The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 571 Mrs. Wang is full of ambitions, Mr. Chen is the governor of Jinling (two in one)

In the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall.

In the study, Jia Zheng talked about poetry and books with a group of Qing guests who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Mrs. Wang was in her room, reclining on the padded chair, closing her eyes and meditating.

Yuchuan beat her legs again.

Caixia was sent off to do other things.

Xiufeng stood beside Mrs. Wang and told her the news she had heard.

Hearing Aunt Zhao's small courtyard, it was still the same as before, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, filled with Aunt Zhao's shouting and cursing.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth.

The third girl has a good character, and it's not bad to think that her younger brother is motivated.

It's just that this ring is so muddy that it can't support the wall, let alone go to Jinyiwei, even if it is sent to the Imperial College, it may not be able to change it.

But this Sanya was confused, and when she saw the majestic Chen family boy, she wanted to send her younger brother to be a soldier, which was a big mistake.

As the saying goes, good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not serve as a soldier.
Jia Huan was not motivated at first, but if he was a soldier for a few days, he might become even more depraved.

The third girl's future hope can only be her second brother Baoyu.

It's just that these three girls are really pitiful to have such an aunt and brother.

That being the case, it is not in vain for her to be filial to me by sending some good things to her room.

Speaking of it, Baoyu is an uncle of the country, and he was born with jade in his mouth. This must be a great fortune...

……

Longtan is the middle point between Jinling City and Dantu. Officials from the north go down the canal to Jinling, and go to Longtan to meet them. This is a very grand etiquette.

Chen Zhao is the governor of Jiangnan, the censor of Youqin Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the same knowledge of Jin Yiwei. He is not a high-ranking official in Jinling City, so he was greeted by some equivalent officials of Jinling Mansion.

In addition, the several thousand households of Jinyiwei stationed in Jinling are subordinates of Chen Zhaozheng'er Bajing, which is unusual, so they pay respects.

But Chen Zhao keenly felt that unlike the respectful and respectful attitude of the thousands of households in the capital, the respect of these three Jinyiwei Qianhu was more reflected in the situation, and they even felt alienated than those civil servants.

After all, with multiple jobs and special purposes, the residence time in Jinling City will not be too long, so Chen Zhao did not live in the residence arranged by the government, but set up an inn in the city by himself. They all live in it.

This behavior of not being on the stage was immediately regarded as a joke by the nobles and officials who have been rich for hundreds of years.

So rumors spread quickly.

"I thought Mr. Chen started in Yangzhou and was a Jinshi. This time he came to Jiangnan, he should have the literary talents of Jiangnan. He didn't want to live in a garden mansion arranged by the government. Instead, he booked an inn. He was really used to being a martial artist. full of vulgarity."

"You can't say that. I heard that there are many courtyard houses in the capital, and they pay attention to squareness and symmetry. However, our gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are one step at a time. I'm afraid Mr. Chen is not used to living in them."

"Hahaha, what you said is so ingenious..."

"What did I say?"

"No, I can only say that the emperor is holy..."

Although Chen Zhao's rank is not high, he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he is on a business trip, so the governor's mansion, Zhen's family, and even Jinling General's mansion, all the bigwigs and officials who are qualified or should come to the banquet, all send people to come to the banquet. After reading the post, I want to clean up Chen Zhao.

This is the rule in the officialdom. No matter what kind of small talk everyone plays, superficial etiquette must be done.

Since everyone is a decent person, Chen Zhao also refused decently.

So he rejected Jin Yiwei Qianhu's invitation.

Logically speaking, these thousands of households belonged to Jin Yiwei, so they should be humbled, but they didn't expect that they just mentioned it casually, and didn't persuade them anymore.

The Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born in Huating and rose in Taihu Lake. Jinling was the first big city he captured. Li Guangdi, Li Wei, King Xue of Jia Shi, and the ancestors of the Zhen family all followed the Taizu in Jinling. Therefore, after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, Jinling is more prosperous. At night, even in the inn, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from nowhere, which makes people feel inexplicable.

A single courtyard in the inn was cleared out and used as Chen Zhao's residence. After arriving in Jinling, he didn't relax on the boat. He went to the city during the day to make some adjustments, and then started busy with work.

"My lord, the Li family in Changzhou has been full of guests during this time. Most of the guests are heroes from the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid it's just for your lord."

"Jiangnan heroes? Who are they?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

He has been in Yangzhou for many years, except for destroying the White Lotus Sect, a cult recognized by the court, he has almost no contact with Jiangnan heroes.

"The evil monk Liao Yin of Puyuan, the Jiangnan hero Gan Fengchi, the heavy-handed swordsman Bai Taiguan..."

Chen Zhao chuckled.

Of course, he was familiar with these names.

