Chapter 311
Chen Yinquan was very angry. This time Zhang Hao arrested people, but he did not arrest people randomly. He arrested officials who had contact with Shanxi salt merchants. He almost caught them all in one go. However, Zhang Hao did not catch them all, and there were too many. Zhang Hao did not want to alert the officials who collected the money from the salt merchants.
"What did you say? They were all arrested? Zhang Hao arrested all those who supported the salt merchants?" Yan Shifan stood up in shock when he heard this, stared at Chen Yinquan and asked.
"This is what you did. I said everything. Don't kill anyone. Chen Chongqi will not say anything. Even if he kills his whole family, he will not say anything. He knows that unless Zhang Hao negotiates with him and leaves his family behind.
Otherwise, he would not have spit out a word. In addition, even if Chen Chongqi said it, our people might not be arrested. Zhang Hao also needs to consider the impact on the court. Now, you not only killed Chen Chongqi, but also killed the Jinyiwei. Zhang Hao would let this matter go. If he let it go, how can Zhang Hao lead the Jinyiwei in the future?" Chen Yinquan shouted very angrily.
"You, me!" Yan Shifan stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment. The news was a bit too shocking.
"If you do this, if the people outside know that you did it, those officials will probably kill you. Why did you provoke that Manzi Zhang? He is a reckless man, will he consider the problem according to your wishes?" Chen Yinquan said angrily.
Yan Shifan sat down and carefully considered his plan. No problem. He killed those people and knew that Zhang Hao would not be punished, but why did Zhang Hao take revenge like this? It doesn't make sense. Normally, Zhang Hao would investigate who the murderer behind the scenes, and would delay the time to go to Shanxi.
The salt merchants in Shanxi were able to launch a counterattack. In this way, the salt merchants formed oppression of the court, forcing Zhang Hao to give up the rectification of salt and iron tea. There was no problem with this. Why did Zhang Hao suddenly start to arrest people in large quantities? This is completely illogical.
"I still can't figure it out. Zhang Hao didn't go to investigate the cause of death, but instead arrested people?" Yan Shifan stared at Chen Yinquan and said.
"He is a barbarian!" Chen Yinquan shouted angrily.
"I know he is a barbarian, but the rest of the Jinyiwei may also be Zhang Hao to investigate, right? The emperor will also ask Zhang Hao to investigate, right? He, Zhang Hao, does not listen to the other people's words, doesn't he even listen to the emperor's words?" Yan Shifan looked at Chen Yinquan and asked back. Chen Yinquan also sat down and carefully considered Yan Shifan's words.
"My plan is not wrong, but something must have happened. Everything is in our plan. Now it seems that something must have happened in the middle!" Yan Shifan sat there, touching his beard and said, but he had calculated everything, but he didn't. Zhang Hao dared to arrest people like this on the first day.
"I don't know why Zhang Hao arrested people like this!" Chen Yinquan said helplessly.
"You have to find out clearly. If all those officials are arrested, they still need to be rescued!" Yan Shifan looked at Chen Yinquan and said, "Chen Yinquan is the left-handed Censor and has great power. He can write a letter to Jiajing and ask the Jinyiwei to release people.
"Rescue? All those people were searched and their families were also controlled. How can they rescue them? Zhang Hao's search for the house this time, how can he find no evidence?" Chen Yinquan looked at Yan Shifan and asked back. Yan Shifan was stunned when he heard this. Did he move so quickly? He didn't even give him time to rescue himself?
"What should we do now?" Chen Yinquan stared at Yan Shifan and asked.
"You ask me to think about it. In addition, when my father comes back, I will ask what happened and actually asked Zhang Hao to arrest people like this!" Yan Shifan waved his hand, feeling a little tired. He has planned so well, how could such a thing happen?
"Think about it slowly. At that time, the salt merchants in Shanxi have no support from the officials. Zhang Hao can do it casually. No one can save them. Maybe we will be confessed." Chen Yinquan stood up angrily. Chen Chongqi was his own tribe.
He died like this now, and his family is now under control. Although he has not gone to the Jinyiwei prison, once Chen Chongqi is sure that something is wrong, then Chen Chongqi's family will probably be in trouble. Now he wants to rescue one or two, it is troublesome. He doesn't know who to look for. The Jinyiwei who had done their work for them before died. Now who dares to do things stupidly for them? What if he is killed again?
On the side of the Jinyiwei Prison, Zhang Hao sat in the lobby of the yamen. The Jinyiwei came over with a confession and handed it to Zhang Hao. Some officials had already confessed, and some officials had not confessed. They refused to admit it. Zhang Hao didn't need them to admit it all, as long as more than half of it would be fine.
