The strong smell of blood in the room muffled the aroma of the mutton hot pot, a layer of corpses was spread on the ground, and the Shadow held a sword drooping, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword.

There were also some thugs outside the door with weapons in their hands, all of them turned pale, looking at the shadows in horror, no one dared to rush in again, more than 30 people had died in this small room, and some of the corpses were even stacked in three layers.

Konstantin, who was sitting on the edge of the hot pot, showed a hint of horror on his face, but he was still relatively calm and did not panic.

"Your swordsmanship is very powerful, the most powerful person I have ever seen, I have to admit it, but I just said, I am a businessman, I never make loss-making transactions, anyone who wants to get what he wants from me, must trade with me!"

"The roster you need, I have! But I won't give it to you for nothing, let alone give it to you willingly, no matter what you do to me, even kill me, I won't give you the roster! ”

At this time, the emaciated old man outside the door hurriedly walked in and said, "Kang Ye, it's not worth it, it's not worth it!" Isn't it just a roster, just give it to him, we have a saying that the green mountains are left without worrying about no firewood, now the situation is stronger than people, and heroes don't suffer immediate losses! ”

The shadow stared at Konstantin: "If you don't hand in the roster, everyone here will die!" ”

The thugs outside the door looked frightened one by one, and retreated without a trace of their weapons.

The emaciated old man hurriedly said: "Don't do it, don't do it, we will hand over the roster, but you must leave immediately after taking the roster, and promise not to come back in the future!" ”

"As long as the roster is true, I don't want to come again!"

The emaciated old man hurriedly looked at Konstantin: "Kang Ye, this is the foundation that you have managed with great difficulty for more than 20 years, it can't just be over, this master has no enmity with us, he only needs things, and the roster is not worth a few dollars, why put his own life and all his brothers into it?" You see······"

Konstantin was forced to be helpless, if he didn't hand it over, he was afraid that these subordinates would immediately turn against him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Give it to him!" ”

"Derre!" The emaciated old man immediately walked to a small room next to him, and quickly brought a roster to Shadow.

Shadow took the roster and flipped through it, took the sword and turned to leave quickly, without any fuss.

This killing god is finally gone, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

At night, a singing and dancing banquet is held in the palace, and the royal family and relatives of the imperial family, some ministers and their families are invited to attend.

The scene was big and lively, with the men sitting on one side and the women on the other.

This song and dance banquet not only included a wine banquet, but also opera, juggling, animal taming and other performances, among which the court dancers performed large-scale songs and dances, specially accompanied by palace musicians, and even used large musical instruments such as chimes.

The operas that were performed in the afternoon are no longer repeated at night, but are replaced with new operas.

In addition to the large-scale songs and dances performed by the dancing girls in the palace, there are also small and individual songs and dances performed by the folk dancing girls, all of whom come from the major folk green buildings, and they are all Qingqi people who sell their arts but do not sell their bodies.

In addition, there are several juggling troupes, all of which come from the people, whether it is from the size of the juggling troupe, the personnel, and the relevant yamen in the palace have carried out detailed checks.

With the stability of the Daqian Dynasty, the people's lives became more and more prosperous, and the cultural aspect also ushered in a blowout development, in addition to literature, folk art is also developing rapidly, such as shadow puppetry, chess art, calligraphy and painting, piano art, tea art.

At this time, after a shadow puppet performance, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong applauded happily, and other members of the royal family, the imperial family, ministers, ministers and family members all applauded one after another.

Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, this shadow puppet show is performed well, the characters and voices are vivid, it is the best shadow puppet show I have ever seen, I should appreciate it!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Okay, reward!" ”

The eunuch next to him promised: "No! ”

The shadow puppet performers came out from behind the curtain and saluted everyone, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After these artists retreated, Zhao Junsheng asked, "What is the next performance?" ”

The chief eunuch Kang Yide replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ten ministers of the dynasty and the daughters of the families of the military generals are all not out of the cabinet, and the next embroidery competition will be held by them, and the embroidery of a proposition will be completed within the specified time, and three of the ten will be selected to win, and the winner will be rewarded by Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's invite all these daughters out!"

The eunuchs carried ten pieces out, all the tools and materials were ready, and the ten young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet lined up and came out in turn to salute Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, and the imperial relatives, ministers and family members next to them waved their hands when they saw their daughters, signaling them not to be nervous.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Concubine on your New Year's happiness and longevity!"

Hua Mulan smiled and raised her hand and said: "Okay, all of them are beautiful and lovely, any one of them is the color of the city and the country, if anyone marries one of you, it is really a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation, get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Concubine!" The top ten beauties got up one after another, and one by one they were indeed as beautiful as flowers and smart.

