The Most Powerful Man in the World

Wei Min raised his glass and saluted the other party: "Brother Mo, what I'm worried about is not whether the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard can be burned down, I'm just worried about how the castrated thief Chu Yi will react if the fire burns down. "

Li Li drank the wine in one gulp and said coldly, "I think that the castrated thief will definitely be pissed off. If you want to open the sea, then we have to see if we agree."

A man next to him put the wine glass down and said with murderous intent, "If it wasn't for the unfathomable cultivation of the robber, and if there were experts from Dongchang and Jinyiwei around him, the old man would have killed the robber with his death!"

Li Mo said slowly: "Burning the shipyard is just the first step, as long as Chu Yi doesn't die, a mere shipyard can't stop Chu Yi's determination to open the sea, so I have to find a way to kill Chu Yi. "

Wei Min, who was on the side, looked at Mo Li and said, "Brother Mo, how is the connection with the one in Nanchang City? Is there any answer!"

Mo Li stroked his beard and said with a slight smile in his eyes: "The one who has always been ambitious, kept dead soldiers, and made armor and weapons privately, that is, the court doesn't know about it, even if we don't push it, that one Sooner or later, he will embark on the road of rebellion, and now I will join forces to promote it, even if he does not want to rebel."

Wei Min clapped his hands in admiration and said, "It's so good, as long as King Ning rebels and plays the banner of the Qing monarch, then the court will inevitably be in turmoil, and Chu Yi, who is the director of the lijian, will be the best scapegoat. Under the persecution of military officials and even the raging public opinion of the world, even the Son of Heaven would never want to protect Chu Yi, the castrated thief."

Speaking of which, Wei Min sneered, "Think about how Liu Jin collapsed. Just relying on him, Chu Yi, also wants to open the sea. It also depends on whether I agree or not!"

One person chuckled lightly: "You can rest assured, Duke Muzhai is already in contact with the court and old times, just wait for King Ning to raise his army, and we can help King Ning enter the capital and kill the stupefied ruler, even if it is a castration. The thief Chu Yi has great ability, and without the support of Zhu Houzhao, he would have no choice but to die."

Wei Min sighed softly: "Now I can only hope that King Ning can successfully rise up and enter the Beijing field, otherwise we can only take a risk and kill Chu Yi."

At this moment, the fire in the direction of Longjiang Pass was soaring into the sky. Wei Min, who was sitting on the high attic, saw the sky-high fire for the first time.

"Hahaha, there's a fire, look, the fire is soaring into the sky, and the Longjiang Bao Shipyard is completely over!"

Near Longjiang Pass, the people who were alerted all around also spontaneously came to fight the fire, but unfortunately the fire has spread and swallowed the huge Longjiang Bao Shipyard. If you want to get close to the treasure shipyard for dozens of feet, you will be burned by the rolling heat wave, and no one can get close.

A sedan chair stopped at the side of the treasure shipyard. Fan Heng got out of the sedan chair, and suddenly felt a heat wave coming. At a glance, the raging fire was burning violently, and the fire was soaring into the sky. Although it was old, it was a well-equipped Longjiang River. The treasure shipyard just disappeared in a fire.

Looking at the treasure shipyard in the fire, Fan Heng said to Li Ying with a cold look in his eyes: "Have you ever caught the arsonist?"

After such a fire, there must be an explanation. Li Ying had previously said that the person they sent to guard the Longjiang Bao Shipyard had fought with the person who set it on fire, so Fan Heng asked this question.

Li Ying nodded, then shook his head again and said, "Although a few people were caught, these people are obviously dead, and now they are just a few corpses."

Fan Heng was not surprised. If he could really catch the survivors, Fan Heng himself would not believe it. It is definitely not easy to send the dead to set fire to the treasure shipyard.

Fan Heng could even think of who was behind the scenes.

It's nothing more than that the conversation between him and Chu Yi was leaked, and the purpose of Chu Yi's coming to Jiangnan is also known. Those lords and businessmen in Jiangnan dare not say everything, at least half of them are related to sea trade.

It can be said that there are many dignitaries, gentry, and merchants who rely on maritime trade to obtain huge benefits, thus forming a huge interest group.

