Wang Chen rubbed his scarlet eyes, for three days and nights, the sleepless interrogation and investigation almost exhausted his physical strength, as for Zhu Zhiliang, it would have been even worse, if he hadn't used ginseng soup to continue his life, he would have blown out the lamp and pulled out the wax in the western sky.

It's worth the effort, holding a thick stack of confessions, Wang Chen read it over and over again, every time he saw it, he felt cold in his bones, and the more he looked at it, the colder it became.

Zhu Zhiliang confessed that on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he received an invitation and asked him to go to the Weaving Bureau for a banquet, but Zhu Zhiliang was very happy. The weaving eunuch Yang Xuan can be said to be the minister sent by the emperor to the southeast, in addition to the affairs of the weaving bureau, people also hold the power to fold things, he said a good word and a half, more effective than others to say 10,000 sentences.

In order to curry favor with the big eunuch, Zhu Zhiliang specially prepared eighteen pearls the size of a dragon's eye, as well as three thousand taels of silver tickets. Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan favored him, toasted, and left him to have a good talk. Nothing to do, Yang Xuan's enthusiasm made Zhu Zhiliang both excited and worried.

After the meal, he was taken to the backyard of the Weaving Bureau, Yang Xuan greeted him with a smile and said a few words of homely things, Yang Xuan got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he said to introduce him to a friend and let them have a good talk.

As soon as Yang Xuan left, Shen Liang, who was dressed in cloth, walked over, which made Zhu Zhiliang stunned, they were old friends, Zhu Zhiliang was able to get to the location of the county, and he still relied on Shen Liang to lend him money to help him dredge.

Zhu Zhiliang complained about Shen Liang at that time, saying that there was something wrong, and Boss Shen only had to order, why bother to go to the Weaving Bureau to talk, it seemed that the two of them were outside. Shen Liang smiled slightly, saying that the matter was very important, and it would not be possible to talk about it if it was not here. Zhu Zhiliang had to cheer up and listen carefully.

Shen Liang told him that the palace was spending more and more, especially Jiajing's thirtieth birthday, and there were countless rewards, spending millions of taels of silver before and after, and in order to prevent the civil officials from being crooked, all of them were paid out from the inside. However, Jiajing looked at the eunuchs very strictly, but the Weaving Bureau had a way to make money, and the burden fell on Yang Xuan and Shen Liang's shoulders.

Fortunately, Shen Liang is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he barely satisfies the palace, but he is in debt, and if he doesn't solve it, he will go bankrupt this year. For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to produce more silk and earn more silver.

But silk is not said to be woven by weaving more, there must be enough raw silk, and if there is enough raw silk, it is necessary to expand the cultivation of mulberry fields.

Shen Liang originally wanted to start from Taicang, but Tang Yi was mixed up, and Chen Menghe, the governor of Taicang, was born in Hanlin, and the teacher was the hot Xu Ge Lao, so people couldn't afford to be infamous for the Weaving Bureau.

After thinking about it, if "Jin Taicang" fails, only "Yin Jiading" can start, but he helped Zhu Zhiliang at the beginning.

borrowed the field of the Weaving Bureau to force Zhu Zhiliang to nod.

Zhu Zhiliang is not stupid, when he heard about Shen Liang's land acquisition plan, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

The market price is one acre of good land or even twenty taels of silver, and there is no market price, and it is levied at less than one-third of the price, what is the difference between it and robbery! Don't say that the common people don't agree, if it reaches the ears of the imperial historian, they will definitely play.

During the conversation, Zhu Zhiliang said that unless there was a disaster, the people could sell their land.

How do you know that a prophecy has been reminded, and it actually reminded Shen Liang.

It turned out that the reason why Shen Liang was able to stand out among the silk merchants and gain the appreciation of the Weaving Bureau in recent years was that in addition to his long-sleeved and good dancing, the more important thing was that he was deeply trusted because he could always complete impossible tasks.

But Shen Liang is not an immortal, he will not turn stones into gold, how can he satisfy all parties, it is not complicated to say it, he has a secret connection with Chen Sipan, the leader of the Japanese bandits, Chen Sipan is fierce and cunning, with tens of thousands of Japanese robbers and hundreds of ships, dominating Henggang, and being powerful.

Chen Sipan is the king and hegemon at sea, but he also needs food, medicine, and even military funds, and Shen Liang, he only relies on domestic silk sales, and his profits are limited, so he can't satisfy the vampires up and down at all, and he can only rely on smuggling to make huge profits.

The two of them are dry firewood, each taking what he needs, and hitting it off.

Zhu Zhiliang's words reminded Shen Liang, and he immediately formulated a plan, with the help of Chen Sipan's power, harassing Jiading, making people panic, and then taking the opportunity to blow up the river embankment, flood the farmland, and force the people to sell their fields.

If the above is investigated, it will be said that it was done by the Japanese Kou, and Zhu Zhiliang may bear some responsibility, but as long as he actively dedicates the best of both worlds to change the rice field into a mulberry field, the imperial court will allow him to atone for his crimes, and the Weaving Bureau can even help him rise one step higher.

For officials from miscellaneous backgrounds, being able to sit in the prefect's mansion is simply smoke from the ancestral tomb. Zhu Zhiliang weighed it again and again, and finally nodded.

