Forty-Seven: The Salt Gang

Hua Yueying put away the scimitar, Yun Xingyan also withdrew the long sword in his hand, and then glanced at the several packets of medicine that fell to the ground, because of the fight, a brown paper bag was scattered, and the white powder inside poured out, Yun Xingyan looked at Hua Yueying and said, "You gave Yun Tianqing the five stone scatters?" You want to control him? ”

"Hugh will slander her innocence!"

Hua Yueying said: "The medicine was given by Yun Huaying, I just helped Wu Anhou get it!" ”

"Yun Huaying?"

Yun Xingyan pouted and said, "It's really interesting, aren't they better than brothers?" Why should I believe you? ”

"You don't believe it, I've always disliked too many words, if I were someone else here today, I can guarantee that his head would have been cut off by me!" Hua Yueying said and weighed the full moon scimitar in his hand, looking unwilling to explain more, Yun Xingyan snorted coldly and said, "Then should I thank you?" ”

Hua Yueying didn't pick up, but said sharply: "His Royal Highness King Ning, I don't want today's matter to be spread, otherwise, ...... You know the consequences! ”

Yun Xingyan: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Flower Moon Shadow: "That's right! ”

Yun Xingyan compromised, now is not the time to be more serious with Yun Qiancheng, and it is not the best time to break with Yun Tianqing, Chu Xiangling's matter has not been resolved, so Yun Xingyan did not dare to make more trouble, but he walked out of the Wu'an Hou Mansion and went to the prison of the Criminal Department, now Yun Xingyan is in power, and he is at the helm of the Inspectorate, so whether it is Di Yuanjie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, or Xiao Mingrui, the secretary of Dali Temple, will sell him a face, different from the previous period when he was in charge of the Ministry of War, although Yun Xingyan at that time reached the peak of power in this life, But even if you are in charge of the military department, you can judge the honor and disgrace of the military attache by your words, and you can't cross the gap in front of you, but now the identity of the imperial history of the Inspectorate has made his actions a lot easier, so it can be regarded as his own way......

After entering the official office of the six doors of the Criminal Department, Lei Bao was meditating in the house, and when he saw Yun Xingyan coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "What are you doing with His Royal Highness King Ning's arrival?" ”

Yun Xingyan said: "This is the document of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, I brought a seal with me from the Inspectorate, and I will open one for you now, and take me to the prison to see someone!" ”

Lei Leopard nodded and said, "Okay, please come with me!" ”

The two didn't say much, Yun Xingyan followed Lei Bao into the dark iron gate, through the narrow passage, and came to a vast courtyard, one hundred and eight independent courtyards are neatly arranged, and there are often soldiers and horses patrolling the criminal department, and there are arrow towers standing in it, but any wind and grass can not hide the eyes of these soldiers, in terms of the degree of defense, except for the palace, it is the most strict here!

Lei Leopard said: "I don't know who King Ning wants to see? ”

Yun Xingyan said: "Salt lord Chen Fu! ”

Lei Bao nodded and asked the guards official, "Which cell is Chen Fu in?" "Century

The little official flipped through the file and said, "Located in the twenty-sixth place in the Underground Prison, this is the token for passing, please take it!" ”

Lei Bao nodded, made a gesture of please at Yun Xingyan, and then led the way in front, walked about a cup of tea, they came to the courtyard where Chen Fu was held, Lei Bao handed over the documents to the officials where, and then said to Yun Xingyan: "His Royal Highness King Ning, I won't accompany you in, you only have time for a stick of incense."

"Got it!"

Yun Xingyan said and walked into the courtyard, as mentioned earlier, Tiangang Prison is a place where political criminals are imprisoned, then these seventy-two earth prison cells are the place where the rivers and lakes are imprisoned, they are either martial arts masters, or a hero, this Chen Fu is the largest salt lord in the Jiangnan area, and was arrested last winter, but no matter how he interrogated, he couldn't ask anything about him, so he was detained here, Yun Xingyan specially asked the people in Wangbeilou to inquire, someone offered a reward of 100,000 taels of white eyes on the underworld, to rescue Chen Fu from the prison, I heard that the movement is quite big, but the ghost market did the opposite and asked Yun Xingyan to help kill Chen Fu, don't think about it, there must be something wrong with the salt gang secretly, but now that this is in the prison, Yun Xingyan doesn't dare to do it, and besides, the information that Jun Hanyan promised himself has not yet been settled, so Yun Xingyan feels that it is not too late to step on the plate first and make a conclusion!

