Chapter 385: The robbed silk

"Oh my Lord Shen," Huang Jin shouted help as soon as he met, "You have to help me."

"Don't worry, you say it slowly." Chen Si asked him to sit down and said, "Aren't you always in Hangzhou? Why did you run over from afar?"

"Tell me the truth," Huang Jin said sadly: "I'm here to take refuge... The creditor has taken over my nest. I have a home now and it's hard to go back..." As he said that, he wiped his tears.

Chen Si said strangely: "Who doesn't open his eyes and dares to make ground on Tai Sui's head?"

Huang Jin pursed his lips depressedly: "In our Jiajing Dynasty, who are these people? Don't look at them calling them father-in-law on the surface, I don't know how to bury them in my heart."

Silently smiled and comforted: "No, respect is still from the heart." He said, "Why is it going on? Let's talk to the official."

Huang Jin sighed and started from the beginning for the silence. It turned out that he had arrived in Hangzhou a year before Shen Mo. Because he was originally from the Weaving Bureau, he was naturally familiar with the reconstruction. He quickly restored his contact with several large silk cloth merchants and invited them to manufacture for the manufacturing bureau.

You should know that the silk cloth at this time was naturally extremely low because it was monopolized by marine merchants to export, and the price of silk cloth merchants was almost losing money. Now Huang Jin is eager to make contributions and gives the price very fair, but it is much more cost-effective than selling it to marine merchants. So several major silk cloth merchants in Hangzhou and Ningbo have all fallen into the arms of the weaving bureau and began to supply silk cloth to them with all their might.

Someone would ask, when Huang Jin got the capital when the palace was so poor? Yes, he really had no money. He brought 50,000 taels of silver from Beijing, and all of them were used as a storefront, renovating the dilapidated manufacturing bureau yamen very grandly. Then he sat in this glamorous yamen and summoned the silk merchants to negotiate. Because they were all old relationships more than ten years ago, the merchants still remembered the rules of the manufacturing bureau, which were delivered first and then settled the accounts, and never gave a deposit. Now, seeing that Huang Jinxiu spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on his yamen, he did not doubt that he was doing it according to the old rules.

The reason why Huang Jin dared to make money in this way was naturally his own way. When he left Beijing, he had to send a letter from the general in his hand, and shortly after arriving in Zhejiang, he prepared generous gifts and went to the Lu family in Pinghu to pay a visit to the mountain.

He is an old man. When he worked in the Hangzhou Manufacturing Bureau more than ten years ago, he knew that if he wanted to do a good job, he must first visit the Lu family in Pinghu.

Because the Lu family, which has been officials for generations, has deep roots in Zhejiang, especially after Lu Bing emerged, no one can stand out, but he is the only one who follows his leader. It can be said that in Zhejiang, there is basically nothing that the Lu family cannot do. Therefore, Huang Jin, with great sincerity, was preparing to use the 28-8 split into such a very tempting condition in exchange for the Lu family to match him and contact sales - of course it was not sold to the maritime merchants, he was preparing to find another way and transport it to the south.

"Going south?" Chen Si said softly: "Do you want to find Franji?"

"Smart! It's indeed the one who is optimistic about His Majesty!" Huang Jin praised: "Master Shen, you don't know. When I left the capital last year, Guangdong Province agreed to live in a paid island called "Hao Jingao". This matter was not allowed to be discussed by the cabinet, but only discussed it among several cabinet masters." He said with a wry smile: "It's because of money. Master Yan felt that the deserted island is also idle. It's better to rent it out to Guangdong for some rent, so he agreed."

"So you're going to find the Francophone guy to try your luck?" asked Silently.

"Can't you say you're lucky?" Huang Jin said: "Wang Zhi's group monopolizes the shipping, and the Franchise guys were also eaten to death. If I want my Ming Dynasty goods to be high, I have to endure Wang Zhi's blackmail." As he said that, he scratched his fat chin and said: "I think that in this way, we will have a common language with the Franchise guys. How can a good thing hit it off? "How can it be impossible?"

"Isn't this good?" asked with a silent smile.

"What's good?" Huang Jin cursed: "I'm really an eighty-year-old girl, but I'm so frustrated that the little bastard of the Lu family has made the trouble."

"What's going on?" When he heard this, he narrowed his eyes silently. The Lu family's big iron box was still lying in his government office, and no one asked him for it yet.

"The second master who was in charge of the Lu family has been there for several years." Huang Jin said depressedly: "Now the young master of the Lu family is in charge. I think he is a little worried when he is young, but thinking that such a big family and so many people can make him decide, it is obvious that he has outstanding features."

He smiled silently and heard Huang Jin continue, "So I'll ask him to give it a try. The boy was really amazing. He said he had already arranged it after a month. One thousand big trucks were transported south, and the cash on delivery would be paid, and I would give me a deposit of 10,000 taels."

"As soon as I saw those big trucks, I believed it a little. I felt that Lu Bing had a relationship with me, so he couldn't lie to me, so he delivered the goods quickly. But it was the first time after all, so I didn't give him too much. I only gave him two thousand pieces of silk, three thousand pieces of yarn and silk, and asked him to transport it on his behalf."

