When handling the private salt case back then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not the current His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time could do it to that extent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time is even stronger than at that time, to what extent will he go now?

No one has tried this question, and no one dares to try it.

However, some people have also guessed that if it were replaced by the current His Royal Highness the Prince, the matter would definitely not end so easily, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would directly transfer the Black Dragon Army to the south.

In fact, there is a consensus among the DPRK and the CCP on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty seems to be kind and benevolent, and when he usually talks about things, he does not easily move the army, that is because he did not reach that role.

From a normal person's point of view, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to solve a matter, he will solve it in the way he is best at.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a talented and talented person, what is he best at? That's the warriors.

He has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and when he was training in Beijing that year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slapped everyone in the face at a young age.

Since then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has trained his own troops and led his troops to sweep Mobei, which can be said to be very powerful. Some people have even said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the legacy of Taizong, as for Taizu, it must not be said, and it is enough to go to Taizong.

Zhu Houzhao did not refute this, nor did he admit it, saying that it was not appropriate for him to say anything.

Even so, people outside also have the same evaluation of Zhu Houzhao, so no one dares to provoke His Royal Highness the Prince.

This time, if the six gates release the sale of smuggled salt, it is estimated that everyone in the entire capital will be in danger. Those merchants who buy and sell salt are estimated to be so frightened that they will directly become shrunken turtles.

This is also the purpose of the six doors, which is to scare people.

However, some people were worried, and said directly to Song Lin: "My lord, if we act like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain, right?" ”

To put it bluntly, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be angry, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, what should we do?

This question is very realistic, and it is placed in front of everyone, and the meaning of the prince to them is not the same as that of others. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only has the grace of knowing them, but is also their immediate boss.

Song Lin didn't care, he waved his hand directly and said, "What's this?" Don't say that we just let the news out, let's really go to Zhou's house to check, what can we do? I just suspect that your family is selling smuggled salt, is there a problem? If you really want to ask, then say that someone reported it. As for who he asked, how could we disclose the identity of the whistleblower if we wanted to protect the identity of the whistleblower? What if he retaliates against the whistleblower? ”

Everyone looked at Song Lin, very helpless. Why didn't you find this product so shameless before?

Everyone's eyes, Song Lin naturally saw it in their eyes.

He said expressionlessly: "You must also remember that we are doing things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and getting things done is the first priority. Nothing else matters, whatever fame and interest are put aside. ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said, "The inferior rank knows." ”

"Okay, now that you know, hurry up and spread the news and let everyone know as soon as possible."

At this time, the British Duke Zhang Mao looked at his nephew with a calm face, and asked expressionlessly: "You said that someone outside asked you for something?" What do you want to say to me? Want me to intercede for you? ”

Seeing Zhang Mao's black face, Zhang Heng knelt down in an instant, without any hesitation at all.

He said with a sad face: "Uncle, I didn't mean to. The family only has some business dealings with them, and our family's salt factory is what their family is doing, which has added a lot of money to the family in recent years. ”

"And then?" Zhang Mao was very dissatisfied and said: "Just because he made money for our family, you want to protect him?" What kind of family are we? We are the British Commonwealth. What does our family do? Our family is the noble of the Ming Dynasty, the Guogong Mansion! The entire Daming is taller than our family, how many are there? ”

"They make money for our family? That's our family protecting him to make money. Without our family, where would they go to make money? Still carrying them? I'm telling you, if you dare to lose the face of our family, I'll just lock you in the house and won't let you out. ”

Zhang Heng said with a sad face: "Uncle, it's not like that. It's not that they have to protect them, but this time it's obvious that the people of the six doors are finding fault. Isn't there Brother Zhang Ji over there at the Six Doors? As long as you keep saying a word, it's not a matter of a word? ”

Zhang Mao stared at Zhang Heng and suddenly smiled, but his eyes were still very cold.

