Zhu Yunwen was a little sensitive to the 23rd and 24th years of Hongwu. The Yellow River captured the Huaihe River, the human trafficking list in Hangzhou, the underground training camp of the capital's death house, ancient and modern, the young master, the White Lotus Sect, Li Qi, so many people and things, all related to these two. related to the year.
Now that there is a corruption case in Huizhou Prefecture, the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu is actually a critical year.
Is this just a coincidence?
Zhu Yunwen felt that he was a little suspicious and asked, "Who was the prefect of Huizhou in the 24th year of Hongwu?"
"Yang Youwen."
Xia Yuanji said in a deep voice.
Zhu Yun narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time but could not remember this person.
Xia Yuanji explained: "Yang Youwen was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and later became the prefect of Suzhou. He was convicted of drunkenly discussing the Hu Weiyong case and later became the prefect of Huizhou."
Zhu Yunwen knew that the current magistrate of Huizhou was Chen Yanhui, not Yang Youwen, so he asked, "Where is this person?"
Xia Yuanji thought for a while and replied: "It should be the 30th year of Hongwu, when Yang Youwen became an official, and he should be retiring in Mengcheng now."
"Mengcheng? The Mengcheng in Fengyang Mansion?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xia Yuanji nodded.
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, and then said to Xia Yuanji and Yan Qiliang: "The current Huizhou magistrate Chen Yan has a good reputation as an official. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have spoken well of him. He should be an official, so let him investigate." That’s it.”
After Xia Yuanji and Yan Qiliang agreed, they bowed and left.
Zhu Yunwen flipped through the investigation documents sent by the Security Bureau about Huizhou summer tax raw silk. The contents were basically consistent with the investigation report of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The difference was that the Ministry of Household Affairs characterized the matter as a conspiracy of corruption by local officials, while the Security Bureau classified it as a conspiracy of corruption by local officials. The incident was classified as "a sign of rebellion."
Gu Sanjian entered the palace.
Zhu Yunwen handed over the investigation documents of the Huizhou Prefecture Security Bureau to Gu Sanjian and said: "The Huizhou Prefecture summer tax silk production case is more involved, and there are also a group of officials who have become officials during the Hongwu period. We are specially investigating the Huizhou Prefecture in the 24th year of Hongwu. Officials, especially this Yang Youwen. Try not to move them until you get conclusive evidence."
After Gu Sanshen took it, he replied with concern: "The Security Bureau of Huizhou Prefecture believes that the summer tax raw silk is converted into human silk silk, and most of it stays in the local area. There must be an export of profits, and Huizhou Prefecture is not far away from Hangzhou Prefecture. It’s not far away. If it’s just an unannounced visit, it will be effective..."
Zhu Yunwen naturally knew that it was only more than 400 miles from She County, Huizhou to Hangzhou City. The Huizhou government had strangely added a tax item. The extra silver must have gone somewhere. Was it eaten by the officials at the time, or was it given to someone or someone? A force?
Behind the human trafficking was Li Shan's eldest son Li Qi, but Li Qi was sent to Hangzhou, and the rest of the Li family had been cut off. It was impossible for him to have too much money, to have a population, to build a basement, and to be able to manage so much. People eat and drink every day.
All this requires money, and without money, no one can do anything for him.
Bailian teaches money?
Don't be ridiculous, the main body of the White Lotus Sect is the poor people. Whoever lives a prosperous life will join the White Lotus Sect. If you have money, you can marry more wives and buy more cows. Who cares whether your brothers are sworn brothers or not. …
Poor people have no money. Even if they have some money, they cannot hand it over to the Buddha Mother or Dharma Protector. Membership fees didn't work in ancient times, unlike in later generations where you had to pay membership fees to join any association.
Therefore, the White Lotus Sect cannot be Li Qi's consortium, so who is the remaining consortium?
Officials, businessmen.
There are only these two options. A businessman has money, but he will not deal with a has-been prince-in-law, unless he is an official, and only an official, most likely an official who has an old relationship with Li Shan, can take such a risk to export funds for him. .
