"Xiao Yao, this stinky boy, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! It's so far to the East China Sea, and it can still make such a big move for us! Wu Mingche scolded with a smile.

"Pity Xu Jingcheng, originally he was still far away from Jinling and didn't involve party strife, but now he was pulled to King Xing's side, it seems that we have to be more careful in the future." Huang Faqu was a little worried.

"Isn't your son already on Xiao Shilang's side? I heard that he was still treated obediently, and now he still wants to protect himself? Wu Mingche glanced at him with a little meaning.

"General Wu, what do you mean by this, the old man is loyal to the emperor, he can only lead troops to fight, and he never interferes in court politics! No matter who my son is under him, I will discipline him in the same way! Huang Faqu was a little anxious.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help myself when the time comes, how could Xu Jingcheng, such a careful person, be dragged into the water by Xiao Yao so easily? Xiao Yao has only been training in the East China Sea for three or four days, what happened over there? Wu Mingche couldn't figure it out.

"Alas, it's a pity that this Xiao Shilang is from King Xing's side, you must know that King Xing is not a prince, he has been orderly since ancient times!" Huang Faqu said regretfully.

"Yo, didn't General Huang just say that he would not interfere in the politics of the court? What, now worry about your son? Wu Mingche said with a wicked smile.

"I, I am ... Alas... I only hope that the prince will be a broad-minded monarch in the future! Well? But now General Wu, you also attach great importance to this Xiao Shilang, should you be... Huang Faqu also looked at Wu Mingche with a little meaning.

"Of course I'm not! I just love and cherish ... Alas... This stinky boy is going to give us a problem! Wu Mingche also smiled bitterly.

。。。。。。

At the same time, Chen Shuling's spokesperson in Jinling, Chen Bowei, had also gathered his cronies to discuss taking this opportunity to attack Yinhai Commercial Bank and the crown prince.

"Shiro has already exterminated the Salt Gang, dealt a severe blow to Yinhai Firm, and made a great contribution to us, and we can't live up to his efforts! I have already sent someone to Jiangzhou to inform His Royal Highness King Xing, and now we have to study how to take advantage of the relationship between the Salt Gang and the Yinhai Commercial Bank to attack them!" Chen Boxi said excitedly.

"The Salt Gang is an important helper of Yinhai Commercial Bank in the salt industry, and we have long known about their deeds, but it is only because of the relationship between the prince that we dare not expose it, and now we can take this opportunity to participate in them fiercely!" An official said.

"Yes, and some of the officials below have already exposed the salt gang for smuggling and selling salt, and they are also in cahoots with the Yinhai Commercial Bank, which is the main leader of salt smuggling and trafficking!" Another said.

"We ask the emperor to revoke the privilege of the acting official salt of the Yinhai Commercial Bank and hand it over to the General Commercial Bank to take over!" Someone suggested.

"Yes, in this way, the General Merchant Bank can enter the salt industry, before the General Comprising Bank has successfully entered their military market with paper armor, and now it can snatch their salt market, so that the Yinhai Comptoir can be defeated!" One said excitedly.

"And I also heard that Steward Feng did not go to Haiyan County alone, but brought a group of guards with hundreds of people, if this group of guards also participated in the rebellion, then this Yinhai Commercial Bank is involved in the rebellion!" Some people even said.

"If that's the case, then God help me! Quick, go and collect more evidence, Pei Ji is personally in charge of this case, although he is also a centrist, but so many people are concerned about this case, he can't be biased towards the prince and Yinhai Commercial Bank! Chen Boxi commanded.

。。。。。。

"Boss Zhang, I invite you to come this time, I want to ask you about the details of Li Chujiu and others, who sell salt in Haiyan County, a subsidiary of your firm!" Pei Ji looked at Zhang Dai, who was sent to the interrogation room of the Criminal Department, and asked.

"Lord Hui, is this Li Chujiu guilty? Recently, our Yinhai Commercial Bank also found out that Li Chujiu was suspected of smuggling and selling salt by using his official and business status, and also sent a steward to Yanhai County to verify it in person, I believe that there will be results in a few days, and we will definitely report to the government to severely punish according to law! Zhang Dai said calmly.

Pei Ji sneered, and thought: The prince has really received the news, in the morning the emperor asked me to be in charge of the case, and I sent him in the afternoon, and the result is that the people have already confessed!

"Boss Zhang doesn't have to wait for the result, Wu Xing is too guarded by Lord Xu's urgent report, Haiyan County official and businessman Li Chujiu smuggled and sold salt, gathered people to rebel, and attacked the county seat, and has now been exterminated by Lord Xu! The steward you sent was also killed in an accident! Pei Ji said.

"They're really smugglers and salt sellers! And killed Steward Feng? It's so hateful! Is there still a royal law? Your Excellency must behead these rebels and thieves to avenge Steward Feng! Zhang Dai said emotionally.

The acting is not bad! Pei Ji smiled secretly in his heart, and then said, "I sent you here to want to know, did you send this Feng Steward over alone or with a guard?" ”

"Of course, with guards, and I told him to bring more! After all, these salt sellers are not ordinary people, and this time they have checked the evidence of their smuggling in the past, so I asked him to bring hundreds of guards over, but I didn't expect to be murdered! Zhang Dai replied calmly.

"Really?" Pei Ji mentioned it in a tone, "But according to what I have checked, he brought a full 800 people over!" It's not like checking the evidence, it's like going to war in the past! ”

"Your Excellency has wronged! I really didn't know he was bringing so many people over! I did tell him to be more careful, after all, those are all villains who have lived on the knife edge, but I really don't know that he actually brought so many people over, it should be that he is also afraid that this trip is dangerous, so he transferred so many guards privately, and this Feng Steward has a lot of power in the business bank! Zhang Dai hurriedly explained.

"Is it really that he transferred so many guards without permission? Not to mention this, there is another matter, when did you learn that these salt gangs were smuggling and selling salt in the name of officials and businessmen? And you know that they have been habitual smugglers in the past, why do you still recruit them as your officials and businessmen? Pei Ji had long expected that he had already thought of countermeasures against the 800 guards, so he started with other issues.

"This, we have indeed received a lot of reports from below that they have smuggled and sold salt, and recently there have been reports that they have not changed their thief nature and have done things to stop merchants and rob goods, so in order to protect the reputation of the firm, I immediately sent Steward Feng to verify the truth!"

"As for why we want to recruit them as officials and businessmen, this is also a helpless move, after all, it is a way to let the locals manage the locals, but our firm does have the sin of poor supervision, and they have developed such a huge force and dare to gather people to rebel! I was so blind! Zhang Dai said bitterly.

Seeing that Zhang Dai had plugged all the holes and successfully cleared his name, Pei Ji understood that the case was over everywhere, and he was also relieved!

Moreover, Xu Jingcheng did not report more evidence about Yinhai Commercial Bank's involvement in this case, so the case must be closed immediately, otherwise Yinhai Commercial Bank will be involved, and even the prince will be implicated, and the entire Jinling will become bloody!