Such an interest group has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, even in the court, for a hundred years. It can be said that anyone who dares to open the sea will inevitably suffer a crazy counterattack from this interest group, even if the emperor is in this force. Under the circumstances, they had to be carefully considered, so that they could not open the sea.

It is precisely because he understands this that Fan Heng is even more embarrassed, because there are too many people who can be suspected of the people behind the fire. It can even be said that it includes the nobles in the city.

With a slight sigh, Fan Heng said, "Follow me to the Spring and Autumn Courtyard, I am going to visit the Governor."

Spring and Autumn Courtyard

Chu Yi sent Cao Shaoqin to take Yang Liuli down. The bathroom was also covered with water stains because of the chaos with Yang Liuli. After a simple cleaning, Chu Yi changed his clothes and went out of the bathroom.

The night wind is cool. Although it is said that it is early spring, the wind at night is still bone-chilling. When he glanced at it, Chu Yi only found the red light outside the city, and he could not help frowning.

A figure appeared beside Chu Yi, and it was Qi Hu, the head of the East Factory.

Chu Yi put his hands behind his back, glanced at Qi Hu and said, "Qi Hu, but what did you find?"

Seeing Chu Yi looking at the red light, Qi Hu bowed his hands and said, "Reporting to the Governor, there seems to be a big fire outside the city, and the fire is so big that the huge city of Nanjing can see the fire."

Chu Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "Big fire?"

Suddenly, he was shocked, Chu Yi's figure was floating on the high roof, and when he looked from a distance, he saw the red light outside the city, only to hear Chu Yi say: "If the governor remembers correctly, then One direction should be the direction of Longjiang Pass!"

Qi Hu, who followed Chu Yi to the roof, nodded slightly and said, "What the governor said is very true, that place is in the direction of Longjiang Pass!"

Looking at the direction of Longjiang Pass, a chill flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and he heard Chu Yi sneer: "Very well, these people are really well-informed, and even the shipyard under the supervision of the government dared to burn it."

Feeling the murderous intent pervading Chu Yi, Qi Hu bowed slightly and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Master, Eunuch Fan Heng has something to ask for!"

Chu Yi's body fell, and he said slowly, "Please come in and talk."

Seeing Fan Heng hurriedly approaching, he approached Chu Yi and prostrated himself in front of Chu Yi, touching his forehead to the ground, and said sharply, "Supervisor, there was a fire in Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Fan Heng was guilty of oversight, and I came here to tell the Superintendent. Lord, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Looking at Fan Heng lying in front of him, Chu Yi had a cold face and kicked Fan Heng on the shoulder, only knocking Fan Heng to the ground, but Fan Heng was relieved and got up. He bowed down in front of Chu Yi again.

Chu Yi snorted coldly: "There is a fire in the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, this is what you promised Ben Governor to be safe and sound, think about it for yourself, how long has it been, and the words are still in your ears, then come and tell Ben Governor that there is a fire in the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. , what is the use of the Governor for you!"

An angry Chu Yi raised his foot and kicked Fan Heng again.

Fan Heng wailed: "The slaves missed the inspection and dare not defend themselves. I also ask the supervisor to give the slaves a chance. The slaves will definitely catch the person who set the fire!"

Glancing at Fan Heng coldly, Chu Yi shouted, "Go check it out for me, no matter who it is, if you can't find it, don't come to see me."

Fan Heng bowed to Chu Yi, left the Spring and Autumn Courtyard, and shouted sharply at Li Ying and the rest of his subordinates, "Go to our family to investigate, even if we dig three feet into the ground, our family will dig out the person who set the fire. "

After Fan Heng left, Chu Yi, who was originally angry, was calm now, and there was no way he had the angry look just now.

At this moment, Cao Shaoqin, who had placed Yang Liuli, appeared beside Chu Yi, and his eyes were withdrawn from a distance. Obviously, the scene when Chu Yi reprimanded Fan Heng was caught by Cao Shaoqin.

Only Cao Shaoqin whispered: "Master, Eunuch Fan may not be able to find the person who set the fire..."

Chu Yi said lightly: "Nanjing is far away from the capital, thousands of miles away, Fan Heng's life is too leisurely, I'm afraid he has forgotten his responsibilities."

Speaking of which, Chu Yi said coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that he had been promoted to the Governor in the past, the Governor would have chopped off his head just because of his dereliction of duty."

