Chapter 483 Fighting Behind the Scenes, Fang Wakes Out

"Uncle, Hu Guang didn't dig deep last time in Yangzhou Prefecture, but those big salt merchants escaped by chance. Are you really going to move them this time? Those people's men are all desperadoes!"

Back home, after Huang Zhong heard about this, he was a little worried about the counterattack of those salt merchants. WwΔW. Lie Wen. CC

Fang Xing said: "No matter who is behind Hu Huang, I have to respond to the literati's provocation, otherwise those people will think that someone on our side is a vegetarian!"

The last time Fang Xing just watched Hu Guang deal with the suspects in the kidnapping case. When he realized that Hu Guang had missed those big salt merchants, he didn't say a word, and waited until now to reveal it.

Huang Zhong knew about these things the whole time, so at this moment, he fell in admiration for Fang Xing's forbearance and his grasp of timing.

Those big salt merchants are the largest private salt distributors in the south, and last time they only investigated the kidnapping case, so Fang Xing didn't startle the snake, and left it to be dealt with later.

"Now the time is ripe, no matter whether Hu Huang got the goods from them or not, we can follow the clues and find out those big salt merchants directly!"

Fang Xing got up, moved his body and ordered: "When the grandson takes down Hu Huang, you write a report on the private salt in Yangzhou, and let Fang Wu and the others send it to Ye Fan's house."

Ye Fan is very famous recently, because he not only impeached Fang Xing, but also impeached Hu Guang.

The reason he impeached Hu Guang was: Hu Guang looked angry when he saw the grandson, which is domineering! If he is not punished, Ming Dynasty will be in danger!

"This is just a stunned young man, as for Wang Liang..."

Yushi Wang Liang and Fang Xing had a little sympathy when they were in Taizhou Mansion, so Fang Xing wondered if he would take this opportunity to show his face.

Huang Zhong murmured: "Uncle, how about... let Wang Liang be notified first, and then let Ye Fan disrupt the opponent's response..."

"That's a good idea."

Fang Xing praised, and then said: "Pick the timing right, don't let Wang Liang fight alone."

...

The news that Zhu Zhanji sent someone to take down the salt merchant Hu Huang spread quickly, but everyone didn't care.

As the grandson of the emperor, it's really not a big deal for Zhu Zhanji to move a merchant.

You can wait until the morning of the next day,

However, Zhu Di was furious with Hu Huang's confession, and the ministers below were ashamed.

"Are you all blind?"

Zhu Di waved his confession and scolded: "The capital is a dignified city, a place of kindness, but there is a private salt dealer hiding there. This is dereliction of duty!"

"Your Majesty, Yushi Wang Liang has a memorial to enter."

"bring here."

Zhu Di accepted the memorial with still anger in his eyes. After reading it quickly, he sneered and said, "It's very good! It's very good! The canal has not yet been opened, but this private salt entered Jinling City. It really is audacious!"

"Your Majesty, Censor Ye Fan is asking to see you."

Zhu Di frowned, this Ye Fan was too obsessive, and if he caught a little trouble, the bullets rushed in like flying, even Zhu Di didn't want to see him.

"Let him in."

Ye Fan strode in, and after saluting, he got up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I learned today that someone in Yangzhou Prefecture is selling private salt."

After speaking, he took out the memorial and presented it.

After Zhu Di took a look, the anger dissipated a lot, and he just said coldly: "I know."

Yangzhou Prefecture?

All eyes were vaguely focused on Hu Guang and Yang Shiqi.

These two talents served as imperial envoys in Yangzhou Mansion once, and dealt with many officials and merchants.

How long has it been? Another case of private salt broke out in Yangzhou government.

Tsk!

Reminiscing that Hu Huang was also a private salt dealer, the ministers couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Could it be that the grandson of the emperor was beating them?

Hu Guang has been on the wrong track with Zhu Zhanji recently, and even Zhu Di knows this.

It's just that this wrong way is related to Fang Xing's Fangxue, and it belongs to the dispute of orthodoxy, so it can't be brought up on the stage, and can only be negotiated in private.

Hu Guang's face was calm, and he came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, the last time I went to Yangzhou Mansion, I only handled the kidnapping case. Now that such a big case has happened, please go again."

Salt monopoly is the national policy of all dynasties, and it is also one of the important sources of tax revenue.

So it is not an exaggeration for Hu Guang to say that it is a major case.

But he dispelled his responsibility with a few words, which gave people a better understanding of his calmness.

Zhu Di's eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice: "Those salt merchants are very lawless, and many of their men are desperate, so let Xing Hebo handle this matter."

Let Fang wake up?

Hu Guang was a little surprised by this decision.

Zhu Di pressed Fang Xing, wanting to leave him for the prince and grandson, many people have figured out this idea.

But let him do such a hateful thing?

Salt merchants were extravagant, and they were generous in bribing officials. So whoever handles this case will probably attract many secret enemies.

"It's a mediocrity not to be hated!"

Facing Zhu Zhanji, Fang Xing laughed at himself and said, "If I were a good person, those civil servants would probably say that I have great ambitions, so it's better to kill him, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your majesty's caregiver." .”

Zhu Zhanji said worriedly: "Brother Dehua, you have to be careful of assassins when you go to Yangzhou Mansion. Those salt merchants are not good at it!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Unless they use strong bows, there is no chance to get close at all."

Huang Zhong couldn't help asking from the side: "Uncle, since this matter broke out, will someone go to inform those salt merchants?"

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji shook their heads together, and in the end it was Zhu Zhanji who said separately: "Everyone here today is an important minister. If anyone dares to report the news, he will commit suicide to the emperor's grandfather. Copying and beheading the whole family will be considered light."

Fang Xing added: "Even if someone is related to those salt merchants, the most they can do is to go home and destroy the evidence, and those people are all high-ranking and powerful, so the salt merchants simply cannot get close, let alone get any handle!"

When it came to the clue, Fang Xing thought of Yang Shiqi. Last time Fang Xing just nodded vaguely, but today, it seems that this person didn't care at all.

It's good that you don't care!

I won't be polite in the future!

Fang Xing called to get to know Jin and the others, and told them to take care of the academy, then he packed his things and prepared to leave.

While tidying up his clothes, Xiaobai reluctantly said: "Master, why does Your Majesty always order you around?"

Although Zhang Shuhui was reluctant, she laughed when she heard this.

"Husband, this is not bad. Some ministers were sent out to work, and they didn't return home for a year or so."

Fang Xing watched his wives and concubines busy, talking softly, which made people fascinated, and couldn't help feeling that the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes.

After packing up his things, Fang Xing bid farewell to his wife and concubines, and then went directly to the Jubaoshan military camp.

"Uncle, is the whole army going out this time?"

Lin Qun'an had been notified a long time ago, so more than 2,000 people in the camp were already ready.

Fang Xing looked at the energetic soldiers and said in a deep voice: "The destination of this trip is Yangzhou Prefecture, the target is the three big salt merchants, and there are many desperadoes under those salt merchants, so in order to get rid of the evil, we should have The prudence of a lion fighting a rabbit..."

"out!"
