Zhou Lang doesn't know how many henchmen He Shen has, but this Su Ling'a must be one, this person gave birth to two daughters who are as beautiful as flowers, and they are extremely famous in Beijing, one of them is married to He Shen's younger brother He Lin, who is in-law with the He family.

If such people are not Heshen's henchmen, it can only be said that Heshen's level of winning people is too poor, but on the contrary, Heshen's ability in this area is extremely strong, so Su Ling'a must be one of Heshen's henchmen.

Historically, He Shen was arrested and imprisoned by Jiaqing, and was guilty of twenty major crimes, and this Su Ling'a was the head of He Shen's eleventh major crime.

He Shen's crime was, "Su Ling'a, a university scholar, is hard of hearing in both ears, and is embarrassed by old age, because he is the in-law of Yidi and Lin, he actually hides it." It means that Su Ling's two ears can't hear clearly, and He Shen doesn't even report it.

Zhou Lang didn't know so much, so detailed, but as soon as he heard that Su Ling'a was now the governor of Liangjiang, he immediately felt very child's play, because Su Ling'a was indeed old, and he was eighty-one years old this year.

And the previous governor was Funing, this person made Zhou Lang pay a little attention. Because although Funing is also a Manchurian, but he is not right, he is born in a coat, starting from the pen tips, and climbing to the position of the governor step by step, this kind of phoenix man who climbs from the bottom and works hard step by step is often more powerful than the psychology of the powerful, more supportive of the existing order, and more hateful to those who disrupt the order, this kind of talent is suitable for suppressing bandits.

But on the eve of Zhou Lang's Northern Expedition, the Qing court actually deposed Funing, which also led to the breakoff of the news, Zhou Lang did not receive such a major news as the replacement of the governor of Liangjiang, but there must be something wrong with the intelligence agency, more than two months have passed since his Northern Expedition, so long, even if the people cannot receive the news, they can always collect these news from the Manchu officials who surrendered or were captured, and as a result, Zhou Lang has been carrying out military plans according to Funing's character traits for such a long time.

Fu Ning is a beneficiary of the current regime, Su Ling'a is a powerful person of the current regime, can the two behave the same, and can the battle plan against the two be the same.

Therefore, the intelligence agency must be derelict in its duties, and Zhou Lang decided to go back and reorganize the collection and investigate the person in charge.

Now deal with the matter in front of you, the Qing court suddenly appointed an eighty-one-year-old magnate, what is the situation.

This old magnate sent a coat, of course Zhou Lang had to ask carefully.

Su Ling'a's coating told Zhou Lang the actual situation. Funing was impeached for slaughtering an entire surrendered White Lotus Sect bandit in the suppression of bandits, and the emperor issued an edict reprimanding "Funing's move to lose people's hearts and hurt the principles of heaven, arrest and punish the crime, and send Xinjiang to Xinjiang."

Bao Yi said that because Funing slaughtered the White Lotus Sect's surrendered troops, causing other bandits to surrender with the intention of surrendering, but now they will not surrender, so he was condemned and received such a severe punishment as exile in Xinjiang.

Zhou Lang felt that this was probably Funing's offense. Because Zhou Lang knew that Funing's previous approach was quite proper, and he was much more dedicated to suppressing bandits than the few governors who had been deposed before. He sat in Jiangning, not only blocked Chen Zhouquan, but also helped Hubei to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, and even once hit the westernmost part of Hunan, and joined the Qing army in Sichuan. But the more the White Lotus Sect fights, it is considered to have no merit, but it will not be convicted.

As for who Funing offended, Zhou Lang didn't know, although now Heshen has the power to monopolize and has the nickname of the second emperor, there may be more people who have moved to Funing, not necessarily Heshen, but Heshen is very suspicious, because it is his person who succeeds Funing.

Zhou Lang has something unclear, Liangjiang doesn't look like a good place no matter how you look at it, why would He Shen install his in-laws here, could it be that He Shen, the old in-law, also offended He Shen?

It was still the coat that told the truth from their point of view.

Su Ling came to the two rivers, which was completed before Zhou Lang's Northern Expedition. At that time, no one knew that Zhou Lang would go on a northern expedition, when Zhou Lang occupied Guangdong, he went to fight Guangxi, and the Manchu court judged that Zhou Lang was attacking along the direction of Guangxi and Yunnan, who would have thought that Zhou Lang would go north along the coast and sweep the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After judging that Zhou Lang's combat direction was Guangxi, Liangjiang was actually not in any danger. First of all, during the period when Funing was in Jiangning, not only successfully blocked Chen Zhouquan, but also finally Ruan Yuan's militia began to counterattack, everyone could see that Chen Zhouquan's time was running out, and the White Lotus Sect basically disappeared in Hubei under the blows of Liangjiang and Huguang, and the large army entered the northern Sichuan area, and it is estimated that there will be no time to jump in a few days. Liangjiang is about to be recovered, which is a great achievement, and whoever becomes the governor of Liangjiang at this time is simply here to pick up credit.

Su Ling'a, who is already in his eighties, has not lived for a few years, and if he can make such a contribution before he dies, he will have the opportunity to give his descendants a chance to give Yin Jue. So after snatching this last credit, Su Ling'a can also retire and wait for death. Or if he dies directly in Jiang Ning's office, the credit will be greater, and with Heshen taking care of him in the court, he may be able to be crowned a duke.

Will such a man die for his master?

Zhou Lang thought about it, it was really possible.

An eighty-one-year-old guy, he himself knows that he will not live for a few days, he came to Jiangning to grab credit, and he plans to make a fortune for his family before he dies, not to mention now, in the officialdom of the 21st century, the most greedy is the kind of old cadres who are about to retire, they are not afraid of being investigated, they are not afraid of being dismissed, and they can even save face.

Su Ling'a died, there was He Shen to help the activities, no matter what virtue he had before, no matter whether he held Jiangning or not, the emperor had to give him a pension, and he couldn't run away from giving his son a future.

So what did this guy want to do when he sent a coat to find Zhou Lang?

"What do you mean by your master sending you to me?"

Zhou Lang asked.

Bao Yi smiled: "My master wants to ask, how much do you plan to ask, Dashuai, can you let Jiang Ning go?" ”

Zhou Lang was stunned, damn, this is another one who came to redeem the city, could it be that his business in selling the city has sold brands? Everybody buys the city for themselves!

Zhou Lang snorted coldly: "Go back and tell your master that Nanjing City is not for sale." Let him think about it, don't do foolish things, stubborn resistance will not lead to good results in the end. ”

Zhou Lang wanted to threaten a few words, persuade him to surrender or something, but he couldn't open his mouth, because no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't provide Su Ling'a with any satisfactory conditions for the other party. can only say that there is no good result, but the worst result does not threaten the other party, making Zhou Lang's threat pale and powerless!

On the second day, he returned and came to discuss with Zhou Lang, saying that his master was willing to pay one million taels of silver in exchange for Zhou Lang's retirement.

Zhou Lang refused, and Bao Yi said that his master said that if he refused to withdraw from the army after giving him 10 million taels of silver, then let the marshal give him 10 million taels of silver, and he would give Jiang Ning to the marshal.

Zhou Lang was really stunned this time, he blackmailed the Manchu magnates on He Shen's head, and he never thought that he himself would be blackmailed one day.

But 10 million for Nanjing, no matter how you look at this deal, it is not a loss!
