Soon, all the killers were killed under Ma Zhong's fists, and he almost slaughtered a dozen killers with the strength of one person.

It's just that they also suffered heavy casualties on their side, most of the officials and officials were killed and wounded, and the Imperial Forest Army also lost three dead and seven were wounded.

The worst thing is that except for Liu Laosan, all the other prisoners died.

Ma Zhong's face was gloomy, and he commanded an uninjured Imperial Forest Army.

"Go and call someone, bring the military doctor, a lot of people here have been poisoned. ”

This vicious attack occurred in the imperial city early in the early Qing Dynasty, and soon the news spread, and many civil and military officials who were already preparing to go to the court heard about it.

They can imagine that this morning will not be peaceful.

Liu Laosan was detained in the prison, which was the most heavily guarded by the Criminal Department.

The five princes, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Ma Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint, and they didn't even have time to change the clothes on their bodies.

On this morning, the emperor was furious and ordered the criminal department to be interrogated within three days.

At the same time, he comforted the victims Xue Jian and Wu Qiancheng, and commended the five princes and Ma Zhong.

After the next court, the officials kept talking, and they couldn't help but start worrying.

After all, everyone knows that Liu Laosan is the brother of Wan Qianjin, if something happens to him, Wan Qianjin can't get out of it, and once Wan Qianjin falls, at least half of the hundred officials will suffer losses.

And these officials who have money transactions with thousands of gold are all people who support the three princes openly or implicitly.

The sky was bright, Xue saw that it was rare to take a nap in the middle of the night, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw Chu Yiyi sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him, while closing his eyes and cultivating.

He still remembered that Chu Yiyi was injured last time, and he also stayed by the bedside all night, but this time he didn't expect to lie on the bed by himself.

Xue Jian was lying on the bed, motionless, just opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful face that he never got tired of seeing, only then did he feel extremely down-to-earth and warm in his heart.

It seems that no matter how tired and difficult it is, as long as you look at her, it is like being caressed by a gentle hand in the heart, and all your troubles can be forgotten.

Chu Yiyi seemed to be aware of being watched, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes slowly opened.

A gentle smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"You're awake, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xue Jian sat up, stretched, and said with a smile.

"I can't sleep, I feel like I'm almost recovered, it's time to get up and exercise. ”

Chu Yiyi looked at him incredulously and asked.

"How did you recover so quickly? You were so badly injured last night. ”

The injury last night was indeed very serious, it can be said that Xue Jian crossed over, and the first time he was seriously injured was almost dead, but the big pill he bought in the system was too strong.

After a night, the injury recovered, and even the true vein of the right leg was repaired a lot.

He looked at Chu Yiyi and joked.

"Because of you by my side, I can get better so quickly, which may be the power of love. ”

Chu Yiyi's face turned red and said coquettishly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, let me see. ”

She pulled Xue Jian's wrist, checked his pulse, and made sure that Xue Jian was indeed fine, and then allowed him to get out of bed.

The two had breakfast together from the maid in the house, and Xue Jian started a fist in the courtyard.

The fist wind was whistling, full of strength, and Xue Jian's body was not affected too much.

At this time, the Fifth Prince and Chu Tianming walked into the courtyard, and when they saw Xue Jian, who had played a set of boxing techniques, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Last night, they saw that Xue Jian couldn't even stand up, how could it be that overnight, it was like a different person, as if he was not injured at all.

The fifth prince couldn't help but step forward and asked.

"Are you okay?"

Xue Jian replied with a smile.

"I have an ancestral elixir that treats my injuries very well and is fine at the moment. ”

The Fifth Prince and Chu Tianming glanced at each other, and immediately looked at each other, what ancestral medicine is so effective, even the right leg can be cured.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and it is unbelievable that this person can get out of bed and punch without even a day has passed.

But now is not the time to ask this, the fifth prince and Chu Tianming came over, one is to take a look at his body, and the other is to discuss one thing with Xue Jian.

The three of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and Chu Yiyi had no interest in their conversation, so he went into the room alone and began to cultivate.

The fifth prince first talked about the killer's halfway interception this morning, and then talked about the matter of the early court.

After Xue Jian listened, his expression did not change and asked.

"Didn't the Fifth Prince present those account books?"

Chu Tianming opened his mouth to explain.

"There is no rush in the account book, we can wait for the results of the trial on the side of the criminal department, and then submit it together. ”

Xue Jian immediately understood that the five princes were going to play a big game, and they wanted to win or lose, and completely press the three princes to death.

Chu Tianming continued.

"Now that everything is ready, we only owe the east wind, and we also need a person like Wan Qianjin who can replace him, so as not to touch those deep-rooted interest groups. ”

At this point, Xue Jian was consistent with his thoughts.

Once those interest groups are touched, it is likely to cause a great turmoil, ranging from the isolation and siege of the five princes to the turmoil and mutiny of the country.

"What does Fifth Grandpa mean, let me go to replace Wan Qianjin?"

Xue Jian asked.

Chu Tianming nodded and said.

"It's best for you to do this, there are many industries under the hands of Wan Qianjin, such as trade in goods, enclosure of real estate, excavation of mineral veins, and human trafficking.

Each property is controlled by many of his men, who were loyal to him before, but now that they are unable to protect themselves, they are likely to rebel.

As long as you take over these people and put a lot of money on the shelf, then his death will not have much impact on those deep-rooted interest groups. ”

Xue Jian thought about it seriously and said.

"I can try, but I don't do human trafficking, and I'm going to abolish the industry. ”

The Fifth Prince and Chu Tianming both showed a look of surprise.

The slave trade has existed since ancient times, like the maids and servants of those big families, which were not bought from others.

It's normal for them, it's like going to a store to buy something.

But this matter is unacceptable to Xue Jian, a person who has come from the 21st century.

People are people, not goods with a clear price, although he likes to make money, but he also has a bottom line for business.

He couldn't control it before, but now that he has come into contact with this, he has to take care of it.

The fifth prince asked suspiciously.

Why is that?

Human trafficking is one of the largest industries in the hands of Wan Qianjin, and every year, almost all the officials and nobles in the imperial city have to buy a large number of concubines, maids, and servants from Wan Qianjin.

If you don't do it, where will these officials and aristocrats go to buy people?"

Xue Jian said firmly.

"That's my bottom line, I won't do the slave trade anyway. ”
