Seeing Jia Hui looking at the documents carefully, An Chengren began to despair.
If he had been given more than half a month, he would have handled the accounts perfectly, but now there is still a lot of evidence that has not been destroyed, and Jia Hui has already arrived in Yangzhou.
It seems that today is doomed!
"Uncle, the governor of Yangzhou, Shen Xingye, has brought officials of all sizes to ask for an audience!"
At this time, some soldiers came in to report that Yangzhou officials were here.
"not see!"
Jia Hui said to the soldiers and continued to read the documents.
"Uncle, General Wang is back to give orders!"
Not long after, Wang Min walked in covered in blood and replied to Jia Hui:
"Reporting to uncle, all sixty-one masters and servants of An Mansion have been arrested! The general has sent people to scrape the ground three feet and search every corner of the house!"
After speaking, Wang Min saw Jia Hui looking at him and explained:
"Some people resisted at first, but after the general killed seven or eight people, they all became honest!"
Seeing the blood all over Wang Min, An Chengren suddenly became anxious and started shouting angrily at Jia Hui:
"Your Majesty, the court has not yet convicted me, why did you lead people to raid my An residence?"
Seeing that Jia Hui ignored him, An Chengren was furious and walked quickly towards Jia Hui, wanting to argue with Jia Hui.
However, he was blocked by the soldiers in front of Jia Hui. One used fists and the other used kicks. They beat An Chengren to the ground in two or three blows, wailing in pain.
After Jia Hui finished reading the documents on the table, he looked at An Chengren who had recovered and said coldly:
"You should wake up now that you are still useful, otherwise, you will have become a corpse!"
After saying that, Jia Hui also stood up, looked at the trembling officials at the side and asked:
"Who is Lu An, our fellow transshipment agent?"
"Go back...back...back to the superior officer, the lower official is here!"
"Deputy Envoy Yan Anke!"
"The official is here!"
"Judge Zeng Qi!" "Liu Ye will be promoted to the salt department!" "Don't do both at the same time!"...
As Jia Hui called out his name one by one, more than ten officials, large and small, stood up.
"Take it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers swarmed up and tied everyone up!
"Lin Hai, I will give you one hundred sergeants. You go to the Salt Transportation Department's treasury and seal up all the private salt!"
"promise!"
After Lin Ruhai left, Jia Huiyou sorted through all the documents on the desk, and then wrote a list of all the official salt warehouses and gave it to the soldiers to send to the Jiangnan camp and ask them to follow the list. The location was guarded by troops.
Then he looked at the arrested officials and said coldly:
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Press down and give each of them thirty more blows!"
Jia Hui is still waiting to finish the affairs in Jiangnan and return to Beijing to get married. He has no time to spend with them here.
When no one spoke, he immediately beat them all again.
After waiting to return again, everyone became more honest, and a few people began to speak up and told all the things about the private affair.
With the beating over and over again, except for An Chengren and the two officials, everyone else was like pouring beans, telling the salt production locations of some private salt dealers, which salt dealers were involved, and the officials and dignitaries involved behind the scenes. All said.
"Why, aren't you going to say it yet?"
In the end, only An Chengren was left clenching his teeth, no matter how hard Jia Hui tortured him, without saying a word.
It seems that the person who instigated him behind the scenes has quite a lot of background.
Seeing that An Chengren could no longer bear it, Jia Hui also knew to suspend the interrogation and arrange for someone to treat his injuries.
Just at this time, Lin Ruhai also came back, and the two of them sorted out all the illegal salt in the Yamen warehouse.
With this evidence, Jia Hui also eliminated the risk of arresting An Chengren.
"Now that the official business is over, I don't want to use the title uncle anymore. I heard that my aunt is ill. Is she feeling better recently?"
After handling official matters, Jia Hui also began to chat with Lin Ruhai about home affairs.
Lin Ruhai was not a pedantic person. Hearing what Jia Hui said, he also smiled and said:
"In that case, I will call you Brother Hui. Your aunt's disease is also the root cause of her illness when she gave birth to your cousin. She has not been cured for so many years, and she can only take medicine every day to survive!"
Speaking of Jia Min's health, Lin Ruhai also had a sad look on his face, and it was obvious that he had deep feelings for Jia Min.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't know how happy your aunt is when she heard that you came to Yangzhou. She even looks a lot better. Today she even made arrangements for the cook to contact us about the food in the north, saying that she would treat you well. Woolen cloth!"
"Then I would like to thank my aunt for her kindness. However, there are still official duties in Yangzhou now, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my nephew to go there. After the affairs in Yangzhou are settled in a few days, my nephew will definitely come to visit!"
Lin Ruhai also knew that it would be difficult for Jia Hui to go to the Lin Mansion before the official business in Yangzhou was completed, and expressed his understanding.
Then Jia Hui suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Ruhai:
"My nephew has been in Shenjing for a long time and doesn't know much about Yangzhou. I wonder how old my cousin is this year?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Hui strangely, but didn't think much about it and replied with a smile:
"She is ten years old this year, and it seems that her body has followed your aunt's footsteps. She has been taking medicine as a companion since childhood!"
"As expected!"
Jia Hui thought silently in his heart.
Ever since he knew Baoyu's age, he knew that this world was quite different from the world in the book.
Now that Daiyu is ten years old and Jia Min is still alive, it seems that there is indeed something different from the book.
I just don't know if there are any other differences.
The two chatted for a long time. When they knew it was getting dark, Lin Ruhai said goodbye and left Yanyun Yamen.
Jia Hui settled his temporary residence in Yanyun Yamen.
During this period, the Yangzhou magistrate came to invite Jia Hui to a banquet, but Jia Hui ordered someone to scold him, and then he became honest.
The next day, Jia Hui came to An's Mansion in person, knocked down all the rooms in An's Mansion, and dug three feet into the ground, finally finding the place where An Chengren hid his account books and letters.
Returning to Yanyun Yamen, An Chengren saw Jia Hui take out the account books and letters from his house, and immediately collapsed to the ground with a look of despair on his face.
"Hehehe, it turns out that you are waiting for Prince Yizhong to save you. I said you have such a strict mouth!"
Looking at the account books and letters in his hands, Jia Hui sneered.
"I just don't know if your loyalty will be reciprocated. You are a local official far away from Shenjing. You don't even know the situation in the capital, and you still dare to get involved. It seems that you really have a long life!"
Listening to Jia Hui's sneer, An Chengren lost his previous toughness and said to Jia Hui:
"Shangchai comes from the founding lineage of the country. Prince Yizhong is the orphan of the late crown prince. Why are you so unkind? The Li family and Zhao family and I are Prince Yizhong's moneybags. If you insist on going your own way today, you will be offended. Prince Yizhong, you will regret it too late in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
After listening to An Chengren's words, Jia Hui couldn't help laughing.
"Although King Yi Zhong is favored by the emperor, he is still the prince. Although the emperor rehabilitated the former prince, he did not restore his status as prince. However, he has only recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan in the past few years, and now he is the one doing the most high-profile things. , you actually think he can have the last laugh, you are so stupid!"
Think of the three princes and one county king in the court.
The three princes were figures who were killed in the battle for the heir, but now they all honestly dare not make any move.
He was a county prince who had just recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. He was so out of control in the court. I don’t know who gave Prince Yizhong the courage!
