Chapter 587: Doubts Brought by Nepotism

"Inspection?" Ma Ang's tone turned cold, and the voice squeezed out between his teeth blew like a cold wind on Jin Jushu's heart, making him shiver. 【】

"So, do you not believe in this official, the governor of the Japanese Dynasty who was appointed by the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow? It must be known that this official is in charge of the affairs of the two countries, and he was appointed by the champion Hou Ye himself, and he was approved by the Great Tomorrow Son, if you don't believe in this official, that is, you question the credibility of the Hou Ye, and at the same time, it is also a blasphemy against the Great Tomorrow, and the desecration of the Ninety-Five Respect of the Ming Dynasty is to despise the Ming Dynasty......"

"My lord's words are serious, North Korea has always regarded Daming as a parent, how dare you have such a rebellious heart, please be aware of it!" Seeing Ma Ang's big hat buttoned up, getting bigger and bigger, getting higher and higher, Jin Jushu's face turned white with fright, and he cried when he lay on the ground.

Last time, it was just a piece of the ship's plank, and as a result, Hanyang's sailors were completely wiped out, and Ganghwa Island was also robbed, which led to unfortunate things such as borrowing the road. Today's crime, even if the king is stripped naked and thrown into the sea, and then let him swim to Yanjing, I'm afraid it will not be enough to forgive the crime, can he not be afraid?

"Don't dare? Is there anything you don't dare to do? You all dare to collide with the royal fleet of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the seizure of fishing boats and the extortion of fishermen will not be less, hum, what else do you say as parents, Jin Jushu, is this how you are filial to your parents? You must know that to deceive the official is to deceive the Hou Ye, that is, to deceive the king......"

Could it be that there are other people who dare not interrupt and can give full play to the opportunity of eloquence, Ma Ang gave full play to his true surname, and the charges cited by Bo on the side one after another frightened Jin Jushu to sift through the chaff, and the sweat falling from his forehead even formed a small puddle on the ground.

"My lord, my lord, the villain knows that he is wrong, and the villain is willing to make amends, and there will be gifts afterwards." Fortunately, it was not the first time he had dealt with the Governor's Palace, and he knew what the other party's weaknesses were, so he did not hesitate to use a killer move.

"Oh? In this case, it depends on your sincerity, and if the sincerity is enough, the official will not be unable to forgive you. Maang said with a deep face.

"Adults rest assured, villains are sincere, very sincere, full of real gold, living and fragrant......" Jin Juanshu's words seem incoherent, but they are actually hinting, not only mentioning the type of gift, but also ensuring the quality.

"Okay, this official will replace the emperor and the marquis, and forgive you magnanimously, but if you find out that your sincerity is not enough afterwards, then don't blame this official for two crimes and punishment." Maang waved his hand generously, uncovered the matter, and turned back to the topic: "Then, you want to buy a boat, right?" What about money? ”

"The money is brought, but it's ......" Jin Jushu's face was about to squeeze out bitter water, even without Wang Jianzhi's instructions, he was suspicious of the plague god's sudden sale of the warship, even if he saw the ships purchased by Min Yizheng and other Nanbang with his own eyes, when did the plague god become so easy to speak?

Therefore, he and Wang Jianzhi had similar thoughts, and they both suspected that there was fraud in it, and among the few people sent by Wang Jianzhi, two were very clever shipwrights, and the others were also quite familiar with sea ships, mainly to inspect the goods.

The payment for the goods is 500,000 taels of gold, such a large amount, even the rich Jiangnan scholars in the world, when they take it out, they are very painful, how can they throw it out casually?

But as soon as the inspection is mentioned, Governor Ma will deduct a bunch of charges like a surging river, but he can't win, and Jin Verdict really can't afford to hurt it, so he is in a dilemma.

"Or do you want to inspect the goods?" Maang's tone was a little loose.

"Lord Governor, the villain also has the strict orders of His Royal Highness the King, and he does what he is ordered, and he can't help himself." When the golden judgment saw the pole, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, you also know that North Korea has always been barren, and this 500,000 taels of gold has been taken out with the strength of the country, if it can't be tested, then the villain can't make the decision, so he can only return to Hanyang to ask the king, you see......"

"Hmm." He went around in circles, in fact, he just wanted to say: If you can't inspect the goods, you won't buy them, which is a threat, but it is tactful enough, Ma Ang is not angry, just pinching his chin and groaning.

Jin Jushu looked at Ma Ang fixedly, for fear that the other party would suddenly burst out or something, and he didn't notice the few people behind him, and the few Jiangnan people glanced at each other, but nodded imperceptibly, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"In that case......" It took a long time for Maang to speak again, his expression a little serious, as if he wanted to refuse.

