The Wu Family Courtyard in Changhua is 9 to 36. Although the storefront of the Wu Family Courtyard is not as large as the county government office, the area inside is less than ten county government offices. In the water pavilion in the back garden of the Wu Family Courtyard, Wu Yuanwai, the richest man in Changhua, is entertaining guests, calling the best banquet at the most famous Dachang Restaurant in Changhua. The wine is Dake wine bought from a high price. At this time, the weather is hot, and it is the best season to drink wine. The Wu Family Courtyard has its own ice cellar. When the wine is frozen, it tastes like nectar and jade liquid.

The pavilion is surrounded by water. If you want to climb the pavilion, you can only pass a boat. It would be even better if you want to talk secretly in the pavilion. At this time, there were no servants at the pavilion. Mr. Wu was pouring a glass of wine for the distinguished guest himself, "Manager Zhao, I really bother you this time."

"What a small matter, what's the point."

"Manager Zhao is worthy of being a disciple of the prime minister. That's a complete plan. A small gift is not respectful." Mr. Wu pushed a brocade box that had been prepared long ago to Manager Zhao.

Although there are more than a dozen managers in the Wu family compound, they are the managers of the Prime Minister's Office, which is a world of difference from the managers of the Wu family compound. In front of him, Mr. Wu seemed to have lost his identity. It seems that Mr. Zhao is the manager and he is the servant.

Zhao Yang opened the brocade box and a bright flashed inside. Two ingots of white silver were 100 taels. In the past, the Song Dynasty had long been not allowed to sell silver. Whether it was the government or the people, all the silver had to be concentrated, and 300,000 taels of silver were paid to the Jin Kingdom every year. Year after year, there was no silver in the Song Dynasty. Now, if the hundred taels of silver that Wu Yuanwai took out were exchanged for money, even 200 taels of money would not be exchanged. It would be really worthless.

Zhao Yang was originally the shopkeeper of the Dayi Warehouse of Zhao's Mansion, but because of a fire in the Dayi Warehouse, the warehouse was originally a profitable business, but in Zhao Yang's hands, the Dayi Warehouse could only protect the capital. After Zhao Ruyu's coup was successful and he became the prime minister, the servants of the Zhao Mansion also followed the crowd and dogs to heaven, including Zhao Yang.

It is said that Zhao Yang is still in charge of the prime minister, and that is even more powerful than the seventh rank official. Especially when he goes out to Lin'an, it is more like a court official, someone picks up and someone sends him off. Last time he came to Changhua, the magistrate Luo Zhongzheng of Changhua treated him as his boss, which greatly satisfied his vanity. This time, Wu Yuanwai from Changhua found out the news from somewhere, and actually sent someone to Lin'an to find him. If Wu Yuanwai is also a rich man, but when he comes to him, he hum, he looks like his servant. This feeling is really happy. Zhao Yang has been a servant for his whole life, and now he has finally seen the sun and is a superior person.

"What's the point of being completely unscrupulous? If it weren't for Han Zhongwei's dislike, I would be lazy to care about such nonsense." Zhao Yang took a sip of wine and said disdainfully.

Mr. Wu came to An to ask Zhao Yang for his identity. Last time when Zhao Yang came to Changhua, Luo Zhongzheng introduced Zhao Yang to him, the richest man in Changhua. Mr. Wu was careful at that time and gave him a big gift when Zhao Yang left, which was considered to be their line. This time, because of the Wujiang case, Mr. Wu came to Zhao Yang directly. He heard that Zhao Yang was not angry with Han Zhongwei last time. As expected, this time, he heard that this matter could make Han Zhongwei feel uncomfortable, so he came immediately.

"That's right, County Magistrate Han is young and ignorant, and has not had any breasts. How can he compare with Manager Zhao?" Wu Yuanwai said with a chuckle.

"They call it "Snake Extraordinary Foot", but the tiger is not a rebellious dog. Originally, Wu Jiang's case could be solved, but now, haha, as long as Liu is not caught for a day, the case will not be settled. I think how he, the county magistrate, has the nerve to go on." Zhao Yang smiled proudly.

"How can a mere county magistrate be able to see the eyes of Zhao Manager? Zhao Manager, next..." Mr. Wu poured Zhao Yang a glass of wine.

"Mr. Wu, what does Wu Jiang's death have to do with you? It's not really your command, right?" Zhao Yang narrowed his eyes and asked at Mr. Wu.

