Chapter 438 As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar inside and outside the store.



Now there was no need for Ye Qingchen to explain in detail, Guo Chongliang had already basically guessed what his men had done.

To be honest, if ordinary people want to do business in the capital, they will be exploited by officials.

Most people would choose to give some gifts or benefits to appease the situation.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the constables and officers would not push too hard and would rather take things slow and steady.

If Boss Ye is really as low-key as Ye Qingshan said, it is inevitable that he will be troubled by the officials.

However, these so-called unspoken rules cannot be brought to the table and discussed in detail.

So Guo Chongliang had no choice but to say: "Look at what has happened. It's like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don't recognize each other anymore!

"I'll call Captain Lu over right now. We'll have to get to the bottom of this matter and give your brother justice."

So there was a scene where the servants went to call Lu Changdong over.

Lu Changdong came over with a flustered heart. He entered the room and greeted Ye Qingshan and Guo Chongliang first, then bowed and said, "I wonder what you want me to do, sir?"

Guo Chongliang briefly told Lu Changdong what Ye Qingshan had said.

Lu Changdong immediately understood what was going on. No wonder the miser surnamed Liang suddenly came to give him a gift. So this was what was going on.

His son got into trouble and offended someone he shouldn't have, and when he came back he had the guts to complain to him and turn the tables on him.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to intervene, otherwise I would have been dragged into this by Liang.

The more Lu Changdong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he had already made up his mind to sacrifice Liang's father.

"Sir, I have heard about this matter and am currently conducting an internal investigation.

"We have already identified a suspect, but we haven't yet apprehended him, so we haven't had time to report this to you.

"I didn't expect that I would almost cause a misunderstanding between General Ye and you. This is truly due to my inconsiderateness. I apologize to you two gentlemen."

Guo Chongliang was delighted when he heard this. No matter whether what Lu Changdong said was true or false, at least he saved a lot of face in front of Ye Qingshan.

"So that's what happened. However, you haven't verified it yet, so it's understandable that you haven't reported it to me."

Ye Qingshan said, "Since we have already identified the suspect, why not bring him here right now so that we can interrogate him in front of Lord Guo and me."

Guo Chongliang's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up again, and he quickly looked at Lu Changdong.

But he found that Lu Changdong looked confident.

Guo Chongliang said quickly: "Didn't you hear what General Ye said? Hurry and bring the person over."

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Lu Changdong took the order and left after hearing Guo Chongliang's instructions.

Ye Qingshan said, "Captain Lu is quite good. He is indeed a capable officer of Lord Guo!"

"Yes!" Guo Chongliang replied embarrassedly.

He was actually still sweating in his heart until Lu Changdong quickly brought Constable Liang over.

"Sir, it's him!" Lu Changdong said, "Liang Mingshan accepted bribes through his son and went to Youji Dumpling Shop to frame the owner.

"Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Yulin Army who were eating in the restaurant and his son was detained for questioning.

"After he came back, instead of reflecting on his actions, he tried to confuse right and wrong and gave me gifts to get me to help him settle everything and rescue his son.

"I immediately felt something was amiss, so in order not to alert the enemy, I temporarily accepted the item and sent someone to secretly investigate the matter.

"Now the truth is out, the perpetrator has been caught red-handed, and the things and silver are all here. I hope you will make a wise decision."

As soon as he finished saying this, two people came over and grabbed Liang Mingshan's arms from behind, forcing him to bend over.

Liang Mingshan was completely dumbfounded.

When he was called over by Lu Changdong, he thought his son had been retrieved.

He followed her into the house happily, but ended up facing such a scene?

Liang Mingshan stiffened his neck and asked, "Brother Lu, what do you mean? That's not what you said just now. Didn't you ask me to come with you to see my son..."

Lu Changdong said with a straight face, "Of course, I lied to you to prevent you from escaping or suddenly attacking and hurting yourself."

Ye Qingshan said, "It's not all a lie. Come on, bring everyone up."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in, escorting Madam Lu, Lu Jincai and Liang Yaohui.

"This case should have been under the jurisdiction of the government office. Today, several people from the Yulin Army went too far in their efforts to protect my elder brother and his wife.

“I have brought the person here specifically to formally hand over this case to you. I hope that you, Lord Guo, will be magnanimous.

"Of course, I will definitely punish those guys from the Yulin Army according to the rules."

It was not until this time that Guo Chongliang finally understood the full purpose of Ye Qingshan's trip.

This combination of fighting and defense not only implicated the constables from the government office, but also cleverly distanced himself from the matter.

In the end, he even retreated to advance and handed the case back to Shuntian Prefecture, making it seem like he was considering Guo Chongliang.

As a result, Guo Chongliang had no way to submit a memorial to the emperor on the grounds that the Yulin Army had overstepped its bounds.

He even had to help cover up the situation and try not to let the incident cause any bigger waves because some of his own men were involved.

Thinking of this, Guo Chongliang couldn't help but clench his back teeth.

Who said Ye Qingshan is a reckless man who only knows how to fight?

Look at what he did after returning to Beijing. Which one of them could a brainless person do?

But no matter how angry he was inside, Guo Chongliang had to pretend to be flattered on the surface.
