Mo Qinghe said in surprise: "Your Imperial Envoy drank Huangjian when he was in Beijing? Ah! Yes, Lord Yang is a capable minister in front of the emperor, so he naturally has the opportunity to taste the best tribute tea, hehehe", he said with a smile After waving their hands, the tea picker, the tea supervisor and the tax collector from Lion Peak all backed out.
Zheng Baihu looked at Yang Ling hesitantly. Yang Ling didn't believe that Mo Qinghe would dare to openly harm him because of this incident. What's more, the people he brought were all excellent in martial arts, and the number of people was much larger than that of Mo Tax Supervisor. He waved his hand casually and ordered Zheng Baihu to take people out.
Mo Qinghe picked up a cup of tea, slowly blew on the floating camellia, took a sip of the tea, and then said with a smile: "This humble tea is actually better than the top grade of the tribute. It¡¯s no wonder that grown-ups become suspicious when they have a good taste. But it¡¯s not a secret, most people in the industry know about it.¡±
"Oh?" Yang Ling gently turned the teacup, wondering: "Shouldn't the tribute tea be the best tea? Why is the imperial tip of West Lake Longjing enshrined in Ouchi not as good as the tea you intercepted? "
Mo Qinghe laughed and said: "I don't know, my lord, this tea is only the authentic top-quality tea produced by the nearby peaks. The best tea is greatly affected by the climate. Produce some top-quality tea, and the taste will be greatly affected by the long-distance transportation even if it is rainy.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the tea tasted by the emperor will be stable and of the same quality, the tea offered as a tribute should not be the best, but only the most stable. Otherwise, the taste of the emperor's tea this year will be different, and if the tea tastes slightly different next year, he thinks that the subordinates are not doing well, so he will investigate it. If so, even if the heads of all the people in this tea garden are beheaded, no new tea will be produced.
This, it¡¯s not that the people below are disrespectful to the emperor, there is really no way to do it, there are occasional people in Beijing who taste the difference between these two kinds of tea, and they only think that the tea just picked on the spot is delicious, and they will never be suspicious . Humble admires Mr. Yang very much, so he dare not hide it, of course Mr. Yang sympathizes with the people, and Humble has long been heard, so he can't bear to hide it."
Yang Ling was stunned when he heard that, he only thought that Mo Qinghe hid the good tea for personal gain, but he didn't expect such a reason. Mo Qinghe smiled wryly and said: "My lord, those of us who are waiting below, with our status as emperor's envoys, show off our might, and everyone feels extremely majestic, and who knows that we have worked so hard to go up and down Yuanhuan.
But there is no other way, except that we don¡¯t dare to bring the tea whose quality is variable due to the weather to the inside and outside, but we don¡¯t dare to keep it private. We hand over the silver taels for the sale of these top-quality tea to the capital according to the amount. Of course I can't help but take some out to give to the Shangguan in Beijing. I have to honor ten catties of good tea every year, the prince and several leaders. Now the humble is under the jurisdiction of the adults, and I will tell you frankly. Understand the situation and understand the difficulties of us slaves."
Yang Ling couldn't stop smiling wryly when he heard this, he thought it was a big case of deceiving the emperor, but it turned out to be a customary rule in the officialdom: for any tribute that cannot guarantee the quality and quantity of supply, he would rather return to the next best thing than pay the grand nephew. In case Longyan is furious, it is not beautiful.
However, Mo Qinghe's frank confession also made him feel good. No matter whether Mo Qinghe is sincere or open-minded, at least it shows that he really has the intention to get closer to himself. Yang Ling laughed, raised his glass to Mo Qinghe and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for telling me frankly and explaining my doubts. Yang is working in front of you. Of course, I know your difficulties. Now that I know the clues, naturally I won't Strange."
After listening to Liu Biao's report, Yang Ling decided to use the Customs Supervisor Yuan Xiong to make a move. However, the matter of Mo Qinghe's tribute tea has always been on his mind. Now that he knows the details, he feels very happy in his heart. Ming talk, each other's feelings have warmed up a lot.
After walking around the tea garden halfway up the mountain for two laps, the inspection task was considered to be completed. When the two went down the mountain and got on the sedan chair, Mo Qinghe raised his hand, and the tax supervisor who guarded the tea garden quickly led a few people to bring over two small boxes. Yang Ling Puzzled and authentic: "This is?"
Mo Qinghe laughed and said: "My lord, there is really nothing decent on this mountain except for the tea leaves. In this box is ten catties of top-grade Yuqian Longjing. My lord, take it back and try something new. If the weather is bad when the tea is harvested next year , but you can¡¯t drink such good tea.¡±
Yang Ling knew that such a real top-quality product, Yuqian, would sell it to the rich in Jiangnan at this time. One tael of tea would be worth ten taels of silver, and this small box of tea would cost a thousand taels of silver. A month's ration is really too extravagant.
