Daming reckless man

Chapter 323

Chapter 323

Zhang Hao sat there, talking to see how courageous those salt merchants were. When those salt merchants heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They didn’t know what Zhang Hao’s words meant.
But Zhang Hao didn't give them time to think, but took the paper they wrote and started asking.When those salt merchants heard this, they could only nod their heads. They originally wrote it themselves, but now they asked, they could only nod their heads and admit it.

Zhang Hao read them one by one, and those whose names were called all stood up and cupped their hands. After reading all the words, those people just looked at Zhang Hao.

"I heard before that Jin merchants are very powerful. Because they have the help of King Jin behind them, they dare to do anything, even if they offend the court. I really saw it today!" Zhang Hao sat down There, he looked at them with a smile and said.

"My lord, I misunderstood, we dare not offend the court!" Zhang Sijiao felt very bad at the moment, and immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said.

"Really? You wrote this, saying you were deceiving me. In fact, you were deceiving the court and the emperor. Now you all know that there is a shortage of salt in many places, and the salt in those places is controlled by you. Now I let When you write about when you will have salt, you all pushed it to half a month later, isn’t this nonsense? Ah!
There is no salt for half a month, and the people are still in chaos?You want to use this method to put pressure on the court, and hope that the emperor will not rectify the salt affairs. The salt will continue to be sold by you, and the grain at the border will continue to be controlled by you. Of course, those fertile fields will also be controlled by you, right? ? "Zhang Hao sat there, looked at them with a smile and asked, they all felt sweat on their foreheads at the moment.

"My lord. Could it be that what they wrote is all false?" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and asked.

"What do you think?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"This is impossible, right?" Yu Dafang was still shocked, how dare they do this?
"My lord, we dare not lie to you, we really don't have any salt, please be aware, my lord!"

"Yes, please be aware, my lord, we are really gone!".
Those salt merchants stood up and talked one after another, Zhang Hao looked at them with a sneer, but none of them dared to look at Zhang Hao.

"Come here!" Zhang Hao shouted, and immediately, Shen Lian came in.

"Go, take the imperial guards to check the table salt, as long as you find out who has it, no, if there are more than 10 dans, they will be sealed off!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian.

"Yes, my lord!" Upon hearing this, Shen Lian cupped his hands and went out.

"What?" When the businessmen heard this, they were too frightened to seize it?

"My lord, I'm wronged, I remember I still have some at home, but not many!" A salt merchant immediately knelt down and shouted.

"My lord, I still have some at home, I just forgot the number, I'll go back and take it out now!" "My lord, that, I misremembered, I still have some at home!".
When some small salt merchants heard this, they all knelt down, kowtowed and shouted at Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao sat there without moving.

There are still more than 30 tons of salt in Zhang Sijiao's house, and more than 50 tons of salt in other shops, but they are not selling it. If it is seized, it will be a big loss, and Wang's and Fan's are also In this way, the salt in their hands can be enough for the common people to eat for several months, let alone those small businessmen still have a lot of salt in their hands!
"Shut up, I gave you a chance, you have to think of it as a fluke, what can I do, your chief envoy is here, and he has personally witnessed what happened just now, have I wronged you?" Zhang Hao sat there and said to them with a sneer.

"What's going on? The old man sent someone to ask you, asking you to take out the salt to calm the market. Why did you all say no, and even said that there might not be any in this month. Who will give the old man an explanation?" Yu Dafang at this moment face is black,
If Zhang Hao really found the salt, it would be his dereliction of duty and his incompetence. If the emperor wants to track it down, he will be in trouble. After all, many places have already started to be short of salt. If not for the short time, the people will definitely be in chaos. up.

"My lord, we, we!" Those salt merchants were about to cry at this moment, and some salt merchants were already slumped on the ground. They all knew that once Zhang Hao sent someone to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out.
However, no one thought that Zhang Hao would do this. It was illegal to do so. However, because they wrote that note, it would not be illegal for Zhang Hao to search now. On the contrary, it should be taken for granted, so now Only then did they understand why Zhang Hao asked them to write it. Originally, if these things hadn’t been written, Zhang Hao couldn’t have sent someone to investigate.
If you go to check, those civil servants in the capital will definitely publish the impeachment memorial, including King Jin will not agree to it, but now that they wrote it, there is no other way.