Neither Cao Shaoqin nor Qi Hu said a word, because Chu Yi was really tolerant towards Fan Heng, and he really remembered his past affection, and he didn't even look at the fate of Wang Yue, who was above Fan Heng at the time, but Fan Heng, if it wasn't for Chu Yi's old love, he might have been killed like Wang Yue long ago, and how could he have been in charge of power in this Nanjing city as he is now, enjoying prosperity and wealth.

Turning around and walking into the study, Qi Hu, Cao Shaoqin, Tang Yin and Fang Li who were disturbed also entered the study and stood aside one by one.

Chu Yi sat there, tapped the table lightly, his eyes fell on Fang Li and said: "Fang Li, you are always resourceful, let's talk about it, the people who set fire to Longjiang Treasure Shipyard this time, the Governor wants to How to deal with it?"

Fang Li was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stepped forward and gave Chu Yi a respectful salute: "Go back to the governor, according to your subordinates, there is only one word to deal with such lawless people, kill! Kill him with a rolling head, The blood flows into rivers."

Tang Yin couldn't help but glance at Fang Li, his face showed a bit of hesitation, Chu Yi noticed Tang Yin's expression and couldn't help but said to Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, do you have any different opinions?"

Tang Yin hurriedly said: "The Governor, Fang Li's words are indeed a solution, but the symptoms cannot be cured. Bo Hu was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and he knows how deep the murky waters in the south of the Yangtze River are. If the Governor wants to open the sea, he has to face It's not as simple as a family or two, but dozens, hundreds, or even more families with close ties to Haimao. These people are intertwined into a big net in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can't be destroyed by killing. ."

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Then do you have any way to deal with it?"

A wise light flashed in Tang Yin's eyes and said: "Actually, the governor has an idea in his heart, and Bohu dared to suggest that the governor should be divided and drawn together. Only in this way can a gap be opened in this big net, otherwise only It will arouse the Jiangnan accident."

Glancing at Tang Yin, although Fang Li is not bad at learning, he is more focused on conspiracy and calculation, while Tang Yin obviously thinks more.

According to Tang Yin, killing alone is not enough, using a big stick and a carrot to win over, divide, and suppress is the only way to solve it.

However, before drawing in and dividing, a bloody slaughter is absolutely inevitable. Only by eradicating the most radical group of hard bones, can the strategy of drawing and dividing be implemented.

Glancing at everyone, Chu Yi made up his mind.

[The five thousand-word chapter, there will be another chapter in a while, ask for a monthly pass and give a reward. 】

ps: Push the book "The Powerhouse from the Nuclear Explosion", a novel written by an author who has never had a heroine, a protagonist who has no conspiracy calculations, in the face of absolute power, recklessness is over.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Cao Shaoqin said to Chu Yi: "Professor, do we want to..."

Glancing at Cao Shaoqin lightly, Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Let Fan Heng handle this matter, just wait for Fan Heng to give Ben Governor an explanation."

Qi Hu said: "But if Fan Heng can't hold anyone at all..."

Chu Yi sneered and said, "If you can't even do this thing well, the supervisor has already paid off all the past feelings, so what's the use of him, it's time for the Nanjing guard eunuch to change someone! "

He waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave. When Tang Yin left, Chu Yi said, "Tang Yin, you stay here."

Tang Yin was curious in his heart, but he stayed. After everyone left, Tang Yin looked at Chu Yi doubtfully and said, "Professor, I don't know if you left Bohu, but do you have any orders?"

Chu Yi motioned to Tang Bohu to sit down and said, "You are a talented girl in the south of the Yangtze River. Do you know the girl Liuli who is known as the first talented girl in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Tang Yin nodded slightly, as if referring to Yang Liuli, a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Miss Liuli is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, almost everyone knows it, Tang Yin was fortunate enough to be invited to paint for Miss Liuli. A beautiful picture!"

Yang Liuli was sent by Duke Wei to serve Chu Yi, but as a result, no one except Cao Shaoqin knew about the assassination of Chu Yi, so Tang Yin had no idea that Yang Liuli had been imprisoned by Chu Yi.

Chu Yi chuckled: "It seems that this Liuli girl is really not simple. She has such a great influence among literati, but I don't know who is behind this."

