Zhang Jiucheng was recruited by the proclamation, but Zhang Bin felt that he was lying.

Because, what he said was too simple.

He said that when he first took office, he also thought about letting the bandits be eliminated below, but as soon as he gave the order, in the afternoon of the same day, there was an inexplicable extra box in the sedan chair he was sitting in, and there were 1,000 taels of silver in the box, as well as a letter.

The letter said that if he was honest and not nosy, there would be an extra thousand taels of silver in the sedan chair every month, and if he insisted on being nosy, he would have one less family member every month!

Is this a possibility?

For the first time, it is possible, because he has just taken office, he is not familiar with the place, and he is not guarded, and it is completely possible that someone else secretly stuffed a box into his sedan chair.

However, in the back, it's a bit ridiculous, a criminal envoy can't even look at his own sedan chair, who believes it?

Zhang Bin wanted to ask again, but Zhang Jiucheng began to pretend to be pitiful.

That guy, pretending to be a real one, tears flowed out, in short, he just meant one thing, people threatened his family, he couldn't help it, and he didn't know anything else, and it would be boring to ask again.

I admit what he means, I admit that I am corrupt, what do you want?

Zhang Bin was really a little crying and laughing in the face of such a scoundrel, so he could only stop the interrogation first and let people lock this guy up first.

However, when he returned to the study, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This guy admits that he is corrupt, and he is still a scoundrel there, unwilling to confess the details, for what?

Obviously, he didn't want to involve the others.

Looking at him like that, he doesn't look like a person who sticks a knife in the ribs for his friends, so why would he rather admit corruption himself than implicate others?

After a little thought, he could understand that he wanted someone else to save him.

There are many ways to save people, one is to rob prison and get others out.

The other is to kill the people who deal with him, so that he has nothing to do.

Zhang Bin also considered these problems when he rescued Yuan Chonghuan, saving people in the officialdom, it doesn't make much sense just to rescue people, the best thing is to kill the people who deal with him, so that he has nothing to do!

Do these people have the guts to kill themselves?

When it's okay, they definitely don't dare, but once their own future and fate are involved, what can't they do!

It is possible that these people will come to rob the prison and save Zhang Jiucheng, and it is even more likely that they will kill themselves, and they will be a hundred!

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin immediately called Xie Zhenggang, Zhang Cha, Zhao Ru and other cronies in and explained carefully.

He faintly mentioned Dragon's Nest Island, water bandits or something.

What's going on with Dragon's Nest?

Longxue Island, located at the mouth of the Pearl River, is barren, there was originally a small fishing village on the island, and the fishermen also planted some vegetables when they had time, and the island still had some life.

However, since the arrival of the bandits, the people in the village quickly fled, and at this time, there was nothing on the island of Dragon's Lair except for a lair of water bandits and a small hidden dock, and as far as the eye could see, it was deserted.

The nearby fishermen all know that there are bandits on this island, and they don't dare to fight on the island at all, and the merchant ships that come and go also know that there is a problem on this island after a few accidents nearby, so they don't dare to approach at all, so although this Dragon's Nest Island is big, it is like a ghost island, and it is inaccessible.

In the evening of this day, the sky was dark, the river surface was already hazy, and nothing could be seen, but a dense shadow of ships suddenly appeared near the hidden small pier of Longxue Island, and there were at least hundreds of them.

At this time, it was useless for him to shout, one by one the wheels docked onto the dock, and a team of Qi soldiers rushed towards the bandits' lair.

1 team, 2 teams, 3 teams; One hundred, two hundred, three hundred; One thousand, two thousand, three thousand!

Looking at the more and more soldiers of the Qi family army outside, the leader of the bandits wanted to cry without tears, what are you doing, what are you doing, I have only a few dozen people in total, okay, you are thousands here, are you so bullying?

Without using their hands, dozens of water bandits were so frightened that they threw away their weapons, lay on the ground, shivering, and the small valley in the middle of Longxue Island was soon filled with the military camps of the Qi family's army.

The next day, a group of merchant ships appeared near Longxue Island, ranging from five or six to ten, all of which were bearing the flag of Dongshengtang.

Hearing that the Governor was going to open a mutual market near Macao, Dongshengtang, a number of merchants in the southeast and even in the entire Ming Dynasty, was the first to respond, hundreds of merchant ships gathered, and countless goods poured into Guangzhou, and the warehouses outside the city could not be placed, so Dongshengtang began to buy mansions in the city.

