On the second day, Qin Yiming really took Jinyiwei to Li's house, Li Jiantai had been hiding at home, the two talked for a long time in Li's study, and after coming out, Qin Yiming had an extra exquisite brocade box in his hand, which was quite eye-catching, Qin Yiming returned to Jinyiwei's prison and interrogated Li Guohao again.

Du Xun and the other brocade guards were very concerned about what was inside the brocade box. Du Xun was very nervous, and he was afraid that Qin Yiming had taken some pamphlets or something like that from the Li Mansion, which would once again disturb the entire government and the opposition.

"Lord Qin, what's in here?"

Qin Yiming said with a smile: "Hehe, Master Du doesn't need to be nervous, it's just salt introduction, I just want to confirm whether Li Guohao and Li Gongzi are telling the truth." ”

Qin Yiming opened the brocade box as he spoke, Du Xun and the other brocade guards couldn't help but glance at the brocade box, and sure enough, it was Yanyin, and the red official seal was very conspicuous.

"Lord Qin, according to the mourning family, this salt introduction has nothing to do with this case, Lord Qin cares so much about the Li family's salt introduction, why?" Du Xun was very puzzled.

Qin Yiming prevaricated: "Lord Du, I originally suspected that this theft of the Li Mansion was related to this salt introduction, and the theft of the Li Mansion directly triggered Chen Yunze's sale of patterns this time, but now it seems that I am thinking too much." ”

"So what do we do next?" Du Xun asked.

"I don't have a clue, by the way, has the Kang Jiayin number been confiscated?" Qin Yiming asked.

Du Xun said: "It is not trivial to confiscate the silver number of the Kang family, even if the emperor decreed the day before yesterday, Jinyiwei did not act immediately, many people in the Beijing division have saved silver in the Kang family, so they have to take out the silver and then seal it, the emperor has changed the edict, sealed the Kang family, postponed it for three days, and waited for Lord Chen's case to be decided, and then deal with the Kang family." Anyway, several city gates in Jingshi have been secretly and strictly investigated, and the Kang family can't escape. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then there is Master Lao Du here, I have to go to the Kang family, the Kang family is gone, I want to go to the Kang family to ask about other situations, to see if they know the case." Qin Yiming said.

Du Xun nodded.

"By the way, this salt can be returned to Li Gongzi first, but Li Gongzi can't put it for the time being." Qin Yiming explained.

"Okay, these rich boys don't take us people seriously on weekdays, so take this opportunity to let him know how good we are, haha." Du Xun said with a smile.

At night, Zhang San and Gouzi were detained in the prison.

"Brother Dog, the progress on Lord Qin's side, do we want to report to the commander?"

"Well, Brother Zhang has thought it through, our boss is still Lord Luo, and the others are all officials of flowing water, I think this matter should be reported, then I'll take a trip."

"Brother, how can you let you go in person for this kind of errand, I'll just go. Come back and bring wine and meat to the eldest brother, let's have two drinks. Zhang San said with a smile.

"San'er, you are still good to your brother, true brother, it's interesting enough."

Zhang San succeeded, and soon got out of Jinyiwei Prison and came to Yuebei Restaurant. In the private room on the second floor, Fan Biao was waiting here, and when he saw Zhang San coming, Fan Biao immediately got up with a smile on his face.

"Lord Zhang is here, how is it?"

Zhang San sat down and said dissatisfiedly: "Fan Gongzi, I will do things for you, but I lost my head, and I didn't even drink a sip of tea, you are so anxious!" ”

Fan Biao took a silver ticket from his wide cuffs, with a lewd smile on his face, "Zhang Zongqi is hard, please take this silver to Zhang Zongqi for drinking, and after the matter is completed, there will be twenty taels of gold to offer." ”

Zhang San smiled at this time, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, flicked his fingers, made a banging sound, and said with a smile: "This is about the same, it is said that the father and son of the Chen family have a big life, if it weren't for Lord Qin's insertion, then the father and son of the Chen family would have already been cut off their heads, but it will only wait for three days, what is the deep hatred between the father and son of the Chen family and your Fan family, and the Fan family wants to frame the Chen family like this." ”

When Fan Biao heard Zhang San say this, his heart was steady, "Hehe, these fifty taels of gold are finally not in vain." There is nothing, the household department is in charge of the salt, this Lord Chen doesn't eat it softly and hard, he just doesn't give me the Fan family's salt, so ......" Fan Biao was perfunctory, and the others didn't say much.

