A news that seemed ordinary to others, but was so shocked that Lu Yi had not been able to return to God suddenly came - just over half a month ago, when the father of Yu Qian, a senior official, Yu Yanzhao, died of illness.At this time, Yu Qian, who was still in charge of Henan Province, immediately expressed his resignation to the court.

What was feared before Lu Wei still happened, and after learning of his father's death, although the emperor was retained several times, Yu Qian still insisted on returning home to guard the filial piety of the deceased father.Finally, due to filial piety, the court temporarily allowed him to resign as governor of Henan and return to Hangzhou for mourning.

This news did not cause much fluctuation in the officialdom, because for the officials or readers of this era, it was natural for the filial piety of the deceased parents, especially the father's three-year-old, but the officials who allowed them to be bribed by the sons of heaven were different in their eyes.

Only Lu Yi felt a wave of anxiety and anxiety.Once Yu Qian left the officialdom, what will happen in Beijing when the havoc comes two years later?After the defeat of countless Ming Wenwu elites in the civil castle, there is no the last pillar of the Qian, and the world of the Ming Dynasty is likely to collapse!

But at this time, he was not even an official, and naturally he could not control the mind of the court or the court, but he could only pray that God would introduce everything back into the right track.

Just as he was worried about the future of Damien, Ching-Gre, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him that night.

At that time, Lu Wei was walking back and forth in the yard, wondering if he could send a letter to Hu Yu, and asked him to come forward and let Tianzi return to Qianzi.However, how this letter should be written, but it makes him feel embarrassed, after all, this is such a big thing in the DPRK, but it is not that he can be casually reconciled with such a deposed person.

Just then, with a loud voice, a figure quickly rolled over from outside the wall, really scaring Lu Wei.It was not until he saw that it was Chingler that he was relieved: “How did you come here?”But did you find anything?”For many days, Qinggrad looked at it at this time, it was much black and thinner than before, and obviously did not suffer less.

"It disturbs the adults."Chingler smiled a little apologetically, then nodded: "It is precisely that the little man and Brother Lin after this period of time and undercover visits, finally found some clues and evidence."

"Oh?"Listen to it.”The face of the earth was full of joy, and the worry in the heart was swept away.Now he is in Suzhou, and there is no official, and the matter in the court is no longer worrying, it is better to focus on himself.

Since the ambush laid before has played a role, then throw away the happy things first, and deal with the strict family!

It turned out that Lin Li and Qingle disappeared during this time, but disguised into the canal, and the Yan family related industries, in order to find his family and other handles such as the comptoir.

Whether it is the understanding of the matter of the movement before passing through, or some of the circumstances heard about when he later became an official in Hangzhou, Lu Wei can be sure that in addition to the legal accidents, there are other unspeakable things in the matter of the Yanjia, who have collusion with the Cao Gang.

In fact, in a sense, this is an open secret in the officialdom.Because the government needs local forces such as the help of the government and the Yan family to help themselves transport taxes and goods, and the latter is also in order to strengthen their own strength and make enough benefits.

Because this is a mutually beneficial business, so for the practice of such people as Yanjia, the government is mostly open and closes its eyes and only disappears.Of course, all this is also a degree, once more than a certain degree, or by the heart of the prosecution of the disclosure, and out of evidence, the official government can only break the wrist, abandon the car.

After turning back to his room and offering a cup of hot tea to Chingler, Lu said again: "What you have found, hurry to say."

Chingler took the tea, thanked him, only then said: "Adult, in fact, as early as soon as we entered the commercial business there, we have been aware that they are on weekdays are not taxed goods, such as tea and satin, in Suzhou Province, the mixed matter of the goods sent to other counties in other counties.However, these are not only his strict family, but also other businessmen who are closely related to the gang and the Caoyunmen are doing it, and even if they get the evidence, it is difficult to really hurt their bones, so I did not let Brother Lin come to the newspaper."

He said, “You’re doing well.Even if this thing can really cure the sins of his strict family, in the case of the large and small businessmen in Suzhou City today, we cannot expose it.Otherwise, too many people will be offended.”He is not a false statement, because such tax evasion and trading has gained a lot, which makes the wise southeast merchants, but any way, will take this road to get rich quickly.Moreover, these people must have already colluded with the government, and if Lu Wei uncovers this lid, there are too many people who offend.