"How can I do it? How can I have something to do with Wujiang? Of course, he is from Wujiazhuang, but his death really has nothing to do with me. I can guarantee my life." Wu Yuanwai's eyelids twitched and he said quickly.

Regarding Wu Yuanwai's denial, Zhao Yang just shook his head. If Wu Jiang's death had nothing to do with him, why would he spend such a large price to invite him? The Prime Minister's Office is not so casual. Not only do he have to be willing, but his uncle Zhao Quan also has to nod. Otherwise, even if Wu Yuanwai gives him more money, Zhao Yang would not dare to come to Changhua.

"Mr. Wu, if you don't tell me the truth about this matter, then I won't know what to do in the future." Zhao Yang said sarcastically. He doesn't want others to be himself or not to be a fool. It doesn't matter if he is used by others. It's mutual benefit. As long as you give yourself enough benefits, you must be clear about the whole story of the matter, otherwise, hehe...

"Manager Zhao, this matter really has nothing to do with me, but the dog... the dog is attracted to the Liu family..." Wu Yuanwai stammered. His youngest son liked to play tricks outside. He has never known how many times he had been beaten by him since he was a child, but he never changed his lesson. The more he beats, the more he becomes more and more fickle, and in the end he simply ignores him. Anyway, this is not a matter of murder and arson. As long as he spends more money, he can settle it. Unexpectedly, he will die this time.

"So that's it. Liu looks like a flower and jade. Everyone likes it in their hearts. This is also human nature, human nature, haha. But the matter is too much for free." Zhao Yang laughed and said, "Mr. Wu's romantic son had caused a life, so he was just pretending to be a fool to wipe his butt."

"Make Manager Zhao laugh at you." Mr. Wu told the truth about the matter, and then he felt something was wrong. Now he could put the handle in Zhao Yang's hands. If Zhao Yang is unhappy in the future, he would turn it out again. Then he could pinch himself as much as he wants. Thinking of this, the sweat on Mr. Wu's forehead was like the old well behind his house, constantly squirting out.

"If a man is not romantic and indifferent, he is a teenager. It is said that a wife is worse than a concubine. It is better to steal than a concubine. It is better to steal than a concubine. Is it better to steal than a steal. Is Wu Yanei dead because he can't steal or eat?" Zhao Yang was very satisfied with Wu Yuanwai's expression. After doing such a murder without blinking, he actually had to hide it from himself. Fortunately, he asked for it first, otherwise he would lose a lot in the future. Shifting responsibility in the Wu family and acting on Han Zhongwei's will is different.

Just now, Zhao Yang felt that Mr. Wu was generous in his actions, and 100 taels of silver was a lot. He just went to see County Magistrate Luo and asked him to say hello to the county jail, so that Mr. Wu could go to the prison to visit the prison smoothly, and also exchanged the prince with a raccoon, and replaced Liu. After all, he just wanted to make things unhappy for Han Zhongwei. This kid came to Zhao's mansion a few months ago to blackmail him 5,000 guan. Not only did he not be able to give up his anger, but even his uncle was still angry.

One hundred taels of silver were sent to Changhua from Lin'an, and he offered food and drinks along the way, which made Zhao Yang not feel that he was suffering. Sometimes he would rather do something that could make Han Zhongwei eat turtles, and he would rather do it, and he would do it comfortably.

But now it is a little different. Since the real murderer is in the Wu family, and it is because of himself that they have saved them from disasters, otherwise the blacksmith and Liu family will cause trouble as soon as they let go. With Han Zhongwei's newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, it is not impossible for the Wu family to be plucked up. Since this is the case, then this hundred taels of silver will be a bit too stingy.

Zhao Yang's sudden displeasure made Wu Yuanwai sweat even more. He knew that Zhao Yang was greedy for money, but he didn't expect that he was so greedy for money. He changed his face if he said he changed his face. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster to invite him this time...

Mr. Wu found an excuse to leave the pavilion and soon brought another brocade box. Zhao Yang felt satisfied before he saw the heavy look in his hand. This time, this old man was much more sensible. When Mr. Wu opened the brocade box again, Zhao Yang found that there was a golden light in front of him, one hundred taels of silver. Mr. Wu was so generous!

"Mr. Wu, don't worry about this matter, wrap it on me." Zhao Yang's face was filled with joy. Gold is more precious than silver. The value of one hundred taels of gold is definitely more than one thousand guan. How could he not be so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth?

