"Qianhu!"
Su Lunding's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Time is up?"
"Back to Qianhu, we're here." Several Baihu around him were already eager to give it a try.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, salt merchant. This trip is worth the exhaustion.
Su Lunding's expression was complicated.
He is indeed here under orders. Can any of the Yangzhou salt merchants say that there is no problem? Even if they are all taken and thrown into prison, there is no problem. But can this be done?
The commander knew that the master had an order and acted according to Xiao Feng Xiuzuan's intention, but Xiao Feng Xiuzuan would not come to the surface, which was a bit tricky.
Su Lunding needs to weigh it. Once this storm sweeps across and eventually causes a big shock, will his shoulders be able to bear it?
It would be easy to say that this little Feng Xiuzhan was a caring person, but this guy refused to come to the stage.
No matter how he requested, the other party only said, "If you are not in his position, you will not seek political affairs. He is not the censor, but only a compiler of the Hanlin Academy, so he should not get involved in the investigation of the case."
You shouldn't have interfered. You handed over so many things at once. Everything is shocking. It's even more complete and detailed than what Long Jinwei has here. Does this mean that he is not in his position and does not seek his own government?
This is even more excessive than trying to do things one's way without being in one's position.
Thinking of this, Su Lunding felt uncomfortable in his heart. The seventeen-year-old young man could be so cunning and cunning, but he also arranged everything perfectly. I don't know how this guy was trained?
Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan did not come forward, and the censor from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate was kept in the dark. It was said that the visitor from the Capital Procuratorate was still on the way, but it seemed that he was not here for the salt merchants. The Yangzhou Prefecture did not come at all. Unable to intervene, the two Huaihe Rivers were transporting salt, so the Si Yamen side remained silent. This situation could not help but make people feel frightened.
All in all, this has almost become a chaotic situation, but it will ultimately fall on you to shoulder the responsibility.
Take a deep breath. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. A man can't get rich without windfall, and a horse can't fatten without night grass. If you want to earn credit, but don't want to take risks, how can such a good thing happen?
"Well, let's do it." Su Lunding stood up and adjusted his Feiyu suit, "Let's go!"
Almost within a very short period of time, there were rapid knocks on the door and footsteps of leather boots in several famous mansions in Yangzhou City.
Gaofu.
Gao Yue knew he had made a mistake when he heard the neat footsteps entering his courtyard.
He knew he had met someone who didn't play by the rules.
In other words, he underestimated his opponent's ruthless determination.
If it were a few days later, the Imperial Censor from the capital city would have arrived. At that time, no matter how rampant Long Jinwei was, no matter how solid the background of the Hanlin Academy editor was, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.
But now, the other party dares to move.
Seeing the flying fish suit and the narrow-edged knife, Gao Yue knew that the matter was difficult to resolve.
Long Jinwei is not scary, they are just a sword. Everything depends on the skill of the person who wields the sword. The question is, is Xiao Feng Xiuzuan qualified to instruct Long Jinwei to attack the Gao family?
The man in front of him was wearing a flying fish uniform, which was enough to show that his identity was not simple. Although Lieutenant Long was accustomed to hiding his whereabouts in Nanzhili, it was no secret to Gao Yue.
Only one of the Southern Zhili Dragon Guards can wear the imperial Feiyu suit.
The problem is that this person is by no means short-sighted. Doesn’t he know what he will face if he touches himself?
Or is it because of greed that he has lost his mind?
Gao Yue didn't believe that a Qianhu in Jinyi who was given the imperial gift of a flying fish uniform could be so imbecile.
That means that the other party has determined that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. Thinking of this, Gao Yue's heart becomes colder and colder.
"Su Qianhu?"
"Oh, Shopkeeper Gao." Seeing that the other party was still calm, Su Lunding was a little impressed, but he had to shoot the arrow.
"I wonder why Su Qianhu came to Gao's home late at night?" Gao Yue calmed down after his heart dropped.
Panicking is useless, and begging for mercy is even more futile, but staying calm may make the other party have some scruples and not do too much evil.
Su Lunding was more and more impressed by this man's calmness and rationality, and nodded: "If someone eats royal food, he naturally comes here with great ambition..."
Raising his hand slightly, a dragon captain behind him immediately handed a roll of jade-colored paper to Su Lunding's hand: "Now there is the Yangzhou merchant Gao family, who has received the emperor's favor..., he should have served the public and abided by the law,..., now It was found out that the Gao family had been in collusion with the salt lords Zhao Wenbo and Han Jinye for a long time,... and it was also found out that the Gao family was in cahoots with Lu Jinchuan and Bao Yakui, the salt heads of the Lianghuai Salt Fields,... and it was also found out that the Gao family was in cahoots with the traitorous official Si Yamen, the salt envoy of the Lianghuai Capital. The inside should be coordinated with the outside. Since the 27th year of Yuan Xi, the salt class has been owed 1.28 million taels of silver through false accounts and other methods for a long time..."
The melodious Beijing film was recited in the courtyard, and at this time Long Jinwei and his group had already filed in, entering the inner house in a familiar way. There were bursts of bottles and dishes breaking, women screaming and crying, and children crying at night. The old man's screams could be heard endlessly.
