    The people in the hall knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Sir, I understand!" His face was not very good-looking, and he didn't seem very comfortable kneeling there, always shaking from side to side.  Yang He frowned and looked at the people in the hall, and at Ren Changle on the side. A comparison between the two people showed that the plaintiff was not a good person no matter how he looked at it.  Although there were a lot of thoughts in his heart, there was no trace of it on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Who is your surname, where do you live, and what do you do for a living? Tell me truthfully!" "Yes, sir, little Zhao Qian was born and raised here.  Yangzhou personnel. The villain is in the salt business, and his family has ten thousand salt coins, which were handed down from his ancestors!" The man kneeling on the ground did not dare to hide his identity at all.  Again.  Yang He nodded slowly and said expressionlessly: "Let me ask you, you said that Ren Bonian's salt is private salt. How did you know?" "My lord, there is a difference between official salt and private salt."  There is a big difference. The official salt has larger grains, while the private salt has finer grains. In addition, the official salt is slightly yellower, while the private salt is whiter. That day, Ren Bonian and I were holding our own salts.  After receiving the salt, we were ready to go home. But when the younger brother saw something was wrong with Ren Bonian's salt, he complained to the government!" There was no trace of nervousness on Zhao Qian's face when he said these words.  The stagnation is completed in one go.  Frowning slightly, Yang He smiled playfully and said in surprise: "You remember it clearly, it's not easy! It's actually the same as the trial record in this file. It's the same thing twice.  There was no hindrance at all. It seems that you are familiar with this passage!" Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, his face became a little ugly, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, I haven't read it yet!  After learning that the adults were going to try the case, the child wrote down everything he said last time, thinking about how to say it every day, so that he would say the same thing.  "Yes!" He nodded noncommittally, and without saying anything, he turned over the file in his hand and said solemnly: "The person you reported to was the prefect's Yamen, right?" "Yes, sir!"  "Zhao Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Yang He, and quickly lowered his head again.  "Who were you reporting to the official that day?" Yang He asked in an indifferent tone without raising his head.  Zhao Qian was slightly startled, but he still answered honestly: "That day when I came to the prefect's Yamen, I went to the magistrate's Yamen to complain to the official Zhou Captou. When Zhou Captou heard that someone was selling illicit salt, he took him with him  The policeman went to check." Yang He nodded slowly and said expressionlessly: "Pass the arrest to the court!" Someone immediately repeated it, and the Jin Yiwei standing in the hall shouted: "Mighty!"  Not long after, Captain Zhou strode in. He was a man in his forties.  He even had a beard on his sideburns, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of flesh.  Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Capt. Zhou didn't dare to show off in the slightest, and said in an extremely respectful tone: "I am the captor of the government office. If you have anything to say, sir, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know."  Don't do it!" Looking at Zhou Baotou, Yang He smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Baotou is a member of the public, and I won't say anything to others. I believe that Zhou Baotou is a member of the public.  You can answer my questions well. "Of course, sir, don't worry. I will tell you everything I know in my humble position!" Zhou Baotou bowed and said in a deep voice.  "Okay, very good. In that case, let me tell you what happened that day! I want to know what happened!" I glanced at Emperor Tianqi and saw him gently shaking the folding fan in his hand.  With a calm look on his face, Yang He breathed a sigh of relief and continued.  Holding a fist towards Yang He, Zhou Baotou said loudly: "Sir, Bei Zhi was on duty that day. At that time, Zhao Qian ran to Bei Zhi and said that someone was selling smuggled salt. Naturally, Bei Zhi didn't dare to deal with such things as selling smuggled salt.  You are so lazy, just bring someone to take a look!" Yang He nodded slowly, looking at Zhou Captou with a smile, still very satisfied with his performance.  "Beizhi took people to the place where the private salt was stored. After checking, Beizhi found that this batch of salt was indeed different from the previous official salt. However, there was not much evidence at that time, so Beizhi took Ren and his son back to the Yamen."  Here, Zhou Captou didn't say anything and lowered his head.  Yang He also understood what this meant. After Captain Zhou brought the person back, it was Mr. Yang who tried the case.  The prefect didn't waste any effort, and quickly decided that the father and son were selling smuggled salt.  Glancing at the Suzhou magistrate, Yang He showed a hint of disgust. Back then, he was a high-spirited scholar in the capital.  Why does it change when you get to a certain place?How about such an official?  Extremely incompetent!  