    Without asking any more questions, Yang He knew that the girl in front of him probably didn't know much. It was Bai Yu who was really standing behind the scenes.  As for the biggest litigant in the capital, Yang He naturally didn't take it to heart.  That night, Yang He attended a banquet hosted by local officials and gentry in Yangzhou. This was an official rule. Those who entertained guests would not think anything of it, and those who ate would not care.  After the dinner, Yang He said to the Yangzhou magistrate with a smile: "Governor Yang, I have already asked about the person who blocked the road and complained about injustice during the day. It was the case concerning Ren Changle that was interrogated by your office." Seeing Yang.  He looked at himself, and the Yangzhou magistrate nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this case was tried by a lower official and has been finalized. Ren Changle and his son were selling illegal salt. The evidence is conclusive. The lower official has already  Reported to the Ministry of Punishment!" Yang He frowned slightly and nodded clearly. The Yangzhou magistrate's move was just to let him retreat.  I was aware of the unusual nature of the case, so naturally I would not just ignore it.  After pondering for a moment, Yang He said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, some mistakes are inevitable in matters like trial. If the suffering master really goes to beat the drum, your face, Master Yang, will be disgraced. Since  The master has found me, so I¡¯d better ask him! If there¡¯s anything really involving Mr. Yang, I can help you!¡± There was no expression on his face, and the governor of Yangzhou sounded grateful.  He said: "In that case, I'd like to thank you first, and I'll have someone send you the file when you get back. You can take a look at it first, I'm waiting for the good news from you!" The two people looked at each other and laughed at the same time.  He smiled and said nothing.  Although both of them are dissatisfied with each other in their hearts, they still have to get over it.  After returning to the imperial envoy's residence, Yang He looked through the files carefully, and soon Yang He discovered a suspicious point.  He frowned and knocked on the table.  Yang He searched more carefully, but since he had just arrived, he might have to wait until he re-examines to get the result.  What¡¯s more, Yang He is very curious about the white jade. He believes that when he goes to court again to try the case, the white jade will definitely appear.  At night, in the back hall of the prefect¡¯s Yamen.  The Yangzhou magistrate no longer had the calmness he had just now, and his face was full of anxiety.  I walked around in the lobby and glanced anxiously outside from time to time, as if I was waiting for someone.  Not long after, an old housekeeper ran in from outside, saluted the Yangzhou magistrate, and said respectfully: "Sir, the master is here!" After hearing the old housekeeper's words, the Yangzhou magistrate suddenly looked happy.  He said in a deep voice: "Please!" The housekeeper turned around and went out. Not long after, he came in with an old man, it was Li Chang, the head of the Li family.  Li Chang had a warm smile on his face, without any trace of anxiety, and looked calm and calm.  "Sit!" The Yangzhou magistrate sat on the chair, his face no longer showing the urgency as he said calmly.  "Sir, I found Li here late at night. I'm afraid it's not to reminisce about old times! Our friendship is no longer a day or two. If you have anything to say, please just say it!" Li Chang had a smile on his face.  He cupped his hands to the Yangzhou magistrate, sat on a chair aside, and said with a smile.  Nodding slowly, the Yangzhou magistrate didn't care about Li Chang's attitude. At this time, everything else was secondary.  After organizing his language, the Yangzhou magistrate said in a serious tone: "Brother Li must have already known about today's blocking of the road to complain. I won't introduce anything more. The people from Yang Dutang have just taken away the case files.  I'm afraid this case will be retried soon. I wonder if Brother Li has any good ideas? " Listening to the tone of Yangzhou Magistrate, Li Chang frowned slightly. These officials were very quick to reach out when they took money.  There are really things that can be done faster.  Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, do you think this matter is really that simple?"  It's not that simple.  The imperial court sent an imperial envoy to patrol the south of the Yangtze River. He should have visited Nanjing, but the imperial envoy went directly to Yangzhou.  "Mr. Yang, have you heard of Zhangjiakou?" Li Chang said in a calm voice as he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.  "Of course I have heard of this. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the Liaodong case was the biggest case. Later it was Zhangjiakou, which was related to the trade with the Mongols. The imperial court has already rectified it!" The Yangzhou magistrate nodded slowly,  He said somewhat unclearly.  Smiling indifferently, Li Chang sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice: "The incident in Zhangjiakou is a good example. Now all the trade in Zhangjiakou has been controlled by Longchang Company. Originally, many people in Shanxi and Shaanxi were controlled by Longchang Company.  The house was confiscated, and their property is now all?Longchang Company is in charge. After listening to this, Mr. Yang still doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on?  " "Is it possible that the imperial envoy went south this time because Longchang Company started to engage in saltism?  "Thinking of this, the Yangzhou prefect suddenly felt chills all over his body. If this lid is lifted, from the officials of the salt field to their respective transfer officials, and even local officials from various places, I am afraid that all officials in Jiangnan will be involved. From local to local  In the court, from civil servants to military generals, from officials to nobles, there were probably not many people who could escape. Li Chang spit out the tea in one gulp. He coughed immediately, looked at the Yangzhou magistrate up and down, and couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart, why didn't he do it before?  Did you realize you were so stupid? "What?  Isn't what I said wrong?  "The governor of Yangzhou looked at Li Chang angrily, and said with anger in his voice. "My lord, that's not what I said. Longchang Company is just a business house no matter what, and it is impossible for the court to go just because he likes it.  Where to fix it.  No matter who is standing behind Longchang Company, they don¡¯t have that much ability, unless the owner of Longchang Company is the emperor!  "Li Chang quickly waved his hand and explained while wiping the water from his body. The Yangzhou magistrate immediately blushed and didn't say anything. As for the owner of Longchang Company being the emperor, Li Chang was just joking. The Yangzhou magistrate naturally  I won¡¯t believe it. ¡°Brother Li, who is the owner of Longchang Company?  "As if to cover up his embarrassment, the Yangzhou prefect took a few sips of tea before raising his head and asking. With a soft sigh, Li Chang's face flashed with helplessness, looking at the Yangzhou prefect, he said in a deep voice: "Prefect  Sir, no one knows the owner of Longchang Company. Many people have checked it, but no one can find it.  Many people want to cause trouble for Longchang Company, but in the end they are the ones in trouble.  Now everyone can be sure that the Longchang Company has a close relationship with the palace. It is very likely that a large part of the money earned by the Longchang Company was sent to the palace.  " Li Chang's tone was very calm, but the face of the Yangzhou magistrate on the side became extremely ugly, and he swallowed hard. If Emperor Tianqi is planning to regulate the salt in Jiangnan, it is really over this time. Since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne,  Whether it was the Liaodong military salary embezzlement case or the Zhangjiakou smuggling case, many people lost their heads. Emperor Tianqi was not lenient at all. The Yangzhou prefect knew that if the lid of the salt merchant was lifted, it would be worse than those two places.  The case is much bigger! He frowned and kept thinking, what should he do? He glanced secretly at Li Chang, "Brother Li, since you have guessed it, what can you do?"  ?  " Still holding a bit of luck in his heart, Li Chang, who was standing on the side of the Yangzhou magistrate, asked. "Master magistrate, the emperor really wants to take action, what can we do?  If there had not been the military pay case in Liaodong, someone in the DPRK might still have come forward.  Now a large number of those people have been killed by the emperor, and the rest have become frightened birds. I am afraid that no one can stand up for us!  "Li Chang naturally knew the thoughts of the Yangzhou magistrate, and there was a bit of helplessness on his face. Hearing Li Chang's words, the Yangzhou magistrate was stunned for a moment. Could he really just sit back and wait for death? But seeing the expression on Li Chang's face, he felt certain in his heart. This  A big salt merchant will never give up like this, there must be some way! "Now that the matter is over, it's better not to hide anything Brother Li has from me. After all, we are just like grasshoppers on a rope.  "After stabilizing his mind, Yangzhou Magistrate said with sincerity. "Of course there is a way, but I don't know if Magistrate Yang has the courage to cut off his wrist. Now that Yang Dutang is in Yangzhou, we can attack and kill him.  " Li Chang had a spicy look in his eyes and a chill in his voice. Shaking his head like a rattle, the Yangzhou magistrate waved his hands repeatedly and said with a trembling voice: "To attack and kill the imperial envoy is tantamount to treason. This is really not worth it.  By the way, it¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen the imperial guards before. They are all elites from the three major battalions.  That person suppressed bandits in Shandong and fought against barbarians in the southwest.  Not only can we not kill the imperial envoy, we may even be killed by him!  " "We can poison!  "Li Chang still looked at Yangzhou Magistrate with gloomy eyes and said in a lowered voice. Shaking his head again, Yangzhou Magistrate said firmly: "Don't think so. If Yang Dutang really dies here, there is no need to wait until the court.  Cha Yan, I, the prefect of Yangzhou, will have to be buried with him!  " "Since Mr. Yang refuses, there is only one way. Does Mr. Yang still remember the imperial edict issued by the emperor after the Liaodong embezzlement of military pay case?  "Li Chang looked at the Yangzhou magistrate with a smile, obviously now is what he wanted to say. Pointing at Li Chang, the Yangzhou magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I'm scared to death!  I thought you really wanted to rebel!  Since you mentioned the emperor's imperial edict, I will naturally remember this.  But what should we do?  I'm afraid it's not good to really do this, right?  ¡±   "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes, let alone people like us!" He snorted coldly, and Li Chang's eyes were filled with anger.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
