096 Pointing out the way to life

Since he couldn't talk to Ye Zongliu about macroeconomics, and knew the final answer to his and Bian He's path, it meant that this topic could not continue to be discussed.

So Shen Yichen could only change the topic and ask Ye Zongliu about the local gangs that wanted to do something to himself.

"Leader Ye, dare to ask what is going on with this Jingkou Gang?"

Shen Yichen still doesn't understand why he, a passing scholar, would provoke a local gang. And judging from their words, they did not come for money, but specifically for themselves.

"Does the head of the Shen case still remember last night's verdict of Zhao Tong and the son of Su Zhifu?"

Are they really them?

Shen Yichen didn't have no doubts, but he felt that it didn't make sense logically.

It's just a little street contradiction, and you have to hunt down and kill yourself, the son of Chengguo Gong and the head of the Ying Tianfu Xiao Sanyuan case, can the other party be rampant to such a point?

is only a six-grade general judgment, and even the prefect of Zhenjiang is only a five-grade civil official, where does he have the confidence to feel that he can cover the sky with one hand?

There are really officials who are so stupid that they have already been eliminated by the officialdom and cannot be mixed into their current positions.

"The boundaries of Zhenjiang Mansion, has a general judgment been lawless to such a degree?"

Facing Shen Yichen's rhetorical question, Ye Zongliu shook his head with a smile, and then continued: "I'm afraid that the head of the Shen case thinks that Zhao Tong's judgment against you is because of last night's dispute?" ”

"Isn't it?"

I don't know Zhao Tongju and others, except for last night's dealings, there is no contact, where do the grievances come from.

"Naturally not, they are so panicked, it was the head of the Shen case that you said you wanted to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"What does Leader Ye mean, there is a bigger problem behind them?"

Shen Yichen keenly understood Ye Zongliu's words, even if the street skirmish was reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it would not have any impact on Zhao Tong's sentence.

Even with a high probability, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not care about this kind of messy matter between sons and brothers.

Since the other party is so afraid of the review of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there must be another hidden truth behind it.

"That's right, the problem lies with the displaced people on the streets of Zhenjiang Prefecture."

"Zhao Tongju and others were greedy for disaster relief materials."

"It is worthy of being the head of the Shen case, and he is really quick."

After a short period of contact, Ye Zongliu already understood that Shen Yichen was not the kind of pedantic literati who died of reading.

However, the other party was able to react to the problem so quickly, which was still a bit beyond his expectations, and it was indeed not simple.

"Very good, I don't know if Leader Ye has evidence in his hands that Zhao Tong convicted him of greedy ink."

Shen Yichen said this sentence expressionlessly, and his temperament instantly became cold, which was completely different from the gentle impression he gave before.

The report that Shen Yichen said before was purely to scare Zhao Tongju into scaring Zhao Tong. If you really tell Sun Tixue about this trivial matter and let him stand out for himself, what is the difference between it and a bullying son?

I'm afraid that the final result will backfire and ruin my impression in Sun Tixue's heart.

And now that there is a clue to the greedy ink disaster relief silver grain, as long as the matter is true, it is enough to pull Zhao Tongju and others off the horse.

Shen Yichen didn't know that the other party just wanted to scare himself, and thought that he was going to take someone's life.

But none of this matters, Shen Yichen has his own code of conduct, that is, not to take the initiative to hurt others. Since the other party provoked the incident, then he will not have any mercy.

Even if he took 10,000 steps back and said that there was no matter of the Jingkou Gang, as long as he could grasp the evidence of Zhao Tongjuan and others' greed for ink and silver grain, Shen Yichen would still choose to report it to Sun Tixue.

This is not for his own personal vendetta, but for the thousands of displaced people in Zhenjiang Mansion who are struggling to survive, in order to take the world as their own responsibility and not become a joke!

Ye Zongliu also licked blood all the way from the knife edge, and he could clearly feel the change in the momentum on Shen Yichen's body, and there was an uncontrollable "killing intent".

No wonder he can talk very happily with a "thief" like himself, and there may be a ruthlessness in the bones of the head of the Ying Tian case.

"There is no evidence for the time being, but if the head of the case Shen wants, we have a way to get the account books of the grain and silver of the Zhenjiang Mansion."

"Even as long as the head of Shen's case moves quickly enough to investigate before the officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture set fire to the granary, you can see the empty granary, and the silver grain for disaster relief is so greedy."

Regarding Shen Yichen's identity and background, Ye Zongliu had already learned about it from Bian He.

He had no doubt that with Shen Yichen's connections, he could dig up the matter of Zhenjiang Mansion's greed for ink and disaster relief.

is also from the bottom of the poor people, Ye Zongliu empathizes with the suffering of the displaced people, and most of these displaced people are from Zhejiang townspeople.

If Shen Yichen could really save these thousands of homeless people from fire and water, Ye Zongliu made up his mind that even if he fought for his life, he would definitely help him find evidence of ink greed!

"That's good, I'll repair a letter and supervise Lord Sun with Ying Tian, and I hope that Leader Ye will deliver the account books and other evidence together."

"Shen Yichen is here to suffer on behalf of the suffering refugees in Zhenjiang Mansion, and thank Chief Ye for his righteous actions!"

After saying that, Shen Yichen bowed to Ye Zongliu.

I just used pen and ink to repair a book, and the other party wants to get these evidence, I am afraid that the difficulty behind it and the price paid are not the same.

"No, I should thank the chief of the Shen case for the selflessness of the Zhejiang folks."

