Chapter 101: To no avail
Zhao Geng entered the palace and explained the results of the investigation to the saint in detail. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No?" The saint's voice was raised high.
"So that Your Majesty may know that there is indeed nothing of value to be found."
Zhao Geng bowed and stood in front of the imperial case, a trace of doubt flashed on his cold and rigid face, "Weichen was also a little strange, so he ordered someone to investigate, but the result was the same." The minion surnamed Qu ran a total of three tea rooms and a restaurant, and Wei Chen personally led the minifigures to carefully search each shop and found nothing unusual. ”
"It can't be!" The saint did not believe at all.
As a very controlling emperor, he strictly forbade his subordinates to raise dead soldiers and spies without permission.
But the saint knew in his heart that this could not be helped. At least for now, as far as he knows, the four families of Gu, Qi, Yang, and Xiao, as well as several Hou mansions with troops, have secretly cultivated manpower, the kind that cannot see the light.
There are also those older princes, not to mention the eldest prince and the sixth prince who have rebelled, if they dare to commit crimes, they must have a certain amount of connections in their hands, and these are all the existence that saints do not allow.
The saint has always wanted to clean up the dark forces in the capital, but he has never been able to find a suitable opportunity.
A few days ago, he ordered someone to lock Qi Yao's family in the abandoned Iron Threshold Nunnery, originally just to punish her and let out the evil spirit in his chest. Then I learned some secrets about her miraculous healing skills from her.
The sage had heard of the great name of Jingxinzhai for a long time, and it just so happened that he also wanted to see the power of the 'little black house'.
The effect is indeed as predicted by Zhao Geng, very good!
Normal people are locked up in a silent, dark and lightless secret room, and after only two or three days of work, they can become mentally confused due to panic, and those with poor psychological quality will even collapse.
Zhao Geng specially arranged for the person in charge of the torture of Jinyiwei to observe outside Jingxinzhai and recorded all the reactions of Qi Yao's family one by one.
On the first day, Qi Yao's family could still spend it trembling, tearing his throat from time to time to call for help, and more often than not, he was silent.
The next day, Qi Yao began to sob, a little nervously shouting 'help'.
On the third day, Qi Yao's family was a little out of control, first crying and fussing, then crazy and screaming, and at night, it seemed that a handful of sand was stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't say a word dryly.
On the fourth day, Qi Yao's clan was completely devastated, and there was no need for interrogation at all, so she eagerly shouted out the secrets she knew, so that people outside could hear them, and then let her out.
If it weren't for the fact that the saint still wanted to use Yao Xiruo's medical skills and secret medicine, Zhao Geng would continue to lock her up in the dark stone room until he saw her completely insane.
On the night of the fourth day, Zhao Geng released the confused Qi Yao clan.
In just four days, Qi Yao's family lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken and unfocused, his face was inexplicably crazy, and he was almost nervous.
At the slightest disturbance, she would tremble with fear, and even scream and cry uncontrollably.
In short, even if Qi Yao's family is not completely insane, he already has a serious mental disorder, and he will have a direct attack if he is slightly stimulated.
While marveling at the magical effect of the 'little black house', Zhao Geng sorted out the secrets confessed by Qi Yao's family, and personally entered the palace to present them to His Majesty.
In Qi Yao's 'confession', it was mentioned that the Qi family obtained information and spied on their privacy. That is, the prostitutes in the tea room and the guys in the liquor store take advantage of the inadvertent time of the guests to get the news.
According to Qi Yao, the eastern and western prefectures of the Qi family have been using this method to collect information more than 40 years ago.
The two prefectures even ordered people to buy clever and beautiful little girls from all over the place, and then put them together in a secret place, and a special person taught them various skills. For example, how to charm men, how to obtain information, how to track and monitor, and so on.
When these little girls grew up, some of them were sent to teahouses and wine shops, while others were simply stuffed directly into the homes of some powerful eunuchs.
“…… Oh~, what a Qi family, he used such means to seize the privacy of civil and military officials. ”
After reading Qi Yao's confession, the sage was so angry that he kicked over the imperial case on the spot, and even Zhao Geng was scolded fiercely-Isn't Jinyiwei known as omnipresent and omniscient? It's just that Xiao Yan's shadow guards can't find it, they didn't even find the Qi family's abnormality?
The sage was a powerful emperor, and he would never allow spies to surround him on the side of his couch.
"Check, check it for me, be sure to find out the secrets of the Qi family clearly,"
The saint gritted his back molars and commanded word by word, "There is also the so-called 'Hundred Officials Secret Files', which must be found out by me." ”
He had been unpleasant to see the four great powers for a long time, and seizing their military power was only the first step, and then it was to cut off their wings little by little, uproot their foundations, and make them completely history.
The Qi family, who was constantly fighting and sending their own handles, was the first object that the saint had to deal with.
After the thunderous tactics of the saint, Dongqi was directly disabled, and only Qi Jinzhi remained in the officialdom of Xiqi.
The southwest camp was mixed with sand and changed blood several times, and Ma Hanze relied on his in-law relationship with the Qi family to control most of the camp. But there is still a third of the power in the hands of the Qi family.
Not to mention the Qi family's killer weapon, the firearm, was strictly hidden by the Qi family.
The saint wanted to completely uproot the Qi family, but when he thought of this, he held back again.
After some thought, the sage decided to start with the matter of spying on the hundred officials.
Because this matter not only endangers the interests of the royal family, but also touches the bottom line of hundreds of officials.
As long as the charges of the Qi family are verified, Qi Lingxian will become the public enemy of the civil and military officials, and no one in the court will help to deal with what the saint wants.
In addition, the saint also wanted to take the opportunity to test the attitude of the other three major princes, to see if they were really sharing weal and woe.
So there was a scene of the maid of the Qu family blocking the history on the street.
Yang Jiye, oh no, to be precise, the reaction of the British government made the saint very satisfied, the Yang family did not protect the Qi family, and they didn't even report the news.
Directly sending the plaintiff and the blood book to Shuntianfu is reasonable and legal, and the saints can't find fault with it.
Suncheon Fu Yin's response is also normal.
The sage and Zhao Geng didn't expect Zhou Yan to find out about the case, they let Zhou Yan 'drag' it, and secretly, the Jinyi guard in Beijing went out to search Qu Jincai's house and four shops. also secretly detained the servants of the Qu family and the shopkeeper in the shop, and interrogated them several times, those people were so frightened that they were scared and asked for mercy again and again, but they couldn't tell any useful clues.
Zhao Geng was accustomed to seeing people who were tortured, and he had already developed a pair of fiery eyes. Whether the prisoner was really unyielding or really ignorant, he could tell almost at a glance.
After several rounds of interrogation, Zhao Geng could be sure that the servants of the Qu family and the people in the tea room were ordinary people, and they were by no means dead soldiers or secret agents specially trained by the Qi family.
After tossing for half a month, Zhao Geng could only reluctantly enter the palace to resume his life.
Facing the sage's anger and questioning, he fell to his knees with a puff, "Weichen is incompetent, please punish the sage!" ”
