The sixth day of the third month of the leap month.

Zhejiang governor yamen outside the head of the crowd, officials, businessmen are still waiting outside, the hall of the fortunate time leisurely taste this year's Ming Qian Longjing, I don't want to make up my mind to fight this battle, the rest is not easy to say, Ming Qian Longjing has no own share.

In just two days, the news of the Ming army's attack on Ligang has spread throughout the city, and it is a fact that the imperial court has re-imposed a strict ban on the sea, but many people want to know how far this Zhejiang governor Wang Chen will go.

Is it to turn big things into small things, find a few stupid birds to kill chickens and monkeys, or follow the example of the previous one who killed the head of the person rolling, and the corpse is a sea of blood.

So in the past two days, there has been an endless stream of officials and gentry visiting the governor's yamen, but no one expected that this governor of Zhejiang would be such a thief, and the guards at the yamen were not local soldiers, but wolf soldiers transferred from Guangxi.

"Mr. Yuki." Wang Shimao, who frowned, walked into the hall, "How is the battle going?" ”

"The second young master only has to study, and the township test in the next year is a hurdle, if he can pass, it will be smooth sailing in the future, unlike someone who is lucky......" Fortunately, he didn't raise his eyelids, "Everything is expected." ”

Wang Shimao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qian Yuan is still in Ningbo?" ”

"Hehe, the second young master is still worried about him?" Fortunately, he laughed a few times, casually found a reason to send him away, and unconsciously touched the letter on the case with his right hand.

After pondering for a while, Xingshi took out the letter and read it again, guessing in his heart what the head of the Songjiang case wanted to do, Ying Xingyangtang's annual dry stock of 20% is not a small number.

As a staff member, Xingshi did not have the right to make his own decisions, but he decided to help the Qian family, the reason was very simple, Wang Chen secretly went to Shaoxing to supervise the war, and the governor of the yamen was Xingshi.

These five hundred taels of silver, two percent of dry shares, are simply falling from the sky and smashing on Xingshi's head.

Unlike other official positions, the governor is actually not an official position, but only a position, Wang Chen's actual official position is the right deputy capital Yushi, and the governor of Zhejiang and the military affairs of the admiral is his envoy, and there is no rank.

In other words, Wang Chen was a Beijing official, an official subordinate to the Kyoto Metropolitan Procuratorate, which also led to the problem that there were no other civil official positions in the governor's yamen other than Wang Chen himself.

Although the political envoy and the envoy are theoretically under the jurisdiction of the governor, they actually play the role of checking and balancing the governor and maintain independence from each other.

Of course, after taking office, Wang Chen signaled that the miscellaneous officials came to do things, but he trusted his staff more in key positions, so he became the actual second-in-command of the governor's yamen.

"Extend the period of seizure......" Yuki re-put away the letter and muttered to himself.

Half a month ago, when Qian Yuan and Zhang Juzheng came to the governor of the yamen, Qian Yuan casually mentioned that the generals of the Ming army knelt down to greet the maritime merchants, and then Zhang Siwei entered Wang Chen's sight.

Xingshi also chatted with these four people a few times, and everyone patted their chests and said that it was the duty of a soldier to kill the widows, and everyone hoped to kill the widows to make meritorious contributions, among which Zhang Siwei was the most active one.

Just thinking about his thoughts, suddenly a soldier walked in quickly, "Mr. Xing, the dock returns, Qian Yuan and his party have arrived." ”

"Well, keep an eye on them...... They came to the Yamen? ”

"No, I went to the west of the city."

"West of the city?" Fortunately, he stroked his long beard and thought hard.

"Report!" Another soldier hurriedly walked into the hall, "Good news, Ligang has been conquered, Wang Zhi was only spared, and fled in a hurry." ”

Fortunately, Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, in his thinking, the overall situation had been decided, and after taking the letter and looking at it a few times, he frowned and asked, "Actually let the Japanese enter Ningbo?" ”

"Well, it's just a small ministry, and Commander Lu has already brought troops back to help." The soldier hesitated for a moment and then said, "On the way back, I heard that there are still small groups of Japanese robbers flowing to the Jiaxing area. ”

Fortunately, Qian Yuan's words flashed in his mind, and Wang Zhi was powerless to suppress the maritime merchants under his control......

……

Although the people in Hangzhou are panicked, the basic business system has not collapsed, unlike Ningbo, which is already in chaos, and Qian Yuan was almost robbed by the wolf soldiers before leaving.

"That's it." Qian Yuan snorted and pointed to the side of the road.

This is a small shop that specializes in funeral-related items, and the owner is very happy when he sees a big deal coming to his door.

Qian Yuan put on his mourning clothes and looked at the curious Zhang Juzheng with a frown, "Uncle, didn't you go back to Beijing directly?" ”

"Don't worry, according to your speculation, it's not safe to go now."

"What's not safe in taking the canal." Qian Yuan pouted, "By the way, you owe me a big favor this time...... I saved your life...... Hey, turn your head back, don't you recognize it?! ”

"Recognize, recognize!" Zhang Juzheng glanced around, and the servants of the Qian family all put on mourning clothes, and rolled up their cuffs, looking like they were not doing good things.

After getting dressed neatly, the group walked slowly along the street, and the pedestrians on the road turned a blind eye, and it seemed that the family had died in Ningbo or Ligang......

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zhang Juzheng, the only one wearing civilian clothes, asked in a low voice.

"Go collect an account." Qian Yuan replied lightly, "An old account." ”

"Wearing mourning clothes to collect debts?" Zhang Juzheng was speechless, "Are you sure you won't be kicked out?" ”

"No, it won't." Qian Yuan turned his head to stare at Zhang Juzheng's eyes, and only said after a while: "Uncle brother, although my father and brother died, my uncle is a two-rank jinshi, my great-ancestor is the champion of the Yuangong, and the Songjiang Qian family is a scholarly family, don't you wonder why I, the head of the Songjiang case, came forward to do business in person?" ”

"You mean......" Zhang Juzheng had a flash of inspiration, "the secret recipe?" ”

"yes, that's the secret ingredient." Qian Yuan smiled faintly and pointed to the mansion not far away, "It's here." ”

Compared with Zhang Siwei's huge garden, the Jin family's house is much smaller, but the details are not inferior, with small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and strange stones, zigzag corridors, and empty stone carvings.

Before the Jin family's gatekeeper had time to ask, Zhang San waved his hand, and two strong men pounced on him and blocked him back into the gatehouse and tied him up.

"You're a little too bold." The corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched, "Jin family...... Oh, the fat guy who used to go to the shop? ”

"Well, he took the risk to report the funeral years ago, and I just returned the favor." Qian Yuan pushed the door open vigorously, "Uncle brother, come and see, this is a good scene." ”

Zhang San and his group guarded the front and rear doors, and drove all the servants of the Jin family to the side room, allowing Qian Yuan and Zhang Juzheng to enjoy the scenery in the garden.

"It's really a good view, but it's a little smaller."

"Exquisite." Qian Yuan blinked, "Small is also good for small, my mother likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, my little sister is timid, and it's not good if the garden is too big." ”
