Volume 3 Chapter 79 Acting in Secret

Yang Cong also saw that Jiajing was indeed in a hurry, so he was so happy, no matter what conditions he proposed, people agreed without hesitation.

However, from Jiajing's point of view, this is not a good thing, because Jiajing is in a hurry, he will lose patience, if he cannot reverse the situation in the southeast in a short period of time, Jiajing will easily become dissatisfied, if Jiajing is dissatisfied, Yan Song and his party and the maritime giants will have a chance.

He doesn't think that he can sit back and relax with Jiajing's approval, sometimes, when the emperor likes to go back on his word, if you dare to make him dissatisfied, people may clean you up at any time.

People are emperors, what can you do with others.

Yang Cong didn't dare to challenge Jiajing's patience, and the next morning, he took his family and called Hu Zongxian, surrounded by a group of guards and Jinyi guards, and went straight to Nanzhili.

As for the matter of Shen Lian and his hundred brocade guards, he deliberately did not mention it to Jiajing, because it was better not to ask about this kind of thing than to ask.

If someone else is the emperor can send a brocade guard to protect you, that is if people look up to you, if you take the initiative to ask others to send a brocade guard to protect you, it will be a bit arrogant.

Jinyiwei is not unable to protect others full-time, however, the general Jinyiwei full-time protection is to protect the royal family, like the prince-level royal family when the clansmen are in the domain, when the emperor will generally allocate hundreds or even thousands of Jinyi guards to protect them, these Jinyi guards are equivalent to the emperor's guards, that is to say, these Jinyi guards will be the subordinates of these princes in the future, and they are no longer the Jinyi guards in the capital, which is also the reason why there are Jinyi guards in all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the emperor's gift of Jinyiwei to a certain minister as a guard, Daming doesn't seem to have appeared for so many years, Yang Cong wants to take these Jinyiwei, but he can't mention it directly to Jiajing, if he mentions it, Jiajing is estimated to be more careful, you kid, do you think you are the prince of the royal family!

He didn't mention it, but it was fine, anyway, Jiajing had already sent Shen Lian and a hundred brocade guards to him, as long as he didn't say take it back, he would always take it with him, and everyone would just tacitly do it.

Of course, the reason why Jiajing sent these brocade guards to him was mainly to protect Lu Ling'er's safety, and he wanted to take these brocade guards with him for convenience, with this idea, he couldn't take the initiative to mention this matter to Jiajing.

Yang Cong and his entourage of more than 100 people, riding horses, riding cars, the speed is still relatively fast, about half a month, they rushed to Jinling City, Nanzhili.

Yang Cong still has a lot of old things in Jinling City, such as Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, Liu Yu, Sincerity, Zhan Ruoshui, Shangshu of Nanjing, Zhang Shiche, etc., so his power in Jinling City is not worse than Yan Song, on the contrary, with the help of Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, and Liu Yu, the Sincerity Bo, his power in Jinling City even surpasses Yan Song.

This is also the reason why he has the confidence to come to the southeast to sit in the town, if he has no acquaintances in Jinling City, his eyes are black, he really doesn't dare to take this hot potato.

After he arrived in Jinling City, the first thing he did was to buy a mansion, there was no way, he just had money, at this time the salt business in Shanxi had basically been rolled out, except for the expenses of manufacturing weapons and equipment and buying grain and grass, the Yang family and the Lu family earned more than two million taels of net profit alone, and the mansion of a few hundred taels or even a few thousand taels was not a matter for him at all.

Of course, in order to avoid giving people a handle, he was not arrogant enough to buy the most expensive and luxurious mansion in Jinling City, he just bought a courtyard covering an area of dozens of acres, which could be used by a group of people to live.

After the mansion was completed, he began to visit the big man of Yangming's lineage in Jinling City, and at this time, the military generals of Xuanfu Town, the craftsmen's equipment, and the elite of the Shenji Battalion also began to rush to Jinling, but due to the long distance, they brought a lot of materials, and it would take about a month to arrive in Jinling at the earliest.

During this time, he didn't seem to have done anything, except to visit the big guys in Jinling City to rest in the mansion, giving people the feeling that he was going to wait for all the personnel in Xuanfu Town to be in place before he took action.

Did he really plan to do so?

Of course not, Yan Song and the maritime tycoons are in the same group at this time, his actions are likely to be found out by the other party, and Jiajing's patience is limited, if he doesn't do anything for more than a month after he comes, Jiajing will probably be dissatisfied.

Therefore, he chose to act in secret, on the surface, he seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, he had already secretly asked people to start an investigation on the day he arrived in Jinling City.

He checked the leader of the Japanese robbers, Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi, although he has not seen it, he has seen it in some of his previous lives, in general, this person does not give him the impression of a bad person, on the contrary, he even feels that this Wang Zhi is a capable person worth wooing.

The reason why he told Jiajing to recruit pirates was to lay the groundwork for recruiting Wang Zhi, who was said to have been the king of Dongying, if he could recruit this person, then the pirates and pirates would not be worried.

What he did secretly was also based on the rumors he saw in his previous life, and it was rumored that this Wang Zhi was from Huizhou Mansion in Nanzhili, and his parents and family stayed in Huizhou Mansion and did not go to Dongying with him.

If this is the case, then it will be easy to do, and he will directly send someone to "invite" his parents and family members to Jinling, and he will not believe it, and this Wang Zhi will not take the bait.

He wandered around Jinling for a few days, and the news was finally discovered.

That afternoon, he was practicing calligraphy with Zhang Zhen and Lu Ling'er in the study, when suddenly the voice of his confidant Li Jianjiang came from outside: "My lord, Zhang Ping asks to see you." ”

Zhang Ping is the head snake in Jinling City, his understanding of the entire Nanzhili is stronger than that of the officials in Jinling City, and he knows many people, and it is much more convenient to inquire about the news, so Yang Cong will ask him to help investigate the situation of Wang Zhi's family.

Since Zhang Ping came to ask to see him at this time, there must be news of Wang Zhi's family, Yang Cong heard this, and hurriedly sued Zhang Zhen and Lu Ling'er, and then got up and walked to the reception hall.

After a while, Zhang Ping came to the lobby under the guidance of the guards, and as soon as he came in, he bowed his hand with a happy face: "My lord, the situation of Wang Zhi's family has been clarified. ”

Yang Cong was not in a hurry, he raised his hand to signal Zhang Ping to sit down, and ordered someone to serve fragrant tea, and then asked, "Where is Wang Zhi's family now, and what is the specific situation?" ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly replied: "My lord, Wang Zhi's family lives in Tuolin's hometown in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, his parents are still alive, and his wife and children are also at home. ”

The rumors are true, this Wang Zhi is so bold that he left his parents, wife and children in his hometown, and it will be easy to do now.

He thought about it for a while, and then said aloud outside, "Let Shen Lian come over." ”

There was a sound of obedience outside, and soon, Shen Lian walked in quickly and said, "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Yang Cong pointed at Zhang Ping, and then ordered: "You take fifty of your subordinates to go to Huizhou with Zhang Ping's people, take Wang Zhi's family over, remember, be polite to his family, don't hurt people if you can, and show your waist card so that the neighbors know that the official sent you." ”

When Shen Lian heard this, he did not hesitate to bow his hand and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”
