The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1689 Zhao Xu goes to Yangzhou

"Is this true? Zhao Lin still had such things in Southern Tang. This is also an important reason why you asked me to investigate the tax bank case?"

Zhao Xu held a memorial in his hand, which was sent through a special channel. Except for Zhao Kuangyin who could see it, no one else knew about it.

"This is all news from my secret thread. Although he is also my son, if what is said above is true, then he will also be punished. The reason why I let you go is to see if it is true. Yes, I don't want to make Jingniang sad.

What is recorded here is the evidence of Zhao Lin's crimes in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although he did not bully men and women, it is more serious than this. He has violated the national law. According to the criminal law of the Song Dynasty, he should be beheaded.

Because he is the emperor's son, the local officials didn't dare to do anything to him. They could only let him do evil. No one would have thought that Zhao Kuangyin still had hidden clues. Now Zhao Kuangyin told Zhao Xu, and at the same time told Zhao Xu that this was one of them. One of the reasons why he was asked to investigate the tax bank case was that he had to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the tax bank case, because when the tax bank was discovered, the most original information was still there.

"What if it's true? Are you really punished according to the law?" Zhao Xu felt that the above should be true. This Zhao Lin is also courageous enough, which is enough for him to die a few times.

"I indulged Guangyi at the time, so that so many things were caused later, and what Manichaism even came out. If Zhao Lin really did this thing this time, let's deal with it according to the law for a long time. Our royal family does not follow the law. Law, do you still expect the people of the world to abide by the law?"

Zhao Kuangyin left, his back was so bleak, after all, his son was involved, Zhao Kuangyin actually knew what should be true, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Are you going to Jiangnan? Although this matter is a big one, you can't let you investigate it yourself?" When Zhao Xu returned to the East Palace, Gao Guiying and the others started asking. It's a bit strange not to ask the prince of Song Dynasty to investigate.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore. I have important things to do where I go. I went to inspect some places by the way. This investigation of the tax bank is just a way. I have been doing nothing since I have been back to Bianjing for so long. It is good to go to relax. Don't think about following me, I can't take you away."

Zhao Xu has been vaccinated first, so he can't take them with him. They have nothing to do in Bianjing, so they must go with them. Zhao Xu really doesn't want to take them with him, because if they go with them, other things will definitely happen!

"You have a lot of things to do in Bianjing. Our Dasong Bank and the Dasong Daily need someone to look at them. These are all left to you. Although it belongs to the court, it is also ours. It has always been You are looking after, so you should be honest and look after the house, besides, Zhonger and his brothers just got married, you take good care of these two bastards, let me hug my grandson as soon as possible."

In the end, these people finally decided not to follow Zhao Xu under Zhou's persuasion, and Zhao Xu also went to see Xiaobai, that is, Zhao Mengru. What, if you are not awake, you are in a vegetable state.

"I don't know when you will be able to wake up, but I know you will be able to wake up. You can survive a thousand years. I believe you don't care about this little time. I didn't expect you to be by my side all the time. For ten years, you were by my side but didn't know it was you, it was the greatest cruelty to me."

Xiaobai has been by Zhao Xu's side for ten years and can often see her, but Zhao Xu doesn't know that she is Zhao Mengru, and Xiaobai herself doesn't know that she is Zhao Mengru, and I'm afraid she doesn't know until now. , still not sober, Zhao Xu left after looking at her for a while, he couldn't stay here forever, it was time for him to leave.

The tax money should be lost in the south, because when the tax money is found missing, it should be checked from where. Zhao Xu has already arranged that he will check it from both the light and the dark, that is, open and unannounced visits.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xu went to Yangzhou in person first, put on a banner, and went along the road with great fanfare. It seemed very ostentatious, letting everyone know that Zhao Xu had come to investigate the case of the tax bank.

This was to attract everyone's attention, which was not Zhao Xu's purpose. Zhao Xu focused on the dark line.

The unannounced visit to this road is Su Yiwei, and they are now secretly investigating the streets and alleys of pig raising, water transport docks, and boatmen and trackers. According to the information obtained by the local officials, they have targeted contact with the three religions and nine streams to find clues to solve the case.

This is the most important part, no matter whether it is effective or not in the end, this is the most important part, and Lianwei has already set off under the leadership of Liu Qinhu. As for why it is not Dong Zhenhai, this is also easy to explain. People are too obvious, people can remember him at a glance, isn't this revealing his identity in advance?
Zhao Xu took the canal and went straight south, Dong Zhenhai was by his side to protect him, and there were hundreds of officials on top, all of whom came to help Zhao Xu, and these people also enjoyed it, and they were willing to help.

The canal is very different from the past. The patrol boats on the river here are like weaving.

All the big ships were inspected very carefully, even the big ships full of grain and the salt ships. The soldiers also took thin iron chisels and poked around in the grain, apparently looking for stolen tax money.

Although it is not necessarily lost in Yangzhou, but it is not unprepared, so the slack water inspection in the past has begun. No one dares to relax during this period of time. The imperial court has sent a prince to take full charge of the matter. There must be no more accidents.

Although it may not be effective, this action is always necessary. All cargo ships that pass by the water must be strictly investigated when they reach a certain size. The water bandits on the water have also become more honest during this period. If you get caught, you won't be able to get out this time. The imperial court played it for real this time.

"The boat over there, stop and check!" Just as Zhao Xu was looking at the boats coming and going on the water, he heard someone shouting for them to stop.

This is a small boat driving over, on which is the navy of Song Dynasty, and the soldiers are fully armed and looking at the boat where Zhao Xu is on guard.

Zhao Xu's boat was a bit big. After all, there were so many people, such a boat was easy to be noticed.
