Yi Kuang had no way to resist Cen Chunxuan's aggressive aura, with only blue veins rushing, his throat was so anxious that it was smoking, his old face turned red, as if he was about to spit out fire, and he couldn't reply a word for a while. He had already cursed Cen's surname thousands of times, and his court ward was even more wet.

Where did Cen Chunxuan come from?

The key clue is also direct supervision of Duan Fang. As a peripheral ally of Yuan Shikai's family and Qing-na Alliance, although Duan Fang did not fully understand the cause and effect of the Yang Cuixi case, he had heard some news and the news. After talking with Cen Chun that day, the topic was involuntarily linked to it, and Duan Fang suddenly remembered the news he learned the previous time.

According to the exclusive management measures of the Salt Administration, the Zhili Salt Administration is governed by Changlu Salt Transportation Commission as usual. Since salt is an extremely important monopoly material and the government is extremely strict, if salt merchants of all sizes want to make a fortune, they must open up the joints of salt transportation commissions. Because salt merchants have strong strength and strong economic strength and the profits of salt trading are objective, the amount they contribute is extremely large, and Changlu Salt Transportation Commission has thus become the hottest fat in Zhili.

Since the Salt Transportation Envoy was directly affiliated with the governor of Zhili, and whether to use it or not, whoever does not use it depends on the direct supervision, the salt transport envoy had to go with them as usual to obtain protection, otherwise the salt transport envoy would lose his official position at the least, and the case would be filed for investigation. When Yuan Shikai and Yang Shiqi were both serving as direct supervision, they would accept bribes from the salt transport envoy with a smile to open a door for their various "behaviors". The salt transport envoy was also appointed by their close confidants. During Yuan Shikai's rule, the Changlu Salt Transportation Envoy was his wife's uncle Zhang Zhenfang. After Yang Shiqi succeeded him, because of Yuan's power and the requirements put forward by Yuan Shikai when he was recommended, Zhang Zhenfang still firmly took up the position of the Salt Transportation Envoy.

After Duan Fang succeeded as direct governor, Zhang Zhenfang felt that his status was becoming increasingly unstable. Due to the rich profits in recent years, he had already been reluctant to leave this position, so he was eager to go through the Duan Fang's channel. Many people hinted that if he wanted to keep this position, he had to make a lot of money. Therefore, he had made a lot of money in public relations. In addition to preparing a lot of money on the one hand, he also prepared a beautiful woman who relieved Duan Fang's worries - Yang Cuixi. When introducing him, he said proudly: "This was originally Duan Xiangyan was preparing to dedicate it to Zhenbeizi. Later, the news was too tight, and Zhenbeizi didn't dare to take it. Beiye made the salt merchant have a good birth for two years, and he became more and more beautiful. Such a natural beauty, Beiye did not dare to expect it. He came to pay filial piety to the Governor."

Duan Fang was not very interested in women, and at that time he was worried about the dispute between Yongping Minren and Jiangsu. He didn't care about Zhang Zhenfang's flattery. But he remembered the story between Yang Cuixi and Zhen Beizi. When Cen Chunxuan asked, he told them all like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and prepared sufficient ammunition for "Official Tu".

I heard Cen Chunxuan talk about introducing clues to the case. All the civil and military officials in the court kept silent because the hand-tuning bag was too clumsy. Anyone with a thoughtful person could find flaws after careful investigation. Cixi just wanted to ensure Yi Kuang passed the test, and then Jiao Zhen had already resigned as a "apologize", so the so-called investigation was just a gesture and did not intend to take real action. The two imperial envoys who uphold the will hurriedly went on to "investigate" and neither went deep nor comprehensive, and they were just a quick look. Of course, the result was so confused.

Just when Yi Kuang was almost desperate, Xu Shichang stood up and said "fair words": "Even if this case is true, Zhen Beizi has resigned to thank the world, and in fact he has to be punished. The emperor just said that it is not appropriate to often turn over old accounts, and the ministers think that there is no need to turn over these old accounts."

"What Xu Zhongtang said is very true." When he heard Xu Shichang say this, the remaining Qing team suddenly jumped out and expressed their agreement one after another. Lin Guangyu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with a faint smile on his face, but he was thinking about how this scene ended.

