Ning Tong explained very happily, at this time, he only wanted to die quickly, and he didn't want to end up like Tushun.

Things are similar to Zhu Ping'an's analysis. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the thieves attacked Fengyang, and the stronghold of the Fan clan in Fengyang, Xiangshun Ji, was destroyed.

After two years, in order to expand the trade with Jianghuai salt merchants, Fan's once again chose to establish a transit station in Fengyang. Fengyang is located in the south of Nanzhili, which is not only closely related to Jianghuai, but also an important transportation hub from the north to Jiangnan. Having gained a foothold in Fengyang, the trade route between Jianghuai and Jiangnan will undoubtedly be much smoother.

As early as the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Fan clan had already taken root outside the mouth and traded with Mongolia in the Wucheng area. After the rise of the Jurchen Houjin, due to the ban on border trade by the Ming Dynasty, the grain, salt and iron they needed needed to be supplied by the Guannei. After Wucheng was renamed Zhangjiakou, the border trade market here was also quite prosperous. As a result, it became a channel for Houjin to replenish various materials.

The traitor merchants led by Fan Yongdou collected the materials from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and transported them outside the border wall to the exit, which was equivalent to sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty to feed the Houjin Tartars outside the Guan.

The Jiexiu Fan clan and the traitor businessmen gathered around him are still mad and traitorous to the extreme.

As a close minister of the Han people beside Huang Taiji, Ning Wan was in charge of liaison with merchants such as the Fan family. Last year, there was a lack of revenue outside the Guan, and he urgently needed supplies in the Guan, so he sent his nephew Ning Tong as a special envoy to go deep into the Guannai to contact Fan.

However, due to the destruction of Fengyang Xiangshun Ji in the fire, the amount of materials needed outside the gate this year far exceeded that of previous years, and the Fan family was also a little stretched for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

After asking, Ning Tong knew the reason. Over the years, the cooperation with the Fan family was only one aspect of the Guanwai Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai Dynasty took the Fan family as a pawn and recruited a group of shameless traitorous officials to work for it.

Fengyang Xiangshunji was not only a transit station for collecting materials, but also shouldered the important task of liaising with Jianghuai salt merchants, Nanjing officials, and Jiangnan magnates. After Xiangshun remembered the accident, in order to calm things down, Fan was unwilling to let the master outside the gate reprimand him for this, so he chose to conceal it and not report it.

For more than a year, Fan sent people to search for the correspondence and account books between the parties and the treasurer of Xiangshun Ji, but there was no result. At this time, Ning Tong came to the door in person with the order of the master outside the gate, and the Fan family panicked and had to explain the whole story.

Ning Tong was furious, such a serious matter, Fan Shi actually kept it in the dark. It's been a year, and the account books and correspondence have not been found, and if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, the network of contacts between Jianghuai and Jiangnan, which the Manchu Qing Dynasty has built with great efforts and a large amount of gold and silver, will not be burned down!

scolded Fan Yongdou and a group of people, and scolded him so much that he was scolded. Then he sent someone to send the news back to Shengjing. As soon as I got the report, I immediately rushed to Zhangjiakou to make peace with Ning Tong. He is not stupid, in addition to such a big flaw in the stall he is responsible for, how can he explain to the master, or take advantage of the fact that the matter has not deteriorated, first fill the hole, and then ask for the crime is not too late, at least it will not end up with a severe punishment.

Is it easy for a Han to climb to where he is today? I can't stop lamenting.

Ning Wan carefully understood the process and made a decision immediately. Ning Tong personally led the Fan family to Fengyang, and made sure to find these account books and letters. Ning Wan I also handed over the attendant Tushun and others specially sent to him by Huang Taiji to his nephew in order to make sure that everything was in order.

This is the journey of no return to Fengyang of Ning Tong, Tushun and others.

Zhu Ping'an did not break his promise, and after Ning Tong finished explaining, he immediately rewarded him with the bottle of crane top red. Ning Tong held the bottle of **, exchanged tears for a while, hesitated for a while, but gritted his teeth and drank it, and died of poison in an instant.

Zhu Ping'an didn't plan to leave Ning Tong alive. The Ming Dynasty has reached the root, just a Ningtong, as long as Zhu Ping'an hands him over to Yousi Yamen, within two days, he will die of a violent illness. Zhu Ping'an can understand with his toes how deep Fan's relationship in the court is, if it weren't for the thunder means, it would not be possible to uproot it at all, Lu Zhenfei can't do this, I'm afraid even Emperor Chongzhen may not be able to do it.

Previously, Zhu Ping'an was careless, and rashly handed over Tushun to Jinyiwei, which almost led to death. Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Therefore, as long as you know what you should know, Ningtong's affairs, it is best not to leave any troubles.

In the inner line of the court, Zhu Ping'an already knew a name. He Youling. Moreover, he was also a eunuch. In the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty, the number of eunuchs is as high as tens of thousands, which is a huge group, ordinary eunuchs, will not be favored by the Fan family, and will be cited as the Austrian aid in the court.

But in Zhu Ping'an's memory, he really can't remember what kind of existence this He Youling is, his background, even his age and position are unknown. It seems that after a while, Yin Shigang's trip to the capital is still very necessary.

The other is the clues in the scraps of paper found in the secret room, among which there is a name, perhaps more appropriately called an official position. "Maoyang Bo".

