Chapter 1133 Bad smell
Tong Erye's eyes flashed with a ruthless light, but he didn't say anything and just stood obediently.
Seeing that he was being honest, Team Leader Song snorted coldly and hurriedly said to the other officials: "Hurry up and untie Liu Wenqing and see if his head is injured?"
Hey. The government officials immediately untied the rope from Liu Wenqings body and checked his head. After finding that there was only a bruise and no bleeding, they finally felt relieved: Brother Song, its nothing serious.
But Liu Wenqing felt something was wrong, so he ran over and stared at Liu Wenqing. Seeing that his face was dull and his pupils were filled with death and fear, he frowned and said: "Team leader Song, something is not right with Liu Wenqing. He must have been drugged. We need to hire a doctor to take a look at him quickly."
Hey. The Yamen servant responded and left immediately.
Old Master Liu said to Team Leader Song: "Song, please send someone to the government office to ask for help. Something is not right with this Tong family. The torture chamber at home looks very scary. How can ordinary wealthy people get those things?" ? Just looking at the torture instruments in the torture room doesnt make him look like an honest person. Butler Tong dares to stop you, if he doesnt make the Tong family anxious, we will all stay here. "
Grandpa Liu Da has always been dissatisfied with the Tong family. First, the Tong family was originally like his family. After three generations of prosperity, it had begun to decline. But just thirty years ago, the Tong family suddenly became rich again. I don't know where the Tong family's money came from. In short, the Tong family has a lot of capital to do business, and they are not afraid of losing money.
Second, the Tong family went too far. After becoming prosperous again, they used various means to squeeze out other merchants in the city. The Liu family, because no one was an official and had no backers, was squeezed out until they were left with only two carriage shops and two small villages.
Wen Qing, the kid, was fed up with being squeezed by the Tong family, so he went to fawn over Tong San and work as a cow or horse for Tong San, hoping to keep the rest of the family's livelihood.
Because Liu Wenqing worked as a slave for the Tong family, Mr. Liu didn't talk to Liu Wenqing for several years.
But what Liu Wenqing did tonight made Mr. Liu change his mind a lot.
Wen Qing knelt in front of him and told him about Tong San's hobbies and the things that might happen to Liu Wenqing.
At that time, he beat me up, angrily scolded him for not speaking out earlier, and finally rushed to the Yamen to report the case, which led to what happened now.
"Xiaoqian, hurry back to the Yamen and call for help." After listening to Mr. Liu's words, Team Leader Song immediately asked a Yamen servant to go back to the Yamen to call for help.
"Hey." Xiaoqian's yamen hurriedly ran away, but before he could run out of the firewood shed yard, the yamen servant who had gone to ask for a doctor came back and said to Team Leader Song: "Brother Song, there is a problem with the Tong family. Please take care of the firewood shed." The courtyard door was locked and we were not allowed to go out. Butler Tong led the guard who had stopped us before to guard outside the woodshed courtyard. He said that a thief had entered the house and asked us to stay in this courtyard and not to run out randomly to avoid being caught in the fire. Or the thief will be injured."
Leader Song was stunned when he heard this: "What do the Tong family want to do? We are government servants, how dare they do this?!"
The young butler shouted outside the yard of the woodshed: "Song Squadron, there is a fire in the house. Please stay in the yard for a while and wait for the fire to be extinguished before coming out, so as not to be ignited by the fire."
Captain Song was so angry that he rushed to the door of the Chaifang Courtyard, shook the door that had been locked from the outside and said, "Are your Tong family crazy? You dare to lock them up even with the Yamen, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Fucheng Yamen?! "
Afraid, of course the Tong family is afraid.
But the Tong family is even more afraid that the government officials will discover the secrets of the Tong family. If the secret is discovered, they will not be punished by the government, but the family will be confiscated and exterminated.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Tong chose to imprison the government officials for half an hour, and then release Team Leader Song and others after the fire was completely put out and the warehouse underneath was covered up.
As for the imprisonment of the yamen servants, Mr. Tong will explain it clearly to the magistrate. At most, it is just a matter of pushing a few servants out to take the blame and being fined several thousand taels of silver. It is not a big deal. Although Mr. Tongs plan was good, tonights plan failed.
Liu Yamen and others were guarding the back door of Tong's house. After seeing the flames rising into the sky, they knew that something had happened to Tong's family. Liu Yamen immediately sent someone back to the government office to report to Magistrate Shi.
But Magistrate Shi didn't need them to report it at all. After seeing the fire, he immediately took all the government officials and rode towards here.
Mr. Shi was also dragged over by Magistrate Shi and said, "Mr. Liu has come to report to the official. Tong San is finished. Since you have come across Tong San's matter, you can no longer pretend not to know, lest you end up shielding Tong San in the future." In order to protect Sans reputation, I went to the Tong family with my father to testify and shut up the Tong familys mouth.
Zhifu Shi came to Tong's house with Mr. Shi, a large group of government servants, and Shen Tongpan.
The porter of the Tong family was told that no one was allowed to open the door until the fire was out, so when Magistrate Shi brought people to call the door, they pretended not to hear.
Magistrate Shi got angry and ordered the yamen servants to swing a long rope with hooks and hooks, climb over the wall and get in. He caught the two porters who were trembling with fear and beat them up: "Damn it, the magistrate came to call the door in person, but you dare not open it. Are you tired of living? Do you think your family is the emperor?"
Hey, dont tell me, Mr. Tong really feels that he is the local emperor of Linhe Prefecture after he gained great fortune and made the Tong family prosperous again, and after being praised by others in the city for decades.
"Stop it, stop it, ah!" The two concierges were beaten severely and screamed repeatedly. The government officials rushed to open the door for Zhifu Shi. After beating him for more than ten times, they stopped and opened the door of Tong's house. .
Zhifu Shi didnt even get off his horse and rushed in on horseback, knocking away several Tongjia nurses who were running towards him and asking who he was.
Magistrate Shi stared down at the injured nurse and said: "This office is handling the case, and anyone who dares to stop it will be shot to death!"
Zhifu Shi was about to explode with anger. He didn't expect the Tong family to be so bold and dare not let him in. But now was not the time to pursue this matter. Zhifu Shi pointed in the direction of the fire and said: "Go to the burning yard. This house is on fire." There's a fire, and all the men from the Tong family should be there to put out the fire."
"Yes." The government officials immediately started running and followed Magistrate Shi towards the burning yard.
Shen Tongpan ordered people to close the door, leaving five guards at home to guard the house, and did not allow the children's family to go out. It is true that there are not enough government servants in the government office, so we can only bring the nursing home at home.
After arranging things here, Shen Tongpan also rushed towards the burning yard.
But just as he arrived at the burning yard, he heard a loud bang, and the Tong family's warehouse was burned down.
The warehouse collapsed when it collapsed, but the problem was that the entire warehouse yard was filled with an unpleasant smell.
Zhifu Shi frowned: "What does this smell like?"
Shen Tongpan's expression changed and he turned to Magistrate Shi and said, "Sir, it's the smell of iron after the iron has been melted."
When ironware is melted by fire, it will produce a unique smell, which is somewhat unpleasant. Shen Tongxuan specializes in handling cases and often goes to the execution room to watch prisoners being executed. The red-hot irons in the torture chamber gave off this iron smell.
