The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 309 Missing Persons
Yinzhen's every move in the south of the Yangtze River affected the hearts of hundreds of officials in the two rivers. The news of his entry into Jiangning's weaving mansion was spread the next day, and it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. As the waves spread, everyone was guessing, the cold-faced Fourth Master Wang, could it be that the six relatives didn't recognize that even the emperor's cronies dared to touch him?
The holes in the two weaving mansions are big, but they are also used to receive the old man's several southern tours, plus the dark money spent secretly collecting information, which is not visible.This bad debt has nothing to do with taxes, but has something to do with the emperor's extravagance and waste when he went to the south of the Yangtze River several times. Don't look at whose yard this tree is planted in.

Yinzhen didn't care about these things, Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin had been rooted in Jiangnan for decades, and he had already thoroughly understood the relationship between the two rivers and three provinces.It's time to take advantage of this web.Jiangning Weaving Cao Rui, Cao Yong's cousin, has succeeded Jiangning Weaving since his eldest brother died and disappeared.

With so much money, Cao Rui could bury him. With so much money, even if he sold him by the catty, even if he sold his whole family by the catty, it would not be enough to pay off the debt. Cao Rui wanted to die every day because the officials were hypocritical and submissive.In my heart, I resented the cousin who abandoned his wife and daughter and never heard from him, knowing that he was definitely alive, but he could only say that he was dead.Why do you let me pick a burden you can't afford?
However, Cao Yong was the eldest son of the family and was alone. Cao Yong disappeared, and Kangxi decreed that Cao Rui was adopted from Cao Yin's brother to Cao Yin, which was a bad job.Every day I worry about the gang of gentry and evil officials coming to collect debts.In this situation, he still has to be well-clothed and well-fed every day, and pretend to be rich in front of outsiders. This life is impossible.

As soon as Yinzhen and Yinyu came and revealed their identities, Cao Rui thought they were here to settle accounts with him, and immediately seven souls went to six and a half souls.He moved out the big tent of the weaving mansion, and took out all the things he knew.Hearing that Yinzhen was furious, he looked like he was about to sacrifice the blood of the whole world.

In fact, Cao Rui didn't know the true meaning of Zhizaofu. It can be said that after Cao Yin's death, Jiangning Zhizao, the two major intelligence agencies in the south of the Yangtze River, had lost its function. Apart from payment progress and greetings, there is nothing else to report to the court.

However, Cao Yong knew more than Cao Rui after all, and even in his later years when Cao Yin was sick and unable to write, the secrets were all drawn up by Cao Yong.This is a way for the old man to show his allegiance to his master, the emperor, and also to imply that if the hole Jiang Ning made is not discovered, he can only let Cao Yong be his successor.It's just that the old man didn't count his son after all his calculations, so he would abandon his official position and become a monk.

Now Yinzhen went to the Weaving Yamen, borrowing the relationship network of the Weaving Yamen, to find out the evidence of the collusion between the officials and businessmen in the two rivers to evade excessive taxation.Things are in full swing.Yinzhen's face was getting darker and darker. Fifteen was holding Shangfang's sword and looked at it, feeling that the officialdom was too dark. This dragon's son and grandson confronted them, just like a little white sheep confronting a big bad wolf.If it wasn't for the fourth brother standing in front, he would have gone home.

This side is intriguing, fighting corruption and promoting integrity, but Yinhu is helpless.Suspected that Cao Yong was staying upstairs, but did not have a suitable opportunity to go up to see him, and worried that the person upstairs was not Cao Yong, so he was happy for nothing.Yinhu is in a dilemma in Linggu Temple.

On this day, he took two guards to go shopping again. When the sun went down, he turned back to the temple, only to find that there was an unfamiliar pastry stand at the entrance of the temple.I went out again the next day, and there was another word-testing stall. On the third and fourth days, many faces appeared at the gate of Linggu Temple one after another.

Yinhu finally became suspicious, and on the fifth day, he asked Rongfa to deliberately knock over the pastry stand, and as a result, several pairs of eyes stared at Rongfa together, revealing a ferocious air.Yinhu looked at Rongfa with a smile on his face and spent money to eliminate disasters calmly, but compared the appearances of these people carefully in his heart.I've never seen it before, that's for sure, it's fake that these people came to Linggu Temple to set up a stall to do business, and the other pictures are true.

Back in the meditation room, after careful consideration, Yinhu decided to cut through the mess quickly and go upstairs to have a look as soon as possible.Therefore, he asked the old abbot to visit the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and donated 5000 taels of silver to put gold on the Buddha statue, and the old abbot agreed.And personally accompanied him to the Buddhist scripture pavilion.After going around in a circle, he saw Cao Yong shrinking in the corner.

Of course Cao Yong knew Ba Ye, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth and shivered, almost rolled his eyes and passed out.Yinhu just glanced at him, picked out a scripture, and followed the abbot downstairs, leaving Cao Yong trembling.

