On this day, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was ordered by the emperor to come to the disaster relief. The 30,000 people in Jinling City received Feng Linggan's 500,000 taels of silver, and when all the silver taels were distributed, it was already the early morning of the next day.

Feng Linggan fell off his horse, sprained his waist, and was sent back to Juzhuang. It is said that Feng Linggan wiped his tears all night in front of the empty silver box.

The eight words "The emperor's grace is vast, and the disaster relief is ordered" hangs on Feng Linggan's head like a sharp sword, even if he is given a hundred dares and the money is distributed, he will not dare to ask for it back.

The next day, I went to visit him with the last Kanto ginseng, and Feng Linggan also asked him about the baby, and I said that after that night, the other party had not contacted me. Actually, I wasn't ready to return that thing to him at the beginning of the fight, and this news made Feng Ling faint with anger.

I hurriedly pressed the other man's acupoint and woke him up. Feng Linggan cried and mourned, how can I be good?

Feng Bao comforted on the side, Father-in-law Feng, although you have scattered some money, you may also be blessed by misfortune.

What do you mean by that?

Feng Baodao: Jinling City is now suffering from a disaster, is it a fact that the people in the city have no money to spend the winter?

Gonggong Feng said yes.

Feng Bao asked again, is it true that Father-in-law Feng paid out of his own pocket to distribute disaster relief silver to the people under the banner of sainthood?

Gonggong Feng nodded again, yes.

Feng Bao smiled, it depends on what Gonggong Feng said to the imperial court.

Feng Linggan patted his thigh and said yes, Bao'er still has a good brain. How did I forget about it? However, those who are secretly calculating, our family will not spare them.

A few days later, the capital came to the court, saying that after the emperor knew about this, he praised Feng Ling and felt "loyal and brave, which is very agreeable". This made Feng Ling feel as if he had eaten candied fruit, and even the injury on his waist was healed by half.

On this day, Min Qiuye invited me to drink in Tianxianglou, which was considered to be a gambling account.

Min Qiuye was in a very comfortable mood, he was originally busy with disaster relief, but Feng Linggan came out like this and relieved the siege of the people of Jinling. I asked, whether the eight words of the emperor's grace and the order of disaster relief were his idea, Min Qiuye was secretive, he couldn't say it, he couldn't say it.

I said that the only thing that was unpleasant was that I didn't expect the capital to give him a reward.

Min Qiuye said that he paid for the silver himself, and he deserved to be rewarded.

However, Feng Linggan quickly found out about Min Qiuye from the source of the banner. This made Feng Ling feel very annoyed, and he put the extortion of silver on Min Qiuye's head, and it was said that he would give Min Qiuye a good look in private.

I reminded Min Qiuye, but Min Qiuye said that Min was walking and sitting upright, even if he wanted to splash dirty water, he had to have a chance.

I remembered that Feng Linggan framed Hu Zongxian that day, and said, this Feng Linggan has been operating in Jinling City for many years, and his power is all over the sky, and even Hu Butang has been planted in his hands, so Lord Min must not guard against it.

The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau had these messes, and the Tan Jing sent to the capital was delayed again and again, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye.

The Jinling City Government and the Weaving Bureau each contributed 300,000 taels, and the Weaving Bureau sent another 100,000 Su brocade, a total of eight cargo ships. In addition, there are some antique treasures, Jiangnan specialties, etc., and there is also a boat.

This matter is imperative, and the matter of escorting Tan Jing to the capital fell on Min Qiuye's head, and Min Qiuye couldn't trust others, so he entrusted us with this matter. First, we are from the capital, so it is convenient to do things in the capital; second, the ship responsible for escorting is from the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is under the control of the Jianghu Division.

After several joint meetings, all the silver taels and belongings began to be sealed and loaded onto ships. Min Qiuye attaches great importance to this matter, and he does not dare to be careless when it comes to money, for fear that they will do something in it.

On this day, we accompanied Min Qiuye to the wharf, under the guard of the official messenger, boxes of goods were weighed on the wharf, and then specially made a book, signed, and pasted the joint seal of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and Jinling Mansion on the box.

