169 The Ministers Who Heard the Wind

"Father, we must be prepared for the affairs of Dinghai County. If the Wang family vents their anger on us...... "Zhoushan Island, Dinghaiwei commands the yamen, Qian Longxi's brows have not been stretched in the past few days.

Looking at his son, Qian Longxi sighed, "Precautions? How to prepare? ”

"We can't just sit still!" Qian Yuncheng had a bitter face, "It's Shen Yue's kid who has reaped the biggest benefits in this." His luck was just too good! ”

"Luck? Do you think he relied on luck to reap the benefits? Qian Longxi looked at his son with a disappointed face.

"Could it be that he planned all this? If he has this ability......" Qian Yuncheng looked incredulous.

"It was Tong Guan and the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who planned all this, and Chen Yinqing was also investigating this matter. Jinyiwei planted forces in this position, no one would have thought of it...... Could Shen Yue really be a coincidence? The destruction of the royal family is a disaster, for us; But for him, it is a good thing, if he takes Wujiawan, he may even get the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that the Wang family was robbed......" Qian Longxi said coldly.

Qian Yuncheng also understood in an instant.

It's really not a result of luck.

"Father, do you mean that when the Wang family was slaughtered, Shen Yue's people were waiting outside?" Qian Yuncheng's eyes widened.

"Who knows? We owe him a favor this time. Luo Cheng exonerated himself, and he would not dare to pour dirty water on us...... It's best that the emperor won't even think about us...... This matter, even Wang Yongguang did not dare to let the court investigate, otherwise the affairs of the Wang family would ......" Qian Longxi snorted coldly.

It's all about profit.

If Wujiawan were not for the Wang family, it would not have been possible for Ningbo maritime merchants to reach the sea at all.

The imperial court had prepared to set up a guard for a thousand households, but it was also prevented.

"If Shen Yue comes to us......" Qian Yuncheng looked at his father and felt that he was indeed not suitable for mixing officialdom.

"I'll talk about it later." Qian Longxi sighed again.

With this new agent of thousands of households in Dinghai County, life is not lonely.

The capital, the residence of King Yongguang of Shangshu.

A burly servant, exhausted and pale-faced, was almost helped in by the porter.

Shangshu Wang Yongguang had just returned from the court, and before he had time to change his court clothes, when he heard the news of Jinling, he suddenly entered the study with a gloomy face.

"Zhao Jiayu turned against the water, Dinghai County was slaughtered, and the branch of Wang's house was slaughtered......" Hearing the report of his subordinates, Wang Yongguang's whole person seemed to have suffered a lightning strike.

"Poof...... for a long time, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, causing the entire Shangshu Mansion to become chaotic.

The Zhang family and Zhang Peiju also got the news, knowing that the Zhang family was saved by Dinghaiwei's subordinates who got the news at the most critical moment, but they were not too anxious.

"How many days does Luo Cheng have to enter Beijing?" Zhang Shanlu's face was gloomy, thinking about the dangers and opportunities that this matter would bring to the Zhang family.

There were three days left at most, and on the second day after the accident in Dinghai County, he rushed back in the starry night, and hardly rested all the way. Third Master, this matter is very important, Mrs. Tai asked me to report the news to you as soon as possible. The servant said.

"Alright, you go down and rest first." Zhang Peiju asked the housekeeper to take the messenger down to rest, "Ask Shanshou and Shanxii to come to my study." ”

"Father!" "Uncle!"

Zhang Shanshou and Zhang Shanxi hurriedly entered the study.

"A few days ago, Zhao Jiayu of Dinghai County rebelled, and the Wang family was killed and their property was looted...... Dinghai County ordered Sun Desheng to die, and Luo Cheng was almost killed......" Zhang Peiju introduced what happened in Dinghai with a serious face.

"Father, this is an opportunity for us, and we can use this matter to bring down the Wang family. Wujiawan has always been the outlet for the Wang family, and there are even other families in Ningbo Mansion involved......" Zhang Shanshou said with bright eyes.

And Zhang Shanxi bowed his head in contemplation.

Zhang Peiju looked at him and asked, "What do you think about Shanxi?" ”

"Uncle, if the old thief Wen used this as an excuse to attack the Zhang family for colluding with the bandits...... Zhang Shanxi said with some concern.

"Shanxi, why did he frame our family for colluding with pirates? Our family was also attacked, and there was Yu Shi Luo Cheng as a witness. Zhang Shanshou said eagerly.

Obviously, he disagreed.

Thinking that this is an opportunity for the Zhang family, the feud between the Wang family and the Zhang family has been concluded as early as twenty years ago.

The Zhang family made their fortune in Dinghai, and the mouth of Wujiawan to the sea originally belonged to the Zhang family, but it was eventually robbed by the Wang family and other families.

"Let's talk about the specifics." Zhang Peiju did not speak, but encouraged Zhang Shanxi.

Zhang Shanxi has been a senior scholar for several years, starting from the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, and is still a member of the Ministry of Rites from Wupin, this is not that he lacks opportunities, but Zhang Peiju used the power in his hands to let him enter the ministries to familiarize himself with the situation and establish his own contacts.

Born into a merchant family, he has an extremely unique vision.

"Before, our family was impeached for colluding with pirates...... Qin sent Luo Cheng to Dinghai, and Zhao Jiayu raised troops to rebel, and all the rich families in Dinghai County were robbed, but the Zhang family was attacked in the end, but they were rescued at a critical moment...... "Zhang Shanxi expressed his worries.

These things are all seen by Luo Cheng with his own eyes.

Luo Cheng's attitude will be very important.

"And our Zhang family and the Wang family already have a grudge, the Wang family was slaughtered, who can believe that it has nothing to do with us?" Zhang Shanxi's words made Zhang Peiju's face extremely gloomy.

Even Zhang Shanshou gasped.

"If the old thief Wen attacks with this, the Wang family will cry to the emperor again, even if it is impossible for Qin Chaluo CD to help us get rid of the crime." Zhang Shanxi was even more worried.

"The Wang family will not only not follow the old thief Wen this time, but will help us speak!" Zhang Peiju shook his head.

The two looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"The profits of sea trade are almost related to everyone in the imperial court, once this matter is exposed, what will happen when the imperial court lacks money?" Zhang Peiju asked them.

The two shook their heads blankly.

"Once the emperor learns about the profits of sea trade, he will definitely intervene in this, no matter who it is, he will not let the emperor interfere in it...... This matter will only be reduced to a small matter, and a small matter will be reduced to nothing. "Zhang Peiju has been in the DPRK for decades, so he naturally knows the urine nature of the ministers.

"The side branch of the Wang family was slaughtered!" Zhang Shanxi couldn't figure this out.

"That's a side branch of the Wang family, if the matter is big and people go to investigate the matter, how to explain the profits of the Wang family's sea trade in the past ten years? Originally, Wang Yongguang had always been the secretary of the military department of Nanzhili, and the power in his hands was ......," Zhang Peiju said.

Wen Tiren also got the news.

He was in his study, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, contemplating how much he could do with it.

The matter involved the Zhang family and the Wang family, and he could even burn this fire on Zhou Yanru, but he was worried.
