Dad, Did You Study Today?

Looking at Kou Rong's reaction, Shen Li was very satisfied.

"Now, can you tell me?"

Kou Rong was trembling with fear. She looked at Shen Li as if she was looking at an evil ghost, "How do you know? How do you know?"

Shen Li curled his lips, "As long as I want to know, there is nothing I don't know. Don't worry, Shi Yuexin is your biological daughter, or someone else's biological daughter, as long as she doesn't threaten me or your majesty, her life is not a nuisance to me, but..."

But what, Shen Li didn't say, but it was enough to make Kou Rong tremble.

"What do you want to know?"

"All."

After a long silence, Kou Rong exhaled.

"That map is indeed a map of the whole palace, which marks all the secret passages and all the military deployments in the palace.

I got this from Beiyan a month ago.

This map is divided into two parts. The one hanging in the academy is the bottom of the map. It also has a top. Only by combining the bottom and the top can we see the whole picture of the palace city from this landscape painting.

Unfortunately, I haven't found the top so far.

How did you find it?"

"This is not what you need to care about." Shen Li said with a cold face, "What news did the Prince of Ning's Mansion get that made him go to the academy to get this painting in person?"

Kou Rong was stunned, obviously knowing nothing about the actions of the Prince of Ning's Mansion.

She shook her head gently, "I don't know. After I was arrested, the county government handed me over to you, and I didn't have a chance to contact him."

Shen Li believed this.

"What is the Prince of Ning's Mansion going to do?"

Kou Rong suddenly smiled, "Don't you know what he is going to do?"

This rhetorical question made Shen Li's heart jump.

Ning Wang, he has always known what the Prince of Ning's Mansion is going to do.

I just didn't expect them to act so quickly.

Over the years, the emperor has always focused on the Duke of Zhenguo and ignored Prince Ning.

Shen Li clenched his fist and said, "What else did they do?"

Kou Rong shook her head, "I only participated in this painting. For the rest, do you think he would let me know too much?"

"Why did you collude with them?"

"Once it's done, my Miaojiang can be exempted from taxes for three years."

This reason made Shen Li stunned, and he looked at Kou Rong in surprise.

Kou Rong had a faint bitter smile on her lips, "Are you surprised? People all say that the current emperor is benevolent and generous, and is a wise ruler who is hard to come by in a thousand years, but do you know how the Miao people live?

No clothes to cover the body, no food to eat, no place to live.

This is my Miao.

Yes, there are indeed many villains in my Miao who have caused chaos in the court. Their crimes are extremely heinous and unforgivable, but are these villains only found in Miao?

There are good and bad people in every ethnic group and even in every region.

Even those loyal ministers in the court who were personally selected by the emperor, are they just... No one is guilty of a heinous crime?

Why can other places enjoy the people-friendly policies, but when it comes to Miaojiang, Your Majesty wants to knock everyone down with one stick?

There are not only black Miao in Miaojiang, but also green Miao, flower Miao, and white Miao. They never harm people. They are ordinary people with flesh and blood and children, just like all of you.

They don't know how to use witchcraft or insect poison, but they know how to use medicine and herbal medicine.

Just because there are a few scums among the black Miao in Miaojiang, do they deserve to be labeled as evil people and poisonous people? "

Kou Rong stared at Shen Li and asked bitterly.

Shen Li had no expression on his face, "Then do you know why Your Majesty treats Miaojiang differently?"

"Hmph!" Kou Rong snorted coldly with resentment in her eyes.

"Your Majesty is like the scorching sun overhead, but no matter how scorching the sun is, there are also darkness that it cannot shine on, and there are also nights that it cannot reach.

Therefore, local officials are set up in various places. Every year, the layout of the government and the arrangements of various places are uniformly dispatched by local officials after they report back at the end of the year. "

Kou Rong's expression changed slightly.

"Miaojiang official, Fang Nianhui, you only know that he is an official arranged by the court. Do you know what position he held before going to Miaojiang?

He was the left chancellor of the Zhanshi Mansion during the previous emperor's period."

The Zhanshi Mansion is an institution that specializes in serving the Eastern Palace.

