It was night, although it was only eight o'clock in the evening (eight o'clock in the evening), the whole prosperous Yangzhou city was already quiet and the river was flying, even the major blockades and green buildings in the city were black-lit, and the wet streets sprinkled by the misty spring rain could be seen from time to time to patrol the officials and husbands.

In the inner hall of the back hall of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Division, Shi Haoran, the two Huai Salt Transport Envoys, sat on the Taishi chair, his fat butt and round belly made him look like a meat mountain, while Jiang Ping, the prefect of Yangzhou who sat on another Taishi chair, was another Roshan, just one size smaller.

Although the spring rain outside the house is fine, the night is very quiet, and the sound of the small rain falling on the roof can still be heard, accompanied by the fragrance of the Tiger Hill tea in the cup, which is a rare leisure and leisure, but the two people in the hall obviously have their own hearts.

"Our Lord Qincha is really conscientious, and he rushed out of the city at night, it seems that the case of smuggling firearms is eyebrow-raising." Shi Haoran picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly.

Jiang Zhifu was secretly bitter in his heart, the more conscientious Xu Jin was, the more frightened he became, afraid that he would eventually find out about him, after all, those local gentry who participated in smuggling usually gave him filial piety, of course, Shi Haoran's salt transportation made the benefits more he received.

"Lord Shi, now that the pirate leader Chen Sipan has fallen into the hands of Qin Cha, what should be done? We should deal with it as soon as possible. Governor Jiang finally couldn't help but ask bluntly.

In fact, after meeting Zheng Bancheng and other gentry from Dongtai County yesterday, Jiang Ping went to Shi Haoran to discuss countermeasures, but the old fox did not give a clear answer.

Shi Haoran took another sip of tea, and then said calmly: "Lord Jiang has not been directly involved in the smuggling trade, so why should he be panicked? ”

Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Shi, we don't take any less benefits on weekdays, and the official is worried that those gentry will give us up." ”

Shi Haoran smiled lightly: "They are all sensible people, what should be said and what should not be said, they will know." ”

Jiang Ping smiled bitterly again: "That being said, what if there are ignorant people? I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. ”

A trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in Shi Haoran's eyes, and he said lightly: "Then does the Jiang Governor have a countermeasure?" ”

Jiang Ping shook his head and said: "We all underestimated Xu Jin before, although this son is young, but he does things in an eclectic way, but he is not greedy for money, and his methods are fierce and ruthless, no wonder he turned Shandong upside down last year, if we are caught by him, we will have to shed our skin if we don't die." ”

Shi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, why don't we strike first?" ”

Jiang Ping's face turned white all of a sudden, and he exclaimed: "By all means, even if the smuggling is discovered, the most we can do is to sentence a crime of corruption and bending the law, as well as the crime of covering up. ”

Shi Haoran laughed and said: "What do you think, Lord Shi, this official is not an idiot, how can he follow in the footsteps of Luo Xiang, the eunuch who guarded Shandong Town." ”

Jiang Ping's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "What does Master Shi mean...... Kill Chen Sipan? ”

Shi Haoran leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't have to be killed, maybe we can find a way to help him escape, and the thief will return to the sea, so he can naturally sit back and relax." ”

Jiang Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Master Shi will be released?" ”

Shi Haoran smiled sinisterly and said, "Lord Jiang, if a group of Japanese robbers invade Dongtai County at this time, burn down the Dongtai County Ya, release the criminals in prison, and loot all the goods, doesn't this kind of thing sound very normal. ”

Jiang Ping couldn't help but breathe tightly, and said cautiously: "This is naturally normal, after all, Lord Qincha has just defeated a group of Japanese robbers in Dongtai County, and it is logical for this group of Japanese to retaliate later, it's just ...... Will these wokes come? ”

Shi Haoran smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Definitely coming!" After speaking, he clapped his hands three times.

As soon as Shi Haoran's applause fell, several people flashed out behind the screen, and it was Hosokawa Wushu and his gang, who dared to love this group of Japanese people who hid in the Yamen of the Yanyun Division, no wonder today Jinyiwei led people to turn Yangzhou City upside down and did not find anyone.

"You ......" Jiang Ping stood up in shock.

