Chapter 9: The Southern Tour of the Messenger (Three)

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone in with the transparent glass from the porthole, and the huge cabin was filled with soft light.

Zhu Yinglong was the first to wake up. Looking back on the absurdity of last night, Zhu Yinglong could only look at his two sleeping pretty faces and smiled bitterly. He is a dignified king of a country and claims to be smart in daily life, but why did he let the two women plot against him?

How many men can resist the beauty at present? No wonder the beauty trick can occupy a place in Sun Tzu's Art of War 36, because she is directly effective, and sometimes she still keeps up like a moth to the flame even though she knows it.

Since everything has been sat down, there is no room for regret. It seems that there is no need to be an ascetic along the way. The southern tour of the sub-dresses may turn into a erotic journey.

Going south, passing through Luoyang, Kaifeng, and when he arrived, the Yinlong Villa had become a huge palace. Kaifeng Prefecture had to allocate some funds every year to continuously repair and improve the buildings of the villa. Zhu Yinglong had not returned to Kaifeng for more than ten years. This time, he stayed in Kaifeng for three days. Now Kaifeng City is much more lively and prosperous than it was a decade ago. The streets have changed a lot, and many faces are invisible. There are more and more strange and young faces. The children who were selected to study in Yinlong Villa were also grown up one by one. Many of them have become parents and officials of every prefecture and county, some have become soldiers, become generals, and some are active in all walks of life.

Zhu Yinglong did not live in Yinlong Villa, but continued south along the canal and soon arrived at the city of Yangzhou with flowers blooming!

The lingering and affectionate along the way, Zhu Yinglong seemed to have forgotten Shu a little joy. On this day, he remembered that Xu Guangqi handed over several letters of anonymous reporting to him before leaving, but as soon as he left the capital, he threw it behind and hadn't come to see it yet!

"Green Xiaoshuo Sayings Network" read at night. When Zhu Yinglong opened the files and anonymous letters of complaints one by one, he had reached the point of his determination and could not help but frown his eyebrows.

The files and anonymous letters may be just the tip of the iceberg, and there seems to be a very large network from the capital to the local area to commit crimes. Why? Smuggling!

All that was found on the file was small minions, who were dead and missing, especially in recent years, Shanghai Customs officials have been repeatedly killed and disappeared. Although these cases were investigated by the Customs Inspection Brigade one by one, they were all left unresolved in the end. Perhaps it was because of this that caused the cabinet's suspicion. The customs tax revenue is steadily increasing every year, and there is no problem. Therefore, even if the cabinet doubts, it is difficult to investigate with great fanfare. Although the anonymous letter of complaint is just a few words, a huge smuggling network can be seen from its context.

Moreover, there is an invisible force behind these cases, that is, the royal relatives, the water is too muddy and too deep, and even the cabinet dare not enter easily.

Since Shadows split up, part of the Military Intelligence Department has been established, and the other part has become the Supervision Department under the Ministry of Justice. Although the two departments were once one, their functions have changed. The Military Intelligence Department is the intelligence agency of the army. Most of them focus on military and military and political intelligence work in the enemy country. The Supervision Department is an organization that supervises domestic and supervises officials. Of course, the emperor has two directly affiliated intelligence agencies, one is the Meihua Inner Guard, whose members are basically all beautiful women. This organization is semi-public, and the Military Intelligence Department also knows it, and sometimes cooperates with each other. The other is the Eagle Guard, which is the most mysterious Hawk and Dog organization around the emperor. It was composed of some eunuchs at the beginning, but now it has evolved into a mysterious intelligence organization. Only the emperor knows its organization and members. It is another pair of eyes hidden in the darkness of the emperor.

Of course, no matter how many of these intelligence agencies are, it is not omnipotent. The Ming Dynasty is so big and the people are so many. Can everyone monitor it? Especially if there is corruption from the inside, it is even more difficult to guard against. The fortresses are all broken from the inside!

There are two royal relatives involved in the customs. One is the Shen family. Chen Jian, the son of Chen Xi, is now the deputy director of the Customs Department of the Ming Empire, and the other is the imperial concubine Tian family. Tian Wan, who has made great efforts in helping Zhu Yinglong ascend the throne, is the emperor's brother-in-law, and is currently the Shanghai Customs Chief, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other provinces, all of which are in his hands. He can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the Jiangnan officialdom!

Both families are now strong and have mixed forces, connecting the capital and the lower part. In addition, there is also a part of the Shen family secret camp in the predecessor of the Shadow. Now many children who were once the Shen family secret camp are still serving in the two departments. If it were the Shen family, it would be very likely that they would help the former master conceal everything, and the court would naturally not know.

Although the Tian family is also in a high position and powerful position, it is difficult to hide it from the eyes of the two departments, if they are afraid that it will be difficult to do without the Shen family's resources.

Therefore, Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt suspicious and came to the Shen family.
