Chapter 378: Bribery

(PS: Punctual yes!) Chapter 2! Tomorrow to continue! )

Xie Shence returned to the Prince's Palace, opened the box, and quickly closed it again. ∷,

Inside the box, there is a piece of azure jade, which is the piece that Xie Shence asked Xie Laosan to send to Suzhou back then.

Xie Shence made a total of three pieces that time, a fairy flower is now worn on Wang Jiehua's neck, and the blue sea and silver waves belong to Wang Qingyan. And this green locust leaf is Wang Qinghuai's.

It's just that Wang Qinghuai has returned it now.

Xie Shence looked at the night sky, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he felt relaxed.

Growth, the best, is to let go

The prince's activities in Suzhou City went more smoothly than Xie Shence expected, and some reports came back that some officials in Suzhou City actually had a good impression of the prince.

This is different from Chuzhou City and Wuxi City.

Chuzhou City was built into an iron barrel by the Wang family, and no force could splash oil.

There have been too many forces involved in Wuxi City in recent years, and it seems that it is easy to fish in troubled waters, but in fact, how can it be so easy? The major forces have been fighting for several years and have not been able to distribute the big cake, and at this time, one more person out of thin air will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the forces of all parties.

Suzhou City is different.

The Zhang family's "going north" made the entire city of Suzhou breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Moreover, Suzhou has always been far from the center and is a purely commercial place, and at this time, the prince entered Suzhou City with a low-key attitude, which undoubtedly gave some people in Suzhou a hope.

Because, some people don't know that King Qi and Sima Bi broke up, and King Qi has had a hard time recently, so naturally, the limelight fell to the side of the prince.

Especially after Zheng Keming, the secretary of the ministry, treasoned and a large number of officials were purged, the power of King Qi became thinner and thinner, and this tendency became more and more obvious.

Now that the crown prince is here, it meets some people's expectations, so there is no reason not to look at the wind.

Xie Shence boredly flipped through some officials' greetings or gift lists, and then casually threw them aside and ignored them.

I can't bring back these people to send beautiful women, and it's not easy to carry silver, but some people know how to send silver tickets, but the number is small and can't look down, as for the "local specialty" what coral pearls and the like, it's really not rare.

A foot tall coral is only worthy of being thrown away in my warehouse. Pearl? Did you know that Madame Admiral grinds three of them every morning and evening to apply to her face?

As for having a meal, I was even more interested in attending a poetry meeting in a certain building in Suzhou City.

Dealt with Wang Qinghuai's matter casually, and the people in Erli did not show up for a long time, the prince has been very busy going out early and returning late these days, and Xie Shence is very bored.

Although Tiqi had a lot of things to deal with, he didn't care at all.

Xie Shence knows how to truly delegate power. This is also the reason why he reorganized the Tiqi Division at the beginning, and the Jin capital was full of blood, but there was not much turmoil in the local area.

However, Xie Shence still needs to make some gestures, such as asking what is going on, signing the documents sent by Tiqi, and finding some people who have performed well to talk about life ideals and the blue sky and blue sea.

Unexpectedly, the result really made Xie Shence find something.

Putting aside the officials' things, there was a tiqi to deliver the freshest news in Suzhou City in the past few days.

Liu Daguan was caught and raped in bed by his wife, but Mrs. Liu found out that the object was actually her best friend, and this best friend turned out to be Song Daguan in the next room. The drama is that Liu Daguan later found out that his wife and Song Daguan actually have a leg!

There was a very famous pig outside the city, who broke the door of the pigsty and strayed into the granary, and finally attracted the people who came to pursue him into the granary, and actually captured two thieves.

Because the weather is getting cooler, the grass and trees outside Suzhou are withering, and a child went up the mountain to cut the grass and found a cave, and in that cave, there were more than ten corpses, all children, male and female, and did not know where they were from. This child is the little owner of the pig.

Xie Shence took the news, slowly slapped the table, and then asked, "Did the Suzhou prefect find anything?" ”

A Tiqi bowed down and said, "If the prefect of Suzhou can find out anything, it will not take the initiative to report this matter to my Tiqi Division." ”

Mr. Yang said with a smile: "If such a thing is not handled well, Jiang Beiliu's official hat will not be able to be saved." Although people are dying every day in Suzhou City, and fresh corpses can be found in the sewer ditch of any city, this matter is too big a problem after all. And it was civilians who died, and it seems that it was still the work of human traffickers. Suzhou has always been known for its peace and tranquility, and if such an ugly thing happens, it will inevitably be used to publicize it, and it will not be able to cover it if you want to. ”

Xie Shence pondered for a moment and said: "Jiang Beiliu should burn the bench now, the prince doesn't know about this matter yet, if the prince knows, I think he can resign now." ”

Then Xie Shence suddenly asked, "What happened to Liu Daguan and Song Daguanren in the end?" ”

Tiqi replied, "It is said that it did not make a big fuss. Although it was quite a bit of trouble at first, this time stopped. The lowly rank originally planned to watch a good show, but it didn't work out, so I regretted it. ”

Mr. Yang said: "Why didn't you make trouble?" ”

"It's not because of the pig!"

"How does it have to do with pigs?"

"The pig belongs to the child who found the carcass. In the past two days, everyone in Suzhou City has said that this pig has spirituality, first led people to catch the thief, and then entrusted the dream to the child, so they found those corpses. It is said that this pig can know good fortune and good fortune, and it is a fairy descending to earth! ”

Xie Shence said in his heart, is he Marshal Tianpeng?

Mr. Yang frowned and said, "Nonsense! Where is that pig what kind of fairy descended to earth. Wasn't that kid scared half to death? It is said that it has not recovered until now. ”

Ti Qi hurriedly said yes, the boss said no, yes and no, this will never change. Especially within the Ti Cavalry Division, the superior is always right, and the Admiral is always right.

