Involved in government affairs?

Fang Wenhan thought to himself in his heart, then looked at Tang Yuan and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Lord Tang is talking about?"

In the capital, he heard that this son has a strong personality and tough methods.

How could he suddenly be consulted?

Today, this son visited him, and it was already abnormal.

"There is no way to do this. ”

Tang Yuan bowed his hand and said solemnly.

"Oh?"

Fang Wenhan was even more surprised, "I don't know why it is to make Lord Tang so solemn." ”

Tang Yuan thought about it, decided not to take a detour, and said directly: "The Sea Shark Gang relied on the joint operation of salt with the Salt Division, secretly intercepted refined salt, and collaborated with all parties to traffick illicit salt;

When Xia Guan was in Ningzhou, he found out that the world would be trafficking in illicit salt, and you must know that our dynasty has very strict control over salt, so much salt is left outside, and even does not know where to go.

It can be said that my Great Qianchao suffered heavy losses, so the lower officials decided to investigate the case of the Sea Shark Gang trafficking illicit salt, and hoped that Fang Assassin Shi Duoduo would support it. ”

Fang Wenhan was not too surprised by the Sea Shark Gang's trafficking of illicit salt, because this was not an unusual thing at all.

The forces of the rivers and lakes trafficked illicit salt, and under normal circumstances, the imperial court knew about it, but it still turned a blind eye.

Of course.

If it is more serious, it is necessary to investigate it clearly, and it is not impossible to tear the skin in the end, the key is whether the imperial court can withstand the verbal and written criticism of the Jianghu forces, and even the conflict by force.

Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts!

It's not just talking.

It's just that when Fang Wenhan responded, he changed his tone again, and said with a shocked face: "Is this really true? The Sea Shark Gang is really lawless, Your Majesty has been gracious, Tong Baichuan actually didn't know how to thank Your Majesty for his kindness, and did such a deceitful and rebellious thing, and the crime should be punished." ”

Zhu Gaozhuo, who had been sitting silently on the side, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard Fang Wenhan's righteous words.

Fool whom?

I'm afraid I already knew.

Still acting.

Tang Yuan's face did not change, and then said, "So, Lord Fang is supporting the lower officials to investigate the Sea Shark Gang?"

This matter is not trivial, Lord Fang is the chief official of Hanzhou, and the lower officials must seek the opinion of Lord Shi. ”

"Huh. ”

Fang Wenhan smiled awkwardly and said: "The Sea Shark Gang's crime of trafficking in illicit salt is not punishable, but after all, it is a force in the rivers and lakes, and this official is in charge of the affairs of Hanzhou, and he is responsible for the affairs of Hanzhou, but he can't interfere in the affairs of martial arts." This matter is the responsibility of Lord Tang, and there is no need to ask this official for instructions. ”

He can't easily meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, when it comes to salt taxes, it is not trivial.

In fact, it is not a secret that the Sea Shark Gang is indeed trafficking illicit salt, and Your Majesty may have heard of it, but for some reason, Your Majesty's attitude has been ambiguous and unpredictable.

Because of this, even if they knew that the Sea Shark Gang was in the private salt business, the court and the princes did not impeach him.

And so that it intensified.

"Lord Fang misunderstood, the lower official asked the lord, not to investigate the Sea Shark Gang, but to hope that the lord can investigate the salt division, I don't know what Lord Fang wants?"

Tang Yuan smiled and said solemnly.

Fang Wenhan's face changed slightly, he glanced at Tang Yuan deeply, and muttered for a long time before he said: "This official is the first assassin of Hanzhou, and he knows very little about Hanzhou, and he has to rely on many colleagues to help, if he investigates the Salt Division at this time, I am afraid that it will cause controversy, and this official will also be impeached by the imperial history, I hope Lord Tang will forgive me." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Yuan knew that Fang Wenhan was refusing.

Tang Yuan thought about it, but he didn't think of any good reason, so Fang Wenhan agreed to intervene in the investigation of the Salt Division.

