The White Lotus cultists who had been ambushed in advance in the north and south of the river were deceived by false instructions and rushed to Taixing, and Li Qiu, Huang Gonggong, Huo Chonglou and others dispatched troops to round up and arrest them, interrogated the captured White Lotus cultists and dug deep and carefully investigated, and reported all kinds of situations to the imperial court.

Chen Wangmo is completely downfall, although the court discussion to deal with such a serious case is not something that can be made overnight, Yangzhou and the Beijing division of the document exchange also has a process, the official edict of the imperial court has not yet come down, he has been very interested in the official seal trust to the Caoyun Governor Li Qiu to take custody, he himself according to the criminal official system to close the mén out, waiting for the court to investigate.

Qincha, who was still staying in Nanjing, made Liu Yiru learn the news, and Baba rushed to Yangzhou, but the first news he heard after getting off the sedan chair almost made him faint with anger: Li Qiu, the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Caoyun, and Huang Gonggong, the deputy envoy of the lieutenant official, used the excuse that the situation was urgent at that time and it was too late to inform Nanjing.

It is conceivable that when the Jingshi Imperial Court saw that the name of Liu Yiru, the envoy of the Qincha, was missing from this concert, Emperor Xiǎo and Zhang Xiangye must ask: "Liu is a genuine Qincha, why is there no name on the chapter that handled the theft of Caoyin?" ”

Feng Baotieding, the eunuch of Dongchang, who had never dealt with Liu Yiru, replied: "Liu Qincha has been staying in Nanjing and has not moved his nest, and the case was handled by Huang Gonggong, the deputy envoy of our lieutenant official, Huo Sifang of Dongchang and Qin Lin of Jinyiwei. "Come on, I'll live in Nanjing for the rest of my life, don't think about going back to the center of Beijing!

Liu Yiru slapped his thigh, so angry that he couldn't even speak, but who told him not to come to Yangzhou when the case was committed? I had no choice but to hurry up and take the time to play the Taoist chapter, and the twists and turns of blowing my own command and proper use of people, although I did not personally handle the case, but the whole situation is under control, and I am currently pacifying the place and handling the aftermath.

, this nonsense can't even deceive yourself! Liu Yiru had no choice but to be a dead horse doctor, send the chapter, and pretend to be loyal all day long, but in fact, he didn't do any bullshit.

People from all walks of life revolved around this case, and some people immediately wanted to go up to heaven, Jane was in the emperor's heart, and some saw that it was bad, waiting for the dismissal of the apricot office, or sitting on the cold bench.

However, Qin Lin, who was giving orders in a majestic manner a while ago, was idle, and according to his words, "Interrogating grassroots disciples is such a thing without the slightest bit of technical discretion, just let Lao Huang and Lao Huo do it, I'd better rest more!" ”

Look at this guy's cowhide coaxing, he is below Li Qiu, what Yangzhou prefect, Jinyi Weiqiu Baihu and other big xiǎo officials come to ask for his opinion if they make a little progress, ask for instructions early and report later, not to mention how modest they are - they all feel that Chen Wangmo's downfall has a lot to do with this master, don't look at people who are just a deputy cadre of Jinyi Wei, even the chief military officer of Pingjiang Bo Caoyun can be defeated, and he is even equal to the son of Jiangling Xiangfu, who dares to look at him?

At first, Qin Lin saw him, but then he was overwhelmed, and when these officials came again, they said with a straight face, "My family official went out to meet guests." ”

What kind of guest will this guy be?

The great xiǎo general merchant of the Cao Gang!

Tian Zongjia and the following Cao businessmen regard Qin Lin as a reborn parent, if Qin Lin hadn't recovered Cao Yin, Chen Wangmo would have killed them a long time ago.

If you live for a lifetime, you have to tell a story of kindness, and besides, I heard that this lord has the means to reach the sky, and has a deep relationship with the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Pingshan Hall in the Daming Temple in the northwest suburbs of Yangzhou is a famous garden built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Cao Gang feasted Qin Lin here.

The ancient vines in front of the hall are intertwined, and the plaque of the three big characters of "Pingshan Hall" hangs high above the open hall of the hall style. The hall is an open hall with five rooms. In front of the hall there is a stone platform called the Xingchūn platform. The front of the stage is trapped by the railing, and the railing is a deep pool, and the bamboo poles in the pond are dried and yellow in winter.

Leaning on the railing to overlook, "the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, before the arch threshold, if you can climb it", fluttering on the imminent eye seems to be flat with the hall, the name of Pingshan Hall is here, it seems to be the famous sentence of the poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty "outside the river flow heaven and earth, the mountains are in nothing" into a picture, showing in front of people's eyes.

