Chapter 93
This is an anonymous whistleblower letter, which states that in the Nanshan mining area in Nanfeng County, someone is privately mining copper materials.

It is a big sin to mine copper materials privately!
Throughout the past dynasties, official and private transactions were mainly made of copper coins.Therefore, the court attached great importance to the mining of copper mines and the casting of copper coins, which were all run by the court officials, and private individuals were not allowed to intervene, otherwise it would be a serious crime.

In the period of Emperor Dezong of the former dynasty, in order to expand the scale of minting coins, the imperial court greatly increased the demand for copper production.Under such circumstances, Dezong ordered to call on the people of the world to mine copper mountains freely.

Although the copper received was to be bought and sold by the imperial court and used to cast copper coins.However, copper resources are limited after all. With the continuous increase of copper coin mining, the output of copper is decreasing day by day. Coupled with the prevalent use of copper utensils in the past, there is a huge demand for copper, which leads to a further rise in copper prices.

As a result, there was a shortage of money in the previous dynasty, which led to the fact that money was heavy and things were light, and it also laid the groundwork for the collapse of the previous dynasty.

Up to now, Da Zhou has learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, and it can be described as a severe crackdown on the private mining of copper mines and the casting of bad money.

Now, under the rule of Linchuan, how could someone risk the world's great injustice to smuggle copper materials privately?
He Lingjiang folded the letter in his hand and handed it back to Sun Juncheng: "Do you know if the news in this letter is true?"

Sun Juncheng shook his head: "I received this secret letter two days ago, and I have sent someone to verify it. There is no news yet."

"If the matter is serious, the Jun Cheng suspects that Concubine Zhao is here to stare at you, in case you find out who they are doing in private?" He Lingjiang frowned slightly.

She remembered the dark arrows that were aimed at Sun Juncheng in the deep alley, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "The people in the dark place seemed to want to shoot Juncheng together, could it be because of this?"

Sun Juncheng hid the letter back to its original place.

He has served as the county chief in Linchuan for nearly ten years, and he has also done several major events.If you don't want to leave your hometown, you should be transferred to another place.It's just that he has no intention of rising in the officialdom, and he has been lingering here.

When it comes to understanding the upper and lower levels of Linchuan County, the entire Dazhou officialdom is afraid that no one can match him.

"If these people started privately mining copper mines in Linchuan, it would take a long time to hide it from me. It is indeed an option to have Concubine Zhao watch my movements so that I can respond at any time." Sun Juncheng nodded slightly. .

"Now that Concubine Zhao has revealed the trace, it is naturally useless. If they knew that I had received this secret letter, they would kill me without end. This kind of thing is justified."

"The governor seems to have forgotten someone." He Lingjiang looked at him leisurely, "This county governor of Linchuan, Duke Liu."

These people seemed to focus on Sun Juncheng, the subordinate Juncheng, but they forgot the number one leader of Linchuan, the governor Liu Yuan.

The governor of a county is the head of a county.

It stands to reason that these people are afraid of leaking the news of private copper mining, so they should always keep an eye on him.

unless--

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Juncheng suspects that Liu Junshou and these people are in the same group?"

Sun Juncheng's eyes showed his approval: "He Qiniang is smart."

The county governor Liu Yuan was transferred to this position just over a year ago. He is diligent in political affairs and considerate of the people. He treats his subordinates with a lot of support and love. In the face of his assistant, he is very respectful and amiable.

Logically speaking, he should not doubt Liu Yuan.

However, today he led someone to follow Concubine Zhao, but she was thrown away halfway.He was busy for nearly a day but failed to return, so he had to go home.

In the evening, Liu Yuan, the governor of the county, suddenly came to visit, saying that there was an important matter to discuss, and there were many inquiries in his words.

He didn't think much of it.

Since the county governor Liu Yuan took office, he has tended to win over him.

However, Sun Juncheng always adhered to the principle of not standing in line as an official, and he refused to leave without a trace in the face of this kind of wooing.

The two were talking in circles, and Sun Fei came to report, saying that he had received news and was looking for the trace of Concubine Zhao.

At that time, Liu Yuan sat on the side, his brows moved slightly when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "It seems that there is something wrong with your family, so I won't bother you anymore, let's talk about it later."

He sent Liu Yuan away, and hurriedly took Zhao's concubine with his confidants.

After He Qiniang captured the two concubines, they waited for him in the alley for a long time, but there was no accident.

But he just arrived, and then someone wanted to assassinate him and his concubine Zhao.

It was too much of a coincidence.

Remembering that Concubine Zhao was at the county governor's banquet and asked himself to be his concubine, and then recalled a series of events that happened in the past, he suddenly became suspicious of Liu Yuan.

"It's just, these are just my guesses, and there is no evidence at the moment." Sun Juncheng sighed.

He Lingjiang thought of his proposal to put the man he caught earlier in the county ward, and suddenly realized: "The commander wants to put the man in the county ward to test Liu County?"

Sun Juncheng nodded: "That's right. The person behind him can't be silenced, and he can't say he will attack again. If the county guard is as I thought, it's the person behind him, and he will be judged under his nose, and he will definitely not be able to hold back."

"The county chief has a good strategy, and in this way, you can test whether the Liu county governor is a human or a ghost." He Lingjiang couldn't help but applaud.

If the matter of privately mining copper mines is really related to Liu Yuan, the governor of the county, I don't know which big Buddha is standing above the court hall and behind him.

If it is revealed, it will definitely be a big upheaval.

I can't complain, these people actually wanted to kill Sun Juncheng together before.

"It's just like this, Jun Cheng is a little dangerous. It's hard to guarantee that these people will not attack you again."

Sun Juncheng let out a long sigh: "The officialdom is full of treacherous clouds and waves, and one day it may be attacked by spears and arrows. This is something that can't be helped."

Private mining of copper mines is not a trivial matter. It not only touches the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also shakes the foundation of the country.

If this is true, there must be a lot of people affected.

"Whether it's for the people or the country, at this moment, personal safety is nothing to mention. I can only do my best to find out the truth, and report it to the court, and the saint will decide." Yingdu's direction bowed.

"The loyalty of the governor is touching." He Lingjiang said, "It's just that since the private mining of copper mines happened in Linchuan, and the governor has a suspicion of being in cahoots with the thieves, the governor should take care of himself. This case can be investigated only if Jun Cheng'an is here."

Right now, there is only a whistleblower letter about the private mining of copper mines, and it is not clear whether it is true or not, but the secret surveillance of Zhao Concubine and others has confirmed that there is no inside story, and the county governor Liu Yuan is even more suspicious.

All of them need to be checked and verified.

If the people behind the scenes wanted to quickly put this matter down, it would be most convenient to kill Sun Juncheng.

Once he died and the whistleblower was dealt with, no one knew about the private mining of copper mines, and there was no official to investigate.

"The county chief may be in a dangerous situation recently, but you should be more careful."

He Lingjiang took out a few talisman papers from his sleeves and handed them to Sun Juncheng: "These are the talismans I painted with my own hands. Juncheng may wish to take it with him. In an emergency, he may be able to protect Juncheng once."

Sun Juncheng naturally would not refuse this kindness, he took the talisman paper and put it in his arms: "Thank you, He Qi Niangzi."
