Poor Zhang Zixuan never knew why Qin Lin had that kind of ** and obscene smile on her face, I hope she never knows...... Qin Linqiang couldn't help laughing, and walked across the twenty-four bridges in a serious manner, and not far from the opposite side was the Cao Gang. **Fastest Update**

This Cao Gang is not a Jianghu Gang, but an officially recognized guild composed of Cao Yun practitioners, and the Huimin Pharmacy in the medical industry, the Luozu Hall of the tailor, and the Luban Association of the carpenter.

Originally, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, thirteen generals were set up under the general officer of Caoyun, and the commanders of the guards along the canal and thousands of households were appointed as commanders, and more than 13 million Caojun troops were in charge of Caoyun. However, with the collapse of the guard system, there was more and more shortage of the Cao army, and the private commercial transportation became more and more developed, and the civilian forces gradually replaced the guard ships to undertake the Cao transportation.

With the prosperity of the industry, the Cao Gang came into being, the upper leaders were the big businessmen and local gentry involved in the Cao Yun, the middle and lower classes were the treasurers, the bookkeepers, the clerks and other figures, and the bottom was composed of dock porters, canal porters and Cao transport boatmen.

On the one hand, the Cao Gang dealt with the officials, and on the other hand, they also mediated disputes related to Cao Yun, such as land grabbing and wharf, involving the rivers and lakes, and even had contacts with the green forest roads along the way.

Qin Lin and the three of them made this plan, but they were still far away from the head of the Cao Gang, and they heard the voices of people over there.

At the gate of the Cao Gang's helm, there are countless heads, I don't know how many people, the old ones are full of wrinkles, and the small ones are still in their mother's arms.

This fashion belongs to the world of Shengping, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are still very passable, although the poor people are also wearing warm cotton clothes, but nine out of ten are patched.

Except for the babies who are ignorant of the world, everyone has a look of fear and sorrow on their faces, and the men and sons are frowning, and the women are cloaked in hair, crying there:

"Tian Qiye, make the decision for us, wow, my man is about to be beaten to death by the official master......"

"Tiankou, I know that the shipwright is never allowed to enter the inner cabin of the ship, and the old man's son is just a rocker, and he can't even touch his fingers with the silver!"

"Aunt Zhang, your son is still on the boat, and my brother is just a fiber puller, who has been walking on the shore and can't even touch the boat......"

Qin Lin listened to it for a while, and then understood that it was Li Qiu, the governor of Caoyun, and Chen Wangmo, the chief military officer, who took the Cao Gong of this winter relief, whether it was a boatman or a porter, but everyone who was touched was detained in the barracks for interrogation, and hundreds of people were locked up in one go, and they took turns to pass through the hall every day to ask about the case, so the families of these Cao Gong were anxious and came to the Cao Gang to ask Tian Qiye Tian Zongjia (General Jia: the head of the Ming Dynasty Guild) to find a way to save people out. ##看小说必去##

There was no response from the helmsman of the Cao Gang, just two men wearing soap-colored cotton shirts guarding the door, and the families of these boatmen made trouble, but they did not make any radical moves, let alone tried to rush into the door, which shows that the Cao Gang is still quite authoritative in the eyes of the people.

It seems that Tian Zongjia's exit is not very good! Qin Lin touched his chin.

Many people blocked the gates, how could they get in?

Of course, it was difficult for Jia Fugui, he was familiar with the Cao Gang, and he took everyone around the alley three times and two times, and found a small door, which was also guarded by two soapy men.

"Tian Qiye is sick and doesn't see any outsiders." The two soap-clothed men stretched out an arm on the left and right and stopped Jia Fugui.

"I'm Tian Qiye's old friend, Jinling's old Jia, can you recognize it clearly?" Jia Fugui lost face, and pointed to his white and chubby face for the soapy man to recognize.

The man in the soapy coat didn't even want to talk to him, because he was making noise, so he had to close the door.

Qin Lin took a step forward and pinned his feet in before the door closed, the two men were about to get angry, he smiled and took out a letter from his arms: "I really have a huge business to discuss with Tian Qiye, you send this letter in, saying that Mr. Lin is visiting, Tian Qiye will come to greet him in person." **Fastest update**"

Seeing that Qin Lin was sure, the man in soap took the letter, one went in to deliver the letter, and the other still stayed to guard the door, looking like he didn't believe it - Tian Qiye was not only the chief armor of more than 100,000 workers, but also donated the qualifications of the prisoners and the title of secretary of the cabinet, if the Yangzhou prefect came to visit his old man, maybe he would come out to greet him, if the county magistrate of Jiangdu County (Yangzhou Fucheng) visited, he might not be able to bird him!

This person is young, how much can he do to ask Tian Qiye to greet him personally?

What's more, these days because of the theft of Caoyin, Tian Qiye is so anxious that he has no intention of seeing customers at all. ,

Unexpectedly, Tian Qiye's hearty and heroic laughter had come out of it: "Mr. Lin's big deal, you must take care of Tian, otherwise Tian will not be able to sleep well, hahahaha......"

Tian Qiye is burly, with a Chinese face, wearing a dark green silk cotton robe with a blessing character and flowers, and a Haoran scarf, which looks quite majestic.

