It is said that since the reception banquet that day, Lan Ruoxuan seemed to have no movement, and it was calm for a month, and nothing happened.

However, Kou Shu, since he learned that Kou Yunwu died in the Blood Alliance, he sent Yuan Song to infiltrate the Blood Alliance, hoping to find out some reliable news, but he didn't receive the news for a long time.

"Niangniang," the mandarin duck stepped forward with a letter in his hand.

"But there's news from Yuansong?" Kou Shu looked up and asked.

The mandarin duck shook his head, the letter in his hand on the ground, and said, "It seems to be the news from Lord Sui from Yanzhou." ”

Kou Shu was stunned, since Bai Tingran volunteered in front of Song Jinyan and went to Yanzhou to help Sui Yuanzhou, he had never heard the news about Sui Yuanzhou, but he faintly understood from the side that the situation in Yanzhou had greatly improved, and the lives of the people had also improved a lot.

Taking the letter from the mandarin duck's hand, Kou Shu opened it and read the letter in ten lines at a glance.

The ripples on the side leaned over and said, "Niangniang, what did Lord Sui say?" ”

Kou Shu was amused by the ripples' movements, chuckled, and said, "Senior brother is in trouble in Yanzhou. ”

"Trouble?" Ripple frowned: "Are you here to ask Niangniang for advice?" ”

Kou Shu nodded, then shook her head again. My thoughts drifted into the distance, and I expected early on that the so-called protection of officials and officials must also have a backing, not to mention that the problem here in Yanzhou has been around for a long time, and there must be a deep-rooted reason behind it.

Sui Yuanzhou mentioned in the letter that he and Bai Tingran investigated deeply and found a large number of account books involving officials who secretly colluded and received them privately, but by the time they arrived, most of those account books had been almost burned, leaving only a few fragments, and the content was also incomplete. Among these fragments, Sui Yuanzhou vaguely found a person named Twelve Masters, who did not have any information about this person in the entire account book, but he drew the most silver taels.

Sui Yuanzhou suspected that this person was behind the darkness of Yanzhou officialdom. However, now the clues related to that person have not been found for a long time, if the net is closed now, what is arrested is only some corrupt and bribery officials on the surface, selling official positions, and giving and receiving privately, but if the people behind this are not removed, I am afraid that in a few years, the new officials will take office, but it will not be long before they will return to the original state.

In the letter, Sui Yuanzhou expressed his worries and concerns, and said that he suspected that this person was a minister of the DPRK and China. Ask Kou Shu if there is a way.

"Niangniang-" Seeing that Kou Shu was lost in thought, Ripple spoke tentatively on the side.

When Kou Shu heard this, she came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Ripples, you help me go and invite the emperor to come over." ”

Ripple nodded, and just turned around to leave, only to hear a voice behind him-"The queen wants to find me, what is the matter?" It was Song Jinyan who spoke.

Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, turned to Song Jinyan and said, "Your Majesty, Sui Yuanzhou has sent a letter." ”

Song Jinyan nodded: "What does the queen think?" ”

Kou Shu frowned, originally Sui Yuanzhou had told Song Jinyan about these things one by one, and this time he asked himself alone, there must be no way. Kou Shu thought for a while and said, "Who does the emperor think the emperor thinks of this twelfth master?" ”

Song Jinyan raised her eyebrows, looked at Kou Shu with a smile, and said, "The queen has ever thought about a question. ”

"What?" Kou Shu asked.

"The queen knows what Sui Yuanzhou checked, and the numbers on the books are comparable to the taxes collected by the treasury in a year."

Kou Shu nodded, if it weren't for Sui Yuanzhou's investigation, she would never have imagined that these people were so insatiable.

"There is one thing that I can't understand," Song Jinyan frowned: "What are they doing with so much money?" Such a huge amount of money is enough to worry about food and clothing. ”

Kou Shu was stunned, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, and she raised her head and looked at Song Jinyan in disbelief, but saw Song Jinyan give herself a positive look, indicating that what she was thinking was not wrong.

What people are pursuing is nothing more than fame and fortune, and the official position of the people behind this is not low, and they are so crazy about accumulating money, if it is just for money, it is really unreasonable. If so, I'm afraid it's for ......

Thinking of the recent events in the palace, there is a hint of understanding on the faces of the two, but there is a haze between the eyebrows that cannot be dispersed. I am afraid that this matter will still require a lot of manpower and material resources to solve.

The weather in May has a hint of sultry, the warm spring breeze blows, people feel a sense of dryness and heat, some of the early flowering lotus flowers have been in the pond one after another to open one after another, look at the lotus leaves, but beautiful.

In a mansion in Dadu, a man in a purple robe stood with his hands in his hands, the man was handsome, and his gestures were graceful and luxurious.

The other man on the side wore an iron mask on his face, and a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes revealed an infinite sense of yin and calculation, which was undoubtedly Lan Haoke.

"Why, Third Prince, such a worried look has something to do with the matter in Yanzhou?" Lan Haoke spoke, his tone full of banter.

The purple-robed man is the third prince Song Yuanxu, at this moment Song Yuanxu changed the appearance of a gentleman in front of people, a fair face was full of cold cold, hearing Lan Haoke's words, Song Yuanxu snorted coldly, and said: "Don't laugh at me, if something happens to me, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Lan Haoke shrugged his shoulders slightly, expressing noncommittal, and then spoke: "I understand what the three princes said, but now that Sui Yuanzhou, as well as the one named Bai Tingran, are staring at Yanzhou to death, it must be a great disadvantage to the three princes." Yanzhou is a fortress in Jiangyin, and all the merchant ships that come and go pass through it, if Yanzhou gets out of control, the purse of the three princes will not be able to bulge. ”

Song Yuanxu pursed his lips, his tone was even more disdainful, and said, "That's not what I'm worried about. ”

"What the third prince is worried about, I'm afraid it's that he will be exposed-" A voice came from outside the door, only to see a man pushing the door in, the man was small, hooked back, full of pockmarks, looking like a small person in the market, but when he spoke, he spoke with a loud voice, which did not match his appearance at all.

Song Yuanxu glanced at the people who came in, and couldn't help frowning: "Brother Chu's disguise technique is really fascinating, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be a fourth person here, I really thought it was some kind of bastard." ”

I saw that the man smiled slightly, and his hand lightly wrapped his face, and after a while, a delicate and handsome face appeared in front of the two of them, and it was Chu Li.
