I am the carpenter king

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yuan Keli, smiled meaningfully, and said to Yuan Keli: "These people are naturally punished according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing now is not this matter, but how to open this hole!"

After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Yuan Keli nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

"Don't we have Sister Chen Fangfang in our hands? Since the Ren family's illegal salt trafficking is a case of framing, then we can start from this case. As long as we dig out the Li family behind the case, we have found the end of the rope. Pulling one end of the rope, you can pull out all the grasshoppers on the whole rope!" Emperor Tianqi smiled confidently, obviously had a plan long ago.

Yuan Keli was not as optimistic as Emperor Tianqi. He lowered his head and pondered for a while. He said with concern: "Your Majesty, these people in Yangzhou City have been operating for many years. I am afraid that there are many people working for them in Yingtian Mansion. Want to It may not be easy to thoroughly investigate this case!"

"The East Factory of Jinyiwei is investigating in secret, and Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, is in the name of trial. Even if Yangzhou City is a fortified wall, I will make a hole in him. At this time in the Ming Dynasty, what are these people doing? Since They're sorry for me, so don't say I'm sorry for them!" Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and at this time, he couldn't care less.

Yuan Keli, who was sitting on the side, changed his expression slightly, and the expression on his face became a little complicated. He knew in his heart that Emperor Tianqi did nothing wrong.Liaodong at the beginning was an example. Those people killed by Emperor Tianqi had every wish, and now these salt merchants are the same.

However, Yuan Keli was also a little worried in his heart. Emperor Tianqi's murder would probably cause panic among the officials.After thinking about it again, Yuan Keli felt relieved.Emperor Taizu killed a lot of people back then.All the officials were peeled and filled with grass, but the world is clear and bright, so people are very happy!

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Dang Han didn't say much all the time, he just carried out the imperial decree of Emperor Tianqi, but he felt that he had to speak now!

"Dang Aiqing. I know that you are a competent person beside Luo Aiqing. You were the one who took care of the Liaodong affairs back then, and you did a very good job. This time Luo Aiqing asked you to follow me, and I am very satisfied. You next Mobilize Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Yangzhou, and do everything possible to find out about these salt merchants, so we can't lose sight of them!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Dang Han and ordered solemnly.

Dang Han quickly stood up, clasped his fists at Emperor Tianqi, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best, and I will definitely complete it!"

"The next step is to wait, everything has to wait until Yang Aiqing arrives! I want to shock the world, let the subjects of the world see my determination, and let them know what will happen to those who go against my will!" Emperor Tianqi had no trace on his face. His facial expression was so expressionless, and he spoke without any emotion, but the few people on one side felt shuddering.

this day.Many people gathered on the Yangzhou pier, led by the prefect of Yangzhou.Beside him are officials from the magistrate's yamen.Next to the magistrate of Yangzhou, there is another yamen in Yangzhou, and there is Ding Qianli, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou!The official position of the transfer envoy is not high, but his status is extraordinary, because the transfer envoy is in charge of the salt in Yangzhou.

In the Ming Dynasty, the division of civil and military affairs was particularly obvious.Civil officials can be supervisors, but few civilian officials lead officers and soldiers.The transfer envoy is an exception, because it is transportation, so the transfer envoy has an official army in the yamen.In addition, because the person in charge is salt, the transfer envoy also belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs.It has little to do with the place, and there is no need to look at other people's faces.

In Yangzhou city, although Yang Xiayu, the magistrate of Yangzhou, is the magistrate, he has to give way to Ding Qianli, the transfer envoy.Those salt merchants are even more ingratiating and flattering, doing everything they can.

At this time, on the Yangzhou wharf, the officials were all looking forward to it, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou city were also here.Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Although they were forced to smile, when they turned around, everyone's eyes were full of worry.

After a long time, a big boat appeared on the river, with this big flag flying high on the bow, on which it was written: imperial envoy, Zuodu Censor Yang!

This time Yang He was going to inspect the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, but he went straight to Yangzhou when he left, which made all the officials look sideways.Whether it is the officials in the court or the officials in various places, they are all staring at Yangzhou.

"Here we come!" The people on the shore shouted, and all of them kept arranging their clothes, letting the people on the side see if there was anything wrong.

The big ship slowly approached the shore, people didn't expect that it was the Jin Yiwei who got off first, and it was indeed the patrolling hunter on behalf of the sky, and the guards were all Jin Yiwei.A hundred Jinyi guards stood on both sides of the pier, with their hands on the handle of the knife, staring at the crowd expressionlessly.

After Jin Yiwei, hundreds of soldiers disembarked from the boat. They carried bird guns on their backs and steel knives on their waists.Different from those Jin Yiwei, these people have a murderous look on them, and they look like soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield.Looking around, his eyes were cold and indifferent to life.

