At Qin Ming's signal, Bai Pao left with a lot of secret guards, found a few eunuchs and palace maids, and went to the palace to look for suspicious people.

Sure enough, Qin Ming's information was not released, and as soon as he searched, more than a dozen suspicious people were found in the palace.

The white robes were not polite, and they were all arrested.

Among them, there are so many masters of the third and second grades, who have also been cleaned up by the white robes.

Catch what you can, and kill what you can't.

Then continue to look around for suspicious people.

On the other side, Qin Ming continued to watch the competition of talents between the two countries.

First of all, Wenbi, the top ten in the imperial examination on Qin Ming's side, almost beat the children of several literary families in the south.

Until the afternoon, the competition ended, and Nanguo was defeated.

Except for the people who participated in the competition, several envoys from the southern kingdom did not seem to have anything to lose.

This made Qin Ming, who saw everything in his eyes, shake his head helplessly, and complained in his heart that these people had poor acting skills.

One by one, they are so unserious, for fear that others will not know that they have another purpose.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu......" The envoy who took the lead in the south stepped forward and bowed and said:

"This time, Wenbi, I admit defeat in the south! Tomorrow, I'll come back to Wubi! ”

Qin Ming sneered and said, "Okay, I, wait and see!" ”

With that, Qin Ming got up, left the square, and returned to the Qingxin Palace.

The civil and military officials also left the palace one after another, talking to each other about this competition.

The envoys of the southern kingdom also left the palace in a low-key manner and returned to Honglu Temple.

After going back, the envoy who took the lead immediately said to the person under him: "Go out secretly, contact our people, and see if you have found it!" ”

One of his subordinates nodded, and immediately sneaked out of Honglu Temple.

But he didn't know that when this person sneaked out, he was also targeted by the white robe sent by Qin Ming.

The white robe is very strong, and stalking people is a strong point, so at this moment, I followed that person, walked around the imperial capital city a few times, and went to a remote inn.

In the inn, there was a young man in his twenties, as well as several middle-aged people.

After the white robe followed here, he cautiously went to the roof of the house, listened carefully, and listened carefully, and heard the people inside speak:

"Your Highness, is there a harvest?"

"The people sent to the palace by this king haven't come out yet, I don't know what's going on!"

"What? It hasn't come out for so long, isn't it already ......"

"It's likely to be discovered!"

"This little emperor of Chu is not simple...... Your Highness, should we continue to send people tomorrow? ”

The young man was silent for a long time, and said: "Pai, anyway, the three six-rank masters are gone, and it doesn't matter if you fold a few more four-grade and five-grade ones, anyway, you must find something, otherwise, I really can't go back and explain to my father!" ”

……

At night, the white robe arrived at the Qingxin Palace: "Your Majesty, it seems that the other party has come to a prince from the southern country, but he will not show up next year and control everything in secret." ”

"The Prince? Interesting, the governor of the southern kingdom has a memory, he killed one of them last time and sent a prince this time, knowing that he would not show up in secret. ”

Qin Ming said, getting up and pacing around the room.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Bai Pao asked.

Qin Ming said: "Tomorrow, you will lay out in the palace, wait for his people to come, and when they come, just take them all!" ”

"Yes, it's strange to say, why did they send people to the palace again and again? Doesn't it look like I'm here to assassinate you? The white robe was puzzled.

Qin Ming smiled and didn't say anything, and the white robe didn't ask much, so he bowed and left.

"Elixir of Immortality...... Is the temptation really that big? ”

In his impression, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, was very obsessed with finding the elixir of immortality.

Later, the emperors of all dynasties had dreams of immortality.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the emperor of the southern kingdom wants to get it.

However, Qin Ming felt that immortality did not make much sense.

"It's not a good thing to live too long, like me, I don't care how long I live, na, being a man, it doesn't matter how long I live, the most important thing is to be happy!"

Qin Ming, who had an open expression on his face, said lightly.

But at this moment, suddenly the system dinged in my mind:

"Ding, new quest released.

Mission: Anger the Southland!

Time: Unlimited!

Reward: One chance to draw at random!

Punishment: Reduced life expectancy by five years! ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then went crazy: "Is there a mistake?" Mission failure to reduce life expectancy by five years? it? Is it so ruthless? ”

The system replied, "Didn't the host say that it doesn't care how long it lives?" Now, the most important thing is to be happy! ”

Qin Ming was silent, looking at the virtual system character on the virtual page that was a little tempting and under-pumped, Qin Ming really wanted to drag her out and let her understand the wildness and violence of men!

No way, what kind of gas to put with the system?

"Anger the South? Simple! Qin Ming didn't care, he wasn't afraid of the southern country, and he wasn't afraid of angering the southern country.

Thinking of this, he continued to watch the twists and turns.

In recent days, the matter of land reform has been resolved, Qin Ming no longer worries, and the taxes are also in place, this time the tax is two silver, a full 300 million taels of silver.

With this money, Qin Ming gave a death order to the household department, and it must be saved.

Now, the emperor's relatives hardly use the money here, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to be greedy.

A relatively small part of this money is used to distribute money to officials across the country, and almost half of it will be used as strategic reserves.

In the face of some wars that may break out at any time, sufficient silver taels are definitely a confidence.

Without money, you can't fight.

After spending money and the affairs of the people, Qin Ming was most concerned about the cultivation of those dozens of food seeds.

The household department often plays, so far, the seeds given by the system, it is still very good, and the household department says that these seeds are well cultivated.

After handling the folds, Qin Ming rested.

Early the next morning, the square, continued to start the martial arts competition.

There are a lot of masters from Nanguo this time, to be honest.

It's a pity that the three six-grade ones were abolished by Qin Ming's poison, and they were unwilling to be tried in the prison and committed suicide.

In addition, there are some second-grade, third-grade, and even fourth-grade, and there are some who die and catch them.

There are still a few fifth- and fourth-grade ones left, and today's task is to go to the palace.

Therefore, the young people who participated in the competition were still second-class, and they were not enough to see at all.

When competing, the same old look, several leaders who were martial arts were abused!

On the other side, several four-grade and five-grade people took advantage of the competition and sneaked into the palace again.

It's a pity, in the face of the game that Qin Ming had set up a long time ago, even if it was a five-grade, it was not enough to see it, and a few people were once again taken down by Bai Pao and a few others.

At this point, the masters from the south are basically all folded here.

The competition on the day was also a fiasco.

The envoy said that he admitted defeat on the spot, and told Qin Ming that they would play in the imperial capital for a few days before leaving.

Can Qin Ming still let them play? opened his mouth and said: "Play, there is no need to go to the court tomorrow morning, you let your prince come to the palace to meet me!" ”
