Half an hour later, Zhou Huang, the prefect of Jiujiang with a grizzled face, finally reluctantly came to the wharf of Hukou Town and personally boarded the boat to meet Shen Shuren, who had patrolled so far.

Along the way, I thought of this young man who was just twenty-two years old after the New Year. Two and a half years ago, he was still white, only had a talent and fame, and he had to spend money to buy a prisoner......

Zhou Huang was angry.

People are more angry than people, he has been the prefect for six years, and he has been in Jiujiang Mansion for three years.

And what about others? In the three years that he has not moved his nest in Jiujiang, others have been promoted from a talent to a soldier and a royal history.

Now that I have to be grabbed by a twenty-year-old outburst junior, pinched and rounded, this breath is really unbearable!

It's a pity, no matter how indignant he was in his heart, when he saw Shen Shuren's majestic Hongyi cannon on the side of the ship, and the musketeers standing neatly on both sides of the gangside and carrying bright bayonets, he could only instantly succumb and brew a miserable state.

"Shen Daotai wants to see the lower officials, why make such a fuss...... This official also knows that if there are profiteers and bandits in Jiujiang Mansion, then they should be dealt with by Daotai, but Shen Daotai, you act so carefully...... "After entering the cabin, Zhou Huang had no confidence when he spoke, lest the people next to him not be calm.

At this moment, Shen Shuren did not look domineering at all. As soon as Zhou Huang got on the boat, he let him sit down, poured tea, and then said with a pleasant face:

"Zhou Futai atoned for his sins, and the official also knew the laws of the imperial court, and he blamed the official for drinking wine last night, and after getting up this morning and telling the order, he went back to sleep again.

As a result, his subordinates were anxious, and many of their previous comrades-in-arms were killed in the process of intercepting and killing the caravan cultivated by Lin Cheng, so they had a brain fever for a while, and captured a family of bandits and profiteers with conclusive evidence, and they were directly sentenced to the canonical punishment. The official also has a mistake of negligence, or else this matter will be settled? ”

Of course, he didn't mean the matter of the bandits, but the fact that the bandits were directly killed before they completed the judicial process.

Of course, Zhou Huang can only forget it, because he knows that if this matter bites the Zheng family, does he still want to force Zheng Zhilong to fail?

This kind of procedural flawed thing, even if it makes trouble in the capital, the bigwigs in the DPRK and the central government will not dare, and when the time comes, they will be angry at the local cause trouble, so that the court will not be able to come down the steps and lose face.

This planting can only be recognized.

Shen Shuren saw that he was refreshed, so he decisively put forward his request: "Since this is the case, the official will say it directly." This official is not a person who is killed completely, and this Lin cultivation actually can't last long, and this official is confident that he will be forced to land on him.

If Lin Chengcheng really descends, some things can only be revealed, and the past will not be blamed in the future. Therefore, the official didn't want to investigate for too long, which made people panic. At present, these few companies that have been arrested have been punished, and this case can be counted as the end of it.

In addition, Zhou Futai, your dereliction of duty is inevitable, this official hopes that you will play a letter to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, first explain that since Shi Kefa Shi Futai was transferred to the governor of Caoyun, Jiujiang Mansion was reassigned to the governor of Jiangxi, and even when cooperating with the governments in the northern anti-thief war zone, there were problems such as several political problems and inconvenient cooperation, which led to the occurrence of smuggling bandits from time to time!

You don't need to say anything else, as for whether the imperial court will reassign Jiujiang Mansion to the rule of Anhui Fu in the future, or whether it will still insist on staying under the rule of the governor of Jiangxi, this is not something you have to worry about. Jiangxi Governor Guo Duxian, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Shuren's words are no longer implied, but explicit.

He just said bluntly that he wanted the imperial court to better realize the "great cause of suppressing thieves in a game of chess", posthumously recognize the jurisdiction of the previous Shi Kefa, and continue to put Jiujiang Mansion under the rule of the newly appointed Anhui Fu.

When Zhou Huang heard this, he was also more and more shocked.

Of course, he could hear that Shen Shuren was expanding his power and confirming the power of the next "Anhui Fu".

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Shuren was so sure that the next "Anhui Fu" would be him? Wouldn't the imperial court send another person to take Shi Kefa's original official position in the past?

If there is a mistake in this, and the next "Wanfu" is not Shen Shuren, then his operation today is not making a wedding dress for others?

Is there anyone in the world who can be so self-conscious about their future? How arrogant is this, or is it really in the middle and upper echelons?

No way, of course Zhou Huang can't understand.

Yang Sichang has now relied on Shen Shuren to the extent that he is incomparably heavy, basically a person is about to die, his words are also good, and he regards Shen Shuren as his savior.

