With the opportunity to restart the trade route, Sichuan and Shu were of course happy. They immediately transferred the goods and were willing to sell them at a low price.

So the Guanzhong smuggling gang purchased Shu brocade, which had fallen sharply in Sichuan and Shu through its original relationship, and then sold it to the grassland nobles, which was a profit of several hundred%.

However, perhaps they were too excited. After a round trip, they missed their mistakes and were caught by the Skynet Army. Then the judicial branch of the local prefecture took action. Finally, the Guanzhong Provincial Justice Bureau personally took the lead and pulled it out and uprooted it.

This matter is of bad nature, involving seventy or eighty officials and more than 400 civilians. After learning about it, Su Yonglin was furious and directly ordered a thorough investigation to be investigated to the end, and all the related persons were found out, and he was seriously charged.

After the case review was completed, the three Judicial Departments held a meeting to examine the matter and then strictly tried it, and all the persons who violated the ban were executed. The rest were sentenced to public punishment according to the degree of participation, and the lightest one was sentenced to six years in prison.

Finally, the matter was reported to Su Yonglin by the Minister of the Ministry of Law, so that Su Yonglin learned that the positions of the person involved in this case were not too high, but the amount involved was very large.

I won’t talk about the real estate in their families, but the working capital is piled up like a mountain, mainly copper coins and iron coins, as well as paper money Jiaozi in Sichuan and Shu in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The case was of bad nature and was punished seriously. Su Yonglin then ordered the Guanzhong Border Defense Force to strengthen patrols in various Sichuan-Shu passages, strictly investigate smuggling, and cut off trade.

The Skynet Army spies operating in various places need to take full action to inform the relevant information and strive to launch a comprehensive attack on the smuggling gangs.

After the order was issued, the secret spies from all over the world took action and did make a lot of achievements.

Seven gangs of smuggling Shujin were found in Guanzhong, Hubei, Hunan and other places. They were taken away by judicial departments and troops in various places, and they also designed Sichuan and Shu caravans that cooperated with them, and also brought them to the caravans.

Not only did it gain a lot, it was probably a very fierce and effective blow to the entire Shujin smuggling situation.

Some private business travelers and illegal officials who were still active in the Ming Dynasty were punished and uprooted, and their social network was also cleaned up.

This was the case in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Jiangnan Kingdom. In the places where the Tianwang Army was active, more than a dozen smuggling gangs have been found in the past few months from Sichuan to Sichuan to sell Shu brocade to the southeast region, making high profits.

The Ming Dynasty officials informed the Jiangnan court several times, and the Jiangnan court also sent people to deal with it several times, but the efficiency was inefficient and the punishment was low, which made Su Yonglin feel that these guys were not working hard and deliberately worked hard.

It seems that in addition to Chen Gai, there are indeed a group of people within the Jiangnan court who are enjoying the high profits brought by Shu Jin.

So Su Yonglin personally issued an edict to reprimand Jiangnan king Zhao Dun and prime minister Chen and other important senior officials, ordering them to deal with the smuggling caravans that had been discovered within a time limit. If they could not do it, Mingguo would personally intervene and help them deal with it!

If you are not decent, then I will help you with decent!

Zhao Dun was a disabled person, so this edict was not given to Zhao Dun, but to Chen Ji. Chen Ji received Su Yonglin's edict and was immediately in a bad mood.

"He thought I didn't want it? I thought it better than anyone else! But the problem is that I can't move some people at all. Unless he comes in person, he can do it. If he forces me to do anything, what can I do?"

Chen Ji came to Zhang Shi, complained to him, and vented his dissatisfaction with Su Yonglin and Mingguo.

Zhang Feng let him complain and then made suggestions to him.

"It's obvious that Emperor Ming is unwilling to do some things. He hopes you can do them, but it's difficult for you to do them. Since that's the case, why not just give this to Mingguo to do it well. Didn't he say that if we can't handle it well, he will do it himself? Then let him do it."

Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with worry and hesitation.

"I'm not worried that they can't handle this matter. Once they intervene, they will definitely uproot this matter. But the problem is that although we are a vassal state of the Ming State, the treaties have not stated that the Ming State can intervene in the court to deal with our affairs directly, right?"

