Chapter 309: Chicken Song Mountain (Part II)

"Is he Zhang Daliang?" Lu Gongbi said in surprise.

Zheng Lang's words are a bit one-sided, occasionally under special circumstances, there are also good sons who recognize their fathers, the relationship is very pure, but few, there are sons who recognize their fathers, and they win over the relationship between the two families.

"Yes."

"How could it be him?" Lu Gongbi Wu didn't believe that Zhang Daliang was a big family under his jurisdiction, and he was the number one good citizen under Zhang Dashan's rule.

"I'll explain it again, and you'll understand. Speaking of last year, why he hired a boat, it is easier to understand, the ship is not a small thing, although the ship is not big, it is worth hundreds of yuan, in addition to the really big family, it will also be extremely important in that family. It's easier to check a ship than a person. At that time, after kidnapping my daughter, the matter was urgent, he was afraid of being exposed, he had his own boat, but he did not dare to move, so he hired a boat. It's understandable, but as long as we send a fresh face to hire a boat, it's not worth us. ”

Several people nodded.

In the case of the victims of the Taiping Prefecture disaster, because of the boat, it helped Zheng Lang a lot to solve the case, and it was not a secret matter, and Hangzhou had already rumored it. Relatively speaking, it is safest to hire a boat, anyway, there are many ships on the islands of the East China Sea, and some ships are designed to be very fast, which is the most suitable for them.

"It is also easy to understand why there is a local boatman on the ship, it is a hired boat, and the owner of the ship is not at ease. He was also afraid that we had secretly arranged a clipper to chase after him, and he was ready to flee, because there were thousands of islands in that area, and there were countless reefs, so if you wanted to escape, you had to be quick and familiar, and you had to be familiar with the local waterways and gorges. After the rain of arrows, the boatmen, even though they were afraid, were cornered, so they had to help them escape. It can be understood, and it is not helpful value. ”

Several nodded again.

"Guan Jian is the third, when we were chasing, we saw that we couldn't escape, and the people on the boat killed each other, set fire to the boat, and destroyed the corpses. Cannibalism occurs when someone doesn't want to die. But this officer asked some experienced captains, and they were really killing each other, not pretending. ”

Cannibalism must be real, what's wrong? Everyone is confused.

Zheng Lang then solved the mystery for them: "Since you are so careful, it is the dead soldiers who are arranged, and I am afraid it has been arranged long ago." The people on the ship were divided into two groups, one group was the boatman and sailor who had accidentally boarded the ship, and the other group was the dead man. Although the people who got on the ship by mistake have been fishing and transporting goods at sea for a long time, and their surnames are fierce, they can't imagine that they don't even have a weapon, and they want to kill them, with the ability of these dead soldiers, is it very fast? Why do you want to kill each other when you set fire to the ship? It shows that some dead people regret it when they die, and only then do they have fierce cannibalism. But in turn, it turns out that there are many dead people who are determined to die when they are dying. The only dead ear of the eternal hardship, what kind of person can make so many people willing to die for him? ”

Everyone already knows what Zheng Lang is going to say, if you can raise so many dead soldiers, there must be power, and you have to fly ships and arrows at sea, which shows one thing, it is what Zheng Lang just said, there is a strong force on the sea.

Si'er asked, "Did the person who shouted and jumped into the sea die?" ”

"I don't know, at that time, the boat was in the middle of two reef islands, and the current was turbulent, which was a fake, and the water surname was good, and jumping into the sea was also very auspicious. But helping to solve the case only provides one clue, the murderer has power, especially at sea, and other clues can only be found slowly. Then I arrested Li Yongde and met Yi Niang, this person is a very smart person, and strives for perfection in doing things, but people who strive for perfection are just like me, they will have a fatal weakness, suspicious. ”

"Are you suspicious?" Han Jiang said in surprise again.

"Yes, suspicious, including to Wang Sanlang Sima Sanlang, I have always been worried that their surnames are fierce, talented and learned, but this fierce surname will make them go to extremes, so when discussing their studies with them, I don't know how many times, gentle and humble. There is also the Futong Judgment, I handed over the affairs to him because I believed in his ability to handle the affairs, but when he came, I was not at ease with his surname, and I was afraid that the Futong Judgment would hold me back. ”

Fu Bi is ridiculous.

can also see that when Zheng Lang talks about his weaknesses, he is showing his strengths, frank, and self-aware.

