Chapter 297

Zhang Juzheng and the others were sitting in the office room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate reading a book. A fourth-rank official came to talk to them. Zhang Juzheng knew him and was from his hometown.

"What's wrong with you, what happened?" Zhang Juzheng stood up and asked in confusion.

"Zhang Hao, just served as the commander of Jinyiwei. Last night, Lu Bing was arrested. You and Zhang Hao are so familiar, why don't you go to congratulate them?" The official looked at the two of them and asked.

"Oh? You became a commander? This?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the official in surprise at the moment, and then looked at Hu Zongxian.

"You don't want to congratulate. Now many officials want to climb this high branch, but they can't. We all know that once Zhang Hao investigates corruption, he will be sure of it. You say those officials, who is not afraid?" The official still said with a smile.

"We are not in a hurry to congratulate. Marquis Lu An knows who we are, and we also know how Marquis Lu An is. These vain things are useless. Now we are waiting for Marquis Lu An to summon us. Then we have to go on errands!" Zhang Juzheng immediately confronted said the official.

"Hey, you two are more comfortable. Standing behind is Lu Anhou. Although you are not high-ranking now, your future road will be open and open. How comfortable is this?" the official said with emotion.

"It's not as good as you said, we still need to do things, but we don't want to do corruption, and we don't bother to do it, so Lu Anhou let us two be by his side!" Hu Zongxian Also said with a smile.

"That's true!" The official said with a smile, and then asked Zhang Juzheng, "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

"I don't dare to agree to this. Now the two of us need to wait here. There will be something going on with Marquis Lu An at any time!" Zhang Juzheng immediately waved his hand and said,

At this time, a Jin Yiwei came over, and immediately said to Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian: "Master Zhang, Master Hu, our commander told you to wait for him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate after lunch, and you have to run errands in the afternoon." !"

"Oh, good!" the two of them said immediately, clasping their hands together.

"Let's take it with you, I'll take my leave first!" the Jin Yiwei said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Go slowly!" Hu Zongxian said hastily cupping his hands, and then the Jin Yiwei left,

And Zhang Juzheng immediately looked at the official with an apologetic face and said, "Look, we need to be on call, there is no way!"

"Okay, let's talk about it after you finish your work. We, you fellow villagers, have always wanted to have a meal with you. If you have time, let's talk about it in advance!" The official immediately said with a smile,

Now I dare not be dissatisfied, although my current level is much higher than that of Zhang Juzheng, but with Zhang Juzheng's current position, and with Zhang Hao's help, he may soar into the sky at any time,
Besides, if he dared to be dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng, when Zhang Juzheng said a few words in front of Zhang Hao, he would go to Jinyiwei Prison, that would be fatal.

And after Zhang Hao finished his lunch, he returned to Jinyiwei's office and asked them to prepare the account books. After he needed to check the accounts, Zhang Hao left. There was no other way. The emperor urged him several times. , If I don't think about it, I will be in trouble. Soon, Zhang Hao arrived at the household department, and Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian were also waiting at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"I said, what are you two doing here?" Zhang Hao asked after seeing them.

"My lord, there's no need to be so troublesome. There will be sun here, and it's comfortable to bask in, so we didn't go in and wait here for your lord!" Hu Zongxian said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, let's go!" Zhang Hao nodded, and walked straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Once inside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Hao went to find Zuodu Censor Zhou Yan.

"Go and call Xunyan Yushi to come over, I have something to do with him!" Zhang Hao said to Zhou Yan.

"Well, do you really want to investigate the matter of Yantie Tea?" Zhou Yan asked Zhang Hao after hearing this.

"Hey, there is no way, it's not like you don't know, the emperor forced me to do it, and I don't want to investigate!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there, looking at Zhou Yan helplessly.

"Marquis Lu An, you have to be careful. The two pieces of salt and iron have involved a lot of people, even the feudal lords, including many ministers. This investigation, if it cannot be thoroughly investigated, is useless. If it is thoroughly investigated, At that time, I don’t know how many people will be offended, I know that the emperor asked you to investigate, but you still need to be careful!” Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Hao and reminded.

"Huh? Master Zhou, can you enlighten me?" Zhang Hao sat up straight when he heard this, looked at Zhou Yan and said.

"I don't dare to teach you, I just said, hey, I have been the censor for so many years, there are three things I dare not touch, one is about Jin Yiwei, one is about the feudal king, and the other is about honors!" Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Hao said.

"No, the three things you mentioned have nothing to do with this, eh~!" Zhang Hao just wanted to say that it had nothing to do with it, but he immediately understood that the two items of salt and iron may involve these people, even Jin Yiwei.

