Chapter 353 Involvement

There are definitely a few of the most profitable errands in the long run. If you do a song and a training course, you will definitely make a fortune that you can't eat or use for several lifetimes.

The difference between being clean and clean in this position is not whether you make money or not, but how much. For example, Qian Chunping's ex worked as a senior for three years and after returning home, he claimed to be rich in his county, which is considered to be extremely honest.

However, everything is risky, and there is the benefit of making money in large quantities, so there is naturally the risk of being caught and dismissed from office and imprisonment. Your ex-wife will go home peacefully. You are caught and hurt by your feet. This is helpless, so it should be done.

Although the actions of Wang Tong, the Qianhu, of Tianjin Weijin Yiwei, were noticed, but this was a coincidence with the Hejian Prefecture to annihilate some evil people and find out that the Yanyun Department had experienced something, everyone just smiled. Qian Chunping, who had just been in office for a year, was really unlucky, that's all.

Everyone in the cabinet was aware of the news that came from Tongzhengsi. Some people read it from beginning to end, and some people read it from excerpts from the bookkeeper.

As a person in the center of the world, you must be most alert to the movements in the court. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be plotted against by others.

In the east city of the capital, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Minister of Rites Shen Shixing's residence, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were all routine, and the Minister of Rites did not need to participate too much in command. He always carefully read the news from the Tongzheng Department. At this time, the listeners in the mansion didn't even dare to eat food. They all followed the orders in front of the hall. Their own masters often asked for information about anything. They knew who they knew, and they had to do whatever they wanted, without any delay.

Shen Shixing sat in the study room, and high-ranking officials and nobles had special books at home. When they bought the news about Tongzhengsi, they quickly copied it out.

Although it is a fly-headed small calligraphy, it is extremely neat and it is not difficult to see. Shen Shixing looked at it calmly, nodding or shaking his head from time to time, and seeing a certain line of characters.

"Changlu Salt Transportation Department experienced Qian Chunping selling private salt because of collusion with salt owls"

Shen Shixing's eyes stopped on this line of words, and his expression became cautious. After reading "Qian Chunping" several times, he showed a smile on his face and threw the fold on the table, and said loudly:

"Go and invite Lord Huang from the Ministry of Justice to come to the mansion to discuss it."

He spoke out and went out hurriedly. Huang Yuewen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was promoted by Shen Shixing when he was the Minister of Justice. The two of them were fellow villagers and had always had a close relationship."

Most officials live in Dongcheng and Xicheng, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall and the Minister of War Zhang Siwei's residence is not far from Shen Shixing's residence. The news from Tongzhengsi's office is that it is earlier to the Zhang Mansion as usual than to the Shen Mansion.

Zhang Siwei naturally saw the news that Shen Shixing saw, but there was no smile on his face, but instead he was a little gloomy and asked:

"How did this matter come to Changlu?"

"The young men received news the day before yesterday that it was said that a group of private salt dealers in Qingxian County, Wang Tong, were involved in the investigation and were sent to the Ministry of Justice."

"Have the captain's documents been issued?"

"If you want to go back to the master, you must write tomorrow as soon as possible. According to the rules, three days later, the Changlu Hejian Mansion should send a serviceman."

"Don't teach me the rules, go and call Zhang Quan!"

Zhang Siwei has always been known for his calmness and elegance, and it is rare for people below to see his harsh appearance, and they all look silent and hurriedly go to do it.

When they went out, they called someone. Zhang Siwei called his Changsui again and said in a solemn voice: "Xiao Si, go and inquire now. It's the process of Qingxian's extermination of the Yan Xiao. The finer the better. Just withdraw the money and go."

The eldest son received the order and did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly went out to do the job. When he went out, Zhang Quan was already at the door. Zhang Siwei waved his hand to repel all the servants and kept Zhang Quan alone.

Zhang Quan has a high status in the Zhang Mansion, with the title of three stewards of the foreign mansion, but he never cared about anything he had to do with. He lived in a small house beside the wall and never contacted others.

Everyone originally looked down on Zhang Quan quite despised Zhang Quan. However, Zhang Siwei's new concubine brother had a conflict with Zhang Quan for some reason. The concubine came to Zhang Siwei's side, but he did not expect that Lord Zhang would use family rules to his beloved concubine. Since then, no one dared to offend Zhang Quan again.

Moreover, Zhang Quan is working outside all day long, and often when he is away for a few days or even half a month, no one knows what he is doing, but no one dares to ask or care, so he just stays away from him.

Zhang Quan is thick and big, and is slightly taller than ordinary people. He always has a gloomy face and walks silently. Such people are afraid of being avoided when they see them. I don’t know why Zhang Siwei values ​​him so much.

"Do you still remember Qian Chunping?"

As soon as Zhang Quan entered the door, he stood aside with his hands down. Zhang Siwei asked straight to the point, and Zhang Quan nodded and said:

"The villain remembers that his child was taken away by the little man."

