Zhuang Rou helped Tang Wushu check it, and she was injured in a few more places on her body, it was really unlucky that the old injuries were not healed, and new injuries were added.

But today's injuries are not serious, and they are earned, but the lives of those two people are lost here.

Seeing that she was fine, Zhuang Rou took out her gloves and put them on, and began to skillfully inspect the contents of the corpse on the ground.

Tang Wushu was so confused at this time that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this matter, so he just sat back by the fire, frowning slightly and staring at the fire in a daze.

"Sister Tang, do you think we should go back to the inn just now, or continue to walk forward and rest in the next village and town?" Zhuang Rou asked as she turned over.

Her title to Tang Invincible is constantly changing with her mood and purpose, and she doesn't care what kind of mood people hear it.

Tang Wushu looked at Zhuang Rou speechlessly as he turned over things on the corpse, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he had to mutter: "I think it's better to go back to the inn first, the medicine of the doctor in the town is full of good use." ”

"Well, we'll be back in a minute." Zhuang Rou responded, but her hand did not stop, and when she turned it over completely, she dragged the corpse into the grove by the mouth of the sheep's intestines.

Although she is not afraid of being seen killing people, just throwing it on the road will always bring trouble to the government and ordinary people passing by, so it is better to cover it up.

She dragged the body behind a pile of rocks in the grove and covered it with dead leaves, so that as long as no one came here to sit and rummage, it would not be found.

After a long time, it naturally turned into white bones.

After seeing that it should be fine, Zhuang Rou returned to the fire with the things she had found out, sat down and began to clean up the loot.

There were pools of blood not far away, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she just ignored it.

Zhuang Rou listed the things of the two people seriously, and her voice was a little high, as if she wanted to attract people's attention, "One hundred and seventy taels of silver, six taels of broken silver, these two people really have a lot of silver on hand, they must be ill-gotten gains, and I will use them to help the poor people." ”

"Eight hot steamed buns, at first glance, they were forced to be steamed by the previous inn, damnable! These two inhuman guys, when we left, we only had cold steamed buns overnight, and they didn't do anything to force people to steam steamed steamed buns! ”

Suddenly, she turned out three things with a happy face, checked them in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said: "I really can't imagine that there are jade pendants and gold rings, and this finger-thick silver bracelet must be three or four taels." ”

"What jade pendants and jewelry do the old men bring, it's not normal at first glance, they must have been robbed." Zhuang Rou didn't make sense at all, gritted her teeth and said, she didn't care at all, as long as there was spare money at home, men would also wear jewelry and dress up.

Tang Wushu listened to her talking nonsense, and thought that the two people who were killed were from Qingliang country, maybe they were sent by the emperor, and his mood was extremely low.

In order to make up for the mistakes she made, she thought about it for a while, and planned to continue to stay in Dahao and find out the whereabouts of the prince for these two people.

Just thinking about it, Tang Wushu suddenly heard Zhuang Rou say: "Hey, this iron brand is an identity card, and a bell is written." It's funny, there is a pattern of ingots engraved on it, and the word bell is in the middle of the ingots, how much these guys love money! ”

"Show me!" When Tang Wushu heard this, he hurriedly came over and stared at the iron card in Zhuang Rou's hand with a nervous expression.

Zhuang Rou handed her the iron card, pretending not to care, and said: "I think that the matter of the prince of Qingliang Kingdom must be fake, and the identity cards of these two people are not at all like those used by the government, but like some kind of deceitful villain." ”

"Maybe it's a gang of liars, pretending to be the prince's subordinates, and making up something about the prince of Qingliang Kingdom to take back the throne, so you have to find a royal treasure cave with tens of millions of taels of gold and countless jewels and jade."

As if she had done such a thing, she held her hands and nodded, "They will say that as long as the silver taels are given to the prince, when they find the treasure, they will return it to everyone a thousand times." After regaining the throne, these people have made great contributions, all of them have been knighted, and they have become the magnates of Qingliang Kingdom, and the whole family will enjoy glory and wealth forever. ”

"As long as you pay a little bit of silver, you can get such a big benefit, even if many people suspect that there may be a problem, but in the face of such huge benefits, there will always be many people who are deceived."

