According to the information that Li Yunxing heard from Jiang He.

At first, the group of thieves robbed the government, seized the weapons of the government, and united a large number of suffering people.

In the end, he grabbed the mountain as the king, and became the emperor of the soil himself, specializing in intercepting various land convoys to Jingzhou.

Su Zhaoyang's batch of materials was too eye-catching, and Liu Zhongqing never told Su Zhaoyang that there were anti-thieves in Jingzhou, so Su Zhaoyang was kept in the dark from beginning to end.

When he died, he didn't know that it was actually Liu Zhongqing who killed him miserably.

It's just that how can an old fox like Liu Zhongqing reflect on it?

In his opinion, in the end, it was not Su Zhaoyang's incompetence.

But from what Chen Jinyan said, they not only carried official swords, but also found someone to cast official swords, which is really strange.

Not to mention whether there are blacksmiths who dare to take this business, even if they do, there are no materials.

Every year, the amount of ore granted to these blacksmiths was limited in order to avoid such mobs.

Since they have found the old blacksmith, it means that ......

"That's right, Your Highness the Prince, it seems that you have already guessed what the grass people are going to say next." Chen Jin arched his hand and said solemnly.

"You're trying to say that someone is selling iron ore privately?" Li Yunxing couldn't believe this inference.

"The grass people dare to say something, if it is someone else's private sale of iron ore, it must be corruption and perversion of the law, and the crime will be added to the first degree!" Chen Jin said categorically, "But if the backing behind is big enough, then it's another matter." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Yunxing frowned and asked.

"My father, Chen Guang, investigated the coal mine case back then, and found a lot of clues about the important ministers of the DPRK and China."

Chen Jinyan paused and continued: "For example, the predecessor Shang Fang ordered Zhang Tingyu to collude with Qi Ming of the Great Honglu Temple. ”

Shang Fangling, subordinate to the Shaofu, is in charge of the manufacture of court utensils and imperial weapons.

However, Zhang Tingyu was previously found out by Emperor Wu, and there were a large number of gold, silver and jade artifacts of unknown origin in his home, and he had already been dismissed and executed.

It was normal for him to have some contact with iron ore.

It's just why is this incident related to Qi Ming?

Is there anything between the two?

Li Yunxing was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his eyes and said to Chen Jinyan: "Could it be that Qi Ming of Honglu Temple has any improper transactions with foreign countries?" ”

Honglu Temple is in charge of the diplomacy of the Fanbang, and the annual tribute and foreign monarchs or envoys are regarded as the emperor's guests, so most of the affairs related to this are in charge of the Great Honglu.

But when Chen Guang died, Qi Ming was just a Zhililang in Honglu Temple, the most ordinary and lowest-level position, how could he have such power?

"Prince, what the grass people say next may shake the society and bring great changes to the entire court."

"This matter has involved a lot of cases, and it also involves people in the royal family, His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't want to change the imperial court, if you really have the determination to pay hard for the Wu Dynasty, the grass people can also go back to their homes and never step into the capital for half a step."

Chen Jinyan knelt on the ground, but his back was straight.

His father did not die suddenly, but someone deliberately murdered him.

After years of investigation, the people involved in the case did not leave the country incognito a few years after the incident, and were never traced again. Or, like Zhang Tingyu, was executed for violating the criminal law.

His only concern now is whether the prince will choose to continue the investigation if he knows these inside stories?

Emperor Wu was wise and martial, how could he not know what was at stake, but in the end he chose to let it go.

It is understandable that at the time of Emperor Wu, the situation in the Wu Dynasty was turbulent, and the Xiongnu were raging like wildfire, and there was no time to take care of anything else, let alone eliminate corrupt officials and traitors.

So Chen Guang died unjustly, so that Chen Jinyan didn't let go for so many years.

The saddest thing is that when he finds himself powerless the more he touches the truth, he begins to exile himself.

If it weren't for the side of the prince in Gangneung City, maybe he would really be willing to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.

Later, I learned that the prince strictly investigated the corruption in Jingzhou and ordered people to repair the embankment of Jiangcheng, which was bound to protect the peace and contentment of all the people in Jingzhou.

A famous saying "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy" was widely circulated in the community, and Chen Jinyan felt that he seemed to see hope again.

So he finally found the palace and found the crown prince, hoping to get a positive answer.

"Could it be that you came to the capital to test the palace?" Li Yunxing squinted at him, and his tone was cold.

Although Chen Jinyan didn't say it explicitly, Li Yunxing had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

"The grass people don't dare, but if they are unsure, how can the grass people be willing to risk bullying the king and killing their heads to confess to the prince?" Chen Jin said eagerly, "The grass people know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the people, but this matter is by no means child's play, please think twice!" ”

"I don't understand this palace, where did you get the courage to persuade this palace?" Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Since ancient times, how many monarchs and ministers have collapsed in civil strife, did you Chen Jinyan forget it because he was full of grief for the loss of his father?"

When Chen Jinyan heard this, his face instantly turned white.

Yes, the prince is a king, and he is a minister.

"Chen Jinyan, do you want to emulate Lu Yi back then?" Li Yunxing laughed mockingly.

At that time, there was a Chinese scholar named Lu Yi in the court, and his power was to be in charge of various books. In order to demonstrate his authority, he repeatedly used documents to fabricate charges, slander the ministers of the DPRK and China, and tried every means to eliminate different parties.

The people of the DPRK were panicked, but even such rights did not make him feel satisfied, but made Lu Yi's desire swell to the peak.

At a certain banquet, he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and even openly proposed to abolish the post of prime minister.

The first emperor was furious and sent Qin to the house of Zhongshu Shilang to get people, but he caught a bunch of incriminating evidence, proving that this Lu Yi had accepted bribes many times, and even privately set up a small warehouse and privately raised the army.

The first emperor was furious, deposed Lu Yi from his official position, demoted him to a commoner, confiscated all his property, and gave him death.

The incident caused a sensation and caused an uproar.

What is the difference between Chen Jin's strict words and what Lu Yi did?

Not only could he not produce tangible evidence, but he also didn't know the whole picture, and he went to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask for the case to be overturned with some things that he didn't know whether they were true or false.

What is this not self-defeating?

"I didn't ......," Chen Jin gritted his teeth.

He didn't expect the prince to expose him with a sharp spot and put him in a dilemma.

His cheeks flushed, his body trembled slightly, and the corners of his forehead were covered with sweat.

"You don't have anything? Didn't you come to tell Hongu that you know a lot of things and want to threaten Hongu to find out? Li Yunxing stared at him coldly.
