Chapter 336

After Zhang Hao saw Xu Jie's letter, he knew that Jiajing was going to start attacking the King of Jin, so Zhang Hao needed to reply to Xu Jie first and wrote some evidence on the letter.

After writing, Zhang Hao asked the brothers of the Jinyiwei to set off overnight, and did not delay, and tried to send them to Xu Jie tomorrow morning.

As for the inquiry letter from the Censorate, Zhang Hao put it aside first, and did not worry. He replied to the inquiry letter from the Censorate. That is, he really started a war with the King of Jin, because if the Inspectorate received Zhang Hao's reply, he would immediately initiate the impeachment of the King of Jin, including the impeachment of Zhang Hao's previous officials. There is real evidence on the Censorate.

Moreover, this evidence was sent to the Censorate through formal channels. This cannot be faked unless Zhang Hao doesn’t even want this marquis!

"Okay, it's going to start!" Zhang Hao sat there with a smile at the moment, and his heart was much more relaxed.

"Sir, will we arrest people from the King of Jin tomorrow?" Chen Lian asked Zhang Hao.

"Why do you want to catch them? Just catch salt merchants, but those salt merchants are also unlucky. If they don't cooperate with King Jin and others, I really have no way to deal with them. The key is that they still collect taxes from the people. If you say you can collect them, you will collect them. You will give them to the government, and you have not paid them. These are all death sentences! If these salt merchants and their families die, it is really not worth it!" Zhang Hao sat there and said with a little regret.

"Sir, do you still sympathize with them?" Chen Lian asked with a smile when he heard this.

"I sympathize with those children and some innocent women. I sympathize with the salt merchants. They have violated my Ming laws many times, so I'm not to cherish death!" Zhang Hao looked at Chen Lian and said.

"Then arrest people early tomorrow morning?" Chen Lian said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, catch them early tomorrow morning and let them have a good sleep in the restaurant!" Zhang Hao nodded and said,

In my heart, I was thinking that how to save those innocent people and whether they could be saved depends on whether they could let them go here. If they were sent to the capital, they would definitely not be able to save them. This matter still needs to be done by themselves.

There are many underage children in the families of these salt merchants. It would be a pity and a brutal one if they were killed like this. Those adults were wrong, but the children were right. In addition, those salt merchants had many concubines. Some concubines were robbed and bought. If they died like this, it would be a pity and unjust.

"Sir. Sir?" While Zhang Hao was thinking about how to save them, Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng came over.

"Well, the matters on the salt field have been done?" Zhang Hao looked at Hu Zongxian and asked.

"Sir, I've done it. An announcement has been posted. We have posted all the experiment prices. We will buy the salt on the last day of every ten years. There is still a lot of salt in the salt farm. I plan to ask someone to collect it tomorrow, but now I don't have money, and I haven't received the salt that has been spread out yet!" Hu Zongxian said to Zhang Hao.

"How much is expected?" Zhang Hao asked as he looked at Hu Zongxian.

"Sir, it is estimated that 20,000 taels of silver!" Hu Zongxian immediately bowed and said.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he took out a silver note from his pocket, counted 20,000 taels, and handed it over to Hu Zongxian.

"Take it and collect it. I'll give it to me when I get the money back!" Zhang Hao explained to Hu Zongxian.

"Sir, Mr. Hu Zongxian took it and bowed to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, you two have been busy for a day. If there is nothing else, go and rest!" Zhang Hao said to them, and they immediately bowed to Zhang Hao and retreated.

Early the next morning, after Zhang Hao got up, he had dinner first. At this moment, in the restaurant, the salt merchants were also sitting there for breakfast. Their breakfast was rich. Their home was wealthy before, and now they didn't know that they would not be able to eat such good food tomorrow, so now they are very willing to do so. Some people are sitting there for dinner, but they are actually just chewing wax. They have something to do, so how can they eat well?

"Come on a pot of wine!" a salt merchant shouted loudly. Drinking early in the morning was only possible for people in a very bad mood.

"Okay, my master, send it here right now!" The waiter greeted with a smile, and then prepared to go get the wine.

But at this time, many Jinyiwei came in outside. When the salt merchants saw them, they immediately knew that something was wrong.

"You, you, and you,... you! Take it away!" A hundred households began to order people in the lobby, and some Jinyiwei had already gone to the accommodation in the back and started to catch people. In a short while, the dozens of salt merchants were arrested.

"Sir, didn't Mr. Lu An let us go? Why are we arrested again now? What does it mean?" Zhang Sijiao was escorted and said very dissatisfied.

