Chapter 084: Mutual Schemes
Pan Hongjia's proposal, Qin Xuan finally didn't agree immediately, and blurted out: "Master Pan, this matter is very important, let's let the lower officials think about it!" ”
In desperation, Zhihao retreated and blurted out: "Okay, I still hope that Qin County will make good students consider!" The old man wants to go to the prison to meet Jin'er, can it be convenient for the Qin County Order? ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then politely refused apologetically: "Lord Pan, the lower official still has to go to the Nanqu River to inspect the matter of the river embankment, let's go another day, another day, the lower official should accompany the adult to the prison!" ”
Pan Hongjia drank a glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "Since Qin County Ling has official business, then Qin County Ling doesn't have to accompany the old man, the old man will go by himself, hehe......"
Looking at Pan Hongjia's smile, Qin Xuan was speechless, seeing that his shirk had not been achieved, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, laughed dryly, and had no choice but to nod and agree.
Pan Hongjia left the county government and walked towards Yuhang Prison, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a wicked smile, and he laughed at Qin Xuan with disdain in his heart: A hairy boy who has not dried up should also be against the old man, if it weren't for this juncture, how could the old man bow his head and bend his knots and do this kind of delaying the army......
In prison, when Jiang Ke entered the cell, Pan Hongjia heard Jiang Kejin's scolding: "You dogs, when Lao Tzu's uncle will go out, you will all be unable to eat and walk around......"
Pan Hongjia frowned unconsciously, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: Jin'er, it's so reckless, what's the use of yelling in prison!
After walking dozens of steps, when he came to Jiang Kejin's cell, he saw Jiang Kejin squatting on the ground, his head down, and his mouth was still swearing. Pan Hongjia snorted coldly, and shouted softly through the wooden fence: "You bastard, don't make noise again!" ”
When Jiang Kejin heard the sound, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Pan Hongjia, he instantly came to his senses, threw himself on the wooden fence, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle, help me!" ”
Pan Hongjia's eyes moved to the left, signaled to Jiang Kejin, and snorted coldly: "You still have the face to say!" ”
Jiang Kejin followed Pan Hongjia's eyes, glanced to the left, and saw a jailer standing beside him pretending to be fine, and immediately understood, but he still couldn't control the fear of death in his heart, and cried: "Uncle, I really don't want to die!" ”
Pan Hongjia nodded slightly, and sighed: "This matter is all because of your misdeeds, corruption and perversion of the law, my uncle is negotiating with Qin County Order, hoping to spend some money and leave your life." However, this matter will not be successful overnight, and it needs to be considered in the long run! ”
Pan Hongjia's four words of "long-term consideration" slightly aggravated the tone, Jiang Kejin heard it clearly, even if he understood that Pan Hongjia did not give up on himself, he followed Pan Hongjia's words and begged: "Uncle, as long as I can leave my life, I will definitely change my past!" ”
Pan Hongjia sighed and said, "Okay, at this special season, you must think about it, maybe you can be fine!" ”
Pan Hongjia's words seemed to be nothing, but Jiang Kejin knew that his uncle was telling him that there was something special at this time, and it was inconvenient to fall out with Qin Xuan. cooperated with Pan Hongjia, nodded fiercely, and cried: "Uncle, I know!" ”
said that Qin Xuan, after Pan Hongjia left, fell into contemplation, and he was still not sure of his mind after thinking for a long time. Thinking of returning to the county government from the Nanqu River, Yang immediately left the county government in a hurry and went straight to the Nanqu River.
On the south bank of the Nanqu River, Yang Linqiu was also uneasy in his heart, although Fang Xuanling gave him a life amulet, or a hole card. But if the enemy is made aware of this little thing, and then he is on guard, the matter of the salt tax will no longer be able to be investigated.
The absent-minded Yang Linqiu stood by the river embankment, without his previous seriousness, and he didn't worry about the river workers anymore. The river workers are still working hard, using stone and lime. Yang Linqiu, who had been watching in the distance, finally saw Qin Xuan hurriedly running towards the river embankment, and without hesitation, he lifted the hem of his robe and hurried up to meet him.
