Meng Hezhou was stunned when he heard Wei Xizhuang's words and then thought.

There were many people jumping out from the opposite side, from Shuntian Prefecture to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel. He Qi would be the most active, followed by Qian Zhongting.

But arresting people is not a casual way, especially when the other party arrested Zhou Zheng's father Zhou Qingli, which obviously wanted to force Zhou Zheng to submit. If they wanted to arrest people, they had to catch them.

Meng Hezhou is not a person in the officialdom, and he can't tell the difference between these things. He looked at Wei Xizhuang and said, "Sir, we don't have enough manpower, and we can't arrest him randomly. Is this a big deal for the Censor Zhou?"

Wei Xizhuang has been hiding a little angry recently, so he can't bear it. He said directly, "No need, let's do it, just catch that He Qihui. I saw him jumping up and down, and he was so impatient that he was caught in the imperial prison and tortured severely!"

Menghezhou knew that Wei Xizhuang was going to show it to those people, and said, "But our people have been transferred, so it's not convenient for us to come forward."

Meng Hezhou and others are secret guards and are not yet registered. If they show up openly, it will be a big problem.

Wei Xizhuang sneered proudly on his face and said, "They really thought I was in the imperial prison for so long, so it was ridiculous! Take my token and go find someone named Wang Heng. He is my brother-in-law. Let him arrest He Qihui, and then arrest him at the Ministry of Justice and take action tomorrow morning!"

Meng Hezhou didn't know that Wei Xizhuang had such a relationship, so he immediately said, "It's my lord!"

Wei Xizhuang felt a little more comfortable. Seeing that Meng Hezhou was about to leave, he suddenly said, "By the way, send Yang Qishou's interrogation record to Lao Zhou, his mind is better than us."

Menghezhou said, "Okay."

...

Zhou Qingli was arrested, and the Zhou family was quiet.

Zhou Fang walked around Zhou Zheng’s desk and said with a hurricane look, “Even if you are just locked up in the Ministry of Justice, you can’t do it if you are not locked up in the jail. You have to rescue your father quickly…”

Zhou Zheng said, "Don't panic, I'll find a way to meet my father tomorrow and find out what evidence they have."

Zhou Fang frowned, panicked, and said, "No, I have to visit several adults and ask them to come forward..."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Zheng hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! Let's talk about it when I've seen my father tomorrow, otherwise you won't be allowed to leave the house!"

Zhou Fang was furious and said, "I am your elder brother, you have to listen to me!"

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Fang was a little confused, so he stood up and handed him a cup of tea, saying, "You calm down first. If you go out like this, what if you are arrested again? I'm already clearing my relationship. If you can see my father tomorrow, you can go with me."

Zhou Fang looked anxious and frowned when he listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and took the teacup and said, "I'll go early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Zhou Fang had a sip of tea and left anxiously.

Before Zhou Zheng could sit down, Liu Liuzhe hurried in, and there was still a person behind him.

Menghezhou!

Zhou Zheng's eyes changed slightly and he said, "Is something wrong?"

Meng Hezhou stepped forward and said, "Censor Zhou is relieved, no. It is Lord Wei who is preparing to arrest people and exclaim his anger to Censor Zhou. Also, this is Yang Qishou's interrogation record."

Zhou Qingli has been arrested. If Young Master Yang is gone, it will be a loss!

Zhou Zheng took over Yang Qishao’s interrogation record and casually said, “Who will Lao Wei arrest?”

Menghezhou Road "He Qihui."

Zhou Zheng nodded indifferently and looked at the transcript.

He didn't look much, and he was secretly surprised and shocked.

Although Yang Qishao is just an adopted son of the Yang family, he is involved in a lot, with the most salt.

From the collusion between the salt farm and military households, to the salt induction of the Ministry of Revenue, to the management of the Salt Course Department, local relevant departments, even the internal supervision of the palace, the cabinet of the outer court, the middle transport convoy, the canal transport, the post station, to the chambers of commerce of major salt merchants in the local area, etc., it is simply all-inclusive, and every place is penetrated thoroughly!

An invisible large net enveloped the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom!

Zhou Zheng looked at it page by page, shocked in his heart.

He knew that the salt class had been corrupted for a long time, but when he saw these methods, the people and things involved still surprised him and couldn't believe it.

Not to mention any minister, even if Tianqi wants to start the salt class, he will definitely not be able to do it!

This net is too big, covering too many people, too many things, and if it really starts, it will definitely be an extremely terrifying event, and it will be a big event that will turn the world upside down!

People inside are not allowed to be lifted, and people outside are not allowed!

Meng Hezhou has seen it, but there are not many surprises. Looking at Zhou Zheng's changing expression, he said to himself, "This Zhou Jingshi is different from us."

Zhou Zheng watched it for a long time before he finished reading it. He closed his eyes and slowly digested the content.

Therefore, he also had a real understanding of the salt class. The salt class is a bad consequence of the chaos in the officialdom. This bad consequence in turn makes the officialdom more chaotic, promote each other, and go deeper and unable to look back.

‘I can’t save it…’

Zhou Zheng once again determined this idea. It was really difficult to reform from the Ming Dynasty.

Meng Hezhou kept looking at Zhou Zheng, and when his expression calmed down, he said, "Civil Zhou, what do you want me to convey to Lord Wei?"

