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

Chapter 281 Untie the belt, the truth about minerals in Shu

Jiang Shishi: "."

The man's hot palm wrapped around Jiang Shishi's hand, and even the strong body stuck to her back was terribly hot.

She looked back at the man. In the dark night, she saw the man's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and she also saw the blazing flames in the man's eyes.

Jiang Shishi knew that he was a normal man with normal needs.

Thinking of the horrible scene I saw when I bumped into a man changing clothes last time, as long as she is not allowed to sleep, I can say anything.

So, under the guidance of the man, Jiang Shishi slowly eased off the man's jade belt.

After a long time, Huang Dechang, who was watching the night outside, heard a low growl from the inner room. He was so startled that he looked back at the closed room, his eyes almost fell out.

However, the room was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

After a while, Huang Dechang heard the crown prince calling him, so he opened the door and went in, "What is your Highness' order?"

Pei Xuanling: "Bring in a basin of warm water."

"Yes." Soon, Huang Dechang brought a basin of warm water in, and after putting the warm water beside the bed, he withdrew again.

After Huang Dechang went out, Pei Xuanling got out of bed and lit the lamp, and personally handed the basin of warm water to the woman.

Jiang Shishi sat on the bed and rubbed her sore arms. She first glanced at the man sadly, and then washed her hands well with the basin of warm water.

**
At the beginning of September, before any news came from Zhao Zhifu, the prince found out the truth himself.

As for Zhifu Zhao, he had no hope at all.

At this moment, Pei Xuanling was processing official documents in the guest room.

Jiang Shishi sat aside, helping the man grind.

At this time, Huang Dechang came in with a stack of letters.

"Your Highness, about the iron mine, our disciples in Sichuan helped to find out. The mine is so big, it stands to reason that it should be recorded in the local government, and the annual mine production should be reported to the imperial court, but the mine is not It is not recorded in the government, but a black mine."

"The reason why several mine owners in the mine arrest people to do coolies there is to save wages and to avoid people's eyes and ears."

If you pay someone to go to the mine to mine, the locals will know that the mine is not owned by the government.

Arresting people to do coolies, you can only get in and out, and the news will not flow out.

Pei Xuanling stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "Did you find those mine owners?"

"According to your instructions, the slave had someone follow that Mrs. Pang. Sure enough, he found the head of the mine, and followed the head to the houses of the other heads."

"Also, our people followed these lines and found several mines under the names of these mine owners, including several copper mines and iron mines. However, according to them, those mines It's just recorded in their names, and the money they earn doesn't belong to them, their real livelihood is to let Taoist priests cheat and make money in Shu."

Jiang Shishi: "." After saying that, she understood.

It's no wonder that those mine owners put a lot of money away and cheated to make money in Sichuan. If they were involved in the mines, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?
The silver earned by co-authoring the mine has nothing to do with them!

"Is the person who really owns the mine the one Gu guessed before?" Pei Xuanling asked lightly.

"Your Highness, it is the King of Shu that you guessed." Huang Dechang handed several letters to the crown prince, "These letters are all local officials colluding with the King of Shu, and Zhifu Zhao is one of them. In addition, there are large and small mines that the king of Shu has named in various places."

The King of Shu put the name of the mine on those few mine owners, and those mine owners relied on the King of Shu, wantonly robbed the women of the people, and cheated among the people, which was considered mutual benefit.

As for those officials, the king of Shu would buy them off with money every year.

Pei Xuanling looked at the contents of the letter, and among those officials colluding with the King of Shu, some of them were his free-range followers!
After reading the letter, Pei Xuanling put it away, "Huang Dechang, since this matter has been clarified, let the people below pack their bags and leave Shu today."

His father asked him to find out why the output of the mines in Shu was getting lower year by year. Now that he has found out, he can do business.

At that time, he will report the details here to his father, and his father and the court will deal with the King of Shu and those officials who colluded with the King of Shu.

Although he is a prince, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. The king of Shu has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Even if he didn't threaten the king of Shu, maybe the king of Shu would take his life for the sake of King Mu's party.

Not to mention that he has the handle of the King of Shu in his hand. If the King of Shu is pushed into a hurry, the King of Shu may jump over the wall in a hurry and do anything.

Hearing that the crown prince was about to leave, Jiang Shishi asked: "Your Highness, since you let the people below you to find out what happened, why did you make a trip to Shu in person?"

"Even if my father is far away in the capital, he can find out these things, but he still sent me to Shu to investigate the matter secretly." Pei Xuanling began to tidy up the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table, "Because, my father only has one pair of eyes, and a pair of eyes." Ears, although some things can be checked by the people below, they may not be the real situation."

"Take the disciples I arranged in Shu as an example. Currently, [-]% of the disciples have colluded with the King of Shu. If I hadn't come to Shu for a visit and learned about the local mines and government, I would have asked them to help I'll investigate, I'm afraid they will collude with the King of Shu, and the truth will be whitewashed by them."

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi nodded, "I understand."

"By the way, Your Highness, now that we are leaving Shu, what should we do with that old Taoist priest?" Huang Dechang asked as he cleared the table.

"It's useless for us to keep that kind of old thing." Pei Xuanling said decisively: "At a young age, my heart is broken, and I'm almost alive. Don't let him harm her again."

Although the old Taoist priest was not the mastermind, it was for money that he harmed those girls from good families.

If the local government has something to do, he will just let the old Taoist priest be handed over to the government.

It happened that the local government was helping the tyrant, so he had no choice but to deal with the old Taoist priest directly.

"Yes, the slave will have him dealt with in a while." Huang Dechang understood that His Highness wanted to kill the old Taoist priest, "Where are the mine owners and the rest of the Taoist temples?"

Pei Xuanling: "These people will definitely be dealt with, but not now."

Now that these people are backed by the king of Shu, it will be very troublesome to deal with them.

This time the king of Shu privately swallowed the local mines, the father will definitely punish the king of Shu.

At that time, he will let the King of Shu and others be wiped out!
On that day, the prince and the others finished their work and packed their bags. It was already afternoon.

The crowd left Shu in the afternoon, and at dusk they rushed to the gate of the closed city and left through the main gate.

Not long after leaving the city gate, the sky gradually darkened.

After about a stick of incense, Jiang Shishi was thinking about how to help the prince avoid disaster when the carriage stopped suddenly.

"What's going on?" Pei Xuanling asked loudly.

Huang Dechang replied with a sharp voice: "Your Highness, we were blocked by a group of people."
