It took three full days for the core officials of the Tongzhou Prefecture to finally sort out the account books that were scavenged from the home of the rudder of the Tongzhou branch of the Cao Gang.

Seeing the numbers in the booklet, except for the eldest lord, all the state officials who participated in sorting out the account books couldn't help but feel a strong chill.

800,000 taels!

The huge chain of interests involving 800,000 taels of silver unfolded a hideous side in their eyes.

This is just data on paper, and the value of the industry associated with it is not less than millions of taels, which is simply appalling.

How can a small Caobang Tongzhou rudder owner directly affect such a huge circulation of silver coins, and most of them are projects that are inexplicable.

As long as the brain is still normal, you will know that these money transactions of unknown origin are either smuggling or other illegal activities done secretly.

Not only that, but the account books record that there are business dealings with it, or to put it bluntly, there are merchants who have money dealings, which one is not a famous local tyrant in Tongzhou?

It's a big deal!

Obviously, the eldest man inadvertently stabbed the big basket and found out a huge smuggling illegal network with a chain of interests.

At the thought of facing the crazy counterattack of most of the powerful factions in Tongzhou, the state officials, including the newly appointed Tongzhi, turned pale with fright, and there was no despair in their hearts.

"What are you afraid of, before the matter is too big, just push the matter to the capital!"

The eldest lord didn't care, and said with a smile: "Is it possible, with such a wide range of things involved, will the imperial court let us come out of the top five small characters, don't think too highly of yourself!" ”

A word to wake up the dreamer!

It's impossible to get off the thief ship of the old man, and although this time is dangerous, it is also a rare opportunity.

What official has the opportunity to encounter such a major case that will definitely shock the palace during his term of office?

As a result, an urgent letter jointly signed by the Tongzhou Prefecture was sent to the capital as quickly as possible through secret channels.

And at this time, the eldest master has the heart and effort to deal with the chaos outside.

That's right, in the three days that a state official was almost sleepless and busy with the account books, there was already chaos outside.

The helmsman was arrested and sent to prison, and such a 'great shame' Cao gang naturally refused to give up.

Then there was the fact that the eldest master quickly led people to raid Lord Zhou Helm's house and took away dozens of boxes, but at that time, many passers-by saw it, and the news had already spread.

Some people who have ghosts in their hearts also want to try it, secretly instigating the Cao Gang to make trouble, and hundreds of elite men toss around the canal wharf first, which seriously affects the normal operation of the canal.

Seeing that the state government didn't react, they became bold, so they simply organized to block the street in front of the gate of the state government, and asked the state government to immediately release Lord Zhou Helm.

At the same time, some powerful people who had interests entanglements with Lord Zhou Helm, or for other reasons, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and put pressure on the eldest lord and the state officials who were closed through various channels.

Seeing that the Cao Gang did not make more excessive moves, the eldest lord did not deal with it in time, but now he naturally can't let it go, otherwise how can the eldest lord's face remain?

"Order all the officials and officials, and arrest all these guys who are making a lot of trouble!"

The eldest lord took the lead, picked up the Daguan knife that had not left his body recently, and was the first to rush out of the state office, rushing towards the dishonest Cao Gang, swatting all the most troublesome guys to the ground like swatting flies, including two good players whose strength is equivalent to the level of dark energy.

The strongest men were all beaten down, and the remaining Cao Gang men immediately lost their morale and were captured by the swarming officials and officials.

"All in prison and waiting to be dealt with!"

The eldest lord was domineering with a knife in his hand, and no one dared to look at each other as far as his eyes could see.

……

A letter of secret fold to the heavens, the Beijing division thunder!

Tongzhou and the capital are very close, and it only took half a day for the master to brew the secret fold to be sent to today's desk through the channel of the Tongzheng Division.

Seeing the words '100,000 urgent' on the top of the secret fold, my heart is in a pang today, put aside the other things at hand first, and pick up the secret fold on the big man and read it directly.

After reading the content of the secret fold, his face is now iron-blue!

Examine! Examine! Examine!

This is today's attitude, there is no room for sand in the eyes, let alone such an interest network in the gateway of Gyeonggi, who knows if there is a related but even larger interest network in the capital.

In addition, the smuggling of smuggled salt in the midst of the secret compromise has seriously affected the normal fiscal revenue of the government, which has made the state treasury not very full and living a small life very angry.

Immediately called the cabinet ministers, discussed with them for a long time, arranged a targeted action plan, and then waved his hand to call the cabinet action.

"Jia Enhou, good job!"

Waiting for the cabinet ministers to leave, walking around in the empty Qianqing Palace today, the mood has been calm for a long time, and Jia Enhou, who has made an urgent secret report, is quite satisfied.

