Yang Cong also realized that Jiajing was really too anxious, so he was so happy. No matter what conditions he proposed, the others agreed without hesitation.

However, from Jiajing's perspective, this is not a good thing, because Jiajing is too anxious and will lose patience. If he cannot reverse the situation in the southeast in a short period of time, Jiajing will easily feel dissatisfied. If Jiajing is dissatisfied, Yan Song's party and the wealthy maritime merchants will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

He didn't think that if he could rest assured by Jiajing's approval, he would rest assured. Sometimes, emperors like to go back on their word. You should dare to make them dissatisfied, and others may deal with you at any time.

If someone is the emperor, what can you do to others?

Yang Cong dared not challenge Jiajing's patience. The next morning, he took his family and called Hu Zongxian, and surrounded by a group of guards and Jinyiwei, headed straight to Nanzhili.

As for Chen Lian and his subordinates, he deliberately did not mention it to Jiajing, because it would be better not to ask about this kind of thing.

If someone who is an emperor can send the Jinyiwei to protect you, it means that they look down on you. If you take the initiative to ask someone to send the Jinyiwei to protect you, you will be a little arrogant.

The Jinyiwei is not unable to protect others for full-time protection. However, the Jinyiwei generally protects the royal family members. For example, when the royal family members of the prince were in vassal states, the emperor usually allocated hundreds or even thousands of Jinyiwei to protect him. These Jinyiwei are equivalent to guarding the emperor. In other words, these Jinyiwei will be subordinates of these princes in the future, and are no longer Jinyiwei in the capital. This is also the reason why there are Jinyiwei military households in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the emperor's case of giving the Jinyiwei to a minister as a guard, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has not appeared for so many years. Yang Cong wanted to bring these Jinyiwei with him, but he couldn't mention it directly to Jiajing. If he mentioned it, Jiajing would probably be too worried. Do you think you are the prince of the royal family?

He didn't mention it, but it was fine. Anyway, Jiajing had already sent Chen Lian and Yibai Jinyiwei to him. As long as he didn't say he would take it back, he would keep it with him, and everyone would just be tacit.

Of course, the reason why Jiajing sent these Jinyiwei to him was mainly to protect Lu Ling'er's safety, while he wanted to bring these Jinyiwei to facilitate his actions. With this idea, he could not take the initiative to mention this matter to Jiajing.

Yang Cong and his group had more than a hundred people, riding horses and riding horses, and the speed was relatively fast. They arrived at Jinling City, Nanzhili in about half a month.

Yang Cong still has many old friends in Jinling City, such as Xu Pengju, Xu Yi Bo, Liu Yu, Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing, and Zhang Shiche, Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. Therefore, his power in Jinling City is not worse than Yan Song. On the contrary, with the help of two hidden masters, Xu Pengju, and Liu Yu, the principal of the Ministry of Revenue in Wei, his power in Jinling City is even greater than Yan Song.

This is also the reason why he was confident to come to the Southeast to take charge. He had no acquaintance in Jinling City, and his eyes were dark, so he really didn't dare to take on this hot potato.

After he arrived in Jinling City, the first thing he did was to buy a mansion. There was no way, he had money. At this moment, the salt business in Shanxi had basically been launched. Apart from the expense of manufacturing weapons and equipment and purchasing food and supplies, the Yang family and the Lu family made more than two million taels with net profit alone. The mansion of a few hundred taels or even thousands of taels was not a big deal to him.

Of course, in order to avoid giving people a handle, he had not yet gone to buy the most expensive and luxurious mansion in Jinling City. He just bought a yard covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, which could be used for the group to live in.

After the mansion was completed, he began to visit the big bosses of Yangming's lineage in Jinling City. At this time, the civil servants, military generals, craftsmen and equipment, and elite Shenji Camp in Xuanfu Town also began to rush to Jinling. However, due to the long journey, they brought a lot of supplies, and it would take about a month to arrive in Jinling at the earliest.

During this period, he seemed to have done nothing, except to visit the bosses in Jinling City and rest in the mansion. It gave people the feeling that he had to wait until all the people in Xuanfu Town were in place before he started the action.

Is he really planning that way?

Of course not. Yan Song and the wealthy maritime merchants are in the same group at this moment. His actions in the open are likely to be found by the other party. Moreover, Jiajing's patience is limited. If he does nothing for more than a month after he comes, Jiajing will probably be dissatisfied.

So, he chose to act in secret. On the surface, he seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, on the same day he arrived in Jinling City, he had already secretly started investigating.

What he was looking for was Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates.

Although he had never seen this person, he had seen it in some of his previous life. Generally speaking, this person did not give him the impression of being a bad person. On the contrary, he even felt that this person was a capable person worthy of winning over.

The reason why he told Jiajing that he wanted to recruit pirates was to lay the groundwork for Wang Zhi. This Wang Zhi was a legendary existence that once became king in Japan. If he could recruit this person, then the pirates and Japanese pirates would not be a concern.

What he did secretly was based on rumors he saw in his previous life. The rumors were that Wang Zhi was from Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, and his parents and family were both staying in Huizhou Prefecture and did not go to Japan with him.

If this is true, it will be easy. Just send someone to "invit" his parents and family to Jinling. He doesn't believe it, and this Wang will not take the bait.

He wandered around Jinling for a few days, and the news finally found out.

That afternoon, he was practicing calligraphy with Zhang Zhen and Lu Ling'er in the study. Suddenly, the voice of his confidant Li Jianjiang came from outside: "Sir, Zhang Ping is asking for a meeting."

Zhang Ping is a local snake in Jinling City. His understanding of the entire Nanzhili is better than that of the officials in Jinling City. He also knows more people, and it is much more convenient to inquire about the news. Therefore, Yang Cong asked him to help investigate the situation of Wang Zhi's family.

Since Zhang Ping is here to ask for a meeting, there must be news from Wang Zhi's family. After hearing this, Yang Cong quickly sued Zhang Zhen and Lu Ling'er, and then got up and walked to the reception hall.

After a while, Zhang Ping came to the lobby under the guidance of the guard. As soon as he came in, he bowed with joy and said, "Sir, the situation of Wang Zhi's family has been found out."

Yang Cong was not in a hurry. He raised his hand to signal Zhang Ping to sit down, and ordered someone to take Xiangming. Then he asked: "Where is the Wang Zhi family now? What's the specific situation?"

Zhang Ping hurriedly replied: "Sir, Wang Zhi's family lives in Tuolin's hometown in She County, Huizhou Prefecture. His parents are still alive, and his wife and children are also at home."

The rumors are true. Wang Zhi is so brave that he actually left his parents, wife and children in his hometown, and it will be easy to deal with.

He thought for a while, then whispered to the outside: "Let Chen Lian come here."

There was a saying of obeying the order from outside, and soon Chen Lian walked in quickly and bowed: "Sir, what are you asking?"

Yang Cong pointed at Zhang Ping and ordered: "You bring fifty subordinates to Huizhou with Zhang Ping's people and take Wang Zhi's family over. Remember, be polite to his family. If you can't hurt others, don't hurt others. Also, shine your waist cards so that the neighbors know that this official sent you there."
