Zhao Zhao did not continue to think about what had just happened. He knew that Ye Tan must have other things to do with him, so he stood there waiting for Ye Tan to give him an answer. He was grateful to such a young governor, and he was nothing but

He is just an ordinary handyman and policeman. According to the past rules, he would have to be at least fifty years old before he could achieve anything. It is more likely that he will be like this all his life. However, he did not expect that he would participate in Songzhou.

After the training, he actually passed the exam and now has such a status. The food at home and some benefits in the village have also increased. He is now a hero in their village.

Because of this, he was even more in awe of Ye Tan.

"Sit down, I have something to ask you." Ye Tan looked at Zhao Zhao who was still standing there and said with a smile. Then when he sat down, he joked, "Why, are you scared by the Kong family?"

?Did he hurt you?"

"I don't have the strength to restrain the chicken. How is it possible? Just don't drive it. I'm afraid you'll be sad when you get home this time."

The first half of Zhao Zhao's sentence was contempt, and the second half was sympathy. With such relatives, sometimes you really don't know what to do. If you don't help, people say you should help. You feel sorry for yourself. No wonder someone

I have said that sometimes this is the case in this world. For some things, it is either a matter of being afraid of trouble or not. It is better not to cause trouble than to do a good thing. This is absolutely true.

"Okay, let them handle their affairs. You know why you are here, right?" Ye Tan doesn't want to get involved. Since the last incident in Yejiacun, his methods have made them all aware of Ye Tan's temper.

, I don’t dare to act recklessly, but I don’t know what will happen in the future.

"I know, it's a matter of children being abducted. It's all due to incompetence." Zhao Zhao naturally knows that other matters can be solved, but this is not easy now.

"Tell me everything you know." Ye Tan didn't think this guy was an easy talker. There might be something he didn't know.

"This incident started when the governor left Songzhou. Before, I didn't think there was anything special about it, because this kind of thing had happened before. But then, I discovered a strange phenomenon.

, these people's techniques are very professional, just like the craftsmanship passed down from their ancestors, and they did not keep the children locally, but shipped them out. Later I found out that they seemed to be related to the disappeared Xiang family.

"

"Xiangjia, Xiangjia from Yangzhou?"

Ye Tan asked in a slightly higher voice, "This is good news."

The Xiang family in the late Sui Dynasty was a strange existence, especially Xiang Yushan and his father Xianggui. They were both strange people. They relied on casinos and brothels, but secretly they were one of the providers of beautiful women to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. However,

Well, after Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died, they defected to Xiao Mian at that time and provided him with information. However, Xiao Mian was defeated and surrendered in the fourth year of Wude, and was taken to Chang'an to be executed. He died at the age of thirty-nine.

It's gone, and the final end of a family like them won't be any better.

It seems that the Xiang family is not that simple, and it requires the help of other people, because Xianggui and Xiangyushan have died long ago and are unlikely to appear again, but this method is not simple.

"Yes, Lord Governor, but I have no clue about this matter. I don't know how to find it." Zhao Zhao also scratched his head. This kind of news is no longer simple news, but he doesn't know how to deal with it because he has it in his hands.

The intelligence network is not enough to cover these, and I don’t know how many years they have been in business.

"Then how did you get such news?" Ye Tan asked strangely. Since you don't know how to find it, why did such a thing happen? Isn't this very strange?

"Originally, I had no clue, but recently I found out that there were a lot of people among the prostitutes in Songzhou, so I thought not to alert the snake, but to investigate carefully, but I found that these people are not only doing prostitution, but also doing business.

, but this business has nothing to do with Songzhou and does not pay taxes. Therefore, the official paid more attention and found that these people always took the carriage out at night. Although the black carriage

It's not big, but it's wrapped tightly. It's summer now and it's very hot. Under normal circumstances, even if there are some ladies from wealthy families who go out, they usually don't choose to go out at night. At the same time, they don't wrap it so tightly because it's too tight.

