Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"Dad, Lord Tang.

Jiang Yin walked in and said with a gloomy face: "There are six fewer people in the family, one of them is three months ago to work, and the other five are a little later, and they disappeared at the same time tonight, and a corpse at the scene of the fight is one of the six people."

"It seems that those five people are Jinyiwei, who came three months earlier, it should be another group of people, and they just happened to be crowded together tonight."

Master Tang pondered, and said, "Draw the portraits of the other four people." "

Okay, immediately send someone to invite the best painter in Yangzhou City.

Jiang Yin said, walked outside the hall, and ordered to go down.

"Lao Jiang, you have suffered such a big loss tonight, then Brother Li Jiashan, you can use it well.

It was too late for Master Tang to say anything, and it was okay to support the moves, so he said: "The Li family's commission has been increased to three out of ten, and you can take half of the extra one."

"Yes, thank you, sir, please pay more attention to the arrest of those bandits, if I can chase those treasures that have been robbed, I will definitely thank you again."

Mr. Jiang thought for a while, and felt that he could only make some benefits on the three brothers of the Li family to make up for the loss tonight, so he went to Jiang Vagina outside: "Jiangyin, you go and call the three brothers of the Li family."

"Okay.

Jiang Yin's face has always been gloomy, extremely ugly, his mood will not be much better than his old son, so many treasures have been robbed, it will be all his things in the future, his own things have been robbed, who can stand this.

After a while, Zhu Cihong and the three of them walked into the hall, looking at the faces of Master Tang and the Jiang family's father and son, he felt a little funny in his heart, the loss of money tonight was none of his business.

"Three, please be seated.

Jiang Zongshang showed a wry smile, then pointed to the seat, and after seeing the three of them seated, he said again: "After talking to Lord Tang about the thieves tonight, I talked about your affairs again, saying that it is to let your Li family's business settle down here as soon as possible."

"I am really grateful that the general business has encountered such an accident, and it is still bothering you to deal with the affairs of the villain with the adult.

Li Ruolian hurriedly stood up and thanked him, although Yangzhou has done it, but it still needs to be done.

"That's right, I communicated with Master Tang, and the draw is three out of ten.

Jiang Zongshang said, without waiting for Li Ruolian to speak, and said: "This is a commission of private salt, and the rest of the business, according to the normal tax, is adding a little more, one out of twenty, of course, when the time comes, Lord Tang will use his connections in Jiangnan to help you until your business can be done smoothly, what do you think?" Li Ruolian

did not speak, but glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he saw that His Royal Highness did not react, he made a thinking look.

And Zhu Cihong looked at a few people, sneering in his heart, the commercial tax is one out of thirty, and this group of people has been raised to one out of twenty, these corrupt officials have to be greedy for everything, disaster relief, military food, military salaries, taxes, and bribes, which is really good, no wonder the revenue of the Ming treasury is getting smaller and smaller year by year, such a law, officials take a private percentage and increase taxes, which people can stand it, the officials, businessmen, gentry and gentry are rich and oily, and the poor are poor to death.

Now, let you cool down first, and then let them all spit it out, thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ruolian.

"Yes, no problem, we have to go down to Nanjing immediately to have a look, and we plan to buy a house in Nanjing to live in in the future."

Li Ruolian immediately understood what His Royal Highness meant, so he opened his mouth and agreed, even if this refreshing appearance made the other party look stupid, but he didn't have time to bargain with them, besides, the other party didn't accept His Highness's money, how could he do it after that.

"Okay, refreshing.

Jiang Zongshang's face finally showed a light smile that was not forced and not forced, the other party was so refreshing, he looked like he was rich, and when the time came, he could still make a lot of money by selling more goods to the other party.

But in the eyes of Master Tang, it doesn't feel right, three out of ten, it can be said that it is a very high draw, and it is also a profiteering industry like private salt, if it is another business, then the other party will not make money at all, and even lose money, but this person is too refreshing, a little wrong, but it is not right there, and it can't be said.

Because these three people are not like officials, and they are not like the imperial history from the capital, Jinyi Wei, I don't feel like this style, this person looks stupid and has a lot of money, where it looks like a family that has been doing business for generations, it is completely more like the children of a ruined family.

"Since that's the case, then the official will go back first.

Master Tang stood up and said, "For everything, you will listen to the arrangement of Mr. Jiang, and then take a percentage and taxes, and after you get the goods, you will come with Mr. Jiang to find me in the yamen."