"A word thing? Do you know what the six doors are? That is the yamen of His Royal Highness the Prince, the yamen where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sits. Let Zhang Ji run errands and make a ghost under the nose of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Are you living enough, or do you think our family is living too well? Let me tell you, if there is really anything to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly, don't go to Zhang Ji to make a ghost. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Mao turned his head and looked at the housekeeper on the side, "Go, tell everyone in the family that I have this sentence, no one is allowed to go to Zhang Ji, no matter what the reason is." Tell the people below that if anyone dares to make this mistake, they will be expelled from the house. ”

This punishment is too harsh. Expulsion from the house is equivalent to opening a family tree, and the family will not be able to enjoy any treatment. It's going to be fatal for them.

The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "I'll go now." ”

After saying this, the butler turned around and ran out.

He didn't want to continue watching here, he knew that his family's Guogong was also deliberately supporting himself.

When the housekeeper left, Zhang Mao looked at Zhang Heng and asked directly, "Say, what's going on?" It's just a businessman's family, and if they have something, they can directly carry it themselves, and if they can't bear it, they can't carry it, and they can change their families to another family. Why risk offending the crown prince's world to protect them? There must be something going on here, is there something that involves you? ”

Zhang Heng immediately cried.

He also knew that he couldn't hide this from his uncle, and the Zhou family was a fart in his heart. Just like my uncle said, if it doesn't work, change it again, there are still many people in the world who want to do business for their own family, why bother using their Zhou family.

Seeing the uncle staring at him, Zhang Heng could only speak: "There are some things that can't see the light." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Mao slapped the table and scolded angrily: "I told you a long time ago, don't do these things." Has the family lacked you to eat all these years, or has it lacked your flowers? Are you short of money? ”

Zhang Heng cried with a sad face, "It's true that there is no shortage of money, but who hates money these days?" ”

"Okay, tell me what's going on?" Zhang Mao waved his hand, and said impatiently: "There is no point in talking about this now. The matter has already come out, there is no need to dwell on the cause, solving the problem is the key. ”

"Mainly from the south of the Yangtze River to transport some illegal salt." Zhang Heng said hesitantly.

As soon as Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately became angry, went up and gave him a kick, and scolded angrily: "You actually dare to touch this thing, are you crazy?" The house sells salt, how dare you touch the smuggled salt? ”

"Where did you get the salt?" Zhang Mao asked loudly again.

You must know that the control of the salt farm has been very strict in recent years, in addition to the officials sent by the court, there are eunuchs in the palace, there are representatives of the salt households below, and there are even people from the Jinyi Guard, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have released his own people.

The place in the salt pan is simply a dilapidated house with wind leaking everywhere, and the slightest wind and grass can attract the attention of countless people. Don't talk about making a private salt, if you make a move, someone will know.

Zhang Mao felt that he was about to be angry, and he dared to do this kind of thing, he simply lived back, such a big person, he didn't know the severity at all.

"These private salts are actually not from the salt farm, so there has been nothing wrong." Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said.

Zhang Mao stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Where did that come from?" ”

"It was brought from the south, they dug it out of the mines." Zhang Heng said with pleading in his tone: "They dug up the salt from there and transported it, and then sold it to the north and sold it as official salt. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "I only found out about this later, and they have been selling for a while. After I found out, I was afraid that my family would be implicated, so I didn't dare to say it. This time it was discovered by that person, so the Zhou family asked people to do him, that is, this time the murder case, there was nothing to do, who would have thought that it would be tossed again. ”

Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and said, "How did this matter become like this?" Bad luck too. ”

"Bad luck?" Zhang Mao said angrily, went up and gave Zhang Heng another kick, reached out and picked up the stick on the side and crackled on him, and scolded angrily: "You actually think it's bad luck? I'm telling you, your has already been exposed. ”

