Chapter 1524

In fact, Qi Heng used 800 soldiers to help Fan family expand their house. Of course, it can be big or small. If we don't investigate, we can think that nothing has happened. But Zhang Zhe broke the window paper and made a lot of trouble. This is no longer a small matter.

Tang Yin pondered for a long time and asked, "well, how much money did Qi Heng receive from the fan family?"

Zhang Zhe raised his head and took a deep look at Tang Yin. Youyou said: "flattering the fan family is the greatest benefit Qi Heng has received."

To please the fan family means to please fan min and 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 and private tools. Why did you order the Lieutenant's office to arrest fan Ju? What's wrong with him? "

"Qi Heng built a house for the fan family, so I should investigate the fan family. During the investigation, the minister also found that the fan family was secretly selling iron and salt behind the court. As the head of the fan family, fan Ju naturally wanted to take him to court. " Zhang Zhe said solemnly.

At that time, salt and iron were both profiteering profits and one of the important sources of a country's financial revenue. Only the imperial court could do salt and iron business, and any peddler was strictly prohibited from touching it. Once violated, there was no room for discussion, which was a death penalty.

Tang Yin could not help but take a breath. Did the fan family do salt and iron business secretly? How could he not have heard of it! He gazed 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's heart naturally knows that if there is no evidence, how dare you easily arrest people?"

After a pause, he said, "the fan family's sale of salt and iron was discovered by Lord Gu of the second lieutenant's house. If the king wants to know the details, he needs to summon Mr. Gu."

Tang Yin's eyes turned and said to a-san-a-si at the door: "immediately call Gu and rush into the palace to see me."

Without waiting for A-3 and A-4's consent, Zhang Zhe waved his hand and said, "Gu Chong is such a coward that he dares to investigate this matter. This case is investigated by Mr. Gu Chen."

Yes, yes, Zhang Zhe's words are not hard to hear, but they are also true. With Gu Chong's forward-looking personality, even if he finds out that there is something wrong with the fan family, he does not dare to touch it. He changed his words and said: "call Gu Chen!"

After ah San left, Tang Yin stood up and walked around 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 probably true.

What should I do? Kill fan Ju? Confiscate the fan family? Don't say that he can't pass fan min, not even himself!

If nothing happened, who would dare to manage the affairs of the fan family, and not everyone would dare to compete with the imperial court to do salt and iron business? Where does the financial revenue of windmills come from?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and the more he looked at Zhang Zhe, the more he did not defer. Some things should not be touched or not touched. It is better for us to touch them. If we touch them, we are sad.

Zhang Zhe does not care about the consequences and other people's difficulties. He only deals with them impartially and causes a big mess. Then there is nothing wrong with him. All the subsequent troubles have to be borne by himself.

But, how should oneself carry again.

Tang Yin felt that it was a hundred times more difficult to deal with the internal and external affairs and the hierarchical relations. No wonder fan min didn't come to see her. Her father would be sentenced to death. What can she say when she sees her? When they met, they were both embarrassed.

It's a mistake to stay in charge of politics in the imperial court. I shouldn't have transferred Qiu Zhen and Yuanji to Daxing at the beginning, but now it's too late to regret.

"I said," my lord Zhang Zhe, what do you want me to do with this? Did you kill your father-in-law? " Tang Yin was very angry and smiling. He looked at Zhang Zhe happily and asked.

"The king is the king of a country, and his every move attracts the attention of the public. If the king perverts the law for selfish ends and conceals and connives at him, he will be ridiculed by the people of China."

You also know that, which is exactly what makes him feel embarrassed. "You don't really want me to kill my wife's father, do you?" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Zhe hung his head and was speechless.

"What's the matter? Are you dumb? "

"Reply to the king, the minister is the imperial historian. He only investigates the illegal acts. As for the final decision, he will not be in charge of it, and he will not dare to talk about it!"

Bang! Tang Yinmeng kicked the table over, pointed down his head and angrily pointed to Zhang Zhe. He almost roared: "this is your most hateful place!"

Zhang Zhe's kneeling on the ground was also shocked. He lowered his head and whispered, "if the king thinks that the minister is guilty, please give the king's order to investigate and deal with the minister!"

"You think I dare not? When I don't have you, I can't do it? " Tang Yin is so angry that he wants to grab the table and smash Zhang Zhe's head.

"I dare not!"

"I don't think there's anything you dare not do." Zhang yinzhe's gaze is so smooth that he can't breathe too much.Ah Si walked into the study carefully, moved back the desk and table that Tang Yin had just kicked, put it back, and picked up the memorials scattered on the ground one by one.

