Similarly, after listening to Weng Tongming's words, Bai Xuan suddenly understood everything. The importance of Qionghua Villa is self-evident. For Zhejiang Sansi Yamen, this place is equivalent to the lifeblood, so all this time,
Qionghua Villa is well hidden, and few people know that Qionghua Villa hides such a big secret. Now that something happened at Qionghua Villa, Bai Xuan feels a little helpless.
Just after he was arrested, something happened at Qionghua Villa. Now he couldn't clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Thinking about what happened to Cao Wenzhao before, this was obviously a conspiracy. Bai Xuan did not answer immediately
, but thought about it carefully. He had to figure out what to say and what not to say. He was already under suspicion. If he told the truth about what happened before, wouldn't that confirm his identity as a traitor?
?
After thinking for a while, Bai Xuan raised his head and said in a stiff tone: "Everyone, do you think this matter has something to do with Mr. Bai? Did Mr. Bai reveal the news? Mr. Du... you think so too?
"
Bai Xuan set his sights on Du Fushan. If others were suspicious, it would be understandable, but Du Fushan shouldn't be suspicious. After so many years, everyone knew the basics. If even Du Fushan had suspicions, then it was true.
It's so disappointing. After being detained for only two days and being suspected by others, how can I bear it? Bai Xuan did not answer directly, but asked about Du Fushan. Du Fushan frowned and said lightly:
"General Bai, it doesn't matter what Du thinks. What matters is what the facts are. Since everyone wants to hear your explanation, please explain it to avoid any misunderstanding."
Bai Xuan's heart suddenly sank. Du Fushan's words sounded impartial and reasonable, but in fact he had made his attitude clear. At this moment, Bai Xuan was really disappointed. Sure enough, in the face of interests, no matter how deep the friendship was, it would
I'm shaken. I'm angry, but the necessary explanations must continue. Otherwise, if the misunderstanding continues, it will make someone's life in Zhejiang difficult.
"Since everyone wants to know so much, let's not hide it. Cao Wenzhao wanted to find Bai because of the previous rogue raids in Zhejiang. Haining County was in ruins and the people were in ruins. The same was true for Lin'an and other places. Cao Wen
The imperial edict was ordered by Tie Mo to attack Hangzhou through Bai. He wanted to extend his hand to Zhejiang. Naturally, Bai would not cooperate with him. As the commander of the capital of Zhejiang, Bai
The person surnamed Cao has no real evidence, so how can he detain Bai for a long time? In this way, everyone should understand, right?" Bai Xuan stood up and cupped his hands with a cold expression, "The matter of Qionghua Villa, Bai really doesn't matter.
We don’t know anything about it. As for how the news was revealed, we have to investigate carefully. In short, there is no basis and we are just relying on speculation to put the responsibility on Mr. Bai. It is wishful thinking."
Wu Xin was familiar with Bai Xuan, and when he saw Bai Xuan acting like this, he hurriedly walked away, stood up and raised his hand and said, "General Bai, there is no need to be angry. Everyone is impatient and did not say that the matter must have something to do with you. He who is righteous will be righteous himself."
Those who are turbulent will be turbulent. If the matter has nothing to do with General Bai, then there is no need to worry too much. Mr. Du is aware of everything and will never wrong anyone."
Wen Laishun's heart froze, he glanced at Wu Xin with a complicated look, and murmured in a neutral tone: "The words are nice, but if it really has nothing to do with him, how could things be so coincidental? Mr. Wu, even good people ask you to do it.
Now, let’s be the bad guys.”
Wu Xin frowned. Although Wen Laishun could lower his voice, it still really fell into everyone's ears. Wu Xin was unhappy, and Bai Xuan was even more so. Bai Xuan usually couldn't stand Wen Laishun.
This eunuch suddenly became furious when he heard the other party's strange words today, "You are neither a man nor a woman. There is no need to hide it. If you have the ability, say it again. I can handle it. Qionghua Villa is an property in your name.
I also said that you accidentally revealed the news..."
Wen Laishun has been a child for a long time, and it is the most taboo in his life for anyone to mention this matter. Bai Xuan is fine, but he just says that he is neither a man nor a woman. Isn't this just adding salt to other people's wounds? Now, where is Wen Laishun?
Unable to bear it, he stood up, glared, pinched the drake's throat and roared: "Bai Xuan, don't rant, our family has been guarding the villa for so many years and nothing has happened, but after you were taken away
Something happened. Humph, if I don’t doubt you, how can I doubt our family?”
