Chapter 782 784. Processing
Gu Wenheng also received the news at the same time, but he didn't expect that the first family to jump out would be the Wu family.
Jin Qianqian, “This Wu Kun was able to open a restaurant to provoke us before, no wonder his brother had the courage to target us.
These noble families have been here for many years, and the government has always been courteous to them, which has made them forget their proper manners. "
As for the Wu family, Jin Qianqian only had some impression of the ladies in charge of the inner house.
As a prominent family, I don't know how many times it has been divided, but there are several wives in charge of the main and side branches.
Gu Wenheng had long been unhappy with these aristocratic families. In such a poor province, a few aristocratic families still took on all the livelihoods, making it even more difficult for the common people to survive.
If someone touches their interests, these companies will unite to run a bank, resulting in no one daring to mess with them in Yi Province.
Even if they are officials here, people in the government try to avoid them as much as possible.
"This is an opportunity. It depends on how Sir Liang chooses."
Jin Qianqian was not so optimistic. "Governor Liang has been here for many years. It seems that the officials in this officialdom have a tacit understanding with several noble families. They seem to have agreed not to interfere with each other.
Speaking out about this matter actually has little impact on Governor Liang. Will he be willing to stand up for us?"
Even if these people spread rumors through people around his wife, it would be said that they were being used, and it really didn't involve much of a relationship.
Gu Wenheng, “I have discussed this issue with him before, and this is also a very helpless thing.
These families control the economic lifeline of Yi Province, and many industries are directly or indirectly controlled by them.
It would be difficult to unite and resist.
Besides, these people are smart and know the government's bottom line. They stay within that point and don't touch it. Even if they want to make trouble, they can't find an excuse.
Now, Wu Hao is the first to provoke. If they don’t want to break this balance, I guess several families will definitely abandon Wu Hao.
But the initiative is no longer in their hands. Since they have already started fighting and they are from aristocratic families, they can no longer break up.
No matter what, this time, they should show some attitude, and this is the best time for the officials to turn the game around."
Jin Qianqian, "Hearing what you said, it seems that I have moved their cheese."
Several businesses under her control are now thriving, and Gu Wenheng has also brought some vitality to the local people.
With such a big change, it’s no wonder that some people in the aristocratic families can’t sit still.
Gu Wenheng, “Everything here is too old, it’s time to move on.
Even if you don't touch this cheese, someone will reach for it sooner or later.
I thought they would wait for a while, but I didn’t expect the time would come so soon.”
Gu Wenheng is waiting now. Governor Liang should send someone to invite him soon. After all, the other party was targeting them in the first place.
Sure enough, not long after the two of them started talking, Xu Dawang came to inform them that the steward from the Governor's Office had come to invite them.
Regarding the cause and effect of the matter, Liangshi asked his subordinates to hand over the results of the interrogation to Gu Wenheng for his personal review.
Gu Wenheng didn't expect that the person targeting them this time was an old acquaintance.
Liang Shi, "Master Gu, do you have a grudge against this Lord Bai?"
Liangshi was observing with an inquiring look, and was secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Gu Wenheng sighed, "I didn't expect it to be him. To be honest, Sir Liang..."
Gu Wenheng briefly recounted the story of how he met Bai Jinglie and the various connections that followed.
"I don't know why he is targeting us this time," Gu Wenheng naturally would not talk about maritime trade at this moment. Liangshi has his own information channels, and maybe he knows it very well.
"Since they have already confessed their guilt, I think we should tie them up, send them to the capital and hand them over to Lord Bai for handling." Liangshi felt that this matter was a bit hot to handle.
He and Lord Bai had never met each other, so naturally there was no enmity between them.
If we really want to dig deeper, it was Gu Wenheng who caused the trouble. If he dealt with Lord Bai's men, then this feud might really be formed.
How could Gu Wenheng not understand what he meant? It was not so easy to just leave after causing trouble.
"In that case, Sir Liang, please hand these two people over to me. The gossip they spread in the city has had some impact on my wife and I. I need them to clarify the cause and effect for us in front of the people here."
Liangshi thought that Gu Wenheng would refute or be dissatisfied, but he didn't expect him to lay the matter out in the open.
If this matter gets out, Lord Bai's reputation will be ruined. Gu Wenheng is trying to make enemies.
If he wasn't involved in this matter, Liangshi wouldn't care how they fought, but he was also involved. He was the one who arrested the person and interrogated him. He really didn't want to get involved in this mess.
"The rumors outside have died down now. If we bring them up again..."
Liangshi looked at Gu Wenheng and said, "We shouldn't make a fuss about this matter anymore, otherwise it will not be good for your wife's business.
Now that everyone has finally forgotten about it, let it fade from everyone's sight.
As for these two people, I can leave them to you to deal with."
If Gu Wenheng could take over, Liangshi would be more relaxed. "But no matter what, the other party is also a marquis. Sir Gu should think twice before acting."
If the relationship becomes strained by then, Gu Wenheng will not be able to get away with it thanks to the connections of the Marquis' Mansion in Beijing.
Gu Wenheng thanked Liangshi for his kindness, but decided to take the person away himself.
Liang Shi thought about it again and again, and decided to let his subordinates handle it. "In this way, this matter is settled. As for the remaining woman Dong, I can also hand her indenture contract to Lord Gu for handling."
Gu Wenheng couldn't possibly take the person over, so he said sincerely, "Sir Liang, although that woman is a bit talkative, she is innocent if we investigate further.
I guess after this lesson, she won't dare to talk too much anymore.
She is Madam Liang's person, so Madam Liang can just give her more warnings. I still have to go back and think about how to deal with it next, so I won't bother you any more here."
Liangshi was just expressing an attitude. To be honest, it would be best if his people were not taken away.
By the time Gu Wenheng took the person away, Madam Liang couldn't wait to rush in.
"He, where are your rules? This is not allowed for a woman like you to come here." Liang Shi didn't expect Liang He to be so bold that she actually rushed to the front yard.
This is where he works every day. Except for his close followers, no one else is allowed to enter.
"Master, I have heard about this matter, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Dong.
These are all the shady tricks used by Gu Wenheng and his enemies. Mrs. Dong and I are both victims. Before, Censor Gu righteously asked us to give him an explanation. Now, shouldn't we turn around and ask for an explanation?
We were implicated for no reason, but he just took us away so easily?"
