Chapter 254: Bulk Stolen Goods
Yesterday's incident was the handling of the caravan's return caravan, and there was an echo so soon, but Zhu Da really couldn't think of anything to do with the head of the Jinguan Nian team, and he also wondered how the three officials were so excited.
After entering the house, Chang Kai stopped Zhu Da and didn't let him call Li Jian over, saying that it would be after the four of us finished discussing.
"I heard that Zhu Ye is handling goods for the caravan again, our Huairen County is now very dilapidated, and Zhu Ye is worried that he can't find anything, right?" Jin Guannian asked with a grin.
Zhu Da nodded, he knew that the other party's words were just an introduction, not asking anything, Zhu Da knew a lot about the hands and feet that Jin Guannian did in the city, but it was not to the point of tearing his face and lifting the table, so it was up to him, and now the other party was so posted to worry about business matters, it was really strange.
"Is there anything that can be done in the year of the golden pipe?" Zhu Da asked with a smile, although Zhu Da didn't trust the other party, he didn't refuse the other party to do things.
Jin Guannian has been staring at Zhu Da, and after hearing this question, he exchanged glances with Lin Bantou, Zhu Da saw these small actions, and his curiosity was hooked, what made them so careful, and these things were also related to business.
"Don't hide it from Zhu Ye, there are no local specialties worth selling in our county, but there are some commercial goods that can be sold, but these commercial goods are ......, and there must be a reliable charter to sell them." Jin Guannian paused to speak, and then finished speaking.
"There are just four of us here, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, if it's inconvenient to say it, then you don't have to say it." Zhu Da said bluntly, he felt that the other party was selling Guanzi unnecessary.
Seeing Zhu Da's face sink, Jin Guannian hurriedly explained with a dry smile: "It's not that I can't believe it, it's just that it's really inconvenient to say it......"
"Jin Er, you are a troublemaker, they are all from your own family, and you are still talking and spitting, Zhu Ye, our yamen has stored a lot of goods that cannot see the light in the past two or three years, and they can't take them out, and they can't exchange them for money, so they are in the county inventory, Zhu Ye, you also know that there is no caravan to come to our county, and it is inconvenient to go to Zheng's family to gather in Wangjiatun, not to mention now, it used to be sold piecemeal, this time it is rare to have a rest assured, and it is not our Datong local, so yesterday I often brought the news back, and everyone summed it up, I think it's a way out, so I'm pushing the two of us to find Zhu Ye today. Lin Gang, the head of the Lin team, came over and said very clearly.
As soon as Lin finished speaking, Zhu Da understood after a little pondering, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "Stolen goods are not stolen goods, but stolen goods are stolen goods, why bother to say so twisted and turned." ”
was broken by Zhu Da, Jin Guannian's face was a little embarrassed, Lin Gang was only there hehehe, Chang Kai looked indifferent, but Zhu Da also knew that Jin Guannian's embarrassment was probably also an expression squeezed out.
There are a large number of shady stolen goods accumulated in the official yamen, and there are a large number of illegal things stored in legal places, which are very contradictory and strange to say, but in fact they are ordinary.
When he followed Master Yuan Biao Yuan to learn martial arts, Zhu Da heard the deeds of people in the yamen from many aspects, such as taking the sheep when the fast class handled the case, and did not report it when the criminal's property was confiscated, as for the Zhuang class to do more excessively, in a sense, the Zhuang class is the strongest force in the county, but there is a special case of the Zheng family in Huairen County, so it is not obvious that the strong class comes, as the strongest force in the county, they have the duty of guarding the city, assisting in tax collection, suppressing civil unrest, escorting important criminals, etc., but in fact, When they were guarding the city, they extorted passing merchants, wantonly withheld taxes when they assisted in tax collection, took the opportunity to loot when suppressing civil unrest, and robbed along the road when escorting important criminals. Some can know the ins and outs, and everyone can judge who is the hand of the forces, and some are clueless and don't know who and what forces do it, this is still everyone knows the movement, and how many silent cases there are, everyone doesn't know, but it has happened, Although I don't know who did the case, but the real discerning people can guess that this is the work of the officers, the reason why no one cares about it is because they don't attack the locals, but they are very good at choosing targets, and they dare not touch the caravans that are really famous and have heels.
“...... The crows in the world are as dark as ever, don't you think that only Huairen County is full of bad seeds, the prefectures and counties and health offices in the border towns are doing this kind of thing everywhere, but some do less, some do more, the yamen of Huairen County is squeezed by the Zheng family uncomfortable, and the silver of the regular officials is difficult to earn, so they can only use reckless means in the rivers and lakes...... "Zhu Da still remembers how dumbfounded he was when he heard Yuan Biao talk about this matter, how unbelievable, there is such a ridiculous thing in the world, although there is already construction in his heart, But it's still very uncomfortable to hear it.
