Chapter 182: The Emperor's Order

Li Zhongxing glanced at his son, and sighed helplessly, he had a few heads to give this quota to the Ma family, and it was estimated that it would be passed to the emperor, and he would soon be gone. Your Majesty, you look at military power more than anything else!

"Alright, you don't need to participate here!" Li Zhongxing waved his hand and said: "If you don't give the quota to the family, you don't know how to make a fuss, you find a place to hide, try not to show up." ”

Li Xi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, the child understands!" ”

Reaching out and picking up the list on the table, Xungui's side of the British Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion, and the Wei Mansion, in addition to these three old dukes, the rest are Zhenbei Marquis Qi Jiguang and Gongshun Marquis Mansion.

On the Jin Shang side, in addition to the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Fan family, there are nine families counting the Ma family.

With a quota in his hand, Li Zhongxing pondered for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Since the news of the textile factory spread, Datong City has gathered countless merchants, and there are all in the capital of Jiangnan. If you want to talk about who has the most sensitive sense of smell, the businessman is definitely in the forefront, and the Internal Affairs Office has naturally become a hot yamen.

It's just that compared to every day, today's Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office is particularly lively.

One by one, the carriages came in, then stopped, and then one by one the figures stepped out of the carriage. Everyone chatted and laughed, and they were invited into the Internal Affairs Office. It's just that it is obvious that there are two groups of people, one group is the nobles from the capital, and the other group is the Jin merchants from Shanxi.

Inside the Interior Office, a large conference room has been prepared for a long time, with a long table and chairs in the back.

There were nine companies participating in the meeting this time, and it was the nine on the list, and when everyone arrived and the tea was on the table, Li Zhongxing walked out of it. Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Zhongxing.

Although these people are all in charge of the family, they don't dare to make a mistake in the face of Li Zhongxing.

Li Zhongxing's eyes swept over and found that several of them were acquaintances, the Wang family of the Zhang family, none of them came to sit and watch, the Wang family came to Wang Chonggu's younger brother Wang Chongjun, Li Zhongxing was familiar with him.

Stretching out his hand and pressing it with a smile, Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "The purpose of coming to you today is to discuss the affairs of the textile factory." ”

"Now I still have a quota in my hand, and I plan to auction this spot, and the highest bidder will get it." Speaking of this, Li Zhongxing waved his hand and said, "Of course, this has little to do with today's events. ”

Everyone looked at each other, it really doesn't matter? If it wasn't big, Li Zhongxing wouldn't have said it at this time.

"I will discuss with Governor Zeng at the venue, and I will come up with a charter soon, and today I will discuss with you the issues of scale, number of people and money." Li Zhongxing took out and motioned to the person next to him for internal affairs, and the person hurriedly handed out the pamphlets to everyone.

There are many articles written on it, each of which is an agenda, and Li Zhongxing is ready to talk about them one by one.

Governor's Yamen.

Zeng Xingwu sat on the chair, glanced at Zhang Cheng, and then at Ma Lu, who was sitting below, and said: "General Ma, I came to you today, and I have two things to discuss with you!" ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!" Ma Lu nodded and said, in fact, he was also confused.

Yesterday he received a notice from the governor's yamen that he should come over early in the morning, along with his four deputy commanders. Now seeing Zhang Cheng and Zeng Xingwu's serious looks, Ma Lu also became serious.

Needless to say, Zeng Shengwu is the governor of Xuanda, who is in a high position, and Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, is also there, this is a big deal.

In fact, Zhang Cheng has not returned to Beijing for so long, this is not a normal thing, and Ma Lu has also thought about this matter, after all, Zhang Cheng is not a prison army. Now it seems that I should be able to get the answer right away.

"Let's talk about it!" Without waiting for Zeng Shengwu to speak, Zhang Cheng spoke first.

Seeing Zeng Xingwu nodding, Zhang Cheng said: "Whether it is Lord Zeng or our family, this time I came to Xuanda, in fact, I came with the emperor's order. It's just that our family came earlier than Lord Zeng, but the purpose is the same. ”

"We were ordered by the emperor to clean up military discipline, but what our family did differently from Lord Zeng."

"Our family is responsible for arresting people and catching some scum in the army!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng nodded behind him, and a little eunuch put a booklet in front of Ma Lu, and Zhang Cheng made a gesture of please, motioning for him to read it for himself.

"These are the ones that our family found after a thorough investigation after arriving in Datong, Mr. Ma will take a look!"

While listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Ma Lu's heart sank down, and it sank very much. Stretching out his hand to open the booklet, Ma Lu saw two names at a glance: Zhang Lianhuan and Qin Biao, his two deputy commanders.

Reselling ordnance, smuggling salt, robbing people's daughters, embezzling military salaries, each case is clearly written.

"Mr. Ma, if we don't talk about it, you must know it, and these things are not a secret." Zhang Cheng continued to say lightly: "It's just that we found out after checking it, it's shocking!" ”

Of course, Malu knew that these were indeed not secrets, and it was common for them to do so.

"Lord Zeng, Grandpa Zhang, this and this!" Ma Lu said with some hesitation: "If these people are punished, the city defense of Datong." Speaking of which, Ma Lu himself stopped first, apparently realizing the problem as well.

Who can still fight Datong now!

The court is scheming!

Ma Lu instantly thought of this, when did Zhang Cheng come, it was before the Battle of the Northwest, and he came with Qi Jiguang. Obviously, the imperial court was ready to do this before the Battle of the Northwest began.

Closing the booklet, Ma Lu knew that he couldn't change the final result, but he still asked tentatively, "Have you checked it out?" ”

"Our family doesn't hide from Ma Zongbing, the imperial horse supervision didn't start now, nor did it start after our family arrived in Datong, in fact, it started several years ago. At that time they were even more emboldened, and they resold their ordnance to Warat. ”

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has captured a lot of ordnance from the Warats, all of which belong to our Ming Dynasty."

Ma Gui was silent, and after a while, Ma Gui said: "Lord Zeng, Grandpa Zhang, can you let me take someone to arrest someone?" ”

Things can't be changed, so you can only minimize the losses, these are your own robes, Magui doesn't want anyone to be wronged. Doing this on your own minimizes the possibility of an unjust case.

"Of course!" Zeng Xingwu spoke first at this time: "This official guarantees his personality, after these people are caught, this official will interrogate him personally, and no one will be wronged, and General Ma can be together." ”

"Actually, there's me!" A voice sounded outside, and then a man came out from behind.
