Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 77 The flood washed the Dragon King Temple

Deputy Wang said: "Come on. I, an official of Qingshui, managed to earn five thousand silver notes from you, so I didn't bother to inquire about the identity of your boss! Your boss is the chief minister of the cabinet and I have nothing to do with it. I will announce the invalidation of Yanyin tomorrow. Post it. Goodbye!"

Li Dana said: "Don't worry, Deputy Wang can leave after using the food."

But Deputy Wang said meaningfully: "Farewell, Qibuchangchangsan is buried in the good wine and dishes of your Sifang teahouse! Isn't Master Wu the one who got lost because of your Qibuchangsan? Goodbye Bar."

Deputy Wang resorted to Sifang Teahouse.In the darkness, three pairs of eyes were staring at him.

The three people who were watching were He Liu, Lao Hu, and Baihu, the gatekeeper of the governor's yamen.The hundred gatekeepers see the important figures in the Jiangnan officialdom every day, and they are familiar with the looks of all the officials in the Jiangnan.

He Liu made up his mind to thoroughly investigate the shortage of salt affairs, but Hu Zongxian still gave him some convenience.For example, He Liu can call anyone in the governor's yamen at will.

Baihu, the gatekeeper, said to He Liu, "My superior, that man is Wang Zhenhao, deputy envoy of Salt Transport."

He Liudao: "Are you careful?"

Hundreds of households guarding the gate said: "On the job, what the villain does is to recognize people at the gate of the yamen. It is said that the official position of the visiting official is wrong, but it will be boarded! It can't be wrong, it is Wang Zhenhao, the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport! This person seems to be The disciples of Gao Gong, Minister of the Household Department, have no real power in the Yanyun Yamen."

He Liu was startled: a man from King Yu?Why are people from King Yu also related to Sifang Tea House?

Didn't the members of the royalist party always boast that they are all pure and clear?How come there are corrupt officials in Yu Wang's party?
He Liu changed his mind: The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons were different.In each camp of the imperial court, there are greedy and mediocre officials, and there are also upright officials who can do things.Among the strict party is a good official Hu Zongxian.It is not uncommon for Yuwang Party to have a corrupt official.

At noon the next day, the Lianghuai Salt Transport Yamen posted a notice canceling the 53 dan of salt in He Liu's hands.

When the wrestlers under his command told He Liu the news, He Liuzheng and Lao Hu were playing chess in the palace of the imperial envoy.

He Liu threw the chess piece on the chessboard: "Oh, it seems that Deputy Wang did something for Li Dana."

Old Hu said: "Everyone in the imperial court knows that the Deputy Envoy of Salt Transport has no real power. Wu Liangyong has just been imprisoned, and Yan Maoqing has not yet completed the handover. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. This Deputy Wang is quite good at seizing opportunities." money's."

He Liudao: "Abolishing Yanyin is not reselling Yanyin. Deputy Wang's money is very limited. Pity this Deputy Wang. In front of an official who has no money. It's so easy to get a little money. He was caught by our Jin Yiwei again."

Old Hu said: "Let's go, sixth son, let's go to the gate of the Yanyun Yamen and see the invalidation notice."

He Liu and Lao Hu came to the gate of Yanyun Yamen.

A notice was pasted outside the gate of the yamen, announcing that there were dozens of salt merchants, big and small, around.

A salt merchant said with emotion: "Over 50 tans of salt are invalidated at once? It's really unheard of in ancient times."

Another salt merchant smiled and said, "Didn't you see the serial number? They were all sold last year without the hands of the Salt Chamber of Commerce. Maybe they were resold privately. What's wrong?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is at the entrance of the Yanyun Yamen! Let the people in the Yamen hear it. Will you, a serious salt merchant, still do serious business in the future?"

"A serious salt merchant? A serious business? I wish to be a private salt dealer who resells illegal salt! They make more money than us! Unfortunately, we filed a record with the Salt Transport Yamen and the Salt Merchants Association. We all know that we are serious. Merchant, Sifang Teahouse dare not sell us Yanyin!"

