Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi left, but they couldn't eat this welcome banquet. Sun Piyang had a gloomy face. The thing he was most worried about still happened. Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not stop, but something happened.

The imperial envoy Cao Yikui played with the wine glass in his hand, swept over the many Cangzhou officials present expressionlessly, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Wang Yongji had a expressionless face. He had discovered that there was something wrong with it. Since he left the capital, the whole thing had become strange. Now, he has concluded that all this had been arranged long ago.

Turning his head to look at Sun Piyang and Cao Yikui, Wang Yongji wanted to see who arranged it.

Or are people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei?

"Okay, let's get to the banquet here!" Sun Piyang didn't care much, so he stood up and walked out. For him, going to see what Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi were doing was much more important than eating wine here.

Cao Yikui and Wang Yongji naturally would not sit here, so they stood up and went out with Sun Piyang.

Only the officials and gentry of Cangzhou were left in the audience. Some gentry could understand that the court came for the salt administration. The Zhou family was selling salt. Now that the people from the Zhou family have been arrested, they are also afraid of being implicated!

"Sir, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first!"

An old man said this to Yao Renji, turned around and said goodbye.

The others also followed suit. Except for the officials from Cangzhou, all the gentry who came quickly left. Everyone knows that Yao Renji is probably not going to pass this level, and the court is really playing this time.

Sun Piyang came to the backyard and saw Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi drinking tea. He couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?"

Wang Zhong immediately smiled: "Mr. Sun, this is a good thing!" As he said that, someone asked someone to serve a cup of tea for Sun Piyang and the other two, then he said: "The East Factory received a tip that Zhou Feng of the Zhou family is the largest private salt dealer in the local area."

"After learning that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy, all the salt was hidden."

"After our family and Xing Qianhu got the news, they personally took people to search the grain store, and found a total of 30,000 small cigarettes and 20,000 large cigarettes, totaling 120,000 jin. Nine private salt dealers were killed on the spot and seven private salt dealers were arrested."

Sun Piyang was shocked. Others could be faked, but salt could not be found. If you find so much salt, it must be private salt.

What he was worried about was not because of this, but because of other things. It wasn't this eunuch and the Jinyiwei who were messing around, right?

"After interrogating the manager of the grain store, we determined that the private salt belonged to the Zhou family, and our family and Xing Qianhu took people to the Zhou family." Wang Zhong looked at Sun Piyang with a smile and said, "The Sun family's guards took people to resist the Jinyiwei and the East Factory."

"Thirty-six people were killed on the spot, four powerful bows were found, and the swords and guns were incalculable."

"Three masters, Zhou family members, etc. have been detained in the Zhou family's compound, and all the certified physical evidence is complete. Now, just interrogate Zhou Feng. As long as you get confessions from Zhou Feng and his sales of private salt online, we can continue to investigate."

Sun Piyang looked at Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi. Are you both Dongchang and Jinyiwei doing this?

However, Sun Piyang also knew that it would be useless to say more things at this point, but this would not work. Looking at the two people with a gloomy face, Sun Piyang said in a deep voice: "I am the imperial envoy this time, and the emperor specially ordered the title to be granted."

"You dare not report to me for such a big matter. You are simply not obsessed with the emperor."

Wang Zhong hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun, this is not an emergency, and Zhou Feng is in there, so it's really not right. Our family and Xing Qianhu don't want to alarm the enemy. Lord Sun is responsible for the sake of handling the matter for the emperor, right?"

"No more examples, no more examples!"

Seeing that Wang Zhong was very down, Sun Piyang nodded and said, "I won't be the case!"

In fact, Sun Piyang knew that if the case was true, he would have no chance even if he submitted the memorial and participated in Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi. The key was the case, unless it was an unjust, false and wrong case.

"Prepare all the details of the case, all the evidence and witness testimony, and hand them over to me at that time." Sun Piyang said.

The whole city of Cangzhou was in martial law. Because Zhou Feng was arrested, people were panicked. Many people wanted to go out of the city to avoid the limelight, but before they could leave, Cangzhou City was in martial law. The poor people did not stop them from entering and leaving, but the large group of people had to strictly investigate the entry and exit of the city.

Cangzhou City was suddenly panicked, and even more panicked, it was indeed the officials of Cangzhou City.

Headed by Yao Renji, the governor of Cangzhou, from top to bottom, he was frightened.

"Sir, why don't we send someone to Hejian Mansion to deliver a letter!" Tongzhi Lin Yi looked at Yao Renji and suggested: "The Zhou family has a close relationship with Hejian Mansion. Zhou Feng's sister married to the Qian family of Hejian Mansion."

"The Qian family is very powerful and rich. I heard that it is related to the Xining Hou Mansion in the capital. It is said that the salt in the Zhou family came from the Qian family in Hejian Mansion."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Yao Renji not only was not happy, but instead stood up in horror, pointed at Lin Yi and asked, "How did you know these?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Sir, it's not the time to care about these things. If we don't think of a solution, let alone the black hat on our heads, I'm afraid my head may not be able to be kept."

"Sir, think twice before you act!"

Lin Yi said this last sentence very lightly, but it is difficult to refuse.

After a while, Yao Renji sat down powerlessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Just do what you said!"

The entire Cangzhou City was stormy and stormy, but the capital was still as stable as Mount Tai, with traffic and extremely prosperous. At the gate of the capital, a light donkey cart came. An old man was wearing a gray cloth and a package was placed beside him.

When he arrived at the city gate, the driver who was driving the car took the post to the city gate, and soon alarmed the city gate officer.

After looking at the post, the city gate official's face suddenly changed. He hurriedly asked his subordinate who was sending the post: "Where is the person?"

"Sir, it's right there!" his subordinate pointed to the donkey cart not far away and said.

"What are you pointing at?" The city gate official slapped his subordinates and scolded: "Send people in quickly, don't seek death. We can't afford to offend this old man."

"No one can afford to offend our gatekeeper in the capital!"

His subordinate muttered, but was kicked by the gatekeeper: "What are you talking about? Why don't you go quickly?"

The men under his command left, and the gatekeeper hurriedly reached out to greet someone: "Go back to report the message, and I will say that Hai Rui has entered Beijing!"

Hai Rui got off the donkey cart, looked at the driver who was driving the car, and said unhappily: "How many times have you told you? You have been queuing at the door, but the people are queuing. Why do you send a post? You can't queue up after becoming an official? What is the reason?"
