Based on Li Rufeng's understanding of the dignitaries, the possibility of them taking a coastal liner is very small. After all, the sea is too bumpy and there are too many unknown dangers for them. A stable inland river ship is the first choice.
It can be speculated that his purpose is nothing more than two things: first, he has plans to go to other places during the year; second, he is ready to run away at any time.
In today's escort bureaus, the most important project is to stay in the hotel and protect the courtyard. It is very clear to the way of thinking of the dignitaries. Most of these prestigious bookings need to be purchased by businessmen who travel frequently. There is no need to buy tickets when traveling by boat.
, you can travel directly to the pier to exchange your ticket. If you cannot travel on the same day, Qiwei can also arrange food and accommodation.
Nobles and dignitaries don't have to rush for time. They can plan and prepare for anything they do several months in advance. Most of them wait until before departure to buy the ferry tickets and travel as scheduled.
It seems that the second option is the most likely.
However, whether it was Eunuch Yang himself or Yang Tianliang, although they could not call the shots in the palace, they lived a comfortable life and earned tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. Although the world of the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, it would not change for a while.
It may not necessarily lead to destruction. Why did he get such a ferry ticket and prepare to run away?
only……
Li Rufeng's eyes were bright, and he felt that the haze for many days had finally revealed a crack. He could see the sunshine.
He suddenly asked: "Master Huang Wu! You just said that there was already a grudge between Master Yang and his disciples. I wonder what their relationship is like now?"
Huang Qi smiled slyly and said, "It's hard to explain in just one sentence."
"Why is it so hard to explain in one sentence?"
"I worked as an errand in the East Factory for a long time, and under the orders of the governor, I also monitored the affairs of these eunuchs outside the palace. I know something about the master and apprentice." He said, smacking his lower lip.
Li Rufeng said: "Come here, refill Huang Wuye's tea!"
A cup of mellow-smelling tea was delivered. Huang Qi twitched his nose and said, "It smells so good! The best imperial tea with fragrant tea! Li Biao is very capable!"
After a comfortable cup of tea, Huang Qi talked about the past events of Eunuch Yang and his son.
Eunuch Yang himself was the apprentice of the powerful eunuch of the inner court of the Wanli Dynasty, so the Wanli Dynasty was very popular in the palace. Yang Tianliang entered the palace at the end of Wanli Dynasty, and he could be regarded as enjoying some benefits of being a godfather. However, after Jiu Qian was in power, Eunuch Yang's status changed.
He was in a precarious situation, and he managed to maintain his position by desperately trying to flatter him and bribe him with large sums of money. However, he failed to achieve his goals in the palace and had to take a temporary job.
Yang Tianliang was naturally implicated by his master and could not make a name for himself in the palace.
"... He was still young at that time and did not dare to show his resentment to his master. Besides, he knew that if he accepted Eunuch Yang as his godfather, it would mean that he would live and die together. Even if he wanted to change his family, others would not look at him.
Go up. So the father and son are united as one, suffering in the palace, hoping for a turn of events..."
Eunuch Yang was trying every possible means to flatter and cling to the eunuch group, hoping that Tu could get involved. However, his master had not dealt with Jiu Qiansui at first, so he spent a lot of money and could only keep himself safe. He had watched his godfather for many years.
When his savings were about to run out, Yang Tianliang began to have objections.
"... He told Eunuch Yang that instead of using the money like this, without even seeing a splash, it would be better to leave the palace temporarily to avoid it. No matter how the situation of the court changes in the future, at least with the money in hand, he can always settle down."
"That's quite right."
"Haha, if we look at it, there is nothing wrong with it. But Eunuch Yang is already old. When people are old, they are most suspicious of money. Little Eunuch Yang's words immediately aroused his suspicion. Although he didn't say anything,
But since then there has been a gap between the two."
Yang Tianliang is not a fool. Ever since he saw that his master was suspicious of him, he also started to make plans for himself, recruiting people privately and doing business outside. Originally, he was just "making a profit", but since then he has wanted to start a new business.
.
"... Mr. Li probably knows that during the Nine Thousand Years' Era, local officials from all over the country were competing to build shrines."
"There is such a thing."
"Eunuch Yang specially sent Yang Tianliang to Guangzhou to handle this matter in order to cling to him. Later, for some reason, the matter suddenly stopped and nothing was done. However, the Gao family, a wealthy businessman under his family in Guangzhou, is said to have donated five thousand taels of silver and many Australian treasures.
After returning to the capital, Yang Tianliang delivered the Australian goods and returned it to Gaoji because the Shengsi Temple was not ready to be built. But Eunuch Yang didn’t believe it..."
"It's easy, just write a letter and ask Gao Zhi, isn't it?"
"Haha, only they themselves know whether they wrote this letter and whether they refunded the money. But since then, their master-disciple relationship has become increasingly estranged. Now it's probably just face-to-face peace." Eunuch Yang pointed at
This apprentice will provide for him until he is old and die; as for the apprentice, he uses his master's identity to make money by pretending to be powerful. The two of them have not ruined their reputation."
"So that's it, Mr. Huang Wu is really a master!" Li Rufeng raised his thumbs and praised, "If it weren't for Mr. Wu, we would have no idea about the secrets of the palace supervisor..."
