For two days in a row, the chief Shi He Yu of the Prime Minister's Mansion had not rested much because he was in charge of the task of tracking down the illicit salt, and just today, the matter had come to an eyebrow, and he happily ran towards the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was late at night, as the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao would usually stay in the study at this time, and this time was no exception, Wang Dao was holding a book in his hand to read, and suddenly a high-pitched voice came from outside the study: "Changshi He Xi, please see the prime minister!" ”

As soon as Director Wang heard He Yu's voice, he immediately put down the book he was reading, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ”

He Yu strode into the study, walked straight to Director Wang, first bowed to Director Wang, and then said: "Prime Minister Qi, the matter of private salt has already been resolved!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Director Wang couldn't wait.

He Yu said: "After several days of secret surveillance, as well as tracking the most suspicious man in black, it can finally be determined that the person who manipulated the Salt Gang behind the scenes is hiding in a mansion in Qingxi, and now that mansion has been closely monitored by us, as long as the prime minister gives an order, you can go in and arrest people for torture." ”

Director Wang said with a smile: "He Changshi's work efficiency is really high, and he deserves to be the right and left hand of his own appearance." Where is the mansion you said in Qingxi? ”

"In a house on the far right of Qingxi, the owner of that house is surnamed Li and called Li Zhen, so this house is called Li Yuan." He Xi reported.

Li Zhen!

When Director Wang heard this person's name, his chest felt as if he had been slammed with a heavy object, and at the same time, his mind was like an explosion, the pain was abnormal, and the whole person sat there like a puddle of mud paralysis, and his face was full of horror.

Director Wang clutched his chest, his eyes were full of doubts, and the result of this matter was completely beyond his imagination.

Prime Minister Shi Heyu stood in front of Director Wang, this was the first time he saw Director Wang so panicked, Director Wang was fine just now, why did he suddenly become like this?

He Yu hurriedly asked with concern, "Prime Minister, are you okay?" Do you want someone to call a doctor? ”

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "No need." He Changshi, this matter must be kept secret, and you must not talk about it to the second person, now please go to Li Yuan immediately, evacuate all the people, don't startle the snake, you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, the prime minister will deal with it! ”

He Yu frowned, there was a burst of doubt in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Qi, regarding the case of illegal salt, all the spearheads have been pointed at Li Yuan, and his subordinates have laid a net around Li Yuan, as long as the prime minister gives an order, none of the people in Li Yuan can escape, and seeing that this case is about to be solved, why did the prime minister let his subordinates withdraw everyone?" In this way, isn't the previous work wasted? ”

Wang Dao's face was gloomy, and he said coldly to He Yu: "He Changshi, do you want to disobey the order of the true appearance? ”

"He Yu doesn't dare!" He Yu hurriedly arched his hand.

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and do what you say!" Wang Daodao.

Although He Jun was reluctant in his heart, he still let out a "sigh" and slowly exited the study.

Director Wang was worried that He Yu would not do what he said, so he called Wang Zhun and asked Wang Zhun to personally follow He Yu to deal with the matter.

After that, Director Wang called the guards and asked, "Has Yue'er ever been in the house?" ”

The guard said: "The eldest prince has not returned from his outing!" ”

Wang Dao said: "Once Yue'er returns, let him come to the study to see me immediately!" ”

"Whoa!"

The candle flame in the study flickered and dimmed, and Director Wang's mood was like the candle flame, when he heard the word Li Zhen, he knew that the matter of private salt was by no means as simple as he imagined, and his son Wang Yue was actually involved in it.

Qingxi's Li Yuan, although the owner is called Li Zhen, but it is just to cover people's eyes, Li Zhen is just a false name, but the actual owner is Li Zhen's master, that is, Wang Yue, the eldest son of Wang Dao.

Li Zhen is a guard by Wang Yue's side, only a very few people know about it, and Wang Dao still clearly remembers that he arranged Li Zhen by Wang Yue's side, the main purpose is to ensure Wang Yue's safety.

This result was not what Director Wang wanted, he never dreamed that his son Wang Yue would be involved in the case of private salt.

Director Wang was pacing alone in the study, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he kept thinking about why Wang Yue was involved in the matter of private salt.

Suddenly, Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he remembered the case of the Holy Decree two days ago, first the Holy Decree case involved Yu Liang, and then the case of private salt involved his son Wang Yue, these two things seem to be two cases that have nothing to do with each other, but as long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that these two cases are faintly related to a person, and that person is the prince Sima Shao.

Yu Liang is the prince's brother-in-law, Wang Yue and the prince are friends, if these two things have nothing to do with the prince, Wang Dao will not believe it.

Gradually, things have surfaced, and Director Wang thinks of what the prince's party has done recently, and it is not difficult to find clues.

