The left minister of the Ministry of Justice went to Guanlong County for more than half a month, but no news came back.
A few days later, Zhao Jin finally received relevant news from Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, but it was not the news from Zuo Shilang, but from Seng Fan.
The left minister of the Ministry of Justice has disappeared.
"My lord, is the governor of Guanlong County so brave?" Takeda heard the news and touched his head, with an obvious look of shock on his face.
There was a cold look in Xing's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Jin's mouth, "You dare to do such things as secretly making salt bait, which shows that you are very courageous."
Chi Yi, who was next to him, also said coldly: "When Mr. Kong went to Guanlong County for inspection, they also directly controlled Mr. Kong. Now that His Majesty knows about this, everyone in Guanlong County must avoid any evidence being discovered by the officials who went there.
.”
"However, in this situation, I'm afraid we can only send officials again." Takeda pursed his lips and said.
Zhao Jin nodded, "It should be either the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, or someone from Yushitai. There are no more than these three."
The only thing is, I don’t know if the disappearance of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment is really just a loss of trace, or if he encountered an accident.
Someone was originally following the Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department, but the other party was assassinated and was separated from Zhao Jin's people when he escaped. Therefore, Zhao Jin is now unable to confirm the condition of the Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department.
The three of them were talking when Bai Wu knocked on the door and came in.
"My lord, this is the result of Guanlong County's investigation."
Zhao Jin's eyes paused slightly, and he immediately said: "Pass it over."
Taking the paper from Bai Wu's hand, the current situation of Guanlong County was clearly written on it.
All officials who had not participated in the private production of salt have been passively involved in this matter because the governor of Guanlong County used various methods, either deceiving or forcing them.
Zhao Jin paused for breath and had to admit that this county guard was really good at it.
With all officials involved, there is no need to worry about anyone inside leaking the matter.
Looking down, Zhao Jin read the entire report bit by bit. The situation in Guanlong County was getting more and more serious, and they were already destroying all the evidence they could think of.
Seng Fan and others snatched some, but it was still not enough to convict the governor of Guanlong.
These correspondences, even in the account books, are very vaguely recorded.
Based on this evidence, we can only conclude that the governor of Guanlong accepted bribes and embezzled some of the salt tax money, but the amount was relatively small. According to the law, he was just dismissed from his post.
At the end, Seng Fan finally mentioned that the only breakthrough point in Guanlong County is now.
Ming family.
The Ming family of Guanlong County was one of the great gentry in Guanlong County.
The financial resources and influence are among the best in Guanlong County.
"The Ming family ever rejected the proposal of the governor of Guanlong County?" Zhao Jin's fingertips fell on this sentence and he murmured in a low voice.
Bai Wu has also investigated this matter, because the Ming family has a very good reputation in Guanlong County, so he has heard of it.
"On the matter of privately making salt, the Ming family also cooperated with the governor of Guanlong County." Bai Wu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jin nodded, he knew this.
As early as in the previous investigation, they discovered that the people who cooperated most closely with the governor of Guanlong County were the Ming family.
However, Seng Fan now said that the Ming family had previously refused to pass the Long County governor. So, what made the Ming family change their minds later?
Zhao Jin intuitively felt that the hidden secret here was definitely not small.
The specific reason is still under investigation by Seng Fan.
Because of the disappearance of the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, he was worried that Zhao Jin was worried about the situation in Long County, so he first sent back all the information he had found.
"Bai Wu, tell Seng Fan to take the lead in investigating the Ming family." Zhao Jin frowned slightly and ordered in a deep voice: "Since the Ming family has ever thought of rejecting it, at least express it."
"Some people within the Ming family disagree with this matter."
If that person can be used as an internal agent, enough evidence can be obtained from him, so that the governor of Guanlong County will have no way to turn around.
"yes!"
Because the matter was urgent, Bai Wu left immediately after accepting the order.
Zhao Jin's long eyelashes drooped, thoughts racing in his heart.
Under what circumstances would the Ming family make the opposite decision?
Is it possible that the person who rejected the governor of Guanlong County is not the same person who now agrees to the private production of salt in the Ming Dynasty?
The entire Ming family has already fallen into this quagmire, if his guess is correct.
Well, it was during the time when the Ming family changed their mind that something happened to the person in charge of the Ming family.
In the past, the people in power of the Ming family did not agree with this matter, but now the people in power in the Ming family agree with it.
Star's eyes darkened. Now, all he could do was wait for Seng Fan to find out what was going on in the Ming family.
However, I don’t know what Zhao Qian’s plan is.
He should soon receive the news about the disappearance of the left minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Regardless of whether Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment is alive or dead, now that he has disappeared, he must report to Zhao Qian in time.
Otherwise, Zhao Qian is not in a good mood right now, and is waiting to find out the fault of the Long County Sheriff. If he makes any slight mistake, Zhao Qian will use it as an excuse.
Just as Zhao Jin expected, Zhao Qian had received news from the Minister of Justice Zuo.
Zhao Qian was discussing the matter of Guanlong County with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, when someone from outside handed over an urgent notice from the governor of Guanlong County.
"Crack!"
Baili made a quick hurray, but Zhao Qian was thrown directly to the ground.
The three prime ministers were slightly startled. What news was coming? Your Majesty is so angry.
"Lawlessness! In the eyes of these people, do they still think of me as the emperor!" Zhao Qian vigorously slapped the dragon case and shouted angrily!
The Prime Minister bent down and picked up the folder from the ground, his eyes fell on it, and he paused for a moment.
"Secretary Zuo is missing?" the prime minister asked in silence.
Because he was too shocked, he didn't hold back his voice.
The Minister of Justice was stunned for a moment, then immediately put his head over and took a closer look.
This is a report from the governor of Guanlong County. It says that when the Minister of Justice, Zuo Shilang, was investigating a case, he encountered robbers because he was wearing brocade clothes.
Zuo Shilang lost his trace during his escape.
The county guard even claimed that Shilang Zuo did not allow his people to accompany him at that time, so that now, he is not aware of Shilang Zuo's whereabouts.
Because the people around Zuo Shilang at that time also lost their traces.
"That's nonsense!" the Minister of Punishment shouted angrily.
How could such a coincidence happen? And no one came back. It was obvious that the people who secretly made salt in Guanlong County were so guilty that they killed and silenced them!
The prime minister's hand holding the fold was trembling slightly and he was angry.
"This is simply unreasonable!" The Prime Minister sternly scolded: "Your Majesty, these villains will never be let go!"
The Minister of Dali Temple was equally angry, and at the same time felt extremely scared.
Once the officials who go to Guanlong County to investigate the case investigate and find evidence, waiting for the governor of Guanlong County, there is only a dead end.
