Chapter 53: The boss behind the scenes is King Qing?
East Palace
Zhu Youxiao has black circles under his eyes and is rushing to make mahjong, if he can, Zhu Youxiao must not want to be a carpenter anymore, it is too bullying, it is too bullying!
I was originally in the Ministry of Industry, happy to be a small official, nothing to study something, make some gadgets, in addition to Yuefeng, lack of money and nothing to go out to play two chairs, rest Mu day can also go to Pingkangfang for a visit, although not rich, but also free and happy!
But when he met the prince, everything changed, the first day was fine, lettering, this thing he would have been when he was an apprentice, but at night, I don't know what the prince was crazy about, and in the middle of the night they carved something called mahjong, and kindly reminded themselves that they didn't have to stay up all night......
The next day, just had time to rest a little, and was pulled up to work, although it was not an all-nighter, but in the middle of the night, the prince did not know what to do, but in the middle of the night gathered thousands of guards, thousands of people acted together, the sound of people, horses, one after another, endlessly, until dawn, quiet, this is not asleep.
But the good days didn't last long, and they were called again, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told them excitedly that they would add money to them, and reward them with ten taels of silver for every mahjong game that was produced! Keep them up for it!
Although it is a very glorious thing to work for the royal family, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family, this is as it should be, but, but Zhu Youxiao really wanted to sleep, but looking at the guards standing not far away staring at them, Zhu Youxiao had to wash his face, slapped himself twice, and after sobering himself up, he began to get busy.
If you can, in the next life, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not be a carpenter!
After Yu Zhiqian gave the order, he opened the drifting bottle, yes Jing Ke gave himself the drifting bottle, Yu Zhiqian didn't know what this second fool wanted to do, curiosity prompted him and the second fool to do the same thing, the second fool threw the drifting bottle, and he asked Zhang Xiaojing to take someone to salvage.
Opening the sealed bamboo tube, Yu Zhiqian took out a note from it, and six words were written on the upper panel: "His Royal Highness the Prince,......
"I'm Cao, I'm sick!" Yu Zhiqian directly crumpled the note and threw it out, do you want to reply, all the commanders, I'm here? And then tell Jing Ke? Let him send someone to salvage again? Not idle enough!
"Sleep, sleep, must sleep!" Yu Zhiqian lay directly on the bed, no matter what happened now, he couldn't stop himself from sleeping, he was so tired, he was so tired when he was a prince, let alone the emperor?
When Yu Zhiqian opened his eyes again, he found that it was already afternoon, and the sun was already in the west, about two o'clock in the afternoon.
After being stunned for a while, Shen Wansan walked in with a basin of water: "Your Highness, Commander Jing has come to you and said that the people from Nanyue have entered the water prison, and asked when you are free to interrogate!" ”
"There are also the eighth princes, the fifth princes, and several ministers of the court and the central government have also come to visit, and they want to buy a mahjong to go!"
"What else?"
"There are also two of the Qinglou women you arrested yesterday, two of them have drug addiction, the rest are fine, Fan Jin is also awake, but he is on a hunger strike!"
"Got it!"
Yu Zhiqian said as he dipped a willow branch in a little fine salt, began to brush his teeth, and thought about the priority of the matter in his mind, first of all, the South Vietnamese envoys need to deal with it earlier, and they can't delay, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Then there is Fan Jin, the investigation of the imperial examination fraud case so far, except for the arrest of some small officials, there has been no major breakthrough, Yu Zhiqian feels that there should be some connection between the imperial examination fraud case and this drug-related case, and the specific connection point, Yu Zhiqian is not very clear for the time being.
The last thing is to sell mahjong, although Yu Zhiqian is ready to put this matter first, but as a person with discipline and conscience, after crossing, he must be for the country and the people instead of his own selfish interests, Yu Zhiqian used to watch what he was frightening every step and wanted to complain, you have crossed over, I don't know how to revitalize China and run to fall in love? Ahh
However, Yu Zhiqian didn't realize that his dream was to be a free king, fifty steps and a hundred steps, I don't know......
"Let's go to Dali Temple first, let Zhang Xiaojing interrogate Fan Jin, and see if he can ask anything from his mouth, as well as the housekeeper in Lu San and Fengyue Xiaozhu, don't let them die, and, find someone to send some silver to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, send thirty taels, by the way, mahjong, tell those who want to buy mahjong, accept the reservation, pay a deposit of three hundred taels, and seven hundred taels of mahjong!"
"Your Highness, seven hundred taels?"
Shen Wansan opened his mouth wide, this is simply a money grab, Shen Wansan knows very well, how much does these mahjong cost, ten taels of silver must be counted as the place where they are made in the East Palace, and it will be seven hundred taels when it is sold!
