Tao Yuan hasn't slowed down yet.

Jiang Ying's tone was particularly firm and confident, and he couldn't let him question whether there was any speculation in what she said.

Maybe she just happened to know the name, and now it's just to cheat him.

Tao Yuan pursed his lips tightly, trying his best to restrain the trembling between his lips and teeth, and did not make a sound at all.

Before coming to see Tao Yuan, Lu Ran brought Chen Shangshui here.

An Jihe's low-key brother-in-law, Jiang Yu also saw it for the first time, he told Lu Ran that it would take a few days, but this was obviously because he was humble, and he was used to leaving a little leeway for himself, and he was unwilling to talk too much.

In fact, it only took Chen Shangshui a day and a half to get to know the leader of the 'Hanzhu' trade in the underground black market.

He said that he had already been contacted, and he had talked about it in depth, and he paid a valuable deposit to gain trust, and he was also a little famous in the road, so things went relatively well, and it was definitely not possible to get more lists, and he only bought two answers for 100,000 snowflakes, but it was enough.

The gambling house opened by Chen Shangshui in Shengjing looks orthodox on the surface, but his interactions with his peers in private are still hidden in the shadows and unknown.

Chen Shangshui has An Jihe to rely on, has confidence, and can maintain his bottom line and principles, but most of the people who come and go in the black market are outlaws, doing the business of killing people and licking blood, these people have no humanity, and there is no bottom line, the court can't kill endlessly, just like rats and cockroaches in the stinky ditch, with strong vitality, they can grow and develop in any corner and environment.

There are not a few such people in the past dynasties, and no matter how the dynasty changes in the bright place, it has almost no impact on them.

It was another world underground, and Chen Shangshui, who was more experienced and psychologically prepared, couldn't help but have a bad face after coming into contact with the 'Hanzhu' organization.

They sell corpses ranging from eighty-year-old men to babies who have just been born, and as long as the money is in place, they can get whatever they want.

There are so many poor and pathetic people in the world that some people don't even know what they have done wrong, just because of the disgusting needs of some people, a handful of silver, to suffer such an unjustified disaster.

If you don't know, you'll never know, and even if you do, there's more terrible unknowns.

Chen Shangshui is a caring person, although Lu Ran, Qi Dao, Jiang Tingye, and even Mingyuechen, Xicheng, and Yunjian are all a group of big men who don't have to be taboo when they speak, but just looking at Jiang Yu as a girl, no matter how calm and calm her expression is between her eyebrows, no matter how convincing and reassuring she is sitting here, and no matter how much power she has, no matter what kind of strategy she has, she can't be outspoken, afraid of nightmares at night.

Chen Shangshui is not a person in the court, he only knows one thing about Jiang Yu, that is, the current prime minister is a woman, and when he spoke, he tried to avoid the cold places that Lu Ran and Jiang Tingye could talk about directly, disgusting words, only that it had been confirmed, and the first news he asked was that the people under the Guo family had indeed maintained business there for a long time.

Lu Ran took out a piece of deed paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yu: "Please take a look at the prime minister." ”

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to take it, and when he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but gasp in shock, and raised his eyes to look at Chen Shangshui: "This is... ”

Chen Shangshui shook his head: "It is a contract set by the Guo family when buying and selling, there will be specific rules when buying and selling corpses, they will first understand what the buyer will do when they take these things, and then record them in detail, it is inevitable that the corpse will attract the attention of the official family in the market and lead to serious consequences, this contract is customary, it must be obeyed, if the rules are broken, it will be the entire 'Hanzhu' trading and even the black market classified as ' In addition, the grass people also learned about the sale of stolen goods and human trafficking and other transactions by the way, and found a lot, and the prime minister looked at them one by one. ”

After saying this, Chen Shangshui glanced at Lu Ran, these things Lu Ran and Jiang Tingye were the first to pass, a small box full of all kinds of black market deed papers, most of them had already passed the agreed time limit, and they were intercepted by Chen Shangshui before they were destroyed.

