Chapter 235: What a fire!
The dozen or so people infiltrated the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the huge Longjiang Treasure Shipyard was quiet, and suddenly a fire loomed.
Many workshops in Longjiang Bao Shipyard are mostly wooden houses, and now suddenly there is a fire, which soon spreads, and the most fatal thing is that there are more than a dozen places in this fire, and it is all over the entire Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
The people guarding the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard couldn't help but change their expressions when they found that there was a fire in the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, and screamed: "It's water, it's water, put out the fire!" ”
Dozens of people saw more than a dozen fires in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, especially the faint signs of the fire spreading, and couldn't help but rush up and try to put out the fire.
However, if there is only one fire point, if it is found in time, there may be hope for rescue, but there are more than a dozen places in this fire point, and dozens of people seem to be a lot, but when they are scattered, it is not enough to extinguish the fire at the fire point.
Especially when these people tried to rush into the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, more than a dozen black-clothed people rushed out of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and the cold light flashed, and these dozen people actually pounced on these people who tried to put out the fire with murder weapons.
"Kill!"
Obviously, the fire in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard was lit by these people, and these people even had to prevent others from putting out the fire, so it can be seen that the person who set the fire had made up his mind to turn the Longjiang Bao Shipyard into ashes.
Unified and chaotic battles, and by the time the dozen or so people dragged the firefighters to make tea, the fire had completely spread, and the sky-high fire could be seen in the entire Longjiang Pass.
In the darkness of the night, the fire was so great that the whole city was alarmed.
Looking out from the city of Nanjing, the sky was reflected red, and many people were alarmed, looking at the direction of Longjiang Pass with doubts.
Fan Heng tossed around all day today, returned to his house, and after bathing under the service of the beautiful concubine, he just lay down for not long.
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door woke Fan Heng.
Fan Heng sat up and said with a little impatience: "Why are you so panicked, don't you know that Ben Cheng is resting?" ”
Outside the door, as Fan Heng's henchman, the eunuch Li Yingluo said anxiously: "The chief manager is not good, Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Longjiang Bao Shipyard has an accident!" ”
Fan Heng, who was drowsy, suddenly heard the news from Li Ying, and the whole person suddenly woke up, turned over and got out of bed, changed his clothes and opened the door, staring at Li Ying who was bowing at the door, and said with a flash in his eyes: "What the hell is going on, how can something happen to Longjiang Bao Shipyard?" ”
No wonder Fan Heng was so angry, after all, he had only explained the matter of Longjiang Bao Shipyard to Chu Yi during the day, and at that time, he swore to Chu Yi that there would be no accident at Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
But how long has it been, the words are still in my ears, but it is just a few hours of hard work, and the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, which he originally swore that there would be no accident, had an accident, this is a slap in the face, how else can he go to see Chu Yi.
grabbed Li Ying, Li Ying, as Fan Heng's henchman, naturally knew the importance of the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, and even the people sent to guard the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard were arranged by him.
Li Ying was grabbed by Fan Heng's clothes, and his face was full of panic and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Chief, the Longjiang Bao Shipyard suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, and there were more than a dozen fire points, and the people we sent tried to go in to put out the fire, but they were stopped by a group of people, and after killing those people, the fire in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard has completely spread, and there is no way to save it......
Taking a deep breath, Fan Heng gritted his teeth and said, "What is happening to Longjiang Bao Shipyard now?" ”
Fan Heng only cared about the outcome of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard at this time, while Li Ying's face was pale, and he pointed to the direction of the red-colored Longjiang Bao Shipyard and said, "Lord Steward, please look, the direction of the Bao Shipyard is full of fire, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid it's over! ”
Only then did Fan Heng notice the red patch in the direction of Longjiang Pass, and he could guess how big the fire was in the direction of Nabao Shipyard just by looking at the fire.
"It's so ruthless, it's really ruthless, what kind of person is it, so bold that even the treasure shipyard dares to set fire to it."
Fan Heng gritted his teeth, if the person who set the fire was in front of him at this moment, Fan Heng would definitely tear him to pieces.
