Zhu Quan admitted it, and he couldn't afford not to admit it.

Zhu Panyan didn't know what was at stake, and said hurriedly, "Father, you are confused, when did our family smuggle?" ”

As he spoke, he blinked his little eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth, treating others as mentally retarded.

"Shut up!" Zhu Quan scolded and looked at Li Qing, "Yes, this king did it, what's the matter?" ”

He's out of the way, isn't it just smuggling?

Can you still cut him?

"Since King Ning has pleaded guilty, then the case is over." The political envoy immediately set the tone, "It's just that selling some goods to go to sea is not a big crime, I don't know what Lord Qincha plans to ......?" ”

Li Qing glanced at the political envoy, "How to judge still needs to consult the emperor, Ben Qin is only responsible for hearing the case." ”

He could see how complicated King Ning's relationship network was.

From the small county magistrate to the political envoy, I am afraid that they have all received benefits from King Ning, this political envoy seems to be fair, but in fact he is speaking for King Ning, and at the same time he is speaking for himself.

It has always been taboo for the emperor to befriend the vassal king, especially for an emperor like Zhu Di, who entered the big sect with a small sect and was once a vassal king, this is intolerable.

Once it reaches Zhu Di's ears, whether it is Zhu Quan or these magistrates, they will be unlucky, especially the officials.

Things have to be done one by one, Li Qing is now entangled in everything, and he has no energy to care about this.

Moreover, once this kind of thing is taken care of, it involves a lot, not to mention him, even Zhu Di has a headache.

Li Qing can handle King Ning, but he can't handle King Ning + Jiang. Western officials, and once King Ning is really moved, what will the other vassal kings do?

It has only been more than 20 years since Jingnan, and a careless, nervous vassal king from all over the country will have a group of demons dancing wildly, and it will be a lot of fun.

"Case closed!" Li Qing was crisp and neat: "The matter of smuggling, Ben Qin will truthfully report to the emperor, and I hope that King Ning will cooperate more during this period." ”

Li Qing never mentioned Zhu Quan's friendship with officials, Zhu Quan's heart gradually let go, and his tone was not as arrogant as before:

"As long as it is a reasonable request, this king will naturally cooperate."

"That's good," Li Qing nodded, "King Ning is a member of the royal family, so he can naturally be spared from prison, but after all, there is a mistake in the first place, and he can't go out for the time being, but it's okay?" ”

"Okay." Zhu Quan readily agreed.

Li Qing smiled and said: "The emperor is kind-hearted, and the sea ban will be opened sooner or later, and he won't be punished too harshly, but ...... He also asked King Ning to stop smuggling immediately. ”

"Yes." Zhu Quan nodded.

Li Qing turned his head to Xiao Li Zi and said, "Immediately check the smuggled goods and count the number as soon as possible." ”

Then, he said to the political envoy: "Please arrange manpower in advance to transport the stolen goods to Beijing at that time." ”

"Lord Qincha is polite, this is the duty of the lower officials." River. The political envoy of Xibu hurriedly arched his hand, and his heart was greatly relaxed, "After the official returns to the palace, he will start to arrange." ”

There are some things, if you don't check your hello, I'm good, and you can't check it.

Li Qing is so 'generous', King Ning and the political envoy naturally want to 'return the favor'.

Everyone gave each other face and was a ball of harmony.

Jin Liu and the others are seven up and eight down, seeing that King Ning is okay like this, but in this way, can they get better?

Li Qing knew what the two of them were thinking, and said to Zhu Quan: "The prince is broad-minded, and he won't embarrass them if he wants to, right?" ”

Zhu Quan glanced at the two of them and snorted, "That's nature." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing said to the two, "You can go back, remember, if you smuggle it before the court opens the sea, you will raid your family and exterminate your family!" ”

The reason why Li Qing helped the two speak was not because they were kind-hearted, but because their smuggling had matured, or rather, formed an industrial chain.

At that time, as soon as the sea ban is opened, direct trade will be possible.

There is no way, the biggest beneficiary of Kaihai can only be these rich and rich gentry, the poor can't do this business, but they can make a little money in the market created by Kaihai.

In fact, Lao Zhu Banhai also has concerns about being afraid that the rich gentry will become bigger!

It's just that he didn't think that even if the rich gentry got the lion's head, the people would be able to improve their lives to a great extent.

At the same time, it can also increase the tax of the Ming Dynasty.

When Jin Liu and the others heard that they could go, they hurriedly kowtowed their heads and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, the grass people remember." ”

Then, he kowtowed to Zhu Quan: "The prince is broad-minded and open-minded......"

"Alright, alright, get out."

Zhu Quan waved his sleeves, and the two rolled numbly.

When the dust settled, everyone left one after another, and in the end, only Li Qing and Zhu Quan remained.

"Yongqing Hou is a good means!" Zhu Quan's expression was indignant, but in fact, it was to cover up the weakness of the officials he had befriended.

Li Qing was very cooperative, and immediately poured bitter water: "Lord Wang, the lower officials are also ordered to run errands, and they can't help themselves......"

Balabala......

