Chapter 169 Dealing with Yangzhou Salt Merchants

After all, he still has some supporters and henchmen in the household department.

He doesn't have his own people to use, so why should he use outsiders who have other thoughts and are not trustworthy at all!

For the birthday of the Queen Mother, he has his own network, and at the same time, he has already prepared everything, and he does not need the so-called help of his colleagues in the household department at all.

“……………”

Recently, the Qin merchants in Shaanxi have given him a lot of silver, and now he has no shortage of this kind of thing at all.

Moreover, there is no need to use his own money in this matter.

“…………”

Building a golden pagoda for the Queen Mother may be difficult for others, but for He Shen, it is not too simple.

Tens of thousands of pounds of gold? Other expenses for longevity?

"Huh...... Hehe......"

None of this is a tricky thing for Heshen.

“…………”

In the household department, after a full day of intrigue work, after the dispersal. He took a group of party officials and left the household department in a big way under the cold eyes of other household officials.

…………

Evening!

He Shen directly instructed He Er, drove the carriage, and arrived at the Liubi Restaurant in Dongcheng District, and then sat on the top floor of the third floor for two hours.

"Master, aren't we going back to the villa today?"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker outside, and the time was close to the early hours of the morning, Kazuji finally couldn't resist the sleepiness on his body, scratched his scalp, and boldly stepped forward to ask.

"Didn't you tell you a long time ago to inform the village, let's spend the night here today!"

Glancing at He Er lightly, He Shen said slowly and angrily.

“…………”

"But the conditions here are not good, and it is not a good place to rest for the master."

"Recently, there have been a lot of things, but the small one is worried that once the master does not rest well, his energy will be exhausted, but he will miss a big thing."

Hearing this, He Er smiled bitterly and said.

“…………”

"I'm not delicate enough to be that level, and those old men, I have to have a big house and a soft bed to sleep!"

He Shen waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, I will sit here for a while, and I will go to rest immediately!" ”

Understood the hidden meaning of Heshen's words, Kazuji blinked, seemed to understand something, and immediately responded.

Because, understanding the hidden meaning of He Shen's words, coupled with the sleepiness coming like a tide, He Er insisted on half a cup of tea for a while, and then he couldn't support it...

Heer, on his side, told Heshen, found a room nearby, lay on the bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

“……………”

And until the middle of the night, He Shen, who had been sitting still, moved his ears slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Pushing open the window, a cool night breeze blew, and in the next second, He Shen's figure jumped, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared.

……

The other side.

Tang Fei, an important intelligence leader of the Heshen Intelligence Network, was wearing a tight-fitting night suit, which almost blended in with the dark night around him.

Tang Fei was carrying a burden behind him, and this package was full of priceless information.

At this moment, Tang Fei is on the countless rooftops, walking like flying, and the distance of stepping out is tens of meters, and the sound of his footsteps is even more insignificant, which shows the cleverness of his light skills.

The strong wind around him was howling, and the houses were quickly left behind, like a cat shadow in the dark night, fast and inconspicuous.

“…………”

In an attic room.

At this time, Tang Fei and He Shen were in the attic room, exchanging information.

Tang Fei is one of the people in charge of the intelligence network that He Shen spent a lot of money and hard work to establish.

With Tang Fei's strength, he can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and he has achieved light skills, as long as he is not besieged by a large number of archers, there will basically be no problem.

This is evident in the fact that in recent years, there have been no major problems with the intelligence network.

“………”

"Owner, what is in this package is the activities of the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan officialdom in recent years, especially the salt merchants in Yangzhou!"

Tang Fei turned over and sat down, sat on the chair opposite He Shen, threw the large package he was carrying on his back on the table, and said.

"Okay, it really deserves to be the god who moved the world back then!"

He Shen raised his thumb and expressed his appreciation to Tang Fei.

Tang Fei did a really good job in this matter.

So much useful information has been collected in such a short period of time.

“…………”

The next day, He Shen slowly came to the Hubu Mansion, and in the eyes of a group of colleagues with different looks, he found Huang Shihua, the head of the Hubu Shangshu who had just come back from outside, and in Huang Shihua's impatient gaze, he opened his mouth indifferently and broke out the news...

Three days later, a eunuch and a Sanpin director surnamed Lin from the household department walked out of the capital, and a hundred soldiers and horses transferred by the Beijing camp were converging, and after half a month's trek, they secretly sneaked to the mansion of Bi Haiyuan, a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou!

“……………”

Subsequently, the eunuch announced the holy decree, and the 100 soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp suddenly launched an encirclement and suppression attack on the mansion of the wealthy merchant Bi Haiyuan.

The wealthy businessman Bi Haiyuan and others were caught off guard, and the simple defense system of the mansion collapsed in an instant.

The fight lasted for half a day, from the morning until the middle age, and the battle ended before the entire army of the Guardian Family was destroyed.

The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners also suffered a lot of losses, but they didn't expect that a single businessman would raise hundreds of nursing homes, and he was also a ruthless man who had experienced bloody battles!

“……………”

These people, knowing that there was no hope of escape, fought desperately, and even caused more than half of the casualties among the officers and soldiers of the elite Eight Banners.

Such a casualty ratio is not even a crushing victory for the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners!

This is called the head of the household department who personally led the team, and the face of the eunuch surnamed An is not good-looking.

If it weren't for the subsequent search, the process found Bi Haiyuan's treasure house, from which he found two million taels of silver, as well as countless calligraphy, painting and antiques...

With a reason to pay tribute to Emperor Qianlong and Hubu Shangshu, the two of them are afraid that their mood will be even more unhappy.

Moreover, Director Lin of the Ministry of Households, as well as the eunuch surnamed An, found a lot of suspicions.

Bi Haiyuan, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, is indeed rich in furniture, and tax evasion is also a fact.

Two million taels of silver, as well as countless calligraphy, painting and antiques, the two add up to three or four million taels of silver, which is equivalent to a year's tax in poor provinces such as Yunnan!

Moreover, what made Director Lin, who represented the household department, and Eunuch An, who represented the inner court, even more shocked, found an account book from the mansion of Bi Haiyuan, a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou, and the names of the accounts were shocking.
