"Zhenwu Hou is fishing on Slender West Lake?" The news of Li Yuntian's fishing soon reached Chen Wenren's ears, and Chen Wenren's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so idle at such a time of crisis.

But the next moment, Chen Wenren was relieved, the so-called crisis refers to the Lianghuai Yandao Yamen and the Nanjing Household Department, which has nothing to do with Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian naturally wants to be at ease, does he let him track down the person who walks the flyer?

"My lord, all the people above the deacon of the Salt Merchants Association are already in the guild hall, what do you think should be done?" Yang Muen, who was standing on the side, heard the words and bowed down and asked.

Chen Wenren not only asked the soldiers of the Lianghuai Salt Road Yamen and the Salt Merchants' Association to search the city for those who distributed leaflets, but also planned to start from within the Salt Merchants' Association and investigate those who had access to the secrets of the smuggling of salt traffickers one by one, hoping to find some useful clues from them.

The deacons of the Salt Merchants Association originally went to the destination of the illicit salt with the fleet transporting the smuggled salt, but after the cargo ship was seized by the people of the Yamen, the governor of Caoyun, these deacons rushed back to Yangzhou in panic to inquire about the news.

"Whoever it is, check it to see if they leak this confidential information!" Chen Wenren pondered for a moment, and instructed expressionlessly, "Sue them, now that it has reached a life-and-death juncture, whoever hides it again will kill himself, and everyone will be unlucky at that time!" ”

"I'll do it." Yang Muen knew the situation and hurriedly left.

After Yang Muen clarified the stakes, those salt merchants above the deacon level of the Salt Merchants Association did not dare to hide anything, and told what they knew.

To Yang Muen's surprise, those salt merchants had more or less leaked the matter of private salt, and most of the targets were red-card girls in the Qinglou, or some old friends for many years, which made the situation suddenly complicated, and hurriedly reported to Chen Wenren.

Chen Wenren didn't expect things to develop to this point, he knew very well that those salt merchants were arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but he didn't expect that there was no one to talk about, and he said all the things that shouldn't be said, so the shape in front of him became extremely bad, and he couldn't judge the identity of the person who wrote the leaflet.

However, at this point, Chen Wenren had no way out, and ordered Zhang Sheng to arrest all the people related to this matter and bring them to the two Huaiyan Road Yamen for torture, trying to find clues from them, which made Yangzhou City rumor for a while, and people were panicked.

Li Yuntian, who was leisurely fishing on the Slender West Lake, learned about this and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he liked to see the muddy water in front of him being stirred up more and more, so that he could fish in troubled waters.

On the second day of Li Yuntian's fishing on the Slender West Lake, a poem he "wrote" went from the Slender West Lake, which was very sought after by the literati and writers of Yangzhou.

The weeping willows continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose tooth red bridge is drawn; It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake.

This poem was originally a poem written by Wang Xin, a poet who lived in Yangzhou during the Qianlong period, and lamented the rich businessmen in Yangzhou who spent so much money, which was stolen by Li Yuntian.

The characteristics of Slender West Lake are that the lake surface is slender and long, meandering, its garden has both natural scenery, and rich history and culture, four or eight festivals, the wind and the moon and the evening, make the Slender West Lake illusion of infinite wonder, its scenery is charming and colorful.

Especially when the spring color of the south of the Yangtze River comes, the fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, strolling on the bank of the Slender West Lake, but seeing a few steps and a willow, like the soft and moving green mist, coupled with the charming flowers and trees such as camellia, pomegranate, rhododendron, peach, etc., it is more comfortable and elegant, slender and colorful, and all kinds of poetry and painting are fully present in it.

The West Lake in the world, there are six out of thirty, which shows the number of West Lakes in various places, but the West Lake of Yangzhou, with its delicate and graceful demeanor, is unique from the lakes, and occupies a proper "thin" word, which can be described as "more than ten garden pavilions are combined into one, contact to the mountain, and the momentum is through." ”

Chen Wenren couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly after learning about this, it seems that only Li Yuntian in Yangzhou City has such leisure and elegance, and he actually makes a lot of poetry on the Slender West Lake, but this is good, and it also saves Li Yuntian from getting in the way in Yangzhou City.

On the afternoon of the third day, the deadline given by Li Yuntian, while Chen Wenren was anxiously waiting for the results of the interrogation of those arrested at the Yamen of Lianghuai Yandao, Chen Guangzong led a man to hurry to meet him.

"Father, the boy has found the person who wrote this leaflet." After entering the door, Chen Guangzong said to Chen Wenren urgently.

"Who wrote it?" Chen Wenren was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of joy suddenly flashed, and he asked in a deep voice quietly.

"Zhao Dengyu, the second son of Zhao Wenju, the deacon of the Salt Merchants Association!" Chen Guangzong replied word by word.

"Zhao Dengyu?" Chen Wenren's brows suddenly furrowed, which could explain why the other party knew so much about the transportation and trafficking of illicit salt, and then his face sank, "Can you be sure it's him?" ”

"My lord, the villain and Zhao Dengyu are classmates, and his characters can be recognized at a glance, and the leaflet is indeed his font." At this time, the richly dressed boy standing behind Chen Guangzong bowed his hand to Chen Wenren and said in a loud voice, he, like Zhao Dengyu, was also the son of a deacon of the Salt Merchants Association, and he usually had a close relationship with Zhao Dengyu, so he could recognize Zhao Dengyu's words.

"Are you sure?" Chen Wenren waited for the boy with a blank face, once the identity of the person who wrote the leaflet could be ascertained, then things would be much simpler, and he would no longer have a clue.