There is a large round table of golden silk nanmu in the hall, the table of the lion fairy fighting sugar, the food is extremely jīng beautiful, the wine is the Qionghua dew brewed by the spring water of Daming Temple, and the thirty years of aging are like amber. ,

Seven or eight waiters are all delicate and lovely southern beauties, with light makeup but a natural charm, one by one wearing flowers and butterflies, holding a golden pot to pour wine for the guests.

Qin Lin sat in the chief, with a group of wealthy businessmen and magnates led by Tian Qiye of the Cao Gang on the left, and a local gentry led by Gui Muguang, the prefect of Yangzhou, on the right.

Everyone was wrong, and the atmosphere at the banquet had been three or four points at this time, I don't know if it was really drunk or drunk, Tian Qiye's face had swelled into a dark red, and he raised his glass and said:

"General Qin is not only the reborn parents of my Tian, but the 100,000 people in the Cao Gang are also grateful to Dade, Tian doesn't know how to be hypocritical, anyway, in the future, Chief Qin will say a word, the surname Tian and these brothers under his hands, the water comes and goes, which goods without a crotch dare to frown?"

Tian Qiye was originally a big man who had been in the top position for a long time and had businessmen and officials, but this time

Involved in the struggle between the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect, he reluctantly discovered that in fact, people even swallowed themselves with their belts, and they were only appetizing dim sum!

If it weren't for Qin Lin's efforts to protect and recover Cao Yin, the Cao Gong would have been really instigated by the White Lotus Sect to rebel, and the end of his head would have been Ling Chi's execution. Full of mén plagiarism!

"Mr. Tian is overrated," Qin Lin raised his glass and took a shallow sip of the wine glass.

Tian Qiye drank all the wine in the cup with a red face, in his opinion, Qin Lin, a big man who is simply in the emperor's heart, is willing to raise a glass and touch his lips to give Tianda face.

"A little bit of thin etiquette is not a look, it's just the intention of Tian and his friends, General Qin should not refuse!" Tian Qiye spoke, lowered his head, and was very embarrassed to give out a "thin gift", a sandalwood box. Is this a blatant bribery? Qin Lin took it with a smile, as far as he knew, there were basically no officials who were really dismissed because of economic problems in this era, and the Qingliu civil officials who were born in Jinshi were all Bing Jing and Tan Jing who openly accepted mén students, and they did not shy away from taboos in the officialdom.

The sandalwood box is not big, and all the officials below the Yangzhou prefect Gui Muguang are quite greedy, knowing that the gift given by the Cao Gang this time is by no means a xiǎo number.

Unlike other guests, Qin Lin opened the gift on the spot, and when he opened the lid, he saw a stack of tickets paid at the Nanjing Wanyuan Commerce Bank Shop, all of which were 1,000 taels of denominations, and the thickness of the pinch knew that it was around 100 pieces, so it was 100,000 taels of silver.

Hiss - the hearts of the officials present are pounding, 100,000 taels of silver, the balance of the Ming Dynasty treasury for a month and a half, if the donors buy the book from the Cabinet of the Seventh Grade, they can buy sixty or seventy in one go! However, it is also appropriate for the Cao Gang to make such a big move, if it weren't for Qin Lin, they would have to pay 500,000 Cao Yin, and it is very likely that they will be labeled as colluding with the White Lotus Sect.

Qin Lin slapped the silver ticket with a smile, and deliberately said half-jokingly and half-seriously with the officials led by Gui Muguang: "Didn't Tian Qiye embarrass this official?" If you accept it, all the adults will participate in it, and the lower officials are afraid of the old system of Grandpa Taizu's peeling of the skin and grass; If you don't accept it, I am a little reluctant in my heart after all. ”

The Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period and the Ming Dynasty of Hong Wuye are almost two dynasties, where is there still a saying about peeling the skin and grass? All the civil officials thought that Qin Lin was joking, and some people secretly muttered that this person was very good at solving cases, but he was a bāng mallet in terms of human feelings, and he never looked up the gifts in front of the giver.

The prefect of Yangzhou alone returned to Muguang as a well-behaved person, and when he heard the taste of Qin Lin's words, he immediately turned his face and said with a straight face:

"General Qin fought hard for the king's affairs and defeated the enemy, this time to quell the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect demon bandits, it is no different from a bloody battle on the battlefield, not only the Cao Gang is grateful, but the people of Jiangnan are also exempted from the catastrophe, and the lower officials have to thank General Qin for the people under their rule, who dares to participate? Moreover, Xia Guan is also a good friend of Tian Zongjia, I saw him suffering a few days ago but couldn't rescue him, so I regret it......"

