Chapter 327: One Man's Battle (Part II)
There are pirates in the South China Sea, there are river pirates in the Yangtze River, and there are also lake pirates in Pengli Lake. Pengli Lake is Poyang Lake, the area is large, and it is irregular shape, there is no enclosure and polder now, the lake is full of reeds and cocoons, there are many sandbanks in the lake, the terrain is complex and unimaginable.
Since ancient times, lake thieves have always existed, but they are not thieves like Shuibo Liangshan, they pick up a big knife and board someone else's cargo ship, they are big thieves, and they put down their weapons and become fishermen and farmers. The general government is powerless to crack these cases, and unless it is a big and important case, they will turn a blind eye.
After the Jiangzhou tragedy, many people escaped from Pengli Lake and became fishermen and lake thieves, and Zhang Ji was helpless about it. Among them, there are several gangs that are quite famous, and there is a group of people, the leader is called Luo Da, and some people are called poisonous foxes.
Today, Mingqi took the original Jiangzhou people to make trouble, Song Jiu arrived, Zhang Ji and Gu Tong went to greet him, but the city was arresting and suppressing, but Jiangzhou is now only a grass creation, and there are not many officials, so he pushed and made trouble far away, or Mingqi couldn't bear the people to be beaten by the officials, and took the initiative to succumb. This commotion passed through the houses of the two families, both of which were not far from the state government, and the people in the house poured out with their families to watch the excitement.
Luo Da and his subordinates also inadvertently entered the city, which had nothing to do with him, but when he saw the two family members coming out with his subordinates, he had an idea and climbed into the house of the two families from behind.
The two received a lot of bribes, but in broad daylight, Luo Da and his subordinates didn't dare to rummage through it for too long, and it was not easy to carry, and when they were in trouble, they inadvertently turned over their bribery books.
Luo Da has been in Pengli Lake for a long time, and his brain is very flexible. reacted immediately, and immediately ordered his men to inform the other group. I didn't bring anything with me, and I found the account book. Then he left a letter to redeem the two books, and one person prepared 100,000 yuan, otherwise the book would be published to the public.
Then he left with his men.
Did you take away some precious gold and silver fine, I don't know how to do it now, and the reaction warehouse was in a mess, but the two account books were definitely missing.
Gu Tong and Zhang Ji froze.
They made a lot of money, but they won't have 100,000 yuan, and it's not the two of them who are making it. The money in their hands should also be taken out and dotted up and down. Where is there a hundred thousand.
Gu Tong scolded bitterly at first, let Zhang Ji hold it, and said softly: "Brother Gu, don't worry, immediately search for this Luo Da." ”
"It's hard to search."
"Money can make ghosts grind, don't be reluctant."
"There is also Song Jiu in the city."
"He's just an empty shelf, what are you afraid of? Besides, the next time this person contacts you, find a way to keep them at bay. ”
However, Zhang Ji also inexplicably developed a sense of fear. So many things happened today, is it a coincidence, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Song Jiu.
There was silence for a moment. Said: "It's really not good, kill!" ”
"Kill whom?"
Zhang Ji numbled his mouth, which was the direction in which Song Jiu was looking for a house.
"Zhang Zhizhou. I can't......"
"It's not hard, find some reason. There is a chance to stir up some trouble, and he just arrived today. There was a disturbance in the Ming Dynasty, and the account books were out of the way, which was too coincidental, and I doubted him. ”
"Was it given by Song Jiu?"
"I don't know, you check carefully, if it's him, kill him!"
Gu Tong shuddered.
……
Wang Zhen covered his nose with his hands, he and Song Jiu were looking for a house, if it was the two of them, the house would be easier to find, but there would be many people coming later, and the house could not be small, but the slightly better houses were all occupied by the big merchants in Jiangbei.
The two of them went all the way to the north, and there was a house not far from the city wall, the house was not small, and there was a small garden, but because it was close to the city wall, most of it was destroyed by stone bullets.
Song Jiu walked in with Wang Zhen.
It has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is gray and covered with many cobwebs, and the smell is extremely unpleasant.
Song Jiudao: "That's it." ”
"Here?"
"Well, tomorrow I will send someone to tidy up and repair it, and it will still be a good house. And it's quieter too, which I like. ”
The king was silent.
The last thing the Song family lacks is money.
But I can't stay here tonight, Song Jiu said again: "Let's go find an inn and live first." ”
It's a must, but not to start that inn, it's another.
Just as he was about to find an inn, Liu brought Ru'er to greet him, Ying Ying gave a salute and said, "The concubine has seen Song Gong." ”
"Don't be polite."
"You're really a new Taishou." Ru'er said.
“……”
"Then what do you say is a messenger?"
"I am the emperor's courtier, I came to Jiangzhou to serve as the Taishou, I am the emperor's envoy, and I will be transferred at any time, isn't it a post envoy?" Song Jiudao looked at Liu again: "Lady Liu, I know about your affairs, and I can understand you if you find Gu Tong's judgment." Just like the people of Jiangbei who moved to Jiangzhou in a big way, I can understand it better. However, there is a clear distinction between public and private, and private cannot be public, do you understand? ”
"Song Gong ......"
"What else are you going to say?"
"Did we do something wrong?"
"What is right and wrong, is wrong, can this official move these people back to Jiangbei again?"
