I've been a headhunter at Six Doors all these years

Chapter 190 Chapter 186: Japanese Invasion
After speaking, he led a hundred policemen to start the search.

Three days later, Zhao Qian really copied more than 1000 million taels of silver, more than 50 taels of gold, and countless jewels and jades, the total value of which was not less than 3000 million taels of silver.

"Unexpectedly, these two Jiangyan envoys obtained so much money illegally. This is really an eye-opener!"

Ma Rufeng looked at the gold and silver treasures piled up in the whole yard, and couldn't help being speechless!
Ji Yaohua said: "The salt transport envoy is a fat job, and the salt tax they pay every year is only half of the total income."

Ling Yun said: "Such a large amount of stolen money is definitely not something that Zhang Qian, the Liangjiang salt transport envoy, can swallow alone. Zhang Qian is just a small role, and the real big tiger is in the court."

Ma Rufeng immediately understood: "Your Imperial Envoy mean Cai?"

You can't speak too directly, after all, this is just speculation, and there is no evidence in hand yet.

Ling Yun nodded, and said to Ma Rufeng: "During this time, you have to take good care of this scorpion, and after it has been added to the six gates of the capital, hand it over to Shenhou to interrogate him and let him confess the big tiger behind the scenes."

"Yes, my lord." Ma Rufeng bowed his hands and accepted the order.

The capital, Caifu.

In Cai Jing's study, a secret agent is bringing an extremely shocking news to Cai Jing.

"My lord, Ling Yun, the imperial envoy inspecting Liangjiang, found out the fake salt quotations privately printed by Liangjiang salt transport envoys, and copied gold and silver treasures worth tens of millions of taels from the Yan Yun government office."

"What? Didn't you report that Ling Yun had been eating, drinking, and having fun in the imperial envoy's mansion before? Why did Ling Yun suddenly copy the Yanyun envoy's mansion now? You bastards!"

Cai Jing threw a jade teacup to the ground in a rage, and shouted curses at the spy!

The spy lowered his head, not daring to speak back.

Cai Jing paced back and forth impatiently, and stopped for a moment: "Has Zhang Qian, the envoy of salt transport, confessed to Ling Yun any information?"

The spy said: "No. Ling Yun intends to escort Zhang Qian back to the six gates of the capital for interrogation by Zhuge Zhengwo."

Cai Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Notify Li Tianlong, the inspector of Zhejiang Province, and ask him to get rid of Zhang Qian before he is escorted to the capital."

The spy led the way.

The governor's mansion prison.

In the morning, Ma Rufeng came to check on Zhang Qian as usual.

Opening the door of Zhang Qian's locked cell, Ma Rufeng walked in, and his expression changed drastically!
Zhang Qian had already bled to death from his seven orifices!

"What's going on? Has anyone been here today?"

Ma Rufeng yelled at the jailers.

A jailer cupped his hands and said, "My lord, no one has been here today except you."

Several other jailers also nodded repeatedly.

Ma Rufeng walked up to Zhang Bang, squatted down to look at the black blood flowing from Zhang Bang's mouth and nose, and immediately understood what was going on.

Ma Rufeng asked: "Who brought food to Zhang Qian last night?"

The jailer cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the jailer who delivered the food didn't come today after asking for leave."

"Damn it!" Ma Rufeng cursed, strode out of the prison, and reported to Ling Yun.

"What, Zhang Qian was poisoned to death?"

Hearing Ma Rufeng's report, Ling Yun couldn't help feeling annoyed: "Oh! It's all my fault for being too careless. In fact, I should have thought that they would kill people to silence them."

Ma Rufeng said: "My lord, what should we do now?"

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly: "Now that Zhang Qian has been silenced, there is no way to deal with the big tiger behind this, so I have to go back and talk about it."

Three days later, Ling Yun was ready to return to Beijing to return to his command.

But at this moment, Madam Qi sent an urgent report!

"My lord imperial envoy, hundreds of large Japanese pirate warships have been found in the Haiphong sentry tower, and they are now heading towards Taizhou. Madam Qi asks you to leave Beijing as soon as possible."

"Understood, you go back and report to Mrs. Qi, the imperial envoy is determined to fight against the Japanese pirates with the Qi family army, and there is no way he will escape back to Beijing when Taizhou is in danger!"

"This" the sergeant who reported could not help but look embarrassed.

"Hurry up!" Ling Yun yelled at him, and the sergeant got on his horse and left.

"Captain Ma, immediately gather all the police officers and guards, and prepare to go."

"Yes, my lord." Ma Rufeng led the order and left.

"Yaohua, go and inform Governor Hu, and ask him to organize the people to evacuate into the city immediately."

"En." Ji Yaohua took the order and left.

Half an hour later, Ling Yun brought five hundred imperial guards and one hundred Xuanyi officers to the Qi family's sea defense city.

"My lord, Taizhou is in crisis, you should go back to the capital!"

When Madam Qi saw Ling Yun coming with hundreds of people, she couldn't help persuading her.

She didn't even know how terrifying the imperial envoy's martial arts were!
Ling Yun said seriously: "Madam Qi, you are a girl who knows how to protect your family and country, but I, Ling Yun, a man of seven feet, want to run away greedy for life and fear of death?"

"My lord, but you are an imperial envoy"

Ever since Hu Dazong exchanged the official gifts Ling Yun received for tens of thousands of taels of silver and handed them over to Madam Qi, Madam Qi admired Ling Yun even more!
Therefore, even if she died in Taizhou with these thousands of Qi's troops, she didn't want Ling Yun to fight side by side with her.

"Madam Qi, just because I am an imperial envoy, I have to be attached to the people! Now that Taizhou is in danger, it is time for me to serve the country and save the people!"

"My lord." Madam Qi was too excited to say anything.

Ling Yun smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Mrs. Qi, you should hurry up and organize the Qi family army to prepare bows, arrows and stones to go to the city!"

"Yes, my lord."

Madam Qi strode away with two female bodyguards.

Ling Yun took out a telescope from his sleeve, stood on Haiphong City, and stared at the sea to the east.

As the telescope moved left and right, he quickly saw the huge sailing ships densely packed on the sea level in the distance, at least no less than a hundred.

Ling Yun made a rough estimate that each ship can hold about three or four hundred Japanese pirates, so the total number of Japanese pirates who invaded this time should exceed [-].

"It seems that this time the Japanese pirates are all the main force dispatched."

Ling Yun sighed, it seems that this will be a fierce battle!
Fortunately, because of this high-powered telescope, the Japanese pirates were found hundreds of nautical miles away. If we only observed with the naked eye, I am afraid that we would have to go within five nautical miles at least to find them. By then, the people would have no time to evacuate.

"My lord, Governor Hu is here."

As soon as a police officer reported to Ling Yun, he saw Hu Dazong leaving the tower with a group of guards.

"Master Hu, how is the evacuation of the people in Taizhou going?"

Seeing Hu Dazong coming up, Ling Yun couldn't wait to ask.

What he is most worried about now is the safety of the people. After all, the hundreds of thousands of people in Taizhou will not be evacuated in a short while.

Hu Dazong said: "Please rest assured, the imperial envoy, the thousands of officers and soldiers of the governor's office are helping the people organize the evacuation to the rear of the city defense, and have taken away all the food that can be eaten. It should take another two or three hours to complete the evacuation. "
