In the evening, everything was ready, in the lobby of the Yanzhen Transfer Division, Wang Jun sat on it, and on the left sat Nie Xiaoyu and Perfume, Li Xuanba, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Tiangang. On the right are Xu Xiaohu, Lian Zhongtao and the five new master craftsmen, as well as Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong. And in the middle kneeling were four officials, namely Qian Zhengkuo and Dong Kang, as well as Dong Kang's two subordinate officials, Chen Guang and He Yaping, who were pale and panicked at this time, and were worried about their lives and future.

Wang Junlin glanced at the four of them and said coldly: "Dong Kang, Chen Guang, He Yaping, and the other three were in charge of the salt farm, and they worked with the great craftsmen to deduct the wages of salt workers and salt slaves, and colluded with outsiders to resell illegal salt. ”

Dong Kang, Chen Guang, and He Yaping suddenly turned pale, kowtowed to Wang Junlin like pounding garlic, and kept begging for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" ”

Wang Junlin was unmoved, but he didn't immediately give the order to kill them, Dong Kang saw this, and hurriedly changed his tone and said: "My lord, I am willing to serve my lord's life, and I beg my lord to spare his life." ”

Chen Guang and He Yaping also hurriedly followed and said: "My lord, I am also willing to serve my lord, I just ask my lord to spare my life." ”

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Since the three of you have a chance to reform your ways, this official will give you a chance, and this official will ask people to prepare paper and pen for you, whether you can survive depends on whether you can provide information on forgiveness, such as the matter about the underground salt store, as well as some things about the Lu family, especially who are the elements in the salt shop, who divides the money from it, and so on." ”

After speaking, Wang Junlin waved his hand, and several guards stepped forward and took them down, Yanzhen has its own prison belonging to the Salt Farm Transfer Division, which was used by the three of them to imprison the salt workers and salt slaves who committed crimes, but now the three of them are locked up inside.

After the three officials of the salt farm went down, Wang Junlin personally walked over to help Qian Zhengkuo up, and said: "Lord Qian, why are you able to eliminate the corruption of the salt farm in one fell swoop this time, thanks to Lord Qian's openness and honesty to the official, otherwise the official would not have known about the salt field." ”

To be done

Qian Zhengkuo, who looked embarrassed, helped him up, and Wang Junlin continued: "Lord Qian, this official wants you to be promoted to two levels and become the head of the salt farm, are you willing?" ”

Qian Zhengkuo's body was shocked, he never dreamed that Wang Junlin not only did not lock him up, but also let him be promoted, but then he understood why Wang Junlin let him be promoted, the so-called daughter buys horse bones, for more than ten years, the entire officialdom of Fanyang County has been corrupted by the Lu family, and almost all those who have not been corrupted by the Lu family cannot be officials, or they will not be able to do it for a long time, for example, the nobles of the three southern counties are dissatisfied with the Lu family's encroachment on their interests, so they united to confront the Lu family, and as a result, they have almost no children in the officialdom of Fanyang County.

The so-called law does not blame the public, although this sentence reveals a deep helplessness, but it is a fact, when all officials are like this, Wang Junlin can't all be replaced or killed! Even if he wanted to get all these people down in the end, he must not let these people think that he would do this, otherwise he would completely push these people to the side of the Lu clan and become his mortal enemies. At this time, an example is needed to divide the interest group that the Lu clan has created in the officialdom of Fanyang County.

The officials in the county government all knew that Qian Zhengkuo was called by Lord Taishou to talk, and then Qian Zhengkuo and Lord Taishou suddenly killed the salt field, and it took a few days to kill all the masters of the Lu family in the salt field, and killed the two thousand salt pieces built by the Lu family, and drove them away, and the three salt field officials were also locked up.

With these things, even if Lord Taishou does not promote Qian Zhengkuo's official, many people will doubt the role played by Qian Zhengkuo in this matter, and at this time, Wang Junlin reused Qian Zhengkuo and let him be promoted two levels in a row, Qian Zhengkuo is now yellow mud into the crotch of his pants, not is also, it is useless for him to explain to anyone, he can't say that he is stupid, he was scared and coaxed by Lord Taishou, thinking that Lord Taishou and they are the same dog, just thinking that the salt farm got his own interests, so he followed the whole process.

Qian Zhengkuo knew that even if he said so, no one would believe it.

In short, as long as the matter of Qian Zhengkuo spreads, some officials who thought that they had taken a lot of money from the Lu family over the years and helped him do a lot of things, they would definitely be on the defensive side of Xintai

Retreating on the Lu family's united front, other thoughts were born in his heart.

Of course, they may not do anything when the new Taishou fails to show a clear upper hand in the battle with the Lu clan, but when the Lu clan is at a disadvantage and Wang Junlin uses appropriate means, these people will betray the Lu clan and defect to Wang Junlin.

Qian Zhengkuo has been able to hold the position of tax official in Fanyang County for many years, and he still has the ability, although Wang Junlin's methods are unthinkable and often unexpected, but he still understands a lot of things in an instant, and he knows in his heart that if he refuses at this time, he will be the same as Dong Kang and the others, and he will be put in prison by Lord Taishou, or he will die in confusion.

Besides, it's not easy to be promoted to two levels all of a sudden! Although the Lu family could give him a lot of silver, he could not be promoted to an official. What's more, the Lu clan almost single-handedly covered the sky in Fanyang County, but judging from the incident of the salt field this time, I am afraid that it has become history, maybe it is a good thing to be forced to follow Lord Taishou this time.

"The lower officials obey the order, and the lower officials thank you for your promotion." After Qian Zhengkuo's expression changed several times, he finally knelt down and said.

Wang Junlin nodded, helped Qian Zhengkuo up with a smile, and then turned his head to Xu Xiaohu and said: "Xu Xiaohu, this time you have made a lot of contributions, and you are familiar with the salt farm, I will send a message to Shen Guang when I go back, and now you are the adjutant of the salt field from the sixth grade." ”

Wang Junlin had asked Xu Xiaohu's opinion in advance, and Xu Xiaohu was not surprised by this appointment, so he stood up respectfully and saluted and said, "Obey the order." ”

Wang Junlin turned his head to Lian Zhongtao and said, "Lian Zhongtao, from now on, you will be the Gongcao of the Salt Farm Transfer Division. ”

Lian Zhongtao was ecstatic in his heart, forced down the excitement in his heart, knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Villain...... The lower official obeyed the order, and the lower official was willing to serve the adult to the death in this life. At first, he thought that he could become a master craftsman at most, but unexpectedly, Lord Taishou directly gave him a seven-grade gongcao, which was really a step up to heaven for him.

Wang Junlin nodded, helped Lian Zhongtao up, and said with a smile: "You usually learn more from Lord Qian and Lord Xu. Without waiting for Lian Zhongtao to say yes respectfully, he turned his head to Qian Zhengkuo and said, "Lord Qian, there is something you have to discuss with Lord Xu and Lord Lian in the salt farm. ”