"Lao Jiang, the matter of the bandits, this official will definitely make every effort to search and seal the city, you can rest assured." "

I don't think it's right, but if there is money to be made, of course he won't refuse, but he still has to be prepared to take a look.

"Brother Li, come.

After Mr. Jiang saw that Master Tang was leaving, he talked to Li Ruolian about specific matters.

......

"I went to ask Lord Zhao to come over from Yangzhou Salt Transport, and said that there was something important to discuss.

After Governor Tang returned to the Yamen, he began to do things, and then called another person and instructed: "Send someone to guard the door of Jiang's house, and when the three brothers of the Li family come out, they will follow to see what the other party does, whether they are really doing business with Jiang Zongshang." Although

he wants money very much, but there should be caution or there is still to have, and this is not enough, he is also very good at good relations with Nanjing, in addition to the commission, every New Year's holiday, gifts must be given, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago.

"What's the matter, so anxious.

After a while, Yangzhou Salt Transport made Lord Zhao come to the house, looking at Lord Tang who was frowning, he was also a little surprised in his heart, it was rare to see the other party show such a difficult expression.

"The Jiang family's mansion has been robbed, do you know about this?"

"Yes, but what does this have to do with me.

Lord Zhao sat down, picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "You came to me, wouldn't it be for this little thing?"

Master Tang said: "The guards of the Jiang family had a big fight with that group of thieves, and many blood thieves died, and we found a token on one thief." "

What token?" Lord

Zhao immediately became alert, most of the people who could use the token were people from the government, and this had to be vigilant.

"Jinyiwei token.

Master Tang took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Lord Zhao.

"What!"

Lord Zhao's face changed, and he hurriedly took the token and looked at it carefully, engraved on the front: Jinyi Wei pro-army command envoy, and on the reverse side: Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Captain Rao Wei.

The engraved pattern of the token, the background of the word also has the seal engraving of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, although it is very light, but it is about the anti-fake, and if there is a Jinyi Wei missing, lost contact, or died, the yamen will issue an official document, with the knowledge to go down, the token will be invalid immediately, that is, others want to take this token to impersonate, there is no way.

"This is indeed the token of Jinyiwei, how many are in the Jiang family?" Lord

Zhao suddenly panicked, after all, they were engaged in a private salt business, if before, the imperial court sent some kind of salt patrol to the imperial history, they were not afraid, but Jinyiwei secretly did things here, and he would definitely panic a little, especially now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in power, Jinyiwei is different, it is not the same as before, it is much more powerful than when Wei Zhongxian was in power.

"Five, one dead, and four at large.

Master Tang frowned, and said: "They went to the Jiang family to investigate commercial crimes, but this should be a matter for the Fusi of the South Town, and the Fusi of the North Town must not exceed their authority, so it should not be a commercial matter to investigate." "

Although they are far away in Yangzhou, they are still paying attention to the affairs of the capital at all times, and they all know that the prince has to reform the Jinyi Guard.

"In this way, you send someone to Nanjing to talk about this matter, blockade Jiangnan, those four people get portraits, and then send them over, and they are wanted for chasing bandits, and you must not go back.

Master Tang showed a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and said, "No matter what happens to these four people, they must be eradicated."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as I get back." "

Lord Zhao is humane.

"By the way, after the two Huai Salt Administrations were transferred to Lord Wu and recalled to the capital, what news was there?"

Lord Tang suddenly remembered this.

"There is no news, after Lord Wu entered Beijing, he was asked by the cabinet to talk, and then there was no news, it should be about the salt tax here, nothing more than anything, all taxes in the future, including the salt tax, will be all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Taxation, and Lord Wu will probably be transferred. "

Lord Zhao is humane.

"Hehe, it's just collecting taxes, not salt.

Master Tang didn't feel anything, sneered, and said: "The officials in the entire Jiangnan are sparse, and refusing to carry out such a major reform is against the ancestral system, I don't believe it, the prince can withstand this pressure, and he can't bear it, when the time comes, His Majesty will not let the prince come in such a mess."

"Taxation Department, Grain Reserve Division, Daming Money Village?"

"Hehe, if you want to control local money and grain, how can it be so simple!"

Soon, five portraits were pasted all over Yangzhou City, one was a portrait of a stealing god, and the other four were portraits of Jinyiwei lurking in the Jiang family.

Seal the city gates, the whole city is wanted!
