Soon, Xiaofuzi drew up the regulations for the auction of the imperial merchant qualifications and sent them to Zhang Lingyang to see.

After Zhang Lingyang took a closer look, he said: "The rules are very good, but there is one more thing to add to the rules, that is: Merchants participating in this auction must pay a guarantee before entering the auction." ”

"Guarantees?" Xiaofuzi is a little unclear.

"It's ......" After Zhang Lingyang said the meaning of the guarantee, Xiaofuzi woke up.

"Then what does the long-lived lord mean, how much is the guarantee to be paid?" Xiaofuzi asked again.

"Hmm......" Zhang Lingyang thought carefully for a while before he said: "Let's divide it according to the items!" ”

"Merchants bidding for silk and cloth must hand over 200,000 taels of security money before entering the market, 150,000 taels of porcelain and tea, 100,000 taels of wood, and 50,000 ......taels of charcoal and foodstuffs."

Zhang Lingyang said while Xiao Fuzi secretly wrote it down in his heart.

At the end, Zhang Lingyang said: "Also, before the auction, we must inform all merchants that the guarantee paid this time will not be refunded." ”

In other words, the guarantee is also an auction qualification.

If you don't pay the guarantee, you won't even be eligible for the auction.

Xiao Fuzi wrote them down one by one, and finally replied: "The slave has written it down, so I will go back and order someone to reformulate the charter, and then send a message to the Quartet." ”

"Hmmm! Then you go down! Zhang Lingyang nodded with satisfaction, and then let Xiaofuzi retreat......

Feng Xi hurriedly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, holding a copy of the fold in his hand, and came to Zhang Lingyang and said, "Long live the master, Yangzhou secret document!" ”

As he spoke, Feng Xi presented the fold in his hand to Zhang Lingyang.

Zhang Lingyang took the fold and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and finally threw the fold on the table next to him, looked at Feng Xi and asked, "Is what you said above true?" ”

Feng Xi replied: "Back to the Long Live Lord, the person sent by the slave to monitor Qian Du is a confidant, and the situation should be true!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally, and then said, "I know, you go and call Sun Sheng!" ”

"Yes!"

Feng Xi withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall and called Sun Sheng in.

Zhang Lingyang asked Sun Sheng: "Is there a twist and turn of Li Guangtai recently?" ”

Sun Sheng replied: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, yesterday the Master of Ceremonies did present two copies of the book, which were respectively from the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Qian Du and Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital. ”

Zhang Lingyang said: "You go and get those two folds quickly!" ”

"Yes, the minion will go get it!" With that, Sun Sheng hurried away from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, except for Zhang Lingyang in the Heart Cultivation Palace, only Feng Xi was left there.

Zhang Lingyang asked: "How much silver did Qian Du extort from the salt merchants in Yangzhou, do you know the specific amount from the people in Dongchang?" ”

Feng Xi replied: "Long live Lord, the specific number of minions is not yet known. However, the slave is sure that the money earned this time will not be less. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lingyang glanced at Feng Xi and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

"Yes, long live the Lord!" Feng Xi replied and continued: "The people in Yangzhou reported that Qian Du had collected no more than one million taels of silver from Jia Daocun, a big salt merchant. This is just Jia Daocun. You must know that there are as many as thirteen large salt merchants in Yangzhou City, not to mention other small and medium-sized salt merchants. ”

"Then do you think Liu Wenxuan is involved in the matter of salt affairs?" Zhang Lingyang asked again.

Feng Xi replied: "The slave thinks that Liu Wenxuan must have been derelict in his duties during his tenure as the head of the household department, but when it comes to being involved with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, it is to kill the slave, and the slave does not believe it." ”

"Oh? Why do you say that? Zhang Lingyang picked up the teacup, took a sip of it, and continued to ask.

"Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, because of the matter of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion before, Jinyiwei had already raided Liu Wenxuan's mansion, but the gold and silver confiscated were fine, and the total was less than one million taels. You must know that Liu Wenxuan's family is a fifth-generation eunuch, if his hands and feet are really unclean, there will be no such little money in the family at all. ”

"What's more, the slave heard that the woman Liu Wenxuan took from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion at the beginning has now become Qian Du's concubine!"

"Is this true?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang's body couldn't help but pause, and he hurriedly asked.

"Go back to Long Live Lord, this matter is true, if Long Live Lord doesn't believe it, you can send someone out of the palace to inquire, and the whole capital knows about it."

"The whole capital knows it?" Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but show a little sneer on his face, "But I don't know, isn't it!" ”

"Long live the anger of the lord!" Seeing Zhang Lingyang angry, Feng Xi hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you!" Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lingyang suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a light tone.

At this time, Sun Sheng came to the Heart Cultivation Hall with two copies of the recital, and saw that the hall was quiet, Feng Xi was standing there, covered with fine sweat, and Zhang Lingyang couldn't see the look of joy and anger on his face.

So, Sun Sheng cautiously came to Zhang Lingyang, presented the two copies in his hand to Zhang Lingyang, and said in a low voice: "Long live the lord, these two copies are Li Guangtai and Qian Du's folds!" ”

Zhang Lingyang took the fold, looked at it carefully and threw it to the ground, got up and said: "Sun Sheng, you immediately go to the front to draw up the decree, and instruct Li Guangtai, the imperial historian of the left capital, and the commander of Jinyiwei to make Qian Du immediately escort a group of people to Beijing to await trial after receiving the holy decree, and there must be no mistake." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Sun Sheng and Feng Xi successively launched the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Feng Xi let out a sigh of relief, looked at Sun Sheng, and whispered: "Grandpa Sun, what do you mean by Banzai Ye?" Our family has already told Qian Du's crimes, why hasn't Long Live Lord ordered Qian Du to be arrested? ”

"You!" Sun Sheng shook his head and smiled: "It's a little too hasty!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Xi couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Could it be that Long Live Lord knows that we have to deal with Qian Du, so he doesn't plan to deal with Qian Du?" ”

Sun Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "No, as long as Qian Du returns to the capital, he will not be far from death!" ”

"Our family just shook their heads, because they think that you are acting too much Meng Lang, once you let Wan Sui Ye guess your careful thoughts, I am afraid that the end will not be better than Qiandu."

"Actually, there are some things that you don't need to go into detail at all, and Long Live Lord also knows it in his heart, otherwise why would you Dongchang send someone to monitor Qian Du?"

After patting Feng Xi on the shoulder, Sun Sheng turned around and left here.

Feng Xi was left standing there motionless, his forehead covered with fine sweat.

Feng Xi came to his senses at this time, because he was in a hurry to bring down Qian Du, he was in a hurry, and he was suspected of taking advantage of the emperor.

And as an emperor, the most taboo thing is to be used by others, how can today's Banzai be an exception?

The more he thought about it, the more Feng Xi felt that his limbs were weak......
