Chapter 618: Duke Xu knows, right?

At this moment, Cao Bantou already knew what Sun Shan was going to do.

Fearfully and hesitantly, he asked, "Mr. Sun, what are you doing?"

Sun Shan nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Since ancient times, it is natural to repay debts and it is also natural to pay for one's life."

Sun Shan didn't need to say much, Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadongjia had already determined what Sun Shan was about to do.

Zeng Dadong said anxiously: "Ashan, this, this is the county magistrate's brother-in-law, you, you might..."

Mr. Zeng didn't think that Sun Shan could win the fight. After all, Sun Shan was just a juren scholar and didn't hold any official position.

After all, County Magistrate Tang was still a county magistrate, an official appointed by the imperial court. How could a juren trip him up?

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle, County Magistrate Tang is the county magistrate, but Yang Xiong is not. He is just an ordinary citizen. Why should we be afraid of him?"

Sun Shan's words were powerful. In front of him, Yang Xiong was just an ordinary citizen and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Zeng Dadong said quickly: "Ashan, but he is the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Tang, not an ordinary person."

Sun Shan snorted coldly and said coldly: "Brother-in-law? Is he worthy? He is just the brother of a concubine. Humph, County Magistrate Tang's brother-in-law is in Yingtian Prefecture, not in Huangyang County."

Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadongjia looked at Sun Shan in surprise, not knowing what Sun Shan was saying.

Sun Shan held his head high and sat very straight, but his words were very contemptuous: "Tang County Magistrate, Tang Junyi, is just a county magistrate who was born in a Juren family. He has no one and no status in the court. What is there to be afraid of? As for Yang Xiong, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can Yang Xiong compare with the emperor? He is just a commoner. If he breaks the law, he should be brought to justice."

Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadongjia looked at each other and saw deeply the contempt in Sun Shan's eyes. Not to mention Yang Xiong, even County Magistrate Tang seemed very insignificant in front of him.

Is this a farmer from the countryside?

Who gave Sun Shan the confidence?

Sun Shan also knew that it was a bit risky to let Cao Bantou collect the evidence, so he said soothingly: "Cao Bantou, you just need to give me the evidence secretly. You don't need to take the lead in other matters, and I won't implicate you."

After saying that, he gave Gui Ge'er a look, and Gui Ge'er immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Captain Cao, this is the fee for doing the work. If it's not enough, put it in the account first and come back to us later."

After saying that, he handed over a silver note.

If you ask someone to do something for you, you must pay them.

When Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadongjia took a look, they were surprised to find that it was fifty taels.

This, this is too generous.

Fifty taels of silver could buy the small house that Sun Shan lives in now. It was very generous of him to spend a whole house on it.

Cao Bantou was in a dilemma as to whether to take it or not, and he just stood there for a while.

Collecting evidence is risky, but it is not risky either.

The reason for taking the risk was that he was afraid of being found out and retaliated against by Magistrate Tang.

The reason for not taking risks is that this so-called brother-in-law of the county magistrate has a lot of crimes that can be easily collected, and it is very easy to do it secretly.

These 50 taels were Cao Ban’s wages for the first few years.

Zeng Dadong's heart was beating fast. Oh, did my in-laws really get rich? How come they are so rich?

He took out 50 taels without blinking an eye. This, this was too subversive to his three views.

When did his in-laws become so rich? How come he, as the in-laws, didn’t know about it?

It was the relative of Zeng Dadong who spoke first, asking doubtfully, "Ashan, you, you don't have to be so generous. These 50 taels are not easy for your family to earn."

Mr. Zeng still believed that his in-laws were closer to him than his eldest sister, because Sun Shan was a juren and was Xiatou's future support.

As for my eldest sister and brother-in-law, they do not have enough power and financial resources.

Mr. Zeng still thinks it is better to be a little snobbish.

So I chose to speak for Sun Shan.

Sun Shan winked at Gui Ge'er again.

Gui Geer understood immediately, stuffed the money into Cao Bantou's hand, and said with a smile: "Cao Bantou, this money is for you to manage the relationship and collect the evidence. Take it first. As long as the matter is done, our scholar will reward you handsomely."

Sun Shan nodded and smiled: "Squad Leader Cao, thank you for your help."

Sun Shan believed that collecting evidence would be a piece of cake for Cao Bantou.

He is the captain of the criminal investigation team, and this is his job.

Sun Shan not only wanted to prove that Yang Xiong killed Yang Qingbei, but also wanted to prove other bad things he did.

Kill him one thing after another, make him commit a sin beyond reproach, beat him to death and never let him stand up again.

It would be most appropriate to ask Cao Bantou for help in collecting evidence of other crimes.

Sun Shan was not afraid that what he said today would be known by others, including by County Magistrate Tang.

Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadong's family are relatives, Zeng Dadong's family and the Sun family are relatives, and their interests are the same.

Sun Shan didn't believe that Cao Bantou would act as a traitor and tip off the outsider County Magistrate Tang.

If he really did this, even if Sun Shan couldn't deal with Magistrate Tang, could he not deal with a small magistrate like Cao?

Cao Bantou is not a fool and knows what to do to benefit himself.

Of course it doesn’t matter if Cao Bantou chooses not to help, just pretend that what happened today never happened.

Cao Bantou still asked hesitantly: "Mr. Sun, can you tell me how sure you are about this matter?"

Sun Shan didn't even think twice and said without hesitation, "100 percent."

Cao Bantou and Zeng Dadongjia were stunned and looked at Sun Shan in surprise.

I think Mr. Sun is being too arrogant. How dare he say such things? Who is supporting him from behind?

Sun Shan said calmly, "Captain Cao, let me tell you the truth. County Magistrate Tang is the boss in Huangyang County, but outside of Huangyang County, he is nothing. You think he is powerful, but that is because you have been living in Huangyang County. Once you see the outside world, you will find that County Magistrate Tang is not powerful at all."

Cao Bantou was extremely shocked. He could never imagine what Sun Shan said.

He was the head of a squad, so not only Magistrate Tang, but even his immediate superior was very powerful to him.

Why couldn't he understand what Mr. Sun said?

Mr. Zeng was also secretly shocked. It seemed that his in-laws' son had become so powerful?

But it doesn't look like it. What's going on?

Who gives a scholar the confidence to not take the county magistrate seriously?

Mr. Zeng really wanted to ask, did Sun Shan know some important person, so he thought that County Magistrate Tang was just an ant?

Sun Shan clasped his hands, thanked him and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Cao."

Cao Bantou was still thinking about whether to agree or not.

How come Sun Shan helped him to make the final decision?

Mr. Zeng looked at Mr. Cao, put away the banknotes and stuffed them into his brother-in-law's pocket.

He said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, be careful when you work and don't let anyone find out. The success or failure of this matter depends on you."

Suddenly, Cao Bantou felt as if several huge mountains were pressing down on him and he couldn't breathe.

He just came to Sun's house, why did he have to bear so many important responsibilities?

Zeng Dadong led the confused Cao Bantou out of the Sun family’s house.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Ashan, tell me the truth, who is your backer? Is he a higher official than Magistrate Tang?"

Could it be the He family? This is very possible. Sun Shan's fiancée is a daughter of the He family, and her great-grandfather is a high-ranking official in the capital.

Or maybe it was Sun Shan’s cousin, who was said to be also an official in the capital.

Sun Shan asked casually, "Does Lord Xu know?"

He gave the boss and Cao Bantou a look that said "you understand" and then stopped talking and sent them out the door.
