The exquisite attic is elegantly furnished, with vermilion blankets covering the interior, and many famous people's handwritings copied on the pillars. Although the attic is small, it is elegant, which shows that Wen Laishun put a lot of effort into this attic. Qin Yinmiao
Miao, listening to it, felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body. Wen Laishun narrowed his eyes gently, enjoying the otherworldly fairy sound. After a long time, he took steps up the steps.
In the elegant room, a woman is playing the piano with her slender hands. She is wearing a pale pink gauze skirt, which sets off her exquisite figure. Her skin is like snow, her eyes are bright, and with her charming face, her whole person exudes a sense of beauty.
Inexplicable affinity. Wen Laishun watched quietly, with a bit of obsession in his eyes. Even though he had seen it countless times, he still couldn't resist the temptation and would always indulge in it.
Wen Laishun entered the palace as a child. When the late emperor was in power, he was sent to the outside world and stayed there for many years. Since he had lost his life since he was a child, Wen Laishun only pursued gold and silver. This was also the reason why he and Zhejiang officialdom
The root cause of complicity in deceiving the emperor. I thought that this would be the end of my life, make some money, enjoy life, and have a godson when I get old. If the godson is filial, he will hand over the family property to him. Wen Laishun's plan,
It is also the common life of many eunuchs.
However, Lai Shun never expected that one day, his life would change. On that day, he followed several merchants under him to take a boat ride to the West Lake to enjoy the scenery. He will never forget that a woman appeared on the bank of Su Di Lake.
The delicate hands caressed the strings, bringing everyone into a magnificent state. At that moment, Wen Laishun's heart, which had been silent for many years, actually moved. It didn't just move, but beat loudly. Wen Laishun always felt that
My heart should have died. How could a eunuch be moved by his heart? But it just happened and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Later, after a lot of twists and turns, I found out the woman's name.
Her name was Yun Ya. She was born in Fengxin Pavilion by the Qinhuai River and learned good piano skills. At that time, Yun Ya was performing in Hangzhou with the Fengxin Pavilion team and was accidentally bumped into by Wen Laishun and others. Wen Laishun was just a little
Wen Laishun tried his best to keep Yunya in Hangzhou and arranged Yunya in this elegant little courtyard. Wen Laishun knew that he was powerless, but he still couldn't help but keep Yunya by his side, even if it was just to see him
Look, I am also happy in my heart.
After the song ended, the maid next to her reminded her. Yunya raised her head and saw Wen Laishun arriving. She quickly stood up, gave a blessing, and said softly: "Master Wen, when did you come? Stop standing there."
Come on, sit down quickly..."
Yun Ya walked over gently and offered a hand. Wen Laishun quickly waved his hand and consciously found a chair to sit down. The maid brought him some tea, and he took a small peck, trying to be kinder and asked:
"Is Miss Yun still getting used to living there? If you need anything, you can just ask the servants. When you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Recently, the lakeside is full of flowers and the scenery is very beautiful."
"Master Wen was joking. Master Meng Wen took such good care of him, and Yunya couldn't help feeling sorry for it. When there was nothing to do, the Nu family also went out for a walk. Not to mention, more and more people came to the West Lake to play recently, unlike in the past.
It’s peaceful now.”
Yun Ya smiled sweetly, and her voice became more and more comforting. In the small attic, the two of them were like a pair of friends, and also like a pair of lovers. They chatted for a long time. In the evening, they had a pot of wine and Wen Laishun
The more he talked, the happier he became, and he talked about almost anything. In Wen Laishun's position, and as a eunuch, he was somewhat closed-minded, and rarely talked about his concerns to outsiders. But when it came to Yun Ya, he didn't feel taboo at all.
None. After talking a lot, I don’t know when, the whole person lay on the table and fell asleep. The moon crawled out from the clouds, and through the window, the bright moonlight shone in the room, adding a bit of enchantment.
Yunya called the maid and helped Wen Laishun get on the bed. Yunya seemed to have been used to this for a long time. Wen Laishun was thoughtful but did not act recklessly, and Yunya pretended not to know, and the two of them talked about it.
Treating her like this with her heart in mind. At least Wen Laishun was really nice to her.
The elegant and exquisite small courtyard returned to calm, and the soft moonlight shrouded the entire city of Hangzhou. At this time, there were people like Yun Ya who were sleepless late at night. Hai Lanzhu lived in a white building not far from the West Lake. In the dead of night, people pushed away
Outside the window, the breeze carried a hint of coolness. Looking at the courtyard in the distance that few people paid attention to, Dai Mei frowned slightly. Yunya had her own worries, and Hai Lanzhu also had her own worries.