"I have checked the details of Zhang Daliang, he was poor when he was a child, first worked on the ship, and finally saved some money, and took some goods to sea, his person is smart, and very fierce, and soon saved up into a family business, but on the sea, not like on land, lawless, anything can happen for the sake of property, because of his wisdom and fierceness, he soon became one of the leaders of Hangzhou seafarers. But in addition to people, there is also weather at sea, which is beyond the control of manpower. At this time, with prestige and connections, Zhang Daliang saw another way to make money, private salt. Smuggling smuggled salt only operates in the near sea, which is risky, but it is not as risky as the far sea, and he does not even need to come forward himself, so he did not go to sea again, stayed in Hangzhou, and commanded by remote control. But he is very smart, he will eventually lose his head in private salt, and he has done some good deeds to cover for himself, and he also asked his cronies to command, and he assumed the name of Fu Langjun, but he didn't show his head directly. But I was lenient in usage, although the method of making private salt was harsh, but the inventory was very loose, it was risky to go by sea, and I went around in a big circle, and he thought of the canal again. Of course, although he seems safe in this way, he is presiding over affairs, and once he dies, the dynasty will collapse. However, this dynasty makes me very worried, first, so many people have died, I want to close the case, and second, he is bold, self-righteous, and his ambition will swell, will he want to use his relationship in the Japanese slave country to eat those two mines? ”

"How so?" Lu Gongbi muttered.

"How can it not be so, even His Majesty's queen died inexplicably, and the two favorite concubines said that they would pull out of the harem, just two mines overseas, what dare you not do?"

Fu Bi and Lu Gongbi lowered their heads at the same time. The front is related to Lu Yijian, and the back is related to the Junzi Party, both of which are dishonorable things.

"That's my concern, let's talk about the case. If such a person is a minister, he will inevitably be Zhuge Wuhou, if he is a human monarch, he will become Emperor Wen of Sui, and he will die of exhaustion, and he will have a huge career when he is alive, and he will suffer endless harm after death. ”

"Official," Xing'er shook Zheng Lang's elbow.

"Me too, so every time I go to a state, I must go down and check again, and I will never feel at ease if I don't look at it."

The crowd couldn't laugh or cry again.

"It seems that I also have to learn to try to let go, this is a state, if it comes to the court, the country is so big, how can I see it all? Let go, how to put it? Zheng Lang sighed, even if he has historical knowledge and a golden finger, this is his shortcoming, and it has always been his confusion.

Everyone together did not speak.

Wang Anshi's eyes lit up, the teacher did a good job, and with such reflection, he was marching to a higher height, just like writing, breaking through the past, and the teacher would be closer to the perfection in his heart.

"There are many shortcomings in doing everything, one is that there is no one to take over after death, the second is to erase the creativity of subordinates, and the third is to be very narcissistic to yourself. Apricot don't pinch me, I'm narcissistic too. For example, if two magistrates send criminals to the state government, I should immediately sentence them to death and close the case. Because of this narcissism, a judgment was made, and I didn't want to use private salt, so as not to harm the safety prison, so it dragged on and caused so many things to come out. ”

Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi all lowered their heads, ashamed.

"Suspicious, narcissistic, and everything must be kissed, so Yi Niang appeared. Suspiciousness caused Zhang Daliang to feel uneasy, after all, I have many excessive rumors among the people. At the height of Zhang Daliang, although he is not literate, he also knows that most of these rumors are false, but he will eventually have some uneasy thoughts. After my daughter was kidnapped, Yi Niang let out the words, that is, to spend the night with a dog and a pig, and she would not accompany Li Yongde to spend the night. ”

"Why do you say that?" Apricot asked, puzzled.

