"Let me thoroughly investigate the national private salt case, and make up the salt tax deficit, you don't have to think about it to know, this must be what the eldest princess meant."

Repeatedly planted in the hands of the eldest princess, Cheng Anhou's face was pale.

In the case of illegal salt, the fifth room of the Lin clan was found, which made His Majesty very angry with the Lin family, but the family branches could not involve him.

The bad thing is that the eldest princess also found out that the Lin family's five rooms 'filial piety' a large amount of silver in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion every year, this silver is the dirty silver for selling private salt, and after the circulation of the 'Jiyazhai' business, the silver is 'laundered'.

The Hou Mansion of Cheng'an received 'dirty silver', who would believe that the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an has nothing to do with private salt?

This 'dirty silver' is ironclad evidence that the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an is suspected of illegal salt.

"Because there is no substantial evidence to prove that the Cheng'an Hou Mansion participated in the profit of the illegal salt, it is impossible to convict the Cheng'an Hou Mansion," Cheng Anhou clenched his fists with both hands and slammed it on the table, "but it is thankless to thoroughly investigate the illegal salt." ”

Fu Anxin also sighed secretly: "The repeated prohibition of illicit salt is not strict, because the profits of private salt are extremely high, along the coast, salt gangsters are rampant, thousands of groups, armed trafficking, local governments, families, and gentry are involved, Your Majesty asked you to thoroughly investigate the country's private salt, in order to make up for the merits, this errand must be done to Your Majesty's satisfaction, if you can't find out some eyebrows, Your Majesty can treat you for the crime of ineffective supervision." ”

"The eldest princess's plan is very vicious, and she wants to take the opportunity to divide your partisan power in the court."

If you find out some eyebrows, you will inevitably offend a large number of people.

I can't find out, and it's not easy for His Majesty to explain.

Cheng'anhou was silent for a moment: "Since the eldest princess has found the Lin family's fifth room and continues to investigate secretly, she will definitely be able to find out the Cheng'anhou Mansion, she is in order to control the situation in Hangzhou County, so half of the illegal salt case has been exposed." ”

Once it is confirmed that the Cheng'an Hou Mansion is involved in smuggling, the scenery of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion will come to an end.

The eldest princess will not be unaware of this.

But for the sake of the people of Xin'an County, he still let go of his personal grievances.

Even he couldn't tell whether it was admiration or rejoicing.

"Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't continue to investigate," Cheng Anhou frowned, "The current situation is not serious enough to be uncontrollable." ”

Fu'an bowed his head and was silent.

"Push some people to come out for the dead, discuss privately with the suspected families, gentry, and officials behind the smuggling, make up a large amount of dirty silver to hand over to the public, spend money to eliminate disasters, and make Your Majesty satisfied, and almost be able to get by, although I have offended a large number of people, and at the same time I have the handle of a large number of officials, so that they can be used by me."

There are pros and cons to this.

Fu'an nodded: "Then ...... over there in Hangzhou County?"

Cheng'an Hou frowned: "Your Majesty sent another official from Dali Temple to find out the actual situation of private salt, Li Taishou and Wang County Order can't keep it, and it will affect officials of all sizes in Zhejiang, and now the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at Cheng'an Houfu, don't act rashly, don't interfere in the affairs of Zhejiang for the time being." ”

Although the Criminal Department is in charge of the world's criminal names, it is actually in charge of the people.

Dali Temple can manage as long as it is a major case.

The officials selected by Dali Temple over the years are all from humble families who are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and with His Majesty as a backer, it is difficult for them to be bought by the family.

Dali Temple is also associated with the Imperial City Division, and the two often cooperate in handling cases.

When it comes to imperial power, no one dares to get involved easily.

Dali Temple is in the hands of His Majesty, which can basically ensure that the officials are clear and clear, and the judiciary is fair.

This is to abandon the Zhejiang officials, and Fu Anxin couldn't help but be nervous: "In this way, the operation of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion in Zhejiang for many years will also be ruined." ”

From the Imperial City Division to the Ministry of War, and then to the Zhejiang Department, the Cheng'an Hou Mansion really suffered heavy losses.

He finally understood why the Hou Ye wanted to get rid of the eldest princess at all costs, and when the eldest princess was there, there would never be a day of peace in the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an.

"By the way," Cheng Anhou was dripping blood in his heart, frowning and asking, "Can the dam destruction in Xin'an County be dealt with?" ”

Wang County's order is still very reliable, but Wang County's order will soon be convicted, and he is worried that Wang County's order is not strong.

"Since the eldest princess was involved in politics, she advocated the construction of water conservancy, so that His Majesty paid more and more attention to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry has gained a lot of sweetness, so the Ministry of Industry has always been in the same breath as the eldest princess."

"Your Majesty sent Wen Yiqian to verify the details of the dam, which is very unfavorable to us, Wen Yiqian is not only from a poor family, but also very pedantic, often with a group of poor students, praise the eldest princess for her benevolence to help the world, and more to govern the world, and respect the eldest princess, is the eldest princess's most loyal support in the court, this person has some means, and will definitely try to get rid of the eldest princess."

Fu'an immediately said: "Master Hou, please rest assured, destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, and harming the people, this is a big crime of being beheaded all over the house, no matter how stupid Wang County's order is, he will not confide in half a sentence, otherwise he will not be able to keep the whole door." ”

To die oneself or the whole family, everyone knows how to choose.

Cheng Anhou was relieved.

"Wait a minute," Cheng'an Hou eased the anxiety in his heart, "When the disaster situation in Xin'an County is reported to Beijing, the news will be released that the dam is not completely repaired due to insufficient maintenance funds, so it was washed away by the flood, pointing the finger at the eldest princess who misled the country and the people......"

The disaster situation in Xin'an County will be difficult to estimate for a while and a half, and before the report has entered Beijing, His Majesty detained the eldest princess in the palace in order to protect the eldest princess and prevent the eldest princess from being affected too much.

But!

As soon as the disaster entered Beijing, he would join forces with the Imperial Historical Observatory and the ministers of the court to impeach the eldest princess and ask His Majesty to remove the eldest princess from being regent in the court.

After instigating the resentment of the people of Hangzhou County, he submitted a letter to 10,000 people to abolish the title of the eldest princess to protect the country.

The eldest princess has provoked the resentment of the people, and His Majesty can't protect her.

Find another suitable time to get rid of her completely.

All the losses of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion are worth it.

When Fu'an thought of the millions of people in Xin'an County and nearby counties, his heart beat wildly.

"Afterwards, I will start Your Majesty and let the three princes go to Xin'an County for disaster relief with Xianzhao," Cheng'an Hou took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face, "The Lin family has been operating in Zhejiang for several generations, and there are many people who raise money and food and medicine for the three princes, and help the three princes do this beautifully. ”

Fu'an hid his trembling hands in his sleeves, and used millions of victims to pave the way for the three princes, and the bad things Hou Ye did in order to fulfill the name of the three princes and achieve the purpose of establishing a prince.

What a madness?

……

The sky was dark, and the rain was falling in front of the steps.

Du Qi hurried to the bottom of the corridor.

The prince stood under the corridor with his hands in his hands, and his tall and straight silhouette was trapped in a dark light and shadow, which became more and more profound.

He glanced down at the letter in his hand, hesitating to step forward.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Yu turned his head.

Du Qi was uneasy, stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and handed over the letter: "Master Hou ordered someone to send an urgent letter, it seems that there is something important." ”
