Inside the study.

Xu Yi took out three confessions from his bosom and spread them flat on the table.

His gaze slowly wandered over the three confessions.

Scenes from last night's interrogation kept flashing back to my mind.

A moment later.

Once everything is sorted out.

Xu Yi folded it neatly and put it in his arms.

Then he slowly got up and walked to the weapon rack.

Pick up the abyssal knife that was lying quietly on the weapon rack.

"Poof!" A bang.

The blade of the abyss knife came out of its sheath, and the cold light of the blade flashed over Xu Yi's eyes.

It makes his eyes look even colder.

The news revealed in Qin Fuping's mouth did not make Xu Yi relax.

On the contrary, it aggravated the sense of crisis in Xu Yi's heart even more.

Since this drought in Guanzhong, it can be seen that the current prince already has a certain amount of power.

This is true both in the light and in the dark. @

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then slowly put the abyssal knife back into its scabbard.

The solemnity and coldness on his face disappeared without a trace as the abyssal knife slowly returned to the sheath.

Instead, there was a calm expression.

'He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills. "

'He let him be horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river. "

The corners of Xu Yi's mouth curved slightly, and he muttered a few words in a low voice without sadness or joy.

Calmly hang the abyssal knife from his waist.

With great determination, he strode out of the study.

"Sixth Master." In front of the main gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Zhao Shou had already led two war horses and waited for a long time.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, reached out to take the reins, and quickly turned over on the horse.

"Let's go!" Xu Yi let out a low shout, and then left Jingzhao Mansion.

Two people and two horses, walking quickly on the streets of Chang'an City that had just dawned.

East! Ahead is a golden light of the morning sun blooming between heaven and earth.

Behind! It is the darkness that is gradually being dispelled.

......

Over time.

The morning sun breaking through the clouds became more and more numerous.

When the darkness clears completely.

The entire Chang'an City gradually recovered.

Walk through the streets mixed with shouting, selling, and bargaining.

It didn't take a while.

The master and servant slowed down the horse's speed very tacitly.

One more moment.

An incomparably magnificent mansion appeared in front of the master and servant.

A gilded plaque hangs high above the main entrance of the mansion.

On the door plaque, there are three glittering big characters - Jin Wangfu!

Xu Yi turned over and dismounted, handing the reins to Zhao Shou beside him.

Raise your head and gaze at the three big characters of 'Jin Wangfu' at the main entrance.

If it weren't for him in Chang'an City, his foundation would be as shallow as a blank sheet of paper.

Saying anything, he would not let Xu Zhen step into this muddy water.

Xu Yi sighed helplessly in his heart, and the hands hidden under the sleeves couldn't help but clench into fists.

After settling down, a touch of perseverance flashed in Xu Yi's eyes, and then he strode towards the main entrance.

"Please pass it on, and say that Xu Yi wants to see him." Xu Yi arched his hand towards the two guards with knives in the Jin Palace, and said politely.

The eyes of the two guards flashed from the official seal on Xu Yi's waist.

Jing Zhao Yin Dayin, surnamed Xu Mingyi, the two guards already knew the identity of the person in front of them in an instant.

Quickly clenched his fists and saluted: "Please stay for a while, and the little ones will go to pass it on." ”

As soon as the words fell, one of the guards quickly turned around and ran towards the house.

It didn't take a while.

Several guards with knives rushed in.

Without saying a word, the main entrance was completely opened.

As the main door slowly opened, a middle-aged man with slightly unsteady steps and slightly gray hair appeared in Xu Yi's eyes.

"Hahahaha." Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and Xu Zhen laughed and said, "Yi'er, come in!" Come on in! ”

。

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yi's mouth, leaving all the etiquette out of his mind.

Walk briskly towards Xu Zhen.

Before approaching, Xu Yi didn't have time to speak.

Xu Zhen grabbed Xu Yi's sleeve and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Don't wait for Xu Yi to answer.

Xu Zhen asked himself and replied: "I must not have eaten at this hour, let's take a walk, and I will talk about other things later, so I will accompany the second uncle to have some food first." ”

Xu Yi smiled and turned thousands of words into one word: "Okay." ”

It didn't take a while.

The backyard canteen of the Jin Palace.

Xu Zhen got up and took the rice spoon and said again and again: "Eat another bowl, look at you, Jing Zhaoyin has lost so much weight after only a few days." ”

"Second uncle, I'm full, I'm really full. @·error-free start~~" Xu Yi protected the chopsticks with one hand and swayed again and again with the other.

In just a while, he had already eaten four bowls of porridge and rice, and he really couldn't eat it anymore.

"Really full?" Xu Zhen asked uneasily.

