"Wei Guogong, our current situation is extremely bad, and when it is decided, it will be decided. If the court really investigates it, I'm afraid this fire will burn on you! When Li Yi came back to see Xu Pengju, he seemed open and honest.

Due to the behavior of their ancestor Li Jinglong, their Cao Guogong lineage was the most involved, and their descendants were repeatedly excluded. Even if the Marquis of Linhuai is restored, the situation of their Linhuai Marquis Mansion is much worse, and Lu Mi will be deducted even more.

Li Yi took over the Marquis of Linhuai from his brother Li Xing in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and he has always been cautious. Now that he sees the smuggling case exposed, he is destined to alarm the emperor, and he has only one thought in his heart: to save himself.

He didn't expect Xu Pengju to be self-sacrificing to carry everything, so he hoped that Xu Pengju would take the initiative to throw Deng Jikun's arrogant idiot out to avoid this crisis.

"If we are silent, the court will not have any clues at hand, and we will not be able to find out at all!" Xu Pengju shook his head lightly and said confidently.

"Wei Guogong, Lin Haoran can find Tianjin Wei, and if he can find Chongming Island, he will definitely know about our existence!" Li Yi's heart was suddenly anxious, and he immediately analyzed.

This is also the real reason why he is so worried, since Lin Haoran can crack down on their smuggling network so accurately, then he will naturally find out who is behind them.

Xu Pengju faced Li Bo's analysis, his face looked embarrassed, and silently picked up the tea that had cooled.

"Wei Guogong, when it is broken, it will be broken, and then there will be endless trouble!" Li Yi watched him hesitate, and immediately continued to persuade seriously.

Steward Liu was standing at the door, and at this time he also turned his head to look at Xu Pengju.

Xu Pengju drank the cold tea, and responded as if he had made a lot of determination: "You are right, when you decide, you will decide!" After a pause, he sighed lightly and ordered: "You write an excerpt to report Dingyuanhou!" ”

Li Yi hesitated slightly, then nodded and agreed.

At this point, although he wanted to stay out of the incident, it was impossible for Wei Guogong to allow him to be a mere spectator. And in order to protect himself, he naturally has to do something.

Steward Liu sent Li Yi away, but when he came back, he said in confusion: "Master, didn't you say that you want to give up Linhuai Hou?" ”

In fact, there is no need for Li Yi to remind him that Xu Pengju is already planning to sacrifice his teammates. Since the ledger has been lost, if he wants to get out of this matter, he must show the determination of a strong man to break his arm.

In the original conception, he wanted to sacrifice Linhuai Marquis Li Yi, after all, Linhuai Marquis Li Yi's ancestor was a well-known anti-backbone, so Linhuai Marquis is more suitable for the role of a villain.

It's just that I never thought that this Linhuai Marquis Li Yi would be so scheming, and he had already taken the initiative to come over to cooperate with Deng Jikun, the Marquis of Kengdingyuan, and even did not hesitate to act as a pawn.

"Li Yi and his ancestor Li Jinglong are both villains, but villains have the benefits of villains, let him jump out and bite Deng Jikun first, and then we will decide which side to stand on!" Xu Pengju said lightly like a fisherman.

Whether it is Linhuai Marquis Li Yi or Dingyuan Marquis Deng Jikun, in his heart is actually the same. Now, like Li Yi, he only thinks about how to protect himself.

"Master, Gao Ming!" Steward Liu thought for a moment, and even gave a thumbs up.

Xu Pengju faced the praise, but there was a bitter look on his face. At this point, the special ledger has probably fallen into Lin Haoran's hands, and he doesn't know if he can get out of it.

With the news that 10,000 stone of smuggled salt was intercepted, the entire Nanzhili area fell into the whirlpool of public opinion.

It's not that no one knows about the existence of the smuggling network, it's just that it involves 10,000 stones of smuggling salt, and Lin Haoran has put this smuggling network on the stage, which still shocks many people.

In the past years, there are many officials who want to do practical things. It's just that Lin Haoran has such courage and has done this thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but Lin Haoran is the only one.

All of a sudden, both the officials and the people praised Lin Haoran's behavior, and they were even more impressed by the world-famous Lin Qingtian.

It was at noon that a fleet came from the south and directly entered the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture.

In the middle is a huge ship, on which a yellow dragon flag is waving in the wind, this kind of flag can only be used by the chincha, and the boats and merchant ships on the canal have avoided it.

Many ship owners are also well-informed people, and when they see the transport ships and warships, they guess that this must be the fleet of the left deputy capital Yu Shi Lin Haoran, who went south to patrol the salt.

The convoy was escorted by Zhenhaiwei's warships, and in the middle were ten captured transport ships, making this fleet look very large, like a large caravan across the sea.

Lin Haoran was wearing a set of majestic bullfighting clothes, standing in front of the guardrail of the building boat, bathing in the oncoming autumn breeze, admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait, and his face looked joyless and carefree.

He left Shanghai County overnight that day and went directly to the Zhenhai Guard. Because Su Songshen transferred Yang Shangying to the general army of Zhejiang, he was less troubled and took over Zhenhaiwei smoothly.

Zhen Haiwei's commander Tan Xian was the former commander of Lu Bo, the former commander of Zhejiang, and in the face of Lin Haoran's olive branch, he also gladly accepted it, and actively participated in the clearing of Chongming Island's den.

It was with the cooperation of all parties that they not only succeeded in controlling the dens on Songming Island, but also captured all the smuggling ships that followed, and then seized 10,000 stones of illicit salt.

After two months of waiting, the meticulous layout of each step, finally in exchange for the result he wanted.

"Xianggong, the wind on the bow of this ship is strong, you can't blow it for a long time, beware of the wind cold!" The woman's emotional Hua Yingrong walked over, took the cloak from Yahuan Lan'er's hand, and gently put it on him and said softly.

The end of August is approaching, and the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is getting stronger, and the autumn breeze on the canal reveals a little coolness.

Lin Haoran cooperated very well and asked her to tie the strap of the cloak, looked at the beautiful and delicious beauty in front of her, and said half-jokingly: "Your husband's body is not so unbearable!" When the matter here is finished, maybe the emperor will give me a military squire, and your husband will command tens of thousands of elite soldiers! ”

"Even if you are a soldier of the Ministry of War, you are also a soldier of the Ministry of War, you are afraid that you have this heart, and you don't have this opportunity!" Hua Yingrong has studied political affairs, even if she is smiling like a flower.

Lin Haoran looked at the beautiful woman smiling in front of him, and didn't say those words that were disturbing, he reached out and gently held her in his arms, feeling this rare peaceful day.

If there is no accident, he will return to Beijing in a month, return to the court full of open guns and arrows, and follow Xu Jie's old fox to continue to fight around the future of the Ming Dynasty.
