Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 15 Greed is the original sin, gold and silver are deadly knives!

"Hmm, hum, hum..."

An Dongwei commanded the yamen, and the commander Zhang Ze hummed a ditty, looked at the very beautiful little ingot in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

The shelf in front of him was full of ingots of this style.

The money does not belong to him, but it will belong to him in a few days.

These are all stolen money that was seized from a traitor who was connected to the Japanese.

That's right, a traitor.

Although the other party denied it categorically and refused to confess no matter how hard they fought, Zhang Ze didn't care at all.

Anyway, he has plenty of time to use means, and he is confident that the other party will admit to these charges.

Judging by his proficiency, it is obvious that this is not the first time he has done this.

Zhang Ze is not afraid that someone above will know about this.

In the place of Antonwei, he is the sky here, he is the king here, and he is the emperor here.

An Dongwei is different from other guards in that it is not responsible to the capital commander Yamen, but directly obeys the capital governor's office of the five armies of the capital.

The reason why his guard is so special is because the nature of their work is different from other guards.

The work of other guards is nothing more than farming, or obeying the dispatch of the imperial court, and going to the front to fight.

As for his guard, the main task is to patrol the coastal defense and resist Japanese pirates' harassment.

With the increasing harassment of Japanese pirates in recent years, the imperial court has paid more and more attention to this aspect, and has specially set up this kind of defense station to deal with, or to defend against Japanese pirates.

Anton Guard is one of them, and it is not a guard at the level of a thousand households, but a guard commander level with more than 5000 people.

As a commanding envoy, he is of the third grade, comparable to the prefects of various prefectures.

Andongwei is remote and is often harassed by Japanese pirates, so few people come here.

Even if it was an inspection from above, it would just call him to Fucheng, and it would be over after a cutscene.

After a long time, Zhang Ze's heart became more and more wild, and An Dongwei's place had faintly become his private territory.

Although he lived a carefree life, but here is too poor, and there are many mountains, if he wants to imitate other military officers, he can't earn much money.

Therefore, Zhang Ze set his sights on Haiyan.

For this reason, Zhang Ze asked all the military households, as well as the original kitchen households, to sell salt to him at the lowest price, and not to sell it to others privately.

The local people were oppressed, and they dared not speak out, so they could only honestly sell the salt to Zhang Ze at an outrageously low price.

After receiving the salt, Zhang Ze sold the salt to those salt merchants or private salt dealers at a slightly higher price.

He made a lot of money in such a handover.

Zhang Ze originally thought that as long as the Japanese pirates did not come, such a leisurely life would continue like this.

The appearance of a caravan broke Antonwei's tranquility.

The caravan that came to Antonwei from the outside did not cause any trouble at first, but bought a dilapidated stockade in the hands of the county magistrate who was as scared as his grandson. I heard that it seemed to be building something factory.

At the beginning, Zhang Ze didn't care about it, so he just built the factory. Although he didn't know what the factory was for, as long as he had a lot of filial piety, it would be fine.

However, just half a month ago, his dog-headed military division found him and told him that the person who came to build the factory started to discuss with those stove owners about buying salt.

And the price they gave was several times higher than that of them, and even a penny more than salt dealers in other places charged.

Now Zhang Ze was angry.

Destroying people and wealth is like killing parents. How could he bear this kind of behavior of stealing his money.

What's more, he regards Antonwei as his territory, and if someone dares to steal his business in his territory, isn't that a slap in the face of him?

The furious Zhang Ze didn't say anything, and directly asked the dog-headed military division to arrest the other party in the name of being a Japanese pirate.

Although when arresting him, the other party claimed to know the father-in-law in the palace, but Zhang Ze didn't care at all.

So what if I know the father-in-law in the palace, I have even met the current emperor.

But even though he said so, Zhang Ze still had some worries in his heart.

If the other party really knows some important person and exposes his affairs, then he will be completely finished.

Just when he was thinking about whether to arrest the other party to scare him, and then drive him away.

The subordinates who searched reported that a large amount of silver was found in the warehouse, at least about 5 taels.

In an instant, Zhang Ze's worry turned into killing intent.

Isn't it just knowing a father-in-law? There are so many father-in-laws in the palace, who knows what kind of character is a cat or a dog, maybe just an ant who cleans the toilet, not even a small person.

Comforting himself in his heart, Zhang Ze directly ordered everyone to be taken away with a cold face, and tortured, how did the other party have an affair with the Japanese pirates.

As long as he proves the crime, not to mention a father-in-law who has never heard of it, even the important officials of the court can't afford to go around.

"Master Commander, Master Commander, come out quickly, there are people outside!"

Just when Zhang Ze was admiring his treasure and considering the money, whether to buy more concubines or build some weapons, the voice of the dog-headed military division sounded outside the treasure house, urging him to get out quickly.

Zhang Ze, whose interest was disturbed, put a serious face on his face, carefully put the beautiful ingot in his hand on the shelf, and walked out of the treasure house with a cold face.

"What happened?"

Zhang Ze, who was in an extremely bad mood, closed the door of the treasure house, turned around and gave the dog-headed military master a hard look.

The dog-headed military officer, who was already sweating profusely from anxiety, ignored Zhang Ze's expression, and hurriedly reported anxiously: "My lord, a group of people came outside the guard, and the leader was an eunuch who said he came from the palace." Yes, I want to see you. Just now, the villain saw that the situation was wrong, so Wu Qianhu stopped them first."

"What, eunuch! From the palace."

These two words exploded in Zhang Ze's mind, causing his body to shake slightly.

"It's over, something happened!"

At this moment, he remembered what the trader said to him when he was arrested, and he was finished.

"Hurry up, hurry up... You go to the cell immediately, deal with that group of traders, and throw all the corpses into the sea."

Although he was a little panicked, Zhang Ze quickly came up with a solution.

As long as the merchants and the group are dealt with, and the subordinates will explain it well, no matter what the court asks, he will directly deny it, and it will be fine if he has never met those people.

Those people were sneaky, and they came to this remote place, absolutely not wanting the outside world to know their actions.

As long as this matter is not related to the emperor, and other characters want to move him because of this matter, he will tell the other party clearly that he, the commander of the third rank, is not just for nothing.
