At the end of the Youshi period, Long Jinwei discovered more and more problems in Xiaoguozhuang, which became more and more shocking.
Guo Xing's home contains a large amount of finished hibiscus paste, gold and silver in the cellar, pig iron in the blast furnace, and armor and swords hidden under the ancestral temple...
Xiaoguozhuang is not only suspected of murdering the imperial concubine, but also wants to rebel!
But these are nothing. The biggest problem now is that where Xiaoguozhuang was supposed to grow food, there are large tracts of opium poppies.
The green leaves supported the pink flower buds, which looked beautiful and full of vitality, but it made Jia Cong's spine shiver.
This was something Jia Cong had never thought of. He originally thought poppies were only grown in hot areas, but he didn't expect to see this thing in Yandi.
Jia Shiyi noticed something was wrong with Jia Cong. He couldn't understand the disgust, fear and resentment engraved in Jia Cong's bones for this kind of thing, but he could feel the anger of his little master at this time.
"Little Third Master, I have already asked. This was planted two months ago. Guo Xing promised the people in Zhuangzi that when the time comes, they will use the fruits of these flowers in exchange for food. They will only have more and not less!"
Jia Cong just nodded slightly, seeming extremely calm.
"Have you found Guo Xing?"
"The imperial army found a secret passage in an abandoned courtyard in Zhuangzi. General Feng has sent people to chase it."
Jia Cong gritted his teeth: "Uncle Eleven, I will write a handwritten letter and you will have it sent to the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi Province overnight to strictly investigate the cultivation of opium poppies. Anyone who finds such things will be burned. Anyone involved, whether official or civilian, should be punished. Catch those who deserve to be caught, and kill those who deserve to be killed."
"Who to kill?"
"Your Majesty!"
The riding crop in Liu Ke's hand was almost turning red. He looked like he was on the verge of exploding, and his whole body was full of hostility.
Jia Cong pointed at the large field of poppies in front of him: "Anyone who grows these poppies can be killed!"
"Huh? This flower is quite beautiful, why do you want to kill it?"
Liu Ke was busy whipping people just now, and he didn't know what the poppy was.
Jia Cong simply said that hibiscus ointment was made from this flower, and he couldn't help but shudder.
He almost fell into the trap of that bitch Liu Fang before. If he and the princess hadn't always been cautious, he and the princess might have become like the Zhou family, who are neither humans nor ghosts.
Hibiscus ointment, fairy ointment, what a ghost!
The more Liu Ke thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to rush back to the capital right now, hang Liu Fang up and whip her...
"Kill! Must kill! They brought this harmful thing to the capital. What do they want to do?"
"It deserves to be killed..."
Jia Cong gradually regained his senses, suppressed the resentment in his heart, turned around and asked, "Has Thirteenth Master found out the person pretending to be you?"
When he mentioned this, Liu Ke became angry: "The whip is almost broken, and these stupid people can't get out any useful information. It's just that the man is wearing a python robe and a jade belt, which is extremely expensive. Even the stewards who are following him are... It’s a gorgeous dress.”
"Then we can only find out who that person is after we catch Guo Xing and his son..."
As soon as Jia Cong finished saying this, he saw a captain of the Forbidden Army walking quickly, cupping his hands and saying, "Prince Qi, your lord, Guo Xing and his son have been caught!"
Guo Xing is ruthless, but also cautious.
Every one of these things he did was an act of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. After hearing a few stories from the storyteller about the cunning rabbit's three burrows, he found an excuse to dig out a three- to four-mile-long tunnel in the original courtyard of his house. Secret passages.
Moreover, this man was extremely cunning. The exit of the secret passage was actually hidden in his own teahouse beside the official road leading to the capital.
When the Imperial Guards quietly arrived along the secret passage, the man almost suffocated the pursuer to death in the secret passage with a fire.
Fortunately, this group of forbidden soldiers were all the best among the best. After trying their best to burn two people, they broke through the flames and captured all five of them, father and son.
Liu Ke felt the whip in his hand getting hot with excitement, and asked with a sneer: "Where are you now?"
"Go back to your lord, in order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, the general has ordered the brothers to secretly escort all seventeen members of Guo Xing's family back to the capital.
Entered into imperial prison. "
"In that case, Jia Cong, I will return to the capital first..."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "It's time to return to Beijing. The matter here has come to an end for the time being. Your Majesty needs to make up his mind on the remaining matters."
He looked at the poppies swaying in the wind with cold eyes: "Uncle Eleven, I leave this place to you. Eradicate them all and leave not a single one!"
