"Your Majesty, report to the Southern Cable." Gonggong Deng saw that the emperor's eyebrows were stretched, not as depressed as two days ago, and hurriedly stepped on the communication. After a minute and a half, the emperor's mood suddenly deteriorated, or the news came that angered the emperor, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Gao Shenghan let people in.

The messenger had simply freshened up, but he could still feel the tiredness of the other party's journey for days.

The man didn't say much, but briefly talked about the itinerary and daily routine of His Royal Highness Prince Shashaman, and then respectfully presented a box with black lacquer relief and gold painting. The box is only a big palm, thick and inch, and the workmanship is exquisite and the relief is gorgeous, and the seal cannot be seen.

Gao Shenghan smiled slightly, took off the sandalwood beads from his left wrist, and handed them to Gonggong Deng. There is a small key attached to the string of beads, and you won't notice it if you don't look at it.

Gonggong Deng took it and opened the box to check the safety in front of the emperor and the messenger at a distance of a few feet away from the emperor. In the box are six large round pearls, each the size of a thumb, and a dozen smaller pearls, with a thick black flannel underneath, which makes the beads even more round and lovely, exuding a faint pale pink luster, with pink, powder blue, light green, ru white, and even a black one.

Gao Shenghan raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect that guy to be quite romantic, and when he saw good things, he knew how to send someone to bring them back to him.

She will not forget that there is no shortage of gems, gold and spices in the Black Sand Country, only pearls......

Did they go to the beach?

She smiled and took the box, reassured the messenger, rewarded him with a few more things, and sent him down.

The messenger replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness the prince has told his subordinates, if the emperor needs to reply to the letter, he can let his subordinates bring it back." ”

Gonggong Deng was very satisfied, and personally explained that his disciple Zhang Wen took people down to rest.

This is a face to the messenger, and it is not a secret spy to see if he is still in contact with others.

"You're just a lot of eyes." Gao Sheng smiled coldly, pondering what to do with these beads.

It is definitely not okay to give a reward to others, because it is a gift from Shashaman. Why don't you ...... "all made into jewelry?" ”

The pearl is not released, and after a long time, it will turn yellow and dull in color. She held the rare black pearl and gestured on her body, and thought it would be nice to make a necklace pendant or ring. It's a pity that my fingers are too slender to line up.

"This pink one could be inlaid with a gold crown." Gonggong Deng proposed with a smile on his face. The emperor is in a good mood, and he is naturally in a good mood. It looked like the woman's aunt was gone.

In order to avoid being exposed, the emperor gave the moon a vague name: Great Aunt.

Only the emperor and him know about this matter, he has the glory and sadness of my family's daughter's first growth, and he is full of worries, worried about what to do if the emperor suddenly visits when he is in the last court? It is said that the first few times a woman is not allowed......

Gao Shenghan naturally couldn't understand Deng Fatzi's worries, and played with the beads with great interest for a while, and suddenly remembered that Xia Shaman had mentioned that the box had a mezzanine. She rested the beads on the table and began to study the box. After a while, I found an ingenious bracket in the corner of the lid, picked up the bronze key, which was only two centimeters long, and dialed it in a small hole, and with a click, the lid was split in two and slowly opened.

Inside is really folded haode paper.

Gong Deng didn't squint and automatically stepped back a foot away, and took the half-cold tea back to the small stove to warm it.

Gao Shenghan carefully read the contents of the letter, and couldn't help but have a sneering smile on his face.

It turned out that Xia Shaman and his party were blessed with great fortunes, and after eliminating the dozens of mountain bandits, they went straight to Huainan Mansion, but they were not discovered by the hundreds of people in the valley, and then followed by the secret guards who were secretly protecting them and solved the potential trouble, and drugged the group of bandits to make them half dead, and moved overnight to Yingtianfu's rescuers to cut down the group of people in the valley, zuihou, none of the bandits escaped and went to Huainan Mansion to report the news, so that a huge Huainan Mansion, no one knew that the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain had been killed. And the bandit leader Li Da still asked his master for ideas in Huainan Mansion and stayed in the city for two days. Later, when he returned to the mountain, he found that the situation was not right, all the way were examined and interrogated officers and soldiers, looking at fresh faces, not the Huainan Mansion sergeant he recognized, so he kept an eye in his heart, and went all the way to Yingtianfu, Zuihou made Ji escape.

Therefore, he didn't know which party had demolished his lair, and he didn't dare to go back to his master, because the incident happened when he was not on the mountain, and it was too much of a coincidence, and the master would definitely be the first to suspect him! How will he explain it then? What's the fate? No matter how ambitious the master is, what he wants to do, they are just followers, and now depending on the situation, it should be done from above?

Li Da didn't dare to return to Huainan Mansion again, nor did he dare to stay in Yingtianfu, so he fled all the way west and disappeared.

As for the King of Huainan, after listening to the report of his confidant Mishi, he naturally blamed Li Da for this crime, and ruthlessly killed the Li family. I only pity the ignorant old mother and daughter-in-law of the Li family, but they lost their lives for it.

Knowing that the situation had changed, the king of Huainan immediately secretly sent an order to let the people recruited from all over the country temporarily rest and return home, waiting for the assembly order.

Almost at the same time, the emperor's edict was also transmitted to the soldiers and soldiers of the garrisons in various state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, ordering: Search the mountains with great fanfare!

As a result, no matter whether there were people or not, the places with traces of human habitation in the depths of the dense forest were searched in a carpet manner, and a lot of rice, grain, poultry and livestock were seized! There are also patches of cultivated farmland, a fact that shocked the soldiers! There is even a person in the village who is used to living freely, and is unwilling to leave and return to his hometown.

In the first and second trials, the clues were gradually seen, and some people privately recruited troops!

What is this trying to do?

For a time, the generals stationed in various provinces were dripping in cold sweat and tightened the garrison of the city gate and the defense inside and outside the city.

Those officials who were in collusion with the Huainan Mansion quietly sent people to the Huainan Palace, and the Huainan King appeased them one by one: Don't be impatient, wait quietly.

Everyone also knows that they can't tear apart the relationship at this time, so they have to clamp their tails and live in fear.

None of this, Shashaman didn't know. He only described what he saw, the people were not rich, and secretly complained that the taxes collected by the government were too high.

Even the merchants' taxes are higher than those in the capital, and he didn't spend much money to buy these beads, but he used a few Haode gems in exchange, hoping that the emperor liked it.

Xia Shaman's perspective is different, His Royal Highness the prince can see that something is wrong at a glance, but Lin Xiaoxu focuses on the merchants, focusing on the intertwined relationship between officials and businessmen.
