All the Yangzhou officials have been waiting for Jia Zhen's news. Although Jia Zhen is the censor, as long as they are united, I believe that Jia Boxi will not be able to turn the sky around. Even Lin Hai is also wondering where Jia Zhen will come from. set about.Unlike everyone's nervousness, Jia Zhen was quite at ease. After finishing her work, she wandered around Yangzhou city, listened to books, or shared some classics of mountains and seas with others. She didn't seem to care much.All the officials thought about the generous meeting gift they had given back then, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, could it be that these things played a role, but the officials in Jinling should be like them, and would not neglect Jia Zhen.

No one expected that Jia Zhen would attack the three major salt merchants in Yangzhou after staying in Yangzhou for two months.Speaking of it, the three major salt merchants are too self-righteous. Seeing that Jia Zhen has not moved for a long time, and they each have a backer to rely on, they no longer take Jia Zhen to heart, continue their previous luxurious life, and even hold a fight again. The competition between the rich and the rich, and the opportunity for Jia Zhen to launch the attack was precisely when they were fighting for the rich. He led the officers, soldiers and cronies, and tied them all up. Nearly three-fifths of the family property has been checked by Jia Zhen and registered in the register. Facing the numerous gold and silver treasures, jewelry and jade, and looking at Jia Zhen sitting upright holding Shang Fang's sword, they can only close their eyes. If they say nothing, they can only hope that the three salt merchants will keep their private dealings well hidden.

"Release soon, I'm the eldest prince's brother-in-law." A well-dressed young man described himself as embarrassed and was escorted by the soldiers brought by Jia Zhen. "Really?" The corners of Jia Zhen's mouth curled up slightly, and the officials rushing over couldn't help slandering this idiot in their hearts, saying that it was not good, but they had to say this, if Jia Zhen had the heart, just rely on these words Enough to bring about disaster. "Still shut up?" A clever official next to him hurriedly shouted at this person named Qian Kun, but his eyes were fixed on Jia Zhen, and he was constantly thinking about how to make Jia Zhen stop.After all, if this matter intends to expand, they will have to go around.

"Not to mention anything else, just say that candles are used as firewood. This is really rich. Colleagues, what do you think? I don't know what else can be found?" Jia Zhen said calmly, without mentioning just now Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked at the boxes of gold and silver jewellery, rare antiques, and interest-free IOUs that were carried out, and looked at the officials of Yangzhou with a smile in his eyes.Some timid officials were so frightened that their feet were limp. The one in front of him was said to have killed someone on the battlefield, so he was not a fool.

"Speaking of which, I just found out today that I have so many relatives. Uncle Guo, brother-in-law, I have never heard of them for so many years." Jia Zhen casually picked up a box full of high-quality pearls of various colors, Let those beads slip from his hand and fall back into the box.If it was possible, the eyes of the officials present would turn into knives and slash at those tightly bound people.The royal relatives and relatives who are serious and honest are here, and it's their turn to mess up their status and relationship, they are simply seeking their own death.However, they were more worried about themselves at this time, and they had to find a way to get Jia Zhen to leave as soon as possible, at least the account books would not fall into Jia Zhen's hands.

"What Mr. Jia said is that I was too negligent in the past, which made this villain so rampant, not only wasting the people's fat and anointing, but also acting so boldly and domineering." An official said with a smile, "My lord has been busy for a day. I’m tired too, so leave the rest to us so that we can redeem our sins.” As soon as this official spoke, other officials followed suit. "No need, I am responsible for the emperor's mandate, I dare not slack off in the slightest, I appreciate the kindness of everyone." Jia Zhen's face was solemn and her tone was very sincere, which made all the officials even more aggrieved.However, Lin Hai, who knew Jia Zhen's thoughts well, was trying to restrain his expression, still showing a very worried look, and was indignant at the behavior of the salt merchants, but he was thinking about how to use this incident so that he could never get rid of it. One year is enough for the salt censor to get out of the salt administration, but he has to think more about what to do in the future.

The seizure of the three major salt merchants was only the first step in the cleansing of Yangzhou’s officialdom. Not only were other salt merchants affected, but officials were thrown into jail one after another. The cleansing of Yangzhou’s officialdom was more powerful than that of Jinling. Not only can it be described as anger, but his sons are really capable. Not to mention the beautiful wives and concubines in each family, they even have skinny horses, and the filial piety they receive every year is an eye-opener for him. With the money, the power, and the support of so many trusted officials, the next step is to rebel.Thinking that he was very generous to the dignitaries in the past, most of the country's military power was in the hands of the four kings and the dignitaries, and now looking at the income they only got from the two places in Jinling, Yangzhou, it was enough to make Emperor Wen Yuan want to kill , the first prince and the second prince were even more unwelcome, and even the fourth prince who was found out together this time aroused Emperor Wen Yuan's suspicion.

"You have done too well." Lin Hai couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a sigh. "They don't care about me now. Even if they intend to deal with me, it depends on whether the Holy Majesty agrees." Jia Zhen shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Jia's family has been in the capital for many years. He has eyes and ears. Simply speaking, Jia Amnesty has already passed on the news for his own family. I heard that the memorials of his own impeachment have been piled up on the desk of Emperor Wen Yuan, and they are all subordinates of the princes. It is a pity that Emperor Wen Yuan is afraid He was worried about his own safety, so he had no time to whitewash the peace.

