Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 116
When Qi Huan was asked such a question by Mou Bin, he immediately felt a little embarrassed. Everyone in Yangzhou knew about this kind of thing, but Qi Huan still couldn't accept it calmly when Mou Bin said that.Although there are a few women sent by salt merchants in his home, Qi Huan still doesn't know how to explain it to Mou Bin, it's obviously hard to talk about it.

"Master Mou, let's discuss this matter with our family!" Yang Lian said softly at the side: "Master Mou, look at these women, they are carefully selected and cultivated by salt merchants."

"Not only can they serve men, but they are also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Some of these women are enjoyed by the salt merchants themselves, and the other part is used to give away. For example, to some officials, or even officials. Red sleeves add fragrance, what a beautiful thing, Master Mou can also see if there are any ones he likes, and if so, bring some back."

Mu Bin glanced at Yang Lian, and didn't bother to refute what Yang Lian said. If he really got two women back from here, he probably wouldn't have to be an official.

Yang Lian didn't think much of it, just sighed and said: "They are all children from poor families. In the end, they can only sell themselves. Girls are played with by others. Boys are lucky and can cut a knife. If they are unlucky, they may be They will all starve to death. Some people just don’t understand the hardships of the people. These people should be sent to dig mountains for the imperial court, and then they will know what suffering is.”

Although Yang Lian spoke lightly and even had a smile on her face, both Qi Huan and Mou Bin fought a cold war.

Seeing the flying around in the mansion, and even some people yelling and cursing loudly, Yang Lian's face darkened.

"Gungou, you persecute Zhongliang and oppress goodness, and you will die sooner or later!" A young man was shouting with his neck pulled, his face full of anger: "My Ye family is a scholarly family, who has been farming and studying for generations. If you persecute me like this, the heavens have no eyes, you are a dog, and I, the Ye family, will not let you go even if they are ghosts, I wish I could eat your flesh!"

Listening to that person's yelling, the expression on Yang Lian's face didn't change, she just said lightly: "Crack!"

One of Yang Lian's Dongchang fan rushed forward, unceremoniously raised the knife in his hand, and smashed the scabbard towards the mouth of the shouting young man, instantly blood spattered, teeth flew, The young man screamed in pain, rolled his eyes and passed out, the fan snorted coldly, and said loudly: "If you dare to scold your father-in-law, drag it on!"

Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, didn't care about this, it was considered light, not a big deal at all, but Qi Huan on the other side looked a little unhappy.

Some scholars gathered around watching the fun shouted loudly: "Sweeping the floor with gentleness, sweeping the floor with gentleness, it is an insult to the sages!"

Yang Lian laughed immediately, turned her head to look over, the sound was silenced instantly, Yang Lian became even more disdainful, turned her head to look at the person who was captured, Yang Lian turned her head and said to Mou Bin: "Master Mou , Yangzhou has finished arresting, should we change the place? Don’t let people run away at that time, then things will be troublesome, I’m afraid Master Mou won’t be able to explain it.”

Turning his head to look at Yang Lian, Mou Bin just said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about Eunuch Yang, we Jinyiwei still have this ability."

Although on the surface they seem to be actively doing errands, in fact they all have their own ideas, and Yang Lian doesn't care about Mou Bin's attitude.

The imperial envoy went to the palace.

There was a lot of uproar outside these days, and it was a joy to search the house and arrest people. On the contrary, Zhu Houzhao, the prince, completely kept a low profile and turned on the hidden mode.Of course, this is also what Zhu Houzhao did on purpose. Zhu Houzhao is the prince, and it is often not appropriate to force himself to stand out. Now that everything is arranged, Zhu Houzhao just stays behind and stays safe.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yu Yangzhou wants to see His Highness!" Liu Jin stood behind Zhu Houzhao and said cautiously.

"Old Su?" Zhu Houzhao sneered, "What Elder Su?"

"Returning to Your Highness, most of them are officials of Zhishi!" Liu Jin said quickly: "A few of them are already Zhishi's six ministers."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and turned back to look at Liu Jin: "Tell them, because of the long journey, the exhaustion of boats and cars, I occasionally feel cold and unwell, and it is inconvenient to see people. These days, I am recuperating in the palace of the imperial envoy. Wait until my health is better, Seeing these elders."

Zhu Houzhao didn't need to think about what these people were here for. They came just for this private salt case in Yangzhou.

These people rely on the old to sell the old, and it is difficult to dismiss them. If they are not careful, they will damage the personality of their own prince. Naturally, it is impossible to promise them, so they simply disappeared.Although Zhu Houzhao has not seen these people, Zhu Houzhao can probably guess what these people will say, and they will definitely not be able to intercede directly. They will start with treating the scholars well, then talk about the dignity of the court, and finally respect the dignity of the scholars.

Zhu Houzhao is too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. If you don't agree, they may not say anything about you, so they just pretend to be sick.

These people can't force the prince to meet them, can they?But maybe, these courtiers, the emperor didn't see them breaking into the palace, it's not like they didn't do it.The later Emperor Wanli suffered from leg problems and was unable to go to court. What did the courtiers do?Emperor Wanli had explained countless times that his legs were bad and inconvenient, but these ministers seized on this point and attacked fiercely, gaining prestige soaring, regardless of the facts.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is a corruption case, there is nothing to say, just investigate to the end, and arrest whoever is involved.

Those salt merchants have embezzled the imperial court's salt profits and enjoyed it for so many years, and it is time to contribute their family property. The imperial court is so short of money.Now it is just the beginning, the arrests are only some salt merchants in Yangzhou, and the two Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers will be swept next. Not only the salt merchants involved, but also the officials involved will be arrested.

Zhu Houzhao in Yangzhou is not worried. With Dongchang and Jinyiwei, basically there will be no major problems.

For the sake of stability, I even dragged out Qi Huan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou. With these two people in Yangzhou, there would be no chaos.Yangzhou can't be chaotic, and other places can't be chaotic. After arresting Yangzhou and Lianghuai Salt Farm, and after arresting Lianghuai Salt Farm, Nanzhili is arrested. Anyway, Zhu Houzhao wants to catch it to the end this time, and will not tolerate it.

What Zhu Houzhao was worried about was the capital. Game games were always at the top instead of the bottom. Zhu Houzhao believed that his father's life would be difficult.

However, Zhu Houzhao still believes that his father can settle things down. The Emperor Renzong may not be so decisive, but he should perform well in the face of this situation.
