Chapter 1134 Iron Ore
But the smell of iron that permeated Tong's house was too strong. It couldn't be the smell that comes from a dozen soldering irons, but the smell that comes from a lot of burned iron.
Iron stinks? Magistrate Shi is not an idiot, but a capable and intelligent person. He immediately understood what he said. He turned to look at Mr. Tong, pointed at him and said, Arrest Tong Changxing!
He then pointed at the guards and said, "No one in the Tong family can resist, otherwise they will be punished as treason and will be killed without mercy!"
Iron is a regulated military resource in Dachu. Anyone who buys iron must show their household registration and register at the Yamen. And there is a certain number, non-officials are not allowed to own more than one hundred kilograms of iron.
The smell of iron in Tong's house is so strong. I wonder how many kilograms of iron were burned? If the number exceeds the number stipulated by the court, it can be punished as treason.
When Master Tong saw that Magistrate Shi had discovered the secret of his family, his face was as pale as frost, but he was a good man and quickly calmed down after a brief panic. He asked Magistrate Shi with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Magistrate, what are you saying? What do you mean? Why do you want to arrest me? What did I do wrong? "
Seeing that he was still pretending, Magistrate Shi laughed angrily, pointed at him and said, "You protected Tong San and wanted to murder Liu Wenqing first. Now you have a large number of iron tools hidden in your home. You have violated the Dachu criminal law. You dare to say that you don't know about yourself." What did you do wrong? Tong Changxing, Tong Changxing, you are worthy of being the tyrant of Linhe Prefecture. You can still remain calm in times like this, you are considered a figure."
Master Tong is indeed a figure in Linhe Prefecture. His family has no official status, and before Tong San, there was no one in the family with fame. However, Tong Changxing was able to make the Tong family become a status equal to that of the official and aristocratic families.
The reason is not only that Tong Changxing is smart and capable of doing business, but also because the Tong family is rich.
I dont know where the Tong familys money comes from. Anyway, for decades, everyone has reached a consensus that the Tong family is not short of money. It is a family that can buy backers with money and cannot be easily offended.
But now it seems that the source of the Tong family's money is very doubtful. If there is no shady business, how can they become rich by just doing some restaurants, cloth shops, wine shops, **** agencies, and farming?
"Tong Changxing, don't make any more sophistry. You will be detained honestly. If you are innocent, the government will let you go, but it's too early to cry out for injustice!" Magistrate Shi winked at Squad Leader Huang. The squad leader immediately led people to tie up Mr. Tong.
The matter between Tong San and Liu Wenqing was a scandal. Mr. Shi had already told it to Magistrate Shi. Magistrate Shi had no intention of taking care of it in the first place. After Mr. Liu reported it to the official overnight, Magistrate Shi was afraid that this matter would affect his coming to Beijing. Officer, this is what I accepted.
Now that he has discovered the secret of the Tong family and has made great achievements, he will not care about the affairs of Liu Wenqing and Tong San anymore. He will only suppress it and not let this scandal overshadow his discovery of the Tong family's private possession of iron tools. Son.
After all, storytelling is popular in Linhe Prefecture, and the people are more gossipy than the people in He'an Prefecture, and they like to hear some weird and **** affairs.
Xiao Sui was a little disappointed, but he felt that Liu Wenqing was quite pitiful. Even if he didn't make a fuss, he would still be able to live a good life in the future. Once exposed, Liu Wenqing would have to change his name and live in a country where no one else knew him.
Gu Jinan looked at his disappointed look and smiled. Sure enough, he was still a young man who loved gossip: "The soldiers from the Fucheng garrison camp should have entered the city. There will be a lot of martial law in the city. You can sleep on the soft couch and leave tomorrow. , so as not to run into the soldiers of the camp."
"Hey." Xiao Sui, who was also familiar with Gu Jinan, happily took off his shoes and lay down on the soft couch, soundly sleeping.
Gu Jinan waited all night, but was too sleepy and went back to the back room to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the entire Linhe Prefecture was in a state of chaos, and everyone was talking about the Tong family's hidden ironware.
I heard that the government army and the government officials found iron tools from four basements at Tongs house last night. Those iron tools were all weapons, and there were even machetes!
"What? There are even scimitars. Could it be that the Tong family sold the iron weapons to the Da Rong people? Oh my God, this is a serious crime against the nine clans. There are not enough relatives in the Tong family to die!"
The Rong army captured Longshan Mansion and the news about the looting of Longshan Mansion had just come back, and something happened to the Tong family. If the emperor was furious, all the six relatives of the Tong family would be in ruins.
Well, the relatives of the Tong family are also pitiful to have such relatives. The people in the city expressed sympathy for the relatives of the Tong family, and then talked about another rumor.
I heard that the Tong family became rich again thirty years ago because Mr. Tong discovered an iron mine and made money by selling iron tools privately, and he became prosperous again.
