Nine thousand years old [rebirth]
Chapter 22
Yin Chengyu went out the door with the corners of his mouth still curled up.
Thinking that a random movement of his could make Xue Shu short of breath and hard to restrain himself, he felt extremely happy.
In the previous life, Xue Shu was not so easy to handle.He was already good at tolerance, and even his only weakness was gone when he was gone. He was always indulging in the vortex created by the opponent, but the instigator always had a calm face, and he never even disturbed his breathing.
After sober, it is especially humiliating.
Now he has the upper hand and the situation is upside down, but one word and one action can make Xue Shu's mind flustered, which can be regarded as a bad breath.
Sure enough, once a person has a weakness, it is easy to handle it.
In a happy mood, Yin Chengyu ordered someone to prepare a car, and went out of the government office to look for Xiao Tongguang.
Xiao Tongguang is still finishing at the gate of the city, and all the pirates have been taken down, and they are being taken to prison in batches.Xiao Tongguang's people took over the inventory of the five seagoing ships and goods on the shore at the pier.
When Yin Chengyu arrived, Xiao Tongguang was circling around several boxes, his face full of joy.Seeing him approaching, he hastened to meet him with an eager expression.
"What has Commander Xiao been so happy about being captured?"
"Your Highness, come and see." Xiao Tongguang rubbed his hands together, and opened one of the boxes to show it.Even though he had already seen it, he still couldn't help taking a breath when he saw the handfuls of blunderbusses in the box with the shimmer of cold iron: "It's all blunderbusses, there are ten boxes in total, there are about a thousand .”
"From the West?" Yin Chengyu leaned over and picked up a handful to examine carefully, and found that this bird gun was slightly different from the bird gun made by Dayan officials.
He picked up the blunderbuss, skillfully reloaded and ignited it, then leaned his face close to the blunderbuss stock, aimed at the big tree a hundred paces away from the front sight, and pulled the trigger.
The buckshot shot out and hit the tree trunk with precision.The impact force was so great that the thick tree shook slightly, and the leaves fell all over the ground.
"It's faster and more powerful than the blunderbuss made by Bingzhanju." Yin Chengyu said, "The pirates can get such a good thing, no wonder they are in a hurry to go ashore."
Dayan Bingzhan Bureau also made bird guns, but the manufacturing process of bird guns was complicated, and the barrels needed to be made of fine iron. Over the years, only the imperial guards in the palace have equipped more than [-] guns.The troops other than the Forbidden Army were only given a few sporadic shares.
No wonder Xiao Tongguang was so excited.
"According to the usual practice, the stolen goods seized at sea can be distributed by the guard." Xiao Tongguang rubbed his hands again, and looked at Yin Chengyu expectantly: "Your Highness, how do you divide this?"
These are thousands of blunderbusses, all of which were seized stolen goods. If the prince hadn't been hindered by being here, he might have returned to Guangningwei with the stolen goods on the spot.
Yin Chengyu glanced at him, thinking that he had helped him a lot, after all, he didn't whet his appetite: "Commander Xiao made a hard trip, and I thank you with two hundred bird guns."
Xiao Tongguang hissed, feeling a little lacking.
Just as he was about to bargain, he heard Yin Chengyu say, "These five ships also have to be dealt with..."
He hurriedly said: "Tianjin Wei is located in the middle of Liaodong and Shandong, and there have never been wars, but Guangning Wei suffers huge losses every year in fighting against pirates, and is short of warships."
Or how to say that no-cost business is the most profitable. This group of pirates is not large, but their equipment is better than that of the regular army.In the past few years, the national treasury has been empty, and military expenditures have been cut again and again. Even the guards in dangerous places like Guangning Guard have to tighten their belts to live.
The three cargo ships are not important, but the two [-]-material warships are quite solid.It can be completely returned to military use, so that the cost of buying a ship can be saved.
In contrast, the bird gun is not so important.
The two reached a consensus and tacitly divided up the stolen goods.The sea boat and two hundred bird guns belonged to Xiao Tongguang, and the remaining bird guns and goods belonged to Yin Chengyu.
These stolen goods did not go through the clear road, so they didn't need to be accounted for, and they all went into Yin Chengyu's pocket.
Yin Chengyu was in a good mood, and after calling Zhao Lin to collect the goods, he met Xiao Tongguang, who was also in a good mood, and went back to the government office for a drink.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Tongguang took his own manpower and returned directly to Guangningwei on the seized ship.
Yin Chengyu went to see him off, and after returning from the pier, he planned to stop by to see Xue Shu.
When walking halfway, I saw Zheng Duobao hurriedly chasing after holding a letter, panting: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Beijing, and the empress herself wrote it."
A letter came at this time... Yin Chengyu's heart moved, he opened the letter and scanned the ten lines at a glance, and a smile appeared on his face.
Empress Yu said in her letter that she had given birth safely on the third day of March, just as Yin Chengyu said, it was a boy.