, easily get frustrated, so I once found information and followed them, and found that their defense was extremely tight, and their methods were very professional, and there would be someone to help them wherever they went, and they discovered this."

After Zhao Zhao finished speaking, he took out a small black bag from his pocket. After opening it, there was a white handkerchief or something like that. He opened it slowly and put it on the table. Under the sun, Ye Tan found that there was something like a white handkerchief on it.

Some fine yellow particles are very small, almost the size of rice grains, and they are the kind of millet.

She looked up at him in confusion and asked, "What is this?"

"This is incense. It was used to abduct and traffic women in the past, but they mostly used sweat medicine. It tastes bad and the effect is not good. As for this thing, don't look at it. It only has this. Let me try it.

After passing it, even a cow can be stunned, and there is no peculiar smell at all. It is simply the best thing, and the price of this kind of thing will not be very low." Zhao Zhao still knows something, so he has it.

previous conjecture.

"Have you picked up Ruinan from Songzhou Hospital?" Ye Tan took a look and suddenly thought that he is the most knowledgeable person in medicine in Songzhou. In addition, he also gave him the Compendium of Materia Medica. Now he is

He is also a powerful character, but I don’t know who is higher than Sun Simiao. Anyway, Sun Simiao probably doesn’t know about some of the methods of modern medicine.

"The Governor is the Governor. As expected, I got this immediately and sent it over. His husband said that this thing should belong to the formula in the palace in the past and was used to subdue disobedient slaves or evildoers.

, but this formula should have been lost for many years. He didn’t understand why it appeared. He didn’t know it at first, but one of their ancestors was an imperial doctor. He happened to encounter this thing, and only once. The medicinal materials were very good.

It's so rare, I heard that it can only be made if there is an aquatic plant in Dongting Lake that can be used as a medicinal primer, so I thought about Xianggui and Xiangyu Mountain."

Seeing him flattering and explaining at the same time, Ye Tan's mind started to spin rapidly. These things are not a simple matter. The current Dongting Lake is also near Ziyuezhou and belongs to the future Jiangnan West Road. Although there is

The land is fertile, but the worst thing is that there are too many water bandits. Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, no one is in the mood to do these things. Moreover, I heard that Yuezhou still has no governor, only one other, Guan Tinglong, who is obsessed with face.

This guy can only survive now, because as long as he makes those water thieves uncomfortable, they will come to make trouble. The dilapidated Yuezhou has no way to protect these people.

"Dongting Lake, do you know what's the most there?" Ye Tan sighed and asked. He knew that Li Shimin would deal with the people there sooner or later, but would there be any problems if he went there this time?

"What?" Zhao Zhao has never been there, so he doesn't know.

"Water thieves, I heard that 90% of the population there are water thieves. Some people are good people during the day, but come out to rob homes at night. It seems that this time the matter is not that simple." Ye Tan

Think more. Although those water thieves are a legacy of history, if there is no support from the big family, more things will definitely happen. I have heard of the term murderous people, but have you heard of water thieves?

Are copycats also fake?

The problem here is not only that, if he really wants to go out, he has to give Li Shimin a break, otherwise it is inappropriate for him to run around as a governor, so he needs to think about it.

"There are so many, wouldn't they be all over the mountains and plains?" Zhao Zhao filtered his mind and felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. "Hey, darling, they are all water thieves. Although it is big there, it doesn't mean that they are really fearless."

Ah, with so many water thieves, how can we survive? At this moment, he wanted to persuade Ye Tan not to care about this matter, but he knew it was impossible because Songzhou's children were still being lost.

This matter is not something that Ye Tan can understand and accept.

Songzhou added a lot of things to the laws of the Tang Dynasty that they considered very strange. For example, before the age of eighteen, men and women could not have sex. If they did, they would be pulled out.

Parade, everyone thought that such a thing was impossible before, because it has been this way for hundreds of years. Whoever dares to do this will be the enemy of the world. But when a wealthy businessman was dragged out by Ye Tan to parade

, at the same time, when the so-called questions and requests from doctors mentioned later, the wealthy businessman with some background disappeared in Songzhou. Later, some people also came to Ye Tan to talk about such problems. They thought it was unreasonable, but Ye Tan

Tan was kicked out directly. The embarrassing thing has been done. Do you still want to be fair and aboveboard?

