In the Qianqing Palace, the deputy chief manager Wang An helped the concubine Zhen out of the dormitory, Dai Quan shook his head, and then turned around and walked back to the small study of the dormitory.

Today is destined to be an eventful day, just after comforting and sending away Concubine Zhen, Emperor Tianyou sat quietly in front of the imperial eucalyptus, and Dai Quan came over with a bowl of ginseng tea.

Emperor Tianyou waved his hand, "Send someone to Nanzhen Fusi to ask, what's going on in Yangzhou?" ”

Dai Quan: "Yes. ”

Emperor Tianyou: "Slow down, ask Ma Shun to come together!" ”

Dai Quan: "Obey." "Striding away.

After a while, Ma Shun hurriedly walked into the small study, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Why hasn't there been news for so long?"

Ma Shun was stunned for a moment, so he had to reply: "Your Majesty, too much time has passed, and it is difficult to collect evidence, and many speculations cannot be verified." The minister has carefully searched his hometown and all the places he can think of, but he still hasn't found anything. Those old people can't remember what happened back then, so they can only trace it slowly. ”

Emperor Tianyou's face sank, "Is it difficult to check?" Or are you not careful? ”

Ma Shun's forehead was a little sweaty, with the rise of Zhu Houze, Emperor Tianyou wanted to know the truth more and more, especially who betrayed Emperor Wuzong, because it was related to the safety of the 300,000 Royal Forest Army, the emperor suspected that this person was likely to be the old Zhongshun King, after all, it was the defeat of the Shenji Battalion that led to the defeat of the entire army, but there was no evidence, not even a trace was found.

Of course, the noble generals who led the troops back then were also the target of suspicion, but their suspicion was not as big as that of the loyal prince.

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

Thinking of this, he had to bite the bullet and say: "The minister thinks that if he still focuses on the Zhongshun Palace, he may have a harvest." ”

Emperor Tianyou nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What's going on in Yangzhou?" Why did Zhen Yingjia write a letter saying that the salt merchants and salt Ding were making trouble? ”

Ma Shun was stunned for a moment, glanced at Dai Quan, and replied: "When the Internal Affairs Office took over the business of the three Li families, it did not master the gray business left by the three of them, so it attracted the prying eyes of some people. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to take the opportunity to wipe out all salt merchants, smugglers and underground forces, so ..... This matter is an excerpt from Nanzhen Fusi...."

When Emperor Tianyou heard this, he glanced at Dai Quan in surprise, Dai Quan understood, and took out a book of excerpts from the highest stack of recitals on the left side of the imperial eucalyptus, Emperor Tianyou took a look, and sighed slightly in his heart, he has been too busy recently, and he has forgotten the excerpts he read three or five days ago, thinking of this, he can't help but think of Jia Jing's words, maybe he was wrong.

Folded the music together, and said in a deep voice: "With dim sum, the prince is young, and he is inevitably inconsiderate, you can't be careless, and Yangzhou can't be chaotic." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Yangzhou Baihu has been paying attention to all forces, and there is a patrol camp outside Yangzhou, so there is no chaos."

Emperor Tianyou nodded with satisfaction, "It's rare that you are attentive, after handling the affairs of Jiangnan, you must go all out to find out the information of the grassland and provide intelligence to the army, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Ma Shun kowtowed, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Tianyou: "Get up!" ”

Ma Shun: "Yes. ”

He replied and stood up, then took out a fold from his sleeve, and stepped forward with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the secret fold handed over by the Fusi of Beizhen, from the Zhongwu Uncle's Mansion." ”

Emperor Tianyou was stunned for a moment, took the secret fold and unfolded it, and immediately changed his face, and said on the secret fold, the Zhongwu Bo Mansion was robbed last night.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came, Dai Quan looked up, and saw a eunuch in charge of the East Factory hurriedly walking, and Dai Quan hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty, the spies have sent news, last night on the second watch, there were thieves in the Zhongwu Uncle's Mansion, the specific situation is not clear, however, some blood stains can be vaguely found in the cracks of the bricks outside the study, and many people should have been killed."

Dai Quan walked over and whispered.

Emperor Tianyou put down the secret fold in his hand, got up and paced in the hall in contemplation, and after a while, he said: "I want to know what is in the study of Zhongwu Bo, it is worth these people to fight so much!" ”

Shaoqing said again: "Who is so bold?" ”

Dai Quan: "Yes. ”

Ma Shun: "Obey!" ”

........

