I am the carpenter king

He nodded slowly, and as expected, that person was a salt smuggler.But the business is doing well, how did it get to this point, killing and burning the boat is a bit too much.

Emperor Tianqi stood up slowly, glanced at Li Fang, Emperor Tianqi said in a serious voice: "Help me to do something, use the people here in Dongchang to find out the person who came with Xu Dezhi that day , how long do you need?"

"Young master, you don't need to look for him. After the homicide happened yesterday, I have already sent someone to follow him, and now he is in the west of the city." Li Fang saluted respectfully, with a bit of complacency on his face, he couldn't help but Dale, this is a lucky time for me!One thing I did intentionally has such a big effect now.

Originally, Li Fang sent people to follow him so that he would not have any trouble finding him. Since he came to Jining City, Li Fang has been extremely careful.He is on guard all the time, for fear that someone will attack him.When someone died on Yingchun Road, Chen Fang was naturally extremely nervous, and naturally he would not easily give someone a blame.

Emperor Tianqi really didn't expect that things would have such a turning point. He glanced back at Yuan Keli and said with a smile, "It's called stepping on iron shoes to find a place without any effort. Catch this person and ask him about it." , and the matter becomes clear.” [

"Yeah! It's not too late, it must be done as soon as possible! I always feel that something will happen, and those people can't arrange him in the west of the city. For such an important person, only by letting him shut up forever can things not leak out. Forever There is only one kind of person who shuts up, and that is the dead." Yuan Keli was unusually cautious, but his tone was very urgent, and he also knew the role of this person.

Looking back at Dang Han, Emperor Tianqi said with a serious face: "Go for a walk, and be sure to bring the person back alive. Don't make any mistakes. Also, be careful. Don't alarm anyone!"

"Yes, young master!" Dang Han saluted respectfully, winked at Li Fang, turned around and walked out.

When Li Fang went out, Emperor Tianqi slowly sat on the chair, frowning slightly.Yuan Yingtai said to the side: "Sit down and talk!"

"Yes, my lord!" Yuan Yingtai saluted respectfully and sat down on the chair, but he didn't sit down firmly.

"I always feel that there is something weird about it, but I can't explain why it's weird. It's really so easy to catch this person, I don't think it's that easy!" Emperor Tianqi frowned even tighter, I kept thinking about what I missed!

Yuan Keli also frowned, thinking about the whole thing from beginning to end.See if you are missing anything.

"Motive, murder motive! That's it." Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, obviously thinking of something extremely critical.

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Yuan Keli looked at Emperor Tianqi with a smile, and said in a respectful tone.

Emperor Tianqi did not hide it, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "We have always said that they killed people for salt smuggling, but this statement is too vague. Did the murderers originally smuggle salt together, or did they The buyer of private salt. This is the crux of the problem. The deceased Xu Dezhi was a four-eyed dealer who always came to Jining. That means he sold private salt here, and there are buyers in Jining." Speaking of this, Emperor Tianqi Then he looked at Yuan Keli on the side, with an unstoppable excitement on his face.

Standing up abruptly, Yuan Keli said in a trembling voice, "The Lin Yuanwai who came out of Zhizhou Yamen is probably the buyer. In this matter, the Zhizhou of Jining is also involved."

Standing up while leaning on the chair, Emperor Tianqi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There is still one thing I haven't figured out. Why did the buyer kill Xu Dezhi? Xu Dezhi is the one who sold him private salt. If the buyer kills Xu Dezhi Xu Dezhi. After that, won’t this fortune be cut off?”.

Frowning tightly, Yuan Keli was also thinking about the question asked by Emperor Tianqi. After all, this is indeed a puzzling place.Sighing softly, Yuan Keli said with a naive tone: "It seems that we can only wait until Dang Han catches the murderer back. It's hard to know what's going on!"

Nodding in agreement, Emperor Tianqi and Yuan Keli waited quietly, but it was not Dang Han who came back, but another guard.After the imperial guard entered the room, he knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong Province, has arrived. Lin Gang, the envoy of Shandong Province, and Li Qian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, have also come along. Come together!"

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yuan Keli, with deep surprise in his eyes, what's wrong?In the small city of Jining, so many people are here, what is the purpose of such a big battle?Before I left Changchang, I didn't receive Sun Yuanhua's memorial, but what happened?

"Your Majesty, this is getting more and more lively. We just met by coincidence. I'm afraid these people are not a coincidence! It seems that something is going to happen in Jining City!" Bitter, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was full of treacherous and treacherous events!

Not paying attention to Yuan Keli's expression, Emperor Tianqi frowned tightly, with a look of chill on his face.After a long while, Emperor Tianqi said solemnly: "Since they have come, one thing can be explained clearly. There is one thing we don't know. Maybe the news of the smuggling of salt leaked, and the governor Sun Yuanhua wants to investigate this matter The buyer knew how serious the matter was, and in order to hide the truth, he found someone to kill the dead man who smuggled salt. If he set fire to the dead man’s boat at night, the salt would be gone, and all the witnesses and evidence would be gone.”

Nodding his head slowly, Yuan Yingtai continued: "After silencing the murderer, the whole matter has been covered up. As for the murder matter, Zhizhou Yamen intends to disclose the matter, and may just find someone to convict. solved."

Emperor Tianqi nodded his head slowly. The structure of the matter has probably come out. Although there are many details that are still unclear, there should be nothing wrong with the conclusion.The only thing left now is to catch the murderer, and then prove that the judgment is correct.However, Emperor Tianqi's mind is obviously not on this. Jining is just a microcosm, and what is involved is just a Zhizhou. [

But such blatant salt smuggling, Emperor Tianqi would never believe that it was only in Jining, and the further south he went, the more serious it would be.I can easily deal with Zhizhou in Jining, even if he is wronged, but what about the officialdom in Jiangnan?The officials will become bigger and bigger, and the people will be involved more and more. Could it be that they are all killed? (to be continued...)
