Qin Kan's heart quickly sank to the bottom, and his face instantly became ugly.

Jinyiwei's prison is easy to say, if Du Hong falls into the hands of the people in Dongchang, he really doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Everything has a benefit and a harm, with the current bad relationship between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Qin Kan's father-in-law's identity will definitely harm Du Hong's life in the hands of Dongchang's fanzi, after all, since Qin Kan entered Beijing, Dongchang has been from Wang Yue, the factory governor to the ordinary fanzi below, and he hates Qin Kan to the bone, and now his father-in-law has fallen into the hands of Dongchang, can he end up well?

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Kan's forehead slightly, and the fists in his sleeves clenched quietly.

"Mu Shuai, can you tell me what's going on? Why was Jiayue imprisoned? ”

Mu Bin was silent for a while, and said: "A few years ago, the Shaoxing weavers made trouble, saying that the local Zhejiang businessmen colluded with the Suzhou Weaving Bureau to supervise the eunuchs to exploit the weavers, and the Shaoxing prefect Du Hong did not know anything, and when the eunuch Wang Peng Shaoxing was inspected, he allowed more than 1,000 weavers to impact Wang Peng's official post, and in the chaos, the eunuch Wang Peng, the eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, was beaten to death, there is another inside story in this matter, so I put on a notebook and asked the cabinet to investigate it strictly......"

Qin Kan was confused: "What is the matter with the Suzhou Weaving Bureau in Shaoxing?" ”

Mu Bin squinted at Qin Kan, the new Ding Xiaobai in the officialdom, sighed, and told him the reason.

Jiangnan silk is famous all over the world, especially Suzhou silk, as early as the Yongle period of the imperial court in Suzhou to build a weaving bureau, send the internal affairs of the eunuch full-time supervision, its finished products in addition to the palace inside, but also heavy taxes dumped the world, so famous silk. It is naturally impossible for the weavers of Suzhou alone to meet the needs of the world. So the eunuchs were supervised to expand the production area to the surrounding prefectures and counties, such as Hangzhou and Shaoxing. There are weavers in Ningbo and other prefectures, and many merchants in Zhejiang have also set up workshops and contracted the silk production of the weaving bureau. Suzhou Weaving Bureau provides raw silk every year, issues production tasks, and receives it after completion by the supervising eunuchs, and then named Suzhou silk.

I have to say that the people of this era are still very smart, the production and management philosophy is very advanced, quite in line with the way of modern enterprise brand contract production and sales, the germ of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty was born from the south of the Yangtze River, and the open thinking of the Jiangnan people promoted the rapid development of the silk textile industry.

With a product, it is natural to sell. So a few Zhejiang businessmen who were unwilling to be lonely got involved, and the status of the businessmen was lowly, but they were rich. If you have money, even ghosts are willing to help grind. It is natural to let a few eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau and a few officials of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department push and grind.

It's a good thing that a few businessmen mixed in it, and the taste changed.

Du Hong said that the Weaving Bureau and the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department colluded with each other. Although Qin Kan and his father-in-law do not like each other, they still know a lot about his father-in-law's character, and what he dares to say must be true.

Mu Bin sighed and said, "Your father-in-law is really ...... The eunuchs of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the envoys of the Zhejiang Cloth Administration have the background of the Beijing Imperial Court, and your father-in-law is just a prefect, why provoke them? Isn't it true that some things are covered and everyone is happy? The doesn't stink, if you have to get a stick to pick up the, can it not stink? ”

Qin Kan arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Jinyiwei is accused of taking my father-in-law?" ”

Mu Bin said: "Dereliction of duty, careless of human life." The weaver attacked the eunuch official post of the superintendent, although he killed the eunuch Wang Peng, but more than a dozen weavers also died in the chaos, and the eunuch was quite bad in the folk style, and he died, but the lives of these dozen weavers could not be resigned. I don't know who spread the word, saying that Du Hong instructed someone to kill the weaver, the scholars in Jiangnan were instigated, the scholars gathered in Shaoxing, and criticized Du Hong. ”

Qin Kan exclaimed: "Impossible! Jiayue came forward to seek justice for the weavers, how could he kill the weavers? ”

Mu Bin sneered: "The official word has two mouths, and you can say whatever it says, this is how the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department played, and the cabinet is the one who gave the Jinyi Wei a note according to this crime, as for the truth, hehe, only God knows." ”

Qin Kan's eyelids jumped, and he gradually realized that the seriousness of the matter was much more than he had imagined.

"Dare to ask Mu Shuai, if this crime is sentenced, how will it be sentenced?"

"What else can you do except ask the queen of autumn? It doesn't matter if Wang Peng is dead, the key is the lives of the dozen weavers, the scholars in Jiangnan are in trouble, can the court ignore them? The people who read this year...... Gee. Mu Bin wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but he felt that his words were too wrong, so he stopped talking with a few disdainful cold snorts.

"Why did the people from Dongchang take this case?"

