The whole city knows we are locked

In the imperial study room, the emperor was leading a small meeting with several confidant ministers, and the crown prince was listening.

The case of falsifying household registration and buying and selling refugees has been investigated, and those involved have all been sent to prison, waiting to be questioned and executed in autumn.This case is a separate case and has nothing to do with the rats in the gutter.But everyone wants to combine the two cases into one case on the bright side, and use this case to dig out the "rat's nest" of the rats, and completely weaken the existence of the legacy of the previous dynasty.

Although no matter how much the relics of the previous dynasty jumped around, it was impossible to shake the rule of this dynasty.

But since they like to hide their heads and show their tails like thieves, why should the court help them prove their identities?

It's better to catch them all in the dark!Make them disappear without a sound.

It just so happened that orphanages in various places have been checked.At the beginning, on the pretext of praying for the queen, he released a group of eunuchs out of the palace, and pitied them for their sad life after they left the palace, so they were sent to the whole country to take up positions in orphanages in various places.These eunuchs are "secret spies", and with the help of the forces in charge of Cao Xiang, they have basically figured out the situation in the orphanages in various places through careless calculations.Now the summary of the news is placed in front of the emperor.

There are so many orphanages across the country, not all of them have been infiltrated by "rats".Altogether, orphanages with rats constituted a very small fraction of the total.But this does not mean that there are no problems in those orphanages where there are no rats. Some orphanages have corruption, unfavorable child care and other bad phenomena.

As long as the emperor gives an order, the person who should be arrested will be arrested, and these orphanages will have to undergo rectification.

What Cao Xiang meant was that, while the cases of falsifying household registration and buying and selling refugees are spreading, it is better to graft on the case of the Orphanage Home. On the surface, he only said that the culprit of buying and selling refugees was also buying and selling children in the Orphanage Home. child.In this way, the Orphanage can be rectified in an open and honest manner, and all those with internal problems will be arrested, while the rats will be prevented from making a bigger noise and causing unnecessary panic among the people.

At the same time, the emperor still has a list in his hand, which contains the names of some monks and nuns.

The prince was obviously very curious about this list, not knowing where it came from.These monks and nuns also have problems.Most of the lists are nuns, with only a few monks.They also belong to the rats in the gutter. As monks, they walk around the inner house, develop contacts and find targets among wives and young ladies.

It is not difficult to find these monks and nuns, because the slightly "famous" nuns must have a teacher. When did they worship a certain mage as their teacher, and when did they study in a certain nunnery? Who, who is her apprentice and grandson... These are all known.A nun who doesn't even know her background clearly, she can't establish her own ashram in an open and honest manner, and gain the trust of the lady everywhere.

Therefore, as long as you know that there is a problem with a nun, and follow the nun's mentorship and connections to find out, you will definitely be able to find other nuns with problems.Grabbing a thread can dismantle the whole net.

The prince made an analogy and said: "We took the opportunity to arrest these fake monks and nuns, and similarly grafted the charges on the culprits who bought and sold refugees, saying that they were also engaged in the business of forging household registrations and helping some prisoners to forge monks and nuns. Identity?" Isn't that the case of the liar couple who pulled out the big case, because they saved the life of the lame three, so the lame three gave them a fake household registration in return, so that they can cheat.

"I think it's possible," said the emperor.

But to arrest people with such a big fanfare, although the obvious reasons have nothing to do with the rats in the gutter, and the public will not know the existence of the rats, the rats must know that they have been exposed.Will they jump over the wall in a hurry to do something?Have you checked out the rats in the palace?this point is very important!

The prince was a little worried.But the emperor said: "I have already passed on the secret decree to Duke Shunguo."

From discovering the existence of rats and realizing that their base camp was located in a foreign land, the emperor made plans to fight.He passed on the secret decree to Lord Shunguo a few months ago, and Lord Shunguo is obviously well prepared, as long as he starts arresting people here—the rats in the orphanage, the rats in the monks and nuns—the emperor You can immediately issue a decree, let Shun Guogong quickly lead his troops to attack the foreign tribes, wipe out the rats' stronghold, and at the same time make the foreigners pay the price.Since the foreigners chose to collude with the mice, they must have malicious intentions.

War is bad.

But sometimes it's unavoidable.

If the emperor had never discovered the existence of rats and let the rats breed more and more, one day in the future the rats and the foreign race would definitely hit the emperor and fail to react in time.Now the emperor is just a preemptive strike.The rats in the gutter and the aliens with ulterior motives, if you don't kill them ruthlessly, there will always be future troubles if you keep them.

In this way, the only thing that needs attention is left in the palace.

Thinking of the sixth prince who had just been lifted from the restraint, the prince frowned slightly.On Xiao Liu's side, everything looks normal now.But this kind of normality makes people suspicious, and they always feel that someone is brewing a big one.

