Looking at the accounts in his hand, Tang Yuan's face showed a trace of solemnity.

Why is this thing in Lu Tianxing's hands?

Could it be that Cangxing Chao had premeditated.

Tang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly stretched out again.

On the side, Zhu Gaozhuo couldn't understand what he heard, but he probably guessed something in his heart, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

I never thought that the salt tax account would be in Lu Tianxing's hands.

At this time, Lu Tianxing looked at Tang Yuan and said, "Tong Baichuan, you don't have to be afraid, someone will deal with him." Now, you must make this evidence ironclad, and then present it to Your Majesty. ”

"Why don't you borrow the hand of the year like a pine?"

Tang Yuan asked.

Seeing the contents of the accounts, he was reluctant to meddle in this matter, but in the face of Lu Tianxing, he obviously had no choice.

Zhu Gaozhuo's heart trembled when he heard this.

Lu Tianxing glanced at Tang Yuan meaningfully, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything.

After all, this is no small matter.

The matter involves the crown prince.

It is already commendable that Tang Yuan can still be indifferent.

"Whatever you want. ”

Lu Tianxing said lightly: "How you do this, I don't care, as long as Your Majesty knows." ”

Tang Yuan nodded suddenly.

"However, even if these accounts become ironclad evidence, they will not pose any threat to the crown prince, it involves the eighth prince, and His Majesty loves the eighth prince, so you don't have to worry about what to do later. ”

Lu Tianxing looked at Tang Yuan and admonished.

Today, he came over to know that Tang Yuan was facing a predicament, so he sent the accounts over.

These accounts have been prepared for today......

Zhu Gaozhuo's heart was pounding, and he really regretted not leaving in time.

How is it still related to the crown prince and the eighth prince?

It caught him off guard.

Tang Yuan glanced back at him and shook his head slightly.

However, Zhu Gaozhuo was still worried.

Lu Tianxing ignored it, and after only informing him of the matter, he said: "This matter must be done before Your Majesty goes to Jiangnan." ”

"What!"

Tang Yuan was taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty wants to go down to Jiangnan?"

I can't help but be surprised that Tang Yuan has never heard rumors that His Majesty has gone to Jiangnan.

Zhu Gaozhuo was not too strange, and said in a low voice on the side: "In the past, Your Majesty also went to Jiangnan more, which is a normal thing, but Your Majesty didn't go to Jiangnan last year, and it is time to go to Jiangnan this year." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yuan's eyes changed.

Once Emperor Qiandi arrived in Jiangnan, he couldn't be too presumptuous.

"I wonder when Your Majesty will go to Jiangnan?"

Tang Yuan hurriedly asked.

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "It's not decided yet, but it's probably only about a month, so you have to hurry." ”

Tang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "In other words, Xiaguan still has a month, it is not easy to destroy the Sea Shark Gang, it is basically impossible, Lord Lu is a bit strong." ”

"If you wait for Your Majesty to go to Jiangnan, you can tell Your Majesty about this matter again, but do you dare?"

Lu Tianxing thought about it and knew that he was indeed in a bit of a hurry, so he changed his words and then said.

Hearing this, Tang Yuan's face changed for a while.

He didn't want to face Emperor Qian.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

He develops in a low-key manner, has the help of the system, and one day he can stand at the peak of the great cadres.

Once facing Emperor Qian, and impeaching the eighth prince and the crown prince, it is tantamount to participating in the battle for succession, isn't it looking for death.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is still gone." ”

"We'll talk about that later. ”

Lu Tianxing didn't persecute him, but just said lightly.

As for what he thought in his heart, it was not something that Tang Yuan could know.

"I don't know what happened when Your Majesty went to Jiangnan this time?"

Tang Yuan asked with a slight raised eyebrow.

Lu Tianxing's eyelids drooped slightly, and he shook his head slightly and did not say anything to Tang Yuan.

And Tang Yuan could obviously feel that Lu Tianxing still knew the truth, but I was afraid that it was not what he should know.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan smiled and didn't ask more.

"Inform you of this, but don't spread the word, when Your Majesty arrives in Jiangnan, the world will be shaken. ”

Lu Tianxing stood up, looked at Tang Yuan and said, "This official will leave first, be sure to hurry up, but you must be foolproof, even if you wait until Your Majesty arrives in Jiangnan, it will be fine." ”

"Xiaguan Province. ”

Tang Yuan bowed.

Lu Tianxing nodded slightly and left directly.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the mansion.

Tang Yuan looked at the back of Lu Tianxing leaving, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Today, he really knows a lot of secrets.

I never expected His Majesty to go down to Jiangnan.

Then, we must pay attention to it for the next period of time, and we must not be too public, so as not to be remembered by Emperor Qian.

Tang Yuan did not leave, but sat on the main seat and said, "Lord Zhu, please take a seat, you and I will discuss it." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo bowed, and became more and more respectful to Tang Yuan.

