The flying horse galloped, the war horse stepped on the yellow earth, from far to near, and saw the front of the army, the knight's body on it swayed, the war horse suddenly pounced on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the knight also fell to the ground.

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly waved his hand: "Quick, save people!" ”

The soldiers lifted the man up, pinched him, poured cold water on him, and it took him a long time to wake up.

"Jing, something big has happened in the capital!"

"Huh?"

Yuan Zongdi was startled, hurriedly leaned over, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The knight trembled and took out a secret letter from his bosom, and said breathlessly: "Yes, it is the factory bus agent." ”

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly took it, unfolded it and took a look, and immediately his brows were twisted into pimples, and when he saw the end, his teeth were gritted and he couldn't help but scold: "What a big gut, hurry up and get on the horse, everyone follow me to Nanjing!" ”

It's no wonder that Yuan Zongdi is so angry, this secret letter was sent by Dai Ying, which can make the dignified factory and the big file of the inner court feel dangerous, and the severity of the shape can be imagined.

It turned out that in the past few days, Zhang Jinyan first arrested grain merchants Gan Peiyu and Wang Chunhe and others, and then continued to make persistent efforts to arrest a total of more than 20 grain merchants.

These people are all figures with heads and faces, and from the first moment of arrest, the whole of Nanjing was boiling, and officials from all walks of life went out one after another, interceding, exerting pressure, and in short, it became a mess.

However, Zhang Jinyan and Dai Ying relied on Gu Zhenhua and An ** to support, they were fearless, and began to carefully interrogate these people and confiscate their property.

I don't know if I don't check the results, and I'm shocked when I check it. These grain merchants operated the transportation and also provided food and wages to the border army. It has a close relationship with Jin merchants. As soon as he saw that he was involved with Jin Shang, Zhang Jinyan knew that the matter was probably going to make a big fuss, and as soon as he investigated, it turned out to be the case.

They found out the accounts, and in the year of the apocalypse, they shipped the grain to the north. Then it was transported by Jin merchants to Guanwai, forming a criminal deed.

Later, they were even more unscrupulous, not only taking 6 routes, but also sea routes, and these people tried their best. Sent all kinds of supplies to the Tartars in exchange for huge profits.

Just seeing this, Zhang Jinyan was furious, and Wu Kaijie gritted his teeth.

"Bastard, Grandpa Guo tried his best to destroy all the grain in Beijing and Tianjin. As a result, the Tartars can still be maintained, and it is all thanks to the help of these merchants, who are simply the sinners of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Dai Ying also said: "It's really shocking, these guys don't care about anything for money, the Donglin Party is not far away, but these people go further." Don't they know that if they continue to do this, they will die sooner or later! ”

Zhang Jinyan's face sank, and he continued to look at the things that had been sorted out, and suddenly a list completely attracted his attention, took it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and sat on the Taishi chair.

"Master Zhang, don't scare me, what's going on?"

Wu Kaijie said. I hurriedly took the list, and only then did I look at it twice, and my eyes were as wide as bells, and my whole body trembled.

"Big joke, big joke!"

Dai Ying also hurriedly came over. After reading it, he was also stunned and couldn't say a word.

To surprise these three so much is certainly not a small thing. It turned out that this list was a bill for Gan Peiyu's tribute to several vassal kings.

Many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty fled to Jiangnan, and their property was lost, and they were depressed one by one. At this time, many businessmen took action, helping to find mansions, sending slaves to the house, sending gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, and even firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Let these vassal kings feel the warmth of Jiangnan, and among the princes who accepted the gifts, there were King Lu, King Lu, King Zhou, King Tang, etc., and the most important thing was King Fu!

Seeing this, all three people present felt a little blind. They thought that there might be any forces behind these grain merchants, but they never thought that they could actually involve the vassal king, or even the king of the prison country!

"This, this, what's this?" Zhang Jinyan flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Let's work hard for the Daming country, but the people of their old Zhu family don't care about the Daming country, they don't know, these people are ruining the Daming country, the ancestral foundation?" ”

Wu Kaijie also shook his head with a wry smile: "Lord Zhang, maybe these vassal kings have just been deceived. ”

"What if it's not?"

"Whether it's or not, we just need to complete the mission assigned by Grandpa Guo!"

Zhang Jinyan thought for a long time and nodded: "This can only be the case, but in order to prevent their counterattack, I still hurry up to inform Shen Tingyang, let the sailor prepare, and send someone to Xuzhou to tell General Xue that he is ready to transfer troops to the south at any time." Without the support of the army, I'm afraid we won't be able to play. ”

Dai Ying also knew that the matter was strict, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's send someone now." ”

Before they could make a move, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and someone ran in with a change of face.

"Ancestor, something is wrong."

"What's the matter?"

"Enlighten the ancestors, the people of the Imperial Horse Prison have surrounded the Dongchang Prison, and let us release all the grain merchants locked inside."

