Chapter 187 Launch a counter-espionage operation?
"What did you see?"
The beggar smiled, stretched out the bowl in his hand, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
He Liming gave him a friend, and the beggar saw what the hell was this?
He shook his head quickly.
"This is the newly issued money from the court. If you dare not, you will be disrespectful to the court!"
The beggar quickly grabbed it and said, "It's Sun Siniang from Yingchun Tower!"
"How did you know?"
"Because I often go to Yingchunlou Street to beg for food, Sun Siniang is one of the four flowers in Yingchunlou!"
At this time, a subordinate said: "Boss, Wu Yi does know Sun Siniang. When his brothers went to Yingchun Tower together three months ago, he hooked up with Sun Siniang and said in front of us many times that he wanted to redeem Sun Siniang!"
He Liming's face darkened and he immediately ran to the door.
"Walk!"
He Liming turned over and rushed towards Yingchun Tower with his men.
Yingchun Tower was open at this time. When the madam saw that it was the Imperial City Department, she hurried over to pick up the customers.
"The Imperial City Department handles the case, don't cause trouble, call Sun Siniang out!"
"Oh, Si Niang's face is really big. The Imperial City Guard called on Si Niang to accompany her!"
He Liming said coldly: "Call her out quickly, otherwise I will seal your Yingchun Tower!"
The madam quickly asked someone to call Sun Siniang. Soon after, the servant came back and said, "Mom, Siniang went out this morning and has not come back yet."
"What! The dead girl hasn't come back yet! She told me that she would come back in an hour! Why don't you go and find me!"
The madam was beaten around and said that Sun Siniang was her money tree, so she couldn't let Sun Siniang run away.
She was anxious and blamed herself. She had known that she wouldn't have let that girl go out.
He Liming frowned and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
"Where has she gone?"
"She has been feeling cold recently. Today she said she was going to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense sticks to pray for peace."
I didn’t go to Daxiangguo Temple at all!
He Liming sent someone to find Sun Siniang, and he sat in Yingchun Tower and waited here.
I waited for a day and didn’t see Sun Siniang coming back, and no one sent out was found.
He Liming went to the Inspectorate overnight and told Liu Yanzong about what happened today. Liu Yanzong invited the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice.
Several people agreed that the result was that if any female corpse was found today, they would immediately notify the inspector's office.
Sure enough, on the third day, someone reported to the official and said that a female corpse was found by the river outside the city.
After the coroner's examination, he had been dead for two days. The madam from Yingchunlou also came to recognize the body. Although she had been soaked in the water and deformed, she still recognized it. Sun Siniang undoubtedly.
Damn it! The clue is completely broken!
Liu Yanzong was in pain when he arrived. At this time, he did not dare to take his own initiative and hurried into the palace, intending to report everything to the emperor.
The emperor had just discussed the issue of mobilizing food and grass for Zong Ze and Yue Fei with Zong Ze.
Liu Yanzong hurried in and explained everything.
Zhao Huan said: "Liu Aiqing, according to you, who is behind the scenes that are driving this matter?"
"I am stupid."
"Speak quickly!"
"It's a detailed work by the enemy country!"
"Why don't you say it's the Supreme Emperor?"
"The Supreme Emperor is now living a free and easy life in the palace and has no interest in the throne."
"But it is not ruled out that someone wants the Supreme Emperor to be restored."
"Your Majesty, I am brave. Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful. You are a saint king who has never been there before. Even the ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors are just the fire of candlelight in the brilliance of Your Majesty! All the important officials of the court today are convinced by Your Majesty, and no one is willing to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
Although Liu Yanzong's flattery was exaggerated, his words were very reasonable.
Zhao Huan drove all Zhao Ji's old ministers to death, and those who are still alive have surrendered. If Zhao Ji is welcomed back, I don't know how many people will lose their heads. Even if Zhao Ji abides by the ancestral system and does not kill people, these people will be expelled from the court.
Therefore, Zhao Huan's throne is now iron-clad, unless foreign tribes attack in, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed.
It has been a constant truth since ancient times that people leave and tea is cold. Zhao Ji has abdicated, and no one will think of him anymore.
Now someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. Who else will be there besides doing it in detail?
And the number one enemy country of the Song Dynasty today is the Jin Kingdom.
