Very unexpectedly, the visitor from the Xia family turned out to be an old man.
He bowed tremblingly and looked like he couldn't get up from his knees. Lin Yutong asked Tianfu to help him up and gave him a seat.
Xia Yinshan sat down and said, "Your Highness, are the common people here to take the blame?"
Tian Fu whispered in Lin Yutong's ear: "I just got the news that Xia Jinhe, the head of the Xia family, died of illness."
Lin Yutong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Yinshan sharply: "Oh? I am guilty. Then tell me, what crime should be committed?"
"To kill the nine tribes is an unforgivable crime." Xia Yinshan finished speaking calmly, and then added: "But the ants still live in vain, and the common people also want to earn a life for their family, old and young."
"Yeah." Lin Yutong smiled, "God also has the virtue of good life, and I am not a murderer. Tell me, what are you going to give in exchange for the lives of the Xia family?"
Xia Yinshan was silent for a long time before saying: "The Xia family... has the account books of various wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River in summer... I am not afraid of His Highness's jokes. The poor son of Cao Min has really worked hard to become the richest man in the world...
How much money, land and shops does a family have? As an outsider, he probably knows more details than the head of that family."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: You have really worked hard.
Xia Yinshan lowered his head: "The common people know that His Highness has doubts, and the common people are not talking nonsense. The Xia family has detailed records of these, and there are account books for inspection. Your Highness has seen the evidence and understands everything."
Um!
If the government and businessmen collude and rob the business, then there will be evidence of official corruption.
"Where's the evidence?" Lin Yutong raised his eyes and asked him.
Xia Yinshan took out a bunch of keys with trembling hands, "They are all in the Xia family's ancestral grave... The old housekeeper is waiting outside, so His Highness just needs to send someone to get them."
And someone in the Xia family has just died. No matter how many people go to the ancestral grave, how many cars they bring, or how much noise they make, they will not arouse suspicion. This old man is really a number one person.
Lin Yutong signaled Tianfu to come forward and took the key. Then he didn't leave anyone behind. His son died in his family. Although the timing of his death couldn't be more coincidental. But the person was already dead. How did he die?
As long as the Xia family presented evidence, there was nothing worth pursuing. She only signaled Tianfu to send the person away, and then gave him a clear message: "...the first culprit must be eliminated, and the remaining culprits must be free of other crimes."
Being on record means no guilt. All assets will be recovered, and only the illegal gains will be recovered..."
Xia Yinshan raised his head and looked at Lin Yutong in astonishment: "Take back the illegal gains?"
What does recovery of illegal gains mean? Shouldn’t it mean confiscation of property?
"I'm not a bandit, and I can't do anything by force." Lin Yutong reassured him, "As long as you do business honestly and pay taxes properly, the money is yours. No one has the right.
snatch."
With a sleepwalking expression on his face, Xia Yinshan knelt down mechanically: "Your Highness is wise..."
Which of the wealthy businessmen from ancient times to the present has fallen into the trap? All they want is this.
Tianfu helped the man up, and Lin Yutong asked again: "As far as I know, the Xia family suddenly stood out from the crowd of merchants, and it has something to do with a woman. Is it true?"
this……
Xia Yinshan stiffened for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I dare not deceive His Highness. It's... it's true! The Xia family... the Xia family's method of making salt came from a woman... However, I have never seen her again in these years.
This woman..."
"Oh?" Lin Yutong was confused: "The method of making salt...was given to you for free?"
"No...it's not..." Xia Yinshan shook his head, "Using the method of making salt she gave me, 30% of the profit was deposited in Hengchang Pawnshop, and the other party only needs to get the seal to take it away. We have also attracted people's attention.
We paid attention to the person who took the title, but the person who took the title was different every time, and there was no pattern. It still took us several years to be sure that this woman...should be in the palace..."
In the palace?
After Lin Yutong took it to heart, he nodded to Tianfu, indicating that he could send the person away.
After everyone left, the third lady came out of the inner room and said, "It seems that woman is still in the palace."
"Is she Concubine Hua?" Lin Yutong asked Sanniangzi. She didn't believe that she had not suspected it.