Looking at it today, the relationship between Tang Yuan and Lu Tianxing is obviously extraordinary.

Moreover, Master Lu personally handed over the evidence to Tang Yuan, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

Tang Yuan held a few account books in his hands, stunned.

"Your Excellency. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo saw that Tang Yuan was stunned, and suddenly spoke.

Tang Yuan shook his head.

"My lord, I wonder what the hell is in here?"

Zhu Gaozhuo asked curiously.

He only knew that the contents of the accounts were extraordinary.

Tang Yuan laughed, knowing that Zhu Gaozhuo's heart was itchy and curious about the contents of the accounts, so he threw a few account books to Zhu Gaozhuo and said, "Lord Zhu might as well take a look at it yourself." ”

Zhu Gaozhuo hurriedly took it, did not hesitate, opened the account and looked at it carefully.

However, when he saw half of it, Zhu Gaozhuo was immediately horrified.

"My lord, this ......"

Zhu Gaozhuo's face was full of shock, and he said, "How can the salt tax silver flow to the Sifang Building?"

"As you can see, every year the money from the salt tax goes to the square building. ”

Tang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, recognized it, and said, "In other words, the Eighth Prince must be in the know. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo was shocked.

If you guess correctly, the eighth prince is the crown prince's person.

Could it be that all this money was taken by the prince as his own.

It's not impossible.

Tang Yuan glanced at Zhu Gaozhuo and said lightly, "Lord Zhu guessed?"

Zhu Gaozhuo smiled bitterly.

He really didn't want to guess, and he didn't want to participate.

But he and Tang Yuan are grasshoppers on the same rope, and once Tang Yuan gets involved, he can't avoid it.

So, Zhu Gaozhuo asked: "Lord Tang really wants to continue to investigate, involving the crown prince, does the lord want to participate in the battle for the heir? These silver must be used by the prince for the sake of the heir, if the adult is caught in the dispute for the heir, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Tang Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Didn't Lord Zhu hear what Lord Lu said today, does Lord Zhu still have a choice?"

"This ......"

Zhu Gaozhuo hesitated for a while, thinking back to Lu Tianxing's words, it seemed that the wind was light, but in fact he was persecuting Tang Yuan.

No wonder!

However, why did Lord Lu target the prince?

For Zhu Gaozhuo, Tang Yuan was still relatively relieved, and he would not disobey himself, as if he saw his doubts, so he explained: "This matter is complicated, in fact, the matter of this official being the head arrester in Fufeng County, Ningzhou, has already found out about the case of illegal salt. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of one thing, but he didn't say much, waiting for Tang Yuan's next words.

Tang Yuan continued: "And the Jianghu force that trafficks illicit salt is the Supreme Alliance, and the Gu family and the Xie family seem to have also been involved, and later this official was appointed as the deputy chief arrester of Hanzhou, responsible for investigating illicit salt, and Xiao Hongyun was transferred, in fact, it was not a derogation but a protection.

Because from the beginning, they knew that the private salt would involve the prince, and if Xiao Hongyun really wanted to investigate, he would definitely die, so the official was sent over. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of fierceness in the depths of his eyes.

Zhu Gaozhuo's heart moved.

No wonder when Tang Yuan first arrived in Hanzhou, he would investigate the death of Lord Bai Shao as soon as possible, probably in order to cover up people's eyes, and later beheaded him and Nian Mingcheng, also to win the right to the six doors of Hanzhou.

Only by controlling the entire Hanzhou can we have the strength to fight against the Sea Shark Gang.

"Adults know from the beginning?"

Zhu Gaozhuo asked.

"Not bad. ”

Tang Yuan nodded and said, "When I was in Ningzhou, this official knew that the case of private salt was related to the prince, but there was no real evidence, and I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Mr. Cang." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaozhuo was shocked.

Really!

Mr. Cang wanted to deal with the prince, no wonder he faintly heard the six doors of the god hunting Liu Xiang standing on the side of the four princes a few days ago.

This is to support the four princes and deal with the crown prince together.

Now, the third and fourth princes are also showing signs of joining forces.

If it is rumored that the case of illicit salt is related to the crown prince, and he takes in the benefits of it, the consequences are really unimaginable.

But it doesn't seem to be much of a threat to the crown prince.

The power of the crown prince in the DPRK and China has long been deep-rooted, and it is far from being something that ordinary people can shake.

"And what are you going to do next?"

Zhu Gaozhuo asked curiously.

Tang Yuan didn't answer, one hand tapped on the table, and gradually pondered.

He wanted to poke this matter through Nian Rusong.

On the one hand, he fulfilled the task of Cangxing Dynasty, and on the other hand, he did not get involved too deeply, so as not to put himself in it.

But Nian Rusong is not easy to fool there.

