Qianlong threw the account book back to He Yan, and saw that He Yan took it and said, "Just give me this account book and continue to check." ”

He Yan said: "Yes." ”

Qianlong said: "It's okay, step down." ”

He Yan said: "Report to the emperor, the minister has something else to do." ”

Qianlong said: "What's the matter? ”

He Yan said: "Your Majesty, the salt introduction of the two Huai salt affairs is about to be distributed today, and the minister has an idea. ”

"Because the salt affairs are important and should not be moved lightly, for fear of hurting the lifeblood of the imperial court's money and grain, the minister has not made any major moves to punish salt merchants and salt officials who sell illegal salt."

"But the minister has been investigating, and the minister basically knows who it is."

"Therefore, the minister thought, since we can't deal with them directly, otherwise it will be out of control, then first reduce the salt merchants who sold illegal salt last year, when the salt is divided this year, by half."

"If they still dare to sell illicit salt this year, then they won't be given any salt next year."

"And when the salt trade begins in the next year, they will be punished for the crime of selling illicit salt, and they will be punished with the confiscation of all their property, and they will be put to death or exiled."

"In this way, the two Huai salt affairs that will not be killed at once can be vacant, and the two Huai salt policies can be rectified."

Qianlong thought for a moment and said, "Accurate." ”

He Yan said: "Yes." ”

"Wechen retired."

He Yan took the account book and left Gaomin Temple, and then on the way back to the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard, he opened it to see that the account book was tied, and saw that there was a folded paper inside, and when he opened it, it turned out to be Lu Degong's secret decree.

He Yan put it away after reading it once.

He Yan has always disliked Lu Degong, he is always a person with a weird yin and yang, and it is just what he wants to take him down.

The next day, the emperor left Yangzhou.

He Yan and others sent off the emperor at the dock.

As soon as the emperor left, He Yan called Wang Chaozong and showed him the secret decree.

After Wang Chaozong saw it, he said, "This Lord Lu can't be saved." ”

He Yan said: "That's right. ”

"In order to prevent leakage of news, you can send someone to keep an eye on Lu Degong's people, and then I will arrest him."

"Okay." Wang Chaozong agreed, and then he began to act.

A few days later, Lu Degong's subordinate Yu Lin was arrested.

After He Yan interrogated him, he determined that there was absolutely no problem in arresting Lu Degong, and immediately asked people to call Lu Degong over.

Lu Degong walked into the lobby of the salt courtyard and saw a prisoner kneeling on the ground.

Before Lu Degong could speak, the prisoner immediately said when he saw Lu Degong: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu save me." ”

Lu Degong looked at this person's appearance when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "Yu Lin? ”

After speaking, Lu Degong looked at He Yan in surprise.

He Yan said: "Let's talk about why I arrested you." ”

Yu Lin said: "The small one has a mortgage in his hometown, forcing people to repay the money, causing serious injuries. ”

When Lu Degong heard this, he said angrily to Yu Lin: "Bold slave, you actually went behind my back and did such a hurtful thing. ”

He Yan said: "How much does this Boss Chen owe you, and you have such a heavy hand?" ”

Yu Lin said: "Two hundred taels." ”

He Yan said: "Two hundred taels, a lot." ”

"How much do you get paid each year in the Salt Transportation Division?"

Yu Lin said: "The annual salary of the small one is sixty taels. ”

"Sixty hundreds."

He Yan said: "You are a house slave, your salary this year is not small." ”

"But with your salary, you dare to lend, and it is two hundred taels to repay the loan, which means that your family is very rich?"

Yu Lin said tremblingly: "Villain, villain comes from a humble background, and his family background is not thick. ”

He Yan said: "Master He, it is confiscated every year, his family background. ”

Master He picked up the account book and read: "When He went to Changshu to arrest him, he found out that Yulin had a total of 750 acres of fertile land, 8,432 taels of silver, a golden Buddha, calligraphy and painting, and silk, which is equivalent to 5,619 taels of silver. ”jújíá?y.?? m

"According to seven taels per mu of fertile land, a total of 19,301 taels of silver."

He Yan said: "Nineteen thousand three hundred and one taels, even if you don't eat or drink, then you have to work for nearly three hundred years." ”

"Tell me, where did all this money come from?"

When Lu Degong heard this, he scolded Lin: "Hateful. ”

"I usually treat you bitterly, but I didn't expect that you pretended to be public and private, guarded and stolen, and filled your pockets."

"If you don't make it clear to me today, I won't be able to spare you."

Yu Lin said: "Lord A, Lord Ada, the little one has followed Lord Lu for more than ten years, and has accepted countless office silver and miscellaneous expenses from salt merchants. ”

"Repeated expenditures and fraudulent claims in the transportation warehouse."

"Also, there are millions of taels of money collected and withdrawn over the years, and when the small amount of money for the construction of the Hongze Lake cofferdam and the relief funds for the victims of the disaster are distributed, the figures are falsely reported and the ......amount is deducted from them."

Lu Degong was furious when he heard this: "You are so bold! ”

"Come on, drag it out and cut it."

He Yan said: "Master Lu, don't worry, listen to him." ”

"Yu Lin, according to the law of the Qing Dynasty, with the number of your greedy ink, it will not be more than ten times to kill you."

"But the official is willing to give you a chance to atone for your crimes, as long as you can report your accomplices, the official can give you a lenient punishment as appropriate."

When Yu Lin heard this, he kowtowed excitedly and said, "The adults spare their lives, the adults spare their lives, and the little ones do all these things, all of which are acquiesced by Lord Lu." ”

When Lu Degong heard this, he hurriedly said: "You, you shut up!" ”

"You mad dog, above this lobby, you dare to jump over the wall and spew blood."

Speaking of which, he pointed to the official and said, "What are you still looking at?" ”

He Yan said: "Master Lu, don't worry, I will interrogate clearly, and I will not wronged a good person, don't worry." ”

"You sit down first, dissipate your anger, you are the leader of Confucianism, you can't be angry with this kind of person."

Yu Lin heard it and said loudly: "Phew, he is the leader of Confucianism, and he will pretend to hold it every time, in fact, he is the most greedy." ”

"Ah-sama, Ah-sama, he has a rule. Give him money so that he may not see it. ”

"Every time the salt merchants and officials gave him silver, they put it in a vegetable basket and put it in the wine jar, and let the porter bring it in."

"He also stipulates that one thousand taels meet two thousand taels for dinner, and three thousand taels for archery......"

Lu Degong was completely angry when he heard this, and when he went up, he kicked Yu Lin and said, "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!" ”

Yu Lin was kicked and shouted: "Ah Da, Ah Da people! ”

When Lu Degong finished kicking, he grabbed his neck by the collar, and raised it like crazy: "You get up for me, you talk nonsense, you talk nonsense, you get up for me!" ”

"You tell them, you're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"

Yu Lin lay on the ground and shouted: "Lord A, save me!" ”

Lu Degong didn't give up and said, "You speak, you!" ”

"You get up for me, get up for me!"

He Yan said: "Lord Lu, are you tired?" ”

Lu Degong stopped as soon as he heard He Yan's words.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
