After coming out of the palace, Shi Guangtao returned to his usual neither sadness nor joy, but he felt vaguely uneasy inside.
The "business" of human tissue trading is too profitable. Although it is not visible to the public, it is a business without capital, so that countless people take risks and slowly form a huge profit chain.
He, Shi Guangtao, was not only an insider, but also a participant, and even one of the people who protected this terrible incident!
As the Minister of Dali Temple, the highest official in criminal cases in the country, how could he not know about the secret plundering of large numbers of people for human tissue trading? After all, this is not an exception, and all major local cases must be reported to him.
It was reported to the department. It can be said that if he had not participated in it and became one of the asylum seekers, how could this bad incident have not attracted official attention until now?
It's just that he suppressed all the cases related to this incident.
But he is only one of the people involved in the asylum. There are people with higher status above him, and there are more than one. He, Shi Guangtao, is just at the top of the chain of interests. He is one of the people responsible for directly intervening in this incident to eliminate his influence.
, if something happens to the big net below, he will be the first to be implicated!
Unlike the people above, they were sitting back and enjoying the greatest benefits, but they had no explicit direct connection with this matter. Even if the incident was exposed, it would be difficult to implicate them.
Everyone is not a fool. They know what the consequences will be if this matter capsizes, and they are trying their best to get rid of the involvement while enjoying the benefits.
Shi Guangtao is no exception. He did not directly come forward to suppress the case caused by the human tissue trade. He tried his best to put himself aside. I am afraid that the criminal network below did not even know that he was one of the asylum seekers. Shi Guangtao even prepared it in advance.
As a scapegoat, he has prepared several plans on how to escape once the incident breaks out!
No one is born evil. Shi Guangtao was once an upright man with ideals and ambitions. He was upright, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of Minister of Dali Temple.
His involvement in this matter was due to an accident. He was nearly sixty years old and had only one son at his knees. He was a very precious child, but as fate would have it, his son was born with a bad heart. He had been raised in a medicine jar since he was a child and could not have mood swings.
Too big, otherwise there is a risk of death.
For the sake of his son, he searched all kinds of famous doctors, but nothing improved. When the medical technique of surgical transplantation was promoted in the imperial court, he saw hope of curing his son.
However, human tissue is scarce under normal circumstances, let alone a heart suitable for his son? Such a suitable heart is usually hard to come by, and even if he is in a high position, it is not something he can get if he wants it.
Originally, he could wait for this kind of thing. After saying hello, as long as there was a suitable one, he would definitely be given priority to a powerful person like him. However, his son did not give him much time to wait. As a result, he was so excited that he almost moved to the next door.
Save a long time.
During that time, he was very anxious. By chance, a case related to human tissue trading was placed on his desk. At first, he planned to handle the case impartially, but he remained silent.
After struggling for the sake of his son, he easily contacted the people involved in human tissue trading without even coming forward.
Soon after, his son's illness recovered.
Originally, at this time, he could just withdraw and continue to be his just and strict minister of Dali Temple, but after all, he was involved in this matter because of his son. How big is that group of people? They followed the clues to find him, and then he got deeply involved.
As he got deeper and deeper, he also received huge benefits from those criminal gangs. It is difficult to be an official in the capital. After enjoying the benefits, he could no longer escape.
Destiny is such a thing, a combination of circumstances and a little bit of reason can completely change a person's life...
Because of the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, these thoughts flashed through Shi Guangtao's mind. At the same time, he was also seriously thinking about how to put aside his plans after this incident broke out. Although he had arranged many back-ups, he was still uneasy, as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark all the time.
Keep an eye on his every move.
After Yunjing's booklet was thrown away by the previous prince, Shi Guangtao picked it up and put it in his sleeve. He seemed to have a heavy mountain in his sleeve.
There are many cases related to the human tissue trade that harms people's lives, but in the past, they have never been able to personally intervene at his level. They deliberately suppressed the relevant matters and did not cause any turmoil at all.
But now someone actually sorted out this matter and sent it to him. This has never happened before.
