Cui Gongjian smiled. Feng Ziying didn't explain much, and smiled, "However, Gong Lin's suggestion also asks Duke Cui to consider it more, and the salt transfer makes the Yamen have a wide range of channels and deep connections, and I am afraid that it is thicker than the Yangzhou Mansion, so what Lin Gong said is probably not groundless." ”

Cui Jingrong was also a little hesitant, he really didn't think that his group would be involved in such a big interest, in his opinion, this is ultimately decided by the cabinet and the emperor, and his party is just here to find out the bottom and understand the situation realistically, how can it be so dangerous?

Even he felt that it was a bit redundant for Long Forbidden Lieutenant and his party to follow, but now he suddenly felt that Long Forbidden Lieutenant's strength was not enough, and he might even encounter ambushes and assassinations, which made him feel a little incredible.

However, Lin Ruhai obviously won't come to be alarmist when he is full and has nothing to do, as Feng Ziying said, the background of Si Yamen is not simple, and the news in some aspects is more well-informed, and Feng Ziying is more likely to have a relationship with him, so people will remind him, so he doesn't dare not believe it.

"Ziying, when you say this, it really makes everyone a little weak and short-breathed, it was originally an investigation of economic affairs to open the sea, why did it become that the risk of the investigation of the case by the Imperial Court is still high?"

If this kind of business trip is a little risky, it is only that the Metropolitan Procuratorate came down to investigate some local snakes, but before the Metropolitan Procuratorate came down to investigate, it was generally a secret investigation, which was one of them, if there was a risk, it would definitely be with the Long Banwei Beizhen Fusi, and even the Criminal Department would send some people, these people could mobilize the resources they could mobilize locally, so generally speaking, there were very few that could really compete with the government.

Of course, not never.

In the thirtieth year of Yuanxi, Yu Guang, the political envoy of Huguang Youbu, was investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and wanted to prevent the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from investigating two witnesses, one of whom was the same governor of the prefecture and the other was the county order, so he instructed the people in the rivers and lakes to ambush him, resulting in the death of three people of Long Banwei, a serious injury and disability, and a witness (county order) was seriously injured, and the case caused a national sensation at that time.

Emperor Yuanxi was furious and pursued the responsibilities of the Huguang Punishment and Prosecution Division, the Sub-Patrol Road, the Huangzhou Mansion, and the Long Banwei and the Criminal Department, among which the Huguang Punishment and the Inspector were deposed, and the case was divided into the Patrol Dao Affairs, the Huangzhou Prefecture Governor, and the whole body were exiled, and after the case was investigated, Yu Guang was sentenced to the three clans, and at the same time, many participants were sentenced to the three clans, and the two gangs that participated in the ambush and assassination were exterminated by the officials and soldiers, and all of them were hunted down and exiled.

It can be said that this case is also the most shocking case since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but although this case shook very loudly, but the rivers and lakes are so big, and there are as many people in the rivers and lakes as there are people who cross the river with their heads, you want to say that it is impossible to completely cut off this kind of thing.

It's just that compared to assassinating court officials, this price needs to be weighed.

Because this kind of case must be investigated, to put it mildly, even if it is for the dead ghost or wronged, there must be a result.

Whether it is the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, the Criminal Department, the local government, or even the garrison, they can be mobilized as long as necessary, so in this case, it is still quite rare to really target the assassination of court officials.

Now that a business trip that has come down to investigate has to have this kind of risk, it is naturally difficult for people to accept.

"Hehe, Master Cui, we also know that if Ningbo, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou are the first to pilot, it has touched the interests of many people, but will it cause others to take risks, I think this may not be enough, but what if those who are unwilling to see the court open the sea? Maybe they themselves are in collusion with the Japanese bandits, and this is directly smashing people's jobs, which is hard to say,......"

Feng Ziying smiled and spread her hands casually.

"As you said, it's not for us to make a decision, but people don't necessarily see it that way, or think that they can simply scare us, so that we don't dare to go south, or kill chickens and scare monkeys, so we will slip back, can this open sea be delayed until next year and the year after? How big is the income in a year, I think for some people, more than three and a half hundred thousand taels, right? Even if it's discounted, or if it's distributed to a certain family, there are always tens of thousands of taels, right? Tens of thousands of taels of silver are enough to make many people desperate. ”

Feng Ziying's words finally moved Cui Jingrong and Wu Liangsi.

The easiest way to do this is to measure the cost of the risk in terms of concrete benefits.

If it is for tens of thousands of taels of silver to find some Jianghu people to take a risk, there is no such possibility, even if some Jianghu people who have nothing to worry about are killed on the spot or found out afterwards, so what?

How much money are those lives worth of Jianghu people?

"What do you mean by Ziying...... Cui Jingrong asked with a deep groan.