"Fart, if you want to say that Bai has something to do with you, then everyone in this room is also suspicious today. Why should you blame Bai for everything?" Bai Xuan put Wen Laishun aside, faced Du Fushan, and said with dissatisfaction.
"Master Du, if you think about it carefully, Cao Wenzhao copied Qionghua Villa, did it benefit Bai at all? But this eunuch, who usually takes cards and intercepts them secretly, has secretly obtained many things. Now the accounts have been stolen.
Search, no one knows how many things he took away before."
After that, Bai Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Wen Laishun. If his finger could turn into a long sword, he would definitely be able to stab several holes in Wen Laishun's chest. Wen Laishun looked at Bai Xuan's carrots.
He pointed out that the real person just felt the blood rushing to his forehead, rolled up his sleeves, jumped up and cursed: "Bai Xuan, you bad man, how dare you slander our family like this, we will fight with you."
Bai Xuan was happy. When it came to fighting, the five Wen Laishuns were no match. Zheng was worried that he had no chance to beat this eunuch. "Hey, they are all blocked. Let this bitch come over and I will beat the shit out of you."
..."
For a moment, the entire hall was like a noisy vegetable market. Du Fushan, who was sitting at the head seat, had a wrinkle on his forehead. He moved his brows and patted the table next to him, "That's enough. What are you doing? Treating my yamen as a vegetable market."
Okay? Okay, let’s stop the discussion here today. Everyone, please go back and let me think about it carefully.”
Du Fushan, as the chief envoy of Zhejiang, has been very prestigious for many years. When he got angry, everyone below him shut up. Even Wen Laishun could only groan. Everyone bowed their hands and left, and they
He was also afraid of angering Du Fushan again. After everyone left, Du Fushan did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he asked the servant to bring him a few cups of tea and drank it slowly. The servant was surprised at first, since there was only Mr. Du in the hall, why did he do it?
Several cups of tea were prepared. After only a moment of burning incense, the servant understood everything when he saw Wu Xin and Weng Tongming returning.
Wu Xin and Weng Tongming entered the room, each holding tea to moisten their throats. They had been arguing for so long, but no water came in. Du Fushan's expression became serious. He looked at Wu Xin and said seriously:
"Bai Xuan, everyone has seen it, what do you think?"
Wu Xin and Weng Tongming looked at each other and hesitated for a while. It was Weng Tongming who spoke first, "Most of them were speculations and suspicions before, but General Bai's words and deeds almost confirmed that our guesses were correct. General Bai just couldn't stop talking.
Untrue, most of them are not true. According to the latest news our people got, General Bai did not suffer at all from Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Wenzhao treated him with great courtesy. I heard that General Bai can be safe
It was Cao Wenzhao who let him come back. If everything is true, I will never believe it if there is no deal between General Bai and Cao Wenzhao."
Wu Xin relied on Weng Tongming's words and said with a helpless smile: "What Mr. Weng said makes sense. It seems that General Bai has a big problem. However, there is no concrete evidence for anything now. What should be done next?
Just be cautious."
Weng Tongming snorted secretly and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Is there any conclusive evidence for this kind of thing? Be cautious? Just do nothing? Bai Xuan's identity is too sensitive. As the commander of the capital,
, is involved in almost everything in Zhejiang affairs. If he has a problem, then the entire Zhejiang officialdom will have to suffer a magnitude 3 earthquake. Therefore, to be on the safe side, we must make preparations as early as possible and wait until there is conclusive evidence before reacting. What?
It's too late.
He already had an idea in mind, but Weng Tongming didn't say much. Du Fushan had to make up his mind on these matters. Du Fushan held the tea cup and sipped the tea carefully, but his brows were furrowed, and he was hesitating after thinking about it. I don't know how long it took,
Du Fushan raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, putting great pressure on people, "We must make preparations in advance. Let's do this. Let's cancel the Qi family's share of the Salt Transportation Department first, and the Huang family's quota will be cancelled."
The shore is taken back. On the treasury side, Lin Zexian and others should stop using it for the time being. Externally, they should say that the Chief Secretary has limited finances and needs to cut expenses. The business on the sea trade side should also be stopped for now."
