    What bad things the Zheng family did was quickly found out by the clean government officials.

    It's not that the clean government officials are too strong, but that the Zheng family has no barriers, and they can ask passers-by if they catch them!

    Of course, it was considered a cover-up, but he didn't show up himself.  The bad things in engineering are done by the shopkeepers of the trading company; the bad things in bullying the market are done by gangsters.

    Even if the higher-ups track it down, throw out a few scapegoats and it will be settled.

    The Xu family is the first, and the Zheng family is the second.

    That anonymous letter was sent by Xu Huai.  He reported anonymously to various yamen in Quzhou, but there was no response, so he reported to Xiaohong.

    If Xiaohong doesn't care, write a letter to Zhejiang Sansi.

    If the third division doesn't care, it's donating money to the school and getting a "Confucian businessman" badge.

    Hold the waist card and meet the emperor!

    "Master, there is a stranger asking to see you, saying that he is talking about a big deal." The butler came in to announce, and handed over a call letter sealed with wax.

    Xu Huai took apart the sealant on the greeting card, and there was a brand inside.

    The front reads: Inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, No. 057.

    ? On the back it reads: Dedicated to clean government, return to order to take it back.  Those who dare to forge or use it privately will be punished as treason.

    Imperial envoy?

    Or Bai Wuchang?

    Xu Huai hurriedly covered his waist card, and said happily: "Please hurry up, there is a big business coming!"

    Honest officials, of course, did not know that it was Xu Huai who reported it.  But they have already found out that the Xu family and the Zheng family have had a lot of trouble in the past two years, which seems to be caused by a business.

    Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou entered hand in hand, the former dressed as a merchant and the latter as a follower.

    Xu Huai had asked his servant to bring tea a long time ago, and there were no other people waiting in the room at the moment.  When he saw the two people coming in, he immediately knelt down on both knees, held his waist card and said, "Caomin Xu Huai, welcome the two angels!"

    When Dai Wenmeng retracted his waist card, he took advantage of the situation to help him up: "Mr. Xu is too polite. According to His Majesty's rules, people don't have to kneel when they see officials."

    Xu Huai smiled and said, "Two angels, please take your seat."

    Dai Wenmeng sat down to drink tea, as if chatting: "Mr. Meng, don't be afraid, we are here to understand something."

    Plum and Zhuyou took out a small notebook and began to grind ink.

    Xu Huai smiled even more happily: "Master Angel, please tell me."

    Dai Wenmeng skimmed the tea with a bowl lid and said, "Do you have a construction company?"

    "Yes." Xu Huai replied.

    Dai Wenmeng said again: "Your business company has competed with the Zheng family for contracting Quzhou government buildings and river embankments?"

    Xu Huai knelt down again with lightning speed, crying in a low voice: "I beg the Lord Angel to be the master, contract those projects, the Zheng family colluded with the government, how can the grassroots compete with the government? There is also the ticket office business,  The Zheng family colluded with the government and smeared my Xu family for tax evasion. Caomin admitted that he did evade taxes the first time. However, the Caomin had accepted the punishment and changed his mind, but the Zheng family wanted to kill them all. The second investigation showed that the Caomin did not evade taxes.  For this move, they were forced to close the ticket office in the city for more than three months. When it reopened after three months, most of the business was robbed!"

    Private bank, private bank, this kind of business has not been completely banned.

    However, both the bank and the bank have to pay a deposit to Datong Bank, and there is also a cap on lending interest.

    ? Private banks are mainly engaged in money and food exchange, deposit and loan business. Due to the existence of Datong Bank, the number of private banks across the country is decreasing day by day.

    Private bank accounts are getting more and more prosperous!

    In particular, the Longyou Merchant Gang is mostly engaged in long-distance trafficking, and the circulation of goods and capital is very slow, often requiring a large amount of capital advances.  In the case of insufficient funds, it has to borrow from outsiders.

    As for Datong Bank's loans, the review process is very strict, and the review time is at least half a month.

    Therefore, the merchants of the Longyou Merchant Gang prefer to borrow from private banks.

    ?They have their own set of rules, peers in the same industry, each relying on their own beliefs, no written evidence, and the flow of water follows the market.

    ? In particular, the lack of written documents has caused a lot of headaches for the government, and it has become very difficult to determine the tax amount.  But for merchants, there are basically no problems, because the ticket number business is purely based on word-of-mouth, and once the word-of-mouth is broken, it will all be over.

    Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou looked at each other, and they both felt that there must be something rewarding today.

    The Zheng family relied on the government's illegal operations, resulting in the Xu family bank being ordered to rectify for three months.  For merchants, this is already an endless hatred.

    Dai Wenmeng asked: "Why did the Zheng family collude with the government to harm you? Even if it's robbing business, they wouldn't do it so badly. It's easy to be caught."

    ?In the disaster, I spent a lot of money with the sufferer's family.  They also spent money to ask someone to take the blame, and then bought two levels of judges in Tongqu Prefecture and Xi'an County. In the end, only the person who committed the crime was sentenced to exile in Taiwan.  "

    Plum and Zhuyou sighed: "Murder case. Do you know the name and address of the victim? We will investigate later."

    Xu Huai must have inquired secretly, and immediately said: "The sufferer is Shu Shouyi, who lives in Pinglefang, nicknamed Shu Da. He is a drunk and likes to drink. The two angels went to Pinglefang, and they knew where he lived. He died.  After that, his wife, Fan, has remarried and moved to Zhupeng Town, Longyou County. The fifth family in the east of the town is a blacksmith."

    Dai Wenmeng laughed and said: "You can find out clearly. Is there any murder case in Zheng's family?"

    Xu Huai said: "It's also heard, I don't know if it's true or not. There was a guy named Sun in the Zheng family who went out to run away and never returned. The Zheng family claimed that this guy Sun was killed by local soldiers in Guizhou. But  The guy who went with him came back, but someone faintly told the truth. He said that the guy Sun had dirty hands and feet, swallowed more than a dozen taels of silver, and was beaten to death by Zheng Hongyi's nephew."

    Mei Zhuyou asked: "What is the name of Zheng Hongyi's nephew? Where does he live? What is the name of Mr. Sun? Where does he live?"

    Xu Huai quickly told the details again.

    Before and after, a total of six murders were mentioned.
