Chapter 22 The elusive inner factory (read a good book for the helmsman Li Sheng

Wang San's words made everyone present stunned, admitting that there was a private salt in the car?

Is this guy crazy?

In the Ming Dynasty, selling private salt was a serious crime, and it was a beheading. Is this Wang San crazy? Whoever caught the private salt dealers was not fighting to the death? Surrender was already strange enough, and he even took the initiative to confess that it was private salt.

Wang Yongji became more and more confused. No matter how he saw it, it was wrong!

Sun Piyang didn't care what Wang Yongji thought. Since Wang San recognized that this was private salt, how could he not ask? So he asked: "I asked you, did you say this was private salt? What's going on? I haven't come to the real trick."

"Sir, the younger one and my father made a living by driving a big cart. There is a carriage at home, and they will take their fellow villagers to earn some hard money."

"This time these salts belong to the Zhou family, a big family in the city. Originally, the young man didn't know that they were private salt. After all, there were several stores in the Zhou family, and they also sold official salt." Wang San said with a sad face: "But when the young man was loading the goods, he heard the Zhou family's butler talking to the loader, saying that someone in the court was coming to check the private salt."

"I have someone hide all this salt. The Zhou family has not enough staff, so I came to us."

Speaking of this, Wang San burst into tears: "But I'm so scared!"

"The people who sell private salt are all not afraid of death. The Zhou family is a local big family. If we find us to transport private salt, we will not be able to kill us to silence us this time! I dare not be unlucky at that time. If I were unlucky at that time, the Zhou family would probably kill us to silence us directly!"

"Sir, the young ones are wronged. The young ones do not sell private salt. Please be careful!"

Sun Piyang nodded and said in a deep voice: "So that's the case. So what's the case with you, are there any Zhou family?"

Wang San nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there is a fat man over there who is the warehouse manager of the Zhou family. This time he sent the salt to escort the car." When he said this, Wang San knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Sir, the young man really doesn't sell private salt."

"If you are telling the truth, I will forgive you for not being guilty. If you dare to deceive me, then I will not blame me." Sun Piyang said directly: "Go and arrest me!"

Several Jinyiwei ran to the crowd of people who were in custody and quickly picked up a fat man. After the person was pressing over, Sun Piyang asked Wang San: "This person is the warehouse manager of the Zhou family? The one you mentioned custody?"

"Sir, his name is Zhou Cang, it's him, that's him!" Wang San quickly pointed at the fat man and said.

Sun Piyang nodded: "Preserve him, and everyone else is also escorting him. Let's go to Cang County. After arriving in Cang County, we are going to examine him well!" After saying this, Sun Piyang turned around and walked towards the carriage.

After Sun Piyang left, the others naturally could not stay here, so they had to follow him and walked towards the carriage.

Eunuch Wang and Xing Shangzhi were very happy. They once again talked about this as a great achievement. Cao Yikui was also very proud, only Wang Yong frowned. The whole thing was strange everywhere. When was it so easy to catch a private salt dealer?

Even if the Zhou family wants to hide salt, why hide it outside the city? Is there no place to hide it in the city? Dig a cellar and hide it!

With a lot of questions, Wang Yongji returned to the carriage. Before he could think about it, the team set off again. The group continued to rush to Cang County in a mighty manner. What Wang Yongji didn't see was that Wang San had already gotten into the carriage next door.

In the carriage, the eunuch Wang Zhong looked up and down Wang San, then said, "Our family didn't expect that the inner factory sent it was so young. Are you really the surname Wang?"

"Brother-in-law, the little one is really the surname Wang!" Wang San nodded, as if he didn't want to say more about his identity. Wang San said directly: "Eunuch Wang, we have all tied up Zhou Cang's family. The person outside is ours."

"Mr. Sun cannot be asked to interrogate in front of officials of all sizes in Cang County. If someone appears, he will be exposed."

Wang Zhong was stunned. Zhou Cang was actually fake. You guys are a bit big, right?

"Eunuch Wang, don't worry. We have already reviewed Zhou Cang and found the Zhou family's salt storage place. After arriving in Cang County, Eunuch Wang will just take people to search. At that time, that real Zhou Cang will appear in the salt storage place."

Wang Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "You are quite considerate in your work. It's best if this matter is true, otherwise our family will not be able to escape, and your internal factory will not be able to do it."

"Don't worry, our internal factory will naturally not do anything to ruin the sign. We have long discovered that private salt is flooded in Cang County. After secret investigation, we discovered the Zhou family. Our people have also pretended to be private salt dealers and contacted them, and some have met their heads."

"It can be confirmed that this Zhou family is a private salt seller, but I don't know if the Zhou family is online. The young man is not responsible for that matter."

Looking at the capable Wang San, Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, why did his Dongchang not have such personnel? But he also knew that the emperor would not allow Dongchang to do the same. He smiled and nodded and said to Wang San, "Okay, our family knows, you go first!"

Wang San left the eunuch Wang's carriage and quietly seemed to have never appeared.

At this time, the gate of Cang County was also very lively. The magistrate Yao Renji and the gentry and elders of the county were all waiting here. Yao Renji had known about the imperial envoy's visit to Cang County for a long time, and he also knew that the imperial envoy was here to investigate the salt administration.

Yao Renji hasn't slept well these days. If he has a ghost in his heart, his family is naturally aware of his family's affairs.

Those who sell private salt, those who pick salt with mud legs, are all small-scale fuss. The real big deal is the salt merchants. Official salt does not have the profits of private salt. These people bribe salt officials in the salt field and turn official salt into private salt. This kind of thing is almost the norm.

Don’t talk about others, but the Zhou family in Cang County goes out to Yanhai every year.

But Yao Renji knew that the Zhou family's official salt was only 20,000 yuan, so how could it be all official salt? Most of them were private salt. Sometimes the Zhou family even sold private salt as official salt.

This is not what Yao Renji is worried about, he is worried about himself.

In recent years, I have collected a lot of benefits from the Zhou family. Even among the entire Cang County, which one has confiscated the Zhou family’s money? Not only his magistrate, but also officials of all sizes in Cangzhou turned a blind eye to the Zhou family’s affairs.

Now that the court has investigated, Yao Renji only hopes that the Zhou family will not show their strength. Thinking of this, Yao Renji couldn't help looking at Zhou Feng, the head of the Zhou family, but saw Zhou Feng looking like an old god, and seemed to care about it at all.
