Chapter 535: Ji Family's Salt Bag
Jiangning City has been quite lively recently, and the reason is that the Jiangning Mansion has opened the trial of Xihuai Qingpi (the latest chapter of the official situation). Zhang Erstick and others have done a lot of evil, and now that the government has eliminated harm for the people, the people naturally applauded. Many people who were fed up with the bullying of these ruffians asked someone to write a complaint against Zhang Erguo and others for being evil people.
The government was very efficient this time, and less than three days after Huang Yue handed over Zhang Erstick and others, the Jiangning Mansion began to handle the case and accept the people's complaint (read the full text of Dan Killing). It is said that there was an endless stream of people who handed in the complaint, and the papers filled the table in the court. The clerks of the Jiangning Mansion copied the key points one by one and came up with a top ten crimes.
On the day of Zhang Erba's arraignment, the Jiangning Mansion was crowded with people. Due to the large number of people, Fu Yin had to send people to select several representative families from among the bitter lords and enter the court to hear the case.
When Zhang Erstick and the others were escorted up, they were all wearing rags and rags, and their faces were swollen like pigs' heads, and they couldn't even walk. Not only that, but there is only a non-stop ah-ah sound in one mouth, and the person who even speaks can't speak. This dignity alone frightened many people, and many people couldn't believe that the stick master who used to walk horizontally would become like this.
It was also simple to ask about the case, because Zhang Erguo couldn't speak, so it became a unilateral accusation meeting. Zhang Erguo was indeed scared of being beaten, so he didn't say a word, and he didn't even open his mouth. It was one of the few little leaders, who was quite arrogant, and although he was also speechless, he yelled with his mouth open, and struggled hard, and he was naturally greeted with a stick.
The case ended with the death sentence of the big and small leader of the Xihuai Qingpi, and the rest of the gang was sentenced to one year of hard labor in the trading house. In fact, the whole case rarely involves the affairs of the trading house, so that some people wonder why they went to the Huitong trading house to do hard labor.
Regarding the downfall of Zhang Erguo, the people naturally applauded and heated up. Many people asked, why did the stick master who used to be powerful and good suddenly end up? The common people do not believe that the government will do justice for no reason. At this time, someone who knows the "insider" well will tell you that this time Zhang Erzhu kicked the iron plate. Who did he mess with, and he went to provoke the big uncle Huang Yue's business? And is it also a commercial and trading house inscribed by the emperor himself "Ejian"?
To the common people, this kind of "insider" information will always be more credible than official articles. The consequence of such rumors is that the vast majority of the people believe that it was Huang Yue who wanted to kill Zhang Erba.
Huang Yue originally had a bad reputation, and was called the "three-eyed glutton", and the death of Zhang Erzhu made many people say the same sentence behind their backs: "Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair." "In any case, the people are happy to see a dog die.
Another consequence of the case is that many people in Jiangning know about Huitong Business and Trade (Dream into Jin Yong's martial arts biography read the full text). If it turns out that Huitong Trading House was only loud among the merchants, then after this time, there are many times more people who know about the trading bank, but it is free for the trading bank.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. The high-level officials of the entire Great Qi will naturally not be like ordinary people who simply watch the excitement. They also discussed this matter, but it was generally believed that the little emperor was about to establish his authority. Over the years, officials have become accustomed to the prince, the prime minister, and the queen mother, so much so that many people unconsciously forget the existence of the little emperor. After this incident, the officials suddenly discovered that the little emperor was growing up and was trying to influence and control the country.
Since ancient times, the power of kings has been supreme. The emperor's words can give life to death. Officials are all speculating on the direction of the political situation and thinking about their own positions. Of course, thinking is thinking, and the officials will not make it clear what they say. First, the little emperor is in the deep palace, except for a few top people, other officials can't be contacted at all. The second is that the little emperor is still not in power, and the prince, the prime minister and the queen mother still have the final say on major national affairs.
There are also high-level officials who focus on Huang Yuandu, they know some real insiders, and they know that it was Dark Eagle and Huang Song who stabbed Lou Zi. Jiangning Mansion is trying to eliminate harm for the people with great fanfare this time, and it should have been ordered by Huang Yuandu to give the little emperor enough face.
Although the complaint of the Jiangning Mansion did not mention Dark Eagle at all, it was impossible to mention Dark Eagle, but high-level officials knew that Dark Eagle was lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, and Huang Song was also tricked by Ji Yong's old fox.
Ji Yong was also a little aggrieved in this matter, although he was dead in the business and wanted to find some trouble, but he didn't expect Huang Song to be too anxious, and took the initiative to increase the weight, wanting to play ruthlessly. The result was good, not only did it not work, but it was also beaten with a stick.
Of course, no one could have imagined that Song Zheng's follow-up learned the overall plan and inside story of Zhang Erstick and others' troubles, and calmly made arrangements. Except for the people around Song Zheng, others naturally couldn't figure out how the business bank dealt with it so properly, leaving no flaws at all.
However, this matter is not important now, and the attention of all officials is focused on the little emperor, including Ji Yong. Attention is concern, and he doesn't think it's a big deal. It was Huang Song who topped the thunder, but it was not for him. This time, it's just a small test (the latest chapter of the Super Family). Since it doesn't work to use unconventional small means, it's okay, so let's do it openly. After waiting for this period of limelight, we will unite several major families to work together to continuously reduce the supply of commercial and trading houses, and finally drag down the commercial and trading banks.
Although Song Zheng had never chatted with Ji Yong or spoke, he understood the thoughts of these big families. The big family in Jiangnan doesn't necessarily really take the little emperor seriously. Taizu, Taizong, Gaozong, which one hasn't used his brains against the Jiangnan family? Haven't all worked out yet? Up to now, the big family has grown stronger and stronger, and even salt and iron ore, which were traditionally run by the government, are now under the control of the big family.