In a moment, the two rushed together. Qin Xuan didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Pan Hongjia is actually going to take out 100,000 taels of silver, let the official leave Jiang Kejin's life, and also said that if Jiang Kejin can be released from prison within the year, he will donate another 100,000 taels to the Yuhang County Ya!" ”
Yang Linqiu looked around for a long time, rubbing his hands and falling into deep thought. After a long time, he smiled slightly and said, "Pan Hongjia has a good fight!" My lord, Pan Hongjia just wants to delay time, seeing that summer is coming, and the matter of salt tax, I'm afraid they have to act! At this juncture, he, Pan Hongjia, will definitely not be entangled with adults, and even if he does, he will not show it! ”
Seeing Qin Xuan nodding thoughtfully, Yang Linqiu continued: "Moreover, if the adult accepts Pan Hongjia's 200,000 taels of silver, as long as the salt tax is over, the Hangzhou Thorn Mansion will definitely use this as a reason to investigate and deal with the adult!" ”
When Yang Linqiu said this, Qin Xuan blurted out: "If this official accepts Pan Hongjia's money and uses it all for the construction of Yuhang, wouldn't it be okay?" ”
Yang Linqiu shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "My lord said so, but will those people in the Assassin Mansion believe it?" ”
Qin Xuan wanted to say more, but Yang Linqiu smiled slightly, and blurted out: "However, adults don't have to be nervous about this!" Regarding the salt tax, will the adults and the lower officials let them pass safely? If they can be wiped out and collected 200,000 taels of silver, your lord can naturally be said to be an expedient measure, and it is expected that Your Majesty will not pursue this matter! ”
Qin Xuan thought for a while, although he had already figured it out, but he was a little suspicious of catching them all, and asked casually: "The matter of the salt tax, the official doesn't know anything, how can I talk about it all, if Master Yang has any ideas, it is better to quickly talk to the official!" ”
When Yang Linqiu heard this, he looked left and right again, and looked around for a long time. Although there was no one, Yang Linqiu still seemed a little uneasy, and said softly: "My lord, the official will go to explain this matter to you at night!" ”
Seeing that Yang Linqiu was so cautious, Qin Xuan didn't dwell on it anymore, nodded and said, "Okay, Master Yang will come to the official study at night!" ”
It was night, and a few white clouds were still being played with by a few gusts of wind. In Qin Xuan's study, Qin Xuan and Yang Linqiu sat opposite each other. There was only a pot of tea on the table, and there was nothing else, and there were only Qin Xuan and the two in the room.
Yang Linqiu took a sip of tea and said, "My lord, do you remember the right Qianniu Wei Zhao Siyuan Zhao guard?" ”
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Of course you remember, what did you mention him to do?" ”
Yang Linqiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "My lord, in fact, when you left Kyoto, Zhao Guards were sent by His Majesty to Hangzhou to coordinate the soldiers of Hangzhou Mansion, don't you know?" ”
Qin Xuan was stunned for a long time, and blurted out: "This official really doesn't know about this matter, could it be that Zhao's guard came to Hangzhou to have something to do with the salt tax?" ”
"Yes, the minister mentioned in his letter to the lower officials that as a last resort, you can go to find Zhao Guard, so it seems that Zhao Guard should be a move arranged by His Majesty a long time ago!"
Hearing Yang Linqiu's words, Qin Xuan couldn't help but secretly slander himself: Okay, you Fang Xuanling, there is this ambush, why didn't you tell me earlier, it made me worry all the time!
Yang Linqiu saw that Qin Xuan's expression changed slightly, and after a moment of speculation, he guessed Qin Xuan's thoughts, and explained: "My lord, the following officials don't explain it to you in advance, there is a reason!" ”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly and said casually, "Reason? Could it be that you are worried that the official will act recklessly? ”
Yang Linqiu shook his head slightly, and said: "My lord has always been in the light, if he knew in advance that there was such an ambush, he would definitely have no scruples, and at that time, it would inevitably be discovered by the people of the Assassin Mansion!" ”
"But what this official is doing now is also a little careless!"
"This is different, the performance of adults, the true feelings, but it is easier to confuse them!"
Qin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, except for the move of Zhao Guard, Master Yang will explain everything to the official, are there any other reinforcements?" ”
Yang Linqiu took out a folding book from his sleeve pocket and said with a smile: "This is the details of the gang established by the Yuhang salt sellers!" ”
Qin Xuan stretched out his hand to take the folding book, and asked casually, "Salt Gang?" ”
Yang Linqiu was slightly stunned, and smiled casually: "You can call it that!" ”
Qin Xuan opened it and saw that there was no other content except for the information of the Salt Gang, so he felt a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly: "What is the use of Master Yang's book to show this to this official?" Could it be that all these people should be arrested and interrogated one by one? But this has nothing to do with the salt tax and greed for ink! ”
"My lord doesn't know, these so-called salt sellers are behind the Hangzhou Thorn Mansion, if the adults can find clues from their mouths, then the matter of Hangzhou's salt tax and ink greed will be revealed!" Yang Linqiu took a sip of tea and said eloquently.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a while, he blurted out: "If this official dares to go and arrest him, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion that this official is here to check the salt tax?" ”
When Yang Linqiu heard this, he glanced at Qin Xuan with great relief, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you go rashly, it is not good!" But if they accept Pan Hongjia's proposal first, so as to confuse them, and when they take it lightly and start preparing for transportation, the adults can go to explain the situation to Zhao Guards, and take down all these people in one fell swoop, and then they will get the stolen goods, how can they quibble! ”
Qin Xuan nodded, thought for a moment, and muttered casually: "It seems that not only do you have to accept Pan Hongjia's proposal, but you also have to install eyeliner in the Salt Gang!" ”
Yang Linqiu nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, there is a need to install eyeliner among the salt sellers, but these salt sellers are particularly cautious, if they do it, it will be equivalent to scaring the snake, making them more careful, and even directly beware of adults!" ”
"Even so, you have to have eyeliner, otherwise, you don't even know the time of their actions, how can you catch them all, let alone get the stolen goods!" Qin Xuan waved his hand and said.
Yang Linqiu thought for a long time, and said helplessly: "That's true, if the adults insert eyeliner, they still want to be cautious, and don't do it hard!" ”
"Well, this official knows!"
