Kou Ji pondered for a while, and said: "The hole was stabbed by the eight kings, so the people should not be allowed to bear the loss. The eight kings are dead, and the debts owed by the eight kings should be repaid by the court.
I will write to the court later to affirm this matter.
At the same time, the officials will be invited to fill this hole with the wealth stolen from the houses of the Eight Kings, Wang Qinruo, Li Zi and other criminal officials. "
Xue Tian looked sad.
He is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
If the people in Kaifeng Mansion quarrel because of this, he will be punished by the court one or two times, no matter whether he is wrong or not, to appease the people.
Xue Tian pursed his lips and said, "The family wealth of the eight kings, Li Zi, Wang Qinruo, and other criminal officials who have been confiscated has been charged into the national treasury. If you want to take money from the national treasury to help the eight kings fill the holes, I am afraid that the Manchu court is not civil and military. Will agree."
Kou Ji carried his hands on his back and snorted coldly: "Where were they when the Eight Kings rebelled? One by one was either hiding in the mansion as a quail or as a clay sculpture in the Hanging Arch Hall.
Want to jump out when you solve the problem now
Can you leave them alone? "
When Xue Tian heard this, a smile of joy appeared on his face, "Does the Kou Industry Department plan to invite the Taishi to sit down?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "I just think that the Eight Kings rebellion, there are too few criminal officials involved. If someone takes the opportunity to get restless, I don't mind checking it up again and getting involved in another batch."
The corners of Xue Tian's mouth twitched, and there was no joy on his face, only a deep sadness.
But Liu Heng didn't react at all from start to finish.
Kou Ji raised his hand and looked at the table in front of the three of them, and said, "Liu Heng, the one who led the Imperial City Division, secretly surrounded the Jiaozi shop opened by the Eight Kings and blocked all the gates of Jiaozi shop. Anyone coming in and out.
Zhifu Xue, you can rush to the street where Jiaozipu is located.
Taking advantage of the daylight, the people on the streets were returning home, blocking the streets in the name of the Qing suppression and rebellion against the party.
Then we will go to meet Wang Qinruo for a while. "
Liu Heng nodded, without a word, clasped his fists and left the main hall of Kaifeng Mansion.
Xue Tian arched his hand, and then spoke again, leaving the main hall with a sad look, and instructed the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to follow Kou Ji's instructions.
After nightfall.
There was no pedestrian on Longjin Street where the Jiaozi shop opened by the Eight Kings secretly.
Both sides of the street were full of officials from Kaifeng Prefecture and soldiers sent by the Inspection Department to cooperate with Kaifeng Prefecture in handling the case.
Perhaps the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion just settled, and the remaining prestige is still there.
Therefore, after seeing the officials of the Kaifeng Mansion, the officials of the Inspection Department, and the soldiers, the people evaded and hurried home.
When Kou Ji arrived at Longjin Street, Longjin Street had been cleaned up.
Kou Ji and Xue Tian walked together in front of the Jiaozi shop secretly opened by the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan.
The gate of Jiaozipu was closed tightly.
Around Jiaozipu, some figures were shaking.
Kou Ji and Xue Tian paused for a few breaths at the door of Jiaozipu, and Liu Heng walked out of the dark and joined them.
Kou Ji asked, "Nothing happened, right?"
Liu Heng frowned and said, "It's surprisingly quiet, I even suspect that the people inside have ran out."
Kou Ji frowned slightly, "Let someone break the door!"
Xue Tian waved his hand.
Two yamen from Kaifeng Mansion, holding giant axes, went to the shutter door of Jiaozipu and slashed with their axes.
After half a stick of incense.
The shutter door of Jiaozipu was chopped into firewood.
There is still no movement in Jiaozipu.
Kou Ji's brow furrowed even tighter.
The Kaifeng government officials broke the door, and a group of soldiers from the inspection department, Kaifeng government officials, and spies from the Imperial City Department all swarmed up and rushed into the Jiaozipu.
The three Kou Ji quietly stood outside the door and waited.
For a while.
A Kaifeng government official squad quickly ran out of Jiaozipu and went to the three Kou Ji and whispered: "There is only one living person left in the shop, a woman, and the others, all dead.
Did not find Qin Ruo Wang Qinruo. "
Xue Tian took the lead and asked, "Can you find any money?"
Xue Tian's tone was very anxious, and he could see that he paid more attention to the money in Jiaozipu than that of King Qinruo.
The team leader bowed and said: "Only some gold and silver were found, some Jiaozi at Yizijiaozipu, and all other things were burned."
When Xue Tian heard this, his face became pale.
According to the accounts he checked, in the Jiaozi shop opened secretly by the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, there were nearly five million deposits.
The eighth king Zhao Yuanyan spent four million guanxis in order to recruit and sell soldiers, and there are more than one million guanxis left.
Today, the Jiaozi shop opened by the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan secretly does not have the more than one million pennies.
That means.
The more than one million pennies disappeared.
If the court wanted to fill the hole, it would have to fill more than one million more.
If this matter is reported to the court, the Manchurian civil and military will not be able to drown him with spitting stars.