However, since everyone in the supervisor of ceremonies was used to accepting them before, Mo Qinghe has not returned to his heart at this time. If he does not accept it, it will inevitably make him suspicious, so he nodded with a smile, and Mo Qinghe rubbed his hands.The matter has been recorded by the governor, and it is still necessary for Mr. Ding to take advantage of each case and collect a lot of evidence, and the governor will also take it with confidence."
Ding Lin was dumbfounded when he heard this: "It turns out that the factory superintendent is lying to him. Although he has heard about these things, there is no one to testify!" After getting off the pirate ship, and thinking about it again, Yang Ling could arrest him and take him to the inner factory for interrogation with just this pleading paper.
People's hearts are like iron, and officials' laws are like furnaces. Who can hide secrets under the torture of factory guards? Even if Eunuch Yuan and Bi Chun were willing to save him, he would be crippled when he came out, so Ding Lin had no choice but to agree dejectedly.
Yang Ling didn't just rely on threats to get him to do things. Seeing that he agreed, he quickly helped him up with a smile, appointed him as an official and made a wish, painted a bright future for him, and flattered the deflated Ding Qian After getting angry, he let him go.
After he left, Liu Biao said strangely: "My lord, as long as there are some clues, officials like Bi Chun and Ding Lin can take people for interrogation without asking for an order. Besides, we have some certainties." Evidence, why does your lord go to such lengths to use this guy?"
Yang Ling smiled lightly and said, "Liu Biao, Ding Linhave nothing to fear! Bi Chunhave nothing to fear! Yuan Xionghave nothing to fear either! But, do you think our enemy Are they really them?"
He shook his head and said with a smile: "No, our real opponent is in Jingli. These people are not so much people we want to deal with, but rather a weapon. Those in Jingli are waiting to use them We, we are also using them to deal with Jingli, ha ha, so the more convincing the evidence, the better, if the witnesses and the evidence are absolutely true, they just want to get rid of right and wrong, and they have no excuse.¡±
Liu Biao was startled when he heard this: "Yeah, why did you forget why you came to Jiangnan? This is basically a game set up by the Supervisor of Rituals and Dongchang. Will they honestly watch Mr. Yang come to solve this game? Dealing with these guarding eunuchs now is actually fighting a battle. If you win, you will win the support of hundreds of tax supervisors in the world, weakening the strength of the ceremonial supervisor and Dongchang. If you lose, you will not only lose a tax supervisor. Superintendent, by then the local tax supervisors will make things difficult, and I am afraid that the existing sources of income and influence will also be ruined!"
"My lord is getting more and more scheming." Liu Biao looked at Yang Ling with admiration, and said respectfully, "Then, do we have to wait for Ding Qian to get the credentials before dealing with them?"
Yang Ling shook his head and said: "No! Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. The three major guarding eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River have indeed committed illegal acts. If none of them are investigated, they will also be given the truth. Yuan Xiong is determined. But our excuse is the same as Taxation has nothing to do with it, but a violation of military discipline. As an imperial envoy, I have the duty to investigate by the way, but I can't deal with him without the order.
Now we need to send people to Beijing to report the matter to the emperor, and arrest people immediately after requesting the order! This matter cannot be hidden from the factory guards at all, so we can only be quick, you pick a few clever ones and return to Beijing immediately, first go to meet Wu Da's head, and then enter the palace to meet the saint."
"Yes!" Liu Biao agreed, then hurriedly turned and left.
Gao Wenxin came out from behind the double wall, blinked and said, "Master, are you preparing officers and soldiers to catch thieves? Then~~~ Brother and sister Zhang Tian invited you to Suzhou tomorrow, are you going?"
Yang Ling stretched his waist and said: "Go, why don't you go, how can the news be sent back so quickly in Beijing? I am very relieved to have Liu Biao guarding here!"
He said seeing Gao Wenxin's Jiangnan girl's attire, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Wonderful, once you wear this dress, you will become a beauty from the water town. I don't think you need to change it. You can wear this dress tomorrow." , hold up your trouser legs, barefoot, let's go boating on Taihu Lake to pick water chestnuts, learn from thatthen" He slapped his forehead and said, "Then who is here?"
Gao Wenxin was so uncomfortable, he couldn't help but blurted out: "Xi Shi Fan Li!"
Yang Ling clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Xi Shi Fan Li!"
He didn't intend to deceive Gao Wenxin, but he couldn't pronounce Dr. Fan's Li characters. After Gao Wenxin said it, he realized that his analogy was a bit inappropriate. If his relationship with Gao Wenxin was compared to Xishi and Fanli, then What has become? So he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gao Wenxin rolled his eyes, and saw Yang Ling smirking badly. Behind him, Zheng Baihu and the others were all pursing their lips tightly, seeming very serious, but their faces were all upturned in a weird way, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed. Like a shrimp, even the neck is red.
