After saying goodbye to Hangul, Qi Huan led people over, and there was some excitement in his heart.

This time, Qi Huan was ready to do a big job, so his steps were also very fast, and the people behind him were also very fast.

In the past few years in the tax department, in fact, they have not been used much, and this time it is an opportunity for them.

Although the establishment of the Tax Department was initiated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was attached to the Ministry of Households, and it has not done anything in the past few years.

Although they had been collecting taxes from the vassal kings and nobles, in fact, they didn't put much effort into these things at the beginning. Because the resistance was not very fierce at that time, the nobles all agreed.

Although the vassal king was reluctant, no one dared to stand up against it. Because of today's stability, His Majesty has received great support, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a strong army, and no one dares to make a mistake, and no one dares to do things under the banner of the Qing monarch.

In such a situation, Qi Huan naturally has no chance to perform. But this time it was different, the opportunity to perform finally came, and everyone had the idea that they must seize it.

A group of people were walking forward, and suddenly there was a big chaos in front of them, and thick smoke billowed not far away.

Qi Huan's face changed greatly, he thought of a possibility, so he hurriedly ran forward.

Seeing someone running towards this side quickly, Qi Huan hurriedly called the person to stop and asked, "What happened ahead?" ”

The man's face was anxious, the whole person exuded fear, and after seeing Qi Huan, his face was even more frightened.

Hearing Qi Huan's question, he hurriedly said, "My lord, it's gone, our household file is gone." ”

His body trembled as he spoke, and it was clear that he knew how serious this matter was.

Qi Huan's face changed suddenly, he stretched out his hand to greet the people behind him, and told them, "Hurry up and find someone to put out the fire." ”

Everyone was also panicked, and at the same time they were resentful.

This time it was their chance, and now it was clear that someone wanted to ruin their chance. The point is that after such a thing happened, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust them?

It's digging up their roots!

The news soon spread in the household, and many people ran towards this side, and the firefighters also rushed over quickly.

After getting the news that the Hubu file was going to water, the whole person of the Hubu Shangshu Hanwen was not good.

Now when is that?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just arrived in Nanjing, and he actually did such a thing, especially at such a critical time as the handover of archives. This is obviously someone who doesn't want to let this file handover be completed smoothly, they are going to die!

Han Wen scolded in his heart, you are dead, don't take me!

For Hangeul, the farther away you are from this time, the better, and it's best not to involve yourself in anything. As a result, now that such a thing has been done, and I can't get rid of it if I want to.

As the head of the household department in Nanjing, no matter what the reason for this incident is, his responsibility cannot be shirked.

If the matter is not clear in the end, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really angry, then it is likely that he will be implicated.

Thinking of this, Han Wen's whole person was not good, so he also quickly ran in this direction.

The news of the fire spread to the entire city of Nanjing like a gust of wind, and some people secretly cursed in their hearts, the matter had nothing to do with them, but now such a thing has happened, and no one can escape.

At the same time, everyone also realized that there was a problem with the household, and it was a particularly big problem, and there was no way to cover it up, otherwise they would not have used such extreme means as arson.

Naturally, the news quickly spread to the palace. After getting the news, Zhu Houzhao's face also sank.

Before coming to Nanjing, Zhu Houzhao was already mentally prepared, and he knew that he was facing a complicated situation.

There are also people here who want to assassinate their father, and this time they may deal with him, so he brought both soldiers and guards to prevent someone from doing his favor.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, the matter had just begun, and he actually set fire to the files of the household department?

However, Zhu Houzhao also knows that this is not someone who wants to resist his own policy, but to destroy the evidence. Obviously, they have done a lot of inappropriate things before, and guess it, they must have withheld or embezzled a lot of money from it.

But the matter has already come out, and it is useless to think about it anymore, and how to solve the matter in front of you is the biggest problem.

Zhu Hou glanced at Liu Jin, who was standing beside him, and then said, "Go and bring Yang Lian to the palace." ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao had already turned around and walked to his place and sat down.

After the matter comes out, it must be investigated, and it would be even better if the mastermind behind the scenes could be found.

It may even be a blessing in disguise, because then the first opponents can be found, and a large number of people will be implicated in them.

After these people are cleared, even more people will be implicated, and they will not go to them one by one, they will pop out on their own, and when the time comes, they will just clean them all up.

It's just that the people here in Nanjing, Zhu Houzhao doesn't believe it, and there is no way to believe them. As soon as I arrived here, these people actually changed the burning of the files of the household department, how bold is this, and they don't want to die?

If such people exist, then Nanjing must not be a problem of a few people, but a large group of people.

Since it's a problem for a large group of people, and you don't know who will be involved, then you naturally don't dare to really let them do something, so you can only choose your own people.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately he had let Yang Lian transfer a lot of his manpower before, otherwise there would be no manpower to use at this time.

Zhu Houzhao believes in Yang Lian's ability, and he feels that Yang Lian will definitely give him an answer.

Although Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to go to the scene to see in person, personally investigate this matter, arrest all the people involved in this matter, and then behead and raid their homes one by one.

But Zhu Houzhao also knew that he couldn't do this, as His Royal Highness the Prince, he couldn't show panic, he had to have the appearance of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, so that he could calm the army's heart.

At the same time, it can also make people outside not know what they are thinking and what they want to do, which plays a role in confusing the enemy.

So Zhu Houzhao can only sit here now, wait quietly, and hand over this matter to Yang Lian to investigate.