Tang Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, but Tang Yin was also a smart person. After reacting, he took a deep breath and said to Chu Yi with a bit of a wry smile on his face: "The Governor really has insight into Qiuhao, if it wasn't for the Governor's point of view today, only I'm afraid Tang Yin will never see through this in his life."

Chu Yi said lightly, "The world is only fascinated by her talent and beauty, but it is not normal for a woman to have such a great influence in Jiangnan."

After speaking, Chu Yi said to Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, do you know who this Yang Liuli has relatives, or who this woman is closest to."

Yang Liuli's assassination on him is obviously a behind-the-scenes instigator. Yang Liuli said that the person who instigated her was the Duke of Wei, Xu Hui, and Chu Yi naturally did not believe it.

If Xu Chu really wanted to assassinate him, he wouldn't have sent Yang Liuli at all, and there was no such thing as a life-and-death grudge between him and Xu Chu.

Tang Bohu frowned, pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "Back to the governor, my subordinates really can't think of any relatives this girl Liuli has. As for who is closer to this girl, to be honest, Since Yang Liuli became famous, she has treated all literati equally, no matter whether it is a famous person or a new scholar, this woman does not care about her identity, she only talks about her talents, so..."

Seeing Tang Bohu's wry smile, Chu Yi nodded slightly. Obviously, it was impossible to find out who was behind Yang Liuli's daily interpersonal interactions.

Looking up at Chu Yi, Tang Bohu couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the Governor suddenly think of asking Yang Liuli?"

Glancing at Tang Bohu, Chu Yi said lightly, "Because not long ago, Yang Liuli assassinated me, was captured by me, and has now been imprisoned."

"what!"

Tang Bohu stood up suddenly, his face full of horror and said: "Then Yang Liuli dared to assassinate the governor, it seems that if the governor said, the identity of this woman is not as simple as it seems."

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "The fox will show its tail sooner or later, and the governor doesn't mind waiting a little longer."

While Chu Yi was talking to Tang Bohu, Fan Heng, who was reprimanded by Chu Yi, used the manpower he had in Jiangnan and the contacts he had accumulated over the years to frantically investigate the whereabouts of the person who set fire to Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

Even the dead man couldn't come out when he said that, especially the corpses of those dead men who had no hope of escape and committed suicide became the only clue in Fan Heng's hands.

In the living room, Fan Heng smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground and shouted at the eunuch Li Ying who was kneeling in front of him, "Let me check it out, if you can't find any clues, don't come to see me. male."

It can be seen that Chu Yi's anger has brought great pressure to Fan Heng. Fan Heng knows better than anyone that he has been able to sit firmly in this Nanjing guarding eunuch seat for so many years, entirely because of Chu Yi's behind him, if not In Chu Yi's words, how could the position of the Nanjing guarding eunuch fall on his head?

Think of Wang Yue, who was still above him in power in the past. Once he lost his power, even if he was as beautiful as Wang Yue, the grass was already a foot high in front of his grave.

And if he hadn't been kind to Chu Yi in the past, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better than Wang Yue's end. After all, the higher he climbed, the harder he fell after losing power.

When he was in power, he had offended so many people. Once he lost his power, it would be strange not to be thrown into trouble.

Therefore, Fan Heng is very clear that he wants to live well and has power, so he can only rely on Chu Yi, and only Chu Yi will use it heavily for him, otherwise, once Chu Yi loses power, he will be the first to be unlucky.

I don't know how long ago, the sky was bright, Fan Heng appeared outside the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and the fire burned all night. Even now, flames can still be seen on the ruins of the treasure shipyard.

The huge Longjiang Bao Shipyard, which was originally covered with fire, is now in ruins, and many workshops have been reduced to ashes in the fire.

Hundreds of craftsmen looked at the ruined Longjiang Treasure Shipyard in despair.

That is to say, their lives are big, and Fan Heng needs to count the roster of the people, so he sent someone to call these people from Longjiang Bao Shipyard, but he never thought that this move would save the lives of these craftsmen.

Judging from the fire last night, especially in the middle of the night, if these craftsmen are still staying in the treasure shipyard, I am afraid that there will be no more than half of them who can still stand here.

When he saw the hundreds of craftsmen, Fan Heng, who had a gloomy face, couldn't help but his eyes lit up. After all, Fan Heng was also a person who had a fight with Wang Yue, the director of the ceremonial supervisor, so naturally he was not a waste.
