Now everyone in the world knows that Yizijiaozipu is rich, but there has been nothing looted in Yizijiaozipu. Why
It is because the soldiers guarding Yizijiaozipu are truly powerful soldiers.
Like Kaifeng Mansion, Jiangning Mansion and other important pavements with a lot of gold, there are as many as a thousand guards and horses, relying on the dark fort in Jiaozipu, not three or five thousand elite soldiers, it is impossible to break through.
Swallowing Bajia Yizijiaozipu in one breath, which is not what ordinary bandits and bandits who occupy the mountain as the king can do.
In the Song Dynasty, only the court and various martial arts had this strength.
The imperial court is Zhao Zhen's court, and the word Jiaozipu is also Zhao Zhen's word Jiaozipu.
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to use his own power to destroy his own industry.
Then Wu Xun must have done this.
Wang Zeng almost put the word "wuxun" on the surface. Anyone with a little bit of wisdom can understand the meaning of Wang Zeng's words.
Zhao Zhen said with an angry look: "I naturally know who is behind this who is doing the evil. They are demonstrating to me. They want to prevent me from investigating them. They have no King Fa in their eyes, and no me."
The three of Lu Yijian frowned when they heard the words.
The actions of the Wuxuns were not only rough, but also excessive.
Threatening the court with force was not only unbearable for Zhao Zhen, but also for them.
Zhao Zhen stood up and said indignantly: "When will I not even be able to investigate corruption? I checked it a little bit, and they threatened me with troops and horses? If I check it carefully, are they going to rebel
Co-authoring them should be corrupt, shouldn't we investigate corruption
Da Song is their country or my country? "
"Officials calm down!"
The three of Lu Yijian bowed to admonish.
Zhao Zhen stared and said: "I calm down my anger? How can I calm down? They lie on Da Song's body and drink blood. I still can't control them. Once I control them, I will use troops?"
The three of Lu Yijian glanced at each other.
Wang Zeng stepped forward and said, "The imperial relatives made mistakes before, and it was a crime convicted by the minister. Now that the looting of Yizijiaozipu involves Wuxun, the official should leave the matter to the minister. .
If the ministers dare to verify the crimes of the emperor's relatives, they are not afraid of threats by soldiers.
The minister must help the official family to investigate the matter and find out. "
After Zhao Zhen heard what Wang Zeng said, the anger on his face dissipated a lot. "Since Wang Aiqing has taken the initiative to ask for it, let Wang Aiqing take care of the matter. You must find out what happened to me, and even a thief can't let it go. .
After investigating the punishment, I will capture all of them, and I will behead them in front of all the people in the world. "
"Hey..."
Wang Zeng bowed and responded to the matter.
After Wang Zeng returned to his place, Kou Ji took a step forward and said: "The eight Yizijiaozi shops in Jiangning Mansion and other places were looted. The money deposited by the people in Yizijiaozipu has probably been destroyed. All plundered.
When the people know this, they will definitely be flustered.
If it is not dealt with in time, it may lead to civil upheavals. "
Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words and took a deep breath, "I was so confused that I almost went to the people."
Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on Lu Yijian subconsciously, and Lu Yijian's heart trembled.
Zhao Zhen stared at Lu Yijian and said solemnly: "Eight Jiazi Jiaozipu has been looted, and if the people cannot be comforted, there will be chaos. Please trouble Lv Aiqing to visit Jiangning Mansion to comfort the people for me.
When the people see you here, they will inevitably ask you to be fair, and it is inevitable that they will have to spend some money to deal with the people.
In a moment, I will write a handwritten letter and send it to several Yizijiaozi shops near Jiangning Mansion and other places, and order them to send some money to you.
You give it to the people according to the facts. "
Lu Yijian opened his mouth, but did not speak yet.