Although I knew that the officials below had colluded with local tycoons and Jianghu forces, and secretly did some illegal things, I just didn't expect that the matter had reached such a serious level.

There is only one Cao Bang Tongzhou rudder, and there are no less than one million taels of rogue hands every year, which involves at least millions of industrial values, and the direct and indirect impacts are only more amazing.

What is infuriating is that most of these commercial exchanges are not visible, which means that the imperial court cannot collect a penny of silver tax at all, and it feels distressing to think about it.

This is just a Cao Gang Tongzhou rudder, the entire Cao Gang controls thousands of miles of canal traffic, and the places it passes through are the most elite hinterland of Daqi.

Needless to say, the amount of money involved is even more staggering and huge.

The key is that these commercial exchanges involving millions of taels of silver can only be achieved by paying taxes normally, otherwise such a chain of interests cannot be allowed to continue to exist today.

Today's temperament is very stubborn, and everything that is not on the right path is basically not approved by him.

The practice of beating the eldest lord at a huge risk is quite satisfactory today, and as for the details such as the eldest lord's domineering, he doesn't care at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest master was so domineering and unreasonable, he would not have suddenly been implicated in such a big matter.

It's just that this guy doesn't know if he has ever thought about the consequences of unifying the hornet's nest?

Today, the cabinet has secretly begun to act, but on the surface, the court is still the same as usual, but suddenly there are more excerpts to impeach the eldest master.

What is rampant in the state and county, what is arrogant and domineering, what is insulting, and what is the loss of official face, and other things have all been taken out, anyway, looking at the posture of the courtiers who impeached the big lord, this time the big man will definitely make the big lord suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, their brains have not been broken, and they have not taken charges such as dereliction of duty and corruption against the law, and put them on the head of the new master who has not yet figured out the situation, otherwise he would have to make a fortune today.

I don't know who it is, seeing that the direct impeachment of the eldest master has little effect, he suddenly aimed at the second master of politics who was still locked up in the prison of the criminal department, and used the second master of politics as a breakthrough to target the eldest master.

It's a disaster!

This is the reaction of the Rongguo Mansion and others after hearing the news.

"These villains are extremely hateful, the second child has not yet come out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and now they are targeting the boss again, do they really think that Rongguofu is easy to bully?"

Jia's mother was angry, the successive accidents had tormented her enough, the second son had not been fished out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and now the eldest son was in trouble again, and he couldn't be reasonable.

If the two sons are all finished, then the Rongguo Mansion will be completely finished, and Lian Er, the lord and the head of the family, will not be at all at the moment.

"What did the boss do to hurt the heavens and cause the court officials to be impeached?"

Mother Jia felt inexplicable in her panic, as if the boss was suddenly attacked by a group of court officials, and there was no sign to make people confused, I don't know what happened?

"Old lady, grandson really doesn't know what's going on!"

Lian Er's face was depressed, and he said in a loud voice: "Sun Er has asked a lot of colleagues in private, and they don't understand what happened!" ”

What the hell, does the eldest master have a natural physique that attracts hatred?

Mother Jia has no problem, she absolutely can't tolerate the bad luck of her two sons together, so the old feudal monarch of Rongguo Mansion also opened her activities, and met a lot of old princesses and princesses in a row, called Mrs. Wang and other juniors of Rongguo Mansion, and saw the old lady's strong network of connections.

These old ladies are almost all the top women in the capital, and the news they can find out is naturally extraordinary, and they quickly found out the reason for the impeachment of the eldest master.

"This rebel knew that he had caused such a big incident, and he didn't know how to talk to the house in advance, which caused the old woman to lose a lot of face!"

Knowing the specific reason, Jia Mu was suddenly angry.

"Old lady, you can't say that!"

Lian Er was not happy, and retorted in a gentle tone: "The eldest master is also helping the second uncle deal with the matter of dredging the canal, and he has caused a huge storm when he encounters trouble, if there is no matter for the second uncle, the eldest master will not have a conflict with others!" ”

Startled!

Lian Er's words are naturally very reasonable, but it's a pity that Rongguo Mansion is not a reasonable place, anyway, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang recognized that the eldest master is a troublemaker, and I don't know if I can escape this time?

Not to mention that Rongguofu is in chaos again, and now the posture of supporting the eldest lord is very resolute, not only will all the twists and turns of impeachment be left in the middle, but when the matter in Tongzhou is completely fermented, and the impeachment has entered almost madness, Jia Zheng was released from the prison of the Criminal Department, and he was not even deprived of his official body.

Such a naked support made the officials in the court dumbfounded, and they just wanted to shout: The emperor can't be so partial!
