Approaching evening, the hustle and bustle of Yangzhou City has not stopped.

The wharf is still full of merchants from all over the world, Yangzhou City, the first town of the Jiangnan Yanclass, even when night falls, it will also hang up Chinese lanterns to attract guests and show its unique charm wantonly.

"The villain asks for peace to the pardon father, and my master is already waiting in the wind on the third floor."

Jia Yu, who got out of the carriage, frowned and looked up, is Pei Weisheng too big!

Although he has no real job now, Pei Weisheng was also taken care of by his father back then, so he dared to put on a fight with him like this?

I saw Pei Weisheng's personal servant approaching Jia Cong, and whispered, "Forgiveness, there are still distinguished guests in the private room, and the master can't do without him!"

"Who is it?"

"Thirteen masters!"

Liu Ke? Why did this guy come to Yangzhou?

Facing the street between the wind words, the sound of silk and bamboo in the private room and the smoke and fire outside the window fused together, but it gave Jia Yu a different feeling.

"What? Don't say hello when you see an old friend?"

Liu Ke is more than ten years younger than Jia Yu, and he can see from afar that this master is not bad for money.

With a snap, Liu Ke opened the folding fan in his hand, fanned it extremely much, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Brother Enhou is going to stand outside the door and drink and listen to music with me?"

Jia Yu glanced at this guy and said angrily, "Are you here to listen to the music?"

After saying that, he walked into the private room with his feet raised and sat directly on the free chair.

After Liu Ke's soldiers outside the door closed the door, Pei Weisheng smiled helplessly: "Brother Enhou, the prince has to ask me to ask you to come here, originally I planned to go directly to the Lin Mansion."

"Don't blame Master Pei, don't look at you killing a group of people, there are still people secretly watching outside the Lin Mansion."

Liu Ke touched it from his arms, took out a piece of gold and placed it on the table in front of him.

Bang dang!

Pei Weisheng got up in a panic and brought all the chairs with him.

"Minister...... Honorably Saint Ann!"

Jia Yu also got up and bowed his hand to the north: "Respectfully ...... Saint Ann."

"Hey, hey, don't say goodbye, are there any outsiders here, why do you do so much false courtesy?"

As soon as Liu Ke's words fell, Jia Yu replied: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshun has taken out the golden order, can I still sit?"

"Ahem...... Mistake, mistake, I originally wanted to give your royal brother a secret letter."

This guy really deserves a sack to sink into the river!

Jia Yu took the letter handed over by Liu Ke, opened it and read it quickly.

Sure enough, the emperor was still anxious.

finally recruited Lin Ruhai, a great talent, and Liu Heng would never let people harm this talent.

There are no more than two great powers in the country, wealth and people.

If he can't move people, he can only start with money. The Jiangnan Salt Fee is an important pillar of the national dynasty's taxation, and the Jiangnan Salt Lesson is the first priority of Yangzhou, Yangzhou must be firmly in his own hands, and Lin Ruhai must be kept.

"Done?"

Liu Ke looked at Jia Yu, who was staring at him, smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen in your family, you can't stay in Yangzhou for a few days, according to my meaning, quickly cut through the mess, and take Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou first." It's more troublesome on the Jinling side, and my father's side will definitely not let others get involved, so wait and see what happens." ….

"It's late, King Wu has already turned Jinling upside down, and it is estimated that in a few days, the impeachment recital from Jinling will be sent to the capital!"

Jia Yu put away the secret letter, and said leisurely, "I came to the banquet to borrow troops from Brother Pei. There are few salts under the hands of the Imperial History Mansion, and the Jiangnan camp should not be moved lightly. If you want to quickly and completely control the Jiangnan Salt Class, you must have no less than 20,000 troops."

"Bang!"

Pei Weisheng, who had been shrinking aside and didn't dare to speak, screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on after hearing Jia Yu's words.

"Are you crazy? Are you kidding? 20,000 soldiers? Brother Enhou, before I could use the excuse of suppressing bandits to transfer out the army, but now there are no bandits, what reason do you let me go

Plugging the mouths of state officials? There are more than 3,000 troops without an edict, but they will be killed!"

Jia Yu smiled, raised his finger and pointed at the golden order on the table: "Isn't this the imperial edict?"

Liu Ke was stunned, and Pei Weisheng felt that his teeth hurt badly.

Lao Tzu is the emperor's person!

He really wanted to cry without tears, why did he lose his heart and listen to Liu Ke's words and come to join in the fun.

"Brother Pei, do you remember the two hundred water bandits you killed in that Zhuangzi outside Huai'an Mansion?"

Jia Yu suddenly changed the topic, which made Pei Weisheng a little confused.

He nodded and asked, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"Their surname is Zhen!"

Yes?

I only heard Jia Yu continue to explain: "This group of water bandits is just the abandoned children specially thrown out by the Zhen family, and those who really robbed the salt tax silver have already fled. The leader is Zhen Yingjun of the Zhen family, you should have an impression of this person."

Pei Weisheng shook his head in horror: "Impossible, some of these salt tax silvers are still sent to the Dragon Head Palace, Zhen Yingjia is dizzy and dares to touch the saint's silver!"

"I don't know if Zhen Yingjia is dizzy or not, but the old fourteen is really short of money!"

