Chapter 470
"With so much tax silver, the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan must not have been shipped out yet."
"Solve the case as soon as possible and recover the losses."
After the ministers headed by Lin Ruopu objectively analyzed all this, the attention of most people present focused on Xu Shan again.
Even Cao Zhengchun and Lin Ruoyun are the same.
Although this guy is crazy, his methods are extremely dirty!
But you have to admit...
He is definitely an expert at solving cases and getting things done.
More importantly, if they let him go and nothing is found in the end, they will have a reason to ruin his reputation and make him lose his job!
Even take responsibility for it!
"I recommend Xu Chenshi for this position. If even Lord Xu can't solve this case in the Ming Dynasty, no one else will be able to do it."
"My lord, second the motion!"
Although they knew it was a case of flattery, Zhu Youwei and Yuan Tiangang also knew at this time that Xu Shan was the most suitable candidate.
"Xu Qing!"
"The minister is here."
"I grant you the Imperial Sword, and you must proceed to Wujin immediately."
"Suzhou Prefecture and its garrison troops and officials are at your disposal. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be executed first and reported later!"
"We must find the tax silver and eliminate the remaining Demon Sealing Clan within a short period of time."
"Yes."
After Zhu Youwei issued this order, several ministers of the Donglin Party were still quite dissatisfied and prepared to speak out, saying that the power given to Xu Shan was too great.
After all, Suzhou Prefecture was one of the important bases of the Donglin Party.
From the prefect to the servant, they are all their people.
If Xu Shan were to take action against them on the pretext of inspecting taxes and silver, the Donglin Party would be in trouble.
However, just as they were about to make any unusual moves, they were stopped by Lin Ruopu with a look.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility!
As long as Xu Shan cannot find the tax silver, when he returns to Beijing, it will be the day for them to settle the score.
Lin Ruopu also had his own plans for this matter.
It is true that the Suzhou Prefecture garrison and officials must cooperate, but how to cooperate is more specific.
We must find the tax money, but it cannot be you, Xu Shan, who finds it first!
Besides, Duke Qing is in charge there.
"Xu Shan, take this token with you as well."
"With this order, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty are at your disposal."
When Xu Shan was about to leave, Yuan Tiangang handed him the ivory badge of the commander of the Pacification Division.
"Thank you, Master Tianshi, for your kindness!"
"Hong Gu, accompany Xu Qing to get the Imperial Sword."
When Zhu Youwei said this, she and Hong Gu made eye contact.
Having served His Majesty for so long, Hong Gu naturally understood and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After the two of them left the Juying Hall, Xu Shan asked softly, "Hong Gu, does His Majesty have anything to tell you?"
Hearing this, Hong Gu nodded with a smile. She was extremely satisfied with this smart, insightful, responsible, and capable son-in-law.
"Suzhou Prefecture has always been one of the strongholds of the Jiangnan gentry."
"Duke Qing, who has retired and returned to his hometown, is the cornerstone of their stability. He is also the Donglin Party's most solid backing in Jiangnan."
"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, Suzhou Prefecture has been nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in reality it has become a local vassal state."
"Its unique geographical location is also one of the reasons why Your Majesty and the Heavenly Master have been hesitant to confront the vassal kings and princes."
Indeed, Suzhou Prefecture is too close to Jinling.
Once Zhu Youwei and Yuan Tianshi go south to forcibly reduce the power of the vassal state, it is very likely that the family will be stolen!
In addition, Suzhou Prefecture is also the base for the entire Jiangnan gentry to have the confidence to disobey the imperial order.
There are troops stationed there all year round, and they only take orders from Duke Qing.
"This case is also an opportunity."
"Your Majesty and the Heavenly Master also hope that Lord Xu will seize this opportunity."
Hearing this, Xu Shan nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
"Please ask Hong Gu to tell His Majesty and the Heavenly Master that I, Xu Shan, will break this game."
"But I need to make some arrangements in advance."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Hong Gu, who clasped her fists and bowed, replied, "From top to bottom, we will fully cooperate with Master Xu's actions in Suzhou."
After taking the imperial sword, Xu Shan hurried out of the palace.
He first said goodbye to his mother, discussed some matters with Qinglong, and then led his troops out of the capital!
