Chapter 612: T-Zi Juan takes advantage of the chaos
After casually browsing through the various books and letters that he found, Su Lunding waved his hand expressionlessly, immediately stuffed them into a vermilion box, and hid them aside.
"Sir, the two villas have been sealed off, and three silver cellars have been found..." the confidant whispered.
"Don't touch the money." Su Lunding raised the corner of his mouth, "It's not valuable, and it attracts people's attention..."
My dear friend understood the idea and nodded repeatedly.
“Also, be careful with Nanzhen Fusi and don’t go too far.” Su Lunding sighed.
He also knew that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan should have had an explanation with the Nanzhen Fusi person, and the negotiation should have been settled, but when something like this happened, it was always like a thorn in the back, which made people uncomfortable.
It’s just that he also knows that such things are not up to him.
How many people dream of opening up salt merchants? But in the past few decades, when have salt merchants been engaged in Jiangnan? At least in the fifteenth year of Emperor Tianping and the forty-second year of Emperor Yuanxi, which totaled fifty-seven years, the court had never touched a salt merchant.
To trace the story of salt merchants, we have to go back to the reign of Emperor Guangyuan.
With such a big matter, it’s no wonder that the commanders and colleagues were also cautious. They even sent people from Nanzhen Fusi, just for fear of causing trouble.
But why is Xiao Feng Xiuzan, who is less than seventeen years old, not afraid?
There are some things that he knows only a little bit about, some things that he half understands, and some things that he doesn’t understand at all. But if you don’t understand, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. The commander and his advisors have given orders, so they can only follow them.
The entire search lasted until midnight. The three families of Gao, Tan, and Gui left the main house, and seven other side courtyards were searched. Long Jinwei dispatched a total of nearly 300 people, and also controlled various houses. After that, Yangzhou Prefecture also dispatched government officials to take charge of peripheral security.
Except for encountering a certain degree of resistance at the Tan family's main residence, everything else was relatively peaceful. After all, among a group of merchants, no one dared to openly confront the notorious Long Jinwei before they were completely desperate.
In fact, it is not actually the resistance of the Tan family, but the violent response of the people supported by the Tan family who did not understand what happened due to sudden encounters.
Fortunately, the Dragon Guards were well prepared, had strong bows and crossbows, and had good hands. Most of the gang members were killed or injured, and only three or five people managed to escape.
When Feng Ziying received the report, it was already close to noon on the second day.
When Su Lunding and Ye Mingzhang, deputy Qianhu of the Nanzhen Fusi Department, entered the small courtyard, Feng Ziying was still enjoying tea in her spare time.
“You two Qianhu masters, are you here to rush for food?” Feng Ziying teased the two Qianhu officers, but her eyes fell on the wooden box carried in by the following Longjing officers.
Lian Guoshi and others also noticed this wooden box.
"Master Feng, several places have been sealed. According to your request, Nanzhen Fusi personnel are here to supervise." Su Lunding said angrily: "Stop making sarcastic remarks here, our brothers are busy. One night, and now I don’t even have a grain of rice in my teeth.”
It was naturally impossible for Feng Ziying to take such a big thing seriously. In addition to a few people arranged by Wang Wenyan, several people brought by Duan Xigui were sent there. Of course, they were just to record the accounts and not care about anything else. Even Long Jinwei Hidden and submerged, don't care at all, just register the sealed property.
In fact, it doesn't mean much to have one or two people in each place. If Long Jinwei intends to cause trouble, it will not help at all, but this is also a warning gesture. Don't go too far. Plus there are people from Nanzhen Fusi, at least it can make people The other party shouldn't go too far, and I really don't dare to overestimate the character of these Longjing Lieutenants.
“Brother Jun Yu, Meng Zhang, Ke Yao, and Lu You, from now on, I’m going to have to work hard for you guys to sort out the accounts and then summarize them. There are people at Wenyan who will cooperate with you to sort them out first...”
Since they are here, they are the best labor force and witnesses, allowing them to understand all the situations most intuitively.
Feng Ziying never planned to do anything for herself inside. After reaching this point, her achievements were enough. When practicing state affairs, they could also take this opportunity to practice hard. Of course, they could also benefit from it. This was also Guan Yingzhen asked them to come.
It is expected that Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui and others will come in the next batch. It is unreasonable not to share the benefits of such a huge achievement with everyone.
One box is to assist in checking and registering the accounts, which are to be handed over to Lian Guo Shi and others to sort out and sort them out.
One box contains letters, books and accounts of several companies, which are not enough for outsiders to understand.
Su Lunding hesitated for a moment, "Master Feng, I'm afraid it's too heavy. It's far beyond our imagination, and there are even some things..."
Looking at Ye Mingzhang, who was expressionless and turned a deaf ear, Feng Ziying knew that this guy was obviously only responsible for supervision, but he was not willing to get involved at all. It is estimated that Su Lunding was regretting it now.
