In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhang Lingyang practiced calligraphy for half an hour, and then felt that his arm was a little sore, so he put down the brush and ordered the little eunuch to take out the words he had just written and burn them all.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Lingyang came to the bed and reclined there to close his eyes and recuperate.

At this time, Sun Sheng hurried over and whispered back in Zhang Lingyang's ear: "Long live Lord, there is an urgent dispatch of three hundred miles from Yangzhou!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang opened his eyes and asked, "But what happened in Yangzhou has come to an end?" ”

Sun Sheng nodded and replied, "There are indeed preliminary results. According to Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, the matter of Yangzhou salt affairs is widely implicated, and the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect, the yamen of the capital salt envoy, and the officials of the salt department have been involved in the thirteen salt merchants in Yangzhou City. ”

"You immediately draft a decree and let Li Guangtai arrest all the people involved in the case!" didn't want to think about it, Zhang Lingyang said.

"But ......" hesitated for a moment, Sun Sheng said: "But long live Lord, Qin Sijie of the Salt Class Lifting Division is also involved in the case, this matter is ......"

"Who is Qin Sijie? But what's the difference? Zhang Lingyang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Long live Lord, Qin Sijie is the cousin of the queen's mother!" Sun Sheng reminded, "Moreover, the slave heard that the queen mother had a very good relationship with Qin Sijie when she was young, and once Qin Sijie is punished now, I am afraid that the queen mother will be sad." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that a small five-grade salt class lifting division was actually related to the queen.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang asked, "Does Li Guangtai know the relationship between Qin Sijie and the queen?" ”

Sun Sheng nodded and replied, "I'm afraid I know." ”

"What does Li Guangtai mean?" Zhang Lingyang asked again.

"Li Yushi's recital said that he intends to enforce the law impartially and bring Qin Sijie to justice in accordance with the law!" Sun Sheng replied.

Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally, and then said: "I'm afraid that Qian Du has been in Yangzhou for a while." You immediately go and write a letter, order someone to send it to Qian Du urgently, and ask him how deeply involved this Qin Sijie is, but someone deliberately framed him? And, in any case, I want them to put at least half of the salt merchants' fortune into my pockets. ”

"Remember, be harsh!"

"Minions saved!" Sun Sheng understood, turned around and went to the desk to write a letter.

In a few moments, the letter was written.

Zhang Lingyang glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You will order someone to send it to Yangzhou, remember, you must personally hand it over to Qian Du!" ”

"Minion, let's do it!"

……

An autumn rain and a cool, Yangzhou City is no exception.

After an autumn rain, there were many killings in Yangzhou.

The people in the city walked in the streets and alleys, bowing their heads in Spanish, which official should be arrested today, and which salt merchant should be raided?

At this time, in the Yangzhou Yamen, Li Guangtai sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the confessions on the case, and trembled with anger: "This gang of moths of the country, if you don't kill them, it's not enough for the people to be angry!" ”

Qian Du, who had not appeared in Yangzhou for many days, finally appeared in front of Li Guangtai on this day, sat under Li Guangtai, and said in a flat tone: "Li Yushi is a little restless, since we have caught these moths, let's try them carefully, why bother?" ”

Li Guangtai turned his head, looked at Qian Du with cold eyes and said, "Qian Du, the old man asked you, the old man had already issued the wheel of life yesterday, why didn't you Jinyiwei arrest Qin Sijie and Jia Daocun?" ”

Qian Dupi replied with a smile: "Li Yushi is embarrassed to be an official."

Not to mention whether Qin Sijie was really involved in the case, it is difficult to say, although Jia Daocun was involved in this case, he was the first to surrender.

Moreover, it was because of Jia Daocun's confession that we successfully grabbed Kong Ruyi's handle and arrested him.

Jia Dao has played a role in this case, doesn't Li Yushi think about it at all? ”

"Besides!" Qian Du sneered again and said, "Liu Wenxuan is also involved in this case, why didn't the lower officials see Li Yushi ordering to arrest Liu Wenxuan?" ”

"Liu Wenxuan?" Li Guangtai sneered lightly and said: "Don't think that the old man doesn't know, here, if you don't have money to make a ghost, even if you kill the old man, the old man won't believe it." ”

Qian Du stood up from his seat, turned around and stared straight at Li Guangtai: "What does Li Yushi mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Li Guangtai snorted coldly and said, "What does the old man mean, you, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, couldn't be clearer." ”

"Don't think that you Jinyi guards can do whatever you want because you have hands and eyes to the sky."

"Old man, let me ask you, why did you order Jia Daocun to frame Liu Wenxuan?"

Qian Du stared at Li Guangtai with sharp eyes and replied: "Li Yushi, there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense, when did the lower official order Jia Daocun to frame Liu Wenxuan." ”

"From the point of view of the following officials, it is most likely that you, Li Guangtai, want to kill Liu Wenxuan violently!"

"The old man is shielding Liu Wenxuan?" Li Guangtai stared at Qian Du with contempt and said, "Why does the old man want to shield him? ”

Qian Du replied: "Since Li Yushi didn't protect Liu Wenxuan, why didn't he order someone to arrest him?" Not to mention anything else, just say that Liu Wenxuan has been the secretary of the household department for many years, does he not know anything about the disadvantages of Yangzhou salt affairs? ”

"Even if you know, there is no need for Liu Wenxuan to be involved in the case!" Li Guangtai replied lightly.

"Even if you are not involved, a crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable."

"Besides, isn't there still Jia Daocun's confession?"

Li Guangtai took a deep breath and said: "Qian Du, the old man will not distinguish with you today, the old man will write a memoir, and order someone to present it to the saint, and see what the saint will do?" ”

Qian Du also smiled: "Xia Guan also has this intention!" Then let's see who the Holy One trusts! ”

After speaking, Qian Du turned around and left the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect without looking back.

Seeing that Qian Du left here without looking back, Li Guangtai was so angry that his teeth itched.

Not to mention anything else, he is the minister of the Qincha, but Jinyiwei is deaf to his orders.

How can this not make Li Guangtai angry?

Li Guangtai immediately ordered someone to take the pen and paper, and then repaired a book, and ordered someone to send it to the capital four hundred miles in an urgent manner.

"Since you Jinyiwei is unwilling to do it, then the old man will use the people of Dongchang!" made up his mind in his heart, Li Guangtai immediately ordered someone to call the two Dongchang stalls that followed him south.

But in the face of Li Guangtai's order, the two Dongchang stalls also had bitter words.

The two stall heads glanced at each other, and the big stall head spoke: "Li Yushi, it's not that the lowly ones don't want to obey the orders of the adults, but that Qin Sijie, the lowly ones really can't afford to provoke them." It's not as good as this, and the lowly position will lead people to arrest Jia Daocun and bring him to justice, and Qin Sijie will wait for the saint to reply to the letter before dealing with it, I don't know what Lord Li thinks? ”
