Yuci is known as "Wei Yu, located in the Jinzhong Basin in central Shanxi. It borders Shouyang in the east, Qingxu in the west, Taigu in the south, and Taiyuan in the northwest. This ancient county with a long history gradually merges into the darkness in the sunset. The huge city tower on the low walls, the black figure is like a monster's head standing in front of Dong Haichuan's eyes...com

Dong Haichuan, Dong Xianzhou, Ma Weiqi, Cheng Tinghua and his group dressed up with merchants, and followed the caravan transporting cloth to Yuci.

As we entered the city, the sky was getting darker, the streets and alleys were already on the first lights, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

He went to the warehouse of "Risenchang" to unload the goods. The local shopkeeper of "Risenchang" accompanied Dong Haichuan and his four people to find an inn to stay in.

The shopkeeper was surnamed Li, from Shanxi, and he was related to his relatives with his boss Li Zhen. Along the way, Dong Haichuan and shopkeeper Li were having an argument. When they arrived at the place, they saw that shopkeeper Li was leaving, Dong Haichuan kept shopkeeper Li with kindness. Dong Xianzhou, who accompanied him, ordered the waiter in the store to bring a table of good wine and dishes.

On the table, Dong Haichuan and Manager Li went to each other and drank a few glasses of wine. After drinking, Manager Li became excited with a deeper conversation.

When Dong Haichuan saw the opportunity, the topic gradually turned to the case of Zhao Ergu.

Manager Li knew that Dong Haichuan and his group were friends of Manager Lei Da, and he really thought that Dong Haichuan and others came to Shanxi this time to run a coal mine. Manager Li did not doubt that he and Dong Haichuan and others knew everything.

This shopkeeper Li was in charge of the dye shop and cloth business in Yuci area for a long time, so he naturally knew clearly about the recent controversy of Zhao Ergu's case. Hearing Dong Haichuan ask, shopkeeper Li said with a happier feeling in his words: "I have to respect my parents and officials here every now and then, I know the matter of Zhao Ergu."

Speaking of this, Manager Li burped and looked back, looked up with a breath of alcohol, and whispered, "What I'm talking about cannot be spread."

Seeing Dong Haichuan and others agreeing, Manager Li picked up a dumpling and lowered his voice and said, "That time I went to send a holiday gift to Lord Lu. As soon as I entered the door, I ran into the door and saw the local wealthy Chang family coming out. Lord Lu also followed behind and sent the person out. Seeing that Lord Lu called me into the seat for a while, not long after, I saw Lord Lu hand over the 1,000 taels of silver I gave to the housekeeper who came in, and told him to collect 5,000 taels of money to deliver to the prefect of Shen in Taiyuan Prefecture. I joked, "Lord Lu is not doing hard labor for transport."

Lord Lu laughed and pointed at my nose and said, "Shopkeeper Li also knows that it is difficult for us parents to be in charge. When we go to the capital to do business, we have to collect cash. It is difficult for those who don't give money to the people above the bank to do it." I saw Lord Lu's fat head, big ears, and rosy face. I really didn't understand what it was difficult for him. Didn't the wool come from the sheep? In the end, they all came from, and we didn't come from our suckers. The five thousand taels of silver he paid were just a tiny tin from him. I thought to myself, he would open a dye room with a little color."

Dong Haichuan showed interest, nodded from time to time with his smile. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard Manager Li talk about the topic.

"Mr. Lu talked to me about the case of Zhao Ergu. He whispered to me that it was not to protect you gentry and good people. I had no choice but to wrongly accuse the eldest girl Zhao Ergu. I had no choice but to lock up the kind children like Manager Li and ask for punishment. I scolded myself, "My grandma, I compared me with Yan Sihu, the beast. But I scolded me in my heart, but I still smiled."

Hearing this, Dong Haichuan raised his head to drink the wine in his glass, and anger flashed on his face. When Ma Weiqi next to him saw it, he quickly pulled Dong Haichuan's clothes under the table. Feeling Ma Weiqi next to him pulling him, Dong Haichuan understood and the anger on his face disappeared.

