Haibei Bingbei Road Yamen, Cell.

Several jailers were drinking wine around the table, and a look of annoyance flashed on the face of the cell leader, but after seeing the people who came in clearly, he immediately said as if he had changed his face: "Commander Luo, what wind blew you here?" ”

Luo Haojie didn't look at this cell head with a smile on his face, turned his head to Luo Bancheng, who followed up, and said, "I have already arranged the carriage, but you have to stay here for a while!" After that kid leaves, you will leave directly through the back door and go to Qinzhou to stay honest for me for a while! ”

"Brother-in-law, can I come back after the witness is cleaned up?" Luo Bancheng asked expectantly.

Luo Haojie nodded affirmatively: "If there are no accidents, when things are dealt with, you will naturally be able to come back!" But that kid is a variable, I'll have to go over and see what happens! ”

"Okay, you go get busy!" Luo Bancheng got the answer he wanted and nodded happily.

The kid in Luo Haojie's mouth refers to Lin Haoran, in his eyes, the other party is not Lin Leigong, just a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"Luo Yuanwai, please take a seat!" The cell boss watched Luo Haojie leave, and then respectfully invited Luo Bancheng Dao.

Luo Bancheng took out a piece of silver, threw it to the cell boss and ordered, "Get me some wine and meat!" ”

"Yes! Be! The head of the cell then nodded happily with the heavy silver.

Luo Bancheng sat down at the table, he knew that this was just a formality. As long as that kid is dealt with over there, he will be able to leave Lianzhou Mansion and continue to live in Qinzhou.

The Haibei Military Preparation Dao Yamen is a military institution that is responsible for local military affairs, mainly to guard against neighboring Annan. It's just that it also shoulders another sacred mission, patrolling several pearl farms along the coast to prevent pearl thieves from stealing pearls from the South China Sea.

The imperial court attaches so much importance to the South China Sea pearls, not all because of the rarity of the South China Sea pearls, but because of the use needs of the Ming royal family.

After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he not only implemented the "Yellow Book System", dividing the people into more than 80 occupations and hereditary from generation to generation, but also established a hierarchical public opinion service system.

Like the queen's phoenix crown, it is inlaid with more than 5,000 pearls large and small, which is undoubtedly a rather terrifying amount.

Then the concubines, the crown princess, the princess, the princess, the princess, the princess and other royal ladies and the wives of the imperial court, in turn, according to the status of the pearls, the demand is very amazing.

It is also the case, since the Hongwu Dynasty, the imperial court has ordered that the pearl pond from Leizhou to Lianzhou be listed as the treasure source of the country, and the pearl people are prohibited from entering the pearl pond to dive pearls.

The pearl production here is also amazing, the largest pearl harvest in the imperial court occurred in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, 600 large and small sea ships were used, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and the pearls weighed 28,400 taels.

According to the "Eaves Exposure Miscellaneous Records", a pearl as big as a dragon's eye, without flaws, and weighing three coins costs more than 20,000 taels, and if it has a yellow halo as big as a soybean, it is also worth 10,000 taels; and the pearl weighing seven or eight points and round in shape is worth two thousand taels; The prayer beads of many wealthy and noble families who believe in Buddhism often cost tens of thousands of taels.

is also the case, the military preparation of the Dao Yamen is not only to prevent the invasion of Annan, but also to protect this treasure source for the Ming royal family.

The official position of Bingbeidao seems to be a military general, but Han Shisheng is a real civil official, and he is also a four-grade inspector. It is also because of this official position that the status is above the prefects of the three prefectures in western Guangdong, and he has the power to supervise the magistrates.

Han Shisheng was having tea in the flower hall, and when he heard Lin Haoran and Lei Changjiang coming over, he decided to make a full set of plays, and said with a look of disdain on the corners of his mouth: "Governor Lin and Governor Lei are so curious, then bring them all over!" ”

"Yes!" The person who came in to report gave up his hand and left in a hurry.

Sitting on the side was Jiang Yuanwai, who looked elegant, his figure was still thin, but his complexion was good, and he arched his hands and smiled and said, "Brother Han, or I'll avoid it first!" ”

"If there's anything to avoid, just sit here in peace! also let that kid understand, what is the meaning of thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river! Han Shisheng said viciously.

Jiang Yuanwai's face smiled slightly, and he didn't plan to leave here.

Now, he is the Father and the Son. Although his son only fished one Hanlin Yuan Jishi, he became Xu Jie's grandson-in-law and climbed to the prominent Xu family in one fell swoop.

The Xu family does not have too conspicuous descendants, and none of the descendants of Xu Jie's can become a climate. As long as his son Jiang Yuebai behaves more brilliantly, he will inevitably be supported, and even be cultivated as the successor of the Xu Party.

