Two days later, Xia Hanyu met Zheng Hai at the inn last time, and signed a snow salt contract with him. There was only one requirement, that is, the price of salt must be exactly the same as the official salt price, and the price must not be raised indiscriminately. He committed a taboo, the court will not sign any contracts with him.

As for the person who disclosed the news to him before, Jin Yiwei found out that it was just a small guard guarding the gate. He heard the news by accident and sold the news to Zheng Hai, that's all.

Although he was not severely punished, he had to stay in the imperial prison for a year and a half as a punishment, so as not to disclose information that should not be disclosed.

Three days later, under Xia Hanyu's order, Xia Ji took Jin Yiwei to the barracks and took Fan Ren away directly, the reason being that he was greedy for the army's salary.

As the deputy general of Cheng Ying, he has always been in contact with the logistics personnel for the military salary, but he used his position to cheaply and quietly greedy for countless military supplies and military salary to be transported out of the military camp.

In this regard, Xia Hanyu did not wrong him.

At that time, Cheng Ying had already felt that Xia Hanyu was targeting Fan Ren like that, but he didn't expect that what he committed was so serious, and he became quite depressed.

"Lord Xia, all of this is the general's fault. If I hadn't trusted him so much for so many years, I wouldn't... Hey!"

He punched the table violently, and the objects on it shook a few times.

Xia Ji withdrew his gaze from the table calmly, "Your Highness asked the officials to tell General Cheng that it was not your fault, but that the treachery was too thoughtful for most people to avoid it, not to mention that Fan Ren has been under your command for nearly twenty years. , if he wants to hide it, or even use your identity and position to take advantage of it, you won't be able to detect it, so just be more careful next time."

"Fortunately, His Highness noticed this matter. His Highness knew that you were innocent, and directly asked our Jin Yiwei to investigate and deal with the culprit. If one day he is used by someone in front of His Majesty, you should understand the seriousness of this matter."

Cheng Ying nodded, "I naturally understand that if this matter gets to the court, those who have disliked me for a long time will definitely not let me go."

Those people would just tear him up like a piece of delicious fat and eat it!

"Lord Xia, please thank Your Highness the Eldest Princess for your kindness in protecting me."

Xia Ji nodded, "That's it, I will take my leave."

With a wave of his hand after speaking, Yu Xiao led Jin Yiwei and the others to push Fan Ren away.

Shifu.

"What did you say!" After receiving the news, Shi Huarong hurriedly dragged his unrepaired body to Shiheng's room.

"Brother, what should we do? If Fan Ren is gone, wait for us... who else can be used in the barracks outside the city!"

During this period of time, they were more and more unlucky, first they were themselves, then they lost Cai Sheng, and now Xia Hanyu suddenly moved Fan Ren!

Shi Heng's face turned livid, "Rong Rong, do you know why Fan Ren was taken away by Jin Yiwei?"

"I heard that it was because he contradicted Xia Hanyu in the army, and was later found out to be embezzled by Mo's military salary, and Jin Yiwei directly took him away from the barracks."

It is not easy to promote a general in the army, if Cheng Ying hadn't suppressed the soldiers below, Jin Yiwei would not have been able to promote him at all.

"It's rubbish!"

Shi Heng cursed, "Just let him get some military supplies and military pay out of it, it's only been a few years... he has nothing to do to provoke that evil star, don't you think he's too lucky!"

It doesn't matter that Fan Ren died, but it ruined his arrangements for the past few years, so where can he find another officer who is as trusted by Cheng Ying as he is!

And after what happened to him, Cheng Ying would definitely not trust anyone anymore, which also created a huge problem for them to retake the palace in the future, and even had to postpone the uprising time they originally decided.

Shi Heng was in a terrible mood at this time, he was agitated, accidentally touched the wound again, and suddenly gasped in pain.

The anxious Shi Huarong looked anxious, but there was nothing he could do to help.

……

Royal Palace.

"Your Highness." Xia Ji sorted out all the details of the interrogation of Fan Ren and sent them to Xia Hanyu, "The evidence has been collected, and I also asked the delivery address of the batch of military supplies and military pay, which is not very far from Shangjing." In the cottage."

Xia Hanyu casually flipped through the information in his hand, and sneered after hearing his narration, eyes drooping.

"It's probably not some copycat robbers in there, but some remnants of the previous dynasty." Hiding in the nearest place to Shangjing, he waited for the order from the two of them.

"That's right." Xia Ji nodded, his eyes were sharp and deep, with killing intent.

"Can you find out how many remnants there are?"

Xia Ji: "The minister has personally investigated, there are about two thousand people."

"So few?" Xia Hanyu was a little surprised, and looked up at him, "There are really only so many people, are there some hiding in the dark?"

"The minister is very sure, and those people lived a life of extravagance and prostitution in extreme chaos. I'm afraid they have consumed all the previous military salaries."

Daxia is short of military supplies now, and His Royal Highness, who was even killed before, has to worry about these personally, and these people dare to be so presumptuous!

Xia Ji only felt that the Xiuchun knife in his hand could not wait to see blood.

"They have been tossing for so long, and they have raised so many waste?"

With such a person, even if he really won the world, how would the common people survive.

Xia Hanyu closed her eyes, and a flash of hostility flashed in her eyes.

"Since that's the case, let's kill them all, leaving only one or two leaders. Let's see where they buried their people and let me dig them out!"

She didn't believe that all the evils of the previous court were such waste!

The sooner it is eradicated, the sooner she can feel at ease.

"Wei." Xia Ji looked at her worriedly, pursed his lips, and said after a while: "The minister will bring those 3000 people along, and we can also find out whether they can be elite soldiers."

"Also... this is all their information. I have sent someone to investigate in the past few days, but no problems have been found for the time being."

Fu Ling stepped forward to take it and handed it to Xia Hanyu.

Xia Hanyu nodded her head, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth smiled, "I know, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Ji took a step back in fear and knelt down on one knee.

"I dare not, thank you Your Highness."

The smile on the corner of Xia Hanyu's mouth suddenly deepened, she raised her hand slightly, and Fu Ling who was beside her hurried forward to help her up, walked to him step by step, bent slightly, her pretty eyes were slightly puzzled.

"Xia Ji, are you afraid of Ben Gong?"

Xia Hanyu has seen him act fiercely when handling cases outside. He is as ruthless as a puppet who can only kill. He always purses his lips expressionlessly. No matter what vicious remarks people outside say about him, he will not blink too much. a bit.

But such a person looked different in front of her, which made her a little curious about him, wondering what the reason was.

It can't always be...

"Does this palace look scary?"
