"That's fine!" When Jiang Dong heard this, he immediately agreed.

Although he knew that Zhang Pu chose Changshu County, he must have troubled Qian Qianyi.

If it were an ordinary official, then Qian Qianyi was the leader of Donglin, and he was famous all over the world, and his confidants and comrades were all over the court, and there were even many feudal officials among them. Just like in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Changshu official Zhang Hanru reported Qian Qianyi's corruption and lawlessness to the imperial court, and as a result, the governor Zhang Guowei and the governor Lu Zhenfei wrote a letter to avenge their grievances. Now among these two people, Zhang Guowei is also reused by the emperor and went to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to build water conservancy.

In such a context, who dares to offend Qian Qianyi!

However, for Jiang Dong, none of this is a problem. He is a person from the East Factory, and he directly obeys the orders of the Admiral of the East Factory, but in fact, he is the factory father, and he has nothing to do with the outer court at all, and he can't control him. What happened to the leader of Donglin? What about being famous all over the world? No matter how many people defend Qian Qianyi, what are they afraid of?

In addition, Jiang Dong was born as a refugee, and he almost starved to death on the streets of Beijing. Therefore, he was particularly resentful of the lawlessness of officials. Now Zhang Pu wants to check this Qian Qianyi, for him, it is definitely necessary to cooperate.

Therefore, in front of Zhang Pu, he immediately began to send his subordinates, assigned them tasks, and simply sent his subordinates first.

Zhang Pu, who watched this situation from beginning to end, felt like he had taken a reassuring pill in his heart, and felt that he was a little more sure of what he was going to do. At this time, he felt that the East Factory was good. Thinking about the past, I also wrote "The Tombstone of Five" to attack them, and I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

So, in the next two days, Zhang Pu continued to act in Yangzhou Mansion. His city is a bit deep, and he also looks good when he acts, which makes those people led by Qian Qianyi feel very happy to play Zhang Pu around. For this reason, I don't know how many times I laughed at Zhang Pu.

On the morning of the third day, when Zhang Pu was about to leave for Changshu immediately, Yang Tinglin, the new imperial historian of Nanjing's left capital, arrived at Yangzhou Mansion and came to meet Zhang Pu as soon as possible.

In terms of official position, Yang Tinglin is much more. However, Zhang Pu actually has the title of Qincha, so it was Yang Tinglin who came to visit Zhang Pu.

In fact, in the past, Zhang Pu was also jealous of Yang Tinglin, and after only a few years of Jinshi, he became the imperial history of the right capital. The speed of this promotion is rare in the officialdom of Daming. And he, Zhang Pu, has always been just a mediocre Jiji.

However, he also understands that Yang Tinglin can have today, and he fought for his life. It is said that at that time, there were many Jianyu scouts in the land of Gyeonggi, but Yang Tinglin was not afraid at all, and went back and forth to various armies, running for Lu Xiangsheng and asking for help, so that he had the opportunity to be reused by the emperor.

Now, he also has a chance, if he can do this errand well, he believes that he will definitely be able to be reused by the emperor.

Therefore, this time, when he heard that Yang Tinglin was visiting, he didn't dare to take it big at all, so he quickly stopped to pack his luggage and went out of the Yingyi Station.

Yang Tinglin's big red robe was particularly eye-catching, so that Zhang Pu couldn't help but envy when he saw it. However, before he could speak, Yang Tinglin asked with a serious face: "I heard that here in Yangzhou Mansion, the lawless people are extremely arrogant, not only blatantly burning the yamen, but also teasing you." Is there such a thing? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Pu keenly felt that Yang Tinglin was here to help him, which made him a little surprised.

You know, since he took this errand, he has become persona non grata in officialdom. If the attitude is worse, they will use the excuse to speak ill of him; The one who is deeper in the city is far away from him. All in all, not a single person extended a friendly hand to him.

Even his teacher, Zhou Yanru, must have known that he was teased and ridiculed in Yangzhou Mansion, but he didn't say a word. Otherwise, with Zhou Yanru's fame, at the age of twenty, he would be the champion and champion, and his reputation would definitely be no worse than Qian Qianyi, and he would definitely be able to deter some people.

Therefore, Yang Tinglin's words of concern for him made him very moved, and he couldn't help but have a sharp increase in his favorability towards Yang Tinglin.

