There is a shocking corruption case in the imperial court, and the influence of this case can set off the entire Jiezhou officialdom. After strictly pursuing it, I don't know how many people will be killed, let alone how many people will be implicated.

The case of the spar embezzlement of ink may be related to Yuan Sanqu in the court, and when this case involves Yuan Sanqu, it is not just as simple as the case of embezzlement of ink. Huo Wujia has always wanted to get rid of Yuan Sanqu, but unfortunately he couldn't get evidence. The case of spar embezzlement of ink burned to Yuan Sanqu, which was a rare opportunity for Huo Wujia and the emperor.

On the other hand, Wen Mao in Sitong City and Bian Shiyun in Xinye City are very likely to be related to the underground armor trade.

Banditry, spar greed, the new policy of the imperial court, the underground armor trade, and the power struggle at the top......

None of them is easy to do, they are intertwined with each other, and they rely on a little prince to deal with it, and it is a big joke in the world. Ye Feng may not be able to do this kind of thing well, and if he does it well, he may not be able to get out of it.

Mu Fan suspected that the family might be involved in the underground armor trade, and with the current situation of the family, the armor was needed. According to the consistent behavior characteristics of the Mu family, with such a high profit, the family will not not not participate.

After listening to Mu Fan's analysis, Zhao Jianyan only felt that his head was about to explode. There was a fog in front of him, and he began to think that there was a hornet's nest in the fog, but after contact, he found that it was an abyss, and now he thought about it, not only an abyss, but also a cemetery, a graveyard where whoever touched it died.

"Haha......" he touched his back, his hands were sticky and full of sweat, "Damn...... There was no way to mix it up, my father asked me to go to celebrate the birthday of the concubine for the first time, I went, and I was detained. Now let me die...... I, I ......"

His words were all blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything, his fists clenched, and his head shook with anger.

"Woo......" Zhao Jianyan's body straightened and fell to the ground.

Huanong hurriedly picked up Zhao Jianyan and took Zhao Jianyan to rest in the courtyard where he lived temporarily.

Mu Fan stood in the lobby in a daze, and said in his heart: "Underground armor trading...... Tsk, my family should be able to give me news, I'm looking for death, someone must stop me. My family doesn't stop me, but what about the person behind the scenes? Are you willing to let me die? ”

Zhao Jianyan was angry and scared, and fainted. When I woke up that night, my spirit was much worse, and I was already not so concerned about the bandits.

Gao Ning's goal has been achieved, now he only needs to go through the motions, give Zhao Jianyan some bandits' corpses, and let this frightened Qincha go back with dignity.

The Taishou Mansion in Yangshan City is a little far from the soldiers and horses camp in Sitong City, and in the first three days, Zhao Jianyan was lying in the frame and never came out.

On the fourth day, when he was about to arrive at the place, Zhao Jianyan summoned Mu Fan by name.

Mu Fan entered the frame and saw that Zhao Jianyan was in poor spirits and looked very tired.

"Your Highness." His body bent slightly.

"Excuse me." Zhao Jianyan smiled bitterly, "Alas...... You also saw that I wanted to do something practical when I came to the southeast this time, but who would have thought that this matter would be so big, and what I saw was only the tip of the iceberg. ”

Mu Fan said: "The matter is too wide, and His Highness has done his best." ”

Zhao Jianyan raised his hand, "Am I looking down on myself, actually...... Actually, I don't have the ability to support the community. ”

"Your Highness, don't be presumptuous."

Zhao Jianyan said: "Zhou Xun followed me to the northwest and died, if it weren't for Ye Feng, I'm afraid you would also die." This time we went to the southeast, we couldn't play, it was not at the same level at all, and it was impossible to win. ”

Mu Fan said: "It's impossible. ”

"Will you despise me if I throw away my armor and flee back?"

"No, I sometimes have the same pain as you." Mu Fan smiled self-deprecatingly, "The matter is in front of me, but I have no ability to solve it at all, so I can only shrink back." ”

Zhao Jianyan said: "We are still too young, and there is no place for young people in this world of great contention. ”

Mu Fan shook his head and said, "There is a place for us, but it is not suitable yet." ”

"When is the right time?" Zhao Jianyan was a little anxious, saliva flew out when he spoke, and the slightly swollen pus at the corner of his mouth was accidentally rubbed by him, and the pus and blood flowed out, and he was completely unaware.

Mu Fan said: "It will take many more years." ”

He pointed to the outside of the frame, "We can't touch the things outside, even if your status rises in the future, it will not be so easy to solve." ”

Zhao Jianyan said abruptly: "I can't solve it this time, I have to come next time, I must solve this matter!" ”

"I'll come with you next time."

"What do you think we should do now?" Zhao Jianyan couldn't figure it out.

Mu Fan said: "Take advantage of the trend, we want to make a spear, but if we can't do it, then we can only make a shield." The officials of Jiezhou will not embarrass you, you are the minister of the Qincha no matter what. ”

Zhao Jianyan sighed, leaned back, and put his head on the side wall of the carriage, "I've come here, and I can't do anything." ”

"Who said that?" Mu Fan tried to cheer Zhao Jianyan up, "The strength is not enough, it would be good if we could find out the situation, find out whether those bandits and underground armor transactions are related, how many people are involved in the officialdom of Jiezhou, who is the mastermind of the spar corruption case, and what are the accomplices......"

He said a lot at once, although he couldn't do it, but Zhao Jianyan could understand what he meant.

Zhao Jianyan said: "When I return to the imperial city, I will find something that is not so difficult to do, take my time from childhood to adulthood, and I can't become fat in one bite." ”

"Since His Highness has decided, I will definitely follow!"

The carriage continued to drive to the soldiers and horses camp in Sitong City, which lasted a day and arrived in the middle of the night.

Mu Fan got off the frame, glanced at the Terracotta Battalion, and then his eyes were caught by the Terracotta Battalion.

The camp tent stretched for nearly ten miles, and it was relatively simple to build, and the sentry posts around it were very tightly defended. The lights outside the tent were bright, but most of the lights inside the tent were extinguished, and the soldiers were basically asleep. In the big tent where the boss sits, the lights are still on.

Gao Taishou arrived, and the minister also came, and the necessary welcome was indispensable.

Mu Fan withdrew his gaze from a distance, and there was a group of people standing at the gate of the camp opposite them, all dressed as officers.

Zhao Jianyan walked in the front, and Gao Taishou walked behind him very familiarly, but everyone knew that Gao Taishou was the one who spoke here, and the minister was just a decoration!

Many generals knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Ministers, see Your Highness." ”

"It's all gone, please get up quickly, you still want to fight the bandits with me." Zhao Jianyan smiled kindly, in fact, he was already determined to clean up these people.

Just because you can't clean it up now doesn't mean you can't clean it up in the future.

The generals stood up, and the leading general said, "Your Highness, Gao Taishou, please come with me." ”

Zhao Jianyan asked, "This general, do you have a big name?" ”

The general waved his hand again and again, "Don't dare to call the honorable surname, in Xia Chengyun." ”

"General Cheng Yun, how confident are you in the matter of suppressing bandits?"

"Seventy or eighty."

"Okay, step up the drills, and let the bandits know that the imperial court is not a vegetarian, and they dare to burn, kill and loot on the territory of Jiezhou, and they are tired of being crooked." Zhao Jianyan said solemnly.
