In the Ming Hall, the figure of a green-clothed official was reflected on the washed shiny stone slab.

I saw him walking quickly with a tray in his hand, skillfully placing the teacup in his hand in front of the guests, and then bowing slightly and turning to leave.

"I don't know what the king of Nanchang thinks about today's events?" Dou Xuande looked at Li Xuan with a gentle gaze, and said with a smile: "To be able to crack such a big case of selling a lover, the king of Nanchang has made great contributions, and the banquet will be ready in a while, and I will invite the prince to drink a few more cups."

"Don't dare, Xiao Wang is just a little bit of a small effort, everything depends on Dou Weng's decisive decision-making, so he has such a harvest. Dou Weng loves the people like a son, and Xiao Wang admires him very much." Li Xuan sincerely bowed his hand to Dou Xuande.

The corners of Dou Xuande's mouth twitched slightly, he loved the people like a son, he was fooled by Li Xuan's love for the people like a son before.

Who would have thought that it was originally just a case of saving and selling a beloved woman, but it was rectified to the point of plundering women for a long time, hiding armor, and even rebelling.

I don't know how much effort it will take to deal with such a big case, not to mention that it also involves the Cao Gang.

If you don't pay attention, you can cause a lot of chaos.

"There, it's also thanks to the king of Nanchang's keen eyesight, but then again, this kind of affairs must have an explanation for both internal and external, upper and lower," Dou Xuande's expression became solemn, and his cold gaze swept over Xu Ji who was sitting on the side, full of murderous intent.

He used to know that the Cao Gang was doing some shady things in private, but because he didn't involve Yangzhou, he didn't care.

But now, these guys actually dared to buy a woman from a good family in Yangzhou City, and it was on such a scale, more than once or twice, and the anger in Dou Xuande's heart had already been wildly ignited.

Not to mention the secret possession of armor, which is suspected of the great crime of rebellion.

"The prince is also a witness to such a thing, and the old man still hopes to hear the prince's thoughts." Dou Xuande turned his head to look at Li Xuan, with a firm attitude.

Although this matter must be explained inside and out, the first person to explain is Li Xuan, the king of the dynasty.

"Dou Weng said this, which really embarrassed the kid, but Dou Weng insisted so much, the kid said it in vain, and Dou Weng listened to it." Li Xuan arched his hand at Dou Xuande, and didn't look at Xu Ji, who was sitting on the opposite side, and said with a worried face: "Dou Weng, in fact, everything that can be seen and found on the surface doesn't need to be worried, what you really need to worry about is those things that can't be seen and can't be found under the water, such as the previous batches of ordnance that flowed out of Yangzhou through the hands of the Cao Gang."

"Nonsense!" Xu Jimeng slapped the crime and stood up directly.

His face was full of resentment, and he stared at Li Xuan and said, "What evidence does the King of Nanchang have to say that my Cao Gang smuggled weapons, although He Chang is guilty of secretly hiding armor, but it is just his private purchase, what does it have to do with my Cao Gang?"

Dou Xuande looked at Xu Ji coldly and shouted: "Xu Youchang, this official knows that you are eager to get rid of your guilt, but this official didn't ask you, which one allowed you to speak, if it weren't for your seventies, the official would have asked someone to drag you down and slap your mouth." Don't sit down yet."

Seeing Xu Ji sit down with an indignant face, Dou Xuande looked at Li Xuan with a kind face: "Lord Wang, please continue."

"Yes!" Li Xuan's face was pale, and he continued: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, the ships of the Caobang Canal have always been empty ships going south to the states, although there are occasional smuggling goods, but they are not important, but the ordnance is different, the ordnance ship should travel on the water, and the strange situation can be seen immediately, and Dou Weng is also asked to immediately issue an official document, so that the Wuyue prefectures immediately strictly inspect the rivers and mountain roads, and prohibit such ordnance from flowing into the hands of Tianyin traitors."

At this time, Li Xuan slowly looked at Xu Ji, staring at him like a sword.

"If it's faster, the batch of ordnance that was shipped out of Yangzhou last night should still be intercepted."

Li Xuan's words made Xu Ji's whole face change suddenly, he jumped up violently, pointed at Li Xuan and scolded: "Huangkou Ruzi, don't want to spew blood, how can there be any weapons last night, they are all made ......up by Erhu."

"That's enough!" Dou Xuande slapped the table heavily, and Xu Ji's voice immediately stopped abruptly.

