Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 35
On the evening of the second day after the pleading paper was sent to the county government, the county magistrate from Yecheng came to report first, telling Kong Linglong that he had caught a troublemaker.

The so-called thieves and gangsters occupy one side. Of course, they are cunning. It is absolutely impossible to catch one or two of them alone. It is not difficult at all.

And the reason why Yecheng County Grandpa acted so swiftly was because Kong Linglong said in the letter that it doesn't matter what kind of attack, as long as the County Grandpa can catch one or two bandits, it will be done.

A large amount of money has been promised in advance, and the other party's request is so simple, why didn't the county magistrate work hard to make it happen?

Therefore, after one night, the thief took it.Thanks to Kong Linglong's silver envoy, the bag that was sealed to Yecheng was full of gold.

Kong Linglong smiled lightly after hearing the news, she must say that Yecheng County's magistrate is really efficient and unambiguous in his work, she just spotted such a person: "Order someone to prepare a carriage, I want to go to the county government office for a while." trip."

This city of Ye is really close to Xianyang, the steed that Kong Linglong raises doesn't take more than two hours to go back and forth, even if he goes to a neighboring county, what a big deal it is.

Kong Yaoguang, who heard this, overturned the teacup, and stared at Kong Wei who returned: "Caught it so soon?!"

This is simply impossible, and when he heard that he had obtained a water trap, he suppressed his heart again, and said to Kong Wei: "It doesn't matter, I only arrested one person anyway, so why worry, this is still the envoy of Kong Linglong." The plan I came up with is to make you mess up."

But Kong Wei couldn't believe what Kong Yaoguang said more and more. The county government caught the matter of Shui Yu. Of course, Kong Linglong immediately notified Kong Shiliu in Dongxiang and him in Beixiang. ".

Kong Wei only gave away all the gold yesterday, and today he heard that he had been arrested, so he was very nervous, so don't worry about it.He approached Kong Yaoguang, but Kong Yaoguang was also confused.

Kong Yaoguang said: "Don't worry, don't say that you caught one, it's really even the pot. Those who have eaten the food are absolutely impossible to spit out. If they succumb to the interrogation of the county government, they will lose everything." !"

The bandits are the least likely to give up the benefits they have obtained, and they will get nothing if they bow their heads to the county government.

But there is nothing absolutely impossible in this world. This is Kong Linglong's experience in her previous life. What she thought was impossible turned out to be possible in the end.

The grandfather of Yecheng County has been guarding this poor and miserable job for thirty years. How could he let go of the fame of the Confucian family's wealth and wealth? It is rare that the newly appointed head of the family is so upright. He cheered up the day he received the pleadings All the yamen servants were sent out, and within a day, they took an opportunity from the county magistrate of Xianyang.

When Kong Linglong got off the carriage, the magistrate had been waiting for a long time, and immediately led Kong Linglong to meet the Shuiyu.

Kong Linglong took a look at the Shui Yu, who was tall and thick, with a scar on his face, but with a standard fierce appearance.

And when Shui Yu saw Kong Linglong as a woman, he sneered, with a little frivolity in his eyes.They float on the water all year round, but they rarely see such a lovely girl.

Kong Linglong glanced at the man, then looked at the magistrate indifferently: "My lord, I don't know what can be found in the trial?"

The county magistrate's surname is Li, Mr. Li stroked his beard and said, "It's been a whole night of interrogation, this thief has such a virtue anyway, I can't do anything about it."

Na Shuiyu snorted coldly: "Catching people and taking dirty things, adults just grab the little ones like this, how can the little ones be convinced?"

Kong Linglong motioned for Master Li to take a step to speak, and Master Li understood.

The two of them took two steps, and Li Dacai asked: "I see that the young master has a plan. In the letter, the official only needs to arrest one person, but I don't know what the young master will do next?"

Although Master Li has been a seventh-rank county magistrate for decades, he should have a lot of eyesight. He knows that this girl from the Kong family must have follow-up measures since she explained it in the letter.

Kong Linglong said to Master Li: "My lord, these water scorpions are running rampant on the water all year round, and their family members must also live on the water. Seeing that this person is not young, he must have both sons and daughters. Although he was arrested by the adults, he will Thinking that if she really confesses, it will endanger the safety of her family and relatives, so she will definitely kill her and not say it. The adults can't get evidence, and it will be difficult to convict, so after much deliberation, Linglong came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

After hearing Kong Linglong's analysis, Mr. Li was convinced, and said, "Young master, please tell me, as long as you don't violate the law, I will help you with all your strength."

Master Li's heart can still be weighed. Although the young master is young, he seems to be able to do things. Giving her a favor by himself will be beneficial and harmless to him in the future.

Kong Linglong smiled slightly: "Thank you, my lord. That's it. That group of Shuiyu must now know that someone under his command has been arrested. Your lord might as well release the news that the bitter master who is now suing has agreed to privately. As long as Shuiyu is willing to send the stolen salt The ship was sent back, we let the past go, let this person go."

Mr. Li thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that those people are unwilling to give up so many cargoes in the hands of the young master for one person. After all, rare goods can be lived in."

