Gao Sachs Liang was speechless for a long time. Cold sweat dripped onto the floor tiles, and soon a small water stain formed.

Gu Yuchen watched him silently without saying anything. The atmosphere in the imperial study room was extremely depressing. Even Zhao Xi was sucking in his stomach at the moment and staring directly at the tips of his shoes.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a moment had passed. Gao Shengliang was soaked in cold sweat. He tried hard to regain his senses and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, calm down, sir..."

Gu Yuchen said leisurely: "Think about it before you speak."

Goldman Sachs Liang's mouth tightened again.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yuchen knew that he was not a good person, but what should he do? His manpower was so small to begin with, and now Xie Changshi was still asking him for people, including the governor of Mobei and the prefect of Qingzhou. Important positions cannot be assigned casually.

Xiaoliu said in the letter that the injury to the governor of Gyeongju was still being kept secret from the outside world for the time being, as he was afraid that it would no longer be possible to hide it after the salt ignition period passed...

Gu Yuchen's fingers kept tapping on the table, and suddenly the conversation changed and he looked at Zhao Xi, whose face was a little blue from holding back: "Zhao Xi, in the investigation of the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did Yan Yin mentioned in the investigation? Something strange?"

With this cry, Zhao Xi was deflated, and his stomach returned to its original state with a pop. His face gradually turned from green to red: "Back to the emperor, no."

No?

When he was a prince, everyone in the Ministry of Justice was his own people. Especially when Zhang Yuankai was involved in the interrogation of the former Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the result of the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice was all right, could it be that the previous Minister of the Ministry of Finance had done all the bad things, but Yan Yin did not do anything? Hands and feet?
"Let the Minister of Punishment come in."

Zhao Xi trotted out to deliver the message. After the order was delivered, he took a few deep breaths.

The emperor is so terrifying when he is angry...

But as a general manager, you have to face the difficulties head on when faced with such a terrifying thing.

Zhao Xi stood outside the door with his head lowered, deciding to wait until the Minister of Punishment arrived before going in together.

Without Zhao Xi here, Gao Shengliang only felt more depressed. He kept licking his lips and said after a while: "Your Majesty, I vaguely heard that the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue mentioned that the person specifically responsible for the Yanyin incident was Zhang Langzhong."

Zhang Langzhong, whose real name is Zhang Si, can be regarded as an old man in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but his ability is relatively mediocre. He has been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for decades. If nothing else, doctor Zhang was the highest position he held before becoming an official.

But now it seems that maybe this man's mediocrity was deliberately displayed to everyone.

In such an inconspicuous position, even if something happened to the household department, no one would immediately suspect him.

But it is impossible to say that the former Minister of Revenue absolutely did not know about this.

Gu Yuchen quickly began to worry, fearing that the previous Minister of Hubu had already arranged a way out for his family after he ascended the throne, and sacrificed his own life in exchange for the safety of his family and the care of the King of Chu.

As soon as the Minister of Punishment came in, Gu Yuchen quickly made arrangements. After a while, the Minister of Punishment went out. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he took the lead in arresting Zhang Si. He also looked through the files of the previous Minister of Hubu, and he was bound to dig out them. Find out what they have overlooked.

Gao Sachs Liang was kneeling on the ground the whole time. At this moment, his knees felt like there were tens of millions of ants crawling on them. It hurt, itched, and was extremely uncomfortable.

After almost half an hour, Gu Yuchen's eyes fell on him again: "The salt yin will be distributed soon. Who is the trading company in Mobei that is qualified to buy salt yin?" Gao Sachs Liang's thoughts turned over and over again. Suddenly, I understood why the emperor asked about Yan Yin at this stall. It must be related to King Wen.

But Gao Sachs Liang didn't know that King Wen was also doing business in Mobei. He thought that King Wen had found some clues that were not conducive to the Ministry of Revenue, and the veins on his forehead suddenly jumped.

He has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for a year. If anything really happened that was not conducive to the Ministry of Revenue, he would definitely not be able to get away with the crime of oversight.

Goldman Sachs Liang whispered: "Li Ji Trading Company. Li Ji Trading Company has been buying salt for five or six years. Judging from the account books, no problems have been found."

Gu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "No problem, that's the biggest problem. Thoroughly investigate the procedures that Liji Trading Company has followed to buy salt yin in the past few years, how much salt yin was purchased, and at which salt farm it was redeemed."

Gao Shengliang responded in a low voice and slowly exited the imperial study.

After the door of the imperial study room was closed, he couldn't help but look up at the starry sky. His racing heart finally calmed down. He slowly exhaled a breath of filthy air under the surprised eyes of Eunuch Ran.

From the moment the emperor was about to start a thorough investigation of a trading house in Mobei, Goldman Sachs Liang knew that the liquidation in Mobei had begun.

Mobei Army Huo Qiyuan and Huo Jiajun are almost a taboo in Sang Chao's court. No one dares to mention them, even when the new emperor ascends the throne.

Was the destruction of the Huo family army really just caused by the seizure of heirs as they seemed on the surface?
No, it’s the master who has great achievements!
It was because the late emperor believed that Mobei only knew about the Huo Family Army but not about Emperor Sang Dynasty, and also because he believed that Beidi would not dare to invade for at least ten years, and he had ten years to rebuild a "Huo Family Army".

But obviously the former emperor did not expect that he would die suddenly, and the new emperor obviously had a good impression of Huo Jiajun...

Gao Shengliang was about to leave when the door to the royal study suddenly opened. Zhao Xi stepped out and saw a surprised look on his face: "Gao Shangshu, it's a good thing you didn't leave. I have something to ask you."

Gao Sangliang's face immediately filled with smiles: "It's my honor to be able to help General Manager Zhao, please tell me, General Manager Zhao."

Manager Zhao hurriedly said some polite words and led Gao Shengliang to a deserted place: "Gao Shangshu, since the emperor asked you to check Liji Trading Company, it means that there is something wrong with Liji Trading Company. Regarding the matter of Yanyin, Just don’t give it to them.”

Goldman Sachs Liang only thought about it for a moment and realized that no matter whether there were any problems with the Liji Trading Company he investigated, it was no longer qualified to buy Yanyin.

But he believed that General Manager Zhao came out specifically to find him, and it couldn't be just such a simple sentence.

As expected, after seeing Gao Shengliang nod, Zhao Xicai continued: "The people in Mobei are suffering. In the past few years, no trading company was qualified to buy salt, so they have been eating high-priced salt. What the emperor means is that Li Ji Trading Company is no longer qualified. We cannot let the people of Mobei suffer any more."

Goldman Sachs Liang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he leaned forward slightly to salute, his attitude became more humble: "I'm a little stupid, please give me some advice from Manager Zhao."

Zhao Xi quickly helped Gao Shengliang up and said with a smile: "I just heard that a business gang was established in Mobei..."

Zhao Xi did not say the rest, but Gao Shengliang already understood that the emperor wanted to give this qualification to buy salt to the Mobei Business Gang.

As for the specific distribution of the salt they purchased, that is a matter within their merchant gang.
