After Luo Yangxing arranged the situation in Huai'an, he sent a team of Jinyi guards to the Huai'an salt field to verify the salt matter, and he took people to release the ship directly to Nanjing.

Before leaving, he had a secret conversation with Li Shengjin, and when Li Shengjin came out, his complexion had changed a lot, and he got a guarantee that Luo Yangxing would no longer hold him accountable, and Luo Yangxing got the data on the number of public ships and cargo capacity every year since Li Shengjin became the commissioner.

When he came to Nanjing, Cao Huachun was already waiting at the city gate. Everyone came to the station of the East Factory, which is also the guard of Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing gave Cao Huachun what was found out of the Huai'an banknote pass: "In addition to Huai'an, Linqing, Yangzhou, Hushu, Beixin and other banknotes have also obtained the so-called evidence that official ships do not pay taxes, and the Yangtze River Passes, Wuchang Pass, Jiujiang Pass, and Wuhu Pass have all sent people to investigate. ”

Cao Huachun said: "It's really almost the same, and now there is more evidence pointing to Wang Tu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, as well as Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Households." These three people are all from Donglin, and it is not wrong for the saint to say that the south is like the Ming Dynasty, and its roots are in the Donglin people. It's just that how to get them in trouble is debatable. ”

Luo Yangxing said: "What else, as soon as Ti rides out, the lock is taken to Beijing, or it is tried on the spot in Nanjing, what is the difficulty?" The confiscation we confiscated in Huai'an involves the former Shangshu Wang Ji, and it can also be arrested together. ”

Cao Huachun said: "How can it be, we have arrested some of their subordinates, but if we directly lock up the first-grade and second-grade officials, not to mention that those officials are not convinced, it is the public opinion, and it is not something we can resist." Why didn't the Holy Lord order the cabinet to come, if Master Ye didn't come, it would be good for Master Sun to come. ”

Luo Yangxing said: "Sun Ge Lao is still arguing with the Mongols, we are going to do something to Hetao, how can he have time to come to Jiangnan." Besides, we have a holy body, and the factory guards in Jiangnan don't say 10,000, but 5 or 6,000, I don't believe they can turn the sky. ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "My Luo Commander Envoy, the people who are in Jiangnan are all functional, and less than a thousand can be transferred." What can you do when the people block our door? Do you just kill them with a knife in your hand? No, I'm going to find Zhao Dongnan first, with the support of the guards, I'm bolder. ”

Luo Yangxing said: "Zhao is in Suzhou, he is only a southeast general, and what he can command is only the soldiers in the southeast general's mansion, and he has no way to command the field army, how many soldiers can he have in the general's mansion?" The saint and the factory only sent our factory guards, but you have to call for troops everywhere, and it will be done, and you will not have the face to see those guards in the future. The factory said that as long as there is evidence, anyone can do it. Our evidence is conclusive, do they dare to rebel? ”

Cao Huachun said: "If they rebel, of course they will die, but we don't want to die?" Who do you think can take the responsibility of forcing Jiangnan? It is impossible for you and me, then it will definitely involve Commander Luo and the factory officer. ”

At this time, the observer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption said: "Everyone Cao, why do you think that you will definitely force Jiangnan to rebel? Nanjing has one of the two largest courts in the world, and the Nanjing court has the power of final adjudication, and the "Tax Law" has already been formulated and promulgated. As soon as we hand over the evidence to the court, and the court asks us to take people, that's the court's business, and the court doesn't let us take people, so won't there be nothing for us? ”

Cao Huachun said: "The court will definitely let us take people, and there are a few bailiffs in the court who maintain order, who can be taken, and who dare to take them." ”

The observer said: "That's simple, we were ordered by the Nanjing court to take people, how can they slander us?" We're only responsible for delivering orders, and the courts can do anything for us. ”

Luo Yangxing said: "The Nanjing court has only been established for more than two years, and the small case has been tried below, and the big case has never been over, can they take this matter?" ”

The observer smiled: "Before leaving, His Majesty told us, watch more, talk less, and don't move." Xu Ge Lao said that he must believe that the world is under the great tomorrow, and most of the people of the Ming Dynasty are clear about good and evil, and know black and white. The court is a new thing that His Majesty has vigorously advocated in recent years, and the response has been quite good in recent years, so why can't we give them some trust? ”

Luo Yangxing sighed a little unwillingly, and the observer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption relayed what Xu Guangqi said, which can be regarded as explicit. If this is done, it is true that the factory guard will not have any responsibility, but correspondingly, the final meritorious reward, the factory guard will not have any brilliance. He said: "Okay, let's sort out the evidence first, detain it first, further enrich the evidence, and then submit it to the court after everything is safe." ”

The next day, Jin Yiwei began to go to the various prefectures to take the subordinates, and the attitude of the prefectures was surprisingly consistent: if you want to take people, you can take the driving sticker. When they want to come, come here from Beijing, take a few family members, and they will never have a driving sticker first. I don't think Wei Zhongxian has already thought of this, and has prepared a large number of blank driving stickers, which have been issued by the Criminal Division.

Originally, this was unruly, and Xue Dazhong was unwilling to do so, but Wei Zhongxian agreed, and after returning to Beijing, all driving stickers would be taken back for review, and if there was a name that had nothing to do with tax evasion, the factory guard would be punished, which made him reluctant to issue three hundred tickets to the factory guard.

The bright driving sticker stretched out in front of him, and the provinces had no choice, so they prepared to report to the head of the family while dragging it. How could Jinyiwei let them get their way, driving in their hands, how can legal things make you procrastinate, so these important handlers were mentioned by Jinyiwei to the guard.

These people were intimidated by the momentum of the Jinyiwei, and seeing that the family could not protect them at all, the Jinyiwei was slightly intimidated, so they recruited them all one by one. Looking at the accumulation of evidence, Cao Huachun's heart was a little calmer.

At noon, first of all, Zheng Sanjun, the head of the Nanjing household department, came to dignitary in person. Luo Yangxing welcomed him in and invited him to sit down for tea. Zheng Sanjun didn't sit down at all, and said: "The family is stubborn, and they are wanted by Tiqi for some reason, the official will come and take them home by the way." ”

Luo Yangxing said: "These family members are involved in the evasion of taxes by fake official ships, and we Jinyiwei invited them to assist in the investigation. ”

Zheng Sanjun smiled playfully: "Assist in the investigation, but assist with a sparse beating?" The means of the factory guard have also been heard of by the official. Under Miki, why can't you ask for it, you say that they rebelled, and they will naturally admit it. ”
