Not long after, Han Yan entered the study.
thump!
Han Yan knelt directly on the ground, knelt with his head on the ground, and said loudly: "Han Yan, the sinner, pays homage to Lord Lin."
Lin Feng looked at Han Yan, who was Shen Quan's staff and also Shen Quan's confidant. Before, Han Yan took people to the Xie family to take over the Xie family. With his identity, Han Yan must know a lot of information about Shen Quan.
Lin Feng looked at Han Yan, but said nothing. It was precisely this situation that made Han Yan's heart suddenly feel empty, and he was extremely panicked.
die!
Probably not.
But he was Shen Quan's staff. If this matter spread, he would be completely useless. Who would dare to use him?
What's more, Han Yan has been following Shen Quan over the years, enjoying a wealthy life and a good life. After living such a life, Han Yan was extremely unwilling to suddenly fall into the dust.
Just like that, he took the initiative to ask for a meeting.
Firstly, he wanted to apologize, and secondly, he wanted to show his worth. He wanted to be Lin Feng's person.
Han Yan banged his head. After waiting for a long time, Lin Feng didn't say anything. Han Yan felt even more uneasy. However, he did not dare to speak or act rashly, so he could only maintain the posture of raising his buttocks and kowtow.
The whole person felt extremely uncomfortable.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Han Yan's forehead.
In the blink of an eye, his back was even more soaked. Even after kneeling for a long time, Han Yan's head was a little dizzy and his whole thoughts were a little confused.
Lin Feng waited for a while and said, "Han Yan!"
"exist!"
Han Yan immediately raised his head and answered.
Hope suddenly rose in his heart, and he looked at Lin Feng with deep expectation in his eyes.
Lin Feng said: "Why did you come to see me?"
Han Yan said directly: "Reporting to Lord Lin, Shen Quan has served as the governor of Liangzhou over the years and has been constantly grabbing profits. Over the years, Shen Quan has saved a lot of money. Many of these money have been sent back to Shen My hometown. Shen Quan also hid a lot in Guzang County."
"Shen Quan has a residence in Nancheng where he keeps money. I am responsible for this matter. According to the criminal's knowledge, the amount of silver hidden in Shen Quan's residence should not be less than 300,000 taels of silver, and there are about five Ten thousand taels of gold."
"This is Shen Quan's family background in Guzang County."
"In addition, Shen Quan also owns a lot of mansions and land in Guzang County. With the capture of Shen Quan's mansions and land, these accounts should be available."
Han Yan's voice rose slightly, and he bowed and said: "The sinner is willing to make meritorious service and help Lord Lin to take out all the money Shen Quan has hidden in Nancheng. Please accept it."
Lin Feng said: "If you are just trying to atone for your sins, this news is enough. If you want to be appointed by me, this news is far from enough."
Lin Feng had some guesses about Han Yan's intentions.
It's definitely not a simple apology.
If Han Yan leaves, no one will pursue anything. However, Han Yan took the initiative to come back because he wanted something.
Han Yan said again: "Master Lin, I have three more pieces of news to report."
"tell me the story.!"
Lin Feng was a little curious.
Three pieces of news came out of the mouth.
This is not simple.
Han Yanxun reported: "Shen Quan served as the governor of Liangzhou for nearly ten years. During this long period, he promoted many confidants. Among these people, some served as county magistrates and others as prefects. When it comes to Shen Quan's confidants, I have a detailed list, please read it."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
Lin Feng took it and read it through the letter. In fact, there were not many people involved, eight people in total.
Six of them were county magistrates and two were local prefects.
These are the more important people.
However, local governors were all transferred to other states to serve, not within Liangzhou. The two prefects seemed to have a relationship with Shen Quan, but in fact, when Shen Quan died, the relationship was gone.
Shen Quan's kindness completely disappeared.
After reading it, Lin Feng put it aside and continued: "This piece of news is of little use to me. If the rest of your news is also of this weight, then there is no need to say it, because it will not be of any use. .”
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I came to serve in Guzang County not for any political achievements, but just to pilot reforms in Guzang County. Official matters, as well as official rules and interests, have nothing to do with me."
"These people you mentioned are indeed Shen Quan's confidants. But will they stand up for Shen Quan?"
"impossible!"
