Chapter 74 Investigate the news
Conventional, it is too conventional!

After saying this, Su Ze felt that he was about to be vomited.

But the cliche is also the most effective.

Hearing that there was going to be a disaster in the house, Yu Zongyuan immediately trembled.

Just now he wanted to ask Su Ze for advice on how to curse his elder brother to death and inherit Yu's family business.

At this moment, Su Ze said that the Yu family was in great trouble, so how could Yu Zongyuan not be in a hurry.

"Brother Su, what disaster is it? There is a way to avoid it!"

Su Ze still said calmly, "The disaster comes from the north."

Now Yu Zongyuan was shocked, and looked at Su Ze with reverence.

These days, after eating his father's family law, Yu Zongyuan also saw his father's anxiety.

Yu Zongyuan has never seen his father like this since he was a child. He secretly listened to the discussion between his father and elder brother. He only heard that a censor from the north was coming to the Qing army in Fujian. Both his father and brother were imperial envoys for the censor from the north. Sad face.

Unexpectedly, Su Ze knew that the disaster came from the north as soon as he "calculated". Now Yu Zongyuan believed in Su Ze's "Taoism" even more.

In fact, the news about Yushi Qingjun was also spread in the county, but Yu Zongyuan was deceived and believed that Su Ze had figured it out.

Su Ze narrowed his eyes again and said, "I can't figure out the way to avoid disaster for the time being."

"Can't figure it out!?"

Yu Zongyuan stood up, and Su Ze said calmly:
"My quincunx calculation is to use the principles in the "Book of Changes" to calculate the secrets of heaven. If you want to calculate, you must first understand the cause and effect."

Su Ze was rambling, but Yu Zongyuan understood what he meant, he thought about it, and told what he knew.

"My father received a message from a senior uncle in the Ministry of War that the imperial court will send the censor to the Qing army. All descendants of the children who committed crimes after the Yongle Years and were exiled into the army will not be allowed to serve in the imperial court. If they inherit the military position, they will not only be dismissed, but also their salary will be recovered. .”

Su Ze didn't show much expression. Hai Rui had already told him this information when he entered the county last time.

At the beginning of the month, the whole country was notified through the residence newspaper. The Yu family is the commander of the hereditary third rank. There must be some relatives and friends in the court. They should get more news.

Sure enough, Yu Zongyuan continued to say:
"The person sent by the imperial court to the Qing army in Fujian is Lord Yan Maoqing, the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Hearing the words Yan Maoqing, Su Ze frowned.

The surname is Yan, isn't it the "imperial envoy and censor Yan patrolling the guards" in the genealogy, but this Yan Maoqing is a uniquely biographical figure in Ming history.

There is a separate biography, not because of what Yan Maoqing and Yan Yushi have done, but because this guy is a super cool official!
Yan Maoqing was attached to Yan Song, and began to take charge of the salt administration of the Four Salt Transportation Departments in Jiajing 35. He blackmailed salt merchants, spent thousands of gold every year, tortured and killed innocent people, and the people complained and extorted Huainan's property, which almost led to a radical change.

But because he was able to make money, Emperor Jiajing not only ignored Yu Shi's impeachment of Yan Maoqing, but also promoted him to the right servant of the Ministry of punishment.

In the end, it was Yan Song who fell from power, and Yan Maoqing was liquidated and fell, and was sent to guard the border.

It turned out that it was such a corrupt official who came to the Qing army in Fujian. According to history, Yan Maoqing bribed Yan Song and his son two years later, and then got the fat job of being in charge of the salt administration of the four provinces. It seems that this money was used to bribe the Yan family and his son , It was saved during the Qing army in Fujian!
Now it's troublesome, if it's an ordinary censor, there's another theory about this matter, if it's a cruel and corrupt official like Yan Maoqing, then Changning Wei is also doomed.

It's no wonder that generations of commanders like the Yu family feel uneasy. It turns out that this guy Yan Maoqing is coming to Fujian.

Yu Zongyuan continued: "Master Yan is a Jinshi of the dynasty for 20 years. My uncle of the Ministry of War has heard that Lord Yan came to the Qing army in Fujian after following the old way of Xiaoge."

Yu Zongyuan sighed. Although he is only the second son of a third-rank military officer, he also knows the "prestige" of Xiaoge Lao.

Yu Zongyuan once heard that a magistrate who resigned from Ding You spent a thousand taels of silver in order to get a good job when he resumed his job, and he didn't even see Mr. Xiaoge's face in the end.

Yu Zongyuan also saw his father's subordinates who spent a lot of money to "honor" his father in order to be able to go out of the city and set up a card to "persuade" them to donate.

If you think about it casually, you will know how much this Lord Yan Maoqing, the censor, spent to get down to the Qing army, and how much he will do when he arrives in Fujian.

Su Ze still closed his eyes and asked, "How is your family going to deal with it?"

Yu Zongyuan paused for a moment, he overheard the content of his father and brother's secret discussion, and it was not convenient for outsiders to tell it.

But thinking of Su Ze's "supernatural powers", Yu Zongyuan decided to speak out, he is also for the good of the family!

Yu Zongyuan said: "My father wants to send my elder brother to Fuzhou Mansion, and first go to the Dusi Yamen to inquire about the situation. When Yan Yushi arrives in Fujian, he must go to the Dusi Yamen first."

"It's just that my brother already has a military post, so it's not suitable for him to leave Nanping County."

The guard system of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the garrison of the military area. Those with military positions were not allowed to leave the guard station unless they had special official duties.

For example, the duty of the Yanping Guard is to guard the Yanping Mansion, and in order to let the eldest son take over as the commander Yu Jia, the eldest son already has a military position and is now the forage ambassador of the Yanping Guard.

In fact, Commander Yu can just do official business, and it is enough to send the eldest son to Fuzhou on business, but now is the critical moment when the imperial censor of the Qing army is about to take office. He dared not send his eldest son out.

Su Ze looked at Yu Zongyuan and said, "Brother Yu, the calamity of your family will fall on you."

Yu Zongyuan pointed at himself and said, "Me?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "I've already done the calculations, you are the one who ruined the Yu family, so you should go to the Fuzhou mansion to share the worries and problems of the mansion."

Su Ze looked at Yu Zongyuan again and said: "If you can pass this hurdle, your Yu family will naturally have several generations of wealth, and what you want will turn around during this trip to Fuzhou!"

Yu Zongyuan's breath became short of breath. Isn't what he is asking for is the right to inherit the family?
This Su Ze is really good!He also saw what he wanted, and pointed out the way to help the family break the robbery.

Of course Su Ze didn't know that Yu Zongyuan wanted to fight for the inheritance, he just fooled Yu Zongyuan according to the words of the "fortune-telling" skill.

The first stop of Yan Maoqing's arrival in Fujian must be Fuzhou Prefecture. Yu Zongyuan was fooled to inquire about the news, also in order to obtain first-hand information.

Changningwei does not have the resources of Yanpingwei, so it can find a way to manage the censor.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. You must first find out Yan Maoqing's temperament, nature, and style of doing things before you can prescribe the right medicine.

Yu Zongyuan quickly filled up the wine, finished it in one gulp, and said: "Thank you, Brother Su! This time, when the matter is completed, Yu will invite Brother Su to thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zongyuan took out a kit purse, stuffed it into Su Ze's hand, went downstairs immediately, and hurried back home.

Su Ze opened the kit, and inside was a piece of girdle silver weighing 20 taels. Su Ze couldn't help feeling that the second son is really a good tool with a lot of money!
