Chapter 103 The Emperor's Sword

Killing people, or killing salt merchants, is not the purpose. The purpose is to make salt merchants obedient and let them do what they think.

Zhu Yijun knew his purpose very well, but he also knew that it would be hopeless to not fight or kill, and to make others obedient. The salt merchants in Jiangnan have almost forgotten the sword of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty over the years.

"There is no need to send the memorials for impeaching Zhang Jing in the future!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang He and said.

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang He agreed and quickly removed all the notes.

Zhu Yijun stood up and walked to the huge map. His expression on his face was extremely solemn. His eyes were in the northwest. Compared to the northwest, Yangzhou salt merchants were nothing. This battle would completely enhance the power of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest.

"Do it well!"

Zhu Yijun was also extremely nervous. If he lost this battle, his ten years of hard work and Zhang Juzheng's hard work would have all been involved. This time, he was a battle to treasury, and at the same time he was ready to fill in the inner treasury.

After fighting this battle, I probably couldn't even get the rewarded silver. This is also the reason why I sent Zhang Jing to Yangzhou, and I had to cut leeks!

Yangzhou City, the imperial envoy.

Zhang Jing glanced at Li Zhongxing and showed a calm smile on his face: "Is this the list drawn up by General Manager Li?"

Li Zhongxing quickly smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the list drawn up by the official."

To be honest, Li Zhongxing always feels lacking confidence when facing Zhang Jing. Although he is now the chief supervisor, this chief supervisor has no power at all. Facing a large private eunuch like Zhang Jing, he is naturally short.

Picking up the list from the table, Zhang Jing looked through it, and said with a smile: "Thirty-six families, Mr. Li is very ruthless!"

After hearing Zhang Jing's words, Li Zhongxing smiled awkwardly: "Eunuch Zhang, this is according to His Majesty's instructions. These people above are all selling private salt to oppress good people, and basically everyone in their families have lives in their hands."

Although Li Zhongxing said this and even carried Zhu Yijun out, he was still a little guilty.

I copied thirty-six companies at once, and the blame was not small. This was to let Zhang Jing take the blame!

Zhang Jing nodded, looked at Li Zhongxing, and said with a smile: "Our family will ask someone to investigate. If there is no problem, then the house will be searched according to the list of General Manager Li! But if there is any problem, General Manager Li will have to give our family an explanation."

In fact, Zhang Jing was not worried about the wronged ones among the thirty-six families, but was worried that Li Zhongxing would have a shelter.

In the final analysis, Li Zhongxing is also a salt merchant in Yangzhou, so it is not uncommon to really do things to cover up.

However, Li Zhongxing's family knew his own family affairs, and this time the emperor used his sword. To be honest, Li Zhongxing was also frightened. With Li Zhongxing's shrewdness, he naturally would not do stupid things at this time to cover up? Who should he protect himself from raiding his family? Who deserves to cover up?

"The officials are screened according to the files given by the internal factory, and there is no shelter." Li Zhongxing said this loudly and confidently.

After looking at Li Zhongxing, Zhang Jing nodded: "That's good, our family will check with the internal factory."

Li Zhongxing smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course, there is nothing wrong, so the official said goodbye."

Zhang Jing nodded, but did not get up to see him off. When Li Zhongxing left, Zhang Jing sighed, took the list and handed it to the little eunuch beside him: "Compare with the list handed over by the inner factory."

"Yes, godfather!" the little eunuch agreed, took the list and compared it.

While Zhang Jing was waiting, Xu Xiti walked in from outside, shook her head, looking like a playboy. When she saw Zhang Jing, Xu Xiti smiled and bowed to Zhang Jing: "Eunuch Zhang!"

"Little Master!" Zhang Jing smiled and stood up to greet him, and politely asked Xu Xiti to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Xu Xiti glanced at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang is going to make a big move?"

"What big move, the final ending!" Zhang Jing said with a smile: "After this period, our affairs will be over. The rest is the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it has nothing to do with us."

Xu Xiti nodded and said with a smile: "It's so good, it's done as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Mr. Master, have your affairs done?" Zhang Jing looked at Xu Xiti and asked hesitantly.

"It's done!" Xu Xiti said with a smile: "My father came forward in person, arrested three commanders, and then beheaded in two days. I really didn't expect that the Qi family still had such great ability, and his hands reached to the local garrison."

After hearing Xu Xiti's words, Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's fine if it's done, it's fine if it's done!"

"If this matter is done, we will have no hidden dangers." Zhang Jing said with a smile: "The rest depends on the inner factory. I guess they will take action tonight, and I believe it will not be a problem."

Xu Xiti nodded: "Eunuch Zhang, don't know what the prefect of Yangzhou Qin Hewen, what will be done with the situation?"

