Chapter 939 Advance and retreat (2)
Seeing the servant packing his luggage, Master Zhang recalled today's events and couldn't help but say, "Suiyuan is really poisonous and has great methods."
"It's easy to say, but it's hard to get your mind a little bit, but you can't seem too timid... It's hard to get your prince into a trap a little bit."
Hou Ruliang smiled bitterly, "Looking back now, Qian Zhancai's usual method was used to wipe out more than 100 censors in the court with 300 giant trees, laying the foundation for the great business events."
"Forget it, Dongweng doesn't get involved in this matter anyway, so it's easy to get out. As long as Wang Zimin and Suiyuan have agreed, they won't tear them up or bite them." Master Zhang sighed: "It's a pity that Dongweng's plan has not been achieved this time."
"Not necessarily!" Hou Ruliang suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'll gain something when I go to Zhaobao Village today."
"Wang Zhi is willing to help Dongweng with his help?" Master Zhang was very surprised.
"Wang Zhi did not say it clearly, and he entrusted all the counselors around him. This person has a good understanding of sea transportation and canal transportation, and is not a common item." Hou Ruliang frowned and said, "This person's surname is Fang, and he seems to have heard of it..."
"Fang Dun, whose courtesy name is Heze, was from Yingtianfu, Zhili, Nanzhili. I heard that I had read books and then turned to business." Master Zhang leaned closer and whispered: "Although I live in a quiet place, I am quite famous. There is rumors in the countryside that this person was once the master of Xu Hai."
"What?" Hou Ruliang's eyes widened, "Xu Hai's master... I heard that Xu Hai and Wang Zhi are mortal enemies!"
"Yes, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi fought at the sea for more than a year, and Wang Zhi and his adopted sons died in Xu Hai's hands. Mao Haifeng's arm was broken by Xu Hai himself."
"The Shangyu victory, Qi Yuanjing wiped out Xu Hai, and Wu Weixi, Yu Zhifu blocked the retreat, and Xu Hai almost fled back to his nest alone. As a result, when Wang Zhi blocked the door, it was said that Fang Dun offered Xu Hai's head." Master Zhang tilted his head and thought for a while, "This person agrees to start shipping?"
Hou Ruliang nodded, "It seems that Wang Zhi trusts him very much, and he trusts him more than those adopted sons."
"Do you want to try it tomorrow?"
Hou Ruliang hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "Stop for a while, let's talk about it when Wang Zimin's matter is over."
That night, many people tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
In Zhaobao Village, Wang Zhi was thinking that Wang Bengu had already sent the fleet to sea, and the tax and silver standards remained unchanged. Every move and every move was Xiao Rules and Cao Sui, and he was well-like, and should have little impact on business affairs.
Qian Rui was wondering what his son had to do and would he directly reveal the smuggling of Dong Jiahui with the Southeastern big households?
But now the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and the general of Zhejiang are all Xu Jie's disciples. If we join forces to penetrate the matter, it may not have a good effect.
Hou Ruliang was carefully planning, after Wang Bengu retreated, was it possible for him to maintain contact with Wang Zhi, and was it possible for the other party to provide assistance?
I was still wondering whether to write a few letters to Mr. Fang after returning to Hangzhou...
Sun Ying slept until dawn, and for this, he couldn't help but be grateful to Wang Bengu. Since he took office as the magistrate of Zhenhai, he has been in a hurry every day, let alone numbing, but he just wanted to rest. He was Jingchuan Gong holding a stick to chase people behind him.
However, after Wang Bengu came, Sun Ying finally had a rest, and even pulled a few staff members to play mahjong together... Tang Shunzhi would not be disturbed this time.
As for Wang Bengu, when he forced Hou Ruliang to Zhenhai County, the latter had sharp eyes and found that Wang Bengu's temples were already slightly white.
"Sir Zhongcheng, Brother Zimin." Sun Ying yawned, "So early..."
"Wenhe." Hou Ruliang said with a smile: "I heard that Jingchuan Gong praised Wenhe for his diligence, but I didn't expect to be lazy today..."
"Oh oh oh..." Sun Ying interrupted with emotion: "I finally found out."
"Although he is the inspector, he is in charge of commercial affairs and has personally managed the government office. He has not checked the accounts immediately and searched the warehouse for the deposit of silver?"
"I've been waiting for several days..."
"I'm still thinking about whether to come to the door in person and give me a reminder."
As Sun Ying's sarcastic words were sarcastic, Wang Bengu's face became paler and whiter, and Hou Ruliang even felt that his hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wenhe, please say a few words." Hou Ruliang said smoothly: "No matter what, the tax and silver are reduced sharply, and Ningbo Government Office and Zhenhai County Office are responsible..."
"Naturally." Sun Ying laughed and said, "But Lord Zhongcheng may not know, Brother Zimin should know... Last December, Jingchuan Gong and Sun both wrote to the court, mentioning that the smuggling of large Southeast households was rampant, causing tax silver to drop."
Wang Bengu's mouth moved, and he naturally remembered this incident, and it was because of this incident that caused a fierce conflict between Gao Gong and Li Mo... Li Mo, who had been able to fight Gao Gong, even fell ill because of this. It is said that he had been to Xiyuan Zhilu in a few days this year.
Thinking about it now, the pit was dug up early, and even pointed out the reason for the decline in tax and silver in the memorial...
Wang Bengu gritted his teeth and said sternly: "If you want to kill me, Wenhe might as well give it a try!"
"Just try it." Sun Ying said disdainfully: "The fish will die, and the net may not be broken!"
To translate it, Wang Bengu suspected that Suiyuan had already smuggled the Dong family and the big households into the court. In that case, Wang Bengu himself must be...at least the Dong family would definitely pull him into the water.
"Okay, okay, don't say these angry words." Hou Ruliang rubbed his eyebrows and felt helpless. "Even if he wrote to the court in advance, he would definitely be held accountable... at least he would be held accountable for Jingchuan."
"Mr. Jingchuan has been working hard to do business. Even if the court does not commit crimes, he probably doesn't want to see the Zhenhai Rebellion!"
Looking back at Wang Bengu, Hou Ruliang whispered: "If Brother Zimin insists on moving forward and sending the memorial to the cabinet, Yuan Fu, the second servant will definitely nod, and the censor will temporarily take charge of business affairs in the future... Hou remembers that there is no one in Suiyuan in the Censorate of the Central Beijing."
"Still move forward?" Sun Ying said with a firm mouth and smiled and said, "Brother Zimin, the day when he is ruined is not far away."
How much anger has been suffered these days, I will be prepared to exert as much energy today, and at least I will have to pay back my money. Sun Ying has long seen through Wang Bengu's nature and will never insist on continuing to take charge of business affairs.
Hou Ruliang's sincere and sincere heartfelt thoughts, but Wang Bengu deserves his name as "Stone" like a stone and refuses to say a word. Sun Ying has been worried for so long and is not afraid of anything now, but he has the leisure to cough.
Until Wang Bengu's neck was exposed and he couldn't help but tear his face apart, Sun Yingcai said lazily: "This matter is known to everyone in Zhenhai, and it is not easy to cover up..."
"Wenhe was joking. Did Qian Longquan plan for a long time and not have the means to deal with the aftermath?" Hou Ruliang smiled and said, "Wenhe, what's the point?"
"Can you say anything?" Sun Ying glanced at Wang Bengu, "Ningbo Prefect."
Wang Bengu snorted, "It is impossible, Wang cannot decide this matter."
