Above the West Lake, there is a two-story painting boat, and two petite and delicate boat girls are singing softly with pipa in their arms in the hospitality warehouse on the first floor. Yang Chengzu and Zhejiang Patrol sat opposite Zhang Jiayin, there were dried and fresh fruits on the table, and the tea soup was fragrant in the teacup, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

As a provincial governor in Zhejiang, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, a local gentry in Zhejiang, and a Confucian, many people take Zhang Jiayin as an insurance against Yang Chengzu. On the surface, the two are indeed secretly hostile, but only a few people know that they are just singing a double reed.

Zhang Jiayin's fingers tapped the paddle on the table, and looked at Yang Chengzu in the tune of the two boat girls, "Brother Xian, you are a famous Fengliu genius in the country, and I don't know how many times you have been there, why do you look like a chick now?" Do you want me to call Yang Sheng'an and Huang Jin too, and the four of us will be more lively as a group. ”

"Dude, if you're not afraid of fame, I'm fine. You two, this is the Eight Mansions patrol mentioned in the play, who specializes in redressing grievances for others. Serve him well, and you can settle any grievances you have, and you can avenge your revenge. ”

The two boat ladies are both Hangzhou Qinglou's top brand Oiran, and they know what role they play, so they laugh and open the topic, which not only makes Zhang Jiayin feel embarrassed, but also makes Yang Chengzu feel that he is actually really intimate with him. The most important thing is to convince the two nobles that their sisters are very strict and will not leak the content of this meeting.

"Brother Xian, can you do this trick or not, now there are many connections to me, asking me to cut off these captives indiscriminately. After all, they are all pirates, and now not only do you not kill, but you still have to raise them, and watch them play, as if you have become an uncle. There are a lot of people gossiping, saying that you are raising self-respect. ”

"They're smart, and the hat is nice, and if they know that I'm not only going to keep robbers, but I'm going to let them go, I don't know what they'd think."

"Put? Don't be kidding, that's a wolf, and now whoever gets involved in the side of the wolf is a capital crime, and you want to release people? But if it's two or three, the foolish brother may be able to think of a way. ”

"No, no, it's not two or three, it's all of them, I'm going to put them. This is a matter of military affairs, and cannot be left to the thoughts of those gentry. They say that it is a pleasure to kill people, but it is just killing people and killing people. These little minions, how many do you want, what's the use of killing as many as you want? The kindness of the eldest brother, the little brother understands, but this pot is too big, you can't carry it, so I'll carry it. ”

Zhang Jiayin naturally believed in Yang Chengzu's strategy, after all, not everyone could come back by capturing four big ships with a plan. In fact, the current pressure on the gentry, he himself feels, in the final analysis, it is Yang Chengzu's battle that is too good.

The merchants of Ningbo liked the New Army, but the gentry of Zhejiang, as well as the patriarchs of the big clans and the Confucians, did not like the New Army. But under pressure, none of them can really stand up and say that the new army should not exist. But in the back, they still spared no effort to use some means and elbows.

"Brother Xian, those people have been looking for your fault, I have received your materials in my hand, you know how many, some things, even have to lose their heads. For example, some time ago, when you took your stepmother to visit the West Lake, someone said something very unpleasant, but fortunately, there is an old brother, and you should always be pressed down. But their relationship is not only me, but even through the sky. You...... It's self-sufficient. We are changing the sticker brothers, this pot, you can't always let you carry it, you are alone, and you can carry a few pots. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled, he took the Liu family to visit the West Lake, and he didn't want to hide it, most of those people said that their mother and son were not innocent, if this kind of gossip was also afraid, then it would be impossible to live. At least in those days, Liu was very happy, the look on his face was like a little girl, he could see that scene, and he didn't regret being criticized no matter how he was criticized.

If these people knew that when Jiajing was the prince, he once took Fan's hand and ran around in the garden of the palace, what should they think? In the final analysis, these people still don't like themselves, so whatever they do is wrong. They have their hands and eyes to the sky, and it is not difficult to find some of their unclean places.

Even if there is no matter of taking the Liu family to the lake, whether it is Yang Ji's business activities, or accepting the filial piety of the southeast military guards, in short, if you want to find black spots, there are flaws all over your body, so you don't expect others to find them.

Those ministers who do things, from being full of ambition to ending hastily, are actually the same reason. Since it's a human being, who hasn't had a short board? was grabbed by someone, and the top may not really be able to support himself, and over time, he became discouraged and lazy, so he simply let it go, and everything went with him.

Like this kind of friendship between himself and the Son of Heaven, but it is an advantage that others do not have, such a thing as Tongtian, will you be afraid?

On the contrary, Zhang Jiayin, the old brother, is good to himself, he really treats himself as a brother, he is patrolling the imperial history, and it is said that he should check and balance himself. Now he is on his side, and in the future, I am afraid that he will inevitably offend others.

"Big brother, my idea of putting everyone together this time is part of my plan. They think I'm using a scheme for four broken ships and a few hundred pirates? Joke. I'm using myself as bait, is that all I mean? Let those guys wait and see what I do. The entire southeast coast of the Japanese Gang was formed overnight, but the Black Shark Gang has only been in existence for 50 years, and there are two generations of gang leaders before and after. If I can't slaughter this stinky shark, what face will I have to do this? ”

Zhang Jiayin nodded, "The Black Shark Gang, in fact, I have heard about it here, but it is a very strange thing, although I have received a lot of cases, but the ones that fell on the Black Shark Gang are actually limited." Some people actually say that they are maritime merchants? Maritime? A maritime merchant who kills people and sets fires? Brother Xian, what plan do you have Although Brother Yu is a lowly official, but since he is doing this patrol, there are always some people who can use it, you just have to rest assured, I will definitely try my best to help you complete this plan. ”

Half a month later, all of the captives were released, except for those who had committed suicide and concealed their identities and were reported or arrested. According to the imperial court, it is to give them a chance to reform themselves, so that they have the opportunity to be good again. Among the released captives, dozens of them immediately expressed their willingness to serve as soldiers, and if they were not qualified to serve as soldiers, they would become masters, even if they were cannon fodder. I don't want military salaries, and I'm not afraid of death, I just want to do something for the court and make up for the mistakes I have made.
