Chapter 178 Treasure Fight

Nanjing City Ferry Crossing,

The giant ship slowly landed and made a loud noise.

The anchor was thrown.

On the shore, Yan Jue and Li Zongyi led a group of Jinyiwei to wait here.

In addition, there are also the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Nanzhili and a group of Yingtian Prefecture officials.

Lin Mang rode down from the deck on the Pixiu.

"grown ups!"

Yan Jue and Li Zongyi went forward to salute.

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is a man who looks about forty years old. He has a gentle face and a scholarly eyebrow.

He doesn't look like an official, but rather a scholar.

Seeing Lin Mang get off the boat, Wang Mingzhang immediately knelt forward and saluted: "The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Wang Mingzhang and Yingtian Prefecture all the officials to pay homage to the Lord."

The officials behind him knelt down one after another.

"Meet the Lord."

Lin Mang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Get up, Lord Wang."

"I have just arrived in Nanjing, and I still need to trouble Lord Wang for many things."

Wang Mingzhang stood up and said respectfully: "If Lord Lin gives orders, the lower officials should obey it."

His every move, every word, seemed to abide by the norms.

Wang Mingzhang reached out and signaled: "Sir Lin, please go to the other courtyard in the city to rest."

Lin Mang nodded and walked forward.

This is indeed not a place to speak.

Everyone soon arrived at the villa in the city.

Wang Mingzhang explained good things, exchanged greetings, and then took the initiative to lead a group of officials to leave.

In the hall,

Lin Mang sat on the chair of the Grand Master, looked down at Yan Jue and Li Zongyi, and said lightly: "Tell me about the situation in Jiangnan."

Yan Jue looked at Li Zongyi.

Li Zongyi stood up and bowed, "Report to the Lord, we have investigated and dealt with 148 Jinyiwei in Jiangnan, including one thousand deputy households, eight hundred households, and thirty-four general bannermen. The rest are all Jinyiwei and ordinary small bannermen."

Lin Mang put down the teacup and chuckled, "There are quite a lot of people."

"I guess this is not all, right?"

"Yes." Li Zongyi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "There are still some thousands of households involved, but it's not easy to investigate. They are protected by some Nanjing officials behind them."

"There are four people in Nanzhili and three people in Zhejiang."

"This new policy of the imperial court has been implemented, and there are shadows of Jinyiwei from all over the country. If we had not used this matter, we would not have found so many people."

Li Zongyi didn't say anything.

During this period in Jiangnan, they were attacked a lot.

Recently, it has been repeatedly blocked.

Lin Mang asked: "Are there any clues about Zhang Shicheng's treasure that has been circulating in the world recently?"

Long before he went to Jiangnan, Feiying had already sent a message to Yan Jue and others, and ordered them to investigate the treasures in Jiangnan in advance.

Zhang Shicheng gradually became the "King Cheng" who led tens of thousands of people from an ordinary salt worker. Later, he became the King of Wu and controlled many places.

Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to conquer Suzhou City ten months.

Zhang Shicheng controlled Jiangnan for many years and was the richest at that time.

If there is really a treasure, it will definitely be an extremely huge fortune.

Yan Jue stood up and bowed, "We have investigated the treasure secretly."

"According to the old man in Suzhou City, Zhang Shicheng transferred a lot of treasures before his defeat. At that time, many Suzhou people participated in transportation, and this matter was indeed true."

"This batch of treasures was originally left by Zhang Shicheng for future generations to make a comeback, but there was no news later."

"Recently, there have been some rumors in the world, and there are even rumors that Zhang Shicheng's descendants appeared."

"A group of so-called old subordinates of Zhang Shicheng even emerged, intending to support Zhang Shicheng's descendants to make a comeback."

"The rumored treasure is in a Suzhou landscape map. Now the entire Jiangnan river and lake are extremely lively, and we are looking for that landscape map."

Faced with such a huge amount of wealth, no one is unmoved.

"The old subordinate of Zhang Shicheng?" Lin Mang sneered, showing disdain.

This has been many years.

Where did the old subordinates come from? They were just conspiracy and remarks from some ulterior motives.

But this matter is indeed a matter of necessity. If someone is really interested in getting this treasure, it may really cause a turmoil.

Lin Mang gently tapped the table, his eyes showing contemplation.

"Are there any clues about which landscape picture?"

Yan Jue shook his head and said, "Not yet, people in the martial arts world are looking for it recently."

"There are rumors that the treasure map is on Zhang Shicheng's descendants, but I don't know whether it is true or false."

Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "Continue to send someone to investigate, be sure to find the scenery."

"Yes!" Yan Jue bowed and responded.

Lin Mang picked up the tea and tasted it briefly, and asked, "What is the situation with the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture?"

When he saw this today, he felt that this person was a little strange.

Yan Jue stood up and replied, "According to our investigation, this person is a clean official and from a famous family."

"However, Yingtian Mansion is special. This person has little power here, and he is almost in a state of being undermined."

"We are here to investigate the case, thanks to the help of the royal prefect."

Lin Mang knew it in his heart.

Nanjing City is almost equivalent to the second court in the court. There are many officials here, and there are many high-ranking officials who come to support the elderly. The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is nothing here.

Everyone discussed it and then stepped down.

...

At the same time, news about Lin Mang coming to Nanjing City quickly spread throughout Yingtian Prefecture and spread throughout Nanzhili.

In recent times, the court has re-implemented the new policy, and a large number of Jinyiwei have gone south, which has attracted the turmoil of the people in Jiangnan.

Now that a Jinyiwei politician is heading south, how can he not cause a sensation?

For a moment, the entire Nanzhili was alarmed.

However, compared to this news, everyone is more concerned about Zhang Shicheng's treasure.

Not only the people in the world are concerned about this matter, but also many aristocratic families and officials.

...

The second day,

Lin Mang then summoned the Jinyiwei to inspect the implementation of the new policy.

Among them, measuring land is a crucial part.

The land was occupied by major families and wealthy officials, and many of the land was not recorded.

In addition, there are various commercial tax situations.

A crucial part of the new policy is commercial taxation.

The Jiangnan was rich and there were many merchants, which were all huge profits.

As soon as Lin Mang arrived in Yingtian Prefecture, he launched a series of decisive measures, and many officials were dismissed.

In addition, many wealthy families with land annexed were arrested and some officials were beheaded.

In just a few days, all counties in Yingtian Prefecture have gained great reputation.

Different identities and actions are naturally different.

For some Nanjing officials who tried to interfere, his answer was only one word.

roll!

When dealing with the matter of the new policy, he was also paying attention to the treasure.