Hai Lanzhu never thought that she could monopolize Tie Mo, nor did she ever think of pampering the back house, but she didn't want other women to stand over her. Chang Minyue couldn't do it, and Xu Meiling couldn't do it even more. However,
As time went by, she was really under great pressure, for no other reason than that Chang Minyue, Xu Meiling and Aqige all had powerful forces behind them, and their forces played their respective roles. Only she, Hai Lanzhu,
It seems that everything is based on Tie Mo's favor. I really hope that the Horqin Ministry will make a decision quickly, but for some reason, there has been no news from Father Khan.
Horqin can't rely on him for the time being, so he can only rely on himself. Hailanzhu is particularly concerned about the Hangzhou matter, because she knows that if she cannot seize the opportunity in this matter, then everything in the back house will be affected.
The right to speak is really about to fall away. Even if Tie Mo dotes on her Hai Lanzhu again, he can't interfere in this matter.
In Zhejiang, the East China Sea Trading Company was established, and the Royal Navy was stationed in Hangzhou. Du Fushan and Tie Mo reached an agreement, each making concessions and reaping the benefits. It seemed that everything was calm, but in fact hidden dangers were still buried deep within Zhejiang.
Zhejiang's officialdom is only on the surface. It is not these officials who really lead the future direction of Zhejiang, but the thousands of Zhejiang businessmen. As long as these people have other thoughts, they can push Zhejiang's officialdom at any time as long as they have the opportunity.
Turn the East China Sea Trading Company upside down.
The truly terrifying power in Zhejiang comes from the tens of thousands of merchants and gentry at the bottom. For hundreds of years, these people have radiated their influence to all aspects through continuous operations in Beijing. If the officialdom is regarded as a world, then Zhejiang is a comparison.
The officialdom is more complicated. The people here in Zhejiang are really very energetic, especially when it comes to maritime trade. If you really don’t have the support of Zhejiang businessmen, it will be really difficult. Precisely because of knowing this, even if Zheng Zhilong dominates
Regarding the East China Sea, if there is any matter, we should discuss it carefully with Zhejiang. Because Zheng Zhilong understands that as long as Zhejiang people are not willing, he, Zheng Zhilong, can only fish and eat at sea every year.
It is unrealistic for Donghai Trading Company to leave Zhejiang merchants aside, and it will also leave hidden dangers for the future. Therefore, Tie Mo wants to take action against Zhejiang merchants, and this matter can only be done by Hai Lanzhu and others.
Hai Lanzhu had discussed this matter with Chang Minyue and Xu Meiling, and whoever could make a breakthrough on this matter first would have the right to speak.
This is no longer a simple official matter, it is really related to her future status. The pressure on Hai Lanzhu can be imagined. In terms of influence in the shopping mall, she is not as good as Chang Minyue, and in terms of understanding of sea trade, she is even worse than Chang Minyue.
Xu Meiling was born in the sea. Fortunately, she still had someone to rely on, and that was Tie Mo. Although Tie Mo didn't help anyone on the surface, in fact, he was already helping.
Because of that favor, Hai Lanzhu knew many little secrets that Chang Minyue didn't know, one of which was about Wen Laishun. Zhejiang Sansi Yamen seemed to be aloof, with Du Fushan, Wu Xin, Bai Xuan and Weng Tongming among others.
They all seem to be more powerful than Wen Laishun, but in fact, the person who really controls the relationship between all parties and controls the lifeblood of Zhejiang is the most inconspicuous guard eunuch Wen Laishun.
Because Wen Laishun was an eunuch, many things were meaningless to him, so he was greedy for money and thought of various ways to be greedy for money. This also led to his closest contact with Zhejiang businessmen. The way money comes from Zhejiang is the way businessmen operate.
, almost no one Wen Laishun didn't know about what those merchants had. Therefore, these local snakes in Zhejiang dared to do anything to Du Fu, but they did not dare to offend the eunuch Wen Laishun.
If Wen Laishun can make these local snakes in Zhejiang obey and fear him, he must have a trump card in his hand. As long as he gets this trump card, he can quickly attract a group of these local snakes. Of course, after getting the trump card, Wen Laishun will
There is no need to exist anymore. The difficulty in this matter is how to move Wen Laishun. To make Wen Laishun die, the Sansi Yamen has to be left speechless.
Hai Lanzhu stared at Wen Laishun, but Chang Minyue and Xu Meiling naturally had their own ideas. The three women were secretly wrestling with each other in the city of Hangzhou, and Du Fushan and others were also vaguely aware of all this.
