Chapter 373 Not a good job

Jiang Lang said this, Lord Mi naturally had no objection. He looked around and saw that there were only three people in the field. At that time, the guards were following him from afar. Even Qian Zhengbang and others stood far away, simply sat on the grass on the river bank, then patted the person beside him, and said, "You do it too!"

Jiang Lang must have expected that Master Mi had something to do, otherwise it wouldn't be called sitting down. He sat on the ground and then said: "To be honest, I really hope that I have a fishing rod now. It's actually good to fish here leisurely!"

It is spring now. After a cold winter, the wheat and other crops in the fields are growing well, with green everywhere, full of infinite vitality.

At this time, Lord Mi groped in his arms for a while, then took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Lang, saying, "This is the secret letter that Lord Yu Qian and Lord Yu asked me to hand it over to you before leaving!"

Jiang Lang took the letter and looked at it. He found that the fire paint on the envelope was intact, and the handwriting on the cover was also Yu Qian's handwriting. Then he opened the envelope, took out two pieces of letter paper, and looked carefully.

In the letter, Yu Qian told him in detail about the situation of asking Lord Mi to investigate the tax and silver in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the name of the case being tried. Because this matter was very involved and he went to the battle some time ago, he did not tell himself. However, the spy had already been arranged in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. After several months of investigation, he has grasped a lot of situations. The main thing is the stage of closing the net. He has to cooperate with Lord Mi to close the net and eliminate the batch of borers in the court.

After reading the letter, Jiang Lang folded the letter again, then closed it in his hands and saw it. With force, he let go again. The letter turned into a pile of scraps of paper, falling into the river, and slowly drifted down the river surface.

After seeing the paper scraps floating away, Jiang Lang said: "I know what Master Yu means. Don't worry, I will cooperate with you well. Anyway, I don't plan to rush back when I came to Yangzhou this time. By the way, I also want to take my wife to have a good tour of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan."

Lord Mi nodded and said, "I feel relieved that Lord Wang said this. I can't stay here for too long, otherwise it will cause the attention of those people. But Lord Wang, you are different. You have sufficient reasons to stay here. And after you left the capital, the court also spoke, saying that the emperor was grateful for your achievements in attacking Washu, so that you were allowed to come to Hangzhou for cultivation. Of course, everyone who knows that your main purpose this time is for Sun Yuanbiao, and this happens to be your best cover. Before I leave, I will tell you the relevant situation in detail. Only by relying on Lord Wang's power will you rely on!"

Jiang Lang bowed and said, "Mr. Mi is serious, and I am naturally obliged to eradicate these borers for the court!"

"Oh well!"

Lord Mi smiled, stood up, bowed, and said, "I'll go back first. Now I am the presiding judge of the Song Yuanba case, and I should show my face in front of the people!"

After watching Lord Mi walk away, Jiang Lang sighed slightly.

Zi Ling asked with concern on her face, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yu has given me a chore!"

Zi Ling was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Isn't it just to check the tax and silver case in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? And Master Mi said that it's just a stage of closing the Internet."

"Closing the Internet?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Closing the Internet? This Internet is not so easy to collect. It's easy to check any tax and silver in the world, but this is the most difficult to check in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas."

While talking, Jiang Lang picked up a stone next to him and threw it into the water. With a normal sound, the calm river surface was immediately broken, causing ripples.

Zi Ling showed a look of concern on her face, but she was still a little curious and said, "Then tell me, why is it hard to check!"

Seeing that Zi Ling was so interested, Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Since my wife wants to hear it, I will just say that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have always been an important source of tax revenue for various dynasties and generations. Similarly, these local officials have guarded so much wealth and naturally few can guarantee that they have clean hands and feet. Therefore, the official positions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been a fat and shortage."

Zi Ling nodded and said, "You are right! But if you check it, just check it?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and continued, "Where is that simple? This investigation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will affect the whole body. If I really check, my country and country in Ming Dynasty will have to collapse! So, I said this is not a good job!"

Zi Ling's face changed slightly and she said, "Is it so serious?"

"It's indeed so serious!"

Jiang Lang nodded, hugged Zi Ling gently, and said, "Let me give you an example. For example, I am a county magistrate. This year, I have made about 5,000 taels of silver. What should I do to make my position safe?"

Zi Ling immediately replied: "Give silver to the officials above!"

"By the way!"

Jiang Lang smiled and then said, "I took half of it to honor the top. By the same token, after receiving the money, in order to ensure that my position is stable, I have to respect the top. In the end, the last one is the high-ranking officials of the court. You said that if I really pursue the roots and the bottom of the officials, if those officials are really arrested, there are still a few officials in the court who will not go to the prison?"

When Zi Ling heard this, she didn't expect that it was so complicated. She couldn't help but get anxious and said, "So do this? Wouldn't you check?"

"Can you not check?"

Jiang Lang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I naturally have to find a way to complete what Lord Yu explained, and it can be seen that it has been a long time since he exchanged this. If he grasps a certain degree, I think there should be no problem!"

Zi Ling nodded and said, "What do you mean is that the people in the court are nervous, but they just check the following ones? But they don't check them?"

Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "It's all that you can't see your husband's case being inserted. The high-ranking officials in the court went into the prison. Wouldn't the court be in a mess? And the most important point is that the emperor is the most difficult to do. The emperor has a hard time, and the unlucky one is your husband. Just like Shang Yang!"

"You are talking about Shang Yang from the Qin Dynasty?"

Zi Ling asked some questions,

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Yes, it was Shang Yang of the Qin Dynasty. For the sake of the strength of Qin, he implemented reforms. In the end, Qin was powerful. However, Shang Yang offended many nobles of Qin. In the end, in order to calm the anger of these nobles, Shang Yang was broken into pieces and died. Now what your husband is doing is actually not much different from him. He may also offend the interests of the ministers in the court. If he doesn't do it well, I may be the next Shang Yang."

Zi Ling couldn't help but get anxious, and immediately stretched out a slender finger and pressed it on Jiang Lang's lips, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

He reached out and grabbed Zi Ling's finger, Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Okay... OK, my good wife, I promise you, can't I not say it?"

"I can't even think about it!"

Zi Ling emphasized.

"Okay, OK!"

Jiang Lang quickly smiled, "I don't want to do it, can't I?"

Jiang Lang didn't think about it anymore, but Zi Lingdao also thought about it and said with some concern: "My husband, I thought about it. This errand is really not a good errand. Otherwise, let's talk to Lord Yu?"

"You have to keep your word!"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Your husband is a third-rank official in the court, you can't keep your word, you'll be laughed at if you spread like this!"

"I think it's just a smirk!"

Zi Ling pursed her lips and said, "You won't check them anymore. Then they dare to laugh at you, so naturally they will laugh in their hearts!"

"Okay, OK!"

Jiang Lang quickly stopped Zi Ling and said, "You told me not to think about it. You will remember it yourself. If you don't think about it, you will be overwhelmed when you think about it. Now we are not allowed to think about it. Now we will walk around happily when we come out. We will almost go back later."

Zi Ling nodded, then leaned against Jiang Lang and suddenly said, "Honey, where do you think we will go when we get old in the future?"

"Let's go to Bashu!"

Jiang Lang said without any hesitation.

"Bashu?"

Zi Ling couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to go to Bashu? Isn't Hangzhou very good in Yangzhou?"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "This Bashu is a good place. It is not very hot in summer and not very cold in winter. Moreover, since ancient times, this Bashu has been a rich place. The Shu Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms has also established its capital in Bashu, so I really want to go and have a look!"

Zi Ling smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, since my husband is going to Bashu, I will also go to Bashu. We are the scale and the weight!"
