Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 245
After hearing what Lao Hu said, He Liu stayed up all night.

In the early morning, he made up his mind: that's all, let's take one step at a time.The top priority right now is to investigate Wu Shujian, governor of Beizhili.Anyway, Wu Shujian was a damned corrupt official, and he was investigated not only for his own business in front of the emperor and King Yu, but also for the people of the northern Zhili province.

He Liu and Lao Hu finished their breakfast and went to Beizhen Fusi one after the other.

Lao Hu complained to He Liudao: "Lao Liu, have you noticed that you have changed? Three years ago, when you went to Beizhen Fusi in the morning, you always took small steps lazily. Now you take big steps."

He Liu smiled: "Maybe it's because you're getting older and walking slowly that you think I'm fast?"

Old Hu said: "I'll let you fart. That's fine, if you are in a hurry, go first. I have to move there slowly."

He Liu smiled and said, "Then I'll go first! Anyway, your apprentice Liu Da lost power, and no one will scold you for being the last one."

As soon as He Liu arrived at Fusi in Beizhen, Li Bofeng greeted him.

Li Bofeng bowed his hands towards He Liu courteously: "This subordinate pays homage to Master Liu."

He Liu was surprised and said, "You came quite early."

Li Bofeng's answer was impeccable: "The sixth master values ​​his subordinates so much, and his subordinates dare not slack off."

In fact, Li Bofeng can be regarded as He Liu's savior.Back then on Puro Island, if he, the General of Puro Island, hadn't made a timely move, maybe He Liu would have died in Xu Hai's hands.

But when he returned to the capital, He Liu suddenly found that he had become less and less fond of Li Bofeng.Li Bofeng was very attentive to him.But He Liu always felt that this kind of attentiveness was deliberate and fake.

He Liujin went to Beizhen Fusi.He first found the Beisi management file Qianhu Wangba.

Wang Ba, 39 years old.His real name is Wang Bairun.He is short of water in the five elements. Originally, his parents named him "Bairun" to make up for the water in his life.

Wang Bairun was originally the book office of Shuntian Mansion.His poems are average, and stereotyped essays are average, but he has a photographic memory.At the beginning, Lu Bing took a fancy to him and brought him into Jinyiwei to manage the stalls.

Wang Bairun was very unlucky, when the old eighth of the Taibao master retired and returned to his hometown, he took over the seat of the old eighth, and became the bastard of the thirteen Taibao.

He himself didn't take it seriously, and often joked with others when he was fine: "You motherfucker. I was short of water in the five elements, and I was even more short of water when I became a bastard."

Wang Ba has one eye and ten lines, and he never forgets what he does.Therefore, except for the secret files of the Tianzihao stall, he has no right to access, and almost all other secret files are stored in his mind.Because of this, he has the nickname of "living stall".

He Liu found Wang Ba and asked, "Old Ba, Wu Shujian, the governor of Beizhili, has a son named Wu Qing. Do you have his file here? Show me."

Zhang Juzheng said that Wu Shujian was impeccable in his work.He Liu thought: Father and son are one body, if there is no gap in the father, he will find the crime on the son.Yan Song lost his position as Chief Assistant, isn't it because of his son Yan Shifan's death?

Wang Ba pointed to the archives of the 29 rooms outside the window, and said, "Sixth brother, the governor of Beizhili is from the rank of the governor, and he is the second-rank official. The eldest son of the second-rank official, Ya Nei, our Jinyiwei must have a backup file. But Wu Qing's The backup file is placed in the third row of No. 30, the third stall of the T-size C. It’s too much trouble to find it. Why don’t I recite it to you?”

He Liu was surprised and said, "If I just say anyone, you can recite his file?"

Wang Ba smiled and said: "My sixth brother, my old eight eats this bowl of rice."

Wang Ba closed his eyes.In his mind, there seemed to be 29 archives.He imagined that he came to the third stall of the T-shaped building, moved up a ladder, and got a stack of files in the sixth floor of the 33rd row.Do a search. . .

"Yes!" Wang Ba opened his eyes and said.

He Liu asked: "What's the matter?"

Wang Ba talked eloquently: "Wu Qing, the son of Wu Shujian, the governor of Beizhili. He was born in Jiajing 20 years ago, and his tooth age is 22. He has a shrewd mind. Wu Qing has a total of 34 companies under his name. They deal in silk, tea, wood, and cloth. , wine, food, vinegar and many other businesses. Wu Qing likes to gamble, but he is different from the ordinary dandy who likes to gamble and lose money. He is good at calculating, winning more and losing less. Ben came to the gambling house in Fuyun, the capital city, and left in the early morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month with 38 taels of cash."

He Liu interrupted Wang Ba: "Wait a minute, Lao Ba. This guy actually won a whole 80 taels overnight with 9000 taels of silver? What is he playing? Ma Hang? Tianjiu? Dice?"

Wang Badao: "It's not mentioned in the file. In short, it's right that he is good at calculation."

He Liu nodded: "Go on."

Wang Ba continued: "For the 34 companies under his name, he only spends three days a month to check the accounts. The other 27 days are spent eating, drinking and having fun. But even though drinking flowers and wine and watching operas, he has never relied on power to force Women submit."

He Liudao: "So, this guy is still a law-abiding person."

Wang Ba nodded: "That's right! He often tells his subordinates, 'Don't do anything and don't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The laws of the Ming Dynasty are as great as the sky.'"

He Liu gasped, and thought to himself: Like a father, like a son.Wu Shujian was meticulous in his work, so Wu Qing could be considered cautious in his work.

Wang Ba said again: "Brother Six, it's time to turn the page."

Wang Ba has his own set of memory methods.Lines are separated like mountains, He Liu, the family confiscator, naturally doesn't understand the means of "living housing" in front of him, so he asked at a loss: "What page do you turn?"

Wang Ba didn't answer, but was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yes! It is recorded on the second page that his wife is Ji Lan, the daughter of Ji Chunhui, the prefect of Baoding. They have a harmonious relationship and have a son."

He Liu once heard Zhang Juzheng say that Ji Chunhui got the prefect seat back then through Wu Shujian's network.Ji Chunhui became the magistrate of Baoding, and backhandedly made Wu Qing's grain store earn 12 taels of silver.It seems that in addition to 12 silver, Ji Chunhui also gave Wu Qing his daughter.

He Liu asked, "Is this Ji Lan Wu Qing's concubine or his wife?"

Wang Ba replied: "It's Wu Qing's wife. Wu Qing and Ji Lan have a very good relationship, and they don't take concubines."

Wang Ba suddenly said: "Sixth brother. I'm really jealous of this Wu Qing. Not to mention he was born rich and honored, God also gave him a good mind. There is a beautiful wife and young son at home, and there is a governor of Beizhili outside. Father, he holds more than 30 commercial firms that are making money every day. My God, even if you exchange him with a third-rank and second-rank official in such a chic and comfortable life, he won't change it."

He Liu smiled and said, "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. This Wu Qing is most likely to be happy in life."

Wang Ba suddenly opened his eyes: "Brother Six, he only has so many backup files."

He Liu patted Wang Ba on the shoulder: "Old Ba, your ability is indeed well-deserved."

Wang Ba said humbly: "Sixth brother, if you search the house, you can do it, but I can't; for the record, I can do it, but you can't. It's just that the lines are separated like mountains."
