Since Zhang Chengye wants to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, he naturally will not restrict the actions of those people just now, otherwise how will those people report the news.

On the one hand, Zhang Chengye sent several of his sons and cronies to go to each salt farm to investigate the accounts with the accounting offices that knew the accounts of the salt pond. Even if these people do their accounts perfectly, it is impossible to leave no traces.

At the same time, let people supervise those who have strange whereabouts, especially those who deliver news to the outside world, these people are definitely suspicious.

Zhang Xiong did not leave immediately after meeting Zhang Chengye, but stayed to help the other party. Although he had doubts before, he still knew the character of this cheap uncle, and since the other party said that he didn't do it, he must not have done it.

Just when Zhang Chengye was taking a two-pronged approach, Li Zhen arrived at Xie County with the five hundred cavalry given by Jinyiwei and Zhao Xiong.

Knowing that Zhang Chengye had controlled the main steward of the salt pond in the river, Li Zhen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be so fast.

Although this disrupted Li Zhen's plan, he originally wanted to quietly err, but now that the situation has changed, then he should also change his strategy.

"Commander, isn't this Yan Yan envoy too anxious to do this?" Dong Lang complained a little in his words.

Although Zhang Chengye is a close confidant of His Majesty, their Jinyi Wei is known as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they do not belong to each other, and there is no meaning that anyone has a higher status than the other.

Originally, they were in charge of this case, but now Zhang Chengye has messed up their plans like this.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already guessed that there would be the current situation, and he had guessed it from the time he got the news that Zhang Xiong had come to the river.

Shaking his head, Li Zhen said, "Now is not the time to complain about this, since the situation has changed, then we should take extraordinary measures." Zhang Yuyan made such a move, undoubtedly scaring the snake, but this also saved us a lot of trouble, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods all jumped out, so we don't have to work hard to find out. ”

"Commander, where are we going now?" Dong Lang asked.

"Go directly to the Yanyan Embassy Mansion to see what clues Gonggong Zhang has found, so that we don't have to waste time looking for it."

Originally, there was something wrong in Xie County because of Zhang Chengye's fanfare, and many people in Xie County and Anyi County were related to Yanchi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this salt pond fed two counties, and there were tens of thousands of workers in Yanchi alone, which can be imagined.

And this illegal salt incident is obviously quite involved.

Now the arrival of the Jinyi Guard is more like lighting a fire on the dry pyre, and they all realize that the imperial court may be going to move seriously, otherwise they would not have sent the Jinyi Guard.

。。。。。。

The royal palace, that is, the residence of the king steward in question.

Xie County was originally only a small county seat, but because of the salt pond, it is much more prosperous than the average county, with a total of more than 5,000 households.

Although it is more prosperous than other counties, but the population is so much, so the county seat is not big, but the palace in front of it is not small, covering an area of at least hundreds of acres, this is just an ordinary salt farm steward.

Even if the Yanchi Fortune was higher than other officials, it was impossible to buy a mansion of this scale.

"Commander, this courtyard is not small, it shouldn't be able to be purchased without a few hundred." Looking at the house in front of him, Dong Lang was a little surprised.

In Chang'an, such a large courtyard can't be purchased without a thousand runs, and if it is close to the imperial city, the price is even more expensive.

Dong Lang's official position may be regarded as a high-ranking official in the local area, but in Chang'an, there are a lot of people like him.

His home in Chang'an is only five or six acres, and the location is still close to the southwest of Anhuamen, which is relatively remote.

Although Jinyiwei's office is located in the imperial city, the housing prices around the imperial city are high, and it is either rich or expensive to set up a home in this vicinity. At present, Dong Lang has nothing to do with this, so he can only buy cheaper places.

Although Xie County can't be compared with Chang'an City, the price of such a large mansion is not cheap.

"Let's do it!" Li Zhen said lightly.

After learning from Zhang Chengye that there was something wrong with this king's steward, he came here directly with Jinyiwei.

As for the evidence? No!

If the king steward in front of him was a minister of the court, he would naturally have to have evidence, but this king steward was obviously not, although he had an official position, he was just a petty official.

Besides, there is a problem with this one, as for the evidence, after he is caught, he is still afraid that he will not find the evidence?

。。。。。。

"What are you doing?"

Seeing a large number of strange knife-wielding men appear in front of the mansion, the subordinates of the palace were taken aback and a little afraid. Although they didn't know that this was the Jinyi Guard, the uniform and standard weapons were obviously from the official family.

"Do it!"

Dong Lang didn't mean to grind with the other party, and directly ordered the Jinyi Guard soldiers to do it, but as for the forbidden cavalry sent by Zhao Xiong, they watched from the sidelines.

They are an army, and they are also a forbidden army, they will not be such people, these are what the Jinyi guards and officials should do, they are only responsible for protecting the Jinyi guards and these people, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry.