"Lu Anhou, if the investigation is really thorough, unless the emperor has made up his mind, please be cautious!" Zhou Yan continued to remind Zhang Hao,

Zhang Hao heard it, nodded, then sat there thinking for a while and said: "You should call Xunyan Yushi over, I want to see him!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yan nodded, then stood up, arrived at the door, and sent someone to inform Chen Chongqi, the censor of Yanyan. When Chen Chongqi learned that Zhang Hao was looking for him, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that Zhang Hao would start to investigate this matter. Yes, took a few deep breaths, and started to walk towards Zhang Hao's office room. After arriving at the office room, Chen Chongqi saw Zhang Hao sitting on it, and Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian were sitting beside them, readying pens, ink, paper and inkstone, It's time to record.

"I met Marquis Lu An!" Chen Chongqi came over and said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, sit down!" Zhang Hao nodded, motioning for him to sit down.

"Yes, my lord, my lord must want to know about the salt, I know everything I can say, my lord, please ask by the way!" After sitting down, Chen Chongqi cupped his hands to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, since you've said that, I'm not being polite!" Zhang Hao asked, looking at Chen Chongqi with a smile.

"My lord, please tell me!" Chen Chongqi still looked at Zhang Hao with a smile on his face and said.

"How much money have you been corrupted?" Zhang Hao asked just now, and the smile on Chen Chongqi's face hadn't disappeared yet. At this moment, he looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded.

"Tell me, how much has been corrupted?" Zhang Hao asked while looking at Chen Chongqi with a smile.

"Marquis Lu An, don't scare me. Our censor is Qingshui Yamen, where is there corruption?" Chen Chongqi reacted at this moment, and immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Don't say it? I thought you were so honest, but it's boring not to say it!" Zhang Hao said without interest as he lay down on the back.Lu Anhou, this, I don't know who slandered you! "Chen Chongqi cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, read it to him!" Zhang Hao took out a document and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng took it, opened the document, and began to read.

"In the winter of the 22nd year of Jiajing, Chen Chongqi served as the inspector censor, and gave Xia Yan 5 taels of money. In the spring of Jiajing 23, he received 20 taels from a Shanxi salt merchant. Build a house for Yan Song's hometown" Zhang Ju was thinking there,

And Chen Chongqi knelt down at this moment, it would be impossible not to kneel down, who gave him money, and who he gave money to, all of them were registered very clearly, and you couldn't argue even if you wanted to.

"Yes, I have served as the Xunyan censor for less than 8 years. I have been corrupted for more than 350 million vehicles, and I also sent 30 taels of money to Lu Bing. You can do it, and you can do things. No wonder you are so stable!" Zhang Hao Looking at Chen Chongqi with a smile, he said.

"My lord, I, I!" Chen Chongqi didn't know how to defend himself at this moment.

"You write the indictment yourself, or let us interrogate!" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at Chen Chongqi and asked.

"My lord, I, I!" Chen Chongqi never dreamed that he would be found out on the first day, and he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

"Master Zhou, I would like to appoint Hu Zongxian to be the censor of salt inspection temporarily, is that okay?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Yan and asked.

"This, should the emperor appoint you?" Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Don't ask, I won't ask any more, just appoint him, and you play the memorial!" Zhang Hao said to Zhou Yan.

"Well, it's fine, the emperor doesn't know if he approves it or not!" Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said, Zhang Hao heard it and felt indifferent.

"Okay, come here, take it away!" Zhang Hao shouted to the outside, and then said to Zhang Juzheng and the others: "Go, go to Jin Yiwei, the interrogation is about to begin!"

"Yes, my lord!" said the two of them at once, clasping hands together,
At this moment, in Chen Chongqi's house, Jin Yiwei has already surrounded his house. To solve this problem so quickly, it still depends on Lu Bing. These materials were all sorted out by Lu Bing before, but for some reason, he has not been killed. Zhang Hao is now cheaper.

But Chen Chongqi had just been investigated, and the news spread to the cabinet. When Lu Ben and Yan Song heard it, they felt a little bit in their hearts. Chen Chongqi was taken away like this, and he was taken away. If it is exposed at that time, then he will be in trouble what!
"How could Zhang Hao take Chen Chongqi away so easily?" Yan Song sat there, feeling very worried.

"An inspector censor does not need His Majesty's consent, right? After inspecting the salt censor, the salt merchants below will be panicked immediately, and it will cause turmoil in the market!" Lu Ben also said anxiously to Xu Jie , Xu Jie also became worried. Now that he has arrested the Xunyan Yushi, it will really cause turmoil. At that time, there will be a shortage of salt in the market!
