It took a little more than a year to find out all the hidden forces behind Shizhou and Daizhou. Looking back now, it feels like a dream.
"Brother Six, it's really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, if I came here alone, I'm afraid that until now, I would be wandering around these two states without finding any clues."
When this matter was mentioned, Long Lin smiled.
"Eighth brother, actually we are just lucky. There are still some general directions for some things. If there are no people from the imperial court behind us, relying on the people alone will not be able to make a big splash. As long as there are extremely evil and arrogant people, People usually do it behind the scenes, with people from the court supporting them."
"Well, Brother Six, what should we do next?" Long Qian asked.
"Eighth brother, things here are basically settled, and everything has been basically revealed. Although Zhang Quanshan and Zhang Heshun were both killed and silenced by the people behind them, the main person behind them is the one from the Yin Killing Sect. Master Feng, those officials are just pawns at best. After confiscating their family property, they can kill those who deserve it and confiscate those who deserve it."
After Long Lin thought for a while, he said simply.
"Brother Six, with so many officials, the amount of money they have found out this time must not be a small amount. When you return to Beijing this time, Brother Six, your reputation will certainly be able to shock the entire court." Long Gan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Long Lin fell silent.
He actually didn't care about such a prestigious reputation.
The more others take him seriously, the more dangerous he becomes to Long Qi. He is not willing to let brothers kill each other.
But things had come to this point, and he had no choice.
After finding out what happened here, after Long Qian returns to the capital, the emperor will definitely not continue to embarrass Concubine Xuan and save Concubine Xuan's life. Long Qian will feel better in his heart.
After Long Lin thought for a while, he spoke again.
"Eighth brother, we just need to wait for the news about Zhang Rujing about things here. We should take action immediately in Shizhou. The officialdom there is probably the same as here. It must be full of corrupt officials. Mr. Zuo Anmu Zuo wrote a letter asking him to detain those officials immediately and start interrogation."
"Okay, Sixth Brother, I will take care of this matter."
After the meal, everyone returned to the house.
Long Qian and Yan Qin entered a room. He wanted to follow Yudie, but Yudie was not polite at all and locked him out.
In response, Long Lin showed a wry smile and entered a room alone.
Sitting in the room, he poured himself a glass of wine.
After leaving the palace, five years have passed without realizing it. Time flies so fast that it flies by in the blink of an eye.
In five years, everything seems to have changed quietly.
There were more and less people around him. He no longer had the peaceful and unrestrained life in the palace. He was busy all day long.
Think about how comfortable those years were when I was a child.
The more contacts I have, the more worries I have.
From the time when Concubine Xuan was poisoned, when he witnessed the corpses of Concubine Xuan's family being murdered, until now, how many people have lost their lives in front of his eyes.
The number of people and the cruelty of the scene make me feel frightened just thinking about it.
In the years to come, we still don’t know how many ups and downs there will be, and we don’t know how many people will lose their lives.
Beside him, the Ghost King has died, but what happens next? Will there be others? Or even himself, will he also lose his life?
It turns out that death is so close to a person.
The major events in Shizhou and Daizhou are already clear, that is, Master Feng, together with Zhang Quanshan and Zhang Heshun, secretly dug iron ore in the two states, then smelted it into weapons and armor, and sold them to the Huns.
He still doesn't know how gold and silver are distributed, but presumably everyone, big and small, should have a share, and the returning common people also brought a certain amount of silver with them.
Although it is reselling, after all, it is just some weapons and armor. Even if the silver sold is a lot of money, the value is limited after all. If it is divided on such a large scale and with a large number of people, how much silver will fall into the hands of Master Feng?
If it is for wealth, do those common people still want silver? It is absolutely impossible. The amount of silver taken by officials, big and small, must be limited, but he feels that the bulk of the money falls into the hands of these people, and that Young Master Feng
, probably only took a small part.
To transport weapons and gold and silver, all the roads must be opened up, and I'm afraid it will still cost a lot of money. If you calculate it this way, Master Feng will probably have very little left in his hands.
If you look at it this way, it must not be for money.
If it's not for money, then it's for some other purpose.
It is easy to imagine the reason why the Xiongnu spent a lot of money to buy silver. They were already eyeing the Central Plains and wanted to attack and completely occupy the Central Plains. In their view, the money they spent could still be taken back in the future.
That's probably what Master Feng's purpose is too.
The two armies are fighting, and Master Feng reaps the benefits. This is probably Master Feng's ultimate goal.
Apart from these? Are there other layouts?
It is probably completely impossible to live an peaceful life as a prince.
His heart was filled with a bitter feeling for a while.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying. It is never clear who he is? How many back-ups have he prepared?
The matter between Shizhou and Daizhou is just his opinion.
Zhang Quanshan was suddenly killed by Yu San. He was not sure whether Yu San was one of Master Feng's. Zhang Heshun was killed at home by the whole family. He had no idea whether it was Master Feng who did it.
Until now, Master Feng has hardly revealed anything.
Even Master Feng's name was learned from Chu Yuxing.
What a powerful person. He was able to do whatever he wanted in the world ruled by the Dragon Dynasty. It was simply unimaginable.
...
The matters in Shizhou and Daizhou were quickly settled, and as much as six hundred taels of gold and silver were found.
Under the strict investigation of Zhang Rujing and Zuo Anmu, all the officials from the two places were quickly accounted for.
One by one, officials finally bowed their heads and confessed. Those who had embezzled huge amounts were beheaded by the two men in front of the people. After their property was confiscated, all their relatives were sent to the army. After the confiscation, the remaining small-time embezzlers were also sent to the army.
All the officials, large and small, in the two states were basically wiped out. Even the village chiefs were also implicated. The number of people was shocking. Long Lin couldn't believe such a major case.
But when it's time to be ruthless, you must be ruthless. No one was let off easily, and they all received the sanctions they deserved.
Long Lin was very satisfied with Zhang Rujing's performance, so he continued to act as the governor of Daizhou and handle Daizhou's affairs.
The final decision is just waiting for the appointment from the court.
