Chapter 46

The blinding light from outside the door was blinding, Tizhen hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and said lazily, "Tell me what's going on slowly."

Yang Zuo clapped his hands together and yelled that it was not good, "The Liang family was arrested by the government for stealing and selling private salt, and they were also arrested along with the other thirteen small managers. Now they are being sent to the Yamen for interrogation!"

Tizhen suddenly woke up, Buddha was so cold from being stimulated by a basin of water, and immediately sat up straight, "What?!"

Yang Zuo immediately sat on the edge of the bed and stomped Ruyi, "I went to Yonghui's shop early this morning to buy peony cakes. I heard the loud commotion behind me. When I turned around, I saw the white paper falling like snow all over the sky, so Curious, I picked it up and read it, but it actually wrote a complaint against the Liang family and his relatives for selling illegal salt, and pointed out where they hid the illegal salt!"

He hissed, "At that time, there were so many vendors and customers on the street, and the person-to-person transmission caused quite a commotion. The Liang family wanted to evade, but the government officials were also clever. They found the place where the Liang family hid the private salt long before they were arrested. There was a lot of ironclad evidence. He was taken into custody."

Tizhen suddenly choked, feeling pain in the flesh, "They're all caught..."

She covered her face, "Together, the Liang family and Shisanfang must have several million taels of gold, all of which was lost..." She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you know who is behind the scenes?"

Yang Zuo said "Yes", "The person who planned this matter has already volunteered for office. He called himself Jushi Liu Bai, and was an aide of An Cuishan, the governor of Luoyang Prefecture. His name was Zou Jiping. about smuggling."

"It's just that... more than a dozen merchants, large and small, are involved in this incident, and the amount of money involved is huge. It is not difficult to rule out the suspicion of accumulating wealth and conspiracy. What's more, during the critical period, when the limelight is in full swing, the palace is hard to guard against. Whether it is smuggling or treason, whichever is wrong?" Committing crimes against the wind, the death penalty is a certainty."

Central frustration is also quite resentful.

"It's this Zou Jiping who became famous in one fell swoop with the 'Luoyang Shisanfang Salt Sales Case'."

Tizhen squinted her eyes, "...Zou Jiping?"

Yang Zuo asked: "Sister, can you recognize this person?"

She shook her head, "I don't know."

She said so, but for a moment, she felt creepy in her heart, as if she felt passive and guilty of being stabbed in the neck by someone, and her instinct made her feel that everything was not a coincidence, but she couldn't find the source for a while.

Now that the Great Wei is in a state of ups and downs, it is not appropriate to make a big move to attract attention, so we can only suppress it for the time being, and slowly search for clues, so as to discern carefully what the intentions of the person behind the scenes are.

It is best to be unintentional. If you have the intention, you must kill it quickly.

Thinking of this, Yang Zuo couldn't help worrying along with her gloomy eyes, and Ti Zhen rubbed his hair, gradually bringing a natural smile.

"Maybe it's the fledgling officials who want to climb up with their fame, but let the unlucky Liang family run into them, and they are used as meat ladders in vain. I can borrow it, and they are faster and more ruthless than me." , and save you trouble."

She supported his shoulders and got off the ground, and went to the dressing table to wrap up her hair.

The order said: "Go ask Wenxiu Wenyuan to come in to freshen up, and then go get some nourishing food to nourish the body. Our sisters will eat some with the newly baked peony cakes. We have enough time today. Let's play around. Tomorrow We'll go home in the morning."

Yang Zuo jumped up when he heard the excitement, and ran out like a monkey to ask someone to come in to serve him, and Wenxiu Wenyuan fell down in shock.

Wen Yuan's mouth almost broke, "What's the matter, are you so happy?"

But the man ran extremely fast, and disappeared in a flash. Seeing that the question was empty, his eyes slowly fell on Tizhen.

Apparently Tizhen was not that happy, but fell into deep thought, and only after a while did her eyes slowly roll.

Wen Yuan wondered: "My servant sees that his smile seems to be a good thing, why is the girl unhappy?"

Ti Zhen rubbed the corners of her forehead and frowned, "Selling private salt is a death penalty for family and family extermination. Although they did deserve to die, they took so much gold that should have belonged to our family for no reason, and it hurts my heart to lose money."

She rubbed her knees and sighed, "I just want the Liang family in Luoyang to change owners, catch a few typical ones, and establish rules and prestige, that's all. There is no one, so I can only swallow this useless gas."

She tightened the lines of her lips, and her voice was slow and clear.

"Go and tell Cao You that no matter which business people are in any business, as long as they escaped by chance, they will take as much as they have. If they are willing to follow, they will find some work for them, and if they want to leave, they will give them ten taels of silver. If there are women, children and children who have nothing to rely on, let Gao Qituo take a few carriages back to raise them, and don't stay here for now."

When Wen Yuan heard this, she was so angry that she spit out, "Just take in women and children, those people care about what he does, they're all rotten and dirty, and he'll be happy when he dies."

Tizhen said she didn't understand, "I'm not stupid, I'm not deaf, I'm not a writer. There is a saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although we eradicated the Liang family's confidant trouble this time, it was a loss of one thousand to the enemy and eight hundred to the enemy. Since you can’t win the Liang family’s prestige, you must first accumulate the reputation of being wise before you can recruit capable people.”

She picked up the comb and slowly smoothed her hair, her eyes were stern, "Besides, the matter is still powerless to turn around now. Even if it is lost, it should be harvested. His official family has made a white knife. Let us be generous and protect it with enthusiasm Let them know how ignorantly they followed the wrong person before, let them feel both moved and guilty, and keep in mind our generosity and virtue of giving charcoal in a timely manner."

"Nowadays, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white. If it can catch mice and do things, it is a good cat."

Wenxiu tilted her head and looked at her, with a gentle smile on her face, "Then the most important thing is to select new talents."

"My maidservant has an idea, why don't you draw up a list, Master Shen, please arrange for the supervision of chambers of commerce in various places." Her voice became softer, "Firstly, to avoid unnecessary complications, and secondly..."

He tapped Tizhen on the shoulder.

Ti Zhen was overjoyed, "Girl Wenxiu is getting more and more vicious, just as you said, there is one less problem."

Putting down the comb, he rubbed his heart, "But it has to be a matter after we go back. What's important now is... to ask the kitchen to add two more dishes, roasted pig heart and roasted chicken heart, and a bowl of ginseng and goji berry porridge , I have to make up for it.”

Wenxiu responded with a smile, "Yes, complement the shape with form." She also rubbed Tizhen's heart as she spoke.

In midsummer, it was hot and humid, and there were two rains in Chang'an, which was not suitable for nursing old diseases.But fortunately, everything was quiet and uneventful.

It was during such an ordinary day that Wen Yu woke up.

He repeated it day after day, and Tizhen disappeared without a trace, as if a boulder fell into the water.

Suddenly one day, he had doubts, "After these days, what has Tizhen been doing?"

Guan Tong was taken aback for a moment.

These days, Zuo Fengyi's mansion intervened, and the Shi family's reward announcement, even if they ignored it intentionally, they had to listen to many things. After he knew that Tizhen was assassinated, his face turned pale with fright, only for fear that Wen Yu would listen to it A little bit, caring will make some ridiculous things.

His eyes rolled around, and he accidentally knocked down the teacup with his hand, causing Wen Yu's eyes to fight, "Is something wrong?"

 In the next few chapters, there will be a large emotional Shura field, please hold your shield.