Ye Zongliu solemnly hugged his fist and saluted Shen Yichen, he had seen countless bureaucrats treat the people as dogs, and they took the suffering of the displaced people to heart like this, and Shen Yichen was the first among the children of high-ranking officials.

"I didn't do anything, I can't afford it."

Shen Yichen waved his hand, he felt that he hadn't done much.

"If the people in the world are like the head of the Shen case, then there is no need to do anything at all."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zongliu's mouth, he was serious, he was not a pure ignorant miner.

On the contrary, Ye Zongliu studied in a private school when he was a child, and he learned martial arts after a little longer, which can be called both civil and military.

Later, he inherited his uncle's profession and became a miner, and he was determined to "cut the injustices in the world with a knife and shoot the injustices in the world".

It was precisely because of this enthusiasm that Ye Zongliu entered the government office to be a soap subordinate, thinking that what he was going to do next was to eliminate violence and peace, but he never expected that he would become more of an accomplice of the government to oppress the good.

In addition, he happened to encounter the oppression of fellow miners, Ye Zongliu simply ran away and led hundreds of displaced people to Fujian to open a private mine. Then gradually developed more and more people under him, and the contradictions with the government became bigger and bigger, to the point where they had to reverse today.

Regarding Ye Zongliu's words, Shen Yichen could only silently shake his head and smile bitterly, the world is like this, and this is the only thing he can do.

opened the bag and took out the pen and ink from it, and Shen Yichen was on the small square table of the bird boat, writing a letter to Sun Tixue.

The content of the letter describes in detail the situation of the displaced people in Zhenjiang Prefecture, as well as the suspicion that Zhao Tongju and others were greedy for money for disaster relief. If you don't want the content of this letter to become a speculation, then it depends on the gold content of the evidence that Ye Zongliu finds.

"Leader Ye, the letter is here, and I hope it will be delivered to Lord Sun of the Ying Tianfu Xuezheng Yamen."

"We will live up to our mission."

Ye Zongliu took the letter from Shen Yichen's hand, and then carefully put it into his arms.

"The matter has been reached, then someone Ye will not bother the head of the Shen case here, and if there is a need in the future, he will never refuse."

After that, Ye Zongliu was ready to beckon the miners to leave. He also knew very well in his heart that Shen Yichen was a scholar, and he was a "thief", and he was not a person on the road after all.

Seeing Ye Zongliu and the others preparing to leave, Shen Yichen's memory of the historical ending of the orthodox nine-year miners' uprising kept flashing in his mind.

The man in front of him finally ended up in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, and was led by Zhang Kai, the right man of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was killed in the Huangbai shop in Jiangxi Lead Mountain!

"Leader Ye, stay for the time being."

Shen Yichen knew very well in his heart that the contradiction between Ye Zongliu and the Daming government was irreconcilable under macroeconomics, unless they were no longer engaged in the mining industry.

So from the very beginning, Shen Yichen avoided talking about the silver mine, after all, he was not capable of solving this contradiction, and it was useless to talk about it.

But the other party has the grace to save his life, and these miners are not thieves in the traditional sense, they are purely forced by the government to rebel, and the people have to rebel, so what is wrong with fighting in order to live?

Shen Yichen couldn't turn a blind eye with peace of mind, even if there was only the slightest chance to change the outcome of history, he planned to try.

"Case Chief Shen, what's the matter?"

Ye Zongliu stopped and turned around and asked.

"Leader Ye, if the contemptible people are not mistaken, you have come to Yingtianfu to purchase iron tools to cast and smelt armor and prepare for the uprising."

When Shen Yichen said this, the expressions on the faces of Ye Zongliu and the other miners changed.

Although they had many conflicts with the official uniforms and small-scale riots one after another, they never officially raised the flag to rebel.

Don't underestimate this nominal difference, as long as the flag is not raised, it means that there is room for relaxation, and the government also has the motivation to appease. Once the flag of rebellion is officially unveiled, it means that the two sides will enter a situation of endless death, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to succumb to the rebels!

Therefore, this kind of thing must be kept strictly secret, and the purchase of iron tools is also carried out in secret, how did Shen Yichen know about it, could it be that his plan has been known by Yingtian's high-level management?

Since Shen Yichen has said it so accurately, and now the two sides are also in the same boat in a sense.

So Ye Zongliu didn't hide it, nodded and admitted: "That's right, we are preparing to raise the flag to rebel, but I don't know how the head of the Shen case found out?" ”

"You don't care how I found out, I just want to tell Leader Ye that the uprising will fail, and it's best not to come to this point."

Regarding Shen Yichen's persuasion, Ye Zongliu just smiled, shook his head and replied: "Now the government has issued a clear order to punish those who open mines without permission to death, and their families will be assigned to the frontier. If there are those who do not accept the prosecution, that is, the army will be sent to pursue us, and we have no choice. ”

chose the ending of the uprising and rebellion, Bian He knew, and Ye Zongliu actually knew it in his heart.

But so what, sooner or later, it will be a death, and there is no other way to go.

"And what if I could show you a way out?"

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Ye Zongliu's eyes lit up, if he wasn't cornered, who would want to enter the mortal situation?

Even if he is not afraid of death, and these miner brothers who follow him are not afraid of death, then how should they live in the future when they are all high parents, wives, sons, and daughters?

At this time, Ye Zongliu knelt down directly on one knee, clasped his fists and said to Shen Yichen: "If Shen can show our brothers a way to live, this great kindness will not be forgotten until death!" ”
