I am the carpenter king

Standing at the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of the river beating against the side of the boat, Zhou Jiamo had a smile on his face.The moon hangs in the sky. Although it is not a full moon, the silver ash sprinkled on the river is still very beautiful.

"My lord, where are we going after we go to Yangzhou? Do you want to send someone from a low-level job to arrange it first?" A man stood behind Zhou Jiamo, he seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then slowly asked.

Shaking his head slowly, Zhou Jiamo said with a smile: "The matter is not as complicated as you think. Even the emperor in the capital knows about this matter, which means it has been put on the bright side." Zhou Jiamo's expression was a little complicated.I have always valued that student very much, I hope Zhang Qian will not go too far!

"What does your lord mean? Forgive me for being humble and stupid, I didn't understand what your lord meant!" The man was taken aback, but he still said honestly.

"The emperor received the secret document, which means that this matter has already been published, and the matter has come to light, and there is no need to investigate further. The old man went to Yangzhou, firstly to see the official, and secondly to Don't worry about my incompetent student! Thirdly, I hope to understand things more thoroughly. Maybe there are some others, that is, to avoid falling into the schemes of those people in Nanjing." Zhou Jiamo smiled indifferently, thinking of the secret letter mentioned When Wei Guogong arrived, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The man seemed to understand something, and he didn't ask anything, but he began to persuade: "My lord, it's cool on the river at night, you'd better go to the cabin! The cook on the bed has already cooked the fish that your lord dropped during the day, and I've made some preparations. Wine, my lord, drink a few glasses to get rid of the cold."

Smiling and nodding, Zhou Jiamo said with satisfaction: "I thought this errand would be extremely hard, but I didn't expect it to be so easy and comfortable. Let's go, eat fish and drink!" He said and strode into the cabin.

At night, the city of Nanjing is still brightly lit, the Qinhuai River is still full of laughter, and the entire pier is full of flower boats.It is the best time to attract guests, but a three-story flower boat has slowly opened the port, and those who often do business here know it.This flower boat must have been chartered by the gold master.

In the hall on the second floor, there are more than a dozen tables on both sides, with all kinds of delicacies placed on them, and each seat is served by a clever woman.However, the people in each seat are different, some of these people are older, some are younger, all smiling and looking at the dancing women in the hall.

However, there was no one in the seats of the three principals, and no one showed any anxious expressions, and they all waited quietly.Occasionally someone would glance toward the third-floor landing.But no one watched for too long.

Clap clap!Three slaps sounded, and the music in the hall stopped abruptly. Both the dancing girls and the serving girls all backed out.Three people came down from the upstairs, all in casual clothes, and they sat down on the main seat without any politeness.

The one on the left is a middle-aged man in his 50s with a simple and honest smile on his face, looking easy to get close to.However, although this person's eyes were slightly closed, they were full of light from time to time.It shows that this is not a person who handles things well.This person is none other than Cheng Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing.

The man in the middle is thinner than his feet.There was a morbid pallor on his face, which gave people a particularly gloomy feeling.The eyes are not big, but they are very sinister. If you are stared at by him, you will definitely have a creepy feeling.This person is exactly Fang Shihong, the co-prefect of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, Nanjing, and a member of the Fang family in Zhejiang.His father is Fang Congzhe, who is a scholar at home.

The one on the right has a big beard and a horizontal scar on his face. He looks very rough.This person is none other than Zhang Guangcan, the left governor of Nanjing Wuwu Army's governor's mansion, and his ancestor was Zhang Xing, who was the emperor of Yongle Jingnan who raised troops.Later, because of his meritorious service, he was named Uncle An Xiang, and there were outstanding figures in his ancestors.Zhang Guangcan is now the Left Commander of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.It can be said that he did not live up to the reputation of his ancestors.

"Uncle, do you have anything to say?" Fang Shihong smiled and looked at An Xiangbo Zhang Guangcan with a bit of flattery.

"Just discuss it. I'm listening. I really don't know why you brought these people here. If the news leaks out, we'll finish the game together!" Zhang Guangcan said with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face. .

It seems that they have been used to it for a long time, and the expressions of everyone have not changed much. Fang Shihong said to Cheng Yi, the Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs, "Mr. Cheng, it is up to you! Now that this time has come, Mr. Cheng does not need to keep anything, we are all Grasshoppers on the same rope, everyone has one heart! Let me put it here first, if anyone has two hearts, don’t think you can escape. We all know each other, and when the whole family dies, don’t blame others. "

After Fang Shihong threatened everyone, Cheng Yi stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Everyone, being able to sit here shows that you are already a very important person. There are Shanxi people, Zhejiang people, and People from other places, everyone knows why everyone gathers together. As an official, we said that we made it for ourselves, rather than making it for our family. I hope everyone can understand this."

