Chapter 496: Ready, Just Waiting for Us to Play with Big Drums and Sing Big Shows!

This is the Yuan Dynasty Mr. Zhensu made, Mr. Zhensu is good at landscapes, teaching Li Cheng, Guo Xi, the mountains and rocks are soft and fine, less rendering, the brush and ink are beautiful in the early years, and the style is sparse and simple. This "Picture of the Peaks and Snow Ji" is a good product of Mr. Zhensu in his later years, with an open scene and a deep artistic conception. Although it depicts a snow scene, it does not give people a feeling of desolation, but in this icy and snowy scenery, it seems that there is still a faint feeling of spring. Zhu Jue admired the painting and commented on it.

However, except for the Guangzhou governor Yingshan, who only flattered a few words perfunctorily, for these so-called famous landscape paintings, in his eyes, he was not as appreciative as Jin Yu. It's just that as the intermediary between the Eight Banners of Guangzhou and Zhu Qi, the governor of Guangzhou, Yingshan is a scheming person after all, and patiently listens to the other party's art appreciation there.

The corner of Zhu Jue's eyes glanced at Na Yingshan, and when he saw the governor of Guangdong pretending to be on the side, he secretly smiled contemptuously in his heart, but he didn't break it, sat down, took a sip of tea, and said: "This painting is a gift from Pan Youdu, the chief merchant of the thirteen lines, yesterday." According to what Lord Futai saw, how much can this thing be on duty? ”

"Huh?!" Yingshan really didn't expect that this Zhu Jue, who has always been a pretentious and high-minded person, actually talked to him about a vulgar thing, and he was really a little uncomfortable, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and after looking at the painting for a long time, he made some calculations according to the level of his usual gift-giving.

"At least it is worth five thousand taels, if it is a lower official, it is less than five thousand taels, and it will not be able to take it at all." Young-sun is very sure of the authenticity. "After all, my lord, you are the governor, if you take an object of three or five hundred taels to send you, this is not only to look down on you, but also to look down on your identity as the governor of Liangguang."

Hearing this, Zhu Jue looked at the governor of Guangdong who was looking at the eloquent look with a dull gaze, and he felt that this guy was really shameless, and he could even say such words.

"Your Excellency, I don't know if what the Lower Officials are right, my lord, what's wrong with you?" Yingshan couldn't help but ask a little stunned when he saw Zhu Jue's wooden eyes.

"It's nothing, hehe, I didn't expect that Lord Ying had a high evaluation of this painting, that's right, if this "Peaks and Snow Ji Map" falls in the eyes of those collectors, I'm afraid it will be more than that, this Pan Youdu, but he can really get his hands on it." Zhu Jue gently patted his forehead with his hand. "Do you know what Pan Youdu is here?"

--------------------

"Isn't it for the general soldier Liang?" Ying Shan asked casually following Zhu Jue's words. "That Pan Youdu is the father-in-law of Mr. Liang, in the past few years, the Pan family's business house has become bigger and bigger, here, our Mr. Liang has made a lot of efforts, hum...... Xia Guan thought that he Liang Pengfei was clearly cracking down on smugglers and pirates, and he was afraid that it was actually so that his father-in-law could control the smuggling in the Liangguang Sea, otherwise, why did Yingyi Panheng on Hong Kong Island, and the former governor Changlin strictly ordered that he should not trade with Yishang without authorization, but the Pan family firm has been doing a huge business in the past few years? ”

"There are other thirteen merchants, and they must also be in the same breath, otherwise, why don't tariffs rise every year?" Yingshan has been in Guangdong for half a year, and in the past six months, except for the beginning of his appointment, those businessmen from Guangdong and Guangdong have given some congratulatory gifts, but they rarely come to the door again.

Think about whether he was serving as an envoy in Zhili, or as a political envoy in Hunan, or as a political envoy in Guangxi, or as a governor in Guizhou, where those merchants and gentry were tolerant of entering their own courts, and the filial piety they received every year was not more than 100,000 taels of silver, and sometimes it could even reach as much as 178,000 taels.

But when I arrived in the fishy land of Guangdong, I had long heard that the merchants in Guangdong were so rich that the silver could almost be built into a mountain, but as a result, after coming for half a year, the gifts received would definitely not add up to more than 20,000 taels of silver, which made Yingshan extremely unhappy in his heart, and it could even be said to be the anger of renunciation. I finally came to Guangdong, but I ended up earning less than in other places, how can this make Yingshan mentally balanced.

But when he wanted to find fault with these guys, or when he was picking on the thorns, Yingshan found that he had hit the iron plate, and Liang Pengfei actually brazenly stood up to support his father-in-law, hmm...... and his uncle Ye Shanglin to support him.

These two are the masters of the thirteen lines in Guangdong, Pan Youdu is the general merchant, and if he wins the general merchant, other businessmen will be subservient, but as soon as Liang Pengfei, a guy who disregards the rules of officialdom, jumped out, Yingshan was a little blind, couldn't make money, couldn't scrape the ground, and Yingshan naturally hated Liang Pengfei to the core.