After the three rites of baptism, Emperor Longfeng bestowed the name Yin Chengyu.
Everything is different from the previous life.
The queen mother gave birth safely, and Yin Chengyu was born at full term. Both mother and child are safe and healthy.
When he clears Tianjin Wei's case and returns to Beijing, he may be able to catch up with Yin Chengyu's full moon banquet.
Handing the letter to Zheng Duobao for safekeeping, Yin Chengyu smiled and said in a brisk tone, "The Zhonggong is overjoyed, everyone will appreciate it."
Zheng Duobao let out an "ah", and his face was also full of joy.
After receiving the letter, he went down to arrange rewards.The master is happy, and the servants below are also blessed.
Double happiness came, and Yin Chengyu was in a good mood. When he went to see Xue Shu, he still had a smile in his eyes, and when he talked to him, his tone was even softer than before.
On the contrary, it was Xue Shu who left because Yin Chengyu got angry last night.At this time, there was a rich blue color under his eyes, and there were bloodshot eyes floating in his eyes, and he looked at Yin Chengyu more earnestly than before.
Like a hungry beast staring at the prey hanging from the trap, ready to move, but with the only rational vigilance, he had to restrain himself and observe the etiquette.
He put his hand by his side and clenched it tightly, then loosened it again and clenched it tightly, trying his best to restrain the thought of overstepping the rules, and only stared at Yin Chengyu with a pair of dark eyes, sweeping him from head to toe over and over again,
Yin Chengyu was well aware of this, but he didn't realize it.
It wasn't until he finished drinking a cup of tea unhurriedly that Xue Shu felt that if he continued to stare at him, he would burn holes in his clothes. Then he met his gaze, pursed his lips and said, "You stared at Gu. After half a day, what can you see?"
"Your Highness looks good." Xue Shu didn't look away, and he was as frank as ever when answering his question.
His frankness once again pleased Yin Chengyu.
——Xue Shu's mouth, which is used to piercing people's lungs with yin and yang, can now say flattering things.
Yin Chengyu leaned forward and narrowed the distance between the two.He raised his eyebrows, and Xue Shu's shadow was reflected in his eyes, and his voice was deliberately lowered with a bit of depressing hoarseness: "Gu is asking you, when you look at Gu, what thoughts are going on here?"
He stretched out his hand, traced Xue Shu's eyebrows with his fingertips, finally stopped on his chest, and tapped gently.
Xue Shu's eyes followed his jumping fingertips involuntarily, and his voice became deep and thick because of the tension: "Your Highness will be angry if you say so."
In his heart and mind, there were countless thoughts of committing crimes and treason.
The brutally suppressed animal nature constantly impacts the shackles, trying to subvert reason.
"Say, let me spare you once." Yin Chengyu withdrew his hand, took a sip from the teacup, narrowed his phoenix eyes comfortably, and only watched Xue Shu's movement from the corner of his eye.
Xue Shu seemed to be hesitating, he was silent for a long time, then lowered his eyes and said: "I'm thinking about His Highness's hand."
All dark thoughts were obscured by drooping eyelashes.
He chose the safest answer.
Yin Chengyu was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at his hand, then remembered something, and smiled.
He looked at Xue Shu meaningfully: "So you like this."
These words were said to Xue Shu, but they were not.
Xue Shu's answer just happened to solve his doubts in the previous life by mistake.
In the last life, Xue Shu was very keen to give him some gadgets such as jade rings and finger rings, red agate, purple jadeite, pigeon blood, all kinds of materials, all in strong and bright colors.He disliked Xue Shu's vulgar taste and never wore it once.
Later, Xue Shu asked him why he didn't wear it. He said perfunctorily that "wearing it is a burden", but Xue Shu didn't mention it again.
It's just that when he was tormenting him later, he liked to stuff those disgusted jade rings into his mouth, forcing him to hold them.
At that time, he thought it was Xue Shu who saw through his perfunctory and became angry and took revenge on him.
Looking at it now, it was true that he became angry from embarrassment, but it was not because of his perfunctory, but because he couldn't bear to beg him to wear it?
Yin Chengyu laughed suddenly, and looked at Xue Shu with malice in his eyes.
No wonder there was such a big reaction yesterday.
"like?"
Yin Chengyu pinched his chin with his hand, pressed his thumb on his lips, and pressed his fingertips lightly and hard.
Xue Shu lowered his eyes, because the distance was too close, he could only see a white wrist with slightly protruding joints, delicate and beautiful.
The root of the tooth suddenly became unbearably itchy. Xue Shu's jaw tightened and he swallowed hard twice. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and bit the annoying finger.
A slight pain came from the fingertips, and Yin Chengyu was bitten unexpectedly. He withdrew his hand a little angrily, and said, "It seems that Gu Tai indulged you, and he dared to fight back!"
Xue Shu said nothing, and licked his lips silently.
