It turned out that this letter contained some information about Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun, who had been in office as the governor of Caoyun for nearly ten years, and even when Liu Jin was in power, Lu Wenyang did not lose this position sitting on the gold and silver seas.

The Grand Canal is a flowing river of gold, not to mention the fact that there are millions of people who rely on this Grand Canal alone to make a living, not to mention the cities along the coast of the Grand Canal.

It can be said that the governor of Caoyun can decide the life and death of many people with a single sentence, and he can sit in such a seat for so long, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

As for why Lu Wenyang was not taken down by Liu Jin, in fact, as long as you think about it, you can guess that with Liu Jin's greed, as long as Lu Wenyang can offer a large amount of gold and silver, and keep his position as stable as Mount Tai, after all, for Liu Jin, his eyes are more focused on the court.

Tianjin, as an important node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, can be described as the throat of Beijing, coming from the sea must pass through Tianjin Wei to reach Beijing, and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion is located in such a port city as Tianjin.

It is nearly a thousand miles away from Jining to Tianjin, and even if Fang Xiaoyu and his party are fast, it will take several days on the way.

Although it was said that Chu Yi was eager to fly to Tianjin to meet the governor of Caoyun for a while, but after a little measurement, Chu Yi dispelled the unwise move of going straight to Tianjin, and led people to chase Gao Feng and his party.

The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety of these more than 10 million taels of silver, as for Lu Wenyang, Chu Yi believes that they will meet, and it will not be bad for a few days.

The long convoy stretched for miles, surrounded by soldiers, guarding the entire convoy so tightly that if a few thousand people didn't come, they wouldn't be able to take this team at all.

It was only half a day, Chu Yi and the others caught up with Gao Feng and his party, after all, it was only half a day, and Gao Feng and his party were able to walk dozens of miles, which was not slow.

Gao Feng rode with Chu Yi, slightly behind Chu Yi by half a horse, and said: "Brother Chu Yi, you didn't go to Tianjin, I'm relieved!" ”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, although Gao Feng's letter to him clearly stated Lu Wenyang's location, he faintly persuaded him not to rush to find the other party's trouble, and now hearing Gao Feng mention this, Chu Yi looked at Gao Feng slightly sideways and said, "Brother Gao Feng might as well come and listen, is there anything else that Lu Wenyang can rely on?" ”

Gao Feng's expression was straight, he looked at Chu Yi and said solemnly: "Brother Chu doesn't think that the person who can sit firmly in the position of the governor of Caoyun for nearly ten years will be so easy to deal with, don't forget, he supervises Caoyun, and the people he comes into contact with are even more mixed, it can be said that except for the first Caoyun general Chen Xuan, who has been sitting firmly for thirty years, how many people can sit on this son for three years?" ”

Chu Yi was silent, just as Gao Feng said, the position of the governor of Caoyun is by no means something that ordinary people can sit on, the interests involved in this position are too huge, and there are too many people staring at this position, plus the people he comes into contact with are even more mixed, if he has no ability, he will either be grabbed by someone and impeached and lose his official position, or he will be lost and die.

Anyway, this is a high-risk position flowing with gold water, guarding such a flowing river of gold, not to mention more, it is rare to easily loot tens of millions of taels of silver every year.

You must know that on this Grand Canal, ships come and go, and in a year, I am afraid that the number of ships coming and going will be as many as tens of millions. Just a little bit of manipulation on this is a terrifying gain.

What's more, guarding such a flowing golden river, collecting tolls for ships is the lowest means, hoarding, buying low and selling high, etc., it can be said that as long as you are not a fool, you can easily accumulate a net worth of millions.

Smiling slightly, Chu Yi looked at Gao Feng and said, "Listen to Brother Gao Feng, this Lu Wenyang Chu is really untouchable?" ”

Gao Feng Zhengse said: "It's not that you can't touch it, but it's better not to provoke it, the overseer was in the Beijing division a few years ago, but I don't know that Liu Jin has sent a team of people from the household department and the criminal department to try to check the account books of Caoyun over the years, guess what the result is?" ”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what is the result?" ”

Gao Feng said with a cold expression: "Dead, a dozen court officials and dozens of officials sank in the Grand Canal with a big ship." ”

A chill flashed in Chu Yi's eyes and said, "It seems that this Caoyun Governor is really ruthless and bold!" It seems that Liu Jin is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer, could it be that things will end like this? ”

Gao Feng chuckled and said: "This is naturally impossible, this Lu Wenyang is also a ruthless person, after destroying a group of people sent by Liu Jin, he sent 500,000 taels of silver to Liu Jin's mansion the next day." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "With a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, a good Caoyun Governor and a good Lu Wenyang!" ”