Zhao Zhen also said: "The deposits of eight Yizi Jiaozi shops in Jiangning Mansion and other places are as many as tens of millions. Now they have been looted by thieves. If they can't handle it well, I am afraid that there will be a big trouble. Therefore, Lv Aiqing must help me. Deal with this matter."
A major event of as many as tens of millions of dollars was enough to stuff all Lu Yijian's words into his stomach.
Lu Yijian sighed in her heart and bowed and said, "Hey..."
Zhao Zhen urged: "It shouldn't be too late. The two Aiqings set off to deal with the matter as soon as possible."
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng bowed their hands and withdrew from Shishitang.
The two were speechless all the way, until they got outside the palace before opening the chatterbox.
Lu Yijian stared at Wang Zeng and said, "Do you really believe that thousands of dollars have been robbed?"
Wang Zeng curled his lips and said, "If there were tens of thousands of dollars robbed, Kou Ji would have led the two armies of Pengri and Tianwu to leave Beijing, so why would I need a trip with the two of me."
Lu Yijian's face turned dark and said, "So... the official is just looking at the three of us as an eye-catcher, so that we should be distracted by excuse?"
Wang Zeng sighed and said, "I am afraid that the officials are really ready to let us come out to clean up the mess, so they opened us in advance to prepare for the future."
Lu Yi frowned briefly and said, "According to you, the official family and Kou Ji are going to have a big fight?"
Wang Zeng opened his hands and said, "Isn't it already started? Isn't it big enough for thousands of dollars to be robbed?"
Lu Yijian snorted coldly: "The officials are not in a hurry when the tens of thousands of coins are robbed. They made it clear that the tens of thousands of coins have not been lost. The Wuxuns are really stupid, and they can't plan even small things.
Now not only did not threaten the official family, but on the contrary, he fell a big handle on the official family.
The officials were meant to deal with them, but now they have caught their handles, and they have not hesitated to pinch them to death. "
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "It's not that the Wuxuns are stupid, but that the officials are well informed..."
Wang Zeng looked back into the deep palace and said in a low voice, "We should be careful when we speak..."
Lu Yijian raised her brows again and again, her eyes widened little by little, and she said solemnly, "You mean... Wu Desi?"
Wang Zeng nodded with a heavy face.
"Before you left Beijing, the official family also went to the northwest. I was in the capital to supervise the country. I have clearly felt Wu Desi's ability. Some things happened in the capital, I haven't heard the wind. It is far in the northwest. The official family already knew the news and sent someone to send me a document for me to deal with."
"Hiss..."
Lu Yijian took a breath.
What Wang Zeng said was just a simple thing, but in his eyes, it was not simple at all.
What happened under Wang Zeng's eyelids, Zhao Zhen got the news before Wang Zeng received the news. This alone is enough to show that the city of Bianjing is full of Zhao Zhen's eyes and ears.
Bianjing City has no secrets to Zhao Zhen.
Who would dare to do some shameful deeds in Bianjing in the future
Those officials who are greedy for small money are not all caught in their pigtails by Zhao Zhen
These important officials secretly said some shameful things, but not all of them came to Zhao Zhen's ears
After Zhao Zhen knew all their secrets, how could they still pose in front of Zhao Zhen
Some secretly male thieves and female prostitutes, who seem to be upright and loyal, are not all exposed in front of Zhao Zhen
By then, when those people with different appearances impeach Zhao Zhen in the court, did Zhao Zhen treat them as monkeys
Wang Zeng looked at Lu Yi stiffly on the spot, his face turned a little ugly, and asked in a low voice, "Have you done anything shameful, afraid of being discovered by the officials?"
When Lu Yijian heard this, she wanted to scold her, but in the end she didn't say anything, but gave Wang Zeng a vicious look.
"What shameful things can I do?"
Wang Zeng sneered: "Then what are you afraid of?"
Lu Yijian said with a serious face: "Am I afraid?"
"Ha ha… "
Wang Zeng laughed and said to Lu Yijian: "You are not afraid, you know in your heart that I am not afraid anyway, because I have never done shameful things."
