A man in a white cloak appeared in the imperial toilet, and he was the Shadow.

"The whole story has been investigated, the brother-in-law of Wang Tanzhi, the waiting lawsuit, owed a sum of money in the gambling house, and was forced to be anxious, and put the idea on the intelligence news, he used his identity as the deputy director of the Archives to steal the privacy of the officials recorded in the archives of the museum and sell them on the black market, at first he only sold the privacy of officials on the files in the archives of the number of people, and then the demand on the black market became bigger and bigger, higher and higher, and gradually some people wanted to obtain the privacy of higher officials, and even the ministers of the imperial court!"

"He Fang's greed was great, so he began to coerce, bribe, and collude with a scribe named Fang Cheng in the local number archives to steal the privacy of officials on the files of the land number archives, because every once in a while there are patrols to come to take inventory and verification, they dare not take the files directly, they can only forcibly memorize!"

"Because the person who entered and exited the lawsuit was to search his body, except for clothes, he was not allowed to bring anything in and out, and they relied on their memory to bring the official's privacy out of the lawsuit, so the two have never been found!"

Later, the two people sold more news on the black market, and were inadvertently discovered by Liu Min, a servant of King Jing's door, after King Jing learned the news, he sent someone to arrest He Fang, and after interrogation, he learned the identity of He Fang and the real function of waiting for the lawsuit, King Jing coerced Wang Tanzhi with He Fang's matter, He Fang is Wang Tanzhi's brother-in-law, Wang Tanzhi knew that if King Jing reported the matter to His Majesty, His Majesty would be furious, and it would inevitably implicate him, he had to be subject to King Jing, only afraid that among the ministers and high-ranking officials of the court, if there is anything unclean, All of them have been mastered by King Jing, as for how many people were forced to take refuge in King Jing because the handle was mastered by King Jing, it is unknown! ”

Zhao Junsheng understands that when the ministers, officials, and even military generals of the dynasty, there are only a few people who are really clean and spotless, and most people have some problems, and this problem is big and small, if it is a small problem, even if it is known, it will not cause much impact, if it is a big problem, as long as it is mastered by King Jing, King Jing can use this to force them to commit it.

Zhao Junsheng felt a chill in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "When was He Fang's private news of selling officials' privacy first?" How did you get such a detailed investigation? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, He Fang first sold news in February of the new year, and was discovered by King Jing's people in late April, that is, not long after His Majesty went to Liangzhou! The courtiers investigated and learned so much because one of the parties, Fang Cheng, was still alive, and He Fang was killed by Wang Tanzhi last night! ”

Zhao Junsheng narrowed his eyes: "After the incident, Wang Tanzhi didn't get angry and kill He Fang and Fang Cheng?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Tanzhi was indeed extremely angry after being coerced by King Jing, and went to kill Fang Cheng, he knocked Fang Cheng unconscious, tied him hand and foot in a sack, carried him to the river, tied a stone and threw it into the river, so that it would not leave any traces, but he didn't know that Fang Cheng had a kung fu of holding his breath, Fang Cheng woke up after being thrown into the river, and used his breath-holding kung fu to bite off the rope and sack and escape!"

"When the minister went to Fang Cheng's house to investigate secretly, he found that his family had moved away, and found out that their family had moved to Xinfeng County through the official household registration room, and it was very difficult to move the household registration in these years, and it was even more difficult to forge the household registration out of thin air, and the minister found that Fang Cheng's wife remarried a person named Lu Dayong in Xinfeng County four months after his death, and found through investigation that this Lu Dayong was a person who had been missing for more than ten years, and this person was only seven or eight years old at the time, and a month after Fang Cheng's death, Lu Dayong suddenly returned home, and the minister found out the strangeness of the matter, After the investigation, it was found that this Lu Dayong turned out to be the dead Fang Cheng, and after the minister knocked him unconscious, after interrogation, he recruited everything! ”

"As for He Fang, yesterday Wang Tanzhi secretly returned to Chang'an and learned that His Majesty had issued an order to remove him from all official positions, and ordered the lawsuit to arrest him with all his might, only to find that he had embarked on the road of no return, and in anger he arrested He Fang from his home and killed him in a dilapidated house in the southwest of the city!"

Zhao Junsheng is very calm, the calmer he is, the more angry he is in his heart, he trusts Wang Tanzhi very much and has great expectations, but he didn't expect Wang Tanzhi to not keep his heart at the critical moment, there is a fluke mentality, so he is willing to be coerced by King Jing.

"Where are Wang Tanzhi and his entourage who went to the Western Regions with him now?" Zhao Junsheng flushed the toilet, got up and walked to the sink to wash his hands.