"What do you know, go to the market outside to buy a good-looking box, and then put it in neatly, and engrave a few words on the side, the East Palace Producer, you say it's worth seven hundred taels of silver! Just your name is Shen Wansan, you are blind with a good name, remember, talk about the price with someone when you buy the box, don't exceed ten taels, do you hear! ”
"Whoa!"
Yu Zhiqian put on his clothes, thought about it, there didn't seem to be any girls in the East Palace, it seemed that there were a lot of girls brought back last night, and now Fengyue Xiaozhu has been copied by himself, what should these girls do?
And his own Uncle Eight Kings came to find him, not only did he not ask himself for the guilt, but also bought mahjong? His eighth uncle is also well-connected in the court, and it is impossible not to know what is happening in the court today.
Doesn't Uncle Bawang know that someone in his wind and rain Xiaozhu is selling drugs?
Yu Zhiqian squinted his eyes and thought about this possibility, if he really didn't know, then things would be fun, someone was selling drugs in his Eighth Uncle's shop, although Tang Law did not stipulate that they were not allowed to sell them before! But the items that were paid tribute to the South Vietnamese State, the whole incident is interesting, once his father used drugs, and then became addicted......
Yu Zhiqian found that his thinking suddenly became broader, and a whole new world opened up in front of him, which was full of all kinds of conspiracies.
However, Yu Zhiqian still can't figure out who the final beneficiary is? But I feel that someone behind me is under a big flag, and I always feel that my back is cold, whether it is because I wear less, or because someone is blowing cold wind, and I still need more evidence.
"Zhang Zhan!"
"Wechen is here!"
"The Fengyue Xiaozhu girl brought yesterday, under the arrangement of good life, the drug addiction attack was thrown to Jinyiwei, no, forget it, let's wait for the palace to finish the trial, Uncle Bawang will also give an explanation!"
Yu Zhiqian touched his chin, and after making sure that nothing was forgotten, he rushed towards the Jinyi Guard's yamen.
Jin Yiwei, a guard in a fancy costume, I don't know why the emperor arranged a job for them, that is, shoveling, yes, Jin Yiwei also has a title, shovel officer, basically when Jin Yiwei goes out, there is no urgent task, he has to shovel, Yu Zhiqian is very incomprehensible.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After Yu Zhiqian came to Jinyiwei, he directly bumped into Yang Xu, and after this guy saw Yu Zhiqian, he saluted and left in a hurry.
"This guy is really strange, is this palace so terrible?"
Yu Zhiqian touched his chin and looked at Zhang Zhan curiously.
"Your Highness, maybe Deputy Commander Yang has something urgent!"
"Really? Let's go, let's go to the trial first! ”
"Whoa!"
Jinyi Wei Water Prison, a total of 27 envoys of the South Vietnamese State were all arrested, and the chief envoy Ruan An was fixed on a wooden frame, which is the kind of wooden frame like a cross, Yu Zhiqian once suspected when he was a child that a certain cross was stolen by Europeans to learn from China, and then it happened to be nailed to a person called Su, so it became a cross!
"The prince has arrived!"
Jing Ke was interrogating, and when he saw Yu Zhiqian coming, he immediately got up to greet him.
Yu Zhiqian waved his hand lightly, signaling that he did not need to be polite, and then sat in the position of the chief judge.
"Commander Jing, let them all step down!"
"Whoa!"
Soon, only Yu Zhiqian, Jing Ke, and Ruan An were tied up in the interrogation room.
"Say, who instructed you to pay tribute to the Immortal Grass to give me Datang!"
Yu Zhiqian crossed Erlang's legs, holding opium in his hand, and shook it in front of this guy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Tang Dynasty prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and we and other remote small countries know that the two countries are at war without slashing, and our country is on the side of the Tang Dynasty, why does the Tang Dynasty treat me like this now, I don't accept it, I want to see the Tang Emperor!"
Ruan An's Chinese is good, with a strong southern accent, but Yu Zhiqian can understand, Yu Zhiqian smiled: "You are right, my Tang etiquette state, friends are here, we treat each other with good wine, enemies are coming, we also have swords, let's say, who instructed you to sacrifice opium, by the way, it is this fairy grass, and it also lists the detailed methods of use!" ”
"This fairy grass is a precious specialty of my South Vietnam, which can enhance the awakening of the mind, and my king has a sincere heart to contribute this divine object to the Tang Emperor......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, you can't know the efficacy of this thing, you Nanyue King doesn't have the guts, hehe, let's say, who ordered you to send it!"
Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Ruan An was silent for a while, Yu Zhiqian slowly stood up, looked at the torture detainers next to him, there was nothing else except the leather whip stained with water, and couldn't help sighing: "Commander Jing, your Jinyiwei's cell, there are really few torture tools!" ”
"Your Highness, there are already a lot of torture tools in Jinyiwei's cell, and I have all the torture tools of my Datang here!"
"Where's the brazier?"
"Brazier? What to do with that? ”
Yu Zhiqian glanced at this guy: "Put a brazier, burn some charcoal, and then put a few sticks, and after it is red, burn it on the prisoner!" Haven't heard of this kind of punishment? ”
Jing Ke's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, this method is very good, Jing Ke is going to let people prepare!" ”
“……”
"Also, get some vices!"
"What is a vice?"
Yu Zhiqian thought for a while: "It's like scissors, but it's thicker, it can clamp people's fingernails, and if the prisoner doesn't recruit, you can pull out the ......."
Jing Ke's eyes lit up again, and the whole person wanted to catch someone over and be eager to try.
"If you can't pull out the nail cover, you can use a toothpick to ......"
Yu Zhiqian said as he spoke, while looking at Ruan An intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Zhiqian's words, part of what he said to Jing Ke, and more to this guy, it was obvious that after this guy heard Yu Zhiqian's punishment, he was so frightened that his legs began to tremble.
"Tell me, who is it!"
"It's the Eighth Prince, King Qing came to us and asked us to contribute this fairy grass to Emperor Tang, if we don't do it, he will send troops to destroy South Vietnam, and I have no choice but to do it, this matter is all done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with South Vietnam!"
Is this a confession?
Yu Zhiqian stared at this guy in some surprise, his bones were so soft? Yu Zhiqian also wants to experience what it is like to extort confessions by torture, no one will care about it anyway, there is no Weibo these days, there is no this and that, it is not like modern times, prisoners can't be touched, and ancient prisoners can toss as much as they like.
"Eighth Prince, King Qing!"
Yu Zhiqian stared at the guy in front of him and asked again.
"Yes, it's the Eighth Prince, King Qing!"
"Did the Eighth Prince tell you personally?"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince personally told me, let me dedicate these things to the Tang Emperor, and also tell me how to use them, and let me write them into the gift list!" Ruan An insisted that King Qing had done this.
"What proof do you have!"
Ruan An thought for a while: "Gold, and gold, the Eighth Prince gave me a box of gold, which I have always carried with me, and there is an engraved seal of King Qing's private silver on it!" ”
"Jing Ke!"
"Whoa!"
After Jing Ke heard this, he gave Yu Zhiqian a salute, and then quickly left the torture room, and soon walked in with a wooden box half a meter long, and put it on the table, but the table in the interrogation room was overwhelmed and collapsed directly.
"By the way, Jing Ke, you drifting bottle looking for me and asking me what I'm doing!"
Yu Zhiqian opened the box and asked Jing Ke curiously.
"Your Highness, you received it?"
Jing Ke's eyes lit up, and then he thought for a while and said: "It seems that the moat can indeed transmit news, and I will let people strengthen the supervision around the moat to prevent ......."
"Forget it, I'll send someone to salvage it, next time I have something to do and go directly to the East Palace, the drifting bottle is too slow!"
"Whoa!"
What Yu Zhiqian didn't know was that Jing Ke still wrote down the way of transmitting the drifting bottle, and how many years later, it actually came in handy at some moments.
After the box was opened, it was indeed a whole box of gold bricks, neatly placed in the box, gold was not a currency in circulation in this era, but the value of gold was very high, and it could be exchanged for silver in the bank, but the gold yield was not high, and it was very precious.
"Producer of Qingwangfu!"
These five words are engraved on the back of the gold, and Qingwangfu is Yu Zhiqian's eighth uncle, a fat man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
ps:I have one update a day.,It's 4000 a chapter.,If two more are 2000 a chapter.,Isn't this three twilight four,Morning four twilight three?,If the new book period is updated too soon, you can't eat any recommended resources.,There is such a thing as copying book reviews.,Is the writer called copying? It's called borrowing.
There is also a book review area that says I plagiarized others, the book he said is called the Great Wei Court, it is a very famous historical novel, many people have read it, there are some plots in my book that will be similar, such as the part of selling paintings, Da Wei is stealing the paintings of the six princes to sell, my protagonist is writing things to sell, that part of the idea does come from Da Wei, but it was modified and added his own things in it, if this is called plagiarism, I have nothing to say.
Finally, ask for a wave of recommendation votes! Reward, investment, and do you think the eighth prince is behind the scenes?