At this time, the palace was in chaos, although the king's steward also raised some guards, but where would it be the opponent of the Jinyi guards.

As for the guards who resisted, they were all mercilessly killed by the soldiers of the brocade guard. Soon, Dong Lang took more than 200 Jinyi guards to control everyone in the palace.

The obese steward Wang was escorted by the Jinyi guards to the front yard, looking at Li Zhen who was admiring the rockery in the front yard, he couldn't help shouting, "Who are you?" You are breaking into a private house, and I am a relative of Jieshuai. ”

Seeing that this steward Wang was so ignorant, the Jinyi guard soldier next to him directly kicked his leg hard, and steward Wang directly knelt on the ground and screamed in pain.

"I forgot to introduce it, I called Li Zhen under the order, and added him as the commander of the Jinyi Guard." Li Zhen turned around and glanced at Steward Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled.

Hearing that it was Jinyiwei, Steward Wang immediately forgot the pain on his body, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

Others don't know Jinyiwei, but he does. At the beginning, Wang Ke contacted the imperial court through Jinyiwei, and he heard Wang Ke say to be careful of Jinyiwei, because Jinyiwei in the river has always been in a semi-public and semi-hidden state, which is very mysterious.

"Looks like you've heard of Jinyiwei." Li Zhen said lightly.

Although Steward Wang was afraid, he still said stiffly, "Even if you are Jinyi Guard, what power do you have to break into the next house, and what power do you have to arrest or even kill people here?" ”

At this time, Dong Lang ran out of nowhere, and the Jinyi Guard soldiers behind him came over carrying large wooden boxes.

Seeing those wooden boxes, Steward Wang's face turned pale.

Li Zhen ignored Wang's expression, walked to the wooden box, and then opened the nearest one, and when he saw the contents inside, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In this wooden box he opened, it was filled with armor, and it was chain mail, and it was also military. Of course, it is not produced by the Ordnance Superintendent, because the Ordnance Superintendent has a mark, and there is a serial number written in numbers.

Li Zhen asked people to open the other boxes, and when they saw the contents inside, the Jinyi guards present were also shocked.

In addition to the armor, there are also crossbows and standard horizontal knives in the chest, all of which are contraband prohibited by the laws of the Tang Dynasty for civilians.

If there were only one or two pieces, it would be reasonable, but there were obviously more than these dozens of boxes in front of me.

In the end, it was counted that there were a total of 102 sets of various armors, 35 crossbows, and 130 military horizontal knives.

Li Zhen came to Steward Wang, who was already paralyzed, and said lightly, "Why did I arrest you?" Just because you have hoarded armor and crossbows, this commander will have every reason to arrest you. ”

"Take them away, send them to the county jail, and the people behind them must be interrogated, and then this place will be sealed."

After Li Zhen finished giving the order, he left directly, while the king steward lay on the ground and shouted, "The commander spares his life, spares his life!" ”

"If you want to spare your life, then explain honestly, otherwise these things are enough for you to exile Lingnan and Annan."

At this time, the land of Lingnan and Annam, in the eyes of the Central Plains, is a land full of miasma, and those who are exiled to those places will die in the place of exile.

When Steward Wang's family was escorted out, the onlookers outside were shocked.

"I heard that this Wang family is a relative of Jieshuai, but I didn't expect to be arrested."

"Can you not be caught? I haven't heard that these soldiers said that the palace secretly hid contraband such as armor and crossbows, and wanted to rebel. ”

"Rebellion? I didn't expect this king to be so bold, but the women in their family are quite smart. ”

"What about Shui Ling, the private possession of weapons surnamed Wang is regarded as an accomplice, his family members have to be linked, and these women are estimated to be slaves and prostitutes in the future!"

Although the palace is a place to house the families and women of criminals and bureaucrats, not everyone can enter the palace.

Steward Wang is such a person, his family will end up in places like Qinglou, and of course it is possible to be assigned to the frontier.

Steward Wang is also a celebrity in Xie County, and he is also an important steward of Yanchi, and his arrest immediately caused the shock of the entire Yanchi stewards who were under house arrest in Xie County.

No one expected that Steward Wang would be the first to be arrested.

This guy is not a prisoner, if he can't stand the punishment, he may vomit everything. Now those who have ghosts in their hearts began to panic.

Before, these people were not very anxious, after all, Zhang Chengye did not dare to arrest people without evidence. But they didn't expect Li Zhen to play his cards so unconventionally, and the excuse he found was actually rebellion, not Yanchi's business.

The key is that contraband was sold in the palace, the evidence is conclusive, and it is useless to quibble.

If the surnamed Wang doesn't hold up and confide in them, they won't be able to run away if they want to.

Just when Steward Wang's family was escorted to the county jail, those who couldn't sit still began to act!
