When the interrogation reached this point, Huang Qiong, who had lost interest, ignored the two women. Look at the sky, which has turned dark at some point. After a slight hesitation, he finally did not leave the matter to anyone else. Instead, they secretly mobilized five hundred soldiers and transferred several old police officers from Chang'an Mansion. Based on the confessions of the two people, he personally led a team to inspect the secret stronghold.
Huang Qiong originally thought that the few principals left in the secret stronghold in Xijing by the King of Shu were dying and being arrested. I am afraid that there are no people in that stronghold. But to Huang Qiong's surprise, he encountered strong resistance when checking the secret stronghold. In this stronghold disguised as a grain store, everyone from the shopkeeper to more than 30 clerks are actually members of the King of Shu, and they are also good at martial arts.
The die-hard loyalty and bravery of these people to the King of Shu exceeded Huang Qiong's expectations. After discovering that they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, these people, armed with steel knives, started fighting directly with the officers and soldiers. In the end, Huang Qiong, who still didn't want too many casualties, ordered a volley of archers to kill most of the people. But the few people left, seeing that they could not break through, actually stabbed each other.
, Huang Qiong was busy for most of the night, not even a single person was caught alive, only corpses lying on the ground. In the words of a thousand years later, he was busy and lonely in the middle of the night. Looking at the corpses on the ground, even Huang Qiong had to admire his fifth brother for his mastery of control. Those leader-level figures probably have murder cases in their hands and are afraid of being liquidated, so they don't dare to fall into their own hands.
But those pony boys were actually so brave and not afraid of death, which was beyond Huang Qiong's expectation. After working for most of the night, not a single person was caught alive. Huang Qiong, who was somewhat embarrassed, ordered people to thoroughly investigate this secret stronghold, not to miss every corner or piece of paper. Fortunately, although no one was caught alive, the items found were enough to make Huang Qiong feel slightly better.
In an inconspicuous corner of this grain store warehouse, an underground warehouse was discovered. I copied out half a cart full of Wuwei Bank's banknotes of various denominations, ranging from one hundred to one thousand. They were so counterfeit that they looked real, and every government office in Xijing had their own seals and seals. A large number of ordnance, official uniforms, armor, and even a certain number of firearms that can arm thousands of people.
Although the number is not large, it is enough to send the entire Tai Chi Palace to the sky. Moreover, these firearms are all standard firearms issued by the Ministry of War. Even the wooden barrel in which it was packaged was clearly engraved with the Ministry of War's seal. In addition to these things that can be used for rebellion, the most important thing is to copy some letters that secretly exchanged between officials and the King of Shu. As well as the yellow and white books used by the King of Shu to bribe these officials.
Looking at the things that were seized, especially the angry ones, Huang Qiong's complexion became extremely livid. Chang'an Yin, Tongzhi, and Tongpan, who came after hearing the news, were so frightened that they almost piled up when they saw the confiscated items. There were so many ordnances and firearms, and more than thirty Jianghu people, hidden under their noses, and they were still so close to the imperial city.
They are the prefects responsible for detecting adultery, arresting thieves and other matters in Chang'an Prefecture, and they have a heavy responsibility to work with the prefects and prefects. It's not even an exaggeration to say he was derelict of duty. Just for discovering these things, taking off their official hat is the lightest punishment. Especially with so many firearms right next to the imperial city, what would be the consequences if these people wanted to do something to the prince?
Seeing Huang Qiong's expression of hesitation, the three of them immediately knelt down on the ground, not even daring to ask for love for themselves. But seeing these three people like this, Huang Qiong didn't say anything, just waved his hand and turned back to the palace. In fact, Huang Qiong was very angry, but he also knew that although these three officials were responsible for this matter, they could not be said to be the ones most responsible.
My fifth brother is extremely scheming and has many tricks. How could the person he had placed be the only three guys in his group who could discover and identify him? There is nothing wrong with those who catch people fast to make extra money. But if they were expected to detect such a traitor, it would be really difficult for them. Not to mention that they can't find it out, even if they find it out, they may not really dare to take care of it.
Not to mention these three civil servants who were born as scholars, isn't it true that even the old man knows nothing about the true identity of Concubine Shen placed next to him by the King of Shu? He also held Prince Yong'an as his son. Besides, detecting rebels is the responsibility of Nanzhen Fusi. What should be held more accountable is the Qianhu of Nanzhen Fusi Shaanxi Road who is responsible for arresting the rebels in the entire Shaanxi Road.
As for these three guys, they are certainly responsible. But to say that they should all be responsible is too one-sided. Thinking of the recent incident of Shaanxi Road Jiedu Envoy, it was basically a serious matter of rebellion. There is also the Yan'an prefect, plus a series of things such as the Fushi County Duke's office. Huang Qiong knew that even if he could control Nanzhen Fusi's affairs this time, he would not interfere anymore.
I have repeatedly tolerated Nanzhen Fusi, but those people still don't know how to repent. And these people have repeatedly failed in their duties and been uncooperative with themselves. He was really blinded by lard, and he accepted people's black money and turned a blind eye. Or have other ideas? It seemed that his series of iron-blooded methods had no deterrent effect on people like Nanzhen Fusi.
