From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 586

Zhou Yuan was worried about Li Yu'an's safety, but he couldn't leave at the moment, so he came to the Yangzhou government prison.

It was more lively than ever before. The governor of Jiangsu, the prefect of Yangzhou, the garrisons of various states, the six major families, and the royal relatives were all arranged here.

They were all dejected and pale, looking at each other with only hatred in their eyes.

"Hahaha! Guan, you have come to this day!"

Wu Qinghe couldn't help but grin and said, "Do you think you can get away with betraying us? Ha! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me."

Guan Lindu didn't say anything, just sneered.

With his status, he didn't have to worry that Zhou Yuan would kill him. No one in the world was qualified to kill him, not even the emperor.

Because the emperor was born to him, no emperor could bear the crime of patricide.

Guan Lu was anxiously waiting for Zhou Yuan. Although Yangzhou City had been completely closed, Shenque was also trying to contain the spillage of news and ensure that other officials in the chain had no time to hide, but after all, they had to hurry up, and it would be a lot of trouble if they were late.

Seeing Zhou Yuan coming in, he hurried up and whispered: "Sir, we must dig out all the people in the entire chain as soon as possible. Qin Zhaoxian's status is not low, and he is the best breakthrough point."

Zhou Yuan nodded and strode towards Qin Zhaoxian.

His face was cold, and he said lightly: "Sir, Qin, a frontier official, a second-rank governor, as long as he can hold on for four or five years, it will be no problem to go to Beijing to take charge of a department. Why bother?"

Qin Zhaoxian looked at Zhou Yuan, as if he had thousands of words to say, but finally turned into a sigh.

"Alas..."

He seemed to have no strength left, and said bitterly: "In the officialdom, there are not so many choices. Without money, I am afraid that I will still be a fifth-rank official."

"It is fate, I have nothing to say."

Zhou Yuan said: "Tell me, who is that person in the court?"

Qin Zhaoxian sighed: "There are only five people, it is not difficult to guess."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then said: "The Zhejiang Party has the greatest influence here, and the leader of the Zhejiang Party is Yang Guozhong, but I don't believe he would be so stupid."

"As the chief minister of the cabinet, his power has reached the end. He is the leader of all officials. Even if he wants to If you spend money, you won't make such a big mistake. "

"Wang Lun has always been rigorous in his work and lives a simple life. He has been in Beijing for more than 20 years. He has been criticized a lot, but he has never been stigmatized."

Qin Zhaoxian said: "It's a coincidence that I not only have no stigma, but I haven't even been criticized. But I haven't come here yet."

Zhou Yuan laughed and said softly: "You can't protect him, and you can't hide it. Guan Lindu will give me the answer."

Qin Zhaoxian sneered: "Do you think he will be afraid of you? What is his identity?"

Zhou Yuan didn't speak, but walked towards Guan Lindu next door.

Guan Lindu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Little beast, don't think about getting any news from me. I'm not afraid of you."

Zhou Yuan didn't speak, but handed him a letter.

Guan Lindu was full of doubts, took it and looked down, his face gradually became terrified.

Zhou Yuan said: "You are her father, you can recognize her handwriting, do you still think I dare not kill you?"

Guan Lindu's eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't help choking and said: "She! She! How can she be so unfilial!"

At this moment, Guan Lindu was about to go crazy. He couldn't believe that his daughter was so cruel and really wanted to kill her father.

Zhou Yuan said: "I've said that His Majesty only cares about the country. In order to revive the Great Jin Dynasty, even you need to make way."

"Guan Lindu, your death is coming."

Guan Lindu suddenly raised his head and roared: "You dare to kill me! Even if it's her order, you dare to kill me?"

"This is not an imperial decree, it's just a letter. If you kill me, if she turns against you in the future, you will die."

"Do you dare to plant such a big root of disaster for yourself!"

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly, looked at his side, and said: "Introduce yourself."

Chu Feifan stood up and said lightly: "Chu Feifan, the Great Sun Dharma King of the Wusheng Sect, I meet you."

Zhou Yuan said: "Guan Lindu, the Wusheng Sect killed you, what does it have to do with me, Zhou Yuan?"

Guan Lindu stared at Chu Feifan and said: "If you kill me, there will be no place for you in the Great Jin Dynasty!"

Chu Feifan didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Yuan helplessly.

Zhou Yuan thought in his heart that he was a loser who couldn't even act.

