Chapter 108 Salt Merchants and Water Bandits

Jiao Yufeng's method is indeed very good, but it only takes a few days, and without his own actions, the law and order on the pier will be improved by [-]%.A dozen or so miscellaneous bastards in the shundai yamen were imprisoned.It greatly facilitated the work of those spies.Regardless of whether it was the dock monitoring or the news from these bastards, they were all sure. This made the spies in Tongzhou a little more interested in Jiao Yufeng, a small official who could only be regarded as half of his accomplice.I just feel that this person has a really good brain and clever means, so he should be their person.

Waiting for the account books to be sent to him, the cleaning and review began, and one by one was thrown out for questioning, and those local snakes were sweating, and they couldn't help stretching out their tentacles one by one, and began to probe into the capital. , He kept trying to find out what happened in the capital.This added new clues to the wooden people.

In addition, the local officials, even if they are not involved, are more careful in their daily affairs, for fear that they will leave some small braids when they are not paying attention, and people will be caught and ruin their future.In this way, the second item Mu Mu said can be regarded as starting to operate. It is still the kind of a pool of water that is all stirred up, which saves the spies a lot of thought.

That's right, what is irreplaceable is a trivial matter. If a person is demoted from office and their home is ransacked for prosecution, then there is really nothing left.With such a big knife above his head, it is more useful than any threat.They can't help but be cautious, right?

As for snooping on the news. . .Dear friends, seeing that the boss is panicking and feels a sense of crisis, can those little Luo Luos hurry up and save themselves?Being pushed out as a scapegoat or something is not uncommon in that dynasty.So, every time Jiao Yufeng went out to check the accounts, he would always meet some people who came up and said some nonsense.

Facing such people, Jiao Yufeng, who wanted to talk to these people on purpose, naturally came to receive them one by one. People put down a lot of guards.

After waiting for the food and drink to get acquainted. . .Then this topic can be routine.

For a while, I complained that the account book was too messy, and for a while, I said why these adults didn’t know how to find some experts.After coming and going, waiting for the topic to become popular, this news also came.

"Our lord has said earlier that we warriors are careless. If there is someone like you, Mr. Jiao, it will save a lot of trouble. It's a pity that ordinary literati are not in the same way as us. It's easy How dare you let them come?"

It's not that there are many secrets, why don't you dare to let people come?In this barracks, I'm afraid there are quite a few hidden things.

"Speaking of which, we have hired a few accountants in the past years, but these people, after all, are not our own. All we can calculate for them are some external account books. The matters inside these are confidential, but..."

Look, how careful you are, you can see the weapons and so on inside, you have to take a good inventory, there may be some pits buried inside.

"The staff our lord hired are pretty good, but after all, they are only merchants, and they are not proficient in the affairs of these warriors."

Wait, did something get in here?Staff?Merchant?Hehe, this merchant can join in this military camp, you think this pier can still be tight?Just this merchant. . .Which one?

"Are there any merchants on this wharf? There are many, big and small, but if you want to talk about style, it has to be a salt merchant. Not to mention anything else, I saw that boat with my own eyes last year. Oh, that scene , my adults went up in person, greeted them for a while, and then let them hide inside, otherwise the pier would be blocked for two or three days."

Salt merchant?Can the adults in this barracks speak up?This news is not small.What?Why so sure?Dear, think about Lin Ruhai, how high a grade is an official in charge of the salt department, and you can know what grade of officials these salt merchants come into contact with on a daily basis.Isn't it a problem for such a family to listen to the deployment of a military attache stationed at the dock, so to save face?That is to say, the warrior didn't pay attention to the details, otherwise. . .Look at the wealthy families in the capital, they don't have

The benefits of passing the salt merchant?There must be some, otherwise there would be no problem with the salt tax every year, but no one will be cruel every year.But on the surface, which one of them put down their dignity and made friends with this salt merchant?It's just that there are some entanglements, I'm afraid it's just sending a steward to meet secretly.So, the salt merchant. . .The suspicion is great.

More importantly, the salt merchant. . .Just to the south, there are quite a few garrisons near the canal. In this way, it seems that they meet the conditions for helping people escape.Well, I don't know if Mumu and the others know about this news, so I have to say it later.

Needless to say, they are not vegetarians over there. They have already found out these clues from those bastards. Concubine is the secret of Yangzhou Shouma.

"The brothers in the south once said that those salt merchants specially chose a yard to raise the most outstanding lean horses, in order to send them to the homes of various officials to help win over relationships. Many officials in the south of the Yangtze River have been tricked. The problem is only over there, I don’t want to... these people are starting to reach out to the capital?"

"If that's the case, then we have to inform the brothers in the capital. I'm afraid that this will be a must for the officials in the capital at this moment."

"These people say that they are concubines, but in fact they do not much less than us. Those adults, are the beauties fooling their minds? After finding out... I am afraid that even the officials Not safe anymore."

"Hehe, some beauties who are gifted are still so talented and have first-class looks. It is estimated that there are many beauties who can't stop them. This can be regarded as being a ghost under the peony flower and being romantic."

When they found out such a case here, they felt that it was basically complete, that they had achieved the credit, and they still wanted to see the jokes of these officials.

"You said that group of bandits?"

"My lord, I don't dare to talk nonsense. That day, I was drunk and couldn't get up in the tea shop in front of me. When I woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, I saw a dozen or so people getting off the boat, all in black clothes. Dressed up, and then hurried to the north. I thought I didn’t know which family had provoked the bandits, but I was a little timid for a while, so I didn’t dare to come out. But on the second day, I didn’t hear that any accident happened to the family, so this I forgot about it afterwards. Until... a few days later, I went to the pier to do... work."

