In this era, officials arrived at the yamen very early, and of course they got off work early. Generally, before dawn, the yamen handled affairs and rested after noon. Unless there were special affairs, there were only officials in the yamen in the afternoon.

Before dawn, Du Zhongxiao arrived at the official hall and had not handled official duties yet, so Chen Xiliang rushed in and said, "Jie Shuai, someone just went to the state yamen to report that it was the owner selling forbidden goods."

Du Zhongxiao didn't raise his head: "It's nothing for merchants to make money in business and sell prohibited goods, just punish them according to law."

Chen Xiliang said: "No, it's someone who smuggled flames and sulfur into Dangxiang!"

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao stood up suddenly and said, "What? This is not an ordinary forbidden object, this is military investment!"

Chen Xiliang said: "Yes. Zhang Tangying, the manager of the army, received the first notice and immediately went to the signing room to find me and asked me to play the festival coach."

Du Zhongxiao took a few steps after the case and turned around and said, "Order Zhang Tangying to send someone to arrest the prisoner immediately! Also, carry all the evidence back to the supervisor's court! This is a major case, not an ordinary smuggling of contraindicated items! By the way, close the city gate immediately and capture the people who came to buy goods by Dangxiang!"

Chen Xiliang said that he quickly left the official office and informed Zhang Tangying that the supervisory court was responsible for the lawsuit and the case was handled by Zhang Tangying.

Du Zhongxiao paced around the official hall. When he thought about it carefully, he was too laissez-faire about the business environment of Shengzhou. In the past three years, his main energy has been on military affairs. The state affairs were completely handed over to the Mu Caoguan. Many businessmen with backgrounds were not afraid. Shengzhou is a border area, and foreign trade targets are not only the Western Regions, but also the Khitan and Dangxiang. For these two countries, border smuggling is impossible to stop. However, this is the first time for smuggling military funds.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao ordered his soldiers to call Fu Bi, Zhang Sheng, Tian Jing and Li Fugui to the official hall. This is not a trivial matter. The next thing the court may have dealt with is Dang Xiang, smuggling military funds there, which is equivalent to colluding with the enemy.

After a while, several people arrived and took a seat in the official hall.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Just just now, Chen Xiliang came to report that someone in the city reported that someone smuggled sulfur and flames from Dangxiang. It's a big deal. These are not ordinary forbidden objects, but military funds, and their origins must be a problem."

Zhang Sheng said: "Dangxiang does not produce sulfur or flames in the country, and the court is not allowed to sell it there. Who is so bold?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I don't know yet. We didn't manage these things in the past and did not investigate them tightly. Someone always wants to try the profits. I will deal with this case strictly, so you don't have to worry. What I am worried about now is the supplies in the army. Although the management is strict, it is inevitable that some people will try it out for the sake of money. From today on, the army will strictly investigate various military funds! Li Fugui, you are the one who manages the military funds of Hequ Road. You don't have to participate this time, but you will just take a look at it. At the same time, I will go to the Western Regions and tell Zhang Ji to investigate them together!"

Several people said it was.

Fu Bi said: "Since the Jieshuai entered Hequ Road, the benefits of firearms are known to everyone in the world. This is a country's important weapon. In the past, the imperial court did not strictly control it, but it was just a momentary negligence. Now, the first person to report someone to smuggle, and it is likely that many of them have flowed out before. In addition to the strict investigation of the road, this matter should also be reported to the court and the world should be strictly guarded. It is better not to be allowed to sell it by the people in the future, and it will be sold by the mall."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "The deputy envoy is right. The changes have been too fast in recent years, and many policies cannot keep up. We must take good care of them. After investigating this case, I will report to the court to bring the flames and sulfur from all over the world to the mall and sell them."

Tian Jing said: "I heard that Dangxiang has cast a lot of cannons in recent years, but it is just a little gunpowder. Smuggling these things there will be trouble in the future."

Du Zhongxiao said: "There is no need to worry too much. Compared with the ones used in the military, there are not many of these things among the people. How many of them can be sold to Dangxiang? The reason for severe punishment is to show everyone that they can't do these things. Because when they occupied it, there were too few local natives. They were all Yingtianxiangjun from the mainland and were not strictly managed. Especially for merchants who came here to open shops from other places, the government provided various preferential treatments without strict supervision. They only knew that it was profitable here, but they did not know that many things could not be done."

Fu Bi said: "It's good to have such a thing, otherwise we won't be kept in the dark? We ordered the personnel of our state to investigate strictly. When we investigate the army, it's just that the Lord Yan defended the enemy. The Dangxiang cast a cannon and there was not enough gunpowder, which was not a big problem."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and discussed with everyone how to arrange the subsequent investigation.

In the early morning, Mr. Shen was sleeping at home, and suddenly dozens of soldiers rushed in and pulled him out of the bedroom. The concubine who was sleeping on the side was frightened and screamed, huddled in a corner of the bed, looking very frightened.

Zhang Tangying personally led the team, looked at Shen Yuanwai, and said in a deep voice: "Are you the owner of Yuelai Freight Farm? By the way, there is also Yuelai Store."

Mr. Shen nodded: "Yes, these are small industries under their name. I wonder what have you done?"

Zhang Tangying said: "What are you doing so much? Take it back to the yamen first! I sent someone to watch here, and no one is allowed to go out!"

The soldiers around him agreed. Zhang Tangying ordered someone to take Shen Yuanwai and quickly return to the supervisor's residence.

When he arrived at the Superintendent Court, Zhang Tangying was promoted to the hall and ordered Tan Silang to come up.

When he saw Tan Silang, Mr. Shen felt his head buzzing. This child was hired from Bingzhou and brought here, and he had been a five-year contract. He was quick to do his job, but he was not easy to manage and often caused many troubles. Mr. Shen was strict in his management, except for the paid wages, because he hated Tan Silang for making trouble, he did not usually give it to him. Last night, he asked for rewards from himself, but he didn't expect to sue him in the yamen.

Zhang Tangying pointed at Tan Silang and said, "This is your servant below. Have you admitted his mistake?"

Mr. Shen nodded: "Yes, this is a young man hired from Bingzhou. He agreed to work with me for five years. When the time comes, he will give him travel expenses to go home. The slave Yilu is not allowed to sue the master, why did he sue me?"

Zhang Tangying said sternly: "On ordinary cases, slaves are not allowed to sue the master. However, this case is your private sale of prohibited goods abroad. This is strictly prohibited by the court! Sulfur and flames are all prohibited by the court. They are not allowed to be sold privately in Shengzhou City. You dare to sell them to Dangxiang!"

When Mr. Shen heard this, his face turned pale. These are not forbidden items in the mainland, but Shengzhou strictly prohibits them, but they sell them abroad. I am afraid that this time it cannot be lighter. Tan Silang cannot get a reward for money, but unexpectedly, he will report it.

At this time, the law does not allow the slave to sue the master, otherwise it will be severely punished, and the master's sin will not be punished. However, even if that is the case, it depends on what the master committed. For example, serious crimes such as pursuing great rebellion, or the master's ruling servant, etc., it is still allowed to sue the master. Moreover, since the founding of the country, there have been many cases where officials use slaves to sue the master and punish the master with serious crimes, and there are previous cases.

Zhang Tangying said: "A lot of flames and sulfur have already emerged in your Yuelai cargo yard. Moreover, Tan Silang admitted that you want to sell these goods to people from Dangxiang. Is this true?"

Chen Yuanwai hurriedly shouted injustice: "How could I know that the person who bought the goods was Dangxiang? This fact is wronged!"
