Tang Yi watched Zhao Zhenji change his face and change color, more comfortable than eating ice cubes on dog days, isn't your old gentleman righteous and strict, don't you want to set an example for me, what is the room of Zhilan? The case involves your teacher, see what you do! Tang Yi was so happy that he almost laughed.

Zhao Zhenji's face was feverish, he suddenly slapped the table, and reprimanded: "Li Dongsheng, you are still a political envoy, you dare to speak so shamelessly, let me ask you, you said that Xu Ge Lao participated in smuggling, is there any evidence?" ”

"Absolutely!" Li Dongsheng suddenly raised his head and smiled.

"Lord Zhao, you have been in the officialdom for a long time, and you know no less than the old man, and the Ming Dynasty's income is low, even if you become a university scholar, it will not be less than two hundred taels of silver all year round, not to mention raising an official, even if you raise an eagle or a tiger, it is not enough. Ten years of hard study, a long road to the imperial examination, how many years will it take from the children's examination? Li Dongsheng looked at Tang Yi as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Of course, Tang Liuyuan passed the test, and he looked down on him all the way, and the young man was ambitious, which is admirable, but just like Lord Tang, there can be a few!" ”

"Don't ramble!" Zhao Zhenji roared.

Li Dongsheng sighed, "Lord Zhao, most of the Jinshi have a beard, and they have become the county commander of Qipin, both old and young, and they may have been saddled with debts." You look down at the complement on your chest, the civil official embroiders a bird, the military general embroiders a beast, and wears an official robe, which one is not a well-dressed beast! ”

"You're out of soul!"

Zhao Zhenji was so angry that he threw the water glass, which happened to hit Li Dongsheng's forehead, and immediately blood flowed down, the old man was unconscious, and sneered: "It's useless to kill the old man, just ask which official in the world is not greedy?" ”

"This official is not greedy!"

Hai Rui suddenly stood up from his seat, and everyone said that if there is no desire, he is rigid, and Hai Rui is calm. sneered: "The official's surname is Rui Zi Ruxian, his name is Gangfeng, he grew up in the land of barbarians on the island, Jiajing served as the Sect of Nanping in Fujian for thirty-three years, and Jiajing took over Jinjiang County for thirty-five years. Later, he was promoted as the deputy director of the city department, and the official did not take a penny during his tenure, and he was not greedy! Hai Rui shouted, "Greed is born in the heart, and with greed, even if you are rich in gold and silver, you must be greedy!" Don't think that everyone in the world is as shameless as you! ”

Li Dongsheng was speechless for a while, and suddenly sighed, "It turned out to be the famous sea pen holder." There are still people like you in the world...... The old man said the wrong thing. Suddenly, Li Dongsheng straightened his chest and said sharply: "Old man, I hope that Lord Hai can be consistent for the rest of his life, but Xu Jie is not a good person." Before he became an official, his family only had 100 acres of land, but since he became an official, there are more and more fields in his family, and now the whole Huating and even Suzhou. It is all their Xu family's field, four or five hundred thousand acres of farmland. Fifty or sixty thousand acres of mulberry fields, how much silk should be produced every year? Where did all this silk go? Aren't they all sold overseas? Lord Zhao, you should really ask your master how many goods were smuggled from Yuegang. ”

Zhao Zhenji is experienced in the end, and he came out of anger with a faint smile on his face.

"Li Dongsheng. Do you know what you're talking about? Without the slightest evidence, relying on false words, he dared to falsely accuse the cabinet scholars, which should be beaten! ”

Zhao Zhenji looked at both sides, "Execution!" ”

Order. rushed up left and right, carrying a whip stained with salt water, and pulled it down according to Li Dongsheng. Tang Yi also used this thing, so he gave Hu Gongzi a good beating. Hu Zongxian was generous, not only did he not ask for trouble, but he also thanked Tang Yi.

It's just that Tang Yi didn't know that the whip used to whip Li Dongsheng was much more powerful than the one he used, in addition to the raw cowhide, it was also wrapped with iron wire, and in two strokes, Li Dongsheng's skin was open and blood flowed. Poisoning and torturing an old man, even if he was heinous, Tang Yi felt that it was a bit excessive, but he knew that his words had no weight in Zhao Zhenji's eyes, so he simply turned his head and didn't see it.

Li Dongsheng was also hard-hearted, and he was whipped more than a dozen times, but he was stunned and didn't say a word, and finally fell to the ground softly. Zhao Zhenji hurriedly walked over, probed with his hand, and took a breath.

"Woke him up!"

Someone took a mouthful of water and sprayed it on Li Dongsheng's face, and the old man woke up slowly. Turning his head with difficulty, he glanced at Zhao Zhenji, and suddenly sneered: "The old man still thinks he is dead, your whip can't be successful!" ”

"Hmph, it's cheap to let you die!" Zhao Zhenji smiled contemptuously, "Li Dongsheng, if you confess honestly, you can also avoid the pain of flesh and skin, if you are disobedient, this official will not be polite!" ”

Li Dongsheng didn't care, "People who are about to die, what else do you have to be polite, adults just have to come, you ask the old man who else there are, the old man can tell you, the Shen family in Shaoxing, the Feng family in Huguang, the Wang family in Taizhou, the Qian family in Yuyao, ......"

Every time he read one, the flesh on Zhao Zhenji's face trembled, and the few families that Li Dongsheng said were all Xinxue figures, either calling for wind and rain in the political arena, or they were respected in academic status, if they were really found on their heads, Xinxue was afraid that it would be over.

