Chapter 486: Justice Never Falls
Of course, it was Zhang Mingzhen and Xu Du who came.
The process of their escape was not so thrilling, that is, they found a business in Zhangjiawan that was actually their gang, and then the latter provided horses and silver and galloped all the way south, running directly to Jiaozhou at a speed of 150 miles a day, and hired a smuggling ship in Jiaozhou that was brave enough to be fat......
Jiaozhou smuggling is also prosperous.
It's just that this smuggling has nothing to do with overseas trade.
It is mainly the merchant ships of the coastal gentry who go back and forth between Shandong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, transporting materials from the south to the north, to be precise, it is actually domestic trade, but also smuggling, and those who do not pay taxes must be smuggled. Theoretically, it is also under the control of Yang Dudu, because the Dengzhou Customs Prime Minister Shandong coastal tariffs, but Yang Dudu does not care very much about this, he is nothing more than 50,000 taels of contract fees a year, which is not worth mentioning to him at all.
Moreover, at this time, Shandong's coastal trade cannot be compared with the south, even if it is really serious, it is difficult to say whether it can collect 50,000 taels a year.
It's better to have a quiet time.
Otherwise, you'll have to spend money to maintain a smuggling squad in the area.
Yang Dudu originally contracted Dengzhou Customs to lose money, if he raised an anti-smuggling team, wouldn't he lose even more?
simply let it go, and only control the overseas trade in the Dengzhou area.
In fact, Yang Dudu will not really lose money, because he has those canneries in Dengzhou, whaling, and even mining nearby, such as graphite mines, all of which are silver.
He only collects taxes at a loss, but other businesses are profitable.
Since he is not interested in care, the coastal gentry of Jiaozhou are not happy, not only Jiaozhou, but also the entire southern part of the Shandong coast are doing this.
Chrysostom has quickly become a thriving town.
And Zhang Mingzhen and others hired a smuggling boat in Jinkou with a lot of money, bypassed the search of Jinyiwei in the canal and Henan, and went directly to the sea to ride the north wind and ocean currents that were still blowing, and went from Jinkou to Taicang in only five days, but it was useless for them to come back, because Jiangnan was also searching for them, especially Xu Dujia, who had been sealed by Jinyiwei at this time.
So they can only come to Qian Qianyi.
Because according to the plan of Wen Zhenmeng and others, even if they succeed, they will definitely have to hide temporarily.
Even if they succeed, there will be a political fight next, and their identities cannot be exposed until the end of the fight, and the killing of the monarch needs to be severely punished after all, and in Wen Zhenmeng's plan, they will come to the Qian family to hide.
Wen Zhenmeng assured them that Qian Qianyi would not betray them.
And Xu Du also knows Qian Qianyi, and even the two of them can be regarded as world friends, although there is still Zhang Cai in Taicang who is from the Restoration Society, but at this time, several main members of the Restoration Society have been targeted by Jinyiwei, and they dare not look for it, so they have no choice but to come to Qian Qianyi.
"Two righteous men, please take a seat!"
Qian Qianyi said with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Shi, how dare the little nephew, not to mention the word righteous man, the little nephew is incompetent, he can't hoe for the country but affects relatives and friends, it's really shameless to see Jiangdong's father!"
Xu Du said.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the righteous soldiers who died in the capital also sacrificed their lives for the righteousness, and their blood will not be shed in vain."
Qian Qianyi took his hand and said.
"Brother Xu, that Yang thief said that you intend to kill the king......"
Lu Gong said.
Zhang Mingzhen's face changed, and he was about to say something, but Qian Qianyi raised his hand to stop him.
"It's just rumors, you righteous people are hoeing traitors, hoeing rape is loyal to the monarch to serve the country, how can you righteous people kill the king, it's just that Yang thief planted and framed him, and made the original just an ordinary case into a reverse case to facilitate him to harm Zhongliang, this kind of thing can be understood when you think about it, hasn't he done it all these years? Those loyal people who were raided by him and destroyed their homes, which of them were not framed by him for crimes such as rebellion, and now it is not good to make a rebellion, so they just make a rebellion, and the rest is nothing more than forging some evidence and then bending into a trick.
What to dig tunnels to blow up the palace.
He made it all himself, and he used it to frame it for rebellion.
The two righteous men rest assured, no one in Jiangdong will believe this kind of nonsense, and the righteous men are just digging tunnels to blow up the Yang thief, but they were forged by the Yang thief to bomb the Academy of Sciences. ”
Qian Qianyi said.
"That's right, it's the Yang thief who framed it.
The little nephew and the righteous people who died have never done anything to kill the king and plot rebellion.
The little nephew and others dug the tunnel to blow up the Yang thief, as for why they said that the tunnel was to blow up the palace, the little nephew didn't know at all, thinking that the Yang thief secretly did something. ”
Xu Du said immediately.
He had quickly understood Qian Qianyi's intentions.
They can't be traitors who kill the monarch and plot rebellion, they can only be righteous people who hoe traitors for the country, anyway, it is impossible for the people of Jiangnan to go to the capital to drill into the tunnels to see for themselves, at present, it is only the notice issued by Jinyiwei that they kill the monarch and plot rebellion, but it is not very common for eunuchs like Jinyiwei to tell lies. What tunnels were dug to blow up the palace, they were all made up by Yang Xin in order to frame Zhongliang, even if there was a tunnel, he dug it later, there was absolutely no bombing the palace, this was just Yang Xin framing Zhongliang again.
