The group sailed down the Min River, and by mid-afternoon of 25 May, they finally arrived at the port of Thornton outside Fuzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shen Xi was ordered to control the military affairs along the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.

It is equivalent to saying that he has the power to promote the command of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and in the event of war, even the Fujian Governor has the qualifications to be transferred.

There are three capital divisions and one line of capital divisions in the three provinces, and Shen Xi is the nominal supreme official, but in fact, his official rank is not as high as that of the commander of the second rank and the commander of the second rank. Not to mention that there were also garrison eunuchs and town guard eunuchs in the local area, these eunuchs belonged to the emperor's domestic slaves, and they had great authority and had the right to supervise local military and political affairs.

But Shen Xi is a civilian official leading the army, his three products, genuine, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals has been greatly reduced, even if Shen Xi faces the commander with higher official quality than him, he will not fall behind at all.

After getting off the boat, Shen Xi insisted on entering Fuzhou City and staying at the official post in the city. Yu Niang stayed directly in the inn outside the city, or directly crossed the Min River, hurried to the road, and stayed overnight at Datianyi in the north of Fuqing, but she couldn't persuade her, so she had to turn to Jiang Liwei for help. Jiang Liwei also felt that it was best not to provoke the cow ghosts and snake gods in Fuzhou, so she hit it off. The two took turns to fight, hoping that Shen Xi would see the situation clearly and leave Fuzhou City, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.

Before leaving, when Shen Xi took Xie Hengnu back to the door, Xie Qian reminded Shen Xi to keep to himself after arriving at the place, and let him finish this errand smoothly.

Shen Xi estimated that Liu Daxia's explanation was basically the same, but Liu Daxia didn't tell him directly, so he confessed to Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei and asked them to convey it on their behalf.

Jiang Liwei was a little angry, and said: "Shen Hanlin entered Fuzhou to put us in danger, which is very unwise!" ”

"Oh?"

Shen Xi said with a smile, "Then according to Jiang Zhenfu's intentions, is there someone who will be unfavorable to us in Fuzhou City?" ”

Jiang Liwei didn't reply, but his expression was already revealed...... Didn't you ask knowingly? Before the collapse of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, not only the people of the Fujian Political Envoy Department were involved, but also the people who inspected the Envoy Department and commanded the Envoy Department were also involved! They know that you are a Hanlin official, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and they still dare to do this, which is to show that someone is supporting them.

When you enter Fuzhou City at this time, you clearly have the intention of liquidation, how can those people let you go?

"I don't dare to say that."

Jiang Liwei said, "But the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Shen Hanlin should know where the dangerous wall is, if he wants to contact the people of the Fujian Metropolitan Division, he can send someone to it, and he can't go into the city in person." ”

Shen Xi smiled, thinking that I didn't know that I thought that you Jiang Liwei had changed sex, and actually cared about my safety...... Didn't you think that you were born Yu and He Shengliang, and hoped that I would die sooner?

"If Jiang Zhenfu feels that this trip is not safe, if he does not enter Fuzhou City, this official will enter the city alone, life and death depend on heaven, and he will never give Jiang Zhenfu ...... There is also the jade master who is causing trouble. Shen Xi said with a sneer.

This smile made Jiang Liwei angry.

Shen Xi said that he didn't care, but he was ordered by the emperor to escort Shen Xi, if Shen Xi died in Fuzhou City, he would still have to go back to the capital to restore his life? Jiang Liwei thought to himself, this kid is clearly in officialdom with open swords and guns, but he doesn't know that open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and he dares to enter the city with so many people around him, I really don't know how the word "death" is written!

At this time, Jiang Li really hated to tie Shen Xi to Wuzhou to take up his post, but Shen Xi was now in the name of entering the city to contact the Fujian Metropolitan Command Envoy, and he had no way at all.