I noticed something. However, Du Fushan did nothing. At this time, doing too much may not be a good thing. To put it bluntly, it is related to the interests of Zhejiang shopping malls. If the Sansi Yamen interferes too much, those people may not be happy.
The incident at Qionghua Villa has alerted the Sansi Yamen and also sounded a wake-up call to Zhejiang shopping malls. The same mistake will not be made a second time in Zhejiang, so even if the three women are tossing, what can they achieve?
Result?
In the Hangzhou Prefecture Yamen, the prefect Xie Zhi, who should have been enjoying the spring breeze, has lost his smile in the past two days, and his face has become gloomy day by day, as if someone cheated him of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Not only Xie Zhi, but also officials at all levels in the Prefecture Yamen and the arrestees.
All of them had gloomy faces. A big event happened in Hangzhou recently. A hunter accidentally passed by the willow forest in the south of the city and discovered a pit dug by wild dogs. After digging the pit, thirty-two people were buried in it.
There were corpses of boys. Most of these boys were eleven or twelve years old. The cause of death was all due to suffocation, but there were no other external injuries.
The case was kept secret at first, but then someone didn't know who was talking and yelled out. At this time, the city of Hangzhou exploded, especially those families whose children were missing. They all found the prefect's Yamen and made a fuss.
The government wants to catch the real culprit. But is Zhenxiong so easy to catch? Until now, the prefect's government has not found any useful clues.
Xie Zhi was under great pressure and had no choice but to report the case to the Zhejiang Procuratorate. Wu Xin, as the Procuratorate, had no reason to shirk when faced with such a big case, so he could only be dragged into the pirate ship by Xie Zhi. Unfortunately, although Wu Xin was a scholar and a rich man,
, but knew nothing about the criminal name, and the officials under him worked hard for two days, but they also had no clues.
Xie Zhi sat in the lobby for a while, thought about it, asked someone to find a carriage, secretly got on the carriage through the back door, and rushed all the way to Yanchasi Yamen. When Xie Zhi arrived, Wu Xin happened to be there. As soon as they met, Xie Zhi
Then he complained with a frown on his face: "Master Wu, Liu Lin's case needs a lot of effort from the prosecutor's office. The sufferer has been surrounding the magistrate's office every day, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in two days. Master Wu, this matter
If it gets too big, it won't do us any good."
Speaking later, Xie Zhi was already vaguely threatening. Because of the Iron Superintendent, all the officials in Zhejiang were waiting to see Xie Zhi's excitement. He also knew that Wu Xin might not handle the case sincerely, but this
If the matter was not handled well, he thanked someone for not minding dragging Wu Xin into the water. With such a big case, what would Wu Xin, the prosecutor, want to do alone?
Wu Xin frowned and turned away with some displeasure, "Mr.
, I will definitely investigate the case personally."
Xie Zhi curled his lips noncommittally, what he said was beautiful, but things were not done well. Anyway, the two parties belong to different factions, and the relationship is obvious, so there is no need to have too many scruples. As long as Wu Xin understands the current situation
situation, that is enough. In short, if this case is not clear, Wu Xin will not have an easy time. He has no other ability to thank someone, but he still has the ability to lure Wu Xin into trouble.
Liu Lin's case has made a lot of noise recently and attracted the attention of many people.
Wu Xin was forced by Xie Zhi, but in the end he could only endure it. As Xie Zhi said, if this matter is not handled well, Xie Zhi will be unlucky, and Wu Xin will also be unlucky. Tie Mo is watching from the side,
If the matter is not handled properly and the higher authorities are accountable, can you only punish Xie Zhi and not pursue the case?
After sitting and thinking for a long time, Wu Xin called his subordinates in and said sternly: "I will give you three days. No matter what, you can find clues for me. Otherwise, you will all be fined two months' salary."
As soon as these words came out, everyone below changed their expressions. They said it was a fine, but everyone understood that if there was really no progress, it would definitely not be as simple as a fine.
The Zhejiang Procuratorate was busy, the prefect's yamen was also busy, and Hai Lanzhu was also busy. At this time, Hai Lanzhu held a letter in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The letter recorded a secret message about Wen Laishun. Recently, Wen Laishun always went to Xianghufang in Xicheng. Xianghufang has a nice name, but it is a famous poor area in Hangzhou. Why did Wen Laishun go there?
?
The person who wrote the letter didn't know the situation, so Hai Lanzhu could only investigate what happened next.
However, Hai Lanzhu had a feeling in his heart that the situation would be broken soon.
