In the court of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, the Chu and Luo families stood aside, the Luo family said that the Chu family sent someone to pretend to be pirates to rob his goods, but the Chu family said that they bought it from the merchants who came here, and the purchase and sale documents were readily available.

This is obviously someone who wants to do a business without a foundation, first robbed the Luo family's things, and then sold them to the Chu family, it seems that this matter is deliberately destroying the relationship between the Luo and Chu families.

Many families in Yuncheng know that the Luo and Chu families have a marriage contract, and they will marry the second son of the Chu family when the young lady of the Luo family turns sixteen next month. Could this be someone who wants to sabotage this family affair and do this?

What's more, this sea ban is an order of the emperor, if the Luo family disregards the emperor's order in vain and secretly smuggles fruits into Cloud City, then the Chu family, who has a marriage contract with her family, will also be implicated, and the Chu family will definitely not be so stupid.

"Luo Xin, you disobeyed the emperor's order and smuggled fruits, do you know that you are going to confiscate your family property and be sentenced to exile?" Jing Zhaoyin said angrily.

Hearing this, Boss Luo's body shook, he originally just wanted to catch the person who robbed him of fruits, but now, this Jing Zhaoyin wants to sentence him for secretly smuggling fruits, which is really worth the loss.

"My lord, the grass people are also forced to do it, the grass people are in the fruit business, and they usually buy fruits by sea, which is a sea ban, and the grass people will not be able to live, and the grass people also have to support their families, and please give the adults a light punishment." Boss Luo kowtowed heavily.

"Lenient punishment? You have been in business for a long time, even if it is a temporary ban on the sea, it will not affect your family's livelihood, and your boss Luo's family has a big business, and it is not that you can't open the pot. Jing Zhaoyin said with a displeased face.

This Luo Xin is clearly making excuses for his own violations and crimes, if he lets him go so easily, won't everyone else follow suit? Although this sea ban does have a lot of impact, the imperial decree is the imperial decree and cannot be disobeyed.

"Luo Xin, don't quibble, if you disobey the emperor's order, you will be dealt with in accordance with the law." Jing Zhaoyin said angrily.

"My lord, the grass people were wronged, and the grass people didn't dare to do this, and the grass people did it by others." Luo Xin said hurriedly.

"Oh? Commanded? By whom? "Jing Zhao Yin is so good that he has a good time.

"It's him, it's Chu Jing who instructed me, he said that the emperor has implemented a sea ban, and I don't know when it will be lifted, so let me secretly transport fruits, day and night, and I will definitely be able to escape the inspection of the sea patrol." Luo Xin said hurriedly.

He definitely didn't dare to tell the other party about the last time he encountered the patrol team, otherwise, he would have to add another bribe to the official for the crime of smuggling.

can still do patrols, it must not be an ordinary family, this cloud city is intertwined, who knows if you offend people when you say it, the end will be worse. Anyway, this idea was also told by Chu Jing, and now that he is suspected of robbing his own goods, it is better to pull him into the water together.

Chu Jing heard Luo Xin say this, he was also anxious, he was just joking at the beginning, who knew that this Luo Xin would really go to smuggle, a few days ago I saw him selling those fresh fruits, I knew that he was secretly smuggled back, but he thought that he was about to become a family member, so he didn't break it, but he didn't expect this Luo Xin to bite himself like a mad dog.

"My lord, please don't listen to Luo Xin's nonsense, the grass people didn't say that he would smuggle and smuggle fruits, he wants to frame the grass people, and please let the adults know it." Chu actually bowed his hand and saluted.

Jing Zhaoyin naturally had no way to know whether Chu actually said that he would let Luo Xin smuggle fruits, but now the facts have been laid out in front of him, Luo Xin smuggled fruits, and Chu actually bought stolen goods for sale, both of them are guilty. It's just that in the current law, there is no crime of smuggling and smuggling fruits, and some are only smuggling contraband, so how can this fruit be considered contraband?

Thinking about it, Jing Zhaoyin decided to hand over this matter to the emperor to deal with, after all, this matter of the sea ban is also his order, Luo Xin's matter will be punished heavily, and if the punishment is light, someone will follow suit desperately.

"Come on, put Chu Jing and Luo Xin all in prison and deal with them after listening." Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to put both of them in prison temporarily, waiting for the emperor's holy ruling.

In the early morning of the next day, Jing Zhaoyin started this matter in front of Nangong Yihan, the trouble caused by the sea ban, Nangong Yihan had already expected it, but what he didn't expect was that there were people in Cloud City who dared to smuggle fruits in, and there were also people who dared to pretend to be pirates to rob.

Let's put aside this Luo Xin's fruit smuggling thing, just talk about this person who is pretending to be a pirate, hasn't the patrol found out? They are all talents cultivated by the imperial court, in order to ensure the tranquility of everything at sea, and the current result is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

"Hai Guangen," Nangong said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the commander of the navy immediately came out and knelt in the middle of the court, "Your Majesty ......"