"Because the matter is relatively large, people's attention has shifted to this matter, and the affairs of Liu Daguan and Song Daguan gradually become less concerned about it. The two families have heads and faces, and they don't want their ugly family to be known, so they have eliminated their anger. Anyway, I don't have to suffer. ”

Xie Shence asked, "Can the origin of those corpses be found?" Are you a local? ”

"It's not. Yesterday, he checked the files in Suzhou City for nearly a month, and found no record of reporting the loss of children, and Director Mao had transferred the official files of Jiangnan County before, but he also did not find them. ”

Mao Xiaosan said: "I did check the official files of Jiangnan County, but I found nothing. And the entire Huaiyang Dao file is more troublesome to investigate, and if I intervene in this matter, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. ”

Xie Shence nodded, hesitating whether to take over.

At this time, a Tiqi came in and reported: "Lord Admiral, Lord Jiang, the prefect of Suzhou, asks to see you." ”

Xie Shence and Mr. Yang glanced at each other, and then smiled.

"What are you talking about?"

"My lord, do you want to push it over?"

Xie Shence thought for a moment, and then said, "Let him in." ”

Ti Cavalry took the order and left.

Mr. Yang said: "My lord, it is not appropriate to take on this kind of thing at this time. ”

Xie Shence smiled slightly, and then said, "It's okay. ”

Of course, he was aware of Mr. Yang's concerns. The crown prince is still in Suzhou, and Xie Shence, as a guard, is not suitable for meddle in local affairs. Although it is possible to assist in the investigation of this kind of thing, once it receives the request of the government, it becomes completely its own business, and the government is inconvenient to continue, so it can only provide some help.

The people of Erli are still in the shadows, and the safety of the prince is the most important, no matter how you say it, Xie Shence is not suitable for anything else now.

But Xie Shence is really boring!

And he didn't think that under the protection of thirty shadows, hundreds of horsemen, and nearly a thousand state troops, there would be any more problems with the prince's safety.

Although the 1,000 state army is only a supporting role, it can only wave the flag and shout, and the combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

The prefect of Suzhou, Jiang Beiliu, came, and his face was obviously very bad.

Xie Shence smiled: "Why does the prefect have time to come to me?" Take a seat and watch the tea. ”

Jiang Beiliu didn't sit down, but stood up and said, "Your Excellency has something to ask for the help of the Admiral." ”

"Oh? Mr. Jiang, please speak. ”

"Retreat left and right."

Xie Shence paused, then waved his hand, and all the horsemen, including General Secretary Yang, went down.

Jiang Beiliu saw that everyone had gone down, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"I beg the Admiral to save the officer's life!"

Xie Shence smiled secretly in his heart, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly helped Jiang Beiliu up, looked at the prefect who was sobbing and said, "What is Lord Jiang doing!" Can't say something well? Sit down, you and I can take your time. ”

Jiang Beiliu sat down, and then said the matter with a handful of snot and tears.

Sure enough, it was the abduction and trafficking of children.

After listening to this, Xie Shence said in a deep voice: "This matter is under the management of Suzhou Prefecture, and I am not prepared, so it is not easy to interfere." Moreover, Lord Jiang knows that Admiral Ben is going south this time, as long as he is responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has no time to doppelganger at all. ”

"As long as the Admiral is willing to help, Jiang Beiliu is willing to listen to the Admiral's dispatch in the future! I just ask for my help, and I will never forget it! ”

Xie Shence said in his heart that if this matter reaches the ears of the prince, you will be finished.

There was just an ugly incident outside Suzhou before, and the prince's impression of Suzhou officials was not good, if there was another one, you would definitely be the one who was thrown out of the top cylinder. If I take this over, it will be none of your business, and you won't have to be belittled. Help, it's not that bad.

The allegiance of a prefect is not much of a bargaining chip in terms of Xie Shence. But if it is a prefect of Jiangnan County, it is worth weighing.

What's more, Xie Shence knew that Jiangbeiliu's evaluation over the years was not bad, and if there was the operation of the Xie family, it should not be too difficult to promote the assassin history in the future, or even enter Chuzhou City to seek a position.

Jiang Beiliu saw Xie Shence's hesitation in his eyes, so he hurriedly said: "If Lord Admiral is willing to save the official from water and fire, this little meaning is not a respect. ”

As if playing a trick, Jiang Beiliu had a thick stack of paper in his hand.

That's the silver ticket.

Xie Shence looked at the denomination of the first one and took a breath of cold air.

But I am willing to do it!

This stack of silver tickets, at least 50,000 taels!

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. How many years has Jiangbeiliu been in Suzhou City? Xie Shence didn't dare to think about it.

"Master Jiang, what are you doing! Is it to bribe Admiral? ”

Xie Shence shouted loudly, Jiang Beiliu was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he almost didn't hold the silver ticket.

"Where, where! Timen, Lord Admiral, just thinking about the hard work of the adults, some wine money, where can we talk about hehe, the adults must not refuse, even the adults of the Tiqi also need hard work"

Xie Shence glanced at Jiang Beiliu, and then said, "This is for me?" ”

Jiang Beiliu was stunned, and secretly scolded Xie Shence for being insatiable in his heart, but his face turned into a flower, and said: "It's just for Lord Admiral, and for other adults, and it will be sent later." ”

Xie Shence sighed and said, "It's not about money."

Jiang Beiliu almost suffocated himself in one go.

Dog corrupt officials! The lion opened his mouth! I'm not afraid to kill myself!

Immediately, Jiang Beiliu heard Xie Shence say faintly: "I am not short of money." ”

Jiang Beiliu vomited blood almost on the spot.

It's so little!