The people on the shore all looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all at a loss.Many people's hearts have sunk to the bottom.If it was really the emperor who came, it would be impossible in such a team, but this is not the emperor Tianqi after all.

Before everyone could react, a person came out from the cabin again, wearing a red python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and thin-soled official shoes on his feet.Three strands of beard fluttered across his chest, his face was serious, and his eyes looked so majestic that no one dared to look directly at him.It was Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, who patrolled hunting on behalf of the sky.

Behind Yang He, on one side was a Jin Yiwei holding a sword in his arms, wrapped in yellow silk and satin.Although the sword body cannot be seen, the red spikes of the sword are floating outside. This is the legendary Shangfang sword!On the other side, the same Jin Yiwei stood behind Yang He holding the Wang Ming Banner in his arms, with a serious face.

Seeing Yang He walking out, everyone knelt down, and the Yangzhou prefect took the lead and shouted: "Yang Xiayu, the prefect of Yangzhou, supply imperial envoys!"

Yang He stepped onto the pier, and a eunuch on the side also came up, Yang He smiled and said to the eunuch: "Eunuch Zheng, you are still here to announce the decree!"

This Zheng Gonggong is the deputy imperial envoy this time, and the eunuch Zheng Li, the palm print eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.In the imperial palace, the status of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is second only to that of the Rites Supervisor. This eunuch with the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor commands the guards in the imperial palace, and has extraordinary power.No one expected that this person would go to the south of the Yangtze River with Yang He, which is enough to see that Emperor Tianqi attached great importance to it.

Few of the people present knew this Eunuch Zheng, but judging from his clothes, they also knew that this one had a different reaction.

"Master Yang, this imperial decree is not right, and it is for you, Mr. Yang. It is not our family's turn to read it! Our family came out with Mr. Yang this time, and understands what the emperor means. You don't have to do this, Mr. Yang. The family won't be offended!" Zheng Li looked at Yang He and said with a smile.He also knew in his heart that his task was to watch, not to say anything.

No matter what Yang He does, he can't interfere, otherwise he won't be able to eat and walk around!Zheng Li has been in the palace for many years, and he can do the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, so naturally he can't even understand this.My task is to watch Yang He carefully, and I will know how to answer when the emperor asks Li in the future!

Yang He was slightly taken aback, but he also understood Zheng Li's meaning, there was no expression on his face, Yang He smiled wryly in his heart.Coming here this time, isn't he a puppet?I am afraid that what to do in the future and how to do it are all arranged by Emperor Tianqi!

"Since that's the case, the old man will not be polite! Eunuch Zheng, don't blame him!" Yang He took the imperial decree from one side of the tray and unfolded it slowly.

All the people present listened respectfully, Yang He read the imperial decree aloud, and after putting away the imperial decree, he said loudly: "Everyone, get up!"

Everyone stood up, but there were not many people who could talk together, and the leaders were Yangzhou prefect Yang Xiayu and Yangzhou transit envoy Ding Qianli.The two came to Yang He's side and saluted again.

This time Yang He did not accept the gift, the gift just now was accepted on behalf of the emperor, after all he was hunting on behalf of the sky.Now it was his turn, Yang He smiled and supported the two of them, and said this politely.

"Master Yang, it's been the ninth year since we left the capital! Now it's a fourth-rank imperial hall, and Lord Yang's officials have done a good job!" Yang He looked at Yang Xiayu and recalled the past with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. When I visited the capital and studied in the capital, I was taught by my lord. Now Sizhi still benefits a lot. After nine years, it is really an honor for me to be able to listen to my lord's teachings!" Yang Xiayu said. With a humble face, treating Yang He with the courtesy of a disciple, the people watching were envious.

Smiling and shaking his head, Yang He said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, back then we were just discussing knowledge. Now we are ministers in the same temple, there is no need for this!"

A group of people walked forward while being polite.Yang He proposed to visit Yangzhou City, and the group rushed to the Yangzhou Posthouse without riding a horse or taking a sedan chair.

In an attic, Emperor Tianqi looked at the team below without the slightest expression on his face.Looking back at Dang Han, he said in a deep voice, "Are you all ready? There can be no mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Nothing will go wrong, the following has been prepared a long time ago, and there will be no mistakes!" Dang Han hurriedly saluted, assuring Emperor Tianqi.

Turning his eyes to Yang He below, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing, don't blame me for not pampering you, you have to work here!"

The imperial envoy team was walking forward when a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, led by two little girls, who stopped in the middle of the road.

"Who are you? Hurry up and get out of the way? You can also stop the imperial envoy?" Jin Yiwei who came from the way strode forward, holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and shouted loudly. (To be continued..)
