People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 251 It’s so dark under the lamp! The endless smuggling turns out to be rooted here! !

Shibosi Yamen.

Tijiu is checking the accounts for the past two days.

"Sir, it's late at night, you should go back, otherwise my wife will come to the Yamen again to find someone." The patrol officer on night duty saw that the lights of his mansion were always on, and came over to inquire about the situation.

Everyone knows that Zheng Guangming is an honest official.

Under his management, the Yue Port Shipping Department was able to account for half of the entire Zhangzhou Prefecture's tax revenue in just a few years.

All this is because Zheng Guangming is self-disciplined and diligent.

It is precisely because Zheng Guangming is so upright that the governor in the province must be polite when facing him, a sixth-grade official.

Zheng Guangming looked at the hourglass in the southwest corner of the public house and was surprised: "Ah! It's already a quarter of a hour!"

The official smiled and said: "That's right! It's already late at night, and you are so diligent at night after finishing your work during the day. It makes me and other errands never dare to slack off at all."

Zheng Guangming left the Shipping Department.

But everyone obeyed him.

Looking at Zheng Guangming's leaving figure, Du Er, a young man, actually had tears falling down his face: "You are truly the best person in the world. God, you must bless me to live a long life, and may you have a long life!"
The villain is willing to spend twenty years of his life on the adults. "

However, his upright figure and reputation for uprightness made him even more powerful than the prefect in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Du Er felt very warm in his heart.

As he spoke, he left with a steady pace.

There is nothing else just because Lord Tiji cares about everyone.

The reason why the adult knew that his mother was sick was because he saw him asking his colleagues for some folk remedies, and he was keenly aware of it.

Zheng Guangming had a smile on his face: "That's good! Being able to help your mother is more important to me than writing a good article. If anything happens in the future, just tell me directly. In our yamen, to the public We are superiors and subordinates. In private, you should treat me as a brother. It is not easy for everyone to make a living outside the home. It is difficult to live without helping each other. Do you understand? "

He got on the sedan that had been prepared outside.

As he spoke, he patted his shoulder lightly: "I'm going back first. I've already ordered the kitchen to prepare a piece of soup for each of your night patrol officers. Drink it to warm yourself up and sleep."

It had only been two months since he came to Shibosi, but within these two months he had personally felt why everyone in Shibosi's yamen respected Lord Tiju so much.

Even though I was just a small official who had to get his salary from Master Tiju's salary, he still cared about me very much.

Zheng Guangming, who is only thirty-five years old, has already seen frost on his temples.

When he thought of this, Du Er's face was filled with gratitude: "Thanks to you! My mother-in-law is in much better health!"

I don't know, I thought he was already in his forties.

Zheng Guangming still had a smile on his face: "Didn't I say it? In private, we are brothers. Well, I really have to go. My wife at home should really scold me if I go back late!"

Du Er's eyes were red, "Sir, we are just some lowly night watchmen. Why do you treat us so well?"

Then Master Tiju personally introduced the doctors in the mansion to them and helped his mother treat the disease without any charge.

If adults hadn't helped him, his mother might have died.

Zheng Guangming stood up and stretched, "Du Er! Is your mother's illness getting better?"

Inside is a beautiful middle-aged woman with a graceful figure and still charming charm.

"Excuse me, madam, please come and pick me up in person!" Zheng Guangming said with a smile.

The woman replied: "As my husband said, he happened to be nearby after finishing his work. He will be waiting for you here. He didn't wait long."

Zheng Guangming chuckled: "Have all those women been sold to Nanyang?"

The woman replied: "Yes! Ten ships just left and were sold at a good price, earning two hundred thousand taels of silver." Zheng Guangming smiled slightly: "It seems that it is more cost-effective for us to smuggle women than to smuggle others."

"It's my husband's idea to stop smuggling silk and porcelain in time. Not only will we avoid dealing with the authorities, but no one will argue with us. In the past few months, Chen Han has been causing trouble in the southeast. Husband, you have planned a strategy to avoid this person. Contact will prevent our property from being damaged, I really admire you."

After listening to his wife's words, Zheng Guangming stroked his beard and said: "Such a person will not live long in the court. Sooner or later, Southeast will become that Southeast. Trafficking women to Nanyang to be prostitutes now is just a stop-gap measure.

Our main business is still silk.

Nowadays, many merchants in the southeast have been slaughtered. Silk is mostly hoarded by small traders, and the price is the lowest. You can take this opportunity to stock up on silk. When Chen Han dies, we will have to go back to our old business. "

The wife nodded: "Okay! I am at your disposal."

"Give me a disguise!" Zheng Guangming said.

The wife took out a wooden box from the carriage. After opening it, there were some disguise tools inside.

After a period of turning decay into magical means, he was just a middle-aged man in his thirties a moment ago, and in an instant he became a senile old man.

"Fifth Master!" said his wife.

"Yeah!" Zheng Guangming's voice became a little older as he became the fifth master.

It turns out that the legendary Fifth Master in the Southeast smuggling world is actually promoted by the shipping department.

During the day, he was an honest and upright official, helping the people and being generous.

At night, he immediately becomes the underground emperor Wu Ye who controls smuggling in the southeast.

No wonder many people don't even know the name of this fifth master.

Who would have thought that a high-ranking official in the imperial court could actually be a smuggler in private.

Dijunmiao Village outside Zhangzhou City.

Outside the village, on an unknown island in Shidi Bay, there is a small manor called Yiming Village.

The villagers all know this place, but they only heard that it was a retired official who heard about the beautiful scenery of Shidi Bay and lived in seclusion here.

But they don't know that this is actually a smuggling stronghold.

This place is not far away from the Shipping Department of Yuegang City in a straight line, but the waterways are densely covered with reefs, and ships can easily run aground and capsize. Ordinary people don't know that.

However, Zheng Guangming has been operating here for many years, using the dark under the lamp to carry out smuggling business here.

Because he is secretive and does not deal with official people, he has not been found out for so many years.

Zheng Guangming and his wife entered Yiming Village and went directly to the lobby.

There are already many smugglers gathered here.

When he saw them coming in, he immediately came forward and saluted.

"I've met the Fifth Master!!"

Zheng Guangming sat in the master's seat and saw that there was an empty seat on the left hand side. He frowned: "Based on the distance, the owner of the Xinglong should have arrived in Zhangzhou in the past few days. Why don't we see them coming?"

The shopkeeper of Futong, who is also a Shaanxi businessman, came forward and said, "Fifth Master, we really don't know.

But when I left, I heard that Chen Han was bloodbathing the vassal king in Henan. He was escorting several carts of Hetian jade and he was walking slowly. I wonder if he bumped into them. "

Everyone frowned when they heard this...

Second update! !
