"Hey, this old fox finally showed up!" Yang Lian heard the report from the people below and immediately laughed: "Then please come in!"

As for how the news about her arrival in Yangzhou was leaked, Yang Lian had already speculated in her heart. Pang Jin and Yang Bin were not stupid and would definitely not leak their news. The only possibility was Cai Chen, the commander of the Yangzhou Guard. The leak of this news,

As a result, I can only show my face, standing out in eunuch clothes like this.

After interrogating Yang Lian, he got a piece of news that he didn't expect. His identity was actually leaked by the prefect's Yamen, which was interesting.

Originally, Yang Lian wanted to see what was going on with the Yangzhou magistrate, but he could not sit still and never came. This time he finally came.

Not long after, a civil servant in his forties walked in under the guidance of Dongchang Fanzi. After seeing Yang Lian, he quickly bowed and said: "Qi Huan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, met Eunuch Yang. I just found out today.

When Eunuch Yang arrived on the ground in Yangzhou, I was really ashamed. If I had known that Eunuch Yang had arrived on the ground in Yangzhou, I would have paid a visit earlier."

Qi Huan is a civil servant in his forties. His smile is like a spring breeze. His whole person exudes a gentle and humble temperament. With his good looks, he looks like a civil servant template.

But Yang Lian secretly cursed in her heart, I believed your ghost, you old guy is so bad, I can't believe what you said, why did you know it earlier, you just knew it earlier. It's just that you didn't come to visit,

Instead, he turned around and sold me.

Although Yang Lian scolded Qi Huan in her heart, she had a gentle smile on her face. Obviously Yang Lian also knew that it was not appropriate to offend Qi Huan, who was the prefect of Yangzhou, at this time. After thinking about it, Yang Lian

He smiled and said: "Prefect Qi is too polite. Our family has official duties when we come to Yangzhou, so we don't want to bother the place. The disturbance is too heavy, and our family can't explain it to the emperor."

Not to mention Qi Huan, Yang Lian's subordinates felt their hearts twitching when they heard this. Father-in-law, don't you feel guilty for saying this?

However, Qi Huan said with admiration: "Eunuch Yang is very virtuous and is really a model official. We admire him. I heard that Eunuch Yang is investigating the illegal salt case at the dock?"

Yang Lian was stunned, did she turn to the topic so quickly? However, Yang Lian still said calmly: "I wonder if Mr. Qi can give me some advice?"

"Eunuch Yang, I will tell you the truth. After Xiaguan arrived in Yangzhou, he discovered that these people were smuggling salt. However, the salt merchants were powerful and intricately connected. In addition, Xiaguan was the magistrate of Yangzhou and was unable to govern the salt administration. This made Xiaguan want to

Powerless." As he spoke, Qi Huan shook his head with a look of shame on his face and said, "The lower official can only collect evidence secretly, hoping to wait until the time is right to present these people to the court."

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty was wise enough to send Eunuch Yang to Yangzhou. Eunuch Yang was worthy of His Majesty's personal orders. After arriving in Yangzhou, he acted vigorously and reaped rewards in a short period of time."

Listening to Qi Huan talking about herself seriously, Yang Lian was in a daze for a moment. Did she make a mistake? Or did the salt merchants lie? Was the person in front of her really responsible for the leak of her identity?

"Eunuch Yang has arrived today to give Yangzhou Salt Road a bright and sunny day!" Qi Huan said as he stood up, bowed to Yang Lian, and then continued: "Eunuch Yang, the biggest reason for the collapse of Yangzhou Salt Service is

Liu Qi, the Yangzhou transshipment envoy, has collected a lot of evidence over the years, and this time he brought it all over and asked Eunuch Yang to review it."

Taking a deep look at Qi Huan, Yang Lian finally understood at this moment that Qi Huan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was eyeing the position of Yangzhou transfer envoy Liu Qi.

After he arrived, he first let the news out, and then kept observing. Seeing that he really wanted to make things bigger and was really capable of making things bigger, this decisive person took action. From what he could

Judging from the evidence of Liu Qi, Yangzhou's transit envoy, this person has been thinking about Liu Qi's position for more than a day or two.

But this is easy to understand. The magistrate of Yangzhou is of the fourth rank, and the transfer envoy's yamen are of the third rank. There are more than 150 prefectures in the country. Although not all of them are of the fourth rank, there are quite a few!

The transfer envoy is from the third level, which is a high-ranking rank, not to mention the oil and water of the transfer envoy, which is like an oil depot. They are both in Yangzhou City, how can they not be jealous?

Yang Lian also understood that the Yangzhou magistrate had no bottom line. A few days ago, he was on the same line with the Yangzhou salt merchants, and now he came directly to her side. However, Yang Lian didn't care about these, and reached out to take Qi Huan with him.

After looking through the evidence that came, it turned out to be incredible evidence. It turned out that the transshipment envoy not only protected the salt field officials and salt merchants, but was also involved in the smuggling of salt business.

This salt merchant is his brother-in-law. This is also very common in official circles. It is not a strange thing. It is all done by relatives. But if you say that he did not get any benefits, even a fool will not believe it.

Yang Lian put down the evidence, then glanced at Qi Huan, and said with a smile: "Since we have this evidence, Mr. Qi can submit a memorial. I believe the court will have its own fair judgment!"

Qi Huan shook his head with a serious face: "Eunuch Yang, Liu Qi is so powerful. If he is not careful, he will destroy the evidence. If I am implicated, the Yangzhou Salt Road will never see a bright and sunny day.

This time when Eunuch Yang came to Yangzhou, the official saw an opportunity. He would definitely hit the target with one blow against corrupt officials like Liu Qi!"

Seeing Qi Huan acting like he was serving the country and the people, Yang Lian felt that she still had to practice, and she was far behind with this shameless energy.

Why would he sacrifice his life for the sake of the Yangzhou Salt Road? This guy is just afraid. Once he sets his sights on Liu Qi, he himself will be targeted by the salt merchants.

Now that she has moved the salt merchant, this guy just came over. As for making friends with Quan Yi and the like, Yang Lian only regarded it as a joke. This kind of thing can only be shouted out by two fools. How many high-ranking officials in the court are not

Those who make friends with eunuchs are chamberlains. A little bit of information can be passed on and it will be of great help. With so many benefits, who would stop eating because of choking?

Yang Lian looked at Qi Huan, reached out and patted the evidence, and then said, "I wonder what Mr. Qi wants this time?"

"Of course I have my duty to shoulder the responsibility. I have already written the memorial and will hand it over later. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to get this memorial to the emperor, so I would like to ask Eunuch Yang to submit it to the emperor on my behalf." Qi Huan looked upright.

said.

Yang Lian looked at Qi Huan. This Qi Huan was really a person. Yang Lian couldn't help but re-examine Qi Huan. Originally, Yang Lian thought that this Qi Huan was just an opportunistic civil servant. It was no big deal. He had seen many such people.
