In the Imperial College Hall.

Lin Zhao was sitting on his desk, holding several manuscripts given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his hand, and was flipping through page by page.

He just returned from Yongjiafang.

Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to stay there for the night, but Lin Zhao insisted on refusing. In no way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent him back. At this time, the other two roommates in the school were all gone, and he was the only one in the school. It was almost the hour of Hai, and the sky outside was already dark. An oil lamp was lit in the school hall and the flames swayed. With the flash of fire, we could see that Lin Zhao's forehead was covered with sweat.

The content written on these manuscripts is too horrifying!

Kang Donglai, the head of the Ministry of Water Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry, colluded with local gentry in the east of Chang'an City, and merged nearly 10,000 acres of land at a low price to build a manor. Kang Donglai alone had seven manors outside the city, and he raised many girls in the manor to make friends with the powerful people in Chang'an.

Almost every night!

Of course, the origin of these girls is not clean. In addition to buying them normally through dentistry and other channels, Kang Donglai also used various means to force the purchase of farm girls in various counties in the capital. In just five years, he has done more than ten evil things like this!

The process of forced buying is naturally not too gentle. In more than a dozen things, eight or nine lives were caused, and Kang Donglai and the local gentry governments were covered up.

In addition to these things, in order to buy land, the Kang family also had conflicts with many farmers.

If all these are normal operations, there is another thing that has already been horrifying!

In the fifth year of Qiande, Han Yougui, the magistrate of Lantian County, Jingzhao Prefecture, was unwilling to cooperate with Kang's family to commit evil deeds in Lantian, and angrily scolded Kang's family for his evil deeds. At the same time, he threatened to report Kang Donglai. As a result, not long after, a fire broke out in Han Yougui's family and the whole family died of misfortune.

For this matter, Jingzhao Prefecture once sent someone to Lantian County to investigate, but the result was still in vain.

Since then, Kang has become more and more arrogant and has made money faster and faster.

In addition to these things, these manuscripts also list Kang's all kinds of evil deeds, and there are more than ten pieces in total, and seven pages are written!

After reading it, Lin Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Since the East Palace dares to take out these things, most of them have already obtained real evidence. Li Xu left Beijing a few days ago, most of them were just to collect evidence.

To be honest, no matter who does these evil things, it will definitely be the result of beheading. However, in this matter, the starting point of the East Palace is not for justice, but for party struggles, and to completely cut off all the tentacles that extend Kang's line into the court!

Therefore, this incident is not simply a criminal incident, but also a political incident. What will happen to Kang in the end depends entirely on the attitude of the saint in the palace, rather than judicial justice.

In fact, as long as it was in the imperial era, the emperor's will must transcend judicial justice.

After reading it, Lin Zhao folded the manuscript papers and sat alone on the chair for more than an hour. It was not until the second half of the night that he couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep in bed.

The next morning, when he just woke up, Qi Xuan and Zhou De's two roommates rushed back from outside. The two sat beside Lin Zhao's bed with smiles on their faces.

Fatty Zhou reached out and patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder, with a rampant smile: "Third brother, you are too light-hearted. Yesterday, I just drank a little more wine, so I lay on the ground with unconsciousness and was outrageously weak!"

"How can you continue to live in Chang'an City in the future?"

Qi Xuan, who was standing beside him, also cheered and said with a smile: "Sanlang's alcohol capacity is really not good. If you hadn't fainted, I would have thought you were pretending to be drunk so that you could avoid the expenses last night."

"that is!"

Fatty Zhou shouted: "Yesterday, it was clearly stated that it was the third brother who treated you, but you both fell to the ground and were taken away by Li Xu. In the end, I went to pay the bill!"

He stared at Lin Zhao and said viciously: "I spent more than 30 chunks of money yesterday. You must pay me back this money, the third brother!"

Faced with the jokes between the two, Lin Sanlang turned a deaf ear to his ears and his face was still a little pale.

Zhou De was the first to find something wrong. He smiled and said, "Sanlang, what's wrong with you? Forty guan coins of money scared you like this? It's amazing that you can pay for your brother!"

Qi Xuan also noticed something wrong with Lin Zhao and whispered: "Sanlang, what happened?"

Lin Zhao then came to his senses, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Two brothers, I may have to move out of this school."

Qi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why?"

"I'm in trouble."

Lin Sanlang looked serious and whispered: "It's a big deal."

Zhou De was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "In Chang'an City, what is the matter that I can't afford to provoke from my family in my house?"

Lin Zhao stood up from the chair, then walked to the entrance of the school hall, closed the door, closed the window, walked to the two roommates, and whispered: "It's not that I can't provoke you, but there is no need for the two brothers to get involved in this matter, and it's not very useful to get involved in this matter. I've gotten involved now, and it's no need for the two brothers to get involved in it."

Hearing this, Qi Xuan had already heard something wrong. He frowned and whispered: "What's going on with the crown prince?"

Lin Zhao did not speak, silently took out the manuscripts from his cabinet and handed them to Qi Xuan's hand, and said in a solemn voice: "Brother Qi can read the matters related to life, but don't tell anyone."

Qi Xuan didn't say anything, reached out to take the few pieces of paper, and after only looking at the first page, his face changed.

After reading the seven-page paper, the royal relative's face was a little unpleasant. He looked at Lin Zhao and asked in a low voice: "Is this...that one gave it to you?"

Lin Zhao nodded silently.

After Qi Xuan was silent for a long time, he handed the manuscript to Lin Zhao and said, "My family really can't get involved in this matter. If I really get involved, it's not a good thing for Sanlang."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhou De beside him and said softly: "I'd better move out. If you leave, I will live here with this fat man, and I will probably be disgusted with each other and will not be able to get along."

Seeing this, Zhou De suddenly felt curious. He stretched out his hand and said, "What did you scare Master Qi to such an extent, and take it to me to show it?"

Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment and was about to hand it over, Qi Xuan, who was standing beside him, had already blocked Lin Zhao and said lightly: "Fatty Zhou, it's better not to see it. I will only tell you one thing. My father will not be willing to interfere in this matter, nor will your father be willing to interfere in."

After hearing this, Zhou De, who had been smiling all the time, became very serious.

Others may not know who Qi Xuan’s father is, but Zhou De knew very well who the husband of the Danyang eldest princess was.

The French governor Qi Shidao!

Although Fan Yang's military strength is far inferior to Shuofang, he is also a serious military boss.

Fatty Zhou thrust his face, then looked at Lin Zhao silently and whispered: "Third brother, it's too dangerous. Why don't I find someone to send you out of Chang'an and avoid it first?"

Lin Zhao shook his head silently and smiled bitterly: "I can't leave."

Fatty Zhou, who has always been lively, rarely calmed down and sighed without saying a word.

Master Qi sighed slightly and said, "If Sanlang is in any danger, he can hide in my house. With my mother here, no matter what, at least he can save your life."

Lin Zhao smiled and said with a smile: "Thank you two brothers. Although I am in this matter, it is just an introduction after all, and there may not be any danger. I just can't pull my two brothers into the water."

Hearing Lin Zhao's words, Qi Xuan and Zhou De sighed at the same time.

In the afternoon, the two of them moved out of the school, leaving only Lin Zhao alone.
