Only then did Sun Piyang nod his head with satisfaction, slapped the agglomeration, and said loudly: "Take a prisoner!"

As Sun Piyang said, the four people in the Zhou family were suppressed and all knelt in a row. Sun Piyang slapped the agglomeration and shouted loudly: "Look at these, they are all evidence of your crime." As he said that, he shook the testimony in his hand.

"The testimony of the sixteen people is really undeniable!"

The four of them were already shaking as if they were sifting. After hearing Sun Piyang's words, Zhou Cang was the first to kneel down and crawl a few steps, saying loudly: "Sir, the villain knows the crime. The villain is willing to confess. Please give him a gentle resignation!"

The other three people were all stunned. Zhou Cang confessed too quickly, right?

The four of them have been separated and closed the four of them in the past few days, and their hearts are also fuzzy. Now, after hearing Zhou Cang's words, they can't help it. They quickly knelt forward and crawled a few steps, and said loudly: "Sir, we are willing to confess too!"

He patted the gavel hard, and Sun Piyang said loudly: "Why are you roaring? If you quarrel, you will decide to roar the court first!"

The four of them suddenly became quiet and all knelt back and stopped talking.

"Come on one by one, Zhou Cang, you can talk first!" Sun Piyang looked at Zhou Cang and said loudly.

"Yes, sir, yes, sir, sir, the villain is the warehouse manager of the Zhou family. Over the years, the Zhou family's private salt has been handed by the villain. The Zhou family's private salt transactions began to grow bigger about ten years ago."

"At first it was more than 100,000 kilograms, but now it is about one million kilograms a year."

"The entire private salt of Hejian Mansion is basically in the hands of the Zhou family, because relying on the Changlu Salt Field, most of the private salts north of Hejian Mansion are transferred out through the Zhou family."

Sun Piyang nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Where have these private salts transferred from?"

"Sir, everyone has been transferred to the Qian family of Hejian Mansion." Zhou Cang did not dare to hide it and quickly spoke.

"Sign up, stamp it!" Sun Piyang nodded and asked the clerk next to him to sign and stamp it for Zhou Cang.

Next, Sun Piyang asked the other three people one after another, and these three people also proved Zhou Cang's words from their own different angles. The accountant talked about money transactions and provided an account book that he wrote down privately.

With this evidence, no one present spoke, and Yao Renji had collapsed to the ground.

"Sir, this account book of the Zhou family bribed officials in Cangzhou!" The servant handed a book book to Sun Piyang.

Sun Piyang nodded and opened the account book. Yao Renji ranked first. Since Yao Renji came to office, the Zhou family has increased the bribes to Yao Renji every year. From the first ten thousand taels of ten thousand taels of ten thousand taels of ten thousand taels this year, it has increased to 50,000 taels of ten thousand taels this year.

There are other officials of Cangzhou, both of them and all, and according to the account book, the Zhou family spends more than 100,000 taels of money on Cangzhou officials every year.

"I'm really rich!" Sun Piyang sighed, turned to look at Yao Renji, and said with a smile: "Yao Renji, you really make me admire you. Cangzhou has only a year of taxes. You dare to take so much money, and you are not afraid of the money biting your hand!"

The last sentence Sun Piyang had already shouted out. He really didn't expect Yao Renji to dare to take so much money.

"Sir, this money is not all. The salt field ambassador of Changlu Salt Field is Yao Renkang, the brother of Yao Renkang. Yao Renkang accounts for 20% of the private salt produced from Changlu Salt Field every year. In fact, since more than ten years, the Zhou family has been bribing the salt field ambassador."

"If you collect money and do things, stay. If you don't collect money and do things, you will be transferred away soon."

Sun Piyang sighed. Such a big case must have been involved in the capital. Although the Qian family is backed by the Marquis of Xining, it is impossible to rely solely on the Marquis of Xining. The Qian family itself is a gentry, and with money to open the way and bribe some officials, it will not take any effort.

"Sign them with the secret!" Sun Piyang sighed and said in a low voice.

When things have reached this point, they are no longer controlled by Sun Piyang, and they can't hold on even if they want to.

"Come here, I will suppress Yao Renji and all the officials of Cangzhou. I will be in charge of Cangzhou these days, and all the matters will be temporarily decided by the official. How to deal with the matter? I will submit the court."

Sun Piyang did not interrogate Zhou Feng. At this time, it was meaningless to interrogate Zhou Feng.

"Eunuch Wang, Qianhu, things have come to this point, and Changlu Salt Field should be in chaos. Soldiers are very fast, so you can set off too!" After leaving the hall, Sun Piyang said to Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi.

"Okay, we will divide our troops into two groups, arresting Yao Renkang, the ambassador of Changlu Salt Field, and Yu Youguang, the Changlu Transport Author."

Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi nodded in agreement, and then the two left separately.

Sun Piyang was not idle either. After returning to the house, he wrote a memorial, wrote down all the cases, and then let someone enter Beijing quickly. All he needed to do is wait for news from the capital.

Until now, Sun Piyang has no way to continue handling the case.

If we want to continue, the court needs to send senior officials, at least at the level of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. This time, when the Qian family is involved and the Qian family is moved, it will definitely involve many people in the court, and maybe there will be senior officials.

In fact, Sun Piyang hopes that it will end here. If it really gets bigger, the entire Hejian Mansion will be unstable.

Capital, Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne and looked at the old man in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You are so old!"

However, with Hai Rui's living standard, it is really not easy for him to live to be over 70 years old, and his vitality is really tenacious. People in this era, living to be over 70 years old is rare!

"Your Majesty, why do you think of me like this?" Hai Rui asked when he saw Zhu Yijun staring at him.

Hai Rui was very thin and looked a little big in the official uniform of Tongzheng and the envoy, but the old man's eyes were very clear. He spoke very well, but in general, he was still healthy.

"I have heard of my name as my beloved, so when I see you today, I will naturally have to take a closer look." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Some reputation is not worth mentioning!" Hai Rui shook his head and said seriously: "What can I count as to the welfare of all people in the world? I submitted a memorial a few days ago, asking the emperor to restore the legal system of Taizu. I wonder if the emperor can read it?"

Zhu Yijun was stunned. After traveling for so long, this was the first minister to dare to ask himself whether he had read his memorial!

Is Hai Rui worthy of being Hai Rui?

"I have seen it, and after watching it, I have been thinking for a long time, and I have been sleeping for a few nights." When he said this, Zhu Yijun sighed: "I don't know the problems of the Ming Dynasty, but many things can affect my whole body!"
