Chapter 99 Domineering Zhang Jing
Li Ji’s pawn shop is a point in the inner factory, and Qi Ying is also a shopkeeper to the outside world, but he is only a shopkeeper and doesn’t care about things normally. This business does not mean that there is really a business, but that someone comes to the door.
But at this time, who would find the inner factory? However, Qi Ying still stood up and greeted him.
When he walked to the reception room, Qi Ying saw a middle-aged man. He was sucking his head and siping tea. When he saw Qi Ying coming, he stood up with a smile and said, "But Qi Ying, the commander of the inner factory?"
Qi Ying was stunned, then nodded, and said with a serious look: "Who are you?"
"This is the sign!" The visitor handed a sign to Qi Ying, and then said: "Before leaving Beijing, Eunuch Xu from the inner factory handed the sign to Li and asked Li to come here to find Qi."
"I am Li Zhongxing, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "I guess Commander Qi is not unfamiliar with me, right?"
Qi Ying looked at the brand. This was the identity card of the inner factory, and its function was very simple, and it was just to verify the true nature. This brand was indeed from the factory in Beijing. After seeing it, Qi Ying handed the brand to Hei Ge.
According to the rules of the internal factory, this brand can only be used once, and then it needs to be put away and sent back.
"It turns out it is the head of the Li family of King Zhang and Li Fan!" Qi Ying said with a smile: "I have really admired the reputation for a long time!" As he said that, Qi Ying hugged Li Zhongxing and then smiled and said, "The Xiaguan has received a command from the factory, but he didn't expect that General Manager Li would arrive today."
Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "It was a few days ago. I arrived with the imperial envoy. But I felt a little cold these days, so this is better."
Qi Ying naturally knew that Li Zhongxing was a cold saying that he was ruling, but in fact Li Zhongxing did not hide his ruling. With Qi Ying's identity, he naturally understood that Li Zhongxing was inconvenient.
"The factory official sent an order that all the staff of the inner factory in Yangzhou need to cooperate with General Manager Li."
Qi Ying was not tangling with that question, but directly changed the topic: "If you have any needs, please give me instructions."
Li Zhongxing glanced at Qi Ying, then said with a smile: "Then I will be in charge of the leadership. This time I come here, what I want is the investigation information of the salt merchants in the internal factory. Anyone who has more than 10,000 dan of salt will need it."
"No problem!" Qi Ying said with a smile: "But there are a lot of information. I don't know where to send it to General Manager Li?"
"Just send it to my mansion in Yangzhou!" Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "We will rely more on Commander Qi in the future. I hope Commander Qi will take care of him!"
Li Zhongxing said it very politely, but in fact he was really worried about yamen like the inner factory.
However, Li Zhongxing also knew that if he really committed something, the people from the inner factory would not show mercy. However, after so many years of business, Li Zhongxing knew that he could not offend people casually. You don’t know who would cause you big trouble.
Especially for those who are like internal factories, if you have a better attitude, the internal factories will cause less trouble for themselves.
"No problem. If you have any problems, you can come to Qi at any time." Qi Ying said with a smile.
After seeing off Li Zhongxing, Hei Ge pointed at Qi Ying and said, "Master, what are we going to do next? The imperial envoy directly captured Yan Huaiyuan, and our arrangements would be useless. We can't get involved in handling the case!"
After looking at the black pigeon, Qi Ying said in a deep voice: "Sign up and tell the people below to stare at me."
"We don't care about the case where the imperial envoy handles the case, but we can't make mistakes on our own, let them keep an eye on the person. If there is a problem with the imperial envoy, we will catch the person back."
Hei Ge laughed and said, "I understand, just look at it! It's definitely okay."
After returning to his home, Li Zhongxing lived a simple and easy-to-understand life. He looked through the files sent by the internal factory every day. In fact, he knew many people, even familiar with them, but he didn't know some private matters.
However, after reading the file from the internal factory, Li Zhongxing was frightened and sweated heavily.
"These people!" Li Zhongxing put down the file in his hand and sighed helplessly. There were still many familiar things he was familiar with. He even wanted to help him this time, but after taking a look at what they did in private, Li Zhongxing could only shake his head and sigh.
This was his first job since he became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Zhongxing didn't want to mess it up.
The imperial envoy.
Cao Yikui glanced at Yan Huaiyuan, put down the account book in his hand, and then said, "Mr. Yan, our colleagues are in the same battle. What do I ask? What do you say? Let's not waste your talk."
Zhang Jing sat aside, not saying anything, but looked at Yan Huaiyuan with interest.
"Please tell me, Lord Cao!" Yan Huaiyuan nodded and said.
"I have a book of accounts here." Cao Yikui shook the book of accounts in his hand, and then said, "It records your corruption after you arrived in Yangzhou, including your house, fields, antiques and jade, etc.."
Yan Huaiyuan was stunned. Who took out this thing? He was a little suspicious.