Sanniangzi shook her head: "I'm not sure, but I think it was. Back then, the woman who claimed to be Xiao Longnu fell in love with Taishi Yin... But Taishi Yin had a wife and children at the time... Taishi Yin was determined not to divorce his wife.
, he had a close friendship with the then commander of our Wuzhisi Division. Both of them thought this woman was ominous, so they sent people to kill her... I thought that the matter would be over, but I didn't want to wait for the Wuzhesi Division.
The massacre that comes to mind. What we have left now are the survivors of that massacre. I thought I didn’t even know what happened. But later, Concubine Li was taken into the palace and she was loved very much.
Out of habit, I secretly sent people to check the past of this Concubine Li. There was nothing surprising at all. Her appearance could only be said to be somewhat pretty. She owned two silk and satin shops and a hundred acres of farmland at home. There was really no trace of her.
What a favored capital. The only thing that attracts attention is that Concubine Li was seriously ill before. It is said that after she recovered, the Li family invited monks and Taoists to chant sutras at home, saying it was to drive away evil spirits... As for who was possessed by the evil spirit and how
Evil. The people of the Li family were tight-lipped about this and did not find out. However, they could guess some clues when they saw the Li family's behavior later. The Li family got the title of captain because of Concubine Li, but their family,
Even Concubine Li's parents are not close to her. No matter what important day it is, the Li family has made all kinds of excuses and has never been to the palace for so many years. It's not as simple as not being close to her, it's just that they are not close to her at all.
No contact. Your Highness, do you think this is normal?"
Unless someone finds out, that girl is no longer his daughter.
Lin Yutong seemed to have heard someone say that since the emperor got Concubine Li, he and Concubine Li had been living a small life. In the palace, men farmed and women weaved. Thinking about it, Concubine Li during this period should be that woman.
But when did this woman abandon Concubine Li's skin again, who knows?
Is the premature death of Yin Bofang's wife related to this woman? Hua Yingxue was raised in the Yin family, was she really just Hua Yingxue?
These mysteries can only be explained clearly by Emperor Xuanping and Uncle Yin.
Lin Yutong said: "Don't worry, no matter what she is like now, I will definitely be able to find her. I will avenge the Wuchangsi for you."
The Third Lady looked at Lin Yutong seriously, "How can Your Highness be sure that he will catch her?"
She changed skins repeatedly, either because she was never satisfied with her living conditions, or because there was something wrong with herself and she was unable to control the body of the original owner.
Moreover, if the Wuji Palace in the palace was not her intention, why would Emperor Xuanping be so persistent? There must be something she must want in it.
So, he asked Sanniangzi: "How much do you know about Wuji Palace?"
The third lady shook her head: "Everyone seems to know about Wuji Palace, but no one knows what's going on inside..."
"But it must have something to do with that woman." Lin Yutong laughed, "The Holy One will build the Wuji Palace almost regardless of the cost. There must be the answer we want to know there. It's hard to say, that place is not important to the Holy One, but to that woman.
important……"
The third lady pondered: "There is some truth in saying that." She smiled, and the expression on her face slowly softened: "But regardless of whether you can avenge this revenge, Your Highness can vindicate the injustice of the Five Tribes, I will wait for you.
I can’t thank you enough.”
A ‘minister’ means one who is willing to obey orders.
Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. Who told us that we need absolutely trustworthy manpower now? We are all a little hungry. She hurriedly said: "Take someone to the Xia family to dig for evidence. The money... will not be short this time. You have all these years."
The salary, as well as the pensions of the deceased Wu Zhisi brothers, will not be owed to everyone after the incident is over."
In fact, Lin Yutong found that there was really no shortage of money.
She was a little frightened when she only opened one box of the account books she brought back from the Xia family.
This Xia Jinhe is really a talent, he can keep the background of these opponents so clean. At this moment, Lin Yutong is looking at the accounts of the Diao family that he has kept. The things in this account are all burial objects. For example, the tomb of the Diao family,
There is gold stuffed in the cracks between the bluestone slabs. Every tomb is empty.
Chen Yunhe was amazed when he saw it: "This Diao family is really Diao."
In fact, this is not considered cunning. It is just a precautionary measure. If something happens to the family, the gold hidden in this grave will be the capital for future generations to make a comeback.
