An Zhichen returned to the barracks and told the second old lady about the General Military Mansion. The second old lady nodded and talked about Qin Cha: "Qin Cha didn't show up yesterday, but he took his entourage to pay a private visit." ”

The messenger appointed by the emperor is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. The sister of Deng Bin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was more favored by the emperor, and because of his sister's kind words, he got this fat difference. To put it simply, this is a chincha who relies on nepotism.

An Zhichen's face instantly turned bad: "Haikou Yunlong is mixed, Qincha actually paid a private visit?" "Is this Qincha in the water, he is here to investigate a maritime businessman's corruption and bribery case, not to investigate any human life grievance case, what can be visited by a private visit? Could it be that ordinary people would know that the imperial court ordered officials to confiscate and accept bribes?

The second old lady's face eased a lot, "The point is not Qincha, but that King Duan also arrived in Haikou this afternoon." "The reason why the second old lady is worried that Haikou will be chaotic is because this Qin difference is not enough to control the field. It is important to know that Haikou is entrenched by many forces, and it is a real place where clouds and dragons are mixed. Then Deng Bin is a straw bale who relies on nepotism, not to mention that he can solve the affairs of Haikou, it would be good not to mix the water of Haikou even more muddy. But if Qin Cha is the king of Duan, it will be different, the king of Duan has a noble status, a high status, and can be stable.

It is not unreasonable for the second old lady to suspect that the real Qincha is King Duan, King Duan will not come sooner or later, but this time is too coincidental.

An Zhichen thought for a moment, "Uncle, we still respond to changes with the same. "As long as Haikou is not chaotic, they can watch.

Deng Bin Weifu paid a private visit for ten days, and when everyone was anxious about this Qincha, Deng Bin finally received the complaint against Zhou Shu for forcing people to die, and then opened the court for interrogation. Zhou Shu, as the defendant, did not attend at that time, but only asked the steward to come over for a hearing.

Zhou Shu is rich and rich, but for a person like Deng Bin, who thinks highly of himself, he is also a businessman, and Deng Bin doesn't buy his account at all.

Everyone in the capital knows that Deng Bin is on nepotism, where can he be seen in the real powerful family, but the more such people want to save face.

Deng Bin asked the guards around him to personally bring Zhou Shu to the hall for interrogation. As a result, Zhou Shu couldn't say a word about the plaintiff's rebuttal, and Zhou Shu also came up with sufficient evidence to prove that the plaintiff was falsely accusing him, and a lawsuit ended up being a joke.

An Zhichen heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head, fortunately, Qin Cha is not this straw bag, otherwise Haikou really doesn't know what the chaos will be.

And basically at the same time, King Duan found the second old lady of the An family. With the assistance of the second old lady, King Duan invited three officials at once. One is the prefect of Haikou, and the prefect is in charge of all government affairs in Haikou; The second is Tongzhi, who is in charge of all taxes in Haikou, which is a trading port and pays more taxes in a year than a province; The third is the salt transport envoy in charge of Haikou's salt transportation, which makes sea salt and sells it inland, which is also a large part of the fiscal revenue.

Duanwang's style was very tough, and on the one hand, he forcibly invited these three officials to his residence for tea, and on the other hand, he instructed the second old lady An to let people raid the homes of these three officials.

In the past ten days, King Duan has roughly figured out the situation in Haikou, and the three people he arrested are definitely the most corrupt officials.

Raiding the house or something, that's the favorite thing to do as a soldier, in the past, people from the yamen went there, but this time Duanwang couldn't trust the local people, and directly used the navy.

The soldiers were divided into three ways, and An Zhichen also brought a pair, and he went to copy the prefect's house, which was the fattest one.

Before everyone entered the prefect's house, An Zhichen said to everyone: "It's not easy for brothers, and I'm not embarrassed, but I have to act in a measured manner, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." "It's rare to give everyone a fat difference for oil and water, and it can't be said that everyone can't take any benefits, but it can't be too much, it's too much, and it won't look good at a glance.

After everyone listened to the words, they naturally had a number in their hearts, and they all picked up those particularly valuable ones and hid them on their bodies, and they didn't dare to ask for more, and each person got a few valuable things to hide close to him. With these things, it is enough for them to eat and use well for a while.

Duan Wang looked at the things collected from the prefect and was shocked, more than 20 boxes of bone Dong calligraphy and paintings, countless luxurious and precious jewelry such as jewelry and diamonds, as well as gold and silver utensils, all kinds of precious ornaments, skins, etc., and then collected the silver tickets of the land deed field enterprises, Duan Wang's eyes were almost blinded.

In addition to the prefect, the other two people are not much different.

Even if they wanted to deny that they had taken bribes, they couldn't explain why they had millions of taels worth of property at home.

Duanwang acted vigorously and resolutely, pulling radishes and digging out a big ** official, and the number of people involved reached half of all officials, which is still the premise of letting go of those officials who were greedy and made small mistakes, otherwise it would not be this number.

An Zhichen knew that Yue Yao liked calligraphy and painting, and if it was usual, he would definitely get a lot of them for Yue Yao. It's just that this case is too serious, and with Duanwang in charge, he doesn't dare to touch those calligraphy and paintings worth thousands of gold. However, the officials are all people who like to be vassals and elegant, so they have a lot of books in the house.

Raiding homes is to pick up valuable things to move, such as jewelry, bone Dong calligraphy and painting, because the value of these books is difficult to estimate, so for these soldiers it is almost like waste paper, so it is very easy to collect some books on this occasion.

