Standing at the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of the river slapping against the boat, Zhou Jiamo had a little smile on his face. The moon hangs in the sky, and although it is not a full moon, it is still very beautiful when the silver ash is sprinkled on the surface of the river.

"My lord, where are we going after we go to Yangzhou? Do you want to send someone to arrange it first? A man stood behind Zhou Jiamo and seemed to hesitate for a long time before he slowly spoke.

Shaking his head slowly, Zhou Jiamo said with a smile: "Things are not as complicated as you think, even the emperor of the capital knows about this matter, that is to say, it has been put on the surface." Thinking about the letter he received halfway, Zhou Jiamo's expression was a little complicated. I have always valued that student, I hope Zhang Qian will not do too much!

"What do you mean? Forgive me for being humble and stupid, and not understanding what the adults mean! The man was stunned, but he was still honest.

"The emperor has received the secret fold, which means that this matter has been sent, the matter has come to the fore, and there is no need to investigate it clearly. The old man went to Yangzhou, firstly, to meet the official, and secondly, because he was not at ease with my unsuccessful student! Third, I want to understand things thoroughly. Maybe there are some more, that is, in order not to fall into the calculations of those people in Nanjing. Zhou Jiamo smiled indifferently, thinking of Wei Guogong mentioned in the secret letter, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The man seemed to understand something, and did not ask anything, but opened his mouth to persuade: "My lord, the river is cold at night, you better go to the cabin!" The fish that the adults dropped during the day, the cook on the bed had already made it, and the humble duty prepared a cloudy wine, and the adults drank a few glasses to go to the cold. ”

Nodding with a smile, Zhou Jiamo said with satisfaction: "The old man thought that this errand would be extremely hard, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. Let's go, eat fish and drink! He strode into the cabin.

At night, the city of Nanjing is still brightly lit, the Qinhuai River is still full of laughing sounds, and the entire wharf is full of flower boats. It was the best time to attract customers, but a three-story flower ship had slowly opened the port, and those who often do business here knew it. This flower boat must have been chartered by the gold master.

In the hall on the second floor, there are more than a dozen tables on both sides, on which are placed all kinds of delicacies, and on each seat there is a clever woman waiting. But the people in each seat were different, some of them were older, some of them were younger, and they all smiled at the dancing women in the hall.

However, there was no one in the three main seats, and no one showed an anxious look, and they all waited quietly. Occasionally, someone would glance into the staircase on the third floor. But no one looked at it for too long.

Bang Bang Bang! Three slaps sounded, and the music in the hall stopped abruptly, and both the dancing and the waiting women all withdrew. Three people came down from the upper floor, dressed in civilian clothes, and the three of them sat down on the main seat unceremoniously.

On the left is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a sincere smile on his face, who looks very approachable. However, although this person's eyes are faint, they shine from time to time. It shows that this is not a good person. This person is none other than Cheng Yi, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

The man in the middle is thinner than his feet. There is a hint of sickly paleness on the face, which gives a particularly gloomy feeling. The eyes are not big, but they are very gloomy, and if they are targeted by him, there will definitely be a creepy feeling. This person is the Fu Si of Weibei Town, Jinyi, Nanjing, and Fang Shihong, a member of the Fang family in Zhejiang. His father was Fang Congzhe, who was at home.

The one on the right has a big beard and a horizontal scar on his face, and the whole person looks very rough. This person is Zhang Guangcan, the governor of the Left Governor of Nanjing's Five Armies, and his ancestor was Zhang Xing, who was the Yongle Emperor Jingnan to raise troops. Later, he was named An Xiangbo for his merits, and his ancestors also had outstanding figures. Zhang Guangcan is now the left governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. It can be said that it has lived up to the reputation of his ancestors.

"Uncle, do you have anything to say?" Fang Shihong looked at An Xiangbo Zhang Guangcan with a smile, and said with a bit of flattery.

"You just discuss, I'm listening, I really don't know what you're doing with all these people, if the news leaks, we'll finish the game together!" Zhang Guangcan's face was a little dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly.

