Yang Lin waited anxiously for a few days and finally received a reply from his son Yang Cong.

Yang Cong said nothing in the letter, but just asked Yang Lin to take people to camp near Yancheng first, so he would naturally send someone to deal with the matter of salt induction.

Although Yang Lin was anxious at this moment, he had no choice but to go to Yancheng as Yang Cong said. Before leaving, he went to tell Pan Nian some of them.

Of course, he didn't tell Pan Nian that his son would send someone to deal with you. He just said that he didn't have enough food and needed some supplies.

More than 2,000 people need a lot of food, drink, defecation and sensation. He could not bring the amount for more than a month at a time. Usually, he would take it for more than ten days, and then replenish it all the way through the cities along the way. He has been staying near the salt farm for more than ten days now, and Pan Nian didn't think there was any problem.

As soon as Yang Lin left, there were naturally other salt merchants coming to exchange for salt intake. A few days later, another salt merchant drove more than a hundred carriages.

The salt merchant also knew the "rules". After stationing next to the salt farm, he brought a cart of silver to visit Pan Nian. Everything seemed normal, but no one in the courtyard noticed that when the salt merchant brought people over, a man in charge also walked towards the courtyard with several men like a stove.

This stove is a salt household that cooks salt, so it is not surprising that it comes to the courtyard where the salt farm is managed. However, when the person in charge came to the entrance of the courtyard with several stove households, the yamen runners who were guarding the door stopped them.

The yamen runners stopped them because they were doing shameful transactions. The salt merchants have been filial to the silver for two times, nor for a year or two. It has been like this for decades. Everyone has become accustomed to it and does not feel anything shameful. The problem is that the yamen runners do not know the manager who leads the team.

The salt farm here is big, but there are only so many managers. The yamen runners have seen it, so if they don’t know it, there will be problems. Therefore, the yamen runners who are guarding the door stopped these people and prevented them from entering.

The yamen runner is really right. The manager is not from the salt farm, but from the capital.

The person dressed as a manager is Hu Zongxian, the Censor of the Censorate, and the so-called stove owners are the guardians under Yang Cong.

Seeing that Hu Zongxian could not get in, he simply waved his hand to order the accompanying guards to rush over the guards' guards, and then took the lead in rushing into the courtyard.

At this moment, Pan Nian was standing in the yard and smilingly greeting the salt merchant. When he saw Hu Zongxian and his people broke in, he didn't know what was going on.

It’s Mapi, he is the king of heaven near this salt field. Who can break in so blindly and ruin his good deeds?

He couldn't help but say annoyed: "What are you from the village who ran in?"

Hu Zongxian ignored him at all. He pulled out the knife behind him, then shouted with a gale, "Take it all!"

Pan Nian was stunned. What are these people doing?

Before he could react, he was fucked by a guard dressed in a stove. The others present wanted to resist, but they were no match for these "stove households". Soon, everyone was pressed to the ground, with their hands tied up tightly.

Hu Zongxian was not in a hurry. He first came to the carriage and ordered people to lift the tarp and open the box. Seeing that there were indeed boxes of silver inside, he turned around and walked to Pan Nian, laughing and said, "Huaibei Salt Class Promotion Officer Pan Nian?"

Pan Nian was confused at this moment. He didn't know what these people did!

He said tremblingly: "You, what are you doing?"

Hu Zongxian then took out a sign from his arms, held it in front of him, and said proudly: "What do you think I'm doing?"

Pan Nian stared at the sign and looked carefully, "Censor of the Censorate of the Salt Censorate"!

His eyes were so scared that his eyes almost fell out, and the Censor of the Censorate was specifically responsible for them.

In fact, he has been secretly worried these days. After all, Yang Lin is the father of the top scholar Yang Cong. If they make things difficult for Yang Lin like this, the top scholar Yang Cong will definitely take revenge. He just didn't expect that the revenge came so quickly and fell directly on his head.

I'm just a minion!

He didn't know what to say, and he had all gained all the stolen things, and there was nothing else to say.

Hu Zongxian suddenly raised his face again and said sternly: "Pan Nian, do you know your guilt?"

He must have known this crime, but he couldn't admit it. Pan Nian simply gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Seeing that this guy didn't speak, Hu Zongxian didn't ask anymore, but waved his hand and said, "Prepare to go to the church."

In this ordinary yamen, there are places to go to the hall to ask questions, even the small branch of the Salt Science and Technology Division was no exception. Soon, Pan Nian and others were dragged into the middle lobby, and the guards stood on both sides of the lobby like yamen runners.

Hu Zongxian had already changed into his official robe and sat on the case. He picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, and then sternly said: "Pan Nian, do you know your guilt?"

Pan Nian still didn't say anything. He thought that he would grit his teeth and hold on. After all, the salt inspector only dared to take action against him, the ninth-rank sesame officer. The fifth-rank rank and third-rank salt transportation meant that he probably didn't dare to do anything. As long as he held on here, the upper people would naturally find a way to save him. After all, everyone was on the same boat.

Seeing that this guy still didn't speak, Hu Zongxian was not in a hurry, so he simply interrogated the salt merchant next to him.

This salt merchant is not as tough as Pan Nian. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. What's more, he was arrested now. Under Hu Zongxian's coercion and intimidation, the salt merchant soon took all the tricks like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Seeing that the salt merchant had signed the confession and wrote the ban, Hu Zongxian beat the stern again and then said sternly: "Pan Nian, everyone has evidence and physical evidence, are you going to do it?"

I'll charm you, Pan Nian still closed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Hu Zongxian didn't know if he was crazy or something, so he shouted directly: "Come on, drag it out and hit the 20 big boards."

The two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged them out with Pan Nian in hand.

Pan Nian was so scared that he shouted: "I am the imperial court official, you can't use lynching."

What he said is true. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone with fame or official positions cannot be punished before fame or official positions are removed.

However, Hu Zongxian did not urinate when he didn't hear it.

Soon, there were crackling sounds of beating the board and Pan Nian's howling sounds came from outside. This beating the board is not a joke. If the killing stick is as thick as an arm, it will hurt the bones with just a few sticks, and the skin will be broken with just a dozen sticks. Most people will be beaten to death if they are less than a hundred sticks. Twenty big boards are already cruel enough.

After a while, Pan Nian, whose butt was beaten and bloomed, was dragged in.

Hu Zongxian beat the awkward again and then said sternly: "Pan Nian, are you going to do it?"

Pan Nian still wanted to hold on. He thought Hu Zongxian was just threatening him. It was already the limit to hit the 20-plate board. If he hit him again, he would not end it. As long as he didn't help, it would not be him who would have something to do, but Hu Zongxian. So he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, when Hu Zongxian saw that he didn't say anything, he shouted: "Come here, drag it out and hit the twenty boards again."

Pan Nian screamed in fear: "Stop, you, you, you, the court will not let you go if you abuse your lynching."

Hu Zongxian smiled sinisterly: "What are the abuse of lynching? People and physical evidence are there. You are committing suicide fearing the crime, do you know?"

This guy is so shameless!

This guy actually wanted to kill him!

Pan Nian was finally scared. Although he didn't know if Hu Zongxian could commit suicide in the end, if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely be killed by a stick.

After death, nothing is gone. So what if Hu Zongxian abused his lynching and was dismissed from office and investigated!

He is not a tough guy who is not afraid of death. Hu Zongxian's attitude really scared him.

He doesn't want to die, so he can only help.
