Chapter 254: The Matter of Suzhou

It's just that when Lin Shuran returned to the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, he found that Han Ying and Mei were waiting for her in the room, and the two told Lin Shuran that the pair of assassins who assassinated Princess Qingyang last night had been rescued by them, and the two of them were in Beiqiao Yaxing at this moment.

"Isn't it the fifth uncle and the red aunt?" Tao Laohan said a few days ago that the two of them were in good health, could it be because Princess Qingyang didn't die and they went to take revenge again?

Han Ying replied: "No, the people who entered the princess's mansion last night to assassinate Cao Su and his wife Yu Qianjiao, who are known as the flower face Tai Sui, are also full of white hair, and the martial arts of the two are also among the best in the rivers and lakes, but there are too many hidden masters in the princess's mansion last night, if it weren't for the subordinates and the charm to save them, they would have been caught by someone at this time."

"Is it safe to stay at North Bridge? Can you ask why these two people want to kill Princess Qingyang? Do they know who you are?" Lin Shuran asked.

Mei told Lin Shuran that he and Hanying were wearing black clothes and covering their faces when they rescued people, and the reason why they were sent to Beiqiao Yaxing was also requested by Cao Su and his wife, because they and the shopkeeper of Beiqiao Yaxing have been friends for many years, and the reason why the two were able to rush to save their husband and wife in time was that the shopkeeper of Beiqiao Yaxing sent them a message, and said that saving them would protect the safety of the fifth uncle and Honggu.

Because the matter was urgent, they didn't have time to ask Lin Shuran for advice, and they encountered some trouble when they rescued people, so they only told Lin Shuran the truth now.

Lin Shuran didn't blame them, Beiqiao Yaxing and the fifth uncle were inextricably linked, she was wondering if it was to protect the safety of the fifth uncle and Honggu, the shopkeeper of Beiqiao Yaxing deliberately let people enter the princess's mansion again to assassinate, and also revealed her true face.

Soon, wanted notices were posted everywhere in the capital, and the wanted portraits were a man and a woman, who were the rumored flower-faced Tai Sui Cao Su and his wife Yu Qianjiao in the rivers and lakes, as for why these two people assassinated Princess Qingyang, the notice did not say clearly, but Lin Shuran soon found that the people from the Criminal Department no longer monitored the fireworks kitchen, and no one would appear from time to time near the General's Mansion, the Xu Family Wine Store and the southern suburbs of the Grange.

What's even more bizarre is that on the third day of the assassination of the princess's mansion again, a piece of paper and a letter of blood appeared on the emperor's dragon case, accusing Princess Qingyang of opening a mine in Suzhou without permission, not only abusing and killing laborers, mutilating innocent people, but also wantonly expropriating strong men into the mine, causing the local people to complain and make a living.

The pleadings also wrote that the heroes of the world are not accustomed to the people of the royal family bullying and mutilating the people for personal gain, if the emperor does not thoroughly investigate the matter of Princess Yang's mine, his own chivalrous warriors will make her pay the price, and he is bound to eradicate this evil woman to uphold justice for the people, eliminate violence and peace.

Emperor Zhao You was very angry after reading the paper and the blood book of all the people, one was that the aunt of Princess Qingyang was becoming more and more lawless, and the other was angry that those people in the rivers and lakes did not take him as the emperor in their eyes, and actually came and went in the palace at will, and even more angry that those who guarded the palace did not find out when and who sent the paper and blood book, and how safe it was for him to live in the palace as an emperor.

So, in the early dynasty, the emperor presented the paper and blood book to all the ministers, and asked them if they knew anything about Suzhou, but the civil and military officials bowed their heads and silenced, and none of them stood up to say anything.

Zhao You's eyes swept the officials in the hall with cold eyes, he didn't believe that no one knew what happened in Suzhou, and he had to find out about this matter.

So, Emperor Zhao You issued a holy decree on the spot, asking Fang Yushi, the son of the Qing prince and Fang Lao Yushi, who had been reinstated, to go to Suzhou as the minister to investigate the matter, and at the same time let the criminal department make every effort to arrest the Huamian Tai Sui Cao Su and his wife, and the emperor suspected that it was they who entered the palace to send the paper and blood letters.

Lin Shuran has been waiting for Xu Junze to come back in the mansion, and some news came out after the dynasty dispersed this morning, and Long Jiawei also went to the princess's mansion, but Princess Qingyang was seriously injured and could not enter the palace, and did not admit that the private mine in Qingzhou was hers, only that someone deliberately framed her and let the emperor call the shots for her.

It is difficult to determine whether it is true or false, the Qing prince and Fang Yushi hurriedly left Beijing to find out the truth after getting the holy decree, and the criminal department also found the Beiqiao Yaxing, but Xiao Chen did not find any traces of Cao Su and his wife in the Yaxing, and at the same time, the criminal department also posted the portraits of the two people everywhere in the Jin Dynasty, and it was bound to find the two.

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Xu Junze will come back later, see you

Lin Shuran waited for him all the time, so he asked out loud.

"Can't sleep!" Lin Shuran took the initiative to give him a wide coat, and then pretended to be curious and asked, "Is the assassination case in the Princess Mansion really related to the matter in Suzhou?" I've heard people say before that although Suzhou is poor, there are many mountains, but I haven't heard of a mine!"

Xu Junze saw that she was curious about this matter, so he replied: "Although there is no official mine in Suzhou, there is a private mine there, which is a copper mine licensed by the imperial court with mining rights, and its original owner is the Ren family.

In the Jin Dynasty, only private individuals could open mining farms with the permission of the imperial court, and generally those less valuable minerals, such as copper ore, and most of the gold, silver and iron mines were controlled by the imperial court, and private individuals were easily not allowed to mine large quantities.

"Ren's?" When Lin Shuran heard Xu Junze say this, he became even more puzzled in his heart, is the owner behind this mine Princess Qingyang now? It is impossible for those Jianghu people to target Princess Qingyang for no reason, could it be that the affairs of the Ren family are also related to Princess Qingyang?

Unexpectedly, Xu Junze then told Lin Shuran a shocking secret: "Ren Yong said that the Ren family has a copper mine in Qingzhou, but a few years ago, when they were digging, experienced craftsmen found minerals with more gold in that mine, and it is very likely that there are gold mines in this copper mine, but there are very few people who know about it, and before the head of the Ren family reports this matter to the imperial court, something happened to the Ren family, and almost all the people who know about this matter died accidentally, and now the owner behind this mine is Princess Qingyang."

Lin Shuran saw that Xu Junze said in a positive tone, and saw the seriousness in his expression, he suddenly understood, looked at him and said, "You already knew that Princess Qingyang was the owner of the Suzhou mine, did she also have a part in the affairs of the Ren family at the beginning?"

Xu Junze didn't say anything about this question, but looking at the determined look in his eyes, Lin Shuran already knew the answer, so could King Ling's death also be related to Princess Qingyang?
