"He is in the capital, that's all." Liu Zheng said, "Master Wang regards him as a treasure and is the most careful."
"Because he can predict the future?"
"Yes, he has a 'Heavenly Book' in his secret collection. Mr. Wang specially asked someone to steal it and copy a copy, but it is full of symbols and no one can understand it."
It is not surprising to be able to predict the future. This is an essential skill for time travellers. As for this "heavenly book", it is possible that it is a record of historical events written in code, used as a reminder for this Hearthstone Taoist.
Xu Xu raised many questions about Zhou Lezhi, but Liu Zheng's knowledge was limited. In particular, no useful information can be provided about this person's current whereabouts. Allowed to feel slightly disappointed.
He suppressed his eagerness to catch Zhou Lezhi and continued to interrogate patiently.
The next focus is Liu Wei¡¯s activities in Guangdong. As a "Taoist of Wood and Stone", Liu Wei was very active in Guangdong, and many things left his traces. However, no matter how many cases were solved initially, the Foreign Intelligence Agency finally caught this big fish and would not let it go.
Liu Wei did not hide anything, and immediately listed all his activities in Guangdong, from the earliest Lingao incident to the latest fake drug case. The more Xu Xu listened, the more moved he became. It was just a case of Lingao and witchcraft. He had read all the files on the case in detail. Only this case of counterfeit drugs has always been confusing. Now from Liu Zhen, we probably know that this case was also handled by Zhou Le, and he made huge profits by trafficking "Kun Yao" and remaking it.
Xu Xu was shocked to hear it, but he didn¡¯t expect it to happen like this! This week Le Zhi is really evil, and he knows the loopholes of the Senate team very well. No wonder many people in the Senate have always suspected that the counterfeit drug case is being manipulated by senator-level insiders - they are so professional in what they do!
Wang Yehao was originally just a mediocre senior bureaucrat in the late Ming Dynasty. His ability to explode with such great energy was all due to the help of Zhou Lezhi. No wonder Liu Wei said "it is regarded as a treasure".
He suddenly realized that he had also picked up a treasure. This Liu Zheng can provide much more than the kidnapping case. Especially the inside story of Shi Weng Group is simply priceless.
"However, these past events involve a wide range of things and are endless to talk about. For now, his task is to find out the organizational structure and personnel composition of the Shi Weng Group, and at the same time figure out what is going on with the disagreement between Eunuch Yang and his son mentioned in the reports of Min Zhanlian and Leng Ningyun, so as to re-evaluate their relationship. The value of cooperation. If necessary, sanctions will be imposed.
"What's going on with Eunuch Yang and his son? Did Eunuch Yang get involved in the kidnapping?"
"They have been at odds with each other for many days." Liu Zheng immediately told the story of the disagreement between Eunuch Yang and his son, "This time, it was he who provided Delong with one hundred thousand silver"
"How did he know that you were going to tie Leng Ningyun's ticket?"
"He doesn't know, but he is quite familiar with Eunuch Cao, and Eunuch Cao is a relative of Cao Sheng."
"Cao Sheng is your friend again?"
"Yes, we often cooperate and do some business."
"It's also a business to invite the God of Wealth."
Liu Zheng chuckled and acquiesced.
It was through Cao Sheng that Little Eunuch Yang got in touch with Liu Wei.
"Later on, Eunuch Yang and Eunuch Wang also developed a relationship. So they started to communicate openly. But neither Eunuch Wang nor Eunuch Yang knew that we had known each other for a long time."
"Why did Mr. Wang have a relationship with Eunuch Yang?" Xu Xu was puzzled. Although Eunuch Yang was considered a "real power figure" in the palace, he was not a key department and had very little influence in front of the emperor.
"It's for trafficking in goods."
Because of his relationship with Leng Ningyun, Eunuch Yang was able to directly order a large amount of rare "Australian goods" from Lingao. Apart from being used for bribes, Eunuch Yang himself could not use these Australian goods, and he had no channels to sell them.
" Mr. Wang is interested in this, so he went to curry favor with Eunuch Yang. He can get Australian goods from Eunuch Yang every month. If he resells them, he can make a lot of money"
Xu Xu couldn¡¯t laugh or cry, no wonder Leng Ningyun¡¯s ¡°Australian treasures¡± business has been so good in recent years! I originally thought that the eunuch group in the palace had strong spending power, but I didn¡¯t expect that the real big distributor was Shi Weng! For a moment, he felt that the world was simply an absurd drama.
"Mr. Wang has saved a lot, right?"
¡°I don¡¯t know exactly how much I earned,¡± Liu Zheng sneered, ¡°It has nothing to do with me.¡±
It seems that he didn¡¯t get much benefit. Xu Xu thought and said deliberately: "Probably Yang Tianliang didn't get much benefit either. "
"He has been dissatisfied with this godfather for a long time. Eunuch Yang is in charge of the big money. Without errands, he can't make a penny and can only make some outside money."
"Including inviting the God of Wealth with you?"
"yes."
To be honest, Xu Xu was quite surprised to cooperate with them in "inviting the God of Wealth". Not to mention people like Liu Zhen, he is a hero in his own right and a hawk dog raised by the imperial court. He has no sense of right and wrong or honor. Although this Yang Tianliang was an eunuch, he was also an "official" of good character. It was not uncommon for him to engage in corruption and bribery, but it was somewhat shocking to conspire to kidnap him.
