Just when Xiao Yao hugged Song Ke'er and comforted him softly, the dark tide was already raging in Jinling, and Xu Jingcheng's official document had been sent to Jinling quickly, and at the same time as handing it to Emperor Chen Xu, the crown prince Chen Shubao also received the news.

"What the hell is going on in Haiyan County? Why did the Salt Gang turn into a rebellion! Why did this Xiao Shilang join forces with Xu Jingcheng and this county order to suppress bandits! Could it be that Xu Jingcheng was already a person from King Xing's side before? Chen Shubao was furious and threw the entire study all over.

"Your Highness is angry, I have sent someone to Haiyan County to verify immediately, but the hurricane has hit in the past two days, and I will have to wait a few days!" Zhang Dai had already knocked his head swollen, and he sent people to assist the Salt Gang against Xiao Yao, and now it has become to assist in the rebellion! It's a capital offense!

"Wait? Father is already reading Xu Jingcheng's official document, sending people to support the rebellion is such a big crime, wait two more days, and your head will be on the ground! Chen Shubao picked up the pen holder and smashed it at Zhang Dai.

"Your Highness, please calm down, I also read this official document and found that the matter is not so serious! The rebellion may not involve Boss Zhang! Shen Ke persuaded lightly.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shubao stopped.

"Xu Jingcheng reported that it was because of the arrest of the Yan Gang, which caused them to gather a crowd to resist, besiege the county government, and capture the county seat, but it did not mention that Yinhai Commercial Bank sent 800 guards, only said that Steward Feng appeared in Haiyan County for some reason, which is equivalent to giving us a chance to explain! If the emperor asks, we only need to answer that the Salt Gang has the identity of an official businessman of a general firm, and we are also aware of their smuggling and selling of salt. As Chen Shubao's think tank, Shen Keqing can certainly see the meaning of this official document.

"Really? According to what you said, it was Xu Jingcheng who deliberately helped the palace hide this matter! Hearing that he could get out of this case, Chen Shubao really relaxed.

"He must have deliberately concealed it, but for some reason he deliberately concealed it! So we still have to know what happened in Haiyan County first! Shen Ke said lightly.

"What the hell did Xiao Shilang do! We knew that he would take advantage of the East China Sea training to take the opportunity to retaliate against the Salt Gang, and even sent people over to support the Salt Gang, why could he completely wipe out the Salt Gang with only a thousand infantry! also said that they were a rebellion, and even Xu Jingcheng helped him prove it and made him famous! We are ready to sue him for arson, disturbing the people, and meddling in local disputes! Chen Shubao slammed the desk and said.

"Something must have happened in Haiyan County that we didn't expect! Otherwise, according to Xu Jingcheng's previous attitude in dealing with the dispute between the General Commercial Bank and the Salt Gang, he belongs to the centrist who cannot be offended on both sides! But now he helped Xiao Shilang point out the rebellion of the Salt Gang, but he also helped us conceal the fact that 800 guards were sent! Did he want to be a wall-to-wall grass that helped on both sides? Shen Ke guessed lightly.

"The centrists who don't help on both sides are the most stable, and the grass on the walls that help on both sides is the most dangerous! Xu Jingcheng wouldn't be so stupid! Chen Shubao said, suddenly patting his head, his face became even more ugly: "Oh no! I once wrote him a confidential letter warning him not to meddle in our conflict with Xiao Shilang, and it mentioned that we had sent 800 guards! ”

"What?" Now even Shen Keqing, who was calm before, was not calm: "Xu Jingcheng has this secret letter written by the prince in his hand!" It is not only Yinhai Trading House that participates in the rebellion of the Salt Gang, I am afraid that even His Highness will be involved! ”

As soon as I heard that I would also be involved in the rebellion of the Salt Gang, Uncle Chen's legs were weak and fell to the ground, the prince was abolished and killed because of the rebellion, there are many cases in history, the most famous is the case of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's witch Gu, the prince Liu Ju, who was deeply favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was involved in the rebellion, and the whole family was cut down by his biological father!

"Your Highness, take care of the dragon! Your Highness, don't worry too much, or what you just said, on that official document, there was no mention of the 800 guards, presumably Xu Jingcheng didn't mean to threaten His Highness, let's not scare ourselves! Shen Keqing hurriedly helped Chen Shubao and persuaded.

"Quick, go and inquire about the details, the most important thing is this secret letter, you must not let people know that there is this secret letter!" Chen Shubao was already so frightened that his whole body was weak, and he couldn't speak.

。。。。。。

"I can't imagine that there are such a big rebel in Haiyan County! Smuggling and selling salt is already a capital crime, and now it is even more to gather crowds to make trouble, and also occupy the county seat, the crime is unforgivable! After Chen Xu read the official document in the imperial study, he was really furious.

"The emperor is angry, Xu Taishou has successfully exterminated this gang of chaotic parties, and his first offender has all been punished, and the accomplice has also been punished, this is a great joy!" Shang Shuzong Yuanyao said.

"Haha, yes, Xu Jingcheng has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Wuxing County, and I will be rewarded! And the above mentioned Xiao Yao? I always felt that the name was familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Chen Xu asked.

"Your Majesty, this Xiao Yao is the Xiao Shilang who invented fireworks! Xiao Moke's righteous son has now been recruited into the army by General Wu as an infantry captain! Pei Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's him! At that time, I also said that I wanted to meet this Xiao Shilang! Unexpectedly, he will not only make fireworks and firecrackers, but also lead troops to fight, and now he is also assisting Xu Jingcheng to exterminate the rebellious party! Ha ha! Sure enough, it's a wizard! Chen Xu laughed.

"This son is indeed a rare genius, because he is proficient in firearms, so General Wu specially recruited him into the army, at that time Lord Xu and I also watched his training, it is indeed eye-opening, breathtaking! And this time he coincidentally appeared in Haiyan County, and I heard General Wu say that it was because Xiao Yao had made a secret weapon to break the Qi army, so he went to the East China Sea to secretly train troops! Pei Ji explained.

"So, he happened to appear in Haiyan County? Haha, this is really wonderful! Before, he gave fireworks for me to watch such wonderful fireworks, and now he is fighting for me to exterminate the rebellion! Well, everyone will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds! Chen Xu said with great joy.

"Your Majesty, of course the meritorious should be rewarded, but the guilty cannot be let go! This salt gang can gather people to capture the county seat, and the power must have been developing for a long time, and he has the official and business identity of Yinhai Commercial Bank to cover up, which is the crime of dereliction of duty and connivance of Yinhai Commercial Bank! And another steward appeared at the scene of the rebellion, what is going on, whether Yinhai Commercial Bank has anything to do with this rebellion, the inside story of this has to be doubted! Zhang Hua, the secretary of the ministry, said that he was in the camp of Chen Shuling, and of course he had to step on Yinhai Commercial Bank a few times at this time!

"Well, that's right! This Yinhai Commercial Bank acts as an agent for Chen Guo's salt production and sales, but this kind of salt gang that uses the public for private purposes and rebels has appeared under its banner, and it also makes them grow stronger and stronger without vigilance! If it weren't for Xu Jingcheng's timely discovery, they would have taken decisive action to exterminate it! This time they can capture the county seat, if they are allowed to develop for another two years, won't they be able to capture the county seat! And their steward actually appeared at the scene of the rebellion, what the hell is going on? Pei Qing, this case will be handed over to you personally, and the relevant people must be severely punished! Chen Xu really turned his joy into anger again.