"The Qingke Hunter is the most incapable of doing things. He will be scolded if he gives a fat man. Qian Chun has committed any trouble, and the arrester will be issued tomorrow, and the electricity will be released." It is a small matter, but I will say anything else."

Zhang Siwei paused at this point, coughed and continued:

"To be sure, you will go to Changlu once today."

Zhang Quan bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Young man is leaving the city now, don't worry. This matter must be done properly

Zhang Siwei nodded, and Zhang Quan turned around and went out. The house was empty, and the copper furnace and silver charcoal made Zhang Siwei's study very warm. However, Zhang Siwei, who had always been calm, felt a little anxious on his face. He got up and walked around the desk for a few times, took out a book on the bookshelf and flipped it out casually, and said loudly:

"Please come by Mr. Fu!?"

When Mr. Fu, who was thin and wrinkled on his face, walked into the study, Zhang Siwei was already sitting in front of the desk, calmly reading the book.

Mr. Fu is also a weird person in the Shangshu Mansion. Although he is called Mr., he has no gentle temperament. However, the Zhang Mansion Manager has not figured out the accounts several times. After reading the accounts, Mr. Fu immediately sorted them out. He was obviously a shopkeeper of the account. It is not a master's secretary.

"Mr. Fu, who are the Changlu Salt Transportation, Beizhili and the Beijing Shishi profit from it?"

At noon on the 27th day of the first lunar month, in the Suzhou Guild Hall.

Among the guild halls in the capital, Suzhou guild halls are the largest, not only Suzhou scholars and merchants, but also people from Songjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture and other places in Nanzhili also often come and go.

The reason is very simple. Most officials and scholars came from Jiangnan, and most wealthy businessmen were in the south, and they were in this guild hall. Everything was very convenient for me to make contact with each other nearby.

Officials in the capital like to meet guests and have banquets at the Suzhou Guild Hall, and even when they are free, they are willing to drink tea and chat here. There are always some benefits.

Just going out for a youth outing in the city is also one of the topics of people. Many people warmly invited Li Sancai, the Shandong Officer of the Ministry of Revenue, to go with him. Li Sancai agreed with a smile.

While chatting and laughing, a man who looked like a servant hurriedly walked into the house and greeted everyone. He leaned into Li Sancai's ear and whispered a few words.

Everyone in the room saw Li Sancai's face changed. Although they immediately asked the servant to retreat, their expressions were as normal. Although everyone was not easy to ask, they were curious in their hearts.

As usual, Li Sancai, who had to stay in the Suzhou Guild Hall until the afternoon, said a few words and left in a hurry. This made everyone's curiosity much heavier.

Yuanwailang was a small official position in the capital. He often learned the news later than the bosses. Often, the relevant yamen issued official documents, and only those who were well-informed could find out.

The Li family is the number one rich businessman in Tongzhou, and mainly relies on Tongzhou as the end of the canal and the logistics hub of the capital. It also serves in the Ministry of Revenue, is tax-free, and has various conveniences.

Li Sancai had many rivers, cars, horses, and warehouses on the shore at home. Since there was such a deal, he would have to pass Tianjin Wei and would have to be taxed. This was a grudge.

Since there is a transaction in transportation and storage, private salt is very profitable, and you must deal with it when entering and leaving the capital. If you are greedy for this profit, it is not impossible to sell it yourself.

The salt of Changlu Salt Transportation Department is naturally closely related to the capital. In the Salt Transportation Department, the salt transport commander sits on the ground to collect money. He doesn’t need to do anything by himself, and the salt merchants will send it here.

But as a Salt Transportation Department, some things have to be done by themselves, including salt trading, public and private compensation, official and salt trading, etc. Since this Salt Transportation Department has been arrested, those who have dealt with him will definitely be involved.

What's the matter with the salt merchant Yan Xiao? If it is related to the official, it will greatly harm the career. Although private salt makes money, it is considered the first-class low-level career.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, when Li Sancai appeared in the Suzhou Guild Hall again, his face was quite heavy. When everyone asked, he sighed and replied:

"The King of Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Tong was arbitrarily in Tianjin. He actually went to Qingxian County, Hejian Prefecture, wiped out a Zhuangzi, and identified him as a bandit in the salt lord, confiscated some of the Zhuangzi's wealth, and sent it to the capital as gold, flowers and silver. If he let him run rampant, he really didn't know where the king's law was. If this continues, wouldn't it be a matter of robbing anyone? It would be a matter of robbing him."

Those who were still in the Suzhou Guild Hall in the first lunar month were not poor civilians. When they heard Li Sancai's words, they were all in awe of their hearts. They thought about what would happen if they were put on their own.

"The saint was blinded by villains, only caring for gold, silver, money, and not caring for the country, and the saints and virtues. Shouldn't we, the saints, stand up and advise the saints and the emperor to look at the saints and listen to the saints and listen to the saints and face them in a straight manner!"
