Although Jia Cong doesn't mind and loves to play some despicable and shady methods, but in the game with his opponents, most of them belong to the "legitimate right to harm", assassinating others naked, but he has never had it, of course, he doesn't mind this method, but he won't risk using it, and now it's impossible not to find out and retaliate, and he can't even protect himself, so what's the lofty ideal?

"My lord, I have tried many people in Yangzhou City, this is a ......confession," Fan Xuan stammered and handed over his confession.

Jia Cong took it and took a look, but it was the confession of some people in the city who were splashing and beating up, confessing that they were buying murder on their behalf, but there was no mastermind behind the scenes.

It turned out that as soon as this incident came out, the ruffians and hooligans in Yangzhou were guilty, and the prefect of Fan was furious, and converged with Jiangdu and Ganquan Zhixian to severely crack down on the ruffians and hooligans and idlers on the docks.

The only effect achieved by this was that the people applauded and sang the praises of Lord Yushi for doing another good deed.

Jia Cong's face was a little ugly, and he threw away his confession, "Governor Fan, this is the result of your trial?" ”

"Yes, my lord......" Fan Xuan pleaded with a smile on his face: "I beg my lord to give me some more time for my humble position, and under the heavy punishment, the lower officials can ask whether they did it, or someone bought them to do it, don't hide it from your lordship, at this moment, the prisons of the government and the two county offices are overcrowded, and the cells are all crowded...... However, the lower officials are rushing to repair and cleaning up ......"

No one could have imagined that the chain reaction of this incident was that the neighborhoods and gambling houses in the entire Yangzhou City were very clean, and Jia Cong really had a great contribution......

Therefore, his official reputation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is very good......

In Jinling, Jiangnan, what He Yi did also accumulated a little reputation for him.

This kind of good official reputation is useful, and in some places the people will spontaneously ask the officials to stay in office, and the imperial court will also agree, and correspondingly, the performance appraisal is also better.

However, for Jia Cong, this is completely unexpected, which is not his original intention now......

It is understandable that Fan Xuan did this, Jia Cong was assassinated, why was he in Yangzhou? If he doesn't investigate, he will lose his black veil hat at the least, and if it is serious, he will not go to prison for the crime? The crime is also simple, "the persuasion of the people is not strict, and the hospitality is incomplete", as the parent official of Yangzhou, he has the responsibility of pacifying the people and appeasing the people......

As for those who have something to do with various yamen, even their secret gray income, they have to be ruthless...... What are these compared to the charges?

In this way, Fan Xuan is pitiful, Jia Cong looked at this fat man, he suspected anyone, and he would not suspect Fan Xuan, his tone was emotionless: "Fan Governor, this is your responsibility, you can't shirk it, the official's twists and turns ......"

"My lord, my lord......" Fan Xuan panicked, knelt down, cried and shouted and hugged Jia Cong's thigh, "My lord, give Xia Guan three more days, Xia Guan will definitely find out and give your adult an explanation......"

This matter is clear, the initiative is in Jia Cong's hands, if Jia Cong reports it with added fuel and vinegar, saying that someone wants to kill him, and by extension, the life safety of all officials, what impact will it cause, I don't know for the time being, but Fan Xuan must be a scapegoat and a shield to calm public opinion, how can he not kneel?

If Jia Cong didn't report it, secretly made a deal, and determined that it was done by the thieves in the rivers and lakes, the matter would be closed, after all, many officials didn't know the inside story, maybe it was just Jia Cong's enemies in some aspects? How can you compare all officials with it?

In the end, Fan Xuan left gratefully, and sent a lot of medicines, and most importantly, agreed to selflessly donate 100,000 taels of silver to Huaiyang Kaizhonghe as money......

After a few more years of looting, 100,000 taels will be recovered, which is nothing.

In the end, many people got the news that Fan Xuan came out of trial, and the verdict was that the Yangzhou branch of Shanhai Bookstore had offended a certain powerful shop, so that person hired a murderer to assassinate Lord Yushi!

When it was submitted to the Jiangsu Division, he casually asked: How can this person be so stupid?

Fan Xuan's man replied: That person is a madman!

Jia Cong already has the criminal power of Jiangsu Province, and he can blame the prosecutor, even he himself agrees, and if he doesn't pursue it, what else can the prosecutor say?

The matter seems to have ended there......

……

After dealing with this matter, Fan Xuan, the prefect of Yangzhou, returned to the backyard of the government office, and the first thing he did was to strictly order the officials and cronies to guard all the gates of the backyard and lock them all.

Fan Xuan locked himself in the study alone, and he didn't see his wife, girl, or little wife.

Everyone understands that the prefect may be tired, for the real Heqing Haiyan in Yangzhou City, the prefect has not thought about tea and dinner these days, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, and he has been arresting people and trying cases day and night, which can be understood.

Although some people saw a little smoke coming out of the study, no one dared to ask, and the prefect sometimes smoked a pipe......

In the brazier in the study, the flames were beeping and burning, burning a few pieces of paper, and Fan Xuan's bloodshot eyes saw the last few words of the two pieces of paper.

On one is "Rugao".

The other seal has the character "Qin".

"The ashes are gone, from now on, don't come to me, although it fails......" Fan Xuan took a deep breath of his pipe, knocked on the ashes, and let out a long sigh, as if coming from outside the sky.

"The most unlikely person is the most likely person."

……

In September of the sixteenth year of Yongle, Wang Yinglin and Sima Kuijian, who were the assistant directors of the Jiangsu Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, reported that Shen Sanguan, a salt merchant, was willing to donate 10 million taels to the imperial court.

The sick Yongle Emperor Longyan Dayue immediately made instructions, adding Shen Sanguan's various official titles and official uniforms, and ordered Jia Cong, who was "cured", to personally change hands and give Shen Sanguan the official uniforms of the Jinling Weaving Bureau.

This 10 million to open the Zhonghe River is more than enough, and correspondingly, the convenience of the salt ticket will also give Shen Sanguan some.

This credit has made many court bigwigs red.

Obviously, the deep-rooted Shen Sanguan chose Jia Cong instead of the new Salt Patrol Emperor Shi Jiaswen.

The new salt stamps "proposed" by Liu Zhiyuan have been implemented, but they have not been steady, and some people have raised objections, especially the spokespersons of other salt merchants.

……

"This Shen Sanguan is really a grass ...... the wall" Yan Ming snorted coldly: "It is clear that seeing that the prince of Zhongshun is no longer in power, you and I may not be able to sit firmly, so we chose Dong Anguo and Jia Cong ......"

"Could it be that you secretly assassinated Jia Cong?" Jaswin was reluctant.

"Mishi-sama! Why say such a thing? If someone Yan secretly assassinated him, how could he survive? Yan Ming was furious.

"No matter what, Shen Sanguan must suspect that you are out of line, don't worry, even if you and my yamen are in charge of him, he will be happy to obediently hand over the silver, buy the title and go back to enjoy Qingfu, and then lead his son to the political arena...... A person who does things so out of the ordinary is afraid that he will endanger himself in the future, of course he will not choose you......"

Jaswin mused, "If it weren't for you...... That...... Could it be King Qin's...... Sandpiper clam fight and smoke bombs......"

"This ......" Yan Ming was shocked and said heavily: "It is said that those murderers have no suspicions and do not leave any clues, how can such a person be cultivated in the market......"

"Don't talk about this...... "Jia Swen waved his hand and said: "No matter what, Jia Cong won this game again, first open the private salt, no matter how high the price of the salt ticket is, he can't control the salt farm......"