As long as he can justify the investigation of the salt division.

Then you are not afraid that you will not find evidence.

It's just that Fang Wenhan didn't agree, so there was no better way.

The other party Wen Han refused, but he had expected it, so he was not too disappointed, so he said: "In this case, the lower official will retire first, and I hope that Lord Fang can keep this matter secret, so as not to let the Sea Shark Gang be alert." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Tang, this official is not a talkative person, but it is really not appropriate for this official to interfere in this matter, which disappoints Lord Tang. ”

Fang Wenhan stood up and said politely to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan nodded, and left with Zhu Gaozhuo.

Zhu Gaozhuo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tang Yuan's eyes.

Fang Wenhan didn't send him off, he lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Wait!"

When Tang Yuan and the others were about to walk out of the side hall, Fang Wenhan suddenly stopped the two.

Tang Yuan turned his head in confusion and asked, "What else does Lord Fang command?"

Fang Wenhan thought for a while and said, "If Lord Tang really wants to investigate the Salt Division, you might as well wait for Lord Songnian to patrol the Salt Imperial History, and he will arrive in Hanzhou in a few months."

Lord Nian is in charge of inspecting salt affairs, and this time he went to Hanzhou mainly to collect salt taxes and supervise the monopoly of salt merchants, which was personally dispatched by His Majesty, although the grade is not as good as this official, but in salt affairs, he has absolute power of life and death. ”

Tang Yuan was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know what the character of this young man is?"

The position of patrolling the salt imperial history is mainly to inspect the salt affairs, patrol and arrest the illegal salt, and the authority is very great.

However.

This position is actually a temporary position.

Not long-lasting.

Every year to patrol the salt, a minister will be temporarily dispatched to inspect the salt imperial history and inspect the salt affairs in the south of the Yangtze River.

Especially Hanzhou.

This is also because the salt tax accounts for a disproportionately high proportion of the tax revenue.

The imperial court is also afraid that the people below will fill their pockets and overflow with private salt.

Pity.

He didn't know Nian Rusong.

Nian Rusong probably didn't pay attention to him at all.

The court hall and the six doors have always been well water, not river water, and there is no close connection.

Tang Yuan didn't have any power in the court.

Therefore, Fang Wenhan's mention of the imperial history of patrolling salt did not have much effect on Tang Yuan.

Still, you have to give it a try.

Tang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you Lord Fang for reminding me, the lower officials should keep it in mind and wait for Lord Nian to arrive in Hanzhou." ”

"Yes. ”

Fang Wenhan bowed slightly.

Watching Tang Yuan leave, Fang Wenhan's brows furrowed.

Before entering Hanzhou, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asked him to befriend Tang Yuan.

However, when it comes to illicit salt, he does not dare to set foot in it.

In case of......

The latter is a kind reminder, which is also to form a good relationship with Tang Yuan.

"My lord, Fang Wenhan actually doesn't want to help, he is a member of the four princes. ”

The two of them left the Assassin's Mansion, and Zhu Gaozhuo said in a low voice with an ugly face.

He thought that Fang Wenhan would look at the face of the four princes and support them to investigate the Yan Division, at least he should build a bridge.

"It is precisely because everyone knows that he is the person of the Four Emperors that he does not dare to conflict with the Salt Division, otherwise the doubts that those imperial historians in the court will be able to impeach the Four Emperors. ”

Tang Yuan knew Fang Wenhan's distress, shook his head and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he can't, and Mr. Cang won't choose to stop supporting the four princes because of this trivial matter." ”

"Then we really have to wait for the year to be pine?" Zhu Gaozhuo said.

Tang Yuan muttered: "You go and investigate what personality Nian Rusong has, what preferences he has, and who he is, and find out these things clearly, and we can do what he likes." ”

"Good!"

Zhu Gaozhuo responded.

After returning to the Liumen Mansion, Zhu Gaozhuo immediately went to investigate Nian Rusong.

