Gong Xi thinks that he got along with Zheng He quite well in the past, and the military and political affairs have always been well water and not river water!

Today, I suddenly heard that Zheng He had transferred troops into the city without permission, and Gong was shocked to smash a purple clay pot from the hand of a famous teacher, and he was not allowed to change his official uniform, so he had to gather the yamen officials and quickly rushed over.

Who would have thought that as soon as he came over, he would see corpses all over the place!

This kind of scene is rarely recorded in the county annals of Jinmen County, but it happened only during his tenure!

Mobilize troops privately! Kill the people!

Either one, it's a capital offense!

Zheng He is not dead, Gong Xi doesn't care at all, he cares about himself!

This place in Jinmen County, close to Lin'an, is not far away, not close, it is not a place with abundant oil and water, but there is only one advantage, that is, you can make friends with adults who return to Beijing, in the officialdom, someone in the court can say a word or two for you, it is much easier than you to rely on your political achievements to go up!

For civil officials, there may be a ladder here, but for military generals, this place in Jinmen is a bit chicken!

Although Lin'an County can have thousands of soldiers, it seems to be quite powerful, but it is subject to civilian officials in terms of official rank, even if there are many soldiers under its jurisdiction, but it is not subordinate to the forbidden army, and beyond the box army, the militia group, the identity is quite embarrassing, the generals who were sent here, there is a saying in the civil official circle, that is, 'Kanmenqiu Ba'.

Looking at the gate of Lin'an City from afar!

Now that Zheng He is looking for death by himself, he has to implicate him, how can Gong Xi not be angry?

"Explain? Lord Gong, didn't you give the court an explanation? Zheng He asked Gong Xi with a smile.

Compared with Gong Xi's impatience, Zheng He seems too light!

"Ridiculous! You did it privately! You also did it to kill these people, so why should this official give an explanation to the imperial court? Gong happily directly pulled away the official who was blocking him and asked loudly.

He hasn't pursued Zheng He's guilt yet, Zheng He's grandson actually began to reverse right and wrong, and put a hat on his head, which is simply not a son of man!

Zheng He smiled, as if he expected Gong Xi's reaction, and with a light move of his hand, a soldier carried a sack and threw it to Gong Xi and the others.

"Refined salt?"

The fine salt of the white flower fell out of the sack, Gong Xi secretly said in his heart, and his brain began to spin rapidly.

"Master Gong, do you know this thing? This is the treasure trove of these salt rats! ”

"Lord Zheng, this is a bit embarrassing, right? The buying and selling of official salt is allowed by the imperial court, so can a person be characterized as a person who sells illicit salt in disregard of the law and discipline just by relying on a bag of official salt? When he saw this bag of refined salt, Gong Xi probably guessed what the reason was, but at this time, he was still defending others.

The act of selling illicit salt, not to mention the whole Later Qin, is everywhere, but if you want to say that there is no one in the government and one county, no one dares to say this.

The law of the Later Qin Dynasty says: Selling salt in three or two, fighting twenty, selling five catties of salt, two thousand miles, and selling ten catties of salt, beheaded!

It is precisely because of such a strict law that the annual evaluation of officials also examines the crackdown on the sale of illicit salt!

But this kind of thing is basically in a default state, as long as those guys who sell illicit salt, don't go too far, the officials are all turning a blind eye, the money that should be collected, the big sleeves are rolled, no one knows, everyone is fine!

As for the eradication of these salt rats?

Don't be stupid, people run away with salt on their backs, how many salt rats can you catch? When you don't know how to cut it, people come back with salt on their backs!

Who wants to spend this kind of effort on a thankless thing?

Zheng He looked at Gong Xi with a look of cat and mouse.

Wave again.

Another sack was thrown in front of Gong Xi and the others.

This sack of refined salt is pink!

The officials saw this color of refined salt for the first time, and they whispered one after another, but Gong Xi's pupils constricted.

"Sure enough, it's this bunch of salt rats! Lord Zheng, I have made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely ask for credit for Lord Zheng! Gong Xi straightened up, suddenly said righteously and solemnly, and then walked out of the encirclement and ordered the officials behind him: "Don't stand here, immediately cooperate with Lord Zheng's soldiers and horses to arrest this group of salt rats?" ”

When Zheng He heard Gong Xi's words, he laughed.

When there were no servants around, Zheng He sat on a chair and asked Gong Xi with a smile: "Lord Gong, why did you suddenly change your mind?" The truth must be strictly investigated! ”

Zheng He's smile was playful, but Gong Xi had to bear it, and when he was on fire in his heart, he had to put on a smiling face on his face.

Gong Xi waved at Zheng He, Zheng He sat on the chair and did not move, and accepted his salute.

"This time, thanks to Lord Zheng's action, I was able to find out the salt rats in Jinmen, Gong is really ashamed of the parents of the people of Jinmen! I didn't even find this nest of salt rats hidden under my nose. ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Zheng He's eyes, the hypocrisy of the reader is really a set!

Since Gong Xi had already been forced to bow his head, Zheng He didn't want to do that thing, so he waved his hand and retreated all the soldiers.

"Is Ma Gui here familiar?" Only Zheng He and Gong Xi were left in the courtyard, Zheng He finally moved his buttocks, walked to Gong Xi's side and asked.

"No..."

Gong Xi subconsciously wanted to clear up the relationship, and after seeing Zheng He's playful eyes, he immediately changed his tone.

"I still know! I only know that he is a businessman, but as for what he sells, I don't know very well! I've seen it at a few dinners, but it's just familiar! If he knew that he was a salt rat, he would have been taken to prison! ”

Even if he changed his tone, Gong Xi was still dissociating himself and saying in his favor.

"I'm afraid I didn't receive less money from Ma Gui, right?"

Zheng He's unforeshadowed 'knife' directly made Gong Xi's expression change greatly.

"Lord Zheng, you can't talk nonsense! This kind of thing..."

Zheng He raised his hand to stop Gong Xi's words, then pointed to the bag of peach blossom salt on the ground, and said, "Lord Gong, if it's just some refined salt, you can move at most one position!" But with these things, even if you have a hundred mouths, you can't escape the blame! ”

Gong Xi's eyes were solemn.

"By the way, this is only a small part, and there are still 1,800 catties left, do you want Lord Gong to take a look?"

As soon as Zheng He's words came out, Gong jumped up directly on the spot in surprise.

With a frightened look on his face, he asked, "Really?" ”

"Is it necessary to lie to you?" Zheng He asked lightly.

Gong Xi suddenly felt as if someone had his spine removed, and after a while, he trembled slightly.

"Master Zheng, thank you!"

Gong Xi didn't dare not thank him, if it was just some salt rats who sold illicit salt, as Zheng He said, his worst outcome would be to be dismissed if he died!

If he was impeached for selling 1,800 catties of peach blossom salt during his tenure and jurisdiction, would he still be able to keep his head?

The peach blossom salt in the palace, I'm afraid there is no such terrifying amount!

"Master Gong, thank you for that! The matter here in Jinmen, after all, we have to rectify it together! This group of salt rats, but thanks to it, Lord Gong knows how to deal with it, right? There will be a lot of things to trouble Master Gong in the future! ”

Gong Xi's cheeks twitched, forced out a smile, and replied: "Gong understands!" ”

Zheng He smiled, patted Gong Xi's shoulder, and strode out.

The soldiers in the house, after a while, were gone, and at the same time took two carriages with them.

Gong Xi stood in place for a long time, his fist tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally let go of his fist weakly.

Turning around suddenly, he shouted angrily, "Take everyone away!" Dig out all the salt rats to the official, and the official will be strict with the law today! ”
