Princess Fuyao

Chapter 87
Han Chen came from the secret prison of Dali Temple. He interrogated all the people he caught last night.The guys from the Zhang family, who see money only for profit, can't continue the profiteering business in northern Xinjiang, so they have to go to the capital to find Zhang Chengyi, who was one step ahead.Zhang Chengyi is an honest man, and was soon tricked out by these people about what to do for a living. When the Zhang family heard that a restaurant could earn thousands of taels of silver a month, they couldn't help being jealous. It happened that there was such a restaurant in Xiao Hui's family. It’s just that the scale and reputation are not enough, especially the dishes are very popular, without any special features. The Zhang family had eaten there before, and knew that the income there was very limited, so they decided to either take down the Xiao’s shop, or partner or lease it.After they came, Zhang Chengyi once cooked a large plate of chicken. This delicious and affordable way of eating meat and vegetables made them see a business opportunity.The Xiao family was very rascal. At first they agreed to join the Zhang family as a joint stock company. After the Zhang family paid out money to renovate the store, they suddenly changed their minds and wanted to lease it out. The price was twice as high as that of the adjacent store.The Zhang family didn't want to see it, but now they have already boarded the pirate ship, so they can't help it. It turns out that Xiao Hui was originally a gangster in the capital, and he was sent to the northern Xinjiang military camp after being injured. Who knew he met a "noble man" there ", actually climbed up, and made a fortune. The Xiao family bought this restaurant at a low price from a foreigner. Because of poor management, the business has not improved. Now it finally relies on the Zhang family, so, now The Xiao's restaurant in the Zhang family's hands, although there are plenty of customers, but they can't get much money, they are all taken away by the Xiao family.

People from the Zhang family couldn't offend the Xiao family, so they turned around to look for Zhang Chengyi. Unexpectedly, orphans and widows, Zhang Chengyi, who has always been quiet in the Zhang family, has such hard bones that he refuses to hand over the secret skill of roast duck even if he dies. Let the Xiao family know the Zhang family's whereabouts. They also hope that the restaurant will make more money, especially if they can dig out the unique skills of Ya Fu Lou, it will be a cornucopia. Xiao Hui's brother sent a few A thug wanted to threaten Zhang Chengyi, but he didn't want to be taken over by Fuyao and the others.

"Marshal, those people confessed. Xiao Hui brought twenty or thirty fighters who can fight and kick from northern Xinjiang to act as thugs in the mansion. The shops in the south of Guangji Street and east of Chenghuang Temple have to pay them a monthly fee, otherwise , do not open the door."

The Xiao family is still the boss of the underworld. After Han Chen finished speaking, he looked at Marshal He, wanting to ask if he should inform the City Defense Department to take the Xiao family under his wing.

"Go and find out if the Xiao family is in collusion with the Tartars."

"It must have been. Xiao Hui once delivered food to the tartars." Han Chen said anxiously.

"What the Marshal means is that you first send someone to closely monitor the Xiao family to find out what other evil deeds they have, especially if they colluded with the Tartars and were ordered by someone. Who is the ordering person? He is very close to an honorable official, or he is a thug of that family, otherwise, why has no one sued him these years, or why can't ordinary people sue him?"

"General Ji is right, General Han, please arrange it." Not long ago, Han Chen, Huang He and the others were given the rank of eighth-rank deputy general, and Marshal He called them generals.

Han Chen was still not used to it, so he felt a little shy before agreeing to go out and make arrangements.In fact, he had already done most of the work, and he didn't say it just now, just to take care of Marshal He's face.He didn't know why Marshal He's health was so poor, he thought he was tired and honed at the border.

Time passed quickly, and Fuyao was a little disappointed by the progress made by the Xiao family. They did not collude with the Tartars, nor did they seem to have contacts with any dignitaries in the capital.

From Huang He's side, there was good news that the Hongfei gang had their eyes on the Qian family, a grain household in the south of the Yangtze River.

"The Qian family belongs to the Imperial Merchant, and sometimes the food they transport is handed over to the household department." Fuyao thinks this is too important, robbing the Qian family's food is not an ordinary crime, and the Hongfei Gang don't want to mess around.

"Strict monitoring, if not possible, through the relationship, send a group of masters to escort secretly."

"It's not easy!" Huang He frowned, "The Qian family wants to ship it by sea, and the people we have in hand are all landlubbers."

"Then what should I do?" Fuyao felt that asking was useless, Huang He had a way, and still behaved like this?
Unexpectedly, Huang He gave a feasible plan with a sad face on his face: "Keep an eye on the Hongfei gang, even if they succeed, they can get it back. Now I need to inform the Qian family and do something about the food. For example, they The Qian family’s mark is on the top of the grain bag, this time, type it inside, or put a note that says Qian’s family in the bag, and it will be used as a voucher when the time comes.”