"It is said that people leave after the tea is cold. What's more, Shen Quan died directly, and was executed for a crime. These people are eager to cut off their relationship with Shen Quan, how can they come to take revenge? So, this list, to me Not much use.”
Lin Feng's words were still suppressing.
He did it on purpose.
At this time, it was necessary to suppress Han Yan and make Han Yan reveal more information.
Han Yan looked a little uneasy, but continued: "Master Hou, the second news is that Shen Quan has a group of dead soldiers in Guzang County, who are his confidant dead soldiers specially trained by him. This group of people, I accidentally heard Shen Quan mention that there were hundreds of them, very ferocious."
"As for where these people are hiding, it is unknown. This time Shen Quan was suddenly captured. The villain believes that Shen Quan will definitely not be willing to be killed, and the news will definitely spread. Although he is in prison, It’s actually pretty easy to get the word out.”
"I think Shen Quan may arrange for someone to rob the prison, or he may rob the execution ground when Shen Quan is to be killed tomorrow."
Han Yan said: "This is Shen Quan's possible arrangement."
Lin Feng was a little surprised.
Shen Quan actually had such a back-up plan and quietly trained a dead soldier.
Lin Feng said: "Shen Quan trains dead men, why not in Guzang County?"
Han Yan said: "The first is to paralyze the Yang family and not let Yang Shanlong know, so that Yang Shanlong will not be jealous. The second is safety. The dead soldiers are arranged outside and are not easy to be discovered. Once Shen Quan wants to mobilize, this will be his trump card."
After a pause, Han Yan continued: "This time Shen Quan dealt with the Marquis because he was confident and believed that a memorial would definitely work, so he did not mobilize the dead soldiers. Of course, it was also because the Marquis was so powerful that it was difficult for the dead soldiers to fight. Kill the Marquis."
Lin Feng said: "You said that Shen Quan might have arranged for someone to rob the execution ground in order to escape, but his family members are still in Guzang County. These people have never been affected. Once Shen Quan escapes, his family will He will definitely be implicated, does he dare to take the big risk and escape?"
"He absolutely will."
Han Yan looked determined and said: "Shen Quan is extremely vicious, cunning and cruel. There is nothing a person like him can't do. You must know that in the past, the woman he once fell in love with for his son was actually Kill his son."
"Does the Marquis think this is something that a father can do?"
"It's just that over the years, Shen Quan has grown older and has less desire for women, so things like this have not happened. He even had a son who disobeyed him in the past, but was beaten directly by Shen Quan. Broken leg.”
"Here at Shen Quan, he comes first, and everything else comes later."
Lin Feng was even more surprised when he heard this.
This news is so explosive.
Unexpectedly, Shen Quan turned out to be such a cold and heartless person. It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its own children, but Shen Quan actually killed his own son.
It's so cruel and cold.
Han Yan continued: "Master Hou, so the villain is sure that Shen Quan will plan to escape. The simple truth is that if he dies, will his children live a good life? There will definitely not be the good life of the past. The most important thing is At this point, if Shen Quan is here, he can continue to have children and continue to live. If he is gone, everything will be gone."
Lin Feng nodded, approving Han Yan's analysis.
Not to mention, Han Yan does know Shen Quan.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "The second piece of news is of some value. What is the last piece of news?"
Han Yan said again: "Reporting to Lord Marquis, the third piece of news is that a salt well for collecting salt was discovered in the mountains on the northwest border of Guzang County. Da Qin is not like Qi or Jin in that it can rely on the sea to collect salt. Da Qin could only boil salt in salt lakes or dig wells to get salt."
"Such a place is limited after all. Therefore, Da Qin's salt has always been quite precious."
"On the northwest border of Guzang County, salt wells for extracting salt were found on Lianhua Mountain. As long as the wells are dug on a large scale, the wells can be dug to extract salt. Having salt wells will definitely benefit the country and the people, and it will also contribute to the great Qin Dynasty. of."
Han Yan said solemnly: "I think this matter will help the Marquis."
Lin Feng said directly: "Salt is indeed helpful to Da Qin, even very helpful. If there is such a good thing, I'm afraid Shen Quan has already arranged it. It shouldn't be easy to get salt, right?"
"Yes, the road to get salt is difficult."
Han Yan answered directly.
He admired in his heart that he was indeed Lin Feng. His reaction was so fast that he could make a clear decision in the blink of an eye.
