Can ordinary businesses make so much money?

This involves official goods such as salt and iron. In the eyes of others, it seems to be an untouchable restricted area, but the Kong family does not take it seriously at all.

As the Supreme Master, it is normal for selling some private salt and other things...

Moreover, it is not only our Kong family who does this kind of business. At least half of the salt in the world is smuggled.

It goes without saying that those who dare to do this business must have a close relationship with the officials in the court.

Which local government dares not to give face to the Kong family?

Therefore, no matter where Zhai Zongxi goes, it is always unobstructed.

But now, this person appeared in Zhaoyu, and there was almost no complete piece of flesh on his body.

Zhai Zongxi seemed to recognize Kong Yanjin as well. The empty eyes finally showed the light of hope, and she wailed: "Sir Taishan, save me, save me..."

All Kong Yanjin had was fear, and his body trembled involuntarily and gritted his teeth.

Yuan Bin came to him and said slowly: "You are a son-in-law who has confessed. Over the years, he has taken care of many of the businesses in the Confucius Mansion. The Ming Dynasty's law clearly stipulates that selling private salt requires beheading!"

Kong Yanjin looked frightened and didn't know what to do.

Yuan Bin continued: "Isn't the Confucius Mansion responsible for education? Well, let's talk about education today. As a model of morality, benevolence and righteousness, the word "loyalty and righteousness" also comes from your ancestors, but now they are openly against the court and sell private salt. How can they be the example of scholars in the world?"

Kong Yanjin replied in a panic: "I just don't ask about this... business matter, I really don't know, I don't know..."

Yuan Bin showed a sneer on his face and said, "Three months ago, the White Lotus Sect rebellion was filed, and the Jiangnan smuggling case. I think the Kong family should have heard of it? Your son-in-law not only admitted that he had been selling private salt for many years, but also confessed that he had contact with many people in the White Lotus Sect and Jiangnan smuggling case. Moreover, most of them were instructed by you, Yan Shenggong. How can this be explained?"

"I, I... cannot. This is all his own decision. I have never..."

Kong Yanjin hurriedly lost his words and denied them, as if he was afraid that he would be convicted if he was too late.

Yuan Bin ignored it at all and continued, "Do you know how the imperial court dealt with the rebel party? The White Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates joined forces, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in an instant. There were countless gentry officials smuggled in Jiangnan, so what? With the emperor's order, he chopped all the Kacha Kacha!"

"The Jinyiwei is the personal army of the emperor. My Yuan Bin's words and deeds represent the emperor's intention. What do you think you are, how many servants you have, or how many soldiers you have, and how many soldiers you have, dare to go against the emperor? I summoned you today, and I wanted to leave some dignity for you, but you were ungrateful and acted recklessly in front of me. Do you really think that you can be lawless with the title of Yan Shenggong?"

"Since you are so ungrateful, you can't blame others. Now the Zhai family has already copied it and found a lot of gold, silver and evidence. It is a foregone conclusion that this stolen person has all the evidence and evidence. You don't want to speak, but it doesn't matter. There are many people who don't say anything. There are not many people in the world who confess here. After all, they are just dishonest, just like your son-in-law..."

Yuan Bin pointed at Zhai Zongxi and said, "I'll stay here for a while. I keep it. Even if your father wants to rebel, you will confess. You are now guilty. You are still accused of making excuses in front of me after you come here. Do you think the Jinyiwei is the one who opened a good hall?"

At this time, Kong Yanjin had long lost his previous attitude, his face full of fear and his soul was scattered.

Yuan Bin's words have been said very clearly. First, this is what the emperor means, and second, the Jinyiwei can do whatever he wants.

But I am here to reason. I adhere to the principle of not taking action when I can quarrel. I don’t know that if I slap my mouth when I come up, who can stand it...
