It can be said that these wealthy coastal families are probably the group most concerned about the direction of policy.

Tu Ren came to see Qin Zhongtang not only on behalf of him alone, not only on behalf of the Tu family, but on behalf of all the big coastal families in Ningbo Prefecture.

In other words, these wealthy coastal families needed a representative to come to see Qin Zhongtang, and Master Tu Rentu happened to be in trouble, so he was pushed out.Who told Zhang Shixing to cause trouble at Sanjiangkou, and Zhang Shixing is Tu Ren's nephew, Master Tu can't ignore it.

Moreover, Mr. Tu's identity is also very powerful. Not only has he made a name for himself, but he also has a cousin Tu Qiao who is the censor of the left capital, and a nephew Zhang Shiche who is a third-rank official.

According to the social habits of the officialdom, Master Tu is decent enough to ask to see all the officials in the world.

At this time, when Qin Zhongtang met the local people just now, he talked a lot, and he was a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea and said to Tu Ren who was still in a daze: "If you have nothing to say, then step back. One big Don’t stand here and wait on you when you’re old, and outsiders will think they’re punishing you.”

Master Tu suddenly woke up. How could he leave without saying a word?
Moreover, Master Tu guessed that Qin Zhongtang's yelling to kill and thank the inspector might just be a feint.

Qin Zhongtang's soldiers dragged Xie Xunjian outside just now, probably just pretending to kill him, the purpose is to intimidate himself!Thinking of this, Master Tu felt a little upset, he was almost intimidated by such a trick.

So he subconsciously sarcastically said: "Zhongtang wants to kill that Xie inspector, please kill him if you have the guts, why play tricks on others!"

Qin Dewei was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup, and ordered to the left and right soldiers: "Send the word out, this Tu Ren satirized Ben Zhongtang's cowardice, dare not kill and thank the inspector!

He also urged Ben Zhongtang to kill one if he had the guts!That being the case, let's do it quickly! "Tu Ren: "."

Fuck!If Xie Xunjian really died here and the details got out, wouldn't he be an indirect murderer?How would the people of Yuyao Xie's family view themselves after that?

Not long after, a soldier came in from the outside carrying a head, and showed it to Master Tu. This head was none other than the inspector Xie who was dying.

Qin Zhongtang said coldly: "I am young and vigorous, so I can't stand it."

Master Tu felt chills in his heart, Qin Zhongtang was unpredictable and unpredictable, it was a bit scary.Killing someone, but throwing more than half of the blame on himself.

While thinking about it, he shouted emphatically to himself: "You are killing indiscriminately!"

Qin Dewei asked scoldingly: "Using official power to block the road and rob [-] bolts of silk, and you have no repentance at all, and you don't even think it is a crime, shouldn't you kill it?

From this, it can be seen that this inspector Xie has done a lot of evil in the past. If such a person falls into the hands of Ben Zhongtang, there is no need to live. "Having said that, if this Xie Xunjian knelt down and begged for mercy, Qin Zhongtang might not have murderous intentions.

But a nine-rank patrol inspector dares to "do business" with Zhongtang University's supervisor, who do you think you are?

Xie Xunjian's biggest mistake was to treat Qin Zhongtang as an ordinary gangster, and to think of the officialdom as "stopping".

Then he didn't realize that Qin Zhongtang was a wartime coach with the privilege of killing people, and he didn't realize that he was not a civil servant and had no political amulet as an inspector.

Now the whole southeast is looking at Qin Zhongtang, if even a Ninth-Rank inspection has to show Huairou, then everyone will be slapped in the face in the future!
Tu Ren can't think of that much for the time being, and he is not worried that he will be killed, after all, he has political privileges in his body, and he is worried about another aspect.

Xie Xunjian, who forcibly bought five hundred bolts of silk, paid the price with his life, so what would Qin Zhongtang do in Sanjiangkou, where he lost one or two thousand bolts of silk?
Qin Dewei was too lazy to talk, and saw off the guest again: "If you just want to persuade me to kill and thank the inspector, then the matter is over and you can go!"

For these wealthy coastal families, Qin Dewei really didn't like him at all.

In history, Japanese pirates have become a serious problem, and coastal defenses have been slack. These big smugglers who are both well-established and established can be said to be "indispensible"

".Master Tu only felt that this Qin Zhongtang was really difficult to deal with, as if every word and every word was provoking people.

He must not just leave like this, otherwise it would be a big joke. Master Tu hurriedly said again: "An important event happened at Sanjiangkou outside Ningbo City. Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Ge, trafficked thousands of bolts of silk to Sanjiangkou."

In fact, the discerning people in the local area have already realized that Qin Zhongtang sent people to deliver several dry bolts of silk to Ningbo, probably for the purpose of causing trouble.

