Chapter 321: Extortion

What Qin Shuhuai gave to Wang Huazhen was the account book written by Master Zhao himself. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wang Huazhen took the account book and glanced at it a few times, and her face suddenly darkened.

He slapped the account book on the table fiercely and said, "It's just nonsense! Qin Shaobao, as the governor of Zhejiang, governs one side, and has always been fair and honest, and never shows favoritism, so he can't help but offend some people. This account book must have been written by a treacherous villain who instructed the Zhao family to frame the lower officials, please check it out. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled playfully and said, "Lord Wang is right, as an official, it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other, so you can't offend some people, so Ben Shaobao doesn't believe it." ”

Wang Huazhen immediately got up and bowed to Qin Shuhuai and said, "Shao Bao is wise." ”

But Qin Shuhuai immediately changed his words.

"However, since Ben Shaobao has come, he still has to check. I have brought so many brothers from Jinyiwei this time, and I also have to give them an explanation, right? Lord Wang, don't worry, I will let the brothers search casually and go through the motions. I believe that Lord Wang is an honest official, and he will not be able to find anything. ”

Wang Huazhen saw that Qin Shuhuai really wanted to search, and his back suddenly cooled. This time, Qin Shuhuai brought Jinyiwei over, and he was unprepared, so all the stolen money in the family did not have time to be transferred. Although these things are hidden in the secret cellar, they can definitely be turned out with the means of Jinyiwei.

Qin Shuhuai's famous Wang Huazhen was like thunder, knowing that this person had always been bold, and he would definitely not be afraid of the Donglin people. It is said that there are dozens of stab wounds on his body, which are densely covered all over his body, and this kind of person who is not even afraid of death will still be afraid of the threat of Donglin? Besides, he has the support of the emperor, and he is strong in martial arts, and mortals cannot get close to him, so he will not be afraid.

If he had found out so much money from his family, he might have been able to take himself on the spot. He now has all the human and material evidence in his hands, even if the Donglin people want to save themselves, they can't save themselves!

Thinking of this, his cold sweat suddenly fell.

No, why didn't he search as soon as he came up, but wanted to talk to himself for a while first, was he hinting at me something?

Wang Huazhen is an old fritter in officialdom, and he feels that he has sniffed out Qin Shuhuai's "intentions". Although this person is not afraid of death, he is also a human being after all, right? I don't know what he likes, money, beauty or power?

Thinking of this, Wang Huazhen calmed down and said, "Qin Shaobao, as the minister of the Qin Mission, wants to search the mansion of the lower officials, and the lower officials should cooperate." However, Shaobao, if this matter spreads, no matter whether the brothers can find anything or not, the official reputation of Yu Xia will always be unfavorable. The lower officials have been honest and honest all their lives, and they have always regarded their reputations as more important than their lives, if Shao Bao can sympathize with the heart of the lower officials and cherish their feathers, the lower officials will be grateful. ”

When saying the words "grateful", Wang Huazhen can add an accent, and the tone is also meaningful.

Qin Shuhuai immediately understood, but he still made a look of embarrassment, and said, "Lord Wang, I understand your feelings. After all, you Donglin scholars, the first importance of the word 'name', don't you all call yourself 'Qingliu', then you are naturally incorruptible, where are there any corrupt officials!"

"Yes, yes, Qin Shaobao said yes. ”

"But! Now that Jinyiwei's brother is waiting outside for a search, Zhao Xinian is waiting for me to call him back, and the emperor also hopes that I can do something practical in Jiangnan, you see that I just went back 'empty-handed', and I can't explain to anyone, right?"

When he said "empty-handed", Qin Shuhuai also added an accent, and his tone was quite ambiguous.

After Wang Huazhen heard these four words, she was very happy, and even a little overjoyed.

Qin Shaobao, Qin Shaobao, I'm just waiting for your words! I'm not afraid that you will stretch out your hand, but I am afraid that you will not stretch out your hand! As long as you take my silver, we will be on the same boat!

So he immediately arched his hand at Qin Shuhuai and said, "What Qin Shaobao said is true, what he said is extremely true! Shaobao is burdened, so naturally he needs to explain to his colleagues, the people, and the emperor! Shaobao rest assured, the lower officials will never let Shaobao go back 'empty-handed'!"

Qin Shuhuai crossed Erlang's legs, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Lord Wang is really understanding! But Ben Shaobao came this time to promise the emperor that he must find out a few big and important cases." So ......"

Wang Huazhen's eyes purred, and she said in her heart, what a big case, an important case, don't you just want to make more money? Okay, here you go, I'm afraid your appetite is too small to eat!

Thinking of this, he said with a smile on his face, "What Shao Bao means, Xia Guan understands." A few days ago, the lower officials happened to investigate and deal with a number of corrupt officials, and the amount of stolen money received by these corrupt officials was simply shocking, and it can be called a major and important case......! Naturally, it has to be handed over to Shaobao. ”

Qin Shuhuai rubbed his hands involuntarily, and then laughed and said, "Oh? Hahaha, Lord Wang really has a heart! By the way, I don't know how much this stolen silver is?"

Wang Huazhen approached Qin Shuhuai and stretched out a finger with a chuckle.

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "This is?"

"The stolen silver is as high as one million taels!" Wang Huazhen smiled playfully, and then looked at Qin Shuhuai expectantly, wanting to see his surprised eyes.

But Qin Shuhuai's face was expressionless.

Just kidding, the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have contracted nearly half of the foreign smuggling of the Ming Dynasty, and all the smuggling in the Middle East has been completed here. How much profit was made from smuggling back then? Just give an example. During the Jiajing period, there was a man named Wang Zhi, who started by smuggling, and became the strongest maritime group along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and in his heyday he had 200,000 subordinates and hundreds of giant ships of more than 120 tons, completely killing the Ming Dynasty sailors. Later, Zheng Chenggong and his son were the same, and they built up a strong personal armed force with smuggling, and it was not a problem to take back Taiwan from the Dutch. Think about it, how much money does it cost to spend so many people and so many huge ships a year? If the profit from smuggling is not high, can they afford it?

And Wang Huazhen, as the highest local governor in Zhejiang (at that time, the governor of Jiangnan had been abolished, and there was no governor in Zhejiang, so the governor was the largest), under the condition of completely controlling the smuggling trade along the coast of Zhejiang, how much money did he have to make in a year? Even if he still had to pay tribute to the bigwigs of the Donglin Party, his annual income would definitely be more than a million taels, right?

So this old turtle is clearly bullying Qin Shuhuai and not understanding the market.

Qin Shuhuai took a sip of tea lightly, and then didn't say a word, but his face became more and more ugly.

Wang Huazhen's brows furrowed slightly, and she said in her heart that this surnamed Qin is not only ruthless in fighting, but also ruthless when he knocks on the bamboo pole! Okay, see how much you can want! How much money you charge Lao Tzu, you have to do as much as you can do for our Donglin Party!

So he said, "Lord Qin, this million taels has only just been found, and the lower officials have preliminarily estimated that if they go to search again, they will still be able to find one million taels! In this way, this batch of stolen silver will be as high as two million taels!"

Qin Shuhuai was still silent after listening to this, and continued to drink tea.
