On the other side, Dr. Zhao was kneeling on the ground, with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Damn Ding Zixing, betray me, I won't let you go even if you are a ghost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit with a stick on the face. The pain was so painful that Doctor Zhao almost fainted.
"Please, let me go, I promise to keep my mouth shut, I won't say anything..."
Dr. Zhao was tortured until he was half dead, and the feeling of being near death made him extremely frightened.
"Only the dead are the safest!" As he said that, the masked man pulled out the knife and swung it down fiercely. Before the knife fell on Dr. Zhao, the guy actually fainted from fear.
...
When Zhu Jun woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Qin Yanru sat in front of the dressing table and drew her eyebrows as usual. Her waist was like an inverted gourd, which made people's hearts sway.
This woman understands men so well, her every frown and smile has great lethality.
These days, Zhu Jun also put a lot of effort into her.
Through the mirror, Qin Yanru saw Zhu Jun waking up, and hurriedly put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand and hurried over, "Master, you're awake!"
"Isn't it cold?" Zhu Jun asked.
Qin Yanru blushed and said, "The attic is very warm, so it's cool to wear something like this!"
"Is it hot?"
The silk, which was as thin as cicada wings and extremely smooth, was no match for her smooth skin.
Wherever Zhu Jun's fingers crossed, traces were immediately left.
This is Qin Yanru's excellence.
The body fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.
"Hot!" Qin Yanru bit her lip. She knew how lethal she was to men. The man in front of her was her future guarantee, so she worked hard to please him.
Zhu Jun smiled, stood up, walked to the window, opened it slightly, and waved to Qin Yanru, "Come here, enjoy the cool breeze, and take a look at the scenery!"
Then the two of them admired the scenery for half an hour, but the cool breeze couldn't blow away Qin Yanru's heat.
Zhu Jun felt refreshed.
After admiring the scenery, I had a bowl of ginseng soup, and then slowly began to enjoy the exquisite pastries.
At this moment, Shen Erbao came in to report on his work, "Your Highness, the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce has established a firm foothold, and all the merchants in Yangzhou City will come today.
Do you want to go and have a look? "
"No need, just do whatever you want." Zhu Jun held the Yingtian Literature Newspaper in his hand without even raising his eyelids. The newspaper also reported on the events in Yangzhou, and he was very careful about public opinion.
After Shen Erbao finished reporting his work, Xun Busan came in and said, "Your Highness, this is the confession that was obtained last night!"
Zhu Jun put down the newspaper and took the confession, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "These people are indeed related to Yangzhou officialdom. The people behind them are really these people."
Government officials and businessmen collude for money.
Officials and bandits collude for merit.
Sometimes, political opponents can also be eliminated.
Xun Busan said coldly: "Should we deal with those two bitches?"
"No need, give one copy of this confession to Duke Xin, and then give another copy to Zhou Li. We don't want to come forward and let them handle it."
"Isn't that giving away the credit?"
"Eating alone can easily make your stomach burst, do you understand?" Zhu Jun said: "Remove all the gangsters' dens mentioned in the confession, and inform Niu Wuliu that we can prepare to close the net!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xun Busan nodded and left quickly.
Soon, Xu Jinda received the confession. After reading the confession, Xu Jinda's face turned pale.
These two bastards really deserve to die.
However, now was not the time to get angry. He asked, "What are your instructions?"
"Your Highness doesn't care about this matter. What you do is your business. Your Highness will not interfere!" Xun Busan said.
Xu Jinda nodded. He knew that some things could not be hidden from Zhu Jun. The officialdom of Yangzhou was in decline. How could he let Doctor Zhao and Ding Zixing go?
However, he never thought that Zhu Jun's attack was related to the two of them.
How audacious!
Although they did not raise these bandits, Zhu Jun's position was exposed by these two dogs.
It broke the sky.
This time something big is really going to happen!
"Please Eunuch Xun tell His Highness the King of Wu that your subordinates will definitely deal with it strictly!"
"That couldn't be better!" Xun Busan nodded and left immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jinda called Chang Mao over. When Chang Mao learned about this, he was also furious, "You bitch, you deserve to die!"
"These two people have been controlled. You'd better capture them and torture them separately. Then they will be sent to the capital together with Tong Quan and others for His Majesty to deal with them!" Xu Jinda said: "The salt field must have been infiltrated as well. Now, we need to find out who’s inside!”
"Okay!" Chang Mao nodded. This is another big case, and it not only involves the people in eastern Zhejiang, but also the people in Huaixi.
After the explanation, Xu Jinda quickly came to the Shen family compound and asked to see Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun was holding a birdcage in his hand and teasing the parrot inside. He was sitting on the guardrail at the edge of the yard, with koi fish in the artificial lake below vying for food.
"Wei Chen has met His Highness King Wu!"
"My father-in-law is here, no need to be polite!" Zhu Jun handed the birdcage in his hand to the maidservant next to him. The maidservant carried the birdcage and left the yard obediently.
Xu Jinda looked at Zhu Jun with a lot of emotions in his heart. In the past, he was reluctant for his daughter to marry him, but now he realized that Zhu Jun had been hiding his clumsiness before. His intelligence, talents and methods were all first-class in the world.
He did not mince words and said directly: "Your Highness, those two people are dead, but can the other people in the salt field be treated leniently?
The interests of the Lianghuai Salt Farm are so great that they are dizzy..."
"This is the imperial court's big cake, how dare they get involved?" Zhu Jun held the fish food in his hand and sprinkled it into the water, "Today they dare to raise bandits, and tomorrow, they dare to support their own troops.
They say that it takes ten years for a scholar to rebel, but I think this is wrong. What does the father-in-law think? "
Xu Jinda took a deep breath. The pressure Zhu Jun put on him was not ordinary, "Kill the enemy leader and let the others go. They will definitely be grateful to His Highness!"
"Zhang Yue, you should actually know the situation here in Yangzhou." Zhu Jun said casually: "The thirty salt fields in Lianghuai and Huaihe River have long been divided up by nobles.
It is not a problem for the salt field to produce tens of millions of taels of salt a year, and it pays taxes to the court of 3 to 5 million taels. But how much silver did the court pay last year?
Today, if your family gets a few thousand taels, he gets tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even a million taels.
This does not include the hands of officials of all sizes in the salt field.
How much official salt is leaked as private salt? "
Xu Jinda was silent, and broke out in a cold sweat. After a long while, he said: "Your Majesty can see through things, can't it be that His Majesty can't see through it?"
Zhu Jun looked at him with a half-smile, "My father does take care of the old people who fight against him, but he didn't expect that these people are so bold!"