"Presumptuous!"

Zhao Sheng was furious, picked up the tea bowl on the table and smashed it at him, his hand slightly off, "Peng!" It slammed into the ground and splintered in all directions.

"Who gave you the guts? Who told you to do this? Do you know what the consequences will be for Tatar if the matter is revealed?! ”

Zhao Sheng restrained the monstrous anger in his heart, and stared at the deputy envoy Wu Liji, "You let people assassinate those noble generals, why do you want to target these civil officials, you know, they don't have personal guards, if they miss and hurt them, the angry Ming Dynasty emperor will definitely track them down, this is Shenjing City, there are Jinyi guards and Dongchang spies everywhere, you are causing disaster to the tribe!" ”

Wu Liji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely not hurt those Ming Dynasty officials, everyone just wants to arouse the anger of the Han people against Wara, the warriors have already put their bodies out of the way, and they will splash all the dirty water on the Warat people." ”

After a pause, he said: "It will take half a month for the letters to come and go, and we have to prevent accidents in the middle, we can't wait so long." ”

Zhao Sheng stared at him for a long time, then sighed and said, "You'd better pray that everything goes well, otherwise you will be the sinner of the entire clan!" ”

"Please rest assured, there will be absolutely no accidents, they are all Ming who entered in advance, and no one can tell whether they are Warats or Tatars."

Zhao Sheng nodded silently.

........

The carriage drove unhurriedly on the street, Jia Jue half-leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, someone actually hit the idea on his body, after a night of interrogation, he finally knew the identity of these people, they were the scouts under Zhu Houze, and they were ordered to steal the account books obtained from Song Gan from their own hands, it seems that Zhu Houze hit the idea to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and wanted to control these officials through the account books, causing turmoil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and containing the imperial court.

At this time, he suddenly heard several personal soldiers talking about the release of Tatar prisoners of war, Jia Jue had just come out of the East Palace, and the crown prince Zhu Wucheng asked him to hand over those prisoners of war from the Xishan Coal Mine to the forbidden army, and the war horses compensated by the Tatars would be converted into cash, thirty taels and one horses, I have to say that Zhu Wucheng is really black-hearted, darker than his old man's heart.

The carriage entered Ningrong Street, at this time, several vendors who were doing business on the street saw Jia Jue's convoy coming this way, they quickly exchanged a look, their eyes revealed a resoluteness, they are all Bayan Khan's personal guards, long before the mission entered Beijing, they mixed into Shenjing by various means, their mission is to light a fire in Shenjing at a critical moment, arouse the hatred of the Ming Dynasty against the Warat people, and their task is to assassinate Jia Jue and blame the Warat people for this matter.

At both ends of the street, there are more than a dozen Ruishi battalion soldiers on duty, and from early in the morning, entering and exiting Ningrong Street needs to be checked, because they are vendors, so each person is allowed to bring a kitchen knife.

After a while, the convoy walked to the gate of Rongguo's Mansion, nearly a hundred soldiers guarded the carriage, at this moment, a hawker knocked down the stove that was steaming buns, and the burning coal rolled to the ground, blocking the way of the convoy, the hawker ran to the convoy and begged for mercy again and again: "Little damn it, please let the uncle calm his anger!" ”

The sudden situation distracted the attention of the pro-soldiers, and the eyes of the pro-soldiers, including Jia Fu, all looked at the vendor who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and at the moment when their attention was distracted, someone in the crowd who crowded forward to watch suddenly shouted, "For the sake of Warat, kill Jia Jue!" Three Tatars, dressed as vendors, raised their kitchen knives and lunged at the wagon.

There was a big chaos on Ningrong Street, everyone didn't expect that someone would assassinate Jia Jue at the gate of Jia's house, and they were all so frightened that they stumbled and fled to both sides, and the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion on duty in front of the Sanfu Gate rushed up together, and the guards standing guard at both ends of the street immediately blocked the exit and did not allow anyone to leave.

Jia Jue opened the car window, glanced at it, and said, "Catch it alive!" ”

The soldiers of the Jia family hacked to death the roadblock vendor with knives, surrounded the three traders with kitchen knives, and saw that they couldn't get close to the carriage, and the three shouted: "Jia Jue, when our Khan King defeats the Tatars, he will lead his troops to break through Shenjing and destroy your entire Jia family to avenge the dead clansmen!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and strangled it around his neck....

There was silence on Ningrong Street.