Tang Yin raised his hand and knocked on his forehead. He walked back and forth in the room. He thought for a long time. He said to ah Si, "don't clean up. Call Zongyuan. Let Zongyuan enter the palace immediately. Go!"

He has no way out now. He has not got Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, so he can only find Zongyuan to discuss this matter. In Tang Yin's mind, Zong Yuan's ability and handling skills are not as good as Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, but they are almost there.

Zongyuan was in the palace at this time, in fan min's bedroom. He is the Shaofu, in charge of the financial affairs and all the income and expenditure of the Wang family. He has frequent contacts with fan min. This time, such a big thing happened to the fan family. The first person fan min thought of was Zongyuan.

Zongyuan was not surprised to learn that the king had been summoned, or that it had been expected by him. Before leaving fan min's bedroom, he did not forget to comfort him: "madam, although you can rest assured that the king is a person who values friendship, he will certainly not embarrass the abbot."

Fan min sighed softly and said, "I'm not worried about the king, but I'm afraid that some people will seize this matter and refuse to let it go easily."

Of course, Zong Yuan knew who she meant by some people. He turned his eyes, laughed and said, "no matter how big some people are, they are no bigger than the king. Madam, please feel at ease."

"The king is looking for Lord Zong at this time, which must be for this matter. I think that Lord Zong should know how to speak in front of the king." Fan min walked up to Zong Yuan with a smile. He looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked with a smile.

Zongyuan heart first shock, busy arch hand way: "micro minister understand."

"Yes! Go ahead! I'm waiting for your good news Fan min waved her hand gently.

"I'll leave you!" Zongyuan bowed out of fan min's bedroom and walked out of the way. He raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Among Tang Yin's wives, fan min is the most intriguing. She was born in a wealthy family with a keen mind and deep city government. Even Zongyuan was afraid of her.

Soon, Zongyuan came to the study and kowtowed to Tang Yin. Seeing Zongyuan, Tang Yin's gloomy face was relieved. After he sat down, he asked with a smile: "I heard you just came from Lady Wan'an? What are you talking about? "

"Ah, reply to the king, Wei Chen just took this month's account book to show his wife." Zong Yuan had been prepared, but he didn't think about it. He blurted out and answered.

"Just accounts?"

"You should have heard of the changes in Mrs. Wan'an's family?" Tang Yin drank tea without expression, and said slowly, "Fan family has no royal law. He even sells salt and iron privately. Lord Zhang suggests that the king should be severely punished. Zongyuan, what do you mean?"

Zhang Zhe, sitting on one side, drooped his head and said nothing. Zong Yuan was grinning secretly. How should I answer this question? The implication of severe punishment is to kill fan Ju. If not, it is to bend the law for selfish ends.

He turned his mind and his eyes kept turning. He thought about what the king wanted to hear and how he could explain the answer reasonably.

After pondering for a long time, Zong Yuan said with a smile: "I think what Mr. Zhang said is very true. This matter can never be tolerated, and it must be severely punished."

Seeing that Tang Yin's face was almost black, Zong Yuan went on: "of course, it's right to be strict with law and discipline, but we can't kill innocent people by mistake. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. The fan family has a great cause. It's normal to have one or two scum. It's OK for the king to kill anyone who does something wrong, but we can't implicate the innocent! "

Zong Yuan was right, but those who had a heart could understand it. He meant to find several people from the fan family to take the blame.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and gazed at Zong Yuan. He asked suspiciously, "do you think that you can stop all the people in this way? Can you convince the public? "

"Of course not!" Zong Yuan zhengse said: "even if it is severely punished those who are obsessed with greed for illegal laws, but the fan family is also responsible for the adverse supervision and should be punished together. According to Wei Chen's calculation, the fan family's annual income is close to 12 million taels of silver. The king can punish the fan family's three-year earnings, that is, 30 million liang of silver. In this way, he can not only punish them, but also make an example of others, and also fill the national treasury. It can be said that it is a policy of killing two birds with one stone. "

Listen, what is a good minister? This is a good minister! In Tang Yin's view, a good minister is not to find out the problem, the key is to be able to solve the problem.

Zongyuan's method is the best one. If you kill a few Fan family members and issue a huge fine, you can warn the fan family and make them restrain their behavior in the future. At the same time, you can make it not too difficult for you to do it on fan min's side. You can have the best of both worlds.

Tang Yin's face, which was about to be a gloomy day, finally showed a smile. He leaned back, and at the same time, he let out a long breath. He asked again, "Zongyuan, how do you deal with the Qiheng case?"
