In Bianliang City, something has happened now, Fu Bi, who went home to guard filial piety, entered the court again, and in history it should have been Fu Bi as a privy envoy, because Han Qi was the prime minister. Now that Han Qi is gone, Fu Bi is once again in the position of prime minister.

When this kind of new emperor ascends the throne, he still needs an old and serious prime minister to preside over the overall situation, and Fu Bi is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Sima Guang was also promoted in name, and he was named a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Longtu Pavilion was probably equivalent to the Royal Library and the Royal Collection. This official position can be regarded as an honorary title, and only when there is a relatively good reputation in many aspects such as talent and official character, will this kind of honor be added.

Wang Anshi has to go home for mourning because his mother died of illness, this is no way, as a son of a sage, no matter how big an official position, even if it is like Fu Bi, his parents are mourned, he should go home or go home.

Sima Guang was promoted, and Wang Anshi went home.

At this time, Gan Qi had just returned to China with a large number of materials purchased from Liao, and was rushing to Xiongzhou to open a trial.

The case was simple, and a group of smugglers were caught, not in remote places, but near Xiongzhou.

These smugglers really didn't pay attention to Ganqi's orders, and they were not allowed to sell many goods in the field, so they organized a large number of goods, contacted the buyers of the Liao State, and crossed the river in Xiongzhou. even bought off some border patrol soldiers.

But he was still arrested by Di Qing himself, because the momentum of this group of smugglers was too huge, and the number of smuggled goods was too large, and he really couldn't hide the rumors.

The reason why Ganqi personally opened the court was to prepare to attack this group of people as a typical example, it was the most critical time of the trade war, Ganqi spent so much money to buy so many things, if the border smuggling could not be controlled, what Ganqi did would become useless.

So after Gan Qi learned about this, he rushed to Xiongzhou as soon as possible and personally went to court to try the case.

borrowed the Zhizhou Yamen, Gan Qi sat firmly in the middle hall, and the left and right yacha were replaced by the military men brought by Gan Qi from Bianliang.

Sitting next to him was Zhang Liyi, the governor of Xiongzhou, who was a hard-liner figure, at least a border hard-liner, who often had disputes with the Liao State over some trivial matters, such as some land on the border that was difficult to define belonging, and he fought on the basis of reason.

But Zhang Liyi is obviously not an internal hardliner, especially for Xiongzhou locals, he is a relatively easy talker.

Originally, if this case was tried by him, the crime of smuggling could be big or small, and the main people who committed the crime were all members of a very decent family in Xiongzhou, so he was ready to fight lightly, and he had to get by, the key was that there were no contraband in the smuggled goods.

However, this Hebei Lianglu Economic and Strategic Envoy suddenly rushed back, and he had to try the case in person, Zhang Liyi was also embarrassed, but there was no way, Gan Qi's current official position is several levels higher than him, and he is also known as Qincha.

"Take someone to commit it!" Gan Qi is now very proficient in the matter of ascending to the court.

Several middle-aged men were brought to the front of the hall, neatly dressed and neatly crowned and hated, apparently well cared for in prison.

Several people looked at each other and looked at all the people in the hall, and there was no sense of fear or fear.

The military man on the side opened his mouth and shouted: "Above the lobby, how dare you be rude? ”

Several people with chains arched their hands: "I've seen Shangguan!" ”

These people obviously didn't know Ganqi sitting in the hall, but they could guess who Ganqi was.

"Convicted?" Ganchi spoke.

"The grass people don't know what crime they have committed?" One person has his head raised, and there is no self-knowledge of a criminal at all.

Gan Qi in the hall was shocked, and asked: "This official has repeatedly ordered to put an end to smuggling, otherwise he will be severely punished, and you still don't know the crime?" ”

"The grass people are merchants in Xiongzhou, since there is a field in Xiongzhou, cloth, salt and tea have always been the weight of trade, why are they not allowed to sell now? Is it that the two countries are at loggerheads? Or has the Holy Decree decreed? This person obviously has his own reasoning, salt tea cloth has never been forbidden, and now that this financial road has been cut off, he is still angry, so he has to question this Gan Jingluo in front of him.

"Isn't it an order from this official, and I can't control you?" Gan Qi asked, his tone was playful, Gan Qi didn't care so much about this over-the-court trial, he only cared about the final decision.

