Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Wave of Unsettled

Ge Jiu's confession is many.

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

When Ge Jiu was not yet an adult, he had to go to the army, because of the Qing army in the imperial court, his father fled. Therefore, as a son, he was to serve as a soldier in place of his father.

From Nanzhili to Jiubian as a soldier for a period of time.

The time when he was a soldier was a period of time before the Battle of Maoerzhuang.

He has a ruthlessness in his heart, he was bullied in the border army, and even used as a prostitute boy, he gritted his teeth and climbed up, and as a result, he was famous for daring to fight and kill, and was later favored by a father-in-law and became a pro-soldier.

Then he was implicated in the smuggling case.

He was just a minion at the time and was not killed. But for the people at the bottom, there are not many opportunities to climb up.

Anyone who can rise and fall a few times is a big shot, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get together, let alone fall and rise again, which is almost impossible.

A lot of people have filled in the holes they have spent their entire lives.

Ge Jiu is like that.

Because he was on the wrong team in the battle, it was impossible for him to make a comeback in the military.

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

If he hadn't gotten up, maybe he would have been able to live such a day, but he had seen a drunken gold fan, how could he endure such a day.

In addition, he also offended a lot at the beginning, and there are naturally many people around him. It is also outrageous that the dark side of the army really needs to be revealed.

The nearly one million deserters in the Ming Dynasty were all 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, and during these seven years, he had no identity and wandered everywhere. Walk on the dark side of the Great Ming.

It was only after about twenty years of orthodoxy that he first arrived in Jiangnan. Giving people dirty words for the first time. Established in Suzhou.

In the past 20 years, he has become the boss of the underground world of Suzhou.

This experience is actually a very bright route for the Ming underworld boss, of course, there is another route, falling into the grass. Hide in a certain mountain where officers and soldiers are too lazy to take care of it, and live a life.

However, Wang Shu attaches more importance to Ge Jiu's affairs in Suzhou.

Ge Jiu was in Suzhou, starting with doing dirty work for people, and killing people was not commonplace, but the warehouse was indeed not done by Ge Jiu.

Therefore, Zhang Li's judgment was wrong.

It's just that Zhang Li's judgment is not outrageous, although it was not Ge Jiu who did it, but it is not too much for people like Ge Jiu to be arrested.

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

After all, Ge Jiu has been in Suzhou for 20 years, and he doesn't know how many things he has handled.

A lot of it is old cases.

Wang Shu took a deep breath, though

Then I thought about it, and all these illegal things were revealed. But no.

The local gentry group in Jiangnan was an obstacle to the administration of the imperial court. But it was also a help for the imperial court to maintain its rule in the region.

Wang Shu didn't want to tear his face. You can't really tear your face.

But that doesn't mean you can't do anything.

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: "Arrest him." ”

Zhang Li looked at it, bowed his head slightly, didn't ask much, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Li has always been honest and obedient, never doing much, and this quality is also one of the reasons why he can rise step by step.

And just by relying on Ge Jiu's confession, there is no problem in pulling Xu Chunshen down.

And Xu Chunshen no matter how much money he has, he is just a prisoner, or a prisoner who donates money, and he has no political status at all.

There is nothing like the same year.

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

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

And Xu Chunshen's size is not an ordinary person after all, and it is best to use it to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.

And Wang Shu's judgment was not wrong, when Zhang Li took more than 100 people to break into the Xu Mansion, in broad daylight, he took Xu Chunshen into the governor's yamen.

The whole city of Suzhou shook.

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

You must know that Xu Chunshen plays a pivotal role in the entire cotton industry chain. Xu Chunshen was taken, and the commercial network of the entire Jiangsu region, especially the four prefectures in Jiangnan, was completely disrupted.

At this time, Jiangnan Weaving, which was under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, was even more aggressive.

In short, it's a lot of messy exercises, and I'll be on stage after you sing.

However, this chaos is chaotic. But Wang Shu didn't pay much attention.

According to Wang Shu's experience, there will be chaos in the local area unless there is a flood, drought, and locust plague that forces the people to the point where they can no longer live.

In addition, every time there is a disturbance in the local area, there are local gentry behind the scenes, after all, for the people, they will only make trouble with the government when they are full.

So on the one hand, the government will go down and try to stabilize the situation. On the other hand, it depends on the reaction of the Jiangnan gentry.

Kill a chicken, are they afraid or not?

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

He sat down in the Grand Master's chair with a stack of letters in front of him.

Every letter was for him to clean up the situation. And the signatures behind it are all his so-called uncles and elders. It was the one who swore to support him in the first place.

Before, if there was anything, they still came to see him and discuss with Lu Lin, although when they discussed, it may not be too pleasant.

However, some of Lu Lin's decisions are still supported.

Now, I don't even want to see each other, and I don't even want to ask my heir to send a letter.

This cold attitude.

How could Lu Lin not know what it represented?

On behalf of the Jiangnan gentry, they have already deliberately cut off with him.

If something really happens, let him resist it himself.

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

Even everyone is worried that Wang Shu will be implicated in the case of Xu Chunshen after the Ge Jiu case, endangering himself. I don't want to pay attention to some things in the world.

They also felt that the affairs of the imperial court were settled first, and the rest of the things were just the end.

This attitude has contributed to this confusion.

It's just that Lu Lin doesn't care about this, he only thinks about one thing, Xu Chunshen has been taken down, will he be the next person?

Wang Shu is famously soft and hard.

He hesitated for a moment. Suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go, or wait for someone to invite me over?" He got up sharply, strode out of the hall, and without stopping, said to the servants who had rushed over, "Prepare the sedan chair." ”

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

Lu Lin Zhenyi got out of the car and said, "Lu Lin, the head of the Lu family in Suzhou, came to visit 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, so naturally some people know each other, and they are introduced to it after a short time.

When Wang Shu saw Lu Lin coming, he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, I have been looking up to my name for a long time, waiting for you, but I have been waiting so hard." ”

Wang Shu is a pun.

Wang Shu had been asking people to deliver messages before, which was in itself to leave a room for relaxation, but now that the two sides had not yet negotiated, Lu Lin came to the door in person.

This shows that Lu Lin must have made big concessions.

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

After all, Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as there is a good start here, it will be much easier to implement the rest of the places.

Before such a big event. Lu Lin has some questions of his own, and he will have to wait for later.

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

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

Lu Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, saluted and said: "The adult has been in Suzhou for so long, and the student has not visited, it is indeed the student's sin, and now he is not here to make amends to the adult?" ”

Wang Shu said, "Oh, what crime do you want to atone for? ”

Lu Lin gritted his teeth slightly and said, "We have made friends with bandits by mistake, but we don't know that Xu is such a wolf-hearted person, and he really loses the teachings of the saints. ”
