this……

Yan Ne heard this question and was speechless.

How could this case involving 10,000 stones of private salt be caused by a salt dealer? It will definitely involve many forces, and even some court officials are involved.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Bo secretly.

Yang Bo looked ahead, and there was no expression on his face, and he looked solemn.

"Good means!"

Wu Shan secretly breathed a breath of turbid air when he learned the whole story.

I thought Lin Xu Jie was caught by the old fox Xu Jie, and Lin Xu Ran was probably doomed. However, he never expected that Lin Xu Ran had already planned and even threw out a plan at the last moment.

King bomb.

His concubine's goods were robbed, which was simply an excuse, or it was a good show directed and acted by him from the beginning. He used this as a reason to suppress bandits and then mobilized Songjiang Guards and secretly mobilized Zhenhai Guards, thus making a move.

Taken off Chongming Island.

When everyone was paying attention to him overcoming military power, he also successfully diverted the attention of all parties, and then built a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang.

However, it is actually not easy to accomplish this. We must ensure that the news cannot be leaked, and we must seize the opportunity to seize Chongming Island, so that the smuggled ships can be intercepted in one fell swoop.

Now, Lin Qingran successfully intercepted this ten thousand stones of private salt. Not only did he find out the cancer that poisoned Huai Salt, but he would also win the emperor's greater trust and allow him to rectify Huai Salt's salt administration with greater ease.

Most importantly, the previous attacks by Xu Jie and others became a big joke.

"Your Majesty, this matter has never been heard of. It is definitely not something that the vendors can do. Please investigate this case thoroughly!" Xu Jie immediately judged the change in the situation and was the first to express his opinion.

"Please investigate this case thoroughly!" Yang Bo and Yan Ne immediately reacted and agreed with a clear attitude.

The three people who were just shouting and killing Lin Qingran suddenly changed their style. At this moment, the three of them never mentioned Lin Qingran's affairs, and they were already pointing their fingers at the fingertips.

The gang behind the private salt.

Huang Jin looked at these three important officials who were changing their minds, but he sighed in his heart. If we talk about the thickness of his face, these big men in the court would recognize the second place, no one would dare to recognize the first place.

Feng Bao smiled proudly and looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with pride.

Jiajing's anger was largely aimed at the group behind the private salt. At this time, seeing the three important officials expressing their common hatred of the enemy, the anger on his face slightly dissipated.

He picked up the eight hundred miles of rush again and said to the four important officials in front of him: "Do you know where the source of the private salt is?"

"Please be clear to you, the emperor!" Xu Jie and others naturally pretended not to know and bowed.

Jiajing's eyes fell to the four people, and finally spit out three words: "Changlu Salt!"

The Ming Dynasty divided the salt production areas into several, and divided the salt produced in different salt areas into different sales areas. For example, salt in Guangdong can only be sold in eastern Guangdong and central Guangdong, while salt in northern Guangdong is in western Guangdong and Guangxi.

Fujian salt can only be sold in Fujian.

In addition to the natural factor of monopoly, the price of salt also depends on the consumption capacity of local people. For example, Haibei salt has a high output, but the consumption capacity of the people faced with low consumption capacity, its price is far inferior to Huaiyan.

Changlu was originally a tributary of the ancient Zhang River. It was named after the many reeds on both sides. The Hejian Salt Transportation Department of Beiping was first established, and the next year it was renamed Hejian Changludu Salt Transportation Department. In the early years of Yongle, it was directly called Changlu.

All transported the salt department.

The salt-producing areas are mainly on the west coast of the Bohai Sea, with a total of 24 salt fields, with the highest proportion of quality and output in the Tianjin area.

Changlu salt belongs to the younger brother. The output of salt is good, but the price is far inferior to Huai and Zhejiang salt. If Changlu salt can be sold to the prosperous Southeast, it would be a considerable profit.

The most important thing is that you can take the sea route directly from the west coast of the Bohai Sea, and the transportation cost is very low.

However, if you want to smuggle from the sea, you will definitely not be able to avoid the Tianjin Three Guards who are in charge of the Bohai Sea coastal defense and the Tianjin Supreme Military Chief of Tianjin. This coastal defense force controls the sea route of transport.

"I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly for the emperor, and I will definitely bring the truth to the truth!" Yang Bo's forehead had already seen a lot of sweat, and he looked loyal and polite.

Xu Jie and Yan Ne glanced at Yang Bo secretly. The Minister of War had already penetrated Tianjin Wei, and the Tianjin General was also the one he provided. But he didn't know whether the Minister of War was deceived or was actually involved.

.

But this is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Zhejiang merchants have their spokespersons, Hui merchants also engage in the combination of official and businessmen. Shanxi merchants also rely on Yang Bo in many places.

Even if Yang Bo did not participate, the people behind him could use his influence to open the door to Tianjin and transport Changlu salt to the southeast to make huge profits.

"Then it will be a good idea for Yang Aiqing to thoroughly investigate Changlu salt! Who provided Changlu salt and who opened the door of convenience? These must be thoroughly investigated!" Jiajing did not reject Yang Bo's request, but directly asked.

Ask for it.

"I accept the order!" Yang Bo seemed murderous and immediately assured.

Jiajing knew that the southeast was the biggest hidden danger, so he looked at Xu Jie and asked: "Ge Lao Xu, there are many people involved in this case. Who do you think should go south to investigate this case?"

"The two masters don't need to work for one matter. I think the left deputy chief censor Lin Yueran can investigate and deal with it, and then send a deputy envoy to help!" Xu Jie knew that this moment would seem selfless, so he immediately said honestly.

Jiajing nodded slightly, then looked at Wu Shan and asked, "Wu Aiqing, who do you think can serve as the deputy envoy?"

When Xu Jie and others heard this question, they looked at Wu Shan with a very uncomfortable feeling. They all rely on their father-in-law or teacher, but this person turned around and was actually benefiting from his son-in-law and disciple.

"I think Gao Gong, the Minister of Taichang Temple, can take on this responsibility!" Wu Shan thought for a moment, and immediately recommended.

Huh?

When Xu Jie heard this candidate, he looked at Wu Shan in surprise. It was not that this person was inappropriate, but that Gao Gong was a third-rank official with a senior qualification than Lin Junran, but he acted as a deputy to Lin Junran.

"Then you ask!" Jiajing didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed, then waved to the four of them, "Okay, you all go down!"

"I'm asking for my leave!" Xu Jie and others breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed respectfully to thank him.

After the four of them finished their salutes, they left Wanshou Palace together. Just looking at the dazzling sunshine outside, Xu Jie and the other three felt uncomfortable, but they had just come out of the Hall of Yama.

But I never thought that not only did I not put Lin Qiran to death, but instead slapped Lin Qiran loudly.

This news is destined to cause an uproar in the court and the country. Lin Weiran, who has been "doing nothing" in Huainan, did not want to suddenly throw out a royal bomb. The smuggling case of a total of 10,000 stones was not only exchanged for the emperor's greater trust.

, which added a glorious touch to his resume.

"The young man is so terrifying!"
