Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Want to catch all the teachers and students of An Xin
However, smuggling salt is a serious crime, and anyone involved in it will either die or be injured.
By then, Zhu Shijing's goods were found to be smuggled salt by the people sent by County Magistrate Zhang, and he was caught red-handed, with no way to defend himself.
Since County Magistrate Zhang and Master Kun could frame the Zhu family, how could they not also throw the dirty water on them, saying that the illegal salt was sold by them and their students in collaboration.
It is not surprising that the managers and assistants who escorted tea for the Zhu family gave false testimony under the threats and inducements of County Magistrate Zhang and the Kun family in order to save their lives.
The profits from selling illegal salt were too high, and the imperial court had to ban it repeatedly, hate it deeply, and punish it severely.
The Zhu family's property was confiscated and they were sent to jail, but they could not escape.
Even if their families spent money to bail those implicated, people like Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai would most likely be stripped of their titles and fame, and would never have the chance to take the imperial examinations again.
An Xin raised the corner of his mouth and murmured, "That's cruel enough."
"What do you mean, cousin, that's cruel enough?" An Rui, who had been confined at home to study by his uncle An, asked after hearing that someone was coming to embarrass An Xin.
An Xin thought of raising his hand to touch his little cousin's head, but found that the boy was taller than him, so he gave up decisively.
He coughed softly, "Nothing."
An Rui looked at his cousin and asked, "Just now I heard someone came to quarrel with you?"
An Xin: "Let's go."
An Rui: "Why did you leave so soon?"
An Xin raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "If they don't leave, you are going to keep them for dinner."
An Rui glanced at his cousin's teasing eyes and touched his nose, "I'm going back. If dad finds me out, I'll get beaten again."
Looking at my little cousin's depressed expression, I knew that he had become autistic because Uncle An had been too strict with him these days.
"Should I go and persuade my second uncle to release this kid?!" An Xin thought for a moment, "I'd better not. I don't know if County Magistrate Zhang and the Kun family have any other conspiracies. It's safer for my little cousin to stay at home."
An Xin ordered Da Zhuang to harness the carriage and drive to Zhu's house.
It just so happened that Zhu Shijing, Li Ziyu, and Liu Boxing, who had come to visit Jiang Zhou, were all there. When they walked to the door, they were stunned when they saw An Xin's carriage.
Liu Boxing: "Why is the little headmaster here?"
"Let's go in and talk." An Xin lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped down.
As the host, Zhu Shijing led everyone into the vermilion gate.
The Zhu family is one of the most prominent families in Lin'an County, so the house they live in is naturally not small, with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water, and its design has the charm of a Jiangnan house.
An Xin went to visit Mrs. Zhu first.
Mrs. Zhu was obviously very happy that An Xin could come to her house, and she quickly ordered someone to go out and buy ingredients so that she could keep her at her house for dinner.
Li Ziyu and Zhu Shijing saw that An Xin came here for something, so after visiting Mrs. Zhu, they took her to the Zhu family study.
An Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw several people walk into the study and sit down. They all looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Why, you knew I had something to say?"
Zhu Shijing sighed: "No one comes to the temple for no reason."
"Am I that kind of person?" Facing the affirmative looks of several people, An Xin touched his nose and said, "Okay, I am that kind of person."
After teasing for a few times, An Xin paused and then said seriously: "Don't ask me how I know this. You can believe or not believe what I say next."
What An Xin was talking about is called willfulness.
"Go ahead." Li Ziyu looked at her deeply, but his eyes were full of trust.
An Xin looked at Zhu Shijing and Liu Boxing, and they were also waiting seriously for him to say the next words.
Narcissistically thinking, she is such a good person, look, everyone trusts her so much.
An Xin looked at Zhu Shijing and asked, "Are you going to bring back some tea from the south to sell before and after the New Year?"
Zhu Shijing: "How do you know?"
Although it was no secret that his family sold tea, people like An Xin who did not do business would not know that his family would ship back a batch of tea recently unless there were some special circumstances.
"Didn't I tell you just now? Don't ask me why I know all this." An Xin didn't want to lie to them or be perfunctory with them.
Zhu Shijing: “…” So he was waiting for us here.
Several people couldn't help but laugh. Their headmaster didn't want to say where he got the news, so they didn't ask.
Anyway, the big devil doesn't want to say it, and there is nothing they can do.
Li Ziyu and his cousin Zhu Shijing looked at each other and said casually, "In a few days, a batch of tea will be shipped back from Jiangnan. But it's not from my aunt's family. I've also invested in this batch of tea."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
An Xin choked. Well, now there's no need for County Magistrate Zhang and the Kun family to plot, as there's one more person implicated in this falsely accused case of hiding salt from tea leaves.
Next, An Xin framed Zhang Xiancheng and the Kun family, intending to hide the contraband salt they were transporting back for sale in the wooden boxes of tea that the Zhu family was transporting back on the same cargo ship.
Zhu Shijing and others were stunned.
Li Ziyu said in a moderate voice, "Once the cargo ship docks, County Magistrate Zhang will send police officers to search the ship and catch the suspects red-handed. By then, the Zhu family and I, the cargo owner, will not be able to explain ourselves even if we have a hundred mouths."
An Xin curled his lips and smiled lightly, mockingly saying, "More than that, they are afraid that if one of you brothers passes the imperial examination and becomes capable, you will come back to retaliate against them. This time, they are going to catch us all in one fell swoop."
Zhu Shijing's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Kun family has always been mean, dirty, vicious and cruel.
When she found out that the man my aunt was going to marry was the second son of Chen Bo's family, she even tried to interfere and wanted to send her daughter to my uncle as a concubine."
An Xin was dumbfounded. Thinking of the two mother and daughter with their hair covered in gold jewelry, he asked, "The daughter that the Kun family is going to send as a concubine, could she be the current wife of the county magistrate?"
No way, no way.
Zhu Shijing's eyes were full of sarcasm, "The Kun family only has one legitimate daughter. If it's not her, it would be that one."
The corner of An Xin's mouth twitched. Fortunately, that woman who looked down on others did not enter the mansion, otherwise, with her weak house fighting skills, he said that they could survive for one episode, but he just extended the time for them.
Next, several people began to discuss in the study how to get them out of this matter and make the Kun family and County Magistrate Zhang suffer the consequences of their own actions.
An Xin suggested, "How about I hire a boat to go over there and secretly put the contraband salt planted in the tea boxes back into the Kun family's cargo."
Zhu Shijing and Liu Boxing looked at An Xin excitedly and said, "Big Devil, you are so loyal!"
Thinking of the two people rushing over, An Xin, with a proud look on her face, picked up the ruler on the desk and ruthlessly pushed them back.
"Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."
Li Ziyu's stern face curled up the corners of his lips, but when An Xin turned to look at him, his face became expressionless again, and he said lightly: "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me."
An Xin, Zhu Shijing and Liu Boxing looked at him with starry eyes.
“……”My brother is so awesome.
There may be a lot of typos these days, but Sansan is still typing away and he can hardly open his eyes.
Please wait for a few days for me to correct the typos that have been found.