"You are an official, I am a citizen, and I can naturally control it. But there is also a reason to come out, why is it not allowed to sell salt tea cloth? Now that the price of salt, tea, and cloth in Liao is skyrocketing, why is it not allowed to sell these non-prohibited things with such a great opportunity? Why did you cut off our financial means? Do you have to force me to wait for my personal affairs? Smuggling is a crime, but this crime is also a crime committed by officials and the people, and the grass people do not admit it! ”

This is a set of truths, but it makes Gan Qi laugh.

Gan Qi nodded: "Well, the prices in Liao have skyrocketed, but the official is not allowed to sell cloth, salt and tea, you have committed the crime of smuggling, or is it the official's fault?" ”

"That's exactly what the grass people say."

"This official governs here on behalf of the official family, but it's not as important as making money for you?" Ganchi asked again.

"This ...... No matter what kind of official, you must not pervert! ”

"Okay, if you commit a crime, it will be tried by the official, and if the official commits a crime, it will naturally be decided by His Majesty. As for how His Majesty will deal with this official, I will wait for the official to return to Beijing when the time comes. Ganchi reached for the token.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Gan Qi, and Zhang Liyi was even more anxious, he seemed to be afraid that Gan Qi's sentence would be too heavy.

Sure enough, Gan Qi was shocked, threw the token, and spoke: "In this major smuggling case, the first few evildoers were sentenced to behead and imprisoned, and the rest of the accomplices were all ordered by others, and they were not subjectively malicious, and they were all acquitted." ”

Zhang Liyi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head and whispered to Gan Qi: "Gan Jingluo, the smuggling sentence is too heavy?" ”

As if he hadn't heard, Gan Qi only said, "Come on, take them in prison and wait to be beheaded." ”

The military man had already stepped up to the court, and at this time, several criminals in the hall were shocked, and someone shouted: "Wronged! Treat unjustly! Where is there such a foolish judge who adjudicates a case like this? ”

"Smuggling sentence beheaded, dog official grass to see people's lives!"

……

Gan Qi just replied: "In this case, this official will quickly send it to the Tokyo official office to personally review Zhu Pi, you don't need to worry, after the official family approves Zhu Pi, maybe the official's verdict will be overturned." When you get to prison, wait for Your Majesty Zhu to approve. ”

As soon as Zhang Li heard Gan Qi's words, he let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the emperor would definitely not agree to Gan Qi's punishment, where would anyone be sentenced to behead for smuggling things that were not prohibited.

Several of the main culprits were taken down.

Gan Qi also turned his head and said to Zhang Liyi: "After the Tokyo official family reviews it, no matter what the will, I will ask Zhang Zhizhou to deal with the follow-up matters." If there was to be a retrial, Zhang Zhizhou was asked to re-preside over the trial, and most of the officials agreed to the death penalty, and Zhang Zhizhou was also asked to behead several evildoers. ”

"The subordinate obeys the order, and he must deal with the follow-up matters." Zhang Li nodded again and again, not knowing that Gan Qi had made him do something embarrassing. Because the Emperor of Tokyo knew the details, he would inevitably agree with Ganchi's decision to punish him.

Come and go to Bianliang quickly, or it won't be long before Zhang Liyi has to personally supervise and behead a few people, and I don't know what kind of expression he will have at that time.

What Gan Qi wants is to make an example of him, and he must not let the goods go from the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Liao, otherwise he will really lose his efforts.

After hearing the case, Gan Qi went to Cangzhou again.

The predators of international financial capital have to continue to increase their weight in Liao.

This time, Gan Qi no longer went to Cangzhou in person, but sent Di Yong. The excuse is that Ganqi's relatives also want to do this business, and they also want to get a piece of the pie when the Japanese country is in trouble.

So Gan Qi sent Di Yong, a henchman, to Ma Fang to buy the goods for himself.

As for the price, this time let Di Yong open his mouth to increase the price first, so that the Ma side will be embarrassed again and raise the price again.

Gan Qi's more than 4 million guan is not ready to leave a penny. Only when the Liao Kingdom really starts to mess up will Gan Qi start to make money. But to ensure that the Liao State must be in chaos.

Gan Qi waited for news from Di Yong in Cangzhou.

Xiongzhou Zhang Liyi carried out the death penalty on the execution ground with a bitter face, the emperor's holy decree, there was no way.

The number of people who watched the sentence was innumerable, and the fact that the death penalty for smuggling non-contraband was enough to scare most merchants who were capable of engaging in large-scale smuggling.

As for those small-scale smuggling gangs with the mentality of making a fortune, they must continue to crack down.

When Di Yong came back from Liao, Gan Qi would be quiet for a while, and when things fermented, he would go to Liao again to complete the fatal blow.
