Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci, who was far away in southern Fujian, didn't know that he had caused another disturbance in the capital. After discussing with Du Yu that day, he returned to Zhangzhou Mansion by boat.There are people coming and going on the Zhangzhou Mansion Wharf. Compared with the desertedness before, people still prefer lively scenes.

Since the Japanese pirates were eliminated, everything has returned to peace, and the people who were originally prohibited from traveling can come and go as they please.After Zhao Kuan's identity was revealed, the navy took over large and small wharves in Nanfu Province.

In order to prevent businessmen from communicating with foreign countries from happening again, Fan Ju made a notice with a list of contraband, copied it and posted it at the major docks.In addition to the old three kinds of salt and iron tea, various grains and cotton have been added.These two can feed one's hunger and keep out the cold, both of which are included in the war preparation supplies.

In addition, some more precious living creatures or those with special functions are no longer allowed to be transported out to sea.

The soldiers in charge of guarding must strictly follow the above requirements.If anyone is found to have more than five catties of contraband, the ship will be impounded, and the relationship between the eighteen generations of the owner's ancestors will be investigated before they can be released.In severe cases, you may even end up in jail.

The strict system made people dare not take the risk of smuggling those things out. Anyway, their original business was not related to these things.Those who do business seriously don't have to worry about it, but those who do some illegal activities by the pier are caught blind.They tried to bribe the inspecting soldiers, but the money went into other people's bags and they were arrested.

Because in the notices issued by Admiral Fan Ju of the Navy, there were also notices aimed at the soldiers. Basically, they were punished by expulsion from the military for one mistake.Under such a high-voltage line, basically no one would gamble with their wealth and future.

Under such control, the ethos in Nanfu Province was so solemn that even those thieves dared not come out, for fear of attracting the attention of the government and being arrested as spies.

The weather in Southern Fujian Province is getting better day by day, but Lin Futong, the governor, still claims to be sick at home.The reason is that Zhao Kuan, whom he repeatedly went to protect, turned out to be a spy who had been lurking in the country for a long time.No matter how powerful he was, he would never have imagined that he would become entangled with a spy in his life!

Ever since a large amount of food was found at the bottom of Zhao Kuan's cabin that day, countless eyes in the government have been watching his every move, and everyone is waiting for him to fall off the horse and come over and step on it.If Shangguan could be impeached at will, the memorial to the capital might not fit in a large ship.

In Southern Fujian Province, Zhu Wei is the only one who is qualified to impeach him.If this hadn't happened before, Zhu Wei might still miss their long-standing friendship and turn a blind eye.But after this happened, he no longer had any hope in his heart.

Zhu Wei will not let him go, just as he will not let Zhao Kuan go if he gains power.But that doesn't mean he's resigned.He had already written to that person, as long as he said a few more good words, he would be able to escape.If not, don't blame him for explaining everything clearly.

Lin Futong's abacus was clanging, but would the result really be as good as he imagined?I'm afraid not at all.Qi Luzhi, a grasshopper who was tied to the same rope as Lin Fu, had become anxious all day long. In fact, a large part of the officials in Southern Fujian Province were very disturbed.

When a rich man emerges from the local area, the local officials will naturally benefit, but if something happens to them, they will also be the first to be held accountable.

It's just that the court's handling has not yet come down, and they spend every day tremblingly with the mind of muddling along.

However, there was only two or three days between Zhu Wei's good news and the date of the report letter.Although the delivery of the good news was faster, the court still received Zhu Wei's report six days later.

In the letter, the matter of Lin Futong's close contacts with Zhao Kuan was clearly explained, and Lin Futong's unusual behavior in those few days was also highlighted.

Emperor Tianhe was shocked when he saw it, and ordered people to pass on the report. Today is the Chang Dynasty, and there are not many people, so it spreads all over the place in a short while.The ministers immediately talked about it, and some of them were more irritable, and even called spies directly.

Tianhe Emperor was naturally furious about it.If Chuci hadn't found the grain at the bottom of the boat that day, Zhao Kuan would have been able to deliver the grain to the Japanese people.Once the Japanese get supplies, they will be even more powerful, and they will definitely continue to commit crimes.With a group of them ambushing at the border, the Japanese expeditionary force may not retreat easily, and there will be a fierce battle at that time!And all of this was caused by Lin Futong's wrong decision.

The more Emperor Tianhe thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to send someone to Nanfu Province to investigate and dismiss Lin Futong immediately, and escort him to Beijing to wait for his punishment.At this time, there was a different voice.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. I think there may be something else going on in this matter." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment said.

Tianhedi suppressed his anger reluctantly, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, I want to say that since ancient times, thieves have been caught and stolen, and a case must have evidence before a judgment can be made. Now, just based on Marshal Zhu's one-sided words, it is necessary to convict a provincial official. This, yes Isn't it a bit of a joke?" Mr. Wei, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, looked upright and serious, lowered his head, and stood on the spot neither humble nor overbearing.

Tianhedi's anger subsided a little, he picked up the report letter and looked at it again, and found that there was no real evidence to prove that Lin Futong had indeed accepted bribes.

Someone stood up and retorted: "Every move of Lin Futong was carried out under the watchful eyes of the public. It is impossible to deny that he shielded the spy Zhao Kuan, right? Who would defend another person unconditionally like this? Both They are neither relatives nor old friends, so there must be some shady activities involved. As long as Lin Futong is arrested and interrogated severely, the truth will surely come to light soon."

"Heh, Mr. Fang strictly interrogates all the cases? I don't know that there is such a thing as torture in this world." Mr. Wei sneered, "Before Zhao Kuan's identity was revealed, he was an ordinary citizen in Southern Fujian Province. How about asking his parents and officials?" What's wrong with defending the people under your own jurisdiction? Could this also be a shady business? I think, Mr. Lin just loves the people like a son, and was blinded by the traitor for a while."

"It's nonsense! If he is just an ordinary citizen, why does he have to go to sea? Obviously he is already the main suspect of the Navy, but Lin Futong still insists on letting him go to sea. Is it just for your so-called protection of the people? His behavior Almost let the navy's arrangement fall short, just because it was deceived?"

"It's all just your guesswork..."

The two adults Wei Fang kept fighting with each other, and neither of them could convince the other.Tianhedi's head grew big when he heard it, and he pressed his temple tiredly.

"No one can say for sure what the truth is now. I believe that what the two adults said is reasonable. However, we must pay attention to evidence in handling the case. Lin Futong is a provincial official with a very important position, not an impeachment letter. We can draw a conclusion. Once this case is opened, I am afraid that in the future, empty-handed accusations will prevail, and some unjust, false and wrong cases will inevitably be caused by then. It will be too late for regret. Therefore, I think it is better for the Holy Majesty to send imperial envoys to Southern Fujian Investigate this case, if there is something true, it will be too late to bring him to justice. I don’t know what the Holy One wants?"

As soon as Zuo Xiang opened his mouth, there was no sound in the hall.What he said was indeed reasonable, Tianhe Emperor thought about it, then nodded in agreement, and asked the left and right prime ministers to nominate a candidate for the imperial envoy before making a decision.He felt a little unwell, and hurriedly retreated.

Prime Minister Zuo lowered his head and promised, but there was a glint of darkness in his eyes.This is the emperor, don't trust him.