Although Lin Haoran climbed the big tree of Wushan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, compared with the second assistant Xu Jie, it was simply the difference between a small hill and Mount Tai, and the two could not be the same at all.

Regarding Lin Haoran's burning of his Jiang family's ancestral house, although it had been decided by the Holy Coffin, he was undoubtedly relieved at this time, and he was also thinking about getting the field back.

Hum!

Han Shisheng saw Lin Haoran coming in from a distance, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

Since his last trip to Leizhou City, he and Lin Haoran have been completely at odds with each other, and even caused trouble. It's just that soon, he got acquainted with Xu Jie through Jiang Yuanwai, and he was about to become a member of the Xu Party.

In other places, the Xu Party may not be too glamorous, but this is Guangdong, and Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, is one of the core members of the Xu Party, and he will be distinguished by it.

"See Soldier-sama!" Lin Haoran and Lei Changjiang came to the hall and saluted in a proper manner.

Han Shisheng glanced at Lin Haoran, pointed to the position on the left and said, "Please take a seat!" ”

Hey?

Lei Changjiang's brows frowned slightly, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally knew the rules of the seat.

The first seat on the right is the first guest of honor, and the first seat on the right is the second guest of honor, and Han Shisheng actually arranged for Lin Haoran to sit with him on the left, but the seat on the right was Jiang Yuanwai sitting there.

However, he didn't plan to fall out with Han Shisheng because of such a trivial matter, after all, the other party had climbed the Xu ladder now, and it was probably a matter of time before he became friendly with Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang.

Lin Haoran did not sit down in the seat on the left, but looked majestically at Jiang Yuanwai on the seat on the right, which made the atmosphere of this flower hall immediately subtle.

When Han Shisheng saw this scene, he thought that people like Lei Changjiang would have a seizure, but he didn't expect Lin Haoran to be in trouble, so he said: "Lin Futai, but you are dissatisfied with the official's arrangement?" ”

In fact, there is a hidden trick here, he just wants to provoke Lin Haoran, so as to achieve the purpose of slapping the table and leaving the scene.

It's just that Lin Haoran didn't look at Han Shisheng, but said coldly to Jiang Yuanwai: "Jiang Yuanwai, don't be embarrassed, why do you dare to be above me and Lei Zhifu?" Is it fame or official position? ”

"Lin Futai, Brother Jiang is my honored guest!" Han Shisheng didn't expect Lin Haoran to ignore him, and he directly pointed the finger at Jiang Yuanwai.

Lin Haoran arched his hand without being humble or arrogant: "Lord Han is not strange! This mansion is just teaching a person who doesn't know it, but he is a businessman who was born as a student, and he dares to rank above the first-class and second-class jinshi! ”

Han Shisheng looked at Lin Haoran deeply, although his chest was extremely angry, but it was not easy to attack. After all, Lin Haoran moved out of the ranking of fame, which is what all Shilin people value the most.

Jiang Yuanwai was counted down by Lin Haoran in front of him, and his face couldn't hold back.

He originally thought that with his son Jiang Yuebai being admitted to the Jinshi and becoming Xu Jie's grandson-in-law, this kid would have to restrain himself, and even confess to him for burning his house in the past.

But I never thought that this kid had no intention of accomplishing the crime at all, and he became even worse, without taking him seriously at all, and it was no different from before.

"Don't you give up your seat?" Lin Haoran's gaze fell on Jiang Yuanwai, who was trembling with anger, and he squinted his eyes and asked.

Jiang Yuanwai's face couldn't hold back anymore, Huo Ran stood up, but he arched his hand towards Han Shisheng and said, "Brother Han, I have some things to deal with, so I will leave first!" ”

But it's not that his city government is not enough, but that Lin Haoran is too direct and doesn't give him any face. In the same way, even though he was curious about which one Lin Haoran wanted to drink, he still decided to leave here.

Seeing Jiang Yuanwai being angry, Lin Haoran looked very proud, and said to Lei Changjiang: "Lord Lei, please!" ”

Lei Changjiang waved his hand, I don't know if he didn't want to fight with Lin Haoran, or didn't want to directly fight with Han Shisheng, but he went straight to the first seat on the left and sat down.

Lin Haoran was in a good mood, so he walked to the right and sat down, took the tea cup from the beautiful maid, and looked at the shy maid twice.

It's just that this scene fell in Han Shisheng's eyes, but he hated this arrogant kid even more, and asked indifferently with the anger in his chest: "Lin Futai, why did you come here this time?" ”

Lin Haoran held the teacup, holding the tea lid and gently pulling out the hot tea, but replied unhurriedly: "Han Bingbei, what important clues does this Luo Bancheng know?" ”

"Lin Futai, are you too lenient? I said that I know about Annan's spies, do I have to tell you? Han Shisheng immediately snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

The two have their own division of labor, Lin Haoran is the prefect of Leizhou and the secretary of Guangdong City, and he can't control Han Shisheng, who is a judge and a military officer in Haibei.