Time has passed, Jiang Liwei feels powerless in front of Shen Xi, and the difference between each other's official positions is getting bigger and bigger, and what is even more infuriating is that he is a military position, while Shen Xi is a civil official with a respected status.

"Tonight, we will stay at the inn in the port overnight, rest for a while, and tomorrow we will do our best to protect Shen Hanlin into the city!" Jiang Liwei angrily threw down a sentence and withdrew.

Shen Xi sighed and shook his head.

Maybe Jiang Liwei is right, it is best to pass through Fuzhou City and not enter, so as not to ask for trouble, but he is the kind of person who is not afraid of trouble.

Thinking that the local government wantonly searched and arrested the people in the Chamber of Commerce in order to plunder the money of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and even Yin's shopkeeper was implicated and died tragically, and Yin Wen's little girl was displaced, Shen Xi's fists couldn't help but clench.

If you pass through Fuzhou City this time and don't enter, you will treat me as a soft persimmon, and if I develop business in the future, you will still take me to the knife!

Now, let you know that the pot is made of iron, and know how powerful I am Shen Xi!

……

……

Early the next morning, Shen Xi and his entourage entered Fuzhou City.

Because Shen Xi did not send someone to inform him in advance, it was not until he entered the south gate of Fuzhou City that the feudal officials personally appointed by Emperor Fang Zhi Hongzhi of the local government arrived.

After Shen Xi entered the city, he directly stayed at the official post in Fuzhou City.

There are no family members in the group, including the people brought by Yu Niang, so it is relatively convenient to settle down, Shen Xi's buttocks have not yet been hot, and the Fujian Command Department sent people to give gifts.

Shen Xi, as a person sent by the imperial court to control the military power of the three southeastern coastal provinces, is still the right deputy capital of Zheng Sanpin, and his status is not comparable to that of a magistrate.

When Shen Xi entered the city, he was first thought by the local department to enter the city to loot, so he sent the gift first, and the gift was only a wooden box and a wooden box, but the weight was very heavy.

When it was sent to Shen Xi and opened, the wooden box was filled with two hundred taels of silver. As for the box, it was silk and satin, which was also worth dozens of taels of silver.

"It's a small meaning, but it's not a respect." The person who came was an experience of the Fujian Metropolitan Command Envoy, the official residence was six grades, in his forties, slightly fat, and looked like a smiling Buddha. This person's name is Zhou Xiazu, and as soon as Shen Xi saw him, he thought of the cunning and cunning Zhou Fatzi, this is "Zhou Fatzi No. 2".

The experience division in the command of the embassy department is a civilian yamen, so the people who perform their duties are usually civil officials, but they are not selected from the jinshi and juren, and most of them are shaded. These people are responsible for dealing with civil officials and nobles, involving gifts and bribes, because they can be deducted in disguise, and it can be said that they are rare advantages and disadvantages in the command and envoy yamen.

If you earn more, eat well, and live a rich life, it is inevitable that your body will be bloated.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "As soon as the official arrives at the place, the Fujian Metropolitan Division is going to bribe the official?" ”

"It's not a bribe, it's hard-earned money."

Zhou Xiazu hurriedly affirmed, "This is the rule of my Fujian Metropolitan Division's yamen, and all past members of the imperial court must send expressions, without exception." Lord Shen has a high position in the middle of the court, and he is also in the East Palace lecture class, serving as His Majesty's daily lecturer, and his future is unlimited, which means that there is still to be it. ”

Zhou Xiazu is very smart, he deliberately did not mention Shen Xi's temperance relationship with the command of the Fujian capital, emphasizing that Shen Xi is a Beijing official, and he is a Hanlin official, in fact, he wants to remind Shen Xi, you are always a noble official in the capital, come to the place to mix qualifications, and do not interfere with each other's well water, don't worry about our small local officials, everyone is harmonious, you get rich, our life is better, and we can be safe.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Zhou has experienced this, it seems that this official has to accept this kindness." Come on, bring the gift down. ”

Shen Xi knew each other so well, which immediately put Zhou Xiazu at ease, and he proposed to retire at the right time, and went back to command Chang Lan to return to his life.

