Chapter 604: Please Don't Hurt Us
The great eunuch Liu Jing was so confused that he lost any idea for a while.
Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, looked at him coldly, this person is strong on the outside and hard at the middle, and he is afraid of death. It's no wonder that the great eunuch Liu Jing is worth thousands of dollars, and he is simply blessed to be an enemy country. So much property has to be a life flower, once it is abandoned by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Wanguan property will disappear in a blink of an eye, and make wedding clothes for others. Zhu Di's sudden hand actually began to doubt him, the emperor's patience is limited, and the result of the emperor's anger is bloody and bloody, and no amount of Liu Jing is enough for him to kill.
Ou Lingtian also knew that Liu Jing could not fall now, the smuggling of official salt had just begun, and the water bandits on the Yangtze River were frightened one by one when they heard the name of "Huashan Black Dragon", and several batches of smuggled salt were transported to their destinations, and the Sichuan salt panic had been alleviated. Huai'an Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Liang Jinzin made up for all the losses and made a lot of money, and threw himself into the ground for the five bodies that Ou Lingtian admired. Even General Chen Zhanwei, the head of the Daming Water Division, looked at him approvingly, and Liu Yunqin, the deputy commander of the East Factory, admired it even more, and the great eunuch Liu Jing didn't say anything, but began to acquiesce in the facts in his heart. Turn a blind eye and let the "Huashan Black Dragon" do whatever it wants in the Yangtze River.
"Arrow God" Lan Lingxi and "Ghost Sorrow" Bin Jian are not good at coming, and they must be stopped in time. Ou Lingtian said to Liu Jing: "Lord Liu, leave this matter to me, don't bother you." β
Liu Jing couldn't wait to hear Ou Lingtian say such a thing, King Huashan is a person who does what he says, not to mention that they have common interests. Liu Jing told Ou Lingtian of Binjian's whereabouts, and now they are in the Jiangwan fishing port on the Minjiang River, and the situation where they will go next is still unknown. Ou Lingtian smiled slightly, as long as there was a goal, he was not afraid that they would fly into the sky.
At this time, Lin Feilan appeared, and when she saw Liu Jing, she hurriedly saluted and said, "I didn't know that Lord Liu was coming, so I immediately notified the kitchen to prepare wine and food." β
Liu Jing said: "The princess doesn't have to be busy, I'll leave immediately." Provincial leakage rumors. β
Lin Feilan said: "Don't worry, the slave family still has something to ask Lord Liu." β
Liu Jing said: "Princess, please speak." β
"My niece Shen Sirui wants to do business in the capital, but the capital is a big place, and it may be difficult for a female streamer to stand on her feet without a backer. Please take care of Mr. Liu. β
This matter is a trivial matter for Liu Jing, but the people of King Huashan want to do business in the capital, and Liu Jing has to guard against it. It's hard to refuse for a while, and I don't know what to say.
Ou Lingtian spoke: "If Lord Liu is embarrassed, forget it, I'm just worried that Si Rui is too young to be bullied, and I don't want her to do business in my name." Children should have their own lives, and it is not appropriate for them to fight and kill. What do you say, Lord Liu?"
Liu Jing thought about it, King Huashan said this Cheng DΓΉ, it was not good to refuse, and then what a girl could do, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Ou has spoken, I will let Dongchang come forward to protect it, and it will be foolproof." β
Lin Feilan expressed her gratitude and kept it again and again, and Liu Jing returned to her heart like an arrow. Left Shiyan overnight.
Ou Lingtian called Ji Kang and the housekeeper Li Ji to discuss the matter, and when he heard the name of the "ghost is worried" Bin Jian, Ji Kang laughed and said, "This old guy is still working hard for Zhu Di." That is the red man next to the first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, this person is scheming. Combining courage and wisdom, and with profound martial arts, he is a difficult person to deal with. β
The housekeeper Li Ji asked, "Does Mr. Ji know this person?"
Ji Kang nodded and said: "I have dealt with it, Guo Huan, the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and Guo Huan, the head of the household department, swallowed and stole official food. At that time, I was still a master of the western Zhejiang grain depot, and the autumn grain in western Zhejiang should have been handed over 4.5 million stones, but Guo Huan only handed over more than 2 million stones. The rest is all in the pockets of the public. Guo Huan and others are insatiable. In total, more than 24 million stone grain was embezzled. For this reason, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to take the opportunity to sweep away corrupt officials across the country. Bin Jian was ordered to investigate, and after ups and downs, he almost put his life into it. β
Li Ji said with a smile: "Mr. Ji won't be in the same league as Guo Huan, and he will make a lot of money, right?"
Ji Kang scoffed: "Thinking about the beauty, Guo Huan is a well-known iron rooster who does not pull out a hair." He is also self-inflicted, if he is more lenient with his subordinates, everyone will make money, and he will not end up in the end of being full of beheadings. I am the main book, and Guo Huan's accounts of wanton corruption are all clear in one note. 'Ghost Sorrow' Bin Jian found me, and obtained ironclad evidence, and Lai can't rely on it. β
Ou Lingtian looked at Ji Kang and said, "Brother Ji is still powerful, and he has moved to a big corrupt official." But what I don't understand is why you handed over such important evidence to 'Ghost Worry' Bin Jian, it can't be that he forced you to submit with a knife, right?"