With just a few words, Du Fushan almost issued a verdict. This arrangement almost kicked Bai Xuan out of the circle of interests in Zhejiang. From now on, Bai Xuan will just be a commander in chief. If he wants to interfere in other things in Zhejiang, it will almost be
It's impossible.
Wu Xin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't help but said: "Master Du, is it too early to do this? General Bai will probably be very unhappy when he notices these changes...
..."
Du Fushan sighed and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, do you think I have any other good ideas? As Mr. Weng said, General Bai's influence in Zhejiang is too great. Almost everything we have done before
Bypass him. Once he has a problem, you and I both know what the consequences will be. I have no choice. Until the situation becomes clear, we can only prepare for the worst."
Wu Xin also knew that what Du Fushan said was reasonable, but if he did this, Bai Xuan would have problems even if he had no problems. Can anyone who has worked hard for so many years be suddenly pushed out of Zhejiang's interest circle bear it?
It was somewhat inappropriate, but since Du Fushan and Weng Tongming both agreed to it, Wu Xin had no choice but to accept it.
The next two days in Hangzhou were peaceful and uneventful, but in this calm atmosphere, there was an undercurrent. Without any warning, the Salt Transportation Department suddenly announced that the former Zhejiang salt merchant Qi's family
The salt merchant's share was cancelled, and the Qi family will no longer have the right to purchase the salt bank next year. Immediately afterwards, the salt merchant Huang family's salt bank was forcibly taken back, although the Salt Transportation Department returned the 230 yuan spent by the Huang family to purchase the salt bank this year.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, but for the Huang family, this is an unforeseen disaster. The bank in hand is the bank of Zhejiang. As a prosperous place in the world, if you hold the bank here and sell official salt in Zhejiang, the annual dividends will be more than
Two million three hundred thousand taels of silver?
If this is just the beginning, then the former treasury manager Lin Zexian will be dismissed, making the water even more muddy. The people of Hangzhou cannot see the doorway inside, but the Zhejiang officials understand it very well.
The Qi family and the Huang family both have close interests with Bai Xuan, and Lin Zexian is Bai Xuan's eyes in the treasury, and can be regarded as the most trusted person by Bai Xuan. Now the Qi family, the Huang family and Lin Zexian have successively
Being excluded from the circle of interests means that the conflict between the Chief Secretary and the Metropolitan Command Department has become obvious.
In the past, because of the rogue bandits causing trouble in Zhejiang, Bai Xuan, the commander, and Du Fushan, the inspector, had some dissatisfaction, but no one could have imagined that this conflict would intensify until it reaches this point today. Everything has been made clear, hey, Zhejiang, Shan
The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building.
In the Bai family, everyone in the house was silent. There were constant banging sounds in the living room, and Bai Xuan's shouts and curses could be heard from time to time. No one dared to come forward to persuade, and no one dared to ask, even if the family members
At this time, Mrs. Wei could only hide and watch from a distance. Everyone knew about the big event, and what happened in Hangzhou City was not a big secret. You could find out with a little inquiry.
In the living room, Lin Zexian stood aside with his body bent, letting Bai Xuan smash the things on the table to pieces. When Bai Xuan stopped, he whispered: "General Bai, the people we arranged for in other places have also been driven away.
Come out, the Qi family, and the Huang family are waiting outside. According to Chasi, the action was too fast, and we were not prepared at all. The Qi family was okay, and they still had some stock, but the lead bank in the Huang family's hands was forced
If you take it back, they will all point to you to make the decision for them."
Lin Zexian knew very well that if General Bai could not handle these matters well, the circle of interests that had formed around the Bai family would immediately disintegrate. Man-made wealth dies and birds die for food. Those who can attach themselves to the Bai family are
They are interested in Bai Xuan's influence. If Bai Xuan's words have no effect at all, then what reason do they have to rely on the Bai family?
"Du Fushan...is really a smiling tiger. He said he was fine before, but now he is like this. Okay, it's really good. You can take people to the dock and get the goods from there.
Now that they have broken up with each other, we don’t have to save face for them. Whatever benefits they take from us, we will take them back from elsewhere."
Looking at Bai Xuan, who was secretly jealous, Lin Zexian smiled bitterly and said: "Dong Weng, I just got the news that they stopped things at the dock, and now the goods are not there..."
"Huh?" Bai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then slumped in the chair with some weakness. At this moment, he felt how insignificant he was as a commander. Facing the huge Zhejiang officialdom system, when he was abandoned,
He was so helpless that he couldn't even fight back.
