The waiting time is the longest, especially when the confidence is low, Mu Zhifu has completely woken up from the wine he drank just now, and is looking anxiously into the distance.

He had considered this situation in advance when transporting the cargo of this ship today, and he had also greeted the people in the Salt Affairs Department in advance, but because Tang Jian was arrested and Wu Lianzhang died tragically, the people in the Salt Affairs Department became timid Very well, I only agree that it depends on the situation. If they are not fully sure, they dare not take over.

Mu Zhifu comforted himself: The situation in front of him is quite clear, and His Highness the Third Highness does not appear to be suspicious, maybe he can be fooled by following the routine.

The people from the Salt Affairs Department were quickly brought in, and the person who came was the deputy envoy of transfer. This person was single-handedly picked up by Tang Jian back then, so it can be said that he was not shrewd.

After Tang Jian was transferred away, he thought his chance had come, but he didn't expect that the emperor quietly arranged for another person to take Tang Jian's place, which made him depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, after Tang Jian left, the relationship in Yunjincheng belonged to him, which allowed him to reap a lot of benefits.

Wu Lianzhang has been in trouble since he took office, and he has a lot to do with this group of uncooperative subordinates.

"Are you the deputy envoy?" Teng Yu looked down at the man kneeling below him.

The man is young, in his early thirties, and being able to get into this position shows that his ability is good.

This person is also the key target of Teng Yu'er's investigation. He knows everything about him, but he also knows that he is a person who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"It's the subordinate."

"Look at the salt carts here, are they all from your Salt Affairs Department?"

The man glanced back, and secretly scolded Mu Zhifu, blaming him for being blindfolded by silver, and dared to commit crimes against the wind.

He walked over to check it in a similar manner, and got several hints from Mu Zhifu's eyes, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, "His Royal Highness, the goods arrived today."

"Oh? The goods arrived today? But according to what I know, this ship arrived at the dock a few days ago, but no one has been unloading it."

"Your Highness does not know that the arrival date of the Salt Affairs Department is calculated by unloading the goods. Because no one can be arranged to deliver the goods, it has been delayed for a few days."

"Really? Isn't this the way from the pier to the Department of Salt Affairs? This black light is blind, can't you even see the road clearly?"

The man was nervous for a while, turned his mind several times, and replied: "That's right, the No. [-] salt warehouse is full, and the salt will be taken to the No. [-] salt warehouse. Although there is a detour, this road is wider. It's flatter and easier to walk on."

Teng Yu nodded, this explanation is quite reasonable.

He continued to ask: "Is this all that is going to be shipped tonight? How much salt is there in this boat?"

The man gritted his teeth. How could he know how much smuggled salt the surname Mu brought back this time? Although the other party had informed him, it was impossible for him to tell him this.

He quietly glanced at Mu Zhifu, and the other party was also dumbfounded. He always only takes care of the overall situation in such matters, and only knows that one ship will arrive tonight. As for how many cars to load, he doesn't know at all.

"What's the matter? Are you in charge of the salt affairs now? Don't you even know how much salt you got?" Teng Yu's tone changed, and he scolded: "Come here, get the account book of the Salt Affairs Department!"

"No, no need." The man raised his head and replied firmly and affirmatively: "Your Highness, forgive me, I just didn't realize it for a while, but this time I got all the salt, five carts and [-] catties, and there will be another batch arriving the day after tomorrow. Your Highness, do you want to go to the pier together?"

Teng Yu didn't say anything, but just looked at him fixedly, "You said that these salts are official salt, and they are going to be shipped to the Salt Affairs Department?"

"Yes!"

"You said these five carts are the only ones that will arrive tonight, and there is nothing else?"

"Yes!"

"Very good!" Teng Yu nodded with a smile and told him to get up. When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Teng Yu suddenly said: "The hall just got the news that there are five cars of salt being shipped out from the pier. Since you said that the official salt It’s all here, so the rest must be private salt!”

"Come on, follow the hall to take down those smugglers who traffic in private salt!" Teng Yu waved his hand, and hundreds of guards appeared around him, all of them were ready to go, with awe-inspiring morale.

Mu Zhifu wailed secretly, and even the Deputy Salt Envoy was sweating coldly. They all knew that they had fallen for it. This was definitely a game set up by the third prince. It is a pity that they got into the game so easily.

