In the evening of the next day, a carriage drove out from the Duke's Mansion and headed for the palace.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Zhao Jin and Kong Wen stepped out of the carriage.
The two of them walked all the way towards the imperial study, and everyone who recognized Kong Wen on the way was surprised.
Zhao Jin and Kong Wen had never had any contact, so why were they traveling together now? Moreover, wasn't Kong Wen on patrol in the local area? Why did he return to the palace?
When Zhao Qian heard the announcement outside, he was also surprised and said, "Let them come in."
"Your Majesty, sir." The voices of Zhao Jin and Kong Wen overlapped.
"Get up," Zhao Qian said with some confusion: "Kong Wen, why are you back?"
Kong Wen knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Zhao Qian vaguely felt a bad premonition, "Say."
"I was in Guanlong County and discovered that the governor of Guanlong County was secretly making salt."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs immediately lowered their heads and even breathed softly.
Zhao Qian immediately jumped on the case, "Kong Wen, is there any evidence for what you said?"
The illegal production of salt is a serious case, ranging from confiscation of the family to annihilation of the entire family.
Kong Wen took out the wrinkled Yan Yin from his arms and presented it to Zhao Qian.
"Your Majesty, I discovered this, the salt of Guanlong County."
"After the governor of Guanlong County found out that I knew about this, he immediately took me under control and threatened me with my family members."
As Kong Wen finished speaking, Zhao Qian's face became more and more ugly. He took the salt guide and looked through it carefully.
Zhao Jin also cupped his hands towards Zhao Qian and said, "I was on night shift a few days ago. When I came back, I passed by the Confucius Mansion and saw someone in black climbing over the wall and entering, so I went to take a look."
"I happened to encounter someone who wanted to kill Mrs. Kong and her two children."
"After rescuing the man, Mrs. Kong kept asking me to rescue Mr. Kong. I felt that something was wrong and wanted to have someone investigate, and then I rescued Mr. Kong who escaped."
Zhao Qian looked at the salt yin in his hand with dark eyes, "What's wrong with this salt yin?"
These matters are all handled by the Ministry of Revenue, and Zhao Qian really didn't find any problems with Yanyin.
"It's a seal." Zhao Jin said solemnly: "The seal on the salt guide is missing a small opening."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian's eyes fell on the seal, and after searching carefully, he finally found where the small opening that Zhao Jin said was missing was.
Zhao Qian slapped Yan Yin on the table and was furious, "This is unreasonable! If you dare to make salt Yin privately today, wouldn't you dare to directly rebel tomorrow?"
Looking at the angry Zhao Qian, Zhao Jin said nothing.
At this time, they only need to wait for Zhao Qian to make a decision, and then take advantage of the loopholes while the people in Guanlong County are in a hurry.
After Zhao Qianhao reprimanded him, he said to Kong Wen: "Kong Wen, in the court hall tomorrow, you directly tell the matter in public. I want them to see that this is the prosperous age they praise every day!"
"yes."
Zhao Jin and Kong Wen did not stay any longer and resigned.
Zhao Qian sat in front of the dragon case, the anger in his chest uncontrollable.
"Come here!" Zhao Qian said in a deep voice: "Let me find out everything about this matter!"
"yes."
The next day, in the court hall.
When the courtiers saw Kong Wen, they could not conceal their surprise.
Last night, when Kong Wen entered the palace and Zhao Qian was furious, everyone had heard some rumors, but they didn't know the reason.
The seventh prince glanced at Kong Wen and Zhao Jin vaguely, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing.
Zhao Jin seemed to realize something. He raised his head and looked over, only to see the seventh prince turning his head quickly.
However, Zhao Jin caught the hint of malice just now.
Seventh prince?
Zhao Jin laughed in his heart, he was really not asking for trouble.
The court meeting officially began, and Zhao Qian sat on the dragon chair with a dark face.
Without waiting for the courtiers to report various matters to the court, Zhao Qianhan said: "Kong Wen, please tell me about the situation in Guanlong County."
The prince glanced at Kong Wen calmly, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Jin.
The person who repeatedly ruined his good deeds was Zhao Jin.
Kong Wen walked quickly to the center of the hall and repeated what he said in the imperial study that day, his words were passionate and sonorous.
The whole court was in an uproar!
No wonder His Majesty was so angry yesterday!
"Your Majesty!" The first person to stand up was the Prime Minister. He said sternly with a stern face: "This matter must be punished severely! There are two ways to make salt illicitly. If you don't punish it severely, countless people will follow suit."
"At that time, if there are privately made salts everywhere, the salt market will be in chaos, and the country will be in chaos!"
Not only the prime minister, but also officials one after another stood up and demanded that Zhao Qian severely punish those who secretly made salt.
The prince frowned and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "Father, I think that if you don't punish me severely, it won't be enough to set a warning for everyone!"
The Seventh Prince in the crowd also quickly stood up and said: "My second opinion!"
However, after saying these words, the Seventh Prince inevitably felt a little guilty.
Hearing the seventh prince's voice, Zhao Jin and Kong Wen looked up at him in surprise.
Zhao Jin sneered in his heart, but he did not expect that the seventh prince would have the courage to say such a thing. However, now the whole court is asking Zhao Qian to severely punish the mastermind behind the scenes. If the seventh prince does not stand up, it will be too conspicuous and attract attention.
but……
Zhao Jin looked at the prince without any trace.
The seventh prince stood up right behind the prince and glanced at the prince. Is it just a coincidence?
Zhao Qian said in a deep voice: "Where is the Minister of Punishment!"
When the two ministers of the Ministry of Justice heard this, they took two steps forward, cupped their hands and said, "I'm here!"
"Secretary Zuo will go to Guanlong County immediately tomorrow! Find out about this matter! I allow you to kill him first and report later!"
Zuo Shilang immediately accepted the order, "My lord, I obey the order!"
The case of privately manufacturing salt was spread from the court to the people that day, and the streets and alleys were talking about it.
Since the seventh prince knew that the person who rescued Kong Wen was Zhao Jin, he resented Zhao Jin for meddling in other people's affairs and couldn't help but feel flustered.
Since Zhao Jin came to Bianzhou, he has solved more than one case.
"Brother Royal."
As soon as the court came, the seventh prince couldn't bear it anymore. He walked quickly to Zhao Xingyu and lowered his voice. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xingyu scolded him in a low voice: "What, you want everyone to know?"
Zhao Xingyu couldn't help but cursed idiot in his heart.
Is he afraid that others won't know about their relationship?
Kong Wen frowned from behind, "My lord, do you think the relationship between the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince is so good?"
Zhao Jin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
He had never seen Zhao Xingyu and Zhao Xingzhen get close before, and just now...
Recalling the scene just now and the man in black, Zhao Jin had to suspect that this matter was related to Zhao Xingyu.
"Master Kong, be careful of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Kong Wen opened his eyes wide, "Your Highness the Crown Prince? The Duke is suspicious..."
Although he was surprised, Kong Wen did not lose his sense of control and kept his voice extremely low.
"Yes." Zhao Jin did not deny it, "I believe that this relationship is definitely not small."
Otherwise, there is no need to send dead soldiers to kill Mrs. Kong and others.
