Chapter 231 Shuntian

The confessions of several people were similar, but when he saw the confession of Master Shun, Wang Lidong's eyes lit up.

Because the Shun family has a younger son who is an official in Beijing, they know a little more information than other families.

He confessed that the more than 100 Japanese pirates this time were actually introduced by the Chi family of Beitai Island.

His family had no contact with Japanese pirates before.

Wang Lidong thought of the teething case.

Isn't this Chi family the same family that Qian Yapo mentioned that they purchased goods from the store?

Then the head of the Shun family talked about some simple situations of the Chi family.

Since the youngest daughter of the head of the Chi family,

After marrying the governor of Fujian Province and becoming the concubine of the eighth wife.

Within a few years, the Chi family grew from a small landowner to the largest landowner in the entire Beitai Island.

Moreover, Chijia is also the upstream supplier of all tooth shops on the island.

‘Governor of Fujian Province, Ruan Xun?’

Songshan Sect

The top of Songshan Mountain was called "Eji" in ancient times. The Junji Zen Temple at the top of Songshan Mountain was originally a Buddhist temple, but in the past hundred years it has become the residence of the head of the Songshan Sect.

"Master,

Master uncle Deng Bagong is gone."

Zuo Lengchan said in surprise:

"Didn't Junior Brother Deng go to Fujian Province last month? When did he come back?"

Stenda thought to himself why the master didn't understand what he said. Alas,

I have to say it again.

"Master, Uncle Deng has gone west."

This time Zuo Lengchan understood correctly. He stood up and said coldly to his apprentice:

"When did it happen and how did you die?"

Stenda felt that the temperature around his body had dropped a lot, his head shrank involuntarily, and he whispered back:

"The government concluded that he was killed by Japanese pirates.

When Uncle Deng went to visit old friends in Linhai County, Rongcheng, he happened to encounter Japanese pirates coming ashore, and he was killed by the Japanese pirates in the fight."

Zuo Lengchan didn't believe it at all. With his junior brother's martial arts, he couldn't defeat him, so he couldn't escape.

The number of Japanese pirates who came ashore each time was not very large, perhaps hundreds of people.

When he heard about Linhai County, he always felt a little familiar.

"This Linhai County, I think I heard it somewhere a while ago?"

Stenda immediately reminded:

"Junior Brother Lao wrote last time that Yue Buqun's future son-in-law is serving as the county magistrate in Linhai County."

"Then what does our own intelligence say?"

Stenda recalled the information he just saw, and then continued:

"Uncle Deng was asked by Governor Ruan's next aide,

Go to Linhai County to kill someone.

But Master Deng didn't tell anyone exactly who to kill.

Junior Brother Quan received the news the next day that Linhai County had been invaded by Japanese pirates.

The landowner who asked his uncle for help happened to be attacked by Japanese pirates.

Junior Brother Quan wanted to claim Uncle Deng's body, but the county government said that the Japanese pirates set a fire when they left, so it was burned down.

Junior Brother Quan feels that something is a bit fishy, ​​so he is still in Linhai County to inquire about the situation."

Zuo Lengchan thought for a while and then said:

"Let your Third Junior Uncle and Uncle Zhang go to Fujian Province to find out the true cause of Junior Brother Deng's death.

By the way, let them check on Lin Pingzhi's situation.

Yue Buqun will not marry his precious daughter to an escort agency owner for no reason."

Rongcheng

On the second day after receiving the confessions from the four masters, Wang Lidong returned to Rongcheng.

He first went to the magistrate's office.

When the gatekeeper of the magistrate's yamen saw that the visitor was Wang Lidong, a seventh-rank official, he immediately rushed forward enthusiastically to salute and say hello.

"It's Mr. Lin here, please come in."

When Wang Lidong entered the Yamen, the people who were still queuing up outside became dissatisfied.

A young man at the front of the queue, just when it was his turn, was kicked by Wang Lidong.

How can I bear this?

But he didn't dare to say it loudly,

He stuffed a penny into the old man's hands and gave it to the gatekeeper.

The old man weighed the silver in his hand,

There was a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

But mosquito legs are also meat, so let’s waste some words on them.

"The person who just entered is our master's guest, Magistrate Lin of Linhai County.

Every time people come here, they always reward me with ten taels of silver ingots."

he~tui

Isn't he the one who bought the county magistrate with money?

When I have money, I will also buy a county magistrate.

...........

When the prefect saw that the visitor was Wang Lidong, he immediately asked the maid to serve hot tea.

Wang Lidong didn't show any politeness. After taking a sip of tea, he talked about his purpose.

"Your Excellency, Linhai County was invaded by Japanese pirates last night. Although they were finally repelled by the lower officials, the casualties in this county were quite heavy."

While talking, Wang Lidong placed a stack of banknotes and a confession on the tea table.

The prefect was shocked by Wang Lidong's words. He was not worried about the safety of the people in Linhai County, but was afraid that Japanese pirates would attack Rongcheng again.

But after seeing a stack of banknotes, I immediately understood.

I drank two sips of tea first to calm down my shock.

When I saw that the denomination of the bank note was one thousand taels, my heart that had just calmed down began to pound again.

Eighty thousand taels of silver.

Holding the whole stack of banknotes tightly, the prefect with a flushed face said kindly to Wang Lidong:

"Nephew Lin, so many banknotes..."

Wang Lidong rolled his eyes and pointed to several confessions on the tea table.

The prefect just remembered this and immediately picked up the confession. After reading it roughly, he began to curse these landowners who were treasonous with Japan.

“&…%…&%…%%”

After scolding for a while, he stopped.

Then the prefect said bluntly that he had no problem with this case here, but he would definitely not be able to pass it when it came to the governor's Yamen.

As for why he couldn't pass, he didn't explain clearly, but how could Wang Lidong not understand.

Yesterday's confession showed that the proliferation of Japanese pirates in Fujian Province is closely related to the governor.

Although Mr. Zhu in front of me is greedy, he has not found any connection with Japanese pirates so far.

Wang Lidong immediately stated his thoughts.

After hearing this, the prefect patted his chest and promised that if it didn't take two months, it would be a trivial matter and it would be done well.

He thought to himself that when the time came, he would report the case to the governor's Yamen.

As for how this matter will develop in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

After leaving the magistrate's office, Wang Lidong returned home and told Lin Zhennan and his wife what happened in Linhai County.

Ask the couple to bring more hands with them when they go out recently to avoid accidents.

At midnight, Wang Lidong put on his night clothes and went to the governor's office.

Coincidentally, the governor is not asleep yet.

Governor Ruan, who was in his sixties, was playing with his three concubines.

Stay strong with old age and be a role model for our generation.

"いや(i

ya) (don’t), ちからをいれる (force)”

From time to time, a few Japanese words would come out of the mouths of the three concubines to add to the fun.

w(?Д?)w

This penetration is a bit powerful.

When he saw that the old man was about to get high, Wang Lidong moved towards the man's back and spine, keeping a little distance.

.....................

Shuntian (the capital of the Ming Dynasty)

It took half a day for the tired Wang Lidong to arrive in the capital.

If it were not for Tian Boguang's contribution to the Qinggong "stepping on seven folds of clouds", it would have taken at least twice as much time.

Only after he learned this light skill did he understand why Tian Boguang was nicknamed "Walker Alone".

When performing this light skill, the consumption is extremely small, and a third-rate master can run thousands of miles with the internal strength.

After entering the capital, I found an inn near the Xiyuan of the Imperial City and looked at the plaque on the door saying 'Yelai Inn'.
