Teahouse, private room.

Zhao Yan sat opposite Liu Zhi, a young man in a commoner.

Liu Zhi looked at Zhao Yan and said, "I see that your identity is extraordinary. You must be a noble person. Can you really ask the emperor to return my fiancée to me?"

Zhao Yanqing's mouthful of tea and said with a smile: "As long as you speak reasonably and can prove that the emperor did something wrong, I can help you."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi immediately became confident.

"My name is Liu Zhi, from Caizhou. Before taking the exam, I taught and educated people in my hometown. Caiying and I were childhood sweethearts. They got engaged at the end of last year, but because my mother was seriously ill, the marriage was postponed. But at the beginning of this year, the government suddenly took Caiying away, saying that the emperor wanted to take a concubine, and Caiying had been decided by the emperor. I heard that the girl who had come to the capital, so I also came to the capital. Then I learned from a fellow villager in Caizhou, called Hong Ba, who was called Ba Master."

When talking about the word "Eighth Master", Liu Zhi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anger.

"Hong Ba told me that there are three thousand beautiful girls in the palace. Those who are selected to become concubines can glorify the clan, but some unselected ones will stay in the palace and become slaves and will never be able to get out for the rest of his life. And he has the means to save Caiying, but he needs some silver. So I gave him all my wealth and eighty-five silver notes. Two days later, he told me that the money had been spent, but Caiying had been selected by the emperor and could not get out!"

"I really have no other way, I can only stand by the imperial city and scold the dog emperor!"

As Liu Zhi spoke, tears fell down his eyes.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan looked depressed. This was obviously a scam.

But the emperor took the blame for the bad things that others did.

Now, the only clue is probably Hong Ba.

Zhao Yan asked: "Do you know where Hong Ba is?"

"Hong Ba has a casino in the south of the city. He has many subordinates. I can't get in at all, and I can't see him!" Liu Zhi sighed.

"Heiwa." Zhao Yan shouted to Heiwa outside the door and said, "Let Shen Tuyi take a few people and let's go to the casino."

"Okay!" Heiwa said excitedly. He heard Zhao Yan's tone, and he knew that he was going to fight again.

Heiwa felt inexplicably excited about fighting.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yan, Heiwa and Liu Zhi stood in front of a casino in the south of the city.

Behind them, Shen Tuyi led eight strong men with their heads raised, looking like they were smashing the ground.

The guy who was guarding the casino gate recognized Liu Zhi at a glance and whispered: "You, you can't go in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man grabbed the guy's arm and threw it out.

Then, Zhao Yan and others entered the casino.

There was a pungent smell in the casino, with noisy voices inside and endless dice.

Shen Tuyi, who was 1.9 meters tall, was like an iron tower. He walked straight to a table and slapped it down.

"Bang!"

A large log table was directly slapped into pieces by Shentu Yi.

"Let Hong Ba come out!" Shen Tu Yi said loudly. He was still very happy to play the role of a knight in the world occasionally.

The casino suddenly became quiet, and then a bald middle-aged man walked out.

"He...he is Hong Ba!" Liu Zhi said in a trembling voice.

Hong Ba glanced at Liu Zhi, then looked at Shen Tuyi, and instantly understood the reason for the whole matter, and realized that the real person in charge was Zhao Yan.

He bowed to Zhao Yan gently and asked, "If you dare to ask where this young master is, I, Hong Ba, also worshiped the dock in the capital. Let's not rush the Dragon King Temple to the flood!"

Heiwa brought a chair, and Zhao Yan immediately sat down, and asked, "Tell me where is his fiancée?"

Hong Ba's eyes rolled and said, "It's in the palace!"

Zhao Yan stopped talking and glanced at Shen Tuyi.

Shen Tuyi immediately understood and waved at the eight burly men, who rushed up.

Hong Ba felt something was wrong, and more than a dozen minions behind him also rushed over with long sticks and big swords.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

How could a dozen gangsters be opponents of the imperial guards elite?

In the blink of an eye, all the gangsters lay on the ground and started to wail. Shen Tuyi grabbed Hong Ba and threw it directly in front of Zhao Yan.

"Tell me where is his fiancée?" Zhao Yan asked again.

Hong Ba said tremblingly: "I...I...I don't know!"

Swish!

Shen Tuyi picked up a big knife and put it on Hong Ba's neck in an instant.

"I...I said that she was not in the palace, so she should...because she was sold into a tile!" Hong Ba said in fear.

Shen Tuyi asked rudely: "Who sold it and why it was in the tiles?"

"I... I just heard that there was a businessman in Caizhou who pretended to be an official on the grounds of the emperor's draft, took away a large number of young women, and then sold them to a tile. He just needed to tell the woman's family that they became palace maids, and the family members would not dare to ask questions again!"

"Is the government a decoration? No people sue? No officials care?" Zhao Yan asked in confusion.

Hong Ba curled his lips and said, "If this young master is not supported by the government, who would dare to do such a beheading thing? But... I... I just heard some news and cheated money, but I didn't abduct anyone."

After hearing this, Zhao Yan felt a chill.

This is really his dereliction of duty!

When Liu Zhi heard that his fiancée was sold to the lowest level, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and begged Zhao Yan: "Neighbor, you must save my Caiying!"

Zhao Yan stood up and said with great confidence: "Don't worry, within three days, I will let you see your fiancée."

After saying that, Zhao Yan went back to the palace directly.

Liu Zhi was arranged to a hotel.

The Chakong Hall.

Sun Houshi, Minister of Justice, and Ma Shichang, Minister of Justice, rushed over.

Halfway through, Shen Tuyi had already told the two of them about the general process of the matter, and they stood in front of Zhao Yan with a nervous look on their faces.

Zhao Yan was furious.

"Do you know? He pointed at the imperial city and scolded me for being incompetent and forcing the people to rob the women. Did he scold me correctly? He scolded me very well. It is a shame for every official of the Great Zhou Dynasty to have such a thing happening to me in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"The people will not scold you, but they will scold me, call me stupid and incompetent, and call me a foolish monarch. The words of the people are easier to spread to future generations than the historical books written by historians. I cannot afford to lose this person!"

"This matter is never simple. Without the protection of officials, it is impossible for anyone to dare to do such dirty things under the name of the emperor!"

"How many such borers in Dazhou are there in my Dazhou, and how many people are still lip service and doing things that are invisible. All of these need to be investigated!"

"I will limit you to investigate the whole story of this matter within three days and find Liu Zhi's fiancée. If you can't do it, you two will resign!"

...

Zhao Yan has never been so angry.