"I'm so full." Xu Yi had to reassure again and again.

"Okay then." As he spoke, Xu Zhen put down the rice spoon in his hand and slowly got up and said, "Let's go, go to the study." ”

"Okay." Xu Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and silently followed behind Xu Zhen.

While walking, Xu Yi looked at the slightly unsteady back in front of him from time to time.

The eyelids are slightly drooping, making it impossible for outsiders to see their inner thoughts through their eyes.

"Squeak." There was a soft thud.

Xu Zhen slowly pushed open the door of the study.

As soon as I stepped through the door of the study.

A very familiar greeting came from the study.

"Ask your heart to meet the prince and meet the little master." The leader of the heart stood in the corner and greeted the two respectfully.

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Yi and said softly: "Go, the second uncle is outside the door, just call the second uncle if you have something." ”

As if he knew what Xu Yi wanted to say.

After the words fell, Xu Zhen directly withdrew from the study, and closed the door for the two of them by the way.

The plan is not to put himself out of the way, but to give Xu Yi enough space to think.

Xu Yi's heart warmed, and then he strode to the Taishi chair on the side.

As soon as Fang took his seat, he looked at the leader of the conscience.

The leader of the heart knew this, and took out a simple wooden box from his bosom.

Take two steps forward and respectfully hand it to Xu Yi.

Then he said: "This small wooden box is what the little master asked his subordinates to find. ”

After Xu Yi took it.

The Leader of the Conscience once again took out a small wooden box made of wood from his bosom and respectfully presented it.

opened his mouth and said: "This is another share, it comes from the Qingzhou Feng family. ”

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and reached out to take the small wooden box.

Then he waved his hand, signaling that the leader of the conscience could step back for the time being.

The leader of the heart of conscience clasped his fists and saluted, and then silently withdrew from the study.

When the creaking sound came again.

In the huge study, only Xu Yi was left.

Xu Yi looked at the two small wooden boxes on the table with a solemn face.

From the intact copper locks of the wooden boxes, it is not difficult to see that neither of these wooden boxes has been violently opened recently.

Xu Yi's arm drooped, and with a slight tremble, the dragon tooth dagger naturally slipped into Xu Yi's hand.

The dragon's tooth dagger was operated in three or two.

The two small wooden boxes were quickly opened by Xu Yi by violent means.

Reveal the true face of what is hidden within.

After returning the dragon's tooth dagger to its place, Xu Yi quickly picked up the contents of the simple wooden box—a thick account book with a slight yellowing.

With Xu Yi's slowly flipping open.

The first sentence made Xu Yi unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"I am willing to exchange the death of my Zhou Qiping for a stable New Year!"

Obviously, when writing this account book, Zhou Qiping already knew what his final outcome was.

The reason why the account books are yellowed may be most directly related to Zhou Qiping's improper preservation.

Such an important thing, so sloppy preservation.

Obviously, when Zhou Qiping was stored, the situation was extremely urgent.

Even so urgent that Zhou Qiping did not have enough time to properly deal with this incriminating evidence.

Xu Yi settled down and continued to flip through the account books.

As the account books slowly flipped through, Xu Yi gradually had a more comprehensive understanding of the whole incident in his heart.

After a long time.

Xu Yi slowly closed the account book, closed his eyes and tried to digest the hidden contents of the account book.

If Feng Youfang's incriminating evidence makes Xu Yi only able to cut off the arm of the family behind those business houses.

Then, Zhou Qiping's incriminating evidence can help Xu Yi beat all the families behind those business houses to death!

Especially what is written on the last two pages.

Suddenly aimed the spearhead directly at the two princes, one from the second rank of the court, four from the fourth rank of the court, and three marquis!

It's a pity.

The last two pages are too sloppy, or too panicked.

There is only one Song Guogong and one Pingyang Marquis who really have substantive evidence of crimes.

The rest of the personnel are just a suspicion.

Or perhaps, Zhou Qiping didn't have time to write down the incriminating evidence of those who were in the account books one by one.

"There's not enough time." Xu Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and couldn't help whispering Nan Nan.

However, even so, this relic is still very valuable to Xu Yi. @

Xu Yi quickly picked up the items in another wooden box.

Slowly opening the outer layer of oiled paper, inside is a thin account book, as well as several letters.

It is not difficult to see from the appearance of the letters that they were not written in the same year.

Xu Yi slowly opened the letter, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.

A moment later.

Xu Yi put down the last letter, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, just relying on these letters, it was enough to completely pull that Song Guogong into the quagmire.

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then picked up the slightly thin account book.

With Xu Yi's slow flipping.