"Since there is such a risk, Cui Gong and Lord Wei might as well talk to the Yangzhou Mansion and the Caoyun Branch, and ask them to send someone to escort them, and when they arrive at Jinling Mansion, the officials believe that it should be much safer, at least it is Nanjing, isn't it? If the dragon forbidden captain can say hello and remind him, it may be necessary. ”

Feng Ziying has already made up his mind, no matter whether Cui Jingrong accepts it or not, he will definitely accept the kindness of his future old father-in-law, and he is also sure that the old father-in-law will never be untargeted, and he must be aware of it, so he will remind and arrange it like this.

Cui Jingrong finally reluctantly accepted Feng Ziying's suggestion, reported it to Yangzhou Mansion, and also told the Caoyun Branch.

The Yangzhou government and the Cao Yun Branch of the Ministry of Industry attached great importance to it and quickly mobilized manpower, like the No. 1 reckless force on the canal - the Cao Gang was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

As the first big gang on the canal, although it is nominally a gang, everyone knows that this gang is still a little different from other gangs, and it is, in a sense, an extension of the power of the imperial court and government in the canal, which is related to the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because the establishment of the Cao Gang is actually a result of the civilization of the Cao Yun force, with the elimination of the Cao soldiers, a large number of Cao soldiers and their families who have been laid off have become a part of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is actually the Cao soldiers who have been eliminated to contract the Cao Yun business in the form of civilians, and the branches and helmsmen of the Cao Gang under the command of the Cao Gang Gang actually have the criminal department to infiltrate the informant and the Long Ban Lieutenant to ensure that it is controllable by the imperial court.

Of course, from the former Ming Dynasty to the present Great Zhou, it took more than two hundred years, and the Cao Gang began to form a prototype during the Yongle period, and was finalized during the Chenghua Hongzhi period of the former Ming Dynasty, and then after entering the Great Zhou Dynasty, it almost followed this model, but after all, after a hundred years, the Cao soldiers of the past dynasties have entered and exited the old and the new, and this gang has gradually become more reckless.

And the imperial court is more to economic interests to envelop this plus family relatives and friends up to tens of thousands of people, in addition to the Cao soldiers escort every year, its transport from the liberation of the grain to loading and unloading, escort to the warehouse, and then to other other uses of the Cao boat, are monopolized by the Cao Gang, and like the wharves of major cities along the canal, there are also Cao Gang rudder and their livelihood.

The reason why the Linqing Minjing made the White Lotus Sect successful was largely because the helmsman of the Cao Gang Linqing Branch was co-opted and infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect to become one of them, which Feng Ziying later vaguely learned from the Long Forbidden Captain, and I don't know how much the Cao Gang spent in the end to settle this matter.

"Wen Yan has seen Lord Feng."

Feng Ziying still got up politely and walked forward, and helped the other party weakly.

Theoretically, Wang Wenyan is just Lin Ruhai's personal staff, not an official, to put it mildly, he is a grass people, Feng Ziying is not like the other officials of the Yamen who are all transferred to the salt envoy, and he also needs to give Wang Wenyan a few thin noodles, he is a Beijing official, and he can just nod and say hello, but Feng Ziying still got up and walked two steps, and stood up weakly, giving Lin Ruhai and Wang Wenyan enough face.

"Mr. Wang is polite, I have heard about Mr. Wang's loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness in the capital city." Feng Ziying didn't say anything, "I thought that in the same year when the relationship was close, Fang Youdu, he was a native of She County, and his father-in-law was a famous gentry tea merchant in She County, so I mentioned Mr. Wang, but I didn't know that Mr. Wang was working in his uncle's yamen now,......"

Although after going through ups and downs over the years, Wang Wenyan has been able to do it without showing his face, but for this famous Beijing teacher, who is also a well-known newcomer to the Hanlin Academy in Jiangnan, it is still difficult for Wang Wenyan to be unwavering.

"Lord Feng is too polite, Wen Yan is just a chivalrous man when he was young, even if he has won some small fame, it is not enough to worry about it, how can Lord Feng lower his eyes?" Wang Wenyan hurriedly bowed and was modest.

"Well, the first view of the mind, if the heart is not good, it is Han Xin Zhang Liang's ability, after all, it is for the tiger, I have always believed, small wins rely on wisdom, big wins rely on virtue, loyalty but not pedantic, there is a strategic wrist but not lose the bottom line of life,......"

Feng Ziying's words made Wang Wenyan's eyes flash, and his heart was also very touched.

Although in Shexian, Huizhou, and Yangzhou, many people value the wisdom and strategy of the Yamen, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him valued the name of Ren Xia when he was young, which made him unexpected, but at the same time, he was very proud.

It's no wonder that this one can make a great reputation in Beijing, and even the emperor and the elders are blue-eyed, and this kind of vision is really different from ordinary people.

It's no wonder that Dong Weng is so optimistic about this son but worried, estimating that Dong Weng is afraid that the young lady will not be able to subdue this Lord Feng, but seeing that this Lord Feng is also a person with a heart for the world, that is, he really likes women, it is just a beautiful talk of heroes, how can it affect his big plan?

"Lord Feng is too prestigious, he doesn't dare to be a literary language, he doesn't dare to be a ,......"
