Chapter 36: The Hidden Stake
All the way to Jinyang, Feng Xiuyun had no affection, and his expression was very cold. He didn't know how many times he had read the "Secret Shadow Zhaowen" next to him, and every word was heart-wrenching, stirring up a bit of murderous intent.
A few days ago, the spies he sent reported that He Xu, the political envoy of Jinyang Zuobu, was secretive, and he had chosen to pay tribute to Gongsun Tao all the year round, and he never wanted to send someone to follow him, but he couldn't find anything, and then the spies sneaked into his house at the risk of being discovered, and they found a large number of strange words in a daze.
When Feng Xiuyun was puzzled, the spy said in pass that there was a very strange painting hanging in his study. Fortunately, the spy knew that there might be something strange in it, so he easily depicted the picture.
It took him a few fiddling to understand the painting, and he painted it upside down, that is, he could see the true meaning of the painting after it was completely turned over, which was the flower of vanity mentioned in "Secret Shadow Zhaowen".
After He Xu was exposed, he secretly told the emperor, and the emperor asked him to remain quiet. Shenwei was involved in the case of Gongsun Tao, and was suspected of poisoning the Queen Mother, and of course the emperor hoped to catch it all.
A few days later, the emperor sent Cao Zhen to Rui Wangfu, this trip seems to be casual, but in fact there is no cave, until Cao Zhen visited, Feng Xiuyun did not know a heavy secret of the Daning Dynasty.
Jinyang has jurisdiction over five prefectures, sixteen prefectures, and ninety-six counties, and when they arrived in Qinzhou under Jinyang Prefecture, there were already people waiting in the inn for a long time, and they were greeted by a group of people who stopped to rest for a while, and the man led a burly man to Feng Xiuyun's door.
"Your Highness, nothing has arrived." The man knocked lightly on the door a few times, and passed the door to Xingri Ma.
"Come in."
Wuxuan entered the door, but found that Feng Xiuyun was alone, and the surprise was only fleeting, and he immediately bowed on his knees, "Humble Xingri Ma Wuxuan See Your Highness." â
"Get up and speak." Feng Xiuyun raised his hand, his face was no longer the banter he had when he first met, as if he was waiting for a stern look.
Wuxuan was infected, and he also had a stern face, and he didn't be polite after getting up, and immediately reported the current scene, "Back to His Royal Highness, the dark pile in Qinzhou was also pulled out by the master of Shenwei, and this time, even the pregnant wife of the dark pile did not let go." â
Feng Xiuyun narrowed his eyes slightly, "This time, even pregnant people are not spared?" â
"Yes, this matter was originally reported to the court by He Xu's wife for a few days, and I don't know if it was because of this that this tragedy was caused."
Since its establishment, Qingyi Wei only accepts abandoned babies, in order to screen useful people, will first throw the abandoned babies in the grass house, and feed them regularly every day without starvation, and wait until the baby can crawl out of the grass house on its own, that is, pass the test, and die in the grass house, there are countless people.
Since they have passed the test, of course, they must be cultivated well, but when they are old enough to practice martial arts, they find that not everyone is adaptable, and those children who are not gifted will be sent to the special academy of Qingyiwei for other teaching, and when they are completed, they will be sent to various places to participate in scientific examinations.
Because the content of the teaching is the content of the scientific examination, it is not a problem for these people to become officials. It's just that these people have neither identity nor background when they go out, at most they are just a low-end petty official, and after becoming an official, they do nothing all day long, and there is no hope of promotion, and it is already grace to be able to reach the seventh grade.
If you think that the matter is over here, you are wrong. Their purpose as officials is only to monitor various places for the emperor, and they will report to the Qingyi Guard every month. It is said that this number has already been tens of thousands, and the specific roster has one in the emperor's hand and one in the governor's hand.
It is impossible to know exactly when these secret piles were discovered, Feng Xiuyun once guessed whether it would be because some of them could not bear the hardship, so they were leaked by Shen Weice, but this statement was quickly denied by Cao Zhen. He thought that the placement of hidden piles in all provinces, states and counties all followed the principle of not knowing each other, and even if they were both dark piles, they would not know who was who when they got along day and night.
In this way, the shadow in Feng Xiuyun's heart has expanded a lot, could it be that this roster has been leaked?
Feng Xiuyun and his entourage took a short rest, and then went to the Qinzhou state capital, this time they specially did not live in the state capital but stayed overnight, and also drew a line for the state capital to know the severity. When Zhizhou saw the person, his face changed greatly, and he had heard that King Rui was evil, but he didn't want him to be solemn.
Zhizhou took the group to Yizhuang and pointed to the two corpses covered with white cloth and introduced them to them, "Your Highness, these two bodies are the killed Du Shi and his wife." â
Feng Xiuyun made a look, Jun Hao immediately waved his hand to let Na Zhizhou and his party leave, and Na Zhizhou nodded again and again as if he had received a great forgiveness, bowed his body and led people out.
Jun Hao lifted the white cloth on Du Shi's body, and Wu Xuan on the side pointed to a wound on Du Shi's neck and explained: "Your Highness, you see, it was this sword that took his life. â
Feng Xiuyun looked at him and didn't speak.
sighed without a humble heart, worthy of being the master, really discerning. He continued to explain: "Although these hidden piles do not practice martial arts with us, they still have the kung fu of self-defense, but there are no other wounds on this person's body, and it is a fatal transaction, which shows that the person who did it has deep kung fu, and he has died before he notices."
In the same way, almost all of the hidden piles that were killed were the same wounds, this matter was done by one person, and there was a person with extremely high martial arts hidden in Shenwei. â
"Is it possible that someone deliberately charged Kamui?" Feng Xiuyun thought about it, although Shenwei has appeared for many years, because he has always been the enemy of corrupt officials in the court, although the emperor has been ordering a purge, he actually intends to indulge.
Shenwei is an organization born in troubled times, and the results of being born in prosperous times can be imagined. The court allowed him to save zĂ i, but he opposed it to the court permission, and the court did not allow him to save zĂ i, and he was not allowed to be eradicated. Now that they are vainly attacking the emperor's eyes and ears, then the emperor will have to uproot him.
It's just that......
Wuxuan denied it very firmly, took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms and handed it to Feng Xiuyun, "Your Highness, Shenwei will appear this yellow silk every time he acts, look at this judgment." â
Feng Xiuyun took the yellow silk and shook it, and the yellow silk painted with the totem of Shenwei read: Raise the power of the world with the power of God, the capital of Qinzhou, for the official impropriety, Shenwei in the thirtieth year of Yongjia on the ninth day of the fourth month.
Thinking of the mighty rebel who appeared in front of his mansion a few days ago, he also took out a piece of yellow silk with a judgment written on it and threw it into the air, Feng Xiuyun didn't doubt it, but the doubts in his heart were even greater.
Seeing that he was silent, Wuxuan looked at him and Jun Hao meaningfully, and suddenly asked, "Does Your Highness know that this sword wound can also recognize people?" â
Feng Xiuyun just looked at him, but Jun Hao suddenly burst out with a murderous aura, Wuxuan moved the corners of his lips slightly, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the tragedy of Yongjia Twenty-three." â
Xiaobai has something to say: Do you still remember the twenty-three years of Yongjia? ? I mentioned it at the beginning of the second chapter~~ Hahaha, I finally wrote it**~~ Good chicken jelly, Mark ~~
