Qin Lin found something unusual from the confessions of the captured White Lotus Sect, and everyone heard what Elder Tian said to the mysterious sailor leader, but no one could hear what the sailor leader said; When judging the other party's accent, "I went to Yangzhou when I was eight years old" and "I heard the neighbors and husbands arguing in Xiangxi dialect", in fact, the captives invariably chose the most vague and unfamiliar dialect in their memory, and forced the head of the sailor to put it on the head of the sailor.

Obviously, this is the result of Jinyiwei's torture to extract a confession, and under the heavy torture, the prisoner can only eliminate all kinds of familiar dialects in his mind one by one, and finally confess the remaining vague memory and plausible answer, in order to escape the torture temporarily.

The captured White Lotus disciples came from the north and south of the river, and the south was also an important merchant base, and the merchants from the north to Shuomo, south to Lingnan, west to the river, and east to the sea.

Excluding all impossible answers, the last answer left is the truth: the mysterious sailors did not speak Chinese at all, they came from overseas!

Qin Lin got the boat into the dock and drained the water in the lock chamber to expose the bottom of the ship, and the truth was revealed, although all the places in the cabin, deck, mast and so on were carefully disposed of, leaving no traces, but the seaweed, oysters and other vegetations on the bottom of the ship that only grow in the ocean completely exposed its origin, not from some inland river or lake, but sneaked into the Yangtze River from overseas.

That group of mysterious sailors has good sailing skills, the ships they use are excellent, and their appearance is not much different from the Chinese, so they can exclude the South Sea countries and Westerners, then the only possibility left is the Wukou!

At this time, Ningbo City has stopped, and the tributary trade of this has stopped for decades, and Qi Jiguang has pacified the Japanese Kou for more than ten years, and Longqing Kaihai is also opened in Fujian Yuegang, and only the merchants of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian are allowed to carry out foreign trade. I didn't think to go over there when I broke my head, so I made various contradictory confessions under the torture of Jinyiwei.

Qin Lin put these analyses and discernments.

Lei Gongteng nodded while listening, "Although Brother Qin is young, his experience is old and spicy!" I can't admire enough, brother. This time, the elder brother has made another contribution, but the elder brother has already gone up to the sky to listen to the report of the Yanziji case when he broke the Jingwangfu case in Xinzhou, and it is needless to say that Jane will be in the emperor's heart in the future, and this time the credit is not enough to worry about, hahahaha......"

Qin Lin heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, the credit for cracking the Yanziji case is the most important thing This time, although it was found that there were Japanese criminals involved, the follow-up investigation was not a small credit for the half-hung people who could be responsible for Nanjing, so he gave Lei Gongteng, even if he was rewarded for arranging the fat shortage of Gengzisuo!

"What credit?" , Qin Lin blinked, and pretended to be puzzled: "Wasn't the interrogation presided over by Lei Qianhu?" The lower officials just bowed to the right time. ”

Lei Gongteng laughed, patted Qin Lin's shoulder and said in a loud voice: "The elder brother will accept the love of the elder brother this time!" In the future, even if the whole Nanjing Jinyi Wei system brother has any trouble, just come and talk to me! ”

As soon as the words came out, Lei Gongteng felt a little presumptuous again, now that Qin Lin is still his subordinate, what will happen if the Yanziji case is reported to the imperial court and the holy decree will come down? The credit of others is not small!

Besides, the daughter of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion and the eldest lady of the Wei Mansion have a lot to do with him, "If you really become a fast son-in-law of any family, Lao Taishan will be thicker than his waist of a thousand households in brocade!" Liu Shouyou, the biggest leader of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, had only orders for Zhang Juzheng, so that there were two people who guarded the door of the Wei Mansion with the title of Jinyiwei commanding affairs!

Worried in his heart, Lei Gongteng looked at Qin Lin's face and was not abnormal, and then he became happy again.

This case was not investigated by the Jinyi Guards of Nanzhili, because there were no more people inside and outside Jinling City now, and there was no way to investigate it.

During the Ming Dynasty, "the Ming Dynasty "carried out exploration and trade with foreign countries, and countries such as Ben and Goryeo were not allowed to come to do business with the Chinese on their own, but had to obtain a "exploration and cooperation" (import and export license) issued by the imperial court, and came to do business in the name of "tribute", and were received by the city.

In the second year of Jiajing, the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan came to Ningbo to pay tribute with the old and new surveys, but the officials of the Ming City Bosi were only willing to receive one of them, so the two families fought in Ningbo in order to compete for the right to pay tribute, which caused the anger of the imperial court and stopped the exploration trade. ,

Ten years ago, Qi Jiguang pacified the Japanese invaders again, and now let alone Nanjing City, the entire Jiangnan can't see Yue himself, so it is naturally impossible to talk about investigating the case.

During the reign of Longqing, the sea ban was reopened, but it was limited to Yuegang, Fujian, and could only be participated in by merchants and people in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou.

