After the city guard sent people to lock up the rest of the Zhuangzi, he began to interrogate everyone as instructed, but the most important owner of the village was silent, and he had no choice but to go to the person who had taken them.

"Husband, what do you think?" Shen Baiqing was very interested in this, of course, she felt that there was no need to interrogate ordinary traders who bought and sold illicit salt, but she was very interested in the people behind so many salts.

"Okay, let's go together." Seeing Shen Baiqing's expression, Su Bowen knew what she thought, and it just so happened that who was behind the scenes, and he also wanted to find out.

When the two arrived at the cell, they saw that the owner of the village was tied to the interrogation chair, and the expression on his face was still so calm and light, not at all like a prisoner.

"From the time he came in to the present, he didn't say a word, he wanted to torture him, but he thought that the person was captured by Hou Ye, and he didn't know anything behind the scenes, so he came to ask Hou Ye to decide." After the city guard finished talking about the situation, he left, and at this time, only Su Bowen, Shen Baiqing and the owner of the village were left in the cell.

"The owner of the village is really loyal to the people behind him, I wonder if this person in the capital will take you to heart?" Shen Baiqing wanted to blow up who was behind him.

"Madame doesn't have to work in vain, if you want to get news from me, it's impossible." With that person's means, if he betrayed him, his fate would be a hundred times worse than at this time.

And he believed that he would get him out, as long as he held on.

"You're so confident? Owner, do you know what the crime of selling illicit salt is, we can directly behead you. Do you say that the person behind you is trying to save you in such a situation? Or will they just use you as a scapegoat and abandon you as a pawn? Shen Baiqing understood that the person behind this person must not be simple, otherwise this owner would not be like this.

But the more powerful the person, the more afraid of getting into trouble, especially in this turbulent period of the new emperor's imperial court, the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, but I don't know if this person who dares to seek money in the turbulent period is a royal person or someone else?

"You're going to be annoyed, and you're going to know the consequences of being nosy." After saying this, the owner closed his eyes and rested, and no longer paid attention to the two.

Su Bowen didn't speak from the beginning, and when he saw this, he knew that there would be no result, so he took Shen Baiqing out.

"Husband, who do you say is the person behind this? We will have ** annoyance, if this owner is so confident, it seems that the identity is not small. "Shen Baiqing has never been afraid of trouble.

Since she was a child, the troubles around her have not been broken, especially during this time, ** annoyance has appeared around them one after another, and there are not many more.

"It seems that things are not so simple, and there may be something unknown behind this matter." Su Bowen had an intuition, this time the people were probably still from the capital.

"Master Hou, what else do we need to do now?" The castle guard stepped forward to ask.

"Arrest all the people who have business dealings with the owner, no, as long as they are connected, and see who they are." Su Bowen felt that starting from the people who did business, he could see the size of the things that the people behind them were planning, and then make a decision.

"Yes." After receiving the order, the castle guard immediately went to do it.

The city guard's movements were still very fast, and all those who had contact with Zhuangzi were immediately arrested.

Looking at these people who were caught, the city guard's heart was even more shocked, he didn't expect that it was actually a famous merchant and a wealthy family in Yanzhou, who were actually buying and selling illegal salt, as a city guard, he only found out now, it was really a huge dereliction of duty.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the city guard immediately went to report to Su Bowen.

Su Bowen didn't expect that there were so many people who were connected with Zhuangzi, and they were all people with such identities. Everyone here is like this, so how many people in the capital buy and sell illegal salt?

"This matter cannot be delayed, I must immediately send a letter to the capital." Su Bowen realized the seriousness of the matter and had to let the capital know immediately.

"Okay, I'll interrogate the owner again and see if I can ask something." Shen Baiqing didn't want to be so powerless, she felt that the owner was a big breakthrough, and hoped to ask for some useful information.

Seeing Shen Baiqing appear in front of him again, the owner of the village still kept silent and kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't seen it.

"Do you think it makes sense for you not to say anything right now? Do you know how big this is? Now that we have been to the capital, I'm afraid that you can't afford it alone? No matter how great the ability of the person behind this is, he can't save you. Looking at the owner of the farm, Shen Baiqing's interrogation began with a hint of anger.

I don't know which of Shen Baiqing's words stimulated the owner, and finally opened his eyes and looked at Shen Baiqing.

"I'm just in charge of selling salt, I don't know anything else, you don't have to waste your time on me." The owner said bluntly, "And the hot behind me is a big man, and you don't have to know who it is." ”

"Big shots? The magnates of the capital? Shen Baiqing knew that the owner of the village must know more than that, but he couldn't be tortured, because he had already been sent to the capital, so he wouldn't deal with it privately.

Next, no matter what Shen Baiqing asked, the owner of the village only had that sentence, he was just a salt merchant, and the big man behind him was a wealthy family in Beijing, and he didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the owner closed his eyes again and was silent, there was no way, Shen Baiqing had no choice but to leave.

Watching Shen Baiqing leave, the owner of the village broke away his eyes. At this time, since he has already been in the capital, then he must also know. It seems that he is not far away.

At this time, the owner of the village did not know that Shangshu Jingcheng did not speed him out of the cell, but pushed him further towards death.

Yanzhou private salt was written to the capital, and the emperor was furious when he received Su Bowen's recital, so many merchants and wealthy families in Yanzhou were actually buying private salt, and he didn't know how many other places there were.

"How is this handled? What do you suggest? Looking at the courtiers, the emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the minister thinks that it is better to send people to Beijing for accountability." The prime minister saw that everyone bowed their heads and did not speak, and the emperor's anger grew bigger and bigger, and he made this suggestion.

The emperor also knew that this matter was definitely not just a matter of Yanzhou, and felt that the prime minister's words were very reasonable, so he sent people to Yanzhou to escort people back to the capital for trial.

When those people arrived in Yanzhou, Su Bowen and the city guard received them, and after receiving the will, Su Bowen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that he was going to be separated from Shen Baiqing again.

Because of the big stake, Su Bowen needs to follow the team back to the capital according to his will.