Kou Ji seemed to see Xue Tian's concern and frowned, "Since the more than one million pennies have not been transported out of Bianjing, they are still in Bianjing, and sooner or later they will be dug out. Xue Zhifu need not worry.
I will tell the matter for you in front of the officials. "
Xue Tian hurriedly said, "Thank you Kou Engineering Department."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Kou Ji took the lead in Jiaozipu with a calm face.
Under the leadership of the Kaifeng government officials, he bypassed the business hall of Jiaozipu and went to the backyard.
then.
I saw a huge stone table in the backyard. On the table was a table of sumptuous wines and vegetables. A large group of people in Jiaozipu, who were in charge and dressed as a man, fell to the ground, bleeding from seven holes.
It should have been poisoned to death.
Seated on the stone table.
A woman was sitting there, holding a jug in one hand and a glass in the other, pouring herself.
After seeing Kou Ji and his party appear, he showed a bright smile to Kou Ji.
"Long time no see, Lord Kou still has the same style."
Kou Ji stared at the woman and frowned, "Su Chan'er?!"
Su Chan'er smiled indifferently, and said proudly: "The concubine body is not the top brand of Wanhualou, Su Chan'er, and the concubine body is now Su Runniang, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou."
Kou Ji said with a cold face: "Are you the mysterious female owner of Jiaozipu?"
Su Chan'er smiled and nodded.
Kou Ji asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people in Jiaozipu?"
Su Chan'er put down the flask and wine glass in her hand, pointed at the stewards and guys who were lying on the edge of the table, and laughed in a low voice: "Those who can run are all gone, and those who can't run are all here."
Xue Tian stepped forward and hurriedly asked: "Where is the money in Jiaozipu?"
Su Chan'er smiled indifferently: "The money in Jiaozipu has been converted into Jiaozi of Yizijiaozipu by Wang Libu, and Jiaozi is in his hands."
Kou Ji asked, "Where is Wang Qinruo?"
Su Chan'er thought slightly.
Soon.
Smile brightly.
"At this moment... I'm probably in the palace."
The expressions of Kou Ji, Xue Tian, and Liu Heng all changed.
Kou Ji ran outside quickly, and while running, he shouted to Xue Tian and Liu Heng: "Enter the palace!"
Xue Tian ordered the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to take care of this place.
Followed Kou Ji to the palace.
The same is true for Liu Heng.
Su Chan'er sitting at the stone table suddenly burst into laughter, "It's too late... Hahahahahahahaha..."
The more she laughed, the more mad, the louder and louder she laughed.
Blood rushed out of her mouth.
There was black blood flowing out of the corners of the eyes and ears.
When the black blood from the corners of her eyes dripped under her nose, she fell to the ground and died of anger.
No one cares about her.
The Kou Ji trio just want to grow a pair of wings, fly into the palace quickly, and grab Wang Qinruo.
Just when the three of Kou Ji rushed to the palace.
Wang Qinruo had entered the palace, and was following a female official, along the imperial road, all the way forward.
Wang Qinruo was wearing an eunuch's clothes, which was specially changed to get into the palace.
While leading Wang Qinruo to Princess Li's palace, the female officer whispered to Wang Qinruo: "In order to be able to lead you into the palace, I risked decapitation and helped you avoid the guard at the gate of the palace."
If Wang Qin is mature and sophisticated, how can he not understand the meaning of these words.
He can enter the palace, but he has nothing to do with the female officer.
Relying on a jade card bestowed by Princess Li, she avoided the interrogation.
The female officer was obviously asking for bribes.
Wang Qinruo decisively stuffed a Jiaozi over.
Using the lanterns on the road, the female official saw the amount on the handover, a bright smile appeared on her face, and the steps under her feet were much faster.
The two went back several hundred steps in the palace, and reached the scope of the palace.
The female officer was startled when the figure was shaking in front of her, and she hurriedly lowered her head to remind Wang Qinruo.
"Don't talk for a while... follow me quietly..."
Wang Qinruo agreed, and followed the female officer forward.
After the two approached the shaking figure, they found that it was a group of eunuchs, surrounded by two sedan chairs, and not far behind the eunuchs, there were several guards.
Those guards seemed to be crowded far away from the sedan chair by the eunuchs.
The two sedan chairs didn't know what to do, they bumped into each other.
Wang Qinruo stared at one of the sedan chairs and froze for a while.
"Li Niangniang's sedan chair?"
"In the middle of the night, why did Li Niangniang take a sedan chair in the palace?"
"..."
The female officer also saw Li Taifei's sedan chair, and a beam of joy flashed across her face immediately.
"Since it's the sedan chair of the empress, let's rush over. What you ask for should be sooner rather than later."
The female officer took Wang Qinruo's benefits and naturally thought for Wang Qinruo.
Wang Qinruo nodded.
The two walked quickly to the sedan chair.
When she got close to the sedan chair, the female official frowned.
"Who are you? Why are you holding Niang Niang's sedan chair? Why have I never seen you in Niang Niang Palace."
Seeing this, the eunuchs carrying Li Taifei's sedan chair subconsciously clenched their fists.