"It seems that you are quite optimistic." Lin Hai stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and said with a clear face. "It's hard to say, maybe one day I will have a better choice." Jia Zhen picked up a black stone from the chess box and put it on the board. He did have a slight preference for that one, but it wouldn't happen if he wasn't careful. Discover. "I said this just to remind you to be careful. I can see it, but others may not be able to see it." Lin Hai admitted that Jia Zhen's actions were really subtle. If he hadn't accidentally learned the identity of that person, he probably wouldn't have been able to guess Jia Zhen. the meaning of. "Don't worry, someone will finish it off. Besides, so what if I'm found out? I've already been labeled as that person. It doesn't matter if it's more or less. The most important thing is——" Jia Zhen paused for a moment, playing chess with one hand, The other hand pointed to the sky, and then continued, "Need me."

"Be careful when you go out recently, all kinds of ghosts and snakes are out in Yangzhou now." Lin Hai has been in the officialdom for many years, and because of his position, he has seen many things. "Don't worry, I also took care of a few trailing people yesterday." Jia Zhen couldn't help frowning when she mentioned this, but no matter how capable these people are, they are much safer than that monk. He was afraid of this. It would be troublesome for a monk to collude with these people. "What do you seem to be more worried about?" Lin Hai narrowed his eyes. He felt that these people alone could not make Jia Zhen so solemn. "It's nothing, I just remembered some things, it's a bit tricky." Jia Zhen didn't intend to reveal this matter to Lin Hai, although they were relatives by marriage, they couldn't be regarded as friends after all, and some things couldn't be shared.

Lin Hai saw that Jia Zhen was unwilling to speak and was not persistent. Everyone has their own position and ideas, which cannot be forced, so he turned to another topic and said, "What are you going to do next? The remaining salt merchants and Those that have not come out of the water, you have to be careful." "Salt merchants, shouldn't you take care of them, Mr. Lin, who is patrolling the salt censor? As for those people, I believe they will go to the prison to taste them soon." A taste of the bitterness of life." Jia Zhen didn't put her mind on the salt merchants in the first place, and the three major salt merchants who were arrested were just introductions. If you want to blame them, they are too arrogant and don't know how to restrain themselves. Otherwise, It will not be so smooth for him to clean up Yangzhou officialdom.

"It's good for me. I got a chance to be a good person." Lin Hai smiled slightly. These days, the salt merchants have restrained a lot, and even the accounts are much more real than before. It can be seen that Jia Zhen's actions have indeed played a great role. deterrent effect.The most important thing now is to divide the relationship between the salt merchants and the officials in Yangzhou, and it is necessary to adopt a soft policy. "You're welcome. My reputation is so good now. This person is afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong. I, a master of Qingtian, can't do things that destroy my reputation." Jia Zhen waved her hand casually to appease the salt merchant. It is imperative, but it's a pity that he can't take the lead in this matter. Yangzhou is not the hometown of Jia's family like Jinling, but fortunately, with Lin Hai's help, he can rest assured.

Hearing that Jia Zhen was so satisfied with her reputation, Lin Hai could still boast. He really didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "The salt merchant should have moved a long time ago, but I haven't been in Yangzhou long after all. It’s easy to start. It’s a good thing for me to have a ready-made opportunity.” Lin Hai was already thinking about who should fill the vacancies of the three major salt merchants, and those who should take the opportunity to take care of them, but although he was thinking Regarding the matter, Lin Hai still played chess very carefully, and Jia Zhen did not find a chance to win a game.

Here Jia Zhen and Lin Hai are discussing things, and the Yangzhou officials are not calm. "If we don't push this Jia Zhen down, it will be our turn to be unlucky tomorrow." An official said, with a hostile look on his face. "The meaning of the above has not yet come down, we have also sent a lot of people, but they all failed." Another official said. "Wait for the meaning above, the day lily is cold, this batch of people can't do it, let's just change another batch. Could it be that Jia Boxi is some kind of god who can't be reincarnated? Although it's really difficult to kill him, it's not a bad idea to kill him." It's possible." The official who got angry before hastily said. "Wait, I have an idea." An official who had been silent before suddenly straightened up and said with a smile on his face.

"What idea?" The two people who spoke before looked at him with a little frown. "It's a god." The official said with a look of color on his face, "Although we can't invite any gods, an expert can still find them." "Hmph, are you sure you're not a liar?" Another official said with a sneer. "This expert has real skills. He is now at my house. I heard that he seems to be having trouble with this Jia Boxi. If we can give them a chance, let them get rid of Jia Boxi for us, and then put the blame on them On the body, rectify the law on the spot, and give the first explanation, even the crown prince and the eldest princess can stop here." The official who proposed then stated his plan again. "The expert you said is really so godlike?" Some officials still couldn't believe it and asked. "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can come to my house to prove it yourself." Speaking of this, the official couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Being able to get an expert to visit him in person shows that he is destined to have a noble person to help him , the future is bright, much better than these people in front of you.