"Commander, with this evidence, we will be much easier to deal with. We are not afraid of pressure from civil officials!" Zhao Qian said with relief when he saw so many confessions coming.
"Well, I'll leave you two with a task!" Zhang Hao nodded and asked.
"Sir, please tell me!" Zhao Qian and Xie Zhengqing immediately stood up and bowed.
"We are all the emperor's people, and I trust you too. I believe you will not be stupid enough to get this position and betray the emperor. Lu Bing is too greedy, so he died. If you two have collected any money now, write it now, I will hand it over to the emperor and protect you personally. Your affairs will end here.
If you don’t believe me, it doesn’t matter. You cut off the relationship with the outside. As long as it’s not something that happened after today, you have been investigated, I, Zhang Hao, will plead for you too!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to them. They were a little stunned. Didn’t Zhang Hao say that he would leave it to his two people to do business? Why did he suddenly say this? He was in this position and it was impossible for him to confiscate the money.
"Sir, we have never received a big money, we have received a little favor!" Zhao Qian bowed to Zhang Hao and said.
"Yes, sir, we followed Commander Lu before and could only drink soup!" Xie Zhengqing also bowed to Zhang Hao and said.
"Is that so? I have already greeted you in advance anyway. Once you still have a lucky heart in the future, then when the whole family is executed, or even the three or nine clans are killed, don't blame me!" Zhang Hao stared at them and asked. When they heard this, they immediately knelt down.
"Sir, I don't dare!" Zhao Qian's forehead was sweating. They had been in the Jinyiwei for so long, but they knew Zhang Hao's temper and said it would do whatever he said!
"You go to the next room by yourself? I will give you an hour. Whether you write or not, I will give you tasks. Remember, either, or you don't write anything clearly. I will take it to the emperor, plead for you, and keep your position. I will let the emperor write down the previous things!
Of course, the emperor will definitely punish you, but it is probably also a punishment for money. You should consider it yourself. As for the same sentence, no matter whether you write or not, you are the commander and tutors. I will give you a chance to do the job!" Zhang Hao said to the two of them. They looked at each other, but they did not expect that Zhang Hao would actually give them this.
"Thank you!" the two of them bowed to Zhang Hao, and then they went to the next room.
When the two of them arrived, they were hesitant and didn't know whether to write it. Among them, Xie Zhengqing's family had a wealth of more than 300,000 taels, while Zhao Qian's family was not bad, and there were more than 200,000 taels.
These money were given by others, and they helped others a lot of things, but if they wrote it out, what if the emperor punished him? But if he didn't write it, Zhang Hao would still trust him, but they thought that Zhang Hao would definitely change his people and command the position of Tongzhi, but he was very high and could meet the emperor.
Once the commander is not in the capital, he will be instructing the Tongzhi to report the matter!
Zhang Hao sat there, waiting, waiting for more confessions to come. Zhang Hao looked at each confession carefully, and it would be fine if they confessed. An hour passed quickly, but for Xie Zhengqing and Zhao Qian, they were suffering from it.
In the end, they wrote, even if they died, Zhang Hao would plead with him, at least his family would be able to keep him. If he didn't write, he would have been investigated, and he would have been killed, or even killed three or nine clans. They dare not bet. Since Zhang Hao asked himself this, it would mean that Zhang Hao had evidence in his hands. In fact, Zhang Hao had no evidence in his hands.
However, some records were recorded in the files of the two of them. These files were not in the Jinyiwei, and on the emperor, the emperor did not show them to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao did not ask. Besides, he had only been in office for a few days, and Jiajing did not think about showing them to Zhang Hao.
"Sir!" Zhao Qian and the others came out, folded more than ten pieces of paper, and handed them to Zhang Hao, and the same was true for Xie Zhengqing.
"I have written all of them, no omissions?" Zhang Hao took it over and asked as he looked at the two of them.
"I dare not!" the two of them immediately bowed and said.
"Okay, I won't look at these. I'll take a look before I go to the palace later and talk about your errands. Now, those who have picked up letters will go to Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Zhejiang immediately, and focus on those salt merchants to see where their salt is stored. If they dare to destroy the salt, you will take the local army to control those people!" Zhang Hao explained to them.
"Ah, yes!" The two of them immediately bowed and said. "Zhao Qian, your people are staring at Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Shanxi are the top priority. Xie Zhengqing, you arrange for someone to stare at Shandong, Henan and Hebei!" Zhang Hao continued to say to them.
"Yes, sir, let's do it right now!" the two of them immediately bowed and said.
