Chapter 29                                                             �

Ge Jiu had many confessions.

To be honest, just looking at Ge Jiu's life is quite dramatic.

Before Ge Jiu became an adult, he had to join the army, because his father fled because of the Qing army in the court. So as his son, he had to join the army in the army instead of his father.

From Nanzhili to Jiubian, he served in the army for a period of time.

The time he served in the army was a period before the Battle of Maoerzhuang.

He felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart. He was bullied by the border army or even used as a child. He gritted his teeth and climbed upwards. As a result, he became famous for his courage to fight and fight. Later, he was attracted by a father-in-law and became a personal soldier.

Then he was implicated in a smuggling case.

He was just a minion at that time and was not killed. However, for the lower-level people, there were actually not many opportunities to climb up.

Anyone who can have ups and downs is a big shot. It is difficult for ordinary people to get along, let alone if you fall behind, it is almost impossible to rise again after falling behind.

A pit that many people have filled in their lives.

That's how Ge Jiu is.

Because he fought in the wrong team, it was impossible for him to make a comeback in the army.

Although he dares to fight and kill, is there a lack of such people in the Ming army?

If he hadn't gotten up, maybe he could live such a life, but he had seen how could he endure such a life?

In addition, he offended a lot at the beginning, so there are naturally many people around him who take the blame. It is outrageous to take out the dark side of the army.

Did the nearly one million deserters in the Ming Dynasty be because the people of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to contribute to the country?

So Ge Jiu fled.

Ge Jiu did not flee directly to Suzhou. He walked the road from Datong to Suzhou for seven years. During these seven years, he had no identity and wandered everywhere. He walked on the dark side of the Ming Dynasty.

It was about 20 years since Zhengtong that he arrived in Jiangnan for the first time. He swears to others for the first time and gained a foothold in Suzhou.

In the past twenty years, he became a tycoon in the underground world of Suzhou.

This experience has actually been a very bright route for the gangsters of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there is another route, which is a bandit. Hiding in a mountain where officers and soldiers are too lazy to take care of, and living.

However, what Wang Shu valued more was Ge Jiu's affairs in Suzhou.

Ge Jiu started doing dirty work for people in Suzhou, and killing people was a common occurrence. However, the warehouse was indeed not done by Ge Jiu.

Therefore, Zhang Li's judgment was wrong.

But Zhang Li's judgment is not outrageous. Although it was not done by Ge Jiu, it is not too much to arrest someone like Ge Jiu.

Wang Shu even found too much black material from Suzhou gentry.

After all, Ge Jiu has been in Suzhou for twenty years and has not known much of what he has done.

Many of them are old cases.

Wang Shu took a deep breath. Although he wanted to breathe, he would find out all these illegal and irregular things. But he couldn't.

Although the local gentry group in Jiangnan was an obstacle to the imperial court's governance, it was also a helping court to maintain its rule in the local area.

Wang Shu doesn’t want to tear off his face. He can’t really tear off his face.

But it does not mean that nothing can be done.

Wang Shu stopped his finger on Xu Chunshen's name and said, "Zhang Li."

Zhang Li said, "The lower official is here."

Wang Shu said: "Catch him to justice."

Zhang Li looked at it, lowered his head slightly, and without asking much questions, he said, "Yes."

Zhang Li has always been honest and obedient and never has much trouble. This quality is also one of the reasons why he can improve step by step.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to pull Xu Chunshen off with Ge Jiu's confession alone.

Xu Chunshen, no matter how much his family's wealth, he was just a prison student or a prison student who donated money, and had no political status at all.

There are no such people as the same school and the same age.

In other words, no matter how rich Xu Chunshen is, he is still an outsider to the local Shilin.

Wang Shu won't have much resistance to taking Xu Chunshen.

Moreover, Xu Chunshen’s size is not an ordinary person after all, so it is best to use it to kill a chicken to warn monkeys.

Wang Shu's judgment was not wrong. When Zhang Li led more than a hundred people to break into the Xu Mansion, he took Xu Chunshensuo into the governor's yamen in broad daylight.

