Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 52 Shangyuan Palace Intervenes

Wang Mang didn't care if Qingde Square collapsed, but if the Gambling Stone Square that took shelter of Qingde Square collapsed, then Wang Mang would care.

With the bug of Dahei who can smell the smell of spirit stones, Wang Mang has made the Gambling Stone Workshop his own cash machine, especially now that he has money, no matter how expensive the stones are, as long as the spirit stones are good enough, then Just one word, buy!

But now the news that Qingde Square has collapsed, Wang Mang is very concerned about it.

Zhang Jian also heard the news that the emperor had made a lot of money gambling in Shifang a few days ago, so he was not surprised to hear the anxiety in Wang Mang's words. Although he felt a little regretful, he was still honest. Said: "From now on, the Gambling Stone Square has also collapsed."

"Where are the stones in the stone workshop?" Wang Mang asked again.

"This..." Zhang Jian turned his head to look at Wang Qinian, the commander of the Army and Horse Division.

Wang Qinian immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have been cleaning up all night, but I haven't found any spirit stone materials from the Gambling Stone Workshop at the scene, and there are some jade materials. In addition, the person in charge of Qingde Workshop and Gambling Stone Workshop has not been found at the scene. Or the corpse of the person in charge, the only corpses that have been cleaned up are some service personnel from Liangfang.”

"Then, are the beds in Qingdefang and Gambling Stonefang strange?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed. Judging from Wang Qinian's words, the high-level executives in Qingdefang and Gambling Stonefang may have been there long before the gambling workshop collapsed. left the scene.

"Yes." Lin Guodong also stood up and said, "The yamen servants in the minister's yamen searched around the capital, and found that Qingde Square closed its business last night because of internal renovations, so there were no gamblers at the scene."

"It seems that they have been prepared for a long time." Wang Mang has realized at this time that Fang Qiu, Fang Xizhi, Qingdefang, and the mysterious man in white robe are all characters and things on a certain line of a certain mysterious force.

Now Fang Xizhi, the leading figure on this line, was arrested by himself. In order to prevent Fang Xizhi from talking nonsense, he not only silenced Fang Xizhi, but also destroyed Qingdefang overnight.

Looking at it now, I am afraid that Qingdefang is not a simple force. It is rumored that Qingdefang and Dushifang are two, and it may be a misinformation.

And this strength has sacrificed so much, I am afraid that the picture is not small.

Wang Mang had a faint sense of urgency in his heart. He felt that if he moved Fang Xizhi rashly, he might disrupt the arrangement of some forces.

And this force will never let it go, I am afraid that I will inevitably have to deal with this force in the future.

"My minister requests a thorough investigation of all court officials and merchants related to Qingdefang." Li Si suddenly kowtowed and said, "I am confident that I will be able to catch this power by following the vine."

After Li Si kowtowed, other ministers realized that they originally planned to take the blame on the white-robed man Lin Guodong visited, but now they found that there was a better, more conspicuous, and more motivated object in the capital to take the blame , immediately clamored for a thorough investigation of Qingde Fang.

In fact, these grown-ups were just talking and had no intention of taking action at all. They were indeed frightened by the movement last night.

A high-ranking official in the court, Zuo Shilang of the household department, a powerful figure in the capital, was killed as soon as he said he was killed, and then the perpetrator was Shi Shiran who killed more than a dozen people in the capital in a row. These people may not be eye-catching. But whoever is placed among the people in the capital is not a simple figure, and in the end even Qingdefang, the largest gambling house in the capital, was destroyed as soon as it was said to be destroyed.

The adults who have been pampered and pampered for a long time don't want to challenge such a force. They just want someone to take the blame. Qingde Fang stretched out his body, and naturally he will take the blame.

Then Qingdefang disappeared, and the person in charge of Qingdefang also ran away. There is no evidence for this matter.

Time can smooth everything out, and after a few years, who will remember this matter.

Of course, Wang Mang also understood the thoughts of these adults. In fact, for Wang Mang, this is a good way to solve the problem.

But if you do it according to the wishes of the ministers, what's the face of yourself as the emperor?

At this moment, Li Lan's expression changed suddenly, and then he quietly retreated out, looking at Deng Fang who was winking at him outside the study, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Eunuch Li, Miss Jinyu from Shangyuan Palace said that she came to deliver a edict to His Majesty on the orders of the Empress Dowager." Deng Fang said cautiously, "I don't dare to be self-reliant, so I had to come here to report."

Deng Fang has now been transferred to Wang Mang's study by Li Lan. He continues to go to court when he goes to court, and listens to it in the study at other times. It can be regarded as preparation for Deng Fang to take over his class.

Li Lan also knew that when she became a deacon and eunuch in the future, she would inevitably ask Deng Fang. After all, Deng Fang would be Wang Mang's life secretary in the future. .

So Li Lan hurriedly said: "Eunuch Deng, you don't have to be so polite, just report it directly if you have anything to do."

As he said that, he took Deng Fang into the study. Wang Mang naturally noticed the small movements of Li Lan and Deng Fang. Even if he knew that something happened, he heard Deng Fang's report and raised his eyebrows. What did Yuan Gong come out for, but after pondering for a while, he still summoned Jin Yu to the side room.

Jin Yu is just a palace maid, and the ministers in the study are discussing matters at the moment, so naturally they can't summon her in the study, so Wang Mang asked the ministers for leave and went to the concubine.

Jin Yu was still the same, although she didn't wear makeup, but she was as beautiful as before. She walked up to Wang Mang and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has a hand order for the servants to call into His Majesty's hands."

After finishing speaking, Jin Yu took out a roll of book pages from the sleeve cage and handed it to Li Lan who was standing beside her. Li Lan quickly took it and handed it to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang glanced at Jin Yu, then opened the page, and the words on the page fell into Wang Mang's eyes word by word. Wang Mang's eyes froze, his expression changed, and as soon as he closed the page, he looked at Jin Yu and said, "Does the Queen Mother have anything else to say?" Want you to bring it?"

"The Empress Dowager said that I hope Your Majesty will stop this matter." Jin Yu bowed and said, "This servant has already brought the order and words, and this servant will leave."

"En." Wang Mang nodded, waved his hand to signal Jin Yu to leave, and then unfolded the pages of the book, which read "Fang Xizhi and the forces behind Qingdefang are quite powerful, please be careful, Your Majesty!"

It seems that Shangguan Wan'er knows which forces are involved behind Fang Xizhi and Qingdefang, and even Shangguan Wan'er knows who did this at all, otherwise, either Shangguan Wan'er has something to do with this force, or It was this force that made the forces behind Shangguan Wan'er very afraid.

And no matter what is behind this matter, it is very interesting for Shangyuan Palace to intervene in this matter!
Looking at the words on the page, Wang Mang seemed to see the colorless Empress Dowager Shangguan Wan'er again, and couldn't help smiling.

In the study room, all the ministers waited for Wang Mang to come out, guessing what happened in their hearts. They didn't believe that the emperor really went to change clothes, there must be something wrong, after not seeing what the two eunuchs Li Lan and Deng Fang said , the emperor went to change clothes.