Chen Xinjia of the military department and Jiang Dejing of the household department are also strong reinforcements from Shen Shuren behind the scenes.

In addition, his father operates in Nanjing, and he will soon find a way to improve his relationship with Zhou Yanru. Even if he didn't ask Zhou Yanru to help him, at least he could make sure that Zhou Yanru didn't make trouble for him.

Shen Shuren still has the certainty of making real contributions, and of course he deserves to be promoted! How can those incompetent officials understand the thieves.

Zhou Huang felt that the matter was very high, if he dared to write a book to expose his own shortcomings and take the blame for today's chaos in Jiujiang, then he, the prefect of Jiujiang, would basically be done.

Even if Shen Shuren cooperated with him and didn't let him be demoted, he would at least be transferred to a poorer and more impoverished Far Evil Military State.

Jiujiang is the mouth of the lake in Jiangxi, the most prosperous traffic artery for business and trade, and he is reluctant to be greedy for this piece of fat! The gap between the prefect and the prefect is also very large!

When Shen Shuren saw him groaning, he knew that he was a horse who loved the beans, and he was reluctant to be rich.

He didn't hesitate to further urge the demon in a whisper: "Zhou Futai, I don't have so much time to spend with you, and I'm not afraid to tell you that I have already contacted the Governor of Caoyun Shi, and through him, I have also greeted Huang Degong, the chief soldier of Lufeng."

These days, Huangzhou Zhang Huang said that Luzhou Huang Degong will step up the strangulation of Lin cultivation. In addition, Anqing is wise and willing to take risks in person and persuade Lin to cultivate. Before it is done, the case must be closed, and there is no need to do it any later.

If you force me to investigate to the end, I won't get anything, then before Lin Chengcheng officially surrenders, I can kill as many of these people as I can according to the law and law! Though you will not sin unto death, try it! ”

Zhou Huang's face changed greatly, and he was completely shocked.

Shen Shuren's current state is no longer "holding a thunder in his hand to deter there", but it is equivalent to directly pulling out the lead of the thunder, and directly saying that he will definitely throw it out before the lead is burned-

It's nothing more than your own choice, which direction to lose, whether to blow up all of them, or to bomb a place with few people.

The sweat on Zhou Huang's face came down in an instant, and he had already made up his mind in a flash: immediately find a way to make the relevant people in Jiangxi officialdom cooperate, soften, and lose the car to protect the handsome!

After all, Shen Shuren has ironclad evidence in his hands, and this matter has to be done by a group of people, and it is impossible not to pay any price.

In addition, he had to find a way to confirm as soon as possible whether Shen Shuren really had as much energy as he said - so he had to immediately send someone to Anqing on the other side of the river to check and see if Huang Degong and Fang Yizhi's movements had indeed begun to act.

If these actions are true, then it is necessary to be soft.

Even if Jiangxi Governor Guo Duxian troubled him Zhou Huang for this matter in the future, he would have a step down and explain to Guo Futai that he was forced to maximize everyone's overall interests.

After thinking about it, Zhou Huang's lips were dry, and he begged for mercy with difficulty: "Lord Shen! Can you give it to the lower officials...... Three to five days. The lower officials also need to cooperate with the verification, as soon as the time comes, the lower officials will definitely give you an answer, how to send the book to Nanjing, the lower officials are not ambiguous! ”

Shen Shuren: "Five days is too long, I have already spent the New Year with you in Jiujiang, three days, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will take people on the road - these three days, it will be decided how many people will be on the list of prisoners, the slower you move, the more people will be detected." ”

Zhou Huang was shocked, but there was no way, so he went back to prepare.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Huang lived such an inhuman life, and it was not enough for outsiders.

At the beginning, the gentry involved in the case in Jiujiang and even Nanchang Mansion were of course in turmoil, and even wanted to set off a civil uprising in Jiangxi and break the net with Shen Shu's mermaid.

The Jiangxi faction also has a cabinet elder and a scholar in the court, how can he be bullied like this?

However, Zhou Huang showed the list given to him by Shen Shuren in the first batch to those wealthy gentry who were not on the list, and told them

"The scope of Shen Shuren's first crackdown was limited to those who were smuggling and collaborating with bandits on the trade routes bordering Huguang and Nanzhili at the same time.

As for those minor criminals who only have one province to trade routes, there is no evidence for the time being. After Lin Chengcheng surrenders, this case will not be investigated again. ”

As soon as the news was conveyed, those gentry who were not on the list immediately turned pale, and after a little weighing, they made the decision that the dead friends would not die and the poor.

even helped Zhou Huang pacify the place, turned the knife to take down all those colleagues who made trouble, and cooperated with the government to arrest people.

The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve of Chongzhen, and the first day of the New Year of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, were thus spent in a bloody storm in Jiujiang Province.

