Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1447 The Salt Case

At sunset and dusk, Ye Yaoguang met Luo Peihan's husband and wife Mu Fang. Because of Luo Peihan's words, Ye Yaoguang saw the faces of the couple for the first time. Neither of them was a villain. People who have luck, twists and turns in middle age, and good luck in their later years, Mu Fang's wife, Lan Shi, is a long-lived person.

Wen Youyou introduced Mu Fang to Wen Tingzhan, but did not reveal Wen Tingzhan's identity, he only said that he was an old friend named Liu and the only son in the family, so Mu Fang called Wen Tingzhan Master Liu and Ye Yaoguang Mrs. Liu.

During the close contact, Ye Yaoguang also noticed that the husband and wife did not have any unclean aura.That is, they have not been in contact with unclean things all year round.There are no ghosts and ghosts in their house, which also proves why Ye Yaoguang's talisman is ineffective.

After dinner, when everyone was sitting in the yard watching the moon and chatting, Luo Peihan looked at Lan's apologetically: "Sister Lan, I'm very sorry, I told sister Zhuohua about the strange things in your family, Sister Zhuohua has someone who understands spells in her ancestors, and Sister Zhuohua is also well-informed, I can guarantee this, and I hope Sister Zhuohua can solve Sister Lan's troubles."

"You are also kind." Lan's character is very straightforward, "Actually, there are not many people in Yuhang who don't know about this matter. After a little inquiring, you can't hide it. Don't take it to your heart. I am grateful for your return." Too late."

After all, their family has invited people to do it several times, and this kind of thing can't be concealed from people who are interested.

Luo Peihan smiled briskly before looking sideways at Ye Yaoguang: "Sister Zhuohua, do you have something to say to Sister Lan?"

Facing Luo Peihan who looked forward to him, Ye Yaoguang smiled and shook his head.

The lost light in Lan's eyes flashed away, and he smiled immediately: "Mid-Autumn Festival, let's not talk about disappointing things, come and eat moon cakes. The moon cakes I brought today are a specialty of Sichuan. The place is different."

It diverted everyone's attention all of a sudden, and they didn't talk for long, and they probably dispersed after a while.Although we all know that it is not easy for Mufang and his wife to rest at this time, they can't just stay up until dawn because of this incident. Mufang and his wife don't need such sympathy and help, and they can always spend like this in the middle of every month.

After Ye Yaoguang returned to the room to take a shower and changed into light pajamas, instead of going to bed, he brought the chessboard with great interest: "I haven't played chess with Ah Zhan for a long time, and tonight, taking advantage of the darkness, we play chess with you." How about a talk?"

"It's so rare to be invited by Madam. It's a beautiful day, the flowers are full and the moon is full, and the beauty is with you. How can you refuse?" Wen Tingzhan sat gracefully by the window. Their window was on the west side, and they happened to see the time move west after midnight. of a full moon.

There is a wisp of thin cloud floating on the lower edge of the moon, as if a fairy from the Moon Palace may come on the moon at any time, illuminating the distant night sky very brightly, and the fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in full bloom outside the window is indeed a good sight night.

Ye Yaoguang pointed to the black chess piece first, and after writing the words, Ye Yaoguang raised his head and looked at Wen Tingzhan: "You have been nesting in the study with mosquitoes all day long, what are you plotting?"

Wen Tingzhan has become accustomed to his wife's wording, and smiled helplessly: "The matter of letting the mosquitoes check has some clues."

"What about Shan Jiu's resignation?" Ye Yaoguang raised his eyebrows without thinking, "Tell me."

"Salt." Wen Tingzhan also dropped his breath, uttering a word lightly.

"Salt?" Ye Yaoguang has never eaten pork, but has seen pigs run away. There are few people who tampered with the salt road throughout the ages?The salt case happened in almost all dynasties, because this thing is indispensable to the whole world. "Someone tampered with the salt?"

"Your Majesty received a tip-off that the salt merchants in Hangzhou were extravagant, fawning over the salt government, bribing salt transport envoys, and owed millions of taels of silver in salt taxes." Wen Tingzhan said here, although his tone did not change, but he shook his head carefully. However, Guang's voice was a little clearer than before, and it could be seen that he had increased his strength, "Your Majesty dispatched imperial envoys here, but it was found that the Salt Transport Envoy was just and honest."

"Illusion?" Ye Yao lightened his hands.

Since His Majesty sent an imperial envoy, if the Salt Transport Envoy creates such a false impression, then there is only one possibility. Someone leaked the news in advance, but since His Majesty is an imperial envoy, even Wen Tingzhan has not received the news. Work should be done well.That's not because the news was leaked in advance, it's only possible that the imperial envoy and the salt transport envoy colluded!

"Your Majesty doesn't know if it's true or not, and I don't know either." Wen Tingzhan shook his head, "Your Majesty sent Shan Jiuci to investigate because of doubts in his heart."

"Shan Jiuci was investigated and the evidence was captured, but he also exposed himself." Ye Yaoguang concluded.

"En." Wen Tingzhan nodded.

Ye Yaoguang's face was serious: "Ah Zhan, this is not an ordinary thing. Shan Jiuci's scheme and ability have been forced to this point. Think about it, if this salt transport envoy is a really honest official, then there is absolutely no way to deal with it." There may be salt merchants who owe salt tax under his nose. As far as I know, the current salt transport envoy should have been in office for four years. Salt tax accounts for [-]% of the imperial court's tax revenue. What a huge income. But if he is a fake official , The people behind this are at the same level as King Nanjiu, and even more complicated than King Nanjiu's affairs, the territory of military officers will never be as terrible as the circle of civil servants."

Real swords and guns are nothing, and the military officer will not form gangs in order to avoid suspicion.Civil servants are different. If they have similar interests, they are all close friends.The two Huaihe salt transport envoys started from Shandong in the north and went to Zhejiang in the south.How many officials are involved in this circle?

His Majesty can dispatch imperial envoys in secret, and the salt transport envoys in the back can make the illusion of being fair and honest, and polish all the dirty places. This kind of contacts, this eyeliner, I am afraid that Wen Tingzhan may not be able to do it today.

"Don't worry, even if I want to uproot this matter, His Majesty will not allow it." Wen Tingzhan chuckled, with some mockery in his smile, "I have been ill for a long time and need to be reformed urgently. This is not what you predicted by the teacher back then. The hexagram? The two Huaihe Rivers involve far more than Jiangnan. If His Majesty wants to be serious, he will not know the secret sect. The reason for the secret sect is to have a bottom line in his heart. Kill what should be killed, and keep it if you can’t. Let Shirui take care of it in the future, otherwise I'm afraid the foundation of the country will be shaken."

"But they don't even want to give His Majesty the truth." Ye Yaoguang looked at Wen Tingzhan and said, "If they find out that His Majesty sent someone to investigate, they throw out one or two people to appease His Majesty, that's okay. It's over, but they regard His Majesty as a fool, not only is he round and beautiful, but now he has forced Shan Jiuci to this point, which is trampling on His Majesty's face."
