Chapter 305 Collapse
When Aunt Mei heard this, she couldn't help but feel shocked, but her face still had a smile. She put the little jade Buddha in the brocade box and pushed it in front of Tan Zong. "I heard that the young master and the second master Bi have some small grudges. Since this is the second master Bi's thing, how dare I accept it?"
"But Boss Mei can't accept what others can't accept." Tan Zong smiled slightly and pushed the brocade box back to Aunt Mei.[]
"Oh? What does Mr. Huang mean? I don't understand." Aunt Mei glanced at Jinhe and looked at Tan Zong in disguise.
Tan Zong stared into Aunt Mei's eyes and said word by word, "Because this is Boss Mei's thing, it's just a return to the original owner."
"Young Master Huang is joking. I have only met Mr. Bi Er several times and have never given him anything." Aunt Mei smiled and shook her head, secretly guessing Tan Zong's intention to do so.
"That's right, it's already twenty years ago, and Boss Mei will inevitably forget something." Tan Zong nodded and looked at Aunt Mei with a smile, "But Boss Mei won't forget who his son is, right?"
"Hehe... Mr. Huang is really good at joking. I haven't married yet, where did I get my son?" Aunt Mei couldn't help but laugh at Tan Zong's words. The flowers trembled. She had been through the world for a long time, so she would not be forced to show off by Tan Zong's words.
"So, Mr. Bi is your illegitimate son." Tan Zong also laughed, "A illegitimate son who has been abandoned by his biological mother for twenty years!"
"Mr. Huang, I don't know why you are making such a joke. It's not a big deal. But if Lord Bi finds out, I will not be able to afford to be guilty." Aunt Mei put away her laughter and looked at Tan Zong helplessly. She reacted calmly at this time. It turned out that Tan Zong was suspected that Bi Xi was related to her, so she took out Bi Shijie to suppress Tan Zong.
"I am worthy of being Jiangnan Huofeng. Not only is she both outstanding in color and art, but she also has such outstanding acting skills. When it comes to this, Boss Mei can still calm down. I really admire her, admire her." Tan Zong looked at Aunt Mei, patted her palms a few times, and smiled.
"Young Master Huang, I really don't understand what you are talking about." Aunt Mei looked at Tan Zong in confusion when she heard this, her eyes were full of confusion, wanting to see what Tan Zong knew.
"Boss Mei, do you remember your reaction when you saw this little jade Buddha last night?" Tan Zong knew in his heart that Aunt Mei was not the one who surrendered after a few words, so he was not in a hurry. He looked at her with a smile, preparing to defeat Aunt Mei's psychological defense little by little.
"I was curious at the time and thought it was Manluo's begging me, but I didn't expect it to be obtained by the young master Bi Er." Aunt Mei smiled at Tan Zong with a calm expression, but she became alert in her heart. It seemed that Tan Zong was deliberately testing herself last night.
"When I first saw this little jade Buddha, was Boss Mei very worried about Bi Xijiu? As far as I know, the second young master of Bi has never left me." Tan Zong hugged his chest with his hands and looked at her with a smile, "Do you think I was really drunk last night?"
"Young Master Huang, just say whatever you have. You can go around like this and make me confused." Aunt Mei was still unmoved and looked at Tan Zong with a wry smile, looking innocent. Anyway, Tan Zong was just suspicious and there was no evidence at all.
"It doesn't matter if you are confused, don't be confused." Tan Zong stood up, opened the window, looked at Zheng Hu and others outside the yard, and smiled at Aunt Mei, "Boss Mei, don't you think this young master has brought a little more people this time?"
"Young Master Huang, what do you mean?" Aunt Mei looked at Zheng Hu and others in the yard, stood up, and looked at Tan Zong with a pretentious attitude. Could it be that Tan Zong wanted to take him away for questioning?
"Since you have nothing to do with Master Bi, then I might as well tell you that when I came, I had sent someone to ambush near Master Bi's residence. Just wait for my order, they would rush in and capture him and then throw him into the prison." Tan Zong closed the window, walked back to the table and sat down again, looking at Aunt Mei with a smile, "You should have heard of the methods of the Supervision Office. Master Bi is white and tender, and it is hard to say how many days it can last."
"Supervision Office! Mr. Huang is from the Supervision Office?" A look of panic flashed in Aunt Mei's eyes. She never expected that Tan Zong was from the Supervision Office, so she calmed down and looked at Tan Zong with a puzzled look, "But why do you tell me about this? What does this have to do with me?"
"Because I want to give you a chance, a chance to change Bixi's fate." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said slowly, "You should be very clear. Although Bizhi is a fifth-rank official in the Yangzhou Salt Tax Department, for the Supervision Office, if you really want to arrest it, you will arrest it."
"What happened to Lord Bi?" Aunt Mei continued to pretend to be confused when she heard this, but was thinking about how to deal with Tan Zong. It seemed that Tan Zong was not good at this time.
"If it were somewhere else, I might have to take a little trouble, but the salt tax department has so many dirty things. I can just find one to determine the crime of the season." Tan Zong picked up the wine glass on the table and took a leisurely sip, looked up at Aunt Mei, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. "Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. There is a saying that goes, 'If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry about it'."
"You... why do you treat Lord Bi like this!" Aunt Mei deliberately pretended to be shocked, looked at Tan Zong in shock, and acted as if she was completely unlucky.