The shopkeeper Li lay on the table halfway through speaking and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

After sending Manager Li back, Dong Haichuan returned to the guest room. He called his brothers Dong Xianzhou, Ma Weiqi, Cheng Tinghua and others who were invited to discuss this time. The four of them discussed and decided to visit the villagers tomorrow, and then go to Taiyuan Prefecture to inquire.

The four martial arts practitioners were all decisive and decisive. When they got up early the next morning, they asked the waiter to ask. Ma Weiqi was a master of iron sand palm. Before the question, he smashed a stool into two bare hands. The waiter knew that he had met an expert and answered the situation clearly.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the four of them went out to visit the insiders.

These villagers knew that they were here to appeal for the wronged person of Zhao Ergu, and they actively cooperated with Dong Haichuan and the other four, and learned the real situation clearly. They also made some confessions and records. Among them, the important witnesses also put their handprints on them. After finishing these things, the four rushed to Taiyuan overnight.

Dong Haichuan and his team did not lift their saddles and arrived in Taiyuan at noon the next day.

The four of them quickly washed up in an inn and changed into silk clothes. Ma Weiqi also wore a small hat with jasper on his head. The few of them changed their clothes and had a bit of wealth from their boss. Everyone changed their clothes, and led by Ma Weiqi, who had already done coal business, visited Zhang Jiangui, who was in the Taiyuan section of Rishengchang.

***************************************

The case of Zhao Ergu in Yuci was sent back for retrial, which really made Taiyuan prefect Shen Cong nervous for a while. When he found out that the imperial envoy who came to Taiyuan this time was Na Qing'an, the Minister of Justice, the stone in Shen Cong's heart fell. He thought that he was donating his official position through the Qing'an activity. Every year, Shi Jing and Shen Cong dared not fall behind others. The money was given thousands of dollars.

Shen Cong put down the letters sent by the messenger and asked someone to take the money to reward the official who delivered the letters. He picked up the tea bowl and covered the tea with a bowl and took a sip. The mellow fragrance of the famous Fujian tea Dahongpao was circling on the tip of Shen Cong's tongue. The anxiety these days seemed to be completely eliminated by the smell of tea.

Master Gou bowed and said, "Congratulations, Lord Qing'an is here this time, things will definitely pass smoothly."

Shen Cong put down the tea bowl with an unpleasant expression and said, "Lu Xiling is too confused about doing things, a small thing has become like this."

Master Gou stroked his goatee under his jaw and smiled, "If Lu Xiling doesn't protect him, if Lu Xiling comes to the capital and gets leaking his mouth, not everyone in the world will know about our Shanxi."

Why didn’t Shen Cong know what Master Gou said? He was shocked and stopped mentioning this matter.

I'm afraid Shen Cong knew more than just Shen Cong knew how many people in the world were except the emperor, how many officials in the world could stand the investigation. Usually, 30% of the money from the top was implemented, even if the errands were done well. Moreover, Shen Cong was a donor. In order to do this, he donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to the court, and he didn't know how many legs he ran away in private. The money was more than the official account, so he got the Taiyuan prefect. This money was saved by his ancestors little by little. If he didn't get it back during his tenure, Shen Cong would be sorry for his ancestors.

While the two were talking, a yamen runner came to report that the Minister of Justice of the Capital, Na Qing'an, sent Qin to Taiyuan, Shanxi to Taiyuan for the case of Zhao Ergu. He has now reached Shanxi and will arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow.

You said that Qing'an and Dong Haichuan received the imperial edict one after another and left Beijing City on the same day. Why did Dong Haichuan come to Yuci and return to Taiyuan? Qing'an only arrived one day after another. Just because Qing'an was an imperial envoy, he naturally had to talk about the show. He was surrounded by the way, and there were sedan chairs. Dong Haichuan was different. He rode one by one and went to Hebei area to find his old brothers, and then four of them rushed to Yuci, which was of course much faster than Qing'an.
