Chapter 352: Jiangnan Journey (4)
Originally, Luo Yi was going to take it back, but after thinking about it, Zuixianju would have to develop in Jiangnan in the future, and Jiangnan was a rich land in Shoushan, so it was indispensable to ask Hu Ran for help, only 50,000 taels, Luo Yi gritted his teeth, and he didn't plan to ask for it.

Of course, it is not so simple for Hu Ran to ask for this silver, and there are many places to help in the future, such as the National Chamber of Commerce, the Drunken Immortal Residence, and even buying and selling grain, all of which are indispensable to him.
Hearing Luo Yi say this, Hu Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at Luo Yi suspiciously, and asked, "Master Hou, but what?" If you have something to say, the lower official will definitely do it for you. ”
Luo Yi chuckled and said, "Then tell me, what did I come to Jiangnan for this time?" ”
Hu Ran said: "Didn't you say that in order to buy grain, the lower official has already contacted the grain merchant and provided it to the Hou Ye at any time." ”
"It's good, but it's just one of them, and the most important thing."
Hu Ran suddenly said: "Xia Guan knows, is it about those restaurants?" ”
"The lower officials will go and seal him, and they will not be allowed to sell wine in the future."
Hu Ran was about to leave as he spoke, Luo Yi hurriedly pulled him and said: "Although you are the envoy of Jiangnan Jiedu, you hold the military power in your hand and cover the sky with one hand, but... You have to have a name for arresting people, right? If you can't go and start grabbing, is there any royal law? ”
Hu Ran was obviously familiar with this kind of thing, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the lower officials have already thought about it, and they said that they had colluded with the prisoners, and they should be arrested and interrogated. ”
"What about the prisoners?"
"In prison, just find one."
Hu Ran said: "Master Hou, don't worry, this kind of thing... Er, in short, it's very simple, the lower officials will definitely be able to do it properly. ”
Luo Yi deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Okay, anyway, I didn't hear or see anything, don't ask me what to do." ”
"I woke up early today, and I still have to go back to catch up on sleep."
"Yes."
Luo Yi took Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong and left quickly.
Hu Ran asked people to carry all the boxes to the secret room, and then found the county order of the Wuyang Mansion.
In addition to the festival envoy and the county order, Wuyang also has a long history, which is in charge of Jiangnan's internal affairs, but in Jiangnan, Hu Ran and the governor of Jiangnan are incompatible, so he has to find a county order to do this kind of thing.
The county magistrate's name is Guo Fuyang, and Hu Ran was transferred from other counties, so he can be said to be his confidant.
At this time in the lobby, Guo Fuyang had just arrived, and Hu Ran said: "You immediately take people and go and seal up those restaurants for me, and all the people will be arrested and put in prison." ”
Guo Fuyang was taken aback and asked, "My lord, why did you forget, didn't you say that after receiving their money, you won't do it anymore?" ”
"That was before, can you do it now if you don't do it?"
Hu Ran said: "You don't know, Luo Yi is here, and he reprimanded me just now, if I don't do it again, he should do it to me." ”
"Lao Guo, you have to remember, never underestimate these Beijing officials, especially the little lord who stays by the emperor's side, they can pass through the sky, although I am a second-grade master, and I am also a festival envoy with military power... However, be careful with this step, I'm afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of Wu Zhengwen. ”
Guo Fuyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and even Hu Ran said this, then he is nothing, a small county order, any official can execute him.
Guo Fuyang replied repeatedly: "Okay, the next official will go and seal up the restaurant of those people!" ”
.............
As soon as Luo Yi returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence, he saw a group of soldiers appear on the street, running towards the south.
Zhao Wenxian said: "I didn't expect this Hu Ran to do things quite quickly, we just came back, and he arrived on his hind feet." If this is the case earlier, it will also save us a trip to Jiangnan. ”
"It's angry when you think about it, the eldest brother shouldn't give him the 50,000 taels, that's 50,000 taels, he also deserves it?"
Zhao Wenxian's face showed arrogance, he saw it very clearly, Hu Ran was afraid of Luo Yi, afraid that Luo Yi would find fault with him, and it just so happened that Hu Ran was a corrupt official, and he was not clean, such a person, do you still need to be afraid? Grab a small braid at any time, and you can pull the blood.
Luo Yi said: "You can't say that, Hu Ran is the envoy of Jiangnan Province, in charge of more than 50,000 elite soldiers, and has the power of life and death. You must know that even the emperor has to think twice about moving these people. ”
Zhao Wenxian said: "But I always feel that it is not worth giving 50,000 taels of silver to this kind of villain." ”
"Whether it's worth it or not, let's talk about it later."
Luo Yi said with a smile: "When they do things, they often do things without compromise, so, villains... Maybe people who can do great things and follow the rules are the most useless. ”
These truths will not be understood if they are said, Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong looked at each other and shook their heads.
At this time, the two teams of soldiers who had walked under the building came back, escorting more than a dozen people, rushing towards the direction of the government, and the dozen or so people who were caught shouted loudly that they were wronged, and some had to shout to see Hu Ran. But the soldiers didn't care about this, punched and kicked, handcuffed, and dragged forward.
After a short time, more than a dozen people were taken to the government and locked in cells.
At the same time, in a small courtyard in the north of the city, a servant was reporting to an older man: "My lord, for some reason, Hu Ran suddenly ordered the arrest of more than a dozen merchants who opened restaurants on the street, and sealed their shops. said that these people were involved in other cases, and the little ones couldn't understand it and felt strange, so they came to report it to the adults. ”
This slightly older old man is the governor of Jiangnan Province, named Li Hengbin; Don't look at him for a long time, but the poor are not as good as ordinary households, and the house he lives in is dilapidated, which was given by the imperial court, and has not been renovated since he moved in.
Not to mention decoration, in his case, it is very fortunate to be able to guarantee three meals a day.
Li Hengbin and Hu Ran have always been at odds, and he also knows that Hu Ran is a corrupt official, and he doesn't know how much money he has defrauded the people, but he has no way, if he wants to move to such a big official, he has no way to start, he can only stare in secret.
The soldier who came to report just now was the one he arranged by Hu Ran's side, and Hu Ran's every move was under his control.
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Li Hengbin snorted: "Needless to say, it must have been instructed by Luo Yi to seal these people's shops, so that Luo Yi's Drunken Immortal Residence business will be better." I didn't expect Luo Yi, a dignified prince, to do this kind of thing. ”
"And what about adults?"
"Me? I waited and watched what happened, braking with static, and striking later. ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "The little one doesn't understand. ”
Li Hengbin said: "You don't even understand this, no wonder you can only be a small soldier." ”
"One of them is the Hou Ye, and the other is the Jiangnan Provincial Envoy, how can I afford to provoke it, but I have the right to speak about the case, if they dare to make a big deal, I have the right to ask."
"They sealed the dozen restaurants and arrested people, I think they will never give up, if I guess correctly, they want to kill people and eliminate future troubles forever, and when people die, I will be better than asking, hum."
"At that time, I want to see how majestic the Hou Ye is."