That's it.
This can be used to whitewash them in Jiangnan.
It is indeed too appalling to say that the murder of the monarch and the rebellion are too appalling, and the common people will not support the traitor, but if it is a loyal and righteous person who was bitten back by the traitor for the failure of the country's hoe and traitor, and deliberately framed it, it will be brilliant.
"I'll just say, you righteous people will definitely not do this kind of thing, this Yang thief is too vicious, in order to be able to take revenge on all righteous people, he actually came up with this poisonous plan to frame the families of your righteous people."
Lu Gong said indignantly.
"What do the two righteous men want to do next?"
He went on to say.
Xu Du and Zhang Mingzhen looked at each other.
"Now Jinyiwei is searching everywhere, no matter where we stay, we will be a burden to others, so I want to return to Dongyang according to my hometown, Dongyang is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, even if it is easier to hide."
Xu Du said.
It's their only option.
"It's just that Jin Yiwei must have gone to Dongyang to confiscate your mansion now, wouldn't it be dangerous if he encountered it?"
Lu Gong said.
"Xu is incompetent, and it affects his family, even if he can see his family again."
Xu Du said sadly.
Zhang Mingzhen is also very sad, he is a native of Nanjing Jinyi, and his family is in Nanjing, he definitely doesn't dare to go back to Nanjing to see his family, but he really doesn't know about bombing the emperor, although he did participate in this case, but he really just thought that he was bombing Yang Xin, so when Lu Gong asked just now, he still wanted to defend himself. But at this point, these are no longer important, in short, he has nothing now, only alone, it is estimated that his house has been raided at this time.
Although his house actually doesn't have much to copy.
"I have a plan."
Qian Qianyi said suddenly.
"What is Uncle Shi's plan?"
Xu Du said.
"Qian and Ling Zun have also been friends for many years, although Ling Zun is no longer there, but at this time Qian can't sit back and watch the Yang thief brutalize the Xu family, if you want to say that you can't do anything else, but you can help the virtuous nephew find a way to rescue the family, I remember that the virtuous nephew has a wide range of friends, and there are many friends who can contribute to the virtuous nephew, right?"
Qian Qianyi said.
"Uncle Huishi, there are indeed some."
Xu Du said.
"That's easy to do, Qian Mou paid money to buy a batch of weapons, and the virtuous nephew went to contact your old friends first, as long as there are three or five hundred people, with enough weapons and ammunition, it is enough to rescue the virtuous nephew's family. At present, Jinyiwei is just sealing the door, and Yang Huan is going to copy the house, and then Yang Huan has to continue to copy the text, Chen Jiajia, it is estimated that even if he goes to Dongyang, it will take a month later. This period is enough for us to prepare, and I remember that Yang Tingshu is also your reinstated society, he is a general in the Changjie army, and He Gang in the Changsheng army is also reinstated in the society, he and his virtuous nephew are friends of life and death? ”
Qian Qianyi said.
"The little nephew and Brother He can indeed be called friends of life and death."
Xu Du said.
He and He Gang did have a good relationship, originally in history, He Gang broke off his friendship with Chen Zilong because Chen Zilong failed to save him, but at this time, He Gang had already been targeted by Jinyiwei.
"That's easy, let him find some more people with you.
Changyin, you are responsible for contacting He Gang, you are not from the Fushe, Jinyiwei will not pay attention to you, the weapons are also loaded in Songjiang, and they will be transported to Shaoxing together with the people He Gang found for you, don't go to Ningbo, I am afraid that Jinyiwei has been targeted.
Virtuous nephew, you immediately go back and gather those friends of yours to wait in Shaoxing, and when the time comes, you will go back to Dongyang to save your family after receiving people and weapons, and after you are rescued, you will directly find a place to hide in the nearby mountains.
I will inform my friends in Zhejiang by letter, so that they can spread the truth among the gentry.
They will definitely help you in the future, all that remains is to wait in the mountains for the right time, there will always be a time to put things right in this world, all you have to do is wait.
These traitors won't go on rampant forever! ”
Qian Qianyi said excitedly.
At this moment, he seemed to be shrouded in the brilliance of justice all over his body.
"What if Jinyiwei continues to pursue?"
Zhang Mingzhen said.
"What are you afraid of, you gather loyal people there, I am here to raise military supplies for you, purchase weapons and ammunition, the mountains and mountains in eastern Zhejiang are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so what can the Jinyi guard do to you? Don't you think Zheng Qianzhi is right? Then control the block by yourself, and then do what he did, and see if it really works. ”
Qian Qianyi said with a smile.
Xu Du's eyes lit up, indeed, they could do this.
If they can really establish a local government similar to Datong in eastern Zhejiang, not to mention their self-preservation, it is completely possible to realize their ideals, and in the final analysis, isn't this their purpose? Since you can't realize your ideals through the imperial court, then just leave the emperor aside, anyway, the local gentry will definitely support it, and the big deal is not to rebel, that is, to use force to control the local area and force the local officials to obey them.
It's beautiful!
Even if the court wanted to attack them, no one would do it.
The officials and troops in Jiangnan are ignored, and the local officials will definitely be willing to see them teach the faint monarch a lesson, Yang Xin's family is inferior and not worth mentioning, so at present, the emperor can mobilize the loyal and brave army in Jiangnan, and the latter dares to move the 30,000 regiments next to him to practice and immediately kill the bloody Zhaoyi.
The only problem is......
