The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1441 Harvest
The size of the target can be described as a fish. The Xuan family's merchant ship is naturally a big fish, a big fat fish.

It seems that they are going to do it tonight. I don't know if my father-in-law is ready.

In any case, Chang Le knew that even if there were pirates among the people here, he couldn't delay any longer. It was the navy's business to catch pirates, and his own task was to find the Quanzhou government who secretly communicated with the pirates for the father-in-law. Evidence, for the sake of the word "account book", Chang Le will continue to follow the master and return to the county government.

It is very likely that the master will start to deal with the books when he returns to the county government.

Therefore, Chang Le didn't delay too much among these huts. After the master left, he also left.

Naturally, there were people who saw Chang Le in the thatched shed, but if they knew the master, they only recognized Chang Le as the guard who secretly protected the master, and didn't say much.

It’s also thanks to them that they didn’t say anything, otherwise Chang Leke would be exposed in front of the master. After all, the mess in this place is all people, and maybe they are all their people. Chang Le has no place to hide, so he can only force himself Follow along.

But Chang Le's adventure has also paid off, at least he knows that the person who communicated with the pirates is in this Quanzhou City, in this hut in Quanzhou City, dressed like a beggar, and is not eye-catching. If you don't know this information, even if you send troops to search the entire Quanzhou City, you won't be able to find them.

The officers and men of the Yangzhou Navy, who were docked at the Quanzhou Navy Camp, have been preparing since Liu Renyuan set up the trap, and they didn't even get off the boat. Once there is a situation, they will set sail immediately.

At the speed of the Yangzhou navy, if they set off at full speed from the navy camp to the place where the Xuanjia merchant ship docked, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to get there. Liu Renyuan also made up his mind this time, and he was determined not to let the pirates escape. , once let them escape, the next time they set the trap, they won't be hooked.

Chang Le was still following the master closely in Quanzhou city, and while following the master, he had to be careful not to be discovered. From the time he had a meal in the morning until it was dark in the evening, Chang Le never took a bite of anything , now my stomach is empty and I feel uncomfortably hungry, but I still have to keep an eye on this master.

The trap set by Haihaier against the pirates has already begun to work. If you can’t find any evidence and catch the loopholes, then the pirates will be solved, but at the same time, all the officials in the Quanzhou government will be allowed to escape. If you want to break the string connecting the government and the pirates, if your father-in-law wants to clean up these officials in Quanzhou, he will have no way to do it.

What is the final result?After the father-in-law and the navy leave Quanzhou, there will be new pirates who will continue to do evil in Quanzhou. Quanzhou has become a place where Feng Zhijun can speak. Maybe what was waiting was the shining blade on his neck.

Chang Le squatted in the county government office, and finally waited for the master to act again. Under the instruction of the county magistrate, the master walked towards the study room in the county government office alone with a lantern in hand, while Chang Le went directly to the roof. Monitor every move of the master.

The master entered the study room, took out the candlelight from the lantern, weighed the oil lamp in the study room, then extinguished the lantern, started to move around in the study room, and took out a brocade box from the hidden compartment under the bookshelf in the study room , put it on the table, and after opening it, it contained the account book that Chang Le was thinking about.

It is obvious that this is not the first time the master has done the work of copying the account book. He opened the account book with ease, sat in front of the desk by himself, and began to study ink and write.

The master obeyed the order of the county magistrate and copied a copy of the account book for himself. In the future, even if the real account book is taken away by the government office, he still has a bargaining chip in his hand. The people in the government office want him to When people are used as scapegoats, they must be weighed carefully.

In other words, the transcribed ledger is the life-saving talisman of county government officials.

Don't you know that Xuan Shijing already knew that they had pirates and contacts, but now this life-saving talisman has just become a life-threatening talisman.

After tonight, the matter will come to an end, so even if Chang Le stole the ledger tonight, the people from the county government will find that the ledger is gone tomorrow morning, which will not help.

This account book is the evidence, the most important evidence, with the certified physical evidence, how can these officials of the Quanzhou city government refute it?
If the ledger is not enough, Xuan Shijing still has three boxes of stolen goods on board.

Xuan Shijing didn't believe it anymore, all those things came from Feng's house, not one, two, or even [-], [-], [-], [-]% were looted by pirates.

As long as it is something received from the pirates, it should be recorded in this ledger.

The pirates robbed not only the villages along the coast, but also the merchant ships on the sea. The people's homes could not find much, and the most important ones were the passing merchant ships.

Feng Zhijun's act of raising pirates shows that Quanzhou City is prosperous on the surface, but secretly, Quanzhou City is getting poorer and poorer.

Because of the pirates, many businessmen are not going to Quanzhou. Once they come to Quanzhou, they will definitely meet the pirates. The pirates are so rampant, and there is no profit here that makes people give up their lives. What is the trouble?
So after going back and forth, the number of merchant ships on the seas of Quanzhou and Fuzhou is decreasing day by day. Since Xuan Shijing arrived in Quanzhou for such a long time, I have never heard of any merchant ships on the sea. There was no shadow.

The seaside is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and life is lost. Who would go to sea with enthusiasm all day long?

It wasn't until the next day that the master closed the ledger, got up, lit the lantern, turned off the lights in the study, and left the study.

Chang Le was lying on the roof. After seeing the master walking away, he relaxed, yawned silently, came down from the roof, gently pushed open the door of the study, entered the study, and groped the ledger in the dark. Originally in his arms, he took advantage of the night to leave the county government office and went straight out of Quanzhou City.

Fortunately, there is no curfew in Quanzhou city at night, and the city gate is also open. There are only six guards beside the gate.

Ordinary people go out of the city at night, and the guards just ask casually. Chang Le rode out of the city on horseback, and the guards didn't even ask.

Those who rode wildly at night were basically people who could not be provoked by ordinary soldiers who ate military rations.

Moreover, Chang Le didn't intend to stop for them to check. He forcibly stepped forward to intercept him, and he was injured by a horse.

In this way, Chang Le rode a fast horse and gradually drifted away from Quanzhou City, disappearing from the sight of the guards at the gate of the city.