Only when the situation got out of hand would Qin Zhongtang have an excuse to go to Ningbo, which was something the local wealthy families did not want to see.For these aristocratic families who do gray business, they are all flaws, and they are easy to be brought up to talk about things.

Even if Qin Zhongtang doesn't have the ability to turn the tables completely, it's still very easy to only toss one or two.

"Wrong! Those silks are not from Yan Shifan, but from the shogunate!" Qin Dewei interrupted Tu Ren's introduction and corrected him.Master Tu was speechless for a moment, what did Qin Zhongtang want to do?
He said that these goods belonged to Yan Shifan, which was equivalent to having a buffer, without directly involving Qin Zhongtang, saving each other's face, and solving the problem better.

But Tu Ren never expected that Qin Zhongtang played his cards completely unreasonably and directly admitted that the goods belonged to him!In this case, their local wealthy family can only face Qin Zhongtang directly, and there will be no room for maneuver in the matter!
After thinking for a while, Master Tu continued, "After Yan Shifan and the others clashed with the local tooth shop, one or two hundred Japanese pirates suddenly appeared and besieged the local people, causing a large number of local people to be seriously injured!"

This sentence has two meanings. First, it identifies the thieves who participated in the siege of the local people as Japanese pirates; then it implies that someone "colludes" with Japanese pirates.Why did the pirates help Qin Zhongtang's smuggling fleet to besiege the locals? It goes without saying, there must have been collusion!
So it's better to calm down and stop expanding!
Qin Zhongtang chuckled a few times, if it was really Xu Weixue's handwriting, it would not be an exaggeration for this group of half sea merchants and half pirates to be called Japanese pirates.But he said unforgivingly: "I heard that the Japanese pirates are cruel by nature and kill people at every turn. Few of the Japanese pirates will survive.

However, there are more than [-] of you locals, but all of them were injured in the end, and occasionally a few were seriously injured. This is very doubtful.I wonder why the Japanese pirates are so abnormal and completely spare the lives of these gangsters? "

Qin Zhongtang's hint was so obvious that it almost made it explicit.The ones who really have contact with these Japanese pirates are probably your locals in Ningbo Prefecture, right?
Master Tu first sighed with emotion, Qin Zhongtang's sophistry skills really lived up to his reputation.

But even after being beaten, he was still classified as colluding with Japanese pirates, which made Master Tu very dissatisfied: "If Qin Zhongtang has this attitude, it will be difficult to continue talking."

Qin Dewei rolled his eyes: "I didn't intend to talk to you at first, but you are the one who stands here and refuses to leave."

Suddenly felt that talking with Qin Dewei would shorten his life by at least ten years!

Thinking of the task he shouldered, Master Tu took a deep breath, but still refused to leave, and said again: "Actually, I wanted to persuade Zhongtang not to go to Ningbo."

Qin Dewei asked knowingly, "Why?"

Of course, he understood very well that no one in Ningbo, such aristocratic smugglers, wanted people of his level to go to Ningbo.Originally, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the days when you closed your door and made a fortune in silence were the best days.

If there is a prime minister and supervisor like Qin Zhongtang sitting in Ningbo, no matter what Qin Zhongtang's attitude is, it will make the local wealthy family very troublesome.If Qin Zhongtang's attitude is strict, then it will be a huge obstacle to local smuggling, which will affect the wealthy families to continue to make a fortune;

If Qin Zhongtang wanted to collude with others, then the local wealthy family would have to "pay tribute" to Qin Zhongtang, and a large sum of money would be taken away for nothing.So Qin Zhongtang actually wanted to take a look, and the local area wanted to find some excuse to dissuade himself.

Afterwards, I heard Tu Ren say: "There is something unknown in Zhongtang. Rumors have spread in Ningbo, and people are in a state of panic." Qin Dewei asked curiously, "What are the rumors?"

Tu Ren replied: "For example, it has been rumored recently that the imperial court intends to call in the Beijing camp to arrange arrangements in Fujian and Zhejiang, and public opinion is in an uproar. Zhongtang went to Ningbo,
It just adds fuel to the fire and the people's hearts are unstable. "

Qin Dewei nodded and said: "It's okay, I'm the one who released this rumor, and it's a test of the acceptance of coastal civilians." Tu Ren: "."

There is a question that must be considered, if you continue to talk to Qin Dewei, will you be pissed off on the spot?

Thinking of the tasks on his shoulders, not only to dissuade Qin Zhongtang from going to Ningbo to sit in command, but also to find out Qin Zhongtang's attitude towards maritime affairs.So Tu Ren went on to say: "I don't know what Qin Zhongtang thinks about it. You must not transfer the Beijing army to the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian!"