Tian Qiye snorted in his heart, and secretly said that it is okay if you don't fall into the well in front of Chen Wangmo, what rescue can't be done, what the hell!

The officials in Yangzhou were immediately awakened by Gui Muguang, and immediately said that the 100,000 Cao workers also regarded General Qin as a Buddha of ten thousand families, and this idea of silver tickets was given to the people and the captains of Jinyi, not privately, what could not be received?

Some people even said that if Qin Lin resigned again, he would have failed the hearts of the Cao Gang, and if the Cao workers were resentful, the aftermath of the White Lotus Sect's instigation of the rebellion would not be settled, and maybe there would be branches.

Therefore, for the sake of the welfare of the people in the south of the Yangtze River and the Jiangshan Society of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Lin had to accept this silver. ,

A white-haired old magistrate even took out a dead admonition, and Zi said that Shiyun came out, saying that if Qin Lin didn't accept this money, it would simply be difficult to get along with the sages of the past dynasties.

"Since this is the case, the official will be disrespectful", Qin Lin smiled and handed the silver ticket to the waiting fat man Lu and told him to take it.

Lu Yuanzhi couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at this scene, and said in his heart that Brother Qin was not an official in Yangzhou, and he didn't care about this group of local officials, so why bother to pinch them in his words? Let's go back to Nanjing and take care of the of this group of officials in Yangzhou?

is the paragraph just now, quite like Zhao Gao on the stage pointing to the deer as a horse.

As everyone knows, Qin Lin has his own plans, and he has to do a career in Yangzhou!

The Cao Gang also prepared gifts for the local officials, and Tian Zongjia didn't understand why Qin Lin wanted to hold these officials down, but since it was made public, he simply asked the servants to take out the gifts for the adults and distribute them.

The magistrates of Yangzhou smiled one by one, although the amount of gifts compared to Qin Lin was too light, but which one dared to go to compare with this big Buddha? The theft of Caoyin, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, the magistrate will be unlucky, and now he is not only innocent, but also has a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, and finally has the silver to take, isn't it all thanks to Qin Lin?

The sound of sycophants broke out again, the officials from the literati were very elegant, and the quotations were vague, but Qin Lin didn't understand it very well, and only used chopsticks to pick up vegetables to eat.

In the end, Gui Muguang saw a few clues, and said a lot more popularly: "Qin General Jian is in the emperor's heart, and it goes without saying that he will rise to the top in the future, and the reason why today's Xiaguan and Tian Zongjia chose to set up a banquet in Pingshan Hall is because Ouyang Wenzhong Duke (Ouyang Xiu) of the Song Dynasty likes this place the most, and often lingers here, and later Mr. Ouyang's official residence is the Song Dynasty, and the whole thing is complete, and the court is Wenzhong, which is really a perfect generation, let's set up a banquet in Pingshan Hall today, and I also wish General Qin to be the second Ouyang Wenzhong,

In the future, brocade clothes will be the country, the official residence will be a product, and the world will be dominated! ”

This time, Qin Lin drank all the wine in the cup with a smile, but this guy who laughed was embarrassed, stared at and cold, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't quite fit the character of Wenzhong. "That's right," Tian Qiye suddenly left the table, bowed respectfully and said: "Xiǎo people and all the general merchants in the gang are grateful to General Qin, if it weren't for General Qin, Xiǎo's family would have been ruined, plus Cao Gong and his family also regard General Qin as a Buddha of ten thousand families, so they will build a shrine next to the Twenty-four Bridges, I wish you Gaohou Wandai!" I didn't dare to speak clearly to General Qin in advance, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

Qin Lin touched his brain, and said in his heart, could it be that I have the potential to be a god stick? Why did you set up a shrine in Qizhou and an ancestral hall in Yangzhou?

Thinking of the famous brother in the Ming Dynasty who liked to build a shrine for himself, Qin Lin suddenly felt a chill: Nine thousand years old, nine thousand years old, eunuch party, eunuch party! He smiled and asked, "Isn't it a lot of money?" ”

Tian Qiye said: "No matter how much it costs, it's just a little gratitude from the people of xiǎo." ”

Qin Lin was slightly drunk and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, worshipping this official is more spiritual than worshipping the God of Wealth, and you will be able to earn it back soon, hahahaha......"

