After Pang Liang was controlled, the three major clans also had a sense of crisis, for fear that someone would stab the matter into the capital.

What is even more afraid of this is naturally the governor of Yanzhou, who is under the control of the imperial court.

Zhang Chengwang cooperated with the people of the three major clans and posted a notice, which can be regarded as a threat to the people, telling them to keep their mouths shut and not to talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise their fate will not be much better than those families.

The people of Yanzhou dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but they did not dare to offend the authority of the three major clans.

Therefore, the incident that occurred during the autumn harvest has not been known to the capital.

But under tyranny, with oppression comes revolt.

Among those families, there is a child named Ji Guangmiao, who went out to study before, and has been gone for two years, and did not return home until late October of this year.

When I got home, I found that there was no one at home, and I asked about my neighbors, but I saw that my neighbors' eyes flashed, and I didn't know what to ask.

Ji Guangmiao has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and his experience and vision of seeing people and things are naturally not shallow, even if he knows, something must have happened.

He did not stay near his home for long, but left immediately, found a hidden place and disguised himself before going back around.

Then he saw that there was an official messenger patrolling near his house, and the neighbor only cried in the face of the official's fierce questioning: "Official, the little one really saw Guangmiao come back!" Why, why didn't I see anyone else in the blink of an eye......"

Ji Guangmiao's heart sank, and he left immediately.

Judging from the attitude of the neighbors and the appearance of the official errand, Ji Guangmiao is sure that the family must still be a big deal.

He didn't dare to ask anyone he knew, but specifically asked the street beggar to inquire.

Because of the three major clans, the beggars didn't dare to say anything. But in the face of food and silver, they quickly revealed what they knew.

Ji Guangmiao knew that his father was dead and his family was all in prison.

No one dared to pass on the news to the outside world, but Ji Guangmiao was not afraid. He immediately wrote a letter to the friends he had made when he was on a study trip, briefly explained the situation at home, and then went to the capital alone.

But since then, his friends have not heard from him; In the matter of Yanzhou, I did not hear any rumors.

The whole winter moon lost contact with him, and his friends knew that something must have happened to him.

After some consideration, Ji Guangmiao's friend delivered the news to the capital at the beginning of the month, and was finally known by Emperor Yuanwu.

In order not to set himself on fire, Ji Guangmiao's friend only said that there was a riot in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou Tongzhi was stabbed. The rest, he didn't dare to say.

But just this news is enough to make Emperor Yuanwu pay attention.

The distance between the capital and Yanzhou is not particularly far, so why have the riots that occurred during the autumn harvest only now been reported, and through unofficial channels?

Emperor Yuanwu decided to investigate the matter, and only then did King Rui make this trip.

"The fifth brother found a way to get in touch with Pang Liang secretly, confirmed the atrocities of the three major ethnic groups in Yanzhou who killed people in the street, and the fact that the governor of Yanzhou was fighting for the tiger, and also asked Pang Liang to write a testimony and press his handprint."

Liu Tong took a sip of tea and sighed lightly: "I haven't drunk such a sweet tea for a long time." ”

Chang Runzhi poured him another cup of tea, and said, "Now that you're back, you can drink as much as you want." ”

Liu Tong winked at Chang Runzhi: "The tea you brew is the best." ”

Chang Runzhi chuckled: "Okay, then I'll make you all your tea in the future?" ”

"That's a good idea." Liu Tong's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, took another sip of tea, and said, "Where did I go?" ”

"Speaking of which, King Rui got Pang Liang's testimony."

"Yes."

Liu Tong nodded and continued to talk about the situation when King Rui was in Yanzhou.

After getting these evidences, King Rui had doubts in his heart.

Since the three major clans have so painstakingly blocked the news, and it seems to be very successful, how could this matter suddenly spread to the capital?

King Rui felt that the source of this news was a bit abrupt, and he didn't want to let go of this clue, when he asked the person secretly sent by Emperor Yuanwu, he learned about Ji Guangmiao's friend Yan Ting.

Yan Ting was born in a side branch of the big family, and there was no intersection with the three major clans in Yanzhou. King Rui personally came to the door to inquire about Yan Ting, and Yan Ting learned the identity of King Rui, so he handed over the letter given to him by Ji Guangmiao to King Rui, and told King Rui what he knew.

Knowing that Ji Guangmiao had no news when he arrived in the capital, King Rui frowned.

Yan Ting said that Ji Guangmiao should have gone to Beijing to sue the royal court, but he had not heard that anyone in the capital had sued the royal court.

King Rui even thought of wishing the king.

Dawei does have a way to sue the emperor to hear it directly, and the imperial drum is placed at the gate of the interrogation department of the criminal department, and the huge drum is also banging when it is beaten.

If Ji Guangmiao sues the royal wrigg, then naturally he can only go to the interrogation department of the Criminal Department to beat the royal drum.

But during that time, I didn't hear of anyone suing the emperor.

Unless, Ji Guangmiao did not choose to sue the royal court.

Or...... Ji Guangmiao went to the Criminal Department to file a complaint, but was concealed.

Thinking of the fact that Emperor Yuanwu asked someone to go to Yanzhou to find out the truth, and King Zhu immediately found an excuse to refuse, King Rui suddenly felt that this fog had become a little bigger.

After bidding farewell to Yan Ting, King Rui sorted out the evidence he got one by one, copied a copy and handed it to the people secretly sent by Emperor Yuan Wu, just in case, and asked them to go back and tell Emperor Yuan Wu that they needed to secretly check the records of the interrogation department of the Criminal Department to see if there was a person named Ji Guangmiao who had ever appeared.

At this point, the matter can be regarded as complete.

At that time, it was already the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and King Rui estimated the time and decided to secretly investigate for a few more days, so that he could arrive in Beijing on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

He wrote a letter and sent it to the capital.

It was only half a day after it was taken out that things changed again.

Liangpeng got the order of King Rui, and when he went to the restaurant to investigate, he heard the son of the Qi family in the three major clans boasting to his friends after drinking, saying that they are not afraid of the current emperor, and after the prince ascends the throne, there is no need to be afraid.

A friend asked why, the son of the Qi family said that the prince still relied on their Qi family to help get rich from Goguryeo, how dare he offend them?

There was a lot of madness in the words.

Liang Peng listened to it completely, and when he went back, he informed King Rui.

got involved with the prince, King Rui didn't want to check again, but remembered that in the Qinzheng Palace that day, it was the prince who first suggested that he come to Yanzhou, which made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he was conflicted for a while, but finally obeyed his heart and continued to investigate.

After checking it out, Rui Wang was really stunned.

The crown prince and the Qi family have long been in contact, and the Qi family has accumulated a lot of silver taels over the years by relying on various transactions with Goguryeo, including human trafficking.

This kind of transaction, there is no cost but the benefits are extremely high, with the prince behind the pressure, the Qi family is like a fish in water to do this kind of business.

The prince collected money through the Qi family, and the Qi family became more unscrupulous and lawless in Yanzhou because of the prince.

This is the reason why the prince is reluctant to expose Yanzhou to the eyes of the imperial court.

And the prince wished the king not to come to Yanzhou because of another reason - they had common interests and common fears in Yanzhou. (To be continued.) )