It is sure that the weird person upstairs is Cao Yong, and Yinhu is not talking nonsense.The next night, with the help of the guards, he went to the Sutra Pavilion.When Cao Yong saw him, he naturally kowtowed and burst into tears, but he just didn't speak.Yinhu originally thought that he was pretending to be dumb, but after repeated testing, he found that Cao Yong was really dumb.My heart skipped a beat: "What the hell is going on? Huang Ama misses you very much, so she came down to the south of the Yangtze River to find you, so she issued a death edict. Even so, the old man still didn't believe that you were dead, so he ordered me to come Check your whereabouts."

Cao Yong listened, two lines of tears.Pick up a pen and write down the words "heavy debts build up a reminder".After reading it, Yinhu sighed: "The money owed by the Cao family to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few years ago has been found out to be corruption and dereliction of duty by the former chief executive, and it has already been written off. How can the debt be repaid now?" Cao Yong wrote a number, and Yinhu looked at it. The eyeballs almost fell out: "Why are there so many? This, how do you owe this?" Cao Yong was about to say something, but there was a rustling sound outside the door.

Yinhu was startled, and just about to call for someone, Cao Yong suddenly grabbed his sleeve and shook his hand, took out a kit from his bosom and handed it to him, and pushed him to signal him to leave quickly.At this time, Rong Fa, who was guarding the door, broke in: "Master, let's go, a lot of people are here, the scripture library is surrounded, and the servants are protecting you, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Yinhu made a decisive decision: "Take him with you!" Cao Yong shook his head, pointed at the kit and then at himself, then knelt down and bowed deeply to Yinhu.Yinhu wanted to drag him up, but found that he had committed suicide with the iron rod that picked up the wick.

Yinhu and Rongfa hid in the cabinet of the scriptures, the killer's target was not him, and found that the target person was dead in the inner room, so they quickly retreated without stopping.Only then did Yinhu come out of the cabinet. Hearing the footsteps just now, there must be more than three murderers.It should be the strange hawkers at the door.

Looking at Cao Yong's body, he became a little bit ruthless. Who wanted Cao Yong's life? He was already "dead", so who else would he pose a threat to?If the fourth brother knew that Cao Yong was alive and in Linggu Temple, he would come over early in the morning and take him away for questioning.In this world, who else wants Cao Yong's life, dares to take Cao Yong's life?

Cao Yong's body was left upstairs like this. Yinhu and the three left Linggu Temple in the dark and found an inn to stay. After closing the doors and windows, Yinhu opened the sachet given by Cao Yong and found a piece of paper and A key with a white tassel.

Opening the paper, Cao Yong's handsome handwriting came into view, and the content inside was really unheard of: "The servant Liansheng nodded, Liansheng knew that he was incompetent, and could not repay the huge debt he owed. He had to pay for it with his life. There is the Bai Mansion, whose young master is named Lan, who is actually my youngest brother, and my father’s youngest son. I only hope that the emperor will protect the younger brother in my father’s face. All the things the emperor wants to know are all related to him alone. Please learn from the emperor .”

After reading it, Yinhu couldn't laugh or cry. Where did Cao Yin appear as a "young son" again?There is a "young son" and it is still necessary to adopt Cao Rui to succeed Jiangning weaving?But Cao Yong exchanged his life and handed the note to himself... Yinhu looked at the key in his hand: "Suzhou Bai Family? This Cao Yin actually raised an outer room so far away..."

The next day, Yinhu set off for Suzhou, and at this time, the murder case of Linggu Temple had already reached Yinzhen's ears, and he was immediately blown away. This person was clearly Cao Yong who was missing and reported his death. check!Find out what happened, why he became a monk, and why he was assassinated in the Buddhist scripture pavilion.The death of Cao Yong gave Yinzhen a breakthrough.

Prince Yong did not build it. It took only a few days to find out that when Cao Yong was in charge of weaving in Jiangning, the prefect of Yangzhou and several political envoys, including the governor of Jiangsu, visited his yamen frequently and tortured him. After a few slaves, they confessed that several adults had threatened Cao Yong to hand over something, and Cao Yong was driven into panic all day long by them. One day, after the adults drank the tea served by the servants, they found that they had been drugged and lost their voice.Even more panicked, and then disappeared.

All the interrogations were conducted in secret. On the bright side, he still let Yinzhen play Tai Chi with the local officials in front, so that everyone was confused by Yinzhen's frail appearance, while he secretly set up a net to catch all these officials.Time moved slowly to May, and he still wanted to settle the matter before Huang Ama left the palace to escape the summer heat, so as to make him a great contribution.

But who knows, just when he was about to collect his nets for fishing, Yinhu saw that the victory was in sight, but he was in vain. There was indeed a Bai family ten miles away from Panmen in Suzhou, but only once, and now there is no more. Yes, the whole family has changed their owners. As for the original young master of the Bai family, he sold his property a few months ago and disappeared with his book case, piano bag and a small piano boy.

Yinhu is stupid, which one is this?According to the description of the neighbors nearby, this young master Bai lived with his mother since he was a child, and he is indeed an outhouse raised by an official family. Someone gives them living expenses every month. In the past few years, he occasionally saw an old and a young official dressed up people come as guests.

But, no matter how carefully said, this Young Master Bai has disappeared, how can he explain to Huang Ama?Cao Yong died, and the younger brother who appeared suddenly disappeared again.What's the deal with this errand?