"Yi Niang, you have also been with her for a long time, she is beautiful, knowledgeable, and very proficient in music and rhythm, she is attractive to scholars, but she is even more fatal to rough people like Li Yongde and Zhang Daliang. With their wealth, all of them are the head of the line, it is impossible not to come to Yi Niang, Li Yongde saw Yi Niang, Zhang Daliang saw Yi Niang. However, Li Yongde and Yi Niang are enemies, and Yi Niang can't let go of the burden in her heart and accompany her, so she repeatedly rejected Li Yongde. But Li Yongde is the 'uncle of the country', and it will be very bad for Yi Niang for a long time. happened to Zhang Daliang to appear, Zhang Daliang has a low-key appearance, but he is actually a murderer, will he really take this fake uncle in his heart? Seeing Li Yongde's persecution, he secretly helped each other a few times and won Yi Niang's heart. ”

"Why didn't he take Yiniang as a concubine?"

"Get her body, her heart, why take it? Do you really think that Zhang Daliang will have a long-term relationship for a line leader? If it weren't for the arrival of the official, Zhang Daliang would even let go in the end and let Yi Niang humiliate Li Yongde. However, this incident occurred, and Yi Niang's status made him pay attention to it. Because of singing the White Snake, I met her. She reads a lot and understands music, which seems to suit my appetite. Zheng Lang said to look at Si'er and Huan'er, several wives and concubines understand, Zheng Lang attaches importance to feelings, not talent, and treats Si'er and Huan'er equally, but it is difficult for outsiders to guess it, and continued: "Release this sentence, Li Yongde will do something to fight back." Zhang Daliang deliberately clashed with him again, let Yi Niang sue, and then beg for something, and the relationship with me will be close. ”

"Yi Niang is his person?"

"It wasn't before, it wasn't until the matter came out that Zhang Daliang revealed some words, for example, I also smuggled some illicit salt, or my son and nephew participated, you approach Governor Zheng to see if you can inquire about some news. can't say a lot, including Wu Zhubo, and it is impossible to know all the stories of Zhang Daliang, which is the inevitable product of suspicion. But I didn't expect that the official would directly lead his subordinates into the workshop to arrest people, in fact, I had doubts at that time, saying that Zhang Daliang also had the power of the sea. So he played a tune, ambushed on all sides, and only played the first section. After that, I arranged Yi Niang in my house, Yi Niang was still in love with Zhang Daliang at that time, and Zhang Daliang did not explain clearly, so he was not very close to the official. Zhang Daliang wants to say, but people are in my house, and it is not easy to persuade them. It wasn't until I put Yi Niang back that he said more things, and Yi Niang gradually wronged me. ”

"What can he compare to an official?"

"I can't say that, people also have feelings, and the status and talent of the official are higher than Zhang Daliang, but Yi Niang has feelings for Zhang Daliang, and she will not empathize with the official because of her talent and status, but she can only say that she will develop to the back and have more good feelings for the official. But Zhang Daliang's move has become a move to add to the snake. I don't believe in the so-called pure relationship between father-in-law and daughter, Zhang Daliang is smart, Yi Niang is young, and the festival is not well controlled, and the change in feelings suddenly makes me more suspicious, and it is too coincidental to provoke Li Yongde. This made me more certain that the person behind the scenes was Zhang Daliang, who deliberately released the ambush from all sides for a while, startled the snake, and let him show some horses' feet. ”

"Why?"

"Xing'er, you have no distractions in your heart, and you don't think about anything else. But if there is a ghost in my heart, I will think about many things, especially this person who strives for perfection, I have written many music scores before, just like green vegetables and radishes, and sent them to Master Zhiyue, why have I thought about a song for so long? Is it really because the guzheng is not my good at? This was the result of narcissistic suspicion, but then I was afraid of pushing him too hard, so I didn't provoke him with this piece again. ”

"Why is the little lady of the Wu family ......"