It seems that he has long been used to it, and everyone's expressions have not changed, Fang Shihong bricked his head and said to Cheng Yi, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry on the side: "Lord Cheng, let's talk about it!" Now at this time, Master Cheng doesn't have to keep anything, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and everyone lives and dies with one heart! I'll put my words here first, if anyone has two hearts, don't think you can escape. We all know each other, and don't blame others when the whole family dies. ”

After Fang Shihong threatened everyone, Cheng Yi stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Everyone, being able to sit here means that you are already a very important person." There were people from Shanxi, Zhejiang, and other places, and everyone knew why they gathered together. Our official said that he did it for himself, but it was better to say that he did it for his family, and I hope everyone can understand this. ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Cheng Yicai continued: "I don't say it, and you also know that Zhangjiakou's business has been cut off, and Yangzhou's salt has also been cut off. Now that the imperial court wants to reform the military system, then this financial route will be cut off. Although some people still have money at sea, the navy of the imperial court is already being built, so don't have too much hope. With the temperament of today's emperor, the money on the sea will never be let go. ”

This time, not everyone seemed to agree with Cheng Yi's words, and they studied each other, and the scene slowly calmed down.

"The old man knows that you have something to say, but listen to the old man first, the old man who has done what you have done in the past does not say that you know it in your heart. Now the case of the Zhejiang mutiny and the case of Yangzhou disaster relief, which of you can escape? The emperor sent Zhou Jiamo over, which of you is not afraid to investigate? Not to mention other crimes, who of you can afford a single collusion between officials and businessmen? Cheng Yi's face was filled with a touch of evil, and a sneer swept over everyone's faces.

The scene settled down again, and everyone's faces became ugly. The Ming Law has clear provisions on the collusion of officials and businessmen for profit, and all those who collude with officials and businessmen and use their power for personal gain will be all put into the grass. If it had been placed in the past, it would have been dismissed and returned home at best. But today's emperor is different, whether it is the Liaodong case or the Yangzhou salt case, this emperor of the Apocalypse has been killed all the way.

I know what I do, I really send it, and it's light to pull the skin and fill the grass. Among them, the fear is none other than Wu Yang, the governor of Nanzhili, who is the first to bear the brunt at this time, no matter how you look at it, he can't run away.

"Cheng Gong, if there is any way, just say it! We're all in the same boat, and we'll do whatever you want! Wu Yang hurriedly said that now there is no way to retreat, so he can only give it a go!

However, many people cursed Wu Yang in their hearts, the ghost is in the same boat with you, your boat is about to sink, and they want to drag Lao Tzu to bury you. However, no one said anything, and they all stared at Cheng Yi, hoping that this adult could come up with an idea.

"Now the development of things is still under control, Zhou Jiamo has fallen ill, Lord Fang, you can arrange for someone to find out whether it is a real illness or a fake illness as soon as possible. If he is really sick, it is a golden opportunity to let him stay sick forever! If it's a fake illness, then find a way to make him really sick, in short, you can't let Zhou Jiamo do anything. Cheng Yi looked at Fang Shihong on the side, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, Fang Shihong nodded slowly, Fang Jueliang, the ancestor of the Fang family, was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it can be said that with the development of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, the Fang family has become a veritable lord of the world. His father Fang Congzhe has been the head of the cabinet for so many years, and the Fang family has developed to an unprecedented height, how can he decay in his own hands?

Nodding slowly, Fang Shihong said in a deep voice: "Zhou Jiamo is the guardian of the heavens, and his safety is the responsibility of Jinyiwei, you can think of a way to do this." I'll plan it well, and maybe I can even give Zhang Dake, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a false accusation! ”

is not looking at Zhang Shihong, this matter can be left to him, as for how to do it, he must be better than himself. Looking at Zhang Guangcan, an Xiangbo on the side, Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Uncle, all the things in Hangzhou are pushed to Wei Guogong, I don't know if Uncle can make some trouble for Wei Guogong again?" It's best to take down the military power of Wei Guogong! ”

"Are you going to rebel?" Although An Xiangbo looks very rough, he is not rough at all in his heart. He actually dared to attack Qin Cha, and he also wanted to frame the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he wanted to take away the military power of Wei Guogong, if he couldn't see it, he would be a fool.

"Don't hide it from you, I have already sent someone to Luoyang, if it is really just a matter of time, then we will be martyred in Nanjing. Even if it can't be done in the end, you can still hold the southeast half of the wall. But this is also a last resort, after all, the roots of Shanxi people are still in Shanxi! A complicated look flashed on Cheng Yi's face, but he still chose to say it.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to the fryer, and finally their eyes fell on An Xiangbo. After all, this is a hereditary uncle, and I really can't say how he will choose.

"This matter must be considered in the long run, and don't do it until you have to!" Staring at Cheng Yi with blazing eyes, An Xiangbo said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, this uncle, if you don't do that, none of us will take this risk. But if it is really successful, An Xiangbo is probably An Xianggong! Cheng Yi naturally knew what An Xiangbo was thinking, and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