Gao Feng nodded and said: "This person has gathered a group of outlaws from the rivers and lakes, and he can dispatch thousands of soldiers and horses from several guards in Tianjin at any time, it can be said that in the entire Tianjin Wei, on the entire Grand Canal, Lu Wenyang's words are better than the words of our majesty." ”

Looking at Chu Yi, Gao Feng said: "Just because this Lu Wenyang is not an ordinary person, I am afraid that Brother Chu, you don't know the bottom of it and bump into it, in case you suffer a loss, it will be very bad." ”

Chu Yi bowed his head towards Gao Feng and said, "Thank you Brother Gao Feng for reminding me, otherwise Chu Yi really doesn't know the details of this Lu Wenyang." ”

Having said that, according to Chu Yi's style of acting, every time before he starts, he first clarifies the details of his opponent, so that he knows it in his heart, even if he doesn't know Lu Wenyang's details at the moment, but Dongchang can't do anything else, and the ability to collect intelligence is still there, when he was in Jining City, Chu Yi had already ordered Dongchang to collect information about the Grand Canal and Lu Wenyang, and in a day or two at most, more complete information than what Gao Feng said would be sent to Chu Yi.

Just when Chu Yi and Gao Feng escorted tens of millions of taels of silver to Beijing, the news that Chu Yi was bloodbathing Jining officialdom in Jining City spread at an extremely fast speed.

With the convenience of the Grand Canal, the news reached Tianjin Wei on the evening of the second day.

Tianjin Wei is also very prosperous, there are many merchants, a solemn and atmospheric mansion covers an area of more than ten acres and is located in the city, it is the residence of the governor of Caoyun, Lu Wenyang.

Caoyun Governor's Yamen is located not far from the opposite of Lu Mansion, the Governor's Yamen is not big, but it is such a small Yamen that manages the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a north-south artery of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Lu Mansion and in the study, Lu Wenyang, who was dressed in a loose robe, sat leisurely on the Taishi chair and listened to several of his henchmen report on the affairs of the Caoyun Yamen.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and I saw a man in a strong suit go straight into the open study, and fell to the ground with a bang: "Shen Yi greets the governor!" ”

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Wenyang glanced at Shen Yi, waved his hand, and saw that the few henchmen retreated one by one, Lu Wenyang sat up straight and stared at Shen Yiyi: "Is the matter done?" ”

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Back to the Governor, Chen Li and the others are not doing well, and the operation to attack and kill Chu Yi has failed!" ”

"Failed?"

Lu Wenyang's voice was a little high, his eyes were full of anger, and he suddenly got up and walked a few steps and said, "I will go through the details." ”

Shen Yi told Lu Wenyang what happened in Jining that night, and it was extremely detailed, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

When Lu Wenyang heard that Chu Yi had secretly moved the rescuers from Liaocheng, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "It turned out that Gao Feng, the gelding, intervened in it and let him escape, this time it's his fate!" ”

Shen Yi lowered his head and said with a little worry: "My lord, this Chu Yi is a madman, he even dares to raid his family and exterminate the clan in Nanjing City, if he knows that it is the adults who are plotting against him behind his back, I am afraid that he will not give up!" ”

Lu Wenyang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Really? Does he want to deal with the governor even because of his eunuchs? Back then, Liu Jin covered the sky with one hand and claimed to be the emperor, but it was not that there was no way to take the governor! ”

Shen Yi was slightly stunned, as if he thought that Liu Jin, who was in power at the beginning, was not able to get his own governor, compared to Liu Jin, although Chu Yi was notorious, but he was obviously inferior to Liu Jin, and he was originally a little worried, but at this time he was completely relieved.

"The Governor is far-sighted, has a wide range of contacts, and no one in the court can reach him, so a mere gelding dog naturally can't shake the status of an adult, and his subordinates are too worried."

Lu Wenyang said with a look of regret: "Chu Yi doesn't care if he dies, but it's a pity that the tens of millions of taels of silver!" ”

When mentioning tens of millions of taels of silver, Lu Wenyang's eyes seemed to have a golden light, and the kind of regret and pain seemed to be as if someone had cut his flesh.

Shen Yi knows himself very well as an adult, and he has no other shortcomings, the only thing he is sure of is that he attaches too much importance to yellow and white things, or he was forced to be helpless, Lu Wenyang would definitely not bear the pain and take out 500,000 taels of silver from the private treasury and give it to Liu Jin.

"Or we'll send someone ...... again"

Lu Wenyang slowly shook his head and said: "This matter ends here, since Chu Yi escaped a catastrophe, it means that this governor has nothing to do with those silver, and you should order it to go down and let people stop the idea of fighting these silver taels." ”

Watching Shen Yi leave, Lu Wenyang suddenly gritted his teeth with a distressed look and gritted his teeth: "Chen Li, Du Wen, Wang Guan, you waste, waste, the old man's tens of millions of taels of silver have been lost by you like this, hurt me, hurt me!" ”
