The matter of the second assistant is a foregone conclusion, no matter what means Wen Chun or others use in it, it is useless to explore it now, what Zhu Changluo really cares about is the current matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time is different from usual, the situation in Liaodong is not on the table, after all, this is an internal matter of the Jurchens, although Nurhachi has resisted the decree, but the attitude of the DPRK and China towards him is still polarized, some people agree with his defense, and some people feel that he has bad intentions.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Changluo left the Korean army and went to Yehecheng to mediate the situation, which will inevitably be criticized for not knowing the general situation, not to mention that the gang of people who impeached him in the court now kept silent about the purpose of his trip to the Jurchens, and only said that he left his post without permission as the deputy chief military officer of Pingwei and acted willfully, which made it difficult for him to have anything to argue.

After all, the emperor's secret decree cannot be announced!

If the courtiers knew that the emperor secretly ordered a prince to go to Liaodong and design to annihilate the army of the subordinate tribes, it would be too ugly to hear.

Originally, Zhu Yijun instructed Zhu Changluo to do this matter, and Zhu Yijun should naturally be responsible for the pressure from the government and the opposition, but the current situation in the palace is like this, although Queen Wang said that Zhu Yijun did not have the intention of easy storage in his heart.

But Zhu Changluo felt that he couldn't pin all his hopes on this father who might or may not be reliable.

"Your Highness, it really doesn't matter to His Highness He about the Changlu Salt Farm this time, but in the past few days, the old man has inquired and got an amazing news!"

Fang Congzhe's face was solemn and said.

"The smuggler who Lu Qing designed to arrest is very powerful in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the reason why he can have such a big influence is said to be because he has a lot of relationship with the palace!"

"In the palace?"

Zhu Changluo frowned, but he also realized that things were not simple, and he thought for a moment, his eyes lit up.

"Zheng?"

Except for this one, I'm afraid there is no other place that will have anything to do with him!

Fang Congzhe nodded, then hesitated a little, and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, that Lu Qing is the old man's friend, after this accident, he was escorted back to Beijing for trial, and the old man also ran for him, so he is much clearer about the case, according to Lu Qing, the smuggler is named Zheng Qingshan, who is famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is said to be the nephew of the concubine in the palace.

However, this sentence made Zhu Changluo strange for a while, and paused.

"Sir, slow, as far as this king knows, the Zheng family has only one nephew, named Zheng Wenshan, who should be a young man who is about the same as this king, how can he be a famous smuggler in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

This dynasty is very sensitive to the interference of foreign relatives, and most of the family members of the concubines in the palace live in Beijing, and the Zheng family does have only one nephew, which Zhu Changluo is very sure of.

He still had a big holiday with this Young Master Zheng, and now this Young Master Zheng is probably living in peace and security in Beijing, how can he have the time to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sell smuggled salt......

"Your Highness, don't worry, Lu Qing also thought that Zheng Qingshan was swaggering and cheating, so he directly found the Salt Section Lifting Division and the local prefect, but the situation was very unsatisfactory, in the face of such an illegal illegal salt dealer, the Salt Raising Division and the local prefect both passed the buck to each other and agreed to come down in person, but as soon as he turned around, he left it behind, Lu Qing waited for more than half a month, but there was no news, so he had to continue to track it down by himself......"

Fang Congzhe naturally knew about this section, but he motioned to Zhu Changluo to calm down and continue to speak.

Speaking of this, Zhu Changluo also sensed that something was wrong, although the imperial history was seven grades, it was one of the most powerful official positions below the third rank of this dynasty, especially the imperial history of patrolling salt, not only holding real power in his hands and being able to mobilize part of the local forces, but also as long as Lu Qing would truthfully report the things he had found, the salt promotion and the local prefect would not be guaranteed.

This is also one of the reasons why local officials are respectful to the imperial history of the patrol, and not everyone has the opportunity to reach the heavens.

These local officials, in fact, are the most shrewd, and they can make them ignore the words of the dignified salt patrol imperial history, which shows the energy behind Zheng Qingshan.

"What about the results?"

Zhu Changluo asked.

There is no doubt that this Zheng Qingshan's power is not small, and Lu Qing must have found out some truth, otherwise, he would not have set up a bureau to arrest Zheng Qingshan.

Lu Qing investigated in many ways, and finally found out that this Zheng Qingshan really had something to do with the palace, he was the nephew of Zheng's elder brother Zheng Yangxing's concubine, who was born as a scoundrel in the market. It's just that it's still dominated by private salt......"

"Ridiculous! Did the magistrate just ignore it? ”

Zhu Changluo's face sank, and he said angrily.

Just relying on the name of a nephew of the Zheng family can make a smuggler arrogant for so long, and even now, he dares to frame the imperial history of the imperial court in turn, which is really bold!

Up to now, Zhu Changluo can basically be sure that in this impeachment of Lu Qing, I am afraid that Zheng Qingshan's shadow is indispensable.

Otherwise, Xu Youwei was thousands of miles away, how could he know what Lu Qing had done.

You must know that the rights and responsibilities of the imperial history are clear, and each imperial history has its own area of responsibility, Xu Youwei is not a patrol of the imperial history, how can he rashly grasp so much evidence.

"His Royal Highness is angry, the magistrate is probably also powerless, after Lu Qing found out Zheng Qingshan's identity, after several investigations, he found out another secret thing, it turned out that Zheng Qingshan was fearless in the Changlu Salt Field under the banner of the Zheng family, it was not that no one had taken care of it, but as soon as he intervened, he was under pressure from above......"

Fang Congzhe's words made Zhu Changluo raise his eyebrows, it seems that this Zheng Qingshan is really not a person to think about.

There is no doubt that the pressure above that Fang Congzhe said is definitely not from the Zheng family, the name of the Zheng family is indeed useful, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the concubines in the palace cannot scare the local officials.

A person who can have such energy must be a person with real power in the court.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, it was the mining tax eunuch who intervened, and at that time, the mining tax eunuch also hinted that this matter came from higher pressure, and it was very likely to be ......"

For some reason, Fang Congzhe was a little hesitant and paused before saying.

"It may be the eunuch Tian Yi who is the master of ceremonies!"
