Hearing Jiang Liwei say that it was a routine, Zhou Fatzi breathed a long sigh of relief.

He expected that Jiang Liwei would not be "official", in the end, he had given a lot of silver to the other party for more than a year, and if he didn't look at the monk's face, he had to look at the silver face, and if the matter really had to be investigated, Jiang Liwei wouldn't be able to run!

But Zhou Fatzi obviously ignored a problem, now the person involved in the case is actually a law enforcer, Jiang Liwei wants to investigate him easily, but he wants to report Jiang Liwei but there is no way to get in.

Shen Xi sneered coldly: "It seems that the Beizhen Fusi Yamen has nothing to do recently, and even the case of Shangjia transporting goods has to take the initiative to take care of it!" ”

Jiang Liwei said with a smile: "There is no way, the imperial court is pressing, so I have to reluctantly take the errand, and the outer Yi will attack the surroundings of the Beijing Division, so I have to be careful in everything." Shen Yude, please......"

Zhou Fatzi felt a pang in his heart, why does this matter still have something to do with Shen Xi?

Seeing Jiang Liwei's determined look, Zhou Fatzi vaguely understood something...... This matter should have little to do with the case itself, but Jiang Liwei wants to target Shen Xi, and Jiang Liwei, as the governor of the Beizhen Fu Division, has the power to report, impeach, and investigate illegal officials.

Shen Xi asked strangely, "Please what?" ”

Jiang Liwei smiled and said, "Shen Yude, don't be careful, just ask you to go to the wharf in Chongwenmen, don't say that this official has something out of nothing." ”

Shen Xi calmly got up: "Okay, then go and take a look." ”

Coming out of the tea house, the official sedan chair outside had been prepared, and Jiang Liwei also specially prepared one for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi entered the sedan chair and arrived at the Baozi River on the east side of Chongwen Gate with Jiang Li's only line, only to see hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on both sides of the river, which shows that this case is not handled by a yamen of the Beizhen Fu Division, and Jiang Liwei is the person who dispatches in the middle, which is equivalent to the commander.

There are thirty or forty boats moored on the river, each boat has a deep waterline, which shows that there are a lot of goods in it, and the wharf warehouses on the bank of the river have been seized, and it can be seen from the open door that the inside is empty, that is to say, all the goods have been loaded onto the ship, and Zhou Fatzi's subordinates were escorted to the shore, and they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Master Jiang, look at ......"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Fatzi hurriedly stepped forward to intercede with Jiang Liwei, but before he could continue, Jiang Liwei waved his hand, and immediately rushed out of the two brocade guards, twisted Zhou Fatzi's hands behind his back, and then kicked his legs, and Zhou Fatzi was forced to kneel down with a bend of his knees.

Zhou Fatzi was nervous, raised his head and looked at Jiang Liwei: "Lord Jiang, you are ......"

Jiang Liwei held his head high: "It's all about business, why is Zhou Dangjia so forgetful?" But as long as you make sure that there is no private cargo on board, you will be safe...... Come on, get on board and inspect the goods! ”

Jiang Li's only order, the officers and soldiers immediately rushed onto the cargo ship through the erected planks and began to count the rice and grain carried on the ship. Zhou Fatzi was so frightened that his body trembled like chaff at this time, such a big battle is not something that can be explained by a sentence of "business", once it is verified that he was carrying private goods on the ship, it is not too much to behead him on the spot.

Just as the officers and soldiers boarded the ship to inspect the goods, Shen Xi stood by the river and watched silently, his expression calm. Jiang Liwei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw it, walked to Shen Xi's side, and asked arrogantly: "Shen Yude, if there is an entrainment found on the ship, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how should it be handled?" ”

Shen Xi glanced at Jiang Li's only glance and said, "I am serving in the Zhan Mansion, and I am not as familiar with the law as Jiang Zhenfu. ”

Jiang Liwei laughed when he heard it, he was from Dali Temple in Nanjing, and he first had to know the law, and Shen Xi taught the prince to read in Zhan Shifu, so he naturally didn't have to memorize the Da Ming law, and it seemed natural that he was not familiar with it. But he immediately realized that something was wrong, since Shen Xi had even passed the township test and the meeting test, that is, he did not lose points in the edict and judgment, how could he not understand the law?

