"Okay! The salt tax paid to me by Yangzhou is only 4 million taels a year, but they dare to embezzle more than 10 million taels. Do I still want to thank them and leave me some soup?" As he said this, Ma Jin became more and more angry and angrily picked up the file of the imperial case and threw it to the ground with his face ashen and his chest was fluttering violently.

Seeing Ma Jin's thundering furious, everyone in the Chugong Hall trembled and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to make any moves. Even Di Renjie, who was old god, burst into tears. He had never seen the emperor get so angry. It seems that these officials in Yangzhou have really touched the emperor's bottom line.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen was shocked when he saw Ma Jin's thunderous anger. He was stunned for a while before he hurriedly ran over and held one of Ma Jin's arms with one hand and stretched out his palm to slowly caress him, "Your Majesty, don't hurt the dragon body! It's really not worth it for these bastards!

Or, the old slave will send a message to the Inner Guard Mansion and deal with them all?"

After all, Ma Jin was a young man. He quickly adjusted his breathing evenly, shook off Wang Chengen's hand, walked back to the dragon chaise longue and sat down: "Isn't it too cheap for them to deal with them?"

"Wang Cheng'en!"

"I'm here!" Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed.

"You go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately to send an order to ask Shen Lian to copy all the mansions of these bastards to me!"

"I obey the order!" After receiving the order, Wang Chengen did not dare to neglect, so he immediately withdrew from the hall to pass the order.

"Di Qing, who are the people involved in the deepest incident here?" Ma Jin looked at Di Renjie with a faint tone, without any warmth, but the chill in his words made Di Renjie stiffen.

Di Renjie took a deep breath and bowed and replied: "The biggest involved so far are Lieutenant Ma Yu of Fengguo, Lieutenant Ma Tan of the Supplementary State, Duke Jia Hae of Danyang County, Wu Chongdao of Yangling Hou, Wu Wenguang of Xue Guohou, Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Xingyu, Deputy Censor of the Censorate, Feng Guangxiao of the Salt Road, and..."

"Say!" Seeing that Di Renjie was a little hesitant, Ma Jin said unquestionably.

"There is also Xiao Zong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!" Di Renjie bowed and said.

Ma Jin was also stunned when he heard the name Xiao Zong. He specially arranged Xiao Zong to enter the Ministry of Revenue. How long has he been trapped in?

Thinking of Xiao Pun's identity, Ma Jin's murderous intent was also weak, and he suddenly became entangled in his heart. Xiao Pun is the closest nephew of Empress Dowager Xiao. Thinking of Empress Dowager Xiao's kindness to him, he could not say the word "kill".

This is how people are. If they have nothing to do with them, they can do whatever they want. No one can say it. But as long as they reach themselves, they will all come out of double standards, reasons, and reasons. After all, human relationships and worldly things are not chaotic, and even the most ruthless emperor will turn into soft fingers when they care about the most, not to mention that Ma Jin can't reach that level.

"How deeply is Xiao Zhun involved?"

After struggling for a long time, taking a deep breath, Ma Jin could only speak in a deep voice.

When Di Renjie heard this, he looked up at the emperor in surprise and then quickly lowered his head. He thought the emperor would gently expose Xiao Zong's affairs, but he didn't expect the emperor to...

Thinking of this, Di Renjie quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, because Xiao Zong's tenure was still short, he was not deeply involved in it. According to the salt merchants and the officials of the Salt Department, Shenwu once went to Beijing to give Xiao Zong 20,000 taels of ice and 30,000 carbon!"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver are really a big deal? Ah!" Ma Jin laughed in anger.

"It's considered a small amount to your Majesty. According to these people's instructions, Zhang Xingyu gave the most. Every year, Bing Jingcai is as much as 300,000 taels, which is not anything else!"

"Okay! Very good! Someone told me before that the salt merchants in Yangzhou had a lot of money, and they used silver notes as firewood, and they threw gold into the river from time to time for fun. I didn't believe it at that time. Now they always gave it tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels. Now it seems that they really don't take money as money!"

"I see, if these salt merchants don't get rid of the problem, they will use silver notes as paper for their butts in a short while!" Ma Jin said with a sneer.

"Di Qing, go to the Yangzhou Governor's Office to issue an order immediately, and take all the salt merchants and corrupt officials involved in the case to the execution ground to clarify the justice and punishment!"

"I want those salt merchants and officials to see what the consequences would be if they stretch out their hands randomly!" Ma Jin said in a cold light.

"I will receive the order!" Di Renjie bowed to accept the order, and then bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, what should the families of those criminals deal with it? Please make clear!"

Ma Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Let the Neiwei Mansion investigate and punish anyone who commits crimes. As for others, I will be exiled to the wild land of Yingzhou to cultivate farms!"

When Di Renjie heard this, his face felt a little unbearable. You should know that the wild land of Yingzhou is located in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, bordering the northern ice ocean, thousands of miles away. The land is heavy and the ice is covered with snow, not the world. There are few people who can travel thousands of miles away, and there is no place in the world.

