Early this morning, Tang Ying wrote a letter of worship and prepared to meet the great master of Changzhou Mansion, that is, Huang Duanbo, the governor of Nanzhili.

In the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhili was different from other political secretaries, and the envoy was not in charge of the deputy envoy of the inspection envoy, but was responsible for the inspection of the imperial history.

Although the imperial court did not prohibit literati associations, Tang Ying felt that it was necessary for him to inform his mentor Huang Duanbo of this kind of literary society with political goals.

However, just as Tang Ying finished writing the post and left his village and town, he just passed by a stone bridge, when his eyes suddenly went dark, and he was tied up and dragged to the river by his backhand.

What bound Tang Ying was a strong man dressed as two farmers, and the two strong men pressed Tang Ying into the water one by one: "Don't blame us for this prime minister, it's the third master who wants your life, we are just obedient!" ”

After about half an hour, Tang Ying died directly.

At the same time, although there were dozens of servants around him, Wei Dawei, who was not accompanied by Tang Ying as a lonely shadow, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back when he just returned to the mansion in Shanghai County, and when he buried his head and looked at it, it turned out that he had been stabbed.

Immediately afterwards, the person behind Veda Micro stabbed Veda Micro again.

Half a month later, someone came to Gu Lin, the founder of the Duanwen Society: "Third master, Tang Ying and Wei Dawei are dead, Tang Ying fell into the water and died, and Wei Dawei was killed due to business disputes." ”

"It's a pity, Wei Dawei's family doesn't have to care, send someone to send some silver taels to Tang Ying's family, after all, I have a classmate with him, in addition, tell them to prepare the horse, I want to meet Futai."

Gu Lin sighed and sneered: "I knew why I had to do it today!" ”

Soon, the entire Changzhou Mansion and even the entire Susong Changzhou area and even Ying Tianfu knew about the death of Tang Ying, the head of the hospital examination case.

Huang Duanbo, the governor of Nanzhili, also felt very sorry, and personally sent someone to condole.

But at the same time, he was ordered by the governor of Susong to immediately go to Suzhou Mansion to preside over the academic administration and not stay in Changzhou Mansion.

At the same time, Wu Keji, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, also received a report that Wei Dawei, a student in Wuxi County, had been murdered.

Wu Keji felt very troubled for a while, the killing of county students was not as simple as the killing of civilians, but this Wei Dawei was a student from other places, and he could only note the officials of the Changzhou government.

However, the officials of the Changzhou government had already received instructions from above and refused to accept the case of Wei Dawei's murder on the grounds that Wei Dawei had died in the Songjiang Prefecture Special Administrative Region and should not be under the jurisdiction of the Changzhou government.

Wu Keji had no choice but to report the matter to Li Tianjing, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.

Li Tianjing had no choice but to report to the Criminal Department, which directly reported to Zhu Youzhen, asking about the criminal case found in Songjiang Prefecture and how to deal with foreigners.

Zhu Youzhen directly instructed that the local government and the government governor should be responsible.

Therefore, this case was still handed over to Wu Keji.

And just when Wu Keji had to take over the case and prepare for trial, he got a secret letter from his staff:

"Master, this is quietly given to you by the Futai Trustee, he hopes that this matter does not need to be investigated, it is better to push it on the pirates!"

……

Pirates have now become something that Zhu Youzhen's Ming court and the reactionary gentry in Jiangnan threw at each other.

Zhu Youzhen pretended to kill dozens of big squires under the pretense of pirates, forcing these big squires not to dare to act rashly about the affairs of Songjiang Mansion.

And now, Gu Lin and other people from the Duan Literature Society have also secretly killed the scholars who were unwilling to cooperate with him through the hands of pirates.

However, in any case, the struggle between the two sides seems to be more fierce than before.

Zhu Youzhen's concubine selection order is still ongoing.

Three thousand eunuchs began to leave the Forbidden City in droves, looking for good daughters in various places.

And the dispute between Liu Zongzhou and other court officials and the wild scholars was still raging.

"Hmph, this shameless Liu Zongzhou! Vigorously defend the current emperor, what good is it for him! He, Liu Zongzhou, is used to having a clean breeze on his sleeves, doesn't he want to think about his colleagues? In my opinion, I have to let him go down from that position in the Ministry of Rites, so as not to add to the blockage! ”

A certain six-level bigwig was furious and threw Guanghua Daily to the ground.

At this time, Tu Guobao, who had rushed to Nanjing, picked up the Guanghua Daily: "Why is the ministry so angry, this is just a ploy of Zhu Youzhen's envoy, Liu Zongzhou is now ostensibly defending Zhu Youzhen, but in fact he is defending himself, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have to seize the opportunity to join the cabinet." ”

"Okay, just let him make trouble, you go back and tell Ouyang Rui that the old man has obtained a position for his brother in the matter, let his brother find an opportunity to participate in the first assistant of the court, as long as Fan Jingwen falls, let the other things go first, don't force Your Majesty too much!"

After finishing this hall, he walked into the piano room, and for a while the sound of the piano was rapid, and it seemed that it was difficult to hide his indignation.

……

When the concubine was first chosen, the people were still very flustered, for fear that their daughter would never see the light of day when she entered the deep palace, and she was crazy about the wedding ceremony.

However, as Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, personally explained the difference in the selection of concubines and the interpretation of the purpose of the concubine selection in Guangming Daily, after knowing that even if his daughter was elected to the harem, even if she would not become a concubine, she would only have a three-year contract period, the people, especially the middle and lower-level officials and the landlords of the Shu clan, were relieved.

In addition, after mentioning that eunuchs will no longer be recruited and special treatment will be given to women entering the palace, some middle- and lower-class gentry and Shu landlords who hope for the wealth of the heavenly family are also active.

Families with daughters began to follow the relationship scheme to the eunuchs who were responsible for choosing concubines.

The selection of concubines is in full swing, and Zhu Youzhen has no heart to pay attention to the progress of the selection of concubines, he is now only concerned about the possible changes in Songjiang Mansion and the war of the Zheng group on Dongfan Island.

Jiao Lian, who had been promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the Second Army of the Guards, had already been entertained by Li Tianjing, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, at the restaurant on the west bank of Huangpu with his commanders, Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Tongchang.

"It is inevitable that the army will disturb the people when it enters the city, and the people have to worry a lot about the Lao Mansion Yin, so as not to affect the commerce and trade of Songjiang Mansion, in addition, if the officers and soldiers of the Guards have anything illegal, please also ask the Mansion Yin to tell the general soldier, and the general soldier will not tolerate it! No matter how high his official position and how much meritorious service he has, he will be severely punished. ”

Jiao Lian toasted Li Tianjing as he spoke, and Li Tianjing smiled awkwardly: "Where did the general say, the Son of Heaven's army has always had strict military discipline, what is there to worry about, if the general leads a corps to be stationed here, the soldiers and people of Songjiang Mansion are not afraid of any pirate trouble." ”

"It is precisely these words that the general army has added artillery to various docks, as long as the pirates dare to come, they will keep and fight until their ships sink and die!"

As Jiao Lian spoke, the officers of the Guards Army System all smiled.

And only Liu Kongzhao was sad at this time, he already knew at this time that many pirates might want to do something to the Ming Navy, but he had never participated in the actual naval battle, but he didn't know if he could win this naval battle.
