The identities of the two princes Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao and the prince's son were very intimidating. After controlling all the officials in Yancheng, Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao came to Xu Yunyan happily.
"Master, should we conduct a surprise interrogation to see how many of them have connections to the salt farm?"
When Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan with burning eyes, waiting for Xu Yunyan's arrangements, Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"Your Highnesses, our task today is not to interrogate them first."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian became confused.
"Master, since we don't interrogate them, what's the point of controlling them? Are we going to wait for them to eat and drink freely under our hands without punishing them?"
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Chengdao also looked at Xu Yunyan with confusion, and Xu Yunyan said with a smile.
"The culprit is still in the salt field. We need to go to the salt field with thunderous force, control the salt field, and then conduct a surprise interrogation of the salt field officials to see how the salt field officials are acting so recklessly.
Only by seizing the evidence can we proceed to the next step, and then let them identify those who are implicated in them in the county and state capital, and even those in the court who are implicated in them. This is the correct answer. "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian suddenly realized.
"Master is Master, and what he said is right. So what should we do now to go to the salt field?"
"Yes, go to the salt field!"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian quickly resumed their proper costumes as princes and princes, and with their already-disguised guards, followed Xu Yunwan quickly toward the seaside salt field.
The saltworks officials who were domineering in the saltworks were eating and drinking there.
"It's such a beautiful life."
Although it is just past noon, they have been eating since morning, and it is a bit outrageous that they are still eating here.
Maybe even God couldn't stand it. Just when they were passing some delicacies to eat and drink here again, Xu Yunyan's team surrounded the entire salt field.
Standing outside the salt field, Xu Yunyan was a little surprised when he saw that the guards who were supposed to guard the salt field were missing.
"This seems to be too different from before, right?"
Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao also nodded, "Yes, yes, there used to be guards around the salt field. I heard Master explain it, but now I don't know where the guards have gone."
"Now that they have withdrawn the guards, it will provide us with greater convenience."
After Li Chengdao finished speaking, Xu Yunyan looked at Liu Xiaopeng who was following him and watching him waiting for orders.
"You lead people to go up and take down all the light and dark sentries. Even if there are no light and dark sentries anymore, then you can temporarily keep a vigil outside to prevent anyone in the salt field from running out. It's still the same thing. You can only No entry or exit allowed."
"Don't worry, General, I will definitely do a great job."
Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction and then looked to the other side, where Liu Ye was busy with his team.
Although Liu Ye, Liu Xiaopeng and others have made gains in the battle against Tuli, it is just that after reporting this to the court, the court has not yet issued an order. Now these guys are still captains and top soldiers.
"Come Liu Ye!"
Following Xu Yunyan's words, Liu Ye ran over in a hurry.
"What plans does the general have?"
"Take a few people to inspect the surroundings for me. Don't let us just come here. Some people want to enter the salt field but can't. After seeing us, they all ran away. You have to catch all the suspicious people."
Not long after Xu Yunyan made the arrangements, Liu Xiaopeng came to report again, "General, everything is ready."
"very good!"
After Xu Yunyan completed the task assigned to Liu Xiaopeng, he handed over to Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao.
"Your Highnesses, the matter has been settled, shall we go in?"
"Go in! Why don't you go in? I want to see what these corrupt officials have done to this salt farm that benefits the country and the people."
Following Li Chengdao's words, Li Chengqian drew out the sword from his waist and said, "All troops will follow me into the salt field."
Seeing this, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Your Highness doesn't dare to do anything casually. We don't know what's going on in this salt field yet. Maybe the officials in this salt field are dedicated to serving the public good, but it's just that the higher-ups are making it difficult for them."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian was a little unhappy, but he still put the sword in his hand into the scabbard.
"Master is right, but my disciple is obsessed with it."
But just after Xu Yunyan led them into the salt field, looking at the salt field in full swing in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"It's good that the salt farm doesn't affect normal operations."
But just as Xu Yunyan said this, a figure flashed out from among several bright and large tile-roofed houses in the distance, carrying a few plates of food and walking quickly towards the opposite large tile-roofed houses.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao hurriedly came up to greet them.
"what is your job?"
The cook who was cooking saw someone standing in front of him and was about to say something, but when he saw the man in a python robe, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
"Sir, the younger one is a cook in Yancheng. He was called by the master of the salt farm to cook food for him."
When the cook said this, Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao couldn't help but click their tongues as they looked at the delicacies of food he was holding.
"We can't even eat such good food often, right?"
"yes!"
The two of them were singing along, and one of them picked up a plate held by the cook, while Xu Yunyan stepped forward and pointed to the rooms.
"Since the adult inside wants to eat this food, let's send it to him and see what the people inside look like."
Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian each carried a plate and walked into the room. As soon as they entered, they saw several drunken officials there, changing glasses and eating and drinking.
Several drunk people saw someone coming in and didn't care who it was. They said, "Quick, quick, put down all the food."
When they said this, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian saw that the table in front of them was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, such as top-quality abalone and rare shark fins. Whether they were flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, as long as they could be caught, they were all put here. There were even a few bear paws placed in front of them.
Even if they used their salary to buy this table, they would never be able to afford such a table in their lifetime!
They were still eating here, drinking from big bowls. Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian were so angry that they walked up and slapped the plates in their hands directly on their heads.
Now the officials were furious.
"How dare you, who are you? How dare you do such a thing?"
But just after he said this, he rubbed his eyes and wiped the soup flowing down his forehead, and was shocked when he saw clearly the clothes Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian were wearing in front of him.
"Python robe?"
Everyone was startled in an instant, and as Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao became furious here, a group of elite Tang soldiers wearing helmets rushed in and grabbed them all without any explanation and pushed them to the ground.
When the cold sword was placed on their necks, they finally woke up a little.
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
Just as they kept begging for mercy, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian stepped forward and kicked them.
"Tell me! Where do you get your food? Where does this money come from?"
As Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian were furious here, punching and kicking the salt farm officials, Xu Yunyan slowly walked in.
"Your Highnesses, don't be in a hurry. Let's first check if there are any problems with the accounts in this salt farm. If there are any problems, it won't be too late to deal with them!"
When Xu Yunyan said this, these officials were so frightened that they peed and excreted. They had eaten too much just now, and now they were vomiting under the stimulation of the smell.
Seeing the officials who kept wasting food, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian were even more angry.
"Just wait. If I really find any clues, see how I deal with you. I will not let you go."
Li Chengdao said this, and Li Chengqian also echoed beside him.
"Even if I can't deal with you now, when my father, King Qin, finds out about this, he won't let you go."