Although Huizhou Prefecture is very close to Hangzhou, Hangzhou is the territory of Zhejiang and is directly under the Zhejiang Chief Envoy. Huizhou Prefecture is the territory of Southern Zhili and is directly under the capital. If something happens to Huizhou Mansion, no one will easily think of going to Hangzhou Mansion. Even if it is discovered one day, they can rely on this covert operation to hide it and keep Li Qi safe.

From this perspective, the officials of Huizhou Prefecture were very suspicious. But after all, in the past many years, some of these officials have died, and some have retreated to local areas and become squire forces, real local snakes.
If the Security Bureau only investigates secretly, it is indeed difficult to reach the depths. If you want to know the truth, you will need additional permissions:
Power of arrest and torture.
"Let's start with the details, and then arrest people after we have some evidence."
After Zhu Yunwen thought deeply, he gave the Security Bureau this right.
Perhaps this operation will wrongly accuse many people, and perhaps many people will suffer for it, but when it comes to the corruption and possible export of profits, it is impossible for the court not to investigate.
I would rather catch the wrong one than let this one clue go.
Gu Sanshen solemnly agreed.
Zhu Yunwen thought of Zhou Deng in Suzhou. This guy found clues in Huizhou Prefecture and ran to Suzhou to find his friends to write a letter. As a result, he was imprisoned.
"Has the investigation into Suzhou Zhou Deng's matter been clear?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Gu Sanjian nodded and replied: "This person's identity has been confirmed. He is indeed an accounting clerk of Huizhou Prefecture. He has not committed any crime."
Zhu Yunwen nodded, waved Gu Sanshen to leave, and then asked the chamberlain to send a message to the cabinet to promote Zhou Deng to the post of Huizhou Prefecture, responsible for clerical transactions.
In the middle city of the capital, next to the Yangshi Bridge.
Some vendors were squatting and watching the door of the big house open, they shouted loudly: "Selling mutton..."
"Selling pork, selling fish..."
"Candied haws on ice, make a candy man..."
"I sell ready-made clothes, good-quality ready-made clothes."
A government official was passing by the Yangshi Bridge. He looked at the vendors gathering beside the bridge and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "There are so many empty places in the south of the bridge, why do they all come to the north of the bridge?"
A middle-aged vendor was too lazy to pay attention to the government clerk and waved to people walking out of the door: "Here, here, the best ingredients."
After Chu Yun heard this, she quickly came over with Lin Yue.
"Miss Chu, Miss Lin, this girl should eat more meat to replenish her hair. Look at her hair, which is a little withered and yellow. If she eats my mutton for three months, she will be black and shiny."
The merchant patted his chest and assured.
"Cut it, mutton is too muttony, so let's eat fish. It just came from the Yangtze River today."
"Sister, fish, fish..."
Lin Yue pointed at a white fish, her eyes shining.
Chu Yun took out a stack of treasure notes, handed it to the merchant, and said, "Bring us ten fishes, and in addition, give us ten catties of mutton and ten catties of pork."
"Okay, ten fish..."
The vendors were very excited. It was comfortable to do business here. They could sell a lot in the morning. They could close their stalls and go home early today.
The yamen servant watched the merchant collect ten coins and then took out a bunch of things. He only found a few tens of coins in change. His eyes widened. Isn't this a scam? Ten gold coins are equivalent to ten taels of silver. One fish only costs three taels at most, and ten big fish are only three taels. The mutton and pork cannot be used for more than ten taels no matter how much you calculate.
"Profiteers, you two girls, they have defrauded you of your money. Today, I, Liu Ming, will seek justice for you!"
Liu Ming, the government official, has a strong sense of justice.
The vendor was not afraid at all after hearing this and looked at Liu Ming with a smile.
Chu Yun ignored Liu Ming at all, put the fish and meat in a big bamboo basket, lifted it up with one hand, and walked back with Lin Yue who wanted to buy candied haws.
Liu Ming swallowed and asked the fishmonger on the side: "How much did those fish weigh just now?"
"About a hundred or ten pounds..."
The fishmonger was obviously not surprised and looked at this scene calmly.
