The governor's yamen is in the hall.

In fact, Xingshi was very busy, but he still found time to meet Qian Yuan in his busy schedule, and he was very curious about what the head of the Songjiang case wanted to do.

From the first time he came to the governor's yamen to analyze the situation of the maritime merchants and the Japanese invaders, and casually made Zhang Siwei stand out and is still detained, and then transported the goods straight to Ningbo, and returned to Hangzhou as soon as the Ming army attacked Ligang...... Fortunately, I felt that this seemingly confusing clue should have a satisfactory explanation today.

Of course, the key is Qian Yuan's identity, although his father and brother make a living in business, but there is an uncle who is a two-list jinshi, and fortunately, he accidentally heard that Qian Yuan's uncle's father Lu Shusheng and Wang Chen are the same year, and they are also the 20-year scientific examination of Jiajing, and they have a very high reputation in the Hanlin Academy.

Uh, in fact, Qian Yuan really didn't know that his uncle's maiden family was so good, in fact, Lu Shusheng's younger brother also won the Jinshi later, and his son was still a Jinshi.

Taking a sip of tea and carefully putting the teacup back on the table, Qian Yuan stared down at the ground and waited silently.

The thin three pieces of paper, fortunately, quickly browsed it, and after a while of silent calculation in my heart, I couldn't help but look up and carefully look at Qian Yuan, who was sitting there uprightly, it was really unseemly, although it was just a matter of strength, but it was able to find out the truth from nowhere, it can be seen that his person is ingenious, uh, it is a good material to be a master.

However, Xingshi didn't intend to help Qian Yuan with this, he shook the paper, "According to what you said, the Jin family and Zhang Siwei conspired to commit murder, the mastermind is Zhang Siwei, and the Jin family is an accomplice. ”

"Yes, Jin Hong has already drawn a charge." Qian Yuan put on a sad expression, "I hope Mr. Xing will help, Zhang Siwei has a lot to do with the Japanese Kou......"

"There is no evidence." Xingshi suddenly interrupted, "Although Zhang Siwei is a small boss, he has a lot of connections in the army, so he only relies on this confession ......"

"You asked me to detain me for a few more days, and I've done my best." Xingshi shook his head, "And this confession may not be detailed, the Jin family is really just an accomplice?" ”

Fortunately, he knew very well that Dong Weng Wang Chen was a person and had the courage to take on heavy responsibilities, but he was unwilling to offend people at a critical moment.

Enforce the sea ban and exterminate Ligang, it is already the most outrageous thing Wang Chen can do, if it is not for the persecution of the DPRK and China too much, he will not start, and it is okay to kill a few maritime merchants afterwards, if he kills a few Ming army generals is not willing to do it.

Xingshi's meaning is very clear, it is okay to engage Zhang Siwei to thank him, but it is okay to engage in the maritime merchant Jin family.

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, "Where did the Jin family come from to contact the widows...... And for this confession, I have promised not to trouble him again. ”

Fortunately, he smiled and didn't speak, picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip.

After a moment of silence, Qian Yuan smiled and changed the subject, "Mr. Xing, on the way back to Hangzhou, I heard that there are Japanese robbers who have wandered ashore......

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and soldiers in military uniforms could be faintly seen standing around.

"Your Excellency." Xingshi arched his hand and smiled: "I have received the letter, this time my lord came to the front line to supervise the battle, and the battle was successful." ”

Although Wang Chen still had a straight face, he smiled at the corners of his eyes, nodded and looked at Qian Yuan.

"Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng, for avenging my father and brother." Qian Yuan saluted, "That night, the younger generation saw the fire in Ligang on the drum tower in the east of Ningbo City, from small to ,......big."

In the end, Qian Yuan's voice trembled slightly, obviously extremely emotional.

Wang Chen and Xingshi were both slightly stunned, the Ming army was dispatched in the middle of the night to attack Ligang, but Qian Yuan saw the fire with his own eyes, which shows that he is very sure of the approximate time when the Ming army will start.

Xingshi squinted his eyes and looked at Qian Yuan, he was not so excited to avenge his father before, and he didn't even have a chance to say what he had typed, what did this guy want to do now?

