"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the minister ordered the officials in charge of the investigation that if the results cannot be found today, the main officials will be corrected on the spot, and everyone is afraid of death, and there will be results in the evening."

Yang Xiandao.

"It's... Isn't that right? ”

Zhu Biao said worriedly, he felt that Yang Xian's methods were too cruel and could lead to some unnecessary problems, which was contrary to his consistent advocacy.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, suddenly said with appreciation on his face:

"Yang Xian! You are really a talent, and we will give you a promotion after this case is completed. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for promotion!"

Yang Xian instantly knelt down excitedly to thank him.

"By the way, let's show you something."

Zhu Yuanzhang said and handed the packet of white starch given by Zhu Tong to Yang Xian.

Yang Xian took the starch and looked at it carefully, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and asked suspiciously:

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"You don't care about this, now another batch of illegal salt has been bought, but it is adulterated with this substance, and anyone who has come into contact with that batch of refined salt will leave traces."

"We don't need to teach you the rest of the story, do we?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Yang Xian suddenly realized, and immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and hurriedly knelt down and said:

"The minister must quickly find out the black hand behind it in the fastest time, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Yang Xian left the Qianqing Palace to continue investigating the case, and the prince came to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time and asked:

"Father and Emperor Zichen think, is Yang Xian's method too cruel? There's a reason why you can't just kill someone. ”

"Biao'er, you are too merciful, those officials are either corrupt and corrupt and protect each other, or they are lazy and lazy."

"If you don't force them, they will never sincerely serve the court, Yuan Yuan is not only the corruption of the royal family, but the corruption of officials is very bad from the inside out."

"For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded, and the disaster relief funds allocated by Meng Yuan were embezzled by officials at all levels, which led to the people's uprising."

"What a lesson from the past! I have to pay attention. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly.

Only then did Zhu Biao understand his father's foresight, and suddenly felt that he was still not suitable to be an emperor, and he couldn't do such a cruel thing no matter what.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said:

"Father also understands you, you have been kind since you were a child, so it's all good that you lack the spirit of killing."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly explained:

"My father and the eldest brother still have it, in my opinion, the eldest brother is decisive in killing, and the sons are naturally inferior."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly, it didn't look like a difficult target, after all, this kind of thing is innate, and it is not forced to ask for it.

Now the hope is pinned on Tong'er, I hope he won't let us down, and we will test him when we have time.

......

are all transferred to the salt transportation department,

The five officials were walking forward nervously, and one of the young officials led by them must have been pampered and used to it, and his white hands were not flawed and he walked well.

An elderly official reminded:

"Master Li, it's not too early, we have to hurry, otherwise we will all be beheaded."

The officer looked at him contemptuously and said:

"Cut~ I don't believe him, Yang Xiangan kills people casually?"

Another official then admonished:

"My lord, don't you dare to say anything, when Yang Xian was in Yangzhou Mansion, the officials under his command stole a little rice seed to exchange for wine and were directly skinned by him, the scene was extremely cruel."

"Peel! What are you kidding, this is in Yingtianfu, not a small Yangzhou Mansion, as long as he touches me, I will let him die without a place to be buried. ”

Seeing this person say this, the officials on the side are no longer admonishing, anyway, it is the main responsible officials who can't complete the task, and it has nothing to do with them.

There is no need to touch this moldy head, and said that the five officials walked into the yamen of the Salt Transportation Division.

"Yo! It's Li Gongzi.. Phew! Look at my mouth, it should be called 'Master Li'"

An official hurriedly stepped forward to greet the official at the head.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has come to check your department's recent accounts, so I'm going to inform you lords."

"Okay, you can come to the lobby for a while."

The official hurriedly led the five people to sit down in the lobby, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the door, and behind him was an official holding an account book.

"Master Li, all the accounts are here, please check them."

This man was the envoy of the Metropolitan Salt Transport, and as he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the officials to hand over the account books to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

At this moment, the official surnamed Li took all the accounts away.

"Lord Li, it seems that your ministry doesn't have the right to take away the account book of my salt transportation division, right?"

"What? This is on the order of Yang Xian, do you think this official originally intended to bring it! ”

The official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said.

"We can cooperate with your investigation, but we need to issue relevant documents to take away the account book of my transfer to the Salt Transportation Division."

All turned to the salt transportation envoy.

"My lord, we really don't have the authority to take away the ledger, Lord Yang just asked us to come to investigate, and didn't say take it away."

An official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate dissuaded Master Li.

"Let's go!"

An official surnamed Li from the Metropolitan Procuratorate said.

"My lord, but..."

The older official slurred.

"But what is it, the official just leaves."

After that, the official left with all the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and transferred to the Salt Transportation Division.

The envoy of the Duzhuan Salt Transport watched the five people leave, and his face became extremely ugly.

"It's over! Something big is coming! ”

"My lord, it's not like that, isn't it just a, I can't even check the account book, how big a basket can I poke."

An official said.

"Huh! I'm worried about Yang Xian! This person is extremely terrifying, and the gentleman just now is probably going to suffer. ”

"Send someone to communicate with the above!"

Saying that, the envoy quietly sent someone out of the official office.

Feng Guosheng Mansion

An official quietly came to Feng Guosheng's study and reported to Feng Guosheng what had happened in the Salt Transportation Division.

Feng Guosheng stopped the chess pieces in his hand, frowned, looked at the chessboard and said hesitantly:

"It's not good for Yang Xian to do things! However, who would dare to investigate this matter involving a colt? Who would dare to say? ”

"Tell the people below to keep an eye on every move of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and report to me in time."

Li Shanchang's Mansion.

Li Shanchang also received a report from the secret agent to report the situation of the Salt Transportation Division.

"Huh! This time, it's up to you Yang Xian to deal with it! With so many nobles, you will die if you offend any of them, do you think the old man really doesn't know the facts of the case? ”

"Go and find a way to send this news to Li Wenzhong and let him know about it."

The secret agent bowed down to receive the order, and left Li Shanchang's mansion in a blink of an eye.

Metropolitan Inspectorate.

Liu Bowen was looking through the salt production in various time periods, when an official came back to report to him:

"Lord Liu, the accounts of the Salt Transportation Division have not been found."

Liu Bowen was puzzled for a long time and said:

"Yang Xian is in charge of this matter, you should go and report to him, he is still investigating in the west of the city, it is important for you to report this matter directly to him."

"Yes, sir."

After the official finished speaking, he rushed towards where Yang Xian was......
