In the entire Guangzhou city, less than 10% of the shops opened were all snacks, groceries, etc. Teahouses, restaurants, grain, cloth, silk and other businesses were all closed. Hundreds of people went to the prefect's office to petition, and the reason was very simple. They were afraid and just asked the government to tell the ordinary people what happened.

It also allows these businessmen to do business with peace of mind.

Bai Minghe has nominally left Guangzhou City and is now talking with Sun Yuanjun.

Before he arrived in Guangzhou, Sun Yuanjun had already heard that something happened here was not because of his own accident, but because his husband was too ruthless and directly attacked the governor's office.

Sun Yuanjun was very scared, even if she was not fully informed.

The white-known crane sat on a rocking chair, holding a few Lingnan lychees in his hand. They were not as sweet as those improved by later generations. They were a little sour but were extremely delicious.

"Husband, today's Guangzhou merchants will be dismissed, and tomorrow all over Guangdong will be dismissed."

"Is that true?" Bai Minghe just pretended to be listening to jokes.

"A literati value integrity. None of you speaks, but the sergeant confiscated the home of the governor. With this, once someone organizes it in Guangdong, officials will be dismissed from office. In order to appease Guangdong, will the court kill 100 officials or their husband's head?" Sun Yuanjun was really worried about Baiminghe.

The white-known crane laughed: "Kill all the officials in Guangdong, and I, the white-known crane, will not shed a single hair!"

"Why?" Sun Yuanjun was puzzled.

"If you don't understand, I can't say anything. When Jin Jieduo comes back from the capital, he will definitely come back within one month. Within this month, I wish they were dismissed from office, and I will turn the entire Guangdong into a military-controlled province. At that time, I will see how many people are not afraid of death." Bai Minghe sneered.

Sun Yuanjun understood, even if Bai Minghe didn't explain the real reason, she understood it.

There must be some fatal trump card in the hands of the white-famous crane.

After having breakfast with Sun Yuanjun, Bai Minghe went to the small study in the side courtyard. For safety reasons, Bai Minghe could not be ashamed to see Hu.

In the study, Hu Xuan was sorting out the information he had collected in the past two days.

Seeing Bai Minghe coming in, Hu hesitated for a moment and stood up.

Bai Minghe smiled and waved his hand: "You don't owe me. According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, there are no official documents from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, or the cabinet. Even if you are still a second-rank official in prison, there is no reason for a second-rank official to give a tribute to the sixth-rank official. Of course, the news of your hanging yourself will probably be released tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The body will definitely not be tested. If it is really necessary, it will be a human head!"

Hu Xuan didn't answer this and directly brought the topic to the strike.

"Master Bai, you can use thunder to deal with the Guangdong merchant gang, but have you ever thought about the sadness of the rabbit and the fox? Do the other nine merchant gangs dare to cooperate with you? Even if it is cooperation, are there no barriers in their hearts? Don't they have a thorn in their hearts? This move by the Guangdong merchant gang is probably a self-harm plan!"

Bai Minghe touched his chin: "What you mean is that the person doesn't care about the Guangdong merchants at all. This is the bait here. I bit them and it was not him who hurt me?"

"This is the reason. It seems that this mysterious man doesn't care about the Guangdong Business Gang at all."

"Then think about it, what did that person ask you to do?" Bai Minghe sat on the chair next to him.

Hu Xuan had thought about this question countless times and immediately replied: "I have asked for nothing. I just know that some people are doing things outside in my name. At least half of the things I don't know. What I know is that no one in Guangdong Province is greedy, and all the money given to all officials is distributed here. It can be said that I bear all the evil things alone. Even if the court comes to investigate and ask for punishment, it is only a few people who lose their heads!"

Bai Minghexin said that this mysterious man really has his own tricks.

Hu Xuan saw that Bai Minghe didn't speak and continued, "These officials in Guangdong are not greedy. But they have money in their hands, so there is no need to greedy."

"If you fall, no one will give them money. This will cut off their life."

"That's right, according to the income of officials, the one they are not a big family and a big business. If they cut off this wealth path, they will not be able to find another immediately. So in less than two or three months, there will be chaos. What you lose is not only the official heart, but also the people's hearts. Many officials and the people's hearts are real honest officials and parents!"

Bai Minghe took a breath and thought to himself that this was really scary.

"You want to deal with them, and I don't have any evidence to give them some money. What can you do?"

"What can I do? I'll give them some money?" Bai Minghe asked twice in a row.

"Will you split?" Hu Xuan asked a very practical question.

Bai Minghe is different from him. Even if Bai Minghe has money, he cannot share it. How to explain this amount after the money is paid. How to deal with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and how to deal with officials from other provinces?

But if Bai Minghe cured these people's sins, Bai Minghe would be the evil one in the hearts of the people of Guangdong.