Of course, Kou Rong knew this.

The left chancellor of the Zhanshi Mansion during the previous emperor's period naturally assisted the prince during the previous emperor's period.

The prince during the previous emperor's period.

The current Prince of Ning!

A feeling of anger at being played with surged from Kou Rong's heart, "You are talking nonsense! If Fang Nianhui was the former left chancellor of the Zhanshi Mansion, how could the emperor agree."

Shen Li interrupted Kou Rong unceremoniously, "You are a dying person, is it worth me to lie to you?"

Kou Rong looked at Shen Li.

It seemed as if he didn't expect that he was going to die.

Shen Li sneered: "Why? Do you have any other use value for me to keep you and let you live to see Shi Yuexin get married and have children?"

Shen Li mentioned Shi Yuexin again, and Kou Rong trembled all over again.

This is her only weakness.

She knew, of course, that Shen Li was not just saying this casually, he was threatening her.

But she was threatened.

"I fed Xu Lingtao the poisonous insect."

"The fat man?"

"Yes."

Anyone who was specifically named by Kou Rong must be worthy of a name.

"Who is he?"

"The only son of Xu Ningyuan of the Northwest Army."

Xu Ningyuan.

The military power of our dynasty is divided into three parts.

The Zhenshuo Army in the hands of Zhen Guogong, the Northwest Army in the hands of Xu Ningyuan, and the Hui Army in the hands of Hu Da.

The overt and covert struggles between these three parties, not to mention the Duke of Zhenguo, and the emperor have long been known to both the government and the public.

Xu Ningyuan is a man with strong fighting ability and unique thinking. He is only loyal to the earth under his feet, but not to the monarch of the court.

Whether Prince Ning is the emperor or His Majesty is the emperor, it is the same to him.

As long as the people in the northwest area where he is stationed are happy.

The Hui army in Huda's hands is now His Majesty's confidant army, and can be regarded as a direct force.

But now, Kou Rong has poisoned Xu Lingtao, Xu Ningyuan's son. Once Xu Lingtao dies in his hands, he will be tightly tied to His Majesty.

Shen Li couldn't help but sweat broke out on his vest.

Kou Rong stared at Shen Li and suddenly smiled.

"Can I save my life with this bargaining chip? If you keep me, Xu Lingtao can live. Of course, if I die, Xu Lingtao will be buried with him. After all, I certainly won't detoxify him all at once."

Shen Li did not answer Kou Rong's words and only said: "Since you are working for Prince Ning, why do you need to cause such a scene today?"

Kou Rong stared at Shen Li and suddenly smiled.

"They say the shadow leader is very clever. Why, you can't even understand this?"

Shen Li didn't answer.

Kou Rong paused for a moment and said: "The opening of the hot pot restaurant has caused a stir in the city. Once Xu Ningyuan's son dies here, and you, there are not a few people who know that you are in Pingzhou. Pingzhou is close to Qinghe County. You What do you think Xu Ningyuan would think?

It just so happened that Dou Miao wanted to take revenge on Zhou Huaishan, so she gave me this opportunity. "

Shen Li felt cold sweat dripping down his spine.

Kou Rong gritted his teeth, "It's only my fault that the girl in the hot pot restaurant was so vicious that she let someone arrest me, otherwise"

Kou Rong's words suddenly stopped and he stared at Shen Li sharply, "Are you in the same group as that girl?"

Shen Li refused to comment.

It has to be said that the arrest of Song Qi last time and Kou Rong this time would not have gone so smoothly if Zhou Qing had not made a mistake.

Or maybe it's another situation.

"What about Dou Miao and Wang De?"

"Wang De is from Prince Ning. As for Dou Miao, he is just a fool."

"In addition to Wang De, Prince Ning should have placed his own people in many academies, right?"

If there is a Wang De, there can be a Li De, Zhao De and Song De.

"As expected of the Commander-in-Chief of Shadows!"

Kou Rong's compliment made Shen Li sweat in his heart.

If there are people from Prince Ning in academies all over the world, then Prince Ning will rebel and be beautified by scholars all over the world.

No, he must return to Beijing immediately.