There was a woman in a kimono beside Hosokawa Takeshu, who was born to be soul-shattering, facing Jiang Ping Yingying Yifu, and said coquettishly: "Higashino Lily, meet Jiang-sama." ”

Shi Haoran smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, this Dongye Lily girl shouldn't need to be introduced by this official, right?" ”

Governor Jiang's face changed uncertainly, so naturally there was no need to introduce it, because a few days ago, Li Guangtou sent this woman to the mansion, and the taste of ecstasy still made him want to stop, and his mind was full of the carcass that made men crazy when this woman stripped naked.

Shi Haoran looked at Jiang Ping's expression, and naturally knew it, because Jiang Ping had tasted the taste of ecstasy, he had also tasted it, and pointed at Hosokawa Takeshu with a smile and said: "Lord Jiang, this is the right counselor of Japan, His Excellency Hosokawa Takeshu of the Hosokawa family." ”

Hosokawa Takeshu clasped his fists towards Jiang Ping and said, "Hosokawa Takeshu has seen Master Jiang. ”

Jiang Ping was an old bird of officialdom after all, and he quickly regained his composure, sat down again and glanced at Shi Haoran, and asked, "Dongying people?" ”

Shi Haoran nodded and said, "That's right, this Dongye Lily girl is also from Dongying, and her real name is Ono Lily." ”

A hint of complexity flashed in Jiang Ping's eyes, although he had slept with Higashino Lily, he didn't know that she was a Japanese national, and he only thought that Li Guangtou was trying to let himself release water at the Oiran Contest, so he sent Higashino Lily to warm his bed.

"The Japanese who committed the murder on the street today are in the same group as you?" Jiang Ping asked in a deep voice, but he secretly complained in his heart.

Hosokawa Takeshu said frankly: "His name is Yoshimura Tomiyo, he is indeed a person under him, he is in a bad mood, he is drunk and kills people out of control, but he has brought trouble to the two adults, I'm sorry!" ”

Jiang Ping looked at Shi Haoran with a little displeasure, he was worried that the smuggling matter would be exposed, and Shi Haoran had provoked a group of Japanese people at this time, and it was also a group of Japanese people who were being hunted down by the order of the Qin Mission.

Shi Haoran ignored Jiang Ping, and turned to Hosokawa Wushu and said: "Your Excellency Hosokawa, this official can send you out of Yangzhou City safely, but you need to go to Dongtai County to do something!" ”

A hint of cruelty flashed in Hosokawa Takeshu's eyes and said, "Naturally, there is no problem, but Lord Shi promised to make a promise before?" ”

Shi Haoran said proudly: "The goods you need are not a problem, but the premise is that Chen Sipan wants to rescue this person, and he has to kill the worst of them, and it is best to rescue them, because the goods you need in the future can be traded with this person." ”

"Okay, then it's a deal!" Hosokawa nodded.

Shi Haoran took a sip of the teacup, looked at Jiang Ping, and said with a smile: "Trouble Lord Jiang to send Your Excellency Hosokawa out of the city safely!" ”

"There's Lord Laojiang!" Hosokawa Takeshu stared sharply at Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping only felt chills all over his body, he understood very well that it was actually easy to send a few people out of the city with Shi Haoran's ability, and the reason why he was looking for his own hands was nothing more than pulling himself into the pit.

Jiang Ping wanted to refuse, but now he and Shi Haoran were grasshoppers on a rope, and if they refused, it was estimated that they would die tonight, so they could only nod and agree.

Shi Haoran saw Jiang Ping nodding, and then he smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, as long as Chen Sipan is rescued, you and I can sit back and relax, don't we?" ”

Jiang Ping nodded helplessly, stood up and said, "This official will go back and prepare first." ”

Shi Haoran said: "Well, it's time to prepare, be prepared, Your Excellency Hosokawa, let your people change into the clothes of the officials, and follow Lord Jiang back to the palace." ”

Jiang Ping frowned secretly, but he didn't say anything, and now it was not his turn to object.

Hosokawa Takeshu was about to leave the hall to change his clothes, but Shi Haoran pointed at Ono Yuri and said: "Miss Ono stays, in order not to arouse suspicion, she still has to continue to participate in the Oiran Competition." ”

A hint of imperceptible banter flashed in Hosokawa Takeshu's eyes, and he nodded: "Yuri Ono, then you can stay." ”

"Yes!" Yuri Ono nodded obediently, and stood beside Shi Haoran bewitchingly.

Shi Haoran's stomach was blazing, and he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the impatience in his lower body.

Soon, Hosokawa Takeshu led more than a dozen of his subordinates who had changed into the attire of the yamen and followed the prefect Jiang Ping out of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Division.
