105 True Imperial Commissioner
On the official road leading to Xinan in Huizhou Prefecture and She County, I don’t know how many caravans are carrying goods back and forth. The carriages, donkey carriages and rickshaws are just next to each other, just like long dragons with endless heads.
At this moment, the merchants in Huizhou were really developed. The emperor not only issued a new policy to encourage business, but also appointed Wu Yangchun, the daughter of the Wu family in Xinan, as the imperial concubine. They were completely unobstructed on the ground in Nanzhili. I don’t know how many people asked them to do business.
There is no way, they are unique. Master Wu is the father-in-law, so he can reach the heavens!
Who dares to provoke officials from Nanzhili?
Whoever dares to provoke them, they are so excited that they will go to their father-in-law to complain.
What is this businessman most afraid of?
The merchants are afraid of being exploited everywhere!
If no one exploits them, then they won’t make a fortune!
At this moment, Xinan has become the commercial center of the entire Huizhou Prefecture. Whether it is a businessman in Xinan or a businessman in Xinan, he is proud and happy, just like he has been to his father-in-law's hometown, and after he has gained the honor of his father-in-law, his identity is different.
Just as they were covered in spring breeze, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from afar, rumbling like thunder, and at least dozens of riders were running wildly.
Whoever has no eyes dares to run to the south of the river!
It should be impossible for bandits and horse thieves. The new Secretary of War of Nanjing Sun Chuanting is very powerful. As long as bandits and horse thieves appear, they will definitely be wiped out immediately. Therefore, it is safe on the ground in Nanzhili at this moment, and no one robbed them at all.
Question, who are these people?
Before the vendors could figure out what was going on, a scream had already come from the sound of horse hooves: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the imperial envoy is going to drive, the person who hits the rusher will die!"
Damn, it turns out that the imperial envoy is here!
Upon hearing this, a group of vendors quickly ordered people to push all the trucks on the road next to them, and even in the semi-dry and unwet rice fields. No one dared to collide with the imperial envoy, even if he had the support of his father-in-law!
Fortunately, the rice in the fields has been harvested now and the fields have almost dried up. Otherwise, the truck would not be able to push it out if it was stuck.
After a while, more than fifty riders rushed by. The rows of flags inserted on the backs of riders on both sides were enough to prove that they were really an imperial envoy. At least, the merchants on the road could not tell whether they were fake.
Wang Chengen is naturally not a fake imperial envoy. In fact, he doesn’t want to run wildly like this. Why, the emperor is anxious!
War is about to begin in Liaodong, and the emperor is in a hurry to mobilize money and food.
His business was quite good during the period when he was in charge of selling land in Nanzhili, because there were many local tyrants and gentry families here, and the weather was good here and there was no disaster at all.
When it comes to money, not many people may be able to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of taels. When it comes to food, it is simply not too much.
Because there were too many people who exchanged grain for land, he was busy looking for a place to store it in Jinling and preparing for transportation, so he delayed some time.
Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly urge him to return to the capital with money and food.
He had almost hoarded millions of stones of grain, which should be enough. The problem is that the silver is too small, only more than 100,000 taels.
Besides, the emperor told him that he had to come to Huizhou, so he rushed over in a hurry.
He rushed over with his men and horses, but he was shocked by the Jinyiwei who stayed in the Wu family in Xinan.
These Jinyiwei dare not be careless because the father-in-law was so rich. Especially after the emperor married the imperial concubine, the Wu family in Xinan was so much money that it was so scary.
Not to mention those precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the Wu family’s silver treasury alone has millions of taels of silver deposit!
Of course, not all of these money belongs to the Wu family, and many merchants with good relationships with the Wu family also deposit it here.
Because it's safe here!
Just kidding, the emperor's master of Jinyiwei is here to guard it. Who dares to come here to steal the money? No one dares to steal it!
These people did this, which really made Jiang Liu, the Jinyiwei who was responsible for guarding the 12th floor of the Wu family, both happy and worried.
The emperor told him to guard the Wu family, and he would definitely not dare to let the Wu family make any forks.
The problem is that people always send money here, which attracts thieves to worry about it!
Everyone knows that the twelfth floor of the Wu family is so scary. If some lifeless thieves are concerned about it, it will be a big trouble.
He had no choice but to do this.
My father-in-law agreed, what else can he say?
Fortunately, the father-in-law is really good to them. Not only are he offering big fish and meat every day, but he also gets extra rewards. For example, the father-in-law gives him at least a few hundred taels a month, and he also has a reward of hundreds of taels a month.
Alas, this is a job.
We are not here to make money, okay?
Just as he was sitting in the duty room specially repaired by his father-in-law, sighing happily, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.
What's going on?
He was one of the secret spies of the Jinyiwei who followed Luo Sigong to die in North Korea. He was so familiar with the sound of horse hooves.
As soon as the sound of horse hooves came into his ears, he instantly judged that at least fifty horses were rushing towards this side, with the target of 80% being the Wu family in Xinan.
There are more than fifty people in our country, and there are more than fifty people opposite us. No one really wants to come to the Wu family to rob!
Thinking of this, he stood up and ran outside and shouted, "Hurry, everyone, gather, go out with me."
"Wow", more than 20 Jinyiwei who were changing guards immediately rushed out of the surrounding buildings.
Jiang Liu didn't say anything anymore, so he took them straight toward the gate.
They had just arrived at the gate and could vaguely see the people running on the street in front of them.
Jiang Liu quickly raised his hand and said, "Distract the defense and be careful not to be hit."
After saying that, he pulled out his sword and stood on the steps in front of the gate.
"Clang clang clang", other Jinyiwei also pulled out their swords and spread them along the wall.
It is impossible for cavalry to hit the wall by hitting horses, so as long as they are not too far from the wall, they should not hit the wall by hitting horses.
Sure enough, the group of people who were running wildly began to slow down from a distance. When they arrived in front of the gate, everyone strangled the horse under their crotch.
Jiang Liu was stunned when he saw the dense flags on the people's backs.
The imperial envoy sent by the emperor!
True or fake?
Others may not think that someone dares to impersonate the imperial envoy, but he does not think so, because this is obviously not a formal flag issued by the Ministry of War and the cabinet.
He can also make a lot of blank flags. It doesn’t matter what they write on them. When they perform tasks, they often write according to their identity.
He was stunned for a moment, then raised his sword and shouted, "Who dares to trespass the mansion of my father-in-law."
Well, time is rushed, so no one is sent to notify you in advance.
Wang Chengen is so embarrassed.
Seeing this, Chen Huo immediately shouted angrily: "Rareless, Eunuch Wang is the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, what is your attitude?"
What is my attitude?
You said the imperial envoy was the imperial envoy, what if it wasn't?
Jiang Liu said coldly: "Imperial envoy? Where is the imperial edict?"
Wang Chengen had no choice but to turn over and dismount, remove the Shangfang sword on his waist, and carefully handed it over, then explained: "The emperor did not give the imperial edict. This is the imperial sword given to Shangfang. You should know it."
Shangfang Sword?
This is a bit similar!
He also guarded the emperor for a long time, so he naturally had seen his sword.
Jiang Liu slowly put away his sword, took the sword carefully, pulled out half of it, hurriedly stuffed it back, knelt on one knee, raised the sword over his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the imperial envoy arrives, I will be offensive, I hope he can forgive me."
This is a true imperial envoy. This sword is the one the emperor often wears!
