Chapter 116: The Handle

[Ask for recommendations!] Ask for a tip! The excitement continues! 】

Duan Zhi didn't know that Wang Jin had been imprisoned, and after arriving at the Taishou Mansion, he looked around, but he didn't see Wang Jin, and he was suspicious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What are you looking for?" Jiang Sheng walked out of the back hall.

"Jiang Taishou, why haven't you seen Lord Juncheng?" Duan Zhi asked.

"This county lord is really sad for this official." Jiang Sheng's face was full of shame.

"I wonder what happened to Lord Juncheng?"

"Le'an is rich in salt, and Ben Taishou retook several large salt farms back into the official camp before leaving office last time, but Lord Juncheng actually paid attention to the salt tax."

Duan Zhi stumbled and asked, "This, this, this is impossible, the salt tax has always been in charge of the lower officials." ”

"Yes, he also knows that you are in charge, so he has a relationship with you."

"Xiaguan - Xiaguan doesn't understand if what the lord said means otherwise?" Duan Zhi was already speechless.

"Master Duan, do you still need me to say it?" Jiang Sheng stared at Duan Zhi deadly.

Duan Zhi didn't dare to look at Jiang Sheng and fell silent.

"Master Duan, everyone understands people, Wang Juncheng is in Linji Prison at the moment, there are some things I have to say, it's still not convenient to relay, do you understand?"

"Adults save me!" Duan Zhi knelt down in front of Jiang Sheng with a crying voice.

Jiang Sheng laughed secretly in his heart, he cheated out like this.

"Master Duan, I think there are some things that you won't hide, right?"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials have recruited all the officials, and they will never dare to hide anything." Duan Zhi was already frightened at this moment.

"Come on, the four treasures of the study are waiting. Master Duan, whether you can survive today depends on this black and white letter. Jiang Sheng threatened.

"Xia Guan understands! Xia Guan understands! Duan Zhi was in a hurry to get out, and began to write.

Jiang Sheng looked at it and was secretly shocked, five of the several major salt farms he recovered turned out to be poorly managed and unable to pay taxes, and only one was able to pay taxes.

Good guys, this straight is really bold enough.

Duan Zhi confessed that he conspired with Wang Jin to set up Xiahoulan, and then together they fabricated a lie about the collapse of five salt farms, reported it to Shaofu, and only paid the salt tax of one salt farm every month. The rest of the income was privately divided between him and Wang Jin.

"My lord! The lower officials have done these wrong things, and I hope that the adults will save me. ”

"You can save you, but Ben Taishou doesn't want to see you two again." Jiang Sheng said.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! Duan Zhi knelt in front of Jiang Sheng and kowtowed like pounding garlic, he thought that Jiang Sheng was going to kill him.

"I'm not going to kill you, you don't have to be scared like this. Come, go and bring Wang Jin. Yang Feng, Xia Houlan and others walked out of the back hall, and then Yang Feng took people to Linji Prison.

"The lower official went to hand over the embezzled salt tax and gave it to the adult, begging the adult to spare my life."

"Duan Zhi, this official is not a corrupt and bribe-taking person, do you want to frame me?"

"Don't dare! Can't! The lower officials don't know what to do, and they hope that the adults will show the way. ”

Jiang Sheng didn't pay attention to Duan Zhi anymore, but sat on the main seat, waiting for Wang Jin to be brought.

After a short time, Yang Feng took Wang into the lobby of the Taishou Mansion.

Wang Jin saw Duan Zhi looking so down, and was secretly frightened, what kind of tricks did Jiang Sheng play, Duan Zhi was also cheated by him?

"Yang Feng, bring Duan Zhi into the side room, take care of it, I want to talk to Wang Juncheng."

Wang Jin was frightened, and he didn't know what Jiang Sheng wanted to talk to him about.

"Wang Jin, how much salt tax have you embezzled?"

"Huh? Salt tax? The lower officials have never been contaminated with the salt tax, it is a straight errand, and the lower officials have no right to interfere. ”

"Wang Jin, don't play tricks, what crime should you be guilty of conspiring with that Duan Zhi and deceiving your superiors and subordinates?"

