Night falls.

Inside the inn, it was quiet.

This inn belongs to Jinyiwei, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Ji Gang lives here and everything is normal.

When the inn was closed, Ji Gang and others gathered in a room. The innkeeper quietly came to Ji Gang's room late at night, without lighting a lamp, but opened the window and let the moonlight shine down.

Under the moonlight, the figures of the four of them were intertwined with each other, and there was a very hazy feeling.

"How's it going? Is there any problem?"

Ji Gang didn't talk nonsense and asked directly about the specific situation.

The shopkeeper sat down and then said: "There is a problem. When His Highness left here, there was something wrong with the Jinyiwei in Panyu. About three years after he left, the commander of the Jinyiwei here was replaced by Wu Yi. This person, Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing They have close contact with each other and they often eat, drink and have fun together.”

Ji Gang listened to this person's name, thought about the various relationships among local officials, and asked: "Wu Yi, Wu Yongfeng, what is their relationship?"

The shopkeeper said: "Wu Yi comes from Chaozhou and is of the same clan as Wu Yongfeng. According to our investigation, he can become a royal guard and follow the path of Cen Jing."

Cen Jing is still Zhu Xuan's brother-in-law. If you want to arrange for someone to be an official, it is actually possible.

It's just that people are placed in Jinyiwei.

This is not normal.

Jin Yiwei is not just for anyone who wants to come in.

"wrong!"

Ji Gang pondered and asked: "Can just any person arrange for someone to enter Jinyiwei? This is impossible."

The shopkeeper also knew that it was unlikely, and explained: "But the results of our investigation revealed that Cen Jing was indeed related to Cen Jing, and Cen Jing was still related to Yan Guan."

Sometimes all kinds of relationships still have a certain use.

Human relationships are all maintained through relationships.

The network of relationships between people is very intricate.

Yan Guan followed Zhu Xuan in Panyu for three years, so of course Cen Jing and Yan Guan knew each other.

Ji Gang knew the relationship better than anyone else. When he heard that it was Yan Guan's relationship that ended up leaving, he put aside his doubts and said to himself: "Yan Guan is the person next to His Highness. If Yan Guan's relationship is gone, , and Cen Jing recommended that if you want to become a Jin Yiwei, Lord Jiang may indeed nod his approval, but I don’t know whether His Highness is clear about this.”

He had no idea what Zhu Xuan was thinking, let alone guessing.

He couldn't guess what the person sitting in that position was thinking, but before he came, he didn't get Zhu Xuan's reminder in this regard, so he thought he probably didn't know.

Chai Zizhen and Zhang Dabao were just listening.

I'm not qualified to discuss anything with Ji Gang.

"With His Highness's character, if he knew about it, he would definitely not agree."

"Of course, if His Highness has other arrangements, we don't know."

The shopkeeper briefly stated his judgment, and then said: "This person was arranged by Cen Jing, and he is a member of the Wu family. Now the Cen family and the Wu family have a close relationship, and together with the local Jin Yiwei, they are basically an ironclad A piece of bucket.”

In their understanding, Yan Guan secretly arranged Wu Yi into Jin Yiwei without telling Zhu Xuan.

"In other words, the Jin Yiwei in Panyu are basically members of the Wu family and the Cen family."

Ji Gang sneered and said: "It's interesting. They seem to have great ambitions. They have formed a complete network of relationships throughout Panyu. They can do whatever they want without anyone reporting it."

They have so many advantages and sufficient conditions.

Plus the person who used to be Zhu Xuan.

Status is all here. In the entire Guangdong Chief Secretary, it can basically be said that he can do whatever he wants.

"Anything else?"

Ji Gang asked again.

"Of course!"

"Xu Qi, the original prefect of Panyu, has been transferred to another place."

"The name of the new Panyu magistrate is Nie Deyou, and he is also from Chaozhou."

"Served as the magistrate of Guiyang County in Chenzhou Prefecture and the magistrate of Yangshuo County in Guilin Prefecture."

"He was also transferred to the post of prefect of Quanzhou Prefecture, and now he is the prefect of Panyu Prefecture."

"This person is not from the Wu Yongfeng tribe, but he is from the same hometown as Wu Yongfeng. He went to private school in the same place. However, Wu Yongfeng eventually went on the business road, while Nie Deyou went on the official career."

"When Nie Deyou first came to Panyu as the county magistrate, he was still somewhat upright, but Wu Yongfeng had a relationship with him many times. What happened in the process has not yet been found out, and they began to work together."

"Jin Yiwei is from the Wu family, and Nie Deyou is Wu Yongfeng's classmate."

"Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing's status in Panyu is basically untouchable by anyone. They can do whatever they want."

The shopkeeper said again.

There is a lot of information in these words.

But it also completely summarizes how complex the network of relationships is.

Ji Gang thought for a long time and asked, "Have you checked the last governor of Panyu?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "After checking, there is no problem. Before the previous prefect Xu Qi was transferred, Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing were still quite content."

Ji Gang sighed and said: "In other words, everything started at that time, but it was normal. There was such a big trade zone, and it was so far away from the capital. As long as you concealed it well, no one would notice anything you did. , future generations can obtain and enjoy endless wealth.”

"That's not all!"

The shopkeeper said solemnly: "According to our investigation, they are also prepared overseas."

"Oh?"

Ji Gang asked curiously: "They are overseas, how are they prepared?"

Today's Ming Dynasty is in the stage of vigorous development of exploring overseas.

Many businessmen who rely on the sea go to sea to make money. It is normal to have some connections overseas. However, Ji Gang can imagine that the preparations made by Wu Yongfeng and others overseas were probably because they were afraid of making a big fuss or having an accident, so they turned around and headed overseas. Run away, run out.

The Ming Dynasty's navy is very strong, but the outside world is so big. If they escape and hide, no matter how strong the navy is, they may not be able to find them.

This is what they think.

"According to our investigation, Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing took advantage of the convenience of doing business to establish good relations with people in Great Britain. They both have a large manor in Great Britain. They obtained the noble status there, as if they were some kind of duke."

"As long as they want, they can go to Europe at any time."

The shopkeeper said again.

In fact, they only came here last year, and the inn was newly opened, but they hadn't been here for long, so they could find out all of this so quickly.

Ji Gang felt that the business capabilities of this group of Jinyiwei were much better than his own.

"It should be someone from Zhao Yunsheng, right?"

Ji Gang was thinking in his heart, but said: "They are also afraid of death, so they have done so many things and are still preparing overseas." (End of Chapter)