Did they underestimate the Third Prince too much, or did they overestimate themselves?

Neither of them was someone who would sit still, and their minds moved quickly. The first thing Mu Zhifu thought of was to completely abandon himself. Anyway, as long as he didn't admit it, the salt had nothing to do with him. At most, he was accused of ineffective supervision.

But when the remaining five carts of salt were intercepted, Zhifu Mu knew that he would not be exonerated so easily. The housekeeper who was standing next to him was being pressed to the ground by two guards, his hair disheveled, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Isn't this...?" Teng Yu turned to Mu Zhifu and looked at him suspiciously.

Muzhifu's fat body shook, and he bent down and said, "Your official...I don't know why the housekeeper of the mansion is here."

"I don't know?" Teng Yu sneered: "Mu Zhifu, don't you treat your highness as a three-year-old child? From just now to now, what you said is true? I really want to doubt whether you arranged these people !"

"I'm wronged, Your Highness... How can the lower official have the guts..."

"You don't have the guts? Why don't you explain what's going on?" Teng Yu threw a piece of letter paper on him.

This letter paper actually recorded the date and quantity of the ship's arrival, as well as the manpower he arranged and the route map, and even his signature and stamp.

This... Where did this come from?How could he put such a thing on the groom driving the carriage?

"No, it's impossible! Your Highness, someone must have framed it!" Mu Zhifu was so angry that he was sweating, "Your Highness, how could the official give such obvious evidence to a groom at will?"

"How does this hall know? Maybe you think it's safe, maybe you think this hall can't find out...Since you say that you are wronged, then this hall will give you three days. As long as you can find the real employer, this hall will believe that you are wronged! "

Teng Yu didn't seize this opportunity to get angry, but let everyone go, except that the five carts of salt were forcibly confiscated by him, and he didn't continue to investigate further.

Mu Zhifu's little heart jumped, instinctively feeling that this was abnormal, but the opportunity was right in front of him, and he had no reason to seek his own death.

Seeing that the magistrate Mu was fine, the Deputy Salt Envoy knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake, only saying that he had misremembered the number and did not admit anything else.

Teng Yu also simply dismissed him from his post on the grounds of being "incompetent", "It seems that the Salt Affairs Department cannot do without a regular official. I will present the emperor at the palace meeting and decide on a candidate as soon as possible. During this period, everything in the Salt Affairs Department will be handled by This hall and Mu Zhifu will co-host it!"

What?Muzhifu turned pale with shock, and then burst into joy, this is really... Lost sesame seeds and picked up watermelon, making a fortune.

"Our hall expects that a small butler can't do such a big business. Since Mu Zhifu said he didn't know why your butler appeared here, this hall will treat him as his own initiative, come here, take him down, and take him to the vegetable court tomorrow. The beheading in the market can be regarded as an explanation to the common people."

"My lord... help me... my lord..."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that the third prince didn't play cards according to common sense at all, how could anyone who was caught be chopped off without even having a trial.

Mu Zhifu's face was very ugly, he walked over and kicked the butler on the heart, "You thief, you dare to beg for mercy after doing such a foolish thing!... Don't worry, I will definitely treat you for the sake of your service for many years. Will take good care of your wife and children!"

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth showed a sneering arc, it was really a good show.

As soon as the housekeeper heard this, he knew what his lord meant. If he confessed, then his whole family would not be able to keep him. On the contrary, as long as the lord is fine, his family should be able to live a good life.

He gritted his teeth, put his heart on the line, and while no one else was paying attention, bit off his tongue, twitched a few times and stopped breathing.

Until he closed his eyes, he still felt that his death was worthwhile, and it was better than being decapitated.

"Not good...Your Highness, the prisoner bit his tongue and killed himself!" The two guards who suppressed him reported regretfully.

Teng Yu waved his hand indifferently, "If you die, you'll die, it's just a small fish anyway."

He looked around and said with a smile: "Everyone is tired after tossing around in the middle of the night, let's all go back."

A carriage was pulled to Teng Yu's side, and he got into the carriage holding Yin Xu's hand, raised the curtain and said to the magistrate Mu, "Master Mu, it's not that this hall doesn't show affection, it's really time is short, three days are limited, you You have to hurry up."

"Yes, the next official will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

"That's good!" Teng Yu nodded in satisfaction, and put down the curtain to block all kinds of eyes from outside.