Zhou Zheng let out a sigh, looked at him, and said, "No need to arrest He Qi, arrest the Ministry of Revenue Qingye, Jiang Ju."

Menghezhou seemed to remember this name and said, "Is there anything special about this person?"

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "He is the person responsible for reviewing the salt and sending it out. He is also the person who collects money from the salt merchants and distributes it to officials at all levels in the court."

Meng Hezhou immediately understood and said, "Okay, should we arrest it tomorrow or now?"

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Catch it on the street tomorrow morning."

Menghezhou said, "Okay, the villain said goodbye."

Zhou Zheng nodded and watched him leave.

Liu Liuzhe was listening, waiting for Meng Hezhou to leave, and said, "Second Young Master, we will arrest people too. Can the master come back?"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have more chips than them, and they have more concerns than us. The master will come back soon."

Zhou Zheng had Yang Qishao in his hand, and Wei Xizhuang's identity, those people had no other way except to be afraid of the rat!

At this stage, it is nothing more than a test and will not be out of line.

Liu Liuzhe expressed his relief and said, "Second Young Master, then go to bed early. I will have to go to the Ministry of Justice to see the master tomorrow."

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, "You go."

Liu Liuzhe said with a hey voice and turned around and went out.

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looking at the interrogation record in front of him, and his heart was still flowing.

The website of Yanke is too big and it is too difficult to move. So, what can he do now? What benefits can he bring to his business plan?

...

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng, Liu Liuzhe, Fu Uncle and others rushed to the Ministry of Justice in a carriage.

The reason why He Qihui made Zhou Zheng see Zhou Qingli was nothing more than putting pressure on him, hoping that Zhou Zheng would submit.

Zhou Zheng and others soon met Zhou Qingli and let go of their hanging hearts at the same time.

They did not abuse Zhou Qingli. The place they lived in was full of books, beds, seats, tea, etc., clean, not like being locked up, but more like a good inn.

Zhou Qingli watched a group of people come in and said without waiting for them to speak, "I'm fine, just take good care of yourself, do more and say less, and don't cause trouble."

Zhou Fang heard Zhou Qingli’s hint and couldn’t help but say, “Dad, are you okay? What did they do to you, right?”

Zhou Qingli nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said, "You didn't do anything, did you?"

Zhou Zheng said concisely and said, "It's okay, it's almost done."

This is the last step for those people. What else can we do? If Zhou Qingli was tortured or even killed, it would be forcing Zhou Zhengyu to defeat him!

Zhou Qingli understood and said, "I'm fine. An adult from the Ministry of Justice yesterday saw me, so there will be no problem."

Zhou Fang was a little puzzled when he heard this, but Zhou Zheng understood that He Qi would be a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, and it was not a big deal to cover the sky. Moreover, it is hard to say whether the Ministry of Justice's position in this matter is biased towards those salt merchants or Wei Xizhuang of the Jiuqiansui family.

Uncle Fu stepped forward and said with concern, "Master, do you want to send you something?"

Zhou Qingli has been with Uncle Fu for more than 20 years, and understood what he meant and said, "No, there is nothing to lack, don't bother."

Uncle Fu didn't say anything anymore.

At this time, He Qi would come in with a smile and said, "How could I treat Brother Zhou badly? We were the same year."

Zhou Qingli looked at him and said to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and others, "Okay, go back early, don't come out and wander around if you have nothing to do."

Zhou Fang had a lot of things in his mind, and knew that it was inconvenient to say here, so he had to say, "Dad, take care of yourself, we will take you home soon."

Zhou Qingli nodded, his expression as calm as usual.

Zhou Zheng and others turned around and left, and He Qi would accompany him with a smile on his face.

Not far away, He Qi would look at Zhou Zheng and say, "Censor Zhou, how many words should I talk about?"

Zhou Zheng stopped and looked at Zhou Fang and others and said, "You guys go back first."

Zhou Fang frowned, without saying much, and left with great strides.

After the person left, He Qihui laughed with Zhou Zheng and said, "Civil Zhou, Ling Zun will be in court tomorrow. What do you think?"

He Qi would be smiling, with a proud look on his face, and a cold threat that could not be concealed.

Zhou Zheng dared to speak, suddenly a chief clerk rushed over and glanced at Zhou Zheng. He Qihui said in a low voice, "Sir, Lord Jiang has been arrested."

He Qihui was stunned and said, "Which Lord Jiang?"

The chief clerk looked at Zhou Zheng again and said, "Jiang Yu from the Ministry of Revenue was captured by the Jinyiwei in the street and taken to the imperial prison."

He Qi's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened at Zhou Zheng.

Young Master Yang Qi is just a salt merchant, everything is okay, but Jiang Qi is different!

He is the Minister of the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Revenue. He is responsible for the issuance of salt quotas and the entry and exit of salt merchants' silver. He is a very critical figure!

Moreover, it is time to distribute salt induced goods this year!

Jiang Zhi cannot be misunderstood!

He Qihui's smile disappeared, his face turned pale, and he stared at Zhou Zheng and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, you are playing with fire!"

Zhou Zheng approached him a little, stared at him coldly, and said, "I will see my father at home tonight. My friends are going to regain their posts, my shop is going to return to normal, and all my people are going to be put back. Also, my patience is limited. If you continue to play tricks, I will catch you next one!"