With the ability of the Six Doors secret agent, Nian Rusong's information was sent to Tang Yuan not long after.

Tang Yuan flipped through the dossier.

Zhu Gaozhuo, who was standing next to him, said: "According to the dossier, Nian Rusong is just upright, and it is difficult for adults to do what they like, and this person has a withdrawn personality and moves less with the ministers of the DPRK and China, so it should be difficult to get along."

If we sell illicit salt to the Sea Shark Gang and collude with the Salt Division, Nian Rusong may not believe us, not to mention that we belong to the Six Gates, and then there is a conflict between the adults and the Sea Shark Gang, it will be more troublesome. ”

"Really?"

Tang Yuan frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then let Nian Rusong find out for himself, if he is really upright, can he still sit back and watch the Yansi and the Sea Shark Gang collude?"

Zhu Gaozhuo nodded clearly, he understood what Tang Yuan meant, it was nothing more than spreading the news, regardless of whether it was true or not, Nian Rusong would definitely investigate it thoroughly at that time.

At that time, once the forces of the rivers and lakes are involved, Nian Rusong will inevitably go to the six doors for help.

"It's a method, pure conspiracy. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo smiled and said.

The reason why no one has dared to touch the Salt Division is because the Salt Division has always been valued by His Majesty.

Those people are afraid of your majesty, where will they look for bad luck.

That's why Tang Yuan dared to do this kind of thing.

"Then wait. ”

Tang Yuan put down the file in his hand and chuckled: "Lord Zhu must always pay attention to the movements of Lord Nian, and spread the news before he arrives in Hanzhou, and when he enters Hanzhou, it is best for this news to spread throughout Hanzhou." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo arched his hand and said.

Tang Yuan waved his hand and asked Zhu Gaozhuo to leave.

In the next month, Tang Yuan didn't have anything to do.

Tang Yuan gave Lu Tianxing a letter of repair, hoping to use Lu Tianxing's face to send Akang to Saibei to join the army.

repaired the book again and asked Gu Sanniang and Li Feiyu to come to Hanzhou.

A few days later, Tang Yuan sat in the hall.

Gu Sanniang and the other four sat down.

Tang Yuan took out two copies of Blood Bodhi and handed them to Li Feiyu and Gu Sanniang.

With the qualifications of the two of them, with the help of the effect of Blood Bodhi, they will definitely be able to break through the Yuan Shen Realm, but it is just a matter of time.

"Ninth Master, this is ......"

Gu Sanniang only felt the majestic energy, and suddenly asked dumbly.

At this time, Hou Yuanqing explained from the side.

And he broke through the Yuan Shen Realm again, and his persuasion was even stronger.

Li Feiyu's eyes lit up slightly, and the hand holding the sword was slightly hard.

"Thank you, Ninth Master. ”

The two hugged their fists.

Tang Yuan waved his hand, disapproving, and then said, "I don't know where Chengwu has been training." ”

The crowd was silent.

I really don't know.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan didn't investigate.

If Li Chengwu has a chance, he will not interfere at will.

Then, Tang Yuan handed over the Northern Spiritual Skill to the two of them.

He also instructed that no one who had seen the Northern Shengong should be allowed to live.

The next day, Gu Sanniang and Li Feiyu left quietly.

After all, the two went to Hanzhou secretly.

Their relationship with Tang Yuan is best not exposed.

If you have the heart to investigate, you can indeed find out.

He was accompanied by Akang.

Lu Tianxing promised to make proper arrangements for Akang.

For Tang Yuan's simple request, Lu Tianxing had no reason to refuse.

"This time Ah Kang left, with the martial arts taught by Tang Yuan, he will definitely be able to break through in the army. ”

Hou Yuanqing looked at the back of the three of them leaving and said with a smile.

"If that's the case, that's great. ”

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "The reason why Ah Kang was placed in the army is that I also hope that he can take charge of the army alone in the future, which will be of great benefit to us.

