In Wanshou Palace, the sandalwood in the copper furnace was burning, causing a faint sandalwood to float in the air in the hall.

A confusing smile flashed across Xu Jie's face, and then he said to Jiajing with a firm statement: "Lin Xuran, deputy censor of Zuodu, was ordered to patrol salt, but went to the place to be addicted to women and took a woman who was doing business as his concubine. His concubine's goods were robbed in Wusong River, so he suddenly changed his route to Songjiang Prefecture City and mobilized Songjiang Guards to clear the bandits in Wusong River. Originally, this was a great thing for the hundred prefectures in Songjiang, and my elder brother wrote a letter to praise him a few days ago! However, this practice was too impulsive. The censors and local officials in Nanzhili thought this was very inappropriate and wrote memorials to impeach him!"

In just a few short sentences, the meaning was clearly presented, and the spearhead was directed at the Zuo Deputy Censor Lin Qingran, who was the most popular in recent years.

Wu Shan sighed sadly, but he didn't expect that the guess just now came true. Xu Jie really wanted to attack his son-in-law. He was just in the court and knew that such things would come, and he could not avoid them at all.

Yang Bo and Yan Ne originally planned to leave, but they didn't want to make a fuss suddenly. Seeing Xu Jie seemed to be trying to attack Lin Junran, they were happy to watch here.

Xu Jie finished expressing his meaning, reached out and took out a few memorials from his sleeve, and presented them to Jiajing's hands.

Huang Jin turned his head and looked at the indifferent Jiajing, and immediately stepped forward to take Xu Jie's memorial.

After Xu Jie gave the memorial to Huang Jin, he continued to talk and said: "I am a person from Songjiang Prefecture. I should think that what Lin Junran did is beneficial to the people of Songjiang. However, what Chen Fengyi and others said in the Nanzhili Hushi Institute are not unreasonable, so I dare not write a vote rashly and ask the emperor for a sage!"

Xu Jie's words were reasonable and even impeccable.

However, everyone present understood that this seemed to be maintaining Lin Weiran, but to reveal these memorials clearly meant to attack Lin Weiran with the memorials of the local censors.

"Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!"

Huang Jin sent several memorials to Jiajing's case and labeled Xu Jie in his heart.

Jiajing originally had high hopes for Lin Qiran, but a few months have passed. Seeing that Lin Qiran was still not moving, his patience was also slowly consuming.

Now he heard that he actually used his right to "do things cheaply" and made a big move for the goods of a concubine, which made him feel unhappy.

He still has such a little bit of cleverness. Looking at the several memorials presented, he slowly opened them and read them. He also wanted to know what Lin Weiran had done in these days.

Wu Shan always defended his son-in-law in his heart, so he bowed to Jiajing and said, "Emperor, there are many local censors who exaggerate their words, please observe clearly!"

Yan Ne glanced at Wushan secretly and saw Wushan's love for protecting his calf.

As the saying goes: Some people in the court are easy to be an official, and this is true. Not only does it require the help of someone in the court to be promoted, but someone in the court needs to speak when encountering things. If Wu Shan was not here, Lin Qingran's fate would probably be similar to Hu Zongxian.

Jiajing was a very opinionated emperor and opened the memorial of Chen Fengyi, the director of the Nanzhili Li official department.

He found that Xu Jie had just said it lightly. Lin Weiran not only mobilized Songjiang Wei to vent his personal anger, but his recent actions in the local area were simply unforgivable.

Then, he opened several other memorials, but they were very different. In addition to exposing Lin Qiran's various inappropriate actions in the local area from different directions, the finger pointed at him and actually mobilized Songjiang Guard for his concubine.

If a king's rebellion is, it will undoubtedly be military power. There is room for compromise in everything. Once the military power is in chaos, his throne will be in danger, and even the dynasty of his Zhu family will be destroyed.

Jiajing was well versed in power and art. Even if he had a decision in his heart, he would not express his decision in a hasty way. He gently put the memorial on the case, looked up at the four important officials and said, "My dear friends, what do you think should be done?"

When Huang Jin heard this question, he couldn't help but look up at the four important officials. Since Xu Jie had already made a statement, the focus of his attention at this moment was on the other three people, especially Xu Jie's clique Yan Ne.

Yan Ne is from Changshu, and has always been close to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and Xu Jie.

He knew that Xu Jie chose to make public here, so he asked him to help from the side, and took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Maoqing had too much power in the past, so he made people angry and resentful in the local area! I think that this matter should be checked immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

"Your Majesty, the salt administration is related to the foundation of the country! Just based on an unreasonable guess, I investigate and deal with important officials like this. I think it is inappropriate!" Wu Shan glared at Yan Ne secretly and immediately stood up to defend.

If it were someone else or something, he might make concessions. It was just that Lin Qingran was involved. He knew that no matter whether it was a teacher or student or a father-in-law or son-in-law, he would protect Lin Qingran tightly.

When Jiajing heard Wu Shan’s words, his brows frowned slightly.

Although Wu Shan was the son-in-law who protected him, it was not completely unreasonable. Lin Qingran was burdened with the burden of rectifying the salt administration. If he easily withdrew people, the rectification of the salt administration would be wasted.

Xu Jie saw all this in his eyes, as if he could see through what Jiajing thought and stood there with a faint smile.

Jiajing was also unsure of his mind for a moment, swept over the four people in front of him, and finally turned his eyes to Yang Bo, the neutral faction, and said, "Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Wu Shan and Yan Ne turned their heads and looked at Yang Bo. Yang Bo's opinions had become crucial, and even directly determined Lin Junran's life and death.

Yang Bo was able to achieve peace in the border because he served as the Governor of Xuanda and the Governor of Jiliao, and was highly valued by Jiajing. Because he served in the border for many years, his words and deeds had become a soldier's style, which made him reveal a convincing military temperament.

He faced Jiajing's inquiring gaze and bowed his hands to answer with a decisive heart: "Reporting to the emperor, the matter of salt administration is important, but I think local stability is the foundation. Songjiang is one of the seven most important prefectures in the southeast. Whether Lin Xunran is for the people of Songjiang or because of his own personal grudges, I think Lin Xunran's move has surpassed and even caused the local turmoil. I agree with Yan Shangshu's opinion and immediately investigate Lin Xunran."

The sound was loud and echoed in the hall.

Yang Bo finally turned to Xu Dang and stabbed Lin Weiran hard.