"At the end of last year, the money there was received, a total of 800,000 taels of silver, which was not a penny." Huang Jin said with a depressed look on his face, "So I handed over all the silk, 10,000 pieces of gauze, and 20,000 pieces of silk to the boy of the Lu family. After I got the four million taels, I would still give the commission from the Lu family a hundred and eight hundred thousand taels to the emperor. Then I, a servant, have made meritorious contributions." Speaking of this, he was heartbroken and trembled with his cheeks, "Who knew that when I arrived in Fujian, I actually met the Japanese and snatched all my goods, wuwu..." I really started crying now.

Chen Si frowned and said, "Since you are taking land, how close is to Guangzhou from Jiangxi? Why do you need to go to Fujian?"

"Who knows what's going on?" Huang Jin said in a crying voice: "I thought the Lu family could cover it, so I let them go. Who knows how they left Fujian?"

"There are many problems here," Chen Si sighed, "It's not me who said you, Eunuch Huang, it's clear that they are jealous of you. Nowadays, there is no saying that cash on delivery? Everyone doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk. At least they have to get the capital back first. How can there be such a generous master as you?"

"I don't want to do this either," Huang Jin said with a grim face: "The Lu boy is so good at speaking. He said that Franji people are the most honest. Since the contract is settled, they will be fulfilled. I asked him to say one sentence on the left, and there was one sentence, but he agreed in a daze."

"Oh..." Chen Si sighed with him: "This mute is suffering a lot."

"Who said no?" Huang Jin shivered and said, "Those creditors are waiting in the Weaving Bureau's yamen all day long, so I have to come and join you, Lord Shen."

"My father-in-law comes and I will naturally welcome you with both hands," said silently. "But unless you never do this business, you will still have to pay back the debt if you owe it. Otherwise, who dares to take on the work of the weaving bureau?"

"That's..." Huang Jin collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and grabbed his silent right hand tightly with his hands and said, "Mr. Shen, before I left the capital, Your Majesty once told me that if I encounter troubles that cannot be solved, just look for you, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me!"

Silence pulled back his hand without any trace and comforted him with a smile: "My father-in-law first stays in my mansion and rest for a while. When I straighten out the matter at hand, I can see if there is any way to help you solve the problem." This is not like Wanfuji, which is something that you have to bear without taking responsibility. Silence doesn't want to easily bear this unreasonable heavy burden.

Huang Jin was a little disappointed, but more grateful, because he knew that silence was just a newcomer and was poor and could not have any solutions, so he had to laugh: "Okay, I'll bother you for a while. Youdao is a plan for one person, and two of you are the plan for the best. Sooner or later, we two can come up with a plan for the best."

"That's what it means." Chen Shu nodded and smiled.

When Huang Jin was arranged to the inner house, he ordered people to serve him well. He sat silently on the chair of the Grand Master and closed his eyes and thought deeply. He did not expect that on the first day of taking office, things would come like a tide, and suddenly drowned people. He couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "The days of leisure are gone forever."

He raised his head, cleared his throat and said, "Come."

Sanchi, who was serving outside, came in and said, "What are the instructions of sir?"

"Two things, one, please come, and two, prepare for it. I will travel in condom at night."

"Yes." Sanchi went out, and after a while, Gui Youguang hurried over and saluted respectfully, "What are the instructions of sir?" After an afternoon out in the back hall, he did not dare to underestimate the young sir at all.

"Please help me with two things," Chen Mo said politely: "First, from tomorrow, the prices of rice, noodles, meat, eggs and other livelihood commodities in Suzhou City will be counted, and given them to me at noon at the latest, and this will be the case every day."

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a difficult task. Gui Youguang replied: "Abide by the order."

"Secondly, this matter is a bit complicated," said Chen Silently: "Sir, please find the main origin of the commodity being counted, and write the place in the name of this official, order or ask for assistance in monitoring prices."

Although it was a bit difficult, it was not impossible. Gui Youguang responded softly and asked again: "Sir, why are you monitoring the prices?"

Suddenly, he revealed the truth and smiled and said, "This thing is so important. It is said that people regard food as the most important thing. As long as the people do not worry about food, they will be more at ease. We control the prices and try to keep them reasonable, so the people will not be in chaos."

Gui Youguang thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Sir, I'll do it now." Then he said goodbye and walked away quickly.

It was already time to watch, and it was getting late. Tiezhu came in and said, "Sir, I have received three invitations in the front yard. Please check it out."

After silently, I saw that one was the school society and the literary club in Suzhou City, and jointly invited the Lord of the Mansion to the Lion Grove to the banquet; the other was the Wang family, a large family in the city, and the Humble Administrator's Garden; the other was the powerful family in Suzhou, "Wuxian Lu Family", who invited him to the Canglang Pavilion.

Looking at the place names that are well-known, silent and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So many scenic spots, why should we concentrate in one place? Isn't it good to share some else?" Of course, it was just a joke, because he also knew that birds of a feather flocked by birds of birds of birds of a feather flocked by people. Elegant and rich places will be elegant and sparse and wild places will be crazier, which is impossible to avoid.

