The next morning, Li Yanqing stood by the well and was brushing his teeth with soft branches dipped in bamboo salt. The door was pushed open with a 'bang!'. Zheng Rongtai rushed in from outside anxiously, "Old Li, something big happened!"

"I was shocked all day long. Can you let me brush my teeth quietly?" Li Yanqing said impatiently.

"What a big deal!"

Zheng Rongtai rushed to the edge of the well and said anxiously: "Zhu Tao was killed last night!"

Li Yanqing was startled, "What's going on? Who killed him?"

"I don't know, this kid came out of Zhu Fenglou last night and a dagger penetrated into his forehead. He died tragically on the spot. The assassin was not only cruel, but also skillful, and disappeared without leaving any trace."

Li Yanqing snorted, "The dignified Tai student actually went to the brothel to mess around. It's really a 'grown' for the Tai student!"

"All people are dead, don't say such sarcastic words. Now there is a big trouble. How could he give up when Zhu Xie's baby son dies?"

"Is there any clue in the government?"

"There is no clue. Kaifeng Prefecture has posted a reward notice to find witnesses and those who provide clues to the murderer are rewarded with a reward of 1,000 stalemates."

"One thousand stakes!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Actually, isn't it easy to catch the murderer? This must be revenge and murder. It depends on who Zhu Xie offended and how many people want to kill him quickly. It's all right to rule it out."

Zheng Rongtai was stunned for a moment. More than tens of millions of families were destroyed by Zhu Xie. If he wanted to find an enemy, where could he find it?

"Old fat, you are looking for me just to tell me about this?" Li Yanqing asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zheng Rongtai scratched his head, "I thought it was you who did it? I happened to tell you about the Rouge Shop two days ago, and I thought you were going to take revenge on him!"

"What am I doing to take revenge on him?"

Li Yanqing snorted disdainfully, "My rouge shop is fine, he is not doing well, do I need to kill him? And I don't have the ability to do this."

"Yes! I didn't expect his father just now. Thanks to you reminding me that you are right. Too many people want to kill him. His father committed a crime and finally he was retribution on his son."

Zheng Rongtai sighed and turned around and walked out, "I still want to talk to someone else, you can do it!"

"Fatty, how are you losing weight?"

Zheng Rongtai patted his fat butt and replied from afar: "It's already started to take effect!"

Seeing him walking away, Li Yanqing squinted his eyes and smiled. The only thing he could think of was Fatty Zheng. Now, Fatty Zheng was misled by himself and was involved in his father's enemy. Who would have thought that Zhu Tao was killed by a student who had never met before?

Zhu Tao has no direct relationship with the Wang family's rouge shop. The Wang family's rouge shop was opened by his uncle. Although the matter did not fall on the Wang family, the entire Zhu family would cause storms when Zhu Tao died. The Wang family had no intention of dealing with Baoyanzhai for the time being. This is called besieging Wei to save Zhao.

But Li Yanqing killed Zhu Tao not only for this, he had a deeper purpose. The storm caused by Zhu Tao's death will eventually turn into a storm that swept the entire court, and the power structure of the Song Dynasty may change from then on.

In the morning, Prime Minister Cai Jing came to Yanfu Palace in a sedan chair. Yanfu Palace is an independent palace in the palace. Although it has been expanded for several years and has not been completed, it does not affect the Emperor Zhao Ji's enjoying the romance and the romantic life here.

Yanfu Palace covers an area of ​​more than twenty miles and extends to the outside of the city. It has magnificent palaces, pavilions and towers that are fascinating the sky, and jade bridges. Various furnishings are elegant and exquisite. Although they are not magnificent, they are even more luxurious and expensive than magnificent.

Especially the Genyue, located in the middle, was built like Fenghuang Mountain in Hangzhou. It was dozens of feet high and was made of piles of soil. It is more than ten miles in radius. It is covered with various rockery stones and precious flowers and trees. The flower and stone grammar was built from all over the south of the Yangtze River to build Genyue. Zhu Xie's wealth also began with the expansion of Yanfu Palace.

In order to plunder wealth, Yanfu Palace and Genyue were built. Tens of thousands of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River were destroyed by Zhu Xie, and their property and land were plundered. The people at the bottom were even more indifference, which directly triggered the Fang La Uprising.

The Fang La Uprising has lasted for several years, and after being extinguished, it broke out again. After several ups and downs, it became more and more serious. The court finally realized the seriousness of the problem. In order to calm the public grievances, Cai Jing felt that it was necessary to lose his car to protect his coach.

Cai Jing came directly to the imperial pavilion. The imperial pavilion was not a pavilion, it was actually a group of buildings, including more than a dozen pavilions, including Shangqing Hall, Star Gazing Pavilion, Lanyue Pavilion, etc. The emperor Zhao Ji lived here most of his time every day.

After waiting for a while, a young eunuch stepped forward and saluted, "Let your husband wait for a long time, the official family invites you to come in!"

Cai Jing's hand shook, and a bead as big as a pigeon egg appeared in his hand. He quickly stuffed it to the eunuch and asked with a smile: "How is the official feeling?"

The eunuch was named Yang Qiu, and he also won Zhao Ji's trust by playing Cuju. In addition, he was able to speak and write, smart, and was especially good at imitating Zhao Ji's handwriting. Zhao Ji simply handed him over the trivial matters of reviewing memorials. Although it caused an uproar in the court officials, he could do nothing to him.

