Zhao Ning read Gao Qiu's report and said, "You mean, this matter is not driven by the Jin people's meticulous work?"

"There is currently no evidence that it is the work of the Jin people," Gao Qiu said.

"I remember that Li Hui resigned a long time ago and retired."

"Although he has retired, he has been living in Tokyo and has close contacts with officials."

"Then how to ensure that what Wang Fu said is true?"

"I sent someone to Li Hui's residence to inquire. It is true that Wang Fu often comes in and out of Li Hui's residence."

Zhao Ning began to think deeply.

Gao Qiu thought for a moment and reminded: "Your Majesty, Li Hui and Cai Xianggong are very close."

"Are you saying that Xianggong Cai was behind this incident?"

"No, no, I didn't say that." Gao Qiu immediately denied it.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I just want to remind you that Li Hui has retired, but his network of connections is deep, and the involvement may be quite large, and it will have a great influence on the court situation."

Zhao Ning knew what Gao Qiu meant.

Li Hui has been retreating for a long time. If it is really Li Hui, then this is a counterattack by the old military and political forces taking advantage of the unfavorable battle situation in Anbei Mansion?

No, it may not be that simple.

Gao Qiu continued: "The military report from Anbei Prefecture is sent to the capital. It is top secret. Although it is not as tragic as Wang Fu said, but Wang Fu can talk nonsense in Fanlou, he must have heard the gossip. From this point of view,

Li Hui told him, so as a retired official, how did Li Hui know about it?"

Zhao Ning said: "The only people who know about Anbei Mansion's military report are a few prime ministers and a few people from the Military and Political Council."

"So I believe that this matter is caused by someone inside the court who is adding fuel to the flames."

"who?"

"I don't know."

Gao Qiu had his own answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. After all, it involved those in the power center of the Song Dynasty.

If he guesses wrong and makes the matter bigger again, he won't be able to bear the consequences and walk away.

"Your Majesty, do you want to check on Li's return?"

Zhao Ning spoke very implicitly, saying: "Everyone must be given an explanation for this matter."

As soon as Gao Qiu walked out of Wende Hall, he saw a familiar figure.

"Xiangong Qin, when did you return to Beijing?" Gao Qiu quickly went over and bowed.

"Lieutenant Gao, long time no see." Qin Hui had a spring breeze-like smile on his face.

"Xianggong Qin looks very good."

"Thanks to Lieutenant Gao."

"No, I have something to do. Please take my leave first."

"Lieutenant Gao, walk slowly."

After Gao Qiu left, Qin Hui walked into the Hall of Wende.

"I see your Majesty."

"When did you arrive in the capital?"

"I just arrived early this morning."

"I don't want to spend time with my family."

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and I am always thinking about sharing your worries for Your Majesty."

"Do you know about your son Qin Xi?"

"I heard that he brought it upon himself. I want to sever the father-son relationship with him."

"There is nothing we can do to deal with him. We have to give an explanation to others."

"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."

"Has the matter on Jiangnan West Road been dealt with?"

Qin Hui took out a summary, presented it, and said: "Not only Jiangnan West Road, but also the new agricultural policies of Liangzhe Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road have been dealt with."

"There's no conflict with the tea plantation, right?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have taken care of everything and everything will be fine."

"Well, you did a good job." Zhao Guanjia nodded and said nothing.

Qin Hui reported some trivial things in the south in detail.

Including how the big local households opposed the New Deal, how they came up with countermeasures, and how Qin Hui dealt with it perfectly.

In Qin Hui's selective report, the New Deal in the South became a wonderful story of Qin Hui's battle of wits and courage with those die-hards.

But in fact, there is another version in Zhao Guan's family: Qin Hui eliminated dissidents in the south and used various black methods to kill all those who were disobedient.

In short, the blood of conspiracy flows from every pore of Qin Hui.

Zhao Ning did not expose him on the spot, and even some memorials from Jianyuan and Yushitai were still suppressed by him.

Zhao Ning didn't even mention it.

After all, Qin Hui had just made a great contribution. At least the big households in the south were defeated by him. The amount of grain collected by the court increased, and the amount of grain sold from the south through the trade routes also increased significantly.

Overall, the Zhao Guan family is satisfied.

"I've worked hard on you during this time."

"This is what I should do."

Seeing that Zhao Guanjia was silent, Qin Hui was silent for a moment and said, "I will leave first."

"Well, go back and have a good rest. I will reward you generously."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Hui left Wende Palace with satisfaction and returned to Qin Mansion.

Mrs. Wang made tea for Qin Hui and said with emotion: "Can Xi'er come back?"

"Don't be anxious about this matter, wait for His Majesty's reward."

"Lu Yihao is now making waves in the capital, not to mention how arrogant he is." Wang said, "His people have also formed a large-scale caravan in Hebei, and there are also his people on Jingdong East Road. Many ships travel to Goryeo, and he has earned a lot of money.

earned a lot."

"It's not necessarily him who made the money, but it certainly has something to do with him." Qin Hui's voice was cold, and he picked up the tea cup and asked, "I heard that a man named Wang Fu was making nonsense in Fanlou a few days ago?"

"That's it." Wang gave an overview of what happened in the past few days.

"It was Lu Yihao who did it!" Qin Hui said.

"Lu Yihao?" Wang was stunned, "Why did he do that?"

"No need to ask why, he just sent someone to do it." Qin Hui said in a deep voice, "I know this Wang Fu, and I will arrange someone to handle this matter."

"How to deal with it?"

"Buy the relevant people and point fingers at Lu Yihao."

At noon, Gao Qiu led people to Li Hui's mansion while eating iced drinks.

Gao Qiu was still thinking about how to interrogate Li Hui and how to get out what Li Hui said.

After all, if Li Hui is stubborn and can't ask anything, he will be in trouble.

Is it torture to extract a confession, or coercion and inducement?

He Bin suddenly asked: "Captain Gao, Wang Fu asked us when we would release him?"

"Let him go?" Gao Qiu asked doubtfully.

"He said that you gave him the appointment letter from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and said..."

"What! He even dared to forge the appointment letter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Gao Qiu was shocked.

He Bin understood immediately.

While they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the door of Li Hui's mansion.

He Bin said: "In fact, it is enough for the lower officials to come and arrest Li Hui. It is not necessary for Gao Taiwei to come in person."

"You don't understand, this matter involves a lot..." Gao Qiu said solemnly, "This case is difficult, and it is not easy to get Li Hui to speak the truth."

As soon as Gao Qiu finished speaking, he saw someone running out of the door of Li Hui's mansion.

It was a woman. The woman yelled: "You damn ghost! How dare you go behind my back to find a woman! You want to marry that coquettish fox back home! I will never let you go! I'm going to the imperial city now."
