Ming Wanzhao learned horses at the racecourse during the day, but at night it was late to read the booklets, and the oil lamps in the Qihua Palace burned for a while.

Bai Tan urged softly while filling the oil lamp: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, if you don't rest, it will be dawn in two hours."

"No hurry." Ming Wanzhao answered with his head bowed, and after a while, he suddenly said: "The old case of the Kong family in Longnan has been re-transcribed, and now it has been closed and placed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Bai Tan suddenly stopped, and the light and shadow reflected between his brows, which were still a little bit young and immature, covering up his sorrow and joy.

After a while, he said, "It's all old things, just close the case."

Ming Wanzhao thought for a long time about who actually inserted Bai Tan into the palace, and for what purpose, until when Bai Tan's old case of Kong Bi was brought up again, Bai Tan was stunned and silent from time to time, which allowed him to find some clues.

Kong Bi still had a son who disappeared during the refugee rebellion.

He was only four years old when he disappeared, and Bai Tan is eighteen years old, so his age is also suitable.

A four-year-old child can already remember things.

"It was Su who sent you into the palace, does Su Jinhuai know who you are?" Ming Wanzhao asked.

Bai Tan lowered his head and said: "Of course I don't know, the son of a criminal minister is not worthy of a taboo name."

It became clear that Su Jinhuai sent Bai Tan to the palace, and Bai Tan approached Anxi as he wished.It's ridiculous that An Xi also thought that he had grasped Bai Tan and brought him by his side, and now Bai Tan has climbed to the current position as he wished.

"You have already found Su Jinhuai." Ming Wanzhao raised his head and asked, "Why don't you take a test for fame like Qiao Zihan and the others?"

"It's too slow." Bai Tan shook his head, and while sorting out the memorials on the case for the emperor, he said in a nonchalant tone: "Innocent and down-to-earth, walking too slowly. If you want to climb up quickly, you have to get covered in water." The filth, the slaves admit it."

Ming Wanzhao bowed his head and hummed lightly, but didn't speak any more.

After a little probing, he knew that Bai Tan was not Qiao Zihan's person.

Bai Tan originally wanted to follow Anxi's path and become the second powerful eunuch, but he met Ming Wanzhao halfway. He was very smart and immediately recognized the situation. He knew that Ming Wanzhao would not let Anxi go. He also knew that Ming Wanzhao had set a path for him, so he decided to turn against him.

Qiao Zihan wanted to be the emperor, so he would never let Bai Tan have such ambitions, Bai Tan was not his.

After reading the notebook, there was still a secret letter left on the case, which Ming Wanzhao discovered from Qi Yanxing's notebook.It's just that the news came from Lingxi

commune.

Lu Yunchuan took You Jin away, but left Jiang Zhou in Yijing.Jiang Zhou is in the dark, and he is taking the path of a spy assassin. It is more useful to leave him to Ming Wanzhao than to bring him to the battlefield.

Ming Wanzhao gave honor to the Rongsu government, and Lu Yunchuan handed over the spies raised by Lingxi to him.

Naturally, this was not to please him, Ming Wanzhao knew in his heart that Lu Yunchuan was not a person who disregarded public and private interests.Lingxi spy is Lu Yunchuan's proof that Lingxi is loyal to Daliang.

Ming Wanzhao opened the secret letter, seeing the contents above, his expression froze, and he asked, "Which army is the imperial guard patrolling the city today?"

Bai Tan immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it's Yu Liangzhong, Captain Yu's Imperial Forest Army Zuo Mansion."

"Decree to ban the army." Ming Wanzhao's face sank like water, "Seize the Jinyan Tower, arrest Jinru, and take her to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I will personally interrogate her tonight."

Bai Tan was stunned for a moment, and then withdrew to deliver the order.

The business of Jinyan Tower was already sluggish, and the singing and dancing were temporarily suspended in the second half of the night. Yu Liangzhong followed His Majesty's words, wondering why this Jinyan Tower was so unlucky again?The proprietress has been sent to prison twice!

Doubts are doubts, he naturally did not dare to delay the emperor's order, and immediately led his men to surround the Jinyan Tower, and escorted away Jin Ru, who had already fallen asleep, without any explanation.

In the big prison, Ming Wanzhao has already been waiting here.

Jin Ru was taken directly into the torture room, and she was thrown on the ground with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair. Immediately, she groaned and said tremblingly, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven! Why are you arresting people for no reason! Is there any law?!"

"Shut up!" Yu Liangzhong reprimanded harshly, then clasped his fists and responded to Ming Wanzhao: "Your Majesty, you have already arrived."

Ming Wanzhao nodded, looked down at the woman on the ground, and asked: "The day before yesterday someone bought a batch of children in Jinyan Tower, do you know who they are?"

When she heard Yu Liangzhong calling the emperor, she didn't dare to make any mistakes, and replied honestly: "Go...Go back to Your Majesty, this, how does this servant know..."

These are all shady transactions, so naturally we can't get to the bottom of it.Ming Wanzhao thought about it for a while, then asked: "Do you still remember what that man looked like? Is he from Liang or a foreigner?"

The news from Jiang Zhou was that Lingxi spies had checked a group of sold children in Dongye, not far from Yijing. Check the buyers of these children.

This is the nail driven by Beijiang on the beam. If you can check the buyer, you can follow it down, and if you are not sure, you can draw a line.

Jin Ru thought for a while, then said: "Liang Ren." Then he paused hesitantly, and then said: "It's a young man, I don't know his name, but the slave family must have seen him somewhere, presumably he was a guest in the building." .”

