Brocade legend

Chapter 289 Salt Iron Tea

Shortly after Lu Bing killed Shi Yong, the commander of the Xicheng army and horses with a pumpkin hammer, Guo Ming, who recovered from his body, was appointed as the new commander of the Xicheng army and horses.

Naturally, Lu Bing and Yan Song were the ones supporting and arranging this.

The combination of Lu Bing and Yan Song created a great sense of urgency for Xia Yan. He felt that Yan Song was approaching step by step. He felt that if he didn't try to fight back, his position as chief assistant would be lost!

That being the case, Xia Yan also had a calculation in his heart. If he wanted to completely defeat Yan Song, he had to defeat Lu Bing and Yan Song one by one!

Things were changing so fast and the situation was so serious that he no longer had time to ask for directions!He wants to let go and take down Lu Bing with all his strength first!

After thinking hard, Xia Yan had an idea!Since Lu Bing is difficult to deal with, let's cut off his minions first!
Xia Yan has been the chief assistant for many years, and he knows Daming very well, and he also knows Emperor Jiajing quite well.

Emperor Jiajing cared most about cultivating immortals, and cultivating immortals cost money. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was always sensitive to money. Anyone who touched his money would be disrupting his grand plan of cultivating immortals!Never give up!In Emperor Jiajing's mind, Chen Hong back then was no different than Lu Bing is now, and in the end, he still fell on earning Emperor Jiajing's money!
At that time, Emperor Jiajing was more forgiving and rational.Today's Emperor Jiajing has become obsessed with cultivating immortals and discussing Taoism. Anyone who dares to stop him from living forever will be killed!
Xia Yan is going to make Lu Bing violate the taboo of Emperor Jiajing!At that time, no matter whether it is Lu Bing or his Thirteenth Taibao, whoever gets involved will not be able to escape!

And Xia Yan, who is the chief assistant of Daming, knows exactly where Daming's money jar is!And next to these money jars, the figure of Jin Yiwei is indispensable!

"I don't believe it. You have such a great reputation as the [-]th Taibao of Jinyiwei, there is no one with dirty hands and feet? Just grab one! Get the evidence, and I can climb on you! Let you be forever!"

……

Sun Quan has always been the least conspicuous of the thirteen Taibao under Lu Bing's command.

His family has lived in Lu's residence for more than ten years. The Huang family and the Lu family are almost indistinguishable from each other, as if they are real relatives.

When Mrs. Lu had nothing to do, she chatted with Huang Duxian and his wife to relieve boredom, and the three old people kept each other company.

Huang Lianer is also commensurate with Xueyan and Mengniu sisters.Even their children have become the best friends of Lu Bing's son Lu Yi.

The Huang family are all masters in the world, and living in Lu's residence made Lu Bing feel at ease.And Lu Bing's power has also become the best umbrella for the Huang family.The two families have spent more than ten years supporting each other and forged a deep friendship.

Therefore, although Sun Quan kept a low profile, he was indeed someone Lu Bing relied on very much.

Not only that, Lu Bing has two most important forces in his hands, which were established with the help of the Huang family, and are now in the hands of Sun Quan and Huang Lian'er.

That is Jin Yiwei's "word of mouth" and "needle on the tail"!
"Kouzhongxin" is the spy organization in Lu Bing's hands, which is responsible for lurking, inquiring, monitoring and other tasks.

"Needle on the tail" is the killer organization in Lu Bing's hands, which is responsible for tasks such as anti-rape, assassination, and beheading.

The names of these two organizations are taken from a folk saying: "A poisonous snake has a letter in its mouth, and a wasp has a needle in its tail."

It refers to the most poisonous thing in the world.

These two organizations belonged to Jinyiwei, but they directly obeyed Lu Bing's orders, and were only responsible for relatively difficult and deeply buried tasks. The leaders were Sun Quan and Huang Lian'er.

Sun Quan was responsible for the "word of mouth", and Huang Lian'er was responsible for the "needle on the tail".

And the one who trained them for Lu Bing was Huang Feier Huang Duxian, the grand thief who was famous all over the world for his light kung fu, quick hands shrinking bones, and breaking through doors and locks.

The "needle on the tail" in charge of Sun Quan is responsible for lurking into the target, collecting evidence, inquiring about news, and then passing the information to Jin Yiwei, who will be captured by Jin Yiwei's [-] Tiqi.

Huang Lianer's "needle on the tail" is responsible for getting rid of hard bones, or some targets that are not easy to deal with openly.At the same time, he also specially completed some invisible imperial errands for Lu Bing.

These years, Lu Bing led the Thirteen Taibao smoothly. Although there were some tribulations and setbacks, none of them hurt Lu Bing's bones.

However, people often say that ten fingers connect with hearts...

As Lu Bing's most important finger, Sun Quan was accidentally grabbed.

On October 26th in the [-]th year of Jiajing, the censor Chen Qixue impeached Lu Bing for crimes such as private salt entrustment and independent money law, and ordered a meeting of the household department.

Sun Quan was summoned to the mansion urgently by Lu Bing. Sun Quan knelt on the ground, trembling under Lu Bing's stern and angry eyes.

"What's going on! Dare to take any money!" Lu Bing was furious: "I told you a long time ago that Yantie tea is the lifeblood of Daming, the lifeblood of the emperor! You can't touch it! How dare you get entangled with the Yanzheng?" Together, escort the private salt! You are impatient!"

"Your Excellency... Your Majesty... The villain was careless for a while, and let the officials seize the handle..." Seeing Lu Bing was furious, Sun Quan kowtowed like a onion, and his forehead was covered with blood after a while.

"Do you know! This is a serious crime of beheading!" Lu Bing shouted angrily: "The emperor points to this money to live forever, and if you move it, you will definitely die!"

At this time, Huang Lian'er also rushed over after hearing the news, she was shocked when she heard Lu Bing's words, her tears immediately came down, she jumped up and knelt side by side with Sun Quan, and said: "My lord! My lord! Please save my husband!"

At this time, Mrs. Lu and Huang Duxian also rushed over. Mrs. Lu held Lu Bing back and said, "Wenfu! Don't get angry, ask for more details! Sun Quan is not a greedy child, there must be a reason."

Lu Bing suppressed his anger, sat down, and asked Sun Quan, "What's going on, tell me the ins and outs!"

Sun Quan's face was covered with blood, Huang Lian'er wanted to wipe it for him, but Sun Quan refused to let him get up, knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth but said dejectedly: "My lord... I was tricked!"

……

Yantie tea is consumed by the people of Ming Dynasty every day, and it is also the most important source of money for Ming Dynasty. From the imperial court to the local officials and water transport caravans, everyone wants to make a fortune from it.

However, Lu Bing knew very well that Emperor Jiajing was a man, and he attached great importance to money bags.Therefore, Lu Bing never let Jin Yiwei directly reach out to make money from Yantie Tea.Instead, target groups, families and individuals who benefit from it.

They got money from Yantie Tea, and Jin Yiwei squeezed it out of them!
This is like a line of fire. If it is here, it will be no big deal, but if it is over there, it will be serious!
Sun Quan was too careless this time.

The serious illness of the Ming Dynasty's salt government, tea government and iron government has already been deeply rooted.
