Chapter 483 Fighting from behind, Fang wakes up
"Oh, I didn't dig deeper in Hu Guang in Yangzhou Prefecture last time, but the big salt merchants escaped by chance. Do you really want to touch them this time? Those men are all outlaws!"
When Huang Zhong heard about this, he was a little worried about the counterattack of the salt merchants.
Fang Xing said: "No matter who is behind Hu Huang, I have to respond to the provocations of literati, otherwise those people would think that someone in our house is a vegetarian!"
Last time, Fang Xing just watched Hu Guang deal with the suspects in the trafficking case. When he noticed that Hu Guang had missed the big salt merchants, he did not say anything and waited until now to break out.
Huang Zhong knew these things throughout the whole process, so at this moment, his waking up to the other party's tolerance and admiration for the timing.
Those big salt merchants were the largest private salt distributors in the south. Last time they just investigated the case of abductees, so Fang Xing did not alert the enemy and left it to be dealt with in the future.
"The time is ripe now. Regardless of whether Hu Huang took the goods from them or not, we can follow the clues and directly catch those big salt merchants!"
Fang woke up and moved his body and ordered: "When the grandson takes Hu Huang, you write a report on Yangzhou private salt and let Fang Wu and the others send it to Ye Fan's house."
Ye Fan has been very famous recently because he not only impeached Fang Xing, but also impeached Hu Guang.
The reason for his impeachment of Hu Guang was: Hu Guang looked angry when he saw the grandson, and he was domineering! He would be in danger if he didn't punish him!
"This is just a naughty girl, as for Wang Liang..."
When the Censor Wang Liang was in Taizhou Prefecture, he felt a little sympathetic with Fang Xing, so Fang Xing wondered if he would take this opportunity to show his face.
Huang Zhong pondered: "Brother, why not... let Wang Liang notify him first, and then let Ye Fan disrupt his opponent's response..."
“This is a good idea.”
Fang Xing praised him and said, "Catch the time and 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 no one cared about it.
As the crown prince, it is really not a problem for Zhu Zhanji to engage in a businessman.
But when the morning court was in the next morning, Zhu Di was furious with Hu Huang's confession, and the ministers below were dumbfounded.
"Are you blind when you wait?"
Zhu Di waved his confession and scolded: "The capital is a place where the best is, there is actually a private salt dealer hidden. This is a dereliction of duty!"
"Your Majesty, the Censor Wang Liang has made a memorial."
"Take it."
Zhu Di took the memorial without losing his anger, read it quickly, and sneered: "It's great! It's great! The canal has not yet been opened, but the private salt entered Jinling City. It's really bold!"
"Your Majesty, the Censor Ye Fan asks for a visit."
Zhu Di frowned. Ye Fan was so entangled that he had caught a little bit of a problem. He rushed in like a bullet-blocking chapter. Even Zhu Di didn't want to see him.
"Let him in."
Ye Fan stepped in, saluted, stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I learned today that someone sells private salt in Yangzhou Prefecture."
As he said that, he took out the memorial and presented it.
After Zhu Di saw it, his anger dissipated a lot, but he just said coldly: "I understand."
Yangzhou Prefecture?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Guang and Yang Shiqi.
These two men have only served as imperial envoys in Yangzhou Prefecture and dealt with many officials and merchants.
But how long has it been? Another private salt case broke out in Yangzhou Prefecture.
Tsk!
Thinking of Hu Huang as well as a private salt dealer, the ministers couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Is this the crown prince hitting them?
Hu Guang and Zhu Zhanji have been a little bit wrong recently, and even Zhu Di knows this.
It’s just that this wrong way is related to Fang Xing’s Fang’s learning, and it is a dispute over Taoism, so it cannot be promoted and can only be mixed in private.
Hu Guang's face was calm and he left the work and said, "Your Majesty, the last time I went to Yangzhou Prefecture, I just handled the case of abductor. Now that such a major case has occurred, I would like to go again."
Salt monopoly is the national policy of all dynasties and one of the important sources of taxation.
So it is not an exaggeration to Hu Guang say it is a major case.
But he dispelled his responsibilities in a few words, which made people have a further understanding of his calmness.
Zhu Di's eyes were dim and he said in a deep voice: "The salt merchants are illegal and have many desperate people. Let Xing and Bo handle this matter."
Let Fang wake up?
This decision surprised Hu Guang.
Zhu Di suppressed Fang Xing and wanted to leave him to the prince and grandson for use. Many people have figured out this idea.
But he actually asked him to do such hatred?
The salt merchants are luxurious and bribing officials is also very good at bribing them. So whoever handles this case will most likely attract many secret enemies.
"It's a mediocre person if you don't attract hatred!"
Facing Zhu Zhanji, Fang Xing laughed and said, "If I were a good person, those civil servants would probably say that they were ambitious, so it would be better to kill him, which would be considered an explanation for His Majesty's care."
Zhu Zhanji said with some concern: "Brother Dehua, you have to be careful of assassins when you go to Yangzhou Prefecture. Those salt merchants are not good at plagiarism!"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Unless they use a strong bow, they will not have the chance to get close."
Huang Zhong couldn't help asking, "Brother, since this matter has been revealed, will anyone inform the salt merchants?"
Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji shook their heads together, and finally Zhu Zhanji said: "There are important officials present today. If anyone dares to inform them, they will be exorcising themselves from the emperor's grandfather. The whole family will be punished with storming."
Fang Xing added: "Even if someone has a relationship with those salt merchants, at most they will go home and destroy the evidence. Moreover, those people are all in high positions and powerful, and the salt merchants cannot get close to them, let alone what handle they get!"
Speaking of the handle, Fang Xing remembered Yang Shiqi. Fang Xing just pointed out a vague sentence last time, but today it seems that this person didn't care at all.
It's fine if you don't care!
I'll be welcome after that!
Fang Xing called Jie Jin and others to let them watch the academy, and then he packed up his things and prepared to set off.
While packing his clothes for him, Xiaobai said reluctantly: "Young Master, why does Your Majesty always use you?"
Although Zhang Shuhui was reluctant to leave, she laughed when she heard this.
"My husband is pretty good. Some ministers were sent out to do business and have not returned home for a year or two."
Fang Xing saw his wife and concubines busy, and his soft words made people intoxicated, and he couldn't help but feel that the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes.
After packing up his things, Fang Xing said goodbye to his wives and concubines, and then went directly to Jubaoshan Military Camp.
"Brother, is the entire army going to set off this time?"
Lin Qun'an had already received the notice, so more than 2,000 people in the camp were ready to stop working.
Fang Xing looked at the energetic soldiers and said in a deep voice: "The destination of this trip is Yangzhou Prefecture, and the target is three large salt merchants. The salt merchants have many desperate people under their command, so in order to eliminate all evil, we should be cautious about fighting against rabbits..."