"Lord Governor, if you allow the ship to be surveyed, the villain will show more sincerity ......" Jin Jushu didn't want to let go of this opportunity, he had already put a lot of energy into it, not only on his own future, but also on the future of the entire faction of the North Stick.

If it succeeds, then the Jiangnan scholars will regain power, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the south stick is just a floating cloud, and the take-off of the north stick is just around the corner.

But if they fail, in the face of Nanbang's counterattack and the pressure of Liaodong, what will they do to stop them? If you give up halfway, it is actually similar to failure, at most, it is the absence of the great enemy of the plague god, and the future of North Korea is still bleak.

"That's ......" Ma Ang's tone was a little erratic, and his gaze became uncertain, obviously a little tempted, and at the same time a little scrupled.

"You're going to test it alone?" After some hesitation, Maang finally spoke.

"There are also a few entourages sent by the king, that is, they ......" Jin Jushu also learned to pull the tiger skin, although the backstage he pulled out was not very powerful, but, yes, it was better than nothing.

"Five people at most, no more." Ma Ang stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and said viciously: "And this official said ugly things in front, if the ship is fine, but you change the hexagram, don't blame this official for being polite!" After all, no one can guarantee that you are not here to steal technology. ”

"My lord, what are you talking about, we North Koreans are all real people, where would we do such an unsophisticated thing...... What's more, even if the villain eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, North Korea doesn't have such a powerful craftsman, what kind of magic skill is Hou Ye, how can he be seen through it at a casual glance? ”

Sure enough, after Jin Jushu showed his eloquence as a judge, he actually saw a smile on Ma Ang's face, and he made up his mind and secretly let out a long breath.

"Well, then it's decided, come on, take them to see the ship." Maang was finally refreshed.

Out of the Governor's Mansion, the person who led the entourage immediately approached the side of the Jin Judgment without a trace, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Jin, has this Governor Ma always been like this?" ”

Mr. Wang was referring to ...... "Jin's judgment is a little inaccurate.

"It's just easy to buy, and I like to mess around and stuff." Mr. Wang briefly summarized the characteristics of Maang.

"Well, unlike that ruthless and vicious Xie Hong, this person has always been a dead man who wants money, as long as there is silver and beautiful women to offer, ordinary small troubles can be easily smoothed out." Jin Jushu gritted his teeth, full of blood and tears.

Which of these two people is easy to deal with, he can't say, the former is a difficult one is Mount Tai to the top, the latter is a blunt knife to cut the flesh, although once or twice is not very painful, but no one can stand his long toss.

"Well, it looks like there's a door." Mr. Wang nodded, and the confidence in his tone was a little more confident.

"What do you mean by that?" Jin Jushu was very surprised, you must know that whether it was Wang Jianzhi or the people he sent before, they all reported the consciousness that 500,000 taels of gold might be wasted, how could they meet a nonsense and have a door?

"This Maang, hehe......" Mr. Wang sneered.

A small person like Ma Ang was originally completely unnoticed, and the attention of the scholars was mainly focused on the two monarchs and ministers, and occasionally they looked around, and Jiang Bin, Wang Shouren, and Tang Bohu were more conspicuous and worthy of their precautions.

However, because of the disappearance of the earl of Liaodong, and then the subsequent Governor's Mansion of the Japanese Dynasty, Xie Hong's brother-in-law naturally attracted attention. No one thought he was very talented, the scholars just thought that these two were indeed relatives, and in terms of shamelessness, they were definitely not equal.

The person who is obviously missing, and then he still has the title of Earl of Zhendong, but suddenly he became Earl of Donghai, when everyone is blind?

In the Zhang Yongshi counter-plot incident, the scholars also investigated Ma Ling'er, the brother and sister are both natives of Xuanfu, and the information is easy to obtain, so they also have a full understanding of Ma Ang, and they believe that the other party is a person who can only talk, but has no real skills.

The use of such a person to take charge of the East China Sea is obviously due to the fact that there is no one under Xie Hong, and if the sale of the ship is not fraudulent, it is likely to be Ma Ang's private action.

Abuse of private individuals is a fatal wound in any group, and the soldiers, who have thousands of years of experience in various struggles, are of course not ignorant, and they feel that this is also the case, based on the information and observations from the field.

"Mr. Wang really deserves to be a great Confucian disciple, his insight is indeed extraordinary, Jin admires it, no wonder Na Maang is so arrogant and vulgar, people from scoundrel and untouchable backgrounds are like this." Jin Jushu suddenly realized and echoed in a loud voice.

