Han Ruzi always felt that there were leakers around him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ruosu was indeed able to understand many of the emperor's plans in advance, but it was far from exhaustive, he and the emperor were only a cooperative relationship, neither favored nor friends, and there should be no way to know the privacy and vague thoughts in the emperor's heart.

But the ministers of the court seem to live in the heart of the emperor, and they are extremely accurate, always moving peacefully between appeasing the emperor and angering the emperor.

Han Ruzi couldn't trust anyone, but he couldn't drive everyone around him away because of this, he took Zhao Ruosu away, and then silently observed and looked for evidence.

So far, nothing has been gained.

When he came to Huxian, Han Ruzi suddenly sighed that Yang Feng was his best teacher, courtier and companion, saying that he was a friend, but he understood each other and rarely made mistakes.

Yang Feng is not without selfishness, but his selfishness does not interfere with the emperor's well water.

Han Ruzi had already issued an order to avoid large-scale visits from various places on the way to the hunt, and only allowed the main local officials to enter the camp to see the driver, and with a few words of encouragement, let them return to the yamen.

Wang Pingyang officially joined the Ministry of Rites, the official is not big, and he is responsible for communicating with officials along the way, and he has done a good job, always in line with the emperor's wishes, everything is simple, and waste is minimized.

In this way, Han Ruzi can also have more rest time, but he usually goes to bed on the second watch, and he slept later today in order to wait for Jin Chunzhong.

Jin Chunzhong came to Huxian County many days in advance to investigate, and received instructions from the emperor before leaving, so there was no need for correspondence, and everything would be discussed when we met.

It wasn't until after the third watch that Jin Chunzhong finally came, full of alcohol, Zhang Youcai, who led him in, frowned, very dissatisfied, and a little surprised, Jin Chunzhong has always been respectful, and he would make a mistake and drink before seeing the driver.

Jin Chunzhong knelt down, his body swayed slightly, and it was difficult to maintain his balance, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Weichen has to drink this wine." ”

"Get up and speak." Han Ruzi nodded to Zhang Youcai, and the eunuch withdrew from the tent, shaking his head at Jin Chunzhong's back as he left.

"Did you find it?" Han Ruzi asked, with a little expectation in his heart.

Jin Chunzhong shook even more obviously after getting up, "There is no clue, Yang Feng's family may have moved out of here." ”

Han Ruzi's brows also furrowed.

Jin Chunzhong couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly, there was only a glimmer of sobriety left in his heart, and he wanted to tell the emperor about the big things he had heard these days, so he stepped forward and said eagerly: "Your Majesty has been fooled." ”

"Huh? Are you telling jokes? Han Ruzi didn't react, thinking that Jin Chunzhong's previous words were lying to himself, thinking that the so-called drunken inaction is really accurate.

Jin Chunzhong shook his head vigorously to make himself sober up a little more, "Joke? There are no jokes, Your Majesty remembers Miss Yueyue, right? She is also in Huxian County, thanks to her, Weichen's trip to Huxian County was not in vain......"

Jin Chunzhong felt that he had said it very clearly, but it was a mess to the emperor's ears, and he interrupted sternly, "Where did you come from?" How could I recognize such a woman? Jin Chunzhong, what exactly did you do in Huxian? ”

As soon as the emperor drank it, Jin Chunzhong was startled, the wine swelled, and he understood in his heart, but his mouth was even more clumsy, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry." Your Majesty doesn't recognize it, doesn't recognize the invitation to the moon? Oh, yes, it's Weichen's mistake, mistake. That's the case, Ying Yue first worked as a kaki in the workshop, and then was bought by the Liang family, then to the Zhang family, then to the Li family, and then to the Yan family...... It's not that she's done something wrong, it's that she's too good at doing things, and she's either jealous of the main room, or she's looked down on by others......"

Han Ruzi beckoned Jin Chunzhong to come over, "Take a few sips of tea, sit there and sober up, and then come over and talk." ”

The emperor's words were a holy decree, Jin Chunzhong immediately carried it out, grabbed the teapot on the table, didn't find the teacup, directly raised the teapot, poured half a pot into his mouth, and his chest was wet, he didn't care, put down the pot, and said urgently: "The matter is important, Your Majesty ......"

"Go over there and sit down, sober up first." Han Ruzi interrupted, he really didn't want to listen to nonsense anymore, he was already very polite to Jin Chunzhong, and if he was someone else, he would have been thrown out of the tent a long time ago.

The only chair in the tent was sat by the emperor, and there were still a few round stools left, so Jin Chunzhong picked one and sat down, taking a deep breath, trying to control his body, wanting to prove that he was awake.

After three breaths, Jin Chunzhong fell headlong, crawled on the carpet, and fell asleep.

Zhang Youcai, who was outside, heard the voice, checked in the account, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Jin Chunzhong's appearance.

Han Ruzi got up, "Don't worry about him, let him sleep here." ”

There is no need for Han Ruzi to stay up late, go back to his bedroom to rest, Zhang Youcai sent the emperor away, returned to the study tent, helped Jin Chunzhong up, covered a thin quilt, shook his head and left.

Concubine Deng Yun had already gone to bed, she was already a little used to patrolling the hunting life, but she must ensure sleep, no matter what the emperor did, she had to go to bed early anyway.

Han Ruzi was lying on the bed, still running the breathing method according to his habit, and when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought that he could drive away the people around him, but he couldn't drive away the habits they left behind.

The next day he got up very early, according to the original plan, he would leave Huxian before noon, without the need for local officials to send off, this is not an important town, the emperor is just passing by, and he will stay again after arriving in the East China Sea.

