It turned out that this was the matter, as Qi Heng had deployed eight hundred soldiers to help expand the Fan Family. Of course, if one were to say that it was something big or small, it could be said that it was something small. If one did not investigate it further, it was possible that it was nothing that had happened.

Tang Yin pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then, how much silver did Qi Heng take from the Fan Family?"

Zhang Zhe raised his head, gave Tang Yin a deep glance, and faintly said: "Fancy your Fan Family, and that will be the greatest benefit Qi Heng received."

To please Fan Family, was the same as flattering Fan Min, and it was also equivalent to flattering the King. Even if Fan Family were to give Qi Heng money, he would not accept it!

"If the one who abused his authority was Qi Heng, then why did you order the Lieutenant's Mansion to capture Fan Ju? What's wrong with him? "

"Qi Heng built a house for Fan Family. This subject should be investigating Fan Family. During the investigation, this subject discovered that the Fan Family was secretly selling iron and salt behind the back of the imperial government. As the Patriarch of the imperial family, Fan Ju naturally had to take him down. " Zhang Zhe said with a serious expression.

In that era, salt and iron were both windfall profits, and were important sources of revenue for a country. The salt and iron business could only be done by the imperial government, and any peddler was strictly prohibited from touching them.

After Tang Yin heard it, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Did Fan Family secretly do some salt and iron business? He stared at Zhang Zhe and asked: "Zhang Zhe, this is not a small matter, do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Zhe said: "Fan Ju is the King's father-in-law, I am naturally aware of this in my heart. If you do not have solid evidence, how could you dare to easily arrest him?"

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "The matter of the Fan Family selling the salt and iron ores was investigated by the Master Gu s of the Lieutenant's Mansion.

Tang Yin's eyes turned and said to Ah San who was at the door: "Immediately call Gu Chong to enter the palace to see me."

Without waiting for Ah San to agree, Zhang Zhe waved his hand and said: "Gu Chong is as timid as a mouse, how could he dare to investigate this matter, this case was investigated by Master Gu Chen."

That's right, that's right. Even though Zhang Zhe's words were unpleasant to hear, it was also the truth. With Gu Chong's personality, even if he discovered that there was something wrong with his Fan Family, he wouldn't dare to touch them. He changed his tone and said: Summon Gu Chen!

After Ah San left, Tang Yin stood up and paced back and forth in the room. What Zhang Zhe said was correct, if there was no solid evidence, he would not dare to apprehend Fan Ju.

What should I do? Kill Fan Ju? Sealing Fan Family? Forget about him not being able to pass Fan Min, even he himself would not be able to!

If nothing happened, then who would dare to meddle in Fan Family's affairs? In the future, wouldn't everyone dare to fight with the imperial government for the chance to do the salt and iron business? Where would Feng Country's revenue come from?

The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and the more uncomfortable it became for Zhang Zhe. Some things, tooth root should not touch, do not touch, everybody is better, touch, everybody is sad.

When Zhang Zhe did things, he did not care about the consequences at all. He did not care about the difficulties of others either.

But, how was he supposed to handle this?

Tang Yin found it a hundred times more difficult to handle these internal affairs, external affairs, and layers of relationships than when he was in the army. No wonder Fan Min hadn't come to see him. His father was already condemned to death. What could he say when he saw his? What could he say to her? They were both put in a difficult position when they saw each other.

It was a mistake to leave Zhang Zhe in charge of the imperial court. He should not have brought Qiu Zhen and Yuanji into the good mood, but it was too late to regret now.

"I say, my Master Zhang Zhang Zhe, what do you want me to do with this matter? Did he kill his own father-in-law? " Tang Yin laughed from the anger, and laughed as he looked at Zhang Zhe, and asked.

"The King is the King, and her every action is the focus of thousands of eyes. If the King practices favoritism for personal gain and conceals mercy, she will definitely be ridiculed by the people."

"It turns out that you also know this point. This is precisely what makes him feel troubled the most." You wouldn't really want This King to kill Madam's father, right? " Tang Yin squinted his eyes.

Zhang Zhe lowered his head in silence.

"What's wrong? Are you dumb? "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject is a Censors, I only care about investigating wrongdoings. As for the final decision, it does not belong to this subject, and this subject does not dare to say anything!"

Boom! * Tang Yin ferociously kicked the table over, lowered his head and angrily pointed at Zhang Zhe, roaring: "This is what you hate the most!"

Zhang Zhe's body that was kneeling on the ground trembled, he lowered his head and said softly: "If Your Majesty thinks this official is guilty, then I ask Your Majesty to pass down the decree to Cha Kui!"

"You think I don't dare? Wouldn't it be fine if I lost you? " Tang Yin was so angry that he wanted to grab the table and smash Zhang Zhe's head.

"This humble subject dares not!"0

"I don't think there's anything you don't dare to do." Tang Yin stared at him, gasping for breath, but he was unwilling to let go of Zhang Zhe, since there were too many tactful people by his side, and there were too few who did not know anything like Zhang Zhe.

