Raid

Chapter 157 Examination
In fact, the Holy Majesty didn't say that, the eldest princess also has the power to control the inner guard.Holding the Scarlet Heaven Sword in her hand, seeing it as if the emperor came in person, she already has the right to restrain herself.

Wu Yang's expression froze. Even so, the eldest princess hadn't intervened in the inner guard's affairs over the years, so he forgot about it.

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Li Shengxi knew that the beating was almost done, she raised her eyelids, and continued: "Tell me, what have you found these days?"

"I trust you because you and I have known each other for a long time. Since you trust Gu Liujin, then I will trust you too." Wu Yang glanced at Liujin, took out some brochures, and threw them to Li Shengxi .

Li Shengxi glanced at the booklet, picked up the pages, and flipped through them. After a while, she said: "This is the record of the ship merchants along the river, from the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

"It is very difficult for us to find the documents of the Jiangbei prefectures, so we can only start from our own country. I am Qu Zhili who is focusing on the investigation."

After all, although he did not have the deterrent power of the commander, the inner guard was independent from hundreds of officials in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and directly loyal to the Holy Majesty.

After all, he is the second in command of the inner guard, so what's the difficulty in obtaining the documents from the Southern Jin Dynasty?
In fact, he should have been in the Southern Jin Dynasty at this time, because he suspected Qu Zhili, so naturally he wanted to attack Qu Zhili.Qu Zhili has been staying in Southern Jin Dynasty since the last incident, so he is naturally also in Southern Jin Dynasty.

If it wasn't for the discovery of saltpeter, he would not have planned to come to Northern Qi.

Li Shengxi flipped through the booklet casually, "There are not many records about Qu Zhili in your booklet."

"Qu Zhili did not leak water, and then came back in a hurry because of an emergency. How could I find anything? It was just a matter of finding out that all the goods that Qu Zhili traveled to and from Hongyin first, and then went to various places in the south. He The goods are scattered widely, and there are no clues."

"That is to say, you found almost nothing?" Li Shengxi raised his eyebrows. Qu Zhili has developed along the Lijiang River recently, and the Qu family's family is located in Hongyin. It can be said that Wu Yang has almost found nothing.

Even if Qu Zhili kept to himself and never did anything, it is not surprising that he is in Hongyin.

But if Qu Zhili did something, then it meant that the prefect of Hongyin was weird.

The magistrate of Hongyin... Shen Jichuan.

almost impossible.Although Shen Jichuan is not as close as Mu Jing and Xu Huanzhi to her.But Shen Jichuan is her cousin.

Northern Qi has been established for a long time, and there are quite a few people who can call her "cousin", but "cousin" also depends on the distance of the relationship.

It so happened that Shen Jichuan was one of her closest cousins.Shen Jichuan's aunt is the mother of her and her elder brother, Empress Shen of the late emperor.

Although she and this second cousin are not very close, but after the elder brother came to power, there are many Jiaen Shens, and the uncle with mediocre qualifications is now the Duke of Jue Lieping, and even holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.The second cousin with even more mediocre qualifications is now not only the prince of Pingguo, but also the magistrate of Hongyin. As long as he does not cause major troubles, the court would not dare not give him an "excellent" performance appraisal.

It can be said that as long as the Shen family lives in peace, it will be enough for a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.

Shen Jichuan was crazy to get involved in this matter.

Moreover, Shen Jichuan had no big ambitions, if it was her eldest cousin Shen Jize who died young, she would have some confidence.

"Of course not!" Wu Yang retorted loudly, and he said angrily, "Although no one was found in the Southern Jin side, the Northern Qi side did."

"Ok?"

"The Southern Jin bought weapons from the Northern Qi people, but have you ever thought about where the weapons in the Southern Jin people's hands come from?"

Li Shengxi raised his eyes and signaled Wu Yang to continue.

"There are only two situations. One is that someone in the Southern Jin Dynasty made weapons privately, and the other is that the military sells them. But no matter what the situation is, this person must be a high-ranking and powerful person. Otherwise, this business cannot be negotiated."

"That's natural. How can you be an ordinary person who can quietly smuggle these things without being noticed and discovered."

"Don't you feel familiar?" Wu Yang asked, and before Li Shengxi could speak, he continued, "It's all covering the sky with one hand, and they are all transporting things that shouldn't be transported."

"You mean, the people who did business with the Southern Jin Dynasty were the same group as the people who blew up the dams. Do you doubt the Zhou family?" The Zhou family also has this possibility, whether it is privately casting weapons or privately selling military supplies, Zhou's Everyone has this ability.

The reason why Li Shengxi wanted to follow Rong Zhi was to check the accounts of the state capitals under the guise of checking the saltpetre incident.

Most of An Xia's accounts are with her, and there is no clue yet.Perhaps it was because Anxia was hit by a flood and some ledgers were lost.She is still investigating.

"But this is just speculation." Li Shengxi said again, this is different from saltpeter, which was smelled by another spy on Zhou's boat.

"Of course I won't aim indiscriminately." Wu Yang emphasized dissatisfiedly, and he continued: "I checked Qu Zhili's contacts with Bei Qi, and there are quite a few people who do business with him, but among them, he and a man named Honghuai merchants had the most contacts, accounting for nearly [-]%. Moreover, among the merchants in the southern part of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although this merchant named Honghuai was not the richest, he loved doing business with the Southern Jin people the most. Naturally, in Among the merchants in the Southern Jin Dynasty, Qu Zhili also had the most contacts with him."

"What's the origin?" It still sounds like a coincidence, but Li Shengxi never believed in a coincidence that happened to someone he already suspected.

"This person was once a slave of the Zhou family."

Li Shengxi's gaze suddenly froze.

"And his boat is very difficult to get close to. I tried to fish in troubled waters several times but failed. I tried many times, but I never boarded the boat." Wu Yang's martial arts can be said to be the best among the inner guards. He may have a bad temper, but There is absolutely no doubt about his ability. "After many days of investigation, I managed to find out one thing - the waterline of Hong Huai's boat is not right. There is probably something on his boat."

Li Sheng raised his head, "You are a businessman, so you have some contacts with Hong Huai, right? What kind of person is Hong Huai?"

"If you can be favored by the Zhou family, you will naturally not be an ordinary person. Although the Ning family has an intersection, but the intersection is not deep. If you rush to show courtesy, Hong Huai will be suspicious."

"So, you are so useless?" Li Shengxi raised his eyebrows.

"Naturally impossible." Wu Yang retorted, he sighed, "There is no chance, just create one. It's a pity that Rong Zhi came to Anxia, ​​which is a bit troublesome."

After Wu Yang finished speaking, his eyes stared at Li Shengxi fiercely, with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.

"Ning Rushuang, you use Qu Yingxiao's skin to make friends with Rong Zhi, and you do these unnecessary things. Have you forgotten your identity?"