A strong eunuch rushed out of Li Taifei's sedan chair, and a hand knife stunned the female official.
"Go!"
After the eunuch chopped down the female officer, he immediately roared.
Those guards who had been following the sedan chair found that something was wrong and wanted to catch up and check.
But was stopped by a group of eunuchs.
Wang Qinruo stared at the scene in front of him blankly, his mind was empty.
After a few breaths, he slowly recovered.
'Someone kidnapped Concubine Li secretly, trying to plot a misconduct? ! '
This thought suddenly penetrated into Wang Qinruo's mind.
Wang Qinruo was overjoyed.
"Opportunity! The credit for saving Princess Li is enough to make up for my fault!"
"Come on! A culprit is holding Concubine Li!"
"Thieves are kidnapping Princess Li!"
"..."
not far away.
Zhao Yuanzuo, who was being moved by Zhao Zhen, looked very ugly when he heard Wang Qinruo's voice.
"Good nephew! Have you learned to play tricks for me?"
Zhao Zhen's face is also very ugly.
Zhao Yuanzuo said angrily: "I listened to Kou Ji's admonition, thinking about killing in the palace, which would be detrimental to you. You are not very young, and you have not been on the throne soon. You have already experienced the usurpation of the throne by your eighth brother, and you will experience other actions. , I'm afraid the throne is unstable.
That's why I proposed to you the conditions for sending Liu E out of the palace.
I also promised you.
As long as Liu E leaves the palace, I will not kill her directly.
But you turned back? "
"Uncle..."
"Don't call me uncle, I don't have your nephew!"
Zhao Zhen is weak and wants to talk to Zhao Yuanzuo.
Zhao Yuanzuo roared angrily.
"Where is it?!"
"Subordinates are here!"
"Kill it!"
"..."
Not waiting for Zhao Zhen to stop.
Zhao Yuanzuo had red eyes, carrying a sword, leading his guard, and chasing Liu E's footsteps.
"Chen Lin! Hurry! Send someone to stop the uncle! Don't let him hurt the aunt!"
Chen Lin agreed and ran after her.
The group of eunuchs guarding Liu E, except for a few with martial arts, the other eunuchs couldn't run fast at all.
Zhao Yuanzuo quickly caught up with them and slashed them all the way.
The blood shed all over the place.
In the end, there were only a few eunuchs with martial arts.
They carried Liu E all the way to escape.
Zhao Yuanzuo and his party are chasing after him.
Finally at the door of a palace.
Stopped Liu E.
After a fight.
Zhao Yuanzuo broke several guards and grabbed Liu E's sedan chair.
Liu E rushed out of the sedan chair, trying to escape.
But he was cut in the leg by a sword.
Zhao Yuanzuo grabbed Liu E by the hair, stuffed Liu E into the sedan chair, and ordered the remaining guards.
"go back!"
Chen Lin took a group of people and arrived late.
"His Royal Highness... Where's the empress?"
Zhao Yuanzuo said coldly: "Don't worry, I didn't kill her with a single sword."
Chen Lin let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yuanzuo asked people to carry the sedan chair and walk to Liu E's bedroom.
Walked halfway.
I ran into Zhao Zhen who rushed over.
Zhao Zhen saw Zhao Yuanzuo and asked in horror, "Uncle, where is my aunt?"
Zhao Yuanzuo pointed his sword at the sedan chair.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet..."
Liu E in the sedan chair heard Zhao Zhen's voice, and immediately wailed: "Emperor, save Aijia..."
Zhao Zhen was relieved to see that Zhao Yuanzuo hadn't killed Liu E. He had a heart to say a few words to Liu E.
But Liu E's life is now in Zhao Yuanzuo's hands, and he must first calm Zhao Yuanzuo's anger.
"Uncle, I am wrong..."
Zhao Yuanzuo coldly interrupted Zhao Zhen's words, "Don't say much... I don't believe anyone now! I want to escort Liu E back to the palace, you have to stop it!"
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and whispered: "Don't dare!"
Zhao Yuanzuo took the guards, carried Liu E, and returned to Liu E's bedroom.
Zhao Yuanzuo asked Liu E's sedan chair to be thrown into Liu E's bedroom.
After Liu E learned that he had arrived in the palace, he hurriedly climbed out of the sedan chair, preparing to hide in the palace.
Zhao Yuanzuo watched Liu E hiding in the bedroom, and leaning on his long sword, he sat on the threshold of Liu E's bedroom again.
Zhao Zhen, who has been following behind Zhao Yuanzuo and staring at Zhao Yuanzuo's movements, sees this.
Finally let go of my heart.
Although Zhao Yuanzuo was irritated by his methods, he did not directly kill Liu E.
Liu E is not in danger for the time being.
He can continue to think of ways to save Liu E.
Zhao Zhen complained to Zhao Yuanzuo, took Chen Lin and his party, and left the door of Liu E's bedroom.
After Zhao Zhen left, Zhao Yuanzuo flashed a sneer on his face, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.
Turned his head and stared at Liu E's bedroom.
Zhao Yuanzuo said quietly: "Really... There are so many nights and dreams..."