When Zhang Sanyi heard the money, he suddenly remembered the salt lead, "Fan Gongzi, the salt quote you got a few days ago may be fake." ”

"Huh? How can this be, the salt has led me to see, there is no problem! Fan Biao didn't believe it.

Zhang Sandao: "Then it's not clear, yesterday Lord Qin interrogated Li Guohao and asked Li Guohao if he had lost the salt lead, Li Guohao flatly denied it, today Lord Qin really got another 100,000 catties of salt from Master Li of the Li Mansion, maybe there is more than one salt quote in the Li Mansion." ”

"Impossible, it's not ten catties, it's 100,000 catties, salt doesn't need food, how can there be so much in the Li Mansion? Am I looking away? Fan Biao muttered, starting to be unconfident, the salt in his hand is not good or fake, when the time comes, this salt can't be exchanged for salt, then the trouble will be big, Ao Bai will definitely not be able to spare himself, let alone Ao Bai, even his father will blame himself fiercely.

According to what Fan Gongzi said, this matter is very strange. Hey, this has nothing to do with our business, give me the twenty taels of gold you have behind as soon as possible. "Zhang San doesn't want to do that much.

Fan Biao saw Zhang San get up and prepare to leave, and said hurriedly: "Zhang Zongqi, as long as Li Yunze's head falls to the ground, I will definitely give twenty taels of gold at that time, but I can add another twenty taels, as long as Master Zhang can help me steal the salt from the Jinyiwei prison." ”

"That's not going to work, it's too risky!" Zhang San opened his mouth to refuse.

Fan Biao knew that money could make the ghost grind, so he raised the price and said, "Thirty taels." ”

"Forty taels!" Zhang San bid, Fan Biao hesitated slightly, but still agreed.

Waiting for Zhang San to return to Jinyiwei Prison with wine and meat again, Qin Yiming, Du Xun and others were waiting for him solemnly, Du Xun had a black face, angry eyebrows, and a strong anger. Zhang San obviously felt that something was wrong, and his heart felt weak for a while.

"Lord Qin, Lord Du, what's the matter, looking at the lower officials like this?"

Du Xun was not polite, and said angrily directly: "Hmph, the guy who eats inside and outside, arrest me!" ”

"My lord, I was wronged!" Zhang San didn't know why, so he opened his mouth to shout injustice.

"What are you going to Yuebei Restaurant for?" Qin Yiming asked.

Zhang San's face turned pale, his heart was weak, and he continued to quibble: "I'm going to buy wine and meat." ”

"You're a slasher, you need to stay that long to buy wine and meat? Or is Lord Qin smart enough to have your home searched, and what's the matter with these thirty taels of gold? Du Xun directly opened the cloth package on the table, which was full of gold.

Zhang San's defense line in his heart had collapsed at this time, this gold was hidden by him at home, and Fan Biao bought his money, so he knelt down and said: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." ”

Qin Yiming said: "Today I have already ordered someone to follow you, and before you came back, Gonggong Du had already sent someone to check your home, so much gold, I'm afraid it's not what you should have as a Jinyi Wei General Banner." Be honest, or you may be able to deal with it leniently as appropriate. ”

"You know the family rules of Jinyiwei, say it quickly, keep your family safe!" Du Xun habitually threatened.

