Zhen Feng saw Xiao Yan, the white-haired but straight-waisted Dali Temple Qing who was upright.

The trial of the Dali Temple in charge of the criminal prison case, equivalent to the Supreme People's Court in later generations, at this time the criminal department is relatively weaker power, the criminal department is to review the case of the Dali Temple trial, and the civilians and officials below the seventh grade have the right to execute.

Xiao Yan is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, now sixty-three years old, square, upright, clear, honest as water, loyal to the court.

With Xiao Yan here, I'm afraid that no one will think that there is an unjust, false and wrongful case. Because before Xiao Yan decided the case, he had to go through a set of trivial procedures such as fasting, bathing, and prayer, and I heard that after this ceremony, Xiao Yan returned to calm and calm, eliminated the utilitarian and worldly heart, and ensured the fairness and justice of the judgment.

"Elder Xiao, inviting you to come out today is really what the country needs. The soaring price of salt is related to the transportation of salt and iron, the affairs of Jiangning government, the inspection of imperial history, etc., but why does it still hurt people's livelihood and social welfare? The water is too deep to investigate. ”

"Gong Xu, but the old man dares not to do his best in this matter. It's just that if there are lawbreakers who are as slippery as loaches, where can I start so as not to startle the snake, how can Xu Gong teach me? ”

"The old man actually doesn't understand, but with this little brother here, maybe Xiao Lao's problem will be solved."

Zhen Feng bowed and said, "Student Zhen Feng has seen Xiao Lao. ”

Xiao Yan looked at Zhen Feng suspiciously, and then at Xu You, Xu You laughed and said, "Old Xiao, don't be deceived by his appearance, Brother Feng seems to be still at the age of a weak crown, but in fact, he has done a lot of earth-shattering things recently." The Qingjiang County Salt Farm was discovered by him and turned stones into gold, without his means of refining green salt, the salt field would be a wild place after all. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "If this is the case, the little brother Zhen Feng is an extraordinary person, and he will dedicate the method of refining green salt to the country, and the Gao Feng Liang Festival is really convincing and ashamed." ”

Xu You glanced at Zhen Feng, and slandered in private, people have already thought of a way to make money by sitting on the ground, how can you have a clean breeze like you. Xu You had no choice but to say: "At present, the restriction on the purchase of official salt is also his advice, and the old man and the landing are just at his behest." He has already set up a good situation for a thorough investigation of corruption and corruption in the skyrocketing salt prices, so he is waiting for Xiao Lao to make a move. ”

"Oh? The old man was still wondering what was the purpose of such a special method, the thunder and rain were falling, and ten stones a day were about to break the gate of the Jiangning Mansion. Please also ask the little brother to speak carefully. ”

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xiao, both of them are for the country and the people, and the students are here to make a big fuss, please give advice. The students implemented the purchase of low-cost official salt, and the Jiangning Mansion and the Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy confirmed the purchase qualifications, in fact, there was no need to be so troublesome, and in ten days, at most half a month, the salt matter of the Tang Kingdom could be solved, but if it was at that time, the previous cancer would be hidden from now on, and there would be no chance to pull it out. At this time, Wei Ruan and other smuggled salt dealers actually knew that soon their salt would be unsalable or even lose money, so they had not many opportunities to distribute their profits, so this move was to let the officials have power in their hands, but once the officials who had been greedy lost their former source of interests, power would become their new weapon of interests, so the re-emergence of the state of affairs could lead the snake out of the hole. ”

"This ......" Xiao Yan was silent, and even Xu You couldn't help but gasp: "Then why did you deliberately release the news so that people outside would know that those salts were the official salt of the surrounding states and counties, not new salt?" ”

"No poison, no husband, there is not much time left for us. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be used, and I ask for the forgiveness of the two gentlemen. Although there was a lot of rumors among the people before, there was no regulation on when the official salt in Qingjiang County could be produced, so the landing petition temporarily blocked the official news, and even the salt and iron transfer envoy Si Yamen did not intervene in this matter. This is the trap that students leave in advance. The student's move is to make some greedy officials and businessmen aware of the loopholes in official salt, and speculate that the price of official salt will skyrocket in retaliation in the near future. ”

"Little brother, how many people can resist such a temptation?"

"Don't worry about Xiao Lao, the students have seen a group of officials such as the governor of Jiangning Governor, the deputy envoy of salt and iron transshipment, and the shopkeeper of the Wei Ruan gathered together, so this time it is also to let these two people from the yamen be in charge of this matter, Xiao Lao only needs to pry open their interest chain through this kind of behavior of opening the door of convenience, take one by one, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, even if the Wei Ruan is hiding behind this time, it can be dug out."

"Little brother, how long have you been planning this matter, do you know that if there is a problem in any part of this matter, the previous efforts will be wasted, and even a series of future troubles will occur, but the gains outweigh the losses."

"Therefore, professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and audit and inspection are handed over to the selfless Xiao Lao to do, only in this way can we remove the disadvantages caused by the salt incident in the Northern Dynasty and return my Tang Kingdom to a clear state." Zhen Feng said with a rogue look: "The matter has come to this point, we can only do our best to curb the unscrupulous people, do the two gentlemen think so?" ”

Xu You was very helpless, this was tantamount to being put on a chariot that had to be eliminated, if not, it might cause even more trouble. Officialdom is the most taboo in this way, leaving no way out, and making enemies with others.

"In this case, the old man has the responsibility to do his best and die, the old man already knows the severity, please tell the little brother the clues he knows one by one, and it is good to be targeted."

Zhen Feng took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yan, saying, "Old Xiao, it's all ready, it's up to you next." ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, this game is too big, and the pressure of responsibility is even greater, so he has to take it over reasonably.

Leaving Dali Temple, Xu You shook his head and smiled: "Brother Feng, don't forget to promise the old man, your basket is a bit big." ”

"Isn't it just to meet that Xu Yanhua, it's easy to talk about."

On the second day after the rumors pushed the low-priced official salt to a new heat, Dali Temple swept away the salt and iron transshipment envoy and the Jiangning Mansion Yamen, and the other part swept a dock merchant's house, opening the review of post-fishing law enforcement.

The merchant was the most rampant through the back door, using the quota of all the people in his own family, occupying the quota of some deceased people, and taking a large amount of official salt.

These clues quickly touched the head of Shi Shi, the deputy envoy of salt and iron transfer and the governor of Jiangning, and there was almost no pause. But when he arrived here, he began to deviate from Zhen Feng's original idea - pointing to the Wei Ruan, and the difficulty of thorough investigation greatly increased.

Zhen Feng learned a little that when he reached this level, someone above had already begun to exert pressure, and Xiao Yan, a Dali Siqing, could bear it, but some of the case-handling personnel below couldn't bear this pressure.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, the mud brought out this time was a bit big: Yongjia Eldest Princess and Horse Duwei Sun Zi.

For two days in a row, a lot of evidence loomed at Sun Zi, but instead pointed to the Wei Ruan being dwarfed by it, at most some people were unlucky, and it was almost difficult to climb to the sky if they wanted to uproot it.
