readx; "What? Qiao Yuliang is dead? How did he die? Zhu Youzhen was taken aback and said!

"I fell ill and died last night. "www.biquge.info The last general also felt strange, he was just about to arrest him today, and he died last night, how could it be such a coincidence?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "This can't be a coincidence. The Battle of Dushikou took place seven days ago, and the accomplices of the smugglers hiding in Xuanfu had plenty of time to get the news back. I guess Qiao Yuliang didn't die of a sudden illness, I'm afraid that someone was afraid that he would bite after he was arrested, so he would strike first and kill him! Where is Qiao Yuliang's body? ”

Shi Chunhu hurriedly said: "The Jinyi guard has surrounded Qiao's mansion, Qiao Yuliang's body has been buried, and the last general has sent four people to guard it to prevent someone from destroying the corpse." ”

"Well done." Zhu Youzhen groaned and said, "Qiao Yuliang's crime of fornicating with Mongolia is conclusive, so you can raid his house first." As for the Luliang Merchant Gang, he is just the leader of the gang, and there are many businessmen in the gang, so don't touch anyone until there is enough evidence. If you come loose on the outside and tighten on the inside, wait and see what happens, and those who have ghosts in their hearts will naturally show their feet. However, I feel that I am afraid that only from the internal investigation of the Lu Liang Shang Gang will not have much gain, since the person who exterminates the mouth can kill Qiao Yuliang, it will be easier to kill other people. The Mongols, Xuanfu, and Luliang Merchant Gang, there must be a three-pronged approach, no matter who is involved, this case must be investigated to the end! ”

Qiao Yuliang immediately arranged for people to raid Qiao Yuliang's home, and Zhu Youzhen continued to interrogate Selemo. According to Selemo, Mongolia is located outside the Cypriot Islands, the climate is bitter cold, except for cattle wool and war horses, there is basically no production. The food, salt, and tea necessary for their survival could only be obtained through smuggling with the Han Chinese, except for looting.

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and the price of these goods is already expensive, and the price of selling them to the Mongols has increased exponentially. For example, the rice sold to Selemo by the Luliang Merchant Gang this time was sold at a price of 221 stones, which was more than twice as expensive as Jingshi, the most expensive rice. When there was a catastrophe, the price of rice even rose to an outrageous price of 80 taels and 1 stones. Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, no wonder Qiao Yuliang was worried that the grain could not be sold, it turned out that he had this profiteering sales channel.

Within the Chahar tribe, each tribe had a special person in charge of trading, and Selemo was the trader of the Naiman tribe. As for the other tribes, as well as the Korqin, Khalkha and Duoyan tribes, and even the Jurchens, they were also responsible for trade with the Han Chinese, but the specifics of Selemo are not very clear.

Zhu Youzhen's heart sank when he heard this, and he secretly thought that this smuggling was just the tip of the iceberg, and the smuggling behavior in the whole country must be quite rampant! Originally, the imperial court and the common people were short of grain, and in order to make huge profits, these unscrupulous merchants also sold a large amount of grain to foreign enemies, which in turn aggravated the famine in the interior and raised the price of rice, which is really hateful! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but pick up an inkstone on the table and throw it on the ground fiercely, shattering it!

But it's useless to be angry. Soon Shi Chunhu came back to report that Qiao Yuliang's mansion had been copied. After preliminary inspection, a total of more than 300,000 taels of silver were copied, and the total number of silver tickets from all over the country was no less than 4 million taels, but most of the account books that Jin Yiwei wanted most were missing, and the rest were just ordinary accounts.

Zhu Youzhen calmed down his emotions a little and said: "It seems that this person hiding behind the scenes is very careful and his methods are also very vicious. But if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, you Jinyiwei will be responsible for this case, and the criminal department will not let them interfere, so as not to leak the news and let the real predator find out. ”

After returning to the Forbidden City, it was Zhu Cunqi's turn to sleep that night, and Zhu Youzhen went straight to her Chengqian Palace.

When he was in the Qin Palace, Zhu Youzhen had already set the rules: all concubines were treated equally, and they took turns to sleep every night, and the same was true after they ascended the throne. Even if Qi Meifeng is pregnant, when it is her turn, Zhu Youzhen will accompany her to rest, although she can't do anything, but the husband and wife hug each other and sleep, and they also sleep soundly and happily.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen hates "waiting", this word obviously represents the superiority of men and the inferiority of women, and no matter who he is to, he has an equal mentality, because these women are all close relatives who have suffered a lot with him, life and death!

In addition to Empress Rui'er, who lives in Kunning Palace, the other three concubines all live in the "East Sixth Palace". The "East Six Palaces" are located in the east of Kunning Palace, separated by only one wall, which are Jingren Palace, Zhongcui Palace, Chengqian Palace, Jingyang Palace, Yonghe Palace and Yanxi Palace. These six palaces are exactly the same in size and shape, they are all the palaces of the imperial concubines, and Zhu Youzhen arranged for them to live here.

Because he himself was busy with state affairs, he rarely had time to spend with his concubines during the day. They live closer to each other and take care of each other. After all, this is the Forbidden City, although Zhu Youzhen has arranged jobs for his women, but he already knows from those Qing palace dramas that the days in the harem are really lonely and boring, and he is not there, and several concubines are chatting together, maybe they can be a little more discharged. There is no way to do this, in order to save the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the world, and for himself and his beloved women, Zhu Youzhen had to make some sacrifices.

Because of this, Zhu Youzhen cherishes every opportunity to get along with the concubines. After a brief dinner that night, he made an exception and did not approve the recital that had been drafted by the cabinet, but blew out the lights early and went to Wushan with Zhu Cunqi.

After the rain dispersed, Zhu Cunqi was satisfied. In the past, she always felt that she didn't know martial arts and couldn't compare with Queen Rui'er; I don't know medical skills, so I can't compare with Concubine Bao Yulian; He can't lead the troops to fight, and he can't compare with Concubine Qi Meifeng. What especially worries her heart is that she always feels that Zhu Youzhen loves her especially because of Li Zhenyan, so she always has a feeling of being ashamed.

But now through the operation of Wuzhou Trading Company, Zhu Cunqi has really helped her husband, and she is at peace in her heart. At this time, while gently helping Zhu Youzhen wipe away the sweat caused by "strenuous exercise", she smiled softly: "Long live is already very tired, the concubine will help you fan for a while, you can sleep first." ”

"Alas, it would be nice to have an electric fan, set for an hour, then you can sleep soundly!" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but miss his life before he crossed over. Although it feels good to be an emperor, if he can choose, he still wants to live in his previous life, even if it is to be an ordinary **silk!

However, this world has his beloved relatives, as well as enemies he must kill quickly, and thousands of kind and simple people, to a certain extent, his every move will affect their fate... With so many worries and bonds, if I could really travel back now, would I go? Zhu Youzhen asked himself this question in his heart, and then smiled to himself.

"Hooray, what?" Zhu Cunqi said sweetly.

"It's nothing, don't fan it when you save chess, it's weird and tired." Zhu Youzhen caressed Zhu Cunqi's smooth jade back lovingly, "Anyway, it's too hot to sleep, I'll tell you about the smuggling of the Luliang Shang Gang..."
