Chapter 244: Old Acquaintance Nanjing Accident

The peddler who sold dried fruit followed the carriage to the bend in the road, and then quietly went about his business, without any abnormality.

From this point of view, this peddler and the spies sent by Jiang Feng to the four salt works were not the same as each other, he was quiet, and there was no unusual action at all. In the evening, the dried fruit vendor found that he had run out of goods.

Apparently needing to go back to his hometown to buy goods again, he settled the house payment with the boss in the big car shop where he lived, and then when the city gate was about to close, he left Dengzhou City.

Now where Jiangfeng's prestige is, the absolute night near Dengzhou is not closed, and the road is not forgotten. After the peddler walked out of the city, he walked on the road for about an hour, apparently looking for an inn to complain. He saw that there was no one in front of him, and simply burrowed into the woods on the side.

When he came out of the woods, he had already turned into a single high-roller walking the rivers and lakes, with a completely different temperament, and strode towards the inn in front of him.

In the inn ten miles outside the city, although the owner of the shop also has the task of finding out the news for the Dengzhou prefect yamen and the Dengzhou camp and monitoring the merchants, but it is just a false story, and the shopkeeper in the lobby still knows this single-gang high-roller.

Dengzhou is now quite a "adventurer's paradise" meaning, oh, maybe in the Jiajing period should be said to be a paradise for the rivers and lakes, in the city of the opportunity to make a fortune, naturally there are many people here to beg for a living, this instrument of the rivers and lakes of the horse storage in the inn.

And the money given is quite surplus, such a guest, the inn is naturally a strong knot, Fang is a hawker Jianghu guest smiled and said to the shopkeeper:

"This time I won a good fortune, go home and live happily, the shopkeeper, I'll pick up the horse!"

More than 20 days later, this high-roller appeared in Nanjing City, but at this time, the clothes on his body had already changed into the dress of the Jinyi Guard's cavalry, and he handed over the documents at the Qianhu Office of Shanqiao in the west of Nanjing City, and then changed into civilian clothes and came to the Zuo Shilang Mansion of the Nanjing Criminal Department on the edge of the Dinghuai Gate.

The Nanjing Criminal Department is in charge of the criminal cases of several provinces, Huang Xilei, the left waiter of the Nanjing Criminal Department, was promoted to the current position from Wailang, a member of the Beijing Criminal Department, two years ago, Huang Xilei has been an official of the Beijing Criminal Department since the Zhengde period, and it is rumored that he used to secretly worship Liu Jin as a righteous son, and he was attached to the eunuch party, but he was the most despised by the scholars, but this matter has always been rumored to have not been proven, and he belonged to Liu Jin before he was raided and destroyed, he was exposed in the book, and it can be regarded as a quick response. No one else can say anything.

In the case of the Great Ceremony, he decisively and firmly stood on the side of Emperor Jiajing, so the eunuch road can be regarded as slowly opening up, and the wind direction has been so accurate for so many years, and there is an advantage that is difficult for others to achieve, that is, his younger brother, Huang Xiting is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and he also followed his brother to Nanjing two years ago.

Jinyiwei is naturally more accurate to see the direction of the wind, and there is a lot of inside information and the like, speaking of which, the Huang family of the Beijing division is a generation of Jinyiwei officers, and it can be regarded as a general.

Huang Xilei is different, from the imperial examination to the official career, and he rose step by step to today's position.

The middle-aged man, who went from a peddler to a Jianghu guest, and then from a Jianghu guest to a brocade guard, was obviously not a guest above the Shilang's mansion, but just reported it to the concierge, and then was let in.

It was already afternoon, and the offices of the six yamen departments in Nanjing were much more scattered than those in Beijing, and the officials often returned to their mansions from the yamen at noon, which was quite comfortable. The brocade guard was led by the butler of the Shilang Huang Mansion and walked all the way to the study at the back.

Huang Xilei is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is already slightly fat, looks quite elegant, wears casual clothes, and is quite comfortable holding a volume of poetry there and reciting softly, and a few young maids are waiting carefully there.

The housekeeper reported, Huang Xilei was stunned, obviously not expecting the visit of outsiders. With a wave of his hand, all the people in the room retreated, and the brocade guard walked in cautiously, kowtowing and saluting. Huang Xilei opened his mouth and asked:

"The second child should have arranged for you to keep an eye on Dengzhou Jiangfeng, why did you come back so soon?"

Although this brocade guard has been on the road for almost a month, when he looked up and spoke, his face was still a little inexplicably excited, and he replied there:

"Master, the villain saw the Su sisters in Dengzhou, they are the two daughters of Su Shilang."

Hearing this, Huang Xilei's face was still leisurely, but his eyes suddenly grew a little, put the poetry book in his hand on the table, and slowly spoke:

"Am you not mistaken?"

The brocade guard walked to his front knee and said eagerly:

"Adult, the villain also went to raid the house back then, and I saw these two girls, although they were fatter than when they were in the capital, but they will never admit their mistake."

Huang Xilei stood up from the chair, turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window, and only after a long time did he speak:

"I thought they were starving to death in the capital, I didn't expect it, I didn't think of it!"

"It's just ......"

"I still sell such a pass with my master, don't say anything in a hurry!"

"The villain saw the two sisters of the Su family in Jiangfeng's mansion in Dengzhou, and they looked like they were already Jiang Feng's relatives!"

"What!?"

The foundation of the salt farm is to produce and sell salt, but now the salt farm in Aoshan cannot sell a pound of salt. This situation has been more than two months, Jiang Feng's ban is still very effective in Shandong Province, no one has touched this moldy head at all, and now there are real bandits on the sea.

Although Monk Li's fleet could not deal with the sailors, there was no problem at all in blocking a salt field. There is almost no need to mention it on land, and there is no one to ask for a price, and business is bleak.

Jiang Feng has been waiting for someone to be unable to stand the bleakness of the salt farm, according to the estimation of the salt merchants around him, the Aoshan salt field has lost at least 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver in the past two months, but the Aoshan side is quite calm, and there is no reaction at all.

This morning to get up, directly is to ride a horse towards the jade building, although it is the morning of late spring, there is still a little chill, but the road is already lively, naturally no one dares to block his way, when he walked to the front of the government office, the intersection on the side hurriedly ran over a person, just blocked the road, Jiang Feng was too late to restrain the horse, stopped and saw a person who looked like a trader there howling miserably.

Jiang Feng secretly cursed in his heart, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, the vendors on the ground had already jumped up, and the sharp blades in their hands stabbed towards Jiang Feng, and the cold light flashed.
