Chapter 322 Zhang Zhun’s Extraordinary Fast

Zhang Youcai brought a bucket of cold water and poured it on Liao Dake's body with his head and face.

Liao Dake woke up immediately, his whole body was trembling with excitement, and his cheeks began to turn purple due to the cold. As the inspector of the inspection department, he was used to being pampered and usually served in fur coats. Because he was afraid of the cold, he even saved the cold water when he went out. How could he withstand such cold water?

Zhang Zhun took off his military cap on his head, sat next to Liao Dake, and said slowly: "I will introduce myself. My name is Zhang Zhun, Zhang Yulin, commander of the Shandong Si'aoshanwei. You have detained my goods. I am going to take them back now. Please cooperate."

Liao Dake's face was filled with pig liver, and he kept trembling. He wanted to speak, but found that his teeth were trembling and could not be said at all. However, his brain could barely operate. When he heard Zhang Zhun's words, Liao Dake knew that this was absolutely bad.

It was indeed for Chen Lingfei.

As expected, I shouldn't have interfered with Chen Lingfei's affairs.

Liao Dake desperately wanted to shake the water on his body to make himself feel better. However, when the cold water on his body had just been shaken off, Zhang Youcai poured a bucket of water on his body. At this time, in the cold winter, the cold wind was like a knife. When the wind blew, Liao Dake felt more uncomfortable than death. Zhang Zhun was wearing a fur coat, let alone him?

In desperation, Liao Dake could only gather the last bit of strength in his body and stammered: "Sir, you are the commander of the guards, and I am the inspector of the inspection department. We are all appointed officials of the court, one family, one family, and one is easy to talk to, and easy to talk to."

Zhang Zhun said very kindly: "Of course I am easy to talk to, it depends on whether you are easy to talk to. I ask you, why do you want to intercept my ship?"

Liao Dake subconsciously said: "It's Chen Lingfei's ship..."

Zhang Zhun stared at him coldly.

Liao Dake hurriedly changed his words and said incoherently: "It's... the ship of the adult, the ship of the adult... it's not Shen Lingfei's ship, it's not Shen Lingfei's ship..."

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You have so much nonsense, it seems that it feels so good! Come on, please raise Lord Liao a little bit!"

Zhang Youcai ordered to tie Liao Dake's huge body with a rope and then hang it up directly. Sure enough, Liao Dake was pulled into the air. When the cold wind blew, he was wet all over and almost instantly frozen into ice. The purple fat on his face was constantly trembling. He struggled desperately, but how could he struggle to get rid of it?

Liao Dake shivered all over and shouted intermittently: "It's the Gu family of Zhenjiang! It's the Gu family of Zhenjiang who came to me and asked me to attack Chen Lingfei! It's their Gu family, they are all their Gu family masterminds, I just took action, started..."

He stammered that it was the eldest son of the Gu family in Zhenjiang who came to the door and asked him to attack Chen Lingfei. He collected the other party's two thousand taels of silver and did as usual. The Gu family in Zhenjiang is one of the famous big families in Jiangnan. It runs a medicinal material business, and at the same time, it has some connections in the transportation of canals.

There are more than 3,000 kilograms of Panax notoginseng in Yunnan, so naturally it is impossible to hide the Gu family, who has been doing medicinal materials business all year round. Panax notoginseng is a relatively precious medicinal material, and the Gu family also often buys the goods. This time, Yunnan issued more than 3,000 kilograms of Panax notoginseng in one go, which is equivalent to clearing all the supply. Of course, the Gu family felt it was a bit strange.

When the Gu family inquired, it turned out that the one who took the goods was Chen Lingfei. Because Chen Lingfei had been announced to be expelled from the Shen family and had no background, the Gu family members wanted to use the inspection department to trick Chen Lingfei into snatching all the 370km and start a business without capital. Three thousand pounds of more than 3,000 kilograms of 3,000 kilograms of silver. In addition to the business interests, the Gu family's eldest son also had personal grudges with Shen Lingfei.

