On this day, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau came to provide disaster relief at the order of the emperor. The 30,000 people in Jinling City received the 500,000 taels of silver from Feng Linggan. When all the silver was distributed, it was already early the next morning.

Feng Linggan fell off his horse, sprained his waist, and was sent back to Juzhuang. It is said that Feng Linggan wiped tears in the empty silver box for a night.

The eight words "The emperor's grace is so great that he can provide disaster relief with orders" hung on Feng Linggan's head like a sharp sword. Even if he gave him a hundred courages and gave out the money, he would not dare to ask for it back.

The next day, I took the last Kanto camp to visit him. Feng Linggan also asked him about his baby's affairs. I said that after that night, I had never contacted me for convenience. In fact, I was not going to return the thing to him at the beginning. This news made Feng Linggan faint.

I quickly pressed the middle acupoint of someone else and slapped him awake. Feng Ling was sobbing, what should I do?

Feng Bao comforted him, "Eunuch Feng, although you have spent some money, you may be lucky in disguise."

How do you say this?

Feng Baodao: Jinling City is now suffering from disaster. Is it true that the people in the city have no money to spend the winter?

Eunuch Feng said yes.

Feng Bao asked again, is it true that Eunuch Feng paid out of his own pocket to the people under the banner of the emperor?

Eunuch Feng nodded again, yes.

Feng Bao smiled, it depends on what Eunuch Feng said in the memorial to the court.

Feng Linggan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Baoer's brain is good. Why did I forget this? However, our family will never let go of those who secretly plot.

A few days later, the capital came to the court and said that after the emperor learned about this, he praised Feng Ling for being "loyal and brave, and very much in line with my wishes." This made Feng Ling feel like he had eaten candied fruit, and even half of the wound on his waist healed.

That day, Min Qiuye invited me to drink at Tianxianglou, which was considered a bet.

Min Qiuye was in a very comfortable mood. He was already busy with disaster relief. Feng Ling felt that he had lifted the siege of the people of Jinling. I asked, "The emperor's kindness is so great that he was the eight words "relief under the order to provide disaster relief." Min Qiuye was so secretive that he could not say it or say it.

The only thing I was upset about is that I didn’t expect that the capital would give him a reward.

Min Qiuye said that he paid the money himself, and he deserved the reward.

However, Feng Linggan quickly found Min Qiuye from the source of the banner. This made Feng Linggan very annoyed. He put the blackmail of silver on Min Qiuye's head, and it was said that he wanted to give Min Qiuye good looks in private.

I reminded Min Qiuye, but Min Qiuye said, "Min is walking straight and sitting upright. Even if he wants to splash dirty water, he has to have a chance."

I remember Feng Linggan's false accusation of Hu Zongxian that day, and said that Feng Linggan has been operating in Jinling City for many years and has great power. Even Hu Butang fell into his hands. Lord Min must be careful.

The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau broke out these chaos, and Tan Jing, who was sent to the capital, dragged it down again and again, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye.

Jinling Chengfu and the Weaving Bureau each paid 300,000 taels, and the Weaving Bureau each sent out another 100,000 Sujin, a total of eight cargo ships. In addition, there were some antiques, Jiangnan specialties, etc., which also brought together a ship.

This matter is imperative. The matter of escorting the charcoal to the capital fell on Min Qiuye's head. Min Qiuye couldn't trust others, so he entrusted us to be responsible for the matter. First, we came from the capital and had convenient services in the capital; second, the ship responsible for escorting was from the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang was also under the jurisdiction of the Jianghu Department.

After several joint meetings, all silver and property began to be sealed and loaded. Min Qiuye attached great importance to this matter and did not dare to be careless about money, for fear that they would tamper with it.

On this day, we accompanied Min Qiuye to the dock. Under the supervision of the official, boxes of goods were weighed on the dock, and then we made a man-made book and signed it, and put a joint seal between Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and Jinling Prefecture on the box.

Min Qiuye looked at the cargo on the ship and sighed, no matter how miserable the people in the south of the Yangtze River are, the people in the capital can't see it. Captain Su, if you have the chance, you should report it to them.

