"Are these the county magistrate and county captain of your government office?"
Li Shimin asked calmly.
Gao Ting accompanied Xiao Xing, nodding repeatedly with an embarrassed look on his face, pretending to say good things for them.
"Maybe they work too hard..."
Li Shimin ignored him.
Naturally, he knew exactly what this bitch was thinking, but he didn't care about it. As long as he is willing to do things, dares to do things, and is able to do things, he is not afraid that his ministers will have their own little ideas.
Baiqisi helped secretly, and Gao Ting personally led the Thunder attack. Soon, several major salt shops were directly blocked. All the personnel were detained, and the shopkeeper was also brought over.
However, they soon discovered that none of the stewards they had just confessed to had disappeared.
Although the shopkeepers of these salt shops looked a little flustered, they did not feel guilty.
As the shopkeepers of the salt store, although they do not hold official positions, even those ordinary officials have to give three cents less favor when they meet them.
When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Where is the boss behind them? Even if they are tall and have no real evidence, they can't help themselves.
Blockade the salt shop and detain workers?
Then we have to ask our boss first if he agrees!
Several people came forward directly to negotiate with Gao Ting.
"Gaoming Mansion, what's your purpose of suddenly coming to our door, sealing off the store, seizing people, and bringing the old man and others here? Although the old man is humble, it's okay to feel a little wronged, but I'm afraid it's hard to explain to my boss..."
Song Laosheng, the shopkeeper of Wangji Salt Store, looked calm and calmly raised his hand to Gao Ting.
Gao Ting glanced at him and waved his big hand.
"Come on, take this piece of shit away for me, Palm Mouth!"
The head of the Wang family has been driven to death, and you are still missing a little shopkeeper!
If there are too many lice, don't be afraid of them. Just do whatever you want, that's just reckless!
He also saw that this was what His Majesty wanted. Otherwise, why would so many ministers have to catch him, a small county magistrate for ten thousand years?
Song Laosheng was a little confused.
"Gaomingfu, what do you want to do-"
What do you want to do?
Can't you understand this?
Of course it's Zhang Zui.
With a crackling sound and a slap in the face, Song Laosheng immediately became honest.
Otherwise, this person is a bitch.
"Give you a chance to tell me honestly, who instigated the salt poisoning case——"
Although super hypnosis is very useful, the method is too weird and can easily be questioned and attacked by people. If possible, Li Shimin and Wang Zi'an do not want to rely too much on this.
After all, they knew what kind of power they were about to face.
Originally, Song Laosheng, who was already a little frightened after being beaten, immediately held his tongue and pushed back when he heard this question.
If you ask, you just don’t know!
really--
Although they had expected it, Li Shimin and Wang Zi'an were still slightly disappointed.
But this matter cannot be delayed, because Li Shimin knows that as long as the case is not solved immediately, the other party will soon launch a counterattack like a mountain and a tsunami.
After all, the salt I have today does come from Chengxi Mine Salt.
Now that something like this has happened, even if you try to convince the people that the mineral salts you sell are not poisonous, it is almost impossible.
"Giving everyone a last chance, is there anyone who is willing to take the initiative to stand up? I am here to assure you that as long as you are willing to take the initiative to stand up, you can be punished and let bygones be bygones..."
Wang Zi'an glanced at these shopkeepers and made a last-ditch effort.
As a result, everyone looked at him like a fool.
Come on, keep hypnotizing!
This time, he did not concentrate on hypnosis, but hypnotized them one by one in front of all the shopkeepers.
As a result, when the third question was asked, the shopkeeper who was watching from behind couldn't stand it anymore.
They all looked at Wang Zi'an in horror as if they were monsters.
Because, they found that as long as Wang Zian asked, those old opponents who were steady, shrewd, deep-minded, and very skillful in the past would vomit completely as if they had drunk the ecstasy soup.
Moreover, he would obediently sign and stamp the confession.
If there is one, there is no exception.
With a pop, Ding Gui, the shopkeeper of Cuiji Salt Shop, knelt down.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, I am willing to recruit——"
Ding Gui's actions were like the straw that broke the camel's back. The remaining shopkeepers suddenly knelt down, grabbing the ground with their heads, crying and clamoring to confess.
Anyway, all the struggles are in vain. If you don't confess quickly and make meritorious service, will you wait to die in vain?
Things went smoothly, which made Gao Ting dumbfounded, and also stunned Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji who followed.
That's it?
The case was quickly concluded.
With the secret intervention of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, Gao Ting reported the results of the case, and the punishment and arrest documents from the court were immediately issued.
There are six salt companies involved, including the Wang family, the Cui family, the Lu family in Shandong, the Yuwen family in Guanlong, and the Hou Mo family. The most unexpected one is the family of Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County, the general manager of Huaizhou, General Wei. industry.
This was on the surface. Li Shimin didn't want to investigate whether there were other people involved behind the scenes.
Things must end here!
Both Li Shimin and the ministers in the DPRK maintained a tacit understanding. Even Wei Zheng, who did not rub sand in his eyes, remained silent rarely.
He is outspoken and dares to remonstrate, and hates evil as much as he hates it, but he is not stupid, and his view of the overall situation is no weaker than others.
Li Shimin cut through the mess quickly.
The Wang family who took the lead were responsible for the execution, ransacked their homes, and sent their children to the Jiaofang Department. The family stewards or descendants of the remaining five families who were in charge of the affairs of the salt industry were given a hundred sticks and were exiled for three thousand miles.
The shopkeepers of the salt shop who participated in the organization were executed. Those who voluntarily confessed would have their crimes reduced to one level. Several young men who were actually bribed were given a hundred sticks by Li Shimin and were sent to Mobei for military confinement from that day on.
However, most of these people will not survive.
I was already fighting almost to death, but in such a cold weather, it was hard to survive after such a tossing.
These people are actually what Li Shimin hates the most.
Because these people were originally his people, but they secretly betrayed him and almost put him in an extremely dangerous situation. According to his idea, he wanted to beat these people to death on the spot.
However, the fact that the chain store boy was hired by the emperor himself was too shocking, and the fact that he was stabbed in the back by one of his own people was too embarrassing. He could only save the country in this way.
Even so, the six families had to reluctantly part ways and each vomited two salt fields to calm Li Shimin's anger.
I can't do it without vomiting, but now Li Shimin has the handle.
Of course, Wang Zi'an didn't bother to care about these things.
For him, after catching the mastermind behind the scenes, his worries were over, and he returned to his boyhood.
The New Year is approaching, and I have already begun planning New Year gifts for my father-in-law and how to spend the first New Year in Datang. Of course, in my spare time, I cook delicious food, watch movies, tease my girl Su Su, and have fun that is not common to outsiders. If I get interested, I will occasionally go to Lu Deming's theater to direct the stage choreography I have made. drama.
Of course, the main focus was still on letting people take action secretly last time and take advantage of the situation——
Ahem, several properties acquired from the Wang family.
It’s time for this group of people from Datang to open their eyes and live a different Spring Festival!
