"Duke of Wei, our current situation is extremely bad. If you want to break it, you will break it. If the court really takes it deeper, this fire will probably burn you!" Li Yi looked open and honest when he saw Xu Pengju.

Due to the actions of his ancestor Li Jinglong, their Duke Cao was the most involved, and their descendants were repeatedly excluded. Even if the title of Linhuai Marquis was restored, the situation of their Linhuai Marquis Mansion was much worse, and Lu Mi would be

Deduct more.

Li Yi took over the Marquis of Linhuai from his brother Li Xing in the 14th year of Jiajing. He has always been cautious in his actions. Now seeing the smuggling case exposed, he is destined to alarm the emperor. He only has one thought in his mind: to save himself.

He did not expect Xu Pengju to sacrifice himself to take everything, so he hoped that Xu Pengju could take the initiative to throw Deng Jikun, the arrogant idiot, out of the way, so as to avoid this crisis.

"If we remain silent, the court has no clues at hand and we can't find out at all!" Xu Pengju shook his head gently and said with confidence.

"Duke of Wei, Lin Qingran can find Tianjin Wei and Chongming Island, so he must know our existence!" Li Yi suddenly felt anxious and immediately analyzed.

This is also the real reason why he was so worried. Since Lin Shiran was able to attack their smuggling network so accurately, he would naturally find out the mastermind behind them.

Xu Pengju faced Li Bo's analysis, looked embarrassed on his face, and silently picked up the cold tea.

"Duke of Wei, if you should break it, you will break it, and then you will be in danger!" Li Yi looked at him hesitating and immediately continued to persuade him seriously.

Even when Butler Liu stood at the door, he turned his head and looked at Xu Pengju.

Xu Pengju drank the cold tea in one go, and responded as if he had made a lot of determination: "You are right, and you should break it!" After a pause, he sighed and ordered: "You write it."

Let me sign a memorial and report Dingyuan Hou!”

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

When things came to this point, although he wanted to stay away from the incident, it was impossible for Duke Wei to allow him to be just a bystander. And in order to protect himself, he naturally had to do something.

Butler Liu sent Li Yi away, but when he came back, he said in confusion: "Master, didn't you say you wanted to give up Linhuai Marquis?"

In fact, there is no need for Li Yi to remind him that Xu Pengju is already planning to sacrifice his teammates. Since the account book has been lost, if he wants to escape from this matter, he must show the determination of a hero to break his arm.

In his initial conception, he wanted to sacrifice Li Yi, the Marquis of Linhuai. After all, the ancestors of Linhuai Marquis of Linhuai were famous for being rebellious, so Linhuai Marquis was more suitable for roles full of villains.

But he never expected that Li Yi, the Marquis of Linhuai, was so scheming that he had already come over to cooperate with the Marquis of Dingyuan, and even acted as a front pawn.

"Li Yi and his ancestor Li Jinglong are both villains, but villains have the benefits of villains. Let him jump out and bite Deng Jikun first. Then we will decide which side to stand on!" Xu Pengju said lightly like a fisherman, looking like a fisherman.

.

Whether it is Li Yi, the Marquis of Linhuai, Deng Jikun, the Marquis of Dingyuan, they are actually similar in his heart. Now, like Li Yi, he is only considering how to protect himself.

"Master, you are brilliant!" Butler Liu thought for a while, and immediately gave a thumbs up.

Xu Pengju faced the praise, but a bitter look appeared on his face. At this point, the special account book probably fell into Lin Qingran's hands, and he didn't know if he could get out of it.

As the news of the intercepting of 10,000 stones of private salt spread, the entire Nanzhili area was trapped in a whirlpool of public opinion.

It’s not that no one knows the existence of the smuggling network, but it just involves 10,000 stones of private salt. Moreover, Lin Weiran has already placed this smuggling network on the stage, which still shocked many people.

Among the Yan Yan imperial envoys over the years, there were many officials who wanted to do practical things. However, Lin Qingran had such courage and did this thing that benefited the country and the people, but Lin Qingran was the only one.

For a moment, both officials and the people praised Lin Qingran's actions and even looked at the world-famous Lin Qingtian with admiration.

It was noon that a fleet came from the south in a mighty way and directly entered the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture.

In the middle is a huge building ship, with a black and yellow dragon flag waving in the wind. This kind of flag can only be used by the imperial envoy, and the canal ships and merchant ships on the canal avoid it.

Many ship owners are well-informed people. When they saw the transport ships and warships, they guessed that this must be the fleet of the left deputy chief censor Lin Weiran who was heading south to patrol salt.

The fleet was escorted by Zhenhaiwei's warships, and in the middle were ten captured transport ships, making this fleet look huge, like a large caravan traversing the sea.

Lin Weiran was wearing a majestic bullfighting suit, standing in front of the guardrail of the building boat, bathing in the oncoming autumn wind, and enjoying the scenery on both sides of the straits, with no joy or sorrow on his face.

He left Shanghai County overnight that day and rushed directly to Zhenhaiwei. Because Su Song Governor Yang Shangying was transferred to the General of Zhejiang Zhi, he had less trouble and successfully took over Zhenhaiwei.

Zhenhaiwei Commander Tan Xian was the former subordinate of Lu Tong, the former general of Zhejiang Zhizhi. Facing Lin Junran's olive branch, he also accepted it happily and actively participated in the clearing of the den on Chongming Island.

It was with the cooperation of all parties that they not only successfully controlled the den on Songming Island, but also captured all the smuggling ships that arrived, and then seized 10,000 stones of private salt.

After waiting for two months, the meticulous layout of each step finally received the result he wanted.

"My husband, the wind on the bow of the boat is strong, it can't be blown for a long time. Be careful of the cold!" Hua Yingrong, who was full of emotion, walked over, took the cloak from the maid Lan'er, and gently gave it to him.

Put it on and speak softly.

Late August is approaching, and the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is getting stronger, and the autumn wind on the canal exudes a little coolness.

Lin Qingran cooperated with her to tie the straps of her cloak, and looked at the beautiful beauty in front of her, and said half-jokingly: "Your husband's body is not so unbearable! After the matter here, maybe the emperor will give me a minister of the Ministry of War.

Your husband wants to command tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"

"Even if you are the Minister of War, you are the Minister of War who stayed in the Ministry of War. You are afraid that you have this intention and you will not have this opportunity!" Hua Yingrong had some research on political affairs, and even said with a smile as if she was a flower.

Lin Qingran looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and did not say those bad things. She reached out and held her gently in her arms, feeling this rare peaceful day.
