"What crime have we committed? Can the prince do whatever he wants? Qi Yao was held by Jinyiwei's hands and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, the prince can do whatever he wants, you bite me?" Dare to be so presumptuous when he is dying, Liu Hong is gradually convinced by this guy surnamed Zhang.

"Lord Feng, this king suspects you of perverting the law for bribes, colluding with salt merchants, and causing trouble to the dynasty, as for you, do you still need to talk about your crimes? You don't have a few counts in your own mind? Liu Hong gradually glanced at the salt merchant who was seized by the Jinyi guard.

Not to mention that uniting to fight against the imperial decree can be regarded as rebellion, which of these rich and unkind profiteers has no life in his hands?

As long as you go to their hometown to check, you will definitely not be able to run away from any of them who encroach on good land, force good people to become prostitutes, or force them to buy and sell.

"The old man is a member of the imperial court, and the concubine Yuan is my niece, even if the old man is at fault, the prince, you are so behaving, I am afraid it will make the concubine Niangniang and the emperor very embarrassed!"

Feng Liang knew that this young man was not easy to mess with, so he had to move out of his biggest backstage.

"Concubine Yuan? I don't know.

As for the Emperor, believe it or not, as long as the Emperor knows about it, his old man himself will be eager to slash you! "What kind of friendship does Liu Hong have with Uncle Chongzhen, where does he care about such an old miscellaneous hair?

I have heard that Concubine Yuan is also a couple who have shared joys and sorrows with Chongzhen, even if she has never seen her, she should be a reasonable person, and she can always distinguish between national and family affairs, right?

"Don't talk nonsense, take it away, go to the yamen of Yangzhou prefect!" effortlessly served the main culprit who obstructed the taxation, and Liu Honggradually was still in a good mood.

"Wait, can the prince borrow one to speak?" Feng Liang whispered.

If it were other officials in the court, he would be sure to rely on the silver and Concubine Yuan behind him, but this time he encountered a hard stubble, but he still did not give up hope.

"Oh? You don't need to borrow it, just say it here! "Liu Hongjian doesn't know what this guy wants to do, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, and there is nothing new.

"The old man is willing to give 500,000 taels of silver, and I hope the prince can let him go." Feng Liang gritted his teeth and said, 500,000 taels is almost equivalent to half of his family property, which is his savings in the past five years.

"Is it only 500,000 taels?" Liu Hong gradually did not agree or refuse, and mocked.

"Six...... 600,000 taels. As soon as he heard that there was a play, Feng Liang immediately increased the price, and he thought in his heart that as long as he could avoid this catastrophe, as long as the young county king in front of him accepted his generous gift, it would mean that he was the prince's person!

In the future, if an official comes to check the accounts, he may mention that the name of the prince is more effective than that of his niece, eh...... So he still earned it, isn't it 600,000 taels of silver?

As long as he can continue to stay in the position of the salt envoy, he will earn it back in less than two or three years, which is simply a good deal.

"You may not believe it, but this king is not interested in money.

It's better to honestly go to prison with this king, as for your family property, this king will go and confiscate it. Liu Hong said unmoved.

Is he short of silver? Of course not.

Xishan Shanghe only worked hard for one year, and the profit reached more than 4 million taels, and more than 1 million taels were distributed to him, which was only temporary.

As a leader in the nine-year compulsory education in later generations, he also brought so many various technical books that surpassed this era for hundreds of years, and it was just a matter of waving his hands to earn money.

Besides, how much money is enough? People in this life are just three meals a day, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and all kinds of needs always have a fixed amount, when the income far exceeds this number, but it becomes a number.

Why cling to that string of numbers, and let yourself be covered in copper stench, and be busy with cases all your life?

When you have too much money to spend, it's better to live for your own interests and dreams.

And Liu Hongji's dream is very simple, eat and sleep, play Doudou, travel in the mountains and rivers, marry a girl and have a baby.

"The old man is willing to give all his family property, just ask the prince to let me go!" Liu Hongji's words made Feng Liang dizzy for a while, not interested in money? So why become an official?

He also thought that Liu Hong gradually disliked the lack of money he paid, so he had to continue to increase the price in pain.

"I said that this king is not interested, why are you deaf?

And a few of you, who is the person behind what you just said? Give an honest account to this king. Liu Hong gradually glared at the salt merchants.

No one knows the prestige of the king of Anguo County, who doesn't know, that is a murderous person who doesn't blink, Qi Yao and the others dare to make a mistake when they see Feng Liangdu, but for Liu Hongji's inquiry, they all looked at each other silently.

Just kidding, if they say it, they will only die even worse, and they will probably not even let their families go.

"Lao Chang, I'll leave it to you, you can do it yourself if you peel the skin or cramp, don't care if they live or die, this king wants to know the real murderer behind this scene." Liu Hong gradually said to Chang Yu.

Chang Yu is the former Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division's pacification envoy, and the Beizhen Fusi is in charge of the edict prison, as well as the arraignment and interrogation of important prisoners in prison.

Torture in the world, Jinyiwei dares to call it second, oh, maybe only Dongchang dares to call it first, Liu Hong gradually shuddered when he thought of the people and sticks created by Cao Huachun.

I heard that Dai Shan's guy also came to his hands, alas, it's really miserable!

"My lord, is it here?" The corners of Chang Yu's mouth raised, and he pinched his fingers and rattled them, I haven't done my old job for a long time, and I have some hands!

"It's here, hurry! This king is waiting for you downstairs. Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and planned to go downstairs.

"I'll move, I'll move, ah-" Wu Zuoren, a salt merchant in Taixing, saw that these people were so fierce that they wanted to torture them here, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground in fright and beg for mercy.

It's just that before he could say a word, he was knocked out by Chang Yu with a knife.

Of course, the interrogation of prisoners is to be interrogated in isolation, otherwise if these people collude, they will not be deceived.

Upstairs suddenly sounded crying dad and mother, and after less than a quarter of an hour, Chang Yu went downstairs.

"My lord, these profiteers' bones are too soft, and they haven't used their knives yet, but they have all been recruited." Chang Yu has not had fun returning to his old business, and he is unhappy.

"What, do you still want to do your old job? This king can transfer you to Jinyi Wei as the commander, and when Lao Liang retires, you can take over. Liu Hong said casually.

"Hey, the adults are laughing, they are still willing to stay by the side of the adults, even if they are a pawn." Chang Yu said solemnly.

Where is it comfortable to stay by the prince's side when he returns to Jinyiwei, and he is also a person with a knighthood after fighting for a year, so he can naturally tell how this title came about.

"Oh yes, my lord, Zhang Qihua of Luzhou, Chen Hong of Taizhou, Qi Yao of Yangzhou, Wu Zuoren of Taixing, Zhao Tianhe of Hezhou, and Kong Yanzhao of Xinghua all confessed, and they all said the same person." Chang Yu said again.

"Oh? Who is it? ”