So this matter is still more troublesome.

Tang Yuan looked at Zhu Gaozhuo and asked, "I wonder if Lord Zhu has an idea?"

Zhu Gaozhuo was stunned, thinking that Tang Yuan was joking, but seeing that his face was full of seriousness, he pondered and said: "Through these accounts, it can't be concluded that the prince is involved in private salt, but Sifanglou can't escape the involvement. ”

"What do you mean?"

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he already had an answer in his heart.

"Give these accounts to Nian Rusong, I will assist in six doors, first check the Sifang Building, and then don't mention the prince, let Nian Rusong report the matter to His Majesty, and I can get out of it, and there is no prince involved, which can be regarded as minimizing the risk." ”

Zhu Gaozhuo pondered for a long time before saying.

Tang Yuan rubbed his chin, nodded slightly, and said, "This is reasonable, then let Nian Rusong get this credit." ”

Zhu Gaozhuo smiled bitterly, and gloated: "The lower officials think that Nian Rusong probably doesn't want to take this credit, it's too hot." ”

"Haha!"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

It does make sense.

Even if he is upright, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, and no one wants to participate in the succession, unless he is bent on following the dragon's ministers.

And most of these people are ill-intentioned.

On the other hand, Nian Rusong is an honest official, upright, but he definitely does not want to offend the prince, the future lord of the world.

But this matter is not up to him.

Tang Yuan decided to hand over the accounts to Nian Rusong, and then it was up to him how to deal with them.

Immediately afterward, Tang Yuan put the matter aside, looked at Zhu Gaozhuo and asked, "Lord Zhu, Your Majesty will go down to Jiangnan every two years?"

He's been haunted by the matter.

Zhu Gaozhuo said: "This is not a certain thing, every few years will indeed go down to Jiangnan, the year before last, His Majesty only went to Jiangnan, I didn't expect to go to Jiangnan again this year, but the news of Lord Lu should be accurate." ”

Tang Yuan nodded slightly.

also knows that Lu Tianxing will not deceive himself because of this matter.

"Your Majesty went to Jiangnan to play?"

Tang Yuan asked suspiciously.

He had to figure it out.

"Not really. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo thought for a while, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty will go to Jiangnan every year to play, but the purpose should not be to play. ”

"What's that for?"

Tang Yuan hurriedly asked.

Zhu Gaozhuo smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Tang, this is a bit embarrassing to get off the official, the lower official really doesn't know anything about this matter, as for what His Majesty went to Jiangnan for, I'm afraid only a few people can know." ”

"Really?" Tang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Even so, he didn't ask any more.

In the meantime, he had to deal with the Sea Shark Gang.

"Let's go!"

Tang Yuan stood up and said to Zhu Gaozhuo with a light snort: "I'll wait for a trip to the Salt Division and inform Lord Nian Rusong of this matter." ”

"Huh. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo had nothing to do, and said with a smile: "Nian is going to have a headache." ”

"Then it's not for me to worry about. ”

Tang Yuan walked straight out.

It didn't take long for the two to be ushered into the salt division.

Seeing the two of them arriving together, Nian Rusong rarely showed a smile on his face, but he could still see that he had been frowning just now, thinking that he was worried about how to investigate the case of illegal salt.

Now, Nian Rusong faintly felt that His Majesty sent him to Hanzhou to inspect the salt, and I am afraid that it was premeditated.

If he can't investigate clearly, His Majesty will make him look good.

"I don't know why Lord Tang came here today?"

Nian Rusong beckoned the two to sit down and asked curiously.

Tang Yuan sat down, didn't immediately take out the accounts, looked at Nian Rusong and asked, "I don't know if Lord Nian has made progress recently?"

Nian Rusong shook his head and said: "In previous years, Meng Yuan collected the salt tax, but this year Meng Yuan was imprisoned, and the official strength was not enough, so he could only pay the salt tax first before he had time to investigate the case of illegal salt." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yuan nodded slightly.

This is the way it should be.

You can't afford to lose sight of one or the other.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan appeared in his hand with the basic account books, pushed them in front of Nian Rusong and said, "These accounts, Lord Nian might as well flip through them." ”

Nian Rusong was slightly stunned and asked, "This is?"

Tang Yuan didn't answer, just looked at the accounts.

Nian Rusong frowned and immediately opened the accounts.

When he saw it, he was suddenly startled and looked up at Tang Yuan.

Then, keep looking.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became.

"Where did Lord Tang get this account book?"

Nian Rusong hurriedly asked.

Tang Yuan shook his head slightly, obviously not meaning to answer, but said: "Lord Nian, with this account book, I wonder if I can solve the problem of adults?"

Where is the solution to the problem?

It's clear that another bigger problem has been lost.

"Lord Tang, this is another problem for the official. ”

After reading it, Nian Rusong said with an ugly face.
