I've been a headhunter at Six Doors all these years

Chapter 186 182: Appoint an imperial envoy to inspect Liangjiang.

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, there is another mystery in this case!"

Huang Chang was even more surprised: "What does Li Aiqing mean by that?"

Li Gangdao: "Your Majesty, Liangjiang Salt Affairs has always colluded with officials and businessmen, but no one has ever been impeached and investigated. However, Ye Fengcai was immediately impeached as soon as he was transferred to the salt inspector. Think about it, Your Majesty. Isn't this a matter?" Something weird?"

When Huang Chang heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.

Of course he is aware of corruption in the salt affairs.It's just that Cai Jing cleverly transferred half of the silver he had embezzled from the salt business to Huang Chang's private treasury to build luxurious and spectacular gardens.

That's why Huang Chang turned a blind eye to the problem of salt corruption.

It's just that Huang Chang himself didn't know how much money Cai Jing had embezzled in the salt business.

This is not surprising, if you don't investigate, how do you know how much money Cai Jing has embezzled?
Therefore, when Li Gang exposed the fig leaf of salt corruption, Huang Chang had nothing to say.After all, he is also a part of corruption, and he is also the biggest master.

This is why Huang Chang favors Cai Jing.

After all, the pot was carried by Cai Jing, but most of the benefits fell into the hands of the emperor.

When Shi Cai Jing's fat sheep was almost raised, Huang Chang took the knife on him again.At that time, he can not only gain a reputation as a wise monarch, but also collect all the money Cai Jing collected into the national treasury.

Why not?
So, it wasn't that Huang Chang didn't want to touch Cai Jing, but that the time hadn't come yet.

Li Gang went on to say: "Your Majesty, Ye Feng has always been a clean official, so how could the Xunyan Yushi embezzle so much silver taels after only two months in office? Moreover, the Ministry of Punishment did not take out much silver taels from Ye Feng's mansion, which shows that Ye Feng is innocent!"

Huang Chang was still silent, but he already agreed with Li Gang's statement in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I thought that someone must have embezzled a large amount of silver taels in Liangjiang Salt Affairs, but instead hired Ye Feng as a scapegoat! In this way, Your Majesty will not be able to recover the embezzled huge amount of silver taels, but these corrupt officials have long been Fill your pockets."

Li Gang's words can be regarded as the real killing exposed, and the front is just a medicine.

Huang Chang was furious when he heard this!
OK!No wonder you want to frame Ye Feng. It turns out that you took this opportunity to erase the huge amount of money you embezzled. It seems that you don't want to investigate you big corrupt officials. I really don't know how much money you have embezzled?

"Decree to send someone from Dali Temple to investigate Ye Feng's salt affairs case."

Eunuch Chen was about to step forward to receive the decree, but Li Gang took the lead and said:

"Your Majesty, I have someone recommended by me. As long as this person goes to investigate, he will be able to find out the truth about Ye Feng's salt affairs case and recover the money for His Majesty."

Huang Chang asked curiously: "Who is this person Ai Qing said? Is he really so capable?"

Li Gang said slowly: "This person is the head arrester of the six sects, arrester Lingyun."

"Ling Yun." Huang Chang's face couldn't help but burst into a satisfied smile, he nodded and said, "If you don't mention him, I almost forgot. Ling Yun's ability is indeed enough to find out the case."

"What the emperor said is very true." Li Gang echoed repeatedly.

"Okay!" Huang Chang took a look at the dragon case, "Let's send Ling Yun to investigate the case!"

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent surprises, I thought that Ling Chushen could visit secretly."

He was afraid that once Cai Jing learned that the emperor sent Ling Yun to investigate Ye Feng's salt case, he would destroy all the evidence in advance, so that Ling Yun would have no way to investigate.

Huang Chang smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Ai Qing, I have my own way."

Immediately he said to Mr. Chen: "Pass down my decree, appoint Ling Yun, chief arrester of the six sects, as the imperial envoy, give Shang Fang a sword, inspect all important military and political affairs in the two rivers, and secretly investigate the salt corruption case."

"According to the order."

Five days later, Ling Yun, the imperial envoy who was inspecting Liangjiang, officially set off with the Shang Fang Sword bestowed by Huang Shang.

There were more than 600 people in the team, among which [-] elite imperial guards were dispatched from the imperial palace guards, and a hundred Xuanyi arresters with better martial arts skills were dispatched from the six gates to follow Ling Yun to Liangjiang for inspection.

In addition, Ji Yaohua and Ma Rufeng, the two silver headhunters of Six Doors, also accompanied secretly.They dressed up as Ling Yun's personal bodyguards.In addition, Zhao Qian from the inspection station also dressed up as Ling Yun's servant and accompanied him.

The reason why Ling Yun brought two silver arresters secretly was of course to assist him in investigating the salt corruption case. With these two silver arresters as their helpers, Ling Yun could carry out investigations when he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As for bringing Zhao Qian, the search expert, it goes without saying that it is to find the dirty money of those corrupt officials.

Cai House.

"Father, why did the emperor suddenly appoint the chief arrester of the six sects as an imperial envoy to inspect Liangjiang?"

In the hall, Cai Jie who got the news asked Cai Jing.

Cai Jing shook his head: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and Father doesn't know either!"

"This is too abnormal!" Cai Jie frowned and thought, "Even if the emperor wants to send imperial envoys to inspect the two rivers, he should also send officials above the six ministers. How can he send the heads of the six sects?"

Cai Jie was right. The emperor sent imperial envoys to inspect, and usually sent officials from the six ministries above the third rank in the court. It is a precedent for the door to arrest the head as an imperial envoy.

Although Ling Yun, the chief arresting official, has reached the third grade, but it is a bit abnormal for the arresting head to be an imperial envoy.

With Cai Jie's cleverness, he immediately sensed that this was a very unusual signal. He wanted to inquire about the situation with the old man who was the chief assistant, but he didn't expect that Cai Jing didn't know the inside story.

Cai Jie frowned and walked in the hall, thinking: "Father, you are the chief assistant of the court, and you don't know the inside story. From this, it can be seen that the emperor sent Ling Yun to patrol the two rivers for another reason. Maybe he is secretly investigating us."

Cai Jing took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I will inform the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to be careful, in case this Ling finds something."

"Father, I think the officials of the two provinces should send more gifts to Ling Yun. As long as he accepts our gifts, he will board our boat. At that time, he can only stand by our side."

I have to say that although Cai Jie's trick is very clichéd, it has always worked very well in officialdom.

Cai Jing twisted his beard and said: "Not only do you need to give gifts, but you also need to choose a few more beauties to send. Money and beauty, there is always one that suits him."

Cai Jie laughed loudly: "Father, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"Second brother, what are you talking about with your father, laughing so happily?"

17-year-old Cai Hu walked in and asked curiously when he saw Cai Jie laughing so triumphantly.

Cai Jie glanced at the youngest brother: "Don't inquire so much about your lord's affairs."

Cai Hu is the youngest son of Cai Jing, and also the most incompetent son. He eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and is ignorant, so Cai Jie looks down on him.
