Chapter 325

Zhu Xinlong told Zhang Hao that he hoped that Zhang Hao could be proud and let those salt merchants go. Zhang Hao immediately asked back, "If you let those merchants go, what should you do if you want salt shortage?"

"Didn't this find a lot of salt today? These salts can probably withstand it for a while!" Zhu Xinlong said after thinking for a while.

"Then according to what you said, they are bullying me. I didn't find salt, but they said there was no. I found it, and you said you wanted me to let them go. Why, together you joined forces to bully me?" Zhang Hao asked at Zhu Xinlong with an unhappy look at him and said.

"No, there is really no this. You misunderstood my uncle. How did I unite with them?" Zhu Xinlong immediately bowed and said.

"If we didn't unite, how could you plead for them? Do you know that I just received the appointment to rectify the salt and iron tea. Before I started doing it, the salt merchants gave me a warning. What's wrong? As Zhang Hao is easy to bully me, Zhang Hao, and before he started to act, they began to stop selling salt and use this to slap my face? Uncle, my face is easy to beat, I am so easy to bully?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinlong and questioned,

Zhu Xinlong waved his hand and said, "Your nephew is serious, it's really serious. You see, this is also a misunderstanding. They probably don't know what measures you will take, so they are guarding against it. You said right? You have a lot of people in this matter, let them go!"

"If I let them go, can the people from the Censorate let me go? If I let those prisoners go privately? Will they let me go? And, can the officials in the court let me go?" Zhang Hao continued to ask him.

"Don't worry, they will definitely not impeach this matter. The ministers also know that if the salt merchants are really arrested, the people of my Ming Dynasty will be in chaos!" Zhu Xinlong said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao sat there and thought about it. Before, Zhang Hao had originally planned to let the salt merchants go and find a relationship. Zhang Hao wanted to catch them all, but he did not leave any trouble for himself, nor did he give the people behind the salt merchants a chance to revenge him. Now Zhu Xinlong is actually here to plead, so let's go with the flow!

"Okay, uncle, give me a guarantee, that is, I will release those salt merchants, and those people in the court will not impeach me. If I impeach me, you will be responsible!" Zhang Hao thought about it for a moment and said to Zhu Xinlong.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely help here. You know, King Jin is in the capital, and I will immediately send a letter to you. Then, let King Jin speak to you in the capital!" Zhu Xinlong heard Zhang Hao agree and immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, then it's afternoon. It's impossible to say that I'll let you go after you arrest me, and I don't have any face!" Zhang Hao said in Zhu Xinlong.

Zhu Xinlong nodded with a smile, then said to Zhang Hao: "When will you have time here? Is it good to go to my mansion to have a day?"

"Forget it, I won't go anymore. I'm still thinking about going back to the capital soon. It's not fun here!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and said.

"Okay, then you need my help here. Just speak, I will definitely help you!" Zhu Xinlong said to Zhang Hao, still very happy.

If those salt merchants released the salt, there is still a way to get the salt that was searched now. At that time, the court still needs to pay money. After all, there is so much salt, you can't just say that the court will take it away. Then you must pay money. At that time, you will ask Zhang Hao for this money!

"Okay, thank you uncle!" Zhang Hao bowed to Zhu Xinlong with a smile,

After chatting for a while, Zhu Xinlong left, and Zhang Hao sent him to the door of the wing room. Looking at Zhu Xinlong's back as he left, Zhang Hao sneered, then returned to the wing room, sitting there making tea and

At noon, Chen Lian came over and reported to Zhang Hao about the arrest situation today. All the families of the salt merchants were arrested, and the shopkeepers of the salt merchants were also controlled. The salt merchants got nearly 4 million dan of salt, which was enough for the people of the Ming Dynasty to use for half a year. The salt merchants actually said that there was not so much salt.

"You go outside and tell the salt merchants that it was Zhu Xinlong who assisted the country and I let them go out!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian.

"Sir, didn't you say you wanted to let them go?" Chen Lian heard this, what was wrong, why did he say that it was Zhu Xinlong's plea?

"I planned this before, now give them some hope? Otherwise, how could they continue to move on? This matter is not that simple!" Zhang Hao said with a smile at Chen Lian.

"I understand, sir, I'll make arrangements now!" Chen Lian nodded and left,

At this time, Yu Dafang came over and wanted to invite Zhang Hao to dinner. Zhang Hao would definitely be happy. Why not eat it for free?