This is not something that Qin Lin can ignore at present, and he has to wait for Yuegang and Ningbo to find clues. was so excited to go to his superiors to return to his life, he hesitated when he was leaving, and then pulled Qin Lin to the side" and said softly: "The elder brother is already Jian in the emperor's heart, and he will rise to the top in the near future, and he and Zhang and Xu are ...... Ahem, let's not talk about this, in short, the elder brother has a great future, and some things in front of him don't seem to need to be too careful, Geng Xiang and Wang Bengu are a party, and the group of mad dogs under the two of them, Yushi will bite ...... people, and if the elder brother is embarrassed, "the routine of handing over thousands of households can also be reduced, and the elder brother can still be the master of this." ”

The right deputy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is the backstage owner of the Drunken Phoenix Building, he and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate Left Imperial History Wang Ben consolidated into a party, and there is a younger brother Geng Dingli who is the right imperial history of Beijing, almost the representative of the Qing rumor, even if the six books have to give him three points, and the lords and nobles can't pee with them in a pot.

Lei Gongteng persuaded Qin Lin to stop, which was really good, lest he provoke the group of gossip officials and mad dog Yushi and make a commotion.

Qin Lin arched his hand with a smile: "Chief Xie advises, and the subordinate officials have their own measure." ”

Alas, in the end, he is young and vigorous, Lei Gongteng sighed, and said in his heart, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Bangrui, the two big Buddhas, if you can really move one out, you can overwhelm Geng and Wang, but ......

Lei Gongteng said goodbye and took the official school to the horse and walked away.

Qin Lin's eyes narrowed, is Geng oriented? It turns out that the so-called Qingliu of the Ming Dynasty is a "righteous person" who has a heavenly reason on his face and destroys people's desires, and behind his back, he uses the housekeeper to open a green building to collect money, ah! Thinking about it, "Qingliu" and "Qinglou" seem to be similar.

Lei Gongteng didn't mention that Qin Lin didn't necessarily remember it, but now he remembered it, and asked Zuifenglou to send the usual silver for the ten days he was given, and counted it with his fingers, it's been eleven days.

*, really don't treat hundreds of households as cadres?

Qin Lin's eyes narrowed, he sneered twice, the tiger's body shook, and suddenly the killing intent was monstrous, and the dragon and tiger Jinling Wangqi were gathered, the greedy wolf, the broken army, and the seven kills were brilliant, and the emperor star of Ziwei Palace was shaking............

"Huh-mother, why does this person keep shaking and shaking?" An innocent and cute child asked his mother.

"Maybe it's a swing, stay away from him." The mother pulled her son away quickly.

Qin Lin almost fell into the river from the dock, and quickly covered his face: I escape!

When night fell that night, the large and small restaurants and tea houses in Jinling City hung up bright corner lamps at the four corners of the cornices, and the painting boats on the Qinhuai River were full of light, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo was like a heavenly sound.

The red lantern of the drunken phoenix tower is still shining, and the sassy ink man and the rich businessman are constantly coming and going, and several turtle slaves are smiling all over their faces.

"Hu Gongzi, please inside, the new Southern Opera team, small mouth and small feet, it's good for the little ones to know you.!" "Hey, didn't you say that there were hundreds of two-pole households who were going to make trouble? He's going to be popular now, don't hit the muzzle. ”

"He is a hundred households in brocade clothes, even if he is lucky and makes a little credit, can he match our Geng Dutang? Don't worry, borrow his leopard guts, and don't dare to come! ”

A few turtle slaves laughed in their mouths, and Qin Baihu blew so hard in his mouth, where did he dare to really come? Geng Dutang can scare him to death with a word!

Before the words were finished, the turtle slave who was nodding his head noticed that the atmosphere had changed, and Hu Gongzi, who was still walking towards it just now, suddenly changed his face and "took a small broken step and slipped away:" Eh, come again next time, it seems to be a little urgent." ”

Hu Gongzi is not anxious to urinate, but afraid of the fish in the pond.

In the distance, a group of brocade-clothed soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, carrying wooden sticks, iron rulers and other things, rushed over under the leadership of Lu Fatzi and Niu Dali, while Qin Lin and Han Feilian stood behind, "Of course, Lu Erling, who was pulled out again to show the public, is indispensable."

"Stop, stop!" , the turtle slave opened his arms and greeted him: "My family is the old man"

You're all big! Qin Lin picked up the stick and smashed him on the head: "You turtle who opened a green building, dare to talk nonsense about Mr. Geng of Dutang, damn it!" After that, he waved his hand at the brothers with a cold face: "Smash it for me!" ”

Thirty or forty wolf-like soldiers swarmed in, beating turtle slaves, big teapots, and bodyguards when they saw them, and putting them aside when they saw prostitutes and prostitutes.

And Qin Lin, Lu Yuanzhi and other official schools with official identities walked around with their hands behind their backs, as if they were complete outsiders, admiring the smashing with great interest.

Geng Fu came forward to take care of the old capital manager of Zuifeng Building, and ran out in a hurry while lifting his pants, with red lip marks on his face: "This is Geng Dutang's industry, can't you ...... it"

"Fart!" Qin Lin slapped an ear scraper on the face of this old man, "Joke, Geng Dutang is a famous Qingliu, how could he open a green building?" Isn't that a "turbidity current?" It's clear that you're swaggering! Lu Fatzi, Niu Dali and the rest of the army all laughed", the turbidity current, the statement is very fresh.

Qin Lin made a look, and the rest of the army immediately dragged this old man to the ground, fists and feet, and made a full house.