Min Qiuye looked at the goods on the ship and sighed, no matter how bitter the people in Jiangnan are, the people in the capital can't see it. Su Zhutou, when you arrive in the capital, if you have the opportunity, you have to reflect it to them.

I nodded in agreement. At this moment, someone rushed over in a hurry, it was Zhu Xiangtian, the leader of the Cao Gang. This guy used to be very close to the Jinling royal family, but recently the Xie family has gained power, and he has taken refuge in the Xie family, and his reputation in Jinling City is not very good. However, if you talk about freight capacity, this time, except for the Cao Gang, there is really no one else.

Zhu Xiangtian knelt down to Min Qiuye, he had seen Lord Tongzhi, but he didn't know that Lord Min was coming, and he missed the welcome, so he asked for forgiveness.

Min Qiuye is not interested in the people of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't give him a good face, saying, don't come to this set of falsehoods, I just want to see if there is a problem. Zhu Xiangtian patted his chest and said, Lord Min, please rest assured, my Cao Gang is a century-old store, and it is not once or twice to do this kind of thing, and I guarantee to complete the task.

Min Qiuye strained his face, I hope so.

Zhu Xiangtian led us to a pavilion and said, Master Min invited us here, and prepared a little wine to relieve the fatigue of several adults.

Min Qiuye said that there was no need, the official did not drink.

Zhu Xiangtian clapped his hands, only to see someone carrying three boxes up, and when he opened it, he saw that it was two white flowers and silver flowers. Each box is nearly a thousand taels. It seems that Zhu Xiangtian is well versed in this, if he gives a silver ticket, one thousand taels is just a small stack, but these three boxes give people a far more visual impact than a silver ticket.

Min Qiuye said coldly, what does this mean?

Zhu Xiangtian smiled and said that Lord Min has been working hard for the people of Jinling these days, and seeing that it was winter, he prepared some charcoal money for Lord Min.

Zhang Youqian said that Gang Master Zhu is so generous.

Zhu Xiangtian said with a smile, Su Zhutou, Zhang Zhutou, you two also have a share, and I will send it to your house later.

Min Qiuye turned around and left, Zhu Xiangtian even trotted in front of Min Qiuye, my lord, please accept it.

Min Qiuye said that you want to bribe this official?

Zhu Xiangtian shook his head again and again, and said, in fact, there is something to ask for below.

Min Qiuye stopped and said lightly, let's talk.

Only then did Zhu Xiangtian tell the story of what he wanted, it turned out that the matter of escorting imperial grain and official goods was also a fat difference for the Cao Gang.

Like an ordinary cargo ship, from Jinling to the capital to take the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, there are dozens of checkpoints along the way, each of which has to be dotted and pumped, and a boatload of goods is transported to the capital, almost four to five percent can be pumped out, but the government and the forces along the way will generally not interfere with the government's goods.

In this way, the Cao Gang can make some fuss about transporting official goods, bring some private goods by themselves, and transport them to the capital for sale, and save the commission along the way. However, nowadays, in order to prevent entrainment, the government has to inspect the goods according to the list made on the ship every time they board the ship.

If Zhu Xiangtian wants to be entrained, he must get the entrained private goods to legal procedures. The usual practice is that the normal escort of goods is one set of procedures, and counting the entrainment is another set of procedures, so that you can use a plan to hide from the world.

In the past, it was Xiao Tongzhi who was in charge of this matter, but now that something happened to him, Min Qiuye took over, so Zhu Xiangtian also followed Min Qiuye's path as usual.

However, Min Qiuye is Min Qiuye, not Xiao Tongzhi, his face sank, and he said, do things well, and don't come to these crooked ways.

When Zhu Xiangtian heard this, he was a little anxious, and blurted out, Lord Min, these goods are not all from our Cao Gang, if you don't be accommodating, I can't travel with Feng Gong.

I suddenly realized that there was an extra cargo ship, and there were Feng Linggan's dry stocks in it. Min Qiuye said, this official is a Ming official, only to the emperor, to the people of Jinling City, as for Feng Gonggong, I have no obligation to pay to him.