Guo Xing is just a chess piece, a chess piece that even the chess player doesn’t know who is playing it.
The person who contacted him was Fei Xie, a doctor in the Yunnan Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Feishe gave him a token and took him to a secret place to meet the prince, convincing him.
Since the end of the third year of Yuanyou, when Guo Xing participated in the mysterious chamber of commerce organized by the prince, the peace of Xiaoguozhuang was broken.
More than ten mysterious swordsmen were stationed in Zhuangzi, and the people in Zhuangzi became crazy as quickly as possible. The ceramic business that originally made Xiaoguozhuang rich could no longer satisfy the desires of Xiaoguozhuang's households.
Because anyone who encounters huge profits from the luxury goods business will never be able to look back because of desire.
Until the beginning of this year, several dark and thin people came to Zhuangzi. They not only brought hibiscus paste for trade, but also poppy seeds.
The originally small land was cleared of the newly grown seedlings and planted with the money trees that the villagers cherished...
Silver, the dazzling silver prompted the farmers in Xiaoguozhuang to obey Guo Xingyan.
All this seemed natural, but it was difficult for Pan Yichen, a scholar who was familiar with the books of sages, to accept it.
From the initial drift, to the final explosion, it was because his daughter was kidnapped.
His daughter was indeed very beautiful, but she was not beautiful enough for a prince to abduct her regardless of the law.
When Pan Yichen was about to be driven crazy, he accidentally learned from the people in Zhuangzi that his daughter was actually taken away by the prince's steward.
"Your Majesty, there are 120,000 taels of silver found from Guo Xing's house. According to Guo Xing's explanation, all this silver is going to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion."
Liu Ke looked at the token found from Guo Xing, and was shocked and angry: "This is slander. If I need money, why would I do such a shameful thing! I just go to the Dragon Head Palace to steal... and take it. A few things cost ten thousand or eight thousand dollars!"
The imperial prison was located in Fusi, the north town of Longjing Guard. Lin Yue, the imperial envoy, was the emperor's personal soldier and lieutenant when he was hiding in his residence, and his confidant.
Liu Ke and others did not avoid Lin Yue and took him to discuss it. This matter revealed evil nature in every aspect.
Guo Xingke said that he just participated in a mysterious chamber of commerce and received the full support of the so-called Zhongshun Prince's Palace, making Xiaoguozhuang become a famous and wealthy village in just two years.
And for such a long time, the government knew nothing about it, or someone in the government erased all the unusual things.
When everyone thought that Xiaoguozhuang made money by firing ceramics, in fact, 70% of the earthen blast furnaces were filled with hot iron...
The accumulated gold and silver, the forged armor and swords all speak two words: rebellion! .z.br>
Liu Ke's patience was about to be worn out, and he cursed: "It's a pity that Guo Xing is just a dispensable chess piece, and he only glanced at that person from a distance through the gauze curtain, unable to tell who this person was. Damn it!"
Xia Shouzhong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what I'm worried about now is how many such chess pieces are there?"
Lin Yue nodded and said: "Eunuch Xia is worried about the same as the general. According to Guo Xing's description, he attended a total of four chamber of commerce gatherings. According to preliminary estimates, there are about thirty people in Gyeonggi."
"That's more than thirty Zhuangzi!"
Jia Cong suddenly said this, and Liu Ke and the other three took a deep breath.
Thirty Zhuangzi, how much hibiscus paste is there in the capital, and how much land is planted with poppies?
The more Liu Ke thought about it, the more impatient he became, and he slapped his hand on the table: "Damn it, little fat man, let me hit you!"
Jia Cong was just thinking about something when he suddenly felt like he was floating
got up.
He looked at Liu Ke who had picked him up in confusion, and asked doubtfully: "Hit someone? Who? It's already this time!"
It was already Xu o'clock, and the evening drum had just struck.
The capital, which had been noisy for six hours, gradually became quiet. Liu Ke threw Jia Cong into the carriage, looked at the gradually dimming autumn night in the capital, and said with a sneer: "Since I can't find out who is pretending, then in the capital There are many princes out there, no one can even think about living a peaceful life!"
The capital was under curfew, except for the occasional crowing of cocks and barking of dogs, and the imperial guards patrolling the city, and everything was peaceful.
But in this city with a population of one million, there are always a few noisy places with lights on, such as Nanchifang City at this time. Inside and outside the square gate, it seems that they have become two different worlds.
"Cuihonglou? What a tacky name!"
Jia Cong's complaints made Liu Ke sneer: "It's quite tacky, but his home is the most romantic place in the capital. Do you know who is behind it?"
