eldest son of Ming dynasty

In the Ming Dynasty when eunuchs caused disasters and the government was relatively chaotic, there was basically a premise that the eunuchs took advantage of the emperor's trust in him, and the imperial power actually became a protective umbrella for these people to cause chaos, or the emperor himself abused the imperial power.

At this time, no matter how other people have a way, they can only try their best to turn around under this premise.

On the other hand, that is the current situation.

Those who benefit can actually do little, but no one will easily accept their tragic ending and fate.

As the direct exerciser of imperial power, Ye Kan will definitely face such a force.

In fact, when he was not out of the capital, there were always people talking, just like the father-in-law sitting opposite him at this time asked,
"I don't know Ye Qianhu, how to handle this case?"

These questions are very annoying, but the identity of the other party makes Ye Kan jealous, the factory guard family, people in the palace are always not easy to offend.

"Naturally, the case is handled according to the imperial decree."

The person who came was wearing a black cloak, with his face hidden inside, "The imperial decree is to investigate those who sell illegal salt, so naturally those who sell are arrested, and those who don't sell are not arrested."

Ye Kan nodded, "Elder-in-law is right, that's the reason."

"Yes, yes, you have to be reasonable in life and doing things. However, Ye Qianhu came to Yangzhou, and his majesty is really enviable to our family. It is said outside that Ye Qianhu is now the living king of Yangzhou City. You If anyone sells it, no one can stop selling it."

"Eunuch has someone to protect?"

Ye Kan's words are direct and naturally sound comfortable.

The man lifted his black hat and revealed his face.Looking closely, he looked a little old, the skin on his face was wrinkled and dark, and he didn't have a beard.

Ye Kan's face looks familiar, he's seen it before in the palace.

"Our family doesn't have it. Up there."

"But you can't tell your subordinates, can you?"

After the new king came to the throne, the control of the officials such as the Lijian, the Yumajian, and the internal officials became stricter, and in the civil service system there was Wang Hua who was "corrupting ink" in Zhejiang,
So now people are cautious.

Can't say the name easily.

There is also a policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. What if Ye Kan turns around and complains when he mentions it here?
"Ye Qianhu knows the situation in the palace. Our family really can't say the name. You just need to say what you need? Whether it can be done or not, our family will definitely do our best."

"Then can I ask a question. If I can't keep it, what will I have to face?"

The father-in-law shook his head, "Our family doesn't want to do this, and Ye Qianhu certainly doesn't want to do this either."

"Father-in-law, it's not that Ye wants to do this. It's that in Yangzhou City, besides the Criminal Office of the Northern Division, there is also the Internal Guard Office of the Southern Division. You also know that Deputy Envoy Han and Deputy Envoy Mao are still competing. , something happened, not to mention Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Mao could have skinned me."

"It's up to our family to talk about Deputy Envoy Mao's side."

Ye Kan tilted his head slightly, thinking what are you bragging about.

Don't give me a name, just want me to take such a risk.

If all these things must be protected, then wouldn't he have to protect a cat or a dog?

So he kicked the ball directly, "If my father-in-law can talk to Deputy Envoy Mao, why bother to come to me? How dare Ye Mou refuse to obey Deputy Envoy Mao's words?"

The father-in-law squinted his eyes, which meant something.

"Ye Qianhu, this case covers a wide range of areas. If the wrong person is arrested, we can't afford it."

"As for my father-in-law, Ye can be late for a few days, but in the end whether to keep it or not depends on whether Deputy Mao will open his mouth. Also, if the father-in-law can talk about the internal guard, then Ye has no objection."

Of course people like Gu Zuo are still in the minority.

For Ye Kan, as long as it doesn't affect his work, he doesn't resist the part that can be operated flexibly.

The key is the inner guard.

The one surnamed Luo is also in Yangzhou.

The father-in-law on the opposite side asked, "Where are the people from the inner guard?"

"I don't know." Ye Kan shook his head.

"It is said that Nansi has a secret intelligence department. There won't be people from them in the Yunsi Yamen, right?"

Unfortunately, Ye Kan still shook his head, "I don't know."

"Do not know at all?"

This question is contemptuous.Ye Kan was upset, he raised his brows, "Elder-in-law is also from the palace, I don't know what kind of emperor His Majesty is?"

The inner guard is so low-key,

Was it His Majesty's instruction? How would they know?

Thinking about it this way, this father-in-law doesn't blame Ye Kan so much. The matter in Yangzhou really needs a "certain face" to make Ye Kan take risks.

But anyway, he still left two names.

At dawn the next day, Yangzhou City was somewhat deserted.But the poor people can't manage so much, and they can't afford to delay their small business for a day, so they still go out to set up stalls.

Luo Chenglin went to the side of the road to eat tofu nao, and his eyes were fixed on the gate of Yunsi Yamen.

Having done this kind of work a lot, he is used to looking at the surrounding environment, and he can tell the smell here just by looking at it.

"... That guy Ye Kan has become the Emperor of the Earth, and now all the Gods of Wealth in Yangzhou are queuing up to see him, and they all send people to watch him."

"It seems that there are people from the palace." The subordinate sitting opposite him said.

Luo Chenglin was surprised, "Oh? How did you see that?"