Ah Si carefully walked into the study room and brought back the table that Tang Yin kicked flying back in order to place the rest of the things back in place. He then picked up the pieces of the memorials scattered on the floor one by one.

Tang Yin raised his hand to knock his forehead, and then began to pace back and forth in the room. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Ah Si: "Don't pack up, summon Zong Yuan, let him enter the palace immediately, quickly!"

He had no other choice now, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were still not around, he could only call Zong Yuan over to discuss this matter. In Tang Yin's opinion, even if Zong Yuan's ability and ability wasn't as good as Qiu Zhen's and Shangguan Yuanji's, it wasn't too far off.

Zong Yuan was currently in the palace, in Fan Min's chambers. He was the Young Manor, and was in charge of the Wang Family's finances as well as all income and expenditure. He frequently interacted with Fan Min. With such a huge incident with the Fan Family, the first person Fan Min thought of was precisely Zong Yuan.

was not surprised that the King had summoned them, rather, it was within his expectations. Before leaving Fan Min's palace, he did not forget to comfort him, "My lady, please be at ease.

Fan Min let out a light sigh, and said faintly: "I am not worried about the King, I am worried that someone might grab hold of this matter and not let go!"

Of course, Zong Yuan knew who she was referring to. He rolled his eyes and laughed, saying, "No matter how old some people are, they are not as big as the King. Lady, don't worry!"

"The King must have sought Master Zong out for this. I think that you should understand how to speak in front of the King." Fan Min walked over to Zong Yuan with a smile. A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared at him and asked with a smile.

Zong Yuan's heart trembled, he immediately cupped his hands: "This humble subject understands."

"Hm!" Go! I am just waiting for your good news. " Fan Min gently waved her hand.

"This humble official will take his leave!" Zong Yuan bowed and left Fan Min's sleeping quarters. After walking a distance, he finally raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Amongst Tang Yin's wives, the one with the most unfathomable scheming was Fan Min. She was from a noble family, had a sharp mind and was very shrewd, even Zong Yuan was afraid of her.

Very quickly, Zong Yuan arrived at the study room and kowtowed to Tang Yin. Seeing Zong Yuan, the gloominess on Tang Yin's face had lessened somewhat. After he sat down, he smiled and asked: I heard that you just came over from Lady Wan An's place? What's going on? "

"Ah, your majesty, this humble subject has only handed over this month's account book to Madame for a look." Zong Yuan was already prepared. He answered without thinking.

"Only about the accounts?"

"Yes, my lord."

"You should have heard about the change in Lady Wan An's family, right?" Tang Yin drank his tea expressionlessly, and spoke slowly: "The Fan Family has no laws, and can actually sell salt and iron without permission. Master Zhang suggests that I should punish them severely, Zong Yuan, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhe who was seated at the side lowered his head and did not say a word. Zong Yuan secretly grimaced, how was he supposed to answer this question? The meaning behind the severe punishment was to kill Fan Ju.

His mind raced and his eyeballs rolled as he thought about what the King wanted to hear and how he would be able to explain the answer.

After pondering for a while, Zong Yuan laughed: "This humble subject feels that Master Zhang is right. This matter, cannot be forgiven, and must be severely punished."

Seeing that Tang Yin's face was about to turn black, Zong Yuan continued: "Of course, it's only right to strictly observe the law, but you can't mistakenly kill innocent people either. It is as the proverb goes, In the forest, there are all kinds of birds. With Fan Family and industry, it is normal for there to be one or two scum.

Zong Yuan's words were just and strict, but anyone who heard them would understand, what he meant was that a few people from Fan Family had come to take the blame.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, staring at Zong Yuan, and asked: "Do you think that doing this will stop the masses from talking? will you be able to convince the masses? "

"Of course not!" Zong Yuan said in a serious tone, "Even if they have heavily punished those unscrupulous people who indulged in greed and vexation, Fan Family still bears the responsibility of being unfavorable towards their supervision, and should be punished along with them. This humble official has calculated, the income of Fan Family is close to twelve million silver taels a year, and the King can punish him with three years of winning, or thirty million silver taels. In this way, she can punish us, serve as an example, and fill our national treasury with money, which can be said to be the best way to kill two birds with one stone. "

Listen to me, what a good subject, that's what a good subject is! In Tang Yin's opinion, a good subject shouldn't just find a problem, the key point was to solve it.

Zong Yuan's method was the best. By killing a few people with Fan Family and drawing out a huge penalty ticket, he would be able to warn Fan Family and make them restrain their actions in the future. At the same time, he would also be able to prevent himself from doing things too hard with Fan Min.

Tang Yin's face, which had been gloomy for almost an entire day, finally revealed a smile. He then asked: "Zong Yuan, then how do you think we should settle Qi Heng's case?"