From early spring to March, the strong winds are like thunder and lightning are all lost. From April to June, it rains one after another, and it snows heavily in July. In August, the river water is frozen, and the snow becomes solid ice when it reaches the ground. Looking at it, there are no more than one ten people exiled to this place. Therefore, some people once said: "People say that the road to the Yellow Springs is, if they arrive in the wilderness of Yingzhou, there will be ten Yellow Springs.

"But, Your Majesty, those women, children and children are innocent people in the eyes of me. Please give me a gentle resignation."

"Innocent? Where did the innocent people come from?" Ma Jin could say something when he heard this.

"Hmph! They are innocent? All the people who cannot eat salt are innocent? All the ordinary people who are bullied by them are innocent? All the victims who were starved to death because of the empty treasury and silver relief, they are innocent?" Speaking of this, Ma Jin became more and more angry as he thought about it. He couldn't help but think of the scenes in Puyang City, and couldn't help but snort and said.

"Of course I do not deny that there are many kind people among them, but since they have enjoyed the various conveniences and luxury life given by their fathers, they will naturally have to pay the price they deserve. If they want to hate, they hate themselves for being born in a wealthy family. It doesn't work if the law does not blame the public for me!" Ma Jin said unquestionably.

Seeing that Ma Jin had made up his mind, Di Renjie did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only bow to accept the order.

"And the few people you just mentioned have also been taken down by me. Those with titles will be eliminated and handed over to Dali Temple to strictly guard them. I will deal with them after I come back to my senses!"

"That Xiao Brown?" Di Renjie looked up and carefully.

"Is there any difference between him? The emperor broke the law and was also guilty of the common people, let alone a small royal relative!" Ma Jin said expressionlessly.

"I received the order!" Di Renjie couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. How could this be the same? It's just a joke that the emperor broke the law and even committed the same crime as the common people!

"Also, you will send an order later to let Yuhua County Baohe County Magistrate Yu Shizhen come to Jiangning to meet you!" Ma Jin suddenly said again, making Di Renjie wonder, how could Ma Jin meet a seventh-rank sesame official?

Seeing Di Renjie's puzzled expression, Ma Jin couldn't help but feel relieved, and he smiled and said, "Di Qing, this Yu Shizhen is a very interesting person. You will know when Di Qing meets him in person!" As he said this, Ma Jin remembered something again, and his face turned solemn: "Di Qing, Yangzhou has been raining for a while, and there is no sunny day. It is a period of frequent typhoons, so I may worry about floods and floods!"

Di Renjie also looked solemn and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am just about to report this to Your Majesty. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty's holy light shines, and it is already in my heart. It's really beyond my reach!"

Looking at Di Renjie's flattery, Ma Jin immediately felt relieved and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Di Qing, don't flatter me. I am now asking you to be the governor of Yangzhou. You immediately mobilize your subordinates to do a good job in flood control during the rainy season. At the same time, you are ordered to carefully check the water conservancy, river and coastal defense situations, without any omissions. If anyone dares to slack off, he will be severely punished!"

"I, please accept the order!" Di Renjie bowed and said.

"Well, okay, Di Qing, go and do it first, I'm a little tired!" Ma Jin said to Di Renjie after handling the matter.

"That's my turn to leave first!"

After Di Renjie left, Ma Jin stood up and stretched, then walked towards Houting...

Just as Ma Jin and Di Renjie were talking, Yangzhou Pacification Shen Lian, who received the imperial edict, led the Neiwei to launch a large-scale dispatch to raid the officials involved in the case and the salt merchants' mansions, and all the families captured them together.

The thunderous action of the Pacification Department directly stunned the officials from all over Yangzhou. When the officials involved in the case and the salt merchants were all pulled to the execution ground and their heads were beheaded, they were even more scared.

Not only the officials in Yangzhou, but also after the news was reported to the world at the Dazhou residence, the officials of other salt transportation departments were also scared. When they woke up, they quickly filled in the account, made fake accounts, and concealed their property. They were busy sweating profusely, nervous and haggard.

Later, Ma Jin issued an order to supervise the Yangzhou Salt Administration Minister and Prime Minister of Yangzhou Salt Affairs, be responsible for appeasement and reorganization of salt affairs, and practice the salt patrol and inspect private salt.

...

Pear blossoms are like snow grass like smoke,

Spring is on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

A cosmetic building is surrounded by water,

Every family's fans shine on the beauty of the moon.

Ten miles of Qinhuai, one river is separated by the two sides of the river, there are music and singing everywhere in the river, the boats are full of water, the waves are rippling, the lights are hazy, it seems that even the wind and water have a scent of powder, which is indescribable.

At this time, under the moonlight of Qinhuai, there are fireworks blooming in the prosperous era; there are beauties like picturesque, singing and dancing to peace; there are literati and poets who recite their calligraphy, and the night scenes of Qinhuai are like a beautiful picture scroll.

Ma Jin walked alone by the willow shore, quietly watching the prosperity of this prosperous era, naturally it has a unique charm, and there are still different experiences.
