The holy decree came out before the news spread, and indeed avoided a lot of trouble, and the government and the opposition were relatively calm, and there was no impassioned condemnation, and it was obvious that everyone was waiting for the outcome of the matter.

And the Qincha has also made the trip, although there are rumors flowing out of the Jingshi, but because no one is clamoring behind it, it seems surprisingly quiet.

As long as there are big people behind the scenes, countless clowns can't help but stand in the foreground, and it seems that they are not enough to do the same thing.

The same is true of Tianjin, the whole Tianjin maintains an extremely strange calm, the various yamen suddenly become cautious, everyone goes their own way, and very few people visit each other, several characters in the spiral nest do not come forward, still dormant waiting for the best period, as for those small fish and shrimp before the matter is clear, naturally do not have the courage to jump out and shout.

Jiang Xin, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, was on duty every day as always, of course, a group of officers had already gone to Tanggu to investigate a lot of evidence in advance, and at the same time, the correspondence between him and the Beijing division was also frequent.

Jiang Xin's master is a squire in the Ministry of Industry, and he is not a very great figure, but in the local area, the squire is already a figure who has reached the sky, and there is a lot of information from the Ministry of Industry from Beijing, and the situation is developing as expected by Jiang Xin.

The imperial court really paid attention to it, and immediately reacted and sent Qin Cha, but what kind of person this Xu Jie was, but Jiang Xin was a little confused, in fact, it was not just him, and many people in the court did not pay attention to Xu Jie, because he was a new Hanlin, but he was not as dazzling as Xu Qian. is usually deliberately low-key, and it seems to have been forgotten for a long time.

And now that this person has suddenly been reused, coming to Tianjin to deal with such a big case on behalf of the Son of Heaven makes people maintain a somewhat suspicious attitude towards his position.

The only thing that comforted Jiang Xin was. The attitude of Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, seems to maintain a strict attitude of accountability, of course he knows the relationship between Yang Tinghe and Xu Qian, and as the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe may not think that such a case can bring down Xu Qian. But he doesn't care, if it really collapses, he can solve a political enemy without much effort, but even if Xu Qian is safe and sound, he obviously doesn't have the slightest loss, the so-called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, just need to show an attitude and sue everyone the prince for breaking the law and committing the same crime as the people, even if it is Xu Qian. Once the evidence is confirmed. That must also be pursued. That's enough.

The next thing depends on him Jiang Xin, and looks at Xu Jie, who no one can touch.

There is an endless stream of fast horses from Beijing to Tianjin, and there are Jiang Xin's expresses. Naturally, there are many people who are directly sent to Xu Qian, who is studying in the Hanlin Academy. Brother Gui Xiang and senior brother Xie Zheng have already handed over the news, asking Xu Qian to be careful, in the Jinyi Guard, his father Xu Chang and several people from the Lu family sent the news, that is, in the palace, Huang Jin also sent an urgent report in advance, with only one purpose, so that Xu Qian could prepare.

As for Xu Jie, a lot of information was also put on Xu Qian's desk, such as how many people there were in the family, when did the father die, how many children did he have, whether he was lustful and greedy, what ideas he mentioned when he was in the Hanlin Academy, and so on.

These news are really a bit of gossip, Jin Yiwei is a kind of paparazzi in a sense, but these paparazzi are not asking for newspaper sales, nor for entertaining the public, but to sharpen their knives, waiting for the right time to slaughter you.

The only thing that interested Xu Qian was that this Xu Jie, who had something to do with Xinxue, was a transfer student of the Jiangyou School.

"It's kind of interesting." In fact, if Xu Qian was familiar with history, he should have known about it a long time ago, but even if he knew history, it would be impossible to pay attention to the role of Xu Jie. Now that he got this news, Xu Qian felt that this Xu Jie's was not simple, or that his future career might not be accidental.

It's just that Xu Qian doesn't care about this, after all, the matter is strict, so many people have died in Tanggu, and so many houses have been burned, both the time and the description of the bitter master are consistent with Deng Jian.

What does this mean?