"Things haven't been decided yet." Mr. Wang shook his head, his expression was still solemn: "Now what I see is only the appearance, and it's really hard to say whether there is a plan inside, everything has to wait for the ship to be inspected before the conclusion is conclusive." ”

"That's up to a few." Jin Jushu said solemnly.

The dock was not far from the Governor's Palace, and the sergeant who led the way pointed to a ship docked on the dock, and said with a grin: "Here it is." ”

"Thank you for the military master's guidance, hard work, a little thing, not a tribute, the military master took it to buy a pot of wine to drink."

The boat and the dock are connected by a pedal, although the sergeant pointed out the goal, but blocked in front of the pedal, Jin Jushu immediately understood, took out a money bag from his sleeve, and handed it over with a smile, but his heart was really a little painful, this is fifty taels! There are governors, there are soldiers, and those who die for money will one day want you to spit it out with interest.

"Well, let's go up." The sergeant flipped the money bag and found that it was full of weight, so he smiled and waved his hand, and at the end he did not forget to instruct: "Don't walk around, especially don't go to the rear cabin, there are people guarding it." ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Jin Jushu looked back and smiled, but when he turned around, his face was covered with a layer of frost. He had seen this ship more than once or twice, and although he didn't understand the ship, he knew that the secrets were in the back cabin, and it was so deceitful that he spent so much money and didn't let him see it.

"It's okay, masters, please take a look at this ship." Mr. Wang didn't care about this, but just motioned for his companion to investigate.

Although the scholars don't want to admit it, but in fact, Xie Hong has also had a great impact on them, although Mr. Wang has not yet become a scholar, but he is also a scholar, if in the past, to a few craftsmen, sailors, even if it is a so-called famous craftsman, he will definitely not be so polite, commanding is the norm.

"Yes." Several people dispersed, two craftsmen focused on checking the materials and construction, and the other two used their years of sailing experience to observe the details to see if there were any signs of counterfeiting.

"There shouldn't be any problems, there's nothing unusual ...... anywhere on the ship"

Among the group, Mr. Wang was the main one, but he mainly judged the situation, and the inspection of the ship was mainly the work of two craftsmen, and the sailors were ready to sail back to Jiangnan after buying the ship, so the two sailors completed the inspection work relatively early, and Mr. Wang didn't care too much, he just stared at the two shipwrights.

It took a long time for the two shipwrights to complete the inspection, and when they reported the situation to Mr. Wang, the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

"How?" Mr. Wang didn't have time to pay attention to so much, and asked eagerly.

"It is indeed a modified car and ship, although the pivot of the rear cabin is not visible, it can be seen from the wheel pulp alone, and the shape of this ship, the reason why it can be in an abnormally high-speed situation is not unrelated to this shape......

"I'm just asking you if there's anything unusual about what you do with these irrelevant things? Will they do it in the aft cabin? Mr. Wang's voice interrupted the admiration of the two shipwrights.

"Probably not, because ......" one of the shipwrights was about to analyze, but was stopped by his companion, "Lord Wang, this ship is indeed abnormal......"

"Is there a conspiracy?"

"I don't know if it's a conspiracy or not, but this ship won't be useful for long." The boatsmith shook his head, and then came to his conclusion with some confusion.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? I thought I was close to the truth, but the shipwright's words surprised Mr. Wang.

"Generally speaking, the timber used in a shipbuilding must be dried for several years, otherwise the ship will not be durable......

The boatman explained two sentences, then pointed to his feet, and said, "But this ship is made of fresh wood, although you can't go to the cabin to look at it carefully, but if you look closely, you can see it in the outside, and in some places the planks have been slightly deformed, and such a good ship is made of this material, alas, it's a pity." ”

"If it's really a conspiracy, the plague god is really vicious." Jin Jushu was furious and scolded hatefully.

"How long will this ship last, and will it be able to sail back to Ningbo?" Hearing such bad news, Mr. Wang asked calmly and unhurriedly.

"That should be no problem, in my opinion, this ship can be used for at least a few months, Lao Zhao, what do you say?"

"Brother Zhou is right."

Seeing that the two shipwrights had agreed on their opinions, Mr. Wang's face suddenly flashed with a hint of triumph, he smiled leisurely, and ordered: "Lord Jin, wait a minute, you will go back to the Governor of Ma, and tell him that the gold will arrive immediately, and he will be ready to trade." ”

"Huh?" Jin Jushu was taken aback, it was obviously an inferior product, why did he still buy it? Can't you burn the money?