Some time ago, the Jin Kingdom intervened in the battle between the north and the south within the Song Dynasty. It seemed that the Jin Kingdom was always unwilling to return to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, or Wanyan Gao always wanted to ask for my Song Dynasty.
There are always unruly people who want to harm me!
"Do you know the true identity of the Sei-Cai lurking in Tokyo?"
Liu Yanzong said: "I don't know that these were all deployed by Wanyan Gao's confidants, and no one even knew about the Jin Dynasty."
"What should I do as my dear said?"
"Your Majesty, I dare to say that once the Supreme Emperor, the Song Dynasty not only had the army to prevent the abolition, but also had no precautions against the enemy's fine works. The fine works of the Jin Kingdom have penetrated into the Song Dynasty since it formed an alliance with the Song Dynasty to attack Liao. If you want to dig out the fine works, you still need to start from the source!"
"You mean to dig from Wanyan Gao?"
"yes!"
After Liu Yanzong left, Zhao Huan immediately wrote a letter to Sima Junru, and asked someone to send it to Youzhou, the northern capital.
The clues of the Jiaozi case were completely cut off after Sun Siniang's death.
The Jiaozi case ended with the execution of the parties involved and the rich businessman of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce being fined. It did not have as many people were killed as some ministers in the court had imagined.
Zhao Huan can tolerate officials with gray income, or tolerate businessmen competing within a reasonable range. As long as he does not touch his bottom line, he will tolerate it.
It is bound to the business of Tokyo City, and it is stipulated that Koko can be taxed, and Koko's implementation has become very smooth.
In addition, the Tokyo Express and the Song Dynasty newspaper were widely published in Tokyo City that those famous nobles all used Jiaozi. For a time, some people in Tokyo City actually considered using Jiaozi as fashionable.
In Shi Ziming's words, the reason why Jiaozi is now so smooth is because the emperor's tough attitude towards Jiaozi in Jiangnanchun expressed to people the court's determination to Jiaozi. For the people, there is nothing in this world, and it is more important than what the emperor said. This is the truth.
The first step to solve Jiaozi is to resolve the financial and economic crisis in the Song Dynasty in all aspects?
The essence of inflation is that there are too few goods on the market than money, and the imperial court over-issued the currency.
Now, Zhao Huan wants to increase the volume of goods on the market.
Let’s start with food and clothing.
After experiencing the war between the north and the south, large areas of land in the south were also released, and it will become the future granary and silk production site of the Song Dynasty.
Not only that, Zhao Huan is now using troops to the southwest and wants to capture Jiaozhi.
There is a climate of three seasons, and fruits and food can be transported from there.
In this way, the goods on the market will increase greatly and inflation will be resolved. At that time, the Imperials may be added to the market.
Only when the food and clothing problem is solved, culture, crafts, schools, military, business, technology, etc. can there be a prosperous soil and truly start the process of urbanization!
The new problems that emerged at that time may be the unbalanced development of various places, which gave rise to the phenomenon of population concentration in big cities. The four cities envisioned by Zhao Huan will become magnificent cities in the future.
Xu Churen and Chen Qing had just reported to the emperor the agricultural planning and proposals of Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Jinghu Road, and the emperor was very satisfied.
Chen Ying decided on the itinerary and set off to Jiangling Prefecture to preside over the overall agricultural situation.
The emperor said: "When I finish handling the few things in my hands, I will also go to the south to take a look!"
Xu Churen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the master of the Nine Five. The chaos in the south has not yet been quelled. Your Majesty should not leave the capital."
Although he said this on the surface, Xu Churen hoped that the emperor would go out and take a look. He would not only know how difficult the following things would be!
Every time he, the Dazai, receives all kinds of strange ideas from the emperor, he wants to hit the wall.
"You don't have to say too much, my intention has been decided."
The emperor had even been to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and dared to do anything to charge in the army with a knife and a horse. What is it like to go to the south?
Is it still a tiger's den?
Even if it is a dragon's pond, it is my country. There are still places in my country that I cannot go?
Then beat it so that I can go there with peace of mind!
Agriculture is the first step in the economy, and the south is the first stepping stone for the rise of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan will never allow any mistakes.
The emperor wanted to go to the south in person to boost morale and express his determination to the people there.
At the same time, we must also inspect the real situation there.
However, before this, the enemy's country in Tokyo had to be discovered, and Yue Fei's victory in the first battle had to be passed back.
In this way, the emperor can travel to the south with peace of mind.