"Which gods of wealth do you invite?" Xu Xu started to gossip.
"That's a lot." Liu Wei chuckled, "Do you also want to invite the God of Wealth?"
"Of course, we also want to invite the emperor, the greatest god of wealth in the world."
"Sir, I must also know that there are the most wealthy people in this capital. There are high-ranking officials, nobles and powerful officials, giant businessmen there are countless of them. But most of these people we cannot afford to offend. So we invite the God of Wealth. People who don¡¯t have money or power.¡±
There are many such people in the capital. For example, the kuding in the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, the clerks in various government offices, the eunuchs guarding the warehouses Although they are all inconspicuous low-level officials, they have great potential for success. Especially Kuding, who guards various official warehouses in the capital, blatantly steals inventory materials and resells them, which is an open secret. The richest household member, Yin Kuding, has a family fortune of tens of thousands of taels.
"Kudin Hubu? Is he the one who stuffed money into the valley?"
"It turns out that sir also knows about this."
"I've heard about it for a long time."
The God of Wealth invited by Liu Zheng and Little Yang Eunuch was not Hubu Kuding - because it was already known to everyone that they were rich, and there were too many people watching from inside and outside the capital, so Kuding had a strong sense of precaution, and he was usually very cautious. They formed a gang and hired bodyguards to protect them. On weekdays, we are also heavily guarded at home, and we don't even go out for a moment.
Liu Zheng and Young Eunuch Yang took a unique approach and specially invited the eunuch God of Wealth.
There are also many warehouses in the imperial city of the capital. The most famous ones are the ten royal warehouses known as the location of Xishiku in the old time. They are named A-ziku, B-ziku, C-ziku, D-ziku, E-ziku, Chengyun library, Guangying library, Guanghui library, Guangji library and stolen goods and punishment library. Each warehouse stores materials sent in tribute from various places and is exclusively for royal use.
The "A" library stores medicinal materials; the "B" library mainly stores various papers and the fat jackets worn by sergeants; the "C" library stores natural silk cotton and Heluo silk strings from the south and cotton from the north; the "D" library stores It stores raw lacquer, tung oil, white linen, yellow wax, cowhide, deerskin, isinglass, raw and cooked iron and other items; the "Wuzi warehouse" mainly stores armor, bows, arrows, knives and other weapons; the "carrying warehouse" mainly stores yellow and white raw silk "Guangying library" mainly stores various kinds of plain silk, Hangzhou yarn, green fine cotton cloth; "Guanghui library" mainly stores colorful woven handkerchiefs, combed and pressed brushes, Qian Guansha and so on; "Guangji library" mainly stores Gunpowder is stored, and stolen goods are stored in the "stolen penalty warehouse".
Each of the ten warehouses is large in scale and is connected with one building after another. The stored goods are even more abundant. Some warehouses have not been opened for many years, and the stored goods have deteriorated. Over the years, the inventory of supplies has long become a mess.
Naturally, such a situation opens the door to theft. As treasury personnel, Zhangku, Tieku, Qianshu, Kuding and others will naturally not give up such an opportunity to make a fortune. The eunuch who was in charge of the storehouse was even more aggressive in reselling the inventory.
Eunuchs are far more greedy for money than ordinary people, because they are people with no roots and no descendants. They can only rely on money. Regardless of their status, they all focus on amassing money. Even ordinary eunuchs must try to save money to prepare for their old age after they leave the palace. Naturally, the eunuch who serves as the treasurer will not give up such a great opportunity. Therefore, you will get a lot of money every time.
Most of these eunuchs are not powerful eunuchs, so if you kidnap them, you don¡¯t have to worry about being traced later.
Yang Tianliang spotted the "business opportunities" and specifically provided information to Liu Wei. Liu Zhen organized people to search for things according to the map, and each time he tied them accurately, he could make a lot of money every time. The two of them "add two to one and make five".
This business went very smoothly, and I made tens of thousands of dollars.
"It's just that later we invited more eunuchs, and these eunuchs were on guard. This business didn't do much anymore" Liu Zheng said, "Little Eunuch Yang also said that this was not a long-term solution, and he wanted to find a way to get ahead. Otherwise, he said If you follow your adoptive father like this, you will see no future."
Yang Tianliang is already in his thirties. If he continues to hang out like this, it is unlikely that he will become the chief case officer or manager of the twenty-four yamen based on his adoptive father's position in the palace. The emperor is still young, so there should be no accidents in being emperor for another twenty years. This also means that the eunuchs from Prince Xin's palace will have to be in power for at least twenty years.
Even if a new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Eunuch Yang and his son will already have become extremely outdated figures.
"That's all for Eunuch Yang. He is already half buried. Little Eunuch Yang still has half his life to live."
If you want to find a way out, you have to bribe heavily.
"He searched many ways and spent a lot of money, and finally found a way with the eunuch Wang Zhixin, the eunuch Bingbi. The eunuch Wang promised him that as long as he brought 20,000 taels of silver, he would be appointed as the imperial eunuch. If he is an official, he will be transferred to another position and then be guaranteed to serve as a guard eunuch."?Ten years.
