T-Scroll Chapter 161: Kill with one strike, cook soup over slow fire
"Qianhu!"
Su Lunding's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Time is up?"
"Back to Qianhu, we're here." Several Baihu next to them were already eager to give it a try.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, salt merchant. This trip is worth it even if you are exhausted.
Su Lunding's expression was complicated.
He was indeed here under orders. Can any of the Yangzhou salt merchants say that there is no problem at all? Even if they were to capture them all and throw them into prison, there would be no problem at all. But can this be done?
The commander knew that the master had an order and acted according to Xiao Feng Xiuzuan's intention, but Xiao Feng Xiuzuan would not come to the surface, which was a bit tricky.
Su Lunding needs to consider whether his shoulders can bear it once this storm sweeps across and eventually causes a big shock.
It would be easy to say that this little Feng Xiuzhan was a caring person, but this guy refused to come to the stage.
No matter how I requested, the other party only said that he would not seek political advice if he was not in his position. He was not a censor, but only a compilator for the Hanlin Academy, so he should not interfere with the investigation.
You shouldn't have interfered. You handed over so many things at once, and everything is shocking. It's even more complete and detailed than what Long Jinwei has in his possession. Does this mean that he is not in his position and not acting in his own way?
This is even more excessive than seeking to do one's job 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 cannot help but make people feel dismayed.
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, adjusted his Feiyu suit, and said, "Let's go!"
Almost within a very short period of time, hurried knocks on the door and footsteps of leather boots could be heard in several famous mansions in Yangzhou City.
Gaofu.
Gao Yue knew that he had made a mistake when he heard the neat footsteps entering his courtyard.
He knew he had met someone who didn't play by the rules.
In other words, he underestimated his opponent's ruthless determination.
If it had been a few days later, the Imperial Censor 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.
When Gao Yue saw the flying fish suit and the narrow-edged knife, he knew that the matter was going to be 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 was wearing a flying fish uniform, which was enough to show that his identity was not simple. Although Lieutenant Long was accustomed to hiding his whereabouts in Nanzhili, it was no secret to Gao Yue.
Only one of the Longjing Lieutenants of South Zhili 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 touches himself?
Or was his greed for profit making him lose his mind?
Gao Yue didn't believe that a Qianhu in Jinyi who was given the imperial gift of a flying fish uniform could be so imbecile.
That means that the other party has determined that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. Thinking of this, Gao Yue's heart becomes colder and colder.
"Su Qianhu?"
"Oh, Shopkeeper Gao." Seeing that the other party was still calm, Su Lunding was a little impressed, but he had to fire the arrow.
"I wonder why Su Qianhu came to Gao's home late at night?" Gao Yue's heart dropped and he calmed down.
Panicking is useless, and begging for mercy is even more futile, but staying calm may make the other party have some scruples and prevent them from doing too much evil.
Su Lunding was more and more impressed by this man's calmness and rationality, and nodded: "If someone eats royal food, it is natural that he 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 family, who has been favored by the emperor in his life,..., he should have served the public and abided by the law,..., now
It was found out that the Gao family had a long-term collusion with the salt lords Zhao Wenbo and Han Jinye..., and that the Gao family was in cahoots with Lu Jinchuan, the salt head of the Lianghuai salt field, and Bao Yakui,... and that the Gao family was in cahoots with a traitor in the Yamen, the salt envoy to the Lianghuai capitals.
Since the 27th year of Yuanxi, the salt class has been owed 1,280,000 taels of silver through false accounts and other methods for a long time..."
Reading the melodious Beijing film was catchy in the courtyard, and at this time, Long Jinwei and his group had already filed in, and entered 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 screams of the old man could not be heard without stopping.
Regarding the previous accusation, although Gao Yue also changed his mind a little, he didn't care. There was no need to accuse him. Which salt merchant couldn't find such charges? But when he directly accused him of false accounting and embezzlement,
The crime of salt class was such that Gao Yue couldn't help but quarrel with each other, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper: "Sir, Gao can bear the blame for any crime, but this is the matter of making false accounts and embezzling the salt class.
, Gao Mou would never dare,..."
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 Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers. Everyone
It was tacitly understood and I had stopped mentioning it a long time ago. Why did you bring it up again now?
"Really? Then we need to verify slowly and find out what the specific situation is. Shopkeeper Gao can go 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.
Sure enough, 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 Mr. 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 do it for your convenience 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. By the way, 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 courtyard gradually calmed down, and only various moving boxes and cabinets were left.
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 me. I don't know anything about me. I only know that I'm following orders. You don't need to explain anything to me..."
Gao Yue sighed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he heard the sound, 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 thinking about the jade-colored paper about making false accounts and misappropriating salt lessons made him uneasy.
Are they planning to uncover this kind of thing? Even at that time, Lin Ruhai and 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. Wouldn’t the imperial court want to wipe out the entire group of salt merchants? That would be really crazy.
*******
Along with the chaos in the city of Yangzhou, Feng Ziying was chatting and laughing happily in the yamen.
"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 want 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 the city of Yangzhou.
There is a Long Jinwei in Yangzhou Prefecture to say hello, but it is not easy to use the Long Jinwei on Bingbei Road. 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 adultery. At that time, even the next
I haven't even been born as an official yet, so even if Master Mo hears it, he still doesn't know, do 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 came 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."
"Haha, Mr. Mo, you might as well move around more in the future. Your Majesty 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 him 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..."