On the side of the capital, Jiajing was sitting there at the moment. There was no news yet. I just knew that Zhang Hao had set off from Xuanhua yesterday and headed to Taiyuan, but I don’t know what the situation is now in Taiyuan.

Jiajing was a little worried at this moment, worried that Zhang Hao would not handle this matter well. His purpose this time was to suppress King Jin, and at the same time, he suppressed the other princes. The current salt and pig iron are shadows of the princes behind them. The money originally returned to the court finally entered the pockets of the vassal kings. How could this satisfy Jiajing? But he was worried that Zhang Hao's wisdom might not be so strong, and would it lead to King Jin.

"Lu Fang, do you think I want to write a letter and tell Zhang Hao what the purpose of this service is?" Jiajing asked with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, haven't you explained it to him?" Lu Fang looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked.

"No, I just hope that King Jin can agree to deduct the case money, but Zhang Hao may not understand why he should do this!" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and shook his head and said.

"This, Your Majesty, how could Zhang Hao know what to do? I thought you and Zhang Hao had made it clear!" When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately looked at Jiajing with disbelief.

"I'm careless, I'm careless. Go and grind the ink. I'll write a letter immediately and give it to Zhang Hao, so that Zhang Hao can do it well. This time, we must suppress those vassal kings. King Jin is the first, and other vassal kings cannot be let go!" Jiajing immediately said to Lu Fang.

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang immediately went to grind the ink as soon as he heard this.

After a while, Jiajing sat there writing. After finishing writing, he immediately said to Lu Fang: "Hu Zongxian hasn't gone yet. Go and ask. If you haven't gone, give him the letter and let him bring it to Zhang Hao!"

"Yes, my master, I will do it now. If Hu Zongxian goes, I will ask the Jinyiwei to send someone to see him off!" Lu Fang immediately bowed and said.

"Okay!" Jiajing nodded, and then felt a little relieved.

And in the afternoon, after the salt merchants came out, they immediately went to Zhu Xinlong's mansion.

"Sir, help, help, all our family members have been arrested!" The salt merchants arrived at Zhu Xinlong's living room and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"No, did Zhang Hao not let it go? He agreed to me and let you go!" Zhu Xinlong looked at the people in surprise and asked, then thought something was wrong. He said in front of Zhang Hao this morning that he had put the salt merchants, but he did not say that the salt merchants' families were put.

"I didn't let it go. If Zhang Hao can let our family go, it would be great!" Fan Tianming immediately bowed to Zhu Xinlong and said.

"Okay, I'll go find Zhang Hao now!" Zhu Xinlong also stood up. If he didn't let those family members go, what's the use of just letting those salt merchants go? This matter is still a trouble.

"Sir, wait a minute, sir, now I guess Zhang Hao won't let anyone go! The key now is how to react to the court. Zhang Hao took away all our stored salt, which was worth tens of millions of taels of silver!" Fan Tianming shouted Zhu Xinlong and said.

"The court will definitely pay for this at that time. It is impossible to just snatch it. If it is snatched, the ministers in the court will not agree!" Zhu Xinlong said to them immediately.

"But, can those ministers shake Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao is protected by the emperor!" Wang Chongyi looked at Zhu Xinlong with a worried look.

"How could I rob merchants of the Ming Dynasty? If it spreads, how could I establish a country in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Xinlong said staring at Wang Chongyi.

"That's good, that's good. Sir, if you can get the money, then the family members will not be in a hurry. Now we want to make it difficult for Zhang Hao to get rid of the tiger. Since he has arrested our family, we must find a way to ask Zhang Hao to invite them out and send them back!" Wang Chongyi said very ferociously at this moment. He had more than 1 million tents of salt in his family. Unexpectedly, he was taken to the pot this time. Now he can't even go back to his home. Fortunately, there is still some money in his pocket, but not much, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to live tonight.

"Let Zhang Hao send it back? How to send it back?" Zhu Xinlong looked at them with some incomprehension and asked.

"This time Zhang Hao robbed our salt, which was originally a violation of our Ming law. Seizing our family is not in line with the Ming law. We did not violate the law, how could he check it?" Zhang Sijiao also shouted angrily.

No matter what, Zhang Hao could not arrest their family. Although they wrote notes saying that there was no salt, they could not be sealed. At most, they would be fined. Moreover, with so much money, they believed that as long as they took out a part of it and gave it to those ministers, those ministers would definitely be able to kill Zhang Hao.
