It was two hours later when Chen Hong came to see Wei Changsheng again.

Wei Changsheng did not dare to delay and hurriedly brought Huang Changzong up.

After Chen Hong and Wei Changsheng walked into the room, they saw Zhu Youxiao lying on the couch. Chen Yu'er, who had been serving the emperor, was no longer by his side.

Wei Changsheng didn't dare to ask, or even look up, but said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Huang Changzong is here."

"Let him in." Zhu Youxiao sat up straight and said.

Not long after, Huang Changzong walked in from outside the door.

Upon seeing Zhu Youxiao, Huang Changzong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I, Huang Changzong, pay my respects to you."

"Okay, no need to be so polite." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

Huang Changzong stood up and waited respectfully on the side.

"Are you all ready?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Changzong and said, "The Jinyiwei are about to take action. This time they are targeting the Han family. You should be able to take over the Han family's business soon."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the Han family's other businesses. The only thing he cared about was the Han family's salt.

The salt business cannot be delayed. In this regard, Huang Changzong must do things well. The supply of salt cannot be interrupted, and salt shortages cannot occur in various places.

Otherwise, trouble will easily arise. Without salt, local distributors will raise prices, resulting in people having no salt to eat, which will cause problems.

"Your Majesty, we're ready. If action is taken here, we'll take over immediately." Huang Changzong said quickly, "My men have already arrived in the city. Once the Jinyiwei take action, I'll send someone to check the accounts and contact the ships, and we'll take over immediately."

"Okay, then go ahead." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "The Jinyiwei are about to take action, so go and keep an eye on them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Changzong quickly agreed and turned to walk out.

After explaining this matter, Zhu Youxiao lay down again.

There was nothing to do in the next two days, so what he had to do next was to watch the show and see who would jump out immediately.

Jinyiwei Yamen.

After Huang Changzong arrived, he met Xu Xianchun.

After the two met, they discussed countermeasures directly.

In fact, there was nothing to discuss. One person was arresting people and sealing off the place in front, while the other person was taking over from behind. This was not the first time such a thing had happened.

They had done this kind of thing before in Zhangjiakou. The Imperial Guards were arresting people in the front, while the Imperial Household Department was collecting the bodies nearby.

With the Jinyiwei's deterrence, basically no one dared to make a move at this time. After all, a group of people had already been arrested, so there was no need to worry about arresting another group. Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had accumulated a lot of talents over the years, so such a thing would not be a problem.

At the same time, Han Qi's face looked a little ugly.

After Yangzhou Prefect Chen Tang entered the Jinyiwei Yamen, he never came out again.

The Jinyiwei Yamen gave people the feeling of a man-eating beast. As long as someone was sent in, he would be filled in. From the eunuch Zhang Wei who was in charge of the garrison to Chen Tang, the prefect of Yangzhou, no one was an exception.

This gave Han Qi a bad feeling.

Han Qi left home and prepared to go to Nanjing.

This matter could no longer be resolved in Yangzhou, so he needed to find another place to solve it. After arriving in Yangzhou, Xu Xianchun was very strong, although no one knew why.

However, before leaving, Han Qi was going to visit someone, Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou Transport Commissioner.

In Yangzhou, if we talk about official positions, Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou Transport Commissioner, has the highest rank; if we look higher up, he is the Governor of the Grand Canal.

It was established in the second year of the Jingtai reign, and was responsible for the grain transport, urging the southern provinces to transport grain to the capital via the canal.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Capital Grain Transport Administration was established and a grain transport envoy was appointed, but it was abolished soon after.

During the Yongle period, a commander-in-chief of the grain transport was appointed. During the Xuande period, officials such as the assistant minister, the chief censor, and the junior minister were sent to supervise the grain transport.

In the second year of Jingtai's reign, the Governor-General of the Grain Transport System and the Governor-General of Feng, Yang, Lu, and Huai, and the three prefectures of Xu, He, and Chu were established, and his station was in Huai'an (now in Jiangsu).

Later, the governors were set up separately, and in the 40th year of Jiajing, they were merged again and the governor-general of the grain transport and the commander-in-chief of military affairs were appointed.

Although Huai'an is not far from Yangzhou, there is still some distance between them. As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and the Governor of the Grand Canal is still unable to deal with Xu Xianchun.

It seems that we have to take the second path. Xu Xianchun is about to turn against us completely.

He could only go to Nanjing City to find the emperor and find a way to overthrow Xu Xianchun in front of the emperor.

It would be difficult for Han Qi to go to Nanjing alone. He needed someone in Yangzhou to cooperate with him.

Originally, Yangzhou prefect Chen Tang was the most suitable person, but that old guy was very cunning and probably unwilling to get involved in this mess.

Now that all the people in Chentang are gone, it proves that Han Qi's guess is correct, so he wants to bring Chen Zhenglin down as well.

The person who was most closely involved with the Han family in Yangzhou City was Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou Transport Commissioner.

Han Qi believed that Chen Zhenglin was a good person. As long as he could find Chen Zhenglin, he would not ignore him. With Chen Zhenglin's plan and his own strength, there would be no problem.

At this time, in the Jinyiwei Yamen, Xu Xianchun was constantly listening to his subordinates' reports.

Xu Xianchun's face was very serious. He looked at his men who were coming over from a distance and asked, "How is it? Has the Han family made any moves?"

"My lord, there has been some action. Han Qi left the Han family and went to the Transport Commissioner's Office. He is probably going to meet Chen Zhenglin, the Transport Commissioner of Yangzhou." The subordinate said hurriedly.

"Then let's get started." Xu Xianchun stood up and said in a serious tone, "Go and arrest them. Han Qi will be arrested directly inside the Transport Commissioner's Office, and the others will start immediately."