The box containing the ledgers could hold half of the room. Then he locked Chen Yunhe inside and asked him to go and make statistics. He asked Tianfu to send someone to guard the outside.
Originally Lin Yutong planned to go to the academy, but now Lin Yutong has completely changed his plan.
not going!
Just ask people to go out and post a list.
What list?
Seeking merit list.
Not only were they posted on the streets, they were also posted at the entrances of various large academies and small private schools.
As long as you can write and calculate, you can come. The benefits are even more attractive.
Taisun will select those with outstanding talents among them and grant them official positions. The higher ones can reach the second rank, while the lower ones can also be the first-rank officials such as county magistrate, county lieutenant, and county magistrate. Even if it is not good, you can also get a job in the yamen.
An official or a pian's errand. If you are not chosen among these, you will still be paid one tael of silver per day.
There are more than ten large academies in Jinling alone. Most of the scholars from Jiangnan studied here.
When the recruitment list was posted like this, it immediately became an uproar.
After reading the recruitment list, my first reaction is: Is this thing credible?
The people on the side said: "It's credible! Why not? So many officials are..."
Everyone tacitly agreed, yes! Yes! The imperial court always needs people. Why not give it a try?
In restaurants and inns, this is all the talk about.
Qiu Zongchao is the accountant of the restaurant, and he stands in front of the counter every day to keep accounts. His uncle asked someone to help him find this job. Compared with farming in the countryside, he can get one tael of silver per month, which is considered a good job. If
If the owner is willing to be gracious and gives a reward of three to five taels at the end of the year, he can earn about ten taels of silver a year. This money can support the family. If the father, mother, wife and children of the family are farming in their hometown, the family will still be prosperous.
.But several acres of paddy fields at home were forcibly bought by others. His parents, wife and children were left homeless, so he dragged his whole family to Jinling to seek refuge. Originally, he lived in a store, but when his family came, he couldn't
I asked my family to live in the store. I finally rented two houses in the outer city and settled them temporarily. But the children at home were young, my wife was pregnant, and my father was sick from anger. I used the little money from selling paddy fields to rent a house.
After grabbing the medicine and buying food, there really wasn't much left. One tael of silver a month, how could this money be enough? I couldn't bear to part with this stable job, but if I didn't think of a way, I wouldn't be able to get through life.
He kept an eye on it and asked the shopkeeper: "I would like to take a few days off..."
The shopkeeper sneered: "Zongchao, my boss treats you well. You heard some rumors and wanted to find another job. Of course, we can't block your future. But you can't dominate a bunch of people either.
, and run to the other group. In this case, you can just quit the job, and we can both benefit."
Qiu Zongchao's face turned red. The shopkeeper's words didn't sound good, but in the end, what he did was not honest.
It would be really shameless to continue arguing.
He bowed again and again: "... The family is really in trouble... The whole family is waiting for dinner... Please forgive me, the shopkeeper..."
The shopkeeper looked unhappy, but he didn't embarrass anyone. "If you didn't work until the end of this month, I won't cheat you. I've worked for seventeen days and I'll give you six pieces of silver..." He immediately took the money and stuffed it in his hand.
Qiu Zongchao thanked him again and again, packed up his salutes, and was reluctant to call for a mule cart, so he carried it on his back and left.
But when I came out, I found that I didn't dare to go home with my things. My parents would be even more worried when I went back like this.
I want to go to an inn, but I don’t want to part with that little money.
So I simply gritted my teeth and went directly to Xiyuan.
At this time, there was no one at the entrance of Xiyuan. He even wondered if he had read the notice wrongly. From a distance, he saw that Xiyuan was surrounded by people in black clothes and solemn faces guarding him, and he became timid at first.
It took a long time before I took two steps forward. Just as I was thinking about whether to go over, I saw a table and chairs being brought out. On the table were pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
When they saw him, they said hello, "Did you come here after reading the recruitment list? Come and write your resume."
They are all very kind.
He carried the quilt on his back and put it aside, "Sorry, I just quit my job..."
The man said: "It's okay. First write down your resume, what is your name, where are you from, who are your family members, where do you live now, and whether you have any fame or not. If not, write down what you are good at."
He went over tremblingly and briefly wrote about his situation. His handwriting was not good, so he could only say it in a regular and readable way.
