East Factory Governor

Chapter 275 Tianjin Salt Transport Nest Case ([-])

After hearing this, Chongzhen said with great interest, "Oh? Brother Qin, do you have a clue? Did you know this Tianjin Dao before?"

Qin Shuhuai's "Donglin Disaster for the Country" contains many clues about Chen Qisheng, a soldier in Tianjin who took bribes and perverted the law, but all the things recorded here are "rumours". It can be seen from the fact that he planned to abolish Dongchang, which is good at "rumors" since he ascended the throne, so Qin Shuhuai did not intend to tell Chongzhen about this book.

So he said, "Chen Tianbao, son of Chen Qisheng in Tianjin Road, is dressed gorgeously. The jade crown on his head alone is worth 80 taels of silver. Wealthy businessmen who bought it, will definitely check it out.”

"Oh? Then which wealthy businessman are you planning to investigate? Don't wrongfully wrong a good person." Chongzhen said again.

Qin Shuhuai chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, I won't label people indiscriminately. The first one I want to investigate is the salt merchant Cheng Huaishan. He will definitely not be wronged."

Chongzhen wondered, "Why is Brother Qin so sure?"

"I have already inquired before I came here. Chenghuaishan is the largest salt merchant in Tianjin, and the five or six small salt merchants below are all controlled by him. Chen Liren, the capital of salt transportation in Tianjin, and Chen Qisheng of Tianjin Road are relatives and Chen Qisheng recommended him to the Ministry of Officials, because it was all related to the Donglin Party, and the officials were quickly appointed. Therefore, it can be said that Chen Qisheng has already controlled the Tianjin Salt Transport. How could a corrupt official like him not crack down? The idea of ​​this piece of fat meat? And if he wants to extend his hand to salt transportation, how can he not have an intersection with Cheng Huaishan, a great salt merchant?"

These are all recorded in the "Record of Disasters in the Eastern Forest", Qin Shuhuai thinks that it should not be too fake.Because Wen Tiren's original intention of writing this book was to save his life. If he didn't show up, he would definitely hide the book. Once the Donglin Party wanted to move him one day, he would take out the book and threaten the Donglin Party members. Or submit it directly to Chongzhen.To achieve this goal, the things written in this book must be reliable.

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Brother Qin is right. Then I will write you a handbook now, so that you can mobilize Jinyiwei in Tianjin, and it will be convenient for you to do things."

Qin Shuhuai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Chen Qisheng has managed Tianjin for many years, and his influence is intertwined. I am afraid that many of Jinyiwei in Tianjin are his old friends. If they are transferred, Chen Qisheng will definitely be on guard."

"Then what does Brother Qin mean?"

"Why don't you ask Meng Wei to call the Jinyiwei from Tongzhou, and Li Jingting will lead the team, and then you give me a letter saying that the Jinyiwei from Tongzhou should investigate in another place, so that nothing will go wrong."

"Well, Brother Qin is still thoughtful, so let's act accordingly. Brother Qin must act quickly. I hope that Tianjin Dao will be executed before returning to the palace, so as to make others famous."

"Don't worry, your majesty, within three days at the most, I will definitely make the case of Tianjin Dao an iron case."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shuhuai immediately went out to the next room, found Meng Wei, and told him about the situation.Without further ado, Meng Wei went out immediately and rushed to Tongzhou overnight.

At noon the next day, Li Jingting arrived with more than 50 Jinyiwei.However, in order to make a surprise attack, Qin Shuhuai decided to wait until late at night before going to Cheng Huaishan's house.

On this day, the whole city of Tianjin was under martial law, and there were officers and soldiers coming and going to search everywhere.Needless to say, he must be looking for Qin Shuhuai and others.Several groups of officers and soldiers came to the inn, but when they found Qin Shuhuai's room, Qin Shuhuai asked the old man to block the door with his token.After the old Taoist showed his badge, he severely reprimanded those officers and soldiers.How dare these people go against Jin Yiwei?He hurriedly apologized and left.

After dark, Qin Shuhuai and Chongzhen set off with more than 50 Tongzhou Jinyiwei, Meng Wei and others, heading for the salt merchant Cheng Huaishan's home.

On the road, a few sporadic inspectors and soldiers came to interrogate them, and all the Jin Yiwei tied them up without saying a word.

After more than a quarter of an hour, they came to a big house.Right above the majestic gate stands a plaque with the strong and powerful word "Chengfu" written on it, which can be seen from the hands of famous masters.

Jin Yiwei held up a torch and knocked on the door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

The guard at the door was awakened, and a servant came to open the door in a panic. When he saw a group of people in flying fish suits, his expression changed immediately, and he asked stammeringly, "W-several officials, What's the matter?"

"Shut up, go in and lead the way, and find your master!"

Li Jingting stared bull-eyed, and pushed the boy viciously.The little servant turned pale with fright, he didn't dare to let go of a fart, and immediately led everyone honestly to Cheng Huaishan's couch.

The arrogance and deterrence of the factory guards in the late Ming Dynasty can be seen.

More than 50 Jinyiwei entered and 30 people entered, and the remaining [-] or so people guarded the gate and watched the wall to prevent the married family from going out to report.

A group of people rushed in ferociously, and all the servants and guards in the mansion who dared to stop them would be knocked down.

It didn't take long to break into Cheng Huaishan's bedroom, and dragged Cheng Huaishan out of the bed while he was sleeping soundly. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old concubine beside him screamed in fright, but was knocked unconscious by Li Jingting's slap .

Cheng Huaishan was over 60 years old, and he was so frightened in the middle of the night that he almost peed his pants.After lighting up the lamp, seeing that it was Jin Yiwei again, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Several, several officials, what's the matter?"

Li Jingting snorted coldly, "What's the matter? According to the emperor's order, thoroughly investigate the Tianjin Yanyun nest case! Cheng Huaishan, let me tell you, you are in serious trouble!"

When Cheng Huaishan heard that he was going to investigate the salt transportation case, and he was following the emperor's order, his face became even more pale.

Gudong Gudong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and when he regained his sanity, he suddenly remembered something and said, "The officials are so nervous. Why didn't Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu King come together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Li Jingting firmly.

"Listen well, this case is a nest case and a major case supervised by the emperor. In order to prevent local officials from colluding with each other, the deputy Qianhu came from Tongzhou to investigate."

As he said that, Li Jingting took out his deputy thousand household token and waved it in front of Cheng Huaishan.

Cheng Huaishan trembled even more.

"My lord, the little one is just a salt merchant, and has not been involved in any case! Please be clear, my lord!"

Li Jingting grinned, but in the jumping flames he was as ferocious as a ghost.

"Outside the members, are you saying that I, Jin Yiwei, have wronged you? It's okay, then let's discuss it." After speaking, he turned to one of his subordinates and said, "Come here, bring the baby up."

"Yes!"

Soon, two royal guards came up carrying a large and bulky box.When the box was opened, there was a pungent smell of blood first, and then all kinds of grotesque execution tools were seen inside.Some were made of bamboo, some were made of iron, some were as sharp as a cone, and some were like a crescent moon. Every instrument of torture was stained with dark red blood without exception, and even Qin Shuhuai's scalp felt numb when he saw it.

Li Jingting said with a sinister smile, "Except for the members, I have plenty of time. I will take you to get to know each of these treasures one by one. Don't worry, there are two big boxes at the back. They won't be the same until dawn!"
