"Li Ruolian, arrange for someone to pass my instructions to Lu Xiangsheng!"
Chongzhen threw aside the information about the Jin Yiwei in his hand: "Tell Lu Xiangsheng that you don't need to worry about the political affairs of the students for now, but find me a small notebook to write it down, and we will settle the accounts together when I arrive in Qufu.
Find out if the scholars and scholars who entered Qufu have any interest transactions with the Confucius family, and write them down for me.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be arrested. Isn’t it busy now? Let these scholars who are not diligent in their limbs and indifferent to grain go to labor reform!
If you don't want to, just throw them into prison and give them a bowl of gruel a day, as long as they don't starve to death!
Pay close attention to the movements of the Kong family to prevent them from jumping over the wall! "
"I will make arrangements soon!"
After Li Ruolian responded, he whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yang Shaoan and others in Suzhou City that the two cargoes have been embezzled by Cao San and others together with Suzhou officials."
"Swallowed?"
Chongzhen, who was still a little angry, suddenly became more energetic after hearing the news: "How many warrior battalions and brocade guards are there in Suzhou City?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are two thousand veterans from the Warrior Battalion this time. Five hundred people have entered Suzhou City and are hiding around the mansion. Another fifteen hundred people are hiding everywhere within twenty miles outside Suzhou City. Within half an hour, We can assemble!”
"Your Majesty, there are more than a thousand Jin Yiwei at various places inside and outside Suzhou City. They can assemble within half an hour!"
"Then what are you waiting for? When we go back to Suzhou, the fish has taken the bait and we have to close the Internet cafe!"
Chongzhen chuckled, stood up, and walked outside.
One day later, the dust-laden people entered the mansion in Suzhou City. After half a day's rest, the Jin Yiwei secretly captured Cao San and others.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Why are you arresting me?"
"Do you know who I am? Release me immediately, or I will sink you to the bottom of the river to feed the fish!"
In the lobby, Cao San struggled and roared.
The two ships of cargo were swallowed up the day before yesterday, and they received thousands of taels of silver.
With money, I couldn't afford a luxury, so I went to Jinfenglou, the best brothel in Suzhou, and hired an oiran very arrogantly.
Last night, he was chatting about life with the oiran from Jinfeng Tower. When he was getting passionate, several men in black broke into the room, knocked out the oiran, and put him directly into a sack.
When he woke up, he was already in the lobby. The most terrifying thing was that because of the fright last night, he couldn't feel the presence of his second brother now.
"Cao San, we meet again!"
Hearing the voice, Cao San was stunned at first, but as Yang Shaoan took off his hat, Cao San exclaimed: "How could it be you?"
After exclaiming, Cao San's face darkened, and he was beating a drum in his heart.
Although he is uneducated and has no skills, he also has a 'family education' and is 'influenced' by his family, so he also knows a little bit about the world.
He and the Suzhou government ate the other party's goods, but the other party tied him here instead of escaping. This kind of person is either a desperado or a person with confidence. It is obvious that he now belongs to the latter.
"Who are you? I'm just an errand boy. The goods have been eaten by those people. It's impossible to recover them.
Let me go, and I can guarantee that when you come to Suzhou again in the future, I will make all arrangements for you to get in and out of the dock. I can also help you contact buyers! "
"Haha, how many trips do you have to arrange for goods worth two to thirty thousand taels of silver?
An ordinary merchant ship only costs a dozen or twenty taels of silver per trip. Calculating it as fifty taels, it would take six hundred trips. One trip a month would take fifty years. Can you live to be fifty years? "
Yang Shaoan sneered: "Let you go, so you can go find your second uncle Cao Zhen, the leader of the Suzhou Hall of the Cao Gang?"
"The fifth of the ten gang rules of the Cao Gang is: You are not allowed to climb into the ashes and fall into the cage. If we spread this matter in Suzhou City, do you think your second uncle will stab you in three ways?"
"Who are you? How come you know the rules of the Cao Gang so well!"
Cao San's face was full of fear.
The so-called "three knives and six holes" means using a sharp blade to pierce one's leg vertically three times to form six holes. After that, all the crimes committed are offset.
He was not alone in embezzling merchants' property, but as long as he didn't make too big a deal, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But when things get serious, gang rules are not just a decoration.
"I'll give you a way to survive. Write down all the evidence of your collusion with the Suzhou government. Let's just let this matter go. Otherwise..."
"Are you from the government?"
Before Yang Shaoan finished speaking, Cao San screamed: "Where in the government are you from? The Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Works?"
"Jinyiwei!"
"It's impossible. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs will resell the goods in the warehouse. How could Jinyiwei have these two shipments of goods? How could you be so obedient to us and so weak?"
"If you don't do this, how can you take the bait? If you don't take the bait, how can you be the breakthrough point?"
Li Ruolian, who had been silent until now, spoke, but just this sentence made Cao San feel shocked and his eyes filled with fear.
He guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
He now knew why these people knew his true identity so well.
Being targeted by Jin Yiwei, the Cao Gang was finished, and so was Suzhou's officialdom.
"Should you take the initiative to confess, or should we use the means of imprisonment to summon you?"
"You can also commit suicide. We can also arrest other people secretly. Your entire family will be implicated by then. You can try it!"
"I'll explain, I'll explain... wu wu..."
Cao San hurriedly expressed his position and cried bitterly. As a man of the world, he still knew some of Jin Yiwei's methods.
Li Ruolian waved his hand, and two Jinyi guards took Cao San to the next room. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones were ready.
In less than half an hour, two Jinyi guards entered the lobby with more than ten pages of confessions.
"Asshole!"
After reading the confession, Chongzhen slammed the table, his eyes full of anger.
After Li Ruolian took the confession, he and Cao Bianjiao gathered around and read it again. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
They knew that the Cao Gang and the Boat Gang colluded with the government, wealthy merchants and gentry, and did many dirty things, but they did not expect that they would be so heartless.
This confession contains shocking information such as killing people and selling goods, forcing girls into prostitution, seizing women, abducting children, gangsters, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc.
This is just something that little Luo Luo knows. Isn't the collusion between the helmsman, hall master and the government above even more shocking?
"Li Ruolian, tell me your plan!"
"Your Majesty, I thought..."
"I still have something to explain, and I want to make meritorious service!"
Before Li Ruolian finished speaking, Cao San, who was imprisoned next door, shouted. Li Ruolian glanced at Chongzhen and then waved.
Cao San, who was brought to the lobby, lay on the ground and said intermittently: "Sir, Sir, I, I suddenly remembered something, it is definitely a huge secret, hidden in Suzhou City..."
Before Cao San finished speaking, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hospital. After a few breaths, a guard in plain clothes entered the lobby.
"Your Majesty, Guilin Six Hundred Miles is urgent!"