Li Ying lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Steward, there is a fire in the treasure shipyard, how should we explain to the overseer!" ”
Li Ying knew very well that Chu Yi valued the treasure shipyard, as Fan Heng's henchman, Chu Yi's purpose in coming to Jiangnan was not hidden from Li Ying, so Li Ying knew that such a treasure shipyard was burned down, and Chu Yi would definitely be angry about it.
Fan Heng's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "Prepare the sedan chair, my father must first go to the direction of Longjiang Bao Shipyard to check." ”
Soon, Fan Heng sat in a sedan chair and headed towards Longjiang Bao Shipyard at the fastest speed.
At this time, in the middle of Nanjing City, in a quiet courtyard, several figures sat on top of a high attic, and the four-story attic was quite high among the many buildings in Nanjing City.
Sitting by the window, several figures were drinking wine, but just looking at the looks of a few people, they knew that their minds were not on the wine and food in front of them, but looking into the distance from time to time.
"Brother Wei, don't worry, all the people we sent are capable dead soldiers, as the so-called only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Longjiang Bao Shipyard is so big, it is not difficult to sneak in and some people set a fire."
I saw that one of the people present had a little smile on his face, and he raised his glass to one of them with a confident look.
Wei Min raised his glass and saluted the other party and said, "Brother Mo, what I'm worried about is not whether the Longjiang Bao Shipyard can be burned, I'm just worried about how the eunuch Chu Yi will react if this fire burns down." ”
Mo Li drank all the wine in one gulp and said coldly: "I think that the eunuch will definitely be angry to death, if you want to open the sea, then we have to see if we agree." ”
A person on the side put down the wine glass and said with murderous intent in his eyes: "If it weren't for the eunuch thief's unfathomable cultivation, and the support of Dongchang and Jinyi Wei masters around him, the old man would have personally led the dead man to behead the eunuch!" ”
Mo Li said slowly: "Burning the shipyard is just the first step, as long as Chu Yi doesn't die, just one shipyard can't stop Chu Yi's determination to open the sea, so I have to find a way to kill Chu Yi." ”
Wei Min's eyes fell on Mo Li and said, "Brother Mo, how is the one in Nanchang City in contact, has he replied!" ”
Mo Li stroked his beard, and said with a little smile in his eyes: "That person has always been ambitious, raising dead soldiers, and privately making armor and weapons, that is, the court doesn't know, even if we don't push it, that person will embark on the road of rebellion sooner or later, and now we will join forces to promote it, even if he doesn't want to rebel." ”
Wei Min high-fived and exclaimed: "So good, as long as King Ning rebels and plays the banner of the Qing monarch's side, the imperial court will inevitably be turbulent at that time, and Chu Yi, who is the chief supervisor of the ceremonial superintendent, is the best scapegoat, and at that time, under the persecution of the Chinese military officials and even the fierce public opinion of the world, even the Son of Heaven will not want to protect the thief Chu Yi." ”
Saying that, Wei Min sneered: "Think about how Liu Jin fell, just rely on him Chu Yi, and also want to open the sea, then it depends on whether I agree or not!" ”
One person chuckled and said: "You can rest assured that Mu Zhai Gong has already contacted the court and the old days, just wait for King Ning to raise troops, and we can help King Ning to enter the capital division and behead the faint monarch, even if it is a eunuch Chu Yi has great ability, without the support of Zhu Houzhao, the faint monarch, he has only a dead end." ”
Wei Min sighed lightly: "Now I can only hope that King Ning can successfully get into the Beijing field, otherwise we can only take a dangerous fight and kill Chu Yi." ”
At this moment, the direction of Longjiang Pass was full of flames, and Wei Min, who was sitting on the high attic, saw the sky-high fire for the first time.
"Hahaha, it's on fire, look, the fire is soaring, Longjiang Bao Shipyard is completely finished!"
Near Longjiang Pass, the people who were alarmed around also spontaneously came to put out the fire at this time, but unfortunately the fire has spread, swallowing the huge Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, not to mention that it is a firefight, even if you want to get close to the Treasure Shipyard dozens of zhang will be burned by the rolling heat wave, no one can approach.