"The little lady of the Wu family, I want to ask Master Wu specifically, is Master Wu Bo? But I can say some for him. Zhang Daliang is not in the same group as them, and he will not know what my plans are. Before, I only doubted the relationship between Master Wu and Zhang Daliang, and I didn't dare to confirm it. Later, the whole city was arrested, Wu Qinan was forced by me, and when he went to the court to testify, Zhang Daliang must have known. Although I did some things to calm his mind, such as openly discerning the Buddha with the monks of various monasteries in Hangzhou, someone confessed that there was a rich man on the sea, and I had also tried it before. Zhang Daliang was always not at ease, and he persecuted Wu Qinan like me, but Wu Qinan did not agree. At that time, I was not sure that in order to protect Master Wu's book and verify the stolen money, I sent someone to confiscate his embezzled property and put him in a prison cell. So Zhang Daliang sent someone to find his wife, so that day she said that someone was intimidating, as long as the private salt was implicated, it was a capital crime, I arrested so many people, who dared to intimidate at this time? It was not for Wu Zhubo to confess those people to intimidate, no matter what the court did in the end, these people also fell, but Zhang Daliang. Therefore, first let her daughter come to my house to invite, and then bring her daughter to my house, she can't be my concubine, but when she enters my house, she can hear something from my family's mouth. Mrs. Wu, am I right? Why bother, why bother, you are not up to yourselves, and you want to harm your own daughters. ”

Wu Qinan's face was pale, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you ask until now?" ”

"It turns out that I am not sure, how to ask? Besides, I didn't want to alarm Zhang Daliang at that time. When Zhang Xia was there in the spring, we were able to cooperate with each other, but I didn't collect enough evidence, and I didn't know Zhang Daliang's detailed details, it was useless to arrest Zhang Daliang, he still had many cronies under him, and fled to the Wa Kingdom, you know how much negative impact it will have, and how important those two mines are to the imperial court. It is not the profit obtained, but the currency, there is copper in the South China Sea Islands, because the road is treacherous and far away, soldiers and officials must be sent everywhere, which is very cumbersome, and can only maintain the needs of the imperial court's currency, but all of them are found and mined, and they will not be lacking. But have you thought about the role of gold and silver? Not only jewelry and utensils, even if one or two pieces of silver are flooded, it will be worth five hundred wen, and its weight is only the weight of six copper coins, which is easy to carry, not to mention gold. So the imperial court needs those two mines. Then the evidence in my hand gradually became sufficient, and I met the two transporters in front of me, who were also unable to move. Fortunately, this time the three trial messengers sent by the imperial court, and the two new transfer envoys are all capable officials, and with their cooperation, it is time to conclude the case. Otherwise, these people are implicated in the state capitals of the two Zhejiang, what should I do? The rights of Shi Jie and I are combined, and it is inconvenient to arrest them. That's why I'm asking you at this time. After saying in one breath: "The people of Hangzhou signed for me to take office, but they were confused for a long time, worried for a long time, and it was time for the Dazhi to return." ”

It's coming to an end.

Either there is also a Chongyang Buddha Association.

He said again: "Let's say, Master Wu, if you know more, it's still an opportunity." The imperial court sent Yang Anguo as the presiding official, and he already had the idea of executing the case leniently, and the opportunity has come, not for yourself, for your children, but also to seize it. ”

…… The next day, he first met with the envoys of the Japanese state, and his heart was uncomfortable, and he said politely: "Our two countries have a strip of water and have been friendly countries since ancient times. ”

After the translation, the envoys rejoiced.

Zheng Lang said very hypocritically, but if this group of people arrived in Kaifeng, they would be warmly welcomed. In particular, the Song Dynasty was militarily weak, and it was full of desire for the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory and all countries to come to the dynasty.

He took them around the city of Hangzhou and made a friendship between guests and hosts.

Continue to take them to the West Lake, the white embankment in the north, the longer new embankment in the middle, like two green dragons, stopped on the emerald green lake, but the unbeautiful because of the deep digging, dug out a lot of lotus roots, this year the lotus leaves are much less. However, after removing a lot of lotus roots and weeds, the water surface became clearer, and you could almost see the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake.

Zheng Lang spoke to the county lord at this time.

She looks very beautiful, but the beauty is that she is a little shorter.

Sitting with four maidservants, like five flowers competing for beauty.

Zheng Lang didn't have much interest, his expression didn't show it, and he said to the county lord in a very gentle tone: "Do you know Confucianism? ”

"Yes."