Soon Yang Lian came, his face was not very good-looking, and he had already gotten the news.

Now that the intelligence work around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of himself, now that something like this has happened, not only did he not expect it in advance, but he didn't even get any news, which made Yang Lian very annoyed.

To put it mildly, this is her own dereliction of duty, and Yang Lian doesn't know if the prince will deal with herself, but at least not now.

If you can't find out the matter clearly, then these two sins are enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish himself severely.

So when she came here, Yang Lian's heart was also ruthless, no matter who it was this time, she must dig them out.

After seeing Yang Lian walk in, Zhu Houzhao said, "You already know the matter, right?" ”

Yang Lian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave already knows." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The people here in Nanjing, this palace doesn't believe it. You bring your people over, be sure to find out what happened this time. No matter who is involved, this palace allows you to do special things. If something happens, this palace will take care of it for you. ”

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Lian also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really angry this time, but this was already expected by him.

So Yang Lian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely handle things well." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go, hurry up, otherwise it is estimated that there will be some things on the scene." ”

Yang Lian didn't hesitate too much, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was telling the truth, and he couldn't delay too much time here.

So after Yang Lian saluted Zhu Houzhao, she turned around and walked outside.

After walking outside, Yang Lian glanced at Yang Bin, who was waiting for her here, and said with a calm face: "Take someone with me." ”

The group left the palace and rushed towards the household.

Walking on the road, Yang Bin said with some worry: "Father-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't blame his father-in-law, right?" ”

This passage is what Yang Bin dares to ask.

Glancing up at Yang Bin, Yang Lian shook her head and said with a gloomy face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, but you also know how serious the matter is this time." If we can't find out the matter clearly and don't give the prince a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the test. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, our people will definitely be able to find out the case."

When Yang Lian and her party came to the house, the fire here had almost been saved.

In fact, the arsonist did not want to burn the entire household, so he only burned the archives, and the scale of the fire was not very large.

This may also be because it is more difficult to set fires here, otherwise this would not have happened.

When Yang Lian arrived, the atmosphere at the scene was very bad, and everyone knew what this time meant. If it is really not clear, everyone present will be held responsible, and no one will be able to run from top to bottom.

After having such pressure, the faces of the people present will naturally not look good.

Looking at the group of people who walked in outside, everyone was stunned.

These people are very raw, and they are not familiar to everyone from their dress to their faces.

Everyone knows that these people should not be from Nanjing, so there is only one possibility, these people are the people of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

So the atmosphere of the scene was lowered again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people came so quickly, they thought of it, because after all, the matter was too big, and it was obviously aimed at the Prince, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would send someone over as soon as possible, there was nothing to say.

Yang Lian walked out of the crowd and said slowly: "Our Yang Lian, the eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau. ”

After the name came out, the faces of everyone at the scene became serious.

Although the yamen of the Huanyi Bureau is not very eye-catching, it can be said that it is ranked the lowest in the eight bureaus of the palace, and the palm print eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau will not be taken into account by the door gates present.

The ones who are really on the top are also the fathers-in-law in the celebrant supervisor.

Yang Lian is obviously not qualified enough, even if she is the personal eunuch of His Royal Highness the Prince, Liu Jin does not have a too high status now, but everyone respects His Royal Highness the Prince, so they give Liu Jin enough respect.

As the so-called county officials are not as good as the county management, the fathers-in-law of the celebrant supervisor have power, but they don't.

But the person in front of him was different, even if the officials present had not seen him, they had heard of his name.

This name can be said to be thunderous here a few years ago, and the original Yangzhou case was made by him. Yang Lian can be said to be unscrupulous and ruthless, and she is definitely a vicious dog beside His Royal Highness the Prince.

No one expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually release Yang Lian this time, obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really angry this time.

You must know that after the Yangzhou case, Yang Lian can be said to have become famous, many people are very dissatisfied with him, and countless people have written to impeach him, which has also led to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having to put him in the Huanyi Bureau.

Everyone present knew about this matter, but they didn't expect Yang Lian to follow him to Nanjing this time.

This Yang Lian Yang Gonggong is the godson of Yang Peng, the eunuch of Dongchang's palm print, and his identity background is secondary, and what people present are afraid of is only his methods and his heart.

There is nothing to discuss in front of this person, and the things they did in Yangzhou before can be said to be familiar to those present. After several years of propagation and fermentation, it has developed in a direction that everyone is afraid of.

Yang Lian didn't pay attention to the people present, and after introducing herself, she said: "By the order of the prince, from now on, our family will be in charge of this place." Don't tell our family that this is your household's place, if something like this happens to you, everyone is suspicious, and there is no place for you to talk here. If anyone is not convinced, you can go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit our house. ”

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, because their faces were about to be torn off by Yang Lian.

Although this is the case, everyone thinks that it is still impossible to say so, because it is too polite to say so.

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking, and such truths are difficult to accept for officials who are accustomed to flattery in officialdom.

However, Yang Lian didn't look at their faces, and said directly: "The idle people will leave and the people from the tax department will stay." ”

Yang Lian's words made Han Wen's face not look good, after all, he was the head of the household department in Nanjing, but he also knew that he couldn't argue with Yang Lian here.

Once you open this mouth, then the object of suspicion is likely to be yourself. Even now, I'm afraid I'm the first suspect.

So Han Wen turned around and walked out.

Everyone saw that Han Wen was gone, and there was no need to stay any longer, so they hurriedly followed.