The entire Suzhou City was shocked.

It can even be said that I lost my breath for a while.

You should know that Xu Chunshen plays an important role in the entire cotton fabric industry chain. Xu Chunshen was taken down, and the commercial networks of the entire Jiangsu region, especially the four prefectures in Jiangnan were completely disrupted.

At this time, Jiangnan weaving under the Shaofu was even more invaded.

Anyway, it was a great fucking game, and I made a comeback. After you finished singing, I would go on stage.

However, although this chaos is chaotic, Wang Shu did not pay much attention to it.

According to Wang Shu's experience, local chaos will only cause chaos unless there is a flood, drought and locust plague that forces the people to the point where they cannot survive.

Besides, every time the local riots start, there are local gentry behind the scenes. After all, for the people, only when they are full and they will cause trouble with the government.

So on the one hand, the Shaofu ends and try to stabilize the situation. On the other hand, it depends on the reaction of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Kill a chicken, are they afraid?

At this moment, Lu Lin naturally knew he was afraid.

He fell on the chair of the Grand Master, and there was a stack of letters in front of him.

Every letter is asked to clean up the situation. The signatures behind it are all his so-called uncles and elders. They are the ones who swore to support him at the beginning.

Before, if there was anything, they came to see him and discussed with Lu Lin. Although it might not be too pleasant when discussing.

But he still supports Lu Lin's decisions.

Now, I don’t even want to see each other, and I don’t even want to let my descendants deliver letters.

This cold attitude.

How could Lu Lin not know what it means?

It represents that the gentry in Jiangnan has already intentionally cut off from him.

If something really happens, let him resist this matter by himself.

Of course, to calm down this matter and make a compromise with the court, that is, Wang Shu, is their unanimous opinion, but their unanimous opinion is limited to this.

Everyone was even worried that Wang Shu had a big involvement in the case of the Ge Jiu after the case of Xu Chunshen, which endangered himself. He had no intention of paying attention to some things in the world.

They also felt that if the matter of the court was solved first, the rest would be just a conclusion.

This attitude has further contributed to this confusion.

But Lu Lin didn't care about these things. He only thought about one thing. Xu Chunshen had been taken down. Will he be the next person?

Wang Shu is famous for not eating soft and hard things.

He hesitated for a while. Suddenly he smiled bitterly and said, "Go, or wait for someone to invite me?" He stood up suddenly, strode out of the hall, and kept saying to the servants who rushed over, "Prepare a sedan chair."

In this way, a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the governor's yamen.

Lu Lin got out of the car and said, "Lu Lin, the head of the Lu family in Suzhou, came to pay homage to the prince."

Lu Lin is also a well-known figure in Suzhou.

The Lu family is also a big family in Suzhou for thousands of years. Naturally, some people know each other and are introduced to it soon.

When Wang Shu saw Lu Lin coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I have long admired Daming and waited for you, but it has been so hard."

Wang Shu said a pun.

Before, Wang Shu had been asking someone to hand in his words, and he was going to leave room for relief. Now that the two sides had not reached an agreement, Lu Lin came to the door in person.

This shows that Lu Lin must have made great concessions.

If everything can be arranged, the business tax will be completed.

After all, Jiangnan was the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty. Everything was difficult to start with. As long as there was a good start, it would be much easier to implement the remaining places.

Before such a big event, Lu Lin had to wait for some of his own problems.

Of course, Wang Shu also deliberately avoided the confrontation between the prince and some forces. This is also one of the reasons.

If Lu Lin did not have a prince background hidden behind him, Wang Shu would not be so polite to the Lu family. Kou Shen dared to exile a head of the Lu family, wouldn't Wang Shu dare to?

Lu Lin smiled bitterly in his heart and bowed and said, "It is indeed the student's fault that the adults have been in Suzhou for so long and the students have not met. Now, aren't they here to apologize to the adults?"

Only Wang Shu said, "Oh, what crime should I pay for?"