Lu Ran opened the seemingly small brocade box, which was stacked with thick piles, half of which was given to Qi Dao to see, and the other half was sent to Jiang Yin.

It is unknown how Chen Shangshui got these things, but when Jiang Yu looked at them one by one, he was still deeply shocked.

These things, secretly involved, are all written by the same person's name.

Tao Yuan.

It's a name that doesn't have a past.

Because his past has been buried by death.

He seems to be a person created by the Guo family, wandering in the black zone, as the leader of the Guo family's dirty methods.

And when he walked to the light, he was a clean and inconspicuous palace guard.

If it weren't for Mrs. Guo's previous words, just looking at the deed paper in her hand like this, Tao Yuan's identity would be tantamount to a difficult mystery to solve.

But now, everything seems to be on the page.

The Guo family has bought and sold slaves, what they are used for, it is not known, the number of each sale is not much, three or five, but the number is very frequent, just these in her hands seem to have a hundred.

What did these slaves who were transported from all directions be bought by the Guo family for what? In just two or three years, can the Guo family be served by so many subordinates?

And then there is the laundering of stolen goods, roughly speaking, Guo Kun has at least one million taels of snowflake silver behind his back, you know, last year's treasury, plus Anjihe's share, will only be 30 million.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty is going uphill and the treasury is enriching year after year, what is the concept of a courtier, even if he is the founding minister, selling millions of silver through the black market in a year?

The more Jiang Zhen looked at it, the colder his heart became, in the past three years, Guo Zhenzhen and Guo Kun didn't know how many means they had used behind their backs, and how many sins were hidden in a nest of snakes and rats in Shengjing.

But there's more to it than that, it's certainly more than that.

Behind Guo Zhenzhen and even Guo Kun, who is supporting them? ! Who gave them the guts and confidence to dare to do this?!

Jiang Yu put the deed paper in his hand on the table and said in a deep voice: "What the emperor means is that since there is everything wrong, we must investigate it thoroughly, we have Prince Jing, the golden knife of the Jiang family, and the emperor's secret decree, the government and the opposition, whoever dares to resist in vain will be killed immediately!" ”

She gave the final order with a loud voice.

All those who are involved with the Guo family must be investigated thoroughly.

After saying this, Jiang Yu looked at Qi Dao, who also had a gloomy face: "Lord Jing, the officials of Shengjing interrogated and searched for arrests, so they relied on the prince." ”

Qi Dao looked at her deeply, the hand holding the deed paper slowly tightened, and solemnly responded.

They didn't have time to enter the palace to report to Qi Ying in detail, and ten urgent secret reports were sent into the palace in a row, and after receiving three replies from Qi Ying, the Prime Minister's Mansion and King Jing's Mansion were ready to go.

The day after tomorrow will be the birthday of the Queen Mother.

The various checkpoints guarded in the palace have all been replaced by people in front of the palace.

The news in the palace can't be delivered, and the news outside the palace can't come in.

Singing and dancing, within the palace walls of a group of joy, only Mei Xi Palace got a secret letter.

The letter was sent by Jinbao.

After Jiang Wan was grounded, Qi Ying summoned Jinbao, who stayed in Qionglin Palace and was loyal to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan's identity was personally said by the emperor, and Jing Yue and Jiang Wan had said that kind of thing in front of him earlier, after Jinbao heard it, he was already in tears and lost his voice in pain.

During the lockdown, Jinbao once sent a secret letter to Jingyue, she has many years of tacit understanding and a unique way of exchanging information, Jinbao completely understands who the master in the Meixi Palace is, and the secret letter can be regarded as a re-acquaintance with Jingyue.

They are still serving the only master in their hearts.

They are still close and tacit partners.

And on the secret letter sent by Jinbao, only two words were written: "It has been completed." ”

Just invite the mother, wait for the good news.

