The morning light is faint, the campfire outside the thatched cottage will be left, and the lights of the corner tower are still like the bright moon hanging above the treetops in the west sky.

Although it is an open-air open space, Lin Jingzhong also served with all his heart, prepared melons, fruits, tea and wine for Xiao Xuanchou, Zhang Yubo, Zhang Wendeng, Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and other officials for pastime, and also took copper basins to hold charcoal fire around to expel the cold air of the spring night, and also provided supper to the soldiers stationed at the south gate of the fence to satisfy their hunger. The guards who gave Qin Chengbo in front of and behind the cottage were tightly guarded, and they couldn't see any movement inside, and they didn't know that it would take so long to interrogate Chen Zhi overnight.

Zhao Qinmin didn't hide at this time, his connections in Jiangning City were much wider than Lin Jingzhong's, and the Jiangning officials gathered in front of the grass hall tonight, Lin Jingzhong didn't know a few people, he knew almost all of them, and he came forward to greet Lin Jingzhong together. In fact, Zhao Qinmin had no other choice but to take refuge in Gu Wuchen, and he also wanted to sit on this matter and reduce Wang Xueshan's murderous intentions towards him.

Zhao Qinmin's eyes looked at the faintly lit grass hall window paper, only a few faint figures were reflected on the snow-white window paper, he knew that it was not difficult to make Jiangning Mansion revoke the sea fishing documents for his family, but it was not easy to completely dispel Wang Xueshan's murderous intentions towards him, even if Wang Xueshan would compromise to the end tonight, he would try his best to remove the handle that Gu Wuchen held in his hand.

Lin Jingzhong and Zhao Qinmin turned around to leave, and heard the squeaky sound of the wooden planks in the grass hall, looking at the door of the grass hall that had been closed in the middle of the night, it was pushed open from the inside at this time, and it was Lin Jian who opened the door, he turned sideways and let the tall and fat Qin Chengbo come out first.

Qin Chengbo covered his mouth and yawned, he hadn't worked so hard for many days, he looked at the officials who had been waiting outside all night standing up, and then he calmed down, cleared his throat and said: "Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi is greedy and incompetent, bewitching the market, and framing others, fortunately, the divisions can see his treachery and fail to make it succeed. Jiandongcheng Lieutenant is chaotic, the three divisions will decide, and the post of Dongcheng Lieutenant will be led by Zuo Sikou and Zhang Yubo, who will be selected to fill the position in the future......"

After a night of interrogation, Chen Zhi's bullshit charges were not confirmed, and in the end, he had to be tried by the Jiangning Mansion and the Inspectorate in the future, but the officials present understood that Wang Xueshan and Gu Wuchen had a compromise for the time being. The most likely to bring down Wang Xueshan's chess piece Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi still fell into the hands of Wang Xueshan, according to the inspection envoy is only a trial, it seems that Gu Wuchen is not in a hurry to set off a storm in Jiangning City, Zhang Yubo is Gu Wuchen's Dongyang Township Party, and he has been excluded in the Jiangning Mansion in the past, this time he can also lead the Dongcheng Lieutenant, it seems that Wang Xueshan has made a lot of compromises to keep his position. Of course, everyone knows in their hearts that Wang Xueshan's compromise will not be the only one, but these are the secret agreements between Wang Xueshan and Gu Wuchen, and it is naturally inconvenient for others to prick up their ears to inquire.

Looking at Qin Chengbo's smiling and satisfied appearance, he knew that he had also reaped a lot of benefits from it, and several subordinates sent by the Xuanfu envoy and the admiral general also secretly regretted in their hearts, if the adults of their family were not afraid of being too deeply involved and came together, they would naturally be able to reap the benefits from last night's secret discussion, and now they can only watch Gu Wuchen reach a secret agreement with Wang Xueshan and Qin Chengbo, and there is no share of the two of them at all.

The matter was agreed, and Qin Chengbo did not want to stay in this dilapidated place for a moment, so he ordered the water camp warships outside the estuary to be withdrawn, and the elites of the two battalions also drew camps to return to the city with him; Wang Xueshan, Zhang Wendeng and other officials of the Jiangning Mansion also returned to the city surrounded by 100 close followers of the Wang family, and the subordinates sent by the Xuanfu envoy and the admiral naturally had no need to stay any longer. Xiao Xuanchou was not Gu Wuchen's cronies, and he also resigned and left. In the morning light, the fence was full of people, and in the blink of an eye, it was empty, and there were not too many people walking on the ridge road, and the fields south of the fence naturally had to be trampled again.