Wan Yutong said at this time: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of treasures at home for these daughters, and it would be a bit cliché for Your Majesty to reward the winner with treasures!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "It's really a little embarrassing for the concubine to say this, so let's wait for the competition to end, let's select three winners, the first place will be rewarded by me, the second place will be rewarded by the queen, and the third place will be rewarded by the concubine, and the rewards of the three cannot be the same, what do you think?" ”

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong glanced at each other, and both nodded: "It's feasible!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said to the ten beauties: "You have all heard what I said to the queen and the concubine just now, take out all your skills, don't worry, keep your mentality, I will take out the reward here first, my reward is to give marriage!" The young lady who gets the first name can get my marriage, your husband will be your own choice, no matter who you fall in love with, no matter who your sweetheart is, you can choose him, I support it, and your parents and relatives can't oppose it! ”

As soon as these words came out, many of the top ten beauties were happy, and a few were secretly happy in their hearts, on the other hand, their parents, that is, those imperial relatives and ministers, all looked anxious, but they couldn't openly oppose Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng said: "I'm going to come up with the question, since the ladies are all out of the cabinet, let's have a topic of girl's lovesickness, listen well: drizzle Xiaoying Spring Festival Gala, people are like jade, willows are like eyebrows, and they are lovesick." The curtain of the green curtain is first rolled, and there is a flower in the mirror. The news of the broken intestine and the door is scarce. ”

"Okay, all the ladies are seated, the competition is about to start, I hope the ladies will work hard to adjust their mentality!"

After a while, with the eunuch chief Kang Yide ordered: "The game is half an hour, start!" ”

These daughters want to use the title of Zhao Junsheng just now to show the scene in the form of embroidery, which is even more difficult than painting.

The ladies began to thread the needle.

The scene couldn't be cold, so the next singing team came to the stage, and the ladies embroidered under the stage.

Zhao Junsheng whispered to Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong at this time: "If you have something to do, you will be back in a while!" ”

"Okay, then hurry up, it's the New Year!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng got up and walked outside the garden, and after a while, he came to the imperial study, so that all the eunuchs, palace maids and guards who came with him stayed outside, and he walked into the imperial study by himself.

After the door was closed, the shadow appeared, and presented the roster with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the roster of relevant officials involved in the news of He Fang and Fang Cheng selling on the black market, as for the ······ that Wang Tanzhi revealed to King Jing"

Zhao Junsheng took the roster and opened it, and after reading it, his face was as usual, and he asked, "Do all these people on the roster have problems?" ”

"The minister has checked, and only four problems are more serious, and he should be dismissed from his official position and sent to prison for questioning the crime according to the law, and sentenced to death. None of the others was a big problem, and if it was according to the law, it would be dismissal at best. In fact, most of the privacy of the officials sold by He Fang and Fang Cheng is their daily activities and preferences, and after these messages are bought, the people who buy the news can contact these officials through these and build relationships."

Zhao Junsheng said: "Then these four people who can be sentenced to death according to the law, and those who can be dismissed according to the law, after the news is sold, I am afraid that they will be controlled by others, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The real function of the waiting lawsuit is highly top secret, very few people know about it, and even the emperor's relatives and ministers don't know, since Wang Tanzhi learned that He Fang and Fang Cheng sold the news to the black market, why didn't he take measures to cut off the channels for the news to leak out, and you must know how much trouble it will bring to me once the real function of the waiting lawsuit is known by the ministers of the imperial court?" They will inevitably force me to withdraw the lawsuit! ”

The shadow said: "This minister is not clear, only Wang Tanzhi knows this matter in his own heart, and the minister guesses that the person behind the underground black market is an existence that he can't even provoke?" ”

Zhao Junsheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few times, and stopped, he said in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what, the people who shouldn't know the real function of the lawsuit know it, in order to avoid things from progressing to a situation that cannot be controlled and cleaned up, none of these people can live!" King Jing will let it go first, Wang Tanzhi will also let him live for a few more days, and everyone else will all have to die, you can do it! You take this gold medal, and the right Xiao guards are at your disposal, cut off the channel of news leakage in the fastest time, and find out all the people who know the news! ”

"Obey the order!" The Shadow saluted with the gold medal and retreated into the darkness and vanished.

Late that night, all the exits of the ground market and the underground black market in Xingyuanfang were blocked by the right guards, and a large number of soldiers rushed into the underground market, and Konstantin and all his men were all arrested, and none of them ran away.

Subsequently, all the people who bought the information from Konstantin were confessed, and all of them were arrested overnight.

To ensure the purpose of preferring to kill the wrong and not letting go, these people were all secretly executed.