Regarding the previous accusation, although Gao Yue also changed his mind a little, he didn't care. There was no need to accuse him. Which salt merchant couldn't find such charges? But when he was directly accused of making false accounts and embezzling salt, Gao Yue couldn't help but fight with his two sides, and his face turned as white as paper: "My lord, Gao can bear the blame for all the crimes. But Gao would never dare to make false accounts and embezzle salt lessons..."
This is the root of the entire Gao clan. Once this crime is confirmed, I am afraid that the entire Gao clan will be killed.
Yes, Mr. Gao has a salt lesson, but there is an explanation for that. He has already negotiated this matter with the censor and the salt transport envoy in the Yamen of the Lianghuai Province Salt Envoy. Everyone It was tacitly known that I had stopped mentioning it a long time ago, so why bring it up again now?
"Really? Then we need to verify it slowly and find out what the specific situation is. Shopkeeper Gao can talk to Dali Temple in the future." Su Lunding slowly rolled up the jade-colored paper, and the smile on his lips became colder and colder.
Sure enough, Xiao Feng's calculations were accurate. As soon as the words about false accounts and misappropriation of salt came out, Gao, who was still a little unruly at first, immediately became panicked.
"But Master Qianhu,..."
"Shopkeeper Gao, I feel aggrieved tonight. I am also acting under orders. You also say hello to the people in your room. My brothers are all well-behaved and will not act arbitrarily. But please make it easier for everyone and don't make things difficult for me." Brothers,……"
Seeing this situation, Gao Yue also knew that the other party was being polite to him not because he was afraid of him, but because he was unwilling to break up completely. He also wanted to see if he had the ability to struggle. If he continued to care about him at this time, he would be forcing him. The other party was cruel.
Gao Yue quickly ordered several housekeepers who were forced by Long Jinwei to follow Long Jinwei to several courtyards to say hello. The voices in the entire compound gradually calmed down, and only various boxes and cabinets were moved around. and the sound of rummaging through objects.
Seeing that Gao Yue was about to speak again, Su Lunding waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Gao, you don't need to say anything to me. I don't know anything about me. I only know that I'm following orders. You don't need to explain anything to me..."
Gao Yue sighed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he heard the sound, he had already asked his two sons to leave through two secret passages. He didn't believe that there was no one in the world who couldn't control Feng.
But thinking about the jade-colored paper about making false accounts and misappropriating salt lessons made him uneasy.
Are they planning to uncover this kind of thing? Even at that time, Lin Ruhai and the man named Feng were related to their father-in-law. Even if Lin Ruhai was not going to die soon, who would dare to investigate this kind of thing?
This is not just my family, it involves the entire salt merchants. The court is not going to wipe out the entire group of salt merchants, right? That's really crazy.
*******
Along with the chaos in Yangzhou city, Feng Ziying was chatting and laughing happily in the Yamen.
"Sir, deputy envoy, it doesn't have to be like this. Since I dare to sit here, are you still afraid that I won't be able to shoulder this responsibility?"
"Sir Feng, you are a member of the Hanlin Academy's Li Zhongshu department, but why do you have to be related to Long Jinwei?" The Huaiyang army was prepared by Mo Dailu, the deputy envoy of the Huguang Inspectorate. Bei Guan, who has three battalions under his command, is considered the most powerful in Yangzhou City.
There is a Long Jinwei in Yangzhou Mansion to say hello, but it is not easy to use the Long Jinwei on the Bingbei Road side. Feng Ziying must come to the door in person, otherwise if Bingbei Road thinks it is a rebellion, it will cause a big problem. coming.
"Lord Mo, this matter is a long story, but I think it might be better if Lord Mo just ignores it." Feng Ziying smiled and winked, "It's all adult shit. At that time, even the next I haven’t even been born as an official yet, so even if Master Mo hears it, he still doesn’t know, don’t you think so?”
Mo Dailu's expression changed slightly. Things that happened over ten or twenty years ago involved salt merchants. A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. He nodded repeatedly, "Master Feng is right. He is right. Then when the time comes, , I haven’t even passed the examination yet, how can I know?”
"Haha, actually you and I don't know, so if Lieutenant Long wants to investigate, just wait for them to investigate. As for why Xiaguan comes here, it is mainly because he is afraid that Lord Mo will misunderstand. Since Lord Mo already knows, then Xiaguan will go back first. Yes." Feng Ziying stood up with a smile, "If Mr. Mo is still worried, you can ask someone to ask at the Yangzhou government office."
Mo Dailu chuckled, "Master Feng is joking, how can I not trust Master Feng? I have to thank Master Feng for reminding me."
"Haha, Mr. Mo, you might as well move around more in the future. Your Majesty may have to stay in Yangzhou for a while. If you have time, how about a trip to Slender West Lake?"
There was a look on Feng Ziying's face that every man could understand, and Mo Dailu was also very happy. This young Feng Xiuzhuan had rarely gone out since he came to Yangzhou. The merchants wanted to meet him but couldn't, but today's meeting was completely different from the rumors, "Haha, How can we let Mr. Feng clear out the guests? Mo is the landlord and thinks he is the host..."