Shen Shuren successfully controlled the four most criminal gangster families, and all of them were escorted to Nanjing and went through the judicial process - including a Hukou Fei family that he had asked Zheng Chenggong to kill the whole family, so there was no need to go through the procedure, just make up the record.

Guo Duxian, the governor of Jiangxi in Nanchang, knew that it was already the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, who let him take a New Year's vacation.

After knowing about it, I heard that Guo Duxian fainted directly for a while, and after waking up, he scolded Zhou Huang for eating inside and out. But after he figured out the cause and effect, there was nothing he could do.

Jiujiang Mansion was originally placed under the management of Shi Kefa, and it has been five years, and he just took it back last fall, and he hasn't had time to be greedy for filial piety from Jiujiang, so he will be carved out again.

If you knew this was the case, it would be better to never have it, and there would be no pain when you lost it again.

The hippocampus of the human brain is capable of giving rise to loss aversion, and picking up a hundred dollars and then losing it is definitely much more painful than never picking it up.

There is no way, Governor Guo doesn't have much bad deeds, it can only be said that the situation is like this, he has blocked the way of the son of the plane, and he can only kick away whichever part is in the way.

……

After it was done, Shen Shuren could finally start from Jiujiang and return to Nanjing downstream.

In the past three days in Jiujiang, he did not wait in vain, and also sent someone to send a letter to Fang Yizhi of Anqing Mansion on the other side, asking his friend in the same year to cross the river for a while, by the way, fully understand the situation, and give a face-to-face lecture, and explain how to behave in the final forced landing.

In addition, Shen Shuren also talked to Zheng Chenggong about sharing the spoils.

The reverse property of the confiscated Jiangxi bandit family, this must be handed over. And strictly speaking, this is the law enforcement of the imperial court, not the benefit of military merit, and it should have nothing to do with Zheng Chenggong.

First register by the household department of Nanjing, and then consider the place where the place is intercepted, and what should be handed over to Beijing will be handed over to Beijing, and Shen Shuren is not easy to get off his hands.

At most, he copied Aobai like Wei Xiaobao, and read the account book a little wrong.

Or like when Yu copied the reverse birth, he accidentally omitted the Stipunk sedan and the Jade Golden Buddha.

In addition to reverse production, the gold and silver carried by the incoming convoy that was intercepted and killed by the Lin Cultivation Department did not belong to "case handling and confiscation", but "battlefield seizure".

According to the rules of the late Ming Dynasty, it is not too common for battlefield seizures to be privately divided. But Shen Shuren still talked to Zheng Chenggong earnestly, asked him to take a clear account, and then divided the account into three or seven, leaving thirty percent for Zheng Chenggong.

The remaining seventy percent are not all Shen Shuren, and they have to hand over a part of it, or use it as a serious local finance.

After all, letting Zheng Chenggong check taxes and give him this official errand was operated by Shen Shuren from the beginning. On the other hand, Shen Shuren also doesn't want to raise Zheng Chenggong into the kind of person who kills good and takes credit-

The reason why the modern army has to pay and pay for the capture and reward is because if the revenue and expenditure are one line and the mud, after the army below is slippery, military discipline will gradually collapse, and it will evolve into killing good and risking merit in the future.

In particular, Zheng Chenggong is arresting Li Jin, if all the seizures belong to him, then the Zheng family will soon return to the original state of pirates, and maybe in the future, they will frame the legal rich merchant fleet as smuggling, tax evasion, and bandits, and directly kill and rob the silver goods.

Therefore, Shen Shuren's final bottom line is to have clear accounts and redistribute. A certain incentive can be given, but it cannot be a big head, and the robbery of money cannot be allowed to become the main driving force for the investigation.

Zheng Chenggong instinctively instinctively felt at first, and felt that thirty percent was quite little. But then I thought about it, after the mine supervisors and tax supervisors sent by the imperial court back then, after getting the silver, they may not all have 30% of the money.

Since it is to exercise the right to collect taxes on behalf of the imperial court, and the majority of the income belongs to the above, isn't that how it should be?

Thinking about it like this, he was smooth, and he also helped Shen Shuren enlighten his subordinates, letting them know how difficult it was to check taxes on behalf of the imperial court.

……

After Shen Shuren set off again, there were no accidents along the way.

After another four or five days of sailing, until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he finally successfully berthed at the wharf outside Nanjing and at the mouth of the Qinhuai River.

The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year are killing people and destroying people, and this day is also bloody enough, and it is destined that his life will not be ordinary.

The case he reported was obviously known to the six departments in Nanjing, and it seemed that Fang Yizhi's persuasion had also been substantially loosened.

Knowing that he arrived in Nanjing and coordinated the mediation of Lin Cheng's cultivation, many officials with heads and faces in Nanjing have begun to face up to this rising star.
