I have to say that the Red Butterfly Ancestor is indeed extremely rampant.

After leaving with Tu Sui, he didn't care about the corpses of the watchmen on the ground. There is no fear that his whereabouts will be exposed.,With absolute confidence.。

The next day, when a pedestrian found the body of the watchman, he immediately went to report to the police.

After a brief examination of the corpse, the official in the government confirmed that the beating was a one-hit killing, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

After the recent turmoil in the Red Butterfly Sect, the government was undoubtedly much more cautious, and when it encountered this kind of case that could not be solved by itself, it immediately wrote a report and reported it to Yang Guang.

When Yang Guang learned of this, he immediately sent Yang Gonggong to check.

By the time Yang Guang came back, it was already two hours later.

"How's it going, have you found anything?" Yang Guang asked.

"It's miserable."

Yang Gonggong recalled the tragic situation of the corpse, and couldn't help but show a gloomy: "Judging from the injuries on the corpse, the other party used a hidden weapon to directly hit the neck of the beater, and this hidden weapon is a plum blossom dart full of barbs, after entering the human body, it is difficult to be pulled out, and there is only one way to die." ”

"Moreover, the plum blossom dart is also full of poison, and it is just enough to deal with other people in the rivers and lakes, and it is enough to deal with a powerless watchman, which is enough to see that this person is ruthless."

"Did you bring back the plum dart? Show me. Yang Guang pondered for a moment and asked.

Yang Gonggong nodded, and took out a rolled handkerchief from his arms.

Put it on the table, spread it out, revealing a bloodstained plum blossom dart, the shape of the plum blossom dart, as Yang Gonggong just described, it exudes a pungent smell, Yang Guang leaned closer, and couldn't help covering his nose and frowning.

"This kind of evil secret weapon, righteous people should not use it, it is a cult person." Yang Guang closed the handkerchief and said, "Is there such a person in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Yang was determined: "Before the old slave came to see His Majesty, he went to visit Senior Sun, and I knew from him that there is only one person who uses such a secret weapon in the rivers and lakes, and that is the Red Butterfly Ancestor!" ”

"Red Butterfly Ancestor?" Yang Guang was stunned, his fists clenched secretly.

The disciples of the Red Butterfly Ancestor on death row are still being interrogated, but those people are very hard-mouthed, and they have refused to confess until now, no matter what they ask, they only say "I don't know".

Before this progressed, the Red Butterfly Ancestor appeared to do evil.

"It's a pity that there is no monitoring, either check the monitoring, and you can know where the Red Butterfly Ancestor is hiding." Yang Guang said, quite nostalgic for those high-tech, in later generations, the sky net formed by cameras all over the streets and alleys can make any criminal have nothing to hide.

"Surveillance?" Gonggong Yang was stunned, what is this monitoring?

"Okay, bury this beater, since the Red Butterfly Ancestor has appeared, then you order to go down, let the people below pay more attention to it, secretly search in Jiangdu, and strive to find this person's hiding place as soon as possible, he has the blood of the people of the Great Sui on his hands, how can I, the emperor of the Great Sui, forgive him?" Yang Guang waved his hand.

"Yes."

Gonggong Yang responded, but then said worriedly: "When the Red Butterfly Ancestor knows that his apprentice is trapped on death row, will he find a way to rescue him?" ”

"Or, go straight to Jiangdu Palace?"

Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "The two things you said have a certain possibility, so let's strengthen the defense of the palace and death row, and it is best to lay a net of heaven and earth, just wait for the Red Butterfly Ancestor to take the initiative to vote." ”

Although he has never dealt with the Red Butterfly Ancestor and has collided head-on, this person is notorious, like a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, for such a character, Yang Guang is very prone to murder in his heart, after all, he is doing harm for the people.

Then, Yang Guang once again paid attention to the matter of borrowing silver from the common people.

Driven by the scholars, some ordinary people were already ready to move, and went to the government to pay the silver, and it was only half a day later, and more than 300,000 taels of silver were gathered for the Great Sui court.

can't help but make Yang Guang sigh, the common people, is really a force to be reckoned with!

Especially those landlords and gentry and other big dogs, if they want to be able to participate, the silver gathered will not be just a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and it is likely to start at a million.

These people are shrewd, good at business and money, and their families are rich, and the cost of just one month is probably enough for those ordinary families of three to live without worrying about food and clothing for half a lifetime.

However, Yang Guang did not use force to force these people to pay money.

Because Yang Guang knew that fighting local tyrants and seizing property was a means that could only satisfy the shortness of the moment, and they would be slumped, and they would lose the ability to collect money in the future.

And if the Great Sui wants to develop and grow, the silver needed is far from being something that can be done with hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels of silver.

If these landlords and gentry could continue to contribute silver to the Great Sui, the effect would undoubtedly be better.

"If you want them to be willing to lend the silver in their hands to the Great Sui, you have to let them see the benefits as soon as possible, and only the benefits can make them tempted."

Yang Guang knew in his heart that at present, although those landlords and gentry have not moved for the time being, their eyes must be paying direct attention to the matter of the court borrowing silver, and wait until a month later, the court will begin to pay loan fees to the common people to enhance their credibility, and only then may some landlords and gentry decide to participate in this matter.

After all, once they take the silver, the scale will definitely be not small, so it is also in line with human nature to wait and see for a while.

In this regard, Yang Guang is not in a hurry, as the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, this is not leading troops to fight, and it is necessary to see results in a short period of time.

Three days is fleeting.

The amount of silver borrowed by the imperial court finally exceeded one million.

The treasury of the Great Sui, which was still extremely barren, was suddenly enriched again.

With this money, Yang Guang once again restarted the establishment of a regulatory body, and this time, the head of the household department and other courtiers did not raise any objections, and each raised their hands in favor. Their only request was just for Yang Guang to send the money that had been in arrears for several months as soon as possible.

If you want to change to the past, with money in your hands, Yang Guang will definitely be unprecedentedly generous.

But now, that's not the case.

In the main hall, Yang Guang kept crying poverty to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also know what a big price the Great Sui has to pay in order to borrow this silver. ”

"And even so, this silver is still far from enough to set up a regulatory body, and we have to continue to ask the people to borrow ......."
