"Yo, this old fox has finally appeared!" When Yang Lian heard the report of the people below, she immediately smiled: "Then please come in!" ”

As for how the news of her arrival in Yangzhou was leaked, Yang Lian actually had a guess in her heart for a long time, Pang Jin and Yang Bin were not stupid and would definitely not leak their news, the only possibility was Cai Tan, the commander of Yangzhou Guard. The leakage of this news caused him to have no choice but to show his face and stand up in eunuch clothes like he is now.

Through interrogation, Yang Lian got a news that he didn't expect, and his identity was actually leaked by the prefect's yamen, which is interesting.

Originally, Yang Lian wanted to see what was going on with this Yangzhou prefect, but this one could sit still and never came, but this time he finally came.

Not long after, a civil official in his forties walked in under the guidance of Dongchang Fanzi, and after seeing Yang Lian, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Yangzhou Governor Qi Huan has seen Yang Gonggong, today I know that Yang Gonggong has arrived on the ground in Yangzhou, Xia Guan is really ashamed, if he had known that Yang Gonggong had arrived on the ground in Yangzhou, Xia Guan must have come to visit early." ”

Qi Huan is a civil official in his forties, and his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the whole person exudes a gentle and humble temperament, with a good appearance, and looks like a civil official template.

But Yang Lian scolded secretly in her heart, I believe your ghost, you old guy is very bad, you can't believe what you say, what do you know earlier, you just knew it earlier. It's just that you didn't come to visit, but turned around and sold me.

Although Yang Lian scolded Qi Huan in her heart, she had a gentle smile on her face, obviously Yang Lian also knew that it was not appropriate to offend Qi Huan, who was the prefect of Yangzhou, at this time. After thinking about it, Yang Lian said with a smile: "The prefect of Qi is too polite, our family came to Yangzhou on official business, it is not good to bother the place, the disturbance is too heavy, and our family can't explain to the emperor." ”

Don't talk about Qi Huan, Yang Lian's subordinates alone twitched when they heard this, father-in-law, aren't you sorry to say this?

But Qi Huan said with admiration: "Father-in-law Yang is really a model for officials, let me wait for admiration, the lower officials heard that Father-in-law Yang is investigating the private salt case at the dock?" ”

Yang Lian was stunned, did she get to the point so quickly? However, Yang Lian still said quietly: "I don't know if Master Qi has any advice?" ”

"Gonggong Yang, don't hide it, after the lower officials arrived in Yangzhou, they found out that these people were smuggling smuggled salt, but the salt merchants were huge and intertwined, and the lower officials were the prefects of Yangzhou, and they were unable to govern the salt administration, which made the lower officials powerless." Saying that, Qi Huan shook his head with a guilty face and said, "Xia Guan can only secretly collect evidence, and want to wait until the time is ripe to participate these people in the imperial court." ”

"I didn't expect Your Majesty Shengming to send Yang Gonggong to Yangzhou, Yang Gonggong is worthy of His Majesty's personal life, and after arriving in Yangzhou, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and there was a harvest in a short time."

Listening to Qi Huan talking about himself seriously there, Yang Lian was in a trance for a while, did she make a mistake? Or did the salt merchants lie? Is the leakage of his identity really done by the person in front of him?

"Today, Yang Gonggong arrived, and it was a sunny day in Yangzhou Yandao!" Qi Huan stood up as he spoke, bowed to Yang Lian, and then continued: "Father-in-law Yang, the biggest reason for the collapse of Yangzhou's salt affairs is that Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou, has collected a lot of evidence over the years, and this time the lower officials have brought all of them over, and asked Father-in-law Yang to take a look." ”

Taking a deep look at Qi Huan, Yang Lian understood at this moment, Qi Huan, the prefect of Yangzhou, was eyeing the position of Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou.

After he arrived, he first released the news, and then he kept observing, and when he saw that he really wanted to make things bigger, and he really had the ability to make things bigger, this decisive person took action. Judging from the evidence that he was able to come up with Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou, this person who was worried about Liu Qi's position was not a day or two.

However, this is also easy to understand, Yangzhou prefect is four products, and the transfer makes the yamen from the three products, there are more than 150 prefectures in the country, although not all of them are four products, but there are a lot of them!

The transshipment envoy is from the three products, which is the ranks of the big members, not to mention the oil and water of the transshipment envoy, which is like an oil depot, in Yangzhou City, how can it not be blushing?

Yang Lian also understood that the prefect of Yangzhou also had no bottom line, and he was in the same line with Yangzhou salt merchants a few days ago, and now he came directly to his side. However, Yang Lian didn't care about these either, and reached out to look through the evidence brought by Qi Huan, and it was really amazing evidence. It turned out that this transshipment envoy not only guarded the officials and salt merchants of the salt works, but also engaged in the smuggling of salt.

This salt merchant is his brother-in-law, which is also very common in officialdom, it is not an unusual thing, it is all done by relatives, but if you want to say that he did not take benefits, fools will not believe it.

Yang Lian put down the evidence, then glanced at Qi Huan, and said with a smile: "Since there is this evidence, Lord Qi can go up with a question book, I believe that the imperial court has its own public opinion!" ”

Qi Huan shook his head with a serious face: "Father-in-law Yang, Liu Qi is powerful, and if he is not careful, he will destroy the evidence, and when the time comes, the official will be implicated, and Yangzhou Yandao will never be able to see a bright and sunny day." This time Yang Gonggong came to Yangzhou, and the lower officials saw the opportunity, dealing with corrupt officials like Liu Qi, they must be hit with one blow! ”

Looking at Qi Huan's appearance of serving the country and the people, Yang Lian felt that she still had to practice, and this shameless momentum alone was far behind.

What is for Yangzhou Salt Road, what is not sparing his life, this goods is afraid, once he targets Liu Qi, he himself will be used as a target by salt merchants.

Now that he has moved the salt merchant, this guy has just come over, as for what kind of friendship with the eunuch and the like, Yang Lian only thinks it is a joke, this kind of thing is just a fool shouting, and there are a few senior members in the court who do not make friends with eunuchs. That's an inner servant, and a little bit of news will help a lot. With so many benefits, who would give up eating because of choking?

Yang Lian looked at Qi Huan, stretched out her hand to pat the evidence, and then said, "I don't know what Lord Qi wants this time?" ”

"This official is naturally duty-bound, the lower official has already written the inscription, and he will hand it over later, but this excerpt is afraid that the lower official will not be able to reach the imperial front, so he wants to ask Yang Gonggong to present it to the imperial front on his behalf." Qi Huan said with a righteous face.

Yang Lian looked at Qi Huan, this Qi Huan is really a character, Yang Lian couldn't help but re-examine Qi Huan, originally Yang Lian felt that this Qi Huan was just an opportunistic civil official, no big deal, he had seen a lot of this kind of person. But this is not the case now, this Qi Huan is very decisive, he does not drag his feet at all, and he is a character.