Deng Jian was framed, and his face was already red with anger, and he kept explaining: "Brother Xu, you know me, am I the kind of person who forgets his righteousness for profit?" ”

Xu Qian coughed a few times, looking very embarrassed, and said: "In terms of feelings, you and I are brothers, I naturally don't believe that you are a person who forgets righteousness, but in terms of reason, you are still ...... That's the kind of person you are, you can't forget how you blackmailed me when we met. ”

Deng Jian's old face turned red, and he squeaked and whimpered: "This ...... This is the past, the past is like smoke, and the current Deng is completely different from the past. ”

Xu Qian asked, "Why is it different?" ”

Deng Jian said angrily: "Although Deng loves money, it is not that he has robbed others, but I have been overseas for two years, and I really want to rob and burn this broken house?" Do you want to take Deng Jian, who I still think I have no knowledge before, and now Deng someone will be able to see this thing? When I was in the Wa Kingdom......" Speaking of this, Deng Jian consciously lost his words, immediately silenced, and said with a smile: "That's it, don't talk about this, if you don't believe it, I have to swear to the sky, if I connive at the plundering of the people, I will be thundered five times in the sky." ”

Xu Qian sighed and said, "Then I have to believe you." ”

Deng Jian said movingly: "This is nature, we are brothers, who do you believe if you don't believe me?" ”

Xu Qian shook his head and said, "I have to believe you, and now I bail you out, in order to save you, I made such a big move, even if I dissociate myself from you now, will others let me go?" I can't do it, so I have to tie it to a rope with you. ”

Deng Jian was speechless, so he had to say stupidly: "It's just what to do now?" ”

Xu Qian narrowed his eyes: "If you didn't do this, then who did you say did it?" Who can transfer so many people, and who can arrange for these people to hide after the fact? ”

Deng Jian was silent for a moment, and said: "Tianjin Wei has nothing more than three people who have this matter, one is the Jinyi Wei Baihu, and the other is the commander of Tianjin Wei. ”

Xu Qian nodded his head and said: "That's the truth, the eight achievements are this Jiang Xin, but the problem is that we still don't have any evidence, since there is no evidence, according to various signs, if you say that it was not you, I am afraid that no one will believe it; So we only have one way to go now, you and I and Jiang Xin, either he dies, or you and I die, if he doesn't die, we won't survive. ”

Deng Jian's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "Brother Xu means, go and kill him tonight?" ”

Xu Qian glared at him and said, "Hugh wants to use your pirate routine to move to this Daming, this is the Heavenly Empire, the first good place, and the Midway Divine Prefecture, do you need a knife to kill people?" ”

Deng Jian couldn't help but be speechless.

Xu Qian sighed, glanced at Deng Jian, and said, "I just hope that you really haven't done such a thing that has lost your conscience, otherwise I will be hurt by you." Over there in Tanggu, I have ordered Jinyi Wei to go and investigate, and see if there are any loopholes, then Qin Cha is estimated to arrive in the next two days, if he is fair, it will be fine, if it is to help Jiang Xin, I have to eradicate them together. ”

For this Xu Jie, Xu Qian is not afraid, after all, after coming to this era, he has seen too many big people, although he knows what kind of great character Xu Jie is, but the problem is that the current Xu Jie, who is still tender, is too far away from the old and cunning Xu Jie, who defeated Yan Song in history, Xu Qian does not mind, once it comes to a critical juncture, even this Xu Jie.

"Just how do you eradicate it?" Deng Jian was still confused.

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "I don't have a clue yet, but I'm not in a hurry, let's take a step at a time." ”

Fang Cai was still full of confidence, but now he said that he would take one step at a time, Deng Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Brother Xu is not very reliable.

Tanggu.

Here by the mountains and the sea, occupy the geographical advantage, but at this time the Ming Dynasty implemented the sea ban, did not bring wealth here, due to the erosion of the river for many years, the place was washed out of a plain, so many borderless land naturally appeared, attracted a lot of displaced people, the government in order to facilitate management, then set up a waterway inspection yamen here, but in this acre of three points of land, now it is a chicken flying dog jumping.

There are many outsiders in Tanggu, but recently, many people wearing civilian clothes have appeared, and they seem to be looking for news.

Naturally, this is related to the recent pirate invasion, and there is a market near the bay, which is usually quite lively, because there is a fishing village nearby, so many fishermen will put their harvest here to trade.

The market was filled with a fishy smell, and the carriage parked on the side was steadily parked here, and a man in civilian clothes came to the bottom of the carriage and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have found out clearly, the pirates have attacked a village seven miles away from here. ”

The curtain of the car opened, but it was Xu Jie, who was dressed as a round-necked officer and a businessman, Xu Jie, who frowned and said, "Seven miles away?" Let's go, go there and have a look. ”

The man smiled bitterly and said: "It is very deserted, and it has been attacked, and now I am only afraid of ...... outsiders."

Xu Jie squinted, flashing a hint of suspicion, and continued to ask, "Where were the pirates attacked first?" Where did it go next? ”

The man pointed to a bay in the distance: "A dozen miles away is a fishing village, which is the boundary of Dagu, and the pirates will appear there in an hour. ”