This is a sincere sloppy eye!

Jiang Liwei didn't ask any more questions, and his eyes fell on the officers and soldiers on the ship who were carrying the goods ashore, and he couldn't help frowning...... If people go to find illicit goods, they only need to find out what they are carrying, why do they carry grain to the shore?

Jiang Liwei immediately thought that the private goods transported by Zhou Fatzi were probably the grain itself, which was also good for people to hide.

However, in this case, it will be much more troublesome to count and calculate clearly.

At this time, there was a fast horse coming in the direction of Chongwenmen on the bank of the Baozi River, Yu Niang rode on a horse, and people were stopped by officers and soldiers near the dock, Yu Niang took out the customs clearance documents, walked quickly to Shen Xi and Jiang Liwei, and saluted: "Lord Jiang, Liu Shangshu invites you to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households." ”

Jiang Liwei glared at Yu Niang, and that gaze seemed to say, you dare to fake Liu Shangshu's order!?

"Really?"

Yu Niang replied very directly: "Naturally, it's true." Liu Shangshu ordered that all the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the Jinyi Guards should be withdrawn, and the grain should be shipped immediately without delay. ”

Jiang Liwei snorted coldly: "This is impossible!" This official has been investigating this case for a long time, and this is still what Liu Shangshu himself said, to investigate and deal with the private use of public weapons in the city, how can Liu Shangshu go back on his word now? ”

"But this is Liu Shangshu's order." Yu Niang answered bluntly.

Jiang Liwei said: "What if it's Liu Shangshu's order? Now this official is in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and he is not under the control of the household department, even if he wants to give orders to me, there are only a few people such as Zhao Commander and Mu Yanshi. ”

Yu Niang's brows furrowed.

This Jiang Liwei is simply a demonic obstacle, I forgot who pushed him to the current son, and now he dares to disobey Liu Daxia's order so blatantly.

What else did Yu Niang have to say, but Jiang Liwei raised her hand to stop her: "Today's case is today, if there is no evidence, you can start overnight, and there will be no delay!" ”

Perhaps because he felt that what he said just now was too full, Jiang Liwei finally said something relatively relaxed, "After the case is investigated, this official will personally go to the household yamen and ask Liu Shangshu for guilt!" ”

Zhou Fatzi couldn't wait to jump into the bubble river at this time.

How much enmity do I have with Lord Jiang!? It's useless to even give Liu Laoshangshu an order to stop in person, isn't the filial piety sent on weekdays not enough?

Dead and dead, carrying private goods during the war is a capital crime, is it really going to be whining and mourning this time, and there is no chance to give gifts in the future?

Yu Niang has no good strategy, she is nothing in front of Jiang Liwei, even if she lifts out Liu Daxia, in front of a Jinyi Wei official who has been carried away, it has no effect.

Shen Xi sighed secretly: "Jiang Liwei, Jiang Liwei, are you angry with me, or with your own future?" What if you find out that Zhou Fatzi is smuggling? What good is it for you to let Fat Zhou rely on me? ”

When night fell, the soldiers on the ship came down one after another and lifted large stones from the cabin, which made Jiang Liwei very surprised when he saw it.

The stones had just been piled on one side, and the sacks of grain were counted at the other end, but it was clear that the ship's draft was so deep because of the stones under the cabin!

Jiang Liwei glared at Zhou Fatzi angrily and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Fat Zhou looked at the riverbank, and he was full of puzzlement: "No...... Somehow. ”

Shen Xi's voice was calm: "This is clearly a ballast stone...... When empty, the overall center of gravity of the ship is above the water surface, which is very easy to capsize, so the ballast stone will be prepared when sailing empty-ton to avoid capsizing. Since Jiang Zhenfu knows the law of Da Ming, he doesn't even have this bit of common sense, right? ”

Jiang Liwei glared at Shen Xi, I naturally know the ballast stone, but now that the ship is clearly fully loaded, is it necessary to load the ballast stone again? He vaguely felt that all this was done by Shen Xi, but he didn't understand that martial law was imposed in the city these days, and he sent people to keep an eye on Shen Zhai and Yu Niang, how did Shen Xi play such a trick? Unless Shen Xi told Zhou Fatzi in advance and asked Zhou Fatzi to deliberately cooperate in acting in a play.