Lu Yijian sneered and said, "Have you never seen your disciples pass away and you haven't sought officials for them?"
The smile on Wang Zeng's face disappeared suddenly.
But those who can step into the ranks of important ministers, there are not many people who have passed away.
Kou Ji is an unlearned and skillful person, and many of his disciples have passed away.
Wang Zeng was a person who had studied poetry and books, and he was more of an imperial examination chief. Naturally, there would be more old students.
Some of the people he has seen are dead, he will naturally lead one or two.
Wang Zeng hesitated and said: "There are so many people who have passed the deceased door, and it is impossible for officials to take this matter as a handle, right?"
Lu Yijian curled his lips and said, "Naturally not now, but I won't be able to say it in the future."
Now it is only a trivial matter to support the door's death, Zhao Zhen won't care.
But no one can say whether Zhao Zhen will treat this matter as a major event in the future.
No one can say whether Zhao Zhen will turn over the old accounts in the future.
Zhao Zhen is now looking through the old accounts of the Wuxuns, which is a good example.
Wang Zeng took a deep breath and said, "In the future, we will still rarely see the old schoolmates."
Lu Yijian nodded solemnly.
Wang Zeng continued: "Find an opportunity to admonish some officials."
Lu Yijian knew what Wang had to admonish Zhao Zhen.
Manchu civil and military can stare, but can not stare too tightly.
Staring too closely is not a good thing.
Once it reaches the point where everyone is in danger, it will have a huge impact on the Song Dynasty.
No one likes to expose everything about themselves to others.
nobody.
People need to have a little privacy of their own, and they also need to have a little secret of their own.
After Lv Yijian and Wang Zeng sighed, they went back to their residences respectively.
Royal palace.
Inside Shishi Hall.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji sat opposite each other.
There was no anger on their faces.
Zhao Zhen even had a smile on his face, "I want to know now what the faces of the Wuxuns are."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "The officials are a little bit nasty..."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "They started to rob Yizijiaozi shop with a lot of effort. In the end, they only robbed a few coins and burned a few shops. It is not painful to me.
Not only did they not hurt me, but they showed a handle and were caught by me.
I'm afraid they are in a panic now, right? "
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said: "The minister feels that they should be investigating the ghosts at this moment. The officials should withdraw their people as soon as possible to prevent them from being killed or injured."
Zhao Zhen stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Four brothers don't have to worry. My people have been withdrawn long ago. Even if they find out the inner ghost, they won't be able to catch anyone."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "That's good..."
Zhao Zhen continued to laugh and said, "Speaking of which, the people in the hands of Shi and Pan are a bit weak. If I hadn't told you earlier, when someone looted the Yizijiaozipu, the guards were not allowed to fight to death. I’m afraid that the people of Panji’s family won’t be able to get the word Jiaozipu of Bajia.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "The family of Shi and Pan are hiding in the north, not in the south, so looting the Yizijiaozi shop in Jiangning Mansion and other places is naturally a bit difficult.
But the officials can't let them down because of this. "
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and said, "I know that they have those people in their hands, and I will not underestimate them."
Kou Ji said: "Since they have already started, then we don't need to keep hands."
Zhao Zhen pondered: "Wait until the three of Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, and Lu Yijian leave Beijing. If they don't leave, they will have to chat in my ears, I am annoyed."
Kou Ji was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Zhao Zhen seemed to think of something, and smiled and said to Kou Ji: "By the way, there is something I want to tell my fourth brother that Zhang Meiren is pregnant."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a while, then smiled: "That's great news."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I also think it's good news. I decided to promote Zhang Meiren to be a noble concubine, what do my fourth brother think?"
Kou Ji pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Nothing..."
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face was slightly stiff.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Have the officials forgotten the tragedy of the late Zhang Guifei? The death of Zhang Guifei, one body and two lives, has not been investigated yet. Now that the officials have promoted Zhang Meiren as the noble concubine, the minister is afraid Zhang Meiren followed in the footsteps of Concubine Zhang."