I nodded and agreed. At this moment, someone rushed over. It was Zhu Xiangtian, the leader of the Cao Gang. This guy was originally very close to the Wang family in Jinling. Recently, the Xie family gained power and defected to the Xie family. He has not had a good reputation in Jinling City. However, in terms of freight transportation capabilities, there is really no one else to bet on this trip except Cao Gang.

Zhu Xiangtian and Min Qiuye knelt down. He had seen Lord Tongzhi, but he didn't know that Lord Min had come and was wrong to welcome him. He also asked to forgive him for his crime.

Min Qiuye was not interested in the people in the Jianghu and didn't give him a good look. He said, "Don't come here to see if there is any problem." Zhu Xiangtian patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Min, my Cao Gang is a century-old store, and I will not do this kind of thing twice, and I will ensure that the task is completed."

Min Qiuye had a tense face, I hope so.

Zhu Xiangtian led us to a pavilion and said, "Mr. Min invites us here, and prepares some wine to relieve the fatigue of several adults."

Min Qiuye said there was no need, and I would not drink alcohol.

Zhu Xiangtian clapped his hands and saw someone lifting the three boxes up. When he opened it, he found that it was white and silver. Each box was nearly a thousand taels. It seemed that Zhu Xiangtian knew this well. If he gave a silver note, one thousand taels would be just a small stack, but the visual impact of these three boxes far exceeded that of silver note.

Min Qiuye said coldly, what does this mean?

Zhu Xiangtian smiled and said that Lord Min has worked hard for the people of Jinling these days, and it is winter, so he has prepared some charcoal and fire money for Lord Min.

Zhang Youqian said that Gangmaster Zhu is such a big deal.

Zhu Xiangtian smiled and said, "Captain Su and Captain Zhang, you two have a share, so you can send it to your mansion later."

Min Qiuye turned around and left, and Zhu Xiangtian ran to Min Qiuye. Sir, please accept it.

Min Qiuye said you want to bribe me?

Zhu Xiangtian shook his head repeatedly and said, "In fact, I have something to ask for."

Min Qiuye stopped and said lightly, let’s talk.

Then Zhu Xiangtian told the story of what he wanted. It turned out that escorting imperial grain and official goods was a fatal miserable to the Cao Gang.

For example, ordinary freight ships, from Jinling to Beijing, walk the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and there are dozens of checkpoints along the way, and each place needs to be collected and pumped. A ship of cargo can be transported to Beijing, and almost 40% to 50%. However, the governments and the forces along the way generally do not interfere.

In this way, the Caobang can use the official goods to do some work, carry some private goods themselves, and transport them to the capital for sale, and save the commission along the way. However, in order to prevent infiltration, the government now needs to check the goods according to the list of records every time they board the ship.

If Zhu Xiangtian wants to entrain, he must get the entrained private goods into legal procedures. The usual method is to normally deliver goods with one set of procedures, and to include another set of procedures. In this way, he can use a plan to conceal the world.

The person in charge of this matter was Ying Tongzhi. Now that something happened to Gong Tongzhi, Min Qiuye took over, so Zhu Xiangtian also followed the custom of going to Min Qiuye's way.

However, Min Qiuye was Min Qiuye, not Gong Tongzhi. His face darkened and said, "Do your work well and avoid these evil ways."

When Zhu Xiangtian heard this, he became a little anxious and blurted out, Lord Min, these goods are not all from our Cao Gang. If you don’t understand it, I can’t handle the bus with Eunuch Feng.

I suddenly realized that there were more cargo ships and Feng Linggan's dry spouses. Min Qiuye said that this official was an official of the Ming Dynasty and only paid the emperor and the people of Jinling City. As for Eunuch Feng, I have no obligation to pay the job to him.

Seeing that Min Qiu's leaves were not inhaled and had no temper, Zhu Xiangtian had to say, "Wait for a moment."