A sedan chair stopped at the edge of the treasure shipyard, Fan Heng got down from the sedan chair, and suddenly felt a rolling heat wave, at a glance, the raging fire burned violently, the fire soared to the sky, although it was old, but it was the well-equipped Longjiang Bao shipyard disappeared in a fire.
Looking at the treasure shipyard in the midst of the fire, Fan Heng's eyes flashed with a cold color and said to Li Ying: "Have you ever caught someone who set fire?" ”
After such a fire, there must be an explanation, Li Ying had previously said that the people they sent to guard the Longjiang Bao Shipyard had fought with the arsonists, so Fan Heng asked.
Li Ying nodded, then shook his head again and said, "Although it is said that a few people have been caught, these people are obviously dead soldiers, and now they are just a few corpses." ”
Fan Heng was not surprised, if he could really catch a live mouth, Fan Heng himself would not believe it, it was definitely not easy to send the dead to burn the treasure shipyard.
Even who the person behind the scenes is, Fan Heng himself can think of it.
It's nothing more than that the conversation between him and Chu Yi leaked out, and the purpose of Chu Yi's visit to Jiangnan is also known, and those gentry and businessmen in Jiangnan don't dare to say everything, at least about half of them are related to sea trade.
It can be said that there are many powerful people, gentry, and businessmen who rely on maritime trade to obtain huge benefits, thus forming a huge interest group.
Such an interest group has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the court for a hundred years, and it can be said that anyone who dares to open the sea will inevitably suffer from the crazy counterattack of this interest group, and even the Son of Heaven has to think carefully under the counterattack of this force, so that it is impossible to open the sea.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Fan Heng is even more embarrassed, because the people behind this fire can be suspected of too many objects, and it can even be said that including the nobles in the city, even if it is the Wei State Mansion, there are also suspicions.
Sighing slightly, Fan Heng said: "Follow my father to the Spring and Autumn Courtyard, and my father is going to meet the overseer." ”
Spring and Autumn Annex
Chu Yi sent Cao Shaoqin to take Yang Liuli down, and the bathroom was also surrounded by water stains because of the chaotic battle with Yang Liuli, and after a simple cleaning of his body, Chu Yi changed into his clothes and left the bathroom.
The night breeze was cool, although it was said that it was already early spring, but the wind in the night was still bone-chilling, and with a sweep of his eyes, Chu Yi only found that the red light outside the city was all over the sky, and he couldn't help frowning.
A figure appeared beside Chu Yi, it was Qi Hu, the head of the East Factory.
Chu Yi put his hands behind his back, glanced at Qi Hu and said, "Qi Hu, but what did you find?" ”
Seeing Chu Yi looking at the red light, Qi Hu bowed his hand and said, "Back to the Governor, there seems to be a big fire outside the city, and the fire is so big that the huge Nanjing City can see the fire. ”
Chu Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Fire? ”
Suddenly, Chu Yi's figure fell on the high roof, and when he looked at it from afar, he saw the red light outside the city, and he only heard Chu Yi say: "If the governor is not mistaken, that direction should be the direction of Longjiang Pass!" ”
Qi Hu, who followed Chu Yi to the roof, nodded slightly and said, "What the Overseer said is very true, that place is in the direction of Longjiang Pass!" ”
Looking at the direction of Longjiang Pass, a chill flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and he heard Chu Yi sneer: "Very good, these people are really well-informed, and they even dare to burn down the shipyard built by the government." ”
Feeling the murderous intent permeating Chu Yi's body, Qi Hu bowed slightly and didn't dare to speak.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Overseer, Father-in-law Fan Heng has something important to see!" ”
Chu Yi's figure fell, and he said slowly: "Please ask Fan Gong to come in and talk." ”
Seeing Fan Heng hurrying forward, he walked closer, fell down in front of Chu Yi, touched the ground with his forehead, and said sharply: "Overseer, the fire in Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Fan Heng is guilty of negligence, I have come to ask the Overseer for guilt, and I also ask the Overseer to surrender!" ”
Looking at Fan Heng lying in front of him, Chu Yi had a cold face, kicked Fan Heng on the shoulder, and only kicked Fan Heng to the ground, but Fan Heng was relieved in his heart, got up and bowed down in front of Chu Yi again.