Zhao Zhen clenched his fists subconsciously, his face was a bit sullen, but he didn't speak.
Kou Ji continued: "The death of Concubine Zhang is not necessarily without being favored. Concubine Zhang was only a beauty at first, but after being pregnant with the emperor's heir, the officials immediately promoted Concubine Zhang to concubine, and she immediately passed several levels. , Some people in the harem will inevitably be jealous and will naturally be disadvantageous to Concubine Zhang.
The official family clearly knows how the daughter of the Guo family, who had been rectified by the officials, died. "
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said with red eyes: "I hold the world in my hand, can't even protect women and children?"
Kou Ji sighed and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I want to let the people from Wu Desi enter the palace!"
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Once the Wu Desi people enter the palace, the official family will have no secrets."
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I don't care!"
Kou Ji frowned and said: "Once the people of Wu Desi enter the palace and are too deeply involved in the palace, they will probably take advantage of the imposing power in the palace. If they are in trouble, it may be difficult to clean up."
Kou Ji didn't want to talk about Wu Desi in front of Zhao Zhen.
But if Zhao Zhen intends to get Wu Desi's people into the palace, Kou Ji has to dissuade one or two.
The people of Wu Desi now only have supervisory powers, not law enforcement powers.
Enforcement power is now in the Imperial City Division.
Most of the staff of the Imperial City Division were transferred to Wu Desi, which is now useless.
Once Wu Desi entered the palace and found some scandals in the palace, Zhao Zhen was impatient and granted law enforcement powers.
That Wu Desi, it is very likely that he will become the first evil of Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "But how do people who do not use Wu Desi know who is behind the murder of the emperor's heir?"
Kou Ji solemnly said: "The people of Wu Desi can use them, but they can only be the eyes and ears of the officials, not the hands, feet and mouths of the officials."
Zhao Zhen frowned.
Kou Ji continued: "They are doing things that can't be on the table, and they are destined to not be on the table. If the officials put them on the table, they will be in trouble sooner or later.
It should be noted that they directly obey you.
And you can give them a lot of power.
The powers of all officials in the world are granted by you, including Ping Zhang Shi, Secret Envoys, Political Affairs, Tong Zhi Secret Affairs, Six Shangshu, etc., under Tongzhong Shumen.
You can ask them to find out any news for you.
You can also ask them to help you catch anyone.
If they have the power to arrest anyone, all officials in the world will inevitably endanger themselves.
If they are good, they will naturally benefit the court.
But if they do evil, no one can do anything about them. "
Zhao Zhen's brow furrowed into a word "Chuan", "I can't do anything with them?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "All your eyes and ears tell you that the Yellow River is straight, but an official tells you that the Yellow River is curved. Who would you believe?"
Kou Ji's metaphor is a bit ridiculous, but Zhao Zhen can't laugh at all, because he understands the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Zhao Zhen's face was a little ugly and said, "I will believe... my own eyes and ears..."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Once they sit big, they will naturally not harm the officials, but they can deceive the officials."
Zhao Zhen's breathing was a little heavy, and he stared at Kou Ji and said, "I just thought Wu Desi was a little useful..."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "The musket is also easy to use, but if you don't clean it often, it will hurt yourself."
Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time.
"I will temporarily dispatch Wu Desi's people into the palace to secretly protect Zhang Meiren. When things are over, I will let them out of the palace. I will restrain Wu Desi.
In the future, Wu Desi will only help me listen to the news, and the others cannot intervene.
All corresponding problems must be handed over to all levels of government for disposal. "
Kou Ji let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Zhen's words.
After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed the matter of Wu Desi, Zhao Zhen said to Kou Ji: "The problem of Wu Xun requires the fourth brother to watch. In a few days, my people will send the captured culprits into Beijing. In the future, the fourth brother will be able to arrest people."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Detaining people naturally requires evidence.
