Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zhao Hai looked at them calmly. He had no intention of killing these people in the first place. These people are just hired little characters who may not know what they are doing.

Zhao Hai felt that they still had some value to use, and even said: "I can give you a chance to make up for your mistakes now, but I don't know if you know how to cherish it." ”

Several people knelt on the ground, with expressions of allegiance on their faces, and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'll do my best! Don't let your majesty down! Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we are willing to break through for Your Majesty! Please make it clear to Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Hai said: "Not only do you go back to explain the tax to the people, this is the most basic. And you have to do another, more important thing. ”

Immediately, Zhao Hai made a color and made the people around him retreat.

In the room, Zhao Hai secretly told them another task.

In the middle of the night, seven or eight squires, as well as their servants, were sent out of the Xianyang Palace Gate by the forbidden army in a few black carriages in the night.

All the way was cleaned by the people of the Black Ice Platform in advance, so no one saw these carriages at all, and no one knew when the people in the carriage got down and where they went after they got down.

At this time, in the Chengming Palace, Han Ying quietly pushed the door in and stood in front of Zhao Hai.

Han Ying said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already investigated clearly. That Kang Laosan is a vicious dog under Liu Hu's hands. ”

The minister has already found out, although Liu Hu has high hopes for his father, but he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has no great talent, but is anxious and irritable, greedy for luxury and pleasure. often does some things that harm the neighbors and is hated by outsiders. ”

"And he often likes some women from good families who have become married, but because of his father Liu Yuan, he didn't dare to make a direct move on the surface, so he raised a vicious dog like Kang Laosan, and took other people's wives specifically for him."

"With Liu Hu behind Kang Laosan's back, Kang Laosan gradually became bolder, in addition to helping Liu Hu do things, he also began to bully the people, bullying men and women."

"In the entire Xianyang City before, because of the prestige of Liu Yuan and Liu Hu's father and son, Kang Laosan did evil, but no one could control him."

"Many people are miserable, and it is useless to report to the officials."

Zhao Hai slammed the table in front of him and said, "A city defense commander!" Mixed up with the ruffians and hooligans, in cahoots! Nuisance the people! Damn it! ”

"In addition to helping Liu Hu do this, what else is Boss Kang doing in private?"

Han Ying clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, he also collects the tax of the vendors in his neighborhood privately, which is called the business tax, and if anyone does not pay it, he and his subordinates will be beaten violently that day." ”

"There is also the illegal trafficking of illicit salt and doing some salt and iron business."

When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately clenched his fists together. A ruffian hooligan actually collected taxes in Xianyang City?

This is simply ridiculous to the point of unheard of!

This kind of crime is a capital crime to say which dynasty or generation.

Zhao Hai said coldly: "Is there any real evidence? ”

Han Ying clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there is no definite evidence of the resale of salt and iron, only rumors, please forgive your Majesty a little time, and you can find out all of them." ”

"As for what can be convicted in a pinch, it is the evidence of Kang Laosan's crime of robbing other people's wives."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Just occupying the people's daughters, such a crime is not enough for me. ”

"Do a good investigation, especially the collection of taxes and the sale of illicit salt and iron, we must keep an eye on it and find real evidence."

"In addition, don't do it now, or intimidate or coerce Nakang Laosan, let him continue to be arrogant and presumptuous. The more arrogant he is, the more he will show his feet. If I don't make a move this time, I will be ruthless as soon as I make a move, and I must take the Liu family away! ”

"No!" Han Ying said.

Zhao Hai continued to ask: "Now in the past few days, is there any news about Wei Qian's investigation?" ”

Han Ying said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei has just arrived in Jiujiang County for a few days, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold. ”

"But he sent someone to deliver news that he has found some clues, please give him a little more time."

Zhao Hai said: "It's not wrong for me to send Wei Qian. Only Wei Qian went to Jiujiang County to suppress those rebellious ministers. ”

Wei Qian, this person is not a bird, you don't have any bribes, and what kind of strong head snake, if you catch it, you will kill, this old fat man is a hard horse, and he is suddenly in a mess.

Han Ying continued to add: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei's friends and the subordinates sent out have basically helped Lord Wei understand the situation in the entire Jiujiang River now. ”

"It is estimated that it won't be long before Lord Wei will be able to find out the entire Jiujiang County and then grasp it in his hands, and then the investigation will naturally be handy."

Zhao Hai said: "Yes, I believe that Wei Qian must have this ability. ”

At this time, Han Ying accompanied Zhao Hai out of the Chengming Palace, walked on the edge of the Lanchi for a while, and then Han Ying said with a slightly worried face: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks about it, there is still one thing that must be told to Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Hai turned his head in surprise and looked at Han Ying. Han Ying is the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, and no one is afraid of anyone except himself.

What else could make him embarrassed?

Han Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, during this period of time, Wang Shuyi often went to the Imperial Doctor's Room to get medicine. ”

Zhao Hai said: "Take the medicine? Could it be that she will not be able to heal? ”

Han Ying said: "Not really. Your Majesty, among the medicinal herbs, there is a taste of medicine, which is musk. ”

Zhao Hai's pupils shrank, musk was a medicine used by ancient women to prevent pregnancy. What does this Wang Yu want to do!

Looking at Zhao Hai's puzzled look, Han Ying immediately said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, the minister has secretly checked, according to the palace maids, Wang Shuyi's main effect of using musk is also to treat heart and abdominal pain, and the five hearts are just hot." ”

Zhao Hai said coldly: "These people from the Tai Doctor's Room, is it possible that they don't know what musk is?" How dare you prescribe such a medicine to the concubine Shuyi in the palace? They don't want to live? ”

Han Ying said: "Your Majesty, this is not the case, at that time, Wang Shuyi must have forcibly taken the musk from the imperial doctor's room. The doctors didn't dare to stop her. ”

Hearing Han Ying's explanation, Zhao Hai also quieted down and didn't say more. He knew that the imperial doctor really didn't dare to stop Wang Yu.

That woman, who is not even afraid of herself, how can she be afraid of the imperial doctor?

Zhao Hai thought of the incident of Feng Qu's illness in Wang Yu's family, and the old case of destroying the door, and his thoughts flew for a while.

Zhao Hai said: "In this case, you should ask the Tai Doctor to completely hide the musk medicine, Wang Shuyi came to ask and said no, and prescribe other medicines to her instead." ”
