Chapter 37: Lucky Stars
Outside the hall of the governor's yamen were scattered more than a dozen servants, although they were old and young, and their clothes were colored differently, but without exception, they all stood silently.
The reason is simple, almost the most powerful people in the entire Zhejiang Province, or their spokesmen, are in this hall.
The world is widely implicated, and there are many appalling big lawsuits, but in the locality, there are very few such big battles, in addition to the governor's yamen, Zhejiang's political envoys, according to the inspection department, according to the inspection envoy department, and Hangzhou government have people coming, and even because of Qian Yuan's fame, the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province has come to join in the fun.
The focus of these people's attention is not on Zhang Siwei and Jin Hong, who are kneeling on the ground, and they are not interested in the fierce dog-eat-dog between them, they want to know how much money Wang Chen has made from it, and the news of Zhang Siwei's family collection of "cornucopia" has long spread throughout Hangzhou City.
Of course, after all, the governor is the governor of a province and cannot look directly, so their eyes often unconsciously fall on the recently famous Matsue Xiucai.
In this regard, Qian Yuan was also very helpless, the relevant news came out from the governor's yamen, and now the words have been circulated in the teahouse tavern in Hangzhou City......
It is said that what is the name of the book "Huating Xiucai Town Qiantang", Zhang Siwei is a demon who escaped into the Qiantang River from the sea, Jin Hong is a turtle in Hangzhou City, and he Qian Yuan bid when he was a child, and practiced with the monks in Nanjing Dabao'en Temple......
Qian Yuan studied in Nanjing in his previous life in Nanjing, and knew that the glazed pagoda of the famous Dabao'en Temple was destroyed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.
I was thinking about these things in my heart, and when I reflected them on my face, it was a breezy cloud...... Everyone only thinks that this Songjiang Xiucai is really extraordinary, but they can't see that he is thoughtful.
It's been a month, and ordinary people are still secretly speculating about Zhang Siwei's house being raided, but these people sitting in the hall or the masters behind them naturally know it.
It was this Songjiang Xiucai who took advantage of his strength to dig out Zhang Siwei and Jin Hong, two enemies from countless people related to the Japanese and maritime merchants, and avenged his father and brother, and at the same time gave a generous gift to the governor of Zhejiang.
It is hard to imagine that such a scheming method was really done by this seventeen-year-old boy.
Although he has known all kinds of news through various channels, and he has seen and heard it with his own eyes last night, Gu Chengzhi still feels a little unreal.
was originally bitter and stubborn, but now he is gentle and elegant.
But in the past, he could only scare people with words and put everything on his face, but now he is ruthless and revenge for grievances.
The friendly appearance and uncomfortable methods formed a huge contrast, Gu Chengzhi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for his disciple, the death of his father and brother hit him too hard, but fortunately he survived.
Jin Hong and Zhang Siwei, who were kneeling below, were still biting.
Zhang Siwei had already figured it out, and he also knew that the young man who was underestimated by himself would not let go of Jin Hong at all, and he already had the consciousness that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
But Jin Hong is different, after seeing his young son, he frantically shook out countless secret materials after being reassured.
Well, Zhang Siwei actually has a part in Wang Zhina...... No wonder so much is earned!
Oh, it turns out that a considerable part of the property plundered by the Japanese was sold through Zhang Siwei, and this is how "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" came about.
But after a long time, everyone was not interested, the biggest fat meat had already been swallowed by Wang Chen, and the bones were also put into the mouth of the governor's yamen.
Even Qian Yuan was impatient, stretched out his hand and yawned, then turned his head to look at Wang Chen...... Anyway, it's just a formality, the fate of these two people has long been a foregone conclusion, not to mention that Qian Yuan will not let them go, even Wang Chen will not.
At this moment, Jin Hong's shrill roar resounded throughout the hall, "You instructed you to loot Xie Yuyao's descendants!" ”
After a moment of silence, the hall exploded with a bang.
In the second year of Jiajing, after the battle of tribute in Ningbo, the Japanese began to frequently go ashore to plunder, in fact, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese have not been broken, but it was not until the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing that the imperial court made up its mind to enforce the sea ban, and also set up the first governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Su.
Why the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing?
That's because in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, a group of bold and arrogant Japanese robbers did a major thing in Yuyao, Shaoxing, that shocked the government and the opposition.
During the Chenghua period, the descendants of Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar in the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, were looted by a group of Japanese robbers at home, and all their property was lost, nine Xie clansmen died, and even the house was burned.
Although Xie Qian has long passed away, he has a very high reputation in Zhejiang, even if he is famous in the whole world, he and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and called "the world's three virtuous ministers".
"Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan" This sentence is spread all over the world.
Xie Yuyao's descendants suddenly suffered such a catastrophe, which caused the government and the opposition and Shilin to be greatly shaken, which is the origin of the imperial court ordering the strangulation of the Japanese and Zhu Wei's governor of Zhejiang.
Qian Yuan, who was very interested in history in his previous life, also knew about this, and looked at Zhang Siwei with curiosity in his eyes, and said that the Xie family was not clean, and he did business with maritime merchants but defaulted on goods and payments, which caused the maritime merchants to become angry, and simply retaliated by force.
There is really such a possibility, Zhang Siwei should have been involved in the maritime trade very early, he is likely to play the role of an intermediary in the early days, and those maritime merchants who were empty of money and goods looked for trouble to find him, and as a result, Zhang Siwei's heart was ......
Tsk, what a character!
Qian Yuan looked at Zhang Siwei with emotion, although it was not a good thing, but it was a rare figure in the Ming Dynasty government that bordered the world.
"It's you!" Xingshi, who is also from Yuyao, Shaoxing, couldn't help but glared at Zhang Siwei fiercely.
Zhang Siwei no longer knelt, but sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, he was not afraid of dying back then, but now he doesn't need to regret it.
"The Xie family is the first big family in Zhejiang to participate in maritime trade." Zhang Siwei sneered: "It's a pity that Xie Yuyao's descendants are shameless and have no reputation!" ”
There was another bang in the hall, and everyone was looking left and right, familiar to each other.
When Zhu Zhi had just taken office as governor of Zhejiang, some maritime merchants distributed leaflets in Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places, crying about the tragedy of being blacked out by big households.
Eighty percent of the Xie family does not repay the debts, and they may even make threats and threats, anyway, the Xie family has a deep foundation...... As a result, those maritime merchants who couldn't bear it showed their knives, force can't solve the problem, but it can solve you......
The mystery of the year was finally solved, and most of the people in the hall felt the same way...... What a death!
Wang Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, still had a wooden expression, but his heart was excited, he didn't expect that there would be such a harvest today, and finding out the culprit who Xie Yuyao's descendants were killed back then would be very beneficial to his future connections.
Glancing at Qian Yuan, who was frowning and thinking, Wang Chen felt that this little guy was really his lucky star!
