"So that Huang Ma Fa learned that when the disaster relief in Henan last year, the sale and even the write-off of salt was all done by his grandson, if there is a difference, it is also the fault of his grandson, and it has nothing to do with Ama, however, the grandson has no doubts, and asked Huang Ma Fa to allow his grandson to ask Fan Langzhong."

Although Hongqing is also a witty person, but under the sudden attack, he really didn't think too deeply for a while, and it was impossible to notice the strange eyes of the gang of brothers behind him, and he only wanted to exonerate the third master from responsibility, of course, Hongqing has never been the master who only takes the beating and does not fight back, since he dares to stand up, he naturally has the means to fight back, and while taking the blame, he is also ready to **** calculations.

"yes, that's right."

The old man's original intention was not to punish the third master seriously, so naturally he would not stop Hongqing's counterattack, and he agreed to Hongqing's invitation without hesitation.

"Grandson, thank you Emperor Mafaronne."

The reason why Hongqing proposed to confront Fan Shijie was a signal to fight back, but in fact, it was also an attempt to test the old man's bottom limit, and when he saw the old man, he knew that the old man actually had no intention of punishing the third master for this matter, and he felt a little at ease in his heart, so he hurriedly thanked him, and then turned around, glanced at Fan Shijie disdainfully, and said indifferently: "Fan Langzhong is invited." ”

"Don't dare, Qing Baylor has a lot of advice, just listen to it."

Fan Shijie has always been known as a "strong donkey" in the household department, he is very stubborn by nature, and others are afraid of Hongqing's sharp rhetoric, but Fan Shijie doesn't care, as early as when the household department pays off the debt, he has the idea of seeing a real chapter with Hongqing, but unfortunately there is no room for him to play at all, and there are a lot of regrets in his heart.

"I don't dare to advise, but there are a few questions and ask Fan Langzhong to solve one or two, well, according to Fan Langzhong, the Sun family transported 500,000 catties of salt to Hubei, according to investigation, it is 100,000 catties more than the approved one, but is there any empirical evidence?"

Seeing that Fan Shijie's eyes were wrong, Hongqing couldn't help but pause in his heart, but he didn't care much, and after a polite word, he went straight to the point.

"Qing Beile asked well, there is really empirical evidence in this matter, Hubei Salt Transport Envoy Ding Huaichuan sent an official letter half a month ago, stating that he had seized the 100,000 catties of salt smuggled by the Sun family to Wuchang, and in addition, according to the letter from He Mingfu, the two Huai Salt Transport Envoys, the Yamen of the Two Huai Salt Transport Envoys have captured the key person in this case, and have obtained relevant confessions, and the case is being further tried, I wonder if Qing Beile still has any doubts?"

Fan Shijie thought that he had a basis in his hand, and he was really not afraid of Hongqing asking about the case, so he gave it over, and explained it with a confident face.

"There is Lao Fan Langzhong who has solved his doubts, however, Ben Beile still has a question, and I don't know if the Sun family's smuggling is the only one, or is it the same for a long time?"

Hongqing didn't pay attention to Fan Shijie's provocative eyes, but nodded quietly, and continued to ask calmly.

"In this ......, He Yanyun's envoy did not say it, and the lower officials did not dare to say it."

Fan Shijie was proud, and when he heard Hongqing ask like this, he suddenly became suspicious, and after obviously hesitating for a while, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only honestly say that he didn't know.

"Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, grandson thinks that salt and iron are the foundation of the imperial court, and there is no room for mistakes, and it seems that this salt introduction is a special approval of the move, and there are people who dare to carry it, not to mention the usual, this case must be investigated deeply, in order to set an example!"

Hongqing didn't pay attention to the embarrassed Fan Shijie anymore, but turned around, bowed deeply to the old man, and said with righteous indignation.

"Huang Ama, the son thinks that what Qing Belle said is very true, this case must be thoroughly investigated to the end, the court tax is not allowed to be lost at all, since this matter is caused by Qing Baylor, you might as well be responsible for the detailed investigation by Qing Baylor, if you can put the rotten salt affairs in order, I'm afraid it's not good, here the son of the minister is also shallow, and please ask the emperor Ama to make a decision!"

Hongqing's voice had just fallen, and before the old man made a decision, he saw that the eldest brother was already out of the ranks, and sang a few high-pitched words along with Hongqing's words, and then the conversation changed, and he actually proposed that Hongqing should rectify the salt affairs.

"Emperor Ama Mingjian, Erchen thinks that what the eldest brother said is very true, with the ability of Qing Baylor, he should be the best candidate to rectify the salt affairs!"

As soon as the eldest brother proposed this, the ninth master came out of his head, and he also echoed the sentence with a sense of self-righteousness.