"Manager Zhao, then next..." Wu Yuanwai felt ache in his heart, but he felt relieved. He believed that as long as Zhao Yang collected his money, he would be on the same boat as him. Although this time it was a bit expensive because of his son's affairs, it was not worth it. In the future, Manager Zhao would have many opportunities to use in the business world.

"There is easy to deal with. Isn't Manager Ni in your house already gone to Xixia? Let him come back at least three years later. No matter how patient Han Zhongwei is, it will be impossible for him to stay in Changhua. As for Liu, it depends on what Mr. Ling wants to do, whether to go far away or let her evaporate, and at will." Zhao Yang smiled. It was worth it to come to Changhua. He received such a large amount of money and could also make Han Zhongwei's first major case after taking office become a headless case. Then, it depends on how he deals with the superiors.

"But the child neither wants to stay away from his hometown nor bear to leave Liu's family. He also has to ask Manager Zhao to come up with a clever plan." Wu Yuanwai sighed. Now is the time when his son is in a siege with Liu. It would be even more sad to let him abandon Liu's family than killing him. If it weren't for this, Wu Jiang would not have been killed. It was precisely because he discovered Liu's love that led to his death.

"What's the difficulty? Isn't it enough to hide them in a hidden place? Isn't it enough to find such a place as Wu Yuanwai?" Zhao Yang picked up the cup and took another sip.

"Manager Zhao, I'm going to tell you that no matter how much property I have, I dare not let them live. Ni Ping suddenly went to Xixia, and this matter must have attracted suspicion from the yamen. I'm afraid that someone is watching outside the Wu family compound now." Mr. Wu smiled bitterly.

"Well..." Zhao Yang pondered.

"Manager Zhao, as long as the child is safe, he will thank him again in the future." Wu Yuanwai saw Zhao Yang silent and thought he wanted money.

This time, Zhao Yang really didn't want to ask for Wu Yuanwai's money again, but Wu Yuanwai was so good-looking. Zhao Yang certainly deserved it. He suddenly felt happy and suddenly had an idea. "I'm going back to Lin'an tomorrow. If you ask them to follow me back, they can find someone in Changhua. When they arrive in Lin'an, if they want to find Liu, it's no different to looking for a needle in a haystack."

"That's great. With Manager Zhao coming forward, no one would have thought that the child and Liu would be with you, and no one would dare to check your car." Mr. Wu was overjoyed. As long as Zhao Yang agreed to send someone out of Changhua, the matter should be truly concluded.

"That's right, even Luo Zhongzheng has to be respectful to me, so Han Zhongwei doesn't have to take it seriously." Zhao Yang said with a smile.

"Fan Shan, has there been any movement in Luo Magistrate Luo's county recently?" Since Han Zhongwei learned that Luo Zhong was Zhao Ruyu's man, he has raised his danger level by several levels. His twenty guards have at least six people in shifts every day to stare at the county yard. If Luo Zhong is about to leave the yamen, it will increase his manpower.

"There seems to be no movement except someone asked to see him yesterday. By the way, Shi Shaolong from the county jail was summoned by him once." Fan Shan no longer had to go to training today, because everyone in the archer team was assigned to the three city gates of Changhua County to strictly investigate the personnel to prevent Liu from escaping from Changhua. Now Ni Ping has left the city, but Han Zhongwei believes that Liu should still be in the county. Therefore, Fan Shan returned to his job and was responsible for Han Zhongwei's guards.

"Did County Magistrate Luo summon Shi Shaolong?" Han Zhongwei said in surprise. The magistrate usually does not directly interfere in the county jail. Besides, there are no major cases in the county recently except the Wujiang case. However, because Liang Deping wanted to find out the real murderer in the Wujiang case, they have not yet been allowed to pass the court. Now Luo Zhong is summoning Shi Shaolong, which is strange.

"Yes, our people saw Shi Shaolong come out of the county government with their own eyes. Yesterday, Luo Zhongzheng did not come to court for one day and did not interrogate any prisoners at all." Fan Shan is becoming more and more like an intelligence officer, knowing how to use the resources in his hands to analyze and research. This is the basic quality of an excellent intelligence officer.

"Who was the one who paid homage to County Magistrate Luo?" Han Zhongwei asked.

