Qin Beixiong thought about it, but he didn't show whether he believed it or not, and asked, "What happened later?"

"The lower officials thought that the alien race was our great enemy, and the imperial court explicitly forbade the smuggling of salt to the alien race, so the lower official began to investigate. Tang Yuan said righteously.

"Not selfish at all?"

Qin Beixiong laughed.

But he didn't blame either.

Tang Yuan was originally born in the rivers and lakes recklessly, and he was unruly, so it was probably impossible for him to be beaten back.

And for good reason.

"My lord, take a look at this account first. ”

Tang Yuan handed over an account book to Qin Beixiong and said, "This is one of the account books of Pang Ze's transactions with foreign races, please take a look."

Qin Beixiong's eyes froze, and he casually opened it and looked at it carefully.

"Hmph, that's true!"

Qin Beixiong snorted coldly and said angrily: "These people in the rivers and lakes have been digging the foundation of the Great Cadres, and they really have no king's law. ”

Seeing this, Tang Yuan's expression moved slightly.

Qin Beixiong didn't seem to know.

You go on. Qin Beixiong said in a deep voice.

Obviously, there was anger in the tone.

He believed that Tang Yuan would not come to the state capital government for the sake of just one Pang Ze.

In the back, there must be standing the Supreme League.

As a result, the Supreme League may be involved in the trafficking of illicit salt.

That's the big deal.

However, what was even more terrifying was that Qin Beixiong obviously couldn't guess.

He didn't think about why the Supreme Alliance was able to silently send salt across the hinterland of Daqian to the land of Saibei.

"Presumably, my lord expected it, yes, the Supreme Alliance is also involved in the trafficking of illicit salt. ”

Tang Yuan looked at Qin Beixiong and nodded, affirming what he was thinking.

After a pause, Tang Yuan said in a deep voice: "However, there is an internal reason for this matter, which is even more terrifying. ”

"What else?"

Hearing that the Supreme League was involved, Qin Beixiong's reaction was not shocked but angry, and he was angry to the extreme.

"Your Excellency, please look at this account book. ”

Tang Yuan didn't explain, first handed the account book to Qin Beixiong, and then fell silent and didn't speak.

"What kind of ledger is this?"

Qin Beixiong squinted his eyes, flipped through the account book, and asked Tang Yuan.

"The lower officials investigated the truth of the Supreme League's trafficking in illicit salt, but they only took 30% of the profits, and the remaining 70% of the profits all went to one place. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan deliberately glanced at the account book, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Square Building!"

Qin Beixiong put down the account book, and after saying the Sifang Building, he was silent for a long time.

After a while, Qin Beixiong said slowly: "You should know whose property the Sifang Building is. ”

Tang Yuan said bluntly: "I heard that it is an industry under the name of the Eighth Prince, and the business is very large, and in the former hometown of Xiaguan, there are square buildings in that kind of small place, and its scale can be imagined, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is blooming everywhere in Daqian." ”

"Then do you know who he is?" Qin Beixiong said in a deep voice.

Tang Yuan arched his hand and said: "I only learned a while ago that the eighth prince is known as the prince's money bag, in charge of the prince's mansion, obsessed with business, and has no intention of court. ”

After the words fell, Tang Yuan immediately said: This account is not the original, but copied, which is not enough to be called evidence. “

"You!"

Qin Beixiong asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Tang Yuan did not answer Qin Beixiong's question, but said bluntly: "From this account, it can be inferred that Sifanglou participated in it, and the instruction should be the Eighth Prince, that is to say, the Eighth Princes and the Supreme Alliance joined forces to traffic illicit salt, the Supreme Alliance took three points of profits, and the Eighth Prince took seven points of profits, and it is still a mystery where this money ended up." And what role the crown prince played, it is even more debatable. ”

"That's it!"

Qin Beixiong slapped the table violently and stopped.

Tang Yuan immediately stopped talking, looked at Qin Beixiong with a smile, and did not continue.

"This matter is very important, you must not speak to outsiders, you know this matter, I know, these two account books are placed with me, and you are not allowed to take them away. Qin Beixiong said in an almost commanding tone.

"The lower officials should strictly obey the orders of the adults. ”

Tang Yuan smiled and arched his hand: "When the official speculated on these secrets, he also jumped down, but he thought that he still wanted to report it to the adult, so he came to Ningzhou City." If the adult feels that it is not appropriate to continue to investigate, then the lower official will never mention this matter in the future. ”

"You're really giving me a big problem. Qin Beixiong sighed and said: "Under normal circumstances, I will not interfere in the trafficking of illicit salt by the forces of the rivers and lakes in the six gates, and you may not know this matter when you first enter the six gates."

But now that you have made this matter clear, if I ignore it, it will be a dereliction of duty if I am found to be a derelict official in the future, and I will be condemned if I can't say anything about it. ”

"Lord Law bothered. ”

Tang Yuan suggested: "It's better for Lord Qin to immediately report this matter to the six gates of the capital, and how to deal with it at that time is decided by the Chief Arrester, and it has nothing to do with us, and whether to investigate or not is up to the Chief Arrester." ”

"Humph!"

Qin Beixiong glared at Tang Yuan angrily, and said angrily: "So, this official said that you gave me a problem. Once this matter is stabbed by the official himself, within an hour, the entire capital will know about it, and I will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Although this official is in the Yuan Shen Realm, he can't stand up to the power of the crown prince, not to mention that His Majesty's attitude is not yet known. Of course, don't be happy, you won't be able to escape at that time, and the prince will point the finger at you and me. ”

"That's not if the lower officials and the adults join forces to break the situation, why should my martial artists be afraid?"

Tang Yuan chuckled, without fear on his face, and asked rhetorically.

"It is worthy of being reckless in the rivers and lakes, and there is no reverence for imperial power. ”

Qin Beixiong snorted and said: "The crown prince is the prince, the future co-lord of the world, how can he disobey at will." ”

Having said that, Qin Beixiong obviously didn't mean to blame Tang Yuan.

"What did the Lord decide to do?" Tang Yuan asked.

Qin Beixiong pondered for a long time and said: "This matter still has to be reported to the chief arrester, but I can't enter Beijing, so I can only write a letter, plus these two account books, and submit it." ”

"What do you think the Lord will do?" Tang Yuan asked.

Qin Beixiong said: "I can't say for sure, but this official knows that after His Majesty knows about this matter, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly, but the prince will still be safe and sound, and the worst result will be confinement for three months." ”

"So light?"

Tang Yuan frowned and said, "This is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. ”

"The crown prince is the prince, his status is extraordinary, and if he doesn't really anger His Majesty, he will generally be fine. ”

Qin Beixiong shook his head slightly, and said: "You don't know Your Majesty, he has rebellious scales, and he will die if he touches it, but this is definitely not the case, that is to say, he can't shake the foundation of the prince, and you and I may have endless trouble." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yuan's brows furrowed deeply.

"However, the arrow has to be sent, since you have informed this official, this official has no reason not to report the arrest of the lord. ”

After speaking, Qin Beixiong stood up, prepared the pen and ink, looked at Tang Yuan and said: "When the letter is written, you also have to sign it below, and you and I will jointly write a letter to make this matter known to the general arrest." ”

"That's how it should be!" Tang Yuan didn't refuse, and bowed slightly.
