Jia Yun did not respond. She directly took out a golden imperial edict from the black Feiyu suit she was wearing and said in a deep voice: "Yangzhou salt merchant Shen Yuanwen listens to the edict!"
Immediately, Shen Yuanwen knelt down in front of Jia Yun.
Even Zou Jin and Luo Ruiwen knelt down in front of Jia Yun.
When the imperial edict arrives, if the emperor comes in person, even if there are relatives of the emperor present, the princes and ministers must kneel down to welcome the imperial edict.
Jia Yun immediately read out the edict in a serious tone that he had specially asked Emperor Tianzhi for.
The general content of the imperial edict is to order Shen Yuanwen, the chief minister of Yangzhou, to keep the salt industry in Yangzhou stable during the period when the Jinyi Mansion is in Yangzhou, otherwise he will be held accountable!
After hearing this imperial edict, Shen Yuanwen felt both happy and worried.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianzhi not only issued an imperial edict specifically to him, but also praised the Shen family's contributions to the Supreme Emperor and the Qing Dynasty over the years in the edict. Moreover, Emperor Tianzhi issued such an edict to Shen Yuanwen this time. The imperial order showed that Emperor Tianzhi valued him, the chief minister of Yangzhou.
What is worrying is that Jia Yun, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, went to Yangzhou this time and brought such an imperial edict, which undoubtedly shows that Emperor Tianzhi is determined to urge donations this time and also trusts Jia Yun. Yun's attempt to capture the seven chief salt merchants this time was probably approved by Emperor Tianzhi!
As a result, it will not only be difficult for them, the general salt merchants, to default on their donations, but also very difficult. If they continue to default on their donations, the consequences will be serious!
Jia Yun looked down at Shen Yuanwen who was kneeling in front of her: "Mr. Shen, please accept the order!"
Shen Yuanwen received the imperial edict and immediately stood up with Zou Jin and Luo Ruiwen.
Jia Yun looked at Luo Ruiwen and said in a deep voice: "Master Luo, this time I led the Jinyi Army to Yangzhou to fulfill the emperor's order. If my Jinyi Mansion is obstructed by you, the prefect of Yangzhou, when I am fulfilling the emperor's order, I will Don't blame me for taking down Jinyi Mansion, even you, I hope you can take care of yourself!"
Luo Ruiwen's face was full of bitterness.
At this point, he could only submit in front of Jia Yun.
Because the Jinyi Mansion is really overbearing, and because Luo Ruiwen has already seen from the imperial edict just now that Emperor Tianzhi is determined to urge donations and has great trust in Jia Yun...
In the midst of bitterness, Luo Ruiwen said: "Master Jia, I'll take my leave now."
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, it's inconvenient for you to leave at this time. Please wait in this thousand-household residence."
Luo Ruiwen subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Jia Yun said: "Because I am going to capture the other five chief salt merchants tonight. To be honest with Mr. Luo, if you leave at this time, I am afraid that the news will reach the ears of those chief salt merchants and let them escape." , it delayed my Jinyi Mansion’s appointment, and also delayed my imperial order this time!”
Luo Ruiwen couldn't help but get angry: "Master Jia, after all, I am a fourth-grade imperial civil servant and the prefect of Yangzhou. You are so guarded against me that you even want to temporarily imprison me. Isn't it too much!"
Jia Yun said in a deep voice: "Master Luo, I didn't say I would temporarily detain you, I just asked you to wait in this Qianhu Station temporarily. Besides, it was you who took the initiative to come to Qianhu Station today. If you didn't take the initiative to come, , I won’t treat you like this anymore. The emperor’s order is very important, so I can’t help but act cautiously!”
Luo Ruiwen: "..."
Jia Yun continued to say in a deep voice: "I think I need to remind Mr. Luo once again that our Jinyi Mansion is here in Yangzhou to handle important royal orders. I hope you will take care of yourself. If you have any obstructive behavior, my Jinyi Mansion will I will definitely take down you, the fourth-rank Yangzhou magistrate!"
Luo Ruiwen: "..."
Jia Yun immediately summoned another group of Jinyi.