Zhuang Rou said disdainfully: "I have met a lot of this kind of liar, I don't even let go of a tael of silver, not only the crown prince has seized the throne, but also various princesses and grandchildren who have fallen into the people, and even the emperor who died, saying that he was faking his death." ”

"How ridiculous you say, what kind of prince seizes the throne and restores the country, you have to wait for others to donate those few taels of silver, what is enough!"

She said cheerfully, but Tang Wushu didn't hear it in his ears at all.

She has seen these identity tags, which are the brands of the imperial merchant Zhong family, especially the ingots pattern with auspicious clouds, which is the badge of the imperial gift.

The whole country of Qingliang attaches great importance to a sense of authority, and the royal family has a penchant for giving badges, which has long become a status symbol in the true sense.

Each family of the powerful has a badge given by the royal family, which is engraved on the identity token or various utensils, and when the swagger passes through the market, people can recognize whose family it is, which is particularly majestic, and some royal relatives can also enjoy privileges.

Of course, no one could use the badge privately without the permission of the imperial court, and it was a capital offense to be discovered.

But it is not difficult to get this honor, in addition to making meritorious contributions to the official and making the emperor happy, the most direct thing is to donate a large sum of silver to the imperial court.

At that time, you can get permission from the imperial court to use the family badge, but there are no privileges, but that is also an identity, in the Qingliang Kingdom, it means that you can be accepted by the powerful and respected by ordinary people.

In a prosperous place, people who don't have a family badge can't break into the upper echelons, and others don't care about you at all.

And the badge in front of Tang Wushu knows and is very familiar with it, and he can receive a lot of filial piety from this family every year.

The eldest grandson of the Zhong family of the imperial merchant is Zhuang Ya, the daughter of the Zhuang family, the woman who wanders among the powerful, is familiar with the ladies and ladies of various families like sisters, and is very good at eating everywhere.

Using the wealth of her husband's family, she made money for many wives in high-ranking houses, and she specially distributed the business of benefits to each wife, and her own family also participated, and she earned a lot.

Zhuang Ya is the cash cow of the ladies of Qingliang, without her, everyone has a lot less money. What's more, because she is just a married girl, she can make everyone pretend that her benefits have nothing to do with the dealer.

But in the final analysis, she is also a member of the banker's family, and how she can marry has nothing to do with the banker.

Although the Zhong family is an imperial merchant and is particularly rich, they do not have the ability to dissociate themselves from the dealer. If you really have that mind, I'm afraid you won't know how to die.

The more Tang Wushu thought about it, the more frightened he felt, Zhuang Ya's people found out about the whereabouts of Prince Tang Su, but they didn't report it to the imperial court, and they didn't even know about the most well-informed Jinlong Palace.

Wrong!

She suddenly came back to her senses, it was impossible for the Jinlong Palace to be ignorant of this matter, they just had another purpose and didn't tell it!

Thinking that a few years ago, the dealer was punished by the emperor because of the enclosure of more than 300 acres.

In fact, the magnates who can enclose the land, more or less will forcibly take away a lot, and everyone else is fine, and the high-powered dealer who is like a wolf and a tiger is punished.

Although it was just a scolding, plus a return of land and a fine of five hundred taels of silver, this inconsequential punishment was not the point, what made people suspicious was the emperor's attitude towards the banker.

At that time, everyone secretly speculated that the emperor was dissatisfied with the excessive power of the Zhuang family, and the concubine Zhuang in the palace was also punished for three days for trivial matters, plus copying scriptures.

This has never happened before!

Tang Wudi's eyes widened in horror when he thought of this.

Did he find that the emperor began to distrust him, and he might seize power from the banker, so the banker planned to strike first and go to the Tang Su prince, who was still alive, to replace the emperor!