Just as he was about to speak, Li He's voice came from outside: "General, an old man has come. We dare not stop him with the imperial edict."

Zhou Yuan turned around and saw Zeng Cheng, whom he had not seen for a long time.

He came in aggressively, and his face became ferocious when he saw the familiar people in the prison.

"Zhou Yuan! Are you sure you didn't catch the wrong person? Are you sure!"

He looked cold and shouted: "Open it quicklyPrison door, let the official out!"

Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Mr. Zeng, long time no see. It is my duty to inspect the private salt. It has nothing to do with you. Please be quiet."

Then he looked at Guan Lindu and said: "You don't have much time. If you tell the truth, I can send you back to Shenjing."

Guan Lindu said: "No one dares to kill me! No one!"

Zhou Yuan said: "There is a man who found me before. He is willing to exchange his life for mine."

"His surname is Miao, and his name is Miao Lian."

Guan Lindu was stunned.

Zhou Yuan said softly: "You use your power to oppress others. How do you treat his wife and two daughters?"

"He has hated you for a long time. As a man, he feels that he has no face to live in this world."

"He provided me with detailed information on the canal transportation, just to ask me to give him a chance to kill you with his own hands."

Guan Lindu's expression was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That pariah! "

Zhou Yuan said: "He is in Yangzhou right now. I will ask him to come tonight. What do you think he will do to you?"

"You dare!"

Guan Lindu said: "Zhou Yuan, you are..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw the letter in his hand. For a moment, he didn't have the confidence to continue.

Zhou Yuan said: "Tell me everything. I can give you a chance to go to Beijing. Whether you can survive depends on your luck."

Guan Lindu breathed rapidly, stared at Zhou Yuan, and said: "Will you give me a chance to survive?"

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and said: "Why not? Even if you survive, you will be under house arrest at home, and nothing can be done, and I can avoid killing you, a hot potato."

"But you only have this one chance, otherwise, I will fulfill my promise to Miao Lian."

Guan Lindu has lost his mind and panted: "You swear! You swear not to break your promise! "

Zhou Yuan said proudly: "I swear, as long as you tell the truth, I will send you back to Beijing. If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Until this time, Guan Lindu saw a little hope and murmured: "I said... I said... It was... Xu Shaozhan."

Zeng Cheng's face turned pale and he exclaimed: "What did you say! Shaozhan? How is it possible! How could he do that!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Guan Lu, give him paper and pen, let him write down all the sins he committed over the years."

"After writing, send him back to Beijing."

Guan Lu nodded and said: "I understand."

Zhou Yuan looked at Zeng Cheng and said: "Master Zeng, let's go and leave this place to them."

"No!"

Zeng Cheng's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said: "I want to listen, I want to know what Shaozhan has done over the years! He has always been our role model! ”

As court officials, Zeng Cheng and Xu Shigong were both leaders of the Chu Party and former classmates.

They had a deep relationship and it was no exaggeration to say that they were brothers.

Now, they have gone their separate ways.

Zhou Yuan ignored him and strode out of the government office.

With the confession written by Guan Lindu himself, the entire private salt group should be arrested. Just let Zhuang Xuansu go to arrest them. Anyway, there are inner courts in various places and they have their own contact channels.

As for Guan Lindu, let Miao Lian kill him. He has no room to refuse, and therefore, it will be easier to control him in the future.

Everyone has his own sins, and how to sentence them is up to the law.

Zhou Yuan no longer asked about these details, and took them all to Shenjing for His Majesty to decide personally.

The Yangzhou salt inspection has come to an end, and the court situation will inevitably be shaken, and the younger generation can take the stage.

Tang Dynasty... This Jin Zhou Yuan had always looked down on the number one scholar.

He felt that this person was not very pragmatic and was vain. He only knew how to organize poetry gatherings. When he was in Shenjing, Zhou Yuan would not have bothered to go if Qiaoshan Gong had not forced him to.

But now it seems that Zhou Yuan thinks he is wrong.

Tang Yichao was young, and he had the vigor of a young man. Although he was vain and liked to show off, he had his persistence and bottom line. He brought a new force to the court officialdom.

Not only him, but also other young generations.

The times should indeed change, and it is time for these young people to step onto the stage and carry out drastic reforms.

So many officials died in Jiangnan, and someone should take over.

In terms of public opinion, we can start to arrange it.

Jinling Academy and Dajin Times must contribute, and Qiaoshan Gong is no exception. Jiangnan should become the second Central Plains, so that... the follow-up will be easy.