Liu Ming shook his head and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a woman carry more than a hundred kilograms of things in one hand? It must be fake!"
As a yamen servant of Yingtian Mansion, Liu Ming has
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I have been practicing martial arts since I was young and have some strength. I can lift a hundred or ten kilograms with one hand, but I can only lift it up. As for how long to lift it and how to put it down, I can't ask...
But that woman was so weak, how could she lift such a heavy thing so much easier than herself?
There is evil spirit here!
Liu Ming was about to find out what was going on, but before he reached the door, the door was closed directly.
Boom!
Liu Ming smashed the door with his fist, and Lin Yue asked inside: "Who is it?"
"Liu Ming, the yamen servant just now, please open the door."
"This is not the place for you, let's go."
Lin Yue replied.
Liu Ming was unwilling to give in and shouted: "I am Yingtian Yamen, and I have the responsibility of interrogation. Please open the door quickly."
Lin Yue looked at Chu Yun on the side. Chu Yun sighed softly and whispered, "Be gentle."
Lin Yue chuckled, then opened the door, looked at the government servant in front of her, and said, "I'll give you a warning first. This is the Second Security Bureau of the Ming Dynasty. If you dare to break in, we will not be responsible for any injuries."
"Security Service?"
Liu Ming shuddered, "Hey, darling, when did the Security Bureau have a woman?"
Lin Yue rolled her eyes at Liu Ming and corrected her seriously: "You heard wrong, it's the Second Security Bureau, not the Security Bureau."
"Uh...Second Security Bureau, what is it?"
Liu Ming didn't dare to provoke him. His name sounded like the second person in the Security Bureau.
Lin Yue tilted her head slightly, turned around and asked, "Sister Chu, what is our second security bureau?"
Chu Yun almost ducked, "What do you care about the situation? Just drive people away." Ask yourself, how do you know about the Second Security Bureau? If you want to know, ask Cong Pei'er.
"Sister, I don't know either, but our sister Cong said that men are not allowed to enter here. Are you a man?"
Lin Yue looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's face was very ugly. He looked down at himself and asked, "Isn't this obvious enough?"
Lin Yue thought about it carefully and said, "If you are a eunuch, you can still enter."
"eunuch?"
Liu Ming took a step back, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Whose house does this house belong to? Have you registered it with the government office..."
call out!
A dart was nailed to the door panel, with a red tassel hanging down.
Liu Ming looked in surprise, only to see a woman in green clothes approaching, her hand slightly placed on her waist. With a casual movement, a golden sound came out, and a shining nine-section whip gently rubbed against the stone slab.
"Second Security Bureau Headquarters, how can we allow you, a little fish and shrimp, to peek in? If you don't leave, I will break your legs."
Cong Pei'er was like a demon king, arrogantly threatening.
When Liu Ming saw this, he ran away, leaving behind a message: "You guys wait, I'll call someone..."
Cong Pei'er didn't care whether he shouted or not, she swung her whip directly, looked at Chu Yun and Lin Yue with cold eyes, and said: "Cook and eat for an hour. After an hour, continue to practice martial arts with me. If you want revenge, , at least I won’t tell you until I win.”
"yes……"
Chu Yun and Lin Yue did not dare to disobey.
Since being brought here by the Security Bureau, people from the Security Bureau have only come once, and only left the words "take orders from Cong Pei'er" before disappearing completely.
Cong Pei'er has a playful nature and does not know how to manage at all. In addition, her education level is not high. Seeing the power of the people in the Security Bureau, she did not ask for instructions and directly established the "Second Security Bureau" privately. She also pretended to be pitiful to the Queen. I got thousands of taels of silver from him.
Chu Yun, Lin Yue and others have no idea about money, and Cong Pei'er doesn't keep accounts. She spends her money as she pleases. Even the vendors know that there is a lot of money here and never bargain.
Cong Pei'er is very annoyed now. It's not an option to always let these people eat, sleep, and practice martial arts. No, it won't work. She has to learn from the Security Bureau and catch a few bad guys in order to impress Zhu Yunwen...