Jia Yun pointed at Luo Ruiwen and ordered to the Jinyi people: "You are guarding Mr. Luo in the lobby. Without my order, Mr. Luo is not allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to see Mr. Luo!"
"yes!"
The men in brocade clothes respectfully accepted the order.
Shen Yuanwen also had a bitter look on his face at this time.
He thought that Jia Yun had even detained Luo Ruiwen now. He might also be detained in Qianhu Station tonight. Jia Yun would not let him go until he captured the other five general salt merchants.
Zou Jin already felt appreciated for Jia Yun in his heart.
Although he didn't like the tyranny of Jinyi Mansion, he couldn't help but admire Jia Yun now.
He could already foresee that with the help of Jia Yun and Jinyi Mansion, the collection of donations from the eight major salt merchants should be completed.
You know, this matter is not only the imperial destiny that Jia Yun bears, but also the imperial destiny that Zou Jin bears.
Even though Emperor Tianzhi had passed an imperial edict and asked Zou Jin, the salt censor of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, to fully assist Jia Yun this time, that is, Jia Yun was the principal and Zou Jin was the assistant, Jia Yun was also helping Zou by pressing for donations so hard. Naturally, he was eager for Jin to fulfill his imperial mission.
Jia Yun looked at Shen Yuanwen: "Mr. Shen, please follow me to Nuange. I have something important to discuss with you."
Then he said to Zou Jin: "Master Zou, please wait here for a moment. After I finish discussing important matters with Mr. Shen, I also have important matters to discuss with you."
Zou Jin nodded decisively: "Okay!"
Shen Yuanwen asked bitterly: "I wonder if you have anything else to discuss with me, sir?"
Jia Yun said: "You will know if you follow me to Nuange."
Immediately, Jia Yun took Shen Yuanwen to a warm pavilion near the lobby.
Time is urgent, Jia Yun is busy tonight to capture the other five chief salt merchants, so when he takes Shen Yuanwen into Nuan Pavilion, he goes straight to the point: "Mr. Shen, there is no one else here. I have something to do." I can tell you."
Shen Yuanwen asked: "What's the matter?"
Jia Yun said: "When Wang Bingdong confessed just now, he actually not only confessed that the other six general salt merchants except Mr. Shen had an affair with the illegal salt, but also confessed that Mr. Shen had an affair with the illegal salt!"
Shen Yuanwen's eyes suddenly widened: "Sir, if Wang Bingdong really confesses like this, he will be lying and slandering others..."
Before Shen Yuanwen could finish his words, Jia Yun interrupted: "Mr. Shen, I think you know very well whether you have had an affair with a private person. Jinyi Mansion also wants to obtain other witness evidence on this matter. It’s not difficult! To tell you the truth, even the current emperor has heard about this matter!”
Shen Yuanwen was so frightened that his face turned a little pale: "..."
Once upon a time, the general salt merchants in Yangzhou were very taboo about illegal salt, because they knew that being contaminated with this stuff would be a serious crime. However, today, none of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou is clean in this regard, and all of them are more or less guilty. Don't get involved with private people.
Because of the layers of exploitation in the officialdom, official salt is more expensive than private salt, private salt is rampant, and official salt is no match for private salt. In addition, the general salt merchant in Yangzhou is extravagant and extravagant in order to maintain and develop the official-business relationship. If the general salt merchant in Yangzhou does not follow the If you have an affair, you will have trouble making ends meet.
Almost all those who can become chief salt merchants are greedy. How can they be willing to make ends meet? How can they watch other chief salt merchants make huge profits through private salt while they themselves cannot make ends meet?
In fact, many officials are aware of this matter, and even Emperor Tianzhi is aware of it. However, this matter is very difficult, and even Emperor Tianzhi finds it difficult to deal with it...
Shen Yuanwen also knew that many officials knew about this matter, but when he saw Jia Yun expose the matter in person and move out of the Tianzhi Emperor, he was inevitably frightened.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun continued: "President Shen, Wang Bingdong not only accused you of having an affair with a private salt collector, but also accused you of other violations of the law!"
Shen Yuanwen was even more frightened when he heard this. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He already hated Wang Bingdong in his heart...
In fact, Jia Yun was lying this time. Wang Bingdong did not accuse Shen Yuanwen of any other violations of the law...