Han Yan explained: "Since salt wells that can extract salt have been discovered, they must be dug in large numbers to extract salt. However, the time of discovery was actually at the beginning of the year. At that time, Shen Quan was very interested and wanted to visit the place."
"It just so happened that I heard that there is a Taoist temple in the mountains on the northwest border called Wulian Temple, which is very efficacious. Shen Quan asked to go to Wulian Temple to offer incense. We found a salt well in the Taoist temple."
"It's just that the place where Wulian Temple is located is located deep in the mountains. The mountain road to get there is not only steep, but also blocked by mountains."
"So even if it is discovered, it will be quite difficult to transport the salt out. As such, it has never been arranged. What I thought at that time was to wait for a while and think about ways to mine the salt wells."
Han Yan said: "This place can definitely extract salt on a large scale."
Lin Feng's heart suddenly moved.
Salt!
This is good stuff.
If a large amount of salt can be obtained, it will have an immeasurable effect on Guzang County and even Daqin.
The mountain road is difficult, this is not a problem.
As long as Lin Feng uses money, he can dig mountain roads and transport salt from the mountains.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Han Yan, are you really sure?"
Han Yan heard the expectation in Lin Feng's words and promised: "Master Lin, I swear to God. If the Wulian Temple area discovered by the villain and Shen Quan cannot collect salt in large quantities, the villain is willing to die. "
Lin Feng nodded, nodded and said: "As long as there are salt wells in Lianhua Mountain and we can extract salt in large quantities, I will accept you."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness."
Han Yan became excited inside.
What he had learned about Lin Feng before was that Lin Feng was a disciple of Xunzi, a native of the Xia Kingdom, and a martial arts master.
However, more information about Lin Feng is unknown. After what happened to Shen Quan this time, Han Yan completely understood that Lin Feng had unprecedented weight in the emperor's heart.
Have you ever seen a county magistrate carrying a tiger talisman for mobilizing troops given by the emperor?
Have you ever seen a county magistrate who would carry a sword given by the emperor and make the magistrate kill first and then show off?
In fact, the county magistrate also served as Yushi Zhongcheng, and also held the title of Marquis of Zhenguo.
This is unprecedented.
It can be foreseen that Lin Feng will surely prosper in Da Qin in the future. If he can follow Lin Feng, he will have the opportunity to become an official in the future, and he will also have the opportunity to truly enter the official career.
Lin Feng ordered: "Gao Xiaoyu."
"exist!"
Gao Xiaoyu immediately entered the room.
Lin Feng ordered: "Go and invite brother here, I have something to arrange."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu turned around and went down to inform. Not long after, Huan Suzhi entered. He noticed Han Yan, bowed his hands and said, "Master Hou."
Lin Feng said: "Brother, this man's name is Han Yan, and he is Shen Quan's confidant. He just reported that there is a Five Lotus Temple in Lianhua Mountain northwest of Guzang County, and a salt well was found in the Taoist temple. Wells can also be dug around to get salt.”
"Once a place like this can dig wells to collect salt water to boil salt, it will be of great help to Guzang County and Daqin. In addition, Han Yan reported the place where Shen Quan hid money in the city."
"I promised him that as long as the location of the salt well is determined and salt can be boiled on a large scale, I will accept him."
"This matter is serious and must be carefully considered. Brother, please go with him personally and transfer all Shen Quan's money in the city to the county government. Then, rush to the northwest mountains of Guzang County to investigate the situation of a salt well."
Lin Feng said: "If the situation of the salt wells in the mountains is true, then it is another development direction for Guzang County."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."
Huan Suzhi also knew the importance of salt.
This is a necessity of life, and it is also a scarce item. Rich families and powerful people have money and there is no shortage of salt. However, the local people are far from enough. The worst coarse salt they can eat is excellent.
If salt wells can be found in Guzang County, it will be a gift from God.
Huan Suzhi took Han Yan away, while Lin Feng was thinking about boiling salt. For Guzang County, this is a great thing. Lin Feng's mind changed and he thought about Shen Quan. Will Shen Quan arrange for someone to rob the prison, or arrange for someone to rob the execution ground tomorrow?
Or even, does Shen Quan have other arrangements?
Lin Feng still had to test this matter.
Lin Feng had a plan in mind, and immediately left the county government office with Gao Xiaoyu and went to the prison.
