Chapter three hundred and fortieth chapter salt cited
The inspection by the Ducha Division did not have much influence on the courtiers in Bianzhou City, at least on the surface everything was calm.
Zhao Jin still wandered around the palace, the Ministry of War and the prince's mansion every day.
No, it should be the Duke's Mansion now.
Zhao Qian personally presented the plaque for the gate of the mansion.
More than half a month later, Zhao Jin received a letter from Wei Liang of Yunzhou County.
Zhao Jin had already let Wei Liang know about the explosives when he left Yunzhou County.
"Governor Kong has left Yunzhou County and is currently in Guanlong County. Everything is fine."
Zhao Jin's eyes froze slightly when he saw the lower part of the letter.
Help?
"What's going on?" Zhao Jin looked at Qin Heng who had sent the letter and asked in a deep voice.
Qin Heng frowned, "Actually, I don't know the specific situation very well. The night before I came to Bianzhou, someone sent a letter from Guanlong County."
After saying this, Qin Heng took out a piece of crumpled paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin took it and unfolded it. He saw that the ink stains on it were somewhat smudged. It must have been accidentally stained by water.
"It rained that night. It must be that the other party was in a hurry and got wet by the rain accidentally." Qin Heng explained a few sentences.
Zhao Jin lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand, only saying a few words.
"The governor of Guanlong County... Yan Yin, I beg you, Lord, to save the official's family."
The two characters in front of "Shiohiki" are no longer clearly visible due to the smudge of the rain, but getting involved with "Shiohiki" has not been a simple matter since ancient times.
"When the man brought the things, he also brought a piece of salt."
Qin Heng handed an even more wrinkled piece of paper to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin is not unfamiliar with salt guides, because salt guides in each county need to be built by the county governor and then submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Although Yan Yin was already a little wrinkled, Zhao Jin still found something wrong with it.
Privately made salt?
Zhao Jin's pupils shrank slightly.
The benefits of privately making salt are huge. Although once discovered, it will be a crime of confiscating the property or even exterminating the nine clans. However, there are still some people who cannot resist the temptation and continue to do it one after another.
"This news must be kept secret until it is found out clearly, and no one can know about it."
The huge benefits and serious consequences of privately manufacturing salt will inevitably force the other party to do whatever it takes to get rid of all the insiders in order to avoid being discovered.
Zhao Jin spoke very quickly, "Qin Heng, you go back immediately. You must erase any connection between Kong Wen and Yunzhou County."
Guanlong County and Yunzhou County are close to each other, making it easy for the other party to attack them.
"My lord, what about Yan Yan..." Qin Heng said hesitantly.
Kong Wen had no friendship with Zhao Jin, but he sent the letter for help to Yunzhou County, probably because he could not send the letter too far away.
Only Yunzhou County, which he had just inspected, could reluctantly trust him.
Then he handed the letter of distress to Yunzhou County, or in other words, to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin lowered his eyelids and spread the salt flat on the table, "Just leave this matter to me. Please pay careful attention to the news coming out of Guanlong County."
"For the rest, please don't interfere for now. If you need help, our guild will send you a message."
"yes!"
Qin Heng raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jin, "My lord, the messenger is on his way over."
"He also came from Yunzhou County?"
Qin Heng said "hmm", "My subordinates are thinking that instead of letting him stay in Yunzhou County, it is better to bring him to Bianzhou together."
"Just because he was injured, we let him recover first. I received the news the day before yesterday and he is already on his way here."
"Okay, I get it."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Jin called to Qin Heng who was about to turn around and leave, "Let Yunzhou County send more people over."
Zhao Jin rubbed his brows, feeling quite helpless. The deeper he took root in Bianzhou, the more he felt that there were not enough manpower.
Although there are many nursing homes in the Duke's Mansion, they cannot be completely trusted after all. Many things cannot be known to them. It is neither convenient nor allowed to help them with things.
Qin Heng was slightly stunned, "Then, send more young men who were trained in the past?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jin nodded.
Qin Heng did not dare to delay, so he set off back to Yunzhou County that day.
Zhao Jin then summoned Takeda, Chi Yi and Bai Wujun.
"Master Guo." Takeda asked with a smile, "Master, what do you have to say?"
"Something happened in Guanlong County." As soon as the three of them arrived, Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
Guanlong County? The three of them looked a little stunned. Guanlong County was no match for them.
But since Zhao Jin has spoken out, the matter involving Long County must be either too serious or related to them.
Zhao Jin took a deep breath and said, "Kong Wen sent a letter to ask for help, saying that the governor of Guanlong County secretly made salt."
The three people's eyes widened suddenly, and Bai Wu couldn't hide the look of shock on his face.
Chi Yi frowned and asked, "Master Guo, is this letter asking for help true?"
The sudden request for help really makes people suspicious.
If someone deliberately set up this situation to lure Zhao Jin into the situation, once Zhao Jin intervenes in this matter, he will probably get a bad taste.
"The Duke of Guo has no relationship with Mr. Kong. Why would Master Kong hand the letter of distress to the Duke of Guo?"
"So this matter needs to be investigated first."
Zhao Jin tapped the salt on the table with his fingertips, "Even if it is really a bureau, Kong Wen should be innocent."
Zhao Jin and Kong Wen didn't have many interactions, but they were not small either.
After all, the Ducha Si supervises the local area as well as the court.
Kong Wen was the deputy commander of the Ducha Division, while Zhao Jin was the minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War intended to gradually hand over the affairs of the Ministry of War to Zhao Jin.
Therefore, most of the contacts between the Ministry of War and the Ducha Division were between two people.
Kong Wen is not that cunning person, but he is too upright and stubborn, and he may not look back even if he hits the wall.
Even if someone really uses this to lure him into the game, Kong Wen should be just a pawn in it.
"You three, please investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Zhao Jin's eyes were sharp and his starry eyes were deep, "Find out what the situation is in Guanlong County now and what is the situation of Kong Wen."
"Also," Zhao Jin touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, "How is the situation of Yanyin in Guanlong County, and how is the situation of Kong Wen's family?"
"If Kong Wen's family is really in danger, we can't just ignore it."
Kong Wen was a loyal and upright man. It would be a pity if he ended up with his whole family ruined just to expose the secret manufacture of salt.
Zhao Jin didn't mind taking action if he could lend a helping hand and save a few lives.
Takeda and others understand the urgency of the matter, but...
"Mr. Guo Gong, I'm afraid there are not enough manpower just based on the people in Guo Gong's mansion now." Takeda's voice was a bit awkward.
This matter cannot be publicized, and the more tightly it is covered, the better. Only trustworthy people can investigate the matter.
The only people who can be trusted in the Duke of Qiansheng's palace are the three Takedas.
With the three of them alone, there is no big problem in detecting the situation in Bianzhou City. However, it is too difficult or even impossible to detect the situation in Guanlong County in a short time.
Only then did Zhao Jin remember that there were only three people available in the Duke's mansion.
"You contact Seng Fan. Since the intelligence station has been initially established, it's time to test it out."
Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