One, two, three, no one counts how much they have bought, anyway, people have money, who cares.

Dongshengtang's goods outside the city also began to be transferred to the city, each time it was dozens of cars and hundreds of people, moved again and again, no one noticed, every time the goods were unloaded into the big mansion in the city, the delivery car was empty, the delivery person was also empty, every time hundreds of people went in, and in the end only dozens of people pushed the empty car out.

People may order and code goods inside, but who cares.

This little thing in Dongshengtang didn't attract people's attention, but the big thing in the Dusi Yamen was stared at by many people.

The Governor was really ruthless, first he arrested Zhang Jiuxian, the procurator of the punishment, and then the high-ranking officials in the yamen of the procuratorial envoy were arrested one by one, according to the deputy envoy, according to the procurator, experience, and governor, regardless of the four or five grades, seven or eight grades, as long as it was an official, they were basically arrested, until there were a few nine grades of miscellaneous people left, and more than 200 people who surrounded the yamen of the procuratorial envoy department withdrew to the yamen.

Zhang Bin didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he arrested these people every day and tried them over and over again, without announcing the verdict or doing anything, just arresting people for trial.

These people are also hard-mouthed, anyway, if you don't threaten them with torture, they won't recruit them, even if they are forced to recruit, they will only recruit themselves.

They recruit corruption, all kinds of bizarre ways to get money, anyway, they "don't know" who sent the money.

These people seem to be waiting for someone to rescue them, Zhang Bin sneered in his heart, he is also waiting for someone to rescue them, he wants to see how bold these people are!

For the first three days, there had been no movement inside and outside the Dusi Yamen, but on the evening of the fourth day, the moonlight was dim and the visibility was extremely low, and there was finally movement outside the Dusi Yamen.

On the left side of the Dusi Yamen, hundreds of black-clothed people suddenly appeared outside the wall near the cell, they carried more than a dozen ladders, and quietly came to the bottom of the wall, and several people set up a human wall to put a black-clothed man on the wall about two people high, and the black-clothed man carefully swept inside, and then jumped back, waving, everyone, up!

Ladders were gently erected on the wall, and hundreds of people quickly climbed over the wall and jumped into the compound of the second entrance of the Dusi Yamen.

As soon as they gathered together, they were about to rush to the dimly lit cell not far away, when countless torches suddenly lit up around them, and three rows of shield walls dozens of steps away surrounded them. ”

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of throwing guns rained down, and after a miserable scream, the man in black hurriedly retreated to the wall, but the throwing gun kept throwing over, puffy after puffy, and in the end, none of the hundreds of people in black escaped, and some were even nailed directly to the wall!

At this time, the shield wall on the left opened, and Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and shouted coldly: "Qian Liang, take people up, pick out the living ones, and tie them up." ”

When Qian Liang heard this, he stepped forward with his ten squads, carefully inspected all the people in black, and directly pulled out the throwing guns on their bodies if they died, tied up the non-dead ones, pulled out the wounds that the throwing guns were simply treated, and dragged them aside.

Cao Wenzhao saw that they had almost dealt with it, and said coldly: "Chen Hao, take your people and bury the dead ones in the woods next to the river bank outside Quanla, and the others will be disbanded." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Bin had something to do again, and there were about a dozen people who were caught, and he was dragged to the lobby and interrogated one by one.

There is nothing polite to talk about these people, if they don't recruit them, they will be tortured, and they dare to break into the capital division yamen at night, or the capital division yamen where the governor stays, and they deserve to be killed.

These people finally couldn't endure the punishment, and they all recruited, they turned out to be all water bandits on the Shunde side!

Okay, I made it clear that I colluded with bandits to come to the Yamen of the capital to save people.

These people don't know who went to Shunde to make contact, they were all sent by their own leaders, and after arriving here, naturally there were black-clothed masked people who arranged a place for them to live, and distributed night clothes and ladders.

Although Zhang Bin knew that it was of little use, he still sent a few teams of guards to search the place where they confessed, but as a result, naturally people went to the empty building, and they couldn't even find out who the courtyard was.