"Well, this king will not care about your previous mistakes." Zhu Quan looked generous, and then asked tentatively, "How do you plan to write the emperor's recital?" ”

"Hmm...... The lower officials thought that it was better for you to write it, the prince. Li Qing said with a smile, "If the prince can take the initiative to ask for guilt, the emperor will definitely open up if he wants to come." ”

Seeing that he was so lenient, Zhu Quan showed a smile on his face, "That's fine, this king won't be involved in the smuggling matter anymore, so it's okay to stop this matter?" ”

"Of course." Li Qing nodded, "Xia Guan is old, so he naturally doesn't want to be troubled." ”

"That's very good."

……

The next day, Zhu Quan wrote a letter asking for guilt.

Li Qing didn't even look at it, so he sent people back to Beijing.

Seeing this, Zhu Quan completely believed that Li Qing didn't want to do much, so he put his mind at ease.

Three days later, the inventory of the goods was completed, and dozens of truckloads of smuggled goods were escorted to Jingshi, Li Qing's Jiang. This is the end of the journey to the west.

Then, turn to Fu. Build.

By the time I arrived, it was the end of March.

I haven't seen him for two months, Yu Qian has lost some weight again, and his behavior is becoming less and less like a civilian official, more like a military general.

After a few pleasantries, Yu Qian briefly talked about the progress.

"In other words, now that all the smugglers have been solved, only the smugglers are left, right?" Li Qing asked.

"Yes." Yu Qian nodded: "These robbers and smugglers are completely two types of people, thieves are buying and selling, and robbers are robbing, and there is an essential difference. ”

"Have you figured out where they're stationed?"

Yu Qian shook his head: "I thought that they would take the initiative to attack and wait for the officials to work, but unexpectedly, they ......"

"But they've been holding back, aren't they?"

"Hmm." Yu Qian's expression was solemn, "The lower officials suspect that someone is told." ”

"There is no doubt that someone is appointed." Li Qing sneered, "You don't need an official to do this, this official will handle it." ”

"Yes." Yu Qian arched his hand, "Then do you want to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang first?" ”

Li Qing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, just rest here, let's go together when the time comes." ”

"Lord Shangshu, the emperor only gave us half a year." Yu Qian reminded, "It's almost half past now, the thieves are so clear, the robbers are difficult to suppress, plus the time wasted on the road ......"

"Don't worry, it's not difficult to clean up the pirates." Li Qing was quite confident, "I don't even need you and me to go out." ”

Yu Qian was skeptical, "Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, what is the clever plan?" ”

"Is this enough?" Li Qing took out "As I Come" and put it on the table.

Yu Qian hurriedly made a big salute, and then said: "Enough, you can transfer troops, but ...... No information? ”

"Yes." Li Qing said with a smile, "You go and take a trip, call the political envoy and the commander, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Yu Qian didn't know what to do, so he did as he said.

……

Yu Qian is very efficient, and after five days, Fu. Jianbu political envoys and commanders rushed together.

"Weichen Yang Qing (Liu Hai) respectfully invites St. Ann."

"St. Bow." Li Qing replied very highly, "Two of you, please get up." ”

The two of them got up and said, "I've seen Lord Qincha." ”

"Well, sit down."

With a simple and polite sentence, Li Qing got to the point, "This official came this time mainly to clean up the Japanese bandits. ”

After a pause, his tone became serious, "The emperor heard that Fu. Build a coastal area to make trouble, but the thunder is angry! ”

The two of them felt a pang in their hearts, and hurriedly arched their hands and said: "The subordinate is guilty of negligence." ”

"Is it just a crime of negligence?" Li Qing's voice suddenly turned cold: "Sit back and watch the robbing of the Japanese invaders, causing the people to be persecuted, and even the family is ruined, and the crime of negligence can be dismissed?" ”

"One of you is the highest civilian official, and the other is the highest military official, look at you, what are you doing?" Li Qing sneered:

"Thieves smuggle! Bandits are rampant!

Good fortune. has built such a big thing, if you don't kill you, where is the reason of heaven!? ”

"Huh?"

The two of them were horrified, and at the same time, they felt resentful, this is too high-end, right?

"Not convinced, huh?" Li Qing sneered.

"The lower officials don't dare." The two didn't dare to talk back, but they were really unconvinced.

They are all members of a province, even if they are really on the line, they are not enough to kill their heads!

But soon they were convinced.

I only heard Li Qing say lightly: "In the eighteenth year of Yongle, Tang Sai'er rebelled, and the mountain. Dongbu political envoy, political participation, senatory, according to the procurator, according to the deputy envoy, the secretary...... Executed for connivance and omission!

To accept or not to accept?!

Wherever the traitors went, the officials were beheaded!

To accept or not to accept?! ”

Li Qing's eyes were cold, and his tone was cold: "Or do you think the emperor has sentenced him heavily?" ”

"Down... No, no...... Can't! ”

The two of them had cold hands and feet, and they were trembling with fear, and it had only been a few years since this happened, and of course they remembered it.

At that time, they were still gloating, but they didn't expect that one day it would be their turn.

At this moment, the two of them were frightened.

The sweat on his forehead was dripping down, and his body was shaking like chaff.

Li Qing took out "If I Am Coming": "Open your eyes and see, what is this?" ”

The eyes of the two widened, and the four words were like a talisman, and their faces turned green when they landed.

The role of this gold medal is no less than the royal flag, and at this moment, the two really believe that Li Qing is here to kill them.

"My lord spares his life, and the emperor spares his life......!"

The voices of the two trembled, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Yu Qian is stupid, this Shangshu ...... It's too barbaric, right?

But...... It's so cool!