Feng Ziying smiled, opened the lid of the box, and then flipped through the various books, letters, and volumes placed inside, picked out a few articles, and read them, but his brows became more and more frowned.
“Have you two seen it?”
Feng Ziying's casual words made the two Qianhus of Longjingwei tense up. Ye Mingzhang immediately shook his head, "No, I haven't seen it."
Seeing Feng Ziying's eyes falling on him, Su Lunding smiled bitterly, "I've read the book, but I didn't finish it. I just took a rough look at it. I flipped through the other things, looked up the letter and didn't read it,..."
This matter cannot be avoided, and the other party is not afraid of trouble, but Su Lun must know that his identity is different, and he may be trapped and unable to escape, but it is unreasonable to say that he has not seen it, otherwise why would you put this Carry the boxes of things here?
Feng Ziying raised her head, thought for a while, then picked out a few more books and looked at them, her expression became deeper and deeper, and finally she threw them into the box and took out the book.
“Burn the rest.” Feng Ziying said calmly.
"Burned?!" Su Lunding and Ye Mingzhang were both surprised. They had spent so much effort to find these things, but they burned them without saying a word?
"Keeping it is harmful but not beneficial, not to mention who can believe that we burned it now? So what if you find more witnesses? Will they believe it?" Feng Ziying said coldly: "We just know that we burned it. , others, just let them worry about it."
I don't know what's going on, but as long as Feng Ziying decides on things, it's fine. Compared with those letters, these books are not a problem. They are nothing more than some account trends. As long as the key people are not involved, and of course it is impossible to involve the key people, then It has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"Master Feng, then we will report the truth to Master Tongzhi?" Su Lunding followed.
“Report it, I believe Mr. Lu can understand the reason.” Feng Ziying smiled, Lu Song will definitely report it to Emperor Yonglong, and Emperor Yonglong will also understand his intention.
Just when everyone involved in state affairs was extremely busy, Feng Ziying relaxed.
They were really ignorant in practicing state affairs and had never been exposed to such things. However, they were also Jinshis after all. In addition, Wang Wenyan and Duan Xigui brought a group of people to help. The general direction did not understand that Wang Wenyan was on the side. Please explain. If you don't understand the details, Duan Xigui brings a group of "technocrats" to help sort out and verify them. Soon they are on the right track, and they are getting more and more enthusiastic.
Which of these salt merchants can say that there is nothing fishy in them? As long as you are willing to check carefully in the accounts, there will be no problems that cannot be found.
“Ziying, didn’t you consider the consequences of doing this?”
Lin Ruhai's face became darker and darker, but as the weather got warmer, he was still able to take a walk in the small garden behind the Yamen.
"Uncle, in this case, either I won't come here to take over the matter, or I can only choose one or two surgeries..." Feng Ziying accompanied Lin Ruhai with her hands behind her back, "What are you worried about, uncle?"
"The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing has passed through Xuzhou and is traveling day and night. I heard that he almost drowned in Jining Prefecture due to a leak in the boat and was delayed for two or three days. Later in Xuzhou, he almost got into trouble with others because of jealousy... "
Lin Ruhai glanced at his son-in-law.
Feng Ziying laughed nonchalantly, "It seems that Mr. Xie, the censor, is not very lucky. I heard that he is Mr. Liu, the censor of Youdu. Can you please kiss me?"
Lin Ruhai couldn't see the clues, but he was certain that what happened to the censor named Xie during his journey from Jining was probably related to his son-in-law.
Although there was no clue at all, Wu Yaoqing disappeared ten days ago, and Lin Ruhai didn't ask.
But Wu Yaoqing has close relations with various local forces from Jining to Yangzhou. Of course he knows it. Who is instigating him? There is no need to say. Moreover, Feng Ziying does not seem to want to hide her intention, but No one wants to tell the truth.
"Then why does your uncle think that the imperial censor came south to Yangzhou?" Feng Ziying asked, "People from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate have also arrived, but they still can't find a clue like headless flies. They don't understand why. The forbidden captain suddenly made trouble inside the salt merchant, what does uncle think of this scene?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head. His son-in-law was really afraid that the situation would not be chaotic enough. Both the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate were approaching, but he looked confident.
"I'm afraid that Yushi Xie is here to support some people, right?" Lin Ruhai said calmly, "I am not in good health and cannot handle many things personally. Although Wen Yan is capable, his status is not enough. Tao Guolu has also been I was so overwhelmed that I finally waited for this opportunity, why wouldn’t I want to seize it?”
Feng Ziying asked nonchalantly, "Then the Tao salt envoy is not afraid that the imperial court will parachute a salt patrol censor, and he will fetch water in a bamboo basket in vain?"
