Chapter 76
Lu Guangzu said with a gloomy face: "The matter of Zhang Dalu has nothing to do with you, don't cause trouble for yourself for no reason, you should know how many yamen are involved in the Caochangyuan matter."

Of course, Zhang Tuiguan knew it well, and he would not be frightened by Lu Guangzu's words. The Tuiguan who can do Shuntian Mansion Yamen is not an ordinary master's staff.

He is very clear in his heart, he can have today's seat, all thanks to Shen Guangzuo's support.

In an emergency, he would only stand by Shen Guangzuo's side.

Sun Chuanting, as Engong's mantle disciple, of course had to stand by his side, why would he hand him over to the patrol just because of Lu Guangzu's words.

Not to mention that Sun Chuanting would be dissatisfied with him, Shen Guangzuo also thought Zhang Tuiguan was useless and feared power.

Zhang Tuiguan ignored Lu Guangzu's threat and immediately took Li Dingguo away with the yamen servant without saying a word.

But before leaving, Zhang Tuiguan took out the seal of Shuntian Mansion and sealed Liu Eitou's house.

He carried away the illegal salt so as not to be stolen and lose the physical evidence.

Li Mian kept watching with cold eyes. When Li Dingguo and the private salt were taken away by Zhang Tuiguan at the same time, he stood up from the threshold, straightened the Ning silk round collar robe, and left the grass yard.

Only Lu Guangzu was left alone, riding on the tall horse, his face was always gloomy and extremely ugly.

Lu Guangzu suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted: "Go, report this matter to the commander immediately."

It was useless to report to a commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division. The witnesses and physical evidence were all taken away by the Shuntianfu Yamen, and it was impossible to rob people from the Shuntianfu Yamen.

The commander can only go to the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It would be even better if he can find the eunuch from the palace.

However, Lu Guangzu thought that the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was the stinky and tough Shen Guangzuo, and he would not rush to curry favor with the eunuch.

Every time he met the eunuchs, he wished to give these eunuchs two big mouths, and would not hand over the evidence of the person who sold the illegal salt.

Lu Guangzu felt tricky, and this time he met a difficult opponent, which even made his scalp tingle.

Li Mian is not a poor family without any support from official elders, he is clearly an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for many years.

The rings are intertwined, and the seams are tight.

Taking advantage of the nature of selling private salt, Sun Chuanting and Shen Guangzuo successively, they set up a bureau easily, leaving no room for the yamen such as Wucheng soldiers and horses to intervene.

Not only did he get rid of Liu Goetou who helped Wucheng Bingmasi and other yamen get money in the grass yard, but he would also take away the prostitution business and gambling house business.

On the way back, Lu Guangzu repeatedly thought about what happened today, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

A son-in-law from a poor family who was ignored by all the officials actually made a mess of an old bureaucrat with many years of ups and downs.

Either he has an expert behind him, or he is a rare official.

No matter which one it was, it made Lu Guangzu feel deeply afraid, and even had the ridiculous idea that he shouldn't persecute Princess Changping a few days ago.

In the next few days, Li Mian calmed down, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to take away the prostitution business and gambling house business in Caochangyuan.

When Li Dingguo's matter was completely settled and he was commended by the government, he went to Princess Changping's Huangzhuang to confirm his identity and divided a few acres of land for him to rent.

Li Dingguo's affairs are over.

Li Mian went to find Sun Chuanting again, and was going to find that down-and-out scholar named He Jin.

He Jin also lived in the Caochangyuan area, his family was poor, and he was a down-and-out scholar who had given up taking the imperial examination.

On the way to Caochangyuan, Sun Chuanting became curious about He Jin, and couldn't figure out why Li Mian picked a frail scholar who was powerless.

The bravery displayed by Li Dingguo was enough to amaze Sun Chuanting.

Only with Li Dingguo's bravery can he snatch the prostitution business and gambling house business from the outlaws in Caochangyuan.

A frail scholar is not of much use.

As the two walked into the Caochangyuan, Sun Chuanting couldn't hold back anymore and asked: "The prostitution business and gambling shop business in Caochangyuan are mainly in the hands of three people, and these three people control [-]% of the entire Caochangyuan. Prostitutes and gambling houses. Li Dingguo single-handedly killed Liu Eitou's house, and made a great reputation in Caochangyuan, and even Qingshou Goetou in the capital, and no one dared to compete with him for prostitutes and gambling houses."

Li Mian nodded, Li Dingguo's bravery is one aspect.

More importantly, Li Dingguo walked out of the Shuntian Mansion Prison safe and sound with more than a dozen lives on his hands.

Li Dingguo knew behind his back that there were noble people supporting this matter, and the Qinghanded Goose in the Caochangyuan, no matter how coveted the prostitutes and gambling houses left behind by Liu Goetou, dared not do it lightly.

Sun Chuanting admired Li Mian for being able to pick out a brave Li Dingguo from the yellow book, but he was still not optimistic about the down-and-out scholar He Jin: "The remaining two are Wan Siquan, the nephew of the imperial censor Wan'an of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other One is Lu Yangguan, the concubine of Lu Guangzu. No matter which one he is, he is not a good stump, and a weak scholar can solve it. Among other things, even if He Jin is not as brave as Li Dingguo, as long as there are enough desperadoes around him, It is possible to fight for it, as he is a down-and-out scholar, where would he know outlaws, and some are just classmates who are also powerless."

However, Li Mian shook his head, and pointed to Caimen not far away: "There are many down-and-out scholars in Caochangyuan, and Li chose him. There is a reason why he was carefully selected from many down-and-out scholars. Because from the From his resume, we can see some clues, although we are not [-]% sure, but we are pretty sure."

Li Mian's words were ambiguous and vague, and he did not clearly express the meaning of clues.

The two had already reached the door of He Jin's house, as long as they walked in, they could see the clues of what he said.

Sun Chuanting walked to the door of the dilapidated small courtyard, and took a look. It was just a mud house with many cracks on the mud walls, which looked dilapidated.

He looked at it for a long time, but didn't see any clues that Li Mian said, so he simply pushed open the dilapidated chai gate, walked into the dilapidated courtyard, and met He Jin, a down-and-out scholar carefully selected by Li Mian.

When Sun Chuanting walked in, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and subconsciously held down the saber with his palm.

In the small yard, there were more than a dozen black and thin men standing.

While thin, you can clearly see the muscles on your body.

Hei Shou became lean, with a naked upper body and covered with various scars.

Especially in the shoulder position, the scars are the most.

Sun Chuanting had been to the border, and he could tell that the scars on the black and thin men were not from sword wounds, but from years of hard work.