"How could someone pretend to be a pirate and rob a merchant ship? Do you patrols eat dry food? ”

"Your Majesty, this ...... This...... Recently, because of the sea ban, there are not so many merchant ships on the sea, and some small fishing boats go out to sea to fish every day, so the patrol team is arranged more loosely. ”

This naval commander is a newly created position, although it is the same level as the commander of the infantry army, but the equipment and military supplies given by the imperial court to the navy are better than those of the infantry army.

For this reason, many young people will first apply for the navy when they join the army, and only those who have been brushed down by the navy will go to the infantry army. Because of this, the commander of the infantry army was already dissatisfied with this, but he did not dare to bring it up to the emperor. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he naturally has to step on a few feet.

"Lord Hai, you are shirking your responsibility, everyone knows the reason why the emperor imposed the ban on the sea, you don't send more patrols, but reduce them, just to make it convenient for profiteers like Luo Xin, I don't know how much benefit you have gained from it, Lord Hai?"

"Yin Dezhong, don't spew blood, I sympathize with the hard work of the soldiers, thinking that no one dares to smuggle so boldly, and since the merchant ships at sea have stopped sailing, the smuggling ships are also easy to discover, and our naval officers and men naturally know how to deal with it." Hai Guangen said angrily.

"Lord Hai, you ......"

"That's enough, you all participated in the imperial examination and were selected by the imperial court, why are you only bickering one by one? Don't you feel that you have secured your official position, so you think about gags? If you are not competent, make peace with me as soon as possible, this year's autumn season is about to begin, and I just need to absorb some fresh blood and replace you fools. Nangong Yi said coldly.

These courtiers, after an assessment, still don't know what to do and what not to do? If the officials of the imperial court are like this, they will abandon the interests of the country for their own interests, and sooner or later they will have to play the game.

"Jiang Tian, you will assist Jing Zhaoyin in finding out who robbed the merchant ship, as for the matter of Luo Xin and Chu Jing, Mo Huaiyuan, you will lock them up for a month, and then fine some silver."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Tian's identity is naturally much higher than Jingzhao Yin Mohuai, Nangong Yihan asked Jiang Tian to come forward, just to tell all the businessmen that this matter has attracted the attention of the imperial court, and someone has been sent to investigate. In this way, those who have ghosts in their hearts will naturally not dare to act rashly.

Jiang Tian took his cronies to secretly visit for a few days, and finally had some eyebrows, it turned out that this matter was indeed done by an acquaintance. In the public court of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the people of the Luo Chu family were summoned to the scene again.

"Luo Xin, Chu Jing, one of you smuggled fruit and the other sold stolen goods, both of which violated the ban. This official thinks of your first offense, and for the sake of your livelihood, he deliberately gives you a chance, and you will each be fined 10,000 taels of silver to return to the treasury, and you will be imprisoned in Jing Zhaoyin's prison for a month, can you accept it? ”

"Go back to your lordship, grass people's clothes." Luo Xin and Chu Jing knelt down in unison.

For the two of them, it will be okay to be detained for only one month and confiscate 10,000 taels of silver, which is worth it, although the 10,000 taels of silver is a little painful, but it can't hurt at all, as long as they are okay, the 10,000 taels of silver can still be earned back.

"My lord, for your disposal, the grass people are served, but the grass people's shipload of goods and a merchant ship, but Chu actually recruited people to rob them?" Luo Xin wondered.

These days, he was locked up with Chu Jing, and Chu Jing always said that he really didn't rob his merchant ships, and someone must have done it because he wanted to destroy the friendship between them. And he himself calmed down, and carefully considered the whole thing, if it was really Chu Jing's doing, naturally he would not have sold the stolen fruit publicly the next day.

"Although this matter was not done by Chu Jing, it has nothing to do with the Chu family." Jiang Tian on the side said in a deep voice.

What the? Inseparable from the Chu family? Hearing Jiang Tian say this, Chu was also puzzled, he didn't know what was going on with this matter at all, and how could it have anything to do with his Chu family? This young boy is not talking nonsense.

However, he could see that Jiang Tian's official uniform was much higher than that of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and he should not be able to talk nonsense with such an identity.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Chu Jing said with a displeased face.

"Then I have to ask Grand Master Chu about this matter." Jiang Tian took a long time to say.

Hearing this, Chu actually looked at his eldest son Chu Ruotai, this son of his, who has always been gentle and polite to everyone, how could he have anything to do with this matter?

Chu Ruotai hung his head and pondered for a long time, he knew that since someone had found out that this matter was related to him, then he might not be able to hide it even if he wanted to, it was better for him to tell the whole thing from beginning to end, maybe there would be unexpected results. Thinking of this, Chu Ruotai cleared his throat and spoke slowly......
