Within the Suichang County Procuratorate, the inspector Sun Qian'an sat upright on the official hat and chatted with a man who looked like a servant.

"Chen Qianhu, this time I really made you feel wronged."

"Mr. Sun is so rude. We are all doing things for His Majesty, and some sacrifices are also due."

It turned out that this servant was not Sun Qian'an's follower, but Chen Lian, the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi, was in charge of the Qianhu Xing.

This time, Sun Qian'an inspected Suichang County on an open face, and the Jinyiwei cooperated secretly. Compared to the inspector of the Censor, the shock caused would be too great if the Jinyiwei came to the place.

In order not to alert the enemy, Chen Lian simply pretended to be Sun Qian's servant. This not only did not easily lead to doubt, but also allowed to get close to these officials and gentry.

Of course, Chen Lian did not come alone. He brought a total of ten lieutenants under his command during this trip, all of whom came to Suichang as a servant Sun Qi'an.

Originally, Chen Lian wanted to bring more people, but considering that Sun Laian was just an inspector, he would be unreasonable if he brought too many accompanying servants, so he had to give up.

As for Sun Qian, he was not very reluctant to cooperate with Jinyiwei.

Generally speaking, the civil servant class hates the Jinyiwei very much and regards it as a vicious and virtuous hawk.

But Sun Qian'an saw the situation clearly.

When Zi ascended the throne today, he made drastic reforms, one of the most important ones was the re-establishment of factory guards.

In defeating the Donglin Party and the nobles rebelled, the factory guards also played an important role.

In Sun Qian's opinion, the emperor would definitely use the Jinyiwei's quick knife to divide the power of the civil servant.

His arms could not resist his thighs. Instead of following the civil servants to make trouble, he might as well cooperate with the Jinyiwei according to Jun's will.

Therefore, this time the emperor issued an order to investigate the Suichang Gold Mine, and Sun Qian took the initiative to ask for his order, willing to block the sword for the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

With Sun Qian'an attracting attention, the Jinyiwei can let go of his hands and feet, thoroughly investigate the complex relationship between the officials and gentry of Suichang, and follow the clues to figure out how Suichang gold mines were mined from the court to individuals.

Sun Qian'an firmly believed that he would occupy a place in the emperor's heart after the matter was completed.

When Sun Qian was excited when he thought that he would become the character of Jane Zai Di Xin.

"Has Chen Qianhu thought about how to investigate thoroughly?"

Sun Qian swallowed and said, "If there is a place where I need my help, Chen Qianhu might as well say it bluntly. I will do my best."

Chen Lian nodded gently: "Mr. Sun is intent. As long as you interact normally with the officials and gentry of Suichang, you can leave the rest to our Jinyiwei."

"Then Chen Qianhu will be troubled."

After a few words of chat, they heard someone knocking on the door.

Chen Lian looked solemn and came to the door a few steps. The Xiuchun Knife had been unsheathed.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he opened the door and saw that it was Zheng Zhi, a small banner that was placed on Qianhu Institute.

"Why, someone came to the procuratorate?"

It turns out that Zheng Zhi is playing the role of a temporary sect official at this moment. If there is any disturbance, he will naturally be the first to know.

"The Qianhu Lord is wise and is from the county government office. Please invite Lord Sun to the reception banquet."

At this time, Sun Qian also walked out and saw that there was no outsider in the yard, so he asked directly: "So fast? I haven't had a long rest yet."

"I guess I'm afraid that after a long time, Lord Sun would think they were deliberately neglecting."

Zheng Zhi said lightly.

"I blocked him back and said I'll report to my master. Lord Sun, will you go to this reception banquet or not?"

"Go, of course you have to."

Sun Qian'an said loudly: "If I don't leave, the magistrate of Suichang County will definitely think that I am dissatisfied with him. If it causes him to panic, it will be detrimental to the Jinyiwei to handle the case."

"Mr. Sun was very thoughtful."

Chen Lian nodded gently.

"It's time for Chen to accompany Lord Sun in this reception banquet."

Chen Lian pretended to be Sun Qian's personal servant, and he would not arouse suspicion if he followed Sun Qian to the reception banquet.

"Then I will have to be wronged Chen Qianhu again. I am sorry."

Sun Qian intended to hold the thick legs of the Jinyiwei tightly, so he was naturally very polite to Chen Lian.

"Mr. Sun doesn't need to say much. In order to do the errands assigned by the emperor, Chen will not hesitate to do any more grievances."

...

...

"Master, I heard that you bought a new pearl. Can you give it to me?"

In the study of He Mansion, He Rong's concubine Yun Niang said in a coquettish voice while pinching He Rong's shoulders.

He Rong felt that his bones were almost slimming. He opened his eyes and hugged Yun Niang in his arms, rubbing her beautiful buttocks through the thick horse-faced skirt.

"You little fairy, the news is so good. Master, you will know less than half a day after I bought the pearl."

Yun Niang acted coquettishly and said, "Master, are you willing to do it or not? I just want to take a look."

Among He Rong's eighteen wives and concubines, Yun Niang is the most popular at present. This is because she was born in a brothel and was proficient in various room techniques. She was able to serve He Rong in different ways and was very skilled under the bed.

After all, He Rong was old and his physical strength was no longer as good as when he was young, but under Yun Niang's service, he found the pleasure of having a first taste of human affairs.

"You! Master, aren't mine all yours?"

He Rong scraped Yun Niang's nose with a doting pamperingly and said softly: "Wait, I'll get it for you."

He Rong gently put Yun Niang aside, walked to the desk and took a very exquisite wooden box.

He opened the wooden box and took out a pearl as big as a lychee.

"How about it, is this bead big enough? It's best to put it on the phoenix crown."

The late Ming Dynasty had long been ceremonial and music, and the people rushed to imitate python robes and phoenix crowns, and the imperial court continued to ban it.

A wealthy family like the He family even covers the sky with their hands in the local area. Even if they are hiding a python robe, the phoenix crown is not a big deal.

"It's still the master who loves me."

Yun Niang came to He Rong and took the beads and played with them carefully.

"I heard that a pearl as big as a lychee is enough to cost a thousand yuan, which seems to be really good."

"Do you know why this Dongzhu is so expensive?"

He Rong intended to show off and raised his eyebrows.

"I'll ask you for advice."

Yun Niang said very well.

"That's because of scarcity. Scarcity is precious. Pearl collectors take great risks when collecting pearls, and they may die in the sea. Especially beads like this big one are hard to come by."

He Rong paused for a moment and said proudly: "But this little money is nothing to me. It is worth a thousand gold? So what if it is worth ten thousand gold?"

Someone else may be boasting about what he said, but He Rong can say that.

Because the entire Suichang Gold Mine is now named He, let alone a pearl as big as a lychee, as long as there are enough pearls, he can afford ten or twenty.

"Master, I heard that the inspector and the censor came to Suichang. You should be careful during this period."

Perhaps because he thought He Rong was too arrogant, Yun Niang reminded him.

"The inspector and the censor are different? Are you not greedy for money as an official? Master, I will smash a few hundred taels of gold and I can settle him!"