Zhu Xiangtian saw that Min Qiuye didn't eat oil and salt, and he lost his temper, so he had to say, you wait a while.

It didn't take long to see Feng Linggan limping over. It turned out that he had been nearby, and as soon as he arrived at the pavilion, he accused, Min Qiuye, we are officials in the same city of Jinling, and we don't see you when you look up and look down, you cut off people's money like this, isn't it okay?

Min Qiuye said Who am I, Father-in-law Feng doesn't go to the lost and found, and still has the heart to stare at the ship, it's really rare, rare! Feng Linggan's face turned pale, and said, Min Qiuye, I'll ask you, do you make a book or not.

Min Qiuye turned around, turned his back to Feng Linggan, and came according to the rules.

Feng Linggan said, good, good, Min Qiuye. As the saying goes, leave a line in doing things, and it will be good to meet in the future, and you may not have a time to fall in trouble in the future, so don't blame us for being disregardful.

Min Qiuye said that his father-in-law bothered a lot.

Feng Ling said angrily, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see. With that, he rushed out angrily.

I looked at his back and said, this person is narrow-minded, and he will repay him, and it is very likely that he will make a trick behind his back, Lord Min, you should be careful.

Zhang Youqian and I are about to set off, and before leaving, I arranged the errand of the Jianghu Division to Jiang Nan and Liu Sanjin, but fortunately, there is nothing special recently. The game between our Jianghu Division and the various sects has begun to work, and we are not ready to continue to take action for the time being.

I must continue to investigate the disappearance of Wu Saburo in Jiangnan Province. Write to us as soon as you have a clue.

This time back to the capital, in addition to the six gates, the Jinling Mansion and the Weaving Bureau each sent three people, and there were three officers and soldiers on each ship to guard. On October 28, the autumn weather was crisp, Zhang Youqian and I completed the handover in the government office, came to the dock, and prepared to leave.

I heard someone shouting, Brother Su, Brother Zhang!

As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed, it was Xie Junfan, the son of the Xie family in Jinling.

Xie Junfan said, I went out a few days ago, and as soon as I came back, I heard that the two of you were going back to the capital, so I hurried and hurried, and finally caught up.

I said, Brother Xie, what's the matter?

Xie Junfan said, do you need a reason to give a friend a trip?

The three of them laughed.

Xie Junfan said, I heard that you offended Feng Ling miserably this time, I am here to tell you to be careful on the road. The rivers and lakes have released a word to prevent the two of you from returning to the capital alive.

I wondered, who is so face-giving?

Xie Junfan sighed, I have also heard some things about you and Lord Min. This Min autumn leaves, oil and salt do not enter, it is called just and upright when it is good, and it is a tendon when it is ugly. He has only been here for less than half a year, and he has already committed public anger and offended Jinling officialdom.

I said that Lord Zhao, the governor of Yingtian, was very satisfied with him, so it was okay, the officialdom of Jinling was like a pool of stagnant water, and if he made such a fuss, he might be able to blow up a few big fish.

Xie Junfan smiled bitterly, I have been in Jinling for 20 years, I don't know how deep the water in Jinling is?

I bowed to him and said, Min Qiuye is a good official, you have a deep relationship in Jinling, please take care of me.

Xie Junfan said not to mention this, so he took out a letter from his arms and said: After Junyan arrived in the capital, he asked me to bring you a letter, I never had the opportunity to give it to you before, but I brought it to you today.

Someone in the back urged, Master Su, the auspicious time has arrived, and we are leaving!

I said a few more words to Xie Junfan and said goodbye.

On the pier, firecrackers sounded and gongs and drums rang out in unison.

Zhang Youqian and I said goodbye to everyone, and the boatman took the helm and slowly left the dock.

Zhang Youqian pointed to the letter in my hand and asked, open it and take a look.

I looked at the juanxiu Xiaokai on the envelope, remembered Xie Junyan's elegant appearance, and the words she said to me when we parted that day, and shook my head with a wry smile.

As soon as I let go of my hand, a breeze blew, and the letterhead blew into the water, and was immediately swept away by the river.

Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful.

Don't have a general taste in your heart.