At this time, Gu Wuchen summoned Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu, Ma Chao and others into the grass hall to discuss with them, and specially ordered Zhao Qinmin to come in together, he knew that Zhao Qinmin had no other choice, and let him participate in confidential matters to envelop his heart; Lin Jian asked Lin Jingzhong to cook some supper, Gu Wuchen was really happy at this time, and when Lin Jingzhong arranged for someone to bring the supper, he also asked Lin Jingzhong to stay in the grass hall to talk. In addition, Chen Zhi's dismissal was investigated, the Dongcheng lieutenant was temporarily vacant, and his post was led by Zhang Yubo, who joined the army of Zuo Sikou, and the others left in a mess, and the four or five hundred men and horses of the Dongcheng lieutenant were still stranded in the fence to wait for Zhang Yubo to rectify.

"In just two days, Jiangning City can be regarded as turbulent and the situation has changed dramatically," Gu Wuchen took a bowl and sent a white, round and tender crispy rice ball to his mouth, regardless of any manners, he laughed with everyone excitedly, "Lin Jian wants to be the first credit." ”

Gu Wuchen has been difficult since he took office in Jiangning, and he didn't expect that there would be a breakthrough in just two days. He knew that Wang Xueshan would not be so good, and he would not be able to honestly fulfill many conditions after agreeing to many conditions tonight, but it is a fact that he seized the initiative here, and Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo and others also officially became his cronies in Jiangning by the Dongyang Township Party after this incident, and transferred Liu Xilin from Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang, to control the security power in the Dongcheng area - this can be said to have a firm foothold in Jiangning, and there are some forces to compete with others in Jiangning. After this incident, it will no longer let the other forces in Jiangning City despise and snub, so how can Gu Wuchen not be excited?

Gu Wuchen looked at Lin Lian more and more happily, without Lin Lian's fierce attack on the market scoundrels in the East Market and forcing Wang Xueshan to make a stun move, how could there be such a situation?

Chen/Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu and others naturally would not take credit for Lin Tie, they also thought in their hearts, if they were Lin Tie in that situation, they were afraid that it would be difficult to open the situation with such a sharp and decisive attitude, Jiangning City said that Dongyang Juzi Lin Tie was the first person under Gu Wuchen's sect, and they had to admit it in their hearts.

Lin Jian knew that his attitude at this time should be guarded against arrogance, so as not to cause unhappiness in the hearts of others, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "My contribution is really limited, if it wasn't for Yang Dianwei and Ma Dianwei to bring people to Dongshi to save me the day before yesterday, with my reckless nature, I am afraid that I will be beaten into a pig's head and wait for adults to come to save me; If Chen Zhixian hadn't rushed to help last night, this situation would not have been able to be controlled; Lord Zhang also ran for this matter, and it was very hard - of course, the Lord was in the middle of the plan, and the four of them were imprisoned in the city, forcing Wang Xueshan to make a mess, which was a wonderful move. Among them, Mr. Zhao has the most taste, and adults can ask Mr. Zhao if they don't believe it. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao's abandonment of darkness and enlightenment for the sake of Master Mu is the real first merit, if Mr. Zhao does not know the righteousness, this time he can only teach a few scoundrels and hooligans. ”

Zhao Qinmin saw that Lin Lian's words were smooth, and everyone was happy, thinking to himself, how could he be a reckless person? He took refuge in Gu Wuchen because of the situation to save the life of his only son, and at this time, he could only compliment Gu Wuchen in the tone of Lin Bin.

People like to listen to good words, and besides, Gu Wuchen is also quite satisfied with his disposal, so he naturally laughed, and he said: "Mr. Zhao will live here for a while with peace of mind, and I will have my own arrangements for you in the future......"

"If Mr. Zhao doesn't think that this affairs are insignificant, I dare to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain to help," Lin Lian said to Zhao Qinmin, and then turned sideways to Gu Wuchen and said, "It is difficult to build much scale within the estuary fence with the financial resources of the Jiyun Society. After all, Jingzhong is young and knowledgeable, and if Mr. Zhao is in the center of planning these affairs, he will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort......"

