After more than two months of recuperation, the head injury of Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou, is no longer serious, but he is still pretending to be stupid and pretending to be amnesia. Xu Jin ordered Jinyiwei to secretly send Song Chi to Liubu Town, and at this moment Song Chi was sitting in front of Xu Jin, looking stupid with dull eyes, and his saliva almost didn't come out.

Xu Jin sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea calmly, just quietly watching Song Chi pretend...... Silly, as time passed, the latter was obviously a little untenable, and his dull eyes became flickering.

The corners of Xu Jin's mouth showed a hint of a playful smile, clapped his hands, and Ma Rong'er was escorted in by the Jinyi guard, who saw Song Chi suddenly like seeing a ghost, and was stunned for a moment before kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly: "Master, it turns out that you are still alive!" ”

Song Chi stood up suddenly, and said earnestly: "Ma's, where is Man'er?" Where's Man'er? ”

Ma Rong'er replied cryingly: "Master, Man'er is dead!" ”

Song Chi was stunned, and then launched a frenzy, grabbed both shoulders of Ma Rong'er and roared: "Man'er is dead, how did he die?" Say, how did he die? ”

"Luo Xiang sent someone to kill him!" Ma Rong'er cried.

"Slut, why didn't you die?" Song Chi roared loudly, his eyes full of suspicion.

Ma Rong'er told her what had happened, and after listening to it, Song Chi was stupid, and suddenly raised her hand and shaved Ma Rong'er's big ears, and scolded: "Shameless prostitute, why don't you die, die immediately." ”

Ma Rong'er was slapped and sat on the ground, both sides of her face were swollen, Song Chi refused to give up, and kicked the former in the stomach a few times, Ma Rong'er screamed in pain, and even the corners of her mouth oozed blood.

Xu Jin hurriedly ordered Jinyiwei to take Ma Rong'er down, so as not to be beaten to death by Song Chi.

"The vicious old eunuch actually wiped out the last bloodline of my Song family, and Song will not let you go if he is a ghost!" Song Chi let out a beast-like roar, his eyes blood-red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

Xu Jin looked at him, and couldn't help but feel numb, at this moment Song Chi's gaze was crazy and vicious, like a snake, how hateful it must be to show this kind of look. Jin Baihu pulled out his waist knife and vigilantly protected Xu Jin, at this time, if Song Chi dared to take a step forward, he would not hesitate to swing the knife and slash

Song Chi said fiercely: "Xu Jin, don't you want a confession?" I confessed, that's right, I instructed someone to dig up the Yellow River embankment, but I was also instructed by someone, that person was Luo Xiang, the eunuch guarding the town of Shandong, and most of the proceeds from stealing and selling official grain were also given to Luo Xiang. ”

"Okay, write it all down!" Xu Jin immediately ordered someone to fetch the four treasures of the study, Song Chi picked up the pen and sat down in front of the desk, as if he had a demon and worked hard to write, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes laughing, sometimes beating his knees and crying, which made people look creepy.

"Let's die together, and go to hell...... Rattle! Song Chi was like an opened Pandora's box, the demon in his heart was released to his heart's content, and he wrote in one breath for nearly an hour without stopping, and the paper was already written in a thick pile.

Every time Song Chi finished writing a piece of paper, Jin Yiwei immediately dried it and presented it to Xu Jin, the more Xu Jin looked at it, the more shocked he became, in addition to Song Chi confessed to Luo Xiang, there were several senior officials at the Shandong provincial level, both civil officials and military generals of various guards, which was simply shocking.

Xu Jin didn't think that Song Chi was biting indiscriminately, because the things he confessed were all clearly organized, and there was even a specific amount, but it was difficult for him to remember it so firmly.

"Bring the paper!"

At this time, Song Chi finished writing a pile of paper again, and immediately roared at the brocade guard next to him with red eyes, the brocade guard was startled, and hurriedly went to hold a pile of paper and put it on the case, Song Chi took a piece of paper and immediately wrote like crazy.

"Alright, it's time for the full confession." Song Chi wrote for two hours, and he didn't stop writing until Xu Jin came back from lunch, looking "refreshed".

Xu Jin sorted out the thick stack of papers, and he was completely powerless to complain, because according to Song Chi's confession, dozens of high-ranking officials in Shandong Province, such as political envoys, envoys who were promoted to the inspection of the people, and commanders of the capital, all participated in the theft and sale of official grain and profits, and the entire officialdom of Shandong Province was simply rotten to the bone.

Song Chi looked at Xu Jin with a playful expression: "Lord Qincha, what are you going to do with these people?" ”

If Xu Jin really wants to do business, then it will be equivalent to uprooting the entire Shandong officialdom, and Song Chi naturally suspects that Xu Jin has the courage.

Xu Jin said indifferently: "You will see!" ”

Song Chi laughed, threw the brush on the inkstone, and said with both hands on his chest: "I'm hungry, I want to eat, and I have to drink, drink a lot of wine." ”

Xu Jin ordered Song Chi to prepare wine and food, which can be regarded as a reward for his cooperation, after all, this wine is a meal and one less meal, and Song Chi's time is running out, whether it is stealing and selling official food, or murdering Qin Cha is a capital crime.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Jin took a break for half an hour and got up to sort out Song Chi's confession, the stakes were very high, naturally he couldn't fully believe Song Chi, some things Xu Jin had to send Jinyiwei to verify, and then formulate a specific arrest plan, after all, the number and level of the characters involved are very tricky.

