Chapter 85: Breaking the Deadlock

"You and I are at the same level, and I have no right to interfere with you, I just hope that Lord Song will do it himself." The salt transport made his heart angry, and naturally spoke unceremoniously.

"Lord Zhu, you and I have worked together in Yangzhou for two years, what is Song's character, I believe you are clear, Song will never be ...... if he is not eighty percent sure."

"Eighty percent sure of the dare to act? Do you know that once the salt shop is in chaos, the people of the entire Yangzhou will ......"

"But my Liang country is not only the people of Yangzhou, but also the people of the rest of the states and counties, the two Huai salt taxes are a quarter of the treasury income of my Liang country, if we don't cut off this black hand of tax evasion, then what gas does my Liang country have, and what way do the people have to live." I know that Lord Zhu also cares about the people of Yangzhou, but now this situation has to focus on the overall situation. ”

"My lord, here comes the proof!" "According to the ledger, a total of 5 million stone of salt was transported last year, but the tax paid to the imperial court was only 800,000 stone. The discrepancy in the amount is so large that it has to be thoroughly investigated. Gan Sui handed the ledger to the salt envoy

"I will now personally mobilize troops and besiege the mansions of those profiteers. ”

The movement at night was very great, and many people hid behind the window to peek, probably knowing that the sky in Yangzhou City was about to change. The people of the entire patrol battalion walked neatly and began to encircle the various mansions, Gan Sui and Song Mingyuan, and the Yan Imperial Envoy rushed to President Liu's mansion. Gan Sui hit the horse very fast, and he had a vague premonition in his heart that it might be too late. From the moment they started this struggle unprepared, it was as if someone had been watching behind the scenes, no matter how fast they were, others would have a back hand.

When they arrived at President Liu's house, sure enough, there was a cry in the house, and President Liu had committed suicide by hanging a beam in the room, leaving behind a letter of letters.

mentioned in the last pen that he knew that he had no activity, and now he committed suicide in fear of crime and only begged his family to give him a lighter punishment. The sale of private salt should be salted, and all salt sources come from salt transportation.

It was a night that was destined to be sleepless. Gan Sui and Song Mingyuan, the salt transport envoy made the three of them reconcile the accounts overnight, and found that the difference in salt tax was as huge as 10 million taels. Combined with Liu Youcai's suicide note, Yan Yunzhi only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell between many account books. Such a huge deficit has to be filled with brains.

The salt merchants were detained at home for half a night, and they began to protect themselves. One by one, they said that they were white lotuses that came out of the mud and were not stained, and they were forced by the salt transport envoy and Chairman Liu to start selling illicit salt as a last resort.

Since the salt transport envoy passed out that day, he woke up in a trance. Hearing these people climbing wildly, their faces turned red with anger, but they couldn't say a word. In the final analysis, it is a fact that he has a close personal relationship with Liu Youcai, and it is also a fact that he does not observe the huge amount of illegal salt circulation, as for the salt quotations he wants to say are not provided by him, and he is not involved in this transaction, it is difficult to be convincing to say it.

Officialdom is like this, one wrong step and one wrong step, and you can't turn back. Mrs. Yanyun wanted to actively promote her daughter's wedding with Wen's cousin, but she said that her son was not in good health and did not want to delay the girl. At first, Mrs. Yanyun thought it was a pretext, and found a famous doctor to come to the door, but after checking the pulse, she was seriously ill.

Mrs. Yanyun doesn't want to give up yet, even if her daughter marries and stays alive, it is better than being affected by the family now and being exiled for thousands of miles. The Wen family didn't agree. The salt transport case was transmitted back to the capital as soon as he spoke, and the emperor was furious, and sent the newly promoted Shangshu Lijing of the Criminal Department to personally go down to investigate thoroughly, plus Lin Tianyu held the sword of Shang Fang, and once he found corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he was immediately beheaded.

and immediately set out to open Enke, the most important thing in the world is people who want to be officials, just like cutting off leeks, and a new stubble will grow rapidly when the wind blows.

The secretary is so busy every day that he hits the back of his head, and he has to deal with his colleagues from all sides who suddenly become enthusiastic, which is really tiring. Also tired is Marquis Wen. He has never believed in gods and Buddhas, and suddenly he had an urge to go to the temple to count a hexagram.

Since the year before last, he has been doing things badly, and there are fewer and fewer chess pieces that can be used, and he finally made a lot of money last year, but he has been ruthlessly planted this year.

"Master Hou, someone from the Second Master's Mansion has come up."

Marquis Wen didn't like his second brother very much, he was greedy and greedy, and he wanted to send him away, but he didn't think that he had already broken in, "Big brother, big brother...... What's going on, why did Yu'er die? ”

"What are you yelling about, for fear that others will not know? It's not that he is cautious in doing things himself, but if he wants to be a little more careful, how can he be held by Song Mingyuan and them. I said a long time ago not to provoke the Song family, he didn't believe it, now it's okay...... Falling into this ending can be regarded as his own fault. ”

"Big brother, he's your own nephew!"