Liao Dake said: "This eldest son is Gu Linghai. He used to try to propose to Miss Chen, but was rejected by Miss Chen. He always held a grudge and wanted to take revenge! This time, Chen Lingfei returned to Jiangnan. He had something to harasse Chen Lingfei, but was rejected by Chen Lingfei. It is said that he even shot. Sir, what I said is true, just spare me!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You are the inspector of the Jiangyin Inspection Department. Are you still listening to Master Gu?"

Liao Dake said helplessly: "Sir, you don't know anything. The Gu family has a young daughter who married Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng, as his concubine. I have to listen!"

He begged bitterly that the ground in Nanjing is complicated and everyone has their own background. If they accidentally offend people who don’t know the details, they don’t even know how to die. In the eyes of outsiders, his inspection department is indeed a glorious place, but within the system, it is just a small fish and shrimp. Others are about to punish him with a determined will, but there are some ways.

Because Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time, the upper powers are intertwined, and the lower ones are also mixed. Although Liao Dake is holding Zhang Yixian's thigh, others dare not offend him too much. This Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong is the best among the Nanjing garrison officials. If it were not very necessary, Zhang Yixian would not anger them. Because angering a Xincheng Bo would be equivalent to angering a group of descendants of the nobles. The power of this group of people should not be underestimated.

In Liao Dake's opinion, there is no big deal about detaining Chen Lingfei. If it is detained, it will be deducted. Anyway, the Shen family in Suzhou will not come forward for Chen Lingfei. Therefore, he accepted Gu Linghai's silver and filial piety and agreed. However, he did not expect that a star like Zhang Zhun would come to the door. If he had known this, Liao Da would never agree to this matter.

Zhang Zhun interrogated and found that the Gu family was really doing the trick. After the group of Sanqi was detained, they were also transported away by the Gu family and were not in the warehouse of the inspection department. Peng Bo had already led people to search the warehouse of the inspection department, but there was no trace of Sanqi. Of course, Liao Da was an accomplice, so he must not be let go, so he was slowly dried up by the wind.

“How many people have been caught?”

Zhang Zhun ignored Liao Dake who was hung up and dried, and turned around to ask Zhou Yanyu.

"Reporting to the Lord, there are sixty-nine prisoners in total."

Zhou Yanyu answered solemnly.

"I've all been optimistic and I'll take them away in a while!"

Zhang Zhun ordered.

Zhou Yanyu agreed to go.

Soon, the relevant seizures were counted.

The three accounts did not lie. In the dog house, there were indeed more than 110,000 taels of silver. After counting, it was a little more than 140,000 taels. Among them, there were more than 600 taels of gold. In addition, some pearls, agate, jade, jade, sapphire, rubies, emeralds, etc., which were worth 20,000 taels of silver. Unfortunately, some ivory, paintings, and jade carvings were damaged in the violent explosion, otherwise, there would be thousands of taels of silver.

Zhang Zhun immediately ordered the silver and all the treasures to be moved away. In addition, in the inspection department's warehouse, there were some valuable goods, such as raw silk, silk, tea, tortoiseshell armor, medicinal materials, and so on. Unfortunately, the load capacity of the two lucky ships was only about 300 tons, and they could not take away so much goods. Some of the goods with low value could only be given up temporarily.

"If you have time in the future, you will still come to Jiangnan often."

Such thoughts flashed through Zhang Zhun's mind.

Jiangnan is so rich. If you just go around, you will get such a harvest. If you come a few more times, wouldn’t it be a great harvest? A small Jiangyin Inspection Office has accumulated more than 100,000 taels of silver. Then, other oil-friendly and Huaiyan Yamen have more silver?

Soon, all the personnel, gold, silver, and valuable goods were all brought onto the ship. The two lucky ships were basically filled with full loads, leaving only some empty spaces, ready to load the scattered scattered. At this time, Liao Dake had been frozen into an ice man, and Zhang Zhun ordered him to be removed and loaded the ship. He was still useful.

"Go to Zhenjiang!"

Zhang Zhun said vigorously.

Soon, Fuhai and Ninghai slowly drove away from the Jiangyin Patrol Wharf. Because they were loaded with a large amount of cargo and the waterline was quite deep, the sailing speed of Fuhai and Ninghai was quite slow. The sail drivers opened all the sails and tried hard to adjust the angle. The heavy ships moved slowly. After a while, they left the dock.