"Who am I, it turned out that Lao Jia took care of someone Tian and invited Mr. Lin to the big Buddha," Tian Qiye said to Jia Fugui, and pulled Qin Lin's arm, especially affectionate: "Let's go, Mr. Lin, please, raw silk and Ning silk are both big deals, we should be a good match......

The soap-shirted man guarding the door opened his mouth and spit out his tongue, secretly saying how big is this Mr. Lin's business, so that Tian Qiye can treat him like this? Could it be that he is Shen Wansan and has a cornucopia at home?

Qin Lin entered the helm of the Cao Gang, only to find that the garrison here was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there were only two men guarding the door outside, in fact, there were groups of strong men patrolling back and forth, and everyone's clothes were bulging, presumably hiding daggers, iron rulers and other things, and there were men on the rockery pavilion with strong bows on their backs, not to mention weapons that ordinary people could have.

Tian Qiye said loudly about the business of raw silk and porcelain all the way, Qin Lin didn't know much, basically Jia Fugui and him were perfunctory, and the maids, servants, and strong men in the rudder all looked at Qin Lin and the others with some surprise, I don't know how big the business is, Tian Qiye will personally receive it at the moment when he is in a hurry.

Tian Qiye did not take them to the hall, but went to the study, loudly told Yahuan that there was a big business to discuss, and then carefully closed the door.

"Sinners knock on Chief Qin!" Tian Qiye threw his head down, and raised a piece of paper above his head with both hands.

Qin Lin smiled and took back the piece of paper - Liu Shouyou, the prince of the left capital governor of the palm brocade clothes guard, signed it by himself, and entrusted him to investigate the theft of Caoyin, just now Qin Lin put it in an envelope and asked the man in soap to send it in to Tian Qiye to see.

Tian Qiye's actions of cooperating with the secret investigation have proved that he is a smart person, and Qin Lin likes to deal with this kind of person very much, because they are always very interesting.

Jia Fugui looked greedy next to him, like Tian Qiye was already a big man in the shopping mall, and his capital and influence were beyond his reach, but when he saw Qin Lin, he had to kneel down immediately, the majesty of this officialdom was really amazing.

Qin Lin took a good time to help Tian Qiye up, and comforted him a few words, saying that as long as the case was solved as soon as possible, those imprisoned Cao Gong could be released as soon as possible, so he also asked him to cooperate with the investigation and try to provide useful clues.

"Clues? I don't know ...... mouth" Tian Qiye blinked his eyes, and spread his hands very helplessly: "The White Lotus Sect has always been with our Cao Gang well water does not interfere with river water, who knew that they lost their minds this time, and actually stretched their hands into the canal, alas~ I think that the good and bad in my Cao Gang are uneven, and I am really bewitched by one or two demons, which I can't say; But the government even arrested the slender man, which is inevitably too much. ”

Qin Lin smiled, knowing that Tian Qiye's remarks were quite untrue, and pointed at Jia Fugui and Zhang Zixuan: "These two are the confidants of the official, you can speak freely, since the official is secretly visiting, what you say will never leak out half a word."

Moreover, if the case is solved as soon as possible, won't the suspicion of the Cao Gang be cleared as soon as possible and the canal resume normal shipping? This official estimates that the arrested Cao Gongtian General A may not be taken to heart, but the canal is blocked, and there is a huge Cao Gang, and the daily losses are probably calculated in 1,000 taels of silver. ”

The entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is controlled by the Cao Gang, with 150,000 Cao Gang people, the canal is blocked for a day, and the livelihood of these people is not settled for a day, which is an imminent pressure for the Cao Gang.

Sure enough, Tian Qiye's complexion changed a few times when he heard this, and finally smiled helplessly: "Tian's position as the chief A is really a mouse in the bellows - a few heads are angry, and all aspects are urging, if it weren't for these gangs to stay, I wouldn't want to do it for even a day." ”

Later, Tian Qiye provided a few useful information, but because the gang members who participated in the winter solution were arrested because they were slightly touched by the side of the Cao Yin boat, he also learned from the peripheral gang members of the winter solution that because of all kinds of small calculations, they had not mentioned it to the government before.

First, on the night of anchoring in Sanwan, an insomniac helmsman happened to hear someone coughing in the secret cabin, and he told a friend who pulled the fiber, and then found out that the silver was stolen, so he was locked up, and his friend was pulling another boat, so he was not arrested, and he said it when the Cao Gang investigated internally.

Because I don't know what the direction of officialdom is, how the two ministers of civil and military affairs take responsibility, I am afraid that there is not even a scum left when a Cao gang general A is involved, and the cough seems to have no connection with silver theft, so Tian Qiye concealed the matter.

Second, when Zhenjiang Mansion loaded the Caoyin from the Mansion, the shipwright in charge of the Caoyin ship felt that it seemed that Kuding had spent a little more time and talked about it with other partners.

Because the general setting of Caojun is two in Jiangbei and two in Jiangnan, and they are passing the buck to each other for the theft case, and the local government is also involved in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, after all, the silver was lost in Yangzhou Sanwan, Tian Qiye was afraid of getting involved in political disputes, and did not dare to report the affairs of Zhenjiang Mansion.