Zhu Ping'an learned about it from Zhou Mian. There is indeed a person named "Maoyang Bo" in the DPRK.

Maoyang Boliu Zhongshu, the ancestor was a martyr, died in the battle of the southern soldiers besieging Beiping City, so he got a hereditary earl.

After several generations, by the time of the Wanli period, the Liu family had fallen, and Liu Zhongshu's grandfather was only a commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies at that time. In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong of Banzhou rebelled, and the imperial court appointed Li Hualong as the governor of Sichuan, Hu and Guizhou provinces, and commanded an army of 200,000 to suppress it. Liu Zhongshu's grandfather entered the counterinsurgency army at this time, made many military exploits, and finally died in Loushan Pass.

The imperial court compensated the Liu family and gave the title of Earl of Maoyang, and the Liu family finally restored the glory of their ancestors.

But during the Apocalypse, Liu Zhongshu's father was attached to Wei Zhongxian, although he did not do evil, but he was unhappy with Chongzhen, and died in Chongzhen for three years.

Liu Zhongshu inherited the title, he was cautious, did not make friends with the powerful people in the court, and was low-key and abnormal, so that even the people in the capital may not know his existence.

Even such a person has a close past with the Fan family, and it seems that he is also one of the indispensable chess pieces.

It's a pity that Ning Tong hasn't been on this mission for a long time, so he doesn't know much about the secrets that Ning Wan and I have, and Ning Wan and I are very cautious, and I haven't revealed too much about my nephew, so far, Zhu Ping'an has only so many things.

If you want to eradicate these tumors attached to Daming's body in one fell swoop, there is a long way to go!

But if something like this happens, Fengyang can't stop.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu was impacted, the captured prisoners were killed, and not even a corpse was left, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Liao Yongtang was captured by the people and scholars, and many captains of Jinyi Wei were recorded and signed to prove that Liao Yongtang had an affair with Tartar.

When the civil and military officials of Fengyang were shocked, a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the scholars led the people to ransack Liao Yongtang's private house again, capturing two Tartar Xizuo and a number of Liao Yongtang's domestic servants. The confession pointed directly at Liao Yongtang's treason and defection to the enemy.

Although no actual evidence was found, just the confessions of so many people were enough to convict Liao Yongtang, not to mention that two genuine Tartar spies were found in his private house.

The Fengyang prefect, political envoys, and envoys rushed to Lu Jiude and Lu Zhenfei's mansions, asking the two of them to give them an idea.

Lu Jiude suddenly lost his opinion, and turned to Lu Zhenfei for help.

Lu Zhenfei was also a little confused. The day before yesterday, Zhu Ping'an had just taken a tartar and handed it to Liao Yongtang in front of him.

But the evidence is ironclad, although Liao Yongtang did not confess, he was already silent, and he seemed to have no objection to this change. This time, even Lu Zhenfei had no idea.

After brainstorming, Lu Zhenfei, the governor, and Lu Jiude, the lieutenant of the town, took the lead, and the big and small officials signed it, and explained the matter to the court, waiting for the ruling of the cabinet and the emperor.

In the evening, a few fast horses held tokens, galloped all the way, and rushed to the capital, and the situation in Fengyang was stabilized.

The soldiers and civilians who were originally arrested by the Soldiers and Horses Division were also released under Lu Zhenfei's interference, but they were told that no one was allowed to leave Fengyang without the permission of the government. Because, once the envoy of the imperial court arrives, it is inevitable to inquire about everyone's confessions, and it is necessary for the big guys to come forward to testify.

And this qiē has nothing to do with Zhu Ping'an. He hid in the Thousand Households, enjoying a rare leisure time.

But if you want to relax, it's not as easy as you think. Wang Jinfa thought for a long time, and asked Zhu Ping'an to see him when he was holding the lamp. It seems that regarding Zhu Ping'an's previous instructions, he has thought of some countermeasures.

"The villain is bold, I want to ask the uncle, what is the value of the goods you are talking about?" Wang Jinfa hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"10,000 taels of gold, all of which have the imprints of local governments. These were also given to Wang Jinyong by Zhang Xianzhong, wanting to use them to buy him east. You should know this! ”

Wang Jinfa's heart sank.

"There are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets, the number is too large, if it is converted into cash, not to mention that no one in the entire Fengyang can swallow it, even the government will notice it. There are also some jewelry, jade and other things, the value is not easy to calculate! ”

Wang Jinfa thought about it carefully, and his expression gradually relaxed, "This matter is not difficult, but there is one thing that the villain must show to the uncle." Converted into unmarked cash, the villain is some channels, but some of them will be consumed. ”

"It's a must, I understand!" Zhu Ping'an nodded. This is equivalent to money laundering in the future, and the handling party also bears a certain amount of risk, and charges some and the fees are reasonable.

"For the specific share, the villain still has to meet those people in person before he can return to the uncle!"

"Who are they, I don't want to deal with the Tartars, you know!"

"Uncle, rest assured, they are all high-rollers in the south, they are engaged in business on the sea, they have a wide range of people, many doors, and a lot of cash in their hands, especially those who trade with Fusang and the Japanese country, they are even richer than the country, and they can completely afford this business!"

Zhu Ping'an was shocked, "Pirates? ”
