"This guy is responsible for the river project, and he doesn't even have a shadow of a stone. He dares to report six or seven thousand taels of silver when he pays the bill." Shen Mo said:

"I'll give him a day's waterboard first, and you will be responsible for interrogating it." Shen Mo said to Jiang Yuxin, "I'll ask you for something."

"In addition to his own guilt, I also want you to take all the corruption and evidence of all the personnel in the entire state yamen's corruption and abuse of power in your hands."

At this time, Jiang Yuxin heard this and immediately nodded thoughtfully.

"When necessary, you can arrest three or five more officials, and don't touch those senior officials who do not have the authority to appoint or make a case." "These are good for one person, and the people who share the spoils are often a large number of people." Shen Mo smiled and said, "What I want is that you let them tie each other up and take all the evidence of each of them malfeasance and crime in your hands.

”

"Also, this matter must be kept confidential from beginning to end. Do not contact the outside world and do not let other officials touch the news." "I understand," at this time, Miss Jiang immediately nodded: "Once one day when the gentleman wants to deal with them, I will be able to take out the evidence of each of them anytime and anywhere. But before this, you don't want him to

We'll blow up the camp now."

"That's right! So smart!" When Shen Mo heard this, he immediately praised Miss Jiang with a smile.

After that, Shen Mo asked Miss Jiang, when did Mr. Zhao send someone to invite him?

Miss Jiang immediately found a post from the table and handed it to him.

Shen Mo looked at it and sure enough, the post from the Pavilion Master's Mansion said that he would be invited to the Pavilion Master's house for a banquet after Shen Shi today.

"It's today? That's fine!" Shen Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this post tonight!

In this way, he can solve this matter tonight without having to travel back and forth between Tongzhou City and Chongming Island.

"Also," Miss Jiang saw that Shen Mo had finished reading the post, and then smiled and handed over another letter.

Shen Mo saw a smile on Miss Jiang's face, which seemed to be a very happy thing, so he immediately opened the letter and took a look.

When his eyes glanced at the letter, he saw him immediately, and he smiled and raised his eyebrows!

...

On the same day, Shen Mo took Mo Datong to the Ge Lao Mansion for a banquet. To be honest, when he thought of this Ge Lao, he felt very tired of it. But now Shen Mo's preparations have not been completed, and it has not yet reached the level of breaking up with the forces of the Ge Lao, Zhao Ge Lao, and officially starting a fight. So during this period, Shen Mo,

I still have to perfunctorily treat him.

After arriving at the Pavilion Master's Mansion, the attitude of the concierge this time was completely different from before. It was obvious that he had received a notice from the Pavilion Master. As soon as Shen Mo arrived, someone immediately led him to walk into the palace.

Shen Mo walked through the spacious hall along the way, and after entering the deep mansion, he finally came to a quiet garden.

When he followed the path among the flowers to brush the willows, he came to a quiet pavilion. A servant led him to sit down beside the banquet in the pavilion. Then someone brought tea and asked him to wait here.

After another cup of tea, Shen Mo saw a group of people slowly walking towards this side from a distance.

Among these people, the one in the center is Mr. Zhao.

The old man with his beard and hair was white, his face was covered with pieces of broad beans, and his black old man spots were covered with folds hanging downwards.

Although his steps were slow, they were still quite steady. Now a man was bent respectfully and raised his arms to let him move forward slowly on his arm.

The person who supported Mr. Zhao Ge was the general manager Shen Mo had met that day, Zhao Tianliang, who was a black-hearted ghost by the people.

This guy is now very respectful in front of Master Zhao, and he can't tell the arrogance he used to be.

On the other side of Mr. Zhao, there was a middle-aged man in his 30s.

I saw this guy's body was thick, his face was turning outward, and the two nasolabial folds on his mouth were particularly prominent. He was wearing the official uniform of a sixth-rank military officer, and probably he was the terrifying ghost Lu Lutang.

It is said that this guy is Zhao Ge Lao's son-in-law and the general manager of the local military commander in Tongzhou. He also has hundreds of soldiers under his command. All the things that require troops to be sent to do in Zhao Ge Lao's family are done by this guy.

Theoretically, Lu Lutang is also a subordinate of Shen Mo. However, this guy lives in his own barracks all year round. With the power of his father-in-law Zhao Ge Lao, he has never come to meet Shen Mo, the Shangguan.

Today, Shen Mo knew when he saw him that this guy looked like an arrogant person who used force to intimidate others and fight and kill.

Seeing the Pavilion Master coming, Shen Mo also stood up to greet him.

I saw that under the long white eyebrows, the white eyes were yellow and dirty. However, when the eyes were staring at him, they were still quite powerful.

Seeing Shen Mo bow to him slightly, the old master walked up to him and said with a smile to Shen Mo: "Master Shen is young and promising. He must have been quite busy since he took office. Today I finally saw you!"

Although these words were full of smiles in Mr. Zhao's mouth, Shen Mo knew clearly in his heart that the implication of this old guy was that he was not satisfied!

A small prefectural official like him has been in office for so long and has not come to visit him for so long. Obviously, he doesn’t take him seriously!

If Mr. Zhao had changed to another magistrate after these words, he would have apologized immediately and trepidatedly.

But in that case, the tone of this banquet became a lesson for Mr. Zhao as if he was taught a lesson by his grandson.

At this moment, Shen Mo smiled faintly and said, "The master of the cabinet is leisurely, how dare the subordinates disturb themselves?"

"I am summoned to you today. I wonder what instructions did the Pavilion Master give to the lower officials?"

When Shen Mo said this, Mr. Zhao was still calm and his eyes flashed for a moment. He was obviously not mentally prepared for Shen Mo's reaction.

However, Zhao Tianliang and Lu Lutao next to him suddenly became sharper!
Chapter completed!