Seeing this, Yin Chengyu became more and more annoyed, but he couldn't deal with a serious injury, and he couldn't punish him, so he just gave him a hard look, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
Xue Shu's eyes followed his back all the time, until he couldn't see him at all, then he took it back.
Staring at the roof of the tent in silence and remembering for a while, there was an announcement from the guard outside the door, Wei Xihe begged to see him.
——After the accounts of Ziwei's family were released, Wei Xihe transferred them to the public.Because the alienation plan worked, those masters were afraid that their account books would be useless if they were handed in too late, so they rushed to send the accounts over.
And Wei Xihe no longer needed to stay dormant, and left the Wei family openly and devoted himself to the prince.
He was originally staying in Tianjin Acropolis. After hearing that Xue Shu was injured and needed to rest, he guessed that he should need someone to do something, so he took the initiative to come to see him.
Xue Shu sat up with his arms propped up, and looked at Wei Xihe.
Wei Xihe was wearing a gray robe, his hair was tied up in a crown, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, but his eyes were full of hostility.This made him look very divided and disobedient, but he had no intention of hiding it.
Xue Shu is quite satisfied with him.
If he wants to gain a firm foothold in the palace, he must cultivate his confidantes in the future. At present, Wei Xihe is a good candidate.
"The more than a hundred pirates and thieves arrested yesterday are being held in prison. You came just in time, so you will go to interrogate me for me."
Wei Xihe respectfully responded, and talked to him about the situation in Tianjin Acropolis: "Fang Yushi has already begun to interrogate the salt merchants and the head of the Cao Gang. Cao Feng and others have all been sent to prison."
He only mentioned one sentence to the point, but Xue Shu already understood what he meant: "Ke Shouxin is useless. Before he is convicted, he should leave his life to await trial. As for Wan Youliang and Guan Haishan, leave it to me to go in person." Trial."
"Yes." Wei Xihe got the answer he wanted, and retreated after listening to the instructions.
Yin Chengyu and his party stayed at Dagukou for four or five days before returning to Tianjinwei with a group of prisoners.
According to the confession of the pirates, the chief officer and soldier Guan Haishan has conclusive evidence of collusion with the pirates, which adds fuel to the trial of the private salt case.
There is the head of the salt merchant Caobang as a witness, and the accounts of private salt as physical evidence.Wan Youliang and Guan Haishan finally couldn't hold on to the confession under repeated interrogations, and more officials involved were involved.None of the officers and men of the Salt Envoy was spared, and even the prefect of Hejian Prefecture was involved.
According to the private salt accounts handed over by the salt merchants, the Changlu Salt Envoy has over-distributed salt, withheld tax money, resold private salt, etc. in the past ten years, and the deficit amounted to as high as 600 million taels of silver.
It is more than five times higher than the 500 million taels calculated by the Ministry of Accounts at the beginning of the account verification!
Due to the large amount of deficit, Fang Zhengke did not dare to make a claim, so he wrote a note and ordered people to send it back to Beijing immediately, waiting for Emperor Longfeng to make a decision.
It is said that Emperor Longfeng was so angry that he dropped a set of blue and white porcelain when he saw the deficit account, and then drew up an imperial decree, ordering Fang Zhengke to be the imperial envoy with full authority to supervise the case.
The officials involved in it were all dismissed from their posts and ransacked their homes.
All of a sudden, the Tianjin Public Security Bureau had ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and the prison was overcrowded.
"A Changlu salt field has fattened up so many moths." Yin Chengyu frowned and sighed as he looked at the accounts submitted by Fang Zhengke.
Fang Zhengke also felt the same: "If a Changlu Salt Farm is so corrupt, the rest of the Salt Envoys may also..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Yin Chengyu understood his worry.
"Let's proceed step by step." Yin Chengyu collected the account book and drew up a list with a pen. Fang Zhengke said: "Tomorrow I will have someone go door-to-door to check. The silver taels copied out can be regarded as making up for one or two."
Fang Zhengke came looking for him precisely for this purpose, so he bowed his hands to him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."
Although he can investigate cases, ransacking homes is really not his strong point.
This time the crown prince traveled with five hundred and four soldiers from the guard battalion. The soldiers trained by the eunuchs were best at ransacking houses, so he came here specifically to ask for help.
After sending Fang Zhengke away, Yin Chengyu called Wei Xihe over and handed him the list: "Xue Shu still needs to recuperate, so I will leave this matter to you."
The author has something to say:
Dog hook:?Am I not His Highness's best dog hook?
Your Highness: .
Thinking that a random movement of his could make Xue Shu short of breath and hard to restrain himself, he felt extremely happy.
In the previous life, Xue Shu was not so easy to handle.He was already good at tolerance, and even his only weakness was gone when he was gone. He was always indulging in the vortex created by the opponent, but the instigator always had a calm face, and he never even disturbed his breathing.