"Emperor." Cen Chun spoke, "Since Xu Zhongtang said that, I feel that it is fair. But there are new situations and we must pay attention to it. Although Zhen Beizi has taken responsibility, Duan Zhigui uses his sex to charm the emperor and seeks illegality. He cannot tolerate it and must also be verified."

He swung his finger and pointed the tip of his spear suddenly at Duan Zhigui. He didn't know if Duan Zhigui's eyelids were twitching at this time.

Minister of National Defense Tie Liang expressed his statement: "Duan Zhigui is currently in a military position. According to the principles of military law, should he be suspended first and then investigated?"

"It doesn't have to." Lin Guangyu turned his head to Rongqing, "You will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will

Rong Qing is a famous upright minister. Cen Chunxuan sometimes has to slip in front of the superiors, but he goes all the way and only believes in the truth. The other two, whether Cheng Biguang or Jiang Fangzhen, are both important military personnel and are not from the Beiyang system, and have no direct connection with Duan Zhigui, so they are extremely capable.

"I obey the order." Tieliang and Rong Qing answered in unison.

"Duan Fang, the Ministry of Finance also sent a specialist to investigate the Natong case, just like investigating and handling the Natong case, check whether Duan Zhigui's military has had economic problems for many years, and report it to me."

"Slaves obey the order."

"Sanchao..." Wang Shang dragged his voice long. The tung, which had become soft and mud, was surrounded by the imperial guards and carried it onto the carriage and headed straight for the Summer Palace. Duan Fang then confidently sat on another carriage and followed him.

...

On the night after the court was dispersed, Yi Kuang was worried and did not care about his taboos. He disguised himself as Zai Zhen and hired an ordinary carriage to jump straight into Xu Shichang's mansion, urging him all the way, "Hurry!"

"Uncle Xu." After entering the door, Zai Zhen knelt on the ground with a thud when he saw Xu Shichang's face, "Dongdongdongdongdong" kowtow, "You must save us."

"Zhen Beizi, please get up quickly, please get up!" Xu Shichang was at a loss and hurriedly helped Zai Zhen up, "Why is this trouble?"

"Uncle Xu, listen to me, Ama, saying that Cen Chunxuan will hold on to my old things again when he goes to court today?"

"Oh..." Yi Kuang sighed, and tears flowed. "Brother Ju Ren, we are all in one's energy..."

Why did the prince say this?" Xu Shichang welcomed the two of them into the study while driving, "No matter who comes, everyone says I am not here. You can't tell him that the prince and Beizi are in my mansion."

—

"When you go to court in the morning, if it weren't for your fair words, we father and son might have gone to the Summer Palace today." Yikuang cried with tears and snot. "I really didn't expect that this matter would become like this..."

Xu Shichang smiled bitterly: "Prince, I was there when the Northeast opened a province. We are grasshoppers on the same line. Who can run away? Helping you is helping me. How dare you say thank you?"

"Otherwise, the emperor trusts you very much, and Cen Chunxuan and you are polite. You must be fine, we..."

Xu Shichang stopped Yi Kuangdu and complained: "Have you heard the prince a few days ago?"

When Xu Shichang talked about this, Yikuang and his son turned red. After a long time, Yikuang said with a shy face: "I came once a few days ago and said that someone wanted to investigate his responsibility in the Zhang Xun case. I thought that Cen Chunxuan had taken care of this matter and did not interfere. I only said that the person was not there, and asked Zaizhen to say some comforting words to deal with him. Later, I seemed to be angrily swept away."

"Ah... Prince," Xu Shichang stamped his feet repeatedly. "How could you pass on the matter of burning eyebrows so easily?"

"It's also my fault that I don't know what I know. I'm thinking about not having a feast with Cen Chunxuan, the grievance, and I'm full of thoughts of avoiding it if I can. Besides, Zhang Xun's appointment was mainly due to Xiao De Zhang. Duan Fang didn't have much responsibility in this matter, so I thought it wouldn't be too late to ask the emperor to plead with him after the case was reported... I didn't expect this guy to bite him back."