"Could it be you, Your Majesty..."
"Snapped!"
Liu Ke, who slapped Jia Cong on the head, said leisurely: "Old Fourteen's uncle, the Zhen family!"
Jia Cong added the second half of the sentence: "Perhaps it is simply the property of Prince Zhongxin's Palace!"
"clever!"
Liu Ke raised his eyes and looked at the brightly lit three-story wooden pavilion, and sneered: "Let's go, I will take you today to see how much luxury there is in this most romantic place in the capital!"
Since ancient times, there have been many stories to tell.
But Jia Cong has always been insensitive to this. He was once full of curiosity, but after seeing the filth and darkness behind the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion, he strongly resisted the cannibalistic pavilion behind the superficial scenery.
Behind each Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion are miserable women and horrifying bones.
"Masters, please..."
"Bang!"
Liu Ke said he came to beat people, so he really came to beat people.
As soon as Gui Nu took a few steps forward, he saw clearly the clothes of Liu Ke and Jia Cong.
One was wearing a python robe with a jade belt, and the other was wearing a purple robe. No matter how stupid he was, he knew clearly that these two were nobles among nobles.
He immediately put on his most flattering smile, secretly saying that he must not offend these two people, but just after saying half a sentence, he was kicked away by the noble man in python robe.
Wow!
There were also scattered tables and chairs on the first floor. The turtle slave hit one of the tables hard, causing it to crack.
Wow…
Qin Lou Chu Pavilion is a place for cannibalism, and a large number of thugs are always prepared, firstly to prevent the women from escaping, and secondly, to prepare for fights with others.
But among the thugs who rushed forward, no one dared to take a step forward.
Not to mention the nobleman in the python robe and jade belt, there was also the petty official with the fat orange cat tattooed on his chest, a being they did not dare to touch.
If they collide with noble people, one of them will count them all, and they will all go to Caishikou for a walk.
Everyone who is being tortured at Caishikou will shout that he will be a good man again in eighteen years, but will there really be a hero in eighteen years?
Liu Ke just looked around coldly, and everyone who made eye contact with him shrank back.
"I am here to play with you tonight, drive everyone out and clear the place!"
So arrogant!
Jia Cong almost had stars in his eyes. This man really did whatever he wanted. At this time, there were countless dignitaries enjoying themselves in the brothel. This man actually shouted the word "clear the place."
As for whether the officials who were kicked out will be impeached, haha...
The place was cleared immediately. The soldiers of Prince Zhongshun's Palace did their duty and threw out the naked men in every room.
The talented people who spoke like saints during the day and the officials who adhered to etiquette in court were thrown out of the room one by one.
Chi Guoguo was naked and wanted to yell and curse in shame and anger, but she could no longer care about it. They covered their faces to avoid other people's eyes.
"It's really eye-opening.
Brother Cong, have you seen that person? Zhen Yingfu, a doctor in the Department of Military Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is the cousin of the fourteenth old man! "
"And that person, Mr. Yang Shouching, the young minister of Taichang Temple, impeached me at the beginning of the year, saying that I have no royal dignity, and that I have lost the royal dignity by fighting with hawks and dogs every day!"
"Yang Kang, the great talent of the Imperial Academy and Lord Yang's biological son, tsk tsk, is really interesting. Father and son stay together in Cuihong Mansion. He will probably become famous in the capital tomorrow!"
Liu Ke usually wanders around the capital. At this time, countless people covered their faces to avoid his gaze.
Jia Cong was dumbfounded as he listened to Liu Ke's roll call, Liu Ke's mocking laughter, and those people's pleas...
Until a man in rich clothes came out of the inner hall, frowned and said: "Thirteenth Master, you have to be merciful and merciful, and there must be a reason for you to do this today. If the slaves under you have If something is not done well and makes you angry, just tell me and I will definitely give Master Thirteen a satisfactory answer!"
"You little naughty slave, how dare you speak in front of me? Get out!"
Liu Ke became arrogant and completely crushed the entire dandy in the capital.
The soldiers brought a chair, and he sat on the chair with dignity, and said coldly: "I am bored tonight and want to visit a brothel. Isn't Cuihong Tower the most romantic place in the capital? Continue here Play music and dance!"
"If I am pleased to see it, I will be rewarded heavily!"
"If I can't let you enjoy yourself to the fullest, Cuihong Mansion will be in ruins tomorrow morning!"
"You can go and tell the master behind you. I want to see if he dares to come to save you, and if he dares to come in front of me?"
