Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 81

"The longer the time, the more this kind of thing becomes a kind of tacit understanding. Many people can't avoid it. Even if the official doesn't accept it, the salt merchant will give it to his close people." Pang Jin said with a wry smile: "Or if you don't accept it, just sell it to you. It's not a big deal. No one can say anything about the salt you bought with money."

"It's just that the official salt is turned into private salt, just to drag you into the water. No one dares to break the sky in Yangzhou."

After saying this, Pang Jin turned to look at Yang Lian, with a playful smile on his face, the meaning was very simple, that is, do you dare to pierce the sky?

Yang Lian couldn't help thinking of what the crown prince said before he came, don't implicate the magistrates in Jiangnan, but this doesn't mean that if you want to be implicated, you can be implicated, and if you don't want to be implicated, you can't be implicated. Once you move, it will affect your whole body.Corruption is always a crime, and eating alone and giving gifts to get things done is just a back door.

The housekeeper of Shouning Hou looked at Yang Lian, and gasped in his heart, what should we do about this matter?He is not paying attention now.

This is too big a deal!
Yang Lian glanced at Pang Jin, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Pang, are you trying to show me off? Don't worry, although our family is young, we understand a truth. If you want to stand out in this world, you must be ready to be punished." Chopped your head, if you don't want to be chopped off, then be a coward."

"I, Yang Lian, was a lonely beggar on the street since I was a child. I was taken into the palace by my godfather and made an eunuch. After I was cut off, I had nothing to ask for, nothing more than food from my mouth."

"But when I'm full and warm, I always ask for something else, so Eunuch Pang, I am a person who dares to die, and I, Yang Lian, dare to do this!" Yang Lian said: "Eunuch Pang, Yang Bin's Where is the evidence? Take it out! Our family can tell you what we are doing this time."

Hearing Yang Lian's words, Pang Jin trembled. In fact, he was also very curious. From the beginning to the end, Yang Lian never mentioned what they were doing in Yangzhou this time.You've been bullying and luring yourself all this time, are you finally going to say it now?

"Eunuch Pang, the matter this time is very simple. The marquis of Shouning and the dignitaries in our court have taken a fancy to Yan, and our Dongchang and the Supervisor of Rituals also want to share a piece of the pie. The court has already arranged it. Now There is only space left. Our family came here this time to let some people move the place."

"For example, the Yamen of the Yangzhou Transit Envoy, such as the officials of all sizes in Yangzhou, such as the various salt merchants in the city of Yangzhou."

"Clean up some space and free up some space before people can enter. Otherwise, this place is full, how can people enter?"

Even if Pang Jin was ready, he was still shocked. He looked at Yang Lian in disbelief. He couldn't imagine why Yang Lian would dare to do this.If you don't do this well, you will really have your head chopped off.Subconsciously swallowed, Pang Jin didn't know what to say, and was speechless for a while.

"Eunuch Pang, there is nothing to say about this matter. Our family has to do it no matter what. If it can't be done, our family will jump into the Slender West Lake to feed the fish, so Eunuch Pang had better not take chances." Yang Lian looked at Pang Jin continued to threaten: "If our family jumps into the Slender West Lake, Eunuch Pang's family will be buried with me."

Pang Jin raised his head and said after a long time: "If it fails, can we save our family?"

"You can send them to Beijing now, and I will write a letter to my godfather. If it fails, I will protect your family. If it succeeds, Eunuch Pang will be able to enter Beijing, and I will be reunited with my family at that time." Yang Lian said Glancing at Zhang He: "The Marquis of Shouning will provide funds to support your family, Manager Zhang, is this okay?"

Zhang He nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem!"

At this time, his heart was also shocked, didn't he just say that he was here to do a business?How did it become a fight to kill or die?But Zhang He also knew that he had no power to change this matter, but he still made up his mind to go back and write a letter to the master. This matter seemed to be getting out of control.

Yang Lian didn't look at Zhang He, but turned her head back to Pang Jin: "Now can Eunuch Pang talk?"

Pang Jin stood up helplessly, quickly took out a box from the back, and then gently put it on the table beside Yang Lian: "This is Yang Bin's boat route, some of the current accounts and the items he sold for him. The list of private salt personnel, this is what I have collected over the years."

The canine teeth are intertwined, there is me in you, and you in me, that's probably what you're talking about, right?
Yang Lian couldn't help thinking about it in her heart.

Gently opening the box, Yang Lian carefully looked through the accounts inside, and then said after a long while: "I'm afraid Eunuch Pang also has it?"

"It's not a secret in Yangzhou. You go to the wharf or the salt field to check. You can't find illegal salt. What you can find is official salt. They sell private salt as official salt." Pang Shin explained, "It's useless to arrest the boat unless you can catch the current one."

Yang Lian nodded: "Please, Eunuch Pang, please arrange a place for us. I will stay here today!"

"This is no problem, please come with me, both of you!" Pang Jin nodded, then made a gesture of invitation with a smile, and led the two of them out.

Outside the garrison yamen, two beggars were squatting in the corner, hugging their shoulders and kicking their sleeves, leaning against each other. Because their faces were covered with mud, they couldn't tell what they looked like.The beggar on the right said to the beggar on the left: "My lord went in for a while, and I checked the time and didn't come out. It should be that things went well. Go and report to the boss, but my lord didn't come out."

"Okay!" The beggar on the right agreed, stood up and ran out in another direction with his broken bowl.

The capital, the Forbidden City, and the Qianqing Palace.

Standing on the steps of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a big cloak behind him. The autumn wind was bitter, but Zhu Houzhao seemed to be aware of it.

In the past few days, there was nothing serious about the imperial court. The matter of Yantiesi had settled down.At this time, the imperial court will be busy with more things. Once winter comes, many things will be difficult to handle, so we must take advantage of this time to get things done.

Empress Zhang's body was already showing signs of pregnancy, and Zhu Youtang stayed with her in Kunning Palace every day, for fear of any accidents.

The couple had a total of three children, and only one was left in the end. They thought that this was the end of their life, but God gave another chance. How could they not cherish it?These days, Zhu Youtang has given many more rewards to Buddhist temples. He also invited monks to the palace to give lectures, and even made a wish to build temples to pray for blessings.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything about this matter, but strongly supported it. Now my father and mother are very sensitive. If you persuade him not to spend this money, he might think of you!
