Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 731 The Origin of the Empress

Shen Xiao's shameless appearance simply made Yin Tao amazed.

he really...

Yin Tao felt that she couldn't find a word in her inexhaustible language pool to describe his face at this moment.

Simply turn your back on him and ignore him. Silence is the best form of contempt.

Shen Xiao knew that Yin Tao was angry, but he was not in a hurry, he just said slowly: "Treasure Island has a clue."

really.

Xiao Taozi turned around and looked at him with crooked eyebrows: "Really?"

Shen Xiao put his hands under his head, squinted at Yin Tao who was turning around, and the corners of his lips curled up triumphantly: "Why are you lying to me!"

"Where is Treasure Island?" Yin Tao asked quickly.

"It should be on the island of the Guizuka family." Shen Xiao said, Yin Tao arched into his arms, pulled out his arms and put them under his neck, looked up at him eagerly.

"The island of the Guizuka family... so what should we do? If we go to fight the Guizuka family now, can we take it down?"

"I've raised them for so long and can't even take down a Japanese bandit island, so they'll all die in the line of duty, and it's a waste of food to live!" Shen Xiao said ruthlessly.

"What you said makes sense!" Yin Tao agreed.

"It's just that it's easy to take it down, but it's hard to occupy it for a long time. After all, that island is too close to Wa Island." Shen Xiao said, so this matter needs to be well arranged.

"But if there is really Treasure Island there, so close to Wa Island, I don't know if I can hold it if I don't open the mine. If I open the mine..." The mining movement is even bigger, and I can't hide it from the Wa Island people. The power of the whole country came to encircle and kill them, no matter how strong their soldiers were, they could not resist them.

"Don't worry, this matter should be considered in the long term." Shen Xiao said, "Go to sleep."

Yin Tao didn't really want to sleep, she moved around and wanted to talk about Treasure Island, but Shen Xiao said: "Don't want to sleep? Then let's do something else, why don't I go get the whip?"

Yin Tao: ...

sleep!

Yin Tao, who thought she couldn't sleep, closed her eyes and snored less than 3 minutes later. Shen Xiao kissed her fondly, hugged her for a while, and then carefully got up from the bed and went to the study.

There are many people waiting for him in the study.

He is on the island these days, but some old ministries have been contacted one after another, and more than half of his former power has returned to his hands.

"This subordinate has seen the prince!" The middle-aged men in the study were very excited when they saw Shen Xiao. They are the fourth of Qin Mandrill's eight King Kongs, namely Shi Hao, Meng Chao, Li Zhaowu and Ge Li. .

Shen Xiao didn't wear a mask, he already planned to show his true face to others in the future.

Shen Xiao's expression was cold, and he swept the crowd coldly: "The traitor came from among you, which is why this king only asked Chi Xiao to bring the four of you to the island this time.

Now, this king can only trust you.

I hope you will not disappoint me! "

The four were horrified when they heard this, Chi Xiao just contacted them secretly and took them away without telling them about the traitor.

Shi Hao said in disbelief: "Traitor... Is there anyone else besides Jikong?"

Meng Chao gritted his teeth: "When we find out who it is, I will tear him into pieces!"

"My lord, Lao Tian, ​​Lao Jia and the others... really some of them betrayed the lord?" Ge Li was like Shi Hao, and he couldn't believe his ears. The eight of them were known as the Eight Great King Kong. With the grace of supporting and nurturing, he always thought that the eight of them were all the same, and would be willing to die for the prince.

Li Zhaowu looked ferocious: "Hmph, let me just say why the prince disappeared suddenly. If one of us hadn't betrayed the prince, who would have the ability to put the prince in a dangerous situation that will never be restored?"

"Everyone get up and talk!" Shen Xiao said, "Shi Hao is fully responsible for the traitor's matter, and this king will send someone to assist you in the secret investigation."

Shi Hao clasped his fists in response: "This subordinate takes orders."

"Ge Li immediately went to Yingshan and kept an eye on the border. Without my order, no matter what problems occur at the border, you don't want to interfere. By the way... keep an eye on the Tian Xiao Army.

This king reckons... besides this king's life, the traitor also wants Tian Xiao Army! "

Ge Li: "Yes! My lord!"

"Li Zhaowu went to Xishan to watch..."

"Meng Chao stayed to assist this king..."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Chi Xiao!" Shen Xiao called Chi Xiao after finishing his orders: "Give them the roster." In the roster were the spies next to the four of them.

After the few people took the roster, their faces changed drastically. They didn't expect that their side had already been infiltrated.

"Go back and deal with these people, don't worry about scaring the snake." Shen Xiao said indifferently, he had already narrowed the scope to the minimum, and now this move is to force the traitor to jump over the wall.

Or force the emperor to jump over the wall in a hurry and kill people to silence him.

The emperor didn't even think about it, does Qin Mandrill need convincing evidence?He is no longer a Mingjun, but the Qingtian master who judges the case fairly.

He is the mighty Duan Wang Qin Mandrill who no one cares about, as long as he thinks it will be fine.

he thought.

he thinks.

That's it.

"Yes, my lord!" Several people responded one after another, their backs were covered with cold sweat while excited.

"Shi Hao, tell me about what this king asked you to investigate last time, do you have any clues?" Shen Xiao's eyes fell on Shi Hao, the head of the Eight King Kong, Qin Mandrill's intelligence leader Shi Hao cupped his hands and said: "My lord, It has been found out that the latest salt and iron smuggler in Daliang belongs to the empress, and it is the emperor who supports the empress."

"To allow the empress to engage in smuggling...what does the emperor want to do?" Li Zhaowu asked in surprise, "Is he going to allow the empress to buy and sell officials?"

Shen Xiao didn't speak, Shi Hao answered, he said with a mocking smile: "You are right, you bastard, the empress is indeed selling official positions, because all the positions she sells are vain, and all the money goes into the emperor's private treasury, so The emperor is also manipulating her in secret.

The emperor may not know that the queen extended her hand to the officials in this way, and gradually controlled the officials..."

"Furthermore, this group of people who spent money to buy vain positions have entered the officialdom, and after entering the officialdom, they have entered the assessment system of the Ministry of Officials, and they can be slowly transferred to important positions." Shi Hao added.

"Fuck! Is the emperor a fool?" Li Zhaowu swears, "At the beginning..." The two of them just said it, but they were stopped by a few sharp eyes.

Everyone knows that the emperor's throne was given up by their prince.

"Everything in this world has a bottom line. The former emperor was fatuous and extravagant, and broke the bottom line in his licentiousness, so the country perished."

"Now Xiao Yan is also breaking through the bottom line, smuggling salt and iron, and selling official positions... Once this hole is opened, Daliang will soon fall into the situation of the former court."

The empress took the lead in smuggling salt and iron, so the imperial court should suppress this area or not. If not, it would only encourage more people to devote themselves to the crazy smuggling business.

The same is true for buying and selling official positions. Once this opening is opened, the administration of officials will no longer be clear.

Shen Xiao pondered for a moment, then he looked up at Shi Hao: "What's the queen's origin?"