Moreover, there are many wars in Sebei and constant friction with foreign races, and it is not without opportunities. ”

Tang Yuan was still very confident in Ah Kang.

In terms of martial arts, Akang has no shortage, and Wu Mu's suicide note to help, and he has been learning the art of war during this time, and with the help of Lu Tianxing, I believe that Akang will always be able to make a name for himself.

This is also Tang Yuan's expectation of Akang.

As for how far he can get mixed in the end, it all depends on his own efforts.

"Brother Tang is far-sighted. ”

Hou Yuanqing complimented.

He said this on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart.

To do so is to plant people in the army.

Fortunately, this matter was arranged by Lu Tianxing.

If it is handed over to others, Tang Yuan will inevitably be reprimanded, and he will be dismissed in serious cases.

"Here's to you. ”

Tang Yuan suddenly had two more cheats in his hand, threw them to Hou Yuanqing, and said: "After remembering them, destroy the cheats, don't let Shaolin find out." ”

Hou Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the two cheats in his hand.

It turned out to be a seventy-two stunt.

Hou Yuanqing was pleasantly surprised, bowed to Tang Yuan and said, "Thank you Brother Tang for your generosity." ”

Tang Yuan walked into the mansion and waved his hand with his back to Hou Yuanqing, not paying attention.

With his current strength and eyesight, he really doesn't look down on Shaolin 72 stunts.

The key is that many martial arts of Shaolin 72 stunts need to be proficient in Buddhism.

It is also impossible for him to consult the Raushzi Sutra.

Isn't that a waste of time?

And Hou Yuanqing was originally a disciple of King Kong Temple, and no one is more suitable than him.

Hou Yuanqing couldn't wait to return to the house, opened the two seventy-two stunts, and concentrated on it.

"It is worthy of being the secret of Shaolin. ”

Hou Yuanqing said shockingly.

In this way, the rest of the month passed in a flash.

Tang Yuan stayed in the mansion all the time, and during this period, he refined a Blood Bodhi.

Let him improve his skills a lot.

However, it is still far from breaking through the Transformation God Realm.

Walking out of the cultivation room, Tang Yuan called Zhu Gaozhuo over.

That's when I learned about what had happened in recent times.

"Nian Rusong will arrive in Hanzhou in about three days, and then he will first go to the Assassin's Mansion to meet Fang Wenhan, and then he will sit in the Yamen of the Salt Division, start collecting this year's salt tax, and finally go to Yangzhou to supervise the three major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo said truthfully to Tang Yuan.

This is what he has investigated in the past few days.

It made Tang Yuan look at Zhu Gaozhuo with admiration.

In the future, he may not be able to be put in the position of chief arrester in Hanzhou.

It's a pity that the strength is a little worse.

There is still time to make up for it.

"Has the news gotten out?"

Tang Yuan asked.

Zhu Gaozhuo said in a low voice: "According to the words of the adults, the lower officials entrusted the beggar disciples to quietly spread some gossip, I believe that after Nian Rusong arrives in Hanzhou City, the entire Hanzhou City will be in an uproar." ”

"Not bad!"

Tang Yuan chuckled lightly and nodded slightly, he was quite satisfied with what Zhu Gaozhuo had done.

"By the way, there is another matter that the lower official wants to report to the lord. ”

Zhu Gaozhuo suddenly remembered something and said solemnly to Tang Yuan.

"Oh?"

Tang Yuan was surprised: "What's the matter?"

During this time, he had been cultivating and did not pay much attention to the outside world.

Zhu Gaozhuo immediately said: "The Sea Shark Gang has killed two Concentration Realm elders one after another, I heard that it was the Nine Absolute Palace's arrows, and now the Sea Shark Gang is also in a hurry, and ordered the people of the Nine Absolute Palaces to be wanted, and there is a faint momentum of uniting the Jiangnan Martial Arts forces to crusade against the Nine Absolute Palace." ”
