"My lord, the student is fortunate to be alive, but he is back! As the saying goes, if you don't see each other for a day, students haven't seen adults for a long time, and they have been separated by dozens of autumns. Whining...... It's a shame for students! ”

As soon as Guan Jiu in the backyard hall saw Guo Ye coming in, he immediately pounced forward and lit up his signboard voice, and the ghost cried wolf.

Guo Ye is used to Guan Jiu's death, and he is no longer surprised.

Chen Jitao, who had never seen Guan Jiujiu, was frightened by the other party's appearance, especially when he heard Guan Jiujiu's meaty words, goosebumps suddenly rose on his body, and he said with a cold cry in his heart: "This person is also a scholar, how can he talk disgustingly and undisciplined?" It's so frivolous at the age of a handful, tsk, it's really shameless! I really don't know what such a shrewd person as Guo Tingshi values about him, and he actually entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and handed over the Yangzhou salt tax to him. ”

"Alright, okay, don't howl!"

Guo Ye gently pushed Guan Jiu away and said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Lord Chen Jitao Chen of the Mansion and Ya County." ”

As he spoke, he introduced to Chen Jitao again: "Mingren (Chen Jitao's character), this is Lord Guan Jiuguan, and I have been with me for some years. This time, I intend to let Lao Guan take over the post of Yangzhou salt transport envoy, you are more familiar with Yangzhou officialdom, and you will have to guide Lao Guan when the time comes. ”

Chen Jitao said humbly: "Lord Assassin Shi is polite, I can't talk about guidance, and the lower officials will definitely help Lord Guan more." Guan Daren, polite! ”

As he spoke, Chen Jitao cupped his fists and bowed his hand to Guan Guan with an elegant demeanor, and made a greeting salute.

As soon as Guan Jiu Jiu heard Guo Ye's introduction, his eyes had already narrowed into slits with joy, and he stepped forward to grasp Chen Jitao's hand with great affection, and said with great enthusiasm: "It turned out to be Chen Juncheng, hello hello, the student Guan Jiu Jiu has just come to Yangzhou Treasure Land, and Chen Juncheng will have to give him some advice in the future." ”

Chen Jitao was tightly held by such a big man as Guan Jiu, and he felt a lot of nausea in his heart, this guy was so enthusiastic, it was really unbearable.

Immediately, he nodded reservedly and said with a smile: "Lord Guan is polite, you and I are colleagues, and we are working for Guo Tingshi, so we should be sincerely united, friendly and mutually helpful." ”

Guan Jiu smiled and said that he was good, but he didn't seem to plan to let go of Chen Jitao's hands, but continued to smile with affection.

Seeing this, Guo Ye stepped forward and forcibly pulled Guan Jiu away, lest he continue to regurgitate Chen Jitao.

Then he asked the dove, "What happened to you to investigate?" You have been in Yangzhou for so long, but you have some eyebrows? ”

Guan Jiujiu's face tightened when he heard this, put away his sycophant spirit, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the student is worthy of his mission. After the students endured the humiliation and burden, they tried their courage, made secret visits, and peeled off the cocoon......"

"Are you finished?"

Guo Ye stiffened his face and scolded: "You are cultured? Hurry up, get to the point......"

Chen Jitao also looked at Guan Jiu with a slight anger, and secretly said in his heart, this person is really verbose, and it is not in vain to stab Master Shi that he is hypocritical.

Guan Jiu Gu laughed twice and said apologetically: "Don't be annoyed, adults, students just can't control this stinky mouth that loves to chatter, and I promise not to take it as an example." According to the students' investigation these days, the current Yangzhou salt transportation envoy Zhang Chengzong's butt is indeed not clean, and only 30% of the annual millions of taels of salt tax are handed over to the household, and the remaining 70% are basically intercepted by Zhang Chengzong. ”

"Seventy percent of the salt tax is embezzled every year? If the salt tax is 500 taels a year, then Zhang Chengzong will keep nearly 3.5 million taels in his pocket? Lao Guan, does he really have such good teeth? ”

Now Guo Ye finally believes that Yu Shinan and others were not exaggerating in Chang'an before.

Immediately, he asked, "Since you have found out, is there any real evidence?" Or is it that after taking Zhang Chengzong down, he went to court, but there were witnesses and material evidence to confront him, sue him down, and make the case confirmed? ”

Guan Jiujiu shook his head and said, "My lord, I can't hide it, the student has no evidence in his hands. Regarding these things about Zhang Chengzong, the students all listened to some of the guards in the Yanyun Yamen. ”

"Damn, how can it be used as evidence in court if the empty mouth and white teeth are falsely spread?"

