Chapter 853 The Chin Messenger Crossing the Border is always polite

"Damn it, in our temple, buried directly in the back of the fertile field, here we have to toss like this"

The old woman's body was cold and out of breath, a monk was putting a rope around the neck of the corpse and dragging it towards the beam, scolding and complaining, while the other monk was staring at a few people in the room, his face was gloomy, and a person dressed up next to him said:

"Master Fuhu should be more responsible, after the dead, he must always report to the government to find a reason for hanging himself, and my eldest brother will be confused and passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Second brother, I didn't find the thing that the master said."

After a while, the person who was looking for something there turned around to report, and Na Yu nodded quickly, turned his head to look at the monk beside him, and said with a dry smile:

"Master of Dragon Descent, do you see this?"

The monk's face became even more gloomy, and he said in a rough voice:

"The Sprinkle family thinks that these people are not looking for it with all their hearts, so the important things will not be so simple to hide."

The catcher next to him bowed down with a smile and said:

"The things arranged by the Buddha of Puyuan, how can the brothers deal with the ambiguity, these people who come to find things are all skilled in Suzhou Mansion, and they have to rely on them to find the place where the gold and treasure are hidden when they enter the big households, and the eyes are very poisonous, if they can't find it, even those old people in the house can't find it."

The gold and silver treasures of the high-ranking families are naturally hidden in the secret places of the house, and it is one thing to go in to steal and rob, torture and interrogate, but also to have people who know how to search, and the people who search in this broken house are this category.

The monk over there had already hung the woman's body on the beams of the house, making it look like she was hanging, and then searched the house, moved the chair under the corpse, and kicked it down again, as if the man had stepped on the stool and went up by himself.

Someone knocked on the door a few times outside, and a street vendor-like man came in, nodded at a few people, and said:

"The people around me inquired once, and the children of this family haven't seen it for three days."

The expressions of several people in the room were gloomy again, but one of the people who was still there seemed to have seen something, took out a short knife and scratched the brick crack in the corner of the wall next to the bed a few times, pried the two bricks open, and then reached out and touched it, and then turned his head and said:

"Second brother, the place where things are hidden in the house can only be this place, but there are no things in it, it should have been taken away."

"Damn, it must be this little brute who took it to see Qincha, Old Zhao, send your people to Songjiang to block it"

The monk who hung the old woman up shouted in a rough voice, but the catch was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:

"Master Fuhu doesn't have to worry, if this little beast wants to see Qincha, he must go to the river, calculating that Qincha has just entered the territory of Changzhou Mansion, there is Puyuan Buddha personally guarding it, and there is Liao Boss on Songjiang They are staring, there is no way out, what we have to do here is to keep an eye on Suzhou Mansion, don't be taken advantage of, please rest assured, there are more than 20 people on horseback here."

"What the Buddha said over there is really not bad, as soon as this Lao Shiziqin arrives, all the miscellaneous pieces will be moved, otherwise I really don't know that this family is actually hiding in Suzhou."

The monk on the other side said in a rough voice.

"Hou Ye is really good, that Wei Guogong Xu family, everyone treats it as the king of Jiangnan, but he is so honest in front of Hou Ye, Cheng Yongbo's business has been done in Henan, Nan Zhili has to give a little face on the ground, but he doesn't dare to say a word in front of Hou Ye, no wonder when the villain sees Hou Ye, he only feels trembling all over his body, and he can't stand steadily, it turns out that because of this, Hou Ye's tiger power is really amazing."

Lu Da, who was caught in Pizhou, was also brought into Nanjing City with him, but there were always people watching him and would not let him run around, but Lu Da still knew about the things and news that he was born.

The ship began to sail eastward, Wang Tong called Lu Da over, and before he could ask, this Lu Da was a flattering pat without a mouth, Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Don't say these meaty words, let me ask you, in addition to their own nursing homes, what other people with knives can call on the big families in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"How can it be considered a piece of meat, Hou Ye, the small ones are all heartfelt words, this Xiu'er is called "Tianhu" on the Qinhuai River, there was a big man from Yuegang, willing to give 100,000 taels to Xiu'er to redeem himself, Uncle Chengyong's family has never agreed, but in front of Hou Ye, it is obediently sent, not to mention the prestige of Hou Ye, good good, not to mention the small ones in the Jiangnan area, there are a lot of big families in their own homes, these big households are generally local stolen goods and salt sellers, and the subordinates of those salt lords nearby also use it, a few places by the sea, They often have a relationship with pirates, and pirates are all active."

Lu Da is also a self-familiar character, and he has no cheek, there is nothing to talk about flattery, seeing Wang Tong's glare, he changed the topic, he also knew that Wang Tong was here to investigate the case of Songjiang Xu's encroachment on land property, pondered and said:

"The Xu family is different from other places, last year there were also people from the sea who clashed with the people of the Xu family, originally they were all trading at sea and could not see officials, but the Xu family actually transferred local officers and soldiers to suppress it, which shocked everyone at that time."

