"My lord, you are aware of it and I am innocent. What happened yesterday has nothing to do with me. I am completely unaware of it!"

From the relevant inventory reported by Jinling Jinyiwei in the capital, the name of that hundred households could not be found at all. However, after all, this was a senior official of Jinyiwei. At most, it took some time to check. At this time, Zhao Banhe came over to cry and complained, which was obviously not a fight.

Self-inflicted.

So Chen Zhao frowned and asked: "Your own subordinates, if you say you don't know, who will believe it?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhao's words, Zhao Banhe's body trembled, and he couldn't help but kowtow. His forehead was red and bleeding for a while, and he said with tears on his face: "I'm not afraid of adults' jokes. Although I am a thousand-year-old, my foundation is shallow.

These hundreds of households were all brought in by others. The villain cannot offend those people and cannot control them. Sir, the villain is vulgar and useless and is embarrassing, so the adults just punish him, but this matter really has nothing to do with the villain, so why not?

Please check it out."

After all, spying on imperial envoys is not good for high-ranking Jinyiwei officials. Such a crime was caught by Jinyiwei colleague Chen Zhao, who was known as the "tiger in the quiet streets of Beijing" and "the master of salt merchants in Yangzhou". Not only did he lose his head, but also the whole family.

Afraid of suffering.

However, the dignified Jin Yiwei Qianhu was so cowardly, which made Chen Zhao feel very uncomfortable, but he also knew that it was definitely not Zhao Banhe who was spying on him.

How could he let his subordinates spy on Shangguan and not know how to cover it up?

No matter how stupid Jinyiwei Qianhu is, he can't do such a thing.

So he casually comforted Zhao Banhe with a few words, and then said: "You came so early, so you can have breakfast with me."

Zhao Banhe had also heard of Chen Zhao's methods and knew about his thunderous methods yesterday. He was originally scared to death and came to plead guilty early in the morning. Unexpectedly, after listening to his own explanation, Mr. Chen not only comforted him, but also treated him to food.

After breakfast, Zhao Banhe burst into tears of gratitude for a moment, feeling very flattered.

In fact, Chen Zhao has roughly understood. He knows that Zhao Banhe is a bit useless. He can't control the hundreds of households under him, and they don't take him seriously.

Since he is so cowardly, it means someone is using him as a gunman.

If this were in the capital, even if Zhao Banhe was Sha Jinrui's brother, Chen Zhao would tell him to get out immediately.

But now, Chen Zhao has to win over him.

The meal was very simple, just soy milk, sesame seed cakes and a few side dishes. However, Zhao Banhe ate it extremely sweet and said as he ate:

"My lord, when you come to Jinling, the food is so simple. I am really ashamed of myself. The duck blood vermicelli soup by the Qinhuai River and the butter cake made by Aunt Zhuzi are the best breakfasts in Jinling City. You must try it."

Chen Zhao smiled and asked: "Zhao Qianhu has a cloth shop in the city, right? How is the business?"

When asked about this, Zhao Banhe hurriedly stood up. Seeing that Chen Zhao's expression was kind and did not seem to mean anything else, he spoke:

"Thanks to your lord, the business is pretty good. As a member of the army, we are a little more convenient on the road. We can also make money by transporting it from Songjiang and selling it everywhere!"

"Jinling is a famous city in the world with convenient transportation. Zhao Qianhu's business is a bit cramped. The three major trading companies of Antarctic Goose, Civet Civet and Miaomiaodong all have connections in the Yangtze River Basin. We can cooperate with each other and communicate with each other!"

These three major trading companies have been established for several years, based in Yangzhou. In the past year or so, they have opened countless stores in the north and south of the Yangtze River. They have gradually become one of the most famous trading companies in the world. The birth of a child can be said to be powerful in the world. Jinling City is well-informed and well-informed.

Being close to the canal, we naturally know the status of the three major trading companies in the north-south trade and their relationship with Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao said this, which is to promote Zhao Banhe to make a fortune.

Zhao Banhe sat there for a moment, then knelt down again, kowtowed with tears in his eyes and said:

"My lord is so magnanimous, but my subordinates are so negligent. I am really ashamed. I am hosting a banquet on the Qinhuai River tonight to wash away my lord's dust. It is also to forgive me for my previous neglect and hope that your lord will honor me before doing so."

go!"

Since Zhao Banhe wanted to make up for it, Chen Zhao naturally agreed with a smile.

After breakfast, two other Qianhu households, Pang Qingshan and Meng Xianhui, also came to visit them. After coming in, they also knelt down to apologize. Chen Zhao also received them with a smile.

But what Pang Qingshan said made Chen Zhao frown a little.

"Sir, the head of the family is based in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has to pay attention to every disturbance, so when the imperial envoy arrived in Jinling, the head of the house sent someone to take a look out of concern, which may have caused the master to misunderstand. This is the fault of his subordinates. He did not know that here.

If you apologize to the adults, the head of the family will also send someone over."

"Wait, your master? Who is your master?"

Chen Zhao frowned and interrupted Pang Qingshan. Pang Qingshan kowtowed again and said respectfully:

"Xia Guan is from Chang Lin Bo's house, so Chang Lin Bo is naturally the head of the villain's family."

Chen Zhao nodded, his face as usual, but he didn't think so in his heart.

The Jinyiwei are the personal soldiers of the emperor, but the thousands of Jinyiwei families do not regard their fellow Jinyiwei as superior officials, and regard them as the head of the family. This is really new.

It's like later generations of state ministries and commissions' division-level cadres who felt that the senior officials in their departments were not their leaders, but the commander of the military region in his hometown was his leader.