There is not much content in the booklet. The entire human tissue trading incident can be said to be the tip of the iceberg, or even just something that happened somewhere. In Shi Guangtao's opinion, someone took the risk and took it into his own hands after learning some information.
He wanted the court to take it seriously, but the other party didn't know that he was a participant!
So since the other party can get it into his hands, he can send it to the Inspectorate or the Ministry of Punishment. Although those two departments have the same participants as himself, they are not the top leaders. They cannot cover the sky with one hand. Once they attract attention...
Therefore, this matter must be suppressed immediately, and the people behind it must be dealt with!
The big guys above maintain their own identity and don't have direct contact and don't care at all, so it can only be solved by people like him.
Shi Guangtao, who was thinking a lot, returned to his residence and already had something to worry about.
He asked: "Who is responsible for maintaining stability in the capital now?"
"My lord, this is General Qin. Now that Mr. Deng has passed away, too many people from all over the world have gathered in the capital. He has been ordered to have 500,000 guards to maintain the stability of the capital. In addition, Yingtang and the police are fully cooperating."
Upon hearing the answer, Shi Guangtao nodded slightly.
General Qin is Qin Antai, a veteran of Dali. He has been a lifelong soldier. His most glorious achievement was when he led the three armies in the Northern Expedition a few years ago. In the end, Dali won. Regardless of what the key to victory was in that battle, his contribution was
Can't be erased.
Shi Guangtao knew something about Qin Antai. He was a pure soldier who could not tolerate disdain in his eyes. He was a civil servant, so Shi Guangtao and the other party could not urinate together. But now Qin Antai is personally responsible for the stability of the capital...
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Shi Guangtao ordered people to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones to start writing. Soon he wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to his subordinates, saying, "Give it to the general immediately."
"As ordered..."
In the letter, Shi Guangtao had a completely official tone. In the name of Dali Temple, he explained that there were many people in the capital at present. In order to ensure that Master Deng's funeral could go smoothly and avoid trouble, he hoped that General Qin would strengthen his vigilance and it would be best to implement a curfew immediately.
Considering that many people are sleeping on the streets, those people should be strictly monitored. Regarding the strengthening of security and curfew, Shi Guangtao stated in the letter that His Majesty will give permission at the meeting tomorrow.
It is not strange for him to communicate with Qin Antai like this, after all, it is all for the sake of the current stability of the capital.
But this is just a part of Shi Guangtao's solution to hidden dangers, and it is still an insignificant part. When Qin Antai becomes serious, it will be much easier for him to find out who is behind the trouble.
Again, a fool cannot sit in Shi Guangtao's position. After the servant sent the letter, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Browsing through the brochure sent by Yunjing again, the contents about the bad incidents of human tissue trading are almost all from Jiangzhou. What does this mean? It means that 80% of the people who sent this thing are from Jiangzhou!
"Jiangzhou..."
When these two words appeared in his mind, Shi Guangtao's eyes flickered. There was no explanation of the place, but there was a place called Niujiao Town in Jiangzhou. In Niujiao Town, there was the mansion of the eldest princess, and there was a mythical cloud scene!
The news that Yun Jing set foot in the mythical realm has long been spread, but for people like Shi Guangtao and others, there is still some doubt. After all, no one with an identity like Huang Changyang came forward to confirm, and Yun Jing did not speak personally.
But no matter what, this is not something Shi Guangtao can provoke, and he will not take that risk.
"No matter whether it is the eldest princess or that person, it is impossible for them to focus on such a trivial matter..."
With this thought in his mind, Shi Guangtao's eyes flashed. He would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. He continued to order: "Come here, I have learned that there are bold people in Jiangzhou who want to do evil. They want to kill someone during the funeral of Mr. Deng."
To cause trouble, order them to go down and find out all the people who have recently entered Beijing from Jiangzhou. All the people in the rivers and lakes will be arrested and imprisoned for strict interrogation. The scholars will be controlled and cleared of suspicion before they can be let go, especially those who are above the True Meaning Mirror.
He is a key target of attention, and I will personally investigate this matter and not reveal anything until the culprit is identified!"
"Follow your orders"
As the Minister of Dali Temple, Shi Guangtao still has great power. Who dares not to take it seriously in the name of someone trying to cause trouble during Master Deng's funeral?
