Chapter 15 Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water(1/2)
When Meng Da heard what Gu Ming said, he was a little confused: "Why? Don't forget that we are still carrying a burnt corpse."
"Because of this, we can't enter..."
Gu Ming led his horse to the side of the road and sat down.
"What are you selling?"
"Uncle Da, how effective do you think we can just bring Wu Xu back like this?
Niu Er would not admit it at all, and Feng Jiyuan would try every means to cover it up for him, and even turn the blame on us..."
"I understand everything you said..." Meng Da sighed: "But no matter what the result is, we have to submit a meeting."
"Uncle Da, you must fully face up to the current situation. Feng Jiyuan has already shown his butcher knife. How much time and opportunity do we have?
If we don’t take the initiative to fight for chips, we will lose all the money..."
As Gu Ming talked endlessly, Meng Da's face also changed.
In fact, he also understands these principles, but he just can't be ruthless.
"Anyway, fight this time. If you take a step back, even if you fail, you can't leave..."
"Okay, believe me once!"
Meng Da gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
To put it bluntly, he has had enough of the bird breath that is hiding over the years.
...
Linjiang County Government.
An old man with wrinkles on his face and white beard walked to the door and bowed to the two yamen runners: "Two officials, the little people asked to see the county magistrate."
"Go! Go! Go!"
The two yamen runners shouted impatiently.
"Please make peace with the two officials. Xiaomin will send a letter to the county magistrate on the order of Ma Junwei."
"Ma Yuanwai? Master Ma from Majia Town?"
"Yes, yes, it's Mr. Ma's handwritten letter. The master told Xiaomin to hand it over to the county magistrate in person..."
While speaking, the old man took out the letter and Liangliang, and then he took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them with some heartache.
As the saying goes, the yamen is open south, don’t come in if you have any reason or money.
One of the yamen runners took the copper coins without showing any expression and smiled, "You are waiting here, I'll go and report it."
"Thank you, lord!"
Not long after, the yamen runner came out and raised his hand: "Follow me to see the adults."
The old man thanked again and followed the yamen runners to the inner courtyard.
"Small people pay homage to you!"
Wu Kun sat on the Grand Master's chair, drinking tea while asking casually: "Well, are you a servant of the Ma Mansion?"
"Yes, Mr. Ma told Xiaomin to bring a letter to the adults..."
“Support it!”
"yes!"
Wu Kun took the letter and opened it and looked surprised: "It's so good, I didn't expect it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man bowed again and said, "Sir, Mr. Ma has a few words for the little people to convey in person."
"Tell me quickly!"
"this……"
The old man stood up and glanced at the maid in the room.
"You two go outside and wait."
"Yes, Master!"
The two maids responded and turned around and walked out.
As soon as they left, the old man changed his momentum and clasped his fists and said, "Meng Da, the subordinate, met with him!"
Wu Kun was surprised: "Ah? You..."
"Sir, my subordinates are not my own, so I deliberately dressed up to avoid being recognized."
Upon hearing this, Wu Kun couldn't help but calm down: "Then is this letter also fake?"
"No, the letter was indeed written by Mr. Ma himself. The content was true. The case has been solved."
Wu Kun was a little confused when he said this.
"It's a good thing to solve the case. Why did you dress up and take such a hard time to meet me?"
Meng Da couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Sir, I don't want this, there is really something hidden..."
"Okay, don't hesitate. If you have anything, say it quickly."
"yes!"
So Meng Da talked about his experience in this trip to Majia Town in detail.
"Sir, now that Wu Xu has become a charred corpse, his subordinates cannot prove that Niu Erzong is murdering people.
That's fine, the key is...yes..."
Speaking of this, Meng Da seemed to be scruples, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Wu Kun was a little happy and said calmly: "Meng Da, I have said that if you have something to say, you will be happy."
"Then... I'll tell you!"
Meng Da was determined to be honest and looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Sir, you have been in office for almost three years. I believe you are also aware of the situation in Linjiang County..."
"Wind Captain, County Magistrate, Master Fan...Who hasn't secretly engaged in his own industry?"
"The gambling houses, brothels, money houses, restaurants and the like in the city are more or less controlled by them..."
"Niu Er was a street gangster back then, but because of his master, he transformed himself into the boss of two gambling houses.
In the past few years, I don’t know how many people have been harmed and how many good women have been bullied..."
"There are many bullies like Niu Er, but the layers of protection network make them worse and get away with the law. The people dare to be angry but dare not speak out..."
"Sir, you are a good official. But the people below are so frustrated that they can even bring shame to the reputation of the adult..."
"Bang!"
When he heard this, Wu Kun couldn't help but slapped the table, scared Meng Da and quickly said, "I'm talking quickly for a while, I hope you can forgive me."
"No, you talk about my heart every word... Meng Da, in my impression, you always like to follow the crowd, why did you suddenly feel a lot this time?"
Meng Da wiped his cold sweat and said embarrassedly: "I don't dare to deceive my elders. These are actually Gu Ming's ideas."
"Gu Ming?"
"Yes, he couldn't stand Niu Er's arrogance, and despite Fang Bantu's orders, he forcibly arrested Niu Er.
But it also attracted revenge on the other party.
Now, Gu Ming and I are in a very awkward and dangerous situation, so we have to come and ask for help from the lord.”
“Tu tu tu tu…”
Wu Kun did not reply, but lowered his head, frowned and tapped the desk.
Meng Da stood with his hands down, waiting for the results.
According to Gu Ming, this was a big bet.
Once you win the bet, you will have the capital to compete with Feng Jiyuan.
Lost the bet... Go away and fly high!
If you don’t leave me here, you will have a place to leave me!
After a while, Wu Kun finally looked up and glanced at Meng Da, and smiled and said, "Let's do this, it's a bit late today. I will escort Wu Xu's body back to the yamen at noon tomorrow, and report the results to Feng Chuanzhen."
"This... I obey the order!"
Meng Da left with anxiety.
...
“What’s the result?”
As soon as they met, Gu Ming asked urgently.
"It's hard to say..." Meng Da shook his head with a wry smile: "Mr. Wu said, let's go back to the yamen at noon tomorrow and report the results to the Wind Captain truthfully."
To be continued...
