Qi Huan was asked by Mu Bin, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, everyone in Yangzhou knew this kind of thing, but when Mu Bin said this, Qi Huan still couldn't accept it calmly in his heart. Although there were a few women sent by salt merchants in his own family, Qi Huan still didn't know how to explain to Mu Bin, and it was obviously difficult to talk about this matter.

"Master Mu, let's talk about this matter!" Yang Lian said softly on the side: "Lord Mu, look at these women, these are all carefully selected and cultivated by salt merchants. “

"Not only can they serve men, but they are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and some of these women are enjoyed by the salt merchants themselves, and the other part is used to give away. For example, it was given to some officials, or even scholars. Red sleeves add fragrance, what a beautiful thing, Lord Mu can also see if there is anything you like, if there is, bring a few back. ”

Mu Bin glanced at Yang Lian, and didn't bother to refute what Yang Lian said, if he really got two women back from here, it is estimated that he would not have to be an official.

Yang Lian didn't care, but sighed and said: "They are all children of poor families, and in the end they can only sell themselves, girls are toyed with, boys can cut a knife if they are lucky, and they will starve to death if they are unlucky." Some people just don't know the suffering of the people, and these people should be sent to open mountains and quarry for the imperial court, and then they will know what suffering is. “

Although Yang Lian said very lightly, and even had a smile on her face, both Qi Huan and Mu Bin fought a cold war.

Looking at the appearance of chickens and dogs jumping in the mansion, and even some people shouting and scolding loudly, Yang Lian's face sank.

"Gelding, you persecute the loyal and the good, oppress the good, and sooner or later you will not die a good death!" A young man was shouting with his neck pulled, his face was full of anger: "My Ye family is a scholarly family, I have been cultivating and reading for generations, and I am so persecuted by you today, I really have no eyes in the sky, gelding, my Ye family will not let you go if you are a ghost, I can't wait to eat your flesh!" ”

Listening to that person's shout, the expression on Yang Lian's face did not change, but she said lightly: "Noise!" ”

Yang Lian's Dongchang fan rushed up directly, unceremoniously raised the knife in his hand, and the scabbard smashed down on the mouth of the shouting young man, instantly blood splattered, teeth flew, the young man screamed in pain and rolled his eyes directly and fainted, the fan snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Dare to scold your father-in-law, drag it down!" ”

In this regard, the commander of Jinyiwei made Mu Bin look unconcerned, this is all light, it is not a matter at all, but Qi Huan's face on the side is a little not good-looking.

There were some people who were watching the lively reading people who shouted loudly: "Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor, it's insulting to the sages!" ”

Yang Lian immediately smiled, turned her head to look over, and the place where her eyes swept was instantly silent, Yang Lian was even more disdainful, turned her head to look at the person who was arrested, Yang Lian turned her head and said to Mu Bin: "Master Mu, Yangzhou is done here, should you change places?" Don't run away at that time, then the matter will be troublesome, and Master Mu is afraid that he will not be able to explain. ”

Turning his head and glancing at Yang Lian, Mu Bin just said lightly: "There is no need for Yang Gonggong to worry, we still have this ability in Jinyiwei." ”

Although it seems that they are all actively doing errands on the surface, they actually have their own thoughts, and Yang Lian does not care about Mu Bin's attitude.

Qin cha Xingyuan.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of excitement outside, and it is very happy to raid the house and arrest people, but it is Zhu Houzhao, the prince, who has completely lowered his profile and turned on the hidden mode. Of course, this is also what Zhu Houzhao did on purpose, Zhu Houzhao is the prince, and it is not appropriate to be strong many times, but now that things are arranged, Zhu Houzhao will stay in the back safely.

"Your Highness, the elder of Yangzhou wants to meet His Highness!" Liu Jin stood behind Zhu Houzhao and said cautiously.

"Old man?" Zhu Houzhao sneered: "What old man? “

"Back to His Highness, most of them are officials of Zhishi!" Liu Jin hurriedly said: "There are a few of them who are already the six Shangshu of Zhishi. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, turned his head and glanced at Liu Jin: "Tell them that because of the long distance in this palace, the boat and car are tired, and they occasionally feel cold, they are unwell, and it is inconvenient to see people. Wait until the palace is in better health, and see these elders. “

What these people are doing, Zhu Houzhao doesn't have to think about it, he knows it, it's for this Yangzhou illegal salt case.

These people rely on the old and sell the old, it is difficult to get rid of them, and the slightest carelessness will damage their prince's personality, and it is naturally impossible to promise them, so they simply disappear. Although Zhu Houzhao didn't see these people, Zhu Houzhao could probably guess what these people would say, and they would definitely not plead directly, they would start with treating scholars well, then talking about the decency of the court, and finally the decency of the scholars.

Zhu Houzhao is too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, if you don't agree, they don't necessarily say anything about you, so you just pretend to be sick.

These people can't force themselves, the prince, to see them, right? But perhaps, these courtiers, the emperor didn't break into the palace without seeing them. Later, the Wanli Emperor suffered a leg attack and could not go to the court, what did the courtiers do? Emperor Wanli has explained countless times that his legs are not good and inconvenient, but these ministers caught this point and attacked it, and their prestige flew up, regardless of what the facts were.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is a corruption case, there is nothing to say, it is enough to investigate to the end, and whoever is involved will be arrested.

Those salt merchants embezzled the salt profits of the imperial court and enjoyed them for so many years, and it was time to contribute their family property, and the imperial court was so short of money. Now it's just a beginning, it's just some salt merchants in Yangzhou who are arrested, and then they have to sweep the two Huai, not only the salt merchants involved, but also the officials, and they will sweep it all over again.

Zhu Houzhao here in Yangzhou is not worried, with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, there will basically be no big problems.

In order to be stable, he even dragged out Qi Huan, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou, and there would be no chaos with these two people in Yangzhou. Yangzhou can't be chaotic, and other places can't be even more chaotic, after catching Yangzhou and catching the two Huai salt farms, and catching the two Huai salt farms and catching Nanzhili, anyway, Zhu Houzhao is going to catch it to the end this time, and he will not tolerate it.

Zhu Houzhao is worried about the capital, the game is always at the top rather than at the bottom, Zhu Houzhao believes that his father's life is not good.

However, Zhu Houzhao still believes that his father can settle down, this Emperor Renzong may not be so decisive, but in the face of this situation, he should have a good performance.