If he dared to say this publicly, he would probably be kicked off the same day.

I didn't expect that this was so common in the Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that Pang Qingshan was neither humble nor arrogant, Chen Zhao didn't say much, and just said: "In that case, I know it, and Pang Qianhu also informed your family head that I don't need any care from my side, just forget about this concern.

!”

Pang Qingshan kowtowed, said "I understand", and then stood up.

As for Meng Xianhui's reason for coming, it was even simpler. Hearing that something happened yesterday, he was really frightened, so he came over and asked his retinue to accompany him, just to be safe.

Should I use your retinue to accompany you?

Who knows if there will be a fire in the inn where I stay tomorrow?

Could it be that the imperial court could turn Jinling into Shantou?

So Chen Zhao said calmly: "I know what you two are thinking. I can take care of it myself. You can do your job well."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After these three thousand households had left, Chen Zhao arranged to send a dozen eloquent people with money to the Jinyiwei Archives Department, and there

People in Jinyi and pro-army groups drank and chatted, and the more news they got, the better.

In addition, he ordered the important people to do their own work. When everyone else left and only Han Xiaozhong was left, Chen Zhao looked at his old brother and smiled calmly: "These guys are so lawless that they really think that they are too lazy to take care of them as they are too lazy to take care of them."

?"

Xu Ziling and Lin Fei are both good-looking characters. They selected smart people to go to the Jinyi Guards. After a drink, they soon became good brothers. After a lot of chatting, everyone wanted to chop off the chicken's head.

I became a brother, so I quickly found out some information.

Both Pang Qingshan and Meng Xianhui were very strict with the thousands of households under their control, and they were also skillful. However, although Zhao Banhe's uncle and father had meritorious service in the war and were members of the Jin Yiwei, he had been pampered since he was a child, because the one who came out to support the family was

As a man, he can only chase a duck and go into battle.

As a result, Zhao Banhe couldn't stand up in Jinyiwei because of his pampering, and he seemed weak. He was not as good as a hundred households, but fortunately he had done some business, which was enough for him to live and entertain.

Since he is so cowardly, it is easy for the nobles of Jinling to insert their hands, so naturally he can do it safely.

Of course, Zhao Banhe is not a born cheap guy. He also wants to seize power, but he is not good at it and cannot compete with others, so he can only focus on business.

It was getting late when Zhao Banhe came and personally invited Chen Zhao to the banquet.

This guy has booked the Qinglian Boat, the largest painted boat on the Qinhuai River, to welcome Shangguan.

When preparing to leave, Chen Zhao smiled and said to Han Xiaozhong: "I am the right governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Jiangnan. Why doesn't Shi Shilun give me the chance to wash the dust? Ying Tianfu doesn't give me the chance to take the wind and wash the dust. Instead, I am a part-time Jinyiwei.

Will someone give me a chance to wash away the dust?"

Han Xiaozhong joked: "If this Shi Shilun can help you, I'm afraid this reputation will spread to Java Island the next day, and you will be able to shine through the ages."

"Hahaha, you mean Shi Shilun is stingy?"

"Sir, please don't slander me, I don't dare to arrange Shi Qingtian."

"Hahaha……"

The Qinhuai River is the most romantic place in the world and a gold-selling cave for wealthy families. Even people who have never been to Jinling have heard of the reputation of the Qinhuai River and can imagine the scenery on the Qinhuai River.

Chen Zhao agreed to Zhao Banhe's invitation and went to the Qinglian Boat on the Qinhuai River. It was not surprising that everyone came there.

Even Xia Ruoqing, Qingwen and others who were taking care of him were not surprised.

These days, it is common for men to go to Qinhuaihe River to discuss business, especially young high-ranking officials like Chen Zhao who are brave and capable in both civil and military affairs. They are even more popular among the girls in Qinhuaihe River.

On the surface, it is a young man who is romantic, and his poems and lyrics can be remembered forever. In fact, it is a young man who is rich and does not know how to be frugal, and likes to throw money into the gold sales cave.

Almost all the eight beauties of Qinhuai in the pre-Ming Dynasty had a good story with the romantic scholars. They were not only the men they wanted to marry, but also a large number of their colleagues who wanted to take money from these romantic scholars.

There are rumors in the market that the brothels and boats on the Qinhuai River are not the best places for romance. Only some unknown and mysterious places are the places where the top nobles and nobles find ecstasy.

This is actually just a rumor.

Any era is the age of advertising. Only when you know more can you become famous, and when you are famous can you get money from people who come here because of your fame.

Without fame, it can only be regarded as a meteor, fleeting.

The Green Lotus Boat is a two-story painting boat that docks under the Lotus Tower during the day. Guests who spend a lot of money have a banquet and listen to music on the Green Lotus Boat, and then return to the Lotus Tower to have fun.

Zhao Banhe came to pick up Chen Zhao when it was getting dark. He kowtowed in the morning and apologized. At noon, people from three major trading companies came to contact him and finalized several businesses. These businesses that were negotiated were destined to make a lot of money, and his own business would

Go up a level.

Zhao Banhe couldn't help being happy. He thought something bad was going to fall from the sky, but what he didn't expect was a huge pie. So when he saw Chen Zhao, his attitude was even more respectful.

Chen Zhao went to the next group surrounded by personal guards, "Sir, there will be at most two groups following you tonight, stay far away, and be careful!"

Halfway through the journey, Xu Ziling rode his horse and approached to report. Chen Zhao nodded but did not respond.

"I heard that the Qinhuai River is the largest gold-selling cave in the south of the Yangtze River. How much money does it cost to have a meal of fine wine here?"

"My lord is just joking. I'm here to help you, so why bother talking about money?"
