Chapter 637 It turned out that this was the case, and Qi Heng used 800 soldiers to help the Fan family expand their house. 78 No pop-up window update is fast Of course, this thing can be big or small, and if it is not investigated, it can be regarded as nothing happened, but Zhang Zhe just pierced this layer of window paper, causing a storm in the city, which is no longer a trivial matter.
Tang Yin pondered for a long time and asked, "Then, how much silver did Qi Heng receive from the Fan family?"
Zhang Zhe raised his head, glanced at Tang Yin deeply, and said quietly: "Pleasing the Fan family is the biggest benefit that Qi Heng has received. ” Pleasing the Fan family is equivalent to pleasing Fan Min and pleasing the king, even if the Fan family is willing to give Qi Heng silver, he will not accept it "It was Qi Heng who abused his power and used public weapons for private purposes, so why did you order the Lieutenant's Mansion to arrest Fan Ju and what was wrong with him?"
"Qi Heng is building a house for the Fan family, and the minister should investigate the Fan family.
During the investigation, the minister also found that the Fan family was secretly selling iron and salt behind the back of the imperial court, and Fan Ju, as the patriarch of the Fan family, naturally wanted to bring him to justice.
Zhang Zhe Zhengse said.
In that era, salt and iron were huge profits in the windfall profits, and they were one of the important sources of a country's financial revenue, and the salt and iron business could only be done by the imperial court, and it was strictly forbidden for any trader to touch, once it was violated, there was no room for negotiation at all, and it was a capital crime.
After Tang Yin heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, did the Fan family secretly do salt and iron business, why didn't he hear anything He stared at Zhang Zhe and asked: "Zhang Zhe, this is not a trivial matter, do you have evidence?"
Zhang Zhe said: "Fan Ju is the king's father-in-law, and the minister naturally knows in his heart, if there is no real evidence, how dare he easily arrest people" After a pause, he said again: "The Fan family's sale of salt and iron was found out by Lord Gu from the Lieutenant's Mansion, and if the king wants to know more, he needs to summon Lord Gu." ” Tang Yin's eyes rolled, and he said to Ah San and Ah Si at the door: "Immediately summon Gu Chong into the palace to see me." ” Without waiting for Ah San and Ah Si to agree, Zhang Zhe waved his hand and said: "Gu Chong is a person, he is as timid as a mouse, how can he dare to investigate this matter, this case is investigated by Lord Gu Chen." ” Yes, yes, although Zhang Zhe's words are ugly, they are also the truth, with Gu Chong's forward-looking character, even if he finds that there is a problem with the Fan family, he will not dare to touch it.
He changed his words and said, "Summoning Gu Chen" After Ah San left, Tang Yin stood up and walked back and forth in the room, Zhang Zhe was right, if there was no real evidence, he would not dare to arrest Fan Ju, it seems that this matter is true What should I do, kill Fan Ju, seal up the Fan family, don't say that he can't pass Fan Min's level, even he can't pass his own level If nothing happened, then who would dare to take care of the affairs of the Fan family in the future, and not everyone would dare to compete with the imperial court to do salt and iron business in the future The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he looked at Zhang Zhe, the more he was distracted.
There are some things that should not be touched at the root of the tooth, and if you don't touch them, everyone will be happy, and if you touch them, everyone will be sad.
Zhang Zhe does things, he doesn't care about the consequences at all, and he doesn't consider the difficulties of others, he will only deal with it impartially and cause a big mess, and then he will have nothing to do, and all the follow-up troubles will have to be borne by himself.
However, how should I carry it?
Dealing with these internal and external affairs, and the relationship between layers and layers, Tang Yin felt that it was a hundred times more difficult than commanding troops to fight.
No wonder Fan Min didn't come to see her, her father was going to be condemned to death, what could he say when he saw him, and what he could say to meet her, both of them were embarrassed.
It was really a mistake to keep Zhang Zhe in charge of the DPRK, he should not have transferred Qiu Zhen and Yuanji to Daxing in the first place, but now it is too late to regret it.
"I said, my Lord Zhang Zhe, do you plan to ask me to deal with this matter and kill my father-in-law" Tang Yin smiled angrily, looked at Zhang Zhe happily, and asked.
"The king is the king, and his every move is in the spotlight, and if the king bends the law for personal gain, shields and connives, he will be ridiculed by the people."
It turns out that you know this, and that's what makes him feel the most embarrassed.
"You don't really want this king to kill Madame's father, do you?"
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhang Zhe was speechless.
"What's the matter, dumb?"
"Returning to the king, the minister is the imperial historian, just investigate the illegal acts, as for the final decision, it is not under the control of the minister, and the minister does not dare to say much" Bang Tang Yin kicked the table over, lowered his head and pointed at Zhang Zhe angrily, almost roaring: "This is the most hateful thing about you" The table case rolled out a long distance, and the music on it was scattered all over the ground, Zhang Zhe's kneeling body on the ground was also shocked, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "If the king thinks that the minister is guilty, please ask the king to order the investigation of the minister."
"You don't dare to be me, if you don't have it by my side, you can't do it," Tang Yin was so angry that he wanted to grab the table and smash Zhang Zhe's head.
