Chapter 347 Blue Sky (1)
"Long live the lord, I've found it out!"
It was still on the most dilapidated Heyaner Street outside Wuchang City. At noon, Zhu Yunqiu insisted on leaving Li Jinglong and He Guangyi away, and found a restaurant casually.
As soon as he sat down, before the dishes were served, Hu Huan came over quietly and muttered in Zhu Yunyu's ear, "Smuggled from Wuchang to Xiangyang by water."
"Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and Xiangyang is a major town divided between the north and the south. In order to evade Xiangyang's taxes, some merchants used the guise of official ships to catch sand, half of the ships, half of the ships of sand, and half of the ships of cargo, and went to Xiangyang by water."
"Since the sand boat has official documents from the government, Xiangyang will not check it. This time, the taxes evaded are not a little bit!"
Zhu Yunxiu sat at the dining table, looked at the sails coming and going on the river, and asked, "Who is the smuggling person? Whose businessman is so brave to smuggle in the form of a sand boat in the government?"
"Uh..." Hu Guan pondered slightly, "The smuggling person is just helping with the smuggling!"
Zhu Yunxiu laughed directly!
I understand, this is a line that specializes in smuggling others.
But his smile seemed a little cold, because this kind of behavior of specializing in smuggling must be something that people in the government dare to do so.
Moreover, it is far worse than merchant smuggling.
Just imagine, this is not something that can be done by one person, but that from top to bottom, it is a line of interest connection.
"So, this is the reason why another ship was refused to save when the Xu brothers and sisters' father was waiting for the ship to sink!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "It is also the reason why they concealed their lives and refused to complain to the people!"
"Long live the sacred wise!" Hu Guan whispered, "The ship sank and the person died. Whether it is fishing for the boat or the body, it will alarm the Yangtze River Navy... This matter will definitely not be compromised!"
Zhu Yunxiu narrowed his eyes, "Actually there is another possibility! Could it be that the civilians on the ship discovered the smuggling of the ship when the ship was sunk, so someone deliberately refused to save him... and killed someone to silence him?"
"Long live the emperor and see Wanli!" Hu Guan said again, "It must be possible. But now, there is no evidence of death!"
As he said that, he paused and continued, "Last night, the people below started to check. The first one was the boss and the supervisor of another ship without a sunken sand ship that day. But unexpectedly, both of them..."
"If you don't live, you won't see a corpse?" Zhu Yunxi asked coldly.
"Yes!" Hu Guan whispered, "not only can they not find them, but also their families!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, "It doesn't matter if they can't find it, as long as the ship can be found. Since they are using official ships, just look for the people from Wuchang Shipbuilding Department!"
"So, Weishen found one of the Shipbuilding Divisions and used some means to help them all!"
"There is another thing here. Why don't they use big ships? Because all the big ships are rented out to help merchants transport goods!"
"Ha!" Hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu sneered again, "Speak on!"
"Also, the large ships are all flat ships, which are not convenient to be sucked in the cabin. Although the small boats are small, they are all fighting boats, which is convenient to hide things!"
Zhu Yunxi stretched out his slender fingers and tapped the table, "The highest, who is involved?"
"At present, the highest-level one involved in the case is Zhang Qian, the governor of Wuchang, Qian Dayong, the commander of the Shipbuilding Department, and Wang Guangjing, the commander of the Military and Ma Commander..." As he said that, Hu Guan paused again, "Time is in a hurry, and Xiangyang has not yet investigated, but in my opinion, it should be related, otherwise even a sand ship would not be so smooth."
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu sneered again, "It shouldn't be related, but it must be related!" As he said, he looked at Hu Guan, "Is the Yangtze River Navy related?"
"Long live the emperor, Chang Hou is still rigorous in governing the army!" Hu Guan whispered.
It is not uncommon for anything to happen in the local area, because it has been like this for thousands of years in the past dynasties. In fact, the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of differentiation, is a complex network of relationships.
Behind these nets are countless unclearable interests and unclearable darkness.
Even the emperor was furious and tore up these nets. But it didn't take long, and a new net was even sooner, and blinded again.
The only thing that made Zhu Yunxi feel a little relieved was that the Huguang Dusi, which Chang Sen was in charge, did not get involved in these matters.
But thinking about it, it is natural that martial artists are rampant in troubled times. In the peaceful and prosperous times, civil officials in charge of civil affairs are popular.
And compared to military officials, civil servants have a natural advantage.
That is, they are close to the local power structure, and money and power hit it off, forming a huge force that is difficult for you to separate clearly in me and me.
Moreover, this kind of force is hereditary!
"The confession is here!" Hu Huan patted his cuffs.
"I won't watch it anymore!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and sighed, "I'm also angry when I see it!"
As he said that, he sighed again, "Actually, I am not very angry about the government's efforts to help with the smuggling. Isn't there anything that is more unpleasant in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
"This matter is hidden from the court, but is it a secret in the local area? Can other officials not know? They are just not concerned about their own affairs!"
"What makes me sad is the dozens of lives." As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "How many people have to say hello to cover up this cover?"
"Among so many people, even if... even if there are only one or two with consciences, why do you hide it so much and bully the people so miserably?"
"Even if they dare not offend their colleagues in the local area, they dare not disobey Shangguan. Do they dare not report secretly? The Independent Council is a decoration? The Jinyiwei is a decoration?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu frowned and sighed, "There are also the left and right players in Huguang who are participating in politics, Yu Xin and Jin Chun. When they were in Beijing, they were all rare talents. I specially arranged them to be trained in the local area..."
Both of them came to Huguang to support the overall situation with Changsen, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, when they were dealing with the King of Chu.
They were originally Jian Zai Di Xin, and their future was very good. But now, Zhu Yunyu has to re-examine it.
Hu Guan lowered his head, weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and then hesitated, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm asking for good things to help them, and there's no need to help them say good things to them, but..."
“But what?”
"But these two adults really don't know these inside stories!" Hu Guan said, "When Weichen interrogated this case last night, he also asked this question!"
He paused again and observed Zhu Yunxi's face, "In the Hubei officialdom, since they were transferred from Beijing, they are often wary of it."
"Local officials will definitely not get too close to them." Hu Guan said again, "It is not surprising that there are no eyes and eyes, no eyeliner, and I don't know many things!"
"Besides, these two adults are all in the affairs of the governor's office and the prefecture, and they don't notice it!"
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
Even if he became the leader of the shadow, he still couldn't change the silly spirit in his heart.
If the emperor had said this when Park's husband was in the past, he would never have spoken too much.
But the reason why Zhu Yunqi trusted Hu Guan is because he had this silly spirit in his heart when facing big troubles.
"Prince, next...?"