"That Wang Peng is a eunuch from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and he can be described as the same as Dongchang, the eunuch is dead, how can Dongchang not come out?" Mu Bin sighed: "I didn't expect that Du Hong was your father-in-law, I thought that if they wanted to take over, I would let them take over, which just saved Jinyiwei a lot of trouble, but I never thought about it...... Alas, if I knew this, I should have tried my best to hold on to Du Hong, in the hands of our Jinyiwei, there may still be room for things to turn around, but it's a pity ......"

"Is Jiayue imprisoned in Nanjing?"

"Du Hong has been detained in Shaoxing City for a few days, and now I am afraid that he is on his way to Nanjing, it is said that it was ordered by Wang Yue of Dongchang himself......" Mu Bin looked at him with some guilt: "Qin Kan, I wanted to help you with this, but you also know the relationship between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, I am afraid that I can't speak in Dongchang, if the matter is reported to His Majesty, this matter will be placed on the golden palace of the court, and the power of the inner court and the Zhejiang political envoy in the court of Beijing, I am afraid that your father-in-law will not be able to escape to death, so this matter must not be put on the table." ”

Qin Kan nodded, and waved at Mu Bin and said, "Thank you for Mu Shuai's advice, the lower officials have saved it." ”

Bidding farewell to Mu Bin, Qin Kan's face was blue when he walked out of Beizhen Fusi.

He knew that things were in trouble, his father-in-law's life was in danger, the black and white of the matter was no longer important, the important thing was to save Du Hong's life first, the torture equipment in Dongchang was said to be more exciting than the Jinyi Wei Prison, I am afraid that Du Hong's old bones would not survive for a few days.

What Qin Kan has to do now is to compete with the people in Dongchang for time, before Du Hong is escorted to Nanjing. Make arrangements in advance.

Out of the Pacification Division. Qin Kan immediately found Xu Pengju, who was still idle in Beijing, and was shocked when he heard that Qin Kan's father-in-law was in prison. The two discussed carefully for a long time, and after half an hour, they set off from Beijing on a fast horse. Towards Nanjing.

In the end, Mu Bin regarded Qin Kan as a confidant, although he couldn't help much, but he also specially approved the 800-mile urgent military post, the so-called "800-mile urgent report", which refers to the day and night at all costs, every time the post station changes people and horses, it doesn't matter if people and horses are tired to death, the news must be delivered in the fastest time.

****************************************************************

I don't know what the truth of the matter is, I didn't see Du Hong before. Qin Kan didn't believe anything anyone said, Mu Bin had a sentence that was wrong, and the truth of the matter was nothing but God knows. Du Hong must also know the way. What can be done now is to save his life first, and then slowly figure it out.

Qin Kan couldn't help but be a little happy. I am glad that I have formed a lot of good relationships with the children of the Marquis of a cadre when I was a thousand households in Nanjing, and some interpersonal relationships seem to be dispensable, but at critical moments, they will always play a miraculous role.

…………

…………

Nanjing City, Kyoto, Ming Dynasty.

Dongchang did not set up a formal organization in Nanjing, belonged to the walking yamen, only rented a house in Dongcheng as a permanent residence, the general person in charge of Dongchang in Nanjing is a thousand households, surnamed Liu, Mingzhi.

Liu Zhi is in his forties, although he is not a eunuch, but he also worships Wang Yue as his godfather, and he can be described as a powerful person in the East Factory.

During the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang did not have its own prison, and ordinary prisoners were escorted to Jinyi Wei Prison for the same trial, and if there were some special prisoners, they were detained by the fans to private prisons for strict care.

The so-called private prison is actually a prison where the door and window of a side room are changed to iron bars.

This afternoon, Liu Zhigang came back from the Qinglou, and then took a hot bath comfortably at home, washed away the sweat stains that flowed from the exercise on a certain red prostitute just now, and the fan below respectfully brought him a fragrant tea, squinted his eyes and took a sip, sighing with satisfaction.

"Lord Qianhu, Du Hong of Shaoxing Mansion has been escorted to Nanjing, locked in a backyard room, and has been shackled to him."

Liu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a bit of cold light in his eyes.

Du Hong finally came, the factory man had already written to explain, this Du Hong must be taken care of in a good life, and the factory man personally explained the characters to be taken care of, naturally he Liu Zhi personally took care of him, and taught him that life is better than death, and he took off a layer of skin in life to be worthy of the factory father's instructions.

"According to the old rules, let's talk about miscellaneous things first." Liu Zhi got up and commanded lightly.

"Miscellaneous treatment" is the rule of the factory guard to judge prisoners, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, they will be punished first when they enter the prison, and they will continue to be punished if they are guilty, and they are not guilty, sorry, you think you are unlucky for the punishment you received before. The plague god sent a plague to the world, who has ever heard the plague god apologize to the people in the world afterwards? If you can count your fate, you can't stand kicking your legs, and reporting to the top is nothing more than "committing suicide in prison".

Since he is an important prisoner personally confessed by the factory father, this time the miscellaneous treatment must naturally be handled by Liu Zhi himself, otherwise how can he show his filial piety to the factory father?