Seeing everyone nodding, Cheng Yicai continued: "I don't even need to tell you that you know that Zhangjiakou's business has been cut off, and Yangzhou's salt has been cut off. Now that the imperial court wants to reform the military system, this source of income will also be cut off. Although some people are still making money at sea, the court’s navy is already under construction, so don’t have too much hope. With the temper of the current emperor, money at sea will never be let go.”

This time it seemed that not everyone agreed with Cheng Yi's words, and after whispering to each other, the scene gradually calmed down.

"I know you have something to say, but let me finish first. I don't say that you know what you have done in the past. Now the case of the Zhejiang mutiny and the disaster relief case in Yangzhou, who of you can escape? The emperor sent Zhou Jiamo here , who of you is not afraid of investigation? Not to mention other crimes, who can bear the burden of collusion with you by a government-businessman?" Cheng Yi's face was full of evil spirits, and a sneer swept across the faces of everyone.

The scene settled down again, and everyone's expressions became ugly.The law of the Ming Dynasty has clear regulations on the collusion between officials and businessmen for profit. Anyone who colludes with officials and businessmen and uses power for personal gain will be treated as grass.If we put it in the past, at best, we would be dismissed from office and go home.But the current emperor is different. Whether it is the Liaodong case or the salt case in Yangzhou, this Emperor Apocalypse has been killed all the way.

I know what I'm doing, and it's really easy to get rid of it.Among them, there is nothing more fearful than Wuyang, the governor of Nanzhili. He is the first to bear the brunt at this time. No matter how you look at it, he can't escape.

"Chenggong, if you have anything to do, just say it! We are all on the same boat, and we will do whatever you want!" Wu Yang hurriedly stated that there is no way to retreat now, and he can only give it a go!

But many people cursed Wuyang in their hearts, the ghost is in your boat, your boat is about to sink, and they want to drag Lao Tzu to be buried with you.But none of the crowd said anything, they all stared at Cheng Yi, hoping that the lord would come up with an idea.

"Now the development of the matter is still under control. Zhou Jiamo has fallen ill. Mr. Fang, you should arrange someone to find out whether it is a real illness or a fake illness as soon as possible. If it is a real illness, it is a golden opportunity to make him sick forever. Come on! If it's a fake illness, then find a way to make him really ill, and Zhou Jiamo can't be allowed to do things anyway." Cheng Yi looked at Fang Shihong who was on the side, with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

After pondering for a while, Fang Shihong nodded slowly. The ancestor of the Fang family, Fang Jueliang, was the commander of Jinyiwei in Yongle. It can be said that with the development of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the Fang family has become a veritable family.His father Fang Congzhe has been the chief minister of the cabinet for so many years, and the Fang family has grown to an unprecedented height. How can it decline under his own hands?

Nodding his head slowly, Fang Shihong said in a deep voice: "Zhou Jiamo is on behalf of the sky patrol, and Jin Yiwei is responsible for his safety. We can think of a way to do this. I will plan it carefully, and maybe I can give it to the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Zhang Da. You can plant it!"

I'm not looking at Zhang Shihong, just leave this matter to him. As for how to do it, he must be better than himself.Looking at Uncle An Xiang Zhang Guangcan, Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Uncle, try to push all the things in Hangzhou to Wei Guogong. I wonder if uncle can cause Wei Guogong some more trouble? It is best to put Wei Guogong's Take down the military power!"

"Are you going to rebel?" Although An Xiangbo had a rough appearance, he was not careless in his heart.He dared to attack the imperial envoy, and he wanted to frame the commander of Jinyiwei, and he wanted to take away Wei Guogong's military power. If he couldn't see it, he would be a fool.

"To tell you the truth, I have already sent people to Luoyang. If there is nothing we can do, then we will be in Nanjing. Even if it doesn't work in the end, we can still hold the southeast half of the wall. But this is a last resort, after all The roots of Shanxi people are still in Shanxi!" Cheng Yi had a complex look on his face, but he still chose to say it.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they were like frying pans, and finally their eyes fell on Uncle An Xiang.After all, this is a hereditary uncle, so it's really hard to say how he will choose.

"This matter must be considered in the long term, and it is absolutely necessary not to do it!" Staring at Cheng Yi with piercing eyes, Uncle An Xiang said with a serious face.

"Uncle, don't worry, none of us will take this risk if it's not for the sake of it. But if it's really successful, Uncle An Xiang is probably Duke An Xiang!" Cheng Yi naturally knew what Uncle An Xiang was thinking, and said with a smile . (To be continued..)