"Adult, villain can be sure that this word is written by Zhao Dengyu." The boy nodded again and again, and said with an oath.

"Zhenwu Hou!" After getting the affirmative reply from the son-in-law, Chen Wenren suddenly slammed his fist on the table, his face was gloomy, and a cold sentence popped out of his mouth.

Although he didn't know Zhao Dengyu, he knew Zhao Wenju, and knew that Zhao Wenju was the scapegoat pushed out by the Salt Merchants Association, which meant that the Zhao family was now imprisoned in Yangzhou Wei's prison, how could Zhao Dengyu write those leaflets without Li Yuntian's approval?

In Chen Wenren's opinion, everything was planned by Li Yuntian, no wonder Li Yuntian looked relaxed and leisurely, it turned out that he had already arranged the rest of the matter, just waiting for him to jump inside.

"Father, you are wrong to blame Zhenwuhou, this Zhao Dengyu has disappeared after Zhang Gui's accident, no one knows where he went, and he was not in the Zhao family when he was arrested." As a confidant father, Chen Guangzong knew from Chen Wenren's somewhat hideous face that he had misunderstood Li Yuntian, and hurriedly explained.

"What?" Chen Wenren was stunned for a moment, his expression was full of surprise, he looked at Chen Guangzong and asked, "He ran away?" Where did it go? ”

"I don't know, Zhao Wenju said that he went to Huguang's father-in-law's house, and the child once sent someone to investigate, but Zhao Dengyu didn't go to Huguang at all." Chen Guangzong shook his head and said with a solemn expression, Zhao Dengyu's mysterious disappearance had always made him feel uneasy, and now this uneasiness has finally become a reality.

"This bastard, he wants to kill everyone!" The sudden scene made Chen Wenren's face change suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, he never expected that the gap in the salt affairs of the two Huai Salt Roads, which was originally impregnable, would be poked out of the inside.

If this hole cannot be repaired in time, then those dirty things on the Lianghuai Salt Road will be exposed by Zhao Dengyu one by one, and even if Li Yuntian has no intention of the affairs of the Lianghuai Salt Road, he will have to be cautious, and it is obvious that Li Yuntian has no obligation to cover the Lianghuai Salt Road.

As for why Zhao Dengyu did this, Chen Wenren also guessed in his heart, this kid seems to want to take advantage of the seizure of illegal salt to save Zhao Wenju and the Zhao family, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhao Dengyu reports such a big case, the emperor will definitely exempt Zhao Wenju from criminal responsibility.

Anyway, the Zhao family has nothing after this incident, and if it is not good, it will be all over the house, so Zhao Dengyu might as well fight, maybe he can save the lives of Zhao Wenju and the Zhao family.

"Father, it was the child's negligence, after Zhang Gui's accident, the child should have thought that Zhao Wenju would not sit still, so he ran away with Zhao Dengyu."

Chen Guangzong knew the situation strictly, and said to Chen Wenren, Zhao Dengyu is obviously clear about the matter of illegal salt, once he stabs the matter to Li Yuntian, the consequences are unimaginable, when there is no accident, Li Yuntian can still turn a blind eye to the matter of the two Huai Salt Roads, but if Zhao Dengyu finds out all the evidence of the crime of trafficking in illegal salt in the two Huai Salt Roads, Li Yuntian will only have one cha Le.

Moreover, even if Li Yuntian does not want to get involved in this case, the cabinet behind him will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to crack down on the forces of the six ministries of the DPRK and China.

"I don't blame you for this, the ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention a businessman like Zhao Wenju, who is so entangled that he is naturally reluctant to leave a way back for himself!"

Chen Wenren waved his hand to Chen Guangzong when he heard this, his state of mind at this time had calmed down a lot, after all, it was useless to be annoyed after the matter had happened, so he groaned for a while, and ordered Chen Guangzong with a cold expression, "You instruct to go down, let the people who know Zhao Dengyu of the Salt Merchants Association assist the Lianghuai Salt Road Yamen to search for the fugitive Zhao Dengyu with all their might, and be sure to find him!" ”

"Father, I'm afraid that with the troops of the two Huai Salt Road, I can't conduct a thorough investigation of Yangzhou City, and I need the assistance of Yangzhou Government." Chen Guangzong groaned for a moment when he heard this, and spoke.

"Okay, I'll ask Lord Zhang to send an official letter to Lord Lu and ask him to send troops to assist." Chen Wenren nodded, walked out of the room, and went to find Zhang Sheng, the transfer envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and asked him to send the Yangzhou prefect Lu Xingfa to check Zhao Dengyu's official documents.

"By the way, tomorrow you will send additional men to ambush around the yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and as long as Zhao Dengyu shows his head, he will be taken away immediately." Walking to the door, Chen Wenren stopped, turned his head gloomily and instructed Chen Guangzong, "If he is not honest, kill him, so as not to become a scourge when the time comes." ”

According to Li Yuntian's previous decision, if the person who distributed the leaflets did not show up within three days, he would declare him wanted as a rumor-mongering thug, and most importantly, he would issue an official letter to the Caoyun Governor Yamen at that time, asking the Caoyun Governor Yamen to release him on the grounds that the private salt was the accumulated salt handled by the Nanjing Household Department.

As long as Li Yuntian opens that official document, Chen Wenren will not be afraid of anything, which means that Li Yuntian has already determined that those private salts are accumulated salt, and naturally he will no longer pay attention to Zhao Dengyu's affairs.

"The child understands that Zhao Dengyu will never be allowed to see Master Hou!" Chen Guangzong naturally knew the severity of the situation, and solemnly bowed to Chen Wenren and replied.