"Young master wants to protect him?" Zhang Jing looked at Xu Xiti, without taking a turn, and spoke directly.

Xu Xiti was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Jing to be so direct, so he smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang was kidding. The Duke of Wei was in charge of Jiangnan. He was in charge of military generals and local garrisons. How could he be a civil servant!"

Although he said this, Xu Xiti was cursing in her heart, Zhang Jing turned against him.

After so many days, he has been helping me hard and hard, and he has shied away all this.

In Xu Xiti's opinion, it is enough for Yangzhou officials to take down Yan Huaiyuan, and Qin Hewen is a small character who is not important at all. He raised his hand and let it go. But since Zhang Jing exposed it directly, this is not giving him face!

Xu Xiti secretly cursed the benefits in her heart and fed the dogs, and Zhang Jing also secretly cursed in her heart.

What is this place? This is Yangzhou. If things are so big, can the emperor's eyes leave this place? At this time, how bold and arrogant you are to do such things. If you dare to do it in the Duke of Wei, I, a eunuch, dare not.

Zhang Jing naturally knew clearly about the idea of ​​the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.

Although most of the officials in Yangzhou were damaged this time and the salt merchants were also seriously injured, this place is still Yangzhou and the center of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation. The location of the Yangzhou Prefect is very important.

At this time, Qin Hewen will be protected, and then Qin Hewen will definitely follow the leader of the Duke of Wei's mansion from then on.

Not to mention that the entire Jiangnan salt transportation fell into the Duke of Wei's Mansion, at least half of it would fall into the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

In Zhang Jing's view, the Duke of Wei is just trying to kill him. The emperor has put so much effort into Yangzhou for so many years and devoted all the energy of the inner factory to Yangzhou. Will you pick this peach?

If you dare to stretch out your hand, the emperor will never mind cutting off one of your arms.

Although Zhang Jing also wanted to see Duke Wei’s Mansion betrayal, Zhang Jing knew that if he dared to make such a hole, Duke Wei’s Mansion would lose his arms, and his head would definitely lose his head. There was no need to hesitate at all for this matter, just be determined.

Although the two of them were smiling and drinking tea, the atmosphere gradually became awkward and they gradually had no time to talk.

"Commander, the imperial envoy has sent a letter from the headquarters. All the people from the garrison have been taken down. All three commanders, none of them have been arrested." Hei Ge came to Qi Ying and said in a deep voice.

Qi Ying nodded, and felt relieved: "This is the best."

"Who would have thought that Qi Heng was so brave and actually bought three commanders." Qi Ying sighed and said, "Fortunately we discovered it early, otherwise this time would be bad."

Hei Ge nodded and said, "Sir, those three commanders were not bought by Qi Heng, but arranged by Qi Heng."

"They were originally the Qi family, and this is the news that Xi Magpie just sent." Hei Ge handed a piece of information to Qi Ying and said with a smile: "Our magpie is capable, and you can get such information."

After looking at the information, Qi Ying sighed, "It's really deep-rooted!"

"If they really let their troops carry forward the Zhou Prefecture, we will have great trouble. The whole Huaihe River will be in chaos, and our heads will not be able to be kept at that time." Qi Ying said with lingering fear: "Okay, there is still one last step. After that, we can leave this ghost place."

"The manpower has been summoned, we can set off at any time!" Hei Ge said with a smile, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

Carrying the family.

Qi Heng sat in the study, his face a bit ferocious, and the old housekeeper beside him was serving him respectfully.

"Master, our staff is in place and we will attack Yangzhou City tomorrow night. Han San and the others will lead their men to open the Yangzhou city gate, and then they will cooperate inside and outside to take down Yangzhou City in one fell swoop."

Qi Heng nodded: "This time our Qi family's family business is over."

"Master, keep the green mountains here, and you are not afraid of burning firewood." The old housekeeper comforted: "We have grabbed the last time in Yangzhou City this time, which is enough for us to make a comeback. Leaving Yangzhou, we are like dragons entering the sea, and the court can't do anything to us."

"Let everyone in the mansion be ready, let's rush out tomorrow!"

Qi Heng said fiercely.

"Yes, lord!" The housekeeper agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Qi Heng was very confident about his plan because he had soldiers in his hands. After occupying Yangzhou, he robbed and then took a boat to sea. As for the sky, it would be that the sky would be high and the birds would fly.

"Yan Huaiyuan, Zhang Jing, I'll ask you to check me and wait for me to cut off your heads in person."

Unlike other salt merchants, the biggest reason why Qi family can do so big and grow so fast is because of smuggling. Smuggling and smuggling salt and connecting Japanese pirates. These Qi family have done it. Even the Qi family has a fleet outside the sea, which is also the confidence of Qi family.