Jin and Lin have been staring at Zhu Da's expression, seeing his undisguised reaction, they have already made a judgment in their hearts, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou exchanged glances again, Jin Guannian coughed dryly and said: "So that Master Zhu knows, the bulk of these goods has another way, our Huairen County originally had a few thieves' nests, all of them were thieves and bandits gathered, at that time there was a lot of trouble, some big households and villages suffered, and many caravans suffered big losses in the past. Everyone didn't leave any of the goods above, they all saved it so consciously, and there were a few nest owners who did things for these thieves, they thought they were hiding well, but they couldn't hide it from our husbands, and they couldn't find their handles from the officials, so the brothers copied their homes for the sake of heaven......"
Originally, Jin Guan Nian was going to make a tirade, but when he said this, he was interrupted by Zhu Da irritably, and Zhu Da said unceremoniously: "What's the use of talking about this, thieves are thieves." ”
Jin Guannian is also a character with a very black heart, and he has never had any conscience, but after all, he is a scribe, and he also pays attention to the face that he doesn't have, he was choked by Zhu Da like this, and his heart was weak, and he couldn't speak for a while, so Lin Bantou was on top and asked cautiously: "Zhu Ye, if Zhu Ye is embarrassed, we won't do it, Zhu Ye just said those words, Zhu Ye, you should have never heard it, the yamen is bitter, and it is not easy for everyone to live." ”
Zhu Da didn't speak, the room was very quiet, Chang Kai was standing aside, looking like he didn't care about himself, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou's faces were not very good-looking, there were resentment, and there were disappointments, but they quickly pressed down, in front of Zhu Da, they didn't dare to have the slightest presumptuousness, but they didn't have any hope.
"Do it, why not!" Zhu Da replied, he suddenly raised his voice, startling the other three, Jin and Lin subconsciously thought that they were rejected, and then reacted.
Thieves are not clean, thieves are bloody, doing this kind of dirty business that is not visible, Zhu Da is very resistant in his heart, but he immediately thought that he can't say that he is clean, and now he has no position to talk about conscience.
From the beginning of killing people to the present, how much blood is on his hands, how much blood is in his business goods, whether his business goods are clean, whether the property of the Fang family and the Yang family that he has occupied is taken in a proper way, and whether he is so pure and flawless, jade and ice-clear......
Zhu Da didn't think too much, he stopped his own thoughts, he had experienced so much, and seen so much life and death, Zhu Da would not have too many entanglements, nor would he have such a delicate mind, he knew what he was going to do, and everything was secondary for this goal.
Just think about it clearly, or inevitably feel agitated, so there will be a slight gaffe.
After hearing Zhu Da's answer, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou were relieved, Zhu Da had a slightly over-the-top reaction, they also felt normal, young people always have to grow up slowly, and it is inevitable that they will not adapt to dirty hands at the beginning, and they are not the same when they are young.
After making the promise, Zhu Da didn't speak immediately, and the room was quiet for a while, which made Jin and Lin a little apprehensive, and they thought that something had changed.
"How many are there? How much is the price? Juda asked.
When this question was asked, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou completely relaxed, Jin Guannian leaned forward, and said with a smile: "Three hundred and sixty pieces of koji silk from Henan, six hundred pieces of cotton cloth from the south, two hundred and forty pairs of cowhide boots, more than 700 sets of wooden bowls and basins, two thousand five hundred bags of medicinal materials, two hundred and seventy sheepskins, one hundred and sixty cowhides, three hundred fox skins, wolf skins, and lynx skins, one hundred and sixty sets of horsetails, and ...... horns."
The golden management year reported one item at a time, and the people from this house all had an account in their hearts, and they remembered each item clearly. Zhu Da listened very carefully at the beginning, and the more he heard it, the more he was shocked, a horse of curved silk three taels of silver, a cotton cloth of six hundred Wen, a pair of cowhide boots also cost four hundred Wen, this is the price of Datong, if you go out of the border plug, go to the grassland, the price will suddenly increase four times or five times, and this wooden bowl and wooden basin in the Ming Dynasty is only a few Wen or a dozen Wen at most, to the grassland, it is more than a few times more than ten times, the medicinal materials are also about the same, in Daming is not worth anything, but to the grassland is indeed to save the life of the wounded, both people and animals are in need, and the price is several times more than ten times.
As for the sheepskin cowhide and all kinds of animal skins, as well as horsetail horns, etc., it is a special product of the Mongolian grassland, which is not worth much money over there, but in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is several times or even more than ten times the increase.
