The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 493 Official Shake (2)

The conflict between Lin Ruhai and the Yangzhou salt merchants is nothing more than taxation.

As long as the salt merchants obediently pay taxes according to the regulations and stop selling private salt, there is no reason for patrolling the salt censor's yamen to deal with them.

Now that the Zhao family is under execution, the rest of the salt merchants must be terrified, and they will naturally reluctantly spend a large sum of money for taxation.

As for the contribution to the forces behind them and the government at all levels, these salt merchants will still not stop.

Because even so, the money in their hands will never be less.

That being the case, the salt merchants looked forward and backward, and never dared to act arrogantly again, but paid tribute taxes obediently.

Since they can be as well-behaved as the third grandson, why does Lin Ruhai continue to kill?
But Li Kangda naturally wouldn't confuse with his boss, he smiled slightly, and said: "What Gao Zhifu said is very true, a mere Gusu Lin Ruhai, who occasionally won the Sacred Heart, is not prudent in his actions, sometimes radical and sometimes conservative, regardless of vision and courage. compared to you!"

Gao Liangyu stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

At this time, Hedao was guarding Qianhu's mansion, and Qianhu Zhang Yunhong was smiling and playing chess with Caobiao Qianhu Han Zaikuan there.

Yes, some time ago, they still had conflicts with each other due to certain jurisdictions, resulting in their sons fighting each other.

But now the situation in Yangzhou City has changed drastically. The two people have long been secretly contacted and shook hands to make peace.

Secretly, they also teamed up to clean up the involvement with the salt merchants. hanxion
It's just that his sons haven't passed that hurdle yet, and they each stood at the side of their father and lowered their heads, staring at each other.

A chess piece fell from Zhang Yunhong's hand, and the servant next to him took the tea from his hand, and said to Han Zaikuan, "Brother Han, in your opinion, will Lin Ruhai choose to give up at this time?"

As a thousand households, they are military officers of the fifth rank. If they want to discuss this matter, they will naturally talk about Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt and censor of the seventh rank.

Han Zaikuan paused slightly and chuckled: "Brother Zhang really thinks highly of me. I am a martial artist, so he understands the thoughts of the Lin family. However, the matter of patrolling the Salt Censor's Yamen is beyond the reach of Lin Ruhai. We are in charge of the river." To ensure safety, the only way to ensure smooth water transportation is to have nothing to do with the salt merchants."

What he said this time is really righteous and impeccable, no one can fault it.

What he said was not only Zhang Yunhong showing admiration, but Zhang Heqing and Han Xiaozhong also pricked up their ears.

The dandy yamen are not blindly playful, but also have a heart, and they all know that if they don't accept their father's connections and influence, they will grow up sooner or later, and they will fall into the ditch sooner or later.

Especially what happened today, they all knew that the one who was doing the job was Chen Zhao, who was about the same age as them. He was so majestic, but they could only act like eagles and lackeys. It was so irritating that people were so different from each other!

Both of them have met Chen Zhao's, know that this man has undue courage, and seem to have heard that he is quite literary, but after all, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he must be an errand in Lin Ruhai's hands. Why did he behave like this today? Like two eyes?
Sure enough, Zhang Yunhong here smiled faintly: "Brother Han is trying to judge me. This Lin Ruhai doesn't even give the face of the Supreme Emperor, and resolutely wiped out the Zhao family. Do you think it's because he has a heart of loyalty to the emperor? What's more important is his hand There is a steel knife that suits your heart!"

"You mean that Chen Zhao?"

Zhang Yunhong said: "Brother Han must have obtained detailed information about today's incident, so let me ask you, can Lin Yushi make a group of Yan Ding become fierce soldiers who dare to face the mob in just two months?"

Han Zaikuan shook his head.

Lin Ruhai is a literati, and he only cares about strategy, and he has to rely on his left and right hands to manage his subordinates.

"Then, the big trees outside the Yushi Xunyan's yamen suddenly fell one after another, preventing the mob from escaping. Do you think Yushi Lin can think about it in advance?"

Han Zaikuan continued to shake his head.

Then he looked at Zhang Yunhong: "Brother Zhang, you mean that this Chen Zhao has extraordinary skills and is the core of this operation?"

Zhang Yunhong nodded and said: "That's right, this son is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has practiced such a superb and invincible miraculous skill, smashing Cao Biao's iron shield with one punch, is this what the young master has seen with his own eyes?"

Han Zaikuan glanced at his son Han Xiaozhong, then turned to Zhang Yunhong and said, "Not bad!"

Zhang Yunhong said: "In the past two months, Lin Yushi has been a good dancer in the officialdom, Chen inspectors have been encircling and suppressing private salt, forcing those salt merchants to retreat step by step, and forcing everyone in the officialdom to dare not confront him. Next Only the Zhao family took advantage of the conflict between your family and ours to launch a tentative attack, if Chen Zhao didn’t have such supernatural powers, do you think it would have ended today?”

"Of course not."

Zhang Yunhong said: "This Chen Zhao has the courage to be undeserved, and he also has decisive means. In addition, he has already won the election. If today's matter is heard by the emperor, he must be in the emperor's heart. If it is a high school in the palace examination, just grab it Opportunity will definitely lead to the sky. You and I have worked hard for half our lives, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, it is not worth mentioning!"

Han Zaikuan was silent.

Of course he could hear Zhang Yunhong's deep meaning, if his two thousand households defected to Chen Zhao, or let his own son follow Chen Zhao, and the two of them supported behind them, the day when Chen Zhao's Qingyun went straight up, it would be the next level between his two families hour.

Zhang Yunhong chuckled, put down the teacup in his hand, grabbed a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, saying: "As the saying goes, no regrets, when the four kings and eight princes saw the Taizu Qianlong in the Yuan, they followed him with all their strength, and thus the prosperity of the family is what it is today. When the Emperor Taishang visited the south, Zhao Shanhe spent all his family property, and then he prospered for decades, luxurious and extravagant, these are all ready-made examples."

Han Zaikuan couldn't help but nodded again and again.

Zhang Heqing and Han Xiaozhong looked at each other, with expressions of shock and admiration on their faces.

Thinking of Chen Zhao's performance outside the Ruyun Pavilion that day, the two of them couldn't help but feel emotional when they thought that they were already doing business, but they were still being playboys.

Perhaps following such a hero, the future of the two of us will surpass that of my father is unknown.

Seeing the reaction of the two young men, Zhang Yunhong smiled at Han Zaikuan and said, "Haha, brother Han, if you make a mistake in this move, I will kill this big dragon!"

On the same day, Zhang Yunhong, a thousand garrison households in Heying, and Han Zaikuan, a thousand households in Yangzhou Caobiao, jointly visited Lin Ruhai, announcing that the Heying garrison, Yangzhou Caobiao Association and the patrolling salt censor yamen would work together to curb official salt smuggling.

And his two yamen from thousands of households were also very interested in Chen Zhao's errands, and they clamored that they were willing to follow around and be a free helper in order to increase their knowledge, and not to be a yamen who just eats and waits to die.

When the news came out, the officialdom in Yangzhou was shaken.

Even the magistrate of Yangzhou, as well as the Governor of Liangjiang, the chief envoy, and the procuratorate in Jinling were shocked to find that at this moment, they no longer had any official means to deal with the Yangzhou patrol salt censor's yamen.

And Chen Zhao's name completely shocked Liangjiang's official circles.
