"This~~~, Master Horse, His Royal Highness the Prince, there are more than a dozen wives and children in the criminal minister's family, how can there be so many colleagues and silver in exchange for ......"

When interrogating a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, there can still be this kind of operation, as soon as Liu Huayun's words came out, not only did He Jin secretly scold him for being shameless in his heart, but Zhang Zuoxiang even had the heart to die;

After the belation, his body trembled, and he kowtowed and begged with tears on his face.

Smack~~~, Liu Huayun ignored Zhang Zuoxiang, slapped the table fiercely, and said with a solemn murderous look on his face: "Don't pretend here, you can think about it, this is their last chance;

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are not in the mood to spend it with you, we can't get what we want, and everyone in your family will be directly pushed to the vegetable market at noon tomorrow to behead. ”

"I said, I said, those involved in this matter are Qizhou Taishou Suyu, Wenshui County Lingche Zhengrui, Luliang County Lingmu San, and ......, they should have hundreds of thousands of taels of stolen silver in their homes.......

His Royal Highness the Prince, all the guilty ministers have confessed, and I hope you can do what you say and let my wife and children live. ”

As the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, looking at the momentum of the young man in front of him, the prince obeyed his words again, and it is very possible to execute his family on the spot;

There was no way, Zhang Zuoxiang, who saw sweat on his forehead, had to tell everything he knew in 1510.

It turned out that in the boundary of Shanxi, there were no less than 20 officials and officials loyal to King Fu who were dragged down by him, accounting for half of the court officials in the entire Shanxi.

A small part of the silver taels they looted over the years were smuggled to the southwest, and were secretly recruited by the cronies installed by King Fu to be used as the foundation for a comeback;

And Zhang Zuoxiang and others, who were greedy, built a secret grid in the mansion and secretly hid most of the silver taels, like Song Ting.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Master Horse, the confession has been memorized, please take a look."

Interrogating prisoners? Although Tang Fu Yin was not allowed to participate in order to avoid suspicion, the process of signing and drawing the charge was still essential, and the middle-aged master who was called from Fu Yin Yamen looked at them with a smile.

"No need, take it and let him draw it."

He Jin waved his hand, and the middle-aged master promised to bring the confession to Zhang Zuoxiang.

"Lord Cao, I order you to immediately arrange for your soldiers to go to various places to arrest important criminals, confiscate their family property, and escort back the gold, silver and stolen goods as soon as possible......"

It is urgent to arrest the stolen officials, and Liu Huayun and she can't do it themselves in all places, so after He Jin interrogated Zhang Zuoxiang, he called Cao Yunzhi over and ordered.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured!"

With a confession as a guide, it will be easy to do, Cao Yunzhi agreed, left the Admiral's Mansion, rode a war horse and went directly to the garrison camp.

In less than half an hour, there were more than 20 cavalry squads, led by their own hundred households, towards Qizhou, Yangquan, and Wenshui counties...... Wait for the state and county to gallop away.

"I'll go, so much gold and silver."

Under the guidance of Zhang Zuoxiang, Lu Feng and the others, who were searching for the secret compartment of the organ, quickly opened the secret room in front of them, and looked at the gold, silver and jewelry worth no less than 300,000 taels inside, Liu Huayun couldn't help but smack his tongue for a while.

The people along the way complained about the high taxes, but the tax collected by the imperial court was very small, and it seemed that they were all filled by these guys.

On the day that Liu Huayun and He Jin came to Taiyuan Mansion, after the Admiral's Mansion was raided, Zhang Zuoxiang and Mr. Nanmen were put on death row.

As a result, Liu Huayun, He Jin, Lu Feng and others who were sitting in Shanxi lived in the Governor's Mansion, and then they only waited for the soldiers sent by Cao Yunzhi to come back, escort corrupt officials and stolen silver.

Of course, at the same time, a letter from officials transferred from various places to fill the vacancies in Shanxi Prefecture and County was also sent back to the capital by Zheng Xun on a fast horse and handed over to the old man He Yu;

In addition, the silver money found by Zhang Zuoxiang's family was enough to manage the grain and grass for several months of the conquest of King Fu's army;

Liu Huayun had ordered Guo Jing and the musket battalion to assist Cao Yunzhi, Tang Fu Yin and others in purchasing, and after a few days, the Shanxi garrison directly escorted the military rations to Shu to assist the Yang family army in exterminating the remnants of King Fu.

"Jin'er, you eat more."

At night, Liu Huayun, who washed away the dust and changed into new clothes, was drinking with He Jin in the house of the Admiral's Mansion; There were no outsiders here, so he was very flirtatious and evoked her nickname.

"Huayun, be careful that the wall has ears."

Thinking of the situation when he was bathing in the afternoon, he kept an eye on himself outside, He Jin glanced at him and whispered.

"It's alright, my Queen, do you need to sleep for your servants tonight?"

Inside and outside the Governor's Palace, there were the sons and daughters of the musket battalion and the masters of Ouchi, and without the orders of the prince and his own lords, they would not dare to approach this small building under any circumstances;

Therefore, with a coquettish smile that didn't care, Liu Huayun looked at He Jin with bad intentions.

"You're going to die, don't even think about it without the consent of your father and queen mother."

Although He Jin really wants to taste the wonderful taste of the forbidden fruit, as the crown prince of a country, she must not be bound by the personal feelings of her children before she gets rid of internal worries and has enough strength to balance foreign enemies, let alone pregnant and eloquent.

"In this way, the minister can only work hard, hoping that when he proposes marriage in the future, he can be favored by the old man......"

Hehe smiled, Liu Huayun also knew what she was worried about, and flirted with her without any restraint, and then stopped mentioning it.

From leaving Beijing to being caught by mistake, and then to avoiding the enemy over the mountains and mountains, the experience is not thrilling, and it is rare to have a free time tonight, and the two of them have eaten and drunk well, and then fall asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and the time soon came the next morning, Liu Huayun and the others, who came out of the Admiral's Mansion, under the protection of the guards, began to look for graphite, the material he needed to electrolyze oil.

Due to the convenient transportation of Taiyuan City adjacent to coal mines, almost all large households are using coal, and there are not a few shops and merchants engaged in coal business.

"Two sons, please, I don't know how much coal you need, if the amount is large, I'll let you send it to your home for free......"

Shu Dewang, the largest coal merchant in the city, saw two sons and brothers with several strong men walking towards him, and immediately let them into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Boss Shu, you don't need coal, I don't know if you have the kind of black ...... here that looks similar to coal, but feels oily."

While describing the shape and color of graphite to Shu Dewang, Liu Huayun and the others walked towards the large courtyard where the coal was stacked.

I went to two or three houses before, but I didn't find graphite, and he was indeed a little disappointed in his heart; If you really can't do it, you have to go to the mine outside the city to run in person, otherwise you have to go to Laixi, Shandong.

"Liu Gongzi, the graphite you mentioned, the old man really hasn't heard of it, is there really it in the coal mine?"

"Huh~~, this should be graphite, it's just too small......"

Just when Shu Dewang and He Jin didn't understand what Liu Huayun was talking about;

Suddenly, he stooped down and picked up a small irregular gray stone the size of a pigeon's egg from the hill-like coal pile, and said with a happy expression.

"Oh~~, it turns out that Childe needs this kind of thrush stone, but this thing is not a top grade, but a waste material in the thrush stone......"

Shu Dewang took the stone that was a little greasy to the touch, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Liu Huayun with a light smile.