"Joking and joking." Huang Wuye said with a proud smile, "People outside the palace only think that they are heavenly beings when they look at the palace, but in fact, there are also people in the palace. Whether they are the emperor, the empress, or the maids and eunuchs, they can't escape the worldly ways.
Four words."
"Fifth Master is right." Li Rufeng thought to himself. From this, it can be seen that there is a great possibility that little Eunuch Yang will take risks for this large sum of money. Judging from various clues obtained, he is indeed the most suspicious person.
He suddenly remembered that Min Zhanlian's report mentioned an eunuch Cao - it was Eunuch Cao who introduced Liu Xiaozhen to Nanyuan as an errand. After he went there, Liu Xiaozhen attached himself to a certain "noble person". Maybe this was really serious.
It's relevant. He immediately asked: "Do you know Mr. Qin from Luocheng?"
"I know!" Huang Di nodded, "The sitting tiger in South City."
"Did you know that he has an old friend who is also an errand in the palace? His surname is Cao?"
"I know. Eunuch Cao is from Wei County, Daming Prefecture, but he is not an old friend of Mr. Qin. I heard that the two of us only became close in the past two years. Probably because of errands."
Huang Qi said that Eunuch Cao was actually not doing well in the palace. He was almost forty before he took up the job of a eunuch in charge of Nanyuan. Since he was the eunuch in charge of Nanyuan, he had to build a good relationship with the local snakes. From about this time on
He didn't know who to get through, so he got on Master Qin's line.
Li Rufeng thought to himself that it was no wonder that Liu Xiaobian's errand was introduced by Eunuch Cao. There was originally such a relationship.
"Speaking of which, Third Master Qin's cousin died a few days ago. This is also strange!" Huang Qi added.
"Oh, what's weird?" Li Rufeng originally wanted to ask about this matter. He took the initiative to mention it, obviously he had grasped something.
Huang Qi smiled: "If you were not Mr. Li, you would have to squeeze out this Australian toothpaste. Now I will tell you clearly. Mr. Li probably knows that this Qin Erlang is not very clean at his core."
"I know this. He is engaged in Mongolian trading outside the west entrance. There is no way to be clean in this business."
"Master Li, you only know one, but not the other. There is someone behind Qin Erlang."
"Oh, which family is he from?"
"How can he tell me which store's threshold is high, but the person who works for this store's threshold is an old acquaintance of mine. I was working as an errand in Dongchang, and he was in Jinyiwei. After losing power at the age of nine thousand, he and I had the same abandonment.
Running away from his job..."
Li Rufeng looked calm on the surface, but he was ready to express his feelings in his heart. He patiently asked:
"Who is this person?"
"The official name is Liu Ying. After he escaped from the capital, he lived in chaos all over the world and made a living by selling divination. I also met him in Guangzhou back then. I don't know which big family he joined later, and he was well-dressed..." Huang Qi was quite envious in his words.
Qing, "He seems to have become a master."
Li Rufeng was ecstatic at the moment. Originally, he didn't have high expectations for the information Huang Qi could provide. Unexpectedly, he not only uncovered Yang Tianliang, the biggest suspect, but also connected various fragments of clues collected by Min Zhanlian and others.
Get up!
Both Yang Tianliang and Liu Zhen are closely related to Leng Ningyun's case! If they were still confused about the case a few days ago, they already have a clear goal now!
"Master Huang Wu is in his prime, and he may become rich again in the future." Li Rufeng said with a smile, "Don't tell me what's wrong."
"Haha, I've tricked you with so many words, I have to calculate the money in a while." Huang Qi smiled and then said seriously, "Master Li, think about it, this Qin Erlang has a backstage, his cousin is also Luo Cheng's seat
Tiger, how can ordinary people dare to provoke such a big man? Now, hulaba, someone cuts off his tongue to plant lotus flowers. Isn’t this strange?"
"You naughty guy, you didn't say anything!"
"Alas, why didn't I say anything?" Huang Qi asked anxiously, "Since Qin Erlang is not something that ordinary people dare to touch, the person who killed him must be a big shot in the capital - otherwise this Third Master Qin, the well-known Luo Chengyi
Ba, can you howl for your brother a few times in the mourning hall and then hide and act like a coward?"
"Fifth Master, the most important thing in the capital is big shots. What you said is as if you didn't say it!"
Huang Qi looked at Li Rufeng intently for a while and suddenly smiled: "Master Li, Master Li, you are the number one figure in the world. Why are you suddenly confused? What does cutting out your tongue mean?"
"Of course I think he talks too much."
"What extra words?"
"How do I know this!"
"Master Li, don't you think this is cleaning up the family?"
Li Rufeng's eyelids jumped! What Huang Qi said did make sense. Cutting off his tongue and sinking it in the moat was obviously a warning to some people. These people were probably connected with Qin Erlang, and Qin Erlang said something that should not be said.
if.
But this explanation was somewhat reluctant. Li Rufeng knew that Huang Qi was very good at making shocking statements in order to boost the value of his intelligence. So he deliberately asked: "In that case, who is this person who cleans up the family?"
"Of course he is his benefactor." Huang Qi's eyes were bright, "Don't ask me why, I don't know, I just think so."
