Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River Haohao soup, from Jinling down to Zhenjiang, it will arrive at a major hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, all kinds of boats increase sharply, thousands of sails on the river, hundreds of boats compete for the current.

Jiangbei starts from the Jing Canal in Yangzhou Prefecture and leads directly to the Yellow River and Qingjiangpu, and then connects the imperial ruling center on the North China Plain, Jingshi, from the Li Canal. The grain ships going north continuously transported the grain from the south of the Yangtze River to North China, supplied the needs of the Beijing division, and raised the soldiers of the nine sides.

The Jiangnan Canal runs from Changzhou and Suzhou to Hangzhou, connecting the land of Jiangnan, and Shu brocade, Ningxi, and Jingdezhen porcelain all have to be transported to Hangzhou Bay or Ningbo to the sea through it, in exchange for a steady stream of silver for the empire.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the vibrant blood vessel of the Ming Empire, maintaining the life of the huge empire.

At this time, among the large number of grain ships, there was an ordinary-looking flat-bottomed river boat, which looked no different from other passenger ships.

However, its interior is not as simple as it looks, not only is the ship particularly strong, but the crew of the ship is also very different: although they are all dressed in the short clothes of ordinary sailors, many of them have been tanned to the skin and the lingering smell of the sea on their bodies, which shows that they are not the people begging for a living on the river, but the dragons who have slipped into the Yangtze River from the sea.

Among them, there are a few short and stout guys, whose expressions and movements are very different from those of the Chinese people, if they had been decades ago, they would have been called Wako.

In the middle cabin of the river boat, Jin Yingji sat on the couch with a golden knife, which was diametrically opposed to the pitiful demeanor in the Tianxiang Pavilion, she was now wearing black embroidered gold satin arrow sleeves, her black hair was coiled in a high bun, a Qibao shark belt was tied around her waist, and she stepped on shark leather boots, and the weak and pitiful temperament on her face was thrown out of the clouds, and there was a bit of a bewitching smile on the corner of her mouth:

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone. Mr. Kameban, why are you back again? ”

Takeo Kameban knelt in front of her, wrapped in a thick bandage on his shoulders, straightened his waist, lowered his head, and pleaded guilty in stiff Chinese: "Subordinate, the assassination failed!" I had to commit suicide to maintain the honor of the samurai, and I asked the young master to designate the mistake! ”

It is said that when the samurai committed suicide and slit open his stomach, a person standing behind him waved a knife and cut off his head for him, which is called Jiejiao.

Hee-hee~ Jin Yingji pursed her lips and smiled, "How is Mao Haifeng?" ”

Kameban Takeo was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Jin Yingji suddenly laughed wildly, and her voice was bewitching: "You people who say that you are yourself, you have to seek death and life at every turn, don't worry, since you have sworn allegiance to my father and daughter, your life is mine, I didn't let you die, you can't die!" ”

"Hello!" Takeo Kameita straightened up on his knees and tilted his head hard.

After being silent for a long time, Takeo Kameban said again: "Why, do you want to make friends with the White Lotus Sect?" They are at sea, and they have no power! ”

"But the Ming Dynasty has power," Jin Yingji looked a little resentful: "My father is the leader of the Ming Dynasty, we want to make a comeback, the Franco, the Franc, the Goryeo are not a problem, only the Ming, if our opponents, the maritime merchants of various countries ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to deal with the Wang Zhiyu Party, what will the Ming do?" Can you resist the imperial court sailor and Qi Jiguang? ”

Takeo Kameita shook his lips, he could only remain silent on the subject.

The power of the Ming Dynasty is too strong, it doesn't react, once it mobilizes with all its might, endless manpower and material resources will be a catastrophe for any challenger.

"Of course it's good that the White Lotus Sect can avenge us, but I'm not just focusing on revenge, wouldn't it be great if they let them attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty for us?"

Jin Yingji giggled, waved his hand and sent Takeo Kameban out: "By the way, the White Lotus Sect, tell them that the holy woman who pretends to be a god and a ghost, don't take us for fools, we want thirty percent of the treasury silver for this winter solution!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~ the courtyard on the right side of the Nanjing Criminal Department, it is not only the place where Liu Yiru, the servant of the Criminal Department, works, but also serves as the office of the Qin Errand for handling cases.

The north wind is tight, although the south of the Yangtze River is warm, the two soldiers guarding the door are also freezing with snot for a long time, basking in the sun there, and gossiping without a match.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, the new Lord Qin, who doesn't ask for a confession, and doesn't have a private interview like the one staged on the stage, can he solve the case? As the saying goes, if you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things well......"

"Fart, Lord Qin's eyes are like lightning, I don't know how many big cases have been solved before, and this one is not worse now. Besides, Lord Qin is benevolent and generous, follow him and make a fortune! It's a pity that we don't have that ability, otherwise we would have to go to his old man's hands if I begged grandpa to tell grandma. ”

As he was talking, Lao Zhang snapped and stood up straight, and shouted with full of anger: "Chief Qin! ”

Qin Lin nodded and said hello, and casually threw a piece of silver that was not light or heavy: "Go buy a thick cotton coat to wear, freeze like this, shame." ”

After taking the silver, the two soldiers were excited, even if they lost face, they would lose the face of the Criminal Department, no matter what happened to Qin Lin! Now people are a few taels of silver, not to mention how much it is worth, even if the chief gives this face, it also makes them grateful in their hearts.

Qin Lin smiled, a few days ago, Huang Gonggong, the deputy envoy of the central official, had already sent a message to Nanjing Jinyiwei and transferred him to assist in the investigation of the White Lotus Sect, so he came over every day to handle the case.

Liu Yiru is still not honest, relying on the fact that he is a good Qincha, and he doesn't even pay attention to Huang Gonggong, the deputy envoy of the central official, and Huo Chonglou, the secretary of the representative of the East Factory, who cares about Qin Lin, who co-organizes the Jinyi deputy thousand households?

Liu Lao'er only thought that Qin Lin wanted to get in and share the credit, but he didn't think about anything else, so he sneered and sneered when they met every day, as if he really had a great merit in his hands, and everyone was staring at him with red eyes and heartbeats - as everyone knows, Qin Lin has read the case file, and he has already laughed so much that he has a toothache:

Liu Yiru arrested the innkeeper and Xiao Er of the White Lotus Sect, the dim sum shop owner who bought dry food from the White Lotus Sect, and other completely unrelated people, and insisted that they were bandits; He also blindly beat them hard, causing the prisoners to climb and bite indiscriminately, and also spread the net of the sky in the name of spreading the sky, negligent but not leaking.

Qin Lin saw that he had to start anew.

The king of Hades said that the little ghost is difficult, he bought almost all the people under Liu Yiru's hands, and now he knows all about Liu Yiru.

Huang Gonggong's signing room, Huang Gonggong and Huo Chonglou were looking at something in surprise and excitement, and when they saw Qin Lin coming in, the two of them approached, and said mysteriously:

"Brother Qin, it's terrible, the treasury silver that Yangzhou went to Beijing to solve, something happened!"
