The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song and Jiajing are really fierce, hit it off.

……

In the afternoon of that day, Jiajing and Yan Song began to conduct private visits in microservices.

"Reminiscences in the south of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou is the most memorable place. Looking for osmanthus seeds in the middle of the month in mountain temples, watching the tide from the pillow in the county pavilions, when will you visit again?"

Jiajing chanted leisurely, with an extremely relaxed attitude, surrounded by Yan Song, Lu Bing, and Huang Jin, dressed as a wealthy businessman, wandering leisurely in Hangzhou.

(The yamen servant in charge of monitoring rolled his eyes: They are in groups, obviously good!!)

Chapter 291 Whitewashing the prefect of Taiping [2]

"Hangzhou is really tidy." Jiajing walked, admiring the scenery on both sides, full of praise for Hangzhou, "The pirates in the south of the Yangtze River are so serious, but Hangzhou is a peaceful and prosperous world of singing and dancing, and there are no disasters for the people. Xu Youdao, the prefect of Hangzhou , managed well."

A few people turned all the way down, Hangzhou is indeed very clean, and can be regarded as prosperous. It is considered very good in the entire Jiangnan where Japanese pirates are rampant.

Lu Bing and Huang Jin also praised Hangzhou along the lines of Jiajing.

Yan Song knew at a glance that Xu Youdao, the prefect of Hangzhou and an official of the Zhejiang Party, must have put a lot of thought into rectifying Hangzhou into what it is now.

But unfortunately Chen Yuanyuan told him the truth.

In order to whitewash the peace, Xu Youdao didn't care about the life and death of the victims, not only did not tell the truth to the court, but "[-]" also drove the victims out of the city, leaving the victims to live and die on their own.

How can Yan Song tolerate this kind of unscrupulous officials who eat vegetarian food and ignore the people?

He intends to take Jiajing to Nancheng to have a look, but Jiajing's reputation for private visits in micro-services is too great, Xu Youdao has long been prepared.

Before Yan Song had time to take Jiajing to Nancheng, he received a message from Gai Nie, who he sent to Nancheng for undercover surveillance.

Xu Youdao ordered the soldiers in Hangzhou to drive all the refugees gathered in Nancheng out of the city!

Nancheng, crying loudly.

Yan Song was furious.

However, Xu Youdao spent a lot of money to buy Jiajing's left and right sides in order to gain Jiajing's favor. Many eunuchs praised Xu Youdao's good governance, and made Jiajing preconceived. They also praised Xu Youdao along the way.

If Yan Song took Jiajing directly into Nancheng at this time and let him see Xu Youdao's true face, he might slap Jiajing in the face.

Yan Song knew very well that this was not acceptable for the face-conscious Jiajing.

We must find a way to let Jiajing know about this without hurting his face.

Not far away, on an attic, several officials in official uniforms were looking at Jiajing, pointing and pointing with triumphant faces.

"Brother Daoist, you are clever, you are really clever." Someone said in a low voice.

"This is my duty, how can I be smart?" A man wearing a fourth-rank magistrate's official uniform, with a fat head and big ears, said plausibly.

This person is Xu Youdao, the prefect of Hangzhou.

The man lowered his voice: "This time the [-] disaster victims were certainly committed by Japanese pirates, but once they enter Hangzhou City, they will become big fat sheep."

Xu Youdao looked a little unnatural: "Why is it a big fat sheep?"

"Brother You Dao, which one of us is with who? Are you embarrassed to cover up with me?" That person is a descendant of the Wang family of the Jiangnan Daoist family, named Wang Yizhi. He got a lot of benefits in the disaster relief, and said with a smile.

Xu Youdao coughed: "As a local parent official, I see the people displaced and selling their children and daughters. It's so tragic. I feel very sad."

Seeing Xu Youdao still pretending to be an official in front of his own people, Wang Yizhi and the others all laughed.

Wang Yizhi made no secrets, laughed loudly, put his arms around Xu Youdao's shoulders, and said happily, "For these untouchables, of course it is a dead end. But for you and me, this time is a godsend opportunity."

He pointed to himself: "Not to mention anything else, my family runs a brothel in private. Usually, it costs hundreds of taels of silver to accept a skinny horse from a good family, but this time it only costs 2 taels of silver. The girls of the victims, Just like a dog, they can be taken away as long as they are paid! The three brothels in my family alone took away more than 1000 girls. In the future, they will be bred into lean horses and sold to Yangzhou and Nanjing, and they will cost at least one million taels of silver."

He handed over a bank note of 20 taels, and gave it to Xu Youdao: "This is the dry stock commission from my family! Thanks to your brother this time."

Seeing the amount of Wang Yizhi's bank notes, Xu Youdao laughed like a flower, put it away calmly, coughed and said, "Oh, as a parent officer, seeing the people unable to survive and selling their children and daughters, I feel so heartbroken." Hang, can't sleep at night."

Wang Yizhi smiled and said: "Brother, are you worried about the people and can't sleep at night, or I honor your three top-quality skinny horses and can't sleep at night?"

Xu Youdao was demolished by him, and the old man blushed: "Go, go!"

On the side, another official of the noble family, named Xie Jinyuan, a county magistrate below Huzhou, also smiled and said: "My family head also asked me to bring a thank you gift to thank Brother Xu...... Those untouchables have nowhere to go, and there are many who sell~shen as slaves. My mulberry garden is just short of people. Usually, those untouchables don’t work for a salary of 2 taels of silver a month. Buy these victims back to be serfs, and don’t want a penny. Whip Have fun smoking!"

He also handed over 10 taels of silver notes and gave them to Xu Youdao.

The remaining few also handed over filial money to Xu Youdao one after another, ranging from one hundred thousand to tens of thousands.

Among them, there are black-hearted grain store owners who sell second-best grains mixed with stones to victims at several times higher prices.

There are ruffians and tyrants who directly drag the wives and daughters of the victims and sell them into kilns.

In the eyes of these people, the victims in Nancheng who were crying so loudly and whose world had undergone tragic changes were not only unworthy of sympathy and rescue, but also fat sheep for them to make a fortune.

Xu Youdao put on a show and sighed: "As a parent official, I feel distressed to death. But I have no money or food in my hands. What else can I do except provide some convenience for the victims? Fortunately, although they sell their children and daughters, Selling my wife and selling~shen, I can finally survive. This is the benevolence of my parents as a parent."

Wang Yizhi 4.7, Xie Jinyuan and the others felt like vomiting when they heard this. Xu Youdao was really too grandiose on the surface. He didn't give relief to the victims of the disaster and forced them to sell their children. He still felt that he was kind.

However, if everyone makes a fortune together, no one should make a fool of themselves.

"Brother Xu, I heard that Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, investigated and dealt with many local officials all the way down." Wang Yizhi frowned: "You have to be careful, after all, the emperor is in Hangzhou, and being with you is like being with a tiger."

Xu Youdao nodded, and said with a serious face: "You think that I can afford to accept this little money from you? I have managed all the eunuchs through the relationship in the palace! Without their protection, I dare to be under the eyes of the emperor." , allow you to do these things?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers asking for silver.
