At night, Jinling City is brilliantly lit, ten miles of Qin Huai Sheng's song continues to float in the dark fragrance, the colorful flags of each painting boat are swaggering and the lanterns are dazzling, the lights of the Wupeng boat are swaying and drifting slowly, and there are several cargo ships moored here, the person in charge of the ship may have gone to which painting boat to find the romance, there are only a few small minions left on the cargo ship, but they are also worried about these flower boats, complaining that the masters are going to be merry and happy, only they are the people who are bitter haha.

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial History Mansion of Patrol Salt raided and searched, like a spear cutting through the charming gentleness on the river, this time it was not the gentle and smiling Imperial History that took the lead, the smiling tiger retracted behind this time, and the leader was a young man with a noble temperament in a python robe and jade belt, thinking of the prince who had stayed in the Imperial History Mansion recently, and many people on the painting boat had a bottom.

The golden boy was cold-eyed and not angry, and stopped the singing and dancing, and asked everyone to stand on the riverbank, and the boats were empty, and he wanted to search them one by one.

The old bustard with heavy makeup smiled coquettishly, sprayed powder with a mouth, dusted off the handkerchief and wanted to come up and say good things, but was opened by the guards beside the golden boy, so he had to stand up and put on a smiling face: "We are all doing business, the prince can be gentle, these petites can't be frightened." ”

While the bustard was talking, a weak beauty in white stood beside her, and gently bowed to the golden boy: "Lord Wan'an, maybe our sisters will pack up later?" We ......"

"Either you go up by yourself, or I will let people throw you up, who dares to obstruct the courtiers' work, go to the prison for a few days first!"

The beauty was so frightened by the golden boy's angry reprimand that her face turned white, two lines of tears flowed down, the pear blossom brought rain and was pitiful, but the golden boy was stunned and unmoved, seeing that they were still standing still, he directly raised his hand and let people go to catch up, those officers and soldiers did not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and drove the people on the boat to the shore with a knife and half pushed and half a frame, and then began to search each boat, even if it was a painting boat, it was also a place to hide filth and dirt, how could he let it go.

Most of the people who come to this Qinhuai River to find happiness are rich businessmen, and there are also some young literati who are vassals and elegant, but these people dare not speak out about the strength of the golden boy. I think it was the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who heard the news that the golden boy came to investigate the case, and they all converged one or two times during this time, and they didn't dare to commit crimes against the wind, so the goods found on these cargo ships and the strips were all right, but those few painting boats, on the bright side, Shengge and Man Dance were gentle townships, and secretly did some unsavory business, those girls hid some salt in the cage, the amount is not much, but it is illegal to sell smuggled salt, no matter how many catties and taels you hide, you want to get out after being searched? The golden boy arrested all the managers of several flower houses involved, which girl hid salt in the cage, and followed him to squat in the prison, no matter how popular you are in Jinling, how high your value is, no one will treat you preferentially in prison.

The people involved were arrested, and there were not so many people living in the prison, so the golden boy sealed the flower buildings first, and the people who were not directly involved in the case were taken care of first, and they were allowed to enter but not to go out.

Liu Yushi was busy before and after, the prince was only responsible for giving orders, he was doing everything, and the feeling of having a backer in his heart was not ordinary, he walked with the wind, in the past, those salt merchants and officials protected each other, and he was sloppy, but now he has encountered an iron plate, the prince does not listen to their quibbles, he only believes in the evidence he has found.

To say that this prince is more evil than him, he sneaked to other people's boats to check the evidence, he was still a little aggrieved, he was a serious official from the scientific examination, he should fight against the evil forces with a knife and a gun, and after collecting the evidence, he was with them in the Bo Gong court, but he wanted to take such a private way, I thought that the prince was coming, they could do a big job, but the prince played the private more smoothly than him, saying that since you have the evidence, you don't have to search anymore, they have got the news, and they must be honest recently, let's find out what we can find out. Just make some of your own.

The so-called production of evidence by the prince is to stuff a few bags of salt in the people's painting boat, and then detain all the people involved, and then go to the shipping chambers of commerce to check the account books and check the warehouse, the accounts of these chambers of commerce are naturally beautiful, Liu Yushi is in charge of the salt administration, and he has raised people who check the accounts, and they all know that there are two sets of accounts for those who do business, one set of external accounts is used to deal with the tax government, and one set of internal accounts is their real income and expenditure. It's just that due to various reasons, it can be seen that it can't be studied deeply, let alone forced people to hand over the internal accounts.

The golden boy is now taking people to check, just because he grabbed the handle, he checked more carefully, and when he saw where there were doubts, he asked people to take out various vouchers, the golden boy was not very familiar with these businesses, he asked Liu Yushi to stare at the account room, he looked around, and saw that people's rooms were locked, so he asked: "What is this room for?" ”

The entourage was embarrassed, saying that this was their archive room, which was full of trade secrets and could not be shown to others, so the golden boy didn't ask any more, and made up his mind that he would have to come to these chambers of commerce to explore at night, and it would be great if he could find the account books.

Liu Yushi had thought of this method before, people's account books were tightly hidden, how could it be easy for people to find, the evidence he collected before was just some corners, such as where the two business houses had a secret meeting, whose ship was not the right weight, but the dock inspectors easily let it go, and which of the firm's heads secretly also bought the industry, in short, it was not the same as the book profit dividends of the firm, according to the dividends of their firms, it was not enough for him to buy so much private property. These are all circumstantial evidence, if there is direct evidence, the emperor directly ordered him to arrest people, how can he still send a messenger to investigate the case, the golden boy also felt difficult after he arrived, it is indeed not a good job.

After a few catties of salt were found on the painting boat that day, Jin Tong and Liu Yushi searched the city every day, and the chambers of commerce have carefully checked, and the ships on the dock have not let go, and they have found nothing for many days, and the few catties of salt found on the painting boat are not enough to become evidence of his arrest, and the people have been locked up for a few days, and there is no further evidence of the crime, he can't say that he wants to detain them, and the families of these people have also gone to the yamen a few times, Liu Yushi is under great pressure, and the golden boy can't, so he has to let people go, but he can't let them go in vain, Count the money according to the head, and you are not allowed to leave if you don't pay it.

After letting these people go, Jin Tong and Liu Yushi fell into a helpless situation, both of them were anxious, Liu Yushi was broken, and the emperor also sent Qin to send them, so they couldn't catch anyone, but they slapped the emperor in the face.

The golden boy wants to repeat the old trick again, he can't find evidence, he can make evidence, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add, as a superior person, if he wants to get rid of the people below, do he have to find evidence?

If everything was justified, there would not be so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
