In the main hall, Li Eel changed his seat and sat quietly.

Behind him, a man who looked like a salt boy and a butler stood with their hands in their hands, and when they heard the sound of cannons outside, both of them trembled, but they quickly recovered.

The butler listened to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer outside, and lowered his head and said:

"Boss, it seems that the officers and soldiers have broken through the wall and are coming this way, you are right, they have really stormed in."

Li Eel nodded slightly, his face was still calm, took a cup of tea, and asked:

"How's it going?"

Yan Ding hurriedly replied: "I don't know yet, I have ordered someone to set fire to the backyard and salt farm, and the account books and official documents are burning quickly." ”

Li Eel let out an "um" and sat there with his eyes closed.

As soon as the words fell, there was a brief shouting outside, and the screams of a dozen salt ladies came in, followed by the sound of hurried and uneasy footsteps.

Leaning less, the face of a young general appeared in the hall.

The person who came was the son of Yang Zhaoji, and the current Yidu of Qingzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province guarded Yang Yufan.

He was followed by several thousand generals, and after entering the door, he didn't ask the master, but led the officers and soldiers into the room and arrested all the people who could see it.

The salters didn't resist for long, and their combat effectiveness was not proportional after all, which may be the only thing Li Eel didn't expect.

It may be that the combat effectiveness of this official army is too strong, or it may be that Li Eel overestimated the brave and ruthless people under his command who only know how to bully the people, anyway, when the officers and soldiers came in, except for a slight resistance at the gate, everything else was in place.

The more than 300 salt dings he had in Haiyang in the past were almost powerless in the face of this army of only more than 2,000 people.

He thought that he would be able to buy himself some time.

Now it seems that he can only rely on the will of heaven, everything that should be done has been done, what can be burned and how much he can burn, he can't control it now.

"Search for me! I don't believe that this Li Eel is the only one, there must be other conspirators..."Yang Yufan put away his knife, looked around the hall a few times, and said loudly:

"One counts as one, and I will search out all the bedbugs in the places where they are against the imperial court, and as soon as the evidence is found, the stolen goods will be seized and handed over to the Minister of Salt for disposal!"

The two thousand presidents shouted a respectful order, and each took his family down.

At this time, Yang Yufan turned his head to look at Li Eel, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and said, "Take it down!" ”

When the words landed, the two family members stepped forward and escorted the family and the housekeeper behind Li Eel respectively, without leaving the slightest emotion.

Li Eel didn't say anything, because it was useless to say more at this time.

He still held the cup of tea in his hand, but the faint ripples on the tea surface showed that his heart at this time was not as calm as it seemed.

"Xiao Yang Shuai, my Haiyang Salt Farm is running salt for the official family!"

"Now that you have forcibly entered my salt farm, killed my salt ding, and oppressed the people along the coast, if you can't find anything, do you know how serious your sin will be?"

Li Yi looked at Yang Yufan, who did not reply, and sneered:

"You don't know, it seems that Yang Shuai didn't teach you how to deal with people like us, you are not only sending yourself to a dead end, but also putting your father's years of hard work into the fire!"

"Such a crime, even if Qi Jiguang is alive, he will not escape death!"

Yang Yufan only glanced at Li Eel at this time, saw the coercive and seductive look on his face, smiled, found a seat next to him and sat down, and said:

"You tell me about my father?"

"Then let me tell you, I am here today, if my father comes, he will not say half a word to you, he will do the same!"

"Oppressing the coastal people? Li Eel, Li Dashanren——! ”

"All along, it has been you salt farm owners who have bullied them, and you still want local powers, right?"

Yang Yufan slapped his hand on the table, swept the tea bowl to the ground, and said loudly:

"These people don't know anything, they just want to sell salt to make a living, and the new salt law promulgated by the imperial court is to integrate the old salt policy that has been erosive for many years, so as to give people everywhere a way to live."

"It's better for you to spread rumors, trying to use the people to fight against the court and incite the people to make trouble, so that you can be cannon fodder to save your lives."

"If it weren't for the dictatorship of His Majesty today, the princes of the court would dare to do anything, but I am afraid that you would have to wait for it!"

Speaking of this, Yang Yufan even took the case, turned his back to Li Eel, stretched out his hand and said:

"You don't have to say anything to me, even if you can't find evidence today, the guilt will all be borne by me, and Yidu Garrison Yang Yufan will bear it alone!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and stared at Li Eel, his face full of murder:

"But if the evidence is found, I promise to report this evidence to the court exactly to ensure that your entire clan is destroyed!"

Hearing this, Li Eel understood.

This Yang Yufan was not impulsive, although he was only fifteen years old, he clearly understood the consequences of doing this.

"Xiao Shuai!"

At this time, a thousand general manager ran back, followed by four or five family members, carrying a large box, and said excitedly: "We have found all of them in the treasury!" ”

"When I went, there were still people burning official documents and account books, and they all told us to intercept them, all here!"

Li Eel was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't know what he had found, so he was still able to sit on the chair and stretch out his neck to look over there.

Yang Yufan immediately went over, ordered someone to open the box, squatted down and picked up those account books and official documents to look through, only to see that there were several copies of them, clearly marked.

"In the twentieth year of Wanli, I lost 300,000 stones of official salt with the Zhao family..."Yang Yufan saw this, turned his head and asked: "Zhao family, is it the Zhao family in Laiyang?" ”

Mr. Qian nodded, a little puzzled.

"Xiaoshuai, as far as the last general knows, the Zhao family does not have a salt merchant salt, I am afraid that Li Eel privately made profits with official salt, and with this article, he can be convicted!"

Hearing this, Li Eel trembled, and finally collapsed on the seat.

"In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, 140,000 stones of good green salt were entered..."Yang Yufan picked it up and looked at it, and saw that the back had been burned out and could not be seen, so he turned his head and asked:

"Li Eel, where are these green salts?"

Li Eel glanced at this side silently, but did not reply.

Yang Yufan was not without surprise, turned around and slammed the account book in his hand on Li E's face, and sneered: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, whether you say it or not, it has no impact at all!" ”

"Ben Jiang can't kill you now, but I was ordered to guard the salt farm, and I already have the right to arrest people!"

Yang Yufan turned around and left, saying as he walked: "Spread the proclamation to the coastal people, just say that this Li Eel has a human face and a beast's heart, and uses the gimmick of salt for the imperial court administrator to do his own business. ”

"Over the years, the Li family has privately bought and sold and hoarded countless official salts, and this time the imperial court's notice on the salt law was also changed by him, not a real new salt law."

Mr. Qian hesitated a little and confirmed:

"Xiaoshuai, can you say this kind of thing directly, let's wait for the official document of the Minister of Salt from the imperial court to arrive!"

Yang Yufan glanced at him and said:

"Now that the people see this kind of chaos, they must be worried, if they don't quickly make a list to calm the people, sooner or later there will be chaos, you still don't understand the meaning of Your Majesty's holy decree?"

"We and other generals from all over the country have the right to re-issue the notice!"