"Huang Ama, the benefits of salt affairs are huge, if you don't rectify it for a long time, erosion is inevitable, now it's time to clarify, and it's just right for Qing Baylor to come forward!"

As soon as the ninth master came out like this, the tenth master naturally refused to lag behind, and he also came out, grinning loudly, and pressed the burden of rectifying the salt affairs on Hongqing without much politeness.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Qing Beile has repeatedly solved strange cases, and he is the best candidate to rectify the salt business!"

……

The words of the ninth master and the tenth master are obviously a signal, and a large number of courtiers all stood up in Hulaladi, and seconded the proposal in a chaotic manner, and for a while, Hongqing really became the candidate of the public.

"Emperor Amma, the ministers think that what the ministers say is reasonable, the salt worker, the heavy land of the imperial court taxes, once it erodes, the consequences may be unbearable, now, the courtiers are unanimously recommended Qing'er, and the ministers also think that it is okay, and please ask the emperor Ama to judge!"

Before the courtiers could make a noise, the prince who was originally sitting at the foot of the steps had already gotten up, bowed to the old man in a dashing manner, and said something with a worried face.

Well? What's going on? This doesn't taste right!

Hongqing stood up this time, the original intention was just to help the third master get rid of the crime, but he didn't expect to provoke such a big scene at all, his heart sank, and his suspicion couldn't help but get bigger, but it was difficult to see the mystery hidden behind this scene for a while, because of this, Hongqing didn't dare to act rashly, but watched coldly, but his brain was running at high speed.

"Well, Qing'er, the ministers are so kind to you, do you have anything to say?"

The old man has always attached great importance to the salt affairs, and he has not issued an edict on the matter of salt affairs, but when it comes to the effect, it is really hard to say - since the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified, it has been more than 20 years now, and the population has increased nearly twice, but the salt tax income is only one-third more and slightly stronger, which is obviously a little wrong. Even though the old man was dissatisfied, but because of the collapse of the salt industry due to excessive force, he was really not very willing to make a big move, so he could only acquiesce to the status quo.

"Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, your uncles and your ministers are so gracious, your grandson doesn't dare to resign."

Say? When it comes to this, Hongqing can still say a "no", even if he says it, the old man will not necessarily be approved, rather than being forced on the stove, it is better to be simpler, in view of this, Hongqing did not hesitate, and replied very neatly.

"Well, well, I'll give you the will when I turn around."

The old man still admires Hongqing's ability very much, and his heart is also intended for Hongqing to do this errand.

"Yes, grandson will thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The old man Chrysostom is open, even if he is full of suspicions, at this time, Hongqing can only be respectful, but the doubts in his heart are inevitably a little thicker, he doesn't believe that several elder brothers will have good intentions when they join forces like this, but they can't see through the truth behind the fog, and their mood is not much better.

"Scatter!"

The matter of salt affairs is established, and the deliberations behind it have calmed down a lot, and there has never been a scene of chaotic discussion among the ministers, which is basically some secular affairs of various ministries, and after discussing for a while, they all stopped, and at this time, it was almost noon, and the old man was no longer interested in sitting in front of the Qianqing Gate, got up and walked back to the harem, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting on the side, saw this, and hurriedly shouted a voice, and the court discussion that lasted all morning was considered to be over, and all the ministers sent the old man back to the palace, and all the three or three were scattered.

"Qing'er, come!"

The court was scattered, Hongqing was full of thoughts, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he just wanted to turn around and leave, but he saw the prince smiling and greeting him at the bottom of the steps.

"The nephew knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."

Although he was full of impatience, the monarch and the ministers were there, even if he was reluctant, Hongqing did not dare to lose his manners in front of the public, so he could only rush forward and respectfully bow to the Tao.

"Well, it's free, it's free, Qing'er, salt is the foundation of the country, and there must be no mistakes, so the responsibility is heavy, and you must act cautiously, but you can't be rash, of course, if there are wrongdoers who dare to cause chaos, but there is no need to be polite, just go flat, don't worry, everything has its own palace for you."

The prince and Hongqing really don't have any friendship at all, but they have met a few times, but the prince at this time is an elder's demeanor, and he teaches endlessly, but what he can say is all nonsense, and he really doesn't know what to say.

"Yes, the ministers and nephews have all remembered."

Hongqing was worried at this time, and how could he have the heart to listen to the prince's nonsense, but it was okay to slander in his stomach, but he could never bring it to his face, so he just responded respectfully, and there were no words on it.

"Well, that's fine, Hongu ......"

The prince's interest was obviously very high, no matter what Hongqing felt in his heart, he was about to talk about it again with a smile, but before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Wuyong leading the two little eunuchs to come in a hurry, so he had to stop talking, and his brows furrowed slightly.
