Chapter 27 Dilemma (Afternoon Tea
Although Zhu Yijun wanted to see Hai Rui, it was not the time to see Hai Rui. He would wait for the limelight to come over. After all, he could not really appoint Hai Rui, and then he was sentenced to hang after embezzling 80 qians.
If that's the case, the officials of the Ming Dynasty could put ropes from top to bottom and kill them.
In that way, I will not be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but the biggest rebel of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yijun was struggling, a group of people were drinking happily in a restaurant in Hangzhou, with many women accompanying him. The person sitting in the head was Chen Lin, who was unemployed at home.
Chen Lin was born in the 11th year of Jiajing. He is exactly fifty years old this year, but he looks very young. He has a lion's nose, square sea mouth, a little wide forehead, and looks very generous. He also has a sense of momentum while sitting there.
At this time, Chen Lin was dressed as a rich man and sat there chatting and laughing with the people at his deskmate.
On the second floor of the brothel, several people stood at the railing, looked at Chen Lin, and then said to the people around him: "He is Chen Lin? Didn't he get the wrong person? Let me tell you, this time it was an errand assigned by the above. If you mess it up, your life will not be guaranteed."
"Don't worry, there are many people here who know him, so it must be a good job."
"I have already asked someone to put medicine in their table of wine. They will have to pour them all in a while. Then you will take him away and let the others deal with us." The man said quickly.
Not long after, it seemed that the medicine had worked, and the few people at the table were confused one after another.
Several people got off the second floor and quietly took Chen Lin away. When they got outside, they tied Chen Lin's hands and feet directly, then carried them into the carriage, and drove them away.
From beginning to end, no one paid attention to Chen Lin's entourage or other people in the brothel.
Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou.
"Has you asked?"
In a room in the Zhou family compound, Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi saw someone coming in to report, put down the teacup in their hands and asked, "Have you asked?"
"Sir, Zhou Feng is a tough guy. He said that all the salts are legal and that they are from the Qian family of Hejian Mansion." The Jinyiwei who came in said with a gloomy face: "He never admits that he sells private salt."
The two of them had long thought that Zhou Feng was not so easy to admit, but they didn't expect that Zhou Feng moved out of the Qian family of Hejian Mansion.
Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi were naturally very annoyed and sent someone to check the Qian family of Hejian Mansion and found that the Qian family was really not easy to deal with. Although it showed that the Qian family of Hejian Mansion was just a marriage in-law of the Xining Hou Mansion.
The current wife of the Marquis of Xining Hou Mansion is the Qian family who came from the Hejian Hou Mansion.
But in fact, all the salt in the Qian family came from the Xining Marquis Mansion, so I understand this matter. Rather than saying that the Xining Marquis Mansion is supporting the Qian family, it is better to say that the Qian family is from the Xining Marquis Mansion.
Their function is very simple, that is, to make money for the Xining Hou Mansion.
Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi were naturally not afraid of the Xining Hou Mansion. They knew the severity of this matter and also knew who asked them to do this matter. The key is that the Xining Hou Mansion had enough salt intake. It was a matter of putting this salt in the Zhou family, and it was not a matter of putting it in the Qian family of Hejian Mansion.
If it is not proved that the salt of the Zhou family is private salt, then the trouble for both of them will be great.
Xing Shangzhi had a gloomy face. Now that he could not get Zhou Feng's confession, he refused to explain to his family, because things were difficult.
"Where is the person from the inner factory?" Xing Shangzhi looked at Wang Zhong and said angrily: "What are you saying is foolproof and let go of your actions, but now? Things are like this, we can't kill Zhou Feng!"
Wang Zhong was about to speak, but Sun Piyang took Cao Yikui and Wang Yongji in.
Sun Piyang looked at the two people with a expressionless face and said directly: "Now someone is saying that you are asking for 300,000 taels of silver from the Zhou family for extortion of money."
"If the Zhou family doesn't obey, you will directly arrest the Zhou family and put a charge of selling private salt for the Zhou family, with the purpose of confiscating the Zhou family's property. The public opinion was angry that Yao Renji, the governor of Cangzhou, was ready to write to the court."
"I guess Hejian Mansion won't ignore it. If the matter cannot be done, you can explain it to the emperor yourself."
In fact, Sun Piyang is really not afraid. He was here to make a fuss, and he was arrested by Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi, so he naturally would not be implicated. Although there was some responsibility, there would be no major problems when dealing with it.
Just be fined and demoted, but many people will help them get promoted.
Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi also looked depressed. What this is called? I guess they will definitely make a fuss if they don’t deal with it. I guess there will be a big fuss below. After all, someone encouraged me that neither the Qian family of Hejian Prefecture nor the governor of Cangzhou Yao Renji, they would miss this opportunity.
Now Sun Piyang is clearly tracing the blame and directly pushes the matter to his two people.
Although the two felt wronged, they couldn't say it out loud, and they cursed the unreliable people in the inner factory.
When Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi heard that they were extorting money from both of them, they were not surprised at all. These people often used this trick to extort places. The key is that this trick is easy to use. Regardless of whether it is true or not, others must be afraid.
What if it is really true? With the addition of the salt merchants, it is estimated that the capital will start to make trouble.
Sun Piyang left, but Cao Yikui stayed, looked at Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi, and said directly: "Two, the Neichang will come to the head of Hejian Mansion tonight. You and I will meet you together!"
"I was just about to see this sneaky guy!" Xing Shangzhi said gritting his teeth.
In the evening, the imperial envoy in Cangzhou was sitting in the room and waiting quietly. When the drum beats the third update, the Jinyiwei opened the door and a fat man walked in from outside. When he saw the three people, he smiled and bowed: "Liu An, the head of Hejian Mansion in Neichang, has met Eunuch Wang, Xing Qianhu, and Cao Yuen!"
When the three of them saw the person coming in, they were all stunned. This person was actually the fake Zhoucang.
When the three of them intercepted salt when they were intercepting the three of them. After getting the real Zhou Cang, the fake Zhou Cang was taken away by the people from the Nei Factory. Unexpectedly, the fake Zhou Cang was actually in charge of the Hejian Mansion of the Nei Factory.
"The last time there was a reason, I hope you all forgive me!" Liu An smiled and bowed to the three of them, and then said, "I know everything. Our internal factory has been prepared for it. This method is called "manipulating public opinion and putting pressure on" in our internal factory. Our internal factory has a solution."