After the small meeting, everyone left in an orderly manner, except for the crown prince who was left behind by the emperor.

The emperor took out a secret booklet from the hidden box and handed it to the prince.The prince didn't shirk it either, he took the secret book and read it.Looking at it, he raised his head and asked: "That is to say, it is impossible to be sure whether the third son has any descendants alive in this world. If there is, it is not known where his descendants are. Is it?"

The emperor nodded.

The aristocratic family, the Qian family, secretly took in the third son. After all, more than [-] years have passed since the incident, and the Qian family has made many secret actions.Now I want to go back and find out, this is not an easy task.It took two or three months to find out such a useful thing.Judging from the current information, the Qian family did take in their third son back then.In order to better control the third son, the Qian family put the third son in Huaifeng's hometown and locked him in a courtyard.The servants in the yard are all illiterate dumb slaves.The third son is also honest. He has lived in the yard for many years and has never made a fuss.When he reached old age, the Qian family also found a mute maid to serve him.

Huaifeng didn't know the identity of the third son at all, and they didn't even know whether the people living in the courtyard were young or old. They only vaguely knew that there was such a courtyard, and there were still rumors that the courtyard was haunted.

And no matter what the Qian family wants to use the third son to do something, as the Tai/Zu's throne becomes more and more stable, and the situation in the world becomes more and more stable, it is impossible to achieve the things that the Qian family thinks in their hearts.The existence of the third son gradually became a disaster for the Qian family.But to kill him like this, the Qian family at that time was not particularly reconciled.

At about this time, the Zhao family aunt who married into the Qian family as the mistress heard the news and immediately ran back to her natal family to consult with her elder brother.Patriarch Zhao was anxious and angry, thinking that the relics of the previous dynasty must not be left behind.

The Zhao family put a lot of pressure on the Qian family.

In the end, the Qian family decided to kill the third son quietly.But the third son seemed to have noticed something.He didn't want to escape.On the same day, there was poison/drug in the meal, and he ate it as if nothing had happened, and then died of poison/poison.That night, a fire broke out in the yard, and the body of the third son was burned along with the houses in the yard until there was not even ash left.

However, the Qian family only noticed afterwards that the dumb maid serving the third son had disappeared!

The dumb maid takes care of everything on the bed together.No one knew if she was pregnant when she disappeared!Moreover, it is incredible that she, a weak girl, was able to escape from the Qian family.In the end, anyway, she escaped.The Qian family searched secretly for a long time, but they couldn't find her.

If the dumb maid had been pregnant and the child had been born, the child would be in her 60s now.

People in their 60s, if they marry a wife and have children normally, there will definitely be no shortage of children and grandchildren.

The prince sighed: "This Qian family! Their hearts are higher than the sky, but they can't do a little thing well." You have already grasped the third son, so he must want to change the dynasty, right?You have such big ambitions, but you can't even look down on a maid?It is not known whether she is pregnant or not, nor where she fled.What is this called!

The emperor said: "They must have made an agreement with someone to take in the third son back then. If this dumb maid can escape, someone must have secretly helped." How did the third son appear in the Qian family? The Qian family couldn't go there by themselves Did you catch it?The emperor preferred that there were a few people who were loyal to the previous dynasty. They knew the existence of the third son and took the initiative to escort the third son to the Qian family.The influence of these people must have been seriously insufficient at the time, and they could not protect the third son well.But later, they gradually developed some influence, and saw that the Qian family was going to turn against each other. Although they failed to rescue the third son, it was still easy to let the third son act as a cover to save an unremarkable maid.

According to the emperor's idea, it would be best for the maid to be taken to the rats' headquarters in the alien race, where her children and their descendants are also there.In this way, when Duke Shun's soldiers advance and break through the foreign defenses, they will be wiped out.The so-called relics of the previous dynasty are like cockroaches hiding in the corner of the house. They are not fatal, but they are disgusting!It would be better if they were completely wiped out.

The father and son finished discussing important matters, Xu saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, the prince wanted to make him happy, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is Yin Nu's idea to arrange eunuchs to work as supervisors in the Orphanage... I have found out the case of falsifying household registration and buying and selling refugees, so I should give him a good reward. My son wants to ask for a reward for Yin Nu."

"Oh? Reward for what?" The emperor really raised some interest.

"Father will take care of everything else, but I hope that a hair tie can be added to the reward," said the prince.

emperor:"???"

Hairband, what kind of reward is this?Can Duke Jingfu and Heping still lack a hairband?

The prince sighed: "As an elder brother, you can't ask Yin Nu to wear the hairbands given by others all the time, right?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, and asked with a stiff face: "Sent by Xiao Jieyuan from the prime minister's family?"

Does this question still need to be answered?Could there be another answer?

The supreme father and son suddenly sighed in unison.