Zhao Zhenji gritted his teeth, "Li Dongsheng, don't think that you can survive by climbing others, just what your Li family has done is enough for you to die 10,000 times!" ”

Li Dongsheng had blood at the corner of his mouth, his silver-white hair was scattered, he coughed twice, and sighed: "What is there to be afraid of death, anyway, the Li family is over, there is no difference between dying once and ten thousand times, if Lord Zhao is willing, this old life will be given to you at any time!" ”

"You!"

Zhao Zhenji really wanted to kill the old thing, but before the case was good, he killed a key criminal, how could he explain? The old master suppressed his anger and said to the people around him, "Take him down and find a doctor to take a good look at the injury." ”

"Yes!"

Someone carried Li Dongsheng down, Zhao Zhenji glanced at Hai Rui, and suddenly smiled: "What you just said is very good, Gongshengming, Lian Shengwei, not greedy or possessive, in the face of corrupt and perverted people, only then can you be righteous and strict." ”

I don't know what's going on, Tang Yi always feels that Old Master Zhao is sarcastic about him in every word, Hai Rui is honest, then I will be corrupt? Fortunately, Tang Yi simply didn't say a word.

Hai Rui looked calm, "The boss is overrated." ”

"Well, tell me, what should I do with the case at hand?"

Hai Rui pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Qiyu, what Li Dongsheng said is just his own speculation, maybe there is, maybe not, the current account books and letters are as vast as a sea of smoke, we must sort them out well, find real evidence, and then it is best to bring up the people of the Cai family and torture them carefully." ”

Zhao Zhenji took Tang Yi's suggestion and called Cai Tonggui up again.

The Cai family is a little different from the other six surnames, the Cai family does not have high-ranking officials in the court, and the reason why they can be among them is because they have been business immigrants for many years, and there are many children surnamed Cai overseas, and if they want to smuggle goods out, they can't do without their family.

Cai Tonggui knew a lot more than Li Dongsheng, he didn't go to the heart, but gave Zhao Zhenji a very useful clue.

According to Cai Tonggui, there is a thousand households named Han Dongfeng, who once carried 50,000 stone silk three times and smuggled it out from Yuegang, and Han Dongfeng was born in Hu Zongxian's family.

Hearing the news, Zhao Zhenji was overjoyed.

Although Zhao Wenhua fell, but Hu Zongxian is still there, he was naturally turned into a strict party, if Hu Zongxian can be cautious, Zhao Zhenji will not embarrass him, but he dares to violate the royal law, then don't blame me Zhao Zhenji is welcome!

The old man hurriedly ordered, not to mention, and sure enough, he found an account book, which clearly recorded that Han Dongfeng smuggled 50,000 pieces of silk in batches.

According to the calculation of fifteen taels of silk, it is 750,000 taels!

Sixty taels is enough to peel the skin, seven hundred and fifty thousand taels, even if Hu Zongxian has the ability to be a monkey, it is not enough.

Zhao Zhenji narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang Yi, and said coldly: "The old man heard that you and Hu Zongxian have a very close relationship, and the opening of the City Shipping Division, he came to congratulate, can there be such a thing?" ”

Tang Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said lightly: "There is indeed such a thing, if the adults are not at ease with the lower officials, whether they are evasive or investigated and dealt with in one piece, the lower officials will have no complaints." ”

"Hmph, is the old man a fool? I will arrest people if I have a very secret secret, but I am afraid that there are not a few left in the southeast, the old man wants to remind you, don't leak the news, if Hu Zongxian hears the news in advance, the old man will not let you go! ”

As soon as Old Master Zhao turned around, he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the smuggling case. Hai Rui walked up to Tang Yi with a slight apology on his face.

"My lord, have you caused trouble to your lordship?"

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Gangfeng, if you don't do your business, you can investigate how you want, listen to Lord Zhao, listen to your own conscience, I believe that Hu Zongxian is a good official." ”

Good officials and clean officials, the difference between one word is a thousand miles.

Hai Rui pondered, nodded and said, "The lower officials will not act rashly." ”

It's already remarkable that a bull can say this.

Tang Yi came down from the second hall, lowered his head, his mind was not belonging, and no one paid attention to the person who came to him, and he happened to collide with each other.

"It's you!"

The two looked at each other's expressions, and suddenly had a feeling of sympathy. The person who came was Tan Lun.

"Let's go, come to me for a drink." Tan Lun rarely took the initiative to invite.

Tang Yi smiled: "Let's go to my place, the wine is good!" ”

"Forget it!" Tan Lun hurriedly waved his hand, "Your food is too bad!" ”

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "You are a cook when you are a princess, and you can't eat it if you want to eat it in the future." ”

The two of them hooked their shoulders and came to Tan Lun's residence, Tan Lun has the style of a Confucian general, the house is tasteful, stylish, clean, spotless, and comfortable to look at.

Tan Lun moved over a table with Huang Huali, and put the fine wine that came from Tang Yi's house a few days ago.

"Don't be surprised to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"It's been a long time coming!" Tang Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Tan Lun raised the wine glass and accompanied him with a glass, and the two of them drank three glasses in a row, Tan Lun's face turned red.

"Okay, Yan Maoqing on my side interrogated Ruan Que, saying that he colluded with the Japanese and made a fuss about his psychic identity, it seems that he wants to burn the fire to Xu Ge Lao, what about you?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "It's all about the same, Zhao Dazhou has found evidence of Hu Zongxian's smuggling of goods, and is about to attack Hu Zongxian!" ”

Tan Lun's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in horror: "This case can't be investigated anymore, otherwise the southeast will be over!" (To be continued.) )