"It's true!" Zhang Pu immediately replied, and when he wanted to say more, he heard Yang Tinglin ask: "Yangzhou prefect, all the relevant yamen, can the criminal be traced?" ”

"Nope!" When Zhang Pu heard this, he had no choice but to answer again, and then immediately added, "Even the progress of the case is perfunctory, just saying that it is being investigated, there is no follow-up!" ”

Another reason why this is the case is that Zhang Pu is only a seven-grade patrol after all, and the prefect of the family is still a fifth-grade person. However, Zhang Pu has the right to assess, but for the level of the prefect, the impact is also limited. Therefore, if people don't have anything special, they will follow Zhang Pu. However, once you get to something of special interest, people want to ignore you, as long as you don't know it, there is nothing you can do about it.

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately said: "The arrogance of the criminal is really rare in the Ming Dynasty. It is really unreasonable to show such blatant contempt for the imperial court and not to do his best! Don't worry, the official will stare at this matter to see how perfunctory they are? ”

He was really resolute, and after he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left. This made Zhang Pu stunned, this ...... This Lord Yang is worthy of having experienced the battlefield, and he speaks and acts so neatly!

However, after Yang Tinglin walked a few steps, he remembered something, so he turned around and told Zhang Pu: "You should do your things with your heart, if you encounter someone in the officialdom who deliberately makes things difficult for you, send someone to send a message to the official, and the official will look at it, what kind of person dares to hinder Qin Cha from doing things for the emperor!" ”

After saying this, he really had to stride away, and he didn't sit in a sedan chair, but just rode a horse, and went in the direction of the yamen of the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Looking at Yang Tinglin's back, Zhang Pu was surprised for a long time before he came back to his senses, and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Lord Yang, you are really the mainstay of my Ming officialdom!" ”

Jiang Dong on the side listened to it, and nodded with a smile. Then he looked at Zhang Pu and asked him, "Then shall we go?" ”

If you don't leave, you will stay here to see how Yang Tinglin will fight with the gang here in Yangzhou.

Yang Tinglin is now the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it can be said that he is the boss of the hundred officials who supervise the civil officials. When he comes out to deal with those officials, it will have a great deterrent effect, even if he is only the imperial history of the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is also very heavy.

"No, we're going as planned, and we're going to leave at once. Walk! After waiting for a while, Zhang Pu shook his head and said categorically.

When Jiang Dong heard this, he was naturally the main one, and immediately packed up his things, without anyone informing him, and immediately left Yangzhou Mansion, put the boat south, crossed the Yangtze River, and went straight to Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture.

Within a day, he rushed to Changshu County. However, he didn't make a big fuss, just stayed on the ship, and Jiang Dong sent his men to go ashore in plain clothes, and he had already arrived at the army before he went to contact first.

Half a day later, the man was found. was in the cabin, and this time it was to Zhang Pu: "Here in Changshu County, the biggest landlord is Qian Qianyi. Nearly half of the grain fields are owned by the Qian family. In the past, the Zhang family, one of the local clans, had someone take the clan field as their own and donated it to the Qian family. When the Zhang family found out afterwards, they asked the Qian family for it, and finally fell out. This Zhang family also has an official in Beijing, called Zhang Hanru......"

At this point, there is no need to go on. Because the next thing is related to the East Factory. At that time, Cao Huachun was the duke of Dongchang Factory, and when it came to the court dispute, Shoufu Wen Tiren also aimed the spearhead at Cao Huachun, but was knocked down by Cao Huachun's backhand, and at the same time, he was also unlucky Zhang Hanru and was killed by Dongchang with a cane.

Zhang Pu naturally knows about this matter. He doesn't care about whether Zhang Hanru died in vain. He was concerned about his errand, so he immediately asked the servant again: "How is the county government's field account book?" ”

Hearing this, the servant did not answer immediately, but untied a large package on his back, spread it out in front of him, and said at the same time: "This is to send silver to the yamen, and directly stole the land account books in the yamen, all of which are related to the Qian family." Others, too much inconvenient, there is no want. ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he didn't care whether this method was good or not, and immediately asked for the field account book, and began to read it in detail. Indeed, his focus is on the Qian family.

Even when it got dark, he refused to put it down, so he lit an oil lamp and watched it all night.

The light on the ship is not good, and there are water waves, which leads to frequent movement of the ship, and it is very difficult to read the account book under such conditions. But Zhang Pu didn't care, he kept watching.

