The search and cleanup of the Salt Gang Headquarters continued, and Ju Yuping, the prefect of Yangzhou, finally rushed over with dozens of officials.

Looking at the situation at the scene, Ju Zhifu still didn't understand what was going on, especially when he saw soldiers constantly pounding things out of the manor, Ju Zhifu's face instantly turned whiter than paper.

Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have colluded, so why not officials and bandits?

The prefect of Ju didn't know Long Muyun's true identity, and like Governor Yao, he only thought that Long Muyun was a wealthy businessman with a background in the rivers and lakes, so he also extorted money from Long Muyun, and even had a lot of correspondence.

Now seeing Long Muyun following Ye Xun like a primary school student, he was so frightened that Ju Zhifu almost didn't turn around and run away, but he also knew that it was obviously too late to run away at this time.

The strong fighting spirit came to Ye Xun's side, so he said incomprehensibly: "Grandpa Ye, why is this?" Gu Xiaguan knows that Yun Yuanwai has always been a law-abiding person, and if you raid the mansion of a law-abiding businessman without authorization, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lower officials to cover it up for you! ”

Ye Xun could guess that in Long Muyun's mansion, there must be evidence of collusion with Jiangnan officials, and this is exactly what Ye Xun wants.

Long Muyun has been in charge of the Salt Gang for many years, and his family wealth is not more than tens of millions, these are all ready-made military expenses, forming a new army, building a shipyard, and recruiting water divisions, so that no money is needed?

Long Muyun is old, and he has too much influence in the Salt Gang, so whether it is the new army or the water division in the future, there will be no place for him.

After dealing with this, Ye Xun will give Long Muyun a sum of money and let him leave with his family, if Long Muyun has any ideas in the future, or gives Ye Xun a stumbling block or something, Ye Xun doesn't mind letting him disappear forever.

glanced at the prefect and said lightly: "You can go back and write a fold, my father doesn't need you to cover it up for me."

Governor Ju was almost choked by Ye Xun, but he still refused to give up, and continued: "Grandpa Ye, what happened in Yangzhou should still be handled by my Yangzhou government, right?" ”

Ye Xun frowned, and said in his heart, why is it shameless to give face? He turned his head and looked at Long Muyun beside him, and said, "Dragon Gang Master, Governor Ju wants to interrogate you, what do you think?" ”

Long Muyun was already discouraged at the moment, and he only wanted to take his family away as soon as possible, so he still had the heart to deal with these officials in Jiangnan.

looked at Ju Zhi coldly, and said, "But the 100,000 taels of silver sent to Ju Zhifu have run out?" Want to take this opportunity to blackmail but can't succeed? ”

"You, you bloody mouth!"

Ju Governor's old face suddenly turned red, he thought that Long Muyun would directly expose his ugly things, and pointed at Long Muyun with his finger, and he was almost speechless.

Long Muyun really wanted to tell the prefect of Ju, you bastard didn't see how Ye Xun's subordinates killed people, and I don't know how powerful this dead eunuch is, Lao Tzu won't talk to you.

No longer bothered with the prefect of Ju, turned to Ye Xun and bowed and said, "Father-in-law, can you allow the villain to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Ye Xun smiled slightly, glanced at the prefect of Ju intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"In the secret room of the villain's study, there are correspondence between the villain and the officials in Jiangnan, as well as an account book, which records in detail the amount of silver sent by the villain over the years and who he has sent"

Before Long Muyun's words were finished, Ju Zhifu was already weak, sliding on the ground, and still muttering to himself: "How can this be, it's not like this..."

Ye Xun sent a few of his subordinates to follow Long Muyun to get the account books and letters, and then ordered someone to arrest the Ju prefect.

I wanted to keep him for a while, but this guy kicked his nose in the face, and if he didn't clean him up, he might make some trouble.

If Ye Xun is a civil official, if Ye Xun still verifies these Jiangnan officials according to the normal procedures, can he find out what not to say, I am afraid that Ye Xun will also be deeply involved, let alone do other things.

It is precisely this kind of practice of beating the master to death with random punches, starting from the side door, and destroying the seemingly unbreakable network of collusion between officials, businessmen, and officials and bandits in Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

After taking the Ju Governor's Mansion, Ye Xun immediately regarded the Yangzhou Mansion as a temporary governor, and asked the military and civilians in Jiangnan to actively report illegal officials.

Ye Xun also knew that this move was a bit reckless, but there was no way to do it, he didn't have that time to check one by one.

For a while, a major earthquake broke out in the officialdom in Jiangnan, and many officials even fled directly with their seals, and the impeachment of Ye Xun also flew towards the capital like snowflakes.

The first one who couldn't sit still was Yao Yizhi, the governor of Nanjing, who originally wanted to pull a few princes and grandsons of Nanjing to jointly put pressure on Ye Xun.

But Yao Yizhi obviously underestimated Ye Xun's status in the hearts of these imperial relatives and relatives, and walked around Nanjing City, whether it was the Duke of the Kingdom or the Hou Ye, no one dared to come with him.

Governor Yao had no choice but to write a recital to impeach Ye Xun, and at the same time came to Ye Xun hard, in Governor Yao's heart, there was no trace of luck, hoping that Ye Xun had no evidence of his guilt in his hands.

Although Governor Yao's official position is not small, he has not been in the capital for a long time, and he has only heard about some of Ye Xun's practices, so he has not yet learned Ye Xun's domineering.

All the twists and turns of Jiangnan's impeachment of Ye Xun were directly packed and locked in a box by the cabinet headed by Yang Sichang, ready to be destroyed when Ye Xun returned.

The military camp outside Yangzhou has already begun training, nearly 2,000 Yan Gang members, after screening and selection, leaving 1,000 elites, and the rest are all taken to Liaodong, where these people will complete a three-year labor before they can be released.

These 1,000 elites were also re-dispersed, and then mixed with Lu Chun's 3,000 subordinates to form the first battalion of the new army.

However, Lu Chun also soon found out that he was only the nominal commander of these 4,000 men, because the grassroots officers were all Ye Xun's guards, and the generals under him were either dismissed or became deputies.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Xun's blatant seizure of power would definitely be resisted by the soldiers, but Ye Xun is rich!

The silver money seized by the Salt Gang Headquarters was distributed at the same time that the soldiers' salaries were doubled, which immediately stabilized the morale of the army.

The military camp was busy with training, and Long Muyun finally left with his family after completing all the tasks assigned by Ye Xun.

Long Muyun doesn't have many family members, an old wife, several concubines, and four children are also married, but Long Muyun seems to have a premonition that he won't be able to do this for long, and his sons are not involved in the affairs of the Salt Gang.

The two official ships loaded everyone in the Long family.

Ye Xun personally came to the dock to see him off, along with Long Muyun's junior brother Lifan Monk, and even his nemesis Cheng Xiaotian came.

The famous Salt Gang was wiped out by Ye Xun in a snap of a finger, and after the Cheng family father and son got the news, they came to ask for guilt with gifts as soon as possible.

In fact, Ye Xun only destroyed the main hall of the Salt Gang, and there are many branches in various parts of Jiangnan, and these need to be cleaned up slowly.

The Cheng family's father and son also learned later that the thinker Bi Wen hidden beside them was actually Long Xiaotian's person, but what was even more amazing was that Bi Wen's subordinates were from Xichang, so it was not difficult to understand why the Cao Gang's affairs couldn't be hidden from Ye Xun...
