Emperor Tianqi was very surprised. The killings here were so blatant that Emperor Tianqi really didn't expect...the murderers were so unscrupulous. Emperor Tianqi looked at the Zhizhou governor with less friendly eyes.

It was clearly this Zhizhou who broke in with someone just now. Regardless of whether this behavior is right or wrong in itself, the consequences it has now can only show that this Zhizhou is incompetent.

Taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve, he gently covered his nose, and Zhizhou walked into the single room. After confirming that the man was dead, the old man Zhizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Looking back at the arrester behind him, the magistrate of Zhizhou said in a deep voice: "Let the man come to do the autopsy and issue a notice offering a reward for the culprit!" After saying that, the magistrate walked out of the room and threw away the silk in his hand.

"This is most likely the work of Jiangyang's thieves. You must do your best to trace it without slacking off. I'll leave this to you, Mr. Bai. Take your people to check it carefully. If you have any results, you will report them to me!" Zhizhou said!

The old man's face was calm and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about the case.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't bear it anymore. What kind of official is this? This person obviously just died and was killed here. He didn't check the person or interrogate him, and now he actually wants to leave. Based on these few items alone,

This is definitely not a good official.

Thinking of what he had just said, Emperor Tianqi felt his face get hot. He also praised Sun Yuanhua. How clever could he, the governor of Shandong, be in appointing such an official? A murder occurred as soon as he arrived here, and the government was actually like this

Attitude, how far has Jining City reached?

Suddenly he felt someone pulling him, and Emperor Tianqi felt a little surprised. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yuan Keli. This old man was winking and winking at Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi was originally in a bad mood, but when he saw that wrinkled face, he winked like a child, and the white beard on his lower forehead was pouty, it was really funny.

Emperor Tianqi indicated that he understood, and Yuan Keli breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and called a guard over, and Yuan Keli whispered a few words in his ear,

It seemed like he was asking the guards to do something.

The imperial guard obviously did not show any respect, but was preparing to report to Emperor Tianqi. Yuan Keli on the side suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. His lips were trembling and he could not speak, and his face turned red.

Nodding to the guards, Emperor Tianqi didn't ask anything, and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead!"

"Yes, Young Master!" The imperial guard bowed to Emperor Tianqi and then turned and left.

Staring at Li Fang fiercely, Chen Lin came to Emperor Tianqi's side with a sneer and said: "Sir, let's go back! There are so many people here talking and it's such a mess. If anything happens, let's go back to Putian."

Find a way!"

After looking around, Emperor Tianqi also felt that what Chen Lin said made sense. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay! Lead the way, let's go back!"

The group had no intention of visiting the night market. Emperor Tianqi had a gloomy face along the way, and no one dared to speak.

After returning to the ship, Emperor Tianqi finished his dinner and came to the deck. He looked at the river not far away with a wry smile on his face.

"Yuan Aiqing, what did you ask that guard to do?" Emperor Tianqi did not turn around, stroking the railing and said in a calm tone.

"Back to the emperor, I asked the imperial guards to keep an eye on the magistrate and see where he went!" Yuan Keli bowed and replied in a respectful tone. The reason why he did not tell Emperor Tianqi at that time, but directly approached the imperial guards,

I'm just afraid that I won't have enough time.

Smiling helplessly, Emperor Tianqi said with a hint of dejection: "I have just left the palace, and I never expected to encounter such a thing. Killing people in a restaurant is really bold. I, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, also

It’s really crazy.”

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Lord Zhizhou may not be a fool, and what happened today was probably done on purpose." Yuan Keli had a bit of anger on his face, and did not hide it at all. He was merciless in his words.

Emperor Tianqi also noticed that something was wrong, but he was too angry and couldn't figure it out. After glancing at Yuan Keli, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "My dear, just say whatever you have to say! I'm listening!

"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Today's case is very clear. Someone in the restaurant killed someone. The Jining magistrate seemed very active when he arrived. He went into the house to check the body in person. After that, he walked out and said something.

Without mentioning Si Liu, Wei Chen dares to conclude that the reason why Jining Zhizhou entered the house was not to solve the case and look at the corpse. If it was to look at the corpse, he would naturally not come out so quickly and did nothing. Then Wei Chen will

Let me ask, if it wasn't to see the corpse, why did he go in? What makes me even more incredible is the piece of silk in Jining Zhizhou's hand. He was obviously very reluctant, but he had to go in. What on earth was that?

