"Those two asked to become one of the foreign merchants of the Ming people?" After listening to Song Liang's words, Song Qingshu was very surprised and said: "Could it be that the reason why they want to become the people of the Ming Dynasty is to assassinate His Majesty?" ”

"This is called Su Dongli, it seems that this is so. It's just that I don't know if that's the case with the other one called Ba or something. Song Liang said with a gloomy face.

"These foreign businessmen can now walk in the entire territory of Guangdong Province, and they must immediately order the police stations in various parts of Guangdong to arrest the other foreign businessman who has become a naturalized Ming Dynasty. If the whole of Guangdong could not be found, he might have gone to other provinces, and then he would have to ask His Majesty to order the whole country to be fished by sea. Song Qingshu immediately said to Qian Minglin on the side.

"I have already sent someone to ask Master Li for instructions, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Li Zhaocha will give an order." Qian Minglin's face was not very good-looking. His face is not because of this, it has nothing to do with him; It was that one of the few policemen he had used the most before was killed this time, which made him very unhappy.

"There is also Bao'an City. It is necessary to immediately inform the Bao'an City Bo Division that all the people in this Su Dongli and the other foreign merchant called Zheng He have been arrested, and all the items must be carefully searched one by one. Song Qingshu said again.

Although the foreign businessman whose name they couldn't remember may not be related to this witch Gu case, but such a case is a wrongful killing that has not been spared, not to mention that they will not kill that person now, but they will have to suffer some hardships, and everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong.

Everyone discussed a few more words, and they didn't dare to delay, so they immediately returned to the palace with Su Dongli and met the emperor to report the matter.

……

……

Yun Xi asked Song Liang and others to go to Gao's house early in the morning to search, and sent someone to the Guangzhou Police Department to instruct Qian Minglin to also take people over, and after answering the two copies sent yesterday, the person in charge of the Jinyi Wei in Guangzhou City came over to ask about the situation in Guangzhou City, and asked: "Do you Jinyi Wei have any clues about the witch Gu case and the Caisheng torture case?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and the clues obtained are the same as those of the Guangzhou Police Department, and there are no other clues." Fan Ming immediately knelt down and said.

Guangzhou Jinyiwei's performance this time can be said to have discredited Jinyiwei's previous 'British name'. This time these two major cases, Jin Yiwei you want to say that there is no discovery at all, of course, it is not wrong, but it is not much different from the Guangzhou Police General Office, and it does not reflect the demeanor of the first intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty at all. After that, he inevitably had to be reprimanded and even removed from his post by Qin Song.

But Yun Xi still understands this. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Jinyiwei was attacked twice, and the power of the sub-yamen in other places was greatly weakened, and it was not until the thirty-first year of Hongwu that Yunxi succeeded to the throne before he began to rebuild Jinyiwei.

At first, the reconstruction of Jinyiwei was mainly to re-strengthen the surveillance of officials and other ethnic gathering areas, and only later did it slowly resume spying on the civilian situation. In the second year of Jianye, Yunxi changed the officials to the police, which greatly expanded the governance of the local government over the people, and also established a separate police station, so the local Jinyi guards gave up the yamen to expand the spying on the people, and mainly monitored the officials.

Of course, there are people in the Gao family who are officials in the capital, and they belong to the scope of Jinyiwei's surveillance, and they didn't find that the Gao family was involved in the witch Gu case, and Jinyiwei was a little derelict in his duties, and Yun Xi would also give him some punishments for this. However, Fan Ming's errands on weekdays are very good, when he first came to Guangzhou, he also came to report that Guangzhou's teeth are unstable, and this witch Gu case is completely different from ordinary assassination cases, and it is not easy to find out, so he will not be too harsh.

But thinking of the tooth shop, Yun Xi couldn't help but think: "These tooth shops can't be related to this life harvesting and cutting case or the witch Gu case." He then asked, "Is the Yaxing you reported before involved in these two big cases?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has two things to report to Your Majesty, one of which is related to these tooth lines."

"Your Majesty, although those people who are in the tooth line have been guarding themselves on the surface and have not done anything in the past few days, there seems to be some movement in the secret, which seems to have something to do with the big case of harvesting and cutting."

Fan Ming paused, saw that Yunxi had nothing to say, and then said: "Second, there was a fire in Zhenhai Tower on Yuexiu Mountain, but fortunately, the caretaker noticed it in time and extinguished the fire. ”

"Fire?" Yun Xi, who didn't react to the words of a few tooth shops that might have something to do with the big case of harvesting and cutting just now, paid attention to the fire in Zhenhai Building.

Yaxing is an intermediary in ancient times, a person who helps people talk and do business. It can't be said that the dental industry has no contribution to the society, and Yunxi has not cracked down on the entire industry of the dental industry, but the original official teeth are not among them.

The official tooth shop is the tooth shop appointed by the government, and they also do the business of the general dental shop, and the difference with the general dental shop is that they also bear the obligation to pay taxes to the government.

