In fact, according to Sun Jielai's previous investigation results, there has been an inference.

Wu Zhirong, the county magistrate of Wucheng County, is most likely the Wu Zhirong in history.

I can match everything about my hometown information, but I am afraid of people with the same name and surname.

No matter what the reason is, no matter what kind of identity it is.

The result can only be obtained after personal investigation, and it is precisely because of this that Sun Jie wanted to come over and see for himself what was going on.

Sitting in the Golden Luan Hall, if you can't bend down and go deep into the folks to have a look, you will be easily deceived by the appearance of things in many cases.

The lessons learned from the end of the Ming Dynasty are right in front of Sun Jie's eyes. If the purity of the team cannot be maintained, the consequences will be extremely bad.

Besides, it is very important for a little Wu Zhirong to reach the position of county magistrate by what means.

These have to be figured out.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Sun Jie was a little puzzled.

"Why did these people just run away? I don't look that scary, do I?!" Sun Jie said.

"Who knows, these people look weird, as if they ran back in a hurry when they saw us, they really don't understand!" Sun Wenyue also looked puzzled.

Sun Jie thought for a while, then went up.

Standing in front of the dealer's gate, he gently tapped the copper ring in front of the gate.

There is copper rust on the copper ring, and it looks like it has been aged for a long time.

The Zhuang family is one of the richest households in Wucheng County, and it has been passed down for a long time. This house is estimated to have a history of a hundred years.

Zhuang Tingyue opened a crack in the door and looked out from inside.

He saw Sun Jie standing at the door.

Then hastily closed the door.

Sun Jie was turned away and stood at the door, really wondering why the dealer did this.

About seven or eight minutes later, Sun Jie took Sun Wenyue to leave.

Just before turning around and taking a few steps, the door opened again from behind.

"This one, please stay still!"

Zhuang Yuncheng stood outside the gate and called to stop Sun Jie.

Turning around to look, Sun Jie was even more puzzled.

Why are you surprised?
The door was closed so tightly just now, why is the door opened again now?
It's completely different from just now.

"You guys, why can't I understand?" Sun Jie asked.

"Please forgive me, there was something on my mind that I didn't notice just now, if I offended, I still look at Haihan!" Zhuang Yuncheng cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

In fact, when he went back just now, he packed up all the things his son had made and changed the place again.

Compared with Wu Zhirong, he is more afraid of Sun Jie.

It's not that he knows Sun Jae's identity, but he's afraid of Sun Jae's accent.

Sun Jie is not from Jiangnan, so his speech naturally has a Shaanxi flavor.

The left-behind soldiers stationed in the city basically came from Shaanxi.

This accent represents Shaanxi as well as Daqin.

After hearing this accent, Zhuang Yuncheng inevitably flustered.

Coupled with Wu Zhirong's various actions before, he was afraid that Sun Jie would know about this matter, and he was afraid that Sun Jie would send people to investigate.

For a split second, he even thought that Sun Jie was the one who came to investigate this matter.

But after I went back, I thought about it again, if I was too excited, wouldn't there be no silver 300 taels here?

This opened the door.

"It's nothing. I'm a businessman from Shaanxi. I came to the south for business. I seldom go shopping in the south, so I want to know more about the local customs and customs here. I met you with a friendly face and an extraordinary bearing, so I want to come and visit!" Sun Jie also agreed. Arched his hands and said.

"Everyone who comes is a guest, please!"

Zhuang Yuncheng turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Sun Jie was not polite either, and followed him in.

The Zhuang family's house is neither big nor luxurious, it looks more casual, without the elegance of Suzhou gardens, it is just a relatively large house.

It looks very empty at this time, with a lot less fireworks.

But there is a faint smell of ink in the air, which is the case in farming and reading heirlooms.

Coming to the front hall, Sun Jie sat on the side.

Sun Wenyue stood next to Sun Jie, looking around with a pair of eyes.

Zhuang Tingyue brought tea, and Sun Jie took a sip.

It's just ordinary tea, it's not outstanding, and it doesn't have much taste.

"Your Excellency said that you came from Shaanxi, which makes me a little interested. Shaanxi is the land of Longxing. I heard that Chang'an is even more prosperous. I think you should be number one!" Zhuang Yuncheng said with a smile.

Different from the smile when facing Wu Zhirong, this time there is a lot more indifference.