After entering the room, Yun Xingyan glanced at the surrounding furnishings, there was only a bed, a table, two benches, and an unburned candle on the table, Chen Fu sat quietly in front of the bed like that, and when he heard someone walk in, he didn't look at it and said: "You die of this heart, I won't say a word!" ”

Chen Fu was dressed in white prison clothes, his hair was scattered, his body was covered with blood marks from leather whipping, and the nails on his fingers were all pulled out, unlike the political dignitaries in the prison, the people in the dungeon were not so lucky, because they were involved in major cases, they were naturally indispensable to torture, and the criminal department was full of tricks, as long as it didn't take out people's lives, it could be anything, as for this dungeon, don't look at the complete furnishings, and even have a special prison doctor, which is provided to ensure that the prisoners are not tortured to death! And there are special guards in the house, just to prevent the prisoners from committing suicide, they live in prison like specimens!

Yun Xingyan said at this time: "You are casual, but you, the eldest brother of the Salt Gang who once crisscrossed the south of the Yangtze River, are now in such a field, it really makes people feel that something is wrong...... Chen Fu, do you recognize the Lone King? ”

Chen Fu opened his red and swollen eyes slightly and looked at Yun Xingyan, and then said in surprise: "It's you?" The kid who injured several of my masters in Zhenjiang Mansion eight years ago...... Hehe, I knew I should have killed you back then! ”

Yun Xingyan sneered: "Boss Chen really has a good memory, but now you are a prisoner under the stairs, and you are alone in the upper class!" Okay, a proper greeting can bring back some memories of the past, but what's the use of you biting so hard, Boss Chen? Your brothers are now living a free life in Zhenjiang, but you have to suffer from this flesh and skin here every day, why do you do such a thing against the court for them? Where do your salt mines come from and where do they sell them? Who is the docking person? Do you have eyes and ears in the court? ”

Chen Fu snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to pay attention to Yun Xingyan, but Yun Xingyan's purpose of coming here was not to investigate the case, like this kind of big case of selling illicit salt, the three divisions and yamen will all participate in it, and the inspectorate also has a salt patrol in the local area, so there is no need for him, the number one leader of the inspectorate, to directly manage it, he is just doing this to hide people's eyes!

Chen Fu said: "You don't need to say more, I won't betray my brother!" ”

Yun Xingyan said with a smile: "That's natural, Boss Chen is a hard bone, I fought with you in Zhenjiang eight years ago when I thoroughly investigated corrupt officials, how can I not know Boss Chen's character?" Yun Xingyan then waved his hand at the catcher behind him, and said, "Can you go out for a while, I want to talk to Boss Chen alone!" Don't worry, I won't give him a chance to kill himself! ”

Seeing that Yun Xingyan had agreed so neatly, he had no choice but to retreat, and then Yun Xingyan glanced at Chen Fu and said, "Boss Chen, you must be waiting for your subordinates to save you, right?" You Salt Gang are really rich, 100,000 taels of silver...... I, the king of Ning, plus the position of the imperial history of the Inspectorate, get only 10,000 taels a year...... Tsk, it's really enviable."

Chen Fu said at this time: "Hmph, since you know the strength of our salt gang, you must also know the methods of my brothers, in this world, money can be channeled, there is nothing that cannot be solved with money, your prince's income a year is only 10,000 taels, not to mention those low-grade officials, when the time is right, it is not difficult for me to go out...... What's more, Chen's subordinates have so many mouths, how can they die in this ghost place like this? ”

Yun Xingyan said: "Theoretically, this is good, but I have to tell you a bad news, someone in your salt gang paid a lot of money to find the ghost market, saying that they want to buy your necklace head, do you think you can still live until the day you get out?" ”

Yun Xingyan's words made Chen Fu have to think deeply, but he didn't show it on his face, but said: "Lies! Absolutely a lie! ”