Wang Tong's fleet entered the canal again in Danyang, the capital city of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and then headed all the way east, at the junction of Zhenjiang Mansion and Changzhou Mansion was a small town called Benniu.

After passing the card of Benniu Town, it is to enter Changzhou Mansion, this area is a flat river, the water is vertical and horizontal, only to enter the boundary of Changzhou Mansion, Wang Tong noticed that there are horse teams on both sides of the canal to follow.

If it is in the north, a team with a total of less than thirty horses cannot be called a horse team, but in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many ships and few horses, which is already a horse team.

The horse team is moving fast, even if there is a river or something like that on the way, you can use a ferry to cross it, and then catch up, although the chase stops, you can Wang Tong's eyesight, naturally will not be blinded, these people on horseback are staring at Wang Tong's side.

"At least four of the boats on this river are staring at us."

Jiangnan Water Town, the scenery on both sides of the strait is quite wonderful in this season, Wang Tong is also often active on the bow deck, Shi Qi and others accompany him, they naturally see clearly.

"Look at them, although these people are lawless, they don't dare to move the ship of Qincha, and those things in Nanjing should also tell them what they should be afraid of."

Wang Tong said coldly, he turned to look at the other side, Liu Saburo on his side adjusted his position, so that he did not block Wang Tong's sight, and at the same time, if there was any move on the river, he could cover it with his body in this direction, Wang Tong was not really there to enjoy the scenery, he said in a deep voice:

"When Hai Jui gave me the list, he already explained that many people on it had died, and many of them had disappeared, and Lu Da also said that when he was wandering around the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, he heard some rumors, saying that in those years, some people died in the area of Songjiang, Suzhou, and Changzhou, all of which were related to this encroachment on the land."

"Didn't Hou Ye also say that this time His Majesty arranged for Hou Ye to go out of Beijing, but to let Hou Ye take a break outside, the case of the Xu family in Songjiang encroaching on the fields, and now the clues that are revealed are already shocking, and the Xu family's own power is like this, if you really investigate it"

Wang Tong shook his head, but did not answer, there was already an impeachment of the official on the Jingshi's side, saying that Wang Tong harbored evil intentions, coveted the family property, and intended to frame, and some people in the court also said at the court meeting, Xu Ge Lao and Xu Shilang worked hard when they were officials in the court, for the country and the people, Xu Ge Lao had just died for two years, and the court sent someone to investigate and deal with it, which inevitably chilled the mind of the corporal in the world to be an official.

The most vicious thing is that Wang Tong is resentful of Emperor Wanli's marriage, and wants to make things bigger, set off a bloody storm in the south of the Yangtze River, and shake the national capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Wanli ignored the cold statement, and sent someone to reprimand and even give a lesson to punish the country, but on the whole, it was still painless.

This attitude knows that everyone who knows the inside story understands that the left and right sent Wang Tong out to distract themselves, and Wang Tong wants to do whatever he wants, although the will says that the Xu family will investigate the occupation of the land, but this matter is complicated and extremely troublesome, and I don't expect to find out anything this time.

Therefore, the will only said to investigate, not to find out the results, and Emperor Wanli's advice also said to let Wang Tong take a look at the Jiangnan tax.

When Wang Tong and his entourage left Nanjing, the officials saw them off, and people were staring at them from afar and near day and night, and it was impossible and unnecessary to hide their whereabouts.

Not long after Benniu Town, there were official ships from Changzhou Prefecture coming to respond, but following the fleet, the horse teams on both sides of the strait did not disperse, they still followed, the horse teams were on the bright side, and these official ships that came to greet them were estimated to have spies staring at the fleet, and everyone knew it.

It is the business of the Lord Qincha to cross the border, whether to stay or not to stay, but the local government must do all the greeting etiquette, otherwise the Lord Qincha will say a few words after returning to Beijing and find some faults, which will be a disaster from heaven.

For Wang Tong, the left and right are out to relax, since the place is so grand, it is also good to stop and deal with it, all the way to this posture, you can imagine how boring it will be after going to Songjiang Mansion to run an errand.

In fact, it is not very interesting to stop the boat and socialize with local officials, just go through a fixed procedure and say some kind words.

"Qincha came to Changzhou, and the fathers and elders of Changzhou were all bright-faced, and the local fathers and elders prepared thin wine in the restaurant to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Qincha lord."

The prefect of Changzhou is very flattering, and the officials behind him are all smiling, all of them are flattering, and the shore is beating gongs and drums according to the regulations, which is very lively, but the crowd seems to be a little commotion, and the prefect of Changzhou also frowned and looked back, I don't know what happened, so embarrassing the face of Changzhou.
