"Brother Pei, do you have anything important here?"

As soon as he came to the front hall, Zhu Yourang saw Pei Rui walking around anxiously there, and hurriedly greeted him to inquire about the situation.

Seeing Zhu Yourang, Pei Rui was like grasping a life-saving straw, and said anxiously, "Brother Zhu, something is wrong, our incident may have happened, the imperial court has already asked Li Zhen to go to the river, it must be a matter of investigating illegal salt, otherwise His Majesty would not have sent Li Zhen." ”

"No, it won't!" Zhu Yourang's first reaction was impossible, "Our things are very hidden, and even Zhang Chengye, who is the envoy of Yanyan, doesn't know, how can the imperial court know?" And when Li Zhen went to the river, he didn't necessarily want to investigate this matter. ”

Li Zhen inspected the river on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Yourang also knew that he was in charge of finding out the news in Chang'an, Li Zhen was not an ordinary person, and he was so high-profile, it was difficult for Zhu Yourang not to know.

However, after all, he has been in Chang'an for a short time, and Jin Yiwei has been relatively low-key in Chang'an in the past year, so it is normal for Zhu Yourang not to understand.

"That's what my cousin said, there will be no falsehood. You don't know the usefulness of Jinyiwei, my cousin said that Li Zhen, as the commander of Jinyiwei, must have something big going out in person.

But what is more serious than ours in the river at the moment? If our affairs are found out, it will be really troublesome. ”

Knowing that this matter could be found out so soon, Pei Rui said that he would not do anything at the time, although the harvest was high, but the risk was too great.

At that time, it was also pulled by this Zhu Yourang, and he also developed a problem of being lavish, so he participated in it, and used the name of his cousin Pei Rong to provide shelter for the private salt in the river.

Of course, he also gained a lot of money, just so far, he has received almost 20,000 yuan, which is like robbing money.

Of course, Pei Rong's land, Yulu and other industries also have this number. But this is Pei Rong's, not his, so he is tempted by this easily obtained money.

However, he knew that Pei Rong couldn't let Pei Rong know about this, so he opened another grain store as a cover.

"Brother Pei, don't worry, this matter hasn't reached the time to burn your eyebrows, don't be suspicious and mess up. I will deal with this matter, and Brother Pei will just wait for good news. ”

Zhu You calmed Pei Rui down after talking badly, he could see that this Pei Rui was also a person who couldn't hold his breath, and he panicked when he encountered something, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Pei Rong's cousin, he wouldn't have befriended him.

After sending the other party away, his righteous son Zhu Jixing walked in.

"Father-in-law is worried about Li Zhen's trip to the river?"

Zhu Yourang nodded, "Since Privy Envoy Pei said so, it is obviously not fake, so I have to guard against it." At this time, if it is involved, it will be more troublesome. ”

"Actually, the father-in-law doesn't have to worry, after all, the father-in-law didn't personally participate in this matter, but just bought some of the private salt. If you want to see the face of the county king, even if the court knows, you will not embarrass your father-in-law, unless the court is willing to turn against the county king. ”

Zhu Yourang couldn't help but take a look at this righteous son, he really didn't find out the other party's ability before, but he didn't expect to become so smart after being accepted as a righteous son, it is really terrifying!

"What is Li Zhen doing in the river?"

。。。。。。

"This commander and envoy came mainly for two things: one is to inspect the river on behalf of the imperial court, and the other is to visit the Jiedu envoy on behalf of His Majesty."

As soon as Li Zhen arrived at Hezhong Mansion, Wang Ke, the envoy of Hezhong Jiedu, Zhao Xiong, the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, and Li Maozhen, the general of the Zuo Shence Army, came to greet him in person.

Of course, if it was only Li Zhen who came, they couldn't afford to greet all three of them, but Li Zhen came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it would be different.

Not only did the three of them come to greet them, but also a number of high-ranking officials in the river came, but they were waiting outside for the time being.

"The last general represents the soldiers of the Zuo Yulin Army and the Zuo Shence Army, thank Your Majesty for your holy grace."

"Xiaoshuai has also thanked His Majesty for his grace, thank you for Your Majesty's concern."

Li Zhen smiled, "Three of you, please." The geographical location of the main river is critical, it is the bridgehead of the east of the river, and at the same time, the two salt ponds of Anyi and Xie County are here, and there is no room for mistakes, so the officials are specially sent to inspect on their behalf. I hope that the three generals will still take the affairs of the river seriously in the future, and guard the land in the river for the court and His Majesty. ”

"Please ask Commander Li to pass it on to Your Majesty, the last general and others must do their best and die!"

"It's serious, it's serious, it's not enough to ask the two generals to be loyal to the country."

In front of Wang Ke, Li Zhen did not tell the true purpose of the trip, and there were other people here, and there was no chance to be alone with the two generals.

In the evening, Wang Ke held a banquet in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and entertained Li Zhen and his party, which was regarded as washing the dust for this angel.

After the banquet was over, Zhao Xiong invited Li Zhen to rest in his mansion, and of course Li Maozhen also went to Zhao Xiong's mansion together.

At this time, in the land of one prefecture and four states in Hezhong, except for Wang Chongying, who was entrenched in Puzhou, all other places were controlled by the forbidden army of the imperial court.

In order to deter Wang Chongying and guard against Li Keyong in Hedong, Zuo Yulin's army was stationed in Jiangzhou, and Zuo Shence's army was stationed in Hezhongfu and near Yanchi.

However, Zhao Xiong, as the temporary commander of the two forbidden armies, spent half of his time in Hezhong Mansion and half of his time in the Jiangzhou military camp.

As soon as he came to Zhao Xiong's mansion, Li Zhen's face changed, "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask the two generals to take it!" ”

"The minister takes the order!"

Zhao Xiong and Li Maozhen's expressions instantly became serious, and they knelt on one knee.

Li Zhen didn't intend to recite the meaning of the holy decree, and said seriously, "Two generals, there are no outsiders here, things are in a hurry, the two generals should take a look at the content of the holy decree first." ”

Zhao Xiong and Li Maozhen immediately stood up, the former took the holy decree from Li Zhen's hand, and then looked at it in front of Li Zhen. Seeing half of it, Zhao Xiong and Li Maozhen's faces became more and more solemn, and they glanced at each other.

After the two of them finished reading it, Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "I believe that the two generals also understood the meaning of His Majesty's holy decree." This commander's visit to Hezhong this time is to investigate the incident of the salt pond in the river, which may be widely implicated, and Wang Ke may not be able to escape from the incident.

Therefore, during the investigation of the current commander, two generals are required to maintain stability in the river, so as to prevent anyone from taking risks. ”

Private salt!

Thinking of the word, the two realized the seriousness of the problem. As the largest salt pond under the control of the imperial court at this time, the salt pond in the river actually had a private salt incident.

Selling illicit salt is a big crime, didn't you see that Huang Chao was a smuggler in the first place?

Everyone knows that salt profit is an important source of income for the imperial court, except for the salt houses under the two imperial merchants can sell salt, other merchants are strictly prohibited from selling salt.

Of course, the area under the actual control of the imperial court does not count, after all, it can't be controlled!

Zhao Xiong and the two glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said, "Commander Li can rest assured, the two of us must abide by His Majesty's holy decree and stabilize the situation in the river, just Commander Li boldly investigates." ”

"Thank you to the two generals, but there is still something I need your help with, borrowing five hundred cavalry from Li."

"No problem!"