Therefore, after the Eight Banners Left Commander Ebuga and Liang Pengfei formed a feud, Yingshan instigated the stupid and stupid Ebuga to oppose Liang Pengfei, but what he didn't expect was that the new governor of Liangguang actually found him, so the two sides hit it off and had a common goal, that is, to pull Liang Pengfei off the horse.

Zhu Jue wants to pull Liang Pengfei off the horse, firstly, for Liwei, and secondly, he wants to use Liang Pengfei's case to find a way to get on Na Heshen's body, even if he can't overturn him, he will be disgusted and messed up, not only to relieve his hatred in his heart, but also to let Prince Jia see that although his teacher is far away in Guangdong, he still has the ability to influence the court, and attaches more importance to his political skills and abilities.

And Na Yingshan and other people want to engage Liang Pengfei, there are also many reasons, first, Liang Pengfei has already offended that Ebujia to death, Ebujia will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, second, originally those smugglers, but many of them are related to those Eight Banners, as a result, Liang Pengfei has been fighting smuggling fiercely in the past two years, so that those Guangzhou Eight Banners have lost a lot of silver.

Another point, this guy doesn't pay attention to the rules of officialdom at all, and actually covers those businessmen, plus his house slave martial arts is now also the general soldier of a town, and the two powerful figures support these merchants behind their backs, which has made those officials who have received countless bribes extremely unhappy.

Therefore, when they heard that Liang Pengfei was going to be overthrown, 99 percent of the officials in the two Guangxi Provinces would happily raise their hands and vote in favor.

Zhu Qi felt that he was thinking about the overall situation of the court, and Yingshan and others were in order to be able to make money in Liangguang smoothly.

Zhu Jue prides himself on being a famous man in the Qing Dynasty, and he hates corruption very much, but he himself cannot change the status quo of the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom, and all he thinks about in his heart is how to deal with these corrupt officials and make a false snake, first take down Liang Pengfei, and fiercely shake the officials of the two Guangzhous.

Not...... This is almost the wishful thinking of all literati who have read a little bit of books.

Zhu Jue smiled and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the governor also suspects that Liang Pengfei has put on a posture of loyalty to the country on his face, but in fact, he doesn't know how many dirty things he has done in private. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor, General Fuchang has been sending people to secretly monitor the behavior of the people of the Liang Mansion, and since this period of time, the Liang Mansion has a lot of fresh faces, all of them are plagiaristic men, and one or two have murderous faces, and at a glance they know that they are evildoers, and ordinary people have no way to get close to the Liang Mansion.

--------------------

However, one thing can already be determined, then Liang Pengfei must have colluded with the pirates, if it weren't for General Fuchang and the Governor, you have already made arrangements, Xia Guan really wants to ask your Excellency to do it immediately, and take down this fang and Pan Youdu and other people, so as to show the law of the country. ”

"The target of our waiting is Liang Pengfei, a chaotic minister and thief with a lot of suspicion, Pan Youdu and others are just a businessman, as long as Liang Pengfei is cleaned up, they are not ready to be caught? Therefore, do not do anything that startles the snake. Zhu Jue glanced at Na Yingshan with his meaningful gaze.

Yingshan smiled in disguise and said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Governor, then the lower officials dare to ask Lord Governor, when do we have to wait?" You know, General Fuchang and Edu have already been arranged, as long as you ...... Governor."

"Please tell General Fu and Edu Tong, this is Guangzhou City, his subordinates are all in Humen Town, here, even if he hides three or five hundred of his subordinates, what is the use, is it that the governor's standard camp is vegetarian? In a few days, as soon as the emperor's decree arrives, the governor will let him come to the governor's mansion to wait for the decree. Zhu Jue looked so confident.

"Okay, since the governor has a good plan, the lower officials will return to General Fu, and when the time comes, we will come together to see this fang to confess his guilt and surrender the law, and restore my two Guangdong Qingming." Ying Shan was overjoyed, got up immediately, and gave a solemn salute to Zhu Jue.

In the Liang Mansion, Liang Pengfei's right-hand men were nesting together at the moment, and they were also thinking. "My lord, these days, the defense of the Governor's Mansion is much stricter than before, and the Governor's Battalion is also cheering up and is stepping up training, it seems that it is preparing to sharpen its guns before going into battle."

"It seems that the time for them to get ready to do it is also coming soon."

"Don't worry, my lord, the layout in the city has been fully completed, in the past few months, our people have infiltrated a lot as coolies, miscellaneous laborers and craftsmen, most of them are from Guangzhou, there will be no flaws at all, the thirteen lines, the dock area, has been completely controlled by us, in addition, all the weapons have been placed in place, when the time comes, only need your order, we can control the vital parts in the shortest possible time. As for the little supervision and care standards in the city, we really didn't pay attention to them. Ni Ming said confidently.

"Hmph, even if they don't want to move, Lao Tzu wants to provoke them to move, I don't have time to continue grinding with them, the strategic deployment in the north has been completed, and all the soldiers and horses are on standby, just waiting for us to play the drum and sing the big show." Liang Pengfei said with a smile. This day he had been looking forward to for a long time.
