After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 275

"Enough is enough. I always only recognize the facts in my work, but it doesn't matter who the backer of your mine is!" Zhao Zhifu directly interrupted Pang's words, and said righteously: "The emperor's businessman who reported to the official today, don't care about you. Which mountain is the back of the mine, this official is still doing business!"

He also pointed at Pang's nose and cursed: "I tell you, the emperor broke the law, and he is the same as the common people. Don't think that your mines are rich and powerful, so you can ignore my royal law. Why, is the imperial court's law illegal?" Only set up for ordinary people?"

Because he was too excited when he spoke, Zhao Zhifu's old face flushed red.

Pang is not a fool either, she glanced at Pei Xuanling who was beside Zhifu Zhao, and saw that he was full of regalia.

Zhao Zhifu said that this is only the imperial merchant, but in fact, she doesn't pay much attention to the imperial merchant.

But being scolded by Zhifu Zhao, she suddenly became sober and became more cautious.

"Master Zhifu taught me a lesson. It is a woman with long hair and short knowledge. Please forgive me, Lord Zhifu." Pang quickly apologized.

Zhao Zhifu snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.

His carriage was parked nearby, Zhao Zhifu first said to Pei Xuanling: "Third Master, after this matter is clarified, I will send someone to the inn to deliver a message to you, you just wait at the inn."

"Then there is Lord Lao Zhifu." Pei Xuanling bowed to Zhao Zhifu.

Zhifu Zhao nodded slightly, and left in the carriage.

After Zhao Zhifu led the officers and soldiers away, Pei Xuanling first gave Huang Dechang a few words, and then he and Jiang Shishi also left the mine on horseback.

Yu Bing escorted the old Taoist priest and sat in another carriage, while Huang Dechang and others rode horses.

On the carriage, seeing Jiang Shishi's willow eyebrows slightly frowned, Pei Xuanling couldn't help asking: "Why, what do you think about this mine?"

"." Jiang Shishi nodded solemnly, "When I was talking to those miners before, I found that the prefect Zhao was wrong. Just now when I saw him talking to Mrs. Pang, I felt that something was wrong with him."

Pei Xuanling looked at the woman with a smile, "Tell me what's wrong with him."

Jiang Shishi: "Think about it. As the governor of Shu, the prefect Zhao is in charge of the government affairs of Shu. The miners would be happy to hear that the local prefect is here, because the prefect Zhao, as a parent official, will definitely make decisions for them."

"But when they heard that the prefect Zhao led people to inspect the mine, instead of being happy, he looked insensitive. Obviously, it was not the first time that the prefect Zhao led people to investigate the mine. Presumably the prefect Zhao was one of the government officials who were going through the motions in their mouths. .”

Even the largest local government has colluded with the mine, and it is conceivable that other government is not much better.

Even if there are so few who want to be officials, they will probably have to go down a crooked path under the pressure of a high-ranking official like Zhao Zhifu.

"." Pei Xuanling quietly listened to the woman's analysis, occasionally nodding to confirm her statement.

Jiang Shishi: "Aren't there several bosses in the mine? In such a huge mine, it's fine if one or two bosses are absent. If even one boss is absent, it's obvious that someone has tipped them off in advance.

"As for this visit to the mine, apart from our own people, only the local government knew about it. It is estimated that the prefect Zhao informed the mine owners."

"And that Mrs. Pang just now, she is just the concubine of one of the mine owners, so she dared to anger the prefect Zhao in public. In my opinion, either the prefect Zhao didn't take less benefits from the mine, or the backer behind the mine It is enough to make her not take Zhifu Zhao seriously."

Pei Xuanling: "."

Jiang Shishi: "The important point is that the magistrate Zhao reprimanded Mrs. Pang. Although what he said was righteous and selfless, he was actually reminding Mrs. Pang that your status is unusual, and Mrs. Pang is still smart. He changed his attitude and apologized to Zhifu Zhao."

At the end, Jiang Shishi pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course, this is just the opinion of a concubine."

"What you said is reasonable." Pei Xuanling said with certainty: "Gu and your thoughts are basically the same."

Long before he met Zhao Zhifu, he suspected that the local government was not doing anything.

Otherwise, the government would not allow Taoist priests to cheat and rob people's daughters in Shu.

Therefore, he deliberately reported to the government to test the government's response.

Unexpectedly, the local magistrate was directly scammed.

It stands to reason that, as an imperial merchant, it would not be so embarrassing for the magistrate to personally come forward to help him investigate the matter.

But Zhao Zhifu personally came forward, probably mainly because of the face of the mine.

Coupled with Zhao Zhifu's words and deeds when he searched the mine, he concluded that Zhao Zhifu was in collusion with the mine owner.

Jiang Shishi: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"Gu has sent someone to follow that lady Pang, to see if he can follow the clues, find those mine owners, and then find out the backers behind them."

Jiang Shishi: "And then?"

Pei Xuanling: "Then we can leave Sichuan, inspect the water conservancy in the next few areas, and return to Beijing!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi nodded thoughtfully.
Now that the lights are in the dark, the most urgent thing is to find an inn to rest.

Since I entered the city today, the inn must be out of order yesterday.

That night, the prince and others changed the inn.

The inn was found by Yu Bing and Huang Dechang. The two first explored the way ahead, and then led the way ahead.

Before going to the inn, Jiang Shishi found a bundle in the carriage.

Then, she lifted the curtain of the car and said to Huang Dechang: "Huang Dechang, this Sichuan is too chaotic. Not only do they like to rob women, but they also like to arrest strong men and go to the mines to do coolies. We still have to be careful at night."

Speaking of this, she threw the burden to Huang Dechang, "Here is an antidote that can cure the drug or sweating. You give each of them a few packs. The antidote is in the form of powder, one pack at a time. Once a day in the morning and evening, just take it with boiled water."

According to the book, shortly after the crown prince separated from Zhao Zhifu in the mine, half of the guards under him were drugged at night and tied up to other mines to do coolies.

And Yu Bing, like those innocent women, was taken to other Taoist temples and became a tool for Taoist priests to deceive.

According to the plot in the book, this happened tonight!
Therefore, before leaving the palace this time, she was ready to understand the medicine.

"Prefect Zhao has spoken out today. The owner of this mine is robbing the women of the people and will suspend work from now on. Presumably they will restrain themselves and stop arresting strong men for the time being?" Huang Dechang felt that there were so many of them. Afraid of being drugged?
It's just superfluous!
"Isn't that old Taoist priest already caught by us, and now he's in the carriage behind, what else is there to guard against?" Yu Bing on the side also said: "Besides, I and those powerless The girls are different, I am a martial artist, so I am not easily captured by them."