Chu Yi snorted coldly and said: "Longjiang Bao Shipyard is on fire, this is what you promised to the Governor that it is safe and sound, think about it yourself, how long has it been, the words are still in your ears, you came to tell the Governor, the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard is on fire, what is the use of the Governor asking you!" ”
Chu Yi, who was furious, raised his foot and kicked Fan Heng again.
Fan Heng wailed: "The slave and maid are negligent, and they dare not defend themselves, and I also ask the overseer to give the slave and maid a chance, and the slave and maid will definitely catch the person who set the fire!" ”
Glancing at Fan Heng coldly, Chu Yi shouted: "Get out of here for me to check, no matter who it is, if you can't find out, you don't come to see me." ”
Fan Heng bowed to Chu Yi, withdrew from the Spring and Autumn Courtyard, and shouted at Li Ying and other subordinates: "Go to our house to check, even if it is three feet into the ground, our family will dig out the person who set the fire." ”
After Fan Heng left, Chu Yi, who originally had an angry face, looked calm at this moment, where was Fang Cai's angry look.
At this moment, Cao Shaoqin, who had placed Yang Liuli, appeared beside Chu Yi, his gaze retracted from a distance, and it was obvious that the scene where Chu Yi reprimanded Fan Heng was seen by Cao Shaoqin.
I only heard Cao Shaoqin say in a low voice: "Overseer, Gonggong Fan may not be able to find the person who set the fire......
Chu Yi said lightly: "Nanjing is far away from Jingshi, thousands of miles away, Fan Heng's life is too leisurely, I'm afraid he has forgotten his duties." ”
Saying that, Chu Yi said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that he had a promotion for the governor in the past, just because he was derelict in his duties, the governor could have cut off his head." ”
Neither Cao Shaoqin nor Qi Hu spoke, because Chu Yi was really tolerant of Fan Heng, and he really thought of his old feelings, and he didn't look at what happened to Wang Yue, who was still above Fan Heng at the beginning, and Fan Heng, if it weren't for Chu Yi's thoughts and old feelings, he might have been killed like Wang Yue, and how could he be in charge of power in this Nanjing city as he is now, and enjoy glory and wealth.
Turning around and walking into the study, Qi Hu and Cao Shaoqin, as well as the shocked Tang Yin and Fang Li, also entered the study and stood aside one by one.
Chu Yi sat there, lightly tapped on the table, his eyes fell on Fang Li and said, "Fang Li, you have always been resourceful, let's talk about it, what should the governor do with those people who set fire to the Longjiang Bao Shipyard this time?" ”
Fang Li was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he immediately stepped forward and saluted Chu Yi respectfully: "Back to the Governor, according to his subordinates, there is only one word to deal with such lawless people, kill!" Kill him, his head is rolling, and the blood will flow like a river. ”
Tang Yin couldn't help but glance at Fang Li, his face showed a little hesitation, Chu Yi noticed Tang Yin's expression and couldn't help but say to Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, do you have any different opinions?" ”
Tang Yin hurriedly said: "Overseer, what Fang Li said is indeed a method, but it is a symptom but not a cure, Bohu was born in Jiangnan, and knows very well how deep this muddy water in Jiangnan is, if the Overseer wants to open the sea, what he has to face is not as simple as one or two families, but dozens or hundreds, or even more families that have close ties with maritime trade, these people are woven into a big net in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is definitely not something that can be destroyed by killing." ”
Chu Yi bowed slightly: "Then what can you do?" ”
Tang Yin's eyes flashed with a wise divine light and said: "Actually, the overseer is afraid that he already has an idea in his heart, and Bohu dares to suggest that the overseer divide and co-opt, only in this way can a gap be opened on this big net, otherwise it will only provoke changes in Jiangnan." ”
Glancing at Tang Yin with appreciation, although Fang Li was not bad at learning, he was biased towards conspiracy and calculation, and lost on the righteous path.
As Tang Yin said, it is not enough to rely on killing alone, with a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, to co-opt, divide, and suppress, this is the solution.
However, before co-opting and dividing, a bloody killing is absolutely inevitable, and only by eradicating the most radical group of hard bones can we implement the strategy of co-optation and division.