Shadow said: "In a house in the south of the city that only he knows, it is a safe house he set up for himself, there are all kinds of organs, I am afraid that there are still hidden secret passages, and the minister did not rush in to investigate!" ”

Zhao Junsheng washed his hands and wiped them clean with a towel, "Do you think Wang Tanzhi will still contact King Jing or go to King Jing's mansion?" ”

"This minister does not dare to speculate on whether he is still in contact with King Jing or going to King Jing's mansion, it depends on whether he thinks King Jing has enough courage! If the minister is King Jing, after learning that Wang Tanzhi is wanted by the lawsuit, he will definitely try his best to find him and exterminate him, so that he will not be caught by His Majesty for evidence! ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, "I'm going to look at what these sons of mine are capable of!" You don't have to worry about other things, you go and inform the phantom, let him stare at Wang Tanzhi, don't let him run away, this person's martial arts are not ordinary, ordinary people are not his opponents, if he wants to escape, there are few people in the world who can stop him! ”

"In addition, I want you to check how many officials' private information has been sold on the black market or provided to King Jing by Wang Tanzhi, He Fang, and Fang Cheng, I need a detailed roster!"

The shadow thought for a while, bowed down and said: "He Fang is dead, and he can't get the information of the relevant officials directly from King Jing, and even King Jing doesn't know the privacy of the officials who were sold to black, Fang Cheng knows some, and Wang Tanzhi also knows part of it, but according to His Majesty's request, he can't be touched for the time being, so he can only continue to pry open Fang Cheng's mouth, but ······ The minister thought of another breakthrough! ”

"What a breakthrough!"

"News dealers on the black market!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Yes, in addition to the roster mastered by King Jing, only the news dealers on the black market have the most comprehensive control, you can do it, King Jing doesn't have to worry about it, I have other arrangements!" ”

"No!"

Xingyuanfang.

This is the hottest small commodity distribution center in the whole Chang'an City in addition to the West Market, the West Market is officially managed, and here is a trading market spontaneously formed by the people, and this trading market is not on the ground, but underground!

The huge underground drainage system in Chang'an City is extremely developed, and some things that are not allowed to be sold in the regular market can be bought in this underground trading market.

This is one of the specific trading locations of the black market in Chang'an City, and it is the largest and fixed.

Among the people living in this underground world, there are fugitive slaves, fugitives, and river thieves, and most of them are people who do not have household registration.

Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is very lively, and business on the black market is still very hot.

After the Shadow came out of the palace, he came directly here, although this underground world is not officially managed, but it is not without rules.

Outside a shop full of groceries on the side of the street, the Shadow looked up and walked in with his sword in his hand.

The shopkeeper who was dialing the plan just glanced at it and continued to settle the score.

The shadow walked directly through the shop into the backyard, and in the southwest corner of the backyard there was a door, and two strong men with long knives hanging from their waists stared at him with blazing eyes.

The shadow glanced at the two strong men, passed by the two of them with his sword and walked into the door, he walked down a staircase three feet deep in the door, and then looked, the underground drainage channel became a street, and the shops were dug up next to each other, each store was full of all kinds of goods, most of them were some daily necessities, but some contraband could also be seen.

The entire underground market is bustling with people, which is in stark contrast to the sparse people on the ground at this time, and the market is withering.

"What do you want? Look at you like a swordsman, boy here is a high-grade steel sword, which is transformed from a lieutenant colonel-level combat knife, absolutely genuine, sharpened iron like clay, and it is cheaper for you! A small man from the weapons shop approached the shadow and asked.

Weapons in the army are definitely contraband among contraband, once they find that someone is selling on the market, someone will immediately come to check, and here, the little guy in this weapon shop actually sells loudly without any scruples.

Shadow with a hat, wearing a black coarse cloth cloak, and holding a sword in his arms, such an image is definitely the standard for swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, and it is normal in the eyes of the weapon shop, looking at this underground market, two or three out of ten are dressed in such an image.

The shadow stopped: "I don't want a sword, I want news!" ”

The weapon shop boy suddenly lost interest, turned around and was about to walk back into the shop.

The shadow grabbed the little guy's arm, "Find someone to sell the news!" ”

The little guy didn't look at the shadows, but at the ground, tilting his toes, his thumb and index finger and middle finger twisting constantly.

"Dangdangdang" sounded, and five copper plates with a face value of ten wen fell into the hands of the little guy.

The little guy looked at it, his face showed a look of satisfaction, and he looked up at the two strong men who were standing together and chatting not far away, "Do you see those two people?" They are Kangye's people, all the news trading in this black market is controlled by Kangye, Kangye is the master of this black market, you may not be able to buy news if you want to! ”

"Why?"

"Because of the buying and selling of news, Kang Ye only does regular customer business, you? No one to introduce, right? ”

The Shadow shook his head.

"Then you better go back and find an introducer to come again, if you go rashly, I'm afraid you won't even see Kang Ye's face!"