"Zhao Yang, the manager of Prime Minister Zhao's mansion in Lin'an." Fan Shan said, he did not find out Zhao Yang's identity in time last time, but later he found Zhao Yang's name. This time he appeared in Changhua again, and Fan Shan's people recognized him at a glance.

"Zhao Yang? What's the matter with him coming to Changhua?" Han Zhongwei frowned. Changhua was calm recently, what did he do?

"This has not been found out yet, but we know that Zhao Yang is now living in the Wu family compound." Fan Shan said.

"Wu family courtyard? But what about Wu Yuanwai's mansion, the richest man in Changhua?" Han Zhongwei asked.

"Yes, when Zhao Yang came to Changhua last time, Magistrate Luo asked Wu Yuanwai to accompany him, and Zhao Yang also stayed in the Wu family compound. Maybe it's the same today. After all, it is the best manor in Changhua." Fan Shan said casually.

"No, as soon as Zhao Yang came to Changhua, Ni Ping easily went to the county jail and met the blacksmith and Liu who didn't even want to meet. What kind of skills did he have? It seems that this matter is related to Zhao Yang." The more Han Zhongwei thought about it, the more reasonable it became. But he couldn't figure it out. Zhao Yang was a disciple of the prime minister, so why would he listen to Wu Yuanwai's orders? To know that such a thing is not good. Not only him, I'm afraid Zhao Ruyu will be implicated.

"Would you check it out if you're not a little bit?" Fan Shan asked. He knew that the young master had listed the Wujiang case as the most important thing at present, otherwise he would not have suspended the training of the archers.

"No need, the fox will show its tail. If you go and call Shi Shaolong, I want to hear what County Magistrate Luo told him." Han Zhongwei didn't want to alarm the snake. Besides, Liang Deping was investigating the matter of Mr. Wu, and I believe he would not disappoint him.

Shi Shaolong immediately ran to the county magistrate's mansion after hearing the call from the county magistrate. Since this kid knew that something went wrong with the county magistrate yesterday, he has been frightened and can't even sleep at night. It's not because Luo Magistrate asked him to suspend his post and make meritorious service, but his conversation with the county magistrate yesterday afternoon. He didn't expect such a big trouble at that time. Now he thinks that he is using his life as a joke.

"My County...Master, what's the matter with you looking for a young man?" Shi Shaolong said with a pale face and stammeringly.

"I'll ask you, what did County Magistrate Luo look for you yesterday?" Han Zhongwei guessed 80% in his heart when he saw Shi Shaolong's guilty look.

"Magistrate Luo?! Nothing... nothing happened." What Shi Shaolong is most afraid of hearing the three words "Magistrate Luo". He is afraid of having any relationship with Magistrate Luo. You must know that if something happens to an accident, Magistrate Luo will stabilize his magistrate chair. He may have to take off his official uniform and go to the prison.

"Bold Shi Shaolong, you don't cry until you see the coffin, right? If County Magistrate Luo had not told you to let Ni Ping go to Wu Yuanwai's Mansion yesterday, would you be so brave to let Ni Ping go to see the blacksmith and the Liu family?" Han Zhongwei slapped the table and asked sternly.

"Sir, sir, it's so unfair!" Shi Shaolong was originally sitting on half of his butt, but now he was frightened by Han Zhongwei. He immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Han Zhongwei.

"You are not wronged and it depends on whether you have told the truth!" Han Zhongwei snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, I dare not hide the truth from the small truth." Shi Shaolong said.

It turned out that Luo Zhongzheng called Shi Shaolong away yesterday afternoon because Ni Ping wanted to visit the prison. Although Liang Deping had given instructions before, the blacksmith and Liu were not at the same level as the captain. After he spoke, Shi Shaolong dared not to listen. Moreover, Ni Ping was generous in his actions. Except for Shi Shaolong, all the prisons were handled by him, so he allowed him to go in and out. Even Shi Shaolong had never thought about telling Liang Deping about this matter. If Liang Deping had not been careful, he would probably not know when he would have discovered it. In the past, there were no people who died in the prison. The prison guards would not care about the life and death of the prisoners. Even if they died ten or eight days before they were discovered, it would be normal.

"You go back first, remember, no one can tell what they said today." After hearing this, Han Zhongwei was already worried. This matter was mostly related to Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang could not have any connection with Wu Jiang. He should have been entrusted by someone. As for the person he entrusted, he is still about to come out now...v