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Ming Wanzhao couldn't help frowning, and asked again: "You should have done this kind of business before, and the buyer is not alone?"

Jin Ru shook her head, "I only do it once every two years, how can there be so many suitable products? Of course, the buyer is not the same every time."

When Ming Wanzhao came here, he almost understood. He looked at Jin Ru and said coldly, "Where do these children come from?"

"This...was sold by relatives of parents, and no one came here to beg for food." Jin Ru showed a look of habit, and said, "There is always

If you can't survive, you want to enter the building to find a way to survive. You can live in the building, and you can live if you sell it. Life and death are fate. If your fate is not good, you can't blame others. Nick. "

Ming Wanzhao, who originally wanted to ask the teacher about the crime, froze suddenly.

In this world, there are always people who can't survive, and sell themselves cheap for the sake of stuttering, and Jinru sells them again, but in the final analysis, whose fault is this?

Ming Wanzhao lowered his eyes, said for a while, "Selling young children, according to the law, they should be beheaded."

Jin Ru trembled.

"You're right, there's nothing wrong with the common people not being able to live and work in peace and contentment, and being forced to enter the building to earn a living." Ming Wanzhao said with a cold look in his eyes, "But is it true that the children in your hands won't be able to survive? There are quite a few people entering the building."

Jin Ru gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I don't buy it, others will buy it!"

"So you became a link in this line with peace of mind." Ming Wanzhao sneered, "Others are guilty, and you are also guilty, so you are all innocent? After wading through this muddy water, the major general himself It's so innocent."

Ming Wanzhao stood up, lowered his eyes and said the last word to the woman kneeling on the ground.

"Master Chu, the jade pot in the ice ravine, is the teacher of the ages. If anyone knows about it today, I will feel ashamed because of you."

After saying that, she turned around and left, Jin Ru sat there blankly, lost in spirit, as if she had aged in an instant.

Yu Liangzhong was waiting outside, leaning against the wall and yawning. From the corner of his eye, seeing the Son of Heaven coming out with a cold expression, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is finished with the interrogation?"

Ming Wanzhao let out a "hmm".

"Then..." Yu Liangzhong glanced in, "How to deal with it?"

Ming Wanzhao failed to come up with a result today. Although it was expected, he was inevitably unhappy. He said coldly: "Closed it first, and I will hand over the rest to the Ministry of Punishment."

The arrest of people by the imperial army is mostly serious crimes, or some things that cannot be seen, and the emperor will basically order them to deal with them without anyone noticing.

Yu Liangzhong didn't react when he heard it at first, and he was stunned for a moment before responding, knowing that His Majesty is going to cross the road.

On the way back to Qihua Palace, Ming Wanzhao remained calm until he lay on the couch for a while, he took out a red corner of his clothes from the dark groove under the pillow, held it on the tip of his nose and gently sniffed it.

Even though the Lu family was removed and the aristocratic family surrendered, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

One by one because of this girder riddled with holes.

There is another news in Jiang Zhou's secret letter. Jin Ru was once a famous prostitute in Jiangdong, and later entered the Jinyan Tower in Yijing.Before that, she had been the concubine of a merchant from Jiangdong Ye's family, and before becoming a concubine, she was a slave, and was brought back by that merchant from Dongqiu.

After the Chu family in Sangcheng, Chu Rensheng died of illness in his prime, his son Chu Wangqi was beheaded in the Chu family's house for the so-called crimes of corruption and collaborating with the enemy, and all the Chu family members were exiled to Dongqiu, including Chu Rensheng's youngest daughter.

The youngest daughter of the Chu family is named Chu Rujin.

Ming Wanzhao closed his eyes, he was sitting on this high place, suddenly a little dazed.

Is the human heart disturbing the morals of the world, or is the morals of the world driving people crazy?

The oil lamps in the Rongsu government's mansion in the original Lucheng in the west of the mausoleum have not been extinguished.

In the battle during the day, Lu Guanglan steadfastly defended the Northwest Food Road and successfully repelled the enemy, but it was not without cost.Bianba is known as the number one warrior in northern Xinjiang. He was once highly valued by King Hayi of Northern Xinjiang, so he is naturally very human.

After prescribing the prescription, the doctor turned around and said: "Duke, the left arm must not be seriously injured in the past two days. It has not hurt the bone, but it must be raised for a few days."

Lu Guanglan frowned.

Deputy General Wei Yisu politely sent Lang Zhong away, and then ordered someone to send Lang Zhong home, then turned around and came back, and said with a bitter face: "Master, for a few days, you will be raised in the mansion first, Ruo Sha Ge's gang The grandson will come again, and the last general will go to fight!"

"If Yu Bei is defeated, I have to show up to fight a victory. It is the morale of the troops in the two counties." Lu Guanglan glanced at his left shoulder. With heavy eyes, he said: "When Sha Ge's troops come again, I must not avoid the battle."

Wei Yisu showed an expression that he had known this before, and wanted to say something.

"No news from the girl?" Lu Guanglan asked first.

Wei Yisu paused, shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

Lu Guanglan said "Yes", and then heard Wei Yisu sigh and mutter again: "It would be great if the young master is here, Lu Zuoxian is dead, why is the young master not coming back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Lu Guanglan's subtle expression, and immediately fell silent.

"Okay." Lu Guanglan glanced over, "What are you still doing here?"

Wei Yisu thought about those rumours, and knew he had said something wrong, so he immediately said: "The last general will retire!"

So he put oil on the soles of his feet and ran fast.

Lu Guanglan shook his right hand expressionlessly and snorted.

"It's an old bone, and it runs quite neatly."