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing is to be a master of high merit, after this incident, the forces on the estuary side have gradually become strong, and Lin Jian did not believe that Gu Wuchen could completely rest assured that these forces and interests would be handed over to him to control. Instead of arousing Gu Wuchen's suspicion and the jealousy of others, it is better to take the initiative to give up power and interests at this time. Aside from Prison Island, Lin Jian just wanted to hold the Jiyun Society firmly in his hands. Zhao Qinmin took refuge in Gu Wuchen, and Gu Wuchen also used his thoughts, so it was better to ask Zhao Qinmin to be the steward for Gu Wuchen for a period of time here.

Besides, inviting other Dongyang Township parties to invest money in the estuary, these Dongyang Township parties will also look forward to Wuchen, and Lin Jian also knows that he does not have enough qualifications and people to gather the Dongyang Township Party forces around him. The most important label on his own body is the Gu family, he can be so strong in Jiangning, and he also relies on Gu Wuchen to check the brand of the deputy envoy, and he is really stingy at this time.

Lin Jingzhong was a little reluctant, the situation here was obviously earned by Lin Tie, and he wanted to give away a large piece of benefits, but he was not qualified to interject, it was very fortunate to be able to sit here, so he sat aside and said nothing.

Gu Wuchen did not shirk at all, he was very satisfied with Lin Lian's initiative, if he wanted to gather the township party forces more effectively for his own use, he had to have a clearer interest goal, and asked Zhao Qinmin directly: "Can you be wronged sir?" ”

Zhao Qinmin naturally knew that he couldn't escape from doing things for Gu Wuchen, and he didn't have the qualifications to pick and choose, so he nodded and agreed, and said: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint the adults if I don't do my job well......" Thinking that the defense of the estuary here seemed to be very sparse at first, but as long as he saw the confrontation with the Dongcheng Lieutenant in front of the fence yesterday, he knew that Lin Jian and Jiyun Society had effective management and organization, and it was extremely difficult for strangers to sneak in and assassinate, if he returned to the city now, he was afraid that he would hide in Gu's house all day long and dare not go to the street. On the estuary, you can be more free.

"Sir, don't be too modest......" Gu Wuchen laughed, and said to Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang and others, "You also have to worry about this matter." ”

"Of course." Chen/Yuan Liang and Zhang Yubo agreed.

Lin Jian spent a lot of effort to build a wharf and a warehouse here has begun to take shape, and now Wang Xueshan has promised to make Jiangning Mansion and Moling County jointly bear the cost of road construction, and the prison guards have the right to assist in the defense of the estuary, and there is a certain guarantee in the security and anti-banditry.

Lin Jian was calm, knowing in his heart that he could not take all the benefits, and the benefits that did not belong to him were shared with others, and there was nothing to feel sorry for, and said: "There are more than 500 people imprisoned in the market here, and I can't get involved in the matter of atonement money, but I want Chen Zhixian and Master Zhang to discuss it carefully, or I want to trouble Yang Dianwei to work hard, it is best to screen these people and convict them." If the ringleader or the owner has a family property, the conviction is serious; If the settlement is broken, the crime can be lightly punished; If you become a force, you can be severely punished, I have made a rough calculation, and you can get tens of millions of money......"

Gu Wuchen, Chen/Yuanliang, and Zhang Yubo heard Lin Jian say this, their eyes lit up, indeed, if they don't make a difference, they will be fined 10,000 yuan each, at most they can be fined more than 5 million yuan, and there may be many broken households who can't pay the ransom money. According to Lin Bin's method, these market children are screened, classified and convicted, and they can indeed extort a lot more.

After Gu Wuchen arrived in Jiangning, the biggest disadvantage was that there were too few available manpower, and another disadvantage was limited financial resources. Whether it is recruiting staff, raising servants and entourage, and ushering in and opening up many joints in the officialdom, there is no place where you don't need to spend money, and you have to use a large amount of silver. Gu Wuchen is only a hundred taels of silver, even if his family wants to live a nourishing life, Gu Wuchen is lacking silver at this time.

Negotiate with Wang Xueshan and make an appointment with this atonement money to make up for the damage here, this is just talking, how to distribute this money in the end, and Gu Wuchen still has an idea, of course Lin Jian will not be stupid to really put this money into his private pocket, he simply handed over the matter of extortion money to Chen \/Yuan Liang and Zhang Yubo and others to do.

"Yang Pu will work hard, Mr. Zhao is also in the estuary, so he can participate in it......" Gu Wuchen didn't mention these material damages, just thought that he could get together the atonement money and take out a sum of money to subsidize it.