In fact, he already knew who was making the move, but he didn't bother to collect evidence slowly, he just pretended to be tireless, and tried the officials of the Yamen Department of the Prosecutor's Office over and over again, as if he wanted to find a breakthrough in these people.

He didn't believe that those people could sit still, and he was just going to force the dogs to jump over the wall and hit him directly on the muzzle of his gun!

That night, somewhere in the city, the gate, the back door, and the backyard gate were full of guards standing guard, heavily guarded.

In the master bedroom of the backyard, Zuo Bu's political envoy Wen Gaomo was holding two plump young women in their thirties who looked similar to each other were gasping there, and one of the older young women lay on his ear and said softly: "My lord, what should I do, Lord Zhang, they have all been arrested, the water ghosts over there in Shunde have also been planted, and many sisters in our gang have also been arrested, this governor seems to have made up his mind to clean us up!" ”

Wen Gaomo let out a long breath and said gloomily: "Don't be afraid, Wagangzhai has already sent a large number of masters over, this time, go directly into the backyard, make him, and then set a fire and burn the backyard." ”

When the young woman heard this, she reminded: "My lord, if you do this, you are not afraid of the wrath of the court and send someone to investigate?" ”

Wen Gaomo pretended to be innocent and said: "Your Excellency the Governor has worked tirelessly, and he is still lighting the lamp at night to deal with official business, but I don't know what happened, and the oil lamp was knocked over, causing a fire, and we are also very sad!" ”

Another young woman giggled and said, "My lord, you still said this excuse in the past, but what about his subordinates, so many people, how do you stop their mouths?" ”

Wen Gaomo said coldly: "It's a pity that his subordinates, including Meng Zou Wei and others, all died in the fire." ”

The older young woman was a little surprised and said, "There are thousands of them, how can they all die in the fire?" ”

Wen Gaomo said proudly: "He is not moving my interests, nor is it only your interests, if he continues to investigate, there are many, many people will be involved, this kind of thing, if it is found out, the removal investigation is considered light, many people will lose their heads, you can rest assured, someone is more anxious than us." ”

The older young woman coquettishly said, "My lord, don't play dumb riddles, who is more anxious than us?" ”

Wen Gaomo said teasingly: "You think, I'm also a low-level official, at most, I'll make some money and help them cover up, as soon as the term of office expires, I'll leave, I didn't do bad things, I'm purer than you!" ”

The older young woman nodded at his forehead and smiled, "You are still pure, how many times have you slept with our sisters?" ”

Wen Gaomo pretended to regret and said: "Alas, I just can't control myself, so I was fascinated by you two beauties, sin, sin." ”

The young woman smiled and said: "My lord, you are so sour, what are you fascinated by us, you took the initiative to find me, but as a result, I tried a few times, but it was not enjoyable, even my sister asked for it, we didn't confuse you." ”

Wen Gaomo said shamelessly: "The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, you are such a beautiful woman coming to me, can I not chase after me?" ”

The older young woman hugged his arm and shook it: "My lord, don't go farther and farther, who has the ability to make more than a thousand people die in the fire?" ”

Wen Gaomo said embarrassedly: "Why do you say some things so clearly, anyway, I don't want you to make a move, what's the difference between knowing and not knowing?" ”

The older young woman hugged his arm and shook it vigorously, "I'm just curious to know, my lord, just tell me." ”

Wen Gaomo was a little embarrassed: "I promised to keep it secret." ”

The older young woman directly spread her arms, straightened her chest and said, "What secrets do we have, adults tell me quickly, you also know, it is impossible for us to tell it." ”

Wen Gaomo said helplessly: "You, don't you all point it out, Master Zhang and I are both rogue officials, and they will leave after a few years, won't those people leave without thinking of it?" ”

The older young woman didn't follow: "There are many people who can't leave, don't you also our sisters and haven't left for a few years, say it quickly." ”

Wen Gaomo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You, if you insist on me saying it, think about it, who is in charge of the Guangzhou city guards." ”

When the older young woman heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, I see, you mean ......." ”

Wen Gaomo immediately interrupted: "Don't talk about this, the Spring Festival is short, why are you talking about these boring things, come, don't waste time, let's do something serious." ”

When the two young women heard this, they giggled at the same time, and a rapid gasp suddenly sounded in the room.

What he meant, he was already ready to jump over the wall in a hurry, would Zhang Bin really die in the fire as he said?