Liu Ke smiled and interjected: "I'm afraid you don't know, Lao Fourteen is really promising, and he has raised tens of thousands of private soldiers in the northwest, and these two million taels of silver are thrown in, and it is estimated that it will not last for a few days. My father was bored some time ago and wanted to build some star picking tower, and the Zhen family's silver had already been sent to the capital, and the old fourteen could only risk the idea of salt tax."

Pei Weisheng felt that he had heard something terrible, and he really wanted to poke himself in the ear to deaf.

The smell of blood in the forty-ninth year of Zhaowu has not yet dissipated, and the brothers of the family are about to start fratricidal again!

"So the Zhen family is not your friend at all, and even the officials and salt merchants who gave you silver are all just to stabilize you."

Liu Ke repeatedly attacked Pei Weisheng's psychological defense, and finally completely defeated his last insistence with one sentence.

"Master Pei, do you think that if this salt tax money can't be recovered, will the Zhen family be affected, and will Cui Xuanye be affected? What will happen to you and Lord Lin Ruhailin?"

The silver is his Caoyun Yamen is responsible for escorting, hundreds of Cao soldiers were cut off and thrown outside the Caoyun Yamen, two million taels of silver were lost, he as the governor of Caoyun, not to mention the vegetable market, at least this official is not to think about being again.

The more Pei Weisheng thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhen Yingjia, you dog, Lao Tzu treats you as a friend, but you want to harm Lao Tzu..........

Since you are unkind, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unjust~

"Lord Wang, Brother Enhou, what should I do?"

……

Lin Ruhai finished reading the imperial pen handover from Jia Yu, and hesitated again and again before he spoke, "Is my uncle planning to come according to His Majesty's plan?"

Jia Yu nodded: "Although His Majesty's plan will bypass Jinling Mansion, it is safer than our plan before we find out the attitude of the saint."

"Can ......"

Lin Ruhai had just said a word, and Jia Yu interrupted his next words.

I only heard Jia Yu say, "I know that you are unwilling, but don't forget that there are two masters in this summer, and Your Majesty's concerns are actually more in line with the current situation. If you anger the saint, Your Majesty will not be able to protect you. You have to think more about your niece, she has lost her mother, do you want her to lose her father again?"

Lin Ruhai is really unwilling, what he wants is to clear the chronic disease of the entire Jiangnan Salt Class, even if he pays an unbearable price for it.

But the emperor's order made him have to abandon the original plan and let go of the Jinling Zhen family and the three major salt merchants of Jinling Wang, Li, and Jin, who formed an alliance with the Zhen family.

These three general merchants can occupy one-third of the annual salt introduction in Jiangnan. If you can't cut off the control of these three families over the Jiangnan Salt Class this time, not only will it be difficult to do your best, but you will also be startled, and it will be difficult to make a move against these three in the future.

Especially the Jin family, the Jin family has already produced a Beijing official, who knows if there will be another Jin family's son outside the Donghua Gate in the future.

official

Business, officials, and businessmen, if they are just businessmen, there will always be a way. can be stained with official words, and it is not so easy to make another move.

"Alas!"

Lin Ruhai's expression darkened, and the candle flame on the table flickered slightly.

Jia Yu accompanied Lin Ruhai with a long sigh, and only after a while did he talk about the plan.

"According to His Majesty's arrangement, Liu Ke will sit in the Caoyun Yamen, start from Yangzhou tomorrow night, and the Cao soldiers will take over the defense of Yangzhou, and take down all the officials and businessmen involved in the Yangzhou Mansion before dawn......

The plan is not difficult to say, but the difficult thing is to have enough soldiers and horses to control the suspected officials and salt merchants as quickly as possible, and collect enough evidence.

For example, account books, letters, etc., complete the chain of evidence. Based on these evidences, we quickly radiated the surrounding areas and completely eliminated the illegal salt merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou and the corrupt officials who colluded with the salt merchants.

Then Liu Ke used the golden order to arrange suitable replacements, including officials, emperors, merchants, etc., to seize the vacuum of the three mansions in front of the emperor.

Anyway, most of these officials are below the fifth grade, and it is enough to use the emperor's golden order.

At that time, the wood has been completed, and the emperor will scold the rebel son at most, so that he will not cut the face of the new emperor who personally helped him to the throne because of such a trivial matter.

After all, if the salt class is replaced, the silver sent to the Dragon Head Palace will not be less than one or two, as for these sesame officials below the fifth grade, just change it.

This plan is indeed the most stable and safest, but Lin Ruhai looked at the three words Jinling Mansion marked on the map, and felt aggrieved no matter how he looked at it.

Jia Yu patted him on the shoulder and shook his head silently.

The two sighed in unison, and finally silently put away the map.

"By the way, I'm afraid that Yangzhou will be chaotic for two days, so it's better to send Brother Cong and niece to Liu Ke. It's a bit muddy, but it's safer to keep the kids with him......

Lin Ruhai raised his eyes to look at his eldest brother, opened his mouth, and finally did not say the complaint in his heart.

He nodded and said, "Then let Yu'er go out of the city tomorrow under the pretext of praying for blessings with incense, and go to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion to avoid it first." By the way, let Lian'er go to Qinghua Tower, talk to Jinse, and let her go out of the city to avoid it."

Speaking of the Jinse lady in Qinghua Building, Jia Yu's face was full of curiosity, and he leaned in and asked, "Ruhai, you tell me the truth, do you have anything to do with this Jinse lady?"

I only heard Lin Ruhai faintly reply: "Jinse, it's Min'er's person!"
