"Commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin, is a loyal and upright person. He is not a treacherous and evil person. He should not be involved in any serious crimes." Liu Jian on the side said.

Xie Qian glanced at Liu Jian, snorted coldly, and then said: "Implicated? These people still need to be implicated. None of them are innocent. We know that the salt inspector is a fat man, but this is too fat."

?More than two million taels of money were copied, and the farmland in my hometown was more than 3,000 hectares. What is this? This kind of person should be beheaded."

"I think let's just leave this matter alone. Let's investigate and get to the bottom of it. Whoever is implicated will be arrested, and we will be sentenced as we see fit!"

After taking a look at Xie Qian, who was slightly excited, Li Dongyang persuaded him: "Mr.

Shouning Hou did it because he just wanted to reach into the salt channel. This is the key to the problem."

"The first thing that happened was Hou Ning went to the palace to ask for a salt lesson, but His Majesty refused and was scolded by the prince, so Shouning Hou thought of another way."

"Judging from the whole process, Shouning Hou contacted Xungui and Dongchang at the same time. Both parties attacked at the same time, setting up a Salt and Iron Division in the court and holding the power of salt administration in his own hands. With

At the same time, the Dongchang side is taking action in Yangzhou, with the purpose of getting rid of the salt road officials and replacing them with their own people, which is why there is such a big fuss over there in Yangzhou."

"Remove the salt road officials and the disobedient local salt merchants, so that Shouning Marquis will have a salt and iron department above him, and there will be local officials and salt road officials who are dependent on him. In this way, the entire salt road of the Ming Dynasty will be under control.

It’s in the hands of Hou Ninghou.”

As Li Dongyang spoke, his face became more serious: "If this is really the case, it would be troublesome. Hou Ninghou is greedy and enriches himself. If the salt road really falls into his hands,

, then the salt channels of the Ming Dynasty are not the salt channels of the Ming Dynasty. We must stop this matter, and we must not let Shouning Hou turn the salt channels into his private property."

After listening to Li Dongyang's words, Liu Jian stroked his beard and said with a slight hesitation: "I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple."

"We all know that Marquis Shouning is an incompetent person, always scheming, fierce and timid, he does big things but doesn't care about his own life, and he forgets his life when he sees small gains. How could such a person have such a sophisticated layout?

This game is interconnected and delicate. If you are not careful, your success will be ruined. It is definitely not something that someone like Shouning Hou can do."

"Now is not the time to worry about this, right?" Xie Qian said on the side: "No matter who is advising Hou Ninghou, the top priority is how to solve this matter."

The three people were silent again. The best way is of course to seize the right to handle the case. However, looking at the current situation, it is not easy to seize the right to handle the case. After thinking about it, Li Dongyang said: "Our Ming Dynasty has more than just one Lianghuai salt field. This

The salt channel cannot be decided by just one Lianghuai salt field. Since the Lianghuai salt field cannot be saved, it is better to start with several other salt fields."

"If we don't take action now, it is estimated that several other salt fields will not be saved by then. With these salt fields in hand, at least the salt channels will not fall into the hands of Shouning Hou."

Liu Jian nodded and said: "This is a very good move. Let's find someone to draw up a question book. Since the Lianghuai Salt Field is like this, other salt fields are probably similar. You can check it out. This time we can take the initiative. Even if it is

The Lianghuai Salt Farm has been taken over by Shouning Hou. We also have the power to protect ourselves and fight back. We send people to keep an eye on it. If Shouning Hou does anything illegal, we can impeach him."

"There is one more thing!" Xie Qian on the other side said: "If you want those people to stop as soon as they see fit, Your Majesty has already dealt with Hou Ninghou, and you can't let those people chase and bite you anymore."

"If you still chase and bite me at this time, it will definitely be counterproductive. Once your Majesty is angered, things will be really difficult to handle."

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Yes, we must handle this matter as soon as possible. Tell the people below to restrain them and not to write questions casually. In addition, we will also conduct a thorough investigation of other salt fields tomorrow."

When the question book is uploaded, the two Zhejiang and Changlu people must keep a close eye on it to make sure no more mistakes are made. If someone is writing the question book, get him out."

The cabinet quickly reached a consensus, and the imperial edict quickly reached Shouning Houfu, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

After seeing off the officials who delivered the order, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling returned to the house expressionlessly. His younger brother Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling followed Zhang Heling. After entering the house, Zhang Yanling couldn't help it and said quickly: "Brother, Your Majesty

What does this mean? Are we really going to be punished as those civil servants said?"

Glancing at his younger brother, Zhang Heling frowned slightly. Why didn't he realize that his younger brother was so stupid before?

At first, she thought that her younger brother was just like herself, and that the two of them could discuss anything together, but now she found that her younger brother was simply a fool. Why hadn't she noticed this problem before? Zhang Heling soon thought of the reason.

Ever since I played with the prince's nephew, my horizons have broadened, and my scheming has been rising. When I look at my brother again, I feel stupid.

Zhang Heling actually felt like he was looking in the mirror. Isn't this the same damn self he used to be? Was he so stupid before?

Glancing at Zhang Yanling, Zhang Heling said directly: "What do you know? What is this? Your Majesty is protecting us. Aren't those courtiers cooperating with us? This is blocking their mouths."

Zhang Yanling curled her lips: "What kind of return protection is this? Our people have been taken away, then who will do things for us? What will we eat if the land is returned? I have told you not to make trouble with those civil servants, and we can't make trouble with them."

, is it okay this time?"

"You know shit!" Zhang Heling couldn't help but cursed: "What are those subordinates for? What can they do? Besides, if you have money, are you afraid that you can't find anyone? The one who will handle things for us in the future will be Dongchang.

It's Jin Yiwei, it's Shuntian Mansion. Those lands, how much are those lands worth? Do you know how much the gift from that man named Liu Qi is worth? You won't be able to harvest that much in a lifetime of farming."

"Once the salt road is in our hands, it will be gold and silver. If we don't care about the land at that time, I will immediately follow the imperial edict."

"You, you will do it immediately after you return. Cooperate with the investigation of Shuntian Mansion and the inspectors. The village fields will be returned and people will give you food compensation. In addition, you will know that the nobles and relatives who are doing business with us this time,