Tian Qiye smiled brightly on his face, but he wondered in his heart, General Qin is a captain in brocade, I heard that he has a pencil business, but that thing doesn't have much profit, saying that it is a bit to let 100,000 Cao Gong and a number of general merchants make a fortune?

The officials in Yangzhou did not go to participate in Qin Lin, only those who have been caught in the brain will make this stupidity, and there are not too many people who can be officials of the imperial court. But someone did play him.

When Wang Shiqi rushed from Nanjing to Yangzhou to report the news, Qin Lin was still in a hangover, and two Yahuan came to call him, and he was called Xuanxuan by his left mouth, and hummed Qingdai on the right.

Hearing that Wang Shiqi was visiting, Qin Lin was a little surprised, this person was originally one of the four sons of Jinling, and his father Wang Shizhen was Ying Tianfu Yin and the leader of the literary world, he and Liu Huzhi, Gao Panlong, and Gu Xiancheng were mixed together with several waste materials, and there was still a conflict with Qin Lin before, but later it seemed that Wang Shiqi was a little alienated from those three, and he was not like Liu Huzhi and Qin Lin.

What did he come to Yangzhou for?

Qin Lin drank a cup of sobering tea and walked to the outside hall, Wang Shiqi said a few words, and then looked around: "I have confidential things to tell General Qin." I didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, so Qin Lin also introduced Wang Shiqi into the study.

Wang Shiqi opened the mountain and said: "General Qin, you have been sued!" ”

"Sue? Who would dare to sue me? Don't want to live anymore? "Qin Lin wanted to kick Wang Shiqi out when he was on the ground. ,

Wang Shiqi hurriedly said: "General Qin, please look at this recital, you will know that Brother Xiǎo has not lied. ”

Qin Lin took the chapter and flipped it over, and immediately brought his brows together-the person who wrote the chapter was none other than Wang Bengu, the left capital of the Kyoto Inspectorate!

Two days ago, the Jinyi guard system came to the news that Wang Bengu withdrew the Nanjing Jing guards and horses who protected him, and transferred the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to act as the guards, Qin Lin didn't care when he received this news, after all, he had fully grasped the evidence of Wang Bengu's crime, and this guy was a toothless tiger at all, and he could only scare people, but he had no ability.

It can even be said that just waiting for Zhang Juzheng to move in Beijing, there must be a holy decree to deal with this person, and dare to collude with the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain of Japan, who has been true to the Japanese for generations, and kill Wang Zhi, a maritime merchant who is willing to contribute to the extermination of the true Japanese for the Ming Dynasty, whether he knows the true identity of Shimazu or not, whether he is deceived or knowingly committed it, causing the sacrifice of 100,000 soldiers and civilians along the coast for ten years, such a serious crime must be punished canonically!

So Qin Lin didn't pay attention to him in a hurry, just waiting for the imperial court to come down and clean up this guy, but who would have thought that he would actually participate in Qin Lin?

Wang Bengu is a guy who hides very deeply, and most people think he is a Qing official, but they don't know that the Yellow River and Xingtai have encountered big floods in the Wanli years, and the vicinity of Shunde, the capital city, has become a Ze country, but the disaster of the Yellow River is more serious.

When Wang Bengu found out, he was afraid that the flood would flood his own farmland, so he immediately wrote to Emperor Wanli, suggesting that the people be mobilized to deal with it quickly. The emperor mistakenly regarded the word "yellow water" in Wang Bengu's compromise as the Yellow River, and immediately instructed the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to raise funds and organize personnel to control the water.

As a result, the flood in Wang Bengu's hometown was controlled, but the real flood of the Yellow River was not treated, and the victims were everywhere and suffering everywhere...... Unexpectedly, Shilin actually regarded the Xiǎo section of the river that Xingtai had been governed, that is, the section that Wang Bengu repaired for his own family property, as his merit in controlling the water!

How unreasonable!

This time, Wang Bengu jumped out again, he accused Qin Lin of colluding with Wang Zhiyu's party and the Japanese invaders, Cao Yin was simply stolen by the Japanese invaders, Qin Lin would only help them speak after being bribed by the Japanese invaders, as for the things such as appeasing Jin Yingji and opening the sea for trade, they were all nonsense, and only the Han Jiān who took bribes and betrayed the country was willing to do this......

After Qin Lin saw it, he was so angry that he threw the piece to the ground, and said in his heart, this guy is too penny to kill people, and it spreads, and the masses who don't know the truth still don't say that I, Qin, am a Han jiān, and Wang Bengu is a hardcore Qing official who asks for the people's life? However, how did this piece get into Wang Shiqi's hands, and why did he come to report it? (To be continued.)
