Chapter 572 Arrested and brought to justice
Huang Renlong arranged for someone to kill Zhou Zhiji and Han Dong, but was uneasy and left Fuzhou overnight.
If the person sent to solve the hidden danger, he will pretend that it is nothing and return to Fuzhou the next day.
If things fail, then he will run away.
Huang Renlong is the Censor of Jiangxi, who is in charge of the judicial system of a province. He is one of the three major leaders in the province and is equivalent to the provincial prosecutor general.
He has been deeply engaged in Jiangxi for many years, and almost all his people are in the Niesi yamen, and his accomplices are all in Jiangxi.
The Guoan Department began to arrest people here, and Huang Renlong learned the news soon.
He immediately made a decision to defect to the Minyue Kingdom, and when he left, he naturally would not forget to notify the boss behind Jiang Yueguang.
Fuzhou is close to Jianchang controlled by the Zheng family, Huang Renlong fled overnight and defected into the Minyue Kingdom.
Gao Huan's provincial censor defected. After learning about it, the State of Minyue attached great importance to it. Zheng Zhilong immediately summoned Huang Renlong and appointed him as the magistrate of the State of Minyue Cao Shen.
Huang Renlong immediately wrote a letter of publication, not mentioning his own corruption and bribery and hindering reform, but cursing Gao Huan, excluding dissidents, and carrying out the throne, intending to eliminate those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty in order to usurp the throne.
The post was exposed, causing extremely bad influence, which made Gao Huan furious and ordered the Guoan Department to arrest Huang Renlong at all costs.
Jiang Yueguang has been waiting for news from Fuzhou again, hoping to consolidate his position in the hearts of gentry and merchants in Jiangnan.
Originally, it was Donglin's traditional craftsmanship that fanned the people and caused trouble. Jiangxi land was newly recruited. Gao Huan did not have much control and had a great chance of winning.
But I still failed if I didn't want to.
After hearing the oral message from the housekeeper, Jiang Yueguang was shocked to death when he learned that his interference with the state-owned enterprise reform of Fuzhou was exposed.
Jiang Yueguang knew that he was finished. Huang Renlong defected from the Jiangxi side. It is estimated that the warrant for arresting him must have been on the way to Nanjing.
He originally wanted to escape directly, but in recent times, his poor spirits have caused Zhou Yanru and others to be suspicious.
In order to avoid suspicion from Zhou Yanru and others, he forced himself to calm down and drank with everyone for a while, then he hurriedly gave the excuse to go out and sneaked into the carriage prepared by the housekeeper.
At this time, in the carriage, Jiang Yueguang had already changed into a commoner's outfit. After arriving at the dock, he carried the bag from the housekeeper and boarded the cargo ship to Shanghai, and then tried to go to Chongming Island to join the Zheng family.
After Shanghai opened its port, there were many cargo ships containing Jiangxi porcelain, Hunan black tea and Hunan embroidery on the Yangtze River. They went to Shanghai, and then went to sea from here to North Korea, Japan, Nanyang and other places.
Gao Huan opened a port in Shanghai, and his original intention was to use the power of Shen Tingyang and the Shachuan Gang to break the Zheng family's monopoly on maritime trade, hoping to get a share of the pie from maritime trade.
However, Gao Huan underestimated the Zheng family's control over maritime trade.
After Shanghai opened its port, no sea ships came to trade at first, so the Sand Ship Gang could only risk organizing a fleet of ships to transport goods to North Korea, but after the fleet went to sea, it never came back.
Later, near Yancheng, Jiangbei, there were wreckages of ships and soaked bodies washed to the shore. Only then did Liang Guo learn that the fleet was captured by the Zheng family navy and more than 200 sailors were thrown into the sea to feed fish.
Gao Huan knew that this was a warning from the Zheng family. Since then, no one dared to bypass the Zheng family and come to Shanghai to purchase goods, and did not dare to trade with Liang State privately.
After this incident, Liang State knew that if they wanted maritime trade, they could not avoid the Zheng family. As the goods in Jiangbei accumulate more and more, Liang State could only reduce tariffs and allow the Zheng family to transport goods from Shanghai at extremely low prices.
Now that Jiangnan produces one, Liang Guo makes three coins of silver, while Zheng family makes more than one or two taels of money, and almost all the profits are taken away by the Zheng family.
Although Liang State earned less in the maritime trade and almost worked for the Zheng family, Liang State had to do it.
Because there are more than a dozen cities in Jiangnan with a population of over 100,000, and a large number of people who have lost land make a living by handicrafts, so although they make little money, they cannot stop at all.
At this time, Jiang Yueguang changed into clothes of ordinary people, then quietly got off the carriage, came to the dock, gave the ship's house a penny, and boarded a cargo ship to Shanghai.
Just as Jiang Yueguang got on the boat, a team of Guoanshizi hurried to the dock to conduct a check-up.
Fortunately, the inspection department had already inspected the cargo ship, Jiang Yueguang hid in the cabin and watched the ship leave the dock and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph! Gao Huan, although you are powerful in the court, you are just dominating the country. When I arrive in Minyue, what can you do to me?"
It was raining in the sky that night, and Jiang Yueguang listened to the sound of the rain and gradually fell asleep.
He has been nervous these days, and now he has relaxed. When he wakes up, the boat has already stopped in Zhenjiang.
At this time, Jiang Yueguang was awakened by the noise on the pier. When he got up, he saw that the ship was docked at the pier and couldn't help but feel shocked: "Don't you go directly to Shanghai?"
The ship owner said, "I'm going to Shanghai! I'll leave after dinner!"
Jiang Yueguang heard the words and said anxiously: "What food to eat! Let's leave now! I'll add money to you, and you can eat whatever you want!"
The ship owner shook his head, "This fellow villager, we are the state-owned trading company of the Merchants Shipbuilding. The trading company has regulations that meals will be opened regularly every day. This is not my personal boat. The sailors are all going to have dinner. If you have an urgent matter, you should take someone else's boat!"
Jiang Yueguang was shocked when he heard this, and then he found that the ship owner's brother had embroidered a line of words "State-owned Merchants and Shipping" on his clothes.
Now Gao Huan has no strength to involve shipping, so he reorganized the Sand Ship Gang and formed a state-owned shipping company to carry out inland river transportation.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueguang carried his bag and walked off the boat. At this moment, a group of Guoanshizi chased him to the dock.
The men took the pictures and expanded them while looking at the pictures and observing the crowd.
"Captain! Are there!" Suddenly, a rogue pointed at one person and shouted.
When the captain saw that he happened to see Jiang Yueguang disembarking the ship, he immediately shouted: "Catch him there!"
The voice alarmed Jiang Yueguang. He saw the Guoan Si Fanzi turn around and run away. Seeing the fans catch up, they spread out the gold and silver from the bag, causing chaos.
At this time, Jiang Yueguang was scattered in the crowd. Suddenly, a figure rushed over and directly pressed Jiang Yueguang under him. However, the owner of the ship found that the Guoan Department arrested people, and quickly got off the boat and helped to knock him down.
A group of Guoanshi's fans caught up and caught Jiang Yueguang.
The head captain smiled and said, "What do you call me brother? I've helped a lot!"
The ship owner smiled heartily and said, "It should be! My brother is the Daliang Navy Army, my name is Gu Si, and he is in the business of recruiting shipping efficiency."
The captain couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Your name is Gu Si, then your brother is Gu Sanmazi!"
(The update is late, the wife is pregnant, there are a lot of things to do.)