The answer given by Song Jiu is not the answer.
After saying that, he led the horse and left.
did not warn Liu not to leak it to Gu Tongju, how to choose to let Liu decide for himself.
When they came to the inn, they stayed first, and then began to eat, when a young man came to them, and when no one noticed, he handed a small bag and put it on Song Jiu's knees. Song Jiu understood, came to the back and looked at it, the joy of joy is that the above accounts are remembered very clearly, and the names of the officials involved are also recorded, but the disappointment is that there is no name of Zhao Pu. Or there is, but it is not Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu's cronies, just like when Feng Zan sent money to Zhao Kuangyi, but not to Zhao Kuangyi, but to Kaifeng Judge Liu Zhang.
This person's relationship is not clear to Song Jiu, but someone is clear, Zhao Kuangyi.
Before coming to Jiangzhou, thinking of the major events that would happen in the near future, Song Jiu was still a little uneasy, but after coming to Jiangzhou, Song Jiu gradually became indifferent.
But Song Jiu didn't plan to keep these two account books, and after reading them, he handed them to Wang Zhen, who found another opportunity to hand them to the young man.
can't put it in your own hands, continue to put it in Chen Qiu's hands.
Then the two of them went out for a walk, they didn't have much luggage, only a change of clothes, the important thing was the seal, and the rest was left in the inn.
After turning around for a while, Song Jiu looked at the luggage in the room and whispered, "Little pillow, they have looked through it." ”
"Jiurou, how much money are they greedy for?"
"Tens of thousands, mostly precious jewelry and jade, not easy to estimate."
"They're crazy." Wang Zhendao.
With Song Jiu, Wang Zhen's knowledge has gradually broadened, and tens of thousands of dollars of wealth are nothing to the Song family, but how much money did the Song family donate in disguise? That's an astronomical amount, but without these disguised donations, these money silks will turn into poison for the Song family.
This is the Song family.
For ordinary people, how huge is tens of thousands of dollars?
Even the corrupt officials who were executed in these years, some of whom were only greedy for seven or eight hundred dollars, were abandoned and executed.
"They're not crazy, but they're crazy now."
"Jiulang, what if they catch that Luo Da?"
"Pengli Lake is so big, a little bit of rumors have been released, saying that the government wants to arrest them, be wary, can this cunning lake thief catch it?"
Wang Zhen shook his head, this person only heard his name, and even Chen Qiu, who was staying by Pengli Lake, didn't know what he looked like, and he was arrested.
"Besides, how much time do they have left?"
Song Jiu was confident, but he was puzzled over there.
"Isn't it ...... him?"
"Or in a few days, when they are unprepared, go in and look for it."
"Brother Gu, that's it."
"It's better not him."
"It's best for him, if he sees the long term, everyone is fine, if he wants to deal with us, remember, no matter how big his background is, he is always alone, and a person can have a few chances of winning when he fights, and Jiangzhou is so chaotic. But it's not easy to catch the poisonous fox. ”
Each scheming begins.
The next day, Song Jiu behaved very naturally and continued to discuss the matter of the coinage supervisor.
It is a great achievement, Song Jiu may not care about the credit, but this thick credit Gu Zhang and the others both cared. In fact, they thought wrong, Song Jiu also cared, and if it was implemented, it would be implemented, if it could not be implemented, and it would be mixed into the political struggle, some people could not care about what political achievements they did or not, and God knows when it will be implemented.
After a few days, Zhang Ji and Gu Tongju still didn't find a clue, and Zhang Ji had to go back to Raozhou. Peng Lihu is so big, there are Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, and Raozhou, he returned to Raozhou, and the two cooperated, making it easier to capture Luo Da.
Song Jiu came to see him off and said goodbye to Zhang Ji.
This made Zhang Ji feel extremely puzzled, could it be that he was wrong.
Gu Tong also thought that Zhang Ji's analysis was wrong, and he didn't have the courage to really kill Song Jiu. That would pierce the sky.
However, Song Jiu's next actions made him continue to be puzzled.
Because he promised Mingqi, Song Jiu issued an official document, and the people of Jiangbei came to operate and farm, and Jiangzhou warmly welcomed it, but there was one article, whether it was a house or land, it was a lease, but this lease did not pay rent. If the original owner returns, everyone will negotiate and settle it. The Law on How to Negotiate does not mention the house and land previously occupied.
Then Song Jiu said to Gu Tongju: "Jiangzhou affairs will be handed over to you first, and I will go down and take a turn." ”
"How's that going to work?"
"You and Zhang Zhizhou have done a good job in Jiangzhou, and the government affairs will be handed over to you, I can rest assured, and you will also send this book to the court for me." Song Jiu handed over the coin casting plan co-written by the three of them to Gu Tongju.
Then he ran to the mouth of the lake with the king's pillow.
Song Jiu's attitude made the second monk of Gu Tong puzzled.
Ming Qi didn't say that he was greedy for ink, and Ming Qi didn't dare to say it without evidence. Gu Tong didn't know if Song Jiu had any suspicions, but there must be unfairness in Jiangzhou.
Song Jiu had pity on the original people of Jiangzhou, otherwise he would not have come for a third bow. However, there was no movement at all, only a public document. Gu Tongju looked at the backs of the two leaving, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that this person really values the overall situation? (To be continued......)