Dai Ying suddenly raised her eyebrows, and laughed sharply: "It's really bold, do you think our family is dough." Let's go, let's go and see it now, and dare to turn the sky upside down. ”

Dai Ying was about to leave, when someone suddenly ran in, rushed to Zhang Jinyan in a panic, and bowed down.

"My lord, some officers and soldiers rushed into the homes of several grain merchants, tore up the seals, and transported away all the property we found and all the grain we seized!"

"How can it be!"

Zhang Jinyan slapped the table fiercely, shaking the teapot and bowl.

"Let's go, follow the official to see if there is a king law in this Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as they walked out, suddenly someone outside shouted and neighed, and a large group of people came, for Ruan Dacheng, followed by two generals, all of them in armor and armor, with swords, and their faces were as cold as ice.

Seeing these two people, Dai Ying's brows furrowed, and he whispered, "Lord Zhang." These two guys are Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing. ”

When Zhang Jinyan heard that he was from the four towns of Jiangbei, he only nodded slightly.

"Lord Ruan, what is the matter with you coming to find this official so much?"

Ruan Dacheng smiled coldly: "Lord Zhang." You know best what it is, some people do not hesitate to disturb the order of the court for their own selfishness, stir up unjust prisons, and arrest officials and businessmen. It made the capital noisy. People are panicking, and they don't know who you are giving you an official to? ”

While Ruan Dacheng was speaking, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie both pressed their swords and glared angrily.

Zhang Jinyan also knew that he couldn't back down at this time, so he sneered: "Lord Ruan, this official is investigating the big case of corruption and ink. There are rats from all over the court. Stealing grain from Taicang and withholding military rations. Hoarding Juqi, and even reselling to the Tartars, you are betraying the country, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these rats, shouldn't this official investigate? ”

Ruan Dacheng sneered slightly: "Lord Zhang, don't rely on the support of You'an**." Just do what you want, and blame others casually. It's not that Ann ** won the battle, and everyone else is a traitor. This official advises you to rein in the precipice as soon as possible, don't make mistakes again and again, arouse public indignation, and it will not end well at that time! ”

"The end? Joke! Lord Ruan, your name is on the list of those bribes! ”

Ruan Dacheng sneered, walked in front of Zhang Jinyan, and sneered: "Lord Zhang." You are not entering the officialdom for a day or two, as the saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish. You won't be ignorant of this. Some profiteers can be dealt with, and some officials should also be investigated, but there must be a limit, and no one can be involved. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will really be over, do you understand? ”

At this time, Wu Kaijie on the side smiled and said: "Lord Ruan, Ming people don't say secret words, if you want to find out what Cheng dΓΉ, just say it!" ”

"Okay, I know that you are Gu Zhenhua's henchman, and you should think about it for your master, not because of your high merits, you vainly try to control the government, the civil and military affairs, each in charge of a stall, stretching your hand too long, and offending too many people, this is not good!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell do you want?"

"Then let's get it straight, this official heard that when you interrogated the merchants, you got a lot of nonsense testimony, some of which were related to the six departments and nine qing, some of which were related to the elders of the court, and some of which were ridiculously related to the vassal kings, this kind of nonsense can't be believed at all. In addition, An ** has indeed worked hard, the court has discussed, and allocated you 1.2 million loads of military rations and 1.5 million taels of silver, which is already the limit that the court can come up with, so don't make any more trouble! ”

Wu Kaijie, Dai Ying, and Zhang Jinyan glanced at each other, and then laughed: "Ruan Dacheng, we didn't bow our heads in the face of the Tartars, do you think we will bow to you?" ”

Ruan Dacheng also showed a fierce light at this time, and as soon as he waved his hand, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie rushed over, and all the soldiers behind them rushed to the front and surrounded the three of them in the middle.

Liu Zeqing sneered and said: "They are all brothers who eat food and become soldiers, don't go too far, you want everything, then what should we do, everything is convenient for others, everyone can get by." ”

The faces of the three people sank like water, and they didn't say a word. Ruan Dacheng snorted coldly, "Toast and don't eat and drink, three, this official is offended!" ”

"Who dares to be presumptuous!"

At this moment, the horses' hooves rumbled outside, and the sound became even louder, and they took the lead and rushed in, followed by neat and fierce soldiers.

When Zhang Jinyan looked at them, his face immediately showed joy.

"Lord Shen, Senior Brother Shui is here just in time, otherwise this official's head may not have gotten anywhere!"

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, these clowns don't want to do whatever they want."

Ruan Dacheng saw Shen Tingyang rushing over, and immediately stared at him like a poisonous snake, and sneered: "Lord Shen, are you also desperate to follow Gu Zhenhua?" ”

"Lord Ruan, you misunderstood, Xia Guan was not sent by Grandpa Guo."

"What's that?"

"People's hearts!" Saying that, Shen Tingyang waved his hand, and a large group of scholars suddenly appeared behind his team, these people frowned angrily one by one, and walked in.