"What does it mean? It's time to catch you? What else does it mean?" the hundred-hunter said with a smile.

"I'm wronged, wronged!" Zhang Sijiao shouted loudly. The Jinyiwei was not used to his problem. He pushed his knees and almost vomited out the things he had just eaten.

"Take them away!" The hundred households waved their hands and all the people were taken away. On Zhu Xinlong's side, Zhu Xinlong had just sat there for breakfast.

"Master, Master, it's not good. Those salt merchants have been arrested!" A manager ran in quickly and spoke before he could stand firm.

"What did you say? I was arrested. When did it happen?" Zhu Xinlong looked at the in charge in surprise.

"Just just now, I'm still escorting them to the cell, lord!" the in charge continued.

"What Zhang Hao wants to do? There is no conclusion in the court yet, so he will arrest people. Didn't he say it before? We have to wait for the conclusion in the court to talk about it?" Zhu Xinlong's face was blue at this moment.

He didn't expect that those people had only been out for a few days and went in again! The people below didn't dare to answer the conversation, they just stood there to serve Zhu Xinlong.

Zhu Xinlong sat down and thought carefully. He still held a bowl in his hand and ate, but he didn't know what he was eating.

Soon, some people from the royal family rushed to him, including the general of Zhenguo, the general of the auxiliary country, the lieutenant of the auxiliary country, etc., they were all from the royal family and the King of Jin.

"I said Lao Liu. What should I do now? You are the think tank at home, and my brother listens to you. Now this is the case, what should I do!" A middle-aged man looked at Zhu Xinlong and said, "He is Zhu Xinqing's younger brother, the second-ranked prince, while Zhu Xinlong is the sixth-ranked, but he was named General of the auxiliary country.

"Second brother, I don't know what to do now? My elder brother is in the capital, and I don't know what happened. Today I have reached this point. I feel that we have made mistakes step by step. We shouldn't have been concerned about the affairs of the Wu family before.

But the elder brother didn't want to lose the Wu family, so he went to the capital. Unexpectedly, the loss was even greater. This time, the emperor might have deliberately beaten us, the salt might have to be taken back, and the same is true for those pig iron. This time, our King of Jin may have to lose huge losses!" Zhu Xinlong sat there and said in a sigh.

"How could this happen? It's so good. Why did the emperor deal with us?" The prince asked at Zhu Xinlong, and the others were also staring at him.

"It is because the Wu family is suspected of smuggling. We hope that the emperor will not punish the Wu family. We also want to pull Zhang Hao down, which angered the emperor. Now we can only explain this way. However, the emperor's purpose is that he still doesn't want the court to make a case for money. However, the elder brother dare not open this gap. Once it is opened, the other vassal kings will have their opinions. After all, there are many money every year. If it is cut off like this, everyone will definitely not agree!" Zhu Xinlong said helplessly.

"What should we do now? That's how we sit down?" the prince continued to stare at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"Immediately write to my elder brother and ask me to apologize. This may result in a lighter punishment!" Zhu Xinlong said to the prince.

"Ask apologize, I don't know what the result is, so I apologize. In addition, isn't the capital active? Are you going to pull Zhang Hao down? Are we a little confused?" Another general of the auxiliary country looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"I'm worried that it might be just the beginning. If the elder brother can really pull Zhang Hao down, it's fine, but if it can't pull it down, Zhang Hao will take revenge!" Zhu Xinlong looked at them and asked.

"I think I'd better wait. I just caught those salt merchants. We don't know the situation in the capital. However, we can write a letter to tell the elder brother and ask the elder brother what should we do now?" The prince thought about it and looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"That's fine!" Zhu Xinlong still felt bad. There was no way. He didn't know much now, so he couldn't handle Zhang Hao here.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" At this moment, the sound of smashing the door came from outside, and a manager ran over quickly: "Master, you are not doing well. There were many Jinyiwei and imperial guards outside, and one of them smashed the door of our mansion with a hammer!"

"What?" Zhu Xinlong stood up in surprise when he heard this, and then walked out quickly, and Zhang Hao had already smashed the door open.

"Zhu Xinlong, you bastard, I'll hammer you to death!" Zhang Hao was about to hammer Zhu Xinlong with a hammer. Zhu Xinlong saw that it was Zhang Hao, and when he saw him running over with a hammer, he was so scared that he ran back immediately.

"Hey, Lu Anhou, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what's going on?" Zhu Xinlong shouted loudly while running, and the Jinyiwei also quickly controlled the entire area, so Zhang Hao could not be in danger.