However, it was said that this Chang Lan was transferred to Fujian from the three sides of the northwest and served as the Fujian Metropolitan Division for less than a year.

Chang Lan is not a noble, but because of his honor, he has risen all the way to become the capital of Fujian today, and belongs to the kind of people who make enough money in the local area and then pay tribute to the money.

When the others left, Shen Xi said to himself: "Could it be that this Chang Commander, I don't know that I am the Shaodong of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Chang Lan just arrived at the place, after Chang Lan arrived, the case of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce had been concluded, the silver that should be fished out, the shops that should be seized, had already been completed, and the predecessor had already fished away the silver, so strictly speaking, Chang Lan was not involved in the case of plundering the Chamber of Commerce.

However, the three local divisions of Fujian have always been a raccoon dog, and both the predecessor and the successor are inextricably linked, as if they were all in command of Fang Guan at the beginning, and they are good friends with his two successors.

Yu Niang entered the main hall and asked curiously, "My lord, why did you accept the meeting gift from the Fujian Dusi?" ”

"The jade master thinks it shouldn't be accepted? Why not? ”

Shen Xi smiled faintly and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being reported and exposed?" ”

Yu Niang smiled bitterly: "This meeting gift, even if it is reported to the court, what can it be?" It's just that this will damage the adult's name......"

Shen Xi shrugged: "Then I'll follow the words of the jade master, how much damage will this little meeting gift do to the reputation of this official?" ”

Now Yu Niang has nothing to say.

After Shen Xi went south, she did many things that seemed incomprehensible to her, such as parting ways with her relatives, kidnapping Tang Yin, leaving the coastal road to go far away, entering Fuzhou City, etc., and now there is one more bribe.

If Shen Xi is like others, he was born in a poor family and has suffered enough, then it is understandable to take bribes, the more officials who come out of the bottom of society, the easier it is to be corrupted, because they know the pain of having no power and no money, but who is Shen Xi? At the beginning, the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce amassed a huge amount of money, and now Shen Xi has never worried about money, how could he sell his temperament for two hundred taels of silver?

Shen Xi sighed: "The jade master must understand the suffering of this official, if this official does not accept it, in addition to making the people of Fujian Metropolitan Division vigilant, what will be used to recruit and raise troops when he turns around?" If there are no soldiers, who will quell the bandits? ”

Yu Niang thought about it, it was such a truth, but she still couldn't accept Shen Xi's bribes.

But as soon as he turned around, Shen Xi ordered: "Come here, send these gifts to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and say that it is a little meeting gift sent by this official passing through Fuzhou." ”

Yu Niang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, Shen Xi's unexpected behavior was almost going to torture her crazy.

"What are you doing, sir?" Yu Niang had the urge to pick Shen Xi's head open and see what was inside.

Shen Xi explained: "The official suddenly realized that the Fujian Metropolitan Division was a yamen that provided soldiers and horses to the official, and if he wanted to recruit money and grain to support the soldiers, he had to cooperate with the political envoy and the yamen. Then you might as well borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and send the gifts from the Yamen of the Dusi to the Yamen of the Political Envoy. ”

"Isn't that too public? If the Imperial Historian participates in the adult's ......"

Yu Niang couldn't help but want to remind Shen Xi of the harm of doing this.

It's just that you quietly accept bribes, and now you want to use the money you received from bribes to bribe in a big way, and this movement is so big that it is impossible for the court to turn a blind eye.

Shen Xi waved his hand and said, "No way, who told the official to be strapped for money?" If you don't borrow flowers to offer Buddha, do you have to borrow money from others to give gifts? That's it, send the gift to the yamen of the political envoy, and say that it is the official who went, and don't say anything superfluous! ”

"Okay, this official has been traveling tirelessly, and he is going to go into the room to rest!"