"Mr. Qian is polite, Dong Weng was ordered to patrol Zhejiang, this is an internal matter." Xingshi picked up Qian Yuan and smiled: "It's not early, Qian Gongzi will go back first......"

"Ahem." Wang Chen coughed and interrupted the staff, "In the past few days in the army, all the food is meat, and some vegetarian food is arranged. ”

Wang Chen's original diet was mainly vegetarian, but he specially pointed it out, naturally for the sake of Qian Yuan, who was still keeping filial piety, to keep guests.

Looking at the back of Dong Weng leaving, Xing Shi blinked and glanced back at Qian Yuan, "Don't mention Zhang ...... later"

"Absolutely not." Qian Yuan smiled and nodded again and again.

Xingshi licked his lips, this thing was teary-eyed just now, how could he change his face so quickly!

Taicang Wang's poetry and book heirloom, is also an official family, food and clothing are all fine, Qian Yuan has experienced Wang Shizhen before, but this time it is also an eye-opener, probably because of the extermination of Ligang, Wang Chen is in a good mood, although there are only four people at the table, but the battle is really not small.

Wang Shimao deliberately slowed down, and glanced at Qian Yuan out of the corner of his eye, who took the towel from the maid to clean his hands, and then took the tea cup to rinse his mouth, and raised his hand slightly to let the maid pin the wide sleeves to the back.

didn't see it as a joke, Wang Shimao was a little reluctant, but Wang Chen on the side coughed slightly twice to remind his son not to make trouble, the reputation of the Songjiang Qian family is no worse than that of the Taicang Wang family.

I especially know that this guy is not a good bird, isn't it that he didn't give you face last time in the Sun family, Qian Yuan smiled on his face, and scolded in his heart, he really regarded Lao Tzu as Lin Daiyu!

After three rounds of drinking, Qian Yuan got up and raised his glass, "The younger generation replaces wine with tea, and I thank Lord Zhongcheng again." ”

"Alright, you're being polite." Wang Chen's swarthy face revealed a little flush, "I have read Sun Jiquan's reply, he values you very much, and it is said that he will keep you for a few days?" ”

"Yes, but the juniors will soon go to Ningbo." Qian Yuan replied cautiously: "On the morning of the second day when the Ming army attacked Ligang, the juniors hurriedly left the city and returned to Hangzhou. ”

Xingshi played with the white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Attacking Ligang in the middle of the night on the third day of the new year, Mr. Qian arrived in Hangzhou on the sixth day of the first ......."

Wang Chen looked at Qian Yuan, who had a calm expression, put a piece of bamboo shoot into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and asked after a while: "It is said that there were Japanese pirates flowing to Ningbo City in the early morning of that day?" ”

"Yes, and there are some maritime merchants in the city." Qian Yuan's spirits perked up, and he finally got to the point, "On the way back to Hangzhou, the younger generation heard that the army had won a great victory, and Wang Zhi was only spared...... But Haiyan, Haining and even Tonglu all had Japanese rebellion. ”

Wang Chen put down his chopsticks, sighed and nodded.

Fortunately, he glanced at Qian Yuan, the current situation is becoming more and more like what he described, Ligang was destroyed, Wang Zhi left, and the jurisdiction over the maritime merchants under his hands became weaker and weaker, and the signs of chaos in the Japanese were gradually revealed.

Qian Yuan hesitated and asked tentatively: "Lord Zhongcheng, will the Japanese invade Songjiang?" ”

Wang Chen's face changed, and he turned his head to look at Xingshi.

"This ......" Xingshi smiled bitterly in his heart, "After all, the Japanese are not an army, and there is no clear law to follow when they come and go, Matsue ...... It's possible, but Dong Weng is the governor of Zhejiang. ”

Xingshi and Qian Yuan both looked at Wang Chen, and even Wang Shimao looked at him, but the governor of Zhejiang slowly raised his chopsticks and continued to eat, and only put down the chopsticks after a while, but the towel handed by the maid wiped it.

Throwing down the towel, Wang Chen got up, "Come to the study." ”

Wang Shimao, who didn't hear his name, watched Qian Yuan leave unhappily, and the latter secretly reviewed his speech in his heart, this time he couldn't mess it up!
