Daming reckless man

Chapter 298 You Hurry Up and Confess
Chapter 298

Xu Jie was also very anxious. He didn't know what Zhang Hao was thinking. Why did he arrest Xunyan Yushi in the first place?For such a big matter, I don't discuss it with the cabinet. Let the cabinet have a plan. What should I do if there is a salt shortage?

"No, the old man is going to Jinyiwei!" Xu Jie couldn't sit still, he needed to remind Zhang Hao of this matter, so that Zhang Hao could prepare in advance.

"I said Master Xu, are you going to tell Zhang Hao now? Is it useful? Let's think about the panic of those ministers now, right? Zhang Hao is the commander of Jinyiwei. On the first day he took office, he arrested people, or arrested a salt inspector! "Yan Song sat there, stopped Xu Jie and said.

"That's what I said, but I still need to be reminded. Otherwise, if there is chaos at that time, our cabinet will be in trouble, right? As for the worries of the ministers, eh, worrying is useless, and we will investigate if we need to!" Xu Jie thought about it, then said to Yan Song with a sigh,

At this time, Zhou Yan, the censor of Zuodu, came over with a memorial.

"I've seen the three elders!" Zhou Yan said immediately after he came over.

"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Ben looked at Zhou Yan and asked.

"I posted a memorial, which was written by Lu An Hourang, saying that he recommended Hu Zongxian as the censor of salt inspection, and it will be handed over to the emperor for approval!" Zhou Yan said and handed the memorial to Lu Ben,
Lu Ben heard it, looked at the two of them, then unfolded the memorial and read it. After reading it, he gave the memorial to Yan Song, and then said very dissatisfied: "When did Zhang Hao start arranging officials in the court? Not Minister of the Ministry of Officials, nor Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, right? It is inappropriate for someone who has never been in charge of such an important position to be entrusted to such an important position as the inspector of salt and censor!"

"Well, it's not appropriate. At this time, we still need to select people from the transfer salt envoys below. After all, don't they understand?" Yan Song also took the topic and said.

"That's what I said, but Marquis Lu An requested such a copy. I was only responsible for writing the memorial. As for whether to approve or not, it is a matter for your cabinet and the emperor, hey!" Zhou Yan said helplessly.

Yan Song and Lu Ben heard this, exchanged glances, and then looked at Xu Jie.

"I have no objection, let the emperor decide!" Xu Jie also said, they want to make themselves stand out, so they will definitely not do it. Anyway, Zhang Hao is his son-in-law, so he can't demolish his son-in-law, even though this The son-in-law often dismantles his platform, but there is no way, he is an elder.

"Hey!" Lu Ben sighed. If Lu Ben were to be detained, he would definitely not dare. He was also afraid that Zhang Hao would cause trouble for him. Now that Zhang Hao is the commander of Jinyiwei, he must have his own things in his hands. If you catch yourself, you will be in trouble.

"What do you think about this matter, Mr. Yan Ge?" Lu Ben looked at Yan Song while talking.

"It's better to give it to the emperor, let the emperor decide!" Yan Song didn't dare to block this memorial, he couldn't afford to provoke Zhang Hao, but he was on Zhang Hao's side.

Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian are currently interrogating Chen Chongqi. Chen Chongqi has remained silent until he saw his family members and they were all taken into the cell. He was completely dumbfounded.

"Lu Anhou, the old man's corruption has nothing to do with them, why are you arresting them?" Chen Chongqi shouted very excitedly.

"Are you kidding, it has nothing to do with them? Except for those ignorant children, you say, what they wear is not your corrupt money, or else, your salary is enough? Before you became an official, the family You don’t know what the conditions are, and you still want me to remind you, don’t you? You hurry up and make those things clear, otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel!” Zhang Hao sat there, looked at Chen Chongqi and said sternly.

"Hmph. This old man doesn't know anything. Since you, Jin Yiwei, have found the evidence, then you will kill this old man!" Chen Chongqi said very proudly,
He has to do this now, otherwise he can’t do it, if he says everything, whoever outside will save him, he thinks, Yan Song and Lu Ben will definitely come to save him, and he will honor them every year, If they really don't care, then they will be in trouble themselves.

"Don't tell me, do you think that Yan Song and Lu Ben will come to rescue you, or that the people from the clan in Shanxi will come to rescue you? Otherwise, how about I take you to see Yan Song? You see Yan Song dare to face me May I intercede for you?" Zhang Hao looked at Chen Chongqi and said,
Chen Chongqi turned his head and said nothing,

Zhang Hao didn't want to talk to him either, but let them continue to interrogate Chen Chongqi, and he needed to go to King Jin's mansion,
King Jin is also very anxious these days. He has now received replies from three vassals, all of whom are nearby. Their opinions are all unified, and they can be fined. It is said that it will be deducted from the regular money. If this opening is opened, it will be troublesome at that time.
Therefore, King Jin is also very irritable now. He clearly knows that Jiajing is going to open this hole, but the other vassal kings disagree, and he has nothing to do.

