Chapter 169: The Treasury Silver Is Robbed
Thousands of miles of Yangtze River Haohao soup, from Jinling down to Zhenjiang, it will arrive at a major hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, "the number of ships has increased sharply, and thousands of sails are racing on the river, and hundreds of boats are competing 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, through which Shu brocade, Ningxi, and Jingdezhen porcelain all have to be transported to Hangzhou Bay or Ningbō to the sea, 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 sturdy, but the crew of the cào ship is also very different: although they are all dressed in the short clothes of ordinary sailors, many of them have been tanned with bronze skin and the lingering smell of the sea on their bodies, which shows that they are not ordinary people begging for a living on the river, but 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" and Tianxiang Pavilion's pitiful demeanor, she is now wearing black sè embroidered gold satin arrow sleeves "full of black hair with a high bun, a Qibao shark belt around her waist, and shark leather boots" The weak and pitiful temperament on her face was thrown out of the clouds, and there was a somewhat bewitching smile on the corner of her mouth: "The wind is Xiao Xiao Xi is easy to be cold" The strong man is gone forever. Mr. Kameban: "Why are you back again?" ”
Takeo Kameban knelt in front of her, with a thick bandage on his shoulder, his waist was lowered, his head was lowered, and he pleaded guilty in stiff Chinese: "Subordinate, the assassination failed!" I had to commit suicide by seppuku to maintain the honor of the samurai, "Please designate the young master to make mistakes!" ”
When the samurai committed suicide and slit his stomach open, a person standing behind him waved a knife and cut off his head, which is called Jiejiao.
Hee hee Jin Sakura Ji pursed her lips and smiled, "How is Máo Haifeng?" ”
Kameban Takeo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
Jin Yingji suddenly laughed wildly, "The voice was bewitching: "You [day] myself, you have to seek death and life at every turn, "Don't worry, since you swear allegiance to my father, 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 marry the White Lotus Sect?" They are at sea, and they have no power! ”
"But the Ming Dynasty has power", Jin Yingji Shen Sè was quite resentful: "My father is the leader of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Palace" We want to make a comeback" "The Buddha Robot People, the Japanese themselves, and the Korean people are not a problem" Only the Ming Dynasty, if our opponents, the maritime merchants of various countries ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to deal with the Wang Zhiyu Party's Imperial Invaders, what will the Ming do? Can you resist the imperial court sailor and Ding Jiguang? ”
Takeo Kameita shook his mouth, "He can only remain silent on this issue.
The power of the Ming Dynasty is too strong, "it didn't react, but it didn't react", once it mobilized with all its might, endless manpower and material resources would be a catastrophe for any challenger.
"Of course it's good that the White Lotus Sect can avenge us" But I don't just focus 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 saint nv who pretends to be a god nòng ghost, don't treat us for fools, this time the treasury silver of the winter solution "We want thirty percent!" ”
The courtyard on the right side of the Nanjing Criminal Department is not only the office of Liu Yiru of the Criminal Department, but also serves as the office of the Qin Errand for handling cases.
The north wind was tight, and although it was warm in the south of the Yangtze River, the two soldiers guarding Mén were also freezing with snot and snot, basking in the sun there.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, the new Lord Qin, who doesn't ask for a confession on the board, and is not as micro-obedient as the one staged on the stage, can he solve the case? As the saying goes, if you don't talk about it, 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 it is not bad for this one. 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 hand to ask grandpa to sue him. ”,
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 couldn't move, 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 feel jī in their hearts.
Qin Lin smiled, a few days ago, Gonggong Huang, 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 come 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 when they met every day, "It seems that he really has a great merit in his hands, and everyone is staring at him with red eyes and heartbeats, but he doesn't know that Qin Lin has read the case file, and he has already laughed so much that he has a toothache: Liu Yiru arrested the innkeeper of the White Lotus Sect, the owner of the dim sum shop where the White Lotus Sect bought dry food, and other completely unrelated people, and insisted that they were bandits: and blindly beat the prisoner Hu Luàn to bite him, and he also called it Guangqi Tianwang, Negligence but not leakage.
Qin Lin saw that he had to start anew.
The king of Hades said that the ghosts were difficult, and he bought almost all the people under Liu Yiru's hands, and now he knows all about Liu Yiru.
Huang Gonggong's signing room as the deputy envoy of the lieutenant "Huang Gonggong and Huo Chonglou were looking at something in surprise and excitement, and saw Qin Lin coming in" The two people approached, and said mysteriously: "Brother Qin, it's terrible, the treasury silver from Yangzhou to Beijing is in trouble!" ”