Of course, since they have to pay taxes, they naturally have to have some benefits. According to the original regulations of the Ming Dynasty, these official teeth who held household documents could monopolize some industries, and many goods entered the city, especially in Dacheng, only through their hands, and they made a lot of money with this hand.

After that, they give a small percentage of the money they earn to the government as taxes.

Yunhee can't tolerate such a thing. Not to mention that the commercial taxes that the imperial court can receive in this way are not even one-ten-thousandth of the money earned by the tooth shops, and he can't bear the hindrance of commerce alone.

Most of the goods have to pass through their hands, and they have to eat and take cards, but because they are in a completely monopoly market, it is too easy to make money, so as long as they can pay enough taxes stipulated by the government, enough to bribe officials and daily luxury expenses, there is not much motivation to make money, and sometimes they are too lazy to make money for others to make money, for example, who wants to transport some goods to Guangzhou for sale, the tooth shop will sometimes drag on for a few days, even if they send bribes, which seriously hinders the development of business.

Of course, under the old system, their approach was understandable. The documents of monopoly trade are issued by the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households can naturally take them back. In addition to bribery, these tooth people have no way to influence the decision-making of officials - if the peasants become chaotic, the government may also appease or suppress according to the situation, and the businessmen will be suppressed for trouble, and some of the tooth shops who are willing to be officials do not dare to make trouble. Therefore, if they lose the documents of the household department, no matter how much money they save, they will not be able to keep it, it is better to mix it like this, and one day they will not be coveted by others if they lose the documents of the household department.

Therefore, Yunxi will not target these official teeth alone, but reform the entire system when Xu officials were changed to police, and set up a tax police to collect taxes instead of official teeth.

Therefore, it is normal for these officials to be dissatisfied with Yun Xi, taking away people's wealth is like killing their parents, and it cannot be said that it is very normal to mix with the case of harvesting and cutting, but he can understand it. Although it was found that they were indeed involved in the cutting case, they were still dealt with in accordance with the law.

But when he heard that someone was going to destroy Zhenhai Tower, he was not so calm. There is an open field around the place in Zhenhailou, and the grass and trees nearby have a high water content because of the rain in Guangdong, unless you are a fool will believe that it is a fire.

Yun Xi immediately thought of Feng Shui. 'Doesn't it mean that Zhenhai Tower is the dragon vein of Guangzhou? If the mastermind behind these two big cases did it, what was his purpose? I have no intention of setting the capital in Guangzhou. ’

Yun Xi really couldn't figure it out, so he decided to wait until he caught the mastermind behind the scenes.

He asked Fan Ming if he had anything else to report, and when he didn't hear anything, he asked him to retreat.

Yun Xi then returned to the backyard and went to Xi Yi's dormitory. Yun Xi didn't go to Xiyi's dormitory yesterday, but today she felt that she was going to see her after she recovered a little.

When he passed, early spring was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding Xiyi porridge and drinking. Xiyi is now unconscious and can't eat by herself, so she is fed gruel and meat soup by early spring and others every day.

And since yesterday, it has also added medicinal food to replenish the body. Although it is said that when he catches the person who is behind the scenes and performs the evil spell on Yun Hee, he will let him unlock the evil art in Xi Yi's place, but who knows if he can be captured alive? It may be easy to kill such a person, but it is not so easy to capture alive.

Besides, even if he is captured, he will be able to unravel the evil art for Xiyi? This is the sin of Ling Chi's execution, and Yun Xi is not sure.

Therefore, Yun Xi can only adopt a slightly risky strategy: nourish Xiyi's body, let her make up for it a little better, and then Zhang Sanfeng will unravel the evil art.

Yun Xi waited for her to finish feeding Xi Yi, sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Xi Yi for a while, and told some things in early spring and late autumn, and got up to leave her dormitory.

At this time, it was already noon, and Yun Xi was about to go to dinner, but at this moment, Feng Xishan, who escorted the Gao family to the Guangzhou Police Department, returned to the palace, saying that there was something about two major cases to report to the emperor.

Of course, Yun Xi immediately met with him and learned that there was conclusive evidence that Gao Jingde was indeed involved in these two major cases.

Yun Xi was not bad, and immediately thought of Li Guangrui, who was waiting in the outer study, and wanted to give him an order to reward him.

But Yun Xi was thinking about it, and he heard Feng Xishan say that Wizard Wude and another Ning Cai confessed that the main envoy was named Su Dongli.

Yun Xi's memory is also good, of course, because he just replied yesterday to a letter sent from Bao'an City Bosi mentioning the names of the two naturalized foreign businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, so I remembered that one of the naturalized foreign businessmen was called Su Dongli.

This name is not very common among Han Chinese, so it is not possible that different people from other countries have the same Chinese name. Thinking like this, Yun Xi had basically concluded that he was one of the two businessmen who became naturalized in the Ming Dynasty.

So he immediately said: "Pass the decree and search for Su Dongli and Ba Song, two foreign merchants who have just become naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, throughout Guangdong." ”