Don't say that he is now just a master of the official, even if he has an official position, in the case of so many good things and futures, he is afraid that he will be swallowed up by this huge force.

Seeing Lu Wei said that, Qinggrad's heart was greatly appreciated, and he did indeed follow the right person, although he was not old, but his mind was quite cautious and detailed.Then he said, “So we continue to be patient in our search for other incriminations.”Just yesterday, we found something even worse.”

“But what is it?”Lu Yi immediately sat upright and asked with some concern.He heard from Chingler's words that things were not ordinary, and his heart beat suddenly a little faster.

“It’s salt, take the salt of the north!”Although Qingle said that the words were very light, they were a thousand words, and they let Lu Wei froze for a while: “Are they really so bold?”

The Central Plains Dynasty has implemented a salt-iron franchise system since the Han Dynasty.Of course, this system was strictly controlled by the court, and only some of the goods sold by the merchants recognized by the government were not only salt and iron, such as horses, such as tea, and even wine in the Song Dynasty, which required the approval of the official government.

However, no matter how it changes, this salt and steel that can make weapons has always been strictly controlled by the government.However, the more strictly the court has control over this, the higher the benefits it can generate.Under the temptation of great interests, there are naturally countless people who go to the next place and take risks.

Steel is not too big demand, and it is not a matter of dealing with foreign or rebellious people, but this salt is something that ordinary people lack.So in the past, there is no lack of private salt dealers anywhere.

Although all the courts have strictly cracked down on trafficking in private salt, especially in the Ming Dynasty, it has set a severe punishment for death if more than 50 pounds of private salt is sold privately, it is still difficult to stop this culture.The southeast coast, and some well-infused salt, are always trying to take the salt out and sell it to the north.

And now, the family actually moved to this thing and so on to lose their head, which really can't help but let Lu Wei be shocked.Do they really think that no one dares to care about them?

As long as this is revealed, as long as it is verified, then I am afraid that no one can save them.

After a moment, he asked, “Do you understand?”What salt?”This question is not that Lu Wei did not believe in Qinggler, it was because things were too big, he had to treat it carefully.

Chingler also looked back cautiously, then nodded: "This is not wrong, because my brother Lin and I stole into a few ships last night to check, and repeatedly confirmed."The merchant ships that will leave the Suzhou Canal Terminal the next day are used for the ballast, and the salt is used in the ballast.”

Hearing this, Lu Yi took a cold breath again: "What a great courage, a big hand!"

In general, large cargo ships travel rivers and lakes will put heavy objects in the bottom compartment to ensure their own stability.And the ballast is usually just a very large amount of stone.Some merchant ships smuggled, and some untaxed goods instead of ballast stones, as long as the government did not strictly check, it would have passed.

But now, the Yan family is actually bold enough to get private salt to the ballast, it is not an ordinary trafficking of private salt at most only a hundred pounds of the amount.In the size of the strict merchant ship, a few boats added together are afraid that thousands of pounds of private salt will leave the Suzhou dock.This is enough to kill their whole family a hundred times in the face of the decree of the Ming Ming!

In a sense, once the Yan family is allowed to do this business, they are no longer ordinary salt dealers, but can be called salt fir.

After lamenting, Lu Wei could not help but mutter: "So much private salt, but where did they get it from?"

“This, we can’t find out.We also found out that there was private salt on board the ship.”Ching-Gre shook his head.

Lu Wei is no longer entangled in this, as long as the Yan family's boat is buckled down and found that there is indeed private salt, so you are afraid that you can't ask the history of these private salts from their mouths?

Thinking about it, he raised his teacup and said, “Well done.”This time, you have not only helped me, but also helped the government.If this salt is really shipped to the north, it will cause more trouble.”

"Adults are over-reputation, this is just two little people's luck."Chingler was busy and humbled, and at the same time raised a glass.

But before they could drink a cup of tea or wine, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, which made the eyebrows of Qinggrad stand suddenly, and between the hands, a short knife had fallen into the right palm, and then the body had leaned toward the door.

Lu Wei's heart is also mentioned: Is it the strict family who has noticed their identity, so they have been chased all the way to kill and want to destroy their mouths?

Just as the two were ready to start, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door: "Adult, Chingler, something happened at the dock!"But Lin Li also came back.