The crown prince Sima Shao is intelligent, both civil and military, and good at being a corporal of etiquette and virtue, and maintains a delicate relationship with the ministers of the court and the central government, and the government and the opposition are full of praise for this prince.

Although Director Wang is also very optimistic about the crown prince Sima Shao, but the prince's recent series of activities are a bit abnormal, could it be that the prince can't bear the loneliness and wants to ascend the throne in advance?

The more Director Wang thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

About a stick of incense later, Wang Yue came to the study, and after seeing Wang Dao, he bowed respectfully: "Father, are you looking for me?" ”

When Wang Dao saw Wang Yue coming, he straightened his face and said to Wang Yue angrily: "Rebel! On your knees! ”

Wang Yue was confused by Director Wang, but he still knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Father, I don't know what the child did wrong to make his father so angry?" ”

Director Wang said with a gloomy face: "You did a good thing yourself, and you still asked me?" Let me give you a heads-up, do you know about the Salt Gang? ”

As soon as Wang Yue heard the word Salt Gang, his brows furrowed, and he already had some guesses in his heart, but he still said: "The child doesn't know what the Salt Gang is talking about by his father......

Wang Dao said angrily: "Rebel! I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! If I didn't have the hard evidence, how would I dare to tell you about the Salt Gang? You don't admit it, right, since you haven't heard of the salt gang, then you should always know about Li Zhen's Li Yuan, right? ”

Wang Yue's heart trembled, with his understanding of his father, if Director Wang didn't grasp anything, he didn't dare to speculate, so Wang Yue no longer concealed it, and asked Director Wang: "Father is investigating the rampant illegal salt?" ”

Wang Daodao: "The rampant private salt, I thought it was just a trivial matter, but I didn't expect that Li Yuan would be involved in the end, Li Yuan is nominally Li Zhen's village, but in fact, you and I both know that the real owner of Li Yuan is you!" I can't believe that you are actually manipulating the salt gang to sell illicit salt behind your back for huge profits! ”

Wang Yue just lowered his head, but didn't say a word.

Director Wang slowed down slightly, and seeing that Wang Yue didn't say a word, he could basically conclude that Wang Yue was indeed involved. So, he asked tentatively: "Did you do this yourself, or did someone secretly instruct it?" ”

Wang Yue was still silent, but his heart was already up and down.

"Is that what the prince meant?" Director Wang continued to ask.

Wang Yue still kept her head down and didn't speak.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Director Wang saw that Wang Yue was like this, and basically had the answer in his heart. He squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently patted Wang Yue's shoulder, and said slowly: "When my father made you friends with the prince, it was intended to continue the prosperity of my Wang clan, not to let you and the prince go together. Whatever your intentions, I hope you don't do anything stupid after tonight. After tonight, the Salt Gang will disappear forever, and all the blame will be borne by the Salt Gang. I hope you will convey a word to the prince for me, please calm the prince for a while, no matter when, my Langya Wang clan will support the prince, but the premise is that the prince must be virtuous. ”

Wang Yue knew that Director Wang had guessed some answers, and after listening to Director Wang's words, Wang Yue couldn't hold back any longer, suddenly raised his head, looked at Director Wang and said: "Father, recently the child also heard that His Majesty is preparing to depose his father as prime minister, and his father is loyal to His Majesty, but in the end he ended up like this, and even the prince cried out for his father. If the crown prince could ascend the throne earlier, with the prince's respect for his father, he would inevitably entrust his father with important responsibilities, and there would never be a similar thing, so the child was ......"

Wang Dao said angrily: "Shut up! Although the crown prince is the son of His Majesty, he is also a courtier, you and I, as human ministers, should be loyal to the king, how dare we have the slightest distraction? You go back and tell the prince, no matter what he is doing now, please stop all illegal activities immediately, otherwise, you will be the enemy of my Langya Wang clan!" ”

"Father's ......"

"Get out!" Wang Dao said angrily.

Wang Yue saw that Director Wang was angry, he knew Director Wang's temper, so he simply stood up, hurriedly ran out of the study, and then went directly out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went towards the Prince's Mansion.

Director Wang looked at the back of Wang Yue leaving, but there was a shadow in his heart, he has been diligent in government affairs in recent years, and neglected to discipline his son Wang Yue, I don't want Wang Yue to have undergone subtle changes, and he actually collaborated with the prince to do this kind of unsightly deed.

However, Director Wang did not resent Wang Yue, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Wang Yue tried so hard to please the prince, just to wait for the prince to ascend the throne and become the new emperor's confidant.

However, Wang Yue is too eager for quick success, so that he does things recklessly, which is not mature at all. Director Wang has cultivated Wang Yue since he was a child, hoping that Wang Yue can become his successor, but he saw Wang Yue's shortcomings from this incident, and felt that Wang Yue was still too young and needed some training.