"What is the danger of adding sin? If you want to get rid of the lower officials, I have nothing to say. ”

"The collapse of the salt farm, I am about to report the truth to the Shaofuqing, it seems that you are waiting for the Shaofuqing to pass you on for questioning?"

"Y-what nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Jin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wang Jin, Wang Jin, if you don't want to die, you should honestly explain your problems, otherwise Ben Taishou will show the emperor and treat you for the crime of bullying and embezzlement!"

"Spare your life! Xia Guan knows that he is wrong! Wang Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"It's okay to spare your life, it's up to you to tell the truth. Pen and ink waiting! Xia Houlan spread out the paper on the case, dipped the brush in ink, and handed it to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin trembled and wrote on the paper, Jiang Sheng saw that the two of them wrote roughly the same content, and knew that the two were not lying.

After Wang Jin finished writing, he signed and signed on it.

Jiang Sheng put away the handwritten confessions of the two, and then asked Yang Feng to bring Duan Zhi over.

Both of them knelt on the ground like frosted eggplants.

Jiang Sheng coughed lightly and said slowly: "The official doesn't want to embarrass you, but he doesn't want to see you again, what do you say should be done?" ”

The words are very straightforward, just drive these two people away. Wang Jin and Duan Zhi were not fools, they had already heard what Jiang Sheng meant.

"My lord, please rest assured, we will leave Le'an tomorrow and never set foot in Le'an." Wang Jindao.

"Yes, we will return to Beijing tomorrow and no longer interfere with the governance of Le'an."

"When you go back, what about the closure of this salt factory...?"

"Le'an has been flooded repeatedly, and the conditions for salt production are no longer available, so there is no need to set up salt officials." Duan Zhi is very smart.

Wang Jin didn't react for a while, but when he saw Duan Zhi's eyes, he immediately understood that Jiang Sheng wanted to occupy these salt farms.

"Lord Duan's sentence is true, and the subordinate can testify. Since Le'an no longer produces salt, it is difficult for the lower officials to be the important responsibility of the county, so he returned to Beijing with Lord Duan to resume his life. ”

"Then there won't be two officials left."

"My lord, the salt tax money that we are greedy for ink is hidden in the No. 2 salt field, please check it." Straight Road.

"Yang Feng, Xiahou Lan, take Lord Duan to pick up the stolen goods." Jiang Shengling said.

At dusk, Yang Feng came back and found 1.46 million yuan.

Jiang Sheng said to Duan Zhi and Wang Jin: "Le'an has been poor for a long time and is in urgent need of money, so let's do it, you two will each receive 230,000 yuan, and the remaining one million yuan will be used to help Le'an County." ”

"Don't dare! Even if the adults take it, the small ones will never say the same. ”

"It doesn't have to be this way! In the past six months, you have worked hard without merit, this is what you deserve, no need to shirk. You will stay overnight in this Taishou Mansion tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone to escort you back to Beijing. ”

On the second day, Jiang Sheng ordered Yang Feng to send fifty troops to escort Wang Jin and Duan Zhi back to Beijing.

"Lord, let these two go back, will it be to let the tiger return to the mountain?" Xia Houlan was worried that the two would tell the truth.

"There are autographed confessions in my hands, even if they are tigers, they are paper tigers. Shaofu is in charge of the emperor's money, if I present this evidence to the emperor, I am afraid that he Shaofu will also be implicated. Duan Zhi and Wang Jinjiu are in the palace, and they will not dig their own graves. ”

Xia Houlan relieved herself and accompanied Jiang Sheng back to the Taishou Mansion, but saw Zhang He waiting in the mansion.

"Why did you come here?" Jiang Sheng asked.

"A strange oil was found on the mountain, and the subordinates are unknown, so I have come to ask the lord to move and check." Zhang He said the purpose of coming to Taishou Mansion.

Jiang Sheng was also puzzled, strange oil? What is it?
