Super Smuggling System

What's more, the captains of Jinyiwei who rode their horses back and forth on both sides of these wooden carts were all vicious, sweeping every passerby who passed by.

I almost went forward to check it out.

Let the convoy enter the imperial city directly, and when they reached the gate of the inner money, Li Mu ordered a school lieutenant to take out 20 taels of silver from the cash and settle the fare for the wooden car he hired.

This is the employment fee that Li Mu promised to pay these drivers when he was in Shanxi.

For Li Mu, there is no need to use the power in his hand to exploit these poor working people too much.

It's not worth it, and it's true that there is not much oil and water.

The coach drivers didn't expect that Li Mu, a high-ranking official, really fulfilled the wages promised at that time, and they happily stepped forward to express the most sincere thanks to him.

The working people at the bottom are sometimes the simplest. He doesn't care what others think of Jin Yiwei, saying how domineering, arrogant and unreasonable Jin Yiwei is.

The 20 taels of silver in their hands is a fact, and for these ten thousand drivers, everything else is fake.

Li Mu didn't have any humility, and accepted the driver's thanks very frankly.

This may be the calmness cultivated by living in a high position for a long time.

After receiving their wages, the coach drivers seemed to have a solid foundation in their hearts. They were no longer afraid of those seemingly unfriendly captains of Jin Yiwei, and stepped forward one after another to help carry the boxes containing silver into the internal funds.

For these drivers, the sooner they finish moving, the better they can start home earlier.

It was not until all the boxes on the wooden carts were cleared that the drivers led their own wooden carts under the leadership of Captain Jin Yiwei who also returned to Shanxi.

Go out of the imperial city and return to Shanxi together.

Standing outside the inner pocket, Li Mu looked at the group of drivers who were talking and laughing as they left, and suddenly thought, is this a seed sown by the imperial court in Shanxi?

Following the return of the Jinyiwei affiliated to Shanxi Qianhusuo to Shanxi, the rest of the Jinyiwei personnel also began to return to the Qianhusuo in various state capitals under Li Mu's order.

So far, the two thousand Jinyiwei recruited by Li Mu to train in the capital have returned to their respective positions.

Of course, some Jinyiweis among them were promoted by Li Mu. Those who performed well were promoted from school lieutenant to Baihu, Baihu, and Baihu to Deputy Qianhu.

At this moment, Li Mu turned around and headed towards the inner palace. It took more than a month before he left the capital. The inspection team might have already left the capital to inspect the state capitals around the capital, and even spread to the entire Ming Dynasty.

At Shanhaiguan, which is not far from the capital, Li Mu's investigation of eight Shanxi merchants has also begun the final finishing touch.

After leaving the customs for more than a month, Fan Yongdou and the Jurchens completed another satisfactory transaction, loaded with a large amount of mountain goods, fur, ginseng, deer antler and other valuable medicinal materials, and were preparing to pass through the Shanhaiguan gate.

Today's city gate is a little different from the past. There are more than a dozen guards in Jinyi wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives standing on both sides of the gate.

His eyes kept scanning the crowd entering the customs, and he didn't step forward to check, just looking at it like this, as if he was looking for someone again.

This made Fan Yongdou's eyelids twitch when he was about to enter the customs, and then he glanced at the generals guarding the customs, which were the same as before, and there was no change.

Only then did Fan Yongdou feel at ease leading the caravan to the pass.

A dozen Jinyiwei standing in the pass had already spotted Fan Yongdou's caravan, but they didn't show any signs of arresting them.

The other seven Shanxi merchants have all been arrested and brought to justice within this month. For the last criminal named by the commander.

These dozen or so Jinyiwei did not expect to be the last to disclose, so they planned to put Fan Yongdou's caravan in the prison before arresting them.

When they saw Fan Yongdou's caravan had all entered the customs, the leaders of the dozens of Jinyi guards waved their hands and told the generals to temporarily close the city gates.

Just as the guards were closing the city gate, more than a dozen Jinyi guards had already drawn out their Xiuchun knives and flew towards Fan Yongdou's caravan.

The leader of this team of Jinyiwei put the Xiuchun knife in his hand on Fan Yongdou's neck and said: "Fan Yongdou, a Shanxi merchant, violated the imperial ban, and was ordered by the Commander of Jinyiwei to arrest all the criminals of the Fan family of the Shanxi merchant. executed on the spot."

