After saying this, Su Ze felt like he was going to be spit out.
But the cliche ones are also the most effective.
Hearing that there was going to be a disaster in his house, Yu Zongyuan immediately trembled.
Just now, he wanted to ask Su Ze for advice on how to curse his brother to death and inherit the Yu family business.
At this moment, Su Ze said that the Yu family was in great danger, so how could Yu Zongyuan not be anxious?
"Brother Su, what kind of disaster is this? Is there a way to avoid it?"
Su Ze still looked calm and said: "The disaster is coming from the north."
At this moment, Yu Zongyuan was startled and looked at Su Ze with reverence.
These days, Yu Zongyuan also noticed his father's anxiety after eating his father's family recipes.
Yu Zongyuan has never seen his father like this since he was a child. He secretly listened to the discussion between his father and his elder brother. He only heard that a censor from the north was coming to join the Qing army in Fujian. Both his father and brother were sent by the censor from the north.
A sad look on his face.
Unexpectedly, Su Ze knew that the disaster was coming from the north as soon as he "calculated". Now Yu Zongyuan was even more convinced of Su Ze's "Tao Xing".
In fact, the matter of Yu Shi Qing's army was also spread in the county, but Yu Zongyuan was deceived and believed that Su Ze had calculated it.
Su Ze squinted his eyes again and said: "This method of avoiding disaster cannot be figured out yet."
"Can't figure it out!?"
Yu Zongyuan stood up, and Su Ze said calmly:
"My Plum Blossom Numbers are based on the principles in the Book of Changes to calculate heavenly secrets. Since we want to calculate, we must first understand the cause and effect."
Su Ze was talking nonsense, but Yu Zongyuan understood what he meant. He thought about it and told the news he knew.
"My father received news from an uncle in the Ministry of War that the imperial court was going to send a censor to the Qing army. Any descendant of a son who committed a crime and was expelled from the army after the Yongle year was not allowed to hold military positions in the imperial court. If he inherited a military position, he would not only have to be dismissed but also have his salary recovered.
.”
Su Ze didn't show much expression. Hai Rui had already told him this information the last time he entered the county.
The whole country was notified through the Di Bao at the beginning of the month. The Yu family is the hereditary commander of the third rank. There must be some relatives and friends in the court, and they should get more news.
Sure enough, Yu Zongyuan continued:
"The person sent by the imperial court to the Qing army in Fujian was Mr. Yan Maoqing, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Su Ze's brows jumped when he heard the words Yan Maoqing.
The surname Yan is not the one in the genealogy that says "the Imperial Envoy Yan patrolled the guards", but this Yan Maoqing is a unique figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
There are rumors alone, not because Yan Maoqing and Yan Yushi have done any great work, but because this guy is a super cool official!
Yan Maoqing attached himself to Yan Song and took charge of the salt administration of the Fourth Salt Transportation Department in the 35th year of Jiajing. He extorted salt merchants, spent thousands of gold every year, tortured and killed innocent people, and the people complained. He extorted Huainan's property, which almost led to a catastrophe.
But because of his ability to make money, Emperor Jiajing not only ignored the censor's impeachment of Yan Maoqing, but also promoted him to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
In the end, Yan Song was overthrown, and Yan Maoqing was liquidated and downgraded, and was sent to guard the border.
It turned out that the man who joined the Qing army in Fujian was such a corrupt official. According to history, Yan Maoqing bribed Yan Song and his son two years later, and then he got the fat job of taking charge of the salt administration of the four provinces. It seems that this money was used to bribe the Yan family and his son.
, I saved it during the Qing army in Fujian!
Now we are in trouble. If it is an ordinary censor, there is another explanation for this matter. If it is a ruthless and corrupt official like Yan Maoqing, then Chang Ning Wei will also be doomed.
It's no wonder that commanders like the Yu family, who have been in command for generations, are worried. It turns out that this guy Yan Maoqing is coming to Fujian.
Yu Zongyuan continued: "This Master Yan has been a Jinshi for twenty years in this dynasty. My uncle from the Ministry of War sent word that Master Yan came to the Qing Army in Fujian through the path of Xiaoge Lao."
Yu Zongyuan sighed. Although he was only the second son of a third-grade military officer, he also knew the "prestige" of Mr. Xiaoge.
Yu Zongyuan once heard that a magistrate who Ding You resigned from office spent thousands of taels of silver on getting a good job when he came back to power, and in the end he didn't even see Mr. Xiaoge in person.
Yu Zongyuan also saw his father's subordinates spend a lot of money to "honor" their father in order to set up cards to "persuade" donations so that they could leave the city.
Just think about it and you will know how much money Yan Maoqing, the censor, spent to get the Qing army, and how much he will be like when he gets to Fujian.
Su Ze still closed his eyes and asked, "How is your family going to deal with it?"
Yu Zongyuan paused for a moment. This was something he overheard the secret discussion between his father and brother, and it was not convenient to tell outsiders.
But thinking about Su Ze's "magnificent powers", Yu Zongyuan decided to speak out. It was also for the good of his family!
Yu Zongyuan said: "My father wants to send his brother to Fuzhou Prefecture. He will first go to Dusi Yamen to inquire about the situation. When Yan Yushi arrives in Fujian, he will definitely go to Dusi Yamen first."
"It's just that my brother already has a military position and is not suitable to leave Nanping County."
The garrison system of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to a garrison military district. Those with military posts were not allowed to leave the garrison station without special official duties.
For example, the duty of the Yanping Guards is to guard the Yanping Mansion, and the commander Yu Jian wanted his eldest son to take over. The eldest son already had a military position and is now the fodder ambassador of the Yanping Guards.
In fact, Commander Yu can just do some official business and send his eldest son to Fuzhou Prefecture for official duties. However, now is the critical moment when the censor of the Qing army is about to take office. Commander Yu is afraid that this matter will leave a trace, so he delays
I dare not send my eldest son out.
Su Ze looked at Yu Zongyuan and said: "Brother Yu, the disaster that will happen to your family will fall on you."
Yu Zongyuan pointed at himself and said, "Me?"
Su Ze nodded and said: "I have already calculated that you are the one who can solve the Yu family's calamity, so you should go to Fuzhou Mansion to help solve the family's problems."
Su Ze looked at Yu Zongyuan and said: "If you can get over this hurdle, your Yu family will naturally have several generations of wealth, and what you want will turn around during this trip to Fuzhou!"
Yu Zongyuan's breathing quickened. Isn't what he wants the family inheritance right?
This Su Ze is really up to his word! He saw what he wanted and pointed out a way to help the family solve the disaster.
Of course, Su Ze didn't know that Yu Zongyuan wanted to fight for the inheritance rights. He just used his "fortune-telling" skills to deceive Yu Zongyuan.
Yan Maoqing's first stop when he arrived in Fujian was definitely Fuzhou Prefecture, and he tricked Yu Zongyuan into seeking information in order to get first-hand information.
The Changning Guard does not have the same resources as the Yanping Guard, so they can find ways to manage the censors.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. You must first understand Yan Maoqing's temperament, temperament, and work style, so that you can prescribe the right medicine.
Yu Zongyuan quickly filled up the wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Su! This time when I come back after everything has been done, Yu will have a banquet to thank Brother Su!"
After saying that, Yu Zongyuan took out a bag of tips and money, put it into Su Ze's hand, and immediately went downstairs and hurried back home.
Su Ze opened the kit, and inside it was a piece of silver weighing twenty taels. Su Ze couldn't help but sigh that this second young master was really a good tool for a fool and a lot of money!