Sun Jie put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "Whoever is a character is not a character, they are just eating together. Now that the world is gradually calming down, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and a businessman like me has a place to play. Fortunately, His Majesty does not Not to belittle commercial affairs, nor to discriminate against businessmen, this gave me such a good opportunity!"

"The words are reasonable and well said!" Zhuang Yuncheng praised repeatedly.

It's impossible to say that Zhuang Yuncheng didn't have the slightest bit of resentment towards Sun Jie.

Although he is an innocent family, he still has a lot of habits of landlords and gentry.

The servants in the family were already used to ordering them around. After Sun Jie's army arrived, they disappeared immediately. No matter what they did, they had to do it themselves. How could they feel happy?

But I dared to keep these words in my heart.

He was afraid that he would lose his life or be exiled abroad like those evil gentry and bullies.

Just like this, Sun Jie and Zhuang Yuncheng were chatting nonsense, chatting and chatting, and they got involved with Wu Zhirong.

"Wucheng County is a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, capable people come out in large numbers, but I have heard a lot of rumors all the way here!" Sun Jie said suddenly.

"How do you say that?" Zhuang Yuncheng looked serious, stopped in mid-air with the hand holding the teacup, and looked at Sun Jie with all his attention.

Sun Jie said: "I was wandering outside, but suddenly I heard the yelling, so I wanted to come over to join in the fun, and saw the scene just now.

That tricycle should belong to the government, right? Could it be that it was from the government just now?It looks a bit arrogant and domineering! "

"How to say this, I can't tell for a while!" Zhuang Yuncheng laughed.

He deeply agrees with what Sun Jie said, but he can't make any statement now.

One is that he doesn't know Sun Jie's identity, and the other is that he is afraid that what he said now will reach Wu Zhirong's ears.

So I can only do this, saying ambiguous words and laughing.

Sun Jie asked again tentatively, but still found nothing.

I had no choice but to avoid this topic.

After staying at the dealer for more than half an hour, Sun Jie left.

As soon as the front foot left, the dealer locked the door with the back foot.

In fact, what they are doing now is somewhat taboo.

Originally, they were not so worried, but now that Sun Jie was in the south, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After leaving the dealer, Sun Jie wandered on the street.

There are many guards hidden around and around.

They always pay attention to their surroundings to prevent any accidents.

Before he knew it, Sun Jie stopped at the county government office in Wucheng County.

The county government office is not very big and looks dilapidated.

The Ming Dynasty had a tradition of not repairing the yamen. Wucheng County was not long after it was taken, and before it could be repaired, the yamen was naturally dilapidated.

It was deserted in front of the door, there was no one there, and it looked a bit bleak.

"Tricycles are government vehicles, and I have clearly stipulated that officials are not allowed to use them in private unless they are on official business.

The people who went to the dealer must be people from the government, and what they did was not necessarily official business.If it is a business matter, why bother to go to the dealer in person, just let the dealer's family come to the Yamen directly?
If what Wu Zhirong said in the memorial is true, why doesn't the dealer know anything?If Wu Zhirong really wanted to eliminate harm for the people, he should search the banker, control the evidence, and apply to the department for handling.

But now, nothing happened, what is he waiting for?
A small banker, shouldn't be cautious and afraid of scaring the snake, right? "

Sun Jie had more doubts in his heart.

Then I went around the Yamen again, and finally stayed in an inn not far from the Yamen.

Through the window of the room, you can clearly see the gate of the yamen.

At sunset, Sun Jie stood behind the window and watched quietly.

The tricycle suddenly drove out from the gate of the yamen and headed in one direction.

Sun Jie hurriedly asked people to follow.

In the middle of the night, the news finally came back.

The tricycle went to a shop in the south of the city and parked outside for a long time.

The person in the car was Wu Zhirong, the county magistrate of Wucheng County.

It is relatively easy to figure out his identity.

But in order to avoid alarming others, the people Sun Jie sent out did not climb over the wall to enter.

It seems that there should be something else.

There is a high probability that it is something shameful.

The night was deep, and Sun Jie stood in front of the window, looking at the night scene in front of him.

A little Wu Zhirong is not a problem, the problem is the people behind him.

It is not yet clear who and how many people are involved behind him, but it is certain that there are definitely people behind him.
