Chapter 398: Hoarding Weapons
Today, they jointly staged a play, just to make everyone believe that Xiao Hanyin was indeed taking people to the imperial city to recuperate in accordance with the emperor's order.
The previous miracle doctors were just a front for them.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao deliberately made such a play, just so that no one would notice his plan.
He deliberately did something suspicious before spreading the news of the Imperial City, so that even if King Cheng didn't believe it, he couldn't investigate, because Xiao Hanyin arranged for a subordinate to pretend to be him, and he was already on his way back to the Imperial City.
In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Hanyin's body collapsed, and his body was poisonous, so he could only lie in the carriage, for the sake of his body, he drank soothing soup every day, and hardly took half a step out of the carriage.
The people who became the king did check in private, and found that Xiao Hanyin's several personal guards were all guarding the carriage, and the people inside looked very similar to Xiao Hanyin in terms of body shape and silhouette.
As a result, King Cheng instantly felt a lot more relieved, as long as he was sent away, the next thing would be much easier.
Although Mo Xuanyu is also very capable, he is easier to fool than Xiao Hanyin.
The reason why King Cheng tried to keep him and didn't let him go back with him was because he planned to use him to cover up everything in Jiangnan.
However, what he didn't expect was that Liu Qingshao was also left behind by Xiao Hanyin.
This is also the reason why Xiao Hanyin suspected that he did not leave Jiangnan.
Who doesn't know that their husband and wife have a deep relationship and almost never separate.
Now, Xiao Hanyin ruthlessly left her alone, and King Cheng felt quite surprised.
However, he didn't plan to leave at first, but was going to go to the divine doctor to detoxify, and Mo Xuanyu and Liu Qingshao were planning to leave.
Everything has changed a lot now because of his strategy.
So King Cheng didn't guess Xiao Hanyin's plan......
Although Liu Qingshao stayed, for her safety, Xiao Hanyin sent a lot of secret guards to protect her.
This time, what he was going to was very dangerous, but even so, he still put most of the people by Liu Qingshao's side.
Since Xiao Hanyin left, Liu Qingshao has stayed in the courtyard.
Han Feng and Senior Brother Han Ling have always been by her side, with them, Liu Qingshao doesn't have to worry at all, King Cheng will secretly use poison to harm her.
Liu Qingshao has nothing to do, so she will often help Han Feng and them make medicine together.
Although Liu Qingshao has studied medicine from Weiwei, she can still do it with simple concoction of medicinal materials.
"Mrs. Xiao has a good talent!" Han Ling saw that she had worked tirelessly and had been following them all the time, and his impression of her became better and better.
After all, she has so much business in her hands, but she is still willing to do these trivial things, and the details show her character.
When Liu Qingshao followed them to learn concocted medicinal materials, she never shouted bitterness or tiredness......
She is more respected than those delicate women.
Han Feng has always hated those women who pretend to be reserved and frighten their faces pale at the slightest triviality.
However, Liu Qingshao is brave and decisive, although she doesn't know martial arts or medicine, she is very smart and can learn many things as soon as she learns them.
Han Ling would also often point her out and tell her some simple recipes.
During this period, King Cheng wanted to come to Liu Qingshao several times, but he couldn't see her people.
Xiao Hanyin just left, King Cheng felt unsteady and wanted to test Liu Qingshao's tone.
After all, with Xiao Hanyin's temperament, he should send someone to pick Liu Qingshao back soon.
However, he has been away from Jiangnan for several days now, but there has been no movement, and King Cheng can't sit still......
On the other hand, Mo Xuanyu has been investigating on his own since Xiao Hanyin was poisoned.
These days, he has found some clues intermittently, but he is not sure whether the news he found is true or not.
Mo Xuanyu found that the people in Jiangnan seemed to be living a peaceful life, but in fact, they had been suffering from persecution.
The local officials in Jiangnan are superficially flawless and have very mediocre political achievements, but they have actually been doing very badly.
The local officials secretly looted the people's fat and ointment, and it was very hidden, and when many ministers came to inspect, they did not find anything.
He and Xiao Hanyin were almost deceived by them at first.
It's been almost a month, and nothing has been found, if it weren't for Xiao Hanyin's poisoning, I'm afraid these clues would have been buried by them forever.
However, Skynet is restored and not leaked, but if they have done something sorry for the people, they will definitely be able to find out.
In order to find out about the corruption of Governor Li's mansion as soon as possible, Mo Xuanyu went out every day and night, and waited around the house every night.
He didn't believe that the other party could really hide the fox's tail all the time.
On this day, Mo Xuanyu overheard that someone had seen Governor Li's mansion and entered the house with someone sneaking around.
Not only that, Governor Li even used silver well, and purchased a large number of weapons from other places.
He didn't need so many weapons as a prefect, obviously he had other plans.
So, Mo Xuanyu decided to go to Governor Li again and test it in person to see if he could find some clues.
After all, he heard about those things from other people's mouths, and there was no evidence in his hands.
What the emperor needs is evidence, not the whimsical words of some inconsequential people. 27KK
When Mo Xuanyu went to find Governor Li's mansion this time, he found that there were two more unfamiliar guards by his side......
"Governor Li, in recent years, the wind and rain in Jiangnan have been smooth, why is the tax and tribute received by the imperial court consistent?"
