The account books at his home have been found by Jia Hui, and An Chengren is no longer as tough as before.
After Jia Hui was severely punished once, he no longer had the willpower to prefer death to death, so he began to tell everything he knew.
Jia Hui then compared the account books with the confessions one by one, and learned a lot.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, it's time to arrest someone!"
Su Zihe and Jia Hui sent letters to Moling Pass, and soldiers from the Jiangnan Camp began to go to various places to pick up people.
Some private salt dealers still wanted to resist desperately, but in front of the large number of officers and soldiers, they had no ability to resist.
Within half a month, all the families involved in the salt smuggling case were arrested and brought to justice.
The private salt dealers throughout Jiangnan Province fled to death and never dared to stay in Jiangnan territory again.
There were a total of forty-six salt merchants who had colluded with private salt dealers. At this time, they were all in jail regretting their original decision.
What I regret the most is that the Li family and the Zhao family, the eight major salt merchants, originally had millions of dollars in wealth, but now they were completely ruined because of their greed.
On this day, the Jiangnan Embroidered Guards came from Jinling, indicating that it would be the turn of those officials who wanted to seek asylum for the private salt.
Although there were not many people, people from the Jiangnan camp could not be allowed to take action anymore, so Jia Hui called the Xiu Yiwei over.
After showing him Emperor Taichang's imperial edict, Qiu Shengyan, commander of Jiangnan Xiuyi Guards, also expressed his full cooperation.
Just as the two sides were discussing where to start, the soldiers came in and reported that Fu Jiangcheng, the governor of Jiangnan, had arrived.
It seems that the matter of copying and inspecting officials still needs to be discussed with the Governor of Jiangnan!
"Uncle Zhenwu, he has the King's Order chess and cards, and you have His Majesty's imperial edict and the Emperor's Sword. Your official position is small, so I won't get involved in this matter!"
When he heard Fu Jiangcheng's arrival, Qiu Shengyan didn't know that he was here for officials from Jiangnan, so he quickly handed the list to Jia Hui and stepped aside.
Seeing this situation, Jia Hui couldn't force it, so he came outside the Yamen and prepared to welcome Fu Jiangcheng.
"It turns out it's Fu Dutai who's here. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you!"
"Uncle Zhenwu, you're too polite. I should apologize for coming here uninvited!"
"Please come in!"
Welcoming Fu Jiangcheng into the hall, and after everyone took their seats, Jia Hui smiled at him and asked:
"Fu Dutai has many things to do every day. I wonder what advice I can give you here today?"
Fu Jiangcheng didn't show off and answered:
"To be honest, Uncle Zhenwu, I came here recently just for the Jiangnan officialdom!"
"I heard that Zhenwu Bo thoroughly investigated the Jiangnan salt smuggling case. Now the evidence is conclusive and everyone has been arrested?"
Jia Hui nodded when he heard this and said:
"All the major criminals have been arrested, leaving only the government officials who facilitated the private salt dealers. As long as they are all arrested, the rest will be much easier!"
"Uncle Zhenwu, in my opinion, this matter should be over at this time. So many people have died and so many houses have been confiscated, which has caused panic in all the houses in the south of the Yangtze River. Uncle Zhenwu doesn't think it was handled well." Have you passed?"
Hearing that Jia Hui really wanted to attack Jiangnan's officialdom again, Fu Jiangcheng's tone suddenly became serious.
"What Fu Dutai said is over the top, right? I am just arresting people related to illegal salt, so you think it is over the top. If I are to strictly investigate officials who accept bribes from salt merchants, I am afraid that all the officials in Jiangnan will be overstepped." , very few people can survive!"
"You..., even if the court wants to punish them, they will still have to go through three trials. What do you mean by letting Xiuyiwei take action directly?"
Hearing what Jia Hui said, Fu Jiangcheng immediately glared at him.
When Jia Hui heard this, he glanced coldly at Qiu Shengyan who was standing aside. Qiu Shengyan was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Jia Hui's cold eyes.