People are not as good as heaven, Chen Sipan This guy is a hero, ambitious, ruthless, he even wants to sweep the south of the Yangtze River and cut the land to be the king. After receiving Shen Liang's secret letter, he immediately thought that this was a good opportunity to make a plan. Not only did he nod in agreement, but he also gathered his elites, pretended to be merchant ships, and quietly entered the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The Ming army's defense was slack, and Shen Liang secretly helped buy off the officials along the way, and he unexpectedly arrived in Jiading smoothly. What happened next didn't go as planned.

Chen Sipan broke through the Baoshan Thousand Households, and then attacked the Wusongjiang Thousand Households, and finally was even more unscrupulous and took Jiading directly. The attack turned into a strong provocation against the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion of the Japanese invaders was completely detonated. Chen Sipan didn't realize it at all, he was full of looting proceeds and returned to Henggang's lair unimpeded.

The mess he left behind suffered Zhu Zhiliang, and he lost the city and land, which was the sin of losing his head. Zhu Zhiliang found Shen Liang like crazy, and scolded him for a night.

Shen Liangdu listened silently, he also gritted his teeth, and hated Chen Sipan Hulai, but there is no regret medicine in the world, and now, someone must take the blame.

"Master Zhu, admit it!"

"You bastard!" Zhu Zhiliang jumped like thunder, pointed at his nose and roared: "You are delusional, it's a big deal to die together!" Zhu must pull you as a backpad! ”

"Hmph, what a big breath!" Shen Liang smiled contemptuously: "You pull me, I'm just a businessman, what can I do, it will only implicate the Weaving Bureau and the palace, and the anger in the palace will be enough for you to wipe out the nine clans and behead all over the house!" ”

Zhu Zhiliang cares most about his family, when he heard this, his face turned blue with fright, and his lips trembled: "Tongwu is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, anyway, it's all death, I have nothing to be afraid of!" ”

"You're stupid! If you don't say it, who can know, the matter of blowing up the river embankment is still the responsibility of the Japanese people, and you are just guilty of losing the city and land, and at most you will be executed after the autumn. ”

"Aren't you still going to die?" Zhu Zhiliang said angrily.

"Stupid, you just need to go to the book and plant mulberry fields, the people will save themselves, in the autumn, the raw silk will be produced, the silk will be woven, and the father-in-law will help you say two good words, at most it will be distributed to the army. In a few years, I will let you go home and be a rich man and live comfortably......"

I have to say that Shen Liang's words were extremely tempting, and Zhu Zhiliang had to succumb despite ten thousand resentments.

After figuring out the past, Wang Chen was no longer polite, and gave an order, asking his master Yang Wenyu to mobilize the supervising people and go to arrest Shen Liang.

There are a total of three battalions of people in the superintendent, with a total of 1,500 people, Wang Chen just arrived in Suzhou, there are only two or three hundred people around him, he takes the lead, these people are following behind, but Wang Chen did not notice that among the crowd of superintendents, there are three people who are particularly conspicuous, one of them is the young and handsome Tang Yi, and the other is the chic and elegant Tang Shunzhi. Next to them, there was a man in his forties and fifties, I saw that he was thin, highlighting a thick skeleton, and his face was a little gray, but his eyes were bright, and he walked with a tiger.

The three of them didn't speak, and followed the superintendent quickly.

Wang Chen had already sent someone to monitor Shen Liang, and suddenly someone came over and muttered a few words in Wang Chen's ear, and Wang Chen immediately hit his horse and rushed towards the dock. From a distance, I saw a group of people, more than 100 men in Tsing Yi, holding various weapons in their hands, and hugging a person on the boat.

Shen Liang wants to run!

Wang Chen suddenly became anxious, and roared angrily: "Rush, take it for me!" ”

The soldiers complied with the order and pressed in line towards the pier. Shen Liang turned his head suddenly, revealing a contemptuous smile, what is the mere few hundred governors, can they beat the outlaws who have been fighting at sea for many years!

"Brothers, go up!"

Dozens of men in Tsing Yi snorted and rushed up against the superintendent, they were fierce and fierce one by one, and they were murderous all over their bodies. Wang Chen saw it in his eyes, and suddenly felt bad, these people are definitely murderers with one as ten, although the training of the superintendent is not bad, but half of them are recruits, and if they don't make a charge, they will be scattered.

If that's the case, he, the admiral, can only stuff his head into the crotch of his pants, and he will have no face to see anyone!

The two armies were getting closer and closer, Tang Shunzhi held the flower gun in his hand, looked at the man in Tsing Yi who rushed with his eyes firmly, and suddenly burst into a shout: "Raise the gun!" ”

Well, thirty spears stood up in unison, the tips of the spears were pointed at the rushing big man, and many soldiers were in cold sweat in their palms.

"Thorn!"

Tang Shunzhi said, and the flower gun in his hand stabbed out, like a strange python turning over, hitting the throat of a big man. He is recognized as a martial artist, and it is nothing to succeed in one hit. But a startling scene appeared, the other soldiers of the superintendent stabbed the enemy one after another, blood gushing, the man in green clothes howled in embarrassment, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground.

On the other hand, no one has fallen on the side of the superintendent!

The superintendent is mighty!

The thick man's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he shouted excitedly: "Children, what are you waiting for, kill the enemy!" ”
