Chen Hao said the word "kill" lightly, but it made everyone present feel a hint of coldness sweeping around. For a moment, the atmosphere of the government office once again dropped to the extreme. This time, it made people feel stagnant, but also made people feel a cold murderous intent fill the entire court.

Pei Shi only now knew what it means to have to bow his head under the eaves. Chen Hao, who went deep into Yangzhou, cut out the Huainan Jiedushi and the military supervisor while chatting and laughing. Now this is the place under this person's jurisdiction, what can he, the Duke of Jin, do now?

Now it can be said that people are the slaughter and I am the fish. He can only face the difficulties and counterattack them. So he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Pei will come and listen to Lord Chen's trial today. However, Lord Chen will pay the price you deserve for your actions today!"

"Xie Pei Shangshu mentioned that I have always been in a good manner, but I don't ask for a clear conscience but a frank and open-minded person. What will happen to me in the future? However, I have never been afraid of the clown?" Chen Hao did not give in to Pei Shi's threatening words and rejected them in a tit-for-tat way.

Pei Shi snorted coldly and did not argue, then returned to the court to sit down. At this time, the court returned to its previous appearance. Pei Shi said in the first words: "Since Lord Chen insisted on trying this case, please provide the evidence you deserve!"

"Of course, as Shangshu Pei wished!" Chen Hao said, patting his hands gently, and then six people came from the back hall of the government office. Among them, the two holding many accounts were Li Shangyin and Fang Feng, while the other four were dressed in businessmen.

"Your Majesty, the official was ordered to review the accounts of various places of the Pei family. Finally, it was counted today. Please read it!" Li Shangyin submitted a book of accounts that were calculated into the book.

"Your Majesty, the official was ordered to conduct a detailed review of the accounts that were randomly inspected by the Pei family. Now the book is compiled. Please read it!" Fang Feng respectfully submitted a book to the public case.

Before Chen Hao could speak, Pei Zhuan suddenly stood up, pointed to the stack of account books in Fang Feng's hand, and shouted angrily: "Mr. Chen, how can my Pei family account books be in your hands? Lord. You broke into a private house and stole other people's personal belongings. Is there really no king's law?"

Pei Shi also looked dark and said, "Mr. Chen, your move is a violation of the law! My Pei family is not a private house and let you break in private!"

"So what? I just broke through, what can you do to me?" Chen Hao ignored the rebukes from the Pei brothers, and still looked at the two of them with harmless looks.

"I want to submit a memorial to impeach you..." Pei Zhu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He was so angry that he was helpless by the scoundrel response like Chen Hao.

Seeing that Pei Shi wanted to help his brother Pei Zhuan, Chen Hao took the lead and said, "Okay, it's not too late to impeach me again when Mr. Pei!"

As he said that, he ignored the two of them and looked at Li Shangyin and Fang Feng: "Do you two get something after checking the accounts?"

Li Shangyin replied solemnly: "Mr. Hui, Xiaguan and Lord Fang compared the accounts of the two parties. Whether it is land, property, tax, or the profit overview of the shops... However, there was an additional account in the account book that Lord Fang checked, and Xiaguan did not have a record of this account in the account book of Peijia Business..."

"Oh? What is the account?" Chen Hao asked the two of them in doubt.

Fang Feng responded respectfully at this moment: "Your Majesty, this account is mixed with many accounts, and is named Lu Chenmin. The subordinates are talented and knowledgeable. However, it is estimated that tens of thousands of taels of money are earned every year, so please make a clear decision..."

After the two of them reported, Chen Hao asked: "Old Pei, can you tell me what Lu Chenmin is?"

"Hmph! I don't know, even if I know, so what, it's related to the case that the adults investigate? My Pei family now has many businesses, and the Salt Administration Department has issued a salt supply and marketing department. The Salt Administration Department has its own review..." Pei's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Chen Hao just uttered softly, and then said to himself: "It's okay? Since Mr. Pei doesn't want to tell me that I will not force me, I have my own methods..."

He said here, looking at the four people dressed by another merchant: "Are the four major salt merchants in Henan Province?"

"That's right!" the four of them responded in unison.

"Can you distribute the excess salt business to the Pei family?" Chen Hao asked sarcastically.

Chen Hao's question all denied that salt affairs are a huge industry, and how could a businessman take advantage of this opportunity to give it to others for no reason? Furthermore, salt affairs are official sales, so naturally the Salt Administration Department controls...

After asking the four people, Chen Hao then said: "Since the four salt merchants did not distribute the Pei family, and the amount of salt supplied and sold by the Salt Administration Department is the same as the Pei family's accounts..."

Pei Shi interrupted Chen Hao at this time: "Since that's the case, why bother yourself? My Pei family must not sell private salt, go and be that salt owl!"

"Pei Shangshu, you are wrong. This is why it is enough to make it clear that your Pei family is a salt owl hidden in Henan Prefecture!" Chen Hao shook his head and looked at the Pei brothers sarcastically.

"Sir, you..." Pei Shi couldn't help but feel trembling when Chen Hao said this. He was about to argue, but was interrupted by Chen Hao: "Don't think that I don't understand the method of dismantling the characters. This Lu Chenmin is just a homophone for Lu Chen. And this Lu Chenchuan happens to form a word that is not complete (salt) salt. This unknown account is the account of your Pei family's private salt seller!"

hiss……

This time, Pei Shi was quite surprised. Although he was not very clear about what his brother did, he couldn't believe that his elder brother had always been upright and actually did such a thing that violated the law of the king. Although he had heard of it before, he just acted as a greedy person for his juniors. Now he has earned nearly 10,000 taels of silver this year, which is definitely a big number. If he had not had his brother's acquiescent, how could he have made the scale of private salt so large?

Pei Shi looked at Pei Zhu with a confirmation look, hoping that Pei Zhu would give him a negative answer. However, when he looked at his brother Pei Zhu, he understood that what Chen Hao said was true. But at this moment he still had to argue for his brother, because he didn't want his brother to be unpreserved in his later years: "My lord's difference in this statement is nothing more than your own speculation, and there is no real evidence!"

However, Chen Hao was not surprised at Pei Shi's rebuttal, but gently picked up the file on the table and said, "Shangshu Pei, here is the list of the six-way salt owls that your Pei family secretly sold. Do I need to verify one by one?"

Pei Zhu looked at Chen Hao with an incredible look, shook his head and said to himself: "This is impossible? This is impossible..."

"Impossible? Mr. Pei, there is nothing impossible in this world. This official can make the Pei family shops eroded, and the merchants and tycoons withdraw their investments, so that the true form of these salt owls can be revealed. What I did before is just to make you, the head of the Pei family, panic. At that time, your two incompetent sons will naturally let me find a breakthrough..."