An Zhichen searched the prefect's house in Haikou, and the prefect's house must not be said to have a collection of books, so he must choose it first. The other two also greeted the generals who led the team, and after making a selection, An Zhichen intercepted what he had seen and sent it to Yueyao.

As soon as An Zhichen asked people to send these books to Yueyao, he heard a guard come over and say, "Lord An, the prince is invited." ”

An Zhichen wondered why King Duan invited him over.

King Duan was wearing a regular robe, but his momentum was terrifying, "I heard that you have hidden a beautiful lady in the General Military Mansion?" In order to please the beautiful lady, send books to please the beauty? King Duan also heard the guards around him talk about it.

Duan Wang had a very good impression of Yueyao, so when he heard that An Zhichen had a stunning beauty and placed this beauty in the General Military Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Yueyao in his heart, where is such a man worthy of Yueyao's life! Yueyao is good at drawing, but this vision is really not good!

King Duan felt sorry for Yueyao, and naturally An Zhichen was not very pleasing to the eye, and he was not polite when he spoke, "What kind of beauty made General An put people in the General Military Mansion regardless of the gossip?" Can you also meet this king? "As a prince, King Duan has a noble status and a high seniority, as long as he doesn't do anything rebellious, even the emperor has to give him three points of face, he said that he wants to see, how dare An Zhichen refuse!

It is precisely because of such a strong father that no matter how arrogant Wanhe and the county lord are, no one dares to say anything in front of him, at most he mutters a few words in private.

An Zhichen's heart tightened, he thought that someone had given him eye drops in front of King Duan, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, that woman was originally the Oiran of Wanhualou, and that time his subordinates kicked the pirate's den to rescue her, I saw that she was pitiful and homeless, so she was temporarily placed in the General Soldier's Mansion." "The real situation must not be told to King Duan.

King Duan seemed to have a smile on his face, a man, three wives and four concubines are very common, but if you dare to do it, it will be overwhelmed, "What, is General An reluctant?" ”

An Zhichen's face froze, "The last general will not dare." ”

An Zhichen looked very bad after leaving King Duan's house, and he didn't know who gave him eye medicine in front of King Duan, so that King Duan didn't like him.

Yue Yao saw more than ten boxes in front of her, and when she heard her mother-in-law say that all the boxes were books, Yue Yao smiled and said, "Is this planning to open a bookstore?" ”

Yue Yao said so, but she is a book lover, and books will become moldy if they are locked in the cabinet all the time, especially in Haikou, where the air is filled with moisture, Yue Yao plans to take these books out to dry.

Yueyao didn't ask Yahuan to help, but put them on the table to dry them one by one, but soon Yueyao found that something was wrong, the books in the box were very miscellaneous, there were books with scientific research annotations, famous calligraphy, medical books, and some solitary books, but these books all had a characteristic, they all looked relatively old.

When Yueyao saw the copybook of "Cursive Thousand Character Text", she flipped through it word by word, and when she saw the end, Yueyao was shocked. If her judgment is correct, this "Cursive Thousand Character Script" calligraphy is genuine.

Yue Yao determined that this calligraphy was genuine, and she didn't post the books at the moment, so she directly began to sort out these books, and it took most of the time for Yue Yao to finally divide the books into three categories, treasures, solitary books, and idle books.

Yue Yao looked at a large box of treasures and lone books, and couldn't help laughing, and she didn't know where An Zhichen got these things.

An Zhichen looked for the second old lady and told the second old lady Duanwang's words, "Uncle, I don't understand who can't get along with me." "He really hasn't offended anyone in Haikou, well, to be exact, he hasn't offended anyone who can take eye medicine in front of King Duan.

The second old lady was also surprised, "No one in Haikou will definitely say anything about you in front of King Duan, have you offended King Duan in the capital?" "If the nephew and grandson dislike King Duan, when King Duan returns to Beijing and casually says a few bad words in front of the emperor, it will also hinder the future.

An Zhichen shook his head, he hadn't even seen King Duan in the capital, where did he get offended, this is really inexplicable.

The second old lady couldn't think of anything, "Wait and see what happens." "I don't know why, but it's not a good idea to act rashly.

An Zhichen felt that it was not quite right, "Uncle, why didn't King Duan order Zhou Shu to be arrested?" "Zhou Shu is the biggest briber, and he has done a lot of evil things, and there are many people who died at his hands, but King Duan copied so many officials but didn't touch Zhou Shu, which is very unreasonable! But if King Duan doesn't give an order, they can't arrest anyone.

The second old lady said: "Although Zhou Shu is a maritime merchant, but his power in Haikou is intertwined, and his trading house occupies one-third of the taxes in the entire Haikou, Duan Wang will not move him without sufficient evidence, and now for Duan Wang, the rule of officials in Haikou is the key, and the others can be cleaned up slowly, but you don't have to worry, Zhou Shu is already under surveillance." It may be because it is about himself, so the second old lady feels that An Zhichen is a little anxious this time and has lost his usual calm.

An Zhichen thought for a while and felt that it made sense, "Uncle, Zhou Shu is very cunning, it is better to send more people to monitor, in case he feels that something is wrong and escapes, it will be disadvantageous." ”

The second old lady bowed, "I will make people pay attention to this matter." But you also have to deal with the affairs of the prince's side. "King Duan is the real person at the top of the pyramid, and it is very disadvantageous to offend such a person.