"Hahaha, okay, as long as the food comes ashore, the Hongfei gang will lose their advantage, and we will send people to catch them all." Fuyao laughed happily, and then reminded Huang He: "It's best to inquire in advance, Hongfei gang can do this. If there is a lot of food, who will be next? Is it the Tartar spies from the Dayong Dynasty who came to pick up the goods, or the Tartar people? "

"Hey, of course we won't let them go." Huang He also became "ghost" now.

General Guo's secret letter arrived. He arrested Xiao Hui and pried out another big pest in northern Xinjiang, General Wang Wenxian, the leader of the Chinese army.Xiao Hui sent away the soldiers who helped him do bad things a long time ago, thinking that General Guo would not be able to catch him, so he refused to admit the crime he committed, and even insisted that no one ordered him, but Wang Wenxian admitted that he was the victim Liang Bingwang, King of Zhenbei, instructed to transport food to the Tartars, but did not receive any gold, silver or items from the Tartars.

Marshal Guo did not have a secret channel to send the news directly to the emperor. If it was delivered in the form of a memorial, the cabinet would not be able to escape, and the secret could no longer be called a secret.

Marshal He took General Guo's secret letter and immediately ordered Fuyao to arrest Cheng Dewei, while he hurried into the palace.

Although there is only one piece of direct evidence for Liang Bingwang, the emperor has become suspicious of him, which is enough to arrest him.What's more, there are so many obscure evidences that Emperor Jiaming immediately ordered the guard battalion to gather immediately and seize the Zhenbei Palace.

The last time Yao Guangyu was raided, Aunt Huo escaped. This time, Fuyao was worried that something might happen, so he asked Han Chen to take someone with him to have a look.They also belong to the bodyguard battalion now, and as expected, as soon as they asked Marshal He for instructions, they immediately got permission. Marshal He personally invited the belt badges for bodyguards from King Xian, and Fuyao happily disguised himself as a soldier, preparing to Set off.

"Yinhu, hurry up!" Looking at the tall and straight figure standing motionless in the yard, Duhu thought he didn't know, so he happily ran over to pull his arm, but he didn't expect his face to be particularly ugly.

"What's the matter with you? Are you sick?"

"Search the news about the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Facing Hei's cold face that dripped water, not to mention Duhu, even Fuyao who stood aside was stunned: "How can I tell you the emperor's order just now?"

"What is the news that made the emperor suddenly make up his mind? Liang Bingwang's suspicion was also very serious a few times ago. Didn't the emperor let him go?"

"The previous few times, the evidence was insufficient. This time, General Guo caught the corrupt official from the northern Xinjiang military camp. The man confessed himself. The confession and the stolen goods were all sent to the palace. Those criminals will also be escorted to the palace soon. Beijing." Fuyao answered for Dahu.

"Why didn't you tell me the news in advance?" Yinhu turned to Fuyao, very displeased.

"I, I," Fuyao stomped his feet angrily, "Marshal Guo's secret letter was sent directly to Marshal He in eight hundred miles. I only received an order to arrest Cheng Dewei. How could I know what the secret letter was written in?"

"Are you still lying to me now? Who doesn't know that there is a special secret method for writing letters between you and Marshal Guo, and outsiders can't understand the letter even if they hold it."

Fuyao didn't understand what happened to Yinhu, didn't he really hate Liang Bingwang?Fuyao suddenly suspected that her previous observations and conclusions were wrong. Seeing that Yinhu was still staring at her like that, she explained angrily: "The secret method is actually very simple. I told Marshal He a long time ago." After speaking, she turned around and stopped. Talk to Yinhu, leaving this guy alone in the yard with a dark face and sulking.

Seeing that Fuyao was so angry, Han Chen kindly walked with her. Yinhu saw it from behind and became even more angry, running over and squeezing between them.

"The road is so wide, it's crowded, it's not hot." Han Chen was a little unhappy.

Yinhu sullenly hoped that Fuyao could apologize to him, if the emperor hadn't been too angry today, his business would have been settled, this delay, I don't know how long it will be.

Fuyao is still a bit dazed at the moment, the news came too suddenly, although Liang Bingwang was responsible for the previous detection, but those things always seemed to be covered with a veil, and it was not very clear, why the twists and turns Son wins?

Seeing Fuyao's absent-minded look and ignoring him at all, Yinhu became even angrier: "Hmph! You will regret it one day."

But Fuyao turned to Han Chen and said, "It's too easy. Do you think Liang Bingwang will not be defeated? He is still very powerful in the court. Will someone come to the emperor to complain and excuse him? Especially when Marshal Guo exposed him, will it remind people of the struggle between Qinggui and Xungui?"

"Hey! It's very possible, so it's best to find solid evidence today." Han Chen said old-fashionedly.
