"What are you going to do with those merchant princes who paid bribes?" Ye Yin asked.
Zhao Jun's face showed murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Kill! Kill them all!"
"The prince is not afraid that if he kills them all, it will be detrimental to the various projects and industries currently being carried out in Yunzhou County?" Ye Yin asked again.
Zhao Jun said coldly:
"So what? There are a lot of people who want to make money. Without this group of businessmen, their positions will naturally be filled by the next group.
The replacement speed of businessmen is much faster than that of officials. Since I can fatten them all by myself, I can raise the next batch for Yunzhou County!
Even if the development is delayed, it doesn't matter. The temporary pain now is better than the pain that needs to be uprooted in the future!
Since they dare to use this method to get into the officialdom, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
Ye Yin nodded. She had one opinion about officials, but for businessmen, people in this era always had a prejudice, regardless of top or bottom. Perhaps it was because of the profit-seeking nature of businessmen themselves that people from all walks of life were unfavorable. meet him.
So after only saying a few words, seeing Zhao Jun insisting, Ye Yin did not continue to persuade him, because she also felt that this was a trivial matter.
He is just a businessman, just like the leeks in the field. After you cut this crop, there will be another crop. As long as the industry makes money, there will always be people who are greedy for the money and enter the industry.
There is no shortage of people.
"Okay, don't stand here stupidly. You haven't eaten yet. Why don't you go to my courtyard to eat something?"
Ye Yin said with a smile.
Zhao Jun nodded, and the two immediately headed towards Chunhe Courtyard. Behind them, Cui'er and Wang Huai'en both looked at the leaving couple and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Huaien said with a smile on his face: "It is a great blessing for the prince to marry the princess."
Cui'er raised her head: "That's right, our princess is the best!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes! Miss Cui'er said yes!"
…
Just after eating, a subordinate suddenly came to report that there was news from the dungeon.
Zhao Jun hurriedly put on his cloak and led Wang Huai'en towards the dungeon of the dungeon guard under Ye Yin's farewell.
At night, Yunzhou County no longer has the bustle of the past. It is snowing in the sky. Even though there is no curfew in Yunzhou City, no one wants to go out at this time.
While the wheels of the carriage were turning, the carriage stopped in a remote residential area in the North City.
This is the old town of Yunzhou City. With the development of Yunzhou County, the local elderly people have gained money and moved to a better place to live.
There have been rumors that this old town is going to be demolished, but four or five years have passed and there is no sign of it being demolished. In the end, everyone sold the house.
Little did they know that the houses they sold were all acquired by the same person.
After that, this place became the base camp of the secret guards, and the dungeons of the secret guards were also built here. All the prisoners captured by the secret guards were locked up here.
In front of an old house that looked very old and dilapidated.
One or two carriages slowly stopped.
"My lord, be careful!"
Wang Huaien carefully helped Zhao Jun out of the car. Zhao Jun waved his hand, jumped off the car's shaft with a slight jump, and landed firmly on the ground.
The two walked forward slowly and knocked on the door gently and rhythmically.
Crunch~
Amidst a creaking sound, the dilapidated wooden door was slowly opened, and an old man stuck his head out tremblingly, asking in a vibrating voice: "Who is it?"
But when he saw the person clearly, his expression changed, and the waist he had been bowing immediately straightened, and his voice became richer, and he said respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded and walked slowly in along the door he opened. The man looked around to make sure there was no one before he went back inside and closed the door again.
Entering the house, Zhao Jun walked towards the main hall in a familiar manner. In the main hall, there was an old woman embroidering a purse under the light.
Seeing Zhao Jun and others coming, he quickly saluted.
"Your Majesty!"
Then he pressed the raised armrest of the seat next to him, and the altar table in the main hall immediately sank, revealing an underground passage.
Zhao Jun then took Wang Huai'en away again.
After the two of them went down, the old woman pressed the bump again, and the tunnel rose again, and everything returned to calm.
Outside the house, the old man was leaning against the door and dozing off, his head nodding.
Inside the house, the woman was using the dim light to embroider the purse in her hand stitch by stitch. Most of the black cloud pattern with a lightning pattern had been embroidered.
There are torches lit on both sides of the passage below, making the passage brightly lit.
Zhao Jun walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, his face calm.
Wang Huaien just followed behind, with the same expressionless face.
The entire passage was filled with the only echo of their footsteps as they moved around.
After walking for about thirty breaths, the two finally walked out of the passage, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
In the dark and gloomy dungeon, only the little bits of firelight from a few surrounding torches were emitting light, providing the only light.
At the exit of the passage is a square space measuring about thirty square meters and three meters high.
There was a table facing the passage, and several people were sitting at the table.
On the left is a cross specially used to tie prisoners. There is still a little bit of dark brown blood on it. Apparently many people have been tied up.
On the right side of the wall, there were large torture devices placed on the long table, beside the wall, and even on the wall.
Various small instruments of torture were either placed or hung.
The torture instruments above were all kinds of strange. In addition to the conventional vise clamps, sticks and whips, there were many torture instruments that even Zhao Jun didn't know about.
There is another passage directly opposite the entrance of the passage, but when entering from this passage, the two sides around it have been separated into cells.
Zhao Jun ignored this and looked straight at the person who was sitting on the table - Jiang He!
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang He and several government officials quickly stood up and saluted. Zhao Jun waved his hand, found an empty seat and sat down, then asked, "Why do people come to me in such a hurry?"
Jiang He did not hesitate, and immediately told everything in detail about the ideas and plans revealed by Li Yi in the cell, as well as the final information Zhu Tuo told him.
The more Zhao Jun listened, the colder his eyes became.
This Li Yi has been dishonest since he first came to Yunzhou County and became a feudal lord. I didn't expect that after so many years, he still has so many thoughts.
In this case, then you should leave me alone!
Also, Zhao Jun understood that the account book Zhu Tuo mentioned was the key to his rectification of the entire Yunzhou County officialdom this time, so he must get it!
Zhao Jun immediately said:
"Be sure to get that account book, and don't worry about him arranging guests to contact officials who are also corrupt and bribery.
This has been prevented a long time ago, and he can't do it. "
Jiang He felt relieved after hearing this. If Li Yicheng was really allowed to do it, it would be a catastrophe for the Yunzhou County officialdom.
This prince of my own will probably really kill him by then.
A few people making trouble and dozens of people making trouble are completely different meanings and concepts.
My prince will definitely not be able to bear it!
And just when Zhao Jun finished listening to Jiang He's story, there was a trotting sound in the passage behind him, and then a secret guard ran back panting. As soon as he came in and saw Zhao Jun, the secret guard immediately raised his hands He held up something and said:
"Your Majesty, the arrest at Li Yi's shop has been completed. This is what I got from Guo Xiaoliu! Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