No matter how the dynasty changes, it seems that these people are destined to appear in history.

"It doesn't matter, no matter how domineering the other party is, I will just go all the way."

Chen Zhao waved his hand and didn't care.

After the man went down, Chen Zhao sat there in silence for a while, then shook his head, exhaled, and said in a loud voice:

"Bring over the files of the three thousand households in the city!"

Pang Qingshan, Zhao Banhe, and Meng Xianhui, these three people have detailed records in the Jinyiwei Yamen in the capital, but after arriving in Jinling, they have to confirm and supplement with the relevant personnel of the three major trading companies.

"Pang Qingshan was born as a general in the family of Jinling General Lin Bo. He followed the previous Jinling General Li Wei to suppress the bandits and made military exploits. He also saved the life of Li Xingyuan, so he was released and promoted. Now he has this Due to his position, Pang Qingshan is currently considered the most effective leader of Jinyiwei in Jinling City."

Han Xiaozhong is no longer the yameni who only knew how to fight in the past. He has a strong ability to summarize and analyze. Over the years, he has dealt with people from all walks of life, which has strengthened his ability. After coming to Jinling, he was the one who took the documents of these three thousand households. Confirm and supplement with the informants, and then report to Chen Zhao.

"Zhao Banhe's family has worked in Jinyiwei for generations, and the lowest level has never been lower than the general flag. When the chieftain was in trouble, his father and uncle both went to the Sichuan and Shu battlefields. His uncle died there. Zhao Banhe's father lost an arm. With such meritorious service, and being a military household for generations, he also got this position. However, this Zhao Banhe really has no power inside and outside the city. It is said that some small businessmen made offerings to him. Zhao Banhe himself There is a cloth shop in the city, and a vegetable garden outside the city, and he usually spends much more time on it than on official business."

Chen Zhao nodded.

There is almost no change between the Jinyiwei in the south and the Jinyiwei in the north, and they are all of the same virtue.

"Meng Xianhui came in when he was a son of a good family. It is not clear who is behind this man, but he came in as a soldier, and within ten years he reached the position of a thousand households."

The internal promotion of Jinyiwei, a school lieutenant, no matter how strong his ability is, if he has no background, he will reach the general banner and hundreds of households. Chen Zhao has contributed tens of millions of gold and silver to the emperor. Since ancient times, there have been almost no such capable ministers. It is a common knowledge of Jin Yiwei.

In this way, there are still many people who are against Chen Zhao.

Unexpectedly, this Meng Xianhui could reach the position of Qianhu smoothly, which is even rarer than Chen Zhao's being an acquaintance of Jinyiwei, but in Jinling area, there is no news at all.

"That's what it says in the document. After arriving, my subordinates specifically asked in detail. Our local eyeliner can't tell. Judging from the case handled by Meng Xianhui, I can't tell who he is biased or not. It can also be seen. No relationship between him and others."

After Han Xiaozhong finished speaking calmly, Chen Zhao reached out and patted the table, and said:
"It seems that the layout time of the three major trading companies is too short and there are insufficient manpower. Such a person cannot be investigated clearly. I just think that the Li family in Changzhou is so powerful and has such a long reach. The three thousand households in Jinling are divided into Jiangnan Everywhere, there will always be people without them."

Han Xiaozhong nodded, hesitated and said:

"My lord, after all, the three major trading companies are mainly engaged in business. Even if someone is in charge of tracking and investigating, it is really not easy to find out something in a short period of time. We can only strengthen our strength in the future, but we are afraid of delaying things."

Chen Zhao waved his hand and said calmly:
"There's no delay. Sooner or later, the post from Shi Shilun's side is over?"

"The post has already been handed over in the afternoon. Mr. Shi explained that he will be waiting for you at the yamen in the morning."

Not to mention that a high-ranking official who is already engaged in the third grade of Jinling's participation in politics, Shi Shilun's name is enough to shake the world.

Not to mention his age and qualifications, nor the story of his transition from a slave to a high-ranking official, but his experience of being the master of the people for so many years, he is known as the "Great Zhou Haigang Peak", and can be said to be the No. grand lord.

For such a person, Chen Zhao should come to see him.

……

"Master Shi."

"Master Chen doesn't think it looks like being an official?"

Certainly not like it!
Shi Shilun is a celebrity in the world, and there are various rumors, but the unified rumor is that he is ugly and not gentle.

But the old man Chen Zhao saw, although thin, was elegant and extraordinary, with a smile on his face, like a fairy.

Thinking about it, even though Shi Lang was demoted to slavery, he fought for wealth back then. Shi Shilun didn't suffer much when he was a child, but later he stood out.

This Shi Shilun himself is a very smart person, he knows that if he wants to fight against corrupt officials, he has to be healthier than them and be able to take care of himself better.