For this reason, the magistrate must go in and take a look!" Yuan Keli's eyes shone with wisdom, and there was a hint of excitement.

Looking back at Yuan Keli, Emperor Tianqi felt a little surprised that this old man was so interested in solving the case. Seeing him talking, Emperor Tianqi wanted to ask, are you Di Renjie? Li Yuanfang is here

where?

Seeing that Yuan Keli's words were well-founded, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but think about it. Based on the criminal investigation TV series he watched in his previous life, he boldly speculated: "After Jining Zhizhou entered, his eyes were still focused on the corpse. If he hadn't done it for the autopsy,

And observing the corpse. Then there is only one possibility left, he is determining the identity of the deceased and whether he is really dead."

"Your Majesty, Sheng Ming, Wei Chen also thought so. After finding out that the person he knew died, and confirming that he was dead, Jining Zhizhou couldn't wait to leave. Where did he want to go at this time, that was a very interesting thing

It's something!" Yuan Keli had a sinister smile on his face, like a child who had succeeded in a prank, and his white beard was pouting at Lao Gao.

It was really unexpected that Yuan Keli, who was so young, would still have such a bad taste. It was really unexpected. What else did Emperor Tianqi want to say, when a guard strode over with no expression on his face.

Emperor Tianqi and Yuan Keli looked at each other with expressions of interest on their faces, maybe this was how they got their money.

"Please change it!" The imperial guard said with respect on his face, he saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said in a respectful tone. Seeing Emperor Tianqi indicating that he was exempt from the ceremony, the imperial guard said to Yuan Keli on the side: "I have seen Mr. Yuan.

!”

"I've seen it, I've seen it! Tell me, where has the governor gone?" Yuan Keli couldn't wait to pull the guard over and asked eagerly.

The imperial guard was slightly startled, and saw Emperor Tianqi nodding towards him, and said expressionlessly: "The magistrate of Jining went directly back to the prefecture's Yamen. There is nothing unusual about it."

"That's wrong! How is this possible?" Yuan Keli frowned tightly and stroked his beard, looking confused.

"However, later, a man came out of the Yamen of the state capital, sitting as a proud man. I asked the people around me, but they didn't know. Later, I followed this proud man, who belongs to a wealthy businessman in this city. I

I asked people around me and found out that this wealthy businessman's surname is Lin, and he is a big local businessman." The guard did not look at Yuan Keli's face and continued to speak unhurriedly.

Staring at the guard fiercely, Yuan Ke immediately wanted to eat him, gasping for breath while talking!

After waving his hand to signal the guards to go down, Emperor Tianqi discovered that Yuan Keli still had this side, like a fighting cock.

"Okay, Yuan Aiqing! Now that the results are out, go ahead and talk about it!" Although Emperor Tianqi thought it was fun, he was not in the mood to play now and changed the subject.

"Yes, Your Majesty! After the Yongning Zhizhou confirmed that this person was dead, he couldn't wait to go back and inform the rich man Lin. The rich man Lin had also been waiting at the Zhizhou Mansion, indicating that the dead person was very important. And

The rich man Lin and the magistrate of Jining were all aware of this man's death. Afterwards, Jining dealt with it vaguely and mentioned the gangster before leaving, obviously wanting to hide the murderer."

Yuan Keli's eyes flashed with a faint light, staring at the dark water, with a strange expression on his face.

Emperor Tianqi no longer looked at Yuan Keli's face, and was also thinking about the ins and outs of the matter. What weighed on Emperor Tianqi's heart was not this case, but another word, and that was salt!

While in the private room, Emperor Tianqi faintly heard the conversation between the two people, in which a very key word was mentioned, that is, salt. Unlike later generations, salt in later generations was not a good thing, but in this era, salt is very

A profitable industry. If you really compare it to doing salt trading in this era, it would be like the boss of a coal mine.

However, because salt was controlled by the state at this time, there was a more profitable business, and that was private salt.

"Wei Chen has one thing that he can't figure out. What can be used to dress these people up? The deceased is the magistrate of Jining, a wealthy man named Lin. What is the secret here? It seems that it will be difficult to find out without finding out the identity of the deceased.

The reason behind this!" Yuan Keli frowned tightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and said a little dejectedly.

"Salt, it's all because of salt. Before that person died, I vaguely heard the conversation between the deceased and another person. I vaguely heard them mention salt, the salt transported by ship!" Emperor Tianqi's eyes were filled with emotion.

He was solemn, but his voice was calm.