When Zhang Zhun and his team left the dock, they happened to see three ships from the inspection department, still cruising back and forth on the river, actively intercepting merchant ships and extorting. The three ships obviously did not know that the inspection department's yamen had been trapped, and they even greeted the two lucky ships in flag language. Yang Guohua immediately ordered to say hello to them in flag language.

"When they go back tonight, it must be very exciting."

Yang Guohua said with a smile beside Zhang Zhun.

"There will be big news in Jiangnan tomorrow."

Zhang Zhun was in a happy mood and said with a smile.

When the inspectors returned, they found that their nests had been taken away by a nest. This explosive news would soon spread throughout Jiangnan. The inspectors in Jiangyin were a big piece of fat, and now they were taken away by a nest. I wonder how many merchants would applaud them secretly! There were also Qianhu of Chongming Sha Suo on Chongming Island, who were also shot in public. These two things were connected. People in Jiangnan could not remember Zhang Zhun's name.

From Jiangyin to Zhenjiang, it was still driving against the current and against the wind. There were many merchant ships coming and going, and there were a lot of cargo loading. The navigation speeds of Fuhai and Ninghai were quite slow. After nightfall, they drove to the river opposite Taixing. It was not until the next morning that Zhenjiang appeared in Zhang Zhun's Qianli Mile Mile Mile.

Zhenjiang was called Dantu in ancient times. Since ancient times, it has been an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. The Jiangnan Canal is here, so the transportation is very convenient. Zhenjiang is a major transportation route. Every time Shen Lingfei returns home, he has to enter here. The west side of Zhenjiang is Nanjing City. The north side of Zhenjiang is Yangzhou City. They are the richest places in the world.

Fuhai and Ninghai slowly drove into the port of Zhenjiang.

It was indeed a busy scene. There were more than a dozen large and small ships moored in the port, including sea boats, inland river boats, and special canal ships. Among them, the appearance of those canal ships is the most special. The white marks on the side of their ships are very eye-catching. These canal ships are loaded with a large amount of grain, which presses the boats very low, as if a big wave will sink. Most of the food needed by the capital is carried by these canal ships.

Standing on the bow of Fuhai, Zhang Zhun looked around with a thousand-mile mirror. Except for the southwest corner, there are water on three sides of Zhenjiang. To the north is the vast Yangtze River, and the ships passing by seem to be crucian carp across the river, countless. To the east of Zhenjiang is the Grand Canal of Jiangnan. The canals from the Jiangnan Canal are also endless. The canals are usually carried in formations, with at least five ships in each formation. This makes them look particularly spectacular.

The goods were like a ship. These merchant ships traveled from south to north and communicated with the east and west, and produced white silver. A large amount of goods were transported out, and all the money was brought back. I don’t know what Emperor Chongzhen thought, but he didn’t find a way to collect commercial taxes. Instead, he kept sending additional food and salary on the farmers. As a result, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel. It was a pity!

At the same time, the scene in front of Zhang Zhun also made Zhang Zhun sigh. No matter how fierce the war is, how fierce the battle is, how drought is, how the fields are, how unrecovered the grains are, how the people are, how the people are living in poverty. However, here, there is no trace of the war. It seems that here and the Central Plains and the north are two completely different worlds. Here, you can't see the situation of the people's living in poverty. Even beggars can't see it.

In fact, during the Chongzhen period, the north of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be a mess. Sometimes the Tartars rushed in and out, and sometimes Li Zicheng made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, galloping around, but the south was singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace. Even after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the vast areas south of the Yangtze River, especially the southeast half, were still creating wealth. Unfortunately, when the Qing army headed south, all of these wealth was stolen by the Qing army. Making wedding dresses for others was the most depressing thing.

"I would have liked to have these wealth in my hands."

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but look forward to it.

With the wealth of Jiangnan and the warriors from the north, why are you afraid of the Qing army entering the pass?

Zhang Zhun really needs money now. The armed forces need money, the development of naval forces requires money, the development of base areas requires money, the construction of towns requires money, and the construction of ports requires money. No matter how much money is invested in it, it is still not enough. Even if he can make money through glass and salt, he will never be able to meet his needs. Only Jiangnan, only Jiangnan, can meet his needs.

Jiangnan’s wealth is really jealous!
