Compared with a happy family reunion, the parents and sons of the Ye family, Mo Rong Zhan's new year's Eve was a bit less pleasant.
"Mother, why do you suddenly think of arranging your mother's family to Kyoto?" Mo Rong Zhan did not spend New Year's Eve with other concubines in the palace. Instead, he accompanied the Empress Dowager in the CI Ning palace with Mo Rong Yi brothers.
During the dinner, the Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned that she wanted to arrange all her parents in Weicheng to Kyoto. She had not seen her brothers and sisters for many years, and suddenly missed them.
Mo rongzhan was a little surprised by this requirement. He remembered that the Empress Dowager was not close to her parents at all. If the cen family had not sold her daughter to the palace in order to support her son, the Empress Dowager would not have had a hard time before, but would have married her beloved.
The Empress Dowager said, "although the AI family is not close to them, but after all, they are blood relatives, so it is not good for them to suffer in Weicheng."
Mo rongzhan didn't want to let the cen family come to Kyoto. As the mother's mother's family, naturally, he wanted to be a marquis. There was a big difference between being a marquis in Weicheng and being a marquis in Kyoto. How the cen family's tutor was unknown. He was only worried that people would use them to make mischief in the future.
"Emperor, don't you want the cen family to come to Kyoto?" The Empress Dowager frowned at Mo Rong Zhan and asked.
"Mother, I don't mean that." Mo Rong Zhan said, "if you want to see the people of your mother's family, you might as well ask them to come into the palace to greet you and stay in Kyoto for more time."
The Empress Dowager sighed, "when you are old, you will miss your hometown and your family. The emperor, you do not understand."
"Brother Huang, don't you mean to let your uncle go to Kyoto? Anyway, they don't know anything. Then let them go to the palace to accompany their mother." Mo Rong Yi said beside.
Mo Rong Zhan said, "to let uncle and they are Weicheng is not immediately able to do, I will send people to take them over."
The Empress Dowager's face showed a smile, "good."
After returning to the Qianqing palace from the CI Ning palace, Mo Rong Zhan still didn't want to understand why the Empress Dowager wanted to take the cen family to Kyoto. Before, she didn't want to mention the cen family.
Something must have happened!
"Emperor, Lord Tang asked to see you outside the palace." Fu Gonggong whispered to Mo Rong Zhan.
The color of his eyes is dim. Is Tang Zhen back so soon?
"Let him in." Mo Rong said in a deep voice.
After a while, Tang Zhen came in from the outside with a dignified face and knelt in front of Mo Rong Zhan, "emperor, I have got the book."
"Is there really that pamphlet?" Mo Rong Zhan, voice suddenly cold, eyes become more sharp and pressing.
"I also found out that Lin Zhanhong, a businessman who had colluded with officials and threatened Lin Maoping, did not die in the fire that year. Instead, he changed his name and left Jiangnan." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rong Zhan's face was more gloomy, "do you know where Lin Zhanhong is now?"
It was Lin Maoping who told Mo Rong Zhan before he died that Lin Zhanhong had threatened Lin Maoping. In addition to finding the pamphlet left by Ye Rongquan, he also investigated the truth of the Lin family fire.
"I only know that Lin Zhanhong fled to Dongqing and changed his name to another name, but I haven't found out yet." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rong Zhan looked down at the contents of the book, and found that there was no other evidence to be used except ye Rongquan's complaint of his wrongs. If only his own redress was made, ye Rongquan would not have been careful to let Ye Yaoyao protect him.
"Has this pamphlet been checked?" Mo Rong asked in a deep voice.
In fact, Tang Zhen had found something wrong with the book. However, before the emperor agreed, he would not tear it up and check it. "I think it's strange. The paper on each page is much thicker than usual."
Mo Rong Zhan took the book and put a pad on his hand. He turned around and took a sharp dagger on the book case and gently cut a page of paper.
A sheet of paper turned into two, and there was a thin oil paper in the middle. On the top of it, there were dense words written in charcoal ash. With a calm face, he cut off all the pages of the book. There were five oil papers in total.
The above is the truth of the year.
"The emperor?" Tang Zhen saw the above content, his calm face had changed completely.
"What a pine leaf! What a collusion Mo Rong Zhan was angry with a smile. This is the evidence that ye Rongquan wants to stay to redress his grievances. This is the reason why he was wronged and greedy at the beginning and was assassinated before he was tried.
Looking at the contents of the five oil paper, Tang Zhen was surprised to look at Mo Rong Zhan. "Emperor, there was always a problem with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. But where would such a large sum of silver be hidden?"
"Cao Lei." Mo Rong Zhan's fingers looked at the fourth oil paper, "ye Yisong and Cao Lei had collusion. The silver that should have been handed over to the Treasury must have been hidden somewhere."
"Emperor, isn't Cao Lei dead?" Tang Zhen frowned, "how to find out this batch of silver?"
"Caojiazhai is dead, but he still has a son." Mo Rong Zhan said in a low voice, "Ye Rongquan knows too much, so he can't live in Jiangnan."Tang Zhen said, "are those silver still there?"
Mo Rong Zhan remembers the news from Xue Lin that Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan are going to find Cao Lei's treasure house, which is supposed to be the place to collect tax money.
"I will go to Dongqing in person." Mo Rong Zhan said in a deep voice.
"The emperor?" Tang Zhen looked at him in shock.
Mo Rong Zhan said, "Cao Lei's son must be in Dongqing. Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan are looking for Cao Lei's treasure house. They may not know nothing."
Now the only clue is the treasure house left by Cao Lei, and why Bai Ziqi killed Cao Lei at all costs. He was one of the people framed by Ye Yisong at the beginning. Maybe, he also knew the truth.
Tang Zhen said, "emperor, it is Dongqing after all."
"I went to Dongqing in humble clothes. Who knows that I am the emperor of Jin State?" Mo Rong Zhan said faintly, "that batch of tax silver is too important for Jin state to fall into the hands of other people."
"I went to Dongqing with the emperor." Tang Zhen immediately said.
"No, I still need you to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Ye Yisong can be greedy for such a large amount of tax and silver. There must be many followers in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past two years, I just wiped out his influence in Kyoto. Jiangnan has been unable to spare any money. Now is the opportunity." Mo Rong Zhan said in a deep voice.
Tang Zhen nodded, "I understand how to do."
"Mo Quan let me return for a moment."
Qi Quan is also a big general of Mo Rong Zhan's confidant. Now he is guarding the territory of Jin State in the border town, so that he can come back to Kyoto, in order to suppress some people who have floating minds and prevent those people from making small moves behind their backs when Mo Rong Zhan is not in Kyoto.
