It's night, Prince Feng's Mansion.
"Your Highness, we can't let them go on like this. Officials in several states are complaining, and people's grievances are increasing every day. I am afraid that over time, Fengzhou, which we have operated for so long, will really be destroyed in their hands."
The person who spoke was the governor of Fengzhou, who was walking around the room a little anxiously.
According to the plan, at this time, what the eldest prince did in Fengzhou should have been reported to the capital and caused a huge repercussions. Counting the days, if you hurry up, there should be a reply in such a long time.
However, the reply did not come, and the increasingly unscrupulous censor had an impact on Fengzhou City that could not be ignored.
In the face of the eldest prince's deliberate targeting, if he continues to sit idly by, some irreparable losses will really occur.
Zhao Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.
This time, although the other party's behavior in Fengzhou is also related to his personal grievances with the eldest prince, on the surface, it is a business matter. If he obstructs, he will definitely fall into the shoes of others. Those censors always speak mercilessly ,Can not be ignored.
Neither advancing nor retreating.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Zhao Yi's face, and he murmured: "Brother Li, brother Li, you have given me a problem this time..."
The governor of Fengzhou looked at him and asked doubtfully, "What did your Highness say?"
"It's nothing." Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "Chou Zhou go back first, this king has his own arrangements for this matter."
The middle-aged man nodded and exited the room.
Zhao Yi walked over, and when he was about to close the door, suddenly there was a cracking sound in his ear, followed by a "bang".
He turned his head and saw a dagger inserted straight into the door, straight into the handle.
A look of suspicion appeared on Zhao Yi's face, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and held it by the handle.
Without much effort, he pulled out the dagger easily, which shows that this is an extremely sharp magic weapon.
"who is it?"
Zhao Yi stood at the door, glanced into the courtyard, and said something loudly.
There was no response for a long time, he waved to the guards who were walking towards this side, walked into the room, took out a few pieces of paper stuck on the dagger, and carefully placed the dagger on the table.
I don't know who can sneak into the palace and pass the book with a dagger, but I think the content on it should be quite important.
"Argument silver?"
Just seeing the first sentence written on the paper, his brows frowned.
As time passed, the expression on his face was solemn at first, then doubt, surprise, and finally consternation.
What is written on it is a system called "criminal silver".
As the name suggests, the content of this system is to pay off crimes with money.
Depending on the severity of the crime committed by the officials, certain penalties will be exempted with different amounts of money. Although this method can solve the country's financial problems in a short period of time, in the long run, corruption will inevitably prevail and the country will die. Far.
The strange thing is that on these few sheets of paper, the crimes of Yin Yin were expounded in detail, citing scriptures and classics, and counting Yin Yin's major crimes in detail.
For example, substituting money for a crime will make the officials who pay the crime silver more fearless, and the officials will be more corrupt. With the crime silver, the officials will exploit the people even more, and the country will definitely be in turmoil. If the guilty are not prosecuted, the law will become useless, the law will collapse, and the country will perish.
Of course, what is more important is that it is very clear that the First Prince is about to vigorously promote the system of delinquent silver, which is simply fueling unhealthy tendencies, promoting unhealthy tendencies, and intending to destroy Qi.
The person who wrote this letter was originally a worldly expert who wandered around, and he didn't want to see the state of Qi destroyed by such a person, so he sent a letter to report and expose it, hoping that he could tell the world about it, so that people Everyone in the world looked at the ugly face of the First Prince.
Zhao Yi put down the letter and sat by the table, tapping the table with his right index finger unintentionally.
If this matter is true, and the First Prince really wants to implement this method of subjugation, he will be famous as a teacher, and he can not care about the remarks of those censors and Beijing, and the siege of Fengzhou can be solved.
The question is, who sent this letter
How did he know about this, and how did he enter the palace
In any case, he would not believe the words of the experts who traveled around the world.
"Who the hell is it?" Zhao Yi murmured as he tapped the table with his index finger at a slightly faster speed.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Yi got up, walked to the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I forgot something." After an old voice came, the door latch snapped. Zhao Yi saw a masked old man with gray hair walk in, walked to the table, and put away the dagger.
When he walked out of the door, he glanced at Zhao Yi, and casually stuck another dagger in the door, and said, "It's getting dark, I inserted it wrong just now, sorry."
Zhao Yi watched him walk into the courtyard, and with a leap, he flew up to the roof and completely disappeared into the night.
"There are assassins, there are assassins!" There was a sound of panicked footsteps not far away, and countless figures ran towards this side.
"Your Highness, is Your Highness alright?"
"Where did the assassin go just now?"
"Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"
…
After a while, Zhao Yi waved the crowd away and asked, "Is no one injured?"
One immediately replied: "Return to Your Highness, only a few guards were knocked out, and no one was injured."
Zhao Yi nodded, looked at the dagger on the door, walked over, grabbed the handle, and exerted a little force.
The dagger remained motionless.
Thinking of the old man's action like cutting tofu just now, Zhao Yi asked, "What's going on at the inn tonight?"
One person came up, bowed and said: "Return to Your Highness, the First Prince called everyone late at night, and it seems to be discussing something important."
Zhao Yi nodded, pulled out the dagger forcefully, and walked into the house.
"In the future, we will double the number of people around here."
Someone below bowed: "Of order."
At the same time, several people knelt in the corridor tremblingly at the Fengzhou post station. Zhao Zheng pointed at them and said coldly, "It's useless. I didn't even know someone broke in. This king raised you a bunch of trash for nothing! "
…
…
It was a sunny day again, Li Yi got up and pushed open the door. When he was stretching his body in the yard, a figure flew out from a certain room in the inn next door and landed steadily in the yard.
The sloppy old man looked at him and said, "Both things have been delivered."
"What about?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
The slovenly old man nodded and said, "I have made it clear."
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Li Yi more.
To be able to praise the same thing to the heavens in front of one person and demote it to the ground in front of another person is completely two extremes. I am afraid that only scholars can do this kind of thing.
Li Yi cupped his hands to him and said, "Mr. Xu has worked hard."
The sloppy old man shook his head and asked, "When shall we go back?"
"Soon, just for a while." Li Yi looked at him again after finishing speaking, and asked, "Why, does Mr. Xu have something important to go back in a hurry?"
The slovenly old man touched his arms. During the battle with the nun, a bottle of antidote was accidentally destroyed. It was worth two months. If he went back late, his limbs would be stiff and his orifices would be bleeding...
Counting the days, there should be enough time, the sloppy old man shook his head and said, "I can have something important, don't worry, don't rush..."