At night, Chen Si changed into black clothes, quietly left the mansion in a carriage, turned left and right in Suzhou City, until he was sure to throw away all the stalking, he jumped out of the carriage at an intersection and let the carriage continue to circle around the city. Under the escort of the iron pillar, he headed to the mixed residential areas in the south of the city.

Then the cool moonlight, the two of them searched one by one on the street, and finally found the strange symbol at the intersection of a certain street. Following the guidance of the symbol, the iron pillar knocked on the gate of the second to last house.

The knock on the door of three long and two short, two short and three long broke the silence of the night and also alarmed the people inside: "Who?"

"Drinking friends." Tiezhu said: "I have drunk it in Hangzhou and I have also drunk it in Beijing."

It was quiet inside for a moment, and the door creaked open, revealing Zhu Shisan's familiar old face.

When he saw that it was indeed Chen Si and Tiezhu, he quickly let the two of them into the house and ordered people to go out and see if there were any spies who were following. Then he led Chen Si into the main house and smiled and said, "I just heard that you were here yesterday. I was thinking about how to visit the lord. I didn't expect you to come first."

Silently looked at him with anger and said, "What are you, you, do you still recognize me as a brother?"

"Hehe..." Zhu Shisan was flattered: "You are an adult now..."

"What big is it? Who is the person?" Chen smiled and cursed: "I will always be the clumsy words, and you will always be my thirteenth brother!"

Zhu Shisan could not have imagined that after silent became the Lord of the Mansion, he was still so humble. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "I will climb up." The two of them held hands and laughed.

Zhu Shisan ordered his men to serve a few side dishes and boil a pot of old wine. He then turned around and said, "I want to talk to Lord Shen. You all go out and keep an eye on it. Whoever dares to come, no matter who it is, take it down!" He was so murderous intent when he said this.

When everyone below left, he asked silently: "I heard from my brother, is there any sand in your subordinates?"

"Well..." Zhu Shisan hummed heavily, but found that his tone was inappropriate, so he slowed down: "This is inevitable. I didn't get started from Zhejiang. It fell from the sky all at once. It will take some time to calm all the bastards."

Seeing that he refused to talk about internal affairs in detail, he was silenced and didn't ask. He talked to him for a few words, and then he said directly: "I'll ask my brother something." He found him so late, so naturally he didn't reminisce about the past with Zhu Shisan, so there was no need to talk nonsense.

"You tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you." Zhu Shisan nodded.

"Pinghu Lu Family..." Chen Si asked softly: "What does it have to do with the Grand Governor?"

"Pinghu Lu family?" Zhu Shisan said: "Gen'er's hometown, Gen'er."

"Are you close?" asked silently.

"Of course, what is the status of the Grand Commander? It doesn't matter if you have to flatter him, let alone a blood relative of the same lineage?" Zhu Shisan recalled: "During the festivals, Zhejiang has sent filial piety. Every time, it is a hundred cars, but they are a family, and no one can tell anything." As he said that, he looked at him and said, "Brother, why are you asking this?"

Silently said: "I'm going to tell my brother that I met an assassin when I was staying in Xiaoshan Post last month. It was from the Lu family."

"No..." Zhu Shisan said in a lost voice: "The Governor has warned them not to make things difficult for you!"

听了这话,沉默心一沉,看来这里面确实是有猫腻的,要不然,陆炳也不会说出这种话!再联想到黄锦的遭遇,一个答案呼之欲出了!

But he couldn't say it, at least he couldn't say it in front of the Jinyiwei, so he forced himself to calm down and smiled, "Then ask me another question, does the Lu family in Wuxian have anything to do with the Lu family in Pinghu?"

"It should be," Zhu Shisan gave a positive answer and said: "Although I don't know what the relationship is, when I counted the gifts to the Grand Governor, I saw that the Lu family in Pinghu gave Xiao Jing, there was a share of the Lu family in Wuxian."

"So that's it..." Chen Si nodded slowly.

Zhu Shisan's eyes were dark and dark in the candlelight, as if he had made a great decision, and then he whispered: "Brother, brother, I advise you not to fight against the Lu family. Even if you are more knowledgeable than them and have higher skills, if you have the Grand Governor on it, you will not be able to win no matter what!"

"Well..." Chen Si let out a breath of turbid air. He naturally understood what Zhu Shisan said. He unconsciously turned the wine glass in his hand and asked quietly: "If we had a dispute, would you help them?"

"Of course not." Zhu Shisan shook his head vigorously and said, "We brothers are together, how can I help outsiders to fix you?" He said with a wry smile: "But I can't help you."

"That's good." Chen Shu laughed and said, "As long as you don't interfere, the people have never fought with officials since ancient times. I don't believe me, I can't cure him!"

"Since that's the case, brothers should take care of themselves." Zhu Shisan knew that the silence was right, so he stopped dissuading him.

"I would like to ask my brother for another matter. Please help me check where the silk that was robbed by the weaving bureau last month is now." Silence drank a glass of him and said as if he remembered something.