These things were dormant in just two days.

The net is slowly tightening.

The wind and rain in Shengjing are also ready to fly.

Jiang Yu is sitting here at this moment, just for a piece of testimony.

She was completely sure to face Tao Yuan, but Tao Yuan didn't know what kind of monster she was facing after these days of waiting were over.

"You were raising the azure fish in the grinding pond before, right?" Jiang Yu's voice continued to come, and almost every word he said could kill Tao Yuan.

His continued silence was expected by Jiang Yu, and it was only a matter of time before he broke his heart.

"It seems that you really care about Concubine Xian, do you know why I told you so sure that day, as long as you dare to die, Concubine Xian will not survive?" The slight collision sound of Jiang Ying crossing the tea lid was like thunder in Tao Yuan's ears, she slowly put down the tea cup and said leisurely, "The person who caught you that day and accurately pulled out your mouth poison sac was the emperor." ”

The emperor said the word.

Tao Yuan raised his face in disbelief.

He always thought that maybe he was a master on Dongshu's side.

When he was imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He had many, many guesses, but never thought about them. Or I didn't dare to think that the person who intervened that day was really the emperor.

Tao Yuan suddenly felt desperate, if he still had a little luck just now, then at this moment, Jiang Ying's short words have already made Tao Yuan understand that in front of her, even Guo Zhenzhen and Guo Kun have no room to fight back, let alone herself?

She was so contemptuous and controlled of herself that she didn't even need so many people to stare at him all the time.

She should not be afraid to bite her tongue herself.

It doesn't matter if you can't speak, or even if you're dead.

She can get everything she wants from the sidelines.

Powerlessness and despair made Tao Yuan give up the idea of dying for a while, he couldn't even threaten Jiang Yu with his life, so why did he care about listening to what she said for a while or listening to her for a while?

If he is destined to die, then at least, he hopes that all the sins can be attributed to himself, at least he can save the one in the palace, save the few young lives behind him, and die a well-deserved death.

But Tao Yuan still thought Jiang Yu was too simple.

She didn't want the death of a queen at all, let alone anyone who stood up and paid for his life, and this matter was over.

This is a revolution in the court.

This is the first time since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty that it has faced, and it will be an important moment that will go down in history.

"Looks like you don't really want to talk to me about this, so how about we talk about something else?" Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, and just when Tao Yuan thought that she was going to continue to throw out words that made his heart tremble, Jiang Yu said something else, "You know your mother. . . How did you die? ”

Through a screen, Tao Yuan could see the movements of Jiang Yu's silhouette, and Jiang Yuan could naturally see him.

When these words came out, Tao Yuan really struggled, and after a while, a very hoarse voice came from inside: "What do you mean?" ”

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Shen Linglong, who was holding a pen next to him with a shocked expression, and said softly: "Write briefly, just understand it yourself, and then sort it out later." ”

Shen Linglong nodded stiffly, with concentration written on her face.

She knew that Jiang Yu, Jiang Tingye and Ming Yuechen were all very busy during this time, and out of the twelve hours a day, five or six hours were outside, and the people who could always be seen in the past couldn't even see each other these days.

Shen Kang and Guo came to show their goodwill, and Shen Linglong also faintly felt that something might be happening.

But she never thought that Jiang Ying would actually use her to make records.

Jiang Yu seems to be serious about cultivating her as her maid.

Regarding how Guo Yuan's mother died, Mrs. Guo said it very briefly and vaguely, and she couldn't hear that she didn't know it.

But this matter was confirmed from Shen Kang's mouth.

Guo Yuan's mother did not die of illness.

Before Guo Yuan was sent to the house, his mother once came to the door.

These secrets should have been buried and no one knew, but after Shen Kang married Guo Kun's cousin, he had heard some rumors over the years.

It is said that Guo Yuan's mother came to the door for three coins of silver.

Guo Yuan had smallpox, which was fatal.