Dou Xuande looked at Li Xuan with a gloomy face: "Lord Wang, this official believes it

The king of Nanchang County will definitely not open his mouth, Sima, immediately draw up an official document, and the official will immediately seal it, write to the states in the south of the Yangtze River, and carefully inquire about all the Cao Gang ships. In addition, other vessels with excessive draft should also be strictly inspected."

"Whoa!" Sima Changyu immediately walked to the side and began to sit in front of the bookcase and write quickly.

At this time, Dou Xuande looked at Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, this official is really curious, where did the prince get the news, since the prince got the news, why didn't he tell the official earlier, and this king should start an investigation as soon as possible?"

"Dou Weng misunderstood Xiao Wang." Li Xuan hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Actually, Xiao Wang only got a message from an old man last night, and as for how accurate this letter is, Xiao Wang can't tell.

The reason why he didn't tell Dou Weng earlier was because this matter was very important and he had to be cautious, and secondly, because it wouldn't be long before Dou Weng would receive an official notice from the court, which would be more cautious, and he never thought that it would be proven today."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he spoke, he didn't expect to have such a big harvest in the Cao Bang Courtyard today.

"Chaozhong." Dou Xuande keenly grasped the key words in Li Xuan's words.

In the court, Li Xuan's news came from the imperial court.

In this way, it shows that such information must be unmistakable.

The Cao Gang did secretly transport ordnance to the Jiangnan area, and some of them had already been transported to the hands of the Tianyin Sect.

This is not the same as rebellion, this is directly rebellion.

"Dou Weng, this matter ......" Xu Ji couldn't help but stand up, and looked at Dou Xuande with a pleading face: "Dou Weng, there must be something wrong in this matter, even if the Cao Gang is bold, they don't dare to collude with the traitor, and ask Dou Weng to learn from it."

"That Third Master He has now been escorted back to the Governor's Mansion, as long as someone is sent for a little interrogation, I believe that the result will be achieved soon." Li Xuan's words made Dou Xuande's face even more solemn.

He waved his hand slightly towards the side of the middle hall, and the next moment, a gray-clothed figure had already left quickly, and the speed was amazing.

"Although there is no empirical evidence for the time being, this official believes in the king of Nanchang." Dou Xuande's face was cold, and he finally chose to believe Li Xuan, because if his guess was correct, Li Xuan's news would most likely come from the secret agents of the court, and it was even likely to be someone from the Baiqi Division.

Although the news of the Hundred Cavalry Division is not foolproof, it is extremely probable, and the most important thing is that last night, Li Xuan and the envoy of Silla were assassinated at the same time. Z.br>

It is self-evident who the assassin was.

Now that all of this is connected, the true purpose of the Tianyin Sect is clearly visible.

Dou Xuande has governed Yangzhou for many years, and although he does not close his door until night, and does not leave the road behind, he is still bound to rule the people harmoniously and happily, and the people's livelihood is stable.

In this way, no matter how much chaos the Tianyin Sect tried to stir up, it would be difficult to succeed.

All they can do is assassinate some key people and make chaos for a while.

Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, who passed through Yangzhou, was ordered to come to Yangzhou as the Silla envoy.

Since it is difficult for Yangzhou to gain, why do they continue to stir up trouble in Yangzhou.

At first, Dou Xuande thought that they were just trying to make Yangzhou unable to send troops to reinforcements in time when Wuyue was in turmoil, but now it seems that their real purpose is ordnance.

It is an ordnance that I don't know where it came from, but it must be shipped out of Yangzhou.

"Someone came, sent an order, and ordered the guards of all prefectures to immediately strictly inspect the treasury, check the weapons, and report immediately if there is a shortage." As soon as Dou Xuande raised his head, he let out a deep sigh towards the door.

In the blink of an eye, the figure had already galloped away.

"Order, the Governor's Mansion, the Assassin's Mansion, the county and county offices, the soldiers, and the Facao, immediately and comprehensively investigate all the treasury weapons in the territory."

"The herald decrees that the salt transportation divisions, railway transportation divisions, water transportation divisions, water transportation divisions, garden divisions, repair divisions, tuntian divisions, etc., all immediately strictly inspect the weapons and workshops belonging to the division, but if there are any violations of the regulations, immediately arrest a person, etc."

"Herald ......" Dou Xuande was in the blink of an eye, already

A series of orders were issued to carry out the strictest scrutiny of all the processes in front of and behind the scenes of the Tianyin Sect's smuggling of ordnance.

Li Xuan, who was standing on the side, could hear many yamen connections that could not be heard in official documents just by listening to these instructions.

No one paid attention, Xu Ji on the side, his face was already embarrassed and terrible.

Now that the matter has come to an end, there is no longer any room for him to defend himself.