"Yes, so we have to check this matter. You should go back now and collect all the information that may appear recently. After I see the construction site in Songzhou, I will go outside with you to take a look.

Look, if this matter is not resolved, I won't be able to eat or sleep well." Ye Tan's expression didn't look like he was just saying empty words, while Zhao Zhao asked doubtfully, "Where is this, Your Majesty?"

"Ye Liu, take my post immediately and go to Chang'an." Ye Tan wrote a copy casually. Soon Ye Liu came out, took the things and went out. A horse from the Yamen went out, and on the way

He did not avoid people at all and left Songzhou, which made people feel very strange.

"Also, let me find a way to figure out all those prostitutes. In Songzhou, you can have a hundred wives, but this is not allowed to exist. If anyone dares to turn a blind eye, it will not be difficult for me to get these people out.

There should be many people from various counties wanting to come up now, right?"

Ye Tan stared at him and said these words, which made Zhao Zhao's previous luck disappear. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will handle this matter well."

"Okay, go down. I will tell you when you leave." Ye Tan knew that it would take at least seven days before he could leave, because the people he still had to face were several county magistrates, Liao Yawei and others.

After Zhao Zhao left, Ye Tan collected all the previous events and opinions, and then sighed. Being an official is really tiring. Watching people playing around and making trouble everywhere feels good, but it is a pity that he

If he can't do it, it's not because he is such a gentleman, but because Ye Tan himself is a very disciplined person.

In addition to these things, Songzhou now has another thing that is the execution ability of various states and counties, which makes him a little worried. Sometimes when people are full, they will not be grateful and will only ask for more. Such people are

There were so many of them in the past and now, and they were taken for granted.

Ye Tan didn't go anywhere in the afternoon. Instead, he dealt with things in the Yamen and slept there at night. Early the next morning, governors from several places came in. Looking at their looks, it was clear that they had recently

My life was going well, and I gave Ye Tan a smile when I saw him. However, they came here early in the morning and didn't even eat. Ye Tan invited them to have breakfast together. The other people were in a good mood, but only

Mao Wenwen of Dading garrison always felt that something was wrong with the way Ye Tan looked at him. What did he mean?

After dinner, Ye Tan took them for a walk in the yard before going to the main hall. After sitting down, Ye Tan looked at Mao Wen and said, "County Magistrate Mao, how have you been lately?"

Tang Sheng, Pan Wei and Gao Yuan all wondered why Ye Tan would ask such a question, because such a question should not be like this. However, Mao Wenwen still said with a ruddy face, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Governor, Dading garrison is still good.

The population has increased a lot recently, and the people's lives have become much better."

"Really? Then I have to congratulate you, right, Magistrate Mao?" Ye Tan's originally smiling face suddenly turned into a strange expression, as if he was looking for trouble, which made Mao

Wen Wen's smile froze on his face, he didn't know where he had offended the governor.

Others also found it strange that Ye Tan was usually very generous, but what was it for today?

"You just said that the population there has increased a lot, by how much?" Ye Tan then asked, still looking bad.

"Well, in the past few months, the number of people has increased by more than 300. This was impossible in the past, especially during the years of disaster." Mao Wenwen's words are correct. In the years of disaster, escaping from famine is the only way out.

But now, not only is the population not less, but it is more, and this is all due to ourselves.

"Really? These people are all newborns?" Ye Tan continued to ask, it would be meaningless if they came from other places, because anyone can do such a thing. If anyone can do this,

If you can make it, what do I need from you?

"They are all newborns." Mao Wenwen stroked the beard on his chin and said proudly.

"Then why did I hear that some people disobeyed discipline and acted recklessly, causing the death of many children?" Ye Tan could be said to have gritted his teeth when he said this, causing Mao Wenwen to blurt out in a moment, "How is that possible?
