Chapter 612: T-rolls take advantage of chaos

  Chapter 612 The T-shaped scroll takes advantage of chaos

   Randomly flipped through the various books and letters found, Su Lunding waved his hand expressionlessly, and immediately stuffed them into a vermilion box and hid them aside.

   "My lord, the two other houses have been sealed off, and three silver cellars have been found..." the confidant whispered.

   "Don't move your money." Su Lunding twitched his lips, "It's worthless and attracts people's attention..."

   I understood it with confidence and nodded again and again.

   "Also, pay attention to Nanzhen Fusi, don't go too far." Su Lunding sighed.

  He also knew that Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan should have explained it to Nanzhen Fusi, and it should have been settled, but there was always a thorn in his back, which made people uncomfortable.

   It's just that he also knows that such things are beyond his control.

  Mobilizing salt merchants is something that many people dream of, but in the past few decades in the south of the Yangtze River, when have salt merchants been mobilized? At least in the 15th year of Emperor Tianping and the 42nd year of Emperor Yuanxi, which add up to 57 years, the imperial court has never touched a salt merchant.

   To trace the story of the dynamic salt merchants, we have to go back to the reign of Emperor Guangyuan.

  For such a big matter, it's no wonder that the commanders are also cautious. Even the people from Nanzhen Fusi are sent out, just because they are afraid of accidents and disasters.

  But why isn’t Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, who is only seventeen years old, not afraid?

  Some things he has only a half-knowledge, some things he half-understands, and some things he doesn't understand at all, but if he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean he can't do it. The command and colleagues have given orders, so he can only follow them.

The entire search lasted until midnight. Gao, Tan, and Gui's family left the main house, and seven other houses were raided. Captain Long dispatched a total of nearly 300 people, and took control of each house. Afterwards, the Yangzhou government also sent yamen servants to take charge of the surrounding security.

   Except for a certain degree of resistance in the Tan family's main house, the other places were relatively peaceful. After all, a group of merchants had not yet completely despaired, and no one dared to openly confront the notorious Long Jinwei.

  Basically, it’s not actually the resistance of the Tan family, but the violent response of the Jianghu people supported by the Tan family because of sudden encounters and they didn’t understand what happened.

   Fortunately, Lieutenant Long was well prepared, with strong bows and crossbows and his own good hands, most of the gangsters were killed or injured, and only three or five people escaped by chance.

   When Feng Ziying received the report, it was almost noon on the second day.

  When Su Lunding and Nanzhen Fusi Deputy Qianhu Ye Mingzhang stepped into the small courtyard, Feng Ziying was still enjoying refreshments leisurely.

   "Masters Qianhu, are you here for dinner?" Feng Ziying teased the two Qianhus of Long Jinwei, but her eyes fell on the wooden box brought in by the Long Jinwei behind.

   Lian Guoshi and several people also noticed this wooden box.

"Master Feng, several places have been sealed up. According to your request, there are personnel from the Nanzhen Fusi to supervise." Su Lunding said angrily: "Stop making sarcastic remarks here, our brothers are busy One night, now I don’t even have a grain of rice on my teeth.”

Naturally, it was impossible for Feng Ziying to make a fuss about such a big matter. In addition to Wang Wenyan's arrangement of a few people, the few people brought by Duan Xigui were all sent there. Concealment and engulfment are all ignored, just register and seal the property.

In fact, one or two people in each place is of little significance. If Long Jinwei intends to make a moth, it will not help at all, but this is also a warning gesture. The other party is not too much, and really dare not overestimate the character of these Long Jinwei.

   "Brother Junyu, Mengzhang, Keyou, Luyou, from now on, I will work hard for you guys, clear up the accounts, and then summarize them. There is someone from the Classical Chinese side to cooperate with you, so let's sort it out first..."

  Now that they are here, they are the best labor force and witnesses, allowing them to understand all the situations most intuitively.

Feng Ziying never planned to do anything for herself personally in it. If she did this, her grades were enough, and they could take this opportunity to practice state affairs, and of course they could benefit from it. Guan Yingzhen asked them to come.

   It is expected that Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui and others will also come in the next batch. It is unreasonable not to share the benefits of such a great achievement.

  One box is to assist in checking and registering the accounts, which will be handed over to Lian Guoshi and the others to sort out and sort out.

  One box contains letters, scrolls and accounts of several companies, which is not enough for outsiders.

  Turning into the inner study, Su Lunding and Ye Mingzhang sat down, Feng Ziying said: "Is this box enough?"

  Su Lunding hesitated for a moment, "Master Feng, I'm afraid it's too heavy, it's far beyond our imagination, and there are even some things..."