Those who should not cooperate will continue to do so. I remembered that after I arrived in Xijing, I had met all the officials in Xijing. Only at the Qianhu Office on Shaanxi Road, Fusi, Nanzhen, neither the chief nor the deputy were seen. When I remembered that I had been fighting the rebellion and dealing with the aftermath for several months in Longyou, I only showed one side of the thousand households in Longyou, Nanzhen Fusi. Not even one of the errands assigned to me was completed.
It seems that this Nanzhen Fusi has reached a point where it can no longer do without rectification. Just thinking about the old man, Huang Qiong couldn't help but have a headache. Does the old man really not know about Nanzhen Fusi's performance during this period, or does he know it but pretend he doesn't know it? Nanzhen Fusi was so negligent and kept applying eye drops to himself. Was the old man involved, and what tricks did he do?
Huang Qiong, who returned to Wanchun Hall, originally wanted to give the old man a secret and have a good talk with him to straighten out the affairs of Nanzhen Fusi. I just picked up the pen and pondered for a long time, but in the end I still didn't write a word. Standing up, walking to the door of Wanchun Hall and looking at the bright moonlight outside, Huang Qiong thought about it for a long time, and decided to put the matter aside until she returned to Beijing before talking to the old man.
No matter how detailed a document is, it cannot explain everything clearly. Nanzhen Fusi's rectification is imperative, but he must consider the old man's feelings and thoughts. The old man is gradually delegating power to himself, but the North and South Town Fusi is always in his hands. The commander-in-chief of the Fusi Department in Beizhen has not even met him in person, which shows that the old man does not trust him that much.
At least, not as trusting as it seems. Also, although the old man still controls the military, as well as the Ministry of Personnel and Zhongshu Province. But most of the rights have gradually begun to be let go. The only one who has always refused to be handed over to him is the North and South Town Fusi, which is probably the old man's last resort. To rashly touch the old man, with this last foundation in his hands, is not only unfair, but also probably not the best idea at the moment.
After all, under the ancestral system of Da Qi, only the emperor had the right to deal with the North and South Zhenfu Division. Except for my own grandfather, in the more than a hundred years since the founding of Da Qi, all the princes in the past generations had not even touched the crown before inheriting the rule. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozong was similar to himself now. He had already begun to supervise the country and control the government. However, the North and South Zhenfusi were not handed over to Emperor Taizong until his death.
After sighing softly and turning the rosary beads in his hand for a long time, Huang Qiong calmed down his chaotic thoughts and finally gave up on the matter. Just when Huang Qiong was about to rest, a eunuch ran over and asked for instructions on how to arrange the two women locked up in Ziwei Hall. Huang Qiong couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard that the two women were still locked up in Ziwei Hall.
Huang Qiong was a little hesitant about how to deal with the two women. Letting them go is naturally impossible. In addition to their own reasons, Huang Qiong could not let them spread the news about his martial arts skills. Moreover, if they were released, once discovered by King Shu's people, they would only die. The King of Shu is too busy taking care of himself at the moment and has not forgotten to pursue Yi Ying, which is enough to explain everything.
Killing is naturally the easiest and cleanest solution. At the very least, he must be locked up in a prison and cannot stay in the palace. But when he thought of the two women's beautiful faces and plump figures, Huang Qiong hesitated again. Especially when he thought of the smoothness in his hands before and the richness that was difficult to grasp with one hand, Huang Qiong couldn't bear to burn the piano and cook the crane like this.
Killing him is somewhat reluctant, but letting him go is impossible. Locking him up for life is a solution, but it seems a bit cruel. After pondering for a long time, I still couldn't figure out how to deal with these two women. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong smiled bitterly. In my heart, I secretly despised myself for always being soft-hearted when seeing beautiful women, especially mature and charming women.
Even though he knew that getting rid of these two women was the best solution, Huang Qiong could not bring himself to do such dangerous things. After hesitating for a while, Huang Qiong finally went to Ziwei Hall. How to deal with it, let's talk about it first and then talk about it. Seeing Huang Qiong come in, the eunuchs who were assigned to watch over the two women in the palace all left under Huang Qiong's signal.
Only two women were left, looking at the untouched food on the table, wondering what they were thinking, and Huang Qiong, who had just come in. Seeing Huang Qiong go and come back, the two women couldn't help but look sad. They knew that the brothers in the secret stronghold might have already encountered misfortune. I just don't know how many brothers unfortunately fell into his hands this time.
Both of them knew that once they fell into his hands, there would probably be nothing waiting for their brothers except one death. Among the two women, the woman named Zi Luo opened her mouth to ask. In the end, he lowered his head sadly and swallowed all the words. But just as she lowered her head, her chin was lifted up by an outstretched hand.
The person who raised her head was none other than Huang Qiong, who at some point sat down between the two girls. Looking at the beauties under the lamp, even though the two girls looked a little haggard at this time, it still made Huang Qiong's heart itch more and more. It was just admiration, but Huang Qiong did not make any move towards the two girls here. After just admiring the beauty of the two girls for a while, he took the two girls and left the Ziwei Palace.
At this time, I don’t know where I should go, let alone where this person wants to take my two daughters. He also knew that at this time, he had no other choice but to follow. Although both of them felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts. But they also knew that they had no room for resistance at the moment, so they could only follow passively.