"theft."

"Ah, that's right, it's just that money is tight, and I want to find some silver. I don't want to be faint, but I saw that the boat disappeared, so I realized it in my heart, thinking that I might have done something else. The case, I am in a hurry to leave. But because it didn't happen to us, I, it's not a big deal. "

Because these bastards and petty thieves in jail are always being interrogated recently, there are a few who are discerning, and know that there may be some unspeakable cases again.So people who know some gossip that others don't know are tempted, not to mention how much reward they can get, if they make meritorious service, they can go out early. . .That's good too, right?

So for a while, the spies were frequently found by the cell bosses, just because the guy in the prison said something that he wanted to report.But one after another, they were all trivial things, not to mention eight feet away from what they wanted to investigate, and they were so dirty that they almost got angry.

Don't care if you want to, think about the source of their news in the past, and they mostly sorted it out from some small details. I'm afraid that because of my own carelessness at this moment, I can only bear it and listen to it in turn. I just hope that it will be dealt with sooner. up.But I don't want to, their dedication to work is not in vain, although this sudden upswing is not the clue they are looking for now, but it is a gangster. . .The one who hugs the grass and beats the rabbit is also a credit, and he can't let it go.

"Come on, please tell me, what days are those?"

"It was ten days ago, ten days ago, I came in the second day after they left, so I remember it very clearly."

Ten days ago?The spies got together and calculated carefully. If the calculations were based on this day, then the bandit must have committed the crime [-] days ago. After all, it must be the next day when he went out of Tongzhou and arrived at the place. At night, wait to find out. . .Wait, twelve day money?They remembered that there was indeed a case at this point in time, that the master of a certain family was on the street

He was hit by a horse, and when he returned, he died before the doctor came.Could it be this?This grown-up is right? . .It seems to be a censor?

Kill an official?Whoops, this is a big deal.All the spies stood up at once.Both saw terror in each other's eyes.Such a big event, these spies don't know about it?No one doubts that this thing is man-made, so these people. . .I'm afraid that there are already certain rules and regulations from the layout to getting started, so I'm definitely not a novice.And such a person does not go by land, but leaves by water, then this. . .

"No, I'm afraid there are already bandit dens on both sides of the canal."

"Let's not talk about this, even if there is a bandit den, it can't be found out in a short while, but this censor... hurry up and send a letter to the brothers in the capital to find out who the lord impeached during that time, and what Things, this disaster is likely to come from these, if you haven't been impeached, then ask, if you look there recently, I'm afraid it's touched someone's secret."

"Yes, this is important. If we start from here, we can get a rough idea of ​​the people behind this."

"Wait, tell me, can this salt merchant and this bandit... be involved?"

Whoops, don't say it or don't think it, if this is true. . .Then this matter has exploded, and I'm afraid it's not something they can solve.

"In a while, you can secretly ask Jiao Erlang if there is any news from him. Mu Mu said, that kid is very clever, and I'm afraid he can gain something. Adding it up, it's better than sitting here and guessing."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

What effect can these two parties add together?Hehe, Jiao Yufeng's stack of bills is very illustrative.

"The armor that was scrapped in the old year is basically there, but this sword is much less. Although it is recorded in the account book that it was melted, but I calculated it later, and there is no shadow of this sum of materials. It is all ore If it comes out, that means there are at least fifty knives, ten to pay for bows and arrows is not enough. In addition, there is a small difference in the ore, this point... I am more inclined to deduct it when buying After all, if this is typed out, there will be more people passing by, I am afraid it will not be able to hide it. Oh, yes, and this, when the capital checked the accounts, there was a sudden extra sum here The money rushed in, no less than 1 taels, it should be to balance the account. It’s nothing, but the source of the money... It’s hard to say. Those grown-ups don’t look like they have touched the family business. If it’s a deposit of silver... These people’s families should not be so rich.”

Look, this problem is not ordinary, if you continue the clues, well, I am afraid that someone has already infiltrated the military camp in Tongzhou very deeply.It's just that for the next thing, Jiao Yufeng felt that he didn't need to intervene anymore. After all, he was not a big official, and the reason for it was just to check the accounts, right?

"This matter should be reported, if it's bad..."

Jiao Yufeng handed over the brochure, expressing his attitude that he had nothing to do with this matter, and then drank tea directly.So knowledgeable and interesting, what else can these spies say?After all, they are not the brothers they are making up, right?So the head of the spy immediately stuffed the booklet into his arms, then nodded and said:

"You go after you finish checking, don't let them find out that you know, wait until you get to the capital, and give the booklet directly to a certain adult in the Ministry of War."

That's right, this job was not in vain, it not only made him pay a job, but also gave him a new contact by the way.This allowed the spies to trust the Lord of the Ministry of War, not to mention that he knew in his heart that he must be one of the emperor's own people.With this incident, I think I can take care of him more in the future.

Jiao Yufeng immediately cupped his hands at this person and expressed his thanks.So, why is he willing to work with warriors?This is the pleasure of the picture, as long as you confirm that you are one of your own, they will not make detours for you, Toliso.

Jiao Yufeng patted his ass and left, leaving behind a pile of chicken feathers.All the barracks leaders who found him missing began to tremble a little.What did this find out?Why do you just walk away.Could it be, this. . .Hey, I'm afraid a big case is really going to happen, what should I do?Hurry up to find a relationship, right now I don't want to think about how to tell what I know, and leave myself alone

, come down again. . .I'm afraid that what's waiting for me is a big prison.

Ever since, as soon as Jiao Yufeng left, the spies hadn't moved yet, and the initiative to expose them started again. In Tongzhou, there was an instant turmoil and a bloody storm.