Soon, the results of the liquidation on the river bank came out, because the sacks of grain transported by the imperial court were forty catties, as long as the inventory was completed, the final amount of grain could be calculated, and after conversion, the amount of grain was neither more nor less, and Zhou Fatzi did not have the problem of smuggling, nor did he have the problem of deducting grain.

Jiang Liwei pounced.

Yu Niang's heart was also full of surprise, she thought about it and stepped forward, urging: "Master Jiang, can you go to see Liu Shangshu now?" ”

Jiang Li's only face was gloomy, and he had been planning hard for a long time, and even planted a fine work next to Zhou Fatzi, bought eyeliner, and investigated Zhou Fatzi's every move on weekdays clearly, plus Shen Xi also had someone to watch, thinking that he was ready to catch it, but when it came to the end, he was actually coaxed by Shen Xi and Zhou Fatzi with a blindfold, he was unwilling to think about it.

Jiang Liwei looked at Shen Xi with resentful eyes, and after staring at him for a long time, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and ordered the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to withdraw.

At this moment, Jiang Liwei only thought about how to explain to Liu Daxia, and didn't care about returning the grain to its place at all.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Li's only order, with the Jinyi guard's men and horses, left with Yu Niang.

Shen Xi still stayed on the riverbank, and after the people walked away, Zhou Fatzi's talent over there reacted, hurriedly lit the torches, and came out to load the grain again.

Fat Zhou sat down on the ground, and only after a while did he react slightly, looked up at Shen Xi, and asked, "Lord Shen, is this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Shen Xi sighed: "Didn't Dangjia Zhou even see this? You were treated as an outcast by Jiang Zhenfu as a stepping stone for him to be promoted and make a fortune. You still think that the smuggled goods can be sheltered, but you don't know that he has been staring at you for a long time, just waiting for you and me to meet, take the opportunity to take you, and come over to investigate the case, in addition to being able to borrow your head to make a contribution, but also make me unable to explain to the court, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Zhou Fatzi slapped the ground: "I usually respect him a lot, why does he harm me so much?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself: "You took the little money you gave to Jiang Liwei too seriously. The things you send are just small profits, how can they be compared with Jiang Liwei's career? Now I am jealous of him, he treats me as a thorn in the flesh, as long as he can pull me out, he can do whatever it takes, let alone a ninth-rate businessman like you. ”

The people on the wharf are still loading the ship, and they are being disturbed by Jiang Liwei, and the grain must be shipped in the first half of the night, otherwise it will be difficult to transport the grain to the destination within the specified time limit.

Fat Zhou calmed down on the ground for a long time before he stood up, but his hands and feet were still weak and his limbs were weak, and he didn't slow down.

The people from the dock came to ask for instructions, and there was another person who came at the same time, this person didn't look very conspicuous, but Zhou Fatzi recognized it at a glance, this was not Song Xiaocheng, the big boss of the Carriage and Horse Gang who Shen Xi sent to him to be responsible for contacting?

"My lord, according to your instructions, use stones to lay the foundation, and all the extra grain will be transported to the cellar......" Song Xiaocheng's face was full of excitement, this time he came to the capital, brought his family, and had Su Lian and his son always by his side, in the future, he would just follow Shen Xi in the capital, which was much more promising than a small fight in Tingzhou Mansion.

Zhou Fatzi didn't react for a while, these days the gate of the Jingshi City is closed, when did Song Xiaocheng enter the city, and when did he get mixed under his hands?

Shen Xi said: "Master Zhou, by the way, let me tell you, in the past, you were named under the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, responsible for transporting food for the imperial court, and now the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has officially entered the capital, if you choose to cooperate, you can still do things in my Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, if you don't want to cooperate, then the well water will not violate the river water!" ”

Zhou Fatzi was just worried about offending Jiang Liwei, and now Shen Xi came over to have a showdown with him.

"Well water does not interfere with river water", which will mean that he can no longer bear the name of "Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce" in the future, and he will no longer be responsible for transporting grain.
