A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

They were curious about what book the emperor had been thinking about for so long.

Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang each held a book and flipped through them casually.

I didn't know this when I saw it, but I was shocked after seeing it.

These are not ordinary books. To be more serious, some of these books are related to the imperial court.

A book that records the methods of refining weapons can save both cost and time.

The latter part of this book deals with military strategy and deployment.

In other words, a book can improve combat effectiveness and effectively strengthen military power.

One book is an account book, the Wang family’s account book, which records what the Wang family has paid for the imperial court.

Although the secret room is quite old, the account book has been recording the secrets of the current emperor and King Lao An, including some secrets of King Kou Shun.

Do Prince Shun and His Majesty know about the existence of this account book?

Who recorded this account book, the Wang family? Who continued to record it later?

The text in the third book is not Chinese characters, but a mixture of strokes and patterns. It does not look like a map or an account book. What is it?

Before the two people left, Lin Qingyang put everything back in its original place. Except for three books, nothing else was taken away.

Although the air here is "toxic", other objects are not stained with anything.

They returned along the original route, stayed in the library for a certain period of time as usual, and then returned to the post station.

The mute girl continued to perform attentively every day.

Prince Xiao An achieved his purpose of coming to Jiangnan, and the rest of his time was spent helping the emperor with things.

In the next few days, the seaside became lively. Not only did there are more fishermen and vendors, but the boats were also busy.

King Xiaoan's spies told him what they had discovered.

"Is this an action?" said Prince An calmly.

"Your Highness, I have inquired and found out that the more numerous ships recently are transporting goods to the island where prisoners are held. Normally, the supply ships only leave once every half a month." said the spy.

"Well, how are the preparations going?" Little Prince An was still listening quietly, looking calm on the surface.

"We are ready, just waiting for the next voyage."

King Xiao An waved his hand and let him go.

This island is used to detain prisoners, but it has only been used to detain prisoners in recent years. In the past, it was a deserted island.

There are many advantages to detaining prisoners on a deserted island. There will be no jailbreaks or escapes, because on the island, not only will they be punished, but they will also have to work every day and not have enough food to eat.

There is no boat access to the deserted island and there are no people on the island. The only way to escape is to swim. However, they are not close to the mainland, so even if they are good at swimming, how can they have the physical strength?

A few years ago, the emperor sent people to search for treasure, but as time went by, the expectation for the treasure became less strong, and it would be better if no one found it.

But in recent years, the emperor has always received secret reports that someone is planning a rebellion.

You can do without the treasure, but you cannot commit treason. Treasure is something you robbed from others, while treason is equivalent to robbing the emperor!

The emperor openly sent different officials to the south of the Yangtze River, but he also arranged for the emperor's people to follow the officials, and there were also spies. These people were there to investigate things, but the emperor was afraid that his thoughts would alarm others, so he did not dare to let them stay for too long. What's more, this rebel was like a treasure, with no goals.

The reason why Prince Xiao An was able to find out was because he was not investigating any conspiracy. He just investigated certain people, and those people made him suspicious.

It was late at night and the seaside was still lit.

A large ship was returning from the island where the prisoners were held, and the people on the shore seemed to have gotten used to it.

When the big ship reached the shore and stopped steadily, the people on it began to transport things down.

The boxes are all heavy, seemingly.

Just when almost half of the cargo on the ship had been unloaded, many officers and soldiers came ashore.

"Someone reported that smuggled salt was being trafficked here. Stop and check!"

The officer and soldier in charge stood in the front, and the other officers and soldiers surrounded the goods.

A steward who had just put on his uniform came in front of the officers and soldiers.

"Sir, we just transported a batch of prisoners today and just came back!" As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver and secretly stuffed it into the leading officer's pocket.

The officer smiled when he saw the silver.

"What are all those boxes of yours? They don't look light!"

When the manager saw him smile, he felt that things would be much easier.

"Sir, these are all tea leaves!" The steward smiled flatteringly.

"Oh, I just came here too. It turns out tea is produced here!" the soldier continued.

The steward stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, what kind of tea do you want? Tell me an address and I'll send it to you."

The soldier still smiled, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Oh, so that's the case. Then please carry the things to the Yangshan Pass Patrol Camp!"

When the manager heard this, his face turned pale instantly.

He thought they were from the government or the coast guard. After all, these people still had to listen to local officials. However, Yangshan Pass was not under the jurisdiction of Haicheng, and there were mobile soldiers stationed there. They would not come without orders from above.

The person in charge didn't even have a chance to say anything before the people and goods were taken away.

There was indeed some tea on the ship, but it was used to cover up the truth. King Xiao An sent people to investigate the whole matter and had the things replaced.

Trafficking in salt is the same crime as trafficking in arms, just with an added insurance. These people are just small fry, but they do have a deterrent effect.

Everyone on the boat was taken away by the patrol camp, and no one else could inform the enemy except the people on the shore.

By the time the message got back, it was already daybreak.

From beginning to end, King Xiao An did not show up. When the people from the patrol camp came to find King Xiao An the next day, King Xiao An looked shocked and unbelievable.

"How could such a thing happen?"

A few days later, the court asked Prince Xiao An to investigate the matter.

Soldiers from the patrol camp were allowed to go to the island and local officials were not allowed to interfere.

It was only after King Xiao An arrived on the island that he witnessed the greatness of "human wisdom".

Most of the prisoners here are not sentenced to death but are extremely vicious. They were brought here to be given a chance, but what was the result?

Officials took advantage of them and exploited them, turning this enclosed island into a place for refining weapons.

The prisoners didn't know who they were working for, but they worked day and night to make weapons. Over the years, no one escaped alive.

If they want to have enough food, they have to complete their daily workload. The managers here no longer treat them as human beings, and their life and death are not their own decisions.

When Prince Xiao An saw the prisoners, he actually felt a trace of pity, "The court still let them live, but now their lives are worse than death."

The hideout here has been destroyed, but the criminals still have to stay on the island and be reported to higher authorities, waiting for advice on how to deal with the matter.

When interrogating prisoners, they all tell everything they know, but no one knows the mastermind behind it. They are just doing their job.

Inspections at the seaside have become stricter. Can those people detained by the patrol battalion know the mastermind behind the scenes?

Prince Xiao An thought that might not be the case, fortunately he was not exposed!