   Glancing at Ye Mingzhang, who was expressionless and deaf, Feng Ziying knew that this guy was obviously only in charge of supervision, but he didn't want to get involved at all. Su Lunding probably regretted it now.

  Feng Ziying smiled, lifted the lid of the box casually, and then flipped through the various books, letters, and scrolls stored inside, and picked out a few to read, but her brows became more and more frowned.

   "Have you two seen it?"

  Feng Ziying's casual remark made the two Long Jinwei's thousands of households nervous. Ye Mingzhang immediately shook his head, "No, I haven't seen it."

  Seeing Feng Ziying's eyes fell on him, Su Lunding smiled wryly, "I've read the booklet, but I haven't finished it. I read it roughly, and I flipped through the other things. I looked up the letter and didn't read it..."

This matter cannot be avoided, the other party is not afraid of it, but Su Lun must know that his identity is different, and he may be trapped and unable to escape, but if you say you haven't seen it, you can't justify it, otherwise, why would you put this Bring the box here?

  Feng Ziying raised her head, thought about it, and then picked out a few books to look at, her expression became more and more serious, and finally threw it into the box, and then took out the booklet.

   "Burn the rest." Feng Ziying said lightly.

   "Burn?!" Both Su Lunding and Ye Mingzhang were taken aback. After spending so much effort to find these things, they burned them without saying a word?

"Keeping it is harmful but not beneficial, not to mention who can believe that we burned it now? What if you just find more witnesses? Will they believe it?" Feng Ziying said coldly: "We know that we burned it. , others, let them twist their hearts."

If you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s fine, but as long as Feng Ziying decides, it’s fine. Compared with those letters, these books are not a problem. It's irrelevant.

   "Master Feng, shall we report the truth to Master Tongzhi?" Su Lun decided to follow up.

   "Report, I believe Master Lu can understand the difficulties." Feng Ziying smiled, Lu Song will definitely report to Emperor Yonglong, and Emperor Yonglong can also understand his intentions.

   Just when practicing state affairs was busy, Feng Ziying relaxed.

They are really born to practice state affairs, and they have never been exposed to such things, but they are also Jinshi, and with the assistance of Wang Wenyan and Duan Xigui, the general direction does not understand that Wang Wenyan is mentioning it. If you don't understand the details, Duan Xigui brought a group of "technocrats" to help sort out and check, and soon a few people got on the road, and they worked harder and harder.

   Which of these salt merchants can say that there are no tricks in it, as long as you are willing to pay attention to carefully check the accounts, there will be no problems that cannot be found.

   "Ziying, didn't you consider the consequences when you did this?"

  Lin Ruhai's complexion became darker and darker, but as the weather got warmer, he was still able to walk in the small garden behind the yamen.

   "Uncle, under such circumstances, I either don't come here to take over this matter, or I can only choose one or two operations..." Feng Ziying accompanied Lin Ruhai with her hands behind her back, "Uncle, what are you worried about?"

"The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing has already passed Xuzhou, and is traveling day and night. I heard that the boat leaked in Jining Mansion and nearly drowned, which delayed him for two or three days. Later, in Xuzhou, he almost got jealous and caused trouble... "

  Lin Ruhai glanced at his son-in-law.

  Feng Ziying laughed indifferently, "It seems that the censor Xie is not very lucky. I heard that he was kissed by the censor Liu of Youdu?"

  Lin Ruhai couldn't see the clues, but he was sure that most of what happened to this censor surnamed Xie during his journey from Jining had something to do with his son-in-law.

  Although there is no clue at all, Wu Yaoqing disappeared ten days ago, and Lin Ruhai didn't ask.

However, Wu Yaoqing has close ties with various forces in various places on the line from Jining to Yangzhou. Of course he knows it. Whoever instigated him? Everyone doesn't want to talk about it.

"Then uncle, what do you think the censor came to Yangzhou from the south?" Feng Ziying asked, "People from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate have also arrived, but they still can't find a clue like headless chickens. The Forbidden Captain suddenly made trouble among the salt merchants, what does Uncle think of this scene?"

  Lin Ruhai shook his head. His son-in-law was really afraid that the situation would not be chaotic enough. Both the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate were about to arrive, but he looked confident.

"That Xie Yushi is probably here to cheer for some people?" Lin Ruhai said in a flat tone, "I am not in good health, and I can't handle many things by myself. Although I am capable in classical Chinese, I don't have enough status. You are so overwhelmed by me that you have finally waited for this opportunity, why don't you want to seize it?"

  Feng Ziying asked nonchalantly, "Then the Tao Yun salt envoy is not afraid that the imperial court will parachute a patrol salt censor, and he will fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain?"
