"Besides, my uncle has just made a meritorious service, and the matter is related to the Salt Gang. Everything has been pushed to the emperor. If the emperor still can't remember him, then my grandson will have nothing to say."
Su Yizhao spread his hands. Although the position of Tongzhi is easy to achieve meritorious service and the power is not small, if he loses his life, who would dare to take it? How can this position be so good?
In the past two years, how many people have dared to go to the south of the Yangtze River to compete with the Salt Gang? Everyone cherishes their lives!
If the emperor still feels that Su Wenchun is not qualified, it can only mean that Su Wenchun was too mediocre during his reign, or even made no achievements at all.
The old man and Su Wenchun were speechless at the same time. I have to say that what Su Yizhao said made sense.
"What's the chance?" The old man couldn't help but ask.
Even Su Wenchun pricked up his ears. Although he was unwilling to go before, now he was ready to go and had to go.
"Well..." Su Yizhao turned around and glanced at Su Wenchun, "About 70%!"
Su Yizhao was waiting quietly at his residence for the news to arrive. Su Huai and Dequan had returned from Beiyuan Mansion, and they were now inquiring about the Shen Mansion.
"Master! The Shen family has been thoroughly searched. Shen Mingyao and all the men in the house have been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the female family members have been detained separately."
When Su Huai returned to his residence, he reported to Su Yizhao. He seemed to be used to listening to Su Yizhao give orders.
Su Yizhao was a little silent. This is when one person makes a mistake and the whole family sits together.
How innocent are those women and children? They know nothing at all.
"What's going on in the house of the Chief Assistant and Mr. Lin?"
"Everything is normal, there is no movement." Su Huai said.
"Pay close attention to their families. If they sense something is wrong, they may evacuate their families first."
Although I don't expect to bring down the chief assistant, I can't give up any clues.
On October 21st, Shen Mingyao committed suicide in prison because he could not bear the punishment at Dali Temple.
Six days later, the Shen family in Jiangnan was investigated and prosecuted by the court, and the officials who colluded with them and the Salt Gang were taken into custody.
However, in just ten days, the Qingliu Shen family ceased to exist.
The capital city was in a state of turmoil, many officials were investigated and punished, and even the national treasury was filled with money.
Su Yizhao finally bought her favorite mansion in Beicheng this time. Although it was only a third-class residence, it was more exquisite and elegant.
A white cool mist rises from the river, and the dead grass on the ground is covered with frost, and crystal dewdrops hang on it.
"Brother, please be extremely careful when you go to the Western Capital. It's not like the capital, so you have to be careful at all times. It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."
Su Wenzhou looked at Su Wenchun who was about to board the boat, and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
He and his eldest brother have never been separated. They are siblings from the same mother and full brothers.
"Third brother, as a brother, we have to travel far this time. The second brother is away from home all year round, so you and the fourth brother will take care of your old parents at home."
"Brother! Don't worry, my fourth brother and I will take good care of our parents. Take care of yourself!"
Su Wenzhou's voice was choked with sobs, and the two of them were saying goodbye.
Su Yizhao, who was seeing them off at the side, did not come forward. It was the time for the two brothers to say goodbye, so she didn't want to be an eyesore.
The female relatives had just said goodbye and boarded the ship, only Su Wenchun was still staying.
Su Wenchun glanced at Su Yizhao and then saw Su Yizhao standing behind him, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.
"Xiao Qi!" Su Wenchun waved to Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao then stepped forward and said, "Uncle! When you go out, be careful and take care of yourself!"
Su Wenchun was transferred to Qinnan Mansion as Tongzhi, which was exactly their purpose.
I came here to cooperate with Cao Jincheng. In Su Yizhao's words, I came here to get credit. This is a good opportunity!
Salt Road officials will be replaced immediately after serving for three years, and you will not be re-elected unless you are able to be appointed by the emperor himself.
Generally, you will be promoted after your term of office is over. This is to gain wealth and wealth at risk. Of course, the premise is that you must be destined to be promoted.
Su Wenchun took a deep breath. The road ahead was uncertain, but there were also great opportunities.
"You're right. I've been at ease for too long, which is a sign of not wanting to make progress. Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about my second brother. He has always worked hard on his own. If he can do it, why can't I?"
Su Yizhao was a little surprised. Before today, Su Wenchun was still somewhat resistant to this matter. Unexpectedly, he figured it out overnight?
But it would be best if he could make progress and save her some energy.
"Uncle, don't worry too much. The general direction is already under control. You have just gone and don't know much about the Western Capital yet, so you'd better listen to Mr. Cao's opinions. In addition, you must always protect your own safety. The guards assigned by your grandfather cannot
Leaving the body is the most important thing."
Su Wenchun nodded, and then patted Su Yizhao on the shoulder.
"Let's go! As for your father, don't blame him. When he returns from his travels, I will advise your grandfather to find him a job as soon as possible."
Su Yizhao forced a smile, but in fact he felt very unconcerned.
She is not Tang and Su Yiliang, and she still has expectations for Su Wenqing.
Su Wenqing said before that he wanted to go back to Beiyuan Mansion with her, but when she went to the courtyard to ask when she would return to the capital together, she only got a letter from a neighbor, and the people in the courtyard had long since disappeared.
.
The letter was written by Su Wenqing, saying that he was going on a trip and his return date was uncertain.
I have to say that this father is really a scumbag. He must have taken his little five or six with him to travel around the mountains and rivers.
The mistress of the family is taking care of the household affairs, the son is working hard for the Su family, and even the old father is worried day and night, but he is the only one who lives such a free and easy life.
The two concubines in the fourth room were even more miserable. The master was unreliable. The mistress felt that they were pitiful and did not bother to embarrass them. She did not know how to live her life in the future.
Three months later, Cao Jincheng, the salt patrol censor in the Western Capital, investigated and dealt with the trafficking of illegal salt in Jiangnan, which once again shocked the government and the public.
This time, more than 20 officials, big and small, were implicated. A total of more than 3.78 million taels of dirty silver were seized, and more than 50 households were confiscated. Most of the Jiangnan Salt Road officials were impeached and confiscated at once.
"Sir! Our deployment in Jiangnan this time has seriously damaged our vitality!"
The staff member Yunzheng looked at the silent Chief Minister E Chongming. Among the more than 20 officials seized, eight of them were from them.
Although he is not of high rank, he still has real power in Jiangnan.
E Chongming cast his eyes on Meng Lingxi, who had a solemn face, "Xier! You see, court battles have always been so cruel."
Meng Lingxi pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what to say.
He still had some conscience in his heart. Those officials who had secretly connected with the salt gang and violated the interests of the court should indeed be punished.
"Xi'er! Do you think the remaining dozen officials are just greedy for ink?"
E Chongming looked at Meng Lingxi who was thinking and knew what he was thinking. This closed disciple was smart, but he was too naive.
"No! There are people behind them. Who do you think those people are? Salt fortune is a huge profit, who can not be tempted? As long as you understand that if there is no one in the court, can they escape the censor's annual inspections?"
Meng Lingxi looked at E Chongming and suddenly felt powerless in her heart.
