After a while, several personal soldiers brought Heimi up, Heimi had just arrived in Jiangning Mansion from Weiyang County, and heard that Wujin had gone to the Meihuawei military camp, but saw Wujin's personal guards on the way.

"Your Highness, I have an urgent letter from the island owner to you!"

Heimi handed a tube of pigeon letters with a red shell to Wu Jin, which indicated that it was extremely urgent, and the words 'Huangfu Wu Jin' were engraved on the shell.

"Who is this person?" Zhang Yannian has never seen black rice.

Wu Jin took the pigeon letter and whispered to him: "This person is the intelligence director of the Phoenix Society in Chuzhou. ”

Zhang Yannian nodded, his eyes also fell on the letter in Wu Jin's hand, Wu Jin had already finished reading the letter and handed the letter to Zhang Yannian, he sighed in a low voice, "Sure enough, as I expected." ”

After reading the letter, Zhang Yannian was taken aback, how could it be, the Chen family was infighting, Chen Qi fled from Ryukyu Island, and he already knew the secret of the Jin'an Society.

Zhang Yannian suddenly panicked a little, if Jin An would leak the secret, the situation would be extremely serious, the king of Lanling County, his father and grandfather, Jiang Yan, etc., all of them would be arrested.

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

"The only priority at the moment is to notify all the people in the capital to transfer, and I will arrange this matter."

Wu Jin immediately asked Heimi, "Do you have a portrait of Chen Qi?" ”

"Yes!"

Heimi was prepared, he immediately took out a scroll of paintings and handed it to Wu Jin, "Chen Qi has a small sarcoma on the left wing of his nose, which is easy to identify, and he also has an identity, he is the chief dart master of the Yongjia County Huwei Dart Bureau. ”

Wu Jin opened the painting and looked at it, and Li Leng snorted: "I will send it to all the officials in Chuzhou to arrest this person, the leader of the Phoenix Society, and offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, I will mobilize all forces, as long as he goes ashore, he will not escape my capture." ”

．．．．．．． The situation is quite grim, on the first day of Wu Jin's return, one after another nervous news followed, Emperor Xuande of Daning began to attack him, and Chen Qi, the grandson of the Chen family who knew the inside story of the Jin'an Society, defected to the Phoenix Society, and his whereabouts were unknown, which brought a serious threat to the Jin'an Society, which had been hidden for forty years.

In response to these crises, Wu Jin mobilized almost all resources, he sent Chen Qi's portrait to all the counties and counties of Chuzhou, arrested Chen Qi, and monitored every move in Chuzhou through various channels such as the Phoenix Society, Meihuawei, Qi Ruifu, the Water Military Mansion, and the military governments in various places.

He had already laid a net in Chuzhou, and the dangerous information was also transmitted to the capital at the same time.

But it is not easy to deal with Huangfu Xuande, Chen Zhi is only the vanguard, next, it will be Huangfu Xuande's brigade of military horses into Chuzhou, and the capture of Chen Qi is different, there is only one way to deal with Huangfu Xuande, that is, to directly confront the army, either Huangfu Xuande is forced to admit the independence of the Liang Dynasty, or a civil war begins.

For Wu Jin, preparing for war was his top priority, and this time it was not to prepare for the Phoenix Society, but to prepare for the imperial army that would come in a few months.

At night, Wu Jin stared at the western sky, thick smoke billowed in the sky, this was a raging fire somewhere in Jiangning Mansion, the sound of shouts for fire and hasty footsteps was so clear in the silent night, and Wu Jin's heart had never been so cold and hard as it was now.

The Chuzhou Household Division will be burned to ashes tonight, and this fire will also burn the last fig leaf between him and Huangfu Xuande, looking at the raging fire, Wu Jin actually has a feeling of complete relief.

His wife, Su Han, woke up from her sleep, she walked to Wujin's side, and gently rested her head on her husband's shoulder, she could understand the complexity of her husband's heart at this time, and she also knew that their life would no longer be peaceful.

"Nine days, I want to send you away." Wu Jin hugged his wife's thin shoulders and said lightly.

Su Han was taken aback, "Where does the husband want to send us?" ”

"Go to Ryukyu Island, it's safer there."

"Why don't you let us stay in Chuzhou? We can go to Viyan County. ”

Wu Jin smiled bitterly, "Soon, the entire Chuzhou will be engulfed in war, and I don't want to have a war, if he can admit my existence and don't want a war, then I can take you back again." ”

Su Han was scared in her heart, she held Wu Jin's hand and said nervously: "Fulang, I really don't want to leave, or we go to Weiyang County, if the situation is critical, it's too late for us to leave, do you think it's okay?" ”

In fact, sending his wives away is also a last resort, sending them to Ryukyu Island, Wu Jin is not at ease, especially after the Chen Qi incident, he has no confidence in the Phoenix Society, he pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You don't have to go to Weiyang County, everyone lives on my boat, let's take the boat as our home for the time being, it will be safer." ”

Su Han let out a long sigh of relief and sent them to a strange island, she was really scared in her heart, if she lived on her husband's boat, she would be willing, she took Wu Jin's hand, put it on her lower abdomen, turned around and smiled softly: "Can you feel it?" ”

Wu Jin felt that her lower abdomen was a little cold, so he hugged her in his arms and kissed her pink lips, "Let's go to sleep first!" Don't catch a cold. ”

Her husband's concern filled Su Han's heart with happiness, and she nodded, "You should rest early!" ”

"I know, I'll be here to rest right away."