Zhang San knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Du Xun said impatiently: "Don't talk about it quickly, otherwise the mourning family will cut you now!" ”

"My lord, it's Fan Biao, the son of the Fan family, he asked the lower officials to do this." Zhang San explained.

"Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord, a few days ago, Fan Biao found Xia Guan and asked Xia Guan to steal the body of the thief who was stolen from the Li Mansion that day, and the little one felt that it was not a big deal, so he agreed. Later, the little one found out that the thief had a candle pill hidden in his stomach, and there was a salt guide from the Li family in it, and the little one really knew about it afterwards. Zhang San kept kowtowing.

"Salt lead? That's it? Du Xun asked.

Also, Fan Biao asked the lower officials to help him report the news, when Chen Gongzi explained the location of the Tibetan map, the little one told Fan Biao Chen Gongzi to hand over the map before Jinyiwei arrived...... The location of the generation, Fan Biao sent someone to ...... The Shandong artwork is hidden in the City God Temple in Xicheng, so that the criminals who Chen Gongzi colluded with the Tartars are ...... It's a solid sitting. Zhang San was already frightened at this time, and he was trembling all over.

Only then did everyone solve their doubts, so it was, in this way, Chen Yunze's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country can be regarded as ironclad.

"Why did Fan Biao frame Chen Gongzi?" Du Xun was very puzzled.

"Fan Biao said that Lord Chen was in charge of the household department and did not give them the Fan family to approve the salt introduction, so he was framed, and the lower officials knew that Fan Biao wanted to get the salt introduction, so today he saw that Lord Qin took the salt quotation from the Li family, so he went to inform Fan Biao, and Fan Biao also let ......"

"What are you going to do? Tell me honestly," Du Xun asked.

Fan Biao also let ...... The lower officials helped him steal the salt. ”

Qin Yiming basically understood what was going on now, he was right to suspect that these things were all done by the Fan family, but he never expected that Fan Biao would dare to be so bold and frame the son of Chen Xinjia, the head of the household department.

"By the way, that pamphlet is from the Fan family?" Qin Yiming asked.

"I don't know! It should be ......," Zhang San replied tremblingly.

Du Xun no longer has the patience to continue the interrogation, Zhang San is just an errand reporter, and the content he knows is relatively limited, if he wants to know the truth of the matter, he still wants to arrest Fan Biao to ask for clarification.

"Come on, go and seal up Yuebei Restaurant, arrest Fan Biao and others for me and torture them severely."

Yuebei Restaurant.

At this time, Fan Biao was having a secret meeting with the Mongolian lama.

"Hehehe, you Han people are really interesting, originally I just wanted to use Chen Yunze's head to test the authenticity of this map, but I didn't expect to receive such a good effect, and now the entire government and the opposition are shaking, and the ministers of the foreign court are also attacking each other, what a good show!" The Mongolian lama is very proud, and the chaos in Beijing is completely his masterpiece, and he has a sense of accomplishment to be able to play with the core figures of the Ming Empire. However, Fan Biao didn't seem to share his joy, and he was preoccupied.

"Fan Gongzi, you have made a lot of contributions this time, I will definitely speak for your Fan family in front of our Qing Emperor, your Fan family is doing a good job, and you should be rewarded."

Fan Biao smiled happily: "Thank you, sir." ”

"Fan Gongzi seems to have something on his mind?" The Mongolian lama asked.

Fan Biao glanced at this Mongolian lama, this person was not only wise, but also had a vicious eye, and he couldn't hide anything from him.

"Today, Jinyiwei's spies told me that the salt quote I got may be fake, and I'm worried about it."

"Oh? How can it be fake? ”

"The spies told me that Lord Qin took another salt quote from the Li Mansion."

"Are you sure that there is only one salt guide in the Li Mansion?" The Mongolian lama asked.

Fan Biao wasn't sure, but he still nodded, after all, this is 100,000 catties of salt, such a large amount, one is scary enough.

The Mongolian lama's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said, "It's not good, cunning Han people, we may have fallen for the trick!" ”
