Idle courtiers

Chapter 319 Another Old Move

Gong Qing had been busy all night and she was startled by Mrs. Yuan, so she was about to leave in despair.

Suddenly, someone beside him said leisurely: "Don't you think it's a pity that Gong Yushi left like this?"

Looking back under the dim light, it was Zhou Nan's mocking face.

Gong Qing had nowhere to vent her anger, and shouted: "Master Zhou, you haven't explained your problem yet? You and everyone on your boat will go to the post with me."

Zhou Nan: "I would like to go with the adults."

It was beyond Gong Qing's expectation that he was so straightforward.

Zhou Nan then chuckled again and said, "Master Yuan just now has a problem, don't you want to check it out? I feel sorry for you, Mr. Yuan. If you promise a great achievement that can shock the court and the emperor, just let it go." pass?"

The word "achievements" made Gong Qing's ears shrug, and she unconsciously asked, "What's the problem? Is it because there are no eunuchs to pick up the boat?"

"Yes, this is just one of them. The lower official suspects that this ship of money is not the emperor's internal money at all, but the military salary raised by his Yan Ge to the front line in Fujian privately, and it was obtained through the salt department. Think about it, my lord. What kind of crime is this? As long as the silver boat is sealed, Yan Ge's old party will jump out, and the court will investigate." Zhou Nan grinned softly.

Finally, the fox's tail was exposed, and Yan Song's source of income was finally found, which turned out to be through Yan Maoqing's hand.

The memory of the history of Ming Dynasty that Zhou Nan had seen before came back. Just after Mr. Yuan revealed his identity just now, he connected all the clues he had at hand and came to this conclusion.

Speaking of it, this Gong Qing was also unlucky, Zhou Nan stepped on Yan Song's head when he stepped on me, maybe it will be bad luck in the future.

Could it be that I, Zhou Nan, really have my own bad luck buff, whoever touches who is worse?

Miss me, Zhou Zimu, why is it such a persona?
Pointing to Wu Xinhua in the distance, he said: "That man is Wu Xinhua, a fellow villager of the official, a salt merchant. A while ago, Yan Maoqing abolished the salt quotations in previous years, but sent Lianghuai salt merchants to Jiangnan to plan Li. The money has naturally turned into military expenses, and maybe it has also filled the private pockets of Mr. Yan Ge. Selling private salt will require decapitation. I think Mr. Gong knows better than me what to do next."

Gong Qing looked awe-inspiring: "This..."

Zhou Nan showed a seductive smile: "Master Gong is worried about the retaliation of the strict party. In fact, you are too worried. You are just doing routine work. Wait until you pretend that you don't know the origin of this ship's official bank is unknown. Just find an excuse and wait for the relevant people on the ship to wait." Detain it, and then seal the silver boat. Yan party's ship is detained, and someone will naturally jump out. Seeing the reaction of the chief minister so fiercely, the gentleman in the court must have doubts in his heart. From now on, I will not care about your business."

He continued to induce: "If the chief assistant survives this catastrophe smoothly, there is no reason to seek bad luck for you. If the imperial court runs a strict party, you are the first. No matter how you look at it, Gong Yushi, you will make a steady profit and not accompany you."

The older Gong Qing gets, the more enthusiastic she is about fame and fortune.Thinking about it, I have been in the position of censor for so many years, and I guess it will still be like this in the future. My career has already hit a transparent ceiling.

If you want to go to another level, you must use extraordinary means.

Regarding Zhou Nan's proposal, he agreed in his heart.

"Zhou Xingren, who are you as an official? Fame and benefits are like floating clouds. As a military official, I have a duty to punish traitors. Don't judge others by yourself. However, there are many soldiers on this ship, and there will be trouble later. "

Zhou Nan sneered in his heart, looking at Gong Qing's face full of desire for power, we are all the same person, whoever can deceive the other, don't pretend.

You say no verbally, but your body is honest?
"Don't worry, Yu Shi, I have my own way."

Zhou Nan took Gong Qing's hand and boarded the silver boat again.

Seeing that the two were still in a huddle before, and now they are so intimate, Feng Yudao was taken aback: "Pedestrian, Gong Yushi...go and come back, what else can I teach you?"

Zhou Nan laughed: "Master Gong Qing and I can't make a deal, Deputy Commander Feng, let me ask you, why did you, the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military Division, come to escort the emperor's money? Who ordered it?"

Feng Yudao: "The commander gave the order, and I brought the soldiers and horses here. It is also my duty to obey the order!"

Zhou Nan and Gong Qing looked at each other, and they knew it in their hearts.They have already confirmed that the money is not the emperor's money, otherwise, who would dare to talk too much if they directly sent eunuchs and Jin Yiwei to escort it?
Because of this, there are many yamen in the capital, and anyone can intervene in local affairs.If so much money is transported to the capital, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and it must be escorted by someone.

Dongcheng soldiers and horses are responsible for the security from the capital to Tongzhou, so it is best for their people to escort them.

It seems that the commander of Dongcheng Bingma Division is Yan Song's, and Deputy Commander Feng is still kept in the dark.

Zhou Nan was relieved now, and whispered in his ear: "Just wait and watch, don't say anything, don't do anything. I will recommend you as a general in front of Xu Cifu. Don't worry, Yushi and I are just doing business, we will never touch a piece of silver on the ship. We just need to let the silver ship stay at this pier for two days."

"What!" Feng Yudao was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly whispered: "Thank you for your support, I know what to do."

He voluntarily transferred to Ji Town as a military officer to get promoted and make a fortune. The rank of soldiers and horses in Wucheng is low, and even in the past, he could not be a high-ranking official.Now that Zhou Nan has promised him a general, that is a great opportunity.As long as Mr. Xu Ge said a word, it was a trivial matter.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military positions of the border town army from bottom to top were defense, garrison, military equipment, general, guerrilla, and governor.If you become a general, you will be squeezed into the ranks of senior officers.

Otherwise, with his grade and connections, he would never even think about reaching that step in this life.

Seeing that Zhou Nan and Deputy Commander Feng had agreed, Gong Qing waved her sleeves.

Feng Yudao bowed slightly and went down to make arrangements.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Gong and Tuesday strode into the cabin.

"Why are you here again? What exactly do you want?" Master Yuan was annoyed, and shouted: "Master Gong, Master Zhou, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Zhou Nan smiled and pointed to Gong Qing beside him,

Gong Qing held out her hand and stretched it out to Master Yuan: "Bring it here."

Master Yuan: "What are you taking?"

Gong Qing: "Official certificates, permits, and customs clearance documents."

Zhou Nan almost groaned, "Master Gong Yushi, can't you change to a new trick if you want to punish people? Do you still want to do this?"

Master Yuan: "Why should I give it to you?"

"It's based on the emperor's law and the imperial court's system." Gong Qing said majesticly: "I recently accepted someone for bail, and someone pretended to be an official in the post to cheat food and drink. I doubt your identity. !"

Yuan Dao was so angry that he was about to spit out blood. As an official of the Salt Department, the Yandao Yamen is the richest institution in the world, so he has never been short of money.

He basically doesn't use Yuan's salary, and basically doesn't touch his wife. As for cheating on food and drink?