"Boss Mei should know more about why I do this." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said casually.
"Mr. Huang, although I don't know why I thought of you and Lord Bi, I can tell you with certainty that you are wrong. Lord Bi is from Hangzhou and came to Yangzhou ten years ago. I have nothing to do with Lord Bi." Aunt Mei looked helpless and smiled bitterly to explain to Tan Zong that she would fight to the end no matter what.
"Yes, you have nothing to do with Bi Shijie." Tan Zong stared at Aunt Mei for a while and nodded. Just as Aunt Mei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the sentence behind him was like a sharp sword, piercing into her heart, causing her to froze. "What about Wu Zhongen? You won't have forgotten this name!"
"Who...Who is Wu Zhongen?" After a moment, Aunt Mei came back from her huge shock and looked at Tan Zong in discomfort. Due to her nervousness, she couldn't help but stutter.
For twenty years, no one has ever mentioned this name in Aunt Mei's ear. As Tan Zong said, she has almost forgotten the name.
Now, when Tan Zongming mentioned it, her heart suddenly became confused.
Wu Zhongen and Bi Xi are the two biggest secrets hidden in Aunt Mei’s heart. Perhaps some people know that Wu Zhongen was the name before Bi Shijie, or some people know that she had given birth to a child, but she could connect Bi Shijie with herself. In addition to her and Bi Shijie, even Bi Shijie’s wife Liu Shuzhen didn’t know the relationship.
Liu Shuzhen has always thought that Bixi was the adopted child in Bishi and treated him as his own.
Tan Zong not only knew the relationship between her and Bi Shijie, but also knew that Bi Xi was her son, so how could he not panic Aunt Mei, who was not prepared at all.
"Boss Mei, everyone is smart. Do you want me to continue to be silly here?" Tan Zong shrugged his shoulders, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and looked at Aunt Mei with a smile, "Where will go, I will believe that Boss Mei will make the right choice."
Aunt Mei stared at Tan Zong for a while, let out a long sigh, sat down opposite Tan Zong, and looked at him with a serious expression, "How did Mr. Huang know about me?"
"You don't need to know this." Tan Zong felt relieved when he heard this and said quietly. Aunt Mei's ability to ask this sentence shows that her psychological defense line has collapsed and the rest is much easier to do.
"What do you want me to do?" Aunt Mei looked at Tan Zong and asked.
"I should know where the food you transported out in the name of official salt two months ago went, and who was the owner of the goods?" Tan Zong straightened the point and made his own request.
"To be honest, I don't know who the owner is, nor where they were transported. I am only responsible for the transfer of the batch of grain." Aunt Mei shook her head, looking gloomy.
"I must know about it from Bi Shijie, you can ask him." Tan Zong saw that Aunt Mei didn't seem to be lying, and smiled slightly and said.
"He couldn't tell me." After a long time, Aunt Mei shook her head and smiled bitterly, "For the ideal in his heart, he is willing to pay any price, including me and Xiju."
"What ideal?" Tan Zong suddenly felt a little strange when he heard this. What could make Bi Chijie ruthlessly abandon his wife and children?
"He didn't say this in detail. Since he came back from the capital for the exam twenty years ago, his whole body has changed." Aunt Mei shook her head again and said lightly, "I don't know what happened to him in the capital, but I can feel the passionate flame in his heart."
Twenty years ago! When he heard these four words, Tan Zong couldn't help but frowned slightly. He suddenly remembered something. Didn't the deposed prince of the previous dynasty be deposed during that period? Isn't this just a coincidence?
According to Aunt Mei, one day twenty years ago, Wu Zhongen disguised himself and came to Yangzhou from the capital to find Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei thought he was going to take him away, but he advised Aunt Mei to stay in Yangzhou to find out the news because he had a big event that needed Aunt Mei to help him complete.
In this way, out of love for Wu Zhongen, Aunt Mei became the "Jiangnan Fire Phoenix" in Piaoxiangyuan, and gradually established her own network system in Yangzhou City. Wu Zhongen took away Bi Xijiu, who was just a month old, and changed her name to Bi Shiqi, and had a brand new identity and started a new life.
"Don't worry, young master, I know what to do." Aunt Mei smiled helplessly, "Young master wait a moment, I will take the list now."
"Boss Mei, I hope you can cherish this opportunity." Tan Zong nodded after hearing this and looked at Aunt Mei meaningfully.
"I understand." It's clear that Tan Zong was warning herself not to play tricks. Aunt Mei smiled bitterly and looked at Tan Zong, got up and walked out.
Tan Zong immediately stood up, opened the window, stood in front of the window and watched Aunt Mei leave the yard. His brows were slightly frowned. I guess Aunt Mei would not do anything irrational!
Just in case, Tan Zong winked at Zheng Hu. Zheng Hu nodded and quietly took out a sound arrow from his sleeve. If Aunt Mei wanted to attack Tan Zong, then Zheng Hu would shoot the arrow into the sky.
At that time, Tao Yong, who was drinking in a restaurant just one street from Piaoxiangyuan, would lead a large number of people to support him, and Niu Ada's people would also appear.
Tan Zong did not want Zheng Hu to shoot this arrow. Once this arrow was shot out, not only would Piaoxiangyuan turn the world upside down and blood flow into a river, but his identity would also be exposed.