Then a boy took his watch and said, "Come with me."
He looked at his bedding and hesitated.
The man said, "You go in first, and I'll have your things delivered to you by the concierge on the east side." After saying that, he took out a pair of wooden signs and said, "Take yours..." and then the remaining one.
Hanging on the rope that bound the bedding, "When you want to leave, go to the east gate room with the wooden sign to pick up your things."
Then this is so convenient.
After thanking him profusely, he followed the boy in. Passing through the gatehouse, there was a row of houses inside.
Someone asked: "Which call did this gentleman answer?"
"Forget it!" the boy replied.
The man nodded with a smile, and Qiu Zongchao quickly leaned forward.
Then he followed the boy all the way inside. There was a sign with the word "calculation" on the door, and he walked in. Inside was a kind-hearted old man, pointing to the abacus and pen and ink on the table. Qiu Zong walked over and saw what was on the table.
It was an account book. He opened it and pulled the beads. Because of his nervousness, he counted much slower than usual, and his fingers trembled a little.
When the calculation is finished, write the result on the paper and hand it over.
Then the old man took a look and put a check mark on his resume, "Send it to Mr. Chen."
After that, he was taken to a hall. There were rows of tables and chairs in the hall, with abacus on the table and no one else there.
After a short time, another young man aged fourteen or fifteen was brought in. The young man's clothes were patched, his sleeves exposed his elbows, his trousers exposed his ankles, and he was wearing straw sandals. He smiled shyly when he saw him.
As we started chatting, we realized that he was also here to answer a call. This young man was literate and could write and read, but he was not good at arithmetic.
Just when I was thinking about the meaning of sending such a person, someone brought in a box of things. After opening it, they were all account books. They said: "One is responsible for reading, and the other is responsible for calculation. You are not allowed to take out a piece of paper inside. When dinner arrives,
Someone will bring you meals every now and then. If you want to drink water, there will be a teapot and tea bowl at the door. If you want to go out, there will be a hut in the yard. When it’s time to rest at night, someone will bring you mats and bedding.”
I actually want to eat and live here.
Qiu Zongchao quickly said: "I haven't told my family yet..."
The man said: "If you have anything to tell me, write me a letter. If you need to withdraw money in advance, just let me know."
The two of them were immediately grateful, and the whole family was waiting for the rice to be cooked.
The young man in patches, named Fang Shuisheng, blushed and said, "I wonder if you can give my family a tael first... no... a penny will do..."
The man laughed and said, "One penny is not enough to pay for the errands. I'll send you ten taels. Don't worry, it will be done properly for you."
The young man knelt down and kowtowed, tears falling down his cheeks.
This man felt unhappy when he saw it. When he came out of the yard, he met Eunuch Fu.
Tianfu asked: "How is it?"
"I'm very grateful." He said.
"Then do it well. Your great-grandson is kind, and you must make them truly feel your great-grandson's kindness." Then he asked, "Food, drink, and supplies are all arranged properly. I'm grateful and work hard."
It's so smooth. My grandson will be able to deliver the job one day earlier."
The man then asked: "I see there are a lot of people coming from outside. Do we have so many accounts for people to settle?"
Remove the word ‘?’!
Have the accounts of the two provinces of Jiangnan been completed?
It was noisy outside, and Zhang Wenhua and others who were locked up in front were obviously a little anxious.
This courtyard is originally the guest courtyard of Xiyuan. There are hundreds of houses in the courtyard. Last night, I didn’t wait for the governor to come back. I waited and waited. The result of the wait was that one person only had one room. Let’s go to bed.
.
When I woke up this morning, I discovered that the door was locked from the outside. If you want to go out, you can jump out of the window. The window is not closed, but what happens after you jump out? Can you run away?
The grandson never saw them, didn't listen to anything they said, and just imprisoned them without any reason.
Everyone knows that things will not go well this time.
When the person bringing food and water came over, he expressed his intention to see His Highness. But the other party only pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the table and said: "If you have anything to say, you can write it to Your Highness. Once you have written it, put it on the window sill outside."
If His Highness is satisfied, you can go home."
But if you ask yourself to write, what should you write?