Guo Ye suddenly sighed in disappointment: "Lao Guan, don't tell me that you have been in Yangzhou for so long, and you have only come into contact with the guards of the Yanyun Yamen. The guards are not core personnel, and what they say is useless. ”

Guan Jiujiu laughed a few times, said a few times of shame, and said depressedly: "My lord, the Yanyun Yamen is full of Zhang Chengzong's people, even if it is some small officials, students don't have a chance to contact it." Zhang Chengzong operated the salt transportation yamen as firmly as an iron barrel, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter to find out the news. ”

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's another busy day!" ”

Chen Jitao said with relief: "Lord Assassin Shi, it has not been a day or two since the Zhang family controls the salt tax in Yangzhou and controls the salt transportation yamen, and it is common sense that Lord Guan can't find effective evidence." Otherwise, the Yangzhou Zhang family would not be the deep-rooted No. 1 family in Yangzhou. ”

Guan Jiu smiled at Chen Jitao gratefully, his eyes rolled around, and he said softly: "My lord, although the student does not have evidence that Zhang Chengzong privately intercepted the salt tax for embezzlement, the student knows who has the account book, which records the details of the salt tax collected by the salt transportation yamen and handed over to the household department over the years. As long as you get this account book, you can prove that the annual salt tax in Yangzhou is not more than the amount handed over to the household department. When the time comes, it will be presented to the court, and the two sides will be confronted, and the truth will be revealed. ”

Guo Ye's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked hurriedly: "There is no doubt that the account book that the Yanyun Yamen sends to the household department for review every year must be fake?" You should be true of this detailed account book. Isn't this really a detailed account book, and Zhang Chengzong didn't collect it himself? ”

Guan Jiujiu shook his head and said: "As far as the students know, Zhang Chengzong was troublesome about recording the detailed account books, so he did not take care of it himself, but handed it over to a scribe under his Yanyun Yamen to handle this matter. In other words, this scribe not only made fake accounts for Zhang Chengzong, but also had a real detailed account book in his hand. ”

Guo Ye asked with interest, "Who is the name of this scribe?" Do you know each other? Can you get this detailed account book from him? Lao Guan, if you can get this detailed account book, Zhang Chengzong's grandson will definitely eat melon branding, haha, this is an opportunity to shake or even uproot the Zhang family! ”

"This scribe's surname is Xue, and his single name is Hao. This person was originally an unambitious talent, but Zhang Chengzong relied on him to become a confidant, and he was very trusted. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the true and false detailed account books to him. It's just ......"

Guan Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "The student has found several chances to meet and intersect with him, and he has also visited his home in person. But this person is very wary, and does not want to have a deep friendship with the students, at most it is just a general friendship. It was too difficult for the student to get the real detailed account book from him. ”

Guo Ye's heart sank again, grandma's, and she was happy again.

Suddenly, Guo Ye was ruthless in his heart, and said viciously: "It's really not good, let Chen Lang transfer a few good players from the Salt Gang, and pretend to be a robber at night to go to this Xue Hao to steal the account books." If Xue Hao dared not hand over the account books, he would directly destroy his Xue family and make him restless. ”

Hiss......

Chen Jitao and Guan Jiujiu's faces were stunned, Guan Jiujiu had seen some of Guo Ye's disgraceful methods, but he quickly adapted to it.

But where could Chen Jitao adapt to it, he shook his head with a somewhat moved face and persuaded: "Lord Assassin Shi, this can't be helped." This is an act of banditry, how can you do it? ”

Guo Ye said coldly: "Isn't this also a way?" Do you know where the detailed account books are, but you don't know where to start? ”

"Don't worry, sir!"

Guan Jiu Jiu approached Guo Ye and said in a low voice: "The student knows that Xue Hao has a secret that cannot be seen, maybe we can use his secret to fool the account books." However, this matter needs to be judged and laid out by adults in person. ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he was a little displeased and said: "Lao Guan, try not to speak with a big pant in the future, if you have a way, you can quickly say, you still play with me and make a turn, die?" ”

Guan Jiu Jiu laughed dryly and said, "The student's method is not sure, so I dare not guarantee that I can successfully deceive the account book from Xue Hao's hands." ”

Guo Ye frowned and waved his hand, urging: "Don't grind, hurry up, what do you have to propose?" ”

"Your Excellency!!"

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!!"

Before Guan Jiu could open his mouth, Chen Lang and Liu Zhenxuan came together with anxious expressions, and walked into the hall one after the other.

Guo Ye was suddenly beaten by the two, and he was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart, and complained: "What are you two doing in a hurry?" A Zhichong Lieutenant and a Guoyi Lieutenant came together, could it be that you Zhichong Governor's Mansion caught fire? ”

Liu Zhenxuan trotted to Guo Ye and reported in a panic: "Master Hou, it's even more serious than the fire in the Zhichong Governor's Mansion, something happened in the city!" ”

Chen Lang raised his voice and added at the right time: "Guo Tingshi, something big happened in Yangzhou City, you should quickly think of a way to deal with it!" ”

Gurgle~

Guo Ye was suddenly made by the two of them, grandma, the matter of the Yanyun Yamen has not been solved here, and there is a big incident in Yangzhou City over there? It seems that his Yangzhou assassin history is really not good!

It is a wave of unsettled and wave after wave......