It was also at that time that the matter was revealed.

Three coins of silver was not a small amount of money for Guo Kun at that time.

During the dispute, Guo Yuan's mother snatched the money bag on the waist of the original lady and was about to run.

In the eyes of the young Guo Zhenzhen, it was her mother who was bullied by the woman who came to the door, and she was still holding the wooden stake in her hand to repair the stable, and her head was sharpened, which was originally going to be inserted into the mud.

Maybe she really didn't have any real bad intentions at that time.

She just wanted to help her mother get her money bag back.

The wooden stake pierced Guo Yuanniang's thigh with mud, and a long and deep cut cut down, but it didn't even make her stop.

Sawdust and mud residue were left in the wound, I don't know how Guo Yuanniang dealt with it, the three coins of silver can buy herbs for smallpox, but I don't know if there is any left for her to clean up her wounds.

In short, within a few months, Guo Yuan's mother died.

He died of illness.

Everybody 'thinks' so.

Guo Zhenzhen's bloody wooden stake was neatly hidden.

Then she and Guo Yuan, when she was eleven years old, met.

Jiang Yu said these words as they were, although they could not be corroborated for a long time, but at this moment, she had to say them as facts.

Remove the surname Guo.

In exchange for pottery.

He was the one who was rescued from the mud.

He always thought that he owed Guo Zhenzhen's life, she was the only person in this world who had smiled at himself and reached out to pull his hand.

Now I want to tell him that the money that his mother asked for to save him back was exchanged for her own life.

How do you want him to accept it?

How does he measure the balance between killing and being saved?

He didn't even know whether he should cry or laugh, or that being born in that era, in that background, in a place where he could not see the light, was his sin in the first place.

But Jiang Ying's words still did not stop.

She is the sword of judgment, and she wants to strip Tao Yuan's dirty deeds little by little, leaving only the little bit of conscience he has left, that little bit of light.

Stab it harder.

"The Guo family has run out of anger, Concubine Xian saved you back then, cultivated you to be what you are today, let you kill people for her, let you do evil things for her, what you owe her has already been clear, your feelings are eternal and eternal, she has never opened her eyes to look at you, she wants to go to the clouds, she wants you to be a stepping stone stained with blood, these are all willing, willing, then I have nothing to say, this is your choice." Jiang Ying raised her hand and patted Shen Linglong, who was a little distracted, these things sound ridiculous, the Guo family, which was not a big family back then, had such a thing, it can be seen that people's hearts are cold, never determined by status, her negotiations with Tao Yuan have not yet officially entered the most shocking place, I am afraid that Shen Linglong will be scared, although she has already said hello before, but at this time, Jiang Ying still patted her on the shoulder to make her feel a little more at ease.

"Then don't you care about the children in your family?"

"Let them be what you are now?"

"Or let them bury the Guo family?"

Jiang Ying's voice became colder and colder, and the silhouette in front of him, after suddenly stiffening, trembled more and more: "If you want to bear this responsibility, it naturally doesn't matter, the sins of the Guo family don't care about killing you more, and they don't care about dying a few more children raised by you, do you think the emperor will let them go?" Children raised by sinners, will the emperor rest assured? You yourself are the son of sinners, and you are the one who died for it, you know better than I am, don't you? But if you are willing to cooperate frankly, make amends, and explain what you know ... ”

Jiang Yu slowly stood up and walked to the side of the screen, she stretched out her hand and threw the deed paper brought by Chen Shangshui into the air, and landed in front of Tao Yuan one by one: "Although you will be lucky enough to survive, children, there will be tomorrow after all." ”

"If you want to die completely, you still have a glimmer of life, Tao Yuan, you choose for yourself." Jiang Ying's hand grasped the edge of the screen, and then slowly, pushed away, she stood upright, her eyes were facing each other, and she could only see the pitch black and deep like a deep pool, "You only have one chance." ”