"I am a disciple of Confucianism, I read Confucian books, and I also use Confucianism as a criterion for words and deeds, and my identity is only a minister, according to Confucian etiquette, I can only have one wife, which is about different from the customs of your country. Speaking of joint relatives, the Tang Dynasty and your country have no joint relatives, the relationship has always been very good, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been related several times, married to the most noble princess, but with the Tang Dynasty I, it has always been a sword and a sword. Therefore, since the founding of the DPRK, we have never made peace with foreign countries. Confucian etiquette, I can't have two wives, the state system, I won't marry a foreign country because of friendship. What do you say I should do? ”

"I, I ......"

"Don't worry, you go to the capital first to have a look, the capital is ten times more prosperous than Hangzhou. After reading it, you have to go to sea from Hangzhou to return to your motherland. During this time, you can think slowly, even send someone to inquire, or you can talk to our Majesty. ”

Saying that, Zheng Lang stood up and said goodbye.

Zheng Lang finally understood that the county lord was not as valuable as the Chinese county lord, that is, the women of the royal family, and some women had a very low status. For example, like Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty, she is not a real princess, she is the daughter of Li Daozong, a woman of the clan, and later Princess Jincheng is a real princess. It is possible that Princess Wencheng has not yet had a noble status, and this county lord is not serious. But Zheng Lang didn't want to take a concubine, and he also had emotional factors for the Wa Kingdom, so he refused to accept it.

Say pretty, there were no beautiful women in the Song Dynasty?

In the evening, let Fu Bi accompany the Japanese people, Zheng Lang gathered the representatives of the deed shares, and wanted to divide the accounts. In fact, this time the income was not much, including plates and other goods, there was no income of 2 million yuan, and the share of deed shares was 65/5, less than 400,000 yuan. Compared with the huge investment in the early stage, and the huge manpower, the benefits are too thin.

However, the representatives elected by each deed stock are very proficient in the accounts, and the more they look at the account books, the more excited they are on their faces. Although the earnings are thin, they are increasing at a rate of several times every month, and we can see considerable prospects.

Zheng Lang coughed and said: "The two mines of the Japanese slave country will not account for an important proportion in the future, and the proportion may not exceed fifty percent one, six percent one, and seventy percent of one, and I fancy gold and silver." ”

This is easier to understand, the Song Dynasty lacked copper, and even more gold and silver, so gold and silver became more and more expensive.

"There is also trade, which is really considerable, and the year after next will begin, and ten years later, we will see how much the real benefit is. There is no doubt about it, let's start splitting the accounts. ”

Serve an appetizer before the meal.

Divide the accounts, and the rest will be escorted to the capital by the ships that escorted the Japanese kingdom in the following days, which also makes Zhao Zhen happy. When he returned home after dark, he hastily ate dinner, and then called Ma Sui to inquire about the specific situation there.

The situation is not very good, nor is it very bad.

Wooed some samurai organizations, but because they were not very proficient in language, there were also ability problems, foreign countries, and many other factors, if there was a change now, Wang Zhaoming would not be able to control the situation over there. Unless you support another approved property, continue to woo with generous gifts.

Zheng Lang said in a deep voice: "After you go back, tell him that it is not enough to use only money, but also means, it is difficult for people to have sufficient intentions, and this is especially true for Japanese people." ”

"Wow. The royal chamberlain also asked his subordinates to report another piece of good news, and Yang Jiujin and the two of them brought back a batch of Jurchens. ”

"How's the fight?" Zheng Lang was pleasantly surprised, and also curious, the history books say that these girls are really vulgar and brave, like to fight, endure hunger, thirst and hardship, ride a horse up and down the cliff like flying, Jijiang River does not need a boat, floating horses and cross, dare to love is not a human being, it is a monster wearing human skin. The record is too exaggerated, but later Aguta only relied on 10,000 people in his hands, most of which were captured prisoners, and defeated the most elite Khitan army of 270,000.

Therefore, Zheng Lang's heart is always a mystery about the combat effectiveness of the birth girl. It can't be compared with the Jin soldiers defeated by Yue Fei, it is not an army of Jurchen, seven out of ten are Han Chinese, two-tenths and five are Khitans and soldiers of other ethnic groups, and less than half of them are real Jurchens, even if they are half of them, most of them are mature Jurchens.

After asking, he looked at Ma Sui expectantly