Liu Zhi led more than a dozen people to the private prison in the backyard, and ordered someone to open the door, the dark room was stinking, and a disgusting smell came to his nose, making Liu Zhi cover his nose in disgust.

A ray of sunlight poured into the chamber, Du Hong was wearing a white prison suit, his hands and feet were shackled with thumb-thick shackles, and a flail weighing more than 20 catties was hung around his neck, sitting in the corner of the room in despair, with his head high and his eyes contemptuous.

There are a lot of scars on the exposed skin on the face, and it seems that they have suffered a lot on the way from Shaoxing to Nanjing.

Liu Zhi smiled: "I have long heard that Master Du is the father-in-law of Jingshi Jinyi Wei Qin Kan, and I don't know how I feel if I have fallen into such a situation at this moment?" ”

Du Hong snorted contemptuously and turned his head away.

Liu Zhi was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for speaking ugly, you are old and confused, I'm afraid that you have recruited the wrong son-in-law, your son-in-law is the harmful spirit of Jingshi, and the person surnamed Qin is a little smarter in Jingshi, for the sake of the same branch of the factory guard, I will not be difficult for you, but unfortunately, you are an old fool, and your son-in-law is a Leng Touqing, falling into the hands of our Dongchang, Lord Du, we have a fate." ”

In vain, he had already fallen into such a situation, Du Hong looked away, smiled when he heard this, and said coldly in a hoarse voice: "Don't talk so much nonsense, what means do you have to use it on the old man, the old man behaves rightly, stands upright, worthy of the court, worthy of His Majesty, you eunuch lackeys are not qualified to be verbose in front of the old man!" ”

Liu Zhi's smile gradually turned cold: "Okay, Du Hong, I'll see how long your old bones can last, and when you taste all the things in our East Factory, you can still laugh, I call you Dad!" ”

Saying that, Liu Zhi beckoned, and the fans carried a few baskets of bloodstained torture instruments, and the fans in charge of the punishment picked up a set of fixtures in the basket first.

The clamp is the lightest of all the torture tools, its two hemp ropes will string more than ten small iron bars into a line, the iron bars are covered with sharp and sharp iron nails, put it between the prisoner's fingers, the two of them are facing outward, the iron nails pass through the flesh, ten fingers will have a sharp pain, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, this set of the simplest torture tools often makes countless heroes bow their heads and confess.

Rudely pulled Du Hong's fingers, and when the fans were about to put it on the torture instrument, a fan came in a hurry outside.

"Lord Qianhu, Liu An, the son of the Marquis of Ningyuan, sent someone to deliver a letter......

Liu Zhi frowned and muttered, "Liu An? I have no contact with him......"

Unfolded the letter and hurriedly glanced at it a few times, Liu Zhi's face suddenly became ugly, Tie Qing crumpled the letter into a ball, threw it casually, and said angrily: "What a big breath!" What about the honorable? Don't you dare to offend you? Torture me! Du Hong, today's king Lao Tzu can't protect you! ”

The fans were about to continue the torture, and another fan came in a hurry.

"Lord Qianhu, Chengshan Bowang Yong sent someone to deliver a letter."

Liu Zhi's eyelids jumped a few times, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Unfolded the letter and read it carefully, his face became more and more pale, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, Liu Zhi said viciously: "Continue to torture me!" No one buys face today, see what you can do with me! ”

As soon as the words fell, several fans came at the same time and hurriedly said: "My lord, Yuan Yuan, the son of the Marquis of Guangping, sent someone to deliver a letter......

"My lord, Liu Xun, the son of Marquis An Yuan, sent someone to deliver a letter......

"My lord, Mr. Xu sent someone to deliver a letter......

Liu Zhi's brain exploded, and his expression became nervous: "Xu ...... Xu Lao Guogong? Which Xu Lao Guogong? ”

Fanzi said with a bitter face: "Of course, it is the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Xu in Nanjing." ”

Liu Zhi's face turned green, and other nobles could ignore it, but Wei Guogong ...... That's the grandfather of the country who is in charge of Nanjing's military power, and when the factory prince sees him, he has to accompany the big man with a smile to take the first salute, what is he Liu Zhi in front of Xu Lao Guogong? Fart doesn't count!

Trembling Suo Suo unfolded Xu Lao Guogong's letter, and as soon as he read two lines, Liu Zhi's face became more and more miserable.

When he was standing in the courtyard in a daze, another fan came in a hurry.

"My lord, Wu Jingbo Zhao Chengqing ......"

Liu Zhi was about to collapse, pulling his hair like crazy and shouting: "What day is today!" What is the origin of this surnamed Du, is he the godfather of all the nobles in Nanjing? It's too much of a bully! Wu Jingbo also sent someone to deliver a letter? ”

Fanzi looked embarrassed and said, "Wu Jingbo didn't send a letter......

Liu Zhi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Fanzi continued: "Wu Jingbo came in person, brought a group of domestic servants, and was scolding the street at our door......