Lin Yutong looked at the reports handed out one by one, and shared them with Fourth Master. The things he wrote on the first day were generally similar, talking about his loyalty and complaining about his grievances. The literati wrote more euphemistically, but the generals, then...
It's much more direct. I just didn't say: I am guarding a place for Your Majesty. I have no merit but hard work. Why should I treat us like this?
She was very good-natured and wrote the word "read" in large letters on the report, and then returned it one by one.
Neither said yes nor said bad. Anyway, such a submission did not buy freedom.
It was obvious that Taisun was still dissatisfied with such a report.
So the next day, they started to change their tactics. They began to use the money they had on them to bribe the guards, just to bring a message to the outside world. Then day after day, they wrote the reports day by day, but the things they had on them became less and less day by day.
First it was the scattered silver, then the banknotes that I carried with me. Then there were the rings and rings on my hands, and then the jade pendant and purse. Apart from the clothes on my body, I gave them everything they could. Every time I asked, they said
The message was sent out. But why didn’t even half of the information come back from the message?
Zhang Wenhua's message was sent to Mr. Sanqing, the chief of Nanshan Academy. This great scholar was also his mentor.
The grandson may not give other people's face, but he will definitely give it to his mentor.
Because this great Confucian was once one of the prince's enlightenment masters.
Nanshan Academy.
Mr. Sanqing was sitting at the stone table in the bamboo forest. Opposite him was a middle-aged man with a respectful look on his face.
"Anmin, what do you think?" Mr. Sanqing asked.
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man who was called An Min: "Teacher, isn't it a blessing for the country to have such a prince?"
Mr. Sanqing shook his head: "It's too sharp! I'm afraid it's just a flash in the pan."
"Teacher, the student has wasted half his life, should he continue to waste it?" A trace of determination flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "Even if it is short-lived, the student still wants to struggle again. No matter what the future holds, Jiangnan really needs to be rectified, Taisun.
Although this quick-fire method is risky, it will definitely be effective. Students who want to apply for recruitment will have no regrets even if they die."
Mr. Sanqing was speechless for a long time, "I'm afraid there are not a few people in the academy who think like this."
The middle-aged man stood up quickly: "The students are scared."
Mr. Sanqing smiled: "That's all...that's all...it's hard for you to still be so passionate in your middle age...then go ahead...but regardless of success or failure, in the government, Nanshan Academy cannot be the basis for forming a party."
……otherwise……"
"Yes!" The middle-aged man quickly stood up and responded without waiting for Mr. Sanqing to say more heartless words. Then he knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir, take care, the students are gone."
Mr. Sanqing felt a little sad as he listened to the sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest: Who can predict whether this departure will be bad or good? The Holy Spirit is not a tolerant person.
After this day, Nanshan Academy became much cleaner. Only teenagers were left who devoted themselves to studying. Those who were sixteen or seventeen years old and above were all gone.
They are all people with a good reputation, scholars, and gentlemen in academies. Most of them were born in Jinshi. For example, Lu Anmin was born in Jinshi. He served as county magistrate and magistrate, but he was only in Jiangnan.
In the officialdom, I was excluded and excluded, and then I was dismissed from office. Now, such an opportunity is here, and I don’t know how many people are following me.
The situation in Jiangnan and the situation in the DPRK are all well understood by all scholars.
Who doesn’t want to achieve something and be famous in history?
If you don't have ambitions, you can just like the rest of the officialdom, join in the troubles and strive for glory and wealth.
Lin Yutong is waiting for this group of people.
Like Lu Anmin, after the wait-and-see period of the first few days, more and more people came. Looking at their resumes, most of them were met by Lin Yutong in person.
Lin Yutong was inspecting Lu Anmin, and Lu Anmin was silently observing the great-grandson. Looking at what the great-grandson had done and understanding the great-grandson's growth experience, Lu Anmin had always positioned the great-grandson as "good at martial arts."
He was "upright" in this position. But when he met the person, he realized that he was totally wrong. This young man was not reckless at all. On the contrary, it could be said that he was a little too mature.
Just like now, Taisun asked: "Are you from the same school as Master Zhang Wenhua?"
Lu Anmin said "yes", still thinking that His Highness might have some taboos.
