Meng Hezhou listened to Wei Xizhuang's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought.

There are a lot of people who jumped out on the opposite side, from Shuntianfu to the Criminal Department, the Household Department, and the Officials Department, so He Qi will be the most active, followed by Qian Zhongting.

But arresting people is not casual, especially when the other party arrests Zhou Qingli, Zhou Zheng's father, obviously to force Zhou Zheng to comply.

Meng Hezhou is not a person of officialdom in the end, he is not clear about these, he looked at Wei Xizhuang and said: "My lord, first, we don't have enough manpower, and secondly, we can't arrest it indiscriminately, is this matter a breath for Zhou Yushi?" ”

Wei Xizhuang has been hiding a little angry recently, where can he bear it, and said directly: "No need, this way, just arrest that He Qihui, I see him jumping up and down, he is simply impatient, caught in the edict prison, tortured!" ”

Meng Hezhou knew that Wei Xizhuang was going to show those people, and said, "But our people have been transferred, and it is inconvenient for us to come forward." ”

Meng Hezhou and the others are secret guards, and they are not yet registered, if they show up publicly, then it will be a big trouble.

Wei Xizhuang had a smug sneer on his face, and said, "They really think that I have been in prison for so long, it's ridiculous!" Take my token, you go to find someone named Wang Heng, he is my brother-in-law, let him arrest He Qihui, arrest him in the Criminal Department, and start early tomorrow morning! ”

Meng Hezhou didn't know that Wei Xizhuang still had such a relationship, and immediately said, "It's an adult!" ”

Wei Xizhuang felt more comfortable in his heart, and when he saw that Meng Hezhou was leaving, he suddenly said again: "By the way, send Yang Qishao's interrogation transcript to Lao Zhou, he has a better brain than us." ”

Meng Hezhou said: "Okay." ”

……

Zhou Qingli was arrested, and the Zhou Mansion was silent.

Zhou Fang walked around in front of Zhou Zheng's desk, and said with an anxious face: "Even if you are only locked up in the Criminal Department, it is not good if you are not imprisoned, you have to rescue your father as soon as possible......"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Don't panic, I'll find a way to meet my father tomorrow and find out what evidence they have." ”

Zhou Fang's brows furrowed, his heart was flustered, and he said, "No, I have to visit a few adults and ask them to come forward......"

Zhou Zheng saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!" Wait until I see my dad tomorrow, or you won't be allowed to leave the house!" ”

Zhou Fang was suddenly furious and said, "I'm your eldest brother, you have to listen to me!" ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Fang was a little confused, stood up, handed him a cup of tea, and said, "You calm down first, you go out so recklessly, what if you are arrested again?" I'm already dredging up the relationship, I can see my dad tomorrow, you go with me. ”

Zhou Fang looked restless, listening to Zhou Zheng's words, his brows furrowed and wrinkled, he took the teacup and said, "I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Zhou Fanggang took a sip of tea and left anxiously.

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to sit down, Liu Liuzhen hurriedly came in, with a person behind him.

Menghe Prefecture!

Zhou Zheng's eyes changed slightly, and he said, "Something's wrong?" ”

Meng Hezhou stepped forward and said, "Zhou Yushi is relieved, no." It was Lord Wei who was ready to arrest people and vent his evil anger to Zhou Yushi. Also, this is Yang Qishao's interrogation transcript. ”

Zhou Qingli has been arrested, if Yang Qishao is gone, it will be equivalent to losing the whole game!

Zhou Zheng took Yang Qishao's interrogation transcript and said casually: "Who is Lao Wei going to arrest?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "He Qihui." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed absently and looked at the transcript.

He didn't look at much, he was secretly surprised, and he was speechless.

Although Yang Qishao is only an adopted son of the Yang family, there are really many things involved, among which salt is the most.

From the collusion between the salt works and the military households, to the salt introduction of the household department, to the management of the salt department, the management of the relevant local departments, and even the internal supervision of the palace, the cabinet of the outer court, the convoy of intermediate transportation, the transportation of water, the post station, and then to the chamber of commerce of the major local salt merchants, etc., it is simply all-encompassing, and every place is thoroughly infiltrated!

An invisible net envelops the entire Ming officialdom inside and outside!

Zhou Zheng looked at it page by page, and his heart was shocked beyond words.

He knew that the salt class had been corroded a long time ago, but when he really saw these methods, the people and things involved, he was still amazed and couldn't believe it.

Not to mention any minister, even if the apocalypse wants to move the salt class, it will definitely not be able to do it!

This net is too big, covering too many people, too many things, if you really want to open it, it is definitely an extremely terrible event, which is tantamount to turning the big tomorrow upside down!

Those inside are not allowed to be lifted, and those outside are not allowed to be opened!

Meng Hezhou had already seen it, but there were not many surprises, looking at Zhou Zheng's ever-changing expression, he secretly said in his heart, "This Zhou Yushi is different from us." ’

Zhou Zheng watched it for a long time before reading it, closed his eyes, and slowly digested the content.

As a result, he also has a real understanding of the salt class. The salt class is an evil result under the chaos of officialdom, which in turn makes the officialdom more chaotic, promotes each other, goes deeper and deeper, and there is no turning back.

'Can't save ......'

Zhou Zheng once again determined this idea in his heart, and it was really difficult to reform from within the Ming Dynasty.