He did not mention the officials from Jiangzhou who came to Beijing. If there were officials who were trying to uncover this matter, they would not secretly report it to him, but directly report it to the court. It is not that no officials have done this before, but the memorial must also be available.
Your Majesty's desk will do.
After the arrangements were made, Shi Guangtao thought that as long as all the people from Jiangzhou who came to Beijing during this period were caught, would it be difficult to catch the suspicious people who came to him to "report" them?
However, just in case, he also arranged for some people who wandered in the gray area to help with the investigation. Sometimes the methods of people in the gray area are more effective than those in the court. If you use both methods, you will not be able to find out who it is. It will take up to two days.
There will be consequences, and the other party's head must be placed in front of you!
No matter how clever you are, you can touch my bedroom silently, but why are you fighting with the entire imperial court?
Yunjing, who was secretly paying attention to Shi Guangtao's every move, admired him a little. Just from his own description, he discovered that the person who "reported" was from Jiangzhou.
Well, this is not difficult to guess. After all, Lin Xingyu was talking about things in Jiangzhou, so it is completely correct to say that Shi Guangtao would target people from Jiangzhou.
Yunjing is originally from Jiangzhou...
Shi Guangtao's actions were enough to show that he must be a participant in human tissue trading. Yunjing continued to watch his performance silently, just to see how many big fish would emerge from him!
As for Shi Guangtao's order to arrest people from Jiangzhou, Yunjing didn't care at all. It wasn't that he didn't care about those people, but Jiangzhou was far away from Taiyuan, the capital. As far as Yunjing knew, the number of people from Jiangzhou who had come to the capital recently was only
Lin Xingyu and his group were there during the day.
Lin Xingyu is now living where he lives, and the others have been arranged to stay in an inn under his name. How can Shi Guangtao or Dali Temple dare to go there to get people no matter how "lawless" they are?
Shi Guangtao's target is the people who have come directly from Jiangzhou recently. As for the earlier tourists or merchants, they are not included. Otherwise, there would be too many people. How could they be busy all at once?
It’s not even that troublesome. The goal is further narrowed down to cultivation level above the True Intent Mirror, and the rest is just in case.
The result was obvious. People from Dali Temple read the list of Jiangzhou people who entered Beijing overnight, and then went to arrest the members who entered Beijing. Soon after, they returned to Shi Guangtao in despair.
"Sir, the people in Jiangzhou can't take it. They live in the inn under that person's name. Now the inn in Beijing is full, and all those people have stayed in that person's inn. It's obviously that person who took special care of it. It concerns that person.
We want to take down all the people in Jiangzhou. To put it bluntly, His Majesty may have to come out and explain to him in person. His subordinates really can’t do it. Why don’t you ask Your Majesty to issue an edict?"
After hearing the report, Shi Guangtao was startled. He never expected that he would be blocked from the beginning in order to find out who reported the report, and that it would also involve that person. He almost went numb.
What should we do? If we don’t find out, it will be a hidden danger after all!
After thinking about it, Shi Guangtao had no choice but to find out who he was concerned with. He felt that it was absolutely necessary to find other people to discuss what to do, and the person he was looking for was undoubtedly someone of similar status, and he was still
One of the asylum seekers of the egregious human tissue trade!
But he can't let anyone know who he's looking for next, otherwise it would be taboo just to touch that person.
So Shi Guangtao said that he understood and would start playing to His Majesty tomorrow. Then he excused himself to rest and withdrew his servants, while he disguised himself and went out at night in civilian clothes.
Soon after, Shi Guangtao found the person he was looking for. After explaining the matter clearly, the other person was silent for a moment and said: "It concerns that person. You have to be careful about any actions that arouse his disgust. It is 80% of the time that someone from Jiangzhou is reporting, and from now on."
As you learned before, the only person who came to Jiangzhou recently was Zhenyi Jing, and he stayed in an inn under his name..."
"Your previous actions were a bit reckless and may have caused that person's displeasure. I know about this matter. I will arrange for someone to solve the problem of the true meaning mirror, but not immediately. Let's wait for two or three days. People from Jiangzhou can't just do it.