Just relying on evidence of corruption in previous years to arrest people from Shi, Pan, etc., the deterrence is not enough, and it is difficult to catch them all at once.
After all, several ancestors are all founding heroes.
Some old accounts from previous years can't take them down.
If they could be wiped out with only the old accounts from previous years, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen would not allow them to rob Yizijiaozipu.
They have enough people to help them with their crimes, and they also have excuses to push the matter to their subordinates.
The robbing of Yizijiaozipu involved so many manpower, so much trouble, and so much money.
They can't escape.
Kou Ji left the imperial palace after fulfilling the errand ordered by Zhao Zhen.
After returning to the mansion, he did nothing, just having fun with his wife and children.
Kou Ji looked like a okay person.
Shi, Pan and several other families fry the pot.
Shifu Bieyuan.
Shi Yuansun and Pan Su stared at a middle-aged man standing in front of them.
Pan Su's voice trembled slightly: "Tell what you just said, and say a little more..."
The middle-aged man said with a heavy face: "In response to Master Pan, the little people looted and burned the eight Yizijiaozi shops near Jiangning Mansion, and damaged nearly three hundred brothers, looting a total of 115 thousand. A thousand eight hundred and thirty-two coins!"
When Zhao Zhen told Kou Ji that the looted money in Yizijiaozipu was a few copper coins, he was just a metaphor, not to say that Yizijiaozipu was actually robbed of a few copper coins.
Although Zhao Zhen secretly sent someone to transfer the money from Yizijiaozipu beforehand, he still left some to deal with daily business dealings.
Jiangning Mansion is a thousand miles away from Kaifeng Mansion.
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to accurately calculate the time for Shi Yuansun, Pan Su and others.
You can't close the door and stop business, so you naturally need to save some money.
After Pan Su heard what the middle-aged man said, almost none of them staggered and sat on the ground. He stared at the middle-aged man and asked sternly: "Is it clear?"
The middle-aged man sternly said: "I counted more than a dozen times..."
Pan Su asked again, "Can someone fill their pockets?"
Although Pan Su knew the result in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask a clear question.
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The little people's wealth and lives are held in the hands of a few nobles. How dare the little people fill their pockets."
Pan Su's face was pale, he staggered two steps, and fell onto the stone bench.
Shi Yuansun's faces were also very ugly.
"We have clearly investigated beforehand that the deposits in the eight Yizijiaozi shops amounted to tens of millions. Why? Why is there only 110,000 guanans left?"
Shi Yuansun shouted angrily.
Pan Su smiled sorrowfully: "Why, there must be a traitor among us who told him our every move. From beginning to end, we were all led by his nose."
"traitor?!"
Shi Yuan Sun Hong stared at everyone and said, "Who?! Who betrayed us? I'm going to kill him alive!"
Pan Su closed his eyes in pain and said, "It's not just a few of us, but people from our respective residences. Think about it, everyone, have the maids and servants in the residence left the residence recently.
The day before yesterday, one of my accountants in Pan's Mansion returned home to help his mother to keep her filial piety. "
As soon as Pan Su said this, everyone's expressions changed.
Because there are people in their mansion, they have left the mansion for different reasons in recent days.
Pan Su took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and stared at the middle-aged man and said, "Have any of you been arrested? Are there any insiders among them?"
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "I am about to report this to Gongzi Pan. We have more than a dozen brothers arrested and three of them know all the details of this trip."
Pan Su squeezed his fists, no more hysterical roars, no tremors in shock.
Because before he asked, he already knew the answer.
Since Zhao Zhen knew their methods from beginning to end, it was naturally impossible to miss this opportunity to seize their handle. He would definitely order people to grab a few tongues and go back.
"Now... what shall we do?"
Someone was asking questions in a panic.
Pan Su stretched out two fingers and said: "Two roads..."
