Chapter 375: Joining forces
Song Zhen was shocked by Su Jin's momentum, and was speechless for a while.
Su Jin quickly told all the encounters of going to Feng Laohu's private house this morning, and finally said: "Lord Fuzun, this Master Feng is not the common people you imagined, he has five or six hundred apprentices, and he spreads all industries in Yangzhou on weekdays, and his hands and feet are involved in various cities. This person is nicknamed Feng Laohu, and the folk legend is that 'Ning meets the Nanshan wolf, Mo provokes the Yangzhou tiger', this Yangzhou tiger refers to this Feng Laohu, wake up, you can't be confused anymore. ”
Song Zhen sat down on the chair and muttered, "How can this be? The news that the government has been getting is that Feng Jingyao is willing to give and pays taxes actively, and he is the first to pay the taxes of Yangzhou every year, and he never procrastinates, but he didn't expect to be such a person. ”
Su Jin sneered: "I'm afraid that all this news of yours was told to you by your subordinates, all of them are dolls, dare to say that he is bad?" ”
Song Zhen stood up abruptly and said: "If what you said is true, doesn't it mean that many officials in my Yangzhou Mansion have fallen into the trap of lust in that rich building and become Feng Laohu's accomplices?" ”
Su Jindao: "I don't want to believe this either, but I'm afraid that's the case, with my personal experience as evidence, doesn't the Song Governor still believe it?" Could it be that I would lie in front of such a big thing? ”
Song Zhen crossed his hands and waved wildly, walked back and forth, and said, "How is this good?" How good is that? This official has the emperor's grace, and there is such a thing under his rule, this ...... How is this called this house? ”
Su Jin looked at him with disdain, as soon as the matter came, this Lord Song Zhen was like a bloody rooster, he only knew how to shake his claws, and he didn't have any tricks, no matter how high his knowledge was, there was a bird?
"Lord Fuzun, first stabilize God, originally they were in the dark, I waited in the light, now they are in the light, I am in the dark, there must be a way to deal with it; As long as you and I work together, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight this snake? As for your subordinate officials falling into the trap of wealth, it is their fault, as long as they are all questioned, and the merits are made up, at most they will be reprimanded, and they will not be severely punished. ”
Song Zhen's face was pale, and he looked at Su Jin helplessly: "Does Su have a way?" What should we do? ”
Su Jin said: "If the prefect wants to break this dead end, he must listen to me, and I am confident that it will be eradicated together." ”
Song Zhen seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Envoy Su, this government will definitely listen to you, you can do whatever you say, as long as you can eradicate this group of people who lose their morals and degenerate, this government will never shirk." ”
Su Jin clapped his hands and said: "Okay, what I want is Song Fuzun's words, you and I work together, there should be no problem, but before that, you can't show it, these people are with you every day, once your attitude changes, you will definitely be perceived by them, after startling the snake, it will be difficult to catch them." ”
Song Zhen nodded and said: "It's not difficult to act, it's rare to be the next step." ”
Su Jindao: "The first step is to secretly find out how many officials in Yangzhou Mansion are involved, and find out the details of these people, so that we can proceed to the second step." ”
Song Zhen said: "Didn't you say that the white peony gave you a list of seven people?" ”
Su Jin said: "That's not all, there are seven officials arrested by Bai Peony alone, and there are several women who cultivate color art like Bai Peony to seduce on the Fugui Building, that is to say, these seven people are just the tip of the iceberg, and the actual number may exceed several times." ”
Song Zhen was speechless and heartbroken.
"The general sentence Guo Pinchao, Cangsi Fan Chengren, Hou Shangrong, and Shen Dezhang of the Criminal Division are all on the list of seven people, and the other three are Wang Dahui, Zhou Zhe, and Sun Youyi; I don't know what official positions these three people have? ”
Song Zhen was almost angry, and muttered: "Sun Youyi, this old bastard, is actually among them, he is my master, he has been with me for ten years, and he has been with me from the capital to this post, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”
Su Jin shook his head secretly, the people who had been with Song Zhen for ten years had become Feng Laohu's eyes, and it seemed that the matter of opening a position would definitely not be hidden from Feng Laohu.