Han Ruzi's life is very regular, after getting up, first look at the new music sent overnight, roughly browse, there is no important music, and have breakfast with the concubine who got up later, and then summon the accompanying officials and generals, it is not long, and it can be over more than an hour before noon.

By this time, the vanguard had already set out to clear the road, and the Emperor had about half an hour of free time, and when he was ready, he could hit the road.

As soon as he got busy, Han Ruzi almost forgot about Jin Chunzhong, and only remembered it a moment before leaving, and asked Zhang Youcai: "Where is Jin Chunzhong?" ”

"I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and have been waiting to see Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai replied.

Han Ruzi thought about it, passed the order, and asked the team to wait for another quarter of an hour, and he came to see Jin Chunzhong.

The tables and chairs in the tent had been emptied, and only an empty tent remained, and Jin Chunzhong stood in it with a red face, kneeling down as soon as he saw the emperor.

Han Ruzi raised his hand to stop, "Do you want to say it now, or do you want to set off with me and talk about it on the road?" ”

The emperor didn't accuse, Jin Chunzhong's face turned even redder, but he was completely sober and knew what was most important, so he immediately said: "Weichen met a maid ring next to General Huang Pugong here, and she wants to sue the emperor." ”

"Is that the girl who invited the moon?"

Jin Chunzhong had forgotten what he had said last night, and was stunned when he heard it, "Your Majesty forgives ...... sin"

"Forgive you for your innocence, since you are General Huang's maid, why didn't you sue in the capital, but ran to Huxian County?"

Jin Chunzhong roughly talked about the experience of Ying Yue being threatened by Yan Pengshi and having to escape.

"There is some truth in her suspicions, but since Yan Pengshi is unwilling to give up Yahuan, why did he give her to Huang Pugong in the first place?"

"Ying Yue was also puzzled, at that time, Yan Peng went home with a snort and didn't explain anything."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You stay, take Ying Yue to the East China Sea Country, don't follow too closely." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Invite Yue is not an ordinary girl, born in a trick shop, it is not suitable to stay in the patrol team, Han Ruzi has sent someone to investigate the disappearance of Huang Pugong at sea, and when he arrives in the East China Sea, he may need to invite Yue as a witness.

There were still a large number of people waiting outside, all of them had already lined up, Han Ruzi turned around to leave, Jin Chunzhong hurriedly said: "There is one more thing, Your Majesty should know." ”

"Let's be brief." Han Ruzi hesitated for a moment and decided to give Jin Chunzhong a chance.

"This Song He is not simple, he specializes in buying and selling people, entering and exiting the Jiangmen Marquis' Mansion, and knows many powerful people in the court."

Strictly speaking, Dachu prohibits the sale of human beings, and only allows the signing of a slave contract, with a time limit and wages, but in the people, this is the "deed of sale", many poor people are slaves for a lifetime, and the contract will be renewed after expiration.

"Hmm." Han Ruzi knew that this kind of thing was not in line with the law, but he didn't have the energy to interfere.

"Wechen drank with him last night." Jin Chunzhong's face turned red again, "Finally led him to reveal the truth after drinking, it turned out that he was not just buying and selling women, the business was much bigger, and he claimed to be 'tens of thousands'." ”

The average human tooth handles the population of only a dozen, even if it is a lot of hundreds, Han Ruzi said: "He's not bragging, right?" ”

Wei Chen originally thought so, so he laughed at him, Song Qi also said, "Thousands" are modest, he has the cooperation of the government, the business is very large, in the grange of the princes everywhere, there are slaves he sold, he also said that the business has been particularly good in recent years, there are thousands of people for sale in Hu County. Song Yu thought that Weichen was here for a secret visit, so he bribed Weichen and sold 100,000 taels. ”

Han Ruzi's heart moved, "Where did he come from so many people?" ”

"He didn't elaborate, I was in a hurry to see the emperor, and I didn't have time to ask."

Han Ruzi paced back and forth in the tent, and Zhang Youcai lifted the curtain twice, silently urging the emperor.

Han Ruzi stopped, "Then you will stay for a few more days, ask things clearly, and then come to the East China Sea Kingdom to see me, do you need help?" ”

"No, too many people will arouse suspicion." Jin Chunzhong has a ready-made reason for staying, that is, Invite Yue, he shows that he is very infatuated with this woman, and he has already gained the trust of Song Qi.

Han Ruzi went out of the tent and got on the horse, and the team went out of the camp.

On this hunting tour, Concubine Shu was allowed to ride in a carriage, and the others were all on horseback, not many in number, but there were many types, including the southern and northern armies, the Su Guards, the noble attendants, the accompanying officials, the eunuchs, the palace maids, and a number of advisers personally selected by the emperor.

The team was orderly, and the emperor was surrounded by close ministers and guards, each guarding his position, and no one could be ahead or behind.

The King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng were close ministers and the nominal generals of the Su Guard, so they were closest to the emperor, and the King of the East China Sea asked with a smile: "Is it Jin Chunzhong?" Your Majesty won't take him on the road? ”

"Let's wait until he finds someone." Han Ruzi said coldly, showing some dissatisfaction with Jin Chunzhong.

The emperor didn't have many secrets, Jin Chunzhong was looking for Yang Feng's family, and several people around him could guess it, but the emperor didn't admit it, and they didn't mention it, which just became an excellent cover-up.

In the evening of the same day, Han Ruzi kept thinking when he was reading the recital: When the displaced people were resettled, many soldiers were recruited, where did these people go? Could it be the reason why Song Qiang's "business is good"?

Yun Mengze has few people in the wasteland, but there are "thousands" of traitors who resell the population, Han Ruzi's anger is indescribable, and because of this, he has to be even more quiet on the surface. (To be continued.) )