Zhang Mao said loudly: "How can things be so simple? You think you're doing it perfectly, but who can you hide it? Let me tell you, that Lin Pan in Shuntianfu probably guessed that you did it. It's just that this matter involves too much, and it involves private salt, our family, and even many other families. ”

"Who is that Lin Pan in Shuntian Mansion? That's an old fox, I guess I've been eyeing you for a long time, but I haven't made trouble yet. It just so happened that this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a six-door door, and Lin Pan was pushing the boat down the river. You think you're doing it seamlessly, but in fact you've been calculated into it a long time ago! ”

"Idiot!" kicked Zhang Heng to the ground, Zhang Mao sat down panting, he couldn't beat people when he was old.

Sitting on the chair and looking at Zhang Heng curled up in a ball, Zhang Mao said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will be killed by you." What does it mean not to implicate the family? No, they gave you silver, how much did they give you? ”

The money must not have been paid to the family's public account, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to know. Even if you don't know, your butler will know. Now that the family is not aware of it, then it can only mean that the silver was privately swallowed by Zhang Heng.

The housekeeper walked in from outside at this time, put the teacup in front of Zhang Mao with a teacup in his hand, and said, "Grandpa, the matter has come out, don't be angry." This is a new tea sent by Jiangnan to moisten the throat. ”

Glancing at the old housekeeper who had been with him for so long, Zhang Mao took a sip of tea, and then said angrily: "You too, you don't know such a big thing?" What's the use of asking you? Sooner or later, I'll be by you! What kind of Zhou family, actually played on our family, I really don't know how to write dead words, kill them! ”

Glancing at the housekeeper, Zhang Mao said, "Go out and inquire and see where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is." ”

"Yes, I'll go." The butler agreed, then turned and ran outside.

After the housekeeper went out, Zhang Mao said to Zhang Heng: "How much did you take?" ”

At this time, Zhang Heng naturally didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "The first time they gave me 100,000 taels, and then we divided the money according to each boat." He brought six ships of salt at a time, and I divided half of it. The sum of all the fronts and backs adds up to seven or eight hundred thousand taels. ”

Zhang Mao's nose almost ran out of gas and smoked, seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver?

After walking a few steps back and forth in the room, Zhang Mao opened his mouth and said, "You, you, seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver stacked up will crush you to death!" ”

"Get the money ready," Zhang Mao said, "wait a minute, follow me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Heng cried directly.

Where did he dare to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

This matter is going to make a fuss, how will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clean himself up?

Thinking of his fate, Zhang Heng cried bitterly.

"Okay, I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place." Zhang Mao said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, you can't die." Zhang Mao said helplessly: "Prepare 1 million taels, and if the rest of the money is not enough, you will use your belongings to pay." Don't be reluctant to give up money, that's what buys your life. ”

Hearing that he couldn't die, Zhang Heng's face looked a little better.

But thinking that all the money he earned had to be taken out, and he had to take an additional three or four hundred thousand taels, he suddenly felt that his heart was like a knife cutting his heart, and he was almost dying.

But he had no choice but to obediently turn around and get the silver.

In the six doors of the yamen, Zhu Houzhao was full of food and drink, and he was satisfied and asked people to take things down.

Looking at Zhang Ji, who was wiping his mouth, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Yes, this is a bit of a general's demeanor." Don't be frizzy all day long, like what? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xie taught." Zhang Ji hurriedly said.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the British government. There are more people in your family who are smarter than you, so you don't need to worry about it. Not to mention the old man, Zhang Lun is also smarter than you, and he has learned the essence of the old man. ”

"This palace made a bet with you, and the people from the British government will come later, and they will also bring the person surnamed Zhou over, do you believe it or not?"

Zhang Ji was stunned, he was not sure, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to be so sure?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he also knew how to speak at this time, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a plan and a plan in mind. The minister is vulgar, how dare he bet with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"I've learned a lot of kung fu." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then you can watch the excitement on the side, study hard, you kid is still tender." ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao smiled first.
