Chapter 72: Shangyuan Palace intervenes
Qingde Fang collapsed, Wang Mang didn't care, but if the gambling stone shop that sheltered in Qingde Fang collapsed, then Wang Mang cared.
There is a big black bug that can smell the spirit stone, Wang Mang has set the gambling stone workshop into his own ATM, especially now that he has money, no matter how expensive the stone is, as long as the spirit stone is good enough, then one word, buy!
But now that the news of the collapse of Qingdefang is extremely concerned, Wang Mang is extremely concerned.
Zhang Jian also heard the news, it seems that the emperor made a lot of money in the gambling stone workshop a few days ago, so he didn't feel strange when he heard the anxious taste in Wang Mang's words, although he felt a little sorry in his heart, but he still said honestly: "From now on, the gambling stone workshop has also collapsed." ”
"Where's the stone in the stone workshop?" Wang Mang asked again.
"This ......," Zhang Jian turned his head to look at Wang Qinian, the commander of the Terracotta Division.
Wang Qinian immediately walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have cleaned up overnight, and they have not found any spiritual stones and jade materials at the scene, and in addition, the body of the person in charge or the person in charge of the Qingde Fang and the Gambling Stone Workshop was not found at the scene, and the bodies cleaned up were only some service personnel in the two squares. ”
"So, what's wrong with this Qingde Fang and Gambling Stone Fang?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed, judging from Wang Qinian's words, the high-level leaders of Qingde Fang and Gambling Stone Fang probably had already left the scene long before the gambling house collapsed.
"Yes. Lin Guodong also stood up and said: "The officials in the minister's yamen visited the capital and found that Qingdefang stopped business last night on the grounds of internal renovation, so there were no gamblers on the scene. ”
"It seems that they were prepared. Wang Mang had already understood at this time that Fang Qiu, Fang Xizhi, Qingdefang, and the white-robed mysterious person were all characters and things on a certain line of a mysterious force.
Now Fang Xizhi, the person at the top of this line, was arrested by himself, in order to prevent Fang Xizhi from talking nonsense, he not only killed Fang Xizhi, but also destroyed Qingdefang overnight.
Now it seems that this Qingdefang is not a simple force, and it is rumored that Qingdefang and Gambling Stone Fang are two families, and I am afraid it is also misinformation.
And this strength has sacrificed so much, I'm afraid the plan is not small.
Wang Mang had a faint sense of urgency in his heart, feeling that he had rashly moved Fang Xizhi, for fear that he would disrupt the arrangement of some forces.
And this force will never give up, and I am afraid that I will inevitably have to deal with this force in the future.
"Wechen asked for a thorough investigation of all the officials and merchants of the DPRK and China related to Qingdefang. Li Si suddenly kowtowed and said, "The minister is confident that he will be able to catch this force by touching the melon along the vine." ”
Li Si's kowtow, the other ministers have reflected, originally they planned to take the blame for the white-robed people who Lin Guodong visited, but now they found that there was a better, more conspicuous, and more motivated object in the capital to take the blame, and they immediately shouted to investigate Qingdefang thoroughly.
In fact, these adults are talking about it, they have no intention of acting at all, and they are indeed frightened by last night's movements.
A high-ranking official in the court, the left servant of the household department, a powerful figure in the capital, was killed when he said he was killed, and then the murderer was Shi Shiran and killed more than a dozen people in a row in the capital, these people may not be eye-catching, but which one is not a simple character among the people in the capital, and in the end, even the largest gambling house in the capital, Qingdefang, is said to be destroyed.
Such a force, the adults who have long been pampered don't want to challenge, they just want to find someone to take the blame, Qingdefang stretched out his body, and he naturally took the blame.
Then Qingdefang is gone, and the person in charge of Qingdefang has run out, and there is no proof of this matter, and in the end, it can only be turned into a small thing and a small thing according to the previous method.
Time can erase everything, and in a few years, who will remember it.
Of course, Wang Mang also understood the thoughts of these adults, and in fact, for Wang Mang, this is also a good way to solve the problem.
But if you do what the ministers want, where is the face of the emperor?
At this moment, Li Lan's expression suddenly moved, and then he quietly retreated, looking at Deng Fangdao, who was frowning at him outside the study, "What's the matter?"
"Gonggong Li, the golden jade girl of Shangyuan Palace said that she was ordered by the Queen Mother to send an edict to Your Majesty. Deng Fang said cautiously: "The slave didn't dare to be self-contained, so he had to come to report." ”
Deng Fang has now been transferred to Wang Mang's study by Li Lan, and he will continue to go to court when he goes to court, and listen to it in the study at other times, which can be regarded as preparing for Deng Fang to take over his class below.
Li Lan also knew that he would become a deacon and eunuch in the future, and he would inevitably have a place to beg Deng Fang, after all, Deng Fang would be Wang Mang's life secretary in the future, and the secretary of the leader, even if he was prepared, had to give people the respect he deserved.
So Li Lan hurriedly said: "Gonggong Deng doesn't have to be so polite, if there is anything to be done directly." ”
As he spoke, he took Deng Fang into the study, Wang Mang naturally noticed Li Lan and Deng Fang's small movements, even if he understood that something was probably happening, he heard Deng Fang's report, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't understand what Shangyuan Palace was doing at this time, but after a moment of silence, he still summoned Jin Yu to the side room.
Jin Yu is just a palace maid, and at this moment, the ministers of the court and the central government are discussing matters in the study, so naturally she cannot be summoned in the study, so Wang Mang asked the ministers for leave and went to the side room.
Jin Yu is still the same, although he does not apply powder, but his beauty is as good as before, he walked in front of Wang Mang, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has an edict for the slave maid to call out to Your Majesty in person." ”
After speaking, Jin Yu took out a scroll of pages from his sleeve cage and handed it to Li Lan who was standing beside him, Li Lan hurriedly took it and handed it to Wang Mang.
Wang Mang glanced at Jin Yu, then opened the page, and the words on the page fell into Wang Mang's eyes word for word, Wang Mang's eyes condensed, his expression changed, the pages were closed, and he looked at Jin Yu and said, "Does the Queen Mother have anything else to say to you?"
"The Queen Mother said that I hope Your Majesty will end this matter. Jin Yu bowed and said: "The slave and maid have brought the edict and the words, and the slave and maid have retired." ”
"Hmm. Wang Mang nodded, waved his hand to signal Jin Yu to leave, and then unfolded the pages of the book, and on the pages of the book read, "Fang Xizhi and Qingdefang are quite powerful behind them, please be cautious!"
It seems that Shangguan Wan'er knows what forces are behind Fang Xizhi and Qingdefang's matter, and even Shangguan Wan'er knows who did this matter at all, otherwise either Shangguan Wan'er has something to do with this force, or this force makes the forces behind Shangguan Wan'er very jealous.
And no matter what is behind this matter, it is very interesting for Shangyuan Palace to intervene in this matter!
Wang Mang looked at the words on the page, as if he saw the colorless Queen Mother Shangguan Wan'er in the Six Palaces, and couldn't help but smile.
In the study, all the ministers waited for Wang Mang to come out, and they all guessed what happened, they didn't believe that the emperor really went to change clothes, there must be something, and after seeing what Li Lan and Deng Fang, the two eunuchs, said, the emperor went to change clothes.