"Your Majesty, you did something wrong. Wuqiao was not harmonious with Cen Yunjie. Shanxi was once incompatible with water and fire. How could he not cause trouble if he pushed him to the other party? People were worried that they had no breakthrough..." Xu Shichang looked regretful, "I just don't know this. If I knew, I would have to recover the Dragon Boat Festival Bridge in the middle of the night."

Yikuang regretted his words and stomped his feet and sighed.

"Uncle Xu, I just can't understand why Duan Fang wanted to bite the tung? Isn't their personal relationship still okay?"

"Zhen Beizi, it's true that personal relationships are good, but no matter how good personal relationships are, they can't stand or money! Dragon Boat Festival Bridge is eager to protect itself, and that's something that can be done. Not to mention Cen Chunxuan instructing him to bite Qinxuan, even if you bite you and me, it might be easy."

"What should I do now? Qinxuan is still in the Summer Palace!"

"A person doesn't have to bite him back after being bitten by a dog." Xu Shichang comforted the two, "Let's think of other ways."

"What's the trick for Uncle Xu?"

"Prince, if this case is not handled well, Qin Xuanpan will bite it out, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xu Shichang didn't say any tricks, and it took him a long time to squeeze out this sentence, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

"I'm afraid of him the most." On his face - Na Tong had a lot of evidence from him. If he also bite like Duan Fang, there might be a big problem.

"When I went to court today, everyone pushed me. Tong and Duan Zhigui may not be able to save it. The prince probably has to have the determination to cut off his arm." Xu Shichang analyzed and said, "From my opinion, it is best to let him not speak."

Xu Shichang's words were strange, what does it mean, "It's better not to let him speak?" Tong has gone to the Summer Palace, so how can he control it? Zai Zhen was smart and understood Xu Shichang's intentions at once. He immediately made a beheading gesture with his hand and asked, "Are we going to... like this?"

"A small person is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic man is not a husband. Now the situation is in crisis, so I don't have to think about it again and again." Xu Shichang said this in a vague manner, not agreeing or objecting.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"First, after overthrowing the Tong, Duan Fang's heart was relieved, and the capital of the transaction between him and Cen Yunjie was used up. The prince might as well talk to him again and apologize calmly. Wuqiao is not a person who is ignorant of praise. Maybe this matter is just forgot. Friends who have been for so many years can be cut off. Second, when Liang Shi's case, the prince still needs to focus on comforting him. He has made this inferior plan to protect himself. The prince has promoted him for many years, and his kindness is still there, so he cannot suddenly lose the hearts of the people."

Zai Zhen interrupted: "Uncle Xu, how can this guy just let it go?"

"Of course it can't be so cheap. In terms of official system reform, everyone originally had a motion, meaning that the Ministry of Posts and Communications is in charge of the four major policies of the Circle, Email, and Road, and the Bank of Communications is the wings. It has too much power. It is recommended to split it into two parts: the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Transport, each in charge of one. The emperor also had this idea. Qinxuan strongly opposed it at the time and even quarreled with Rong Qing and others. Today they took the blame, and may not have no such grudge. Therefore, the prince had to support this plan and reach an understanding with Dai Hongci, Rong Qing and others. The last point is that even if Liang Shi could serve as the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, he could only serve as the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications or the Minister of Transportation, which invisibly weakened the scope of his ability to intervene."

"Excellent, great. I knew that Brother Ju Ren must have a way. This hand is very good at playing with it in the open and secret."

"Third, the anger that Cen Yunjie should be released is still coming out. Duan Zhigui will definitely not be able to control it, so Qin Xuan can only sacrifice..."

"But he has been in love with me for so many years..." Yikuang's eyes were wobbly and he was almost crying.

Xu Shichang winked at Zai Zhen, who understood and persuaded him: "Ama, we are now crossing the river with a clay Buddha - it's hard to protect ourselves, so it's important to save ourselves first. Besides, if we are completely unlucky, then uncle can't escape either, it won't be better, it will only be worse. Since it's miserable, we simply fulfilled him. As long as we keep Ama, then uncle and his family can be safe and sound."

"Zhen Beizi's words are reasonable. If even Qinxuan can't be defeated, Cen Yunjie will definitely hold on and let go. The prince may be even more passive. He will still have to take out the car to protect the coach and the hero will be determined to cut off his arm." Xu Shichang tried his best to persuade him.