"Fu Dutai, I have His Majesty's decree, allowing me to act expediently. Fu Dutai does not need to use the court rules to pressure me. You should also know why I am here. If it weren't for the audacity of these salt merchants to resist the salt tax." , this governor will not come here, as the governor of Jiangnan, don’t you have no responsibility for this matter?"
"Hmph! Although I am the governor of Jiangnan, the salt tax in Jiangnan is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. What does it have to do with me?"
"What about the smuggling of salt in Jiangnan? Isn't it also under the control of Fu Dutai?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Jiangcheng suddenly became speechless.
"Uncle Zhenwu, I don't care how you act, but Jiangnan is under my jurisdiction, and you will never be allowed to act recklessly and disrupt the officialdom of Jiangnan!"
Seeing that he couldn't make it, Fu Jiangcheng started to act rogue.
But who was Jia Hui? How could he be allowed to mess around here? So he said coldly to Fu Jiangcheng:
"Regarding this matter, I have made up my mind. Fu Dutai should think about how to explain the private salt to the court. I am busy with official duties, so I will not keep you! Wang Min, see you off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Min came to Fu Jiangcheng and drove him out.
"Jia Hui, you are rude! You are rude!"
Seeing Wang Min pushing and pulling him out, the guards around him were no match for Jia Hui's personal soldiers. Fu Jiangcheng couldn't help but loudly scolded Jia Hui for being ungrateful and disrespectful to officials.
"Dutai, are you okay?"
As soon as he left the Yamen, Wu Gui, the general of Supervisory Biao Camp, stepped forward to assist Fu Jiangcheng.
Fu Jiangcheng looked at the soldiers of the Supervisory Biao Camp beside him and suddenly had an idea.
"Wu Gui, go to the outside of the city and bring in the Governor's Biao Camp and raise the King's Order Flag. I will be guarding here today. Let's see who dares to go out!"
By the time Jia Hui handed over the list of officials to Qiu Shengyan again, Fu Jiangcheng had already led troops into the city and surrounded the entire Yanyun Street.
When the news reached Jia Hui, Qiu Shengyan showed an awkward smile again and wanted to return the list to Jia Hui again.
But Jia Hui was also angry about this. How could he give Qiu Shengyan any face? He said coldly:
"Even Commander-in-Chief Xiuyiwei Chen Feng doesn't dare to refute my face twice. Commander Qiu, don't you think I'm easy to talk to?"
Looking at Jia Hui, who was full of murderous intent, Qiu Shengyan realized that Jia Hui was not the imperial envoy in the past, but the commander-in-chief of the army and the uncle of the imperial dynasty.
"Uncle, I know I'm guilty, I'm ready now, I'm ready now!"
Then Jia Hui came outside with his soldiers, who were surrounded by Fu Jiangcheng's Supervisory Biao Battalion.
The Ranger Battalion also surrounded the Yanyun Yamen, confronting the Dubiao Battalion with guns.
The Jiangnan soldiers led by Zhuo Yuan also arrived, but they did not come over and just watched the battle from the sidelines!
"What does Fu Dutai mean?"
Arriving in front of the formation, Jia Hui asked Fu Jiangcheng in a deep voice.
"Uncle Zhenwu, your majesty allows you to act expediently, but as the governor of Jiangnan, I will never stand by and watch you do such nonsense. If you want to arrest someone, you can just bring the official document from the Ministry of Punishment, and I will never stop you!"
Speaking of which, looking at the murderous Ranger Battalion soldiers, Fu Jiangcheng continued:
"You have His Majesty's will, and I also have the King's flag. You will never be allowed to act like this!"
It seems that Fu Jiangcheng saw that the combat power of his Dubiao Battalion and Jia Hui's Ranger Battalion were too different, so he specially emphasized that he had the royal order flag to prevent Jia Hui from really attacking him.
When the soldiers of Dubiao Camp heard their admiral's words, they also put away their fear and began to become more confident.
