The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 579
Lin Ruhai is the governor of Songjiang, and he has two old friends Zhang and Han to help him. In addition, he is the governor who opened the port, so he has great power, so he has more eyes and ears on the people than ordinary people. Naturally, he knows the land of Jiangnan. It was already undercurrent.

Master Lin naturally knew Chen Zhao well, knowing that he was using his body as bait to scare the snakes, lure them out of their holes, and then destroy them with one blow.

But since he is using his body as bait, it is certainly not safe around him, so it is best to stay in Songjiang at this time.

Didn't you see that Chen Zhao put all the concubines and maidservants in Yangzhou?

Several official ships are docked at the Yangtze River Wharf in Dantu County, Zhenjiang Prefecture.

In order to show his majesty and deter the crowd, Chen Zhao's imperial guard of honor put up two vertical flags, which were fluttering against the wind.The left handwriting of these two banners reads "Imperial Order of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Youqian Du Yushi", and the right handwriting "Designed by Jin Yiwei to command Tongzhi".There are six red wooden plaques on the left and right sides of the bow, on which Chen Zhao's various professional titles are written.
In which year was Jieyuan in the township examination, in which year was Jinshi, in which year was Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and in which year was Zhan Shifu in Zhan Shifu? The word "Chen".

The ships moored around gave way to these two ships, and the ships passing by on the Yangtze River all looked at this side and whispered.

"It's Chen Qingtian, Chen Qingtian has come to Taiping Mansion."

"That's right, Censor Tie Duan is here, those corrupt officials, Xiao Xiao's thieves, I'm afraid they will be scared out of their wits."

From time to time, I saw someone on the boat facing this side, making a bow from the air, and then left along the boat.

At this time, Chen Zhao was sitting on the boat, reading the official document handed over by Han Xiaozhong.

This is an official document jointly issued by Liangjiang Governor's Office, Liangjiang Chief Envoy and Transit Department.

The content above is very simple. Due to the typhoon passing through the country some time ago, the wind and rain were blowing, and the fan Kuwa who was transferred to the Sixingyuan Yamen fell over the wall and was no longer usable.It has been reported to the imperial court and allocated funds for repairs.

The two divisions have already issued military and military divisions, and temporarily recruited the Huqiu military garrison in Suzhou as a temporary treasury.All the military preparations have been dispatched, the treasurer ambassador and Kuding have also settled in, and the treasury bank, provincial fish scale yellow book and other items have been transferred to the Huqiu Fan treasury.The two divisions issued a letter to the prefectures and counties that the autumn grain would still be sent to Anping, and the annual silver and annual account books would be transferred to Huqiu to set up a new treasury, and so on.

"Tiger Hill is fifteen miles north of Suzhou City, where the Suzhou Portal Wharf of the canal is located. There are the tax collection office of the shipping department of Liangjiang City, the customs inspection office of the Chief Secretary, the warehouse of the transshipment department, and the patrol inspection office of Suzhou Garrison. More There is a battalion of soldiers and horses stationed there. Presumably it refers to the station of soldiers and horses of the Bingmas' battalion."

"My lord is right." Xu Ziling, who was waiting on the side, replied, "When I was in Yangzhou, I was on a business trip to Suzhou, and I also went to Huqiu. There is indeed a military station. The wall is one It is five feet long, all built with bricks and stones, with a radius of nearly two miles, with sentry towers at the four corners, and archery towers at the front and rear gates, which are stronger than ordinary small county towns."

"According to what Ziling said, that's right." Han Xiaozhong stroked his hands, "There's such a big commotion, these guys are probably in the urn."

Lin Fei asked in surprise from the side: "What Master Han said, but the strategy of forcing the king into the urn that your lord said a few days ago has worked?"

"Exactly." Han Xiaozhong nodded in agreement, and then turned to Chen Zhaodao, "Your Excellency is right. In Liangjiang, everything else is easy to excuse. Only this account book is a dead thing. Once the account is checked, it will be up and down. All kinds of evil deeds such as collusion, desecration, and self-defeating will be exposed in the light of day."

"Account books are key evidence. Although they can be faked, warehouse money and food, mountains, forests and fields cannot be faked. Take the account book and the yellow scale book, and go to the countryside to check on the ground. There is nothing to hide, and then follow the clues. , I can find out any dirty things for you."

"Not only that, have you read the official texts of the three provinces last month? Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ge retired from office, Mr. Tian was promoted to the chief assistant, and his disciple Fang Tianlei, the secretary of the branch, was appointed as the left servant of the household department. Mr. Fang wrote to Cao Si, the governor of the provinces under the Ministry of Households, to copy and submit a copy of the account books within three years. Your Majesty needs to clarify the accounts first, and then pursue the debt owed to the treasury."

"That's right," Han Xiaozhong continued Chen Zhao's words, "My lord's memorandum was just a knock on the mountain, and Fang lord's household department checks the accounts. That's a silent stab in the heart."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "That's right, there are rumors that even if the mouse ate half a catty of rice in the warehouse, Mr. Fang can figure it out for you clearly. Now it is obvious that Mr. Fang is checking the accounts. In the eyes of those corrupt officials Here, it is no different from the life-threatening black and white impermanence."

Chen Zhao and Han Xiaozhong couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Lin Fei, who had been listening dazedly by the side, answered at this moment, "You said that the treasury was stationed in the Huqiu military post so that the thieves could burn the account books?"

"That's right." Chen Zhao nodded and said, "We speculated before that those people might let thieves into the city, take advantage of the chaos to destroy the treasury, loot the silver, and then burn those account books. It's just that these people are smarter and came up with Such a method. Indeed, if the thieves broke the treasury in Suzhou City, plundered silver and burned books, then the civil and military personnel in Suzhou City would be unable to escape their guilt. It would mean that the old crime would be avoided, but the new crime would be added, and the gain would outweigh the loss. Now The treasury was temporarily moved out of the city due to natural disasters, if it is broken by thieves, only a few scapegoats are needed, and the rest can escape."

"Your Excellency is right. Suzhou City is a famous city in the world. Such a big city can't accommodate a small treasury, so it has to be moved to a military post outside the city. It's just these few scapegoats, who will it be?"

Chen Zhao couldn't help laughing: "This scapegoat, you and I know it well. But what I care most about is whether this scapegoat will be willing or not?"

"Wonderful!" Han Xiaozhong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, "Your words are wonderful! Why don't you write a book and pass it in secretly. The scapegoat may be upset and unwilling to sit and wait for death. If you get it, my lord The secret letter, there is a way out, who can resist this temptation? Having him in the middle of the communication can be the key to breaking the situation."

"That's exactly what I mean." Chen Zhao wrote a letter, but it was only one page, concise and to the point.Put it in an envelope and hand it to Xu Ziling, and earnestly confessed: "The managers of the three major trading companies have already made some connections in Suzhou. Now you disguise yourself and rush to Suzhou overnight, find the channel I arranged, and send this letter to Go in front of that person. Remember, don’t leak the news and let others know.”

"My lord, remember this little one, and I will live up to my trust." Xu Ziling replied solemnly.

"Then let's go to Suzhou!" Chen Zhao patted the handrail lightly and ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"
