Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 137
Old Hu asked the short and fat man: "I don't know if my brother is here to help, how many incense sticks to burn? What is your name?"

The short and fat man cupped his hands and said, "I'm the incense master of Qingyun Hall, Lin Dasheng!"

The Cao Gang claimed that the 30 Gang managed [-] canal laborers.Naturally, among the [-] gang members, there are internal agents sent by the government to monitor them.Similarly, many people in the government were bribed and secretly joined the Cao Gang.

Although Lao Hu was wearing an official uniform, Lin Dasheng believed that he was his own senior from the Cao Gang who broke into the government.

Lao Hu was surprised when he heard the words "Qingyuntang Xiangzhu".

The Green Gang has a leader.Under the main helm, there are eight halls, sixteen meetings, and 32 sub-rudders.Qingyun Hall is the first of the eight halls.That is to say, this Lin Dasheng is a member of the Green Gang, second only to the gang leader, deputy gang leader, and the five chief rudder veterans!It can be said that there are under seven people and more than 6 people.

Old Hu cupped his hands: "It turned out to be Master Lin Xiang, sorry for your disrespect! I'm going up and down, trying my best to get you out of prison within three days!"

Lin Dasheng cupped his hands and said, "Then there will be old Lao Lao!"

Old Hu changed the subject and cut to the point: "I have been working in Gongmen for a long time, so I don't know much about the affairs of the gang. What are you doing in Taizhou with dozens of firecrackers?"

Lin Dasheng suddenly became vigilant: "Since the old man is not in the gang for the time being, don't ask too much about the affairs of the gang, right? They are all brothers in the family anyway, and the money you send up and down will be compensated by the gang. Go up. Just get us out of this cell first."

Lao Hu nodded: "I'm being rude! I shouldn't ask too many questions. Okay, then I'll take my leave first!"

He Liu and Lao Hu get out of prison.

He Liu asked: "Old Hu, what did you mean by talking a lot of nonsense just now? Why did the criminals take you as their own after hearing your nonsense?"

Lao Hu told He Liu all about the affairs of the Cao Gang.

He Liu was puzzled: "I remember my father told me when he was alive that you would follow him after entering Jinyiwei. When did you go to the Cao Gang again as an internal response?"

Old Hu smiled: "Heh, before I told your father, I went to the Cao Gang as an internal response. I was ordered by Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant during the Zhengde period. Don't say that your father didn't know about it. know about it."

He Liu sighed: "I really don't know how many secrets I don't know about you old man."

Old Hu said: "People, there are always a few secrets. What's more, our Jinyiwei is doing secret errands, and there are even more secrets on our backs."

He Liu and Lao Hu came to the dining room.The old magistrate Fan has already prepared a reception banquet for them.

After drinking half of the wine, Prefect Fan said apologetically, "I'm old, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, I suffered from dizziness. Please allow me to go to the back office to rest."

He Liu nodded: "Prefect Fan, please help yourself."

As soon as Fan Zhifu left, Lao Hu said to He Liu, "It's really strange."

He Liu asked, "What's so strange?"

Old Hu said: "Trafficing dozens of firecrackers, why does He Laocao, the head of the Qingyun Hall, Xiangzhu, go out in person?"

He Liu took a sip of his wine: "Why, is the incense master of Qingyun Hall high in the Cao Gang?"

Old Hu laughed and said: "You don't know Cao Gang! Let's put it this way, Lin Dasheng, the incense master of Qingyun Hall, has [-] gang members! The poor laborers in charge will not pay [-]!"

He Liu was speechless: "My God, he manages more people than Qi Jiguang."

Lao Hu nodded: "The incense master of Qingyuntang has a high status in the Cao Gang. Just send dozens of firecrackers and assign his subordinates to do it."

He Liudao: "Old Hu, how do you think we will interrogate the 20 or so criminals next? Is it soft or hard?"

"Soft" and "hard" are the jargon used by Jin Yiwei to interrogate prisoners. "Ruan" means to induce a confession, that is, Lao Hu continued to pretend to be the members of the Qing Gang and set their words.

"Hard" means heavy punishment.

Old Hu said: "Then Lin Dasheng is very tight-lipped. I'm afraid you can't do it softly. You can only come hard. Fortunately, before you came to Zhejiang, you borrowed the 'tight hoop spell' from Zhao Ci."

This curse is a new instrument of torture made by the old twelve Zhao Ci.As the name suggests, this thing is carried on the head of the person.Inside the tight hoop, there are twelve steel needles as thin as a hair.Each steel needle corresponds to an acupuncture point on the head.After being tied, the prisoner will be in so much pain that he cannot wish for death.

Zhao Ci gave He Liushi a magic spell, and once told him: "This instrument of torture is too shady, don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary, Amitabha, it hurts yin virtue!"

Zhao Ci's words made He Liu laugh out loud: "Old Twelve, the sinful virtues of our Jinyiwei people are all enough to go to the [-]th floor of hell. I don't care about losing this point!"

The two were talking, when there was a sudden message outside the door: Shao Ying, the general banner of Fusi General Banner of Jinyiwei North Town, has arrived!
He Liu and Lao Hu were surprised for a while: "What is he doing in Jiangnan?"

Shao Ying is only 20 years old, but he is the personal banner of Commander Lu Bing.Lu Bing attached great importance to him.People in Fusi in Nan and Bei Towns all said that in time, Shao Ying would surely be among the Thirteen Taibao.

Shao Ying was a tall man, entered the dining room, he cupped his hands towards He Liu and Lao Hu: "My subordinates pay homage to Master Liu, Master Hu!"

He Liu asked: "When you come to Jiangnan, it must be that Commander Lu has an urgent errand and asked you to tell us."

Shao Yingdao: "It's not an errand, but please Liu Ye to choose someone. Two days ago, the emperor suddenly asked if someone could fill his vacancy after Jin Wanguan died of a sudden illness. Commander Lu came back from Yongshou Palace, Just think about this matter. He plans to change the ranking of the Thirteen Taibao, and from the [-] trial households in Fusi in the South and North Towns, he will fill in one as the Thirteen Taibao."

He Liudao: "Isn't that simple? Jin Yiwei's rules for selecting the Taibao have always been that the boss leaves the post and the second is the second. The ranking will be raised one place, the fourth Jiang Yan will become the third, and the fifth Han Junchen will become the fourth... . Just line them up one by one.”

Shao Ying said: "Commander Lu doesn't intend to follow the old rules. He intends to ask you twelve Taibao Lords to nominate a person who can succeed Jin Wanguan. He will determine Jin Wanguan's successor according to the amount of support he receives. "

Old Hu said from the side: "This is really strange! Isn't this the twelve eunuchs electing a successor for Jin Wanguan?"

He Liu's heart skipped a beat: In Jinyiwei, Beizhen Fushi has always been the boss of the Thirteenth Taibao.Fushi Nanzhen is the second child.The governors of the South and the North were transferred or dismissed, and the position was filled by the youngest of the Thirteenth Taibao.There is another one of the Southern and Northern Governors who can become the successor of the Jinyiwei Commander - that is to say, whoever can sit in the third place in the Thirteenth Taibao will be the third successor of the Jinyiwei Commander .

Deep down in his heart, He Liu longed to be the commander of Jinyiwei.Only in this way can he use the secret files in the Tianzihao stalls to find out the ins and outs of the Yinbing case 20 years ago.
