"Three adults, it's not early, why don't we have lunch first, and then continue the trial in the afternoon."

Li Yuntian glanced at Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao and Qin Ke from the corner of his eye, and saw that there was a faint look of excitement on the faces of the three of them, knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, so he pretended to ponder for a while, and said to the three of them quietly.

"What Master Hou said is very true, and the official is also a little hungry." Pan Xingmin was slightly stunned, now there is still more than half an hour before lunch time, and he can judge Zhao Wenju first, and then he understands that Li Yuntian doesn't seem to want to touch the matter of the Lianghuai Salt Road, so he replied with a smile.

Obviously, the evidence provided by Zhao Wenju involves the unsightly secrets of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and once he speaks, this matter will be a big trouble.

Li Yuntian then got up, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Pan Xingmin and the others, and led everyone out of the back hall, and Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu were then taken down by Jinyiwei.

This is Li Yuntian's cleverness, although he wants to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of Lianghuai Yandao, he will definitely not be so anxious to uncover this mystery, and he wants to capture Chen Wenren and others, and at the same time, he is also deliberately hanging the appetite of Pan Xingmin and the others.

Li Yuntian can be sure that what happened in the back hall must have reached Chen Wenren's ears a long time ago, and for the sake of the aftermath, he wants to convey a goodwill signal to Chen Wenren, so that Chen Wenren can hurry up and wipe his ass clean after the aftermath.

Anyway, Li Yuntian has already given the opportunity to Chen Wenren, if Chen Wenren can't catch it, then don't blame him.

Since Chen Wenren was the left waiter of Nanjing's household department, and Zhang Sheng was the transfer envoy of the two Huai Salt Roads, the two of them naturally had to attend the lunch party before the case of illegal salt was discovered.

When Li Yuntian and Chen Wenren came to the front yard of the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road with a smile and laughter, Li Manshan happened to bring Yang Muen and Wei Deguang and his party in, and bowed down when they saw him.

"Li Qianhu, let them go back first and come here in the afternoon." Li Yuntian and Li Manshan and the others staggered by, and after walking a few steps, they thought of behind him, turned around and quietly instructed Li Manshan to say.

"Yes." When Li Manshan heard this, he immediately bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and replied in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian's move not only surprised Pan Xingmin and others, but also surprised Chen Wenren, at this moment, Li Yuntian let Yang Muen and other salt merchants make it clear that he was giving those salt merchants a chance to deal with the interrogation in the afternoon.

Yang Muen, Wei Deguang and the others looked at each other, looking at Li Yuntian and the others who were leaving with stunned expressions, not knowing why Li Yuntian suddenly wanted to let them go, as if he had suspended the interrogation.

Just when Yang Muen and Wei Deguang and their party were puzzled, Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu were carried out by Jinyiwei lying on the wooden board, ready to send them to the hospital to treat their buttocks injuries.

"Brother Zhao, how did you do this?" Seeing this, Yang Muen couldn't help but greet him, but he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by the Jinyi guard and forbade him to approach, so he asked with some surprise, in his impression, Li Yuntian was not a person who liked to use punishment.

"Brother Yang, the younger brother can't help it, he is already preparing to confess the private salt to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye promised that the younger brother can atone for his crimes." Zhao Wenju smiled bitterly, and said to Yang Muen with a look of shame, "Brother Yang, you can do it yourself, Zhenwu Hou Wenwu is both civil and military, and the matter of private salt can't be hidden from him at all." ”

Yang Muen was stunned when he heard this, looking at Zhao Wenju who was carried away with a stunned expression, never imagined that Zhao Wenju would confess to Li Yuntian.

Wei Deguang and the others, who were standing behind Yang Muen, also heard Zhao Wenju's words, and their faces became bloodless in an instant, Zhao Wenju was a person who knew all the secrets of the Salt Merchants Association, once he confessed, the illegal salt trade in the two Huai Salt Roads would be completely exposed.

"President Yang, please!" At this time, Li Manshan, who was standing on the side, made a gesture of invitation to Yang Muen, who was stunned, in the direction of the gate, and said in a deep voice, "Please come to the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road before Shen Shi." ”

"There are thousands of households." Yang Muen came back to his senses, hurriedly arched his hand to Li Manshan, forced a smile on his own, and then hurriedly led Wei Deguang and the others away.

Looking at the backs of Yang Muen and the others, a sneer flashed at the corner of Li Manshan's mouth, the reason why Yang Muen and the others were able to meet Zhao Wenju was naturally arranged by Li Yuntian in advance.

Li Yuntian led Chen Wenren and others to a famous restaurant in Yangzhou, and the restaurant hurriedly vacated a small courtyard with an elegant environment in the backyard.

The atmosphere in the private room of the small courtyard was very relaxed, Li Yuntian talked and laughed with everyone, and never mentioned today's case, so as not to sweep everyone's Yaxing, and he has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and he will never talk about business in his private time.

Chen Wenren, Pan Xingmin and others have different thoughts, and they are there with Li Yuntian, since Li Yuntian does not propose a son, they naturally will not talk about this matter in a boring way.

Because Li Yuntian unexpectedly let go of Yang Muen, Wei Deguang and others, Chen Wenren's heart was much more stable, and he naturally knew that Li Yuntian was doing it deliberately, and the rest of the matter depended on how Chen Guangzong and them dealt with the aftermath.

Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao, and Qin Ke secretly circled the afternoon's affairs, although Li Yuntian wanted to let go of the two Huaiyan Dao, but if Zhao Wenju's evidence was weighty enough, then they could still get a rich reward from Chen Wenju.

At the same time, in the reception hall of the Salt Merchants Association, Yang Muen, Wei Deguang and others were anxiously waiting for the arrival of Guangzong, wanting to know what happened in the morning of the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road, wanting to know why Zhao Wenju, who had been carrying the guilt, suddenly repented, and even more wanted to understand why Li Yuntian suddenly let them go again.

"The eldest prince is here." I don't know who shouted, the people in the room suddenly rushed to the door, and Chen Guangzong walked in from the brisk walk with a gloomy face.

"Eldest Prince, what the hell is going on?" Yang Muen came to Chen Guangzong and asked with a worried expression, now everyone is panicked and very frightened.

"The three old things of the Nanjing Three Law Divisions were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and deliberately fanned the flames to secretly stumble on us, so that Zhao Wenju could not bear it, and was ready to tell the matter of private salt!"

Chen Guangzong couldn't help but grit his teeth and said when he heard this, his eyes were extremely cold, and he couldn't wait to cut Pan Xingmin, Zhang Tao, and Qin Ke with a knife, he already knew what happened in the morning, if it weren't for Pan Xingmin and the three of them to get in the way, Li Yuntian would have let Zhao Dengyu and Zhao Wenju be imprisoned.

Hearing this, there was a commotion at the scene, and everyone talked about this matter with a frightened expression, since the people of the Nanjing Three Law Division were involved in this matter, then they were not in a catastrophe this time.

"Don't panic, those three old things just want some good, just give them a few bones and they'll honestly wag their tails there."

Seeing this, Chen Guangzong stretched out his hands and pressed them down, and said loudly, "The key to this matter is the Zhenwu Hou, and the Zhenwu Hou didn't want something to happen to the two Huaiyan Dao, so he didn't continue the trial in the morning, so that my son can meet you here!" ”

The panicked salt merchants suddenly quieted down when they heard this, and looked at Chen Guangzong in panic, Chen Guangzong was right, as long as Li Yuntian didn't want to check the Lianghuai Salt Road, then they would be safe and sound, because they all wanted to know what to do next.

"Listen, Zhenwu Hou has given us a chance to deal with the aftermath, if anyone can't grasp it, he will kill himself!"

After glancing around at the people around, Chen Guangyu instructed with a stern expression, "Wait for you to go home and burn all the account books related to private salt over the years, that thing is now a life talisman If anyone keeps it is looking for death, as long as there is no evidence, then no one can help us!" ”

"Don't worry, eldest prince, I'll go back and destroy those account books." Yang Muen didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Chen Guangzong and said.

"Ben Gongzi reminds you, now it is a matter of life and death, if you don't do what Ben Gongzi said, no one will be able to save you at that time!"

Chen Guangzong knew that many of the salt merchants present had a hand in their hands, and kept the account books in private like Chen Wenju, so he coldly warned that once those account books were found out, even if Li Yuntian wanted to let them live, it would be impossible.

Everyone knew the severity of the situation, so they left in a hurry after bowing to Chen Guangzong, and rushed home to deal with those account books, as for next year's reconciliation and write-off, it is naturally yellow, who still has the heart to pay attention to this matter at this time.

"I hope they'll all listen." Looking at the backs of Yang Muen, Wei Deguang and the others leaving, Chen Guangzong frowned and muttered, now the situation is complicated, God knows what kind of calculations those salt merchants are making.

After treating their buttock injuries in a medical center, Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu were carried back to the Yamen of Lianghuai Yandao by Jinyiwei on a wooden board.

The flying fish suit and Xiuchun knife on Jinyiwei quickly attracted the attention of the people along the way, after all, Jinyiwei is not as flying as in later generations, so there are few opportunities to leave Beijing, even Yangzhou rarely sees Jinyiwei's people, not to mention that so many Jinyiwei appear together.

Sou!

Suddenly, a black shadow flew quickly from the upstairs on the side, facing Zhao Wenju who was lying on the wooden board.

Before the Jinyi guard who was following him could react, the black shadow had already shot at the back of Zhao Wenju's heart, Zhao Wenju's body trembled, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"There are assassins!" The surrounding Jinyi guards immediately reacted, and they all drew their Xiuchun knives to surround Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu in the middle, looking vigilantly at the upstairs on both sides of the road.

"There it is!" Immediately, a brocade guard pointed a knife at the small building in the attic on the side of the street, and shouted, only to see an archer appear at the window of the small building.

Seeing that the brocade guard had spotted him, the archer immediately threw down the bow in his hand and ran away.

"Catch him!" This time, it was a hundred households of Jinyiwei who took Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu with his hand, and he pointed to the small building with his hand and gave an order loudly.

Hula, more than a dozen brocade guards chased after him quickly with knives, causing the people at the scene to panic, wolves rushed and screamed.

"Damn it!" The Baihu stretched out his hand and probed in front of Zhao Wen's nose, who was lying weakly on the wooden board, and then his face changed, and he couldn't help but curse, and hurriedly beckoned the other people to hurriedly escort Zhao Wenju and Zhao Dengyu to the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road.
