Chapter 610: T-Zi Juan kills with one hit, boiling soup over slow fire
“Thousand households!”
Su Lunding's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Time is up?"
“Back to Qianhu, we’re here.” Several hundreds of households around him were already eager to try.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, salt merchant, this trip is worth it even if you are exhausted.
Su Lunding’s face was complicated.
He is indeed here under orders. Which one of the Yangzhou salt merchants can say that there is no problem? Even if they are all captured and thrown into prison, there is no problem. But can this be done?
The commander knew that the lord had an order and acted according to Xiao Feng Xiuzuan's intention, but Xiao Feng Xiuzuan would not come to the forefront, which was a bit tricky.
Su Lunding needs to consider whether he can bear it on his shoulders once this storm sweeps across and eventually causes a big shock.
It would be easy to say that Xiao Feng Xiuzhan was a considerate person, but this guy refused to come to the stage.
No matter how I requested, the other party only said that he was not in his position and would not pursue his political affairs. He was not a censor, but only a editor of the Hanlin Academy, so he should not get involved in the investigation.
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. Doesn't this mean that he is not in his position and not doing his job?
This is even more excessive than seeking to do one's own affairs 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 he 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 miscalculation from the moment he heard the sound of neat footsteps walking into his courtyard.
He knew that he had met a person who did not play by the rules.
In other words, I underestimated the ruthlessness and determination of my opponent.
If it were a few days later, the Imperial Censor who was traveling south 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 is wearing a flying fish suit, which shows that his identity is not simple. Although Long Jinwei is accustomed to hiding his whereabouts in Nanzhili, it is not a secret to Gao Yue.
Only one of the Longjin Lieutenants in Nanzhili can wear the Feiyu uniform given by the emperor.
The problem is that this person is by no means short-sighted. Doesn’t he know what he will face if he takes action?
Or was it because of greed that he lost his mind?
Gao Yue didn't believe that a Qianhu in Jinyi who was given the imperial gift of a flying fish suit was so imbecile.
“Su Qianhu?”
"Oh, Mr. Gao." Seeing that the other party was still calm, Su Lunding was somewhat impressed, but he had to fire the arrow as it was on the string.
"I wonder why Su Qianhu came to Gao's home late at night?" Gao Yue's heart dropped and he calmed down.
Panic is nothing, and begging for mercy is even more futile, but maintaining a calmness may still make the other party have a little scruple, so as not to do 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..."
He raised his hand slightly, and 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, who has received the emperor's favor in this life..., he should have obeyed the law and abided by the law,..., now he is investigating Gao The Gao family has been colluding with the salt lords Zhao Wenbo and Han Jinye for a long time,... and it was also found that the Gao family was in collusion with Lu Jinchuan and Bao Yakui, the salt heads of the Lianghuai Salt Fields,... and it was also found that the Gao family was in cahoots with the traitors in the Yamen, the salt envoys of the Lianghuaidu, and they cooperated with each other from the Yuan Dynasty. Since the twenty-seventh year of Xi's reign, he has long owed the Salt Class 1,280,000 taels of silver through false accounts and other methods..."
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.
Although Gao Yue changed his color a little about the previous accusation, he didn't care about it. There was no need to blame him if he wanted to. Which salt merchant couldn't find such a crime on him? But when he directly testified against him for falsely filing accounts and embezzling the salt tax, Gao Yue couldn't help but quarreling with each other, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper: "My lord, Gao can bear the blame for any crime, 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 slowly and find out what the specific situation is. Shopkeeper Gao can go and 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.
As expected, 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 Lord 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 so-and-so. You don't know anything about so-and-so. You only know that you are following orders. You don't need to explain anything to so-and-so..."
Gao Yue sighed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he heard the noise, 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 the thought of the jade-colored paper about making false accounts and misappropriating the salt lesson made him uneasy.
Are they planning to uncover this kind of thing? Even at that time, Lin Ruhai and the man surnamed Feng were related to their father-in-law. Even if Lin Ruhai was not long dead, who would dare to investigate this kind of thing?
This is not just my own 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 the city of Yangzhou, soldiers were deployed in the yamen, but Feng Ziying was chatting and laughing.
“Your Excellency, Deputy Envoy, this is not necessary. Since I dare to sit here, are you still afraid that I will not 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 about old rotten millet. At that time, even I haven’t even been born yet, so Lord Mo wouldn’t know even if he heard it, 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."
“Hehe, Mr. Mo, you might as well move around more in the future. I 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 but couldn't, but today's meeting was completely different from the rumors, "Haha, How can Master Feng be allowed to clear out guests? Mo is a landlord and thinks he is the host..."