Of course, Cai Jing was also angry, but his corresponding strategy was not to persuade the emperor to take back the imperial power, but to bribe Yang Qiu in every way and ask him to approve the memorial according to his own ideas. The two gradually reached a power-money transaction model.

Yang Qiu got the pearl and was happy in his heart. He quickly whispered: "The emperor is painting a tiger roaring in the southeast, and is painting a tiger in the name. In fact, he is worried about Jiangnan and hopes that a tiger general can be produced to pacify Jiangnan."

"Where is Zhu Xie?"

"Zhu Xie is not a tiger, but the first one is troubled!"

Cai Jing knew that he was indeed guessed by himself, and the government also wanted to take the blame with Zhu Xie.

He smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Cai Jing quickly walked into the lobby and saw that in the lobby, the emperor Zhao Ji, wearing a deep white dress and a green hat, was splashing ink in front of the drawing table. He was so focused that he could not be disturbed at all. Cai Jing did not dare to disturb him, so he stood in front of the lobby without moving.

After a while, Zhao Ji slowly said: "Cai Xiangguo might as well come and enjoy my new work!"

Zhao Ji's voice was very soft. Although he was already middle-aged, he was well maintained, with moist and fair skin, and there was no wrinkle on his face. He looked like a man in his thirties, but he looked very average, with faint eyebrows and flat face, which was difficult to tell in the crowd, but his eyes were very calm and unpredictable, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Although Zhao Ji was mediocre in governing the country, he was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, advocated Taoism and nature, and loved Cuju, and even occasionally sneaked out of the palace to have a glass of wine at the Alum Tower, he was too busy and had no time and energy to deal with cumbersome government affairs.

But Zhao Ji was not ambiguous in terms of power. He would rather trust eunuchs than trust the prince or the officials. It was also in his dynasty that eunuchs were in power, including Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Yang Qiu, etc.

Cai Jing is also a master of calligraphy. He stared at him for a moment and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty uses paintings to show his ambitions. I am ashamed of me and I have not been able to solve your problems!"

Seeing that he saw his painting, Zhao Ji sighed, "I am really troubled by the southeast! I can't figure it out. I don't want to be rich and honorable, and I have to do something to do. Is it really a mountain high and the emperor far away? Do I know nothing?"

Cai Jing knew that the emperor was referring to Zhu Xie, and on the surface he was ashamed of the people in Jiangnan, but in fact, Zhu Xie also built a smaller Yanfu Palace in Suzhou for his family to enjoy, which violated the emperor's rebellion.

Cai Jing was really worried. Zhu Xie was recommended by him at the beginning, and once it was investigated, he would have an unshirkable responsibility. At this time, Cai Jing could only push his son to block the disaster for him.

He took out the list and presented it to Zhao Ji and said, "My husband is not strict in his family education. The vilified son concealed the bribes from Mr. Zhu, and misled the merciless minister. The merciless minister wanted to destroy his relatives for justice. He asked His Majesty to issue an order to seize all the official positions of the merciless minister."

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned. He took the list and looked at it. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "He is very generous in his actions! There are five houses in the capital, and I can't afford them!"

"I didn't sleep all night last night. I hated my son for not caring about his feathers, and I hated that I believed his son's misleading. I recommended Zhu Xie to Your Majesty. I have no choice but to educate my son, and I am willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty."

Cai Jing kept accepting punishment, and then put the blame on his son. On the one hand, he asked his son to block the arrow for him, but on the other hand, he was already blamed, and no one could blame him for the matter of Zhu Xie.

Although his move was despicable, his skills were very clever, which made Zhao Ji not easy to say. Zhao Ji said, "Just just disassemble these property into the inner treasury. If you really investigate it, the court will probably have to close the door. No, let's do it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and he got the best result.

At this time, he hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, Zhu Xie's son was assassinated in front of Zhu Feng Tower last night!"

"What!"

Zhao Ji was shocked. Zhu Tao was assassinated. He immediately said angrily: "Who did this?"

"Weichen just got the news. It is said that the murderer has not been found in Kaifeng Prefecture, but there are rumors that it is probably the cause of Zhu Xie's enemy in Suzhou."

Zhao Ji was walking back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back, feeling very annoyed. He didn't care who killed him, but once Zhu Tao died, the consequences were very serious. Zhu Tao was the hostage placed by Zhu Xie in the capital. There was a hostage in the capital. I'm sorry that Zhu Xie would not dare to do anything randomly. Now, as soon as the hostage died, Zhu Xie might not have any worries.

Zhao Ji was anxious. Time could not be delayed anymore. He had to attack Zhu Jie immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "So quickly call King Jia to see me!"

He then said to Cai Jing: "You write a letter to calm Zhu Xie first, tell him that I will definitely catch the murderer and give him an explanation."

Cai Jing was stunned, and he suddenly realized that the emperor did not believe that he had nothing to do with Zhu Xie.

He felt bitter in his heart and asked again: "What should we do if we investigate the assassin?"

"I passed my oral order to Kaifeng Prefecture, and asked them to handle the case with great fanfare and offer a lot of rewards. If it doesn't work, I will investigate the people coming from Suzhou one by one. I ask them to solve the case within ten days!"

"I obey the order!"

At this time, the eunuch reported in the hall: "Your Majesty, King Jia is coming down!"

"Announce him to meet him immediately!"

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing again, and Cai Jing immediately woke up and stood up and said, "I'm leaving!" Mobile phone users please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