"Someone came last night, and then my people followed, and finally entered Gaoji Cloth Shop. There are people from the Needlework Bureau and Banking Bureau in the Palace."

"you sure?"

"Definitely. The eunuchs are greedy for the benefits, and they have released people here for a while."

Seeing Luo Chenglin pondering, the subordinate asked: "Qianhu, do you want to report this to Deputy Envoy Han?"

"want!"

He and Han Ziren are good friends, and he must let him know if he has such a discovery. As for whether to report it to the emperor, that is Han Ziren's consideration.But the matter will not be concealed from him, Luo Chenglin, otherwise how can he be at ease?
On the other side,
Ye Kan didn't get any good news either.

They still haven't found the people in the inner guard.

But this group of people must have entered Yangzhou.

"I can't control that much anymore, start arresting people."

In fact, there is more than one father-in-law who wants to follow his path?
But he himself is also under pressure. If there is no movement after arriving in Yangzhou, it will be a big deal if it reaches the emperor's ears.

They came from the capital and had a list in hand.

With a list, what is there to hesitate?
When they got to the door, someone came to report, "Ye Qianhu, someone gave you a lot of money and wanted to see you."

Snapped!
Ye Kan slapped this subordinate without hesitation.

At this time, you can succumb to power, but you cannot succumb to money.Don't even think about why people give you money for no reason.

"Seeing this officer at this time, what good can you do? Let him go! If you have nothing to do, stay at home, and if you have something to do, this officer will take the initiative to find him!"

Speaking of which, Ye Kan guessed something again, "Did you take the money?"

The subordinates lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Send it back."

I can't find it in an internal guard, and the cashier is happy.How can Ye Kan be happy?
In the alley outside the yamen, Yu Mingquan sat in a sedan chair and waited anxiously.

Finally, seeing a group of Jin Yiwei leaving the yamen, my heart couldn't help but sink.

Then, the side door opened, and a small wooden box that could be lifted with one hand was also brought out.

"No! Take your things and go back!"

The servants led by Yu Mingquan were annoyed at seeing these people so proud, and they were even more surprised when they took the wooden box in their hands, because the weight was wrong.

He opened it immediately and exclaimed to his owner, "It's actually half missing!"

"It's just money, it's nothing. The matter is done, but it's not done. Let's take half of it. Let's go back."

Tao Du, the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, has been arrested, and Jin Yiwei is interrogating him.

I'm also catching people today,

Life is almost gone, do you still care about a little money?
But Yu Mingquan felt strange.

It seems that Jin Yiwei this time is as greedy for money as those in the past, but why is money not easy to use?

Now these people gave him a feeling that he didn't dare to accept from top to bottom, but he didn't know where it was different.

On the way,

Ye Kan's subordinates have been telling him about the situation of the person to be arrested today,

"...This person is a distant relative of the Marquis of Yongkang. If the blood relationship is estranged, he is more careful than the close one. So the Marquis of Yongkang has gradually increased his trust in him, and the money on the salt is also important to the Marquis, so this People who are far away and loyal have become the best choice."

"Unlucky." Ye Kan said so.

Because the salt merchant recruited by the Marquis of Yongkang was also named Ye, named Ye Qijun.

In the past, with the background of Master Hou, it was really majestic, but now that Master Hou is gone, do you think it is ignorant?

People in Jinyiwei are no strangers to arresting people.

Hundreds of people rushed into the mansion, first all of them were taken out and all knelt down, and then the house was ransacked and the mansion was sealed.

Ye Qijun was also tied up and sent to Ye Kan,
"There is only a woman in the family, no son," Ye Kan said with a smile, "I received bad news from Marquis Yongkang in advance, so I let my son slip away, right?"

"A villain only has daughters, but no sons." These words were answered coldly.

After a while,

A hundred households came to report, "Qianhu, the cellar has been opened, but there is no money, only two boxes of salt!"

Ye Kan caught fire.

He must find more money, because salt merchants are rich in everyone's concept. If these people are arrested and these houses are copied, they will not find a lot of money in the end.
How did he explain to Deputy Envoy Mao, and how did Deputy Envoy Mao explain to the emperor?
Will the emperor suspect that they are the ones who have tampered with it.

Especially when he met the father-in-law in the palace.

Therefore, these things in Yangzhou are best to be sent up with a memorial, and dozens of boxes of silver are also carried to the treasury, and the emperor will say that he knows.

Otherwise, with long nights and many dreams, who knows what will happen? !

Ye Kan stretched out his hand to pinch the rich businessman's chin, "You guys usually look good, but at this time, I want to see if you are a man."

Ye Qijun looked very understanding, and he said: "They are all working for others. You and I both know that we don't get much. Even if we have, they are all sent to Yongkang Houfu. Besides, Your Majesty has an order. Use torture! Do you dare to disobey the imperial decree?"

Ye Kan sneered, "The imperial decree says that the sale of private salt is not allowed, did you hear me? How dare a lowly businessman with no official status mention the imperial decree to me?"

To tell the truth, Ye Kan can accept few people. Anyway, if dozens of people are arrested, how can the court pursue it if there is one less person?
But the cellar is empty, which is absolutely not okay.

"Interesting, it's really like the court can't catch them."