In the middle of the night, when Jiang Dong had rested, he saw Zhang Pu with a successful smile on his face, closed the account book, and then looked at Jiang Dong and said with excitement: "It's really a big fish." According to this account book, even when Qian Qianyi, a dog thief, was still an official in the court, the Qian family had far exceeded the preferential and exemption limit stipulated by the imperial court. In addition, the Qian family has been in arrears since he was in the first class and three jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli. Among them, only in the fourth year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse after Wei Zhongxian took power, he paid part of the tax. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Dong to speak, he immediately sighed and added: "For the sake of the old man and not repairing, taking advantage of the imperial court, he would rather spend the money on a famous prostitute than pay this money, he is really a leader of the clear stream!" ”

In the end, it was already a thick ironic tone.

He didn't know that Qian Qianyi was already making a promise to Liu Ru at this time. As long as Liu Ru agrees to marry him, she will build a special building for her.

In the original history, that is, by the next year, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, fifty-nine-year-old Qian Qianyi really married twenty-three-year-old Liu Ruyi. After getting married, Qian Qianyi built a spectacular and gorgeous "Qianyun Building" and "Red Bean Pavilion" for her in Yushan, and the golden house was hidden. The two lived together in Qianyun Tower, and they were relatively happy to read and discuss poetry, and Qian Qianyi jokingly called Liu Ru "Liu Confucian". And this year, it has reached the penultimate year of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, the people are not living, famine, locust plague, plague, thieves, military disasters, etc., I don't know how many places the people have died. But the imperial court is powerless about it, there is no money, not to mention disaster relief, and even military salaries cannot be paid.

Besides, after Jiang Dong listened to Zhang Pu's words, he was also very indignant. For this so-called Qingliu leader, in his opinion, he really has to be a watch and set up a memorial arch, which is much more hateful than ordinary corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

Therefore, Jiang Dong immediately asked in a cold voice: "In this case, what should adults do?" ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he sneered and said, "The first fire of this official was burned from the Qian family!" Let others see, if they eat the court, the official will definitely make them all vomit! ”

So, early the next morning, Zhang Pu gave an order, and a full set of honor guards for the patrol were put out. A group of people went directly to Changshu County.

This time, there was no delay at all, and after arriving at the county office, he immediately sealed the warehouse where the field account books were stored, and immediately asked the Changshu county magistrate to transfer manpower to listen to his call. The menacing momentum can be felt by anyone who sees it.

Qipin County Order, even ordinary patrols can't be disobeyed, not to mention, Zhang Pu also has a mission of Qincha.

So he immediately agreed. But at the same time, he also secretly sent people to hurry to Qian's house to report the news.

The fact that Zhang Pu almost killed Qian Qianyi in Yangzhou Mansion has already been reported to Changshu County. Originally, I was a little panicked here, after all, I tore my face with Zhang Pu, but after hearing that Qian Qianyi was powerful in Yangzhou and played Zhang Pu, the people here were relieved.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Pu suddenly appeared in Changshu County, which made the people of the Qian family feel a little bad. When the Qian family knew that the purpose of Zhang Pu going straight to the county government was to take over the treasury first, and the county respected to mobilize manpower to listen to it. They knew that Zhang Pu was definitely coming for their Qian family.

This time, they can't do it without panicking. Sent people overnight to Yangzhou Mansion to ask Qian Qianyi to come back to sit in the town.

The Zhang family in Changshu, because Zhang Hanru, who was an official in Beijing, was killed with a cane, lost his greatest support, and was overwhelmed by the Qian family, who had already formed a grudge. At this time, when I heard about Zhang Xun's press, I couldn't help but look forward to it, and I couldn't wait for Zhang Xun's press to kill the Qian family.

To this end, the patriarch of the Zhang family held a meeting of clan elders overnight. In fact, in a house, seven or eight old men gathered around a table, smoking dry cigarettes, and talking.

The patriarch Zhang Binhong was about fifty years old, a little younger than the others present, and he talked about the general matter, and then asked the clan elders for their opinions, whether to fall into the well and take this opportunity to bring down the Qian family!

What made Zhang Binhong a little unexpected was that it backfired, most of the clan elders felt that the Qian family was powerful, and this Zhang Pu might not be able to bring down Qian Qianyi. If the Qian family knew that the Zhang family had fallen into the trap after turning back, the Zhang family would definitely die a miserable death. Therefore, they are old and serious, just look at it first and then talk about it.

In this regard, Zhang Binhong was a little unwilling, and after the meeting ended, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to anonymously report the Qian family's bad things that he knew to the patrol.