Not long after, Feng Lingguai limped over. It turned out that he had been nearby. As soon as he arrived at the pavilion, he accused him, Min Qiuye, we are officials in the same city in Jinling, but we look up and see each other. Isn’t it good for you to cut off your wealth like this?

Min Qiuye said who am I? Eunuch Feng doesn’t do lost goods and found, and he still has the heart to stare at the ship cargo. It’s really rare, rare! Feng Ling felt his face turned pale and said, Min Qiuye, I’ll ask you, do you make the extra goods or not?

Min Qiuye turned around, turned her back to Feng Lingyan, and followed the rules.

Feng Linggan said, OK, OK, Min Qiuye. As the saying goes, stay at the forefront of doing things and meet in the future. You may not be sure to be in trouble in the future. Don’t blame us for ignoring the mercy.

Min Qiuye said that my father-in-law has been very worried.

Feng Ling said angrily, let’s ride a donkey and read the songbook, and walk and see. After that, he rushed out angrily.

I looked at his back and said, "This man is narrow-minded and will retaliate. He is likely to use a trick behind his back. Lord Min, please be careful."

Zhang Youqian and I were about to set off. Before leaving, I arranged the errands of Jianghu Department to Jiangnan and Liu Sanjin. Fortunately, there was nothing special recently. The game between our Jianghu Department and major sects has begun to be effective, and we are not ready to continue to take action for the time being.

I must continue to investigate the disappearance of Wu Sanlang in Jiangnan Road. As soon as there is a clue, I will write to us immediately.

This time when I returned to the capital, in addition to the Six Gates, the Jinling Prefecture and the Weaving Bureau each sent three people, and there were three officers and soldiers guarding each ship. On October 28th, the autumn was clear and the weather was cool. Zhang Youqian and I completed the handover in the government office, came to the dock, and prepared to set off.

I heard someone shouting, Brother Su, Brother Zhang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed by, it was Xie Junfan, the son of the Xie family in Jinling.

Xie Junfan said, I went out a few days ago. As soon as I came back, I heard that you two were going back to the capital. I rushed forward and finally caught up.

I said, Brother Xie, what's wrong?

Xie Junfan said, do you need a reason to give a farewell to your friends?

The three of them laughed.

Xie Junfan said, I heard that you offended Feng Ling this time. I am here to tell you to be careful on the way. The world has already spoken out and not allowed you to return to the capital alive.

I wonder, who is so proud of his face?

Xie Junfan sighed, I have also heard some of the matters between you and Lord Min. Min Qiuye is not in the air. To put it nicely, it is just a stubborn one. He has been angry with the public in less than half a year and offended the Jinling officialdom.

I said that Governor Yingtian, Lord Zhao, was very satisfied with him. It would be fine. Originally, the officialdom in Jinling was like a pool of stagnant water, and he might have blown up a few big fish after such a riot.

Xie Junfan smiled bitterly, I have been in Jinling for twenty years. I don’t know how deep the water in Jinling is? I’m afraid that the fish will not explode, but I drowned.

I bowed to him and said, Min Qiuye is a good official. You have a deep relationship in Jinling, so please take care of me.

Xie Junfan said he would not mention this anymore. After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and said: After Junyan arrived in the capital, he asked me to bring you a letter. He had never had the chance to give it to you before, but today he brought it to you.

Someone urged me later, Lord Su, the auspicious time has come and the trip has set off!

I said a few more words to Xie Junfan and bowed to say goodbye.

Above the pier, firecrackers sounded and gongs and drums sounded.

Zhang Youqian and I said goodbye to everyone, the boatman took the helm and slowly left the dock.

Zhang Youqian pointed to the letter in my hand and asked, open it and take a look.

I looked at the beautiful little calligraphy on the envelope, remembered Xie Junyan's elegant appearance, and what she said to me when she parted that day, and shook her head with a wry smile.

I relaxed my hand, a breeze blew, and the letter fell into the water, and was immediately swept away by the river.

It is a sorrow of separation that cannot be cut and still can be chaotic.

It has a unique taste in my heart.
Chapter completed!