"Wang Dahui is the chief of the detention department, in charge of the post of refuting the survey documents, and Zhou Zhe is in charge of refuting the Caoyun Division, how come these people are all on the thief ship." Song Zhen wanted to cry without tears.
Su Jin's heart is also cold, in the current list of seven people, almost all the heads of the key departments of Yangzhou Mansion are included, Feng Laohu's energy and appetite are really not small, this guy is simply the person at the helm on the ground in Yangzhou, fortunately, so far, there has not been a single person in the military department, if the two commanders of the box soldiers are among them, then the matter will be a big deal; Comparatively speaking, even if all the minds in other departments in Yangzhou are in it, Su Jin doesn't care, what he cares about most is the control of Yangzhou's military.
"My lord, I'm afraid it's not so easy to figure out the situation of all the personnel, but leave this matter to me, I just want to ask the adults to do one thing."
"What's the matter? Say it. ”
"How many soldiers are there in Yangzhou? Who is currently in command? ”
"If the total number is about 2,600 people, the responsibility of the commander is naturally the responsibility of the government, and there are two commanders, each commanding ten of 2,000 people, and the other 600 are the village warriors of the households of the soldiers, and the troops are not stationed, and they will be called up and used when needed."
Su Jindao: "Who else is the commander besides Pan Jiang?" ”
"The other name is also surnamed Pan, called Pan Shiyi."
Su Jin said: "The current situation is that we must grasp the power of commanding the van soldiers in our hands, with these two thousand six hundred soldiers, let them burn a huge fire, we can also extinguish it in one fell swoop, do you know what I mean?" ”
"Then I immediately ordered Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi to come to see me, and instructed the two of them to be on guard at all times."
Su Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, how do you know that these two people can rely on?" ”
Song Zhen was startled and said, "Do you suspect that they also fell into the trap of that old thief?" ”
Su Jin said: "Now except for you, I suspect that no one can take this risk, once you let Feng Laohu know that we have noticed it, you know the consequences." ”
"How?"
Su Jin said: "Find a reason, stop these two people, and promote the people you think are credible to lead the troops, and the soldiers must only listen to your orders." ”
Song Zhen sighed and said: "How can a good person be dismissed?" I can't explain it anymore. ”
Su Jin said: "There are many ways, these two people will be wronged for the time being, you can find a reason to temporarily suspend them, and order someone to act as the commander, and not to remove them, so that you don't have to report it, and when the matter settles down, you will explain it to them if you have no forgiveness with the two; Presumably, these two can understand. ”
Song Zhen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, that's the only way to do it at present." ”
Su Jin smiled and said: "If you do this well, the matter will be half the success, you don't want us to take people at one end and someone at the other end to report the news." ”
Song Zhen nodded and said, "It's indeed a top priority, but how can you find out who is hiding around us?" ”
Su Jin said: "This thing is difficult, but it is not difficult for me, without further ado, let's go our separate ways, your business will be over this afternoon, I will give you a way, check the distribution of salary, there are unwritten rules in the army, the payment of salary, is to be detained by the official to corrupt part of the ink, this matter is everywhere, everyone turns a blind eye, but if you are more serious, they have nothing to say." ”
Where did Song Zhen know this, the boss with an open mouth, if this thing is true, it is a good excuse.
"Okay, this government will do it, and there is another thing that this government is a little worried about."
Su Jin smiled: "Are you afraid that we will be shaken out if we open a warehouse and release grain in a hurry?" ”
Song Zhen sighed: "Exactly, this is the biggest trick for you and me, even if the military rations have been replenished now, it will be useless." ”
Su Jin said: "So I have to act in a low-key manner, and when the last blow is not launched, I can't force them too quickly, and after I take them in one fell swoop, I have my own way to deal with these people." ”
Song Zhen didn't know what way Su Jin could ensure that the secret would not be leaked, once these people were taken and sent to the capital for trial, it would be absolute that these people would not confess at that time?
But Su Jin was confident, and he refused to say, Song Zhen had no choice, now he had to rely on this kid to turn the situation around, and he could only follow step by step, as for the next things, take one step at a time.