The emperor is a wise king, and if there is no war, he will never increase taxes, and if there is a disaster in other places, the emperor will immediately raise food and silver for disaster relief.
Jiangnan has been very smooth in recent years, so the tax has not changed.
However, according to Mo Xuanyu's investigation, Jiangnan collects less taxes on the surface, but in fact, it is secretly more than other places.
The local officials used their own means to take an extra 10% of the grain from the hands of the people, but it was not counted in the taxes.
The people didn't know how much the imperial court paid taxes, so they could only pay taxes honestly.
"Master Mo doesn't know, Jiangnan seems to be smooth, but there are some small places where accidents happen every year, and every year we will take out a part of the food to help the suffering!" Governor Li said calmly.
"Really?" How did he think things weren't that simple?
"If Master Mo doesn't believe it, he can go to investigate in person, and the lower officials don't dare to expire!" Governor Li directly said all the circumstances, including the overharvested grain.
However, all the officials in Jiangnan did this, even if Mo Xuanyu reported to the imperial court, he was not afraid.
He inquired carefully, but he never pry open the other party's mouth, and Mo Xuanyu was quite annoyed.
Obviously, he has found some evidence, but there has never been a way to cure Governor Li's crimes, and he is very unhappy.
Although the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good, he misses the imperial city.
However, this matter is extremely complicated and deeply involved, and Mo Xuanyu does not feel that a mere prefect needs to do so many things......
After all, even if Governor Li had hoarded a large number of weapons, he did not have the ability to rebel.
He doesn't have a tough family behind him.
Therefore, Mo Xuanyu always felt that this matter was strange, but he just couldn't find out.
So, after careful consideration, he decided to report these things to King Cheng.
This time, they came here to settle the grievances between King Cheng and the local officials.
As for what Governor Li did in private, it was just an inquirement.
Now that things are getting more and more troublesome, Xiao Hanyin is not here, Mo Xuanyu can only discuss with his henchmen, but unfortunately they are helpless about it.
Governor Li was even more difficult to deal with than they thought.
"Lord Wang, Governor Li's side suddenly changed guards, and the lower officials heard that he had sent someone to secretly hoard a large number of weapons!" Mo Xuanyu deliberately concealed some things.
He didn't say a single clue he found in private.
When Xiao Hanyin was about to leave before, he hinted at him vaguely, asking him not to believe too much in King Cheng.
Nowadays, the saints are very jealous of him, Cheng Wang must not be a good stubble, and Xiao Hanyin is friends with him, Mo Xuanyu believes that he will not harm himself.
So he deliberately kept an eye on it.
"Governor Li has always been good at hiding and disguising, and many ministers who came to Jiangnan have been deceived by him, and this king can't do anything about him!" King Cheng sighed.
Liu Qingshao listened quietly on the side.
Although Xiao Hanyin went back, Liu Qingshao was also involved in this matter, so when Mo Xuanyu reported to King Cheng, he did not avoid her.
Liu Qingshao didn't know anything about these things, so she didn't speak.
"Although the lower officials found out that Li Zhifu is not as upright as the surface, but there is no evidence in his hands, I don't know if the prince has a way to let the lower officials catch his handle?" Mo Xuanyu directly threw out the problem.
"If this king can find out the evidence of his crimes, he will not be forced to leave the imperial city by him!" King Cheng said with a cold face.
"The prince has been in Jiangnan for so many years, can't he subdue a small prefect?" Liu Qingshao felt that the helplessness in his eyes looked a little fake.
When he dealt with Xiao Hanyin, his methods were ruthless and vicious, if Governor Li really dared to oppose him, I am afraid that he would have been assassinated by him a long time ago.
The reason why King Cheng didn't do this was either because Governor Li's mansion was deeper than his city, or because he was using this matter to show his ambitions......
"You have also personally checked Governor Li's mansion, you should know how difficult he is, although this king is a prince, there is no way to punish him without evidence!" King Cheng found that Liu Qingshao seemed to refuse to believe in himself all along.
"I also have business in Jiangnan, and I have some contacts with local people, I am willing to find someone to investigate the actions of Governor Li in the past few years, and maybe I can find out something!" Liu Qingshao said meaningfully.
"Great, we didn't have any connections when we first came to Jiangnan, and many people were secretive about this matter, so that there was no progress for a long time, if you can find someone to probe the bottom of Governor Li's mansion, maybe you can really force him to mess up!" Mo Xuanyu was very happy when he heard Liu Qingshao's words.
He is really poor in donkey skills, but he has not been able to catch the evidence that Governor Li violated the laws of the imperial court.
Liu Qingshao is a wise and intelligent woman, maybe she can have a different effect when she shoots......
However, King Cheng's reaction was the opposite of Mo Xuanyu's.
He didn't want Liu Qingshao to interfere in this matter at all.
Liu Qingshao's business is very large, and there are branches of theirs almost everywhere.
Jiangnan has always been prosperous, so Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin have already sent their subordinates to open branches.
Xiao Hanyin also took advantage of the opportunity to open a shop and secretly established some contacts here.
Originally, Liu Qingshao didn't want to ask about it, but King Cheng's attitude made her extremely disgusted.
He looked very innocent, which made Liu Qingshao want to take off his mask without hesitation.