But he didn't expect that he would say: "That's good, you go to the governor's office first, and you can take care of the whole thing first." Then he wrote an edict, "Before leaving Beijing, the emperor will give me the power to do things for my own convenience. All officials will be appointed and dismissed."
It is within my authority. You can take office first and then report it to the Ministry of Personnel."
After leaving Xiyuan, he became Governor Lu.
Within a day, officials of all sizes in Jiangnan were replaced in an instant.
On the streets of Jinling, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.
Even though the changes in Jiangnan were strictly sealed and no official channels were used, those in the capital who should know the news should still find out everything about Jiangnan through other channels.
After all, rectification is not a blockade, and ship traffic on the river has never been interrupted.
In the East Palace, the prince sat on the throne, and Chai Tong and Nan Jinzhi sat opposite the prince.
Chai Tong looked anxious: "My grandson is in urgent need of manpower in Jinling. Instead of asking my grandson to be so simple and simple, it is better to transfer some suitable manpower..."
Nan Jinzhi glanced at Chai Tong and was speechless.
Allocate manpower? Allocate whose manpower?
Aren't the people transferred also the prince's men? But they are not the Taisun's own. What does the Taisun think of this?
Therefore, it is inappropriate to do this!
Of course, he may not have considered this aspect, thinking that if the grandson appoints officials like this, he will definitely be criticized. But being criticized is nothing compared to cultivating direct descendants.
So he said: "Since His Highness Taisun has made the appointment, His Highness...the first thing you have to think about now is to quickly report to the Ministry of Personnel. The formal appointment decree must be sent down before Taisun leaves Jiangnan..."
Otherwise, if the imperial court refuses to recognize the grandson's appointment, it will bring great disgrace to the East Palace.
Lin Pingzhang was thinking about this matter, "You guys go down first."
After the two of them left, he stood up. He didn't care much about the appointment. It just depended on the amount of silver he brought back. If he brought back five million taels, this matter could be discussed. If he brought back one
Twenty million taels, there is really no need to discuss this matter. The emperor didn't even look at it, he just used the seal.
What he cared about was how this kid had uncovered the Five Cockroaches.
The things involved in the Wuji Division are the Emperor's reverse scales, and no one is allowed to touch them.
This is the trouble within the trouble.
What he wants to find out now is where she got the news about Wujisi and how she got in touch with those people. He was afraid that the child would accidentally fall into a trap set by others.
Yin Chengzhi came to the door at this time, "I know what you are thinking... Actually, you don't have to think too much, it's okay. That thing was brought by my son..."
so what?
Lin Pingzhang glared angrily: "Wujisi went out and did it blatantly. Do you think the palace will know?"
"So what if you know?" Yin Chengzhi looked gloomy, "I just want to know what secrets there are in the Wuji Palace. Why did my mother die back then? If I don't move, I will never know."
Just as he was talking, Li Changzhi came in. He glanced at Yin Chengzhi, then leaned into Lin Pingzhang's ear and said, "The Holy One is here again..."
Lin Pingzhang and Yin Chengzhi looked at each other and said, "It's moving..."
Yin Chengzhi turned around and walked out of the door quickly. Lin Pingzhang chased him out, but no one was seen.
Li Changzhi helped the prince: "Your Highness, it's going to rain. Come inside. There is moisture in the wind."
Lin Pingzhang sighed: "Everyone who has gone has gone, but he is always worried about it. It seems that he will not give up until he finds out the truth." After that, he ordered Li Changzhi, "Send people south and tell the grandson,
A quick victory, time waits for no one. Moreover, we must remind him that the way back may be more dangerous than when he went there. Tell her not to be careless."
"Yes!" Probably because of the wind, Li Changzhi shivered violently.
"Put on the big cloak." Feng Qian'en took out the big hairy cloak and put it on the emperor. He quickly put on the cotton cloak himself and helped the emperor step by step along the secret passage.
On both sides of the secret passage, luminous pearls are inlaid on the inside of the wall. The steps in the secret passage are long and winding. The further you go down, the colder you feel.
I walked for more than half an hour, passing through checkpoints one after another, before reaching the bottom.
The bottom floor is like a fairy palace. Rare treasures are displayed in the palace, which is beautiful.
