"how do you know?"
Yang Ying told him about his previous "copying" of the fireworks and firecrackers workshop, and Yang Guan's face was filled with distress.
But now that the matter was over, Yang Guan could not say anything more. He could only say that he would collect all the big bamboos first.
"correct!"
Yang Guan was about to leave when he seemed to remember something: "Our Yang family has a caravan. There should be many big families in Qianjing who have caravans. They must not be willing to donate their caravan guards to the battlefield."
"That's right! I forgot about such a power."
Yang Ying immediately said: "Father, go home immediately and send a few people who are familiar with major merchants in Beijing to help me."
Yang Guan agreed and left immediately, looking back at his son reluctantly as he left: This son is really different. Is this a blessing or a curse?
Later, Yang Ying called Cui Yuanrang and Shi Xiao: "You take the imperial edict and Gao Bu to other lords' mansions to continue recruiting. His Highness King Qi and I will lead another team to find the merchants and Cui Shilang. Immediately ask someone to post a notice offering a large reward for the strange person and stranger."
Qianjing is a bustling metropolis. There are many trading houses and businesses. Yang Ying has never studied the background of those trading houses and the power behind them before. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he naturally thinks of several larger businesses.
Yang Ying suddenly felt a chill down his back: Li Chengba's power was so powerful. In addition to being given the official position of Prince Kaifu in the imperial court, he also had many advisers, all of which required money.
In addition to Li Chengba's own salary, his fiefdom revenue and land must also be combined with merchants.
I just don’t know which merchant has joined forces with Li Chengba. If I know, of course I will be the first to attack them.
"correct!"
Yang Ying suddenly remembered that when they attacked Prince Qin's Mansion before, in addition to Princess Qin and Prince Qin's wives and children, they also captured a group of counselors from Prince Qin's Mansion!
Although Li Chengba’s chief adviser Wei Liuhou is not among them, others must know which merchant has joined forces with Li Chengba!
In addition, there should be Li Chengba’s secret.
Yang Ying laughed at herself unknowingly: She had forgotten such an important thing, but where are they now?
Yang Ying immediately led the team to the Prince of Qin's Mansion: the situation was urgent at that time, and they only left a group of people to guard them in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. I don't know what the situation is now.
Li Chenglin asked curiously: "Which family should we recruit next?"
"Prince Qin's Mansion!"
"Prince Qin's Mansion? Isn't there no one there anymore?"
As soon as Yang Ying explained, Li Chenglin's face was full of excitement: "Are you going to catch those nerds in Prince Qin's palace and those bastards who are sour all day long? Okay, okay! Those people are all known to the public all day long, and they will be famous throughout the ages. It’s an eternal hatred that will be passed down through the ages.”
After a while, I arrived outside the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The door was closed tightly, and there were two soldiers standing guard. They were the guards of the East Palace.
"Where are the counselors in Prince Qin's Mansion!"
Yang Ying jumped off his horse and asked. The soldiers recognized Yang Ying and immediately replied: "They are all locked up in the mansion!"
"Has anyone been here these days?"
"No!"
Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief: Li Chengba rebelled, and his government officials and advisers were all accomplices, and they all needed to be punished. Let the quick-tempered people deal with them, and maybe kill them directly.
It was also Li Chengba who personally led Wei Liuhou, Qin Princess and a group of people to escape in full view of the public. Then the Qin King wanted to attack the city and Joan of Arc was assassinated, so that Qianjing, the most popular palace on weekdays, was actually forgotten by people.
Yang Ying and Li Chenglin rushed into Prince Qin's Mansion. The soldiers in the East Palace inside were staggering around one by one. They were not very energetic, but seemed to have not slept for several days.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Ying was also surprised. These soldiers were ordered to guard here under his orders. He had forgotten this place. These soldiers should be just standing guard, so they wouldn't be tired anyway!
When the soldiers saw Yang Ying, they immediately stood up straight and shouted: "Prince-in-law!"
"Where is your captain?"
"inside!"
Yang Ying had a premonition of something and rushed in. Soon, she saw a man with an exposed chest in the hall of the palace, hugging two women in loose clothes. However, he could still tell by looking at the clothes they were wearing. The maid of Prince Qin's palace.
There were delicacies and wine on the table in front of a man and two women, and a man who looked like a scribe was pouring wine next to them.
"Who the hell is trespassing?"
The man cursed directly, looked up and saw Yang Ying and Li Chenglin, and jumped up in fright.
"Prince Consort, Your Highness Prince Qi, why are you here?"
Yang Ying, with a face like a frosted eggplant, shouted at the man who had thrown away his weapons and armor, and asked: "Who allowed you to drink here, who allowed you to go whore here?"
"Prince-in-law, even if I'm hungry and looking for something to eat, the two of them won't care."
"Let me ask you, what are you doing here?"
"I'm eating and drinking. Prince Consort, Your Highness Prince Qi, why don't you also eat and drink together?"
"Let me ask you, what did I ask you to do in Prince Qin's Mansion?"
"The consort asked me to watch these prisoners in Prince Qin's Mansion here!"
"You have a military position, and now you have military affairs. When you are in military affairs, are you allowed to drink? Please note."
The squad leader was confused: the soldiers in the East Palace had never said that they were not allowed to drink. There was indeed such a regulation when performing military duties, but it was generally not strictly enforced, so they thought it didn't matter.
"Prince-in-law, I realize that I have made a mistake. Please punish me, Prince-in-law."
"You are wrong. Not only did you violate the military order today, you also asked female prisoners to drink with you. Needless to say, you must have wanted to rape them!"
Indeed, on the first day they stayed here, many soldiers couldn't help themselves immediately when they saw these maids from Prince Qin's palace who were usually well-trained and elegant. As long as they were young maids, they had already been poisoned.
"I forgive you, Prince Consort. I couldn't control myself for a moment and am willing to be punished."
be punished?
Li Chenglin next to him looked very strange. Just drinking some wine, eating something, and playing with women. Is this considered a crime for a fool? This is why people are punished.
"Huh huh huh!" Li Chenglin became proud: These soldiers will definitely be angry later, let's see if the consort will chop off all their hair like he did to Prince Lu.
Li Chenglin was indeed inexplicably excited: Just look at how to punish these soldiers, and then frighten these literati with eternal hatred, how to arrest them?
Yang Ying sighed helplessly and said: "Although they are from the Prince of Qin's Palace, even if they are guilty, they still need to be interrogated and judged. If you secretly rape them, you have also committed the crime of raping an adulterous woman."
But how should this crime be dealt with in Daqian?
Yang Ying looked at the scribe next to him and asked, "I see you are a scribe, but do you know how to deal with such a crime?"
The scribe raised his eyes, glanced at Yang Ying indifferently, and said: "Da Qianlu, who rapes and defiles others will be sentenced to three years in prison."