He was able to get that account book because he was a Yangzhou transshipment officer, but who could get his own?
"Take it to Lord Yan!" Cao Yikui didn't say anything nonsense and directly asked someone to hand the account book to Yan Huaiyuan.
Yan Huaiyuan took the booklet and looked at it, then was stunned. The booklet records it in detail. But who got this thing from where? You must know that accepting bribes is done secretly enough.
Basically, only both parties know, but it is difficult for others to know!
It took a lot of effort to get the booklet yourself, but it was not very complete at the same time. The book in front of you was really complete! After closing the booklet, Yan Huaiyuan asked, "I recognize all these, but I can ask, who sent it?"
A person flashed through Yan Huaiyuan's mind, and this person was Qi Heng.
If anyone knows these things better than himself, it can only be Qi Heng.
"You don't have to worry about this." Zhang Jing said on the side. In fact, Zhang Jing didn't know how this book came about, and he didn't care. Yang Huaide said that he had this book, so Zhang Jing took it.
Zhang Jing doesn't care whether the book is authentic or not, all he needs is an excuse.
The booklet is real, and the booklet is fake, and the booklet is fake, and the booklet is fake.
For Zhang Jing, these things are meaningless. He just came to arrest people. As long as he had a reason to arrest people, he would have been fine. If he hadn't been concerned about Cao Yikui, Zhang Jing would have sent people from the East Factory to arrest people long ago.
Be arrested in prison and tried, and the method of the East Factory cannot be interrogated.
"Our family asks you, what did you do for salt merchants?" Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask Cao Yikui's way of asking the case, and directly snatched the conversation and asked himself: "From the real call, the court may be lenient."
Yan Huaiyuan glanced at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang, if I tell the truth, can this life be saved?"
"It depends on the emperor's intention. At most, our family promises you to plead for you!" Zhang Jing looked at Yan Huaiyuan and said, "As long as you are willing to confess and testify against others, our family will plead for mercy to the emperor."
Listening to Zhang Jing's words, Cao Yikui frowned. Isn't this a bite?
"Then I will thank Eunuch Zhang!" Yan Huaiyuan nodded with a smile.
For Yan Huaiyuan, it was extremely precious to be able to win this point. Next, he told the story of the entire Yangzhou salt farm. Starting from the salt farm, the official salt turned into private salt, embezzled the imperial court's funds, raised the salt price, etc.
"Among these salt merchants, Qijia controls the most salt farms, so Qijia basically sells salt to other salt merchants."
Zhang Jing took a sip of tea, glanced at Cao Yikui, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, can I go and catch people?"
Cao Yikui frowned and looked at Zhang Jing. Since he arrived in Yangzhou, Zhang Jing had talked with him once, but he had not reached an agreement. His investigation of the case was not the same as his. He also wanted to investigate slowly, even from the officialdom in Yangzhou.
But Zhang Jing didn't think so. He thought he would arrest the person directly and then interrogate him.
The two almost started arguing, and the turn of things happened yesterday. Yesterday, Zhang Jing came to him with an account book and directly wanted to arrest Yan Huaiyuan. With physical evidence, Cao Yikui could not stop it.
Now listening to Zhang Jing's words, Cao Yikui knew that he was afraid he could not stop Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jingcai didn't care what Cao Yikui thought, he was here to investigate the case and kill people. The emperor explained clearly that he only cared about the emperor's imperial edict, and the others were not important. Now with Yan Huaiyuan as his testimony, he would be even more scruples.
"Search the house!"
Before Cao Yikui could answer him, Zhang Jing said directly to the little eunuch beside him. As he said that, he handed the booklet in his hand to the eunuch: "Follow the address above to search and arrest people, and send someone to encircle the Qi family for our family."
If the emperor wants you to die, you will die. Zhang Jing doesn’t care about any crime or reason.
Standing up, Zhang Jing shook the python robe on his body and glanced at Yan Huaiyuan: "Our family asks you, do you have any evidence of corruption among other Yangzhou officials?" Zhang Jing said that, and looked at Yan Huaiyuan with a slight squinting eyes.
"Yes!" Yan Huaiyuan nodded and said, "I have evidence of corruption in Yangzhou prefect Qin Hewen."
"Where is it?" Zhang Jing asked directly without saying a word.
Yan Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "In the Transportation Office, I put him in my concubine Yunniang!"
"Let's go to the Transportation Office!" Zhang Jing didn't look at Cao Yikui and walked out with his men. At the same time, he did not forget to add: "Protect this Yan Huaiyuan and don't let him die. If he dies, you can die too!"
The subordinates followed Zhang Jing quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, if there is any mistake, I will come and see you!"
Looking at Zhang Jing's back, Cao Yikui frowned. Is Dongchang going to break up a big case? This is not what he wants. What he needs is a smooth excess, but now he can't stop Zhang Jing.