There is a crystal clear crystal coffin placed on the bed. The woman in the coffin seems to be sleeping, with a peaceful face. She is dressed in white and lying inside. From the appearance, it cannot be seen that the position of the heart has been penetrated.
A dagger.
Emperor Pingxuan went in and asked a eunuch kneeling beside him: "Is there still no change?"
Feng Hou glanced at Feng Qianen carefully, and then shook his head at Emperor Pingxuan: "Nothing has changed since I returned to the Holy Emperor."
Feng Qian'en waved his hand to his godson and told him to step aside. Only a few trustworthy eunuchs were guarding this place, staring at the body day and night.
No one knows what this so-called change is, but we all have to wait.
Because this woman said before she died that she had something very important left on her body, which was a fairy magic weapon. If you get this thing, you can live forever. She will come back to get this magic weapon, and then she can hand it over.
Your Majesty’s secret to immortality.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she has come back. She has come back with different identities. But she has never found a way to retrieve the magic weapon. She said that if she cannot find the magic weapon, she will not be able to return to the fairy world. His Majesty once tried to keep it
She. When she became Concubine Li, His Majesty married her. The two had children and a third prince. Later, when she was pregnant with Princess Jingle, Concubine Li fainted and woke up again.
It’s just Concubine Li, but that woman is no longer there. According to Concubine Li, she has always been there, but she cannot control her own body when that person is there.
This should be ‘seizing the body’.
He didn't know whether this was the method of the immortal family or the magic method.
But she did do what others couldn't.
Just like the emperor said: "What does it matter whether it is a fairy or a demon? As long as it can live forever."
Emperor Xuanping put his hand on the crystal coffin and murmured to himself: "Where...are you now? Since you said you would come back, I naturally firmly believe that you will come back. My time seems to be running out..."
Feng Qianen quickly said: "Long live your Majesty, how can you say such ominous words?"
"Long live?" Emperor Xuanping smiled, coughed twice, and then rubbed his forehead, "Long live is not enough?"
"Yes! Your Majesty will definitely live forever." Feng Qian'en whispered: "The news from the south of the Yangtze River, the Wuchangsi... came out."
Emperor Xuanping sighed: "Why did you forget them?"
"Want to..." Feng Qian'en made a slashing motion, "Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots?"
Emperor Xuanping shook his head: "She has been gone for many years, and now I can't find her whereabouts. She has learned to be smart and hide. Well, the Five Beetles... it's good to come out at this time... just in time.
You can use it..."
"Is Your Majesty going to?" Feng Qian'en asked in a low voice, "Wanting to lure Miss Long to show up?"
"It's time for her to show up. If she doesn't show up, I won't be able to wait any longer." Emperor Xuanping gently brushed his hand from the crystal coffin and said, "Send a message to the Ministry of Personnel, saying that all officials handed over by the grandson will be appointed and dismissed."
Do it as soon as possible. Then I will give the order to Taisun to re-establish the Wucheng Division, and leave this matter to Taisun."
Feng Qian'en responded with a 'yes', "It's just that the government and the public are agitated, and the grandson's actions are too... too arbitrary."
"Arbitrary?" Emperor Xuanping helped Feng Qian'en to go out, "It doesn't matter if he is arbitrary. As long as I don't die, he will only be his grandson."
If Lin Yutong knew this, Lin Yutong would say, "It's true that he is a great-grandson. But this great-grandson is still different from the great-grandson. The rich great-grandson is different from the poor great-grandson."
."
Yes, Lin Yutong feels that he is rich now, especially very and extremely rich.
After sorting out the accounts for seven days, only the accounts of four major salt merchants, including the Xia family, were cleared. In private salt alone, more than 40 million taels of silver had been collected in more than 20 years.
What a big number this is.
Including other illegal gains, these four companies alone earned close to 60 million taels of silver.
This is just the big salt merchants. There are dozens and hundreds of small salt merchants, and they are not even counted.
Moreover, officials from the two provinces of Jiangnan have not moved yet.
Fourth Master gave a conservative number: "The minimum will not be less than 90 million taels."
Lin Yutong sneered and said, "Copy!"
Taisun's decree was heard in all directions.
But Lin Yutong was stunned at the fourth master: "Tell me, in the future, others will also call me the emperor who raids the house."
