Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 84

Lu Da looked at the medicine bottle in He Liu's hand: "He Liu, if I, the Nanjing Jinyiwei Zhenfu, are poisoned to death by you, I'm afraid you will be responsible too!"

He Liu smiled: "This boat is all my people. Who saw that I poisoned you to death? You died, I just threw your body into the river to feed the fish."

Lu Da sat down on the chair in frustration.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to He Liu, picked up the crab-picking knife and laid it across He Liu's neck.

Old Hu shouted: "Girl, what are you doing? You have something to say."

Bai Xiaoyan whispered in He Liu's ear, "Master Liu, please give Master Lu the antidote."

He Liu looked at Bai Xiaoyan in astonishment: "It's unexpected that you are from Lu Da's side."

The knife in Bai Xiaoyan's hand tightened, and a line of blood immediately appeared on He Liu's neck.

He Liu said: "Miss Bai, this knife is small, but it can kill people! If my neck is broken, you won't be able to get out of this cabin."

Bai Xiaoyan said: "I'm sorry, Sixth Master. Compared to those men who are trying to sleep with me, you are a good person. Unfortunately, there is a person who has nurtured me. He asked me to deal with you, and I can only do it .”

Lu Da laughed loudly and said, "Didn't expect that, He Liu! The woman who slept with you in the past few days belongs to us! Give me the antidote, otherwise, you will die with me!"

A cold light flashed in Lao Hu's eyes suddenly!
This person who is known as the most incompetent person in Jinyiwei, this person who claims to have no martial arts, suddenly took out a throwing knife from his waist. "Shua~" The flying knife hit Bai Xiaoyan on the back of her hand.

"Ah!" Bai Xiaoyan was stabbed in the back of her hand.Letting go of his hand, the knife fell to the ground with a "clang".

More than a dozen wrestlers rushed forward and immediately tied Lu Da and Bai Mengyan into rice dumplings.

He Liu looked at Lao Hu in surprise.

I was brought up by Lao Hu.When he was a child, Lao Hu even washed diapers for himself.

But he never knew that Lao Hu still had this skill!
He Liu asked Lao Hu in surprise: "Old Hu, when did you have such means?"

Old Hu smiled foolishly: "I'm ashamed, old six. I haven't hit anyone with a throwing knife in decades. I was afraid of flying just now, so I nailed it directly on your neck. I will have no face at that time." To meet your dead father."

He Liu turned his head and ordered the warrior: "Use Black Jade Ointment to stop the bleeding of Miss Bai, and bandage the wound."

Lishi took the order and bandaged Bai Xiaoyan's wound.Lao Hu also seems to have a heart of pity and sympathy.The strength of his throwing knife was just right.The flying knife accurately hit the back of Bai Xiaoyan's hand, but it didn't go deep into the flesh.

He Liu walked up to Lu Da: "Master Lu, you still have a few moments. After a few moments, you will bleed to death from Qikong. You said that you, the dignified head of Jinyiwei in Nanjing, died in a bowl of puffer fish soup Come on, will it make people laugh to death if it spreads?"

Lu Da sighed: "He Liu, today I fell into your hands, I admit it! You are too good at disguising. I thought you were just a money-grubbing, gambling, and lustful guy, so easy to deal with..."

He Liu smiled: "I'm greedy for money, but I'm not greedy for ill-gotten gains. I'm a man, and I'm also lustful. But I never sleep with women who don't want to sleep with me!"

Lu Da closed his eyes: "What do you want to know, just tell me."

He Liu taunted Lu Da: "The envoy Lu Zhen knows well how to keep the green hills, and he is not afraid of having no firewood. Let me ask you, are you one of the six largest private salt dealers in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Lu Zhenfu nodded: "Yes."

He Liu asked again: "Who are the other five?"

Lu Da glanced at He Liu: "He Liu, even if you know who those five people are, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to touch them."

He Liu said impatiently: "Professor Lu Zhen, don't be fooled. Be careful that the pufferfish poison will show up early."

Lu Da said: "The first one is Zheng Michang, governor of Zhejiang!"

He Liu gasped.Zheng Michang is one of the cadres of the strict party, but he is greedy for fame.But a majestic governor of Zhejiang, the highest official sent by the imperial court to a province in Zhejiang, turned out to be a private salt dealer?

He Liu smiled: "Lu Da, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Lu Da chuckled and said, "I'm already a dying person, and a dying person speaks well. I can't lie to you."

He Liu asked, "What about the second one?"

Lu Da said: "Yang Jinshui, the eunuch of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the chief eunuch of the Zhejiang Shipping Department!"

He Liu's complexion changed: "Lu Da, you don't want an antidote, do you? Move people out of the palace to scare me? Want me to get out of trouble?"

Yang Jinshui, the adopted son of Lu Fang, who was in charge of the Li Supervisor.The eunuch with the highest official position in the south of the Yangtze River was stationed in the palace.

Lu Da said: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Private salt is a piece of fat. How could that Eunuch Yang not be tempted by such a big piece of fat?"

He Liu said, "Where is the third person?"

Lu Da laughed and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me when I talk about the third person! This person's reputation for incorruptibility is the best in the south of the Yangtze River, but it's a pity that he is trying to sell dog meat."

Old Hu scolded at the side: "Your surname is Lu, don't talk nonsense, tell me who it is!"

Lu Da said: "Governor of Nanzhili, Zhao Zhenji!"

He Liu and Lao Hu gasped at the same time.

Zhao Zhenji?The student of Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, the confidant of Prince Yu, one of the leaders of Qingliu, and the person with the best official reputation in Jiangnan.

Such a well-known upright official is actually one of the six largest private salt dealers in the south of the Yangtze River?

He Liu said to Lu Da: "Lu Da, just talk! Now, do you want to say that the fourth person is King Yu, the fifth person is the emperor? The sixth person is yourself?"

Lu Da shook his head: "The fourth person is Zhang Jin, Minister of the Nanjing Household Department."

After Emperor Yongle moved his capital to Beijing, he set up six departments in Beijing and six departments in Nanjing.Nanjing No. 40 is a well-known old-age government office with no real power.However, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing is still an dignified second-rank official.A senior official of the second rank is a private salt dealer?What's more, Zhang Jin is the emperor's favorite person and belongs to the emperor's disciple.The emperor asked him, who was less than [-] years old, to be the Minister of the Nanjing Household Department, but he was only gilded so that he could be transferred to the Sixth Department of Beijing as a hall official in the future.

Such a promising official of the second rank actually sells private salt?
Lu Da continued: "The fifth person is Hu Anmin, the commander of the River Patrol Battalion."

The river patrol battalion is in charge of dozens of patrol stations on both sides of the Grand Canal. Hu Anmin, the commander, has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses under his command.The backer behind this person is Lu Bing, the commander of Jin Yiwei!At the beginning, Lu Bing recommended him to Zhang Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, so that he could become the commander of the river patrol battalion.

He Liu gasped.Originally, he thought that the six major private salt dealers were some quack figures.How could he have imagined that the six private salt dealers were all high-ranking court officials!

These six people belonged to the Yan Party, the Eun Party, the Yuwang Party, and the Jinyiwei Quartet, and they were able to live in harmony in the matter of selling private salt, and they formed a salt gang. . . . .He Liuwan couldn't believe it was true.