"My lord, please give me a way out!" Zhang Sijiao cupped his hands at Zhang Hao.

"My lord, we have nothing to do, and we don't want to do this, but." Fan Tianming also cupped his hands and said, but was interrupted by Zhang Hao: "But what? But someone threatened you? Who threatened you? I am rectifying Yantiecha Minister, I just came here and asked you for salt, but if you don’t give it, what can I do? Since someone is threatening you, okay, don’t worry, I won’t arrest you, I will let you go.”

"You look for the relationship behind you, but I will catch your family members. Remember, if you die, your family members will be buried with you. I just want to know who has the ability to dare Make a fuss about the salt that the people urgently need?
It has been more than a hundred years since the court gave you the salt. Which one of you has made a lot of money, why, now that the court wants to rectify it, you think it is impossible, and you think it has robbed you of your interests?Is that in your interest?That is what the imperial court gave you. You are not satisfied, and dare to fight against the imperial court. Who gave you the courage?ah? "Zhang Hao sat there and questioned those people,

They heard it, but dared not make a sound, they all knew they were in trouble.

"I said, I let you be free, but you can't leave Taiyuan City. If you leave, then prepare for the death of the whole family? As for whether your whole family will die in the end, I don't know yet, it's up to you. Dare to fight against the court!" Zhang Hao said with a sneer at the moment, those people were all looking at Zhang Hao dully, and now they didn't know what to say.

"My lord, do you have anything to add here?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang while speaking,
Yu Dafang was very angry at the moment. He didn't expect that these businessmen would do such a thing. It was a shame that he wanted to keep them before.

"I have nothing to say, my lord, you have the final say!" Yu Dafang immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, before dark, I will let you go, come, take them down, before dark, come and ask me, then I will see if I let them go!" Zhang Hao shouted to the outside Immediately, a large number of Jinyiwei came over and escorted those people out. No one dared to resist, and soon the place was clean.

"Did you see it? They are fighting against the court like this, and they want to make Daming fall into a state of salt shortage. This is the salt merchant in Shanxi!" Zhang Hao said to Yu Dafang.

"The lower officials are guilty, the lower officials mistrusted them!" Yu Dafang stood up and said to Zhang Hao.

"It's okay, today, we'll just wait here, and then you'll know how much salt they have left, and what do they want to do? To put it bluntly, they can even be accused of treason!" Zhang Hao Said to Yu Dafang.

"This, rebellion?" Yu Dafang became anxious when he heard it. The rebellion is the Zhujiu family. Then those rich businessmen in Shanxi will probably be wiped out, because those rich businessmen are all married. Not a wealthy businessman anymore.

"It's up to them now!" Zhang Hao said with a smile to Yu Dafang, then he stood up and said, "Let's arrange a room, I'll sit in it, drink tea and sleep, anyway, I still have time now, I guess It will be counted in the afternoon!"

"Yes, I will arrange it right away!" Yu Dafang stood up, took Zhang Hao out, and went to a wing not far away.
Zhang Hao just sat inside and started making tea by himself.
At the beginning, Yu Dafang was going to finish meeting those businessmen, and he was busy with his own affairs, but now it is obviously impossible, so many businessmen have been arrested, and he knows the background of those businessmen, they are all from Jin Dynasty There are people like this, so I still need to remind Zhang Haocai.

"My lord, just catch them all in one go, I'm afraid there will be some people who have opinions!" Yu Dafang stood there and said tentatively.

"Who has an opinion? What's your opinion?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang pretending to be confused and asked.

"My lord, these people can gain a firm foothold in Shanxi, and they can grow so big, it's impossible for your lord to know everything, and I reminded you yesterday!" Yu Dafang said with a smile.

"Ha, I know, aren't you just worried about King Jin and those people? It's okay, they broke the law, and King Jin dares to protect them?" Zhang Hao continued to pretend to be confused.

"My lord, you can't say that. People from the King Jin family have a very strong network here, and there are many ministers supporting them in the capital. It's better to be careful about this matter!" Yu Dafang still said worriedly.

"Well, okay, I see, if you are not busy, just sit down and chat!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, looking at Yu Dafang.

"Alright, I'm also very confused about today's matter. How do you know that they still have salt?" Yu Dafang sat down. He didn't want to leave at first, but now he still wanted to find out more information.