Qin Dewei asked rhetorically: "I see that now that the Japanese pirates are on the rise, most of the coastal guards are unusable, and the Beijing camp has a large number of soldiers. Why not send a small number of them to the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian to fill the gap?"

Tu Ren quickly said: "The defense of the sea still depends on the common people, and we must vigorously recruit local soldiers to join the defense!"

Qin Dewei nodded and said: "Mr. Tu is a seasoned planner, and what he said is accurate! That's it, I'll send you to the Hangzhou shogunate, write a plan carefully, and discuss it when I go back!"

Afterwards, several personal soldiers surrounded Tu Ren.

On the next day, before Qin Zhongtang continued his journey, he hung Xie Xunjian's head at the gate of the post station to show the public, who knows how deterrent it would be.

Another person from Xie's house in Yuyao came and said: "I can't raise enough silk for a while, and I can't pay the shogunate in kind. Can it be converted into silver taels?"

Qin Zhongtang resolutely responded: "This official is only for punishment, not for money! So I only want the real thing, not silver taels!" It's not that I don't want to give the Xie family face, but mainly because the Xie family's petty thinking makes Qin Zhongtang feel uncomfortable.

As long as there is a smuggling channel in hand, once the silk changes hands, it is more valuable than silver. Of course, the Xie family is not willing to pay for the silk.

No wonder in the original history, the Xie family in Yuyao was ransacked ashore by pirate chieftains because of a smuggling business dispute, and then set off a fig leaf for the wealthy coastal families.

After that, Qin Dewei's boat continued eastward, and after entering the territory of Ningbo Prefecture, officials from Cixi County came to greet him.

After a brief coping in Cixi County, we continued on our way.Before arriving at Fucheng, he saw Yan Shifan waiting at the post station on the way.

Qin Dewei asked in surprise: "I heard that you and Xu Weixue were detained in Sanjiangkou, and your lives would be in danger at any time. Why did you appear here again?"

Yan Shifan replied: "I didn't even die, that really disappointed Zhongtang! Fucheng heard that you were coming, so they let me go first! Probably Qin Zhongtang's reputation is far-reaching, and the local government always wants to show kindness! They don't understand how to show their kindness!"

Qin Zhongtang asked again, "Where is the rest of the silk?"

Yan Shifan still replied firmly: "They are still being detained, Zhongtang can ask for them on his own! With Zhongtang's face, there must be no problem!"

Qin Zhongtang reprimanded, "I ordered you two to sell silk to raise funds for the shogunate. That's how you do things? You really deserve to be punished!"

Yan Shifan is not afraid of boiling water for a dead pig: "Anyway, there are only [-] pieces of silk left, and they haven't been sold yet, so you can punish them as you like!" So Qin Dewei wondered why Yan Shifan didn't seem to be afraid of himself at all?

It turned out that when Yan Shifan faced himself, he was a little bit afraid, but today's performance really doesn't matter.

Could it be that he has lost his ability to deter Yan Shifan?Qin Zhongtang couldn't help becoming suspicious, what was the problem?In fact, under Qin Zhongtang's entrapment, Yan Shifan faced life and death again and again, and his nerves became stronger.

And compared to those fatal occasions, it is impossible for Qin Zhongtang to publicly push himself out to be beheaded. Of course, Qin Zhongtang's place is relatively safest.As long as he doesn't die, what else is there to be afraid of, Master Yan Shifan?

Qin Zhongtang suddenly changed his gentle tone, and said with a pleasant smile: "Don't be discouraged! Although you didn't succeed this time, just keep doing it again!"

Yan Shifan said impatiently: "It's the same again and again! It's impossible to transport the goods to Shuangyu Island! Unless you just want to be an inland river errand to earn some hard money between Hangzhou and Ningbo!"

But Qin Dewei said: "There is a saying that there is no difficult business in the world! I have an important task for you."

Yan Shifan refused, saying, "I don't want to do the task anymore!"

Qin Dewei nodded and said: "Since you agreed, then listen carefully! We can do the same things that the wealthy coastal families can do, and we can do better than them!"

Yan Shifan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he was stunned when he heard this, what does Qin Zhongtang mean by this?
Qin Dewei said fiercely: "How can they monopolize such things as smuggling to make money? Why don't we make this money? This task is entrusted to you. You can do it freely. The shogunate is your strong one." backing!"

Yan Shifan still didn't understand, "What do you mean? If you just wanted to smuggle some goods to Shuangyu Island, the tone wouldn't be so formal?" Qin Dewei said it again: "What I mean is, I hope you can replace those wealthy families, Be the talker of smuggling along the coast of Zhejiang! Let there be no difficult business for us on the coast!"

Yan Shifan: "."

If you, Qin Zhongtang, want to kill him, just say so, why go around such a big circle?