Wu Jin watched his wife enter the back room, and he looked back at the raging fire.

．．．．．．．．． The Department of Household Affairs of Chuzhou is a separate yamen, less than 100 steps away from the Jiangning Mansion, less than two miles away from the mansion of Wujin, in front of the most dense Fuqian Street of the Jiangning Mansion, and behind is the Zhuque River, covering an area of about five acres, it is the resident agency of the Ministry of Household in Chuzhou, and the full name is the Household Department of Chuzhou Audit Division.

Because Chuzhou is the important tax area of the imperial court, and the annual tax payment is close to half of all the taxes of the imperial court, the imperial court attaches great importance to Chuzhou, and the role of the Chuzhou Audit Department of the Ministry of Household is to urge the taxes of the counties and send people to the counties to audit, and the power is quite large.

The fire was ignited at the first watch, the fire was extremely fast, from the warehouse burned, less than half an hour, the whole yamen was engulfed, the street was full of firefighters, neighbors carrying buckets and wooden basins, from the river to draw water to fight the fire, shouting, shouting, the whole street in front of the house into chaos.

Shen Qiwu, the young man of Jiangning Prefecture, rushed to the scene of the fire half an hour after the fire started.

"Is Lord Han here?" Shen Qiwu rushed to the scene of the fire and asked.

A government official reported, "We have gone to report to Lord Han, and Mrs. Han said that Lord Han is sick and has difficulty getting up, so he really can't get over." ”

"Fuck it!"

Shen Qiwu scolded angrily, he turned his head and looked at the mansion, Han Shunyi lived behind the mansion, less than a hundred steps away from here, he didn't come to take a look, what was sick, he was fine in the afternoon, it was obvious that he didn't want to take care of this matter, this Han Shunyi seems to be mediocre and incompetent, but in fact he is cunning.

Shen Qiwu squinted at the raging fire, and realized in his heart that as soon as Huangfu Wujin came back, the Hubu Division caught fire, which was too coincidental, and he also knew that the Hubu Division impeached Huangfu Wujin for embezzling taxes and silver, and he also knew that burning the Hubu Division would destroy all the evidence, and Huangfu Wujin's methods were ruthless enough.

Seeing that Shen Shaoyin had arrived, Zuo Yundou, the county commander, hurriedly stepped forward to report, "My lord, the fire is too big to control at all, if you go inside to fight the fire, it will kill you, what should I do?" ”

"Is there anyone in the ya?"

"There is only one official on duty, and he is the first to discover the fire, and the people have already escaped."

Shen Qiwu waved his hand, "As long as no one is killed, tell the officials not to risk going in to put out the fire." ”

Zuo County Commander agreed, turned around and ran to instruct the officer, at this time the head of the household department was so anxious that he sweated profusely and ran over, the chief official was called Yu Guangcai, who was a member of the household department, and was sent by the imperial court two months ago to investigate the case of several big money runs, and then directly stayed in the Chuzhou Department of Households.

It was he who discovered a serious deficit in tax silver a month ago, which scared him half to death, because according to the process, every time the Jiangning Navy took a tax silver, he must have his review and signature, and he had the duty of supervision, but the problem was that the tax silver was transferred to the warehouse of the Chuzhou Salt and Iron Transshipment Division by Huangfu Wujin, and the people who guarded the warehouse were all Meihuawei, so the withdrawal of tax silver had not been signed and reviewed by him at all, and when he found out that something was wrong, there were less than two million taels of 10 million tax silver left, and Yu Guangcai realized that the problem was serious. On the one hand, he ordered the counties to stop sending silver to Jiangning Prefecture, and on the other hand, he moved all the account books back to the Hubu Division, and at the same time impeached the imperial court for Huangfu Wujin to secretly take Chuzhou tax silver.

After a month of verification, they finally mastered the secret of Huangfu Wujin's establishment of the Jin Fu Ji Commercial Bank, buying low and selling high, and embezzling taxes and silver.

He ran to Shen Qiwu and shouted: "Shen Shaoyin, you must control the fire in the clerical building, there are a lot of important top-secret materials in it." ”

The clerical building is also the highest floor in the yamen, close to the warehouse, at this time, it has been completely engulfed in flames, Shen Qiwu shook his head, "Lord Yu, it's not that I don't want to put out the fire, my lord just started from the warehouse next to the clerical building, and it has been burning for an hour, the wooden building paper, do you think the things inside can still be saved?" ”

"But ....."

Yu Guangcai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, those account books and evidence were burned, how could he explain to the imperial court, it was over, his career was over, he almost cried, "Shen Shaoyin, you just give it a try!" Maybe we can salvage a little bit of information. ”

"No way!"

Shen Qiwu flatly refused, "Lord Yu, don't you have more than 20 people under you?" You can save yourself, why do you have to send my servants to death? I'm sorry, but I can only do my best to put out the fire, and then try my best to find out the cause of the fire, if someone deliberately set the fire, I will arrest it, and I will do my part. ”

Shen Qiwu had already understood the cause of the fire, seeing that Chen Zhi was coming with Shang Fang's sword, he turned out to be the prince's person, maybe he would take the opportunity to get rid of the people of the Chu royal family, he didn't want to involve himself in the right and wrong of the emperor's Fu Wujin, and be caught by Chen Zhi.

"Lord Yu, I'm going to report this matter to Han Fu Yin, I'm missing first!"

He turned his horse's head and ran towards the mansion, Shen Qiwu secretly scolded himself for being too tender, Han Shunyi didn't come so close, what did he do?