Ji Kang shook his head and said: "'Ghost Sees Sorrow' Bin Jian is not such a person, I admire his character, he is bright and upright, and he is jealous and hateful. However, we must never use the strong to bully the weak and kill innocents indiscriminately. The people who died under him were all corrupt officials, unlike Liu Jing, who framed and robbed him for his personal purposes. Zhu Di can believe it like this, and he can also see a little bit of it. β
Ou Lingtian said thoughtfully: "After listening to Brother Ji's words, I have a new opinion on this Bin Key, he and Lan Lingxi can't be killed, Brother Ji, do you see if you can win Bin Key over and use it for us?"
Ji Kang said: "It's hard, but you can try. β
"As for Lan Lingxi, there is 'Narcissus' Xue Nanyan controlling him here, it's not a big problem. It's just that where are they going to investigate?"
"Bin Jian likes to take the sword sideways, and it is his characteristic to attack unpreparedness by surprise. I guess he went to find the water village of Chen Yan, the 'dragon who turned the river', and obtained first-hand information. Because Bin Jian would not believe that the water bandits would be able to defeat the Daming Water Master. β
Ou Lingtian became happy: "Since he came uninvited, we can't wait for us. 'Narcissus' Xue Nanyan has already robbed and killed the deserter Chen Yangshi and the secret agent Liu Zhan of the East Factory to relieve the danger. I had to trouble her to go again, so I asked Yixian and 'Red-faced Jiao' Jiang Qinghan to go together. That's all it takes. β
Just when "Xiao Sheng" Shen Yixian, "Red-faced Jiao" Jiang Qinghan and "Narcissus" Xue Nanyan went to the Minjiang River to intercept the "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" Bin Jian and the "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi, these two people were wandering around the Minjiang River near Tonggu Gorge under the leadership of Jiang Lao Er. Jiang Lao Er had heard that the water village of "Turning the River Dragon" was in Tonggu Gorge, but the specific location was not clear. Bin Jian is very calm, Jiang Lao Er is driving a five-masted sailing boat, the goal is very big, sailing alone on the Min River, there is not a single fishing boat on the river. Bin Jian believes that if the water bandits are often infested, they will not be invisible here. Jiang Lao Er also let go, entrusting the whole family to the eldest brother, and the three of them dressed up as fishermen and prepared to go deep into the tiger's den, but after two days, they didn't even see the shadow of half of the water bandits.
Lan Lingxi was a little anxious and said, "Brother Bin, we have been here for several days, and the time is urgent, so we can't afford to delay." β
"Ghost is worried" Bin Jian said: "General Lan is a little calm, we have to be patient and meticulous to be a secret agent, and not let go of any clues." If there is no conclusive evidence to deal with Liu Jing, he will fight back frantically, and the head that will land at that time will be us, not him. I have handled countless cases since the time of the first emperor, and I have never missed a move, that is, I have mastered substantial evidence, so that the opponent has no chance to refute it at all. Guo Huan's corruption case and Lan Yu case were all destroyed by the seizure of the family. Liu Jing's power is above them, and the secret agents of Dongchang are distributed all over the country, General Lan, we have to be cautious. β
Lan Lingxi only felt that his scalp was numb, and he understood why the emperor sent "Ghost Sorrow" Bin Jian to assist him in handling the case, compared to him, he was an idiot, he was a university scholar who fought and engaged in trickery and conspiracy, and he was at most a primary school student who came out of a private mat, which could not be compared at all.
Jiang Lao Er is also anxious, he is clear about the water and stone of the Minjiang River, the water of the Tongguxia River is turbulent, the beach is high and the waves are high, the canyon is deep along the way, the cliff is like a knife, it should be a good place for the water bandits to hide, "turning the river dragon" often haunts here to sneak attack the boats, the water battle that happened not long ago is not far from here, their water village should not be far away, how can you not find it. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and it was too dangerous to sail in Tonggu Gorge at night, he advised him to leave here first, and further investigate tomorrow morning, and Bin Jian agreed.
As soon as the fishing boat sailed out of Tonggu Gorge, two sailing boats came head-on, one left and one right blocked the five-masted fishing boat, and a voice shouted: "Listen up, the people on the boat have been here for two days, do you want to join the gang, we are the ones who come." β
"Ghost is worried" Bin Jian made a look to tell Lan Lingxi and Jiang Lao Er not to move, and replied: "Boss, I don't understand what you're talking about, we're just ordinary fishermen." β
"Fishermen, what about the deceitful ghosts, are there still fishermen who go out of the river to fish?"
Bin Jian asked, "Boss, who are you?"
"Lao Tzu is a person who 'turns the river dragon', 'the river dragon' has heard of it, a person who specializes in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and doing chivalrous deeds, your fishing boat has been requisitioned by us, follow us honestly, otherwise the bow and arrow will serve. β
Bin Jian replied: "This lord, we are all honest fishermen, and there is nothing of value on the boat. What are you holding us for? I beg the lord to let us go, and I will be grateful. β
The man sneered and said, "Less nonsense, bring the boat over, boy, you have to understand that there are dozens of bows and arrows on our ship aimed at you now, and if you don't want to be shot into a hedgehog, just raise your hands, hurry up, we don't have time to talk nonsense with you." β
"Ghost is worried" Bin Jian hurriedly said: "Okay, good, we are obedient, we are obedient, please don't hurt us." β
The two boats came up, and more than a dozen water bandits jumped off the sailboat, tied up the three of them, covered their heads with black cloths, and "ghosts see sorrow" Bin Key, "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi and Jiang Lao Er were ignorant and couldn't see anything, so they had to sit on the board obediently and didn't dare to move.
