Bold, how dare you break Ben Hou

Chapter 52 Private Conspiracy

Xiao Huan lived in a very small room, as soon as he entered the yard, he could see the inner hall. After everyone entered one by one, they found that Lian Xiang had been waiting in the room for a long time.Seeing Gu Jixiu and the others coming in, he got up quickly, and wanted to put away the things in his hands in a panic, but the panic became more and more chaotic, and with a loud crash, the scroll fell to the ground and rolled away.

Qingzhi picked it up, and saw that on the scroll was a thin and 27-eight-year-old man, although he didn't have rich clothes, but his eyes were handsome.

Qingzhi glanced at each other, feeling a little understanding in his heart.Rolled up the picture scroll and handed it to Lianxiang, who took it with her hand. There was a dull jade bracelet on her arm like a white lotus root, and she knew it was just a cheap product from a roadside stall.

"Xu Yi is really honest, and he only gave you such a thing. For such a person, is it worth giving up everything like this?" Gu Jixiu grabbed Lianxiang's hand from the side, shaking it mockingly .

Before Lianxiang could respond, Zhao Chunshan, who was standing aside, changed his face first, and his figure moved. Before Xiao Lue had time to press the button, Gu Jixiu and Qingzhi's eyes drifted over.

Zhao Chunshan understood immediately, his face was flushed red, he was embarrassed as if he had been seen through by others, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"It's really the crime of grassroots people to ask His Majesty to come here in person!" Xiao Lue bowed slightly, seeing Gu Jixiu's mouth twitching, even though he knew it was inappropriate, he still managed to put in a sentence.

What he said was smoothing things over, everyone listened to him continue to say: "I want to see the emperor today, apart from the account books presented by Fu Zhi, there is one more thing I want to tell the emperor."

"What's the matter?" Other things had nothing to do with him, so Gu Jixiu didn't say much anymore.He sat down on his own, looked around and there were only two grand master chairs in the main hall, but he didn't ask Qingzhi to sit down.

"The taxation of Huizhou Prefecture, the emperor would have understood. Before Mr. Xu was imprisoned that day, he had handed over a register to the grassroots. The records on it were all officials and businessmen who had frequent contacts with Zhao Renchang, Liu Dafu and others. Huizhou Prefecture Every year, the three families of Liu, Zhao, and Ma are responsible for the annual tribute, Master Xu has sent someone to check how much money has been stolen under the annual tribute, and this account book is presumably still in Fuyi Mansion's secret locker."

"These things were on the ship that day, why didn't you report them?" Qing Zhi doubted.

"On that day, I was afraid that there would be doubts about the saint, so I dared not report it."

"Heh, it's not that I don't report it, but I also want to find out the truth about me, right?" Gu Jixiu sneered without hesitation: "I'm afraid that the officials sent in the past said that I was just a young emperor, a middle-of-the-road person." Dao? And you are afraid that I will be as the rumors say, so you also concealed something from the beginning, right?"

"The grassroots dare not!" Xiao Luan and Zhao Chunshan knelt down together. "Master Xu's case was originally said to be brought to Beijing for interrogation, but for some reason it was put on hold. It must be that Master Xu is still in prison at this time. The physical evidence the emperor needs can be sent to Fuyi Mansion to look for it. The evidence... is that besides Mr. Xu, it is Fuzhi."

Fortunately, Qingzhi suddenly remembered something, changed the subject and asked suddenly: "Is there an old man named Wang Yu in the roster?"

Xiao Lian didn't know why he asked such a sudden question, but he still nodded, and immediately understood that the ultimate purpose of Qingzhi's trip was not simply to check taxes, but to follow the vines and learn about the relationship between the imperial capital and the local area. The colluding officials were all found out.

Gu Jixiu nodded appreciatively, stretched out his hand, and Xiao Lue hurriedly handed over the roster.

I saw that the more he turned down, the more serious his expression became, and finally he slapped the roster hard on the desk, with a sullen face on his face: "Is what Xu Yi wrote down true?"

"Grass people dare not hide."

Qingzhi also knew that he was just a parallel importer who passed through, at most he could act in front of Zhao Renchang and those old sluts.In the political struggle that really involved the imperial power, he couldn't help him with anything.

Gu Jixiu also knew his troubles, so he relaxed after venting, staring at the roster with a half-smile: "This roster can help a lot, but there will be a big change in the court next time." He said to Fang Lansheng, Fu Yanxin and others, "That's why I need you."

Fang Lansheng and the others were naturally in awe, and they bowed to the ground one by one: "I am willing to do my best for the emperor!"

After talking for a while, after explaining to Xiao Lue, he was about to get up and go back to the hotel to make arrangements, but when he passed by Zhao Chunshan, he suddenly knelt down.

"For the sake of Caomin, please spare the life of Caomin's father in the future."

In fact, Zhao Renchang was just colluding with the merchants in the city, tampering with the names of taxes and annual tributes, and secretly embezzling, which is not enough to be sentenced to death; but now they all understand that what Gu Jixiu wants is not to find out the annual tributes, but to find out the annual tributes. Want to uncover this series of colluding officials.

Gu Jixiu didn't answer, he didn't even pause, and walked out.

Qingzhi watched from behind, feeling a little sympathetic.

Back in the hotel, Gu Jixiu went back to his room for half a day, and only came out after dinner, his expression was no longer as solemn as in the afternoon, but rather relaxed after he was confident.

Qingzhi is at least a person who has worked hard for more than [-] years in his previous life, and he can understand his eyes, knowing that he has such a look, he must have thought of a way.

When the food was served, only Qing Zhilan's student Fu Yanxin was left, and Liu Fu and Li Shun were all driven outside to let the wind go.

"I have already written a letter and handed it over to Gao Fei. Before Zhao Renchang was captured, the free and easy people in Chang'an must have been in the prison long ago."

"It's just..." Qing Zhi listened, thought for a while, and said bravely: "I have said enough before, if this government and businessmen are all taken away, I am afraid it will cause unrest in people's livelihood!"

He didn't want to involve himself in politics. First, he just wanted to be a marquis waiting to die. People who have already died once inevitably have relatively flat wishes; second, it was also because he really didn't understand politics. question.

But seeing that Gu Jixiu has already made up his mind to wipe out all the people in Xiao Lie's roster in one fell swoop, he is also worried that he has forgotten what he talked to him before?

Officials and businessmen are seriously hurt, how to fill those holes?
