Chapter 324: Exile
Jinyiwei took action again and went to all parts of the country.
In just one month, dozens of secret strongholds of the White Lotus Sect were all destroyed.
More than 5,000 sect members were escorted to Jingshi one after another, but there were not so many cells in Shuntian Mansion, so they took people directly to the Daxiao Field.
Here, there is no need for special personnel to be on duty at all, because the five military battalions train on the campus every day, and their deterrent effect is not ordinarily strong.
The silver that had been absorbed through Longsheng Qian Zhuang had been hidden on a small island in the East China Sea, and it had also been brought back.
Boatloads of silver docked at the port of Tianjin, and then were transported by train to Jingshi.
The next step is the inventory of the household, and it is found that the overall loss is about 30%, excluding the dividends received by the investors themselves, which is roughly 20% less.
However, for all investors, it is already overjoyed to get back the eight costs.
I thought the money that was swept away, and there was no hope of getting it back.
Now when he sees his money, he cries one by one and grabs the ground, and he is even more emotional than when he learned the truth about being deceived.
Zhang Yi is also an old tear, and Kuang Yu and others came to Fengtian Temple to thank him.
Zhu Qizhen didn't blame these people too much, because the lesson this time was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
The next time there is something like this, these people will be far away.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and everything was back on track in the Kyoshi.
After more than a month, Zhu Qizhen came to the edict prison again.
At this time, Song Guxi seemed to be a different person, dressed plainly, her hair was pulled up at will, and there was no powder on her face, no different from ordinary village women.
The most important thing is that the charm between talking and laughing has completely disappeared.
At first glance, Zhu Qizhen was even stunned for a long time, and after careful identification, from between his eyebrows and eyes, he was sure that the woman in front of him was Song Guxi.
"Long live the slave family knocking on my emperor!"
"You ......"
Zhu Qizhen pointed at her, entangled for a long time, and then said, "...... A lot has changed! ”
Song Gu Xi listened to it and said: "The slave family is just an ordinary woman, she didn't know the height of the sky in the past, and she played scheming in front of the emperor, but in fact, it was extremely clumsy, which made the emperor laugh." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "I came today to talk to you about some serious things. ”
Song Gu Xi bowed his head and said: "The slave family is a guilty person, how can he talk to the emperor?" If the emperor has any orders, he only needs an edict, and the slave family will do it. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen showed a knowing smile on his face, dealing with smart people is to save trouble.
"Nian has a good attitude in confessing your guilt, and all the dirty silver hidden overseas has been recovered, I have decided to give you a chance."
Song Gu Xi's expression was grim, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave family thanks the emperor for his grace!" ”
"I have conditions!"
"The emperor said that it doesn't matter, the slave family is going to the soup and the fire, and he will not give up."
"This matter really needs you to go to the soup......"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and Yuan Bin behind him took out the map he was carrying, opened it, and spread it in front of Song Guxi.
Song Guxi stared at the map for a long time, and then asked, "What does the emperor need the slave family to do?" ”
Zhu Qizhen slowly spit out two words: "Go to sea!" ”
Song Gu Xi was a little puzzled and asked, "May I ask the emperor, where to go to sea?" ”
"To the north!"
Zhu Qizhen squatted down and stretched out his hand to geek.
"To the north...... The emperor is going to let the slave family go to Korea? ”
"No, keep going north!"
"If you continue north...... Is it the Wa Kingdom and the Ezo Country? ”
Zhu Qizhen shook his head again and said, "It's going north!" ”
Song Gu Xi stared at Yutu tightly, and his face became confused.
Further north is the land of extreme cold, where no one lives at all, and therefore, no one will go.
Zhu Qizhen pointed his finger at the location of Tianjin Wei, and then paddled all the way north, passing through the Korean country, then crossing the strait between the Ezo country and Sakhalin Island, and continuing north until a peninsula protruding from the main road.
The more Song Gu Xi looked at it, the more confused he became, so he asked, "Where is this?" ”
"It's called the Ghost Country!"
"Ghost Country ......"
Song Guxi thought hard, she was born in a famous family, she was well-read since she was a child, and later wandered the rivers and lakes and saw a lot, but she didn't know that there was a ghost country in the far north.
Zhu Qizhen explained: "There is a saying in the Tang Book that the country of Liugui blocks the sea on three sides, and the land on one side, and is 15,000 miles away from Chang'an. During the Zhenguan period, the king translated three times to pay tribute, and the Tang Emperor awarded the cavalry to the captain......"
Song Gu Xi listened and nodded incessantly, gradually becoming curious about this wandering ghost country in the far north.
“…… Everyone is dressed in leather, and the dog hair and linen are clothed for cloth, and the woman is dressed in winter and deerskin, and in summer is made of fish skin, which is the same as the fang...... In short, this is an uncivilized people, still living a life of fishing and hunting with hair and blood, and I am ready for you to take those 5,000 sect members to the country of wandering ghosts and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. ”
Song Gu Xi listened silently and asked, "Is the emperor preparing to exile the slave family and those sect members to the extreme north?" ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Nominally exile, after all, you are all anti-thieves, if you don't pursue it, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the world, who wants to rebel against me, just come on, I won't kill you!" ”
Song Guxi didn't ask anything more, but leaned down and bowed: "The slave family bows to thank the Holy Grace!" ”
These days, she has been waiting for the moment when she walks on the execution ground.
However, the emperor still did not kill the killer after all.
She could hear that although it was nominally exiled, in fact, it was entrusted with another important task to open up the land of the Wandering Ghost Country.
"There is no need to say polite words, if you are truly grateful, complete the task I have entrusted to you."
"Please rest assured that the slave family will definitely not disappoint the emperor!"
"Then go down and prepare, the five military camps have distributed some equipment to you, considering that there is no ammunition supply overseas, you are equipped with cold weapons, but the people over there are still living a life of slash-and-burn farming, even ordinary swords may not have been seen, it should be enough to deal with those people."
"And ......"
Zhu Qizhen seemed to think of something, and hurriedly reminded: "At the beginning, the remnants of the Tatars fled to the north of the Troubled River, and in the north of the Wandering Ghost Country, there may be Tatars, and they are a greater threat than the Wandering Ghost Country. ”
"If you encounter a large Tatar army, take a boat south and go to Sakhalin Island to find the giant deer Hou Jingyuan, where he guards the Mohe River, and the main guard is the Tatars."
Song Gu nodded and said, "Keep in mind the slave family!" ”
Zhu Qizhen looked at her and was silent for a long time before he said, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Song Gu Xi thought for a while and said, "The slave family just has something unclear, the bitter cold land in the extreme north, what is the use of the emperor coming?" ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "The land of the Wandering Ghost Country is vast and sparsely populated, and only a few natives survive, if I don't take those borderless lands, someone else will take them, do you understand?" ”
Song Gu Xi did not say much, but respectfully bowed and saluted.
"Please ask the emperor to give the slave family three years, and the slave family guarantees that within three years, the Wandering Ghost Country will definitely be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