Just settle it when you stay. If that person asks, it will cause trouble. Then, there is no need to come to me. Also, we are different after all. I will help you with this kind of thing temporarily, in case you are not from Jiangzhou.
The true meaning mirror, you can figure out the rest yourself!"
Shi Guangtao left quietly after a secret meeting. The biggest suspect at present is the Zhenyi Mirror from Jiangzhou. The other party agreed to help solve the problem so he doesn't have to worry about it himself, but what if it's not that person?
After much deliberation, for the sake of insurance, Shi Guangtao bit the bullet and went to find another person. That person was one of the real bosses behind this incident. He was easier to talk to than the prince at the beginning. As long as he opened his mouth to arrange it, no matter who was there.
Reporting behind your back will go unnoticed!
Shi Guangtao's actions were all under Yun Jing's observation. When he met with the man from Jiangzhou who promised to deal with Zhenyi Jing who stayed at the inn under his name, Yun Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
This is another big fish.
"The master of Yingtang is actually one of the protective umbrellas behind the human tissue trade," Yunjing murmured in his mind.
However, Yunjing is not surprised. The Dali Yingtang department is responsible for keeping an eye on Jianghu forces. Those who dare to plunder people and trade human tissue are almost all people who lick blood from the edge of a knife, so the master of Yingtang becomes a protective umbrella.
No wonder!
Qing of Dali Temple, Master of Eagle Hall, who else could there be? And they are all just people who really do things, and the real boss behind the whole incident is the prince-like existence that Shi Guangtao came into contact with at the beginning. There are definitely more than just such figures.
one!
"What kind of surprises will you give me next?" Yunjing said to himself, waiting to see.
At this point, Yunjing has learned that there are three protective umbrellas behind the human tissue trade, the Dali Temple Qing, the Yingtangtang Group, and a prince. Which of these people could cause an earthquake by stamping their feet?
And such a person is actually the protective umbrella behind the incident that angers both humans and gods. To be honest, Yunjing seriously doubts whether Emperor Dali can punish them...
If it were a single person, it might not be a big deal, but it was a group of such high-ranking and powerful people!
"How should your Majesty make a decision? Don't let me down too much," Yun Jing thought in his mind.
If Emperor Dali hesitates at that time, Yunjing doesn't mind handling it personally!
That will inevitably lead to a stalemate with the Dali royal family, but so what? Dali needs Yunjing, not Yunjing who needs Dali. If Xia Ziyang is mediocre and unprincipled, Yunjing doesn't mind discussing with Huang Changyang about changing the emperor!
People like Yun Jing and Huang Changyang care about this country and its people, rather than loyalty to the royal family. As long as their starting point is for the good of this country, even changing the emperor is not difficult!
Of course, this kind of matter must be discussed with Huang Changyang. If it is really necessary, the two of them can carry out their decision, but it is still early. Until then, it depends on Xia Ziyang's next performance...
The emperor of the Mythical Realm who is iron-clad and has a life span of 500 years. Who has not experienced several dynasties of emperors?
Time passed little by little, and in the second half of the night Shi Guangtao gave Yunjing another 'surprise'.
In order to be sure, he went to find one of the real bosses behind it, and this person turned out to be the fourth prince Xia Chang!
Xia Chang is only twenty years old now, and his life has just begun. He has already gone to bed. Shi Guangtao came secretly and was not even qualified to see him. However, after hearing the report from his subordinates, Shi Guangtao came here for the human tissue trading incident.
, he secretly met with Shi Guangtao immediately.
It seemed that he attached great importance to this matter, even more than the prince whom Shi Guangtao met at the beginning.
When he learned from Shi Guangtao that there might be something wrong with this matter, Xia Chang muttered: "I know it, just go back and pretend that nothing happened. I will find a way to let the people in Yilou find out what happened."
Whoever solved it will leave the book, which will be useful in finding that person."
After receiving such an answer, Shi Guangtao immediately felt relieved and said goodbye.
If Ant Tower takes action, no matter who it is, there will be no escape!