From officialdom to the people, because of Zhang Erstick's matter, it was spread and talked about in the streets, but Song Zheng didn't have the time to pay attention to these. After arranging all the people, Song Zheng began to read quietly. Of course, Song Zheng still has one last preparation work that has not been completed.
On the evening of September 25, two Imperial City secretaries transported two bags to the Chengxi Manor. Song Zheng knew one of the secret soldiers, who was the former Mizhou Imperial City Division. Although it was an old acquaintance, this was obviously not the time to renew the old days, so Song Zheng just nodded lightly to the two.
Two days ago, Song Zheng had already let people support two cauldrons, and the dozens of catties of alum had also been transported to the manor. Not only that, Song Zheng also asked Cai Yong to turn into a small merchant and bought eight bags of high-quality salt from the Ji family's salt shop in the city. Although eight bags of salt are a lot, for the Ji family, it is just a small business.
"Childe, what are you going to do?" Ming'er looked curiously at these things that Song Zheng had prepared.
Song Zheng pointed to the bag sent by the secret servant and said with a smile, "Do you know what is in there?" ”
Ming'er shook her head.
"It's arsenic."
"Huh?" Ming'er's eyes widened. She looked at the eight bags of salt, and the half bag of alum, as if she realized something.
"From tomorrow onwards, you and Ser will have to work hard. Put these alum in a pot and bring to a boil with water. When the water in the pot is cool, put the arsenic in. Arsenic is best dissolved, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't completely dissolve into it, just stir it in the pot well (the latest chapter in the post-infinite era). ”
"Arsenic and alum, what's this way of?"
Song Zheng smiled, "It's not a way. What's in the pot, just let it dry in the open space. After ten days, the water in the pot evaporated and dried. What grows out of it is almost the same as table salt when crushed. When the time comes, I will mix these more than 200 catties of things with the eight bags of salt. Hehe, this is a veritable poisonous salt. ”
Ming'er gasped, "You mean to use these poisonous salts to frame the Ji family?" ”
Song Zheng snorted coldly, "Since the Ji family has used hooligan and scoundrel methods against the trading house, we can't be polite. This time, I will play a big game and let the Ji family be completely finished. ”
"But what if you eat someone to death?" Although Ming'er has experienced a lot of bloody scenes, innocent people eat salt and are killed, but she still can't bear it in her heart.
"That's why I mix eight bags of salt with arsenic. One person with salt, simply does not put so much. What's more, salt is more expensive, and people will save on it. Therefore, this poisonous salt can't kill people, but it will make people uncomfortable. To be honest, I'm afraid that it's not toxic enough, and I'll be fine after eating it. Don't forget, arsenic is also a medicinal herb, and if you control the amount, you can also cure diseases. ”
Ming'er also laughed, she had good medical skills, so she naturally knew that what Song Zheng said made sense.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about not being toxic enough. It doesn't have to be just arsenic. Ming'er looked excited, "You can also add some other medicine." As long as it is white, soaked in alum water and then dried, it is no different from table salt. ”
Song Zheng patted his head, yes, he wanted to use arsenic with all his heart, but he didn't expect this. He knew that sweat pills and some laxatives were white. As long as these things are mixed in, coupled with the toxicity of arsenic, it is enough to make people vomit and diarrhea. It's just that these medicines are much more expensive than arsenic, but in order to enhance the effect, Song Zheng still has to grit his teeth and pay for this money.
Immediately, Song Zheng asked Ming'er to collect relevant medicinal materials and prepare Menghan medicine.
At night, Song Zheng received a bag of Ji family salt from Mu Yu in Fengzhuyuan (read the full text of the Hell Special Division). After sending Mu Yu away, Song Zheng carefully observed the Ji family's salt bag.
This kind of salt bag is really distinctive. The whole bag was about four and a half feet long, and the mouth of the bag was rounded, and the diameter was two feet eight inches, similar in size to a sack.
The outer layer is brown, but the thread is finer and stronger than a sack. The inside layer is milky white, extremely fine, and it feels smooth to the touch, but it is not silk, and I don't know what material it is made of. However, the design is very ingenious: the inner layer is smooth, so that when the salt is poured out, it will not remain inside. And white, which can make the table salt appear whiter after being loaded.
On the mouth of the sack, with two ear-shaped things, the same goes for the bottom of the sack, which is naturally for easy filling and handling. The most obvious sign on the bag is the word "army" embroidered on the outhouse, which is bright red and very eye-catching. The word "army" is covered with a circle, which is also embroidered with some unknown red thread. The whole word, like a red stamp on the bag.
With Song Zheng's understanding of the craftsmanship of this era, it is not easy to do this. This special "anti-counterfeiting" mark of the Ji family is difficult to imitate.
Of course, whether such a bag can be imitated, Song Zheng doesn't care. What he feared most was that the bag was numbered in the dark. In that case, each batch of salt bags delivered to the city guards, capital guards, and forbidden armies may be fixed. If Song Zheng wants to steal the beam and change the pillar, he will be found to have lost the bag, which will lead to the failure of the plan. Even if they didn't find out at the time, if something happened, the Ji family would look for the situation that the bag number was out of order, so that there was an excuse to untie the bag. As long as the number is verified, it will be clear that the salt bag that was dropped is from the Du Wei Army, and at that time, Mu Yu will be in danger.
Song Zheng looked at the bag carefully inside and out, and even carefully picked a small corner to see if there were any marks between the inner and outer layers. To Song Zheng's relief, except for the two-inch size "Ji" at the bottom of the inner layer, no special signs were found.
Song Zheng found several bags like this, these bags were exactly the same, and they were not numbered. Song Zheng clapped his hands, and his heart was settled. ~