"As long as it's not good for the family, even if it's my own son, I can do it. Don't you make trouble with me anymore, don't you have a son there? Tiandong, a child with a tough heart and a wise mind, is a good hand at training more. Much better than Yuqing. ”

"What do you mean by this, is it possible that I have already lost one son, and I have to let another son also pay for it. Besides, you know Tiandong's body, if you don't have good medicine, how can you live until now. Even if the eldest brother has pity on me, let my only son be able to get married and have children like ordinary children, and spend the rest of his life in peace. ”

"As a descendant of our Wen family, what qualifications does he have to say like an ordinary family. Not to mention anything else, his sick pile of silver was spent like water to hang this life, if he was born in an ordinary family, can he do it? Second brother, don't be too short-sighted, this time is different from the past, our family has been pressed by the emperor step by step, if we can't unite tightly, then sooner or later the whole family will be destroyed. ”

"In the early years, I advised my eldest brother to leave a line in everything, if there was no ...... back then"

"I'm just too soft-hearted now, if I had directly found someone to get rid of Lin Tianyu, that kid, how could there be a place for their Lin family to turn over now."

"It's not that you haven't looked for it, it's Lin Tianyu's life that shouldn't be extinguished, the eldest brother wants me to say, why don't we learn from the Confucian family back then, and retire directly to the court, the situation is not too bad now, save your life......"

"Don't say anything that doesn't make sense. What have I worked hard all my life for, isn't it a step forward in my Wen family's century-old family business? Now you tell me to retreat, and when I retreat, it will really be a man-made sword, I will be a fish, and I will not resist at all...... Now there are still concubines in the palace, and there are second princes, and I don't know who will kill the deer! ”

Second Master Wen persuaded him not to listen, so he could only get up, and when he walked to the door, he said: "The eldest brother is going to go his own way, but being a younger brother really has to think about the future generations of my Wen family." In two days, I will make an excerpt to the emperor, saying that I miss my deceased mother and want to go back to keep filial piety, so I have to leave a root for the Wen family. ”

"Whatever you want, just don't regret it in the future!"

Old Man Wen didn't reply, and walked out of the house directly.

Marquis Wen couldn't believe that he had worked hard for most of his life, and he had actually let Qi Nanxing swallow and eat away little by little. He calmed down and thought about the chess pieces he could use. Among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were damaged. The Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households have not been able to hold on, and now only the Ministry of Industry can be used. And the palace ...... Yes, he still has dark chess in the palace. There's no way he's going to lose.

The imperial court's will came much faster than that of the Qin Mission, and soon the important salt transportation in Yangzhou City reduced the family to prisoners. Wait until the Chin cha comes to be convicted. It is also magical, Mrs. Weaving has always looked at the salt transport to make Mrs. unpleasant, and always feels that she is vulgar. But this time the salt transport caused the family to suffer, but she ran left and right to change the clean cell for the family. Gan Sui also respected the old boss and instructed the cell boss not to make things difficult.

Rao is so, the current days are a world of difference compared to the past. When Mrs. Weaving sent something to the Yanyun Envoy's family for the second time, she found that there was already Hua Hair on the sideburns of the Yanyun's wife, and her heart was sour: "Don't worry, you haven't been convicted yet, maybe there will be a turnaround." Our lord and Gan Fujun are running for you. ”

The salt envoy suddenly smiled: "This time the case is not more than usual, the emperor wants to shake the officialdom of these two Huai, and if he presses these salt merchants, he will definitely kill the chickens and make an example." In the end, it was my misconduct in daily life that caused my wife and daughter to suffer with me. ”

"How can a family say such a thing, just pity Lian Yun......"

"Speaking of which, my father has a disciple who is a little poor, but he is a very good person. He is also knowledgeable, and if you don't dislike it, I'll talk to him, so that I can get through the current difficulties first. If the will is given, there is no room for conversion. ”

"Sister Kong, are you serious...... Now I don't care about my family background, as long as I can ......."

"I will never get married." Zhu Lianyun was categorical: "Father and mother can suffer, how can I enjoy happiness alone." If my father and mother insist on forcing me, then I would rather die in prison right now. ”

"You ...... Wicked Obstacle"

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect her daughter to be so fierce, so she could only say: "We understand Sister Kong's kindness, since we are a family, let's end up whatever we want." ”

Mrs. Kong sighed, and told Zhu Lianyun to change her mind and look for her, so she was out of prison.

The salt transport envoy was imprisoned, and the court almost exploded. The salt transport envoy is a big fat shortage. Especially in the past in this situation, if you are not careful, it will be a great achievement, and it will be different if you come back to get it. The forces of all parties competed, Qi Nanxing watched them quarrel on the throne, and when they quarreled until their lips were dry, it was finally decided that the weaving envoy and the Yangzhou prefect would jointly manage the salt transportation affairs.

The ministers looked at each other, and then knelt down the mountain and shouted long live the wisdom.

"Looking at the earthy looks of those people, it's really relieving." Anzi was talking to Qi Nanxing while watching the excerpts in the inner hall, he has not officially gone to the court yet, but he is just listening in the side hall, observing the appearance of everyone in the court, and he has gained some results in the past few months.

"These people who are vegetarians only think about fighting for power. Wait, I'll clean them up one by one. ”

"Uncle is almost in Yangzhou now, I'm really envious!"

"It doesn't matter if you wait for another year and a half, when the situation in Yangzhou is stable, I will let Gan Sui and his family come back. I heard you had a lot of stuff for those two kids. Lin Tianyu was still complaining, he was going to kill people with a sword, not to distribute gifts, and he was also carrying all kinds of children's toys, thinking about it, he felt that the image was wrong.

"My sister wrote to say that the little nephew and the little niece will be able to speak, and they will leave, and they must have started to play with toys, and they will have what other children have."

"Children grow up fast, the next time you see them, they may all run fast."

"I really miss it." Anzi raised her eyes and looked at the sky in the four corners of the palace, she really missed them.