But the fourth prince actually inserted his hand into the ant building? He is one of the real high-level people behind this incident. It seems that the fourth prince is not willing to be lonely...
Watching all this, Yun Jing thought to himself, "What a good guy, even Xia Ziyang's son is one of the leaders behind this. When the time comes, how will Xia Ziyang make a decision when facing his own son? To destroy the family for the sake of justice?"
Yunjing is not too surprised that Xia Chang is the leader. Without his identity and energy, how could he have suppressed this matter for so long?
Of course, Xia Chang alone is not enough. He also has the identity of the previous prince.
"It's not surprising that Xia Chang participates or even takes the lead. His eldest brother Xia Feng's daughter is married to the Jin family, and he has the huge financial support of the Jin family. The second brother Xia Tao earns his reputation through a relief society. Although he has not moved around recently, he was still with him back then.
There is a friendship, the third prince Xia Mo is not only relying on military power now, but also Huang Changyang's disciple. In comparison, if Xia Chang has ideas about the throne, how can he compete with his brothers above him? And the human tissue trade has brought too much money.
He has made terrible huge profits, and with the support of this wealth, he can't compete with his brothers..."
Thoughts flickered, Yun Jing suddenly thought of many things. It was said that the royal family was ruthless and would do whatever it took to get to that position. Love of relatives was light. Compared to Xia Chang's use of human tissue trading to obtain capital, it was nothing.
Even if he does it well, he will have a better chance of sitting in that position than his brothers. After all, it is one thing for this business to bring wealth. The key is that it is more convenient to win over people. A certain official needs organs to survive? I am satisfied with you.
How can you not be completely devoted to me?
Once a general achieves success, as long as he can get to that position, the process is not important. After the success, the reckoning is again. History is written by living people. Who dares to use such black history to 'slander' the emperor?
Once the emperor and his courtiers, cleaning them up will be enough to resolve this outrageous matter. At that time, the world will be restored to a peaceful world, which will help spread one's majesty and stabilize the throne. The thing that achieves multiple things with one stone is just an improvement now.
It’s just a tool for advancement!
"The fourth prince, Xia Chang, is secretly planning something secretly. If Xingyu hadn't mentioned it, you might have had hope of success in the end. After all, you did it secretly, and usually in the mythical realm, you'll be fine after you've eaten enough.
Will you focus on such 'little things'?"
He thought to himself, to be honest, if Lin Xingyu and Yun Jing hadn't mentioned this matter, he wouldn't have noticed it. After all, at his level, he was thinking about such big things as the dangers of other countries' mythological realms and even curses.
Looking at the common people all over the world, how can such a "small fight" attract attention?
In Xia Chang's mansion, when Shi Guangtao left and he was alone, perhaps because there was no one else around, the above gloomy smile flashed across Xia Chang's face, and then he took out a twin flower to contact someone.
After contacting the other party, Xia Chang said: "Brother, my dear brother, you can still sleep. If someone wants to mess up the son-in-law's business that you asked me to help take care of, there will be heavy losses... I'm not just listening.
The news has spread. Once they achieve their goal, how can you compare with the current momentum of the second brother? Okay, okay, I will inform Yilou in your name to investigate who is targeting you. Don’t worry, brother, you are my first wife.
Big brother of compatriots, if I don’t help you, who will I help?”
After cutting off contact, Xia Chang looked indifferent. How could he still have the enthusiasm when talking to Brother Qin before?
Yun Jing couldn't help but wonder, this Xia Chang has something special. He is obviously headed by his eldest brother, the eldest prince, but secretly he is seeking benefits for himself.
Even Yunjing has reason to believe that Xia Chang did the human tissue trading incident in the name of his eldest brother. He took the benefits and blamed his eldest brother for taking the blame. Even if one day the incident happened, he could still shout that he was wronged and it was all his eldest brother.
If necessary, he can directly expose his eldest brother and kill him directly!
After all, he is just a little boy standing behind the eldest prince and waving flags, so what bad intentions can he have?
Yunjing sighed in his heart, there is no fuel-efficient lamp.
But you don’t know that ‘there is a god three feet above your head’?
