Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 815: No one of the Salt Gang accomplices can be spared

"Let's go! The person has already run away, we can't find anything." Jiang Youzhen said.

"Are we going back like this?" Tao Chendong was very unwilling.

"What about your gold medal? What about my handwritten order? What should I do?"

"You shouldn't have let them search it. If the gold medal is lost, how will you explain it to the emperor?"

Tao Chendong sighed. He could still hide the fact that his handwritten edict was missing, but he could never hide Jiang Youzhen’s gold medal.

"Let's go! Let Lord Lu issue a wanted order, and we'll go see what the follower has confessed?" Jiang Youzhen said.

Even though he was unwilling, Tao Chengdong had no choice but to leave the Bian Mansion with Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen and the others returned to the cell, and Lu Shengyuan came to greet them.

"Where is the person? Has he been caught?"

Tao Chendong sighed, "No, he got away. He must have sensed something was wrong. This judge is quite smart."

"I think someone might be leaking the information." Jiang Youzhen said suddenly.

"Oh? Then who do you think it is?" Lu Shengyuan asked.

"I just have some suspicions, but no target for suspicion." Jiang Youzhen shook his head, then looked at the follower who had been tortured beyond recognition.

"Did he confess?"

"This is his confession, please take a look at it, sir." A jailer handed over the confession.

"This guy was originally watching Lord Lu sign and stamp the document. He actually knows a little about the salt field." At this time, Li Dongsheng walked over and whispered a few words to Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it, but he didn't explain much, such as who his superior was and who he worked for.

Let’s just say that there are insiders at the salt fields and salt warehouses. They are cooperating with the Salt Gang. The Salt Gang can get so much salt from the salt fields not just by themselves.

This person's confession mentioned that the Salt Gang was just a mob in the beginning. It was only because of their organization and support that they became so large.

But in contrast, the Salt Gang reached an agreement with them. Usually, the Salt Gang was in the open, and they were in the dark, and they got 40% of the money from the illegal salt sales.

The main responsibility of the Salt Gang was to sell illegal salt, and they were responsible for expanding their network of contacts. For example, they had people in the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office and the Jiang Province garrison.

Moreover, they have already taken action towards Pingjiang Prefecture and Tianfu and other places, intending to gradually monopolize the sale of private salt.

Jiang Youzhen finished reading the confession and found a few names written at the end.

"The Salt Gang is currently after money, but the mysterious forces are not. Judging from their actions, they are intimidating, bribing, and holding court officials hostage in order to infiltrate the court."

"Why are they infiltrating the imperial court? Do they want to rebel?" Tao Chendong was shocked.

"It's hard to say." Jiang Youzhen shook his head, then took a look at the names on the confession.

Perhaps there are more than just these few people who have been infiltrated. Jiang Youzhen feels that there are still people eyeing the throne. It's a pity that Luo Dan's handle has not been caught, otherwise there will definitely be a breakthrough.

“But they didn’t force me to do anything other than selling illegal salt. Maybe they just want the money?” Lu Shengyuan was puzzled.

"As the transport commissioner of the capital, you are most exposed to salt. Salt is the foundation of human survival. To monopolize salt is to grasp the lifeblood of the court. It should not be underestimated."

"Sir, the names of these people still need to be verified. There are three of them in the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office!" Jiang Youzhen looked at Lu Shengyuan.

Lu Shengyuan sighed, then said with a sad face: "I will handle this matter! But what about this person? If they find out that he is missing, will they attack my son?"

"Then let him stay with the adults." Jiang Youzhen said.

"How can he stay with me now that he has become like this?"

Lu Shengyuan pointed at his follower who had turned into a puddle of mud, somewhat incredulous.

"Don't worry, sir. Find someone of equal stature, disguise your face, and get away with it!"

Lu Shengyuan hesitated to speak, but finally sighed, "This is the only way."

Jiang Youzhen watched him leave, and then gave Li Dongsheng a look.

The two walked outside the cell, and Jiang Youzhen asked, "Have the young ladies of the Liao family been settled? Where are the people guarding the Liao family?"

"Currently they are settled in a house in the north of the city and are under guard. The guards of the Liao family only caught two people and killed five, while the rest escaped.

I have already interrogated the remaining two people, and what they said is similar to what the special envoy said just now. However, their power is not as great as that of the special envoy. They are only responsible for guarding and know very little. "

"What should we do now? If this force is not eliminated, it will definitely endanger the court." Li Dongsheng frowned. He didn't expect that things would become more difficult.

"If we want to find out who is behind this, we have to focus on one person."

"Who is it?" Li Dongsheng asked puzzledly.

Jiang Youzhen mentioned a name and Li Dongsheng was very surprised.

"Why him? Is there something wrong?" Li Dongsheng recalled carefully what was wrong.

"There are two things you need to do." Jiang Youzhen leaned close to Li Dongsheng's ear and whispered a few words.

"This? Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Li Dongsheng nodded, and then hurriedly disappeared into the night.

"Prepare two side rooms for me." Jiang Youzhen ordered.

Tao Chendong, who had hurried over, frowned upon hearing this. He walked over to Jiang Youzhen and asked, "What should we do now? The clues seem to be broken. How can we lead out the mastermind? There are still two children in their hands."

"Master Tao, you should go to bed early! We can talk about other things tomorrow."

Jiang Youzhen asked the jailer to lead the way and prepared to go to the wing room of the government office.

Tao Chendong was speechless. Just left like that?

Jiang Youzhen returned to the room, simply washed up, and then fell asleep on the bed.

When Tao Chendong learned that Jiang Youzhen had already rested, he couldn't help but feel that this boy was too careless.

Well! Since Jiang Youzhen is not worried, what should he worry about? Just go to bed!

I don’t know how long I slept, but Tao Chendong was awakened by a loud noise outside the house.

He was so startled that he sat up from the bed and listened carefully. He found that there were not only shouting outside, but also the sound of swords clashing.

What happened? Why did the fight start?

He quickly put on his clothes and opened the door a crack. With the light from the lantern in the corridor, he found several assassins in night clothes outside.

"Kill Jiang Youzhen!" someone shouted, and then a group of people attacked Jiang Youzhen.

Another assassination attempt on Jiang Youzhen? Tao Chendong immediately closed the door. He didn't know martial arts, so he would die if he went out. Anyway, Jiang Youzhen was so powerful, he would be fine.

When Lu Shengyuan arrived, he found that Jiang Youzhen's room had been almost completely destroyed.

"Someone come! Take these people down!" Lu Shengyuan shouted.

"Kill! Kill Lu Shengyuan! Don't let any of them go." One of them shouted.

Lu Shengyuan's eyes flashed with shock, and then he shouted, "Quick! Capture these assassins!"
