Chapter 141: Deadly Evidence
In the West Market, it is sometimes easier to solve the problem than in the East Market.
After all, the splashes here are all gathered together, looking at Cheng Bing's head, Qi Ping sighed, "If the rest of you want to live, just follow the rules, I will send someone to take over here, everything is the same as when I was here." ”
The others were already scared, even if they were cruel and flattering people before, they also knew one thing at this time, that is, Boss Qi was back.
One by one, they knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.
Zhang Zhongjian and Zhu Yeqing found at this time that this Qi Ping actually had a kingly aura on his body.
"Mr. Qi Ping, what did your ancestors do in the past?"
"Emperor."
Tonight in Chang'an, in the East Market and in the West Market, no one found that the people who splashed skin and collected protection money have changed, and in the East Market, the merchants who were still trembling now found out one by one that there was no one to harass them tonight, and they were very happy.
Doing business, this kind of thing, the most afraid is this kind of head snake, once entangled, it is very annoying, day to night I have not opened, I have to give money to others, break the wealth and eliminate the disaster.
In the West Market, the merchants found a problem, the splashes that had disappeared before. Extremely disciplined, they appeared, patrolling, and from time to time catching two thieves, and order seemed to be restored.
In the past few days, the head snake in the West Market has let it go, charging during the day, and not looking at it at night, there are too many people who steal, which is very bad.
Yes, they have a rare conscience.
Except for the East Market and the West Market, other places seem to be peaceful, but in fact, they have long been turbulent.
After getting His Majesty's approval in Chang'an, the army of the Tang Dynasty went on a rampage, and 10,000 people were divided into small groups and went to the homes of many officials.
After Ma Zhou came back from Cheng Wenjin, the whole person became relaxed and happy, and there were indeed clues on these people.
is worthy of being a bad person, such a detailed plan before the shot is clearly written.
A booklet, a parchment.
The booklet records the maps of Lantian and Chang'an, the distribution of buildings, and where there are hidden passages.
The sheepskin is the information of the Hou Ye, as well as the silver taels paid by the employer.
It's just that in the area of employer information, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and there was no one to sign it.
But even so, Ma Zhou also locked on another thing.
That was the silk trail on the parchment roll, which would not have been possible if it weren't for the shop that sold the cloth.
It was a dark red thread like metal, and this kind of silk thread was sold in only a few shops in Chang'an.
The price of silk is very expensive, and the average person cannot afford to consume it, and these shops are concentrated in the West Market.
The most important thing is that the cloth business in Xishi is dominated by Qinghe Cui's family.
"It's worthy of Master Hou, it's really a clever calculation, this kind of thing can be calculated, if I have one-tenth or twelve of Lord Hou's wisdom in my life, I will be satisfied."
Ma Zhou took the evidence and walked towards the palace.
Hou Junji sat at Cui Mingan's house for a day.
"What, General Hou doesn't plan to leave today?"
Cui Min didn't panic at all, he didn't know what Hou Junji came here for, but he has always been cautious in doing things, Qinghe Cui is the first surname in the Tang Dynasty, and the Boling Cui family is neck and neck, strong alliance, stronger than the Li family in Longxi, where His Majesty is located today.
He is not afraid of Hou Junji! He didn't think Hou Junji dared to do anything to him.
Cui Mingan thinks that Hou Junji doesn't know anything, and he is cheating.
"Is this at the behest of His Majesty?"
Seeing that Hou Junji didn't pay attention to him, he continued to ask.
Hou Junji smiled coldly, "A big incident happened today, I just want to know if this matter has anything to do with your Cui family." ”
Cui Min sneered, "The Cui clan has a large population, why are you sure that my Cui clan has a problem?" ”
"Besides, if you think there is a problem, you can go and investigate, why is it in my house."
Hou Junji waved his hand, "Hehe, old man Cui, don't blame the old man for not making it clear, you are the biggest official of the Cui family, and you are also the pillar of the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family, who are you looking for." ”
"Besides, your Cui family has produced many talents, and you have had an excellent reputation over the years, tsk, but Your Majesty is in power, you are very dissatisfied one by one, why is this?"
Hou Junji took Li Er's order, one is to find out who is behind the assassination of Li Hui, and the other is to strictly investigate the Qinghe Cui family.
Hou Junji knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and Cui Min's dry face did not change color.
The two didn't say anything the whole time, but it was as if they both knew what was going on.
Among the two Datang people, who were as steady as Mount Tai, looked at each other and smiled.
"Hehe, Hou Junji, what you said is too much."
"I, Cui, am not against Your Majesty, but am proposing a better strategy for Datang."
Cui Mingan is an old man, in the middle of the court, he said that the momentum is sometimes stronger than Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, because his family has long laid a net from the Northern and Southern Dynasties in all dynasties.
If you want to completely cut off the roots of the Cui family, it is impossible.
The two of them just sat like this, you said, I said, Chang'an sleepless nights, the two of them don't sleep, and the people are even more cheerful.
Li Er couldn't sleep either, especially after seeing Cui's shadow from the evidence brought back by Ma Zhou, his face showed a sad face.
It is true that he is a decisive emperor, but the current Guanlong family and Shandong Shi clan are not something he can completely suppress or even destroy.
He is in it, and can only make a balance.
In this era, it seems that the emperor is very big, but the relationship between the emperor and the ministers is like a tug-of-war, and if the ministers form gangs, then the emperor's side will definitely become weaker.
Above the court, Cui's henchmen know more than Li Er, and Li Er, except for the old team he personally brought back, there are actually not many people who can rely on him.
It is not difficult for Li Er, the emperor, to make earth-shattering achievements, but it is extremely difficult to become the first emperor of the ages.
A hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and Li Er is very anxious in his heart.
"Cui's industry, you go and investigate thoroughly, don't let any of them go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, if Li Hui is involved, let them hand over someone!"
"Yes"
Li Er's words were serious, "Ma Zhou, you followed Li Hui at the beginning, you know, that kid doesn't care about many things, but I can't." ”
"Everyone in the world is counting on me to give them a peaceful and prosperous world, and I can't let them down!"
Ma Zhou's eyes flickered, Hou Ye was right, the emperor is sometimes not as easy as he imagined.
Wang Zhuozhuo finally had a full meal, and Li Hui smiled when he looked at Wang Zhuozhuo eating. At first, Wang Zhuozhuo was still decent, very reserved, and ate in small bites, but he couldn't stand being too hungry. Finally, Wang Zhuozhuo came to say, "Anyway, I will come to live in your house in the future", and simply let it go.
The wind and clouds, heroic and domineering, compared to the later generations of big stomach kings, do not give much.
"Full?"
