The Record of Righteousness

"Get up and hand over all the collected information to our family."

"Yes yes."

Zhao Daneng stood up in fear and was very respectful, but he never expected that the young man in front of him was actually a Qianhu from Dongchang!

Dongchang's informants and secret whistles are all over the states. If they are useful, they will be handed over in code words. Although some secret whistle managers have the title of Dongchang, they have been mediocre all their lives and have not been used.

He, Zhao Daneng, was just a stall holder in Dongchang at best. He only managed about twenty people. The biggest official he had ever seen in his life was probably the Qianhu in front of him. How could he not be nervous?

So, he quickly took out the files he had accumulated over the years, piled them up neatly, and respectfully placed them on Wan Qing's case.

"Sir Qianhu, these have been recorded since I took office in the humble position, from the 20th year of Taifeng to the present."

Wan Qing fiddled with it and couldn't help frowning. He didn't know what he was looking at, but he felt relieved when he saw it.

The secret sentry here is comparable to those in name only in the north, but it is extremely meticulous, streamlined, and well managed.

The records range from the reception and marriage of the vassal kings of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the delivery of land, to the powerful and wealthy merchants, the corrupt transactions of sectarian wealthy families, to the ordinary people's tea chats, folk conversations, customs and strange things, all of which are recorded in detail.

Wan Qing narrowed his eyes and said:

"The Betel Nut King of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shen Sancai, haha, that's a bit interesting."

Zhao Daneng added:

"Sir, this betel nut king, Shen Sancai, was originally from Guangxi. Many years ago, he resold betel nuts across provinces to make a profit. But southerners like to eat betel nuts, so this betel nut king Shen Sancai made a windfall. His family fortune was huge. Once he made a fortune, he took over the entire family. The clan moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people called him King Betel."

Wan Qing snorted coldly, slapped the file in his hand on the case, laughed several times and said coldly:

"A small commoner who doesn't do farming, is opportunistic, and makes some bad money through bad luck, but he dares to call himself king and prime minister. Will he be called emperor in a while? This person is quite famous. How can one be worthy of having such wealth but not caring about the emperor's favor! Those who are doing business and doing business really harm the country and the people."

Having said this, Wan Qing has already started to think about the Betel King Shen Sancai. This guy is known as the Betel King, and his family fortune must be in the millions. Yes, yes, he is a chicken who can be shown to the public.

Zhao Daneng nodded and bowed.

"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"

"Shen Sancai is a tyrannical man, and his servants don't take him seriously. He is causing trouble. If you can take action, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

"In the past few days, Shen Sancai is going to hold a birthday banquet, inviting the rich and powerful people from Jiangnan."

"What is recorded here are all the evidence of Shen Sancai's crimes over the years. Please take a look, sir."

Zhao Daneng took out a yellowed notebook and handed it over respectfully.

Wan Qing took it but didn't look at it. He put it on the case and said confidently:

"No rush, no rush."

"Our family has plenty of means to deal with this common man, and we won't resort to those dirty tricks. A random decree is enough to bankrupt him!"

"Your Excellency is wise."

Wan Qing browsed for more than half an hour, fully understanding the intricate forces in Jiangnan, and finally he saw the four most important figures in this trip!

His brows tightened, and after looking at them for a long time, they gradually relaxed, and he smiled contemptuously:

"Zhao Daneng, your account is quite comprehensive. Haha, from our perspective, the four great literary masters in the south of the Yangtze River are just people who hang out to listen to music and hang out in prostitutes. They are also known as drinking and drinking. These literati are really good at talking about political affairs, so this Xia Yan is a bit interesting."

However, Zhao Daneng said in a deep voice:

"Sir, no one is perfect. With these things, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do against these people."

Wan Qing smiled and said:

"Hahahaha, our family knows that if we can deal with them just by relying on these things, do we still need to take action? But for our family, it is not easy to deal with these few. Among these four people, except Except for Xia Yan, the others are nothing but hypocrites!"

"You don't have to worry about anything else! Just do your job well and you will be rewarded."

The black materials in hand have exposed everything that the so-called literati did. After the holy veil is torn away, what is left is just the most exposed face of ordinary people.

The four great literary leaders in Jiangnan are Xia Yan, Xu Zheng, Fan Qihong, and Zhang Qingcang.

The four people are famous in the literary world and have extremely high attainments in various fields.

As for Xia Yan, this person was known to everyone in the Shuang Dynasty.

Xia Yan was once the tutor of the current emperor. He was a clear official and managed the country well. He was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and was also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. He was awarded the title of Crown Prince, Grand Master, Shaobao, and Shaofu by Emperor Wenzong. Emperor Wenzong favored Xia Yan very highly.

Later, Emperor Wenzong died, and the current emperor ascended the throne at a young age. Xia Yan, then the chief minister, was in great power and launched a major reform. Although the people were happy, it made the officialdom angry and resentful, and the officials were furious. In the early years of Taifeng, Xia Yan was forced to resign. Retire old and return home.

The prestige of Xu, Fan, and Zhang is much smaller than that of Xia Yan. Although the political reputation of these three people is not as high as that of Xia Yan, they are famous for their articles, calligraphy, and landscape paintings, and are highly regarded. Scholars respected it.

Wan Qing read through the so-called young talents who had close contact with those four old guys and frequented Jiangnan scholars. He believed that these were just a group of showmen who only knew how to write and write, and they were nothing to be afraid of!

At the end, one more person caught his attention.

"Zhuge Yuanxu?"

"Why do you only have a few words about Zhuge Yuanxu?"

"My Lord, the origin of Zhuge Yuanxu is extremely mysterious. We only know that he is originally from Sichuan and Shu. After arriving in Jiangnan, he was involved with the Fourth Prince. I dare not investigate further, I am afraid..."

"Hmm~"

Wan Qing was shocked. The Fourth Prince? ! He actually appeared in Jiangnan? ! At the same time, he remembered the name Zhuge Yuanxu in his heart.

In essence, he was absolutely unwilling to participate in the fight for the crown prince. If there was a slight mistake, it would be a disaster. He must be very careful.

He has been working hard in the officialdom for six years, and he even smelled a hint of danger in this Jiangnan with its prostitutes.