"I said I had never said it, but if Ming Dynasty really wanted to do this, we couldn't stop it at all. Although the agreement is now in black and white, the Republic of China really wanted to do something, and even the black and white could not stop them, right?"

Zhang Feng seemed helpless and said: "And it is obvious now that the group of people put you on the fire and made a lot of money by smuggling Shu Jin in private, but threw the charge of not respecting the orders of the state on your head, so that you could bear the reprimand of Emperor Ming. How unfair is this? Why should you take risks for them?"

Chen Qiao thought about it and felt that Zhang Xiao’s words made sense.

"Then, should Mingguo really do this matter yourself?"

"Who doesn't know the twists and turns in the belly of local officials?"

Zhang Feng said with an unhappy look: "The people in the court and the local people are absolutely in a mess. They are definitely making money here and there. During this period, they have made a lot of money, and they all have a lot of money, but they are suffering. We are trying hard to support the situation in Lin'an City.

This is too unfair. How could we be tired and exhausted here? Not only do they not help but also stab us in the back? We do things that are hard, tired and not profitable. They enjoy the food and drink spicy food. There is such a truth in the world?"

Zhang Shi's statement kept touching Chen Ji's heart, making Chen Ji even more dissatisfied with the guys in the court who took the blame to him.

You set up a big pot of meat and soup. After you finish all the food, you don’t wash the pot and just slam it on my head, causing me a lot of fishyness. Su Yonglin doesn’t cause trouble for the people, but just causes trouble for me. Anything that’s all my fault...

Is this true in the world?

The more Chen Gai thought about it, the more angry he became, the more wronged he felt. After thinking about it, the balance in his heart gradually tilted.

"What you said makes sense. This matter cannot be counted like this. The evil people should be handed over to the bigger evil people. Those guys want me to take responsibility, so don't even think about it!"

Chen Ji made a decision to ask Zhang Shi to contact Ming Guo and convey the relevant matters to Zhongdu.

This trade ban was promulgated by the Ming Dynasty, and Jiangnan State was followed up as a vassal state. Now there are big rats in the country, and the national ruler and the prime minister handle it improperly is a crime. The national ruler and the prime minister want to apologize to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and express their sincere apology.

However, Jiangnan is currently in a difficult situation and there are not enough people to do many things. It requires a lot of people to block trade. Jiangnan really cannot provide any manpower, so he hopes to second Mingguo professionals to assist in handling the case. After the matter is completed, he will thank him again.

Chen Qiao felt that of course, this matter could not be admitted in name but handed over to Mingguo for handling, which would be equivalent to giving up part of the judicial power and had a bad impact. Therefore, Chen Qiao felt that even if it was actually the case, he still had to do some homework in name.

The reason was that Jiangnanguo had insufficient staff to handle cases, and the Ming Dynasty invited his colleagues to assist in the handling, and then took Jiangnanguo as the leader, and the Ming Dynasty was just a cooperative role.

In fact, of course, it was all handed over to the Ming Kingdom, but at least in name a great leader from Jiangnan Kingdom had to handle the case.

Who will do it?

Zhang Feng volunteered to take the blame for Chen Bei.

If Chen wants to offend his own people, he will be punished with bad reputation. So Zhang Shi expressed his embarrassment that he was willing to do this, and he also said with great integrity that this is what he should do, and Chen should not give him any compensation.

It's not necessary at all.

Chen Qiao thought about it, and felt that he could not do anything like this, so he threw everything to Zhang Xiao.

On the one hand, I felt sorry for it and felt that Zhang Feng had taken the pot over and seemed unreasonable, and he seemed unkind.

On the one hand, I was also worried that the group of combat-capable subordinates behind Zhang Feng would feel that this matter was forced to do, which would have a bad impact on their reputation.

So after thinking for a while, he decided to appoint Zhang Shi's younger brother Zhang Chao to the court as the chief censor, and hand over the matter to Zhang Chao to handle it, and ask Zhang Shi not to handle the matter in person.
