Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 758: Palace Closure
Thanks to the efforts of Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao, the Divine Thunder Army is flourishing, its prestige is getting stronger day by day, it is full of vitality and its reputation is getting louder and louder.

At the same time, the Changning Imperial Army led by Han Qingshan is said to be very powerful, and its reputation outside is almost as good as that of the Divine Thunder Army.

The Divine Thunder Army and the Changning Imperial Army became famous for a while, and were known as the "Twin Swords of the Empire"...

Zhu Xiuyuan saw it with his eyes and was happy in his heart, so he became more confident and became the shopkeeper.

After working in the Shen Lei Army camp for a long time, Zhu Xiuyuan entered the city before the city gate closed.

When he went back, Zhu Xiuyuan finally got two carriages.

The people on the street didn't know who was in the car, so they didn't disturb him. Zhu Xiuyuan was finally quiet for a while.

In the carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan swayed with the shaking of the carriage, while closing his eyes and thinking about some questions.

For example, the matter of refined salt.

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to introduce refined salt, but in the end a big fish exploded——

Southeast Salt Merchant.

This southeastern salt merchant seemed to be involved in the fight for the crown prince of Chen State, and was resented by Concubine You...

"I'm afraid this will be another bloody storm!"

In the carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hindering people's financial path is like killing their parents. Once refined salt is launched, it will definitely stimulate salt merchants in the southeast."

"And the salt merchants in the southeast have colluded with the Prime Minister and got involved in the fight for the crown prince... Haha, this is really interesting!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and suddenly his face straightened.

"Even so, I still want to promote refined salt. Although this move may bring turmoil, in the long run, no matter who it is, eradicating the southeastern salt merchants will be a good thing!"

After silently strengthening his determination, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly thought of King Jinling again.

Hehe laughed and said: "The Southeast Salt Merchant and the Prime Minister are really blind. How could they choose someone like the King of Jinling?"

"Prince Jinling... seems to have a problem in his head and is easily deceived by others. Could it be..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked, vaguely and vaguely, he seemed to be aware of a big conspiracy!

"Yu Gong, in order for the people in the world to eat cheap refined salt, and for the sake of food and salary for the Chen Kingdom's armies, refined salt should be promoted. Yu Private, by attacking the salt merchants in the southeast, it will cut off the King of Jinling's imperial path! He can also make a lot of money. pen. Therefore, refined salt should be promoted more."

"Then the King of Jinling has repeatedly provoked me. Does he think that I am made of clay?"

"Public or private, no matter from which aspect, this refined salt should be promoted..."

In the rickety carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking a lot and didn't know where he was thinking.

at the same time.

Guoxiangfu!
The Prime Minister, Li Zhong, opened the study door alone without his entourage.

He stepped into it with one step, turned back and closed the door tightly, pulled the bolt and locked the door.

Then, a bookshelf was pushed open, and with a clicking sound, the bookshelf moved, revealing a large hole in the back. It was so dark that it was impossible to see even one's fingers.

Li Zhong took the candlestick casually, and with the help of the flame as big as a bean, he slowly walked into the dark cave...

"How is the investigation going on that case? Is there any progress?"

There was some moisture in the dark basement, and there was the sound of water dripping.

A little bean lamp emitted a faint light, which was vaguely visible. There seemed to be a dark shadow deep in the front, and the light of the candle could not shine there.

In such a basement, Li Zhong's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the deathly silence, with a slight echo.

This scene is a bit like tomb robbers talking in a thousand-year-old tomb, which is terrifying.

"My lord, my subordinate has lived up to your lord's high expectations. There are already some clues about that matter!"

In the dark shadow in front of him, the man whose face could not be seen clearly seemed to have his hands cupped, his voice was dry and unpleasant, and he seemed to have a tumor in his throat. "What's the eyebrow?" Li Zhong asked.

"My lord's guess is not bad. After several investigations, my subordinates have roughly found out that Yu Lihua and Concubine You Gui are indeed suffering from... closed uterine syndrome! Infertility!"

The black shadow affirmed.

"Oh, that's true..."

In the shadow of the swaying candle, Li Zhong stood there.

Although he didn't move, his shadow reflected on the basement wall kept shaking and jumping.

"In addition, your Excellency has speculated that the current Crown Prince Liu Shen is the heir of the late Concubine Tang. He was adopted by Concubine You and not her biological child."

"Regarding this matter, my subordinates have also found some clues, which seem to confirm your conjecture!"

"But... Your Excellency, I have never been able to find any conclusive evidence to prove that Concubine You suffers from uterine occlusion syndrome, and that the current crown prince Liu Shen is the heir of Concubine Tang adopted by Concubine You..."

"Subordinates...incompetent..."

The black shadow trembled, as if thinking of the possible punishment.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay!"

However, Li Zhong had no intention of reprimanding or punishing him. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "It is not easy for you to track down these clues about such palace secrets!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The black shadow moved, and seemed to cup its hands again.

"This matter is of great importance. The truth here can provide you with some clues."

As Li Zhong spoke, he put his hand deep into his pocket and took out a package, which was wrapped in oil paper. It was not large and very thin.

Li Zhong handed over the oiled paper package.

The black figure paused for a moment, then finally moved forward.

He walked out of the darkness and came into the light world created by the bean candle.

But he still couldn't see the man's face clearly, because he was dressed in black and had a black cloth cloak on his head, which was completely covered, and his face couldn't be seen at all.

The man in black took the oiled paper package, then quickly retreated and disappeared into the darkness again.

"In this oil-paper package, there are clues about the imperial doctor's diagnosis of the demon concubine, and also clues about Wen Po who delivered the baby to the late Tang Guifei!" Li Zhong said.

"After you get these two clues, you should find these two people as soon as possible. They are witnesses!"

"Subordinates obey!"

"In addition, there may be clues to other physical evidence in this package. You should also track it down. It is best if the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, and the evidence is solid. By then, even if the demon concubine has a hundred mouths, she will not be able to argue! "Li Zhong said with a smile.

"Sir, I have a question... I know I shouldn't ask, but I still have the guts to ask. Maybe... this is also a clue." The black figure hesitated.

"what is the problem?"

"Sir, where did this oil paper package come from..."

"presumptuous!"

Li Zhong was furious and interrupted the man in black.

"My subordinates will die, please punish me!"

The man in black shook for a while, and it seemed that he knelt down directly.

"Hey, get up..." Li Zhong thought for a moment and then said: "This oil paper package comes from the palace. You only need to know this. Okay, get out of here!"

"Subordinates obey!"

The shadow man left, following a dark passage and leaving the basement.