Only the evil ones will kill the innocent officials.

"So, what about publishing his property and asking them to explain the source of the property?" Bai Minghe asked again.

Hu shook his head ashamed: "They can find countless excuses, even if they say that their concubines can work in brothels. It is enough to convince the people, and there is no need for the court to believe them. You must know that the people are ignorant, and they only care about the property in their fields and the stability of their families."

"Why is the secret of the revelation? I finally understand. It's not wrong for him to be a Beijing official, but he has no money."

Bai Minghe said it very realistically, and Hu Xiu had nothing to refute.

"Mr. Hu, I said something a few days ago. Today I will tell you. Under absolute power, you can ignore all rules. You just need to help me think about how to find that mysterious guy. Think out all the details you can think of, and then write it down."

Hu Xuan nodded slightly: "Do I have any choice?"

"Yes! Believe me!" Bai Minghe was very confident.

After leaving the door of the small study, Bai Minghe started to curse at the door: "Damn it, I'm angry!"

Whether it was patrolling or working, no one turned to see Bai Minghe's shout. They knew very well what they should say, and what they should pretend not to hear.

Bai Minghe found someone who could speak and be the leader of the East Factory here.

"Go to arrange two things. The first thing is to put out Hu Xi's body at night, but it doesn't have to be seen for people. The news was released, and Hu Xi left an account book when he was dying. The account book had already fallen into the hands of Bo Baiminghe, the master of Lianzhou. The second thing was to release news in Guangzhou, saying that the young master had decided to decide the Guangdong merchants. In the future, all their goods would be reduced by 10%. If you buy the small goods, the price would be increased by 20%.

"Yes!" The head of the East Factory didn't even ask why and went straight to do business.

The news spread very quickly, and within half a day, the entire Guangzhou city had spread. Not only was it a question of salt prices, but of course the harsh words of Bai Minghe.

In a restaurant in Guangzhou City that was closed for business, six people sat around a round table.

On one side are the three major merchant gangs in Jiangnan. The strongest Hui merchants are the emerging Ningbo merchants, the Longyou merchants (Zhejiang merchants). On the other side are the three major merchant gangs in the north. The Qin merchants that monopolize the northwest grain, salt and cotton, Lupin, which is the whole people's business, and Gan merchants (Jiangxi merchants) who are famous for their business ethics.

"The Shanxi merchants have no identity, so they have not invited them. Those with status need to have five or six days at the fastest. The matter of transporting grain in the north is their current major event. Since they have made a promise, they will naturally do it beautifully."

The young Wang Fulin was explaining to several seniors.

"The clerks didn't dare to come. They were worried about how to wipe their butts clean!"

"The people like Xu Shang are both businessmen and thieves. If they didn't have an explanation this time, it would probably be as simple as breaking off contact. I am definitely not a slutty person who observes Bai Minghe, who is definitely not a slut. But I haven't pursued them yet. I guess they are giving them a chance. I hope that the old guys from the Fu Gang are not so short-sighted!"

The person who spoke was an old senior from Huizhou merchants, Xie Yiyuan from Xie Family Tea Garden.

The Confucian businessman was a respected old businessman. He always had a derogatory attitude towards the merchants.

"I didn't ask Fulin to invite those people in Dongting Lake. Their little boys were too clever and didn't understand until now, so I gave it to you first and then got it. There were only a few hundred looms, and I had to make them when I saw the mahjong. I didn't associate with this vision. I have arranged for people to make thousands of looms, and even if I have idle face, I have to hold on!"

What Xie Yiyuan means is, if you don’t give, why do you have to repay?

This is completely different from another sentence: if you want to take it, you must give it first.

Liu Zhi of the Qin Gang bowed and asked, "The Guangdong Gang has done this time. If the Guangdong Gang is excluded this time, Mr. Xie is a senior, so you must give me an idea."

"This is a good thing. It's not that I think I can divide the members of the Guangdong Gang. But I take this opportunity to take a good look at Bai Minghe. Your Liu family is afraid that you will not know Bai Minghe. People will change when you are studying and after entering the officialdom. What's more, you have to hold heavy troops and have countless wealth. I have to see if he can keep his true heart."

"The Guangdong Gang is not as simple as you imagine. There is a weirdness behind it. Maybe this time it will be a good thing for the Guangdong Gang. Although it will be severely damaged, if it holds up, it will be reborn!"

Long You Lu Tianxing took out a blood letter from his arms.

"A fellow villager entrusted me to me, he only said that he didn't want to die inexplicably. The letter said that he had a big handle in the hands of Guangdong people, and he obeyed Guangdong in his actions. He was unwilling to accept his heart and virtue, but he died in a foreign land when he took office. I have kept this letter for seven years."

The other five people circulated one by one, but without exception, they kept silent.
