The shopkeeper's face, which had been looking down upon death, suddenly froze, and he turned to look at the young man with resentment and agitation, wishing he could eat him alive.

He wanted to open his mouth to scold him, but the moment he opened his mouth, Qin Mo got a smelly sock from nowhere and stuffed it into his mouth.

The boy was shaking like chaff, not daring to look at the shopkeeper. He just trembled and said: "I, I, I saw him last month. He bought candy figures for a little girl. Then, the little girl called him daddy, so...

Just over there on Yingshui Road, that little girl was seven or eight years old. I, I remember her appearance.

Please spare my life, my lord, I am just a hired man and I don’t know anything.”

As soon as the boy said this, all the strength in the shopkeeper's body was drained from his body. His knees involuntarily bent down, and he was dragged away by the left and right officials on the creaky nest.

He shook his head desperately and whimpered.

"Let him speak." Jing Zhaoyin said.

The yamen servant paused. The shopkeeper's voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot. "I told you to let my daughter go."

Jing Zhaoyin sneered, "King Duankang is now a traitor wanted by the court. You want to negotiate terms for helping him?"

The shopkeeper licked his mouth, which still smelled like socks, but had no choice.

"I am Princess Qingyang's coachman. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I came to Jinnan to open this grain and oil shop on the order of the princess. I am usually responsible for collecting all kinds of news in the capital of Jinnan and sending it back to the princess.

Three months ago, King Duankang ordered me to go to Qianzhou to collect a batch of goods.

The goods were originally brought from Qianzhou by dry road and have been kept in the warehouse of our grain and oil shop.

Just half a month ago, King Duankang came to me and asked me to find a way to put the goods at Jinnan Wharf. I don’t have a ship. If I want to put it at the wharf, I can only use the ship of Tongxiang Company, under the pretense of buying grain.

In the name, we took the water route to Yuhang, then took the land route to pull the goods there, and then reloaded the ship in Yuhang and brought it back."

Jing Zhaoyin frowned, "Are you running around with ordnance all over the world? Even if the checkpoints don't stop you, why don't they check you when you board the ship in Yuhang? You bought food in Yuhang, and you got there under some pretense?"

"I have a pass issued by the Jinnan government. If I put in a little more money, I won't care about all the checkpoints. As for boarding the ship in Yuhang, Yuhang... The prefect of Yuhang and King Duankang are old friends."

Jing Zhaoyin's heart skipped a beat.

The emperor issued a wanted order a few months ago. He knew clearly that King Duankang was a rebellious minister, but the prefect of Yuhang still helped him?

"Put this cargo at Jinnan Wharf, what happens next?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Your Majesty didn't say anything at the time. He only said that he would wait for notification."

"Then how do you usually contact him?"

"Every time, people in front of the prince contact me. I have no right or method to contact you. Your Majesty, you are aware that I really only know so much. I know that my sins are serious, but the child is innocent. Please forgive me."

On the one hand, since the ordnance has not been taken away, let my daughter go."

Jing Zhaoyin almost laughed angrily.

"For the sake of not letting the ordnance be transported away? The state-owned legal family has family rules. What crime did you commit, your daughter? Because what you will be implicated in will be determined by the law. Now that I think about it, you still had a daughter? Back then?

Why don't you think you have a daughter when you are doing this collaboration with the enemy? Take her with you!"

As soon as the shopkeeper was taken away, Jing Zhaoyin looked at Jinnan Magistrate again.

The prefect stood there tremblingly, "If I say, I really don't know that Jinfa Grain and Oil Shop can get the general documents, will you believe it?"

Jing Zhaoyin sneered, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that you can't escape at least one crime of dereliction of duty. In addition, as a public official, Yang Tongzhi knowingly broke the law, which is an unpardonable crime. The relationship between the two of you is afraid

I can’t explain it in just a few words.”

Jingzhao Yin acted vigorously and resolutely, and after thoroughly examining the ins and outs of the case, he was afraid that something might happen to Ye Changmengduo, so he did not stay much and returned almost immediately, taking the criminals back to Kyoto to hear the emperor's verdict.

Before leaving, Jing Zhaoyin said to Qin Mo: "Congratulations to Mr. Qin. I believe the promotion documents will arrive soon. Mr. Qin is probably the fastest person to be promoted from co-prefect to prefect."

Qin Mo clasped his fists and bowed, and replied in an official tone, "I have devoted my whole life to Your Majesty."

After Jing Zhaoyin left, Qin Mo directed the people in the government office to take care of the aftermath of various affairs in Jinnan.

Tongxiang Trading Company.

The boss was leaning on the kang, squinting and nibbling on a fruit. Next to him was a young man from a trading company standing on the ground. The young man looked at his boss and said, "My boss, how do you know that you can handle it if you reveal the news to Mr. Qin?"

"

At that time, the cargo ship was parked at the dock, and it was this young man who discovered that there was something wrong with the cargo on the ship.

Seeing the neatly stacked ordnance in the boat, he was so frightened that he ran back and told his boss, but the boss just thought for a moment and held a boat party.

He also revealed the matter to Qin Mo through the mouth of the flower girl on the ship.

Now the young men all think it's amazing, how come their boss is so accurate in judging people? Why did they choose the new Qin Mo when there are so many people in the government office?

The boss squinted his eyes and had an unpredictable look on his face. The boy couldn't figure out what the boss meant, but he only heard the boss say: "If you want to survive, just let this matter go to your stomach."

The boy nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'll swallow hard and won't say anything to anyone."

Basically, at the same time that Jing Zhaoyin returned to Beijing, news from Jinnan was also sent to Prince Anbo's palace.

No matter what King Duankang's intentions were, now that his weapons were destroyed and he was exposed again, any conspiracy and tricks were of no use.

In anger, the emperor directly executed all the relevant personnel. As for the fact that the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted several times because of this incident, that is the emperor's business.

Behind closed doors, there was still no news about Yu Yan in Anbo Palace.

Not only was there no news about Yu Yan, there was also no news about Xiao Jiayuan.

I originally thought that people would be able to come back last night, but it turned out that it was almost tonight, and there was still no news.

The people in the Beijing Prince's Mansion were almost going crazy.

Not only was the Prince of Beijing worried, but Gu Luo Changming Changle was also too anxious to eat or sleep.

Even Yu Huan, who was just seven years old, stared at Gu Luo with a pair of eyes that clearly had not slept all night, and with three dog-like pestles, he asked: "Isn't Third Brother Xiao back yet?"

Gu Heng stood behind Yu Huan, with a ball of green under his eye sockets.

Xiao Jiayuan hasn't come back yet, so no one can sleep.

Gu Luo touched Yu Huan's little head, picked him up and put him on his lap, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

I don't know whether to comfort her or comfort myself.

The three dogs next to him would rub their big heads on Yu Huan's legs from time to time, silently comforting their little master.

Chang Ming couldn't sit still on the stone bench, so he simply stood up and said, "I'll go to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing to see the situation."

Just as he was about to walk out, the servants of the mansion suddenly ran in from outside with Xiao Zi in ragged clothes and bloody flesh.

"What happened!"