Turning his eyes to Ren Changle, Yang He said kindly: "Ren family father and son, what do you have to say?" Walking to the middle of the hall waving the folding fan, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Sir, my father and son have already  The case has been handed over to me, so I will speak next!" "If it were an ordinary litigator, Yang He would not let him stand up, but Emperor Tianqi is naturally an exception.  Not only could he not say anything, but he also had to cooperate actively. Yang He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then let's talk about it, young master!" "First of all, I want to say one thing, that is, the Ren family and his son originally did not want to go.  They go there two months later every year. People who are familiar with them can testify. So why did they go two months earlier this year? That¡¯s because Zhao Qian and Ren Bonian are good friends.  He went to Ren Bonian's house and begged Ren Bonian to go with him. "Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhao Qian with a smile, looking harmless, shaking the folding fan in his hand!  Whispers suddenly sounded outside, and Yang He also looked at Zhao Qian aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Qian, is this Mr. Bai telling the truth?" "My lord, yes!" This  Zhao Qian couldn't lie about the matter, after all, many people knew it.  .  Turning his gaze to Emperor Tianqi, Yang He said expressionlessly: "Go on, Gongben!" Emperor Tianqi slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Secondly, the father and son of the Ren family have a total of 50,000 salt citations, which were handed down from their ancestors.  . The Ren family does not gamble or cheat, and they are living a relatively wealthy life. Zhao Qian is different. He only has 10,000 yuan of salt, and it is no longer his. A month ago, you spent these two things in the casino.  Wan Yanyin lost, but they did not take away your Yanyin, but gave you two hundred taels of silver. "This is a big blow. If according to Emperor Tianqi, the Ren family and his son live a prosperous life, what are they doing?  Risking his life to sell smuggled salt.  On the other hand, Zhao Qian on the other side looked like he had made this private affair.  "This doesn't prove anything!" Although Yang He knew that he wanted to help Emperor Tianqi's side, he couldn't do anything too obvious.  "Sir, I don't want to prove anything, I'm just stating a fact, a fact that everyone agrees with!" Emperor Tianqi smiled and followed Yang He as he cupped his hands and said with a playful smile.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi continued: "The last and most critical thing is, where is the person selling private salt? The other thing is the quantity of salt. Since it is selling private salt, why are there only two  "The number of Wan Yin?" "That's because he only sold 20,000 Yin this time!" No one said anything. Zhao Qian on the other side couldn't help it. Naturally, he could tell that Emperor Tianqi was targeting him everywhere. If he didn't say anything,  Order something, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble!  "You are right. This time he only sold 20,000 salt yin. Why? Because he only had 20,000 salt yin in his hand. Ren Bonian had 50,000 salt yin. This is no secret. Yangzhou City  As long as you inquire here, you will definitely find out that the 30,000 salt coins were exchanged at the beginning of the year, and the remaining 20,000 salt coins were redeemed two months later. If it is said that the 20,000 salt coins confiscated by the government were private salt, then  Where did the 20,000 yuan of official salt exchanged by Ren Bonian go?" Emperor Tianqi smiled at Zhao Qian, his eyes full of amusement!  Zhao Qian¡¯s face turned red. He opened his lips several times but didn¡¯t say anything, and his face became very ugly.  The Yangzhou magistrate on one side lowered his head, and no one could see the expression on his face, but it was definitely not good-looking.  "Who knows? Maybe Ren Bonian originally wanted to transport private salt, and he has already hidden the 20,000 official salt!" Zhao Qian suddenly said, raised his head and said to Emperor Tianqi and others.  ??Looking at Zhao Qian with a smile again, Emperor Tianqi clearly wrote, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t speak!  Shaking the paper fan in his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Let's not talk about how to exchange the 20,000 official salt for private salt under your nose. Will anyone in the world exchange official salt for private salt?" After listening to Tianqi  The emperor's words immediately made people laugh. Everyone knew that private salt was clean, delicious and had many advantages.  There is definitely no one who is stupid enough to use private salt to replace official salt. No fool would do that!  Seeing Zhao Qian stunned, Emperor Tianqi continued: "Again, you said that the secret of 20,000 official salt was hidden by Ren Bonian, and then he went to traffic in private salt. Since he has official salt in his hand, why do you still have it?  Want to sell smuggled salt? As we all know, selling smuggled salt is a fool's errand. Who would do it so easily? " "Last point, you have to hide 20,000 yuan of salt," Emperor Tianqi said.  There was a strong sense of ridicule, but everyone present was applauding. Not all of them could understand it, but they also felt that Emperor Tianqi's sales were much stronger than those of Zhao Qian.  "I must find out the source of the 20,000 yuan of salt. As long asIf you know where it comes from, you will know whether it is official salt or really private salt!  When I have found out the matter, I will withdraw from the court during the trial!  "Yang He really can't go on with the trial anymore. He can't wait to know what Emperor Tianqi is going to do! (To be continued.