"My lord! My lord! Marquis Lu An is here!" A servant came to Zhu Xintong's side and cupped his hands.

"Zhang Hao is here, hurry up, please!" Zhu Xinfan stood up quickly when he heard this, and he became even more anxious. He knew that Zhang Hao was here to remind him. If he doesn't agree today, he needs to find an excuse!

Soon, Zhang Hao arrived at the living room, saw Zhu Xinpan, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Well, congratulations to Marquis Lu An, now you are the commander of Jinyiwei, and you have more power in your hands. I heard that you still want to investigate the matter of Yantiecha?" Zhu Xinyu immediately returned the salute to Zhang Hao, and then asked Zhang Hao.

"No, hey, annoying, you don't know how many things I have to do, the emperor let me do it if I have nothing to do, do you think I can finish it? His Royal Highness, you are the least important thing, I want to do it first Let's talk about other things after finishing your matter, I can delay as long as I can!" Zhang Hao said with a helpless wry smile.

"I said Marquis Lu An, my business is not small, look at it, procrastinate?" Zhu Xinpan clasped his hands to Zhang Hao as soon as he heard it.

"Are you sure you want to procrastinate?" Zhang Hao asked, looking at Lu Anhou in surprise.

"Here, is there any way to explain it? Please enlighten me!" Zhu Xinfan looked at Zhang Hao's expression and was a little uncertain, so he clasped his fists at Zhang Hao and said.

"His Royal Highness Jin, you just asked me to investigate the matter of Yantiecha, right? Do you know who I arrested this afternoon?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinyu and asked.

"Who? Who offended you, Marquis Lu An?" Zhu Xinfan immediately asked.

"Censor Chen Chongqi!" When Zhang Hao said these words, he was staring at King Jin,

King Jin's heart skipped a beat. Chen Chongqi was arrested, and he gave him a lot of gifts. If he found out, it would be troublesome. You know, those salt merchants in Shanxi are all inextricably linked to him. At that time, he will definitely find out on his own head.

"Here, caught?" Jin Wang looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I caught it and said everything. You said you want me to help you delay? There is no problem on my side. At that time, the matter will be bigger, and it will not be solved by this amount of money and this way. Your Highness Jin Wang, you want Think carefully!" Zhang Hao looked at King Jin and asked in a low voice.

"This?" Zhu Xinfan knew that Zhang Hao was threatening him, but he was also reminding himself that if he disagreed, he might not have such an opportunity.

"The emperor is very dissatisfied with the matter of salt and iron. That's why I started to investigate this matter just after I became the commander. I don't need to say more about the salt merchants and iron merchants in Shanxi? If those people and you It doesn't matter, I will look down on you, this is the fastest money, if your Royal Highness King Jin can't divide it, how can you do it?" Zhang Hao sat there, looked at King Jin with a smile and said.

"Lu Anhou was joking, joking, we never get involved in these things!" King Jin waved his hand quickly and said,
And Zhang Hao just looked at him and smiled, the members of the Wu family are still in the prison, and King Jin actually said it doesn't matter, isn't this talking nonsense?

"Here, Marquis Lu An, you can't keep checking like this, it's almost enough, if you force those salt merchants too hard, there will be troubles then!" Zhu Xinpan looked at Zhang Hao and reminded.

"What's going on? It's nothing more than lack of salt. I know this, but I don't dare them!" Zhang Hao said with a smile while sitting there.

"Why don't you dare, what if they die and the net breaks?" Zhu Xinpan said to Zhang Hao quickly.

"They don't have the ability, hey, His Royal Highness, what do you mean here? Are you going to tell the emperor yourself, or let me tell the emperor, I have already interceded for you, if you continue like this, Then you can talk about it yourself!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinyu and asked helplessly,

I looked at my father's face and gave him a reminder, don't continue to stand up, I can't stand it anymore, Jiajing just cleaned up those vassal kings, wanted to reduce court expenses, and at the same time sort out the administration of officials, now Jiajing is in charge With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of taels of silver in hand, whoever dares to jump out to make trouble will be suppressed immediately, no one has the ability.

"I said Lu Anhou, your father and I are also good friends. Our two families have always been family friends. Tell me, what are you forcing me to do?" Zhu Xinfan looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said,

Zhang Hao heard it, looked around, and then said: "Plead guilty quickly, do whatever the emperor wants you to do, otherwise don't blame my nephew for not reminding you, if you are against the emperor, you must prepare for the worst." , don't take chances, it's useless, you know? The emperor is determined!"

"Ah?" Zhu Xinfan looked at Zhang Hao in surprise. "If you don't believe me, just wait and see!" Zhang Hao continued to whisper, and Zhu Xinfan looked at Zhang Hao suspiciously.