He Liu and Lao Hu were listening to the complaints from the salt merchants, when suddenly, several strong men walked up to them.Two Francophone guns were placed on the waists of the two men.

"Be honest! My pistol broke the fire door! You can't live if the gun rang! Come with us!"

Several strong men brought Lao Hu and He Liu into an alley.

One of the leaders took out two portraits and carefully compared their appearances: "It's unmistakable, it's them! Let's go, take them to Sifang Tea House!"

He Liu said: "May I ask which road you all are heroes? Can you tell me the way down?"

The leading strong man walked up to He Liu: "You are a liar looking for death. How dare you inquire about the origins of the gentlemen? Okay, I will tell you. Jinyiwei Nanjing stays behind the yamen!"

After speaking, the strong man took out a waist card.This badge is different from the badges of Jinyi Weinan and Beizhen Fusi.The badges of Fusi in Nan and Beizhen are round, but the badges of left-behind yamen in Nanjing are rectangular.

The brawny man said: "I am the Jinyiwei Nanjing left-behind yamen Lu Zhenfu envoy Lu Zhen, who is personally accompanying the general banner Zhang Gan!"

He Liu and Lao Hu looked at each other and smiled.

He Liu said to Zhang Zongqi: "The waist card, I also have one, it's on the waist. Master Zhang, don't you want to see it?"

"You also have a waist card? Don't tell me you are also a member of the yamen?"

As Zhang Zongqi said, he took out a badge from He Liu's waist.

I saw the big words "Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi inspected hundreds of households" on the big book.

Zhang Zongqi's face turned green: "North, Beizhen Fusi? Check hundreds of households? Are you—the sixth master?"

Old Hu said: "Look, the family doesn't know the whole family anymore. The general banner of Jinyiwei Nanjing left behind the yamen captured the sixth Taibao in Beizhen Fusi. Heh, you want to say that Lu Zhenfu envoy of Nanjing Jinyiwei saw Our Baihu adults still have to honorably call him 'Six Masters'!"

He Liu is the sixth child in the [-]th Taibao of Jinyiwei.Lu Da, the head of Nanjing Jinyiwei, was not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Thirteenth Taibao.What's more, it was a small general banner under Lu Da who caught He Liu?

Zhang Zongqi fell to He Liu's knees with a "thump": "My sixth master! The villain is blinded by eating shit! He deserves death! Your old man has a lot of adults, and the adults don't count the faults of the villains..."

He Liu waved his hand: "There's no need to talk nonsense. You just need to tell me who told you to arrest me!"

Zhang Zongqi said: "There was a fraud case in Yangzhou City. Our Lu Zhenfu ordered me to bring [-] brothers to Yangzhou to handle the case. The one who was deceived was Li the shopkeeper of the Sifang Tea House. We brought a painter from the yamen here. Based on the description of the shopkeeper Li, he drew a portrait of the liar's hand. The shopkeeper Li told us that the liar's hand is likely to go to the Yanyun Yamen gate to read the notice. Let us take the portrait and squat at the Yanyun Yamen gate. If not, I will send you The two masters were arrested. It’s really not the villain’s fault! It’s just the fault that the two masters look so much like those two swindlers!”

He Liu was shocked again.Although Nanjing Jinyiwei is not as powerful as Beijing Jinyiwei.But in the Jiangnan officialdom, there are not many people who can be messed with.Li Dana, a shopkeeper of a teahouse, is able to drive Nanjing Jinyiwei like a cow and a horse?

Could it be that Li Dana is a character like Ding Wang?

Or, the identity of the "owner" behind Li Dana is extraordinary?

He Liu said to Zhang Zongqi: "There are too many people who look alike in this world! It's just a fraud case. It's managed by the Yangzhou government! What's the mess with you all here? Go back to Nanjing!"