"Wechen don't dare" "I don't think there's anything you wouldn't dare."
Tang Yin stared at him, snorting and panting, but if he really wanted him to take Zhang Zhe, he was reluctant, after all, there were too many sleek people around him, and there were too few people like Zhang Zhe who were so straightforward and not long-sighted.
Ah Si cautiously walked into the study, brought back the table that Tang Yin had just kicked away, rearranged it, and picked up the pieces scattered on the ground one by one.
Tang Yin raised his hand and tapped his forehead, pacing back and forth in the room in annoyance, thinking for a long time, he said to Ah Si: "Don't clean up, summon Zong Yuan, let Zong Yuan enter the palace immediately, go quickly" He is out of line now, and there is no Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji around him, so he can only bring Zong Yuan over to discuss this matter.
In Tang Yin's mind, Zong Yuan's ability and skill in handling things are not as good as Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, but they are almost the same.
Jong Won was in the palace at this time, in Fan Min's dormitory.
He is a Shaofu, in charge of the Wang family's finances and all income and expenditure, and often has dealings with Fan Min.
This time there was such a big thing in the Fan family, and the first person Fan Min thought of was Zong Yuan.
Zong Yuan was not surprised to learn that the king had summoned him, or that this was already expected by him, before leaving Fan Min's bedroom, he did not forget to comfort him: "Madame, don't worry, the king is a person who values friendship, and he will definitely not embarrass the country." ” Fan Min sighed softly, and said quietly: "I'm not worried about the king, but afraid that some people will seize this matter and refuse to let go easily."
Of course, Zong Yuan knew who she was referring to, he rolled his eyes, smiled, and said, "No matter how big some people are, they can't be as big as the king, so Madame can rest assured."
"The king is looking for Master Zong at this time, it must be for this matter, this palace thinks, Lord Zong should know how to speak in front of the king."
Fan Min walked up to Zong Yuan with a smile, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with fine light, looked at him directly, and asked with a smile.
Zong Yuan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen understands. ” "Well, go to this palace, I'm waiting for your good news."
Fan Min waved his hand softly.
"Weichen retires" Zong Yuan bowed down and withdrew from Fan Min's dormitory, and walked out for a while, only then did he raise his sleeves and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
Among Tang Yin's ladies, the most scheming is Fan Min, who was born in a wealthy family, has a sharp mind, and the city government is deep, even Zong Yuan is afraid of her.
Soon, Zong Yuan came to the study and kowtowed to Tang Yin to say hello.
Seeing Zong Yuan, the gloom on Tang Yin's face finally eased a little, and after he sat down, he asked with a smile: "I heard that you just came over from Mrs.
Wan'an, what did you talk about?"
"Ah, back to the king, Weichen just took this month's account book and handed it to Mrs. for a look."

Zong Yuan had already prepared, but he didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"Just the accounts" "Yes, King."
"You should have heard about the changes in Mrs.
Wan'an's family" Tang Yin drank tea expressionlessly, and said slowly: "The Fan family has no king's law, and they actually resell salt and iron privately, Lord Zhang suggested that this king should be severely punished, Zong Yuan, what do you mean?"
Zhang Zhe, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and said nothing.
Zong Yuan grinned secretly, how to answer this question The implication of severe punishment is to kill Fan Ju, and if he is not severely punished, it is to bend the law for personal gain.
His mind was quick, and his eyes were spinning, considering what the answer the king wanted to hear, and how he could explain it in a reasonable way.
After pondering for a while, Zong Yuan smiled and said, "Weichen feels that what Lord Zhang said is extremely true, this matter must not be tolerated, and must be severely punished." ” Seeing that Tang Yin's face was about to darken, Zong Yuan continued: "Of course, it is appropriate to be strict with the law and discipline, but you can't kill innocents by mistake.
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, the Fan family has a big business, and it is normal for one or two scum to come out, whoever does something wrong, the king will kill him, but he can't implicate the innocent."
Zong Yuan said it righteously and strictly, but those who have a heart can understand it as soon as they hear it, and he means to find out a few people from the Fan family to take the blame.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, stared at Zong Yuan, and asked suspiciously, "Do you think that if you do this, you will be able to convince the people by blocking the mouths of Youyou?"
"Of course not," Zong Yuan Zhengse said: "Even if those profit-hungry lawless criminals are severely punished, the Fan family is also guilty of the responsibility of unfavorable supervision and should be punished together."
Wei Chen calculated that the Fan family's annual income was close to 12 million taels of silver, and the king could punish him for three years' winnings, that is, 30 million taels of silver. ” Listen, what is a good minister, this is called a good minister In Tang Yin's view, a good minister is not to find out the problem and finish it, the key is to be able to solve the problem.
Zong Yuan's method is a superior strategy.
Killing a few people from the Fan family and issuing a huge fine can not only warn the Fan family and make them restrain their behavior in the future, but also make it not too difficult for them to do it on Fan Min's side, the best of both worlds, good and good.
Tang Yin's face, which was about to be gloomy for a day, finally showed a smile, and he leaned back and let out a long sigh at the same time.
He asked again: "Zong Yuan, then how do you say that Qi Heng's case should be handled":
