capable women who are well-known and praised by people within ten miles. Wandong admires such women in his heart. Because of their hard work, Yu's family is thriving.They often remind Wandong of his mother, and his mother worked as hard as they did when she was still around.

"Your aunt knows about this?" Wandong asked suddenly.

"This……"

Seeing Yumu choking suddenly, Wandong felt that the matter was not simple.

Wandong narrowed his eyes: "Don't tell me that your aunt doesn't know about it at all." It seems that someone in this Yulou used the name of Mingzhu's steward to do business with the Kang family. Yumu should know about it, but he chose to keep his eyes open. keep one eye closed...

Yu Mu was tightly controlled by his parents since he was a child, and now he is a bit uninhibited. He has a somewhat rebellious mind towards the Yu family, probably because he wants to bribe some people to work with him, so he wants everyone in Yulou to think that he is It's easy to talk, so I never listen to him again.

Wandong just gave a rough idea through hearsay, and didn't know much about the specifics.

Wandong's expression became slightly condensed, and even his voice became much deeper: "I'll tell you directly, your iron factory in the back mountain of Yaojia Village was bought by the villagers, and it's not iron mines. , What you sold to Kang Boning is not an iron rod. Although you and I have never been friends, we have known each other for many years. I advise you to take those who did business with Kang Boning and surrender to the government, otherwise this matter will become big. Your Yu Family may not be able to shoulder this responsibility."

Yu Mu felt his head was buzzing right now, and before he could react, Wandong had already stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "If you don't believe me, go to the back mountain of Yaojia Village to investigate by yourself, and the government will Someone over there has already known that if you take the person who used the name of Mingzhu to do business with the Kang family to surrender, at most you will pay more money, and if you are late, you will bear the consequences."

Wandong left quickly after speaking.

He knew in his heart that when the Santaoyuan case came to light in a few days, the "iron factory" of Yu's family on the mountain behind Yaojia Village would also be made public, so he came here to remind Yu Mu.

Moreover, the matter of the Houshan Iron Works must be made public before the Tiechu case can be solved.

If Yu Mu is indifferent today, Mo Li will directly take people to seal and inspect the iron factory when he comes back.

In the early morning of the next day, the matter of Yu Shaodong's family tying Yulou's steward and three other very senior long-term workers from Yulou to the government office exploded in the Dongcheng market.

At this time, Mei Wandong had just left the stall, and the people from Yu's family passed by his shop. Yu Mu rode in front on a horse, and the guards of Yu's family escorted the four people who were tied up behind.

Compared with the flying spirit of the past, today's Yumu looks much deeper.

Everyone didn't know why, so there were constant discussions in the market, and they were all guessing what Master Yu's family was going to do.

What happened to those four people, so those who have trouble along the way followed the Yu family's team to the government office.

The official of the Dongcheng government office in Shangjing is Xing Qingtian, who is more famous in Dongcheng.

Xing Qingtian patted the table and said: "Who is in the hall, and what is the so-called matter."

"Lord Xing, Caomin is Yu Mu from Yu's family in Dongcheng. These four people were originally working in my Yu's family. I fired them early this morning. These four people committed a crime, and I ask you to preside over it."

"Then what crime did the four of them commit?" Xing Qingtian asked.

Yu Mu took a step forward: "The four of them lied to each other and conspired to occupy the back mountain of Yaojia Village in the name of my aunt Mingzhu, and drove away a total of five villagers on the mountain, and even..."

Speaking of this, Yu Mu's figure trembled, and even the color of his eyes changed slightly.

Xing Qingtian frowned: "Even what?"

"Even using the iron factory to hide people's eyes and ears, but in fact it is jade to make a living..."

Xing Qingtian rubbed his chin, if it is no big deal to make a living with jade, what does it mean to use iron factories to cover people's eyes and ears?Could it be...

"Yu Mu, please speak clearly." Xing Qingtian patted the table and said again.

"Boss Kang in Santaoyuan has some business cooperation with my aunt, and my aunt entrusted the business to these four people. It was about two or three months ago that Boss Kang suddenly learned that there was a high-quality jade on the mountain in Yaojia Village, so he told Among the four of them, Ren Guanshi proposed to produce jade in the name of building an iron factory, and make cheap iron pestles with jade inside, so that they could be transported to the south for sale, so as to avoid the high jade tax. ..."

Compared with the tax on jade, the tax on selling iron is nothing worth mentioning. Boss Kang and Manager Ren did this to cover up the jade with an iron pestle to avoid the jade tax.

Xing Qingtian understood, and clapped the case and said: "Bold and unreasonable, Da Yi's legal tax evasion of more than one thousand strings will be beheaded!"

The four people were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Qingtian is very careful! Although I have a wicked heart, I have no courage. I regretted it after starting the iron factory! The iron pestle of Tibetan jade has not been shipped out yet, and the samples are not ready. Boss Kang died after being sent to Santaoyuan! We didn’t ship out the goods, but we didn’t escape the tax of a copper coin!”

Xing Qingtian raised his eyebrows: "So you admitted that you used the name of that pearl to occupy the back mountain of Yaojia Village together with Kang Boning, not to mention driving people down the mountain, and planning to use iron pestles to hide jade to avoid taxes?!"

"This……"

"My lord is wronged, my lord!"

"Someone will take them to jail!" After Xing Qingtian made the case, several policemen rushed over and took the four people away.

"As for your Yu family, the four of them are members of your Yu family. What happened is because of your ineffective supervision. Punishment is indispensable. First, you will be fined to return the houses and lands of the people of Yao family village. .” Xing Qingtian touched his chin and said.

"Come on, first go and surround the mountain behind Yaojia Village, no one is allowed to enter or leave, Yu Mu, you go with the officers and soldiers."

Yu Mu bowed his hands to express his obedience.

Yu Mu led a team of guards and followed the officers and soldiers out of the city. At this time, the news about Yu's family was also spread in the market.

"So Boss Kang was murdered because of a twisted mind?"

"But isn't the chief culprit who occupied Tian Yu's house? Why wasn't he killed?"
