Jiang Shishi: "......"

The man's hot palm wrapped Jiang Shishi's hand, and even the strong physique attached to her back was terrifyingly hot.

She glanced back at the man, and in the dark night, she saw the man's Adam's apple roll slightly, and saw a raging flame churning under the man's eyes.

Jiang Shishi knew that he was a normal man with normal needs.

Thinking of the horrific scene I saw the last time I bumped into a man changing clothes, as long as I didn't let her sleep, I could say anything.

So, under the guidance of the man, Jiang Shishi slowly untied the man's jade belt.

After a long time, Huang Dechang, who was keeping vigil outside, heard a low roar from the inner room, and he was so startled that he looked back at the closed room, and his eyes were about to fall out.

However, it was pitch black in the room, and he could see nothing.

After a while, Huang Dechang heard the prince call him, so he pushed the door and entered, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Come in with a basin of warm water." ”

"Yes." Soon, Pei Xuanling brought a basin of warm water in, and after he put the warm water next to the bed, he retreated.

After Huang Dechang went out, Pei Xuanling got out of bed and lit the lamp, and personally handed the basin of warm water to the woman.

Jiang Shishi sat on the bed and rubbed her sore arms, she first glanced at the man sadly, and then washed her hands with the basin of warm water.

**

At the beginning of September, before any news came from Governor Zhao's mansion, the prince found out the truth by himself.

As for Governor Zhao's side, he didn't have any hope.

At this moment, Pei Xuanling was processing official documents in the guest room.

Jiang Shishi sat on the side, helping the man grind.

At this time, Huang Dechang came in with a stack of letters.

"Your Highness, about that iron mine, our doorman in Shu helped find out, that mine is so big, it stands to reason that it should be recorded in the local government, and the annual mine output must be reported to the imperial court, but that mine is not recorded in the government, but a black mine."

"The reason why several mine owners of the mine arrested people to work there was to save wages and to avoid people's eyes."

If you pay someone to go to the mine to mine, the local people know that the mine is not owned by the government.

Arresting people to do coolies, only entering and not leaving, and the news cannot flow outside.

Pei Xuanling stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "Have you found those mine owners?" ”

"According to your instructions, the slave let people follow the Pang lady, and sure enough, he found the big boss in the mine, and followed the big boss to touch the houses of the rest of the masters."

"And, along these lines, our people found out several mines under the names of these mine owners, including several copper mines and iron mines, but, according to them, those mines are just recorded in their names, and the silver earned does not belong to them, and their real livelihood is to let Taoist priests cheat and make money in Shudi."

Jiang Shishi: As soon as she said "......", she understood.

It's no wonder that those mine owners put a lot of money and don't make money, and they actually cheat in Shu to make money, in case they are implicated in the mine, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?

The money earned from the co-authoring of the mine has nothing to do with them!

"The person who really owns the mine is the one who guessed before?" Pei Xuanling asked lightly.

"If you go back to Your Highness, it is the King of Shu you guessed." Huang Dechang handed a few letters in his hand to the crown prince, "These letters are all local officials who colluded with the King of Shu, and Zhao Zhifu is one of them. In addition, it is the large and small mines of the King of Shu named everywhere......"

The king of Shu named the mine on those mine owners, and those mine owners backed the king of Shu, wantonly robbed the people's daughters, and cheated among the people, which was considered mutually beneficial.

As for those official mansions, the king of Shu would buy them with silver money every year.

Pei Xuanling looked at the contents of the letter, among those officials who colluded with the King of Shu, there were actually some of them who were his free-range local disciples!

After reading the letter, Pei Xuanling put the letter away, "Huang Dechang, since this matter has been clarified, you will let the people below pack up their burdens and leave Shu today." ”

His father asked him to find out why the output of Shudi mines was getting lower and lower year by year, and now that he found out, he could make a difference.

At that time, he will report the details of this place to his father, and his father and the court will deal with the king of Shu and those officials who collude with the king of Shu.

Although he is the crown prince, but the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, the king of Shu has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, even if he doesn't threaten the king of Shu, maybe the king of Shu will take his life for the Mu Wang party.

Not to mention that he has the handle of the King of Shu in his hand, if he forces the King of Shu to be in a hurry, maybe the King of Shu will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he can do anything.

Hearing that the crown prince was about to leave, Jiang Shishi asked: "Your Highness, since you let the people below find out the matter, why do you have to go to Shu in person to make this trip?" ”

"These things, even if my father is far away in the capital, he can find out, but he still sent me to Shu to secretly investigate this matter." Pei Xuanling began to clean up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, "Because, my father only has a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, although some things can be checked by the people below, they may not be the real situation." ”

"Take the doormen I arranged in Shu as an example, now there are thirty percent of the doormen who have colluded with the king of Shu, if I didn't come to Shu in person to run and understand the situation of the local mines and the government, just let them help me check, I am afraid that they will collude with the king of Shu, and the truth will be whitewashed by them in three or two sentences."

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi nodded, "The concubine understands." ”

"By the way, Your Highness, now that we are leaving Shudi, what should we do with that old Taoist?" On the side, Huang Dechang asked while cleaning up the table.

"That old thing, it's useless for us to keep it." Pei Xuanling said decisively: "At his age, his heart is very bad, and he is almost alive, don't let him harm her again." ”

Although the old Taoist priest was not the mastermind, he harmed those women from good families for money.

If the local government does something, he will directly ask people to hand over the old Taoist priest to the government.

However, the local government aided the abuse, so he had no choice but to directly deal with the old Taoist.

"Yes, the minion will have someone dispose of him in a moment." Huang Dechang understood that His Royal Highness was trying to take the life of the old Taoist priest, "What about those mine owners and the rest of the Taoist temples?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "These people will definitely have to be dealt with, but not now." ”

Now that these people have the support of the King of Shu behind them, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

This time, the king of Shu privately swallowed the local mines, and his father will definitely punish the king of Shu.

At that time, he will let the King of Shu and others be wiped out!

On that day, the prince and others dealt with the matter at hand and packed their bags, and it was already afternoon.

The people left Shu in the afternoon, and at dusk they rushed to the gate of the city and left from the main gate.

Soon after leaving the city gates, it was getting dark.

After about a stick of incense, Jiang Shishi was thinking about how to help the prince avoid trouble, when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Pei Xuanling asked loudly.

Huang Dechang replied with a sharp voice: "Your Highness, I was blocked by a group of people......