These boats full of fine salt are worth tens of thousands of taels of gold. Master Li knows all about it. How could those greedy water scumbags give up?Although their people have been detained now, there is no sense of loyalty among these thieves.

Kong Linglong said: "What your lord said is very true, or put it this way, the salt boats lost in the east and north lanes of the Kong family totaled as many as ten boats. As long as they are willing to release one boat back, they will be detained. The accomplices who live there, even if they give in, my Kong family will also withdraw the pleadings, and the matter will not be pursued."

Master Li looked at Kong Linglong curiously, it was interesting to be a young master, ten boats were robbed, and only one boat was asked to be returned.Of course, one ship is also a lot of money. Originally, they lost all their money. If they can recover one ship, the loss will be reduced to some extent.

Mr. Li wanted to understand, so he responded: "I understand, so I will order someone to pass the message to those water scorpions. How to do it depends on how they decide."

Kong Linglong said, "Naturally, it's already a great help if your lord can help catch him."

Yu'er immediately stuffed a bag of silver in the past with sharp eyesight and hands. Master Li weighed it, and then smiled: "Don't worry, before the sun sets today, you can receive the news from me if you take care of the group of water pigs."

Kong Linglong thanked Mr. Li, and left with his subordinates.

Master Li turned around to face the caught Shuizhu, and smiled fiercely: "Miss Kong is kind-hearted, and she is willing to give you a way out. As long as your group of brothers agree to release a salt boat, I will exchange you back. As long as your people still care about you, they shouldn't agree to such a generous condition."

Put back one boat, there are still nine boats, it's really a drop in the bucket.Even Master Li couldn't think of the reason why they didn't agree to the exchange.

However, upon hearing this, Shui Yu's face turned completely pale.

Kong Linglong returned to Kong Zhai, but a smile slowly crossed the corner of her mouth.

Yu'er really admired her from the bottom of her heart, and said: "Missy is really ingenious and unparalleled, and she is not inferior to the old master at all!"

Kong Linglong looked at her: "Don't be complacent, Third Uncle Kong has been in the business world for many years, he can't think of it for a while, maybe he will understand after thinking about it."

For the first time, Kong Yaoguang didn't even bother to eat dinner, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, anxiously waiting for Liu Ahsi's arrival.Even Kong Wei felt like he was on the verge of a formidable enemy, none of them knew what had happened.

When night fell, Liu Asi finally came to the door. Kong Yaoguang was startled when he saw someone else, and before he could ask anything, he hurried to lock the door tightly.

Liu Ahsi is the leader of that group of water scorpions.

Seeing Liu Ahsi's complexion is not good, Kong Yaoguang didn't go around the corner: "What's the matter? Why do we have to meet today?"

Kong Yaoguang was involved in the business world, and of course there were ways to do both black and white, and Liu Ah Si had a lot of bloodless deals with him in private.

Anyway, they are all making money, and no one can become brothers.

Liu Asi gritted his teeth: "Sir, you have spoken. The county magistrate in Yecheng arrested our Xiong San and said that we have robbed ten cargoes in total. If we are willing to release one ship, we will return Xiong San to us." .”

No one understood the meaning of these words better than Kong Yaoguang, so his complexion became not very good-looking.

Kong Linglong even said that she only needs a boatload of salt, what is the plan?Of course, she is the head of the family, so she won't alarm the government in both places for a mere boatload of salt.

Liu Asi sneered: "But you guys don't know that we only have one cargo in our hands, and the other nine are still in your hands. It was agreed that we would bear this crime, but you actually forgot Righteousness, and even signed the pleadings and sent them to the government to arrest us, now that our people have been arrested, don't think you can stay out of the matter."

It turns out that this is the real reason.Kong Yaoguang partnered with this Liu Ah Si, and promised Liu Ah Si a boatload of salt as interest, so that outsiders would know that it was Shui Yu who robbed the Kong family's salt ship. In fact, Kong Yaoguang and Kong Wei, the partners, It has already devoured the remaining nine boats of salt.

But that was before, and now that Liu Ahsi's own men were arrested, and they couldn't even keep the only boatload of salt, how could he still be willing to cover up for Kong Yaoguang.

Thinking of this level, Kong Yaoguang immediately felt cold, and wanted to stabilize Liu Ah Si first: "You have only been taken away by a fellow, and the boatload of refined salt I gave you is enough to be worth tens of thousands of taels of gold. Which is more important, you don't know, do you?"

Kong Yaoguang was still tempting, Liu Ahsi was silent for a while, but sneered again: "My brother is leading the family. His wife and son don't know that we only robbed a boatload of salt. I heard that we even took a boatload of salt away. I am reluctant to take it out in exchange for Xiong San. His wife and son have long been dissatisfied with me as the leader. Shopkeeper Kong, you are also the one who leads people under your command. You know that if you have a bad reputation among the people below, you will cause people to be unstable. , can this leader sit still?"

Liu Ahsi was a gangster, if his subordinates misunderstood that he was a person who disregarded his brother's life for money, how could he be convinced.
