Chapter 229 Send Him to the Officials
Ye Zhiming and two other people drove away in the carriage, and the two people tied behind the carriage trotted after them.
The carriage kicked up a large cloud of dust, and the two people behind were so dazzled that they could hardly open their eyes.
Looking at the carriage going away, Jiang Si suddenly thought of something and turned back to Fan Tong and said, "Let's go to Fan's Business first."
Fan Tong turned around and looked at Jiang Si, then pointed at the city gate that was temporarily blocked by the Yan family army and said, "It seems that we can't get in for the time being."
Jiang Si smiled, took out the token of Zhenbei Palace from the space and handed it to General Xue.
When General Xue saw the black token in Jiang Si's hand, he almost dropped the spear in his hand.
General Xue saluted with his fist, looked at Jiang Si and asked, "Who are you?"
Jiang Si did not answer this question, but smiled and said, "General Xue, can you please let us enter the city?"
Hearing these polite words, Xue Xiangwen was a little uncomfortable for a moment, thinking: Who dares to stop you when you have the prince's token?
"Of course, please come in, young lady." Xue Xiangwen turned sideways and waved his hand, immediately making way for Jiang Si and their carriage to enter the city.
The group drove away quickly in the carriage and headed towards Fan's Commercial Bank.
As soon as the group arrived at the door of the store, they saw a drunken man in fancy clothes hooking the shopkeeper's neck and asking him for money.
"Manager Fang, lend me a hundred taels of silver and put it on my brother-in-law's account."
Shopkeeper Fang stepped back calmly and pushed his hand away, "Mr. Zhang, I won't give you any money until you settle your previous accounts."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang immediately became angry and threw the things on the table to the ground, "My brother-in-law is your master's uncle, you don't give me face, do you?"
Jiang Si and his group stood at the door and didn't go in, just to see how the shopkeeper would handle it.
"Uncle Ye is Uncle Ye. Why don't you go and get it from Uncle Ye in person, Mr. Zhang? Why bother coming here and wasting your time?" Shopkeeper Fang refused to give in.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, you have guts." Young Master Zhang took a step back, cursed, and turned to leave.
"Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Zhang?" A man with a big belly and a wretched face ran quickly past Jiang Si and the others.
"Li Zheng, you've come at the right time. Give me a hundred taels." Seeing the person coming, Young Master Zhang waved his hand and gave a direct order.
The wretched man named Li Zheng smiled flatteringly, took out a hundred taels from his purse and handed it to him, "It's mine."
"Thank...thank you!" After receiving the banknote, the drunken Master Zhang staggered out. When he reached the door, he glanced at Jiang Si with lustful eyes.
If they weren't dressed appropriately, I'm afraid they would have come up and caused trouble long ago.
inside the house.
"Fang Congyu, put the one hundred taels in the account." Li Zheng looked at Shopkeeper Fang and waved his hand casually to give the order.
Shopkeeper Fang picked up the things that were smashed by Young Master Zhang, looked up at him, hesitated for a while, and said, "Manager Li, this is against the rules."
After hearing what he said, Li Zheng's face darkened and he threatened: "Fang Congyu, you don't want to do this anymore, right?"
Thinking of his seriously ill mother at home, Fang Congyu was stunned for a moment, and then took out the account book.
Just as he was about to write on it, a few "uninvited guests" came to the door.
"Wait!" Jiang Si's voice sounded coldly.
Li Zheng and Fang Congyu in the room both looked up towards the door.
"Gan Lin, go get all their account books."
Hearing Jiang Si's words, Gan Lin immediately stepped forward, and Manager Li, who was looking at Jiang Si in a lewd manner, came back to his senses at this moment.
"Who are you? Do you want to cause trouble at Fan's Company? Why don't you ask us about our backs..."
Before Manager Li could finish his words, a flying knife slid past his cheek and hit the pillar behind him.
"Shut up!"
This move of Jiang Si frightened Manager Li so much that he was shaking like a sieve and dared not speak a word.
Gan Lin went around to the back of the counter, and Fang Congyu stuffed the account book in his hand into the cabinet, blocking it tightly to prevent him from moving.
"Who are you? If you do this, I can report you to the police and have you arrested."
Gan Lin knocked Fang Congyu to the ground in a few moves, then took out all the account books in the cabinet and handed them to Jiang Si.
Fan Tong brought a chair over from the back, "Sit down, wife!"
Jiang Si sat on a chair, with two tall men, Fan Tong and Ming Jinghuan, standing on her left and right, looking very intimidating.
The rustling sound of flipping papers echoed in the room. After a quick glance, Jiang Si put the account book down.
"That's great. I've swallowed this much in just this month."
Jiang Si's words made Manager Li on the opposite side tremble violently. His eyes, full of calculation, looked at the people in front of him repeatedly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he took two steps back, "Excuse me, are they the young master and the young mistress?"
Jiang Si looked at him with a smile on her face, but did not respond. She turned to look at the two maids standing at the door.
"Zhihua and Zhiqi, send him to the government and make him spit out everything he has swallowed over the years."
"Yes!"
Zhihua stepped forward and held Li Zheng, while Zhiqi took the black token from Jiang Si.
Jiang Si looked up at Zhiqi and instructed, "Tell the county magistrate to impose a severe sentence."
"Yes, miss!"
After hearing Jiang Si's words, Manager Li finally panicked and quickly begged for mercy: "Madam, Madam, I was wrong. Please give me another chance, Madam..."
When the matter of sending the official was mentioned just now, Manager Li was relieved, so Jiang Si took out the token.
Watching Manager Li being taken away, Fan Tong looked down at his wife and felt incredible about the way she handled things today.
"Wife, why are you so merciful today?"
Jiang Si looked back at Fan Tong and rolled her eyes at him, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."
Fan Tong slapped his broken mouth and stood up.
At the side, Fang Congyu, who was still sitting on the ground, also got up, stepped forward, and saluted to Jiang Si, "I am Fang Congyu, greeting the young master and young mistress."
Fang Congyu was very nervous at the moment. He just wanted to help Li Zheng to make false accounts, and he didn't know how the young master and mistress would punish him.
Jiang Si nodded slightly, and then said, "Send someone to call the shopkeepers of all the businesses under the name of the Fan family here. I want to see them before dark."
"Yes, Young Madam!" Fang Congyu was a little surprised that the Young Madam did not punish her and quickly gathered people.
Watching Fang Congyu's back as she left, Jiang Si's fingers fell on the account book and tapped it rhythmically, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing Fang Congyu's sight completely disappear from his eyes, Fan Tong looked at Gan Lin beside him.
“Gan Lin, ask the people at Xindiefang to investigate the connections between local officials and merchants, especially the Ye family army.”
"Yes, son-in-law." Gan Lin nodded to Fan Tong, turned around and walked out.
When Gan Lin walked to the door, Jiang Si suddenly spoke: "Wait!"
Gan Lin turned around and looked at Jiang Si, and asked softly, "Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Jiang Si's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Investigate the Yan Family Army as well, especially the matter with the Withered Soul Valley."