Xu Yi's originally solemn face instantly became even more solemn, and even his brows were already locked.

Without him, although the account books are thin, they record the amount of gold and silver that the Qingzhou Feng family has supplied to Song Guogong every year over the years.

It would be a great trouble if these numbers ended up in the hands of the crown prince.

"No, Song Guogong is not a saint, and he can't be so selfless." Xu Yi muttered in a low voice.

Then he set his sights on the accounts of the final year.

For some reason, in the past, every year was briefly recorded, but the accounts of the last year were recorded in extraordinary detail.

It seems that Feng Yuyan had already expected that a catastrophe would come to him this year, hoping to use this to force Song Guogong to keep the Feng family.

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi once again exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, although the amount of money in the last year was a lot.

But it is far from terrifying.

Settle down.

Xu Yi slowly got up and took the four treasures of the study.

Copy all the letters and account books.

Half an hour later.

Xu Yi took the pile of rice paper where the ink had completely dried into his arms.

Then he got up and left the study.

"Second uncle." Outside the study, Xu Yi walked quickly to Xu Zhen who was basking in the sun in the courtyard.

"Done?" Xu Zhen turned his head to look at Xu Yi and said with concern: "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

Xu Yi nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the second uncle took a step to speak." ”

It didn't take a while.

Familiar study.

Familiar duo.

Xu Yi sat in the guest seat and pushed the two wooden boxes on the table to Xu Zhen.

He said in a low voice: "These two wooden boxes, one is Zhou Qiping's relics, which contains a large number of incriminating evidence of the wealthy family, and the other is Feng Yuyan's hidden evidence of the crimes of Song Guogong. ”

"Evidence of a large number of wealthy families?!" Xu Zhen's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the wooden box made of wood in disbelief and said uncertainly: "Song Guogong's incriminating evidence? ”

Xu Yizhong.

Nodding heavily, he replied, "Exactly, Second Uncle and look at it first." @*~~”

Seeing this, Xu Zhen's face instantly became extremely solemn.

Quickly pick up the letters and account books in the wooden box, and quickly flip through them.

The more I looked, the more solemn my complexion became.

"Bang!" A bang.

Xu Zhen slapped the account book in his hand on the table, and said indignantly: "It's really a good Qingzhou Feng family!" What a Song Guogong Zhang Yongnian! So much money! I'm not afraid to die! ”

Without him, Song Guogong and Feng Yuyan colluded with officials and businessmen for more than 20 years.

Song Guogong alone made a profit of more than 30 million taels!

You must know that in recent years, the annual tax revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been equivalent to 20 million taels of silver.

Song Guogong's profit alone is equivalent to a year and a half of tax revenue in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

And behind so much money, how many people's wives and families will be separated?

Xu Yi's face was as usual and he didn't talk.

Stretched out his hand and pushed the other wooden box in front of him, and said calmly: "Second uncle, take a look at this." ”

If all the families in Zhou Qiping's criminal evidence are taken down, then the Great Zhou Dynasty will be equivalent to three more years of taxes for no reason.

If you add the Qingzhou Feng family and Song Guogong, then the extra tax will not be a problem at all.

"Whew~!"

Xu Zhen took a few deep breaths and stabilized his mind, then he picked up Zhou Qiping's relics and flipped through them carefully.

It's a pity.

This time, he was only halfway through the page, and Xu Zhen couldn't read it anymore.

Without him, my heart hurts, and if thirty percent of so much money can flow into the military.

So, how many fewer soldiers will die at the border every year?

Xu Zhen took a few deep breaths, looked at Xu Yi with red eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Yi'er, you can make it clear, how many families and how much money are involved in Zhou Qiping's criminal evidence." ”

Xu Yi sighed and said slowly: "Thirty-two in Guanzhong, seventeen in Yuzhou, and six in Jizhou!" Yangzhou and other places participated in the participation of the communist family, if all of them were converted, it would be almost equivalent to the tax revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty for three years. ”

The words fell.

There was a long dead silence in the study.

Without him, the involvement is too great!

Sixty families of wealthy families, spanning the land of three states, several counties!

The total amount is as high as 60 million taels!

And this is just the wealthy family who participated in this disaster relief.

Every wealthy family is a behemoth with intricate relationships.

Descendants, side branches, and in-laws, countless!

If it is really done in an all-round way, I am afraid it will cause chaos in the world.

It's really a hair that moves the whole body!

At this moment, even Xu Zhen, who had always been jealous and hateful, thought of the avalanche tragedy that was very likely to occur.

I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart.

It's been a long time.

Xu Zhencai swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, and asked in a deep voice, "What is Yi'er going to do?" ”。