Fan Yongdou, who was held in the neck with a knife, heard what this Jin Yiwei said, and he understood that what he did was exposed, and that what he committed, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, would be beheaded at the lightest.

What's more, it was Jin Yiwei who arrested him. In order to make himself feel better, Fan Yongdou directly grabbed the Xiuchun knife on his neck, twisted his body forcefully, and committed suicide, fell to the ground and died.

The other Fan guys in the caravan, seeing the owner committed suicide, lowered their heads timidly, and stood there waiting for Jin Yiwei to come forward and lock him up.

So far, the investigation of the eight Shanxi merchants has really come to an end. The only thing that has not been cleared is the protective umbrellas that the old lady of the Fan family said.

Chapter 2 Fifteen: The Tenderness of Renshou Palace

Li Mu's sole purpose in entering the inner palace was to find his beauty, the Empress Dowager Yi'an. (www.MianHuaTang.la $>>>Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

I haven't seen her for more than a month, but Li Mu really misses this beautiful queen mother who is one of the five ancient queens.

Changing from empress to empress dowager, Zhang Yan moved from Jiaotai Hall to Renshou Palace, which was also a palace specially prepared for empress dowagers during the Ming Dynasty.

The Jiaotai Hall was the residence of the empress in the Ming Dynasty. In this harem, with the change of status, the palaces where they live are also different.

So Li Mu didn't go in the direction of Jiaotai Palace, but went to Renshou Palace.

Although there are court ladies and eunuchs to take care of the Jiaotai Palace at this time, it can be regarded as a empty palace, and it will take more than ten years until the new queen moves in.

The current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is only a little over one year old, and there are still more than ten years before he gets married.

In the Renshou Palace, Zhang Yan was sitting on the phoenix chair without Li Mu in front of her, as if she was the mother of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in the gorgeous palace attire of the empress dowager, and the phoenix was flying.

Sitting there in a dignified and elegant manner, he slowly flipped through the memorial sent by the cabinet.

After listening to the report from His Majesty's maidservant, Zhang Yan put down the memorial in her hand in surprise, and asked, "You said that Commander Li returned to Beijing today? He also brought a lot of wooden carts to the inner capital?"

The internal funds belong to the private treasury of the royal family, which is different from the national treasury in charge of the imperial household department. Li Mu's return to the internal funds makes Zhang Yan very puzzled.

"What is he doing there? Aijia remembers that there is not much silver in the house, right? Could it be that he is going to move the palace's treasury?"

Zhang Yan knew about the money situation in the palace. It can't be said that the poor don't even patronize mice, but they don't have much silver deposits, only a few million taels of silver to keep the palace running.

All the money used in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty came from the royal private treasury.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the maidservant did see that Commander Li went to the internal money, but instead of moving things from it, it moved things in. Cotton candy." Hearing Zhang Yan's doubts, the maidservant who reported it explained.

"Oh, that's really strange." Zhang Yan felt curious. She didn't know why Li Mu left the capital, so she really wanted to ask in person now.

Thinking of personally asking Li Muyuan why, Zhang Yan asked the maid beside her. "Where is Commander Li now?"

"Ha, ha, ha, this seat is in Renshou Palace." As soon as he arrived at Renshou Palace, he heard Zhang Yan asking where he was. Li Mu was in a good mood, and entered the palace gate, looking at the beauty sitting on the phoenix chair.

The empress dowager's palace attire was dignified and elegant, making people inviolable, but it was worn on a gorgeous woman, this combination of charm and elegance.

Li Mu's ten fingers moved wildly, facing Zhang Yan's mouth, and suddenly bowed: "The Commander of Chen Jinyiwei, Li Mu, has seen the Empress Dowager Qiansui."

The sudden bow to meet Zhang Yan caught Zhang Yan by surprise, and it didn't match the Li Mu she usually knew.

In Zhang Yan's impression, Li Mu's performance on weekdays is domineering, frivolous, casual, and greedy, but he is not going through it like he is now.

Seeing Li Mu's stern and slightly raised mouth, Zhang Yan waved her sleeves to hide her smile, and replied in a low voice pretending to be polite: "Commander Li, let's get down, I don't know, what's the matter in Renshou Palace at Ai's house?"