Therefore, he has always paid attention to his health, so he is still handsome in his 60s. It is said that many girls in Qinhuai River admire him.

Chen Zhao once thought that someone was impersonating Shi Shilun.

However, Chen Zhao was sure that he was Shi Shilun because of Shi Shilun's eyes. Chen Zhao had only seen such eyes in one kind of person's eyes, and that was the eyes of the strongest and most death-defying soldier in the army.

For a moment, Chen Zhao recalled his desperate spirit when he was in the army and participated in the flood rescue.

"To be honest, Master Shi, I really don't think you look like you."

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed. After they were seated.

……

An hour later, Chen Zhao bid farewell and left.

I was very emotional.

Shi Shilun gave him the case files and documents from that year, but he also told him clearly that with the methods of the Li family in Changzhou, they might have already responded, and these things are not evidence at all.

In fact, after thinking about it, I understand that since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the rich and powerful families in the local area were actually the local emperors. Those fish-scale account books related to the fields, whether they were archived in the yamen or in the hands of other families, followed the path of rich families. .

Wealthy families have a hundred ways to turn the fish scale book into a file that suits their wishes.

Whether it is Bao Qingtian, Hai Qingtian, or Shi Shilun, the imperial envoys photographed can't change anything.

What, what do you think Di Renjie is here?
this……

Di Renjie only took care of major political cases, and this kind of land annexation case, Mr. Di, the prime minister, would disdain it.

That was Zeng Tai's responsibility.

Just as Chen Zhao was thinking, Xu Ziling stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "My lord, there are five groups of people watching, and now there are three groups behind."

Chen Zhao nodded with a smile.

His miraculous skills are world-renowned, so he naturally saw a few small vendors at the gate of this yamen, as well as passers-by wandering the streets with their hands on their backs, as well as porters and waiters.

There are all kinds of people, there are indeed five groups of people.

"Ignore them for now, let's go back to the inn."

Chen Zhao went back to the inn, changed back into casual clothes, called Xu Ziling and said, "Catch all those who are watching outside, and ask them about their backstage."

Xu Ziling bowed his hands in salute, and immediately led a group of soldiers out.

On the contrary, Han Xiaozhong was a little hesitant, and said, "My lord, this is the ground of Jinling, we..."

Chen Zhao took a look at Han Xiaozhong: "It is true that this is Jinling, but I am also an imperial envoy. Since these people sent people to follow me, since they don't see me, then there is no imperial court. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will get their noses in the face. "

The Jinyi Guards led by Chen Zhao have not only fought against private salt dealers in Yangzhou, but also E who has trained Jinyiwei in the capital, and also faced the Jurchens in Liaodong. Come eleven or twelve spies.

Looking at the eight people who were thrown on the ground in the yard, Xu Ziling went in to report back, Lin Fei said:
"Tell me your origin and instructions, and your life will be safe, otherwise..."

"We are all good citizens, please forgive me, my lord."

"Sir, I'm just a small vendor, please have mercy on me..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

When Xu Ziling came back, he sneered and shouted:

"Bring over the inn dog."

Not long after, a dog was brought over, Xu Ziling drew out a short knife, stepped forward, and with a wave of his right hand, a spy's ear was knocked off, the movement was crisp and quick.

The spy screamed loudly, but Xu Ziling picked up the ear and threw it directly in front of the dog.

Seeing the dog gobbling it up, everyone was horrified. Xu Ziling looked at them with a sneer: "I once competed with Jiannu in Liaodong, and I can't fix you bunch of picky bastards. Tell me now, and the rest of the program will be finished." I won't do it."

With such a strong man, the spies suddenly softened, and soon said everything tremblingly, not daring to hide anything.

After Chen Zhao found out, he sent them to the Jinling government office.

"There were people sent by Uncle Chang Lin, and another person was sent by a certain family of Jinyiwei in the city. That hundred families had already run away, and the rest were recognized by Ying Tianfu himself, saying that they were here to protect the safety of the imperial envoy. "

The results from Ying Tianfu were quickly announced. Xu Ziling stared at Ying Tianfu and reported to Chen Zhao when he came back. Chen Zhao nodded and said with a smile:

"Look who is behind these hundred households!"

Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, Chen Zhao leaned back in his chair and said to Han Xiaozhong:
"The officials and officials who protect each other have dealt with us!"

Early the next morning, the person behind Baihu came to make amends.

It was Zhao Banhe, a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

This guy is a descendant of the Jin Yiwei, and he can be said to be a member of his own family. He didn't expect that he would do something like this to Zhao Banhe.

It turned out that this guy was wearing brocade and guard robes early in the morning, kneeling in front of the inn to plead guilty.
