Chapter 742: The witness was found

Sure enough, not long after, he found out that two convoys carrying goods passed by here a few days ago. The leader of one of the teams was still spending a lot of money in the busiest brothel in the city.

Following the news, Li Wu came to the brothel and made a lot of comments under the reward of a lot of money.

"A man who was proud of his youth drank some horse urine and floated away. I don't know if he was still alive to go back."

Li Wu curled his lips contemptuously.

"The next step is to continue monitoring them or go to Yangzhou?"

his subordinates asked.

According to those brothel women, this team came from Yangzhou.

"Of course I'm going to Yangzhou and withdraw all the people I'm watching, so don't be alerted."

Li Wu stepped on his horse and headed straight for Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is well-connected, with smooth water and land, and merchants gathered. The annual tax revenue is among the best in the country. If the chief here is greedy, he will be rich in less than half a month.

But after Li Wu investigated for a few days, the merchants in Yangzhou were like iron barrels, without saying a word.

"It's a bad luck to get married. If I hadn't been fined a huge sum of money, I wouldn't have been able to pay for silk."

"That's right, it's really unfair to ruin your family because of this kind of thing."

...

Several passers-by walked by with regret on their faces. Li Wuxin moved and hurriedly grabbed the elbow of a man in purple robe: "Brother, I heard you say that getting married was a sudden disaster. What exactly happened?"

"You came from another place?"

The man in purple robe said alertly.

Li Wu tried to laugh harmlessly: "Yes, come and join relatives. I love being lively. I can't help but want to make some comments when I hear you. I listened to the foggy thing. Can you tell me one or two?"

"No, you heard it wrong."

However, the man in purple robe changed his face and pulled his companions away from Li Wu as if he was avoiding the plague.

Li Wu looked at their backs running away in panic and felt that there must be something inside. He hurriedly led people to find out that they had started a family.

He did not notice that after the men arrived at the corner, they did not walk far away, but circled around the alley several times and changed their appearance to the nearby restaurant, while Yuan Yi was waiting for them in the private room on the third floor.

The people in Yangzhou Prefecture seem to be particularly cautious about getting married. After several inquiries, Li Wu found the getting married and learned the inside story.

It turned out that Cheng Jia was originally a silk business, with a wealthy family background and the head of the family was quite talented in business. Normally, he could develop his family business from Yangzhou to the capital in less than ten years. Unfortunately, they finally negotiated a big business, but the next day they were forced by the prefect to collect a tax of 100,000 taels of silver.

If you don’t pay taxes, you will offend the prefect and your whole family will be imprisoned; if you pay taxes, you will have no money to get silk, and the liquidated damages alone will make them lose their entire family.

In a dilemma, the head of Cheng had to choose to save his family first.

I thought the matter was just like this, but who knew that the prefect was greedy and used tough methods to force them to hand over the best shops in Xishizhong. Now the head of the family, who was in a family, was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry.

"Sad!"

Li Wu patted Cheng Qi's youngest son Cheng Qi on the shoulder, "If I can avenge you, would you be willing to testify in court?"

"Wish! As long as they can be punished, I will die!"

Cheng Qi grabbed Li Wu excitedly, "Can you really catch all those people in one go?

My dad has all the evidence, and as long as you can do it, I will give it to you."

The head of Cheng's family was conspiring and left a lot of evidence when dealing with the prefect, and also collected physical evidence from other people who were also dissatisfied with blackmail.

They had to endure the opportunity to report the news before, but they had to endure it. Now that they have been forced to destroy their families, they have nothing to endure.

It takes no effort to get it!