Meng Hezhou kept looking at Zhou Zheng, and waited for his expression to calm down before he said, "Zhou Yushi, do you have anything you want me to convey to Lord Wei?" ”

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly, looked at him, and said, "Don't arrest He Qihui, catch the Wailang, Jiang Qi, the secretary of the household department." ”

Meng Hezhou seemed to remember this name and said, "Is there anything special about this person?" ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "He is the person who is responsible for bringing the salt to the audit and sending it out, and he is also the person who collects the money from the salt merchants and distributes it to officials at all levels in the court." ”

Meng Hezhou suddenly understood, and said, "Okay, will you catch it tomorrow, or will you catch it now?" ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Early tomorrow morning, catch it on the street." ”

Meng Hezhou said: "Okay, the villain will leave." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed and watched him leave.

Liu Liuzhen had been listening, and when Meng Hezhou left, he said, "Second young master, we will also arrest people, can the master come back?" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have more chips than them, and they have more scruples than us, and it won't take long for the master to come back." ”

Zhou Zheng has Yang Qishao in his hand, plus Wei Xizhuang's identity, those people have no other way than to throw a mouse bogey!

At this stage, it is nothing more than a temptation, and it will not really go out of line.

Liu Liuzhen had a relieved expression on his face, and said, "Second Young Master, then go to bed early, I have to go to the Criminal Department to see the master tomorrow." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "You go." ”

Liu Liuzhen sighed, turned around and went out.

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looking at the interrogation transcript in front of him, and his heart was still spinning.

The net of the salt class is too big, and it is too difficult to move, so what can he do now? What benefits can it bring to his business plan?

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng, Liu Liuzhe, Fu Bo and others took a carriage and rushed to the Criminal Department.

The reason why He Qihui let Zhou Zheng see Zhou Qingli was nothing more than pressure, hoping that Zhou Zheng would comply.

Zhou Zheng and the others soon saw Zhou Qingli and let go of their hanging hearts.

They didn't abuse Zhou Qingli, the place where they lived was very book-scented, the beds, chairs, tea, etc. were all available, clean and clean, not like being locked up, more like a good inn.

Zhou Qingli watched a group of people come in, and said without waiting for them to speak: "I'm fine, you just take care of yourself, do more and talk less, don't mess with right and wrong." ”

Zhou Fang heard Zhou Qingli's hint, and still couldn't help but say, "Dad, are you okay?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”

Zhou Qingli nodded lightly, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said, "You didn't do anything, did you?" ”

Zhou Zheng was concise and said, "It's okay, it's almost there." ”

This is already the last step for those people, what else can be done? If Zhou Qingli is tortured, or even killed, it will force Zhou Zhengyu to die!

Zhou Qingli understood and said, "I'm fine, an adult in the Criminal Department saw me yesterday, and it's fine." ”

Zhou Fang was a little puzzled when he heard it, but Zhou Zheng understood that He Qi would be a man in the Criminal Department, and he was not covering the sky with one hand. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the position of the Criminal Department in this matter is biased towards the gang of salt merchants or Wei Xizhuang of the nine-thousand-year-old family.

Fu Bo stepped forward and said with concern: "Master, do you want to send you something?" ”

Zhou Qingli has been with Fu Bo for more than 20 years, understood the meaning of his words, and said: "No, there is nothing missing, don't bother." ”

Fauber didn't speak again.

At this time, He Qi would come in with a smile and say, "How could I treat Brother Zhou badly, we are the same year." ”

Zhou Qingli looked at him, and said to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and others: "Okay, go back early, don't come out to hang out if you have nothing to do." ”

Zhou Fang had a lot of words in his heart, and knew that it was inconvenient to say here, so he had to say: "Dad, take care, we will take you back to the house soon." ”

Zhou Qingli hummed, her expression calm as usual.

Zhou Zheng and the others turned to leave, and He Qi would accompany him with a smile on his face.

Not far away, He Qi would look at Zhou Zheng and say, "Zhou Yushi, a few words?" ”

Zhou Zheng paused, looked at Zhou Fang and the others, "You guys go back first." ”

Zhou Fang frowned, didn't say much, and strode away.

When the people walked away, He Qihui smiled with Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Yushi, Ling Zun will pass the hall tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

He Qi was smiling, with a smug look on his face, and he couldn't hide the cold threat.

Zhou Zheng dared to speak, but suddenly a master bookkeeper hurried over, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and whispered in He Qihui's ear: "My lord, Lord Jiang has been arrested." ”

He Qihui was stunned and said, "Which Lord Jiang?" ”

The master bookkeeper looked at Zhou Zheng again and said, "Jiang Qi from the household department was arrested by Jinyiwei on the street and taken to the edict prison. ”

He Qihui's expression changed greatly, and he looked at Zhou Zheng with round eyes.

Yang Qishao is just a salt merchant, everything is okay to say, but Jiang Qi is different!

He is a member of the Household Cleaning Division, responsible for the distribution of salt and the entry and exit of salt merchants' silver, and is a very key figure!

Moreover, the time for the distribution of salt introduction is coming up this year!

Jiang Wei can't afford to lose!

The smile on He Qihui's face was gone, his face was blue, and he glared at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Zhengyun, you are playing with fire!" ”

Zhou Zheng approached him a little, stared at him indifferently, and said: "I want to see my father at home tonight, those friends of mine will be reinstated, my shop will be restored to normal, and all my people will be put back, and my patience is limited, if you continue to play tricks, the next one, I will arrest you!" ”