Xu Jin was sorting out his confession, and the cavalry commander Wang Lin'er walked in with a spring breeze on his face and reported loudly: "My lord, good news, the thief head Wang Tang has been ambushed." ”

Xu Jin said with a smile: "Congratulations to Wang Qianhu for making another great contribution." ”

Wang Lin'er grinned and said embarrassedly: "My lord, Wang Tang was not captured and killed by his subordinates. ”

Xu Jin put down the stack of confessions in his hand and said curiously: "Who killed that." ”

Wang Lin'er rubbed her nose and said a little depressedly: "It was killed by a family of ordinary people, and Wang Tang drowned in their thatched pit, covered in feces and urine, and it stinks." ”

Xu Jin was slightly stunned, the death method of "General Wang" was too cowardly, and hurriedly asked: "Where are the people who killed Wang Tang?" ”

Wang Lin'er pointed outside the house: "Wait outside to receive the reward!" ”

Xu Jin suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Take it in and take a look." ”

Soon, three men, one old and two strong, were brought in, and one of them was carrying a blood-dripping baggage, which was estimated to contain a human head.

"The grass people knock on Lord Qincha!" Sun Dasheng took the lead and knelt down and kowtowed.

Xu Jin said solemnly: "Who is the hall, the thief head Wang Tang was killed by you?" ”

"Lord Hui Qincha, the old man's name is Sun Dasheng, a native of Yanshen Town, Qingzhou, Wang Tang, this beast is me, the third son of my family, and my son-in-law worked together to kill him." Sun Dasheng said it again, and presented the head of Wang Tang again.

Xu Jin was naturally not interested in looking at a human head full of feces and urine, and after people confirmed that it was Wang Tang, he immediately fulfilled the promise of three hundred taels of silver.

Sun Dasheng and the three of them were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth, and three hundred taels of silver was an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and most people couldn't save it in their lifetime.

Xu Jin was about to order someone to take Sun Dasheng and the others out, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a transparent thing like a jade pendant hanging from Sun Xin's waist, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and asked, "The third child of the Sun family, what is hanging on your waist?" ”

Sun Xin looked down in amazement, scratched his head and smiled, "Lord Qincha is talking about this thing?" As he spoke, he untied the transparent thing that hung around his waist.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Exactly, can you show this official!" ”

A brocade hurriedly stepped forward to take Sun Xin's pendant and presented it to Xu Jin, Xu Jin took it and looked at it, and his heart beat rapidly. Glass! It's a piece of transparent glass, a little yellowish, but it's a transparent glass.

Xu Jinqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Sun Xin, where did you get this piece of transparent glass?" ”

"Hey, you know it's glass!" Sun Xinqi said.

Jin Baihu rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, adults are well-informed, they haven't seen anything, how can they never see a piece of glass!" ”

Sun Xin scratched his head with a smile: "What the general said is that I didn't mean that, it's just that the glass is colored, and transparent ones are relatively rare, and this piece of glass was also fired by me unintentionally, not elsewhere." ”

Xu Jin blurted out: "You are a glass craftsman." ”

Sun Xin nodded and said: "Yes, our family has been a glass craftsman for generations, and my father is a master of glass burning, and many tributes in the palace are from my father's hands." ”

Sun Dasheng knocked his son on the blow and scolded: "I want you to talk more!" ”

In fact, the social status of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty was very low, and if it was put aside in modern times, a technician of this level like Sun Dasheng could definitely be called a master, but there was really nothing to brag about in the Ming Dynasty, at most he would earn a little more than ordinary workers.

Xu Jin smiled and asked, "Sun Laosan, can you still fire this kind of transparent glass!" ”

Sun Xin nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course you can." ”

Xu Jin was overjoyed, before he and the little emperor were going to do mirror business, but they didn't know how to make transparent glass, although they had already found craftsmen to study, but so far there were no results.

"The transparency of this glass is not enough, can you fire some more pure ...... Is it more transparent, no variegated glass? ”

Sun Xin scratched his head and said, "This ...... I guess it works! ”

Sun Dasheng glared at Sun Xin and said, "Don't believe it, my lord, this kid is a toad yawning, it is not easy to burn completely transparent and colorless glass, and glassware naturally has to be colorful to look good, and transparent ones are not interesting." ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "This official wants completely transparent glass, if you can fire it, this official will be rewarded." ”

Sun Xin's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Three hundred taels? ”

Xu Jin said with a smile: "Three thousand taels is not a problem, but the official wants completely transparent glass." ”

Sun Xin swallowed his saliva and nodded violently: "Okay, I'll try it as soon as I get home, by the way, if I burn completely transparent glass, will I still bring it here to find an adult?" ”

"In the near future, the official will stay in Jinan, but I don't know after the year, the official can leave you an address, and then you can go to the capital to find the official."

Sun Xin couldn't help but secretly think, three thousand taels of silver, it is worth a trip to the capital at that time, such a big official should not deceive people, so he nodded and said: "Okay, grass people just try." ”

Xu Jin wrote down the address of the glass workshop in Beijing and handed it to Sun Xin.