"You don't have to tell me this, but Luo Bancheng you have to hand it back to me!" Lin Haoran said softly and firmly.

Han Shisheng snatched Luo Bancheng and didn't plan to return it, and said with a tough attitude: "Luo Bancheng has a clue that is very important, I'm afraid this person won't be able to hand it over to you for a while!" ”

Lei Changjiang's anger immediately surged up, knowing that this was Han Shisheng's excuse, and he was afraid that he wanted to protect that Luo Bancheng. It's just that he had an agreement with Lin Haoran, so he suppressed his anger and turned to look at Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran said calmly: "He is very important to you, but it is also the same for me, I must be a person!" ”

"Why?" Hearing his tough attitude, Han Shisheng immediately looked at him mockingly.

Lin Haoran said as usual: "I purchased ambergris for the emperor, Lord Han must know." I also posted a public announcement here in Lianzhou Mansion, but it turned out that a profiteer dared to fool the official with a fake, and this person was introduced by Luo Yuanwai, and the official needed to find the profiteer through Luo Bancheng, so I have to do this Luo Bancheng! ”

Hey?

Han Shisheng's eyes widened, and his head was buzzing, as if he had been commanded again.

Although he knew before that Lin Haoran had received an errand to purchase ambergris for the Holy Lord, his status must have been raised. It's just that in his opinion, it's just easier to get promoted.

But now, he found that this kid knew how to take advantage of the situation too well, and he could manage his territory at once. Although Lin Haoran's words were light, they invisibly put a huge pressure on him.

He wanted to snatch Luo Bancheng before, and then find a reason to let him go, Lei Changjiang was probably helpless. But now, Lin Haoran suddenly appeared and moved out of the "imperial errand".

If he still acted according to the original plan, Luo Bancheng would be saved, but the board would inevitably fall on him Han Shisheng.

Not only did he not cooperate with Lin Haoran to track down the profiteer, but he also let the key accomplice go, and the accomplice was obviously guilty of a crime. Once this matter reaches the imperial court, he really can't eat and walks away.

As soon as he thought of this, Han Shisheng's face immediately pulled down, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"After Han Bingbei interrogated Luo Bancheng, he handed him over to the official, who had to find out the profiteer and ask for the real ambergris!" Lin Haoran followed him and said with a smile.

"You're lying, I never listened to my sister...... Luo Yuanwai said that he sold ambergris to you! Luo Haojie came over after settling in Luo Bancheng, but he didn't choose to show his face, and at this time he couldn't help but come out and accuse.

Lin Haoran looked at Luo Haojie, who suddenly came out, and asked coldly: "Commander Luo, are you accusing this official of lying, or do you want to shield that profiteer?" ”

Luo Haojie met his gaze, and in the face of this accusation, he couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.

Lin Haoran looked at Han Shisheng and said, "I came from afar this time just to find that profiteer through Luo Bancheng and ask for the real ambergris, Lord Han won't let the official wait too long, right?" ”

In terms of the substance, everyone speculated that Lin Haoran was lying, but the clever thing was that they would not dare not hand over Luo Bancheng, after all, this matter involved ambergris.

Han Shisheng also saw this clearly, and finally knew that this kid was indeed difficult, and he had the imperial errand of "purchasing ambergris", which really made him feel like a tiger, and gritted his teeth and admitted: "No!" In three days at most, I'll hand you over! ”

Lin Haoran showed a satisfied smile, stood up and arched his hand: "Then the official has lost his resignation!" ”

Bang!

Seeing Lin Haoran and Lei Changjiang leave, Han Shisheng slapped on the table and said angrily: "How can this be true!" Outrageous! It is really arrogant to dare to ask for someone like this! ”

"Lord Han, you were perfunctory to that kid just now? Shall we go as we originally planned and send my brother-in-law away? Luo Haojie asked with a hint of hope.

Han Shisheng looked at him like an idiot and said, "Do you think your brother-in-law can still keep it?" ”

Although he was very unwilling, he had to recognize the fact that he was not capable of protecting Luo Bancheng. In this encounter, he was completely at the bottom of the game.

At least here in Lianzhou Mansion, he is no longer the Han soldier who says nothing, and his status has been resolutely challenged by Lin Haoran.

The matter was not over, Lin Haoran actually sent an invitation in Lianzhou City, and he would entertain the famous officials and gentry of Lianzhou Mansion in the United Restaurant to discuss the dredging of the Nanliu River.
