"Lord Changshi, I believe you already know the purpose of my coming to Yangzhou, right?"

Wu Shengqing said with a smile: "I know, of course the lower officials know, it's to check the salt tax, right?" ”

"Exactly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Luo Yi said: "Lord Changshi, I will say the ugly words in front, the emperor is determined to investigate the Huainan salt tax this time, and he is also sure that there must be a problem with the Huainan salt tax. You know the consequences, right? ”

Wu Shengqing's face was ugly, he nodded again and again, and said, "I know, no matter what the Hou Ye commands, the lower officials will do their best." ”

"That's for the best."

sounded a wake-up call to Wu Shengqing, Luo Yi began to sweep the delicacies on the table, he hadn't eaten properly for several days, and he was hungry for a long time. Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong were not polite, sitting next to Luo Yi, there were many large pieces.

Wu Shengqing sat opposite, glanced at Luo Yi from time to time, and then lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't eat, and there seemed to be a wrinkle on his forehead, as if he was worried.

"Wu Changshi, what are you thinking, you can't be thinking about how to deal with me, right? Ha ha.... ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Luo Yi raised his head and looked at Wu Shengqing, and said teasingly.

Wu Shengqing smiled awkwardly: "Where is it, how dare the lower officials." ”

Luo Yi said: "I won't say anything superfluous, let's start tomorrow, starting from the salt tax investigation, hand over all the case records left by the government in the past few years to me, and I will check them one by one." ”

"No problem, no problem..."

Wu Shengqing agreed repeatedly.

After eating, Wu Shengqing left. Luo Yi stayed with Zhao Wenyong and Zhao Wenxian and stayed at Yangzhou Station. Now that you have made your identity clear, you don't need to go back to the Human Inn again, lest you encounter something like the last time.

"Big brother, how do I feel like Wu Shengqing has something unfinished?"

After Wu Shengqing left, Zhao Wenxian asked with a frown.

Luo Yi smiled and said, "You can see it too?" ”

"Hmm."

Luo Yi said: "As I expected, the matter of salt tax has nothing to do with him. The crows in the world are generally black, Huainan is such a big stall, if it weren't for his nod, would the salt merchants dare to do that. ”

"Lao Tzu will start with him first! When he is settled, the rest will be taken care of. I don't believe he can get away. ”

Speaking of auditing, Luo Yi has a lot of experience, not that he has checked it before, but learned it by watching TV.

Generally, to check fake accounts, you must be an expert to see it, and ordinary account room gentlemen are definitely not good, so Luo Yi decided to wait for dawn to go to the major prison cells to have a look, and release all the prisoners who were arrested for making false accounts before, and check them together until they are clear.

"Big brother, this method is good, let's catch him off guard."

...........

That night, in the Yangzhou Mansion, Wu Shengqing's house, more than a dozen gorgeously dressed people gathered, talking to each other, as if discussing something.

Not long after, Wu Shengqing walked into the house, closed the door with his own hands, and then walked up and sat down.

"Lord Changshi..."

"Sit down, don't be rude."

The crowd took their seats.

Wu Shengqing said: "You already know about Luo Yi, I took two entourages to Yangzhou, saying that it was to check the salt tax." ”

"I know, I already knew, let him check, it's strange if he can find out!"

The man who spoke was a man over half a hundred years old, who was relatively obese, and he looked like a rich man. The most important thing is that he is sitting at the head of the crowd, and he is obviously the leader in the room except for Wu Shengqing.

Wu Shengqing said: "You can't say that, Luo Yi is different from those previous Qincha, and he is not the identity of Qincha this time, nor does he have the holy decree given by the emperor, just a warrant from Lu Guogong." ”

Huang Yan laughed and said, "Then don't be afraid." ”

Huang Yan is the man who spoke just now.

At this time, another person interjected: "Otherwise, it is precisely because he is different from the previous Qincha that he is terrible, besides, this Luo Yi is a Hou Ye, and his identity cannot be compared with the previous Qincha, there are some things that we still can't do too much." ”

Huang Yan snorted coldly: "What can't be too much? He wants to check Yangzhou salt and say, is it that easy? We still won't let us rebel? I don't care what his identity is, or the old way, he can't go back when he comes here! ”

Suddenly, Wu Shengqing thought of something and asked, "President Huang, I want to ask you a small question, I hope you can answer it truthfully." ”

"Wu Changshi said that it doesn't matter, as long as I know, I must know everything."

Wu Shengqing said: "The day before yesterday at the Human Inn, Luo Yi drank a cup of poisonous tea, and the tea... But you sent someone to poison it? ”

"Also, I also heard that Luo Yi and his entourage, when they entered the Huainan border, were chased and killed by several assassins, this matter..."

Huang Yan secretly sneered and said with a smile: "It seems that not only are we fighting against Luo Yi, but there are other people who don't want him to return to Chang'an." Wu Changshi, I'll tell you the truth, the poisonous tea was indeed made by me, but unfortunately I didn't kill these three people, as for those killers, they were not sent by me, they should be another group of people. ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing, in this way, they don't need to do anything, there are people to help them, maybe they won't be able to wait for Luo Yi to finish checking the accounts, and they will already die.

However, Wu Shengqing didn't think so, seeing that everyone's expressions were wrong, Wu Shengqing said: "This official will say hello to you first, Luo Yi is different from those previous Qincha, and he must not be killed, you should dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

"Why?"

Wu Shengqing said: "You think, you have already startled the snake, Luo Yi must have taken precautions, and now that he has revealed his identity, if something happens at the post station, then..." ”

Wu Shengqing's rebuttal was obviously very weak, and Huang Yan said: "What is this? He died from his own enemy, what does it have to do with us, Wu Changshi, don't worry, I will do things cleanly. ”

Wu Shengqing hurriedly said: "Why don't you understand, Luo Yi is the Hou Ye, if a Hou Ye is killed, do you know how big the matter is?" Even if it is not the fault of the official, the imperial court will remove the official from his post or give him a corresponding punishment, after all, Luo Yi is in Yangzhou; Can the Luo family, Cheng Yanjin and others let me go? Are you trying to harm your own officials?! ”

"This..."

Huang Yan said embarrassedly: "That... Then listen to Lord Changshi, and leave him alive for the time being. ”

"Actually, he can't find anything, let him check it, the accounts are all done, just by him, what can he see?"

Wu Shengqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Before dawn, Luo Yi, Zhao Wenxian, and Zhao Wenyong came to the front of the Yangzhou Mansion, and beat the shock drum again, waking Wu Shengqing up.

"Lord Changshi, where is the ledger I want?"

Wu Shengqing swayed to the main hall with Hache, Xu didn't sleep well last night, and his face was quite bad: "Master Hou, you are really dedicated, and the official admires you." ”

"Come on, go and get out all the accounts of the salt tax for the past three years."

"Yes."

A few soldiers walked away quickly.

Luo Yi sat down and said: "Wu Changshi, it's not that the official is dedicated, it's forced by the situation, the emperor is anxious to know the situation of the salt tax in Huainan, and he has urged him several times, but I am also helpless, I believe that Lord Changshi also hopes to check it as soon as possible, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, right?" ”
