At this time, Dongying was in the period of the war between the North and the South, and the country was in chaos, and a large number of wandering samurai and defeated forces fled to the sea to serve as Japanese soldiers.

Coupled with the fact that the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen were rampant on the sea, the Ming Dynasty was unbearable, and Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ban the sea and cut off the pirates from the mainland.

While this effectively curbed the growth of the pirates, it also made them even more frenzied, often raiding coastal villages, and most of the breached areas were empty and depopulated.

This happens all the time.

Zhu Biao was not surprised.

Naturally, he would not send his father-in-law to prison because of Ye Cheng's few words, and said vaguely: "This matter needs to be investigated......." "

Ye Cheng was a little disappointed and snorted coldly.

Chang Xuan was about to say something more, but was stopped by Ye Cheng with his eyes.

The

two brothers of the Chang family are looking towards Ye Cheng in their hearts, but some words are difficult to say.

My sister is Zhu Biao's main room.

The daughter of Lu Ben is the side room.

If they follow Ye Cheng together to slander Lu Ben, I am afraid that it will cause discord in the prince's family.

Ye Cheng dealt with a few words casually, asked Chang Xuan to greet Zhu Biao and a few people, and he took the little servant back to Suzhou City to discuss with his grandfather how to deal with this matter.

As soon as he left, Chang Xuan asked eagerly: "Brother-in-law, you have made Ye Cheng sad by doing this, because Lu Ben's fault led to the tragic death of thousands of people and the inventory of the salt farm was looted, so you really don't care at all?"

"How can I not care!" Zhu Biao said: "It's just that how to deal with this matter is still up to my father to decide, and I will definitely make this matter clear when I return to Beijing!"

Chang Xuan's face was slightly better.

The two brothers of the Chang family nodded.

This matter is best handled by the emperor, and it is best for Ye Cheng and the Chang family not to be directly involved in it, so as not to retaliate against the crown prince and concubine in the future.

Ye Cheng stayed in Suzhou City for most of the day, and only returned to Enrong Academy at dusk.

As soon as he returned to the room, Chang Xuan hugged him from behind and said, "Brother Ye Cheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The two slept together.

Ye Cheng smiled.

Thick purple light was released from all over his body, enveloping Chang Xuan's body.

Chang Xuan smiled at the corner of her mouth, showing a very comfortable sleeping position.

Ye Cheng is equipped with a miracle medical system.

He found that every time he saved a good person or killed a bad person, a trace of purple qi would gather around him.

The purple light lingers, not only is his auspicious star shining, but the people around him can also have smooth luck.

Although Chang Xuan's condition was controlled, the cause had not been found, and in order to prevent her condition from worsening, she could only follow her.

Wake up early and go out together.

Chang Xuan's eyes rolled a few times, and said slyly: "The prince and the two brothers are here, let's stop running today!".

Ye Cheng nodded.

When Zhu Biao and the three of them saw Ye Cheng and Chang Xuan coming out of the same room, they all smiled bitterly.

It seems that Chang Xuan will definitely follow Ye Cheng in this life, and no one can break it up.

Chang Mao always looked cynical, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister being intimate with Ye Cheng.

When eating breakfast, Chang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "Ye Cheng, you and my sister must always have an explanation, I think so, you take your sister back to Beijing with us, and your mother can ......also make decisions for you." "

Ye Cheng agreed without thinking.

Zhu Biao said: "Lu Ben is a third-grade official of the imperial court, I can't punish him privately, after returning to Beijing, I will let my father investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"

Ye Cheng was overjoyed.

Ye Cheng decided to go to Suzhou City to discuss his marriage with his grandfather.

As soon as they came out of the academy, they were all stunned.

The square outside the gate was full of people kneeling in the dark.

Imperial court officials.

Squire celebrities.

There are also students studying at the college.

The first person is Ye Cheng's grandfather, Zhao Jun, the prefect of Suzhou.

Zhao Jun knelt on the ground, put his official hat on his side, and said loudly: "Please make the prince the master of the world's salt and the people of Jiangnan!"

"In the past years, the salt tax has been more than 1 million yuan, accounting for most of the commercial tax, and the national treasury revenue is more than a quarter, how important is it?

"The two rivers transported salt so that Lu Ben changed the system of his predecessor and dispersed the salt field guards, causing the Japanese to drive straight into the two large salt farms and several small and medium-sized salt farms, killing thousands of people and robbing thousands of loads of coarse salt!"

"The prefect of Suzhou is unable to protect the people under his rule, the minister is guilty, and he is willing to resign from the position of prefect, and he also asks the prince to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Zhao Jun stared at Zhu Biao tightly and said.

If he could use his official position to seek justice for those salt dings, he would be willing.

Lu Ben thought he was a relative of the emperor and interfered too much in the affairs of the salt farm.

The government allowed the salt to have a little bit of private salt.

However, this salt can only be eaten by itself, and if it is to be sold, it can only be sold to the government.

After Lu Ben took office, he greatly reduced the amount of salt in his hand, and the salt left in his hand was not enough to eat himself, and his life became poorer and poorer.

Coupled with the fact that the salt works are constantly being attacked by pirates, there are not many people willing to be salt dices anymore.

The

decrease in the amount of salt produced from the salt works indirectly affected the tax revenue of coastal prefectures such as Songjiang, Suizhou, and Hangzhou.

The other officials also took off their official hats and said in unison: "We are guilty, please ask the prince to investigate this case thoroughly!"

Is this a forced palace?

The officials of the Suzhou Mansion want to force themselves to dispose of their father-in-law, Lu Ben?

Zhu Biao's face is a little unsightly.

The Chang brothers were a little anxious.

The prince has a gentle temperament.

But the emperor is not.

The emperor must know that the officials of Suzhou are so coercive to the crown prince, I am afraid that it will backfire.

Lu Ben may not be unlucky, and the life of the prefect of Suzhou will definitely not be easy.

Chang Sheng hurriedly spoke: "Ye Cheng, hurry up and persuade Lord Zhao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already promised to help!"

Ye Cheng took a few steps forward and pulled his grandfather up, and said to the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has promised to help, and he will thoroughly investigate this matter when he goes back, and he will definitely give an explanation to the people of Jiangnan!"

The officials got up, tidied up and left.

The students also got up and left.

Ye Cheng pulled his grandfather to explain everything: "I want to follow the prince back to Beijing, not only for Lu Ben's affairs, but also to marry Chang Xuan!"

Zhao Jun heard that the little girl who had been following his grandson was actually the daughter of King Kaiping Changyuchun, so he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said that Ye Cheng was a good fortune.

Ye Cheng went to Suzhou City to pack up his salutes, and before leaving, he asked his grandfather to find someone to secretly build a sea boat.

Zhao Jun's eyes were wide open, and he didn't know his grandson's intentions.

Ye Cheng said angrily: "This time I enter Beijing, I will definitely find a way to let the emperor open the sea ban, and I will never stop until I kill all the Japanese invaders!"
