The Water Transport Yamen is divided into two systems, the Pai'an Department and the Gang Yun Department. The highest-ranking official is the transfer envoy, the fourth rank. There are nearly a thousand people in charge of the Water Transport Yamen inside and outside.
"Water transportation is the most lucrative of all the yamen of the imperial court. In the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court once promoted the sale of officials, and the sales were all related to water transportation." Governor Zhang said in a deep voice while leading the way:
"In the 22nd year of Yuanjing, Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu jointly banned the policy of selling officials and nobles. But in just two years, there were so many moths who pretended to be there. Even today, there are still a group of people who eat vegetarian food and steal high positions."
Xu Qi'an didn't pay much attention to Governor Zhang's indignation, but extracted some intriguing points from his words.
It needs the joint efforts of two mortal enemies, Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu, to suppress it. Who is that person who sells his official status?
There is no doubt that it is Emperor Yuan Jing.
In the history books, there are many emperors who sell their officials and nobles, and Emperor Yuan Jing is not an exception. These emperors all have one thing in common: they spend money like water.
And the evaluation of this kind of emperor in the history books will not be very good, at least they have a critical attitude towards this kind of behavior.
When the Yuzhou Water Transport Yamen arrived, the Yamen servants saw a group of men and horses approaching menacingly, headed by a senior official in scarlet robes and a watchman with a golden gong embroidered on his chest.
Without even asking, he rushed into the Yamen to report.
A few minutes later, the transfer envoy of the Yuzhou Water Transport Yamen, a fourth-rank official, hurried out to greet him in person.
This transit envoy was over fifty years old, with a gray beard and an ordinary appearance. There was a mole between his eyebrows, which made his ordinary appearance a little more special.
"My official, Zhang Xingying, is ordered to go to Yunzhou to investigate the case. This is a document from the cabinet." Governor Zhang took out a thin booklet and handed it over.
"It turns out to be the governor. I'm sorry, please come inside." After reading the document, the transshipment envoy respectfully handed it back, then turned sideways, and made a gesture of please.
A group of people entered the yamen, and the transfer envoy led Governor Zhang to the hall of the yamen. After sitting down and watching tea, the transfer envoy smiled and said:
"Your governor is exhausted, but you plan to rest in Yuzhou for a few days?"
He observed the governor from the capital calmly, and only felt that the other party was a serious and boring person. He had never smiled since meeting him.
Are adults from the capital so arrogant?
This transport envoy still doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Governor Zhang waved his hand: "Whether I will stay here or not depends on the progress of the case."
"How do you say that?" the transshipment envoy said in amazement.
Governor Zhang looked out of the hall and said loudly: "Bring it up!"
?Including the bearded man Fang He, sixty-two members of the Yellow Flag Gang were brought up. His body was slightly or severely injured, and his expression was sluggish.
Seeing these people, the transfer envoy stood up in surprise and bewilderment, pointed at them, and looked at Governor Zhang: "What's the matter with these people, why are they wearing the uniforms of my Water Transport Yamen?"
"This is the reason why I visited the transfer envoy."
At that moment, Governor Zhang informed the transfer envoy of the incident in detail, and the latter turned pale after hearing this, and fell back to his seat, muttering: "What should I do, what should I do"
Tsk tsk, the skill of nourishing qi is too poor. Compared with the officials I have dealt with in the capital, this transfer envoy is like a bronze Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, while observing the expression of the transfer envoy and making subtle moves.
Governor Zhang said in a deep voice: "Lord Transit Envoy, I ask you, do you know about this case?"
The transfer envoy hastily shook his head, trying to explain: "I don't know about it, Governor"
Governor Zhang ignored them, and turned to look at the white-clothed warlocks in the crowd. The white-clothed warlocks nodded slightly, indicating that they were not lying.
After pondering for a while, Governor Zhang said: "Is the Gangyun envoy in the yamen?"
Only then did the transshipment envoy turn his attention to the culprit, annoyed that a second-five boy had appeared under his command, and said in a deep voice:
"Gangyun Envoy Yan Kai is resting today and is not in the yamen. I will immediately take the governor to arrest this beast."
Outside Gangyun envoy Yan Kai's mansion, Governor Zhang waved his hand to let the Huben Guards disperse and surround Yan's mansion.
? Yang Muhua, the transfer envoy of the Water Transport Yamen who came with him, also brought twenty arresters.
After the tiger guards dispersed, Jiang Lvzhong directly led people to break into the door and knocked down all the servants and guards in the mansion.
?Three forces of Tiger Benwei, the catcher of the Water Transport Yamen, and the watchmen swept across the entire Yan Mansion, as fast as thunder, without giving the other party a chance to react.
"My lord, I'm in the study."
&nbSitting on the roof of the water transportation yamen, bathed in the golden glow, replaying the case in my mind.
The death of a ganger will cut off the clues of the whole case. Heh, this is also a clue that the people behind the scenes did not manipulate the entire Water Transport Yamen.
It can be seen that this is not a simple corruption caseThe Minister of the Ministry of Industry has fallen, and the Yuzhou Water Transport Office is still continuing to repeat operations, smuggling iron ore to YunzhouThis means that there are still people behind the scenes manipulate. This person doesn't have much power, he can only control one person, no, it may not be because of his lack of power, it may be for concealment.
If I hadn't been hit by the luck of shit, maybe the smuggling of iron ore would have continued.
Since there is iron ore smuggling, will there be official salt and saltpeter smuggling? It is time for the imperial court to check the water transportation offices of each state.
"This trip to Yunzhou is probably more dangerous than imagined." Xu Qi'an was thinking worriedly, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from below.
"Ning Yan, let's go to Jiaofang Si Le Yi Le." Song Tingfeng stood in the courtyard and waved to him.
"No, I'm thinking about business." Xu Qi'an said unhappily.
"Go, I heard that the Jiaofangsi woman in Yuzhou is very good at serving people." Song Tingfeng followed the temptation.
"I know Jiaofang Shijiaofangsi all day long, be careful that I won't get promoted in my life." Xu Qi'an responded with hatred
Yuzhou, Jiaofang Division.
In the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, Xu Qi'an picked up his wine glass and said with a big laugh: "Come on, drink and drink, after floating on the water for six days, my birds have grown spider webs."
?The watchmen toasted together, and there was a handsome beauty per capita, changing cups, talking and laughing.
Sure enough, Xu Ningyan followed. Song Tingfeng was not surprised by this, it should be said that it was all expected.
When he was in the capital, Xu Qi'an never took the initiative to go to the Jiaofang Division, it was Song Tingfeng's suggestion, and then he and Zhu Guangxiao followed.
Sometimes when Xu Ningyan was practicing, he would yell at him: Song Tingfeng, as long as you have a conscience, don't disturb Lao Tzu's cultivation.
After cursing, pat your butt and follow.
The Jiaofangsi in Yuzhou is different from the capital city in that it covers a small area, but it is built along the river, with six courtyards and two high-rise buildings. It is better than elegant scenery.
The rippling water distorts the reflection of the red lanterns, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music floats in the yard and on the sparkling river.
With the status of Xu Qi'an and others, of course they would not go to the building to drink with those prostitutes. After being led by the officials of the Water Transport Yamen, they came to the courtyard of an oiran named Hongxiu to play tea.
The oiran named Hongxiu seemed a little reluctant. The group drank in the yard for half an hour, but she still hadn't come out. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
