The old lady is reborn

Despite the eight-word imperial decree, the four generals still followed the rules and had to investigate, confess, monitor, report, approve and verify before they could execute the person.

After finally grabbing a main line, the speed was much faster.

On the Jingzhao Yin side, it was indeed this gold case that unexpectedly involved the whereabouts of part of the gold: bribery in the army.

When the owner of the blacksmith shop saw that the truth was revealed, he had to confess that he was originally the Ninth Prince's man. After the Ninth Prince fell, he became the Sixth Prince's man.

Every month he would receive a freight bill in advance and take it to the designated shipping terminal to pick up the goods, which would contain gold bars disguised as iron ingots.

The captain and the escort had known each other for many years, but they seldom talked to each other. They watched tacitly as the boss took his men to transport the goods, signed the list, and then went their separate ways.

Each time the gold is received, it will be distributed to different places according to the instructions of the Nine Kings.

The largest amount went to the army, and for many years it was distributed according to the numbers on the roster and register.

Another part is directly supplied to the Ninth Prince for use, and the gold will be delivered to the Ninth Prince's Palace in various ways.

In addition, in order to deal with emergencies, the Ninth Prince would send people to him with a special seal to make temporary withdrawals and calls.

Simply put, this boss is like the Ninth Prince's accountant in Kyoto, and this shop used to be a small treasury for the Ninth Prince.

The blacksmith shop also made many fine swords for the deadpool and guards around the Ninth King.

Those who followed the Ninth Prince in the beginning knew that the Ninth Prince was more confident than the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince would try every possible means to make money, but the Ninth Prince didn't have to.

The Ninth Prince spent a lot of money to build up his own power in the army, pry open some civil officials, raise loyal soldiers, buy farms and beautiful women to give away, and even keep spies in the palace, but he could afford it.

But the owner of the blacksmith shop had no idea where the gold came from.

He was the accountant of the Ninth Prince, in charge of the small treasury for the Ninth Prince. He also hired another accountant to do the accounts of the store.

He said that the prince consort was very capable and his speculations were almost all correct, except for one mistake: the accountant of the store was killed not because he knew where the gold came from, but because he knew where the gold went.

After the Ninth Prince fell, the ships transporting gold ingots stopped for two months, which meant they were interrupted twice. But in the third month, they resumed their normal operation, but since then, their master has changed to the Sixth Prince.

Later, the Sixth King fell from power and no one knew where he was, but instructions were still sent through people as before, so he still did as he was told.

I can only do what I am told. All the things I have done in the past, whether I was working for the Ninth Prince or the Sixth Prince, were punishable by death. Although I know that there may be little hope, I can only hope that the Sixth Prince can finally succeed.

He had also secretly thought in his heart that if the six kings were defeated and died, but he did not implicate himself, he would still be able to live well.

But as long as the Sixth Prince is still alive and has guards and assassins around him, he can only obey the Sixth Prince, otherwise his life will be in danger immediately.

Unexpectedly, it was not the Sixth Prince who was arrested and implicated himself, but the Sixth Prince was still on the run and he was arrested first.

As for where the gold came from, the only thing he could tell was the boatman; he didn't know anything else.

After capturing Dong Jia and others, Huai'an sent someone to the village to bring back Dou Yang and Li Bing.

After the list of those collecting gold in the army was reported, Huai'an went back to the prince consort's residence to marry his wife.

The princess is already pregnant and has passed the period of morning sickness. Now she seems to have a good appetite, but she wants to eat this and that at the same time.

The Queen Mother sent an experienced nanny who seemed to be very strict, and the princess often sighed.

Seeing Huai'an coming back, the princess was first filled with joy, but then she thought of a cover-up and said hurriedly, "The prince consort has been working too hard lately and has lost a lot of weight."

He reported a long list of food and asked someone to prepare it to comfort the prince consort.

When Huai'an heard the names of these foods, he knew they had little to do with him, but he didn't care. He was very tolerant of food, and it would be nice to try something different with the princess later.

The princess saw Huai'an smiling at her, a smile that he knew was true but didn't want to expose, so she also smiled.

The people of Jingzhao Yin followed the information from the boatman bit by bit to investigate, but as they went along, many clues were lost.

Everyone speculated that the news of the accident in the blacksmith shop had spread.

The Yulin Guards, who had been secretly tracking and following the six kings, finally completed the encirclement of the six kings in a suitable place. This place is not a market town, there are no forks in the road, there are few refugees, and the possibility of accidental injury or escape is not high.

When the Sixth Prince saw Zhuo Peng, the leader of the Imperial Guard, he was startled at first, then looked around and couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "We still lost."

The six princes were escorted back to Kyoto.

After another half month, the refugees began to gradually return home. The court's attitude towards this was to allow them to come and go freely.

Originally, people were worried that this kind of movement would have too much impact on the disaster area, but if they were temporarily banned and not allowed to return, they were also afraid that all kinds of rumors would arise among the refugees, causing panic and eventually leading to conflict.

So the refugees gradually started to return home.

Bai Shengxue, who was living in prison, was released by Li Tubo and moved to another place.

They haven't caught me for such a long time, maybe I have escaped from Kyoto and become a wealthy man?

Bai Shengxue was living in her newly rented small house. While she was thinking about all sorts of things, she heard the voice of her master behind her: "The underworld may be looking for someone faster than you think."

When he turned around after hearing this, he grabbed her and held her tightly in his arms. At the same time, he stabbed Bai Shengxue in the back with a small dagger. However, her words before she died made him feel uncomfortable: "It's still slower than I thought."

I didn't think any more about it, and I used my Qinggong skills to evacuate quickly with my followers.

But when he arrived at the destination, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood. When did he get poisoned?

He suddenly thought of what Bai Shengxue said and that this woman had just been released from prison.

So she went to the prison not to find a safe place to stay, but to find the master of poisoning in the underworld?

The poisonous widow was put in jail and had no access to any news. People thought that Bai Shengxue was a gangster and the favorite of this gentleman.

Have I fallen into a trap?

Is she using herself as bait?

The gentleman felt his legs were weak and he seemed unable to stand.

Bai Shengxue used himself as bait and was willing to die together with him.

When Li Tubo arrived, Bai Shengxue was already dead. Her blood was on the ground, and on her dress was her last scribbled blood message: Don't be sad or blame yourself... I chose this path myself... I will be buried with my family.

The first character was not finished, but it was already clear which character it was. Li Tubo stared at the line of words, his eyes reddened.

Jiang Muwan's uncle Ye Xun took over or bought the "blacksmith shop".

Ever since the owner and the second manager and others were arrested, many people thought that the blacksmith shop had completely collapsed. However, except for those who knew the truth, most of the blacksmith shop's gold, silver and bronze wares, as well as the shop assistants were innocent.

The government officials sold the store.

Ye Xun became the new owner of this store.

When Dou Yang and Li Bing came back, they saw the little girl Yunxiang was asking around for news about them, looking extremely anxious.

Dou Yang hurriedly called out, "Yunxiang!"

Yunxiang turned around and saw them. She was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but get angry and blamed them: "Where did you go? You didn't even ask someone to leave a message."

In the past two years, Yunxiang often came to the blacksmith shop and had become very close to them. Many people in the blacksmith shop privately called Yunxiang "Dou Yang's little wife."

Huai'an heard it all and asked Dou Yang.

Dou Yang blushed, and after a while he said, "Since you call her that, I must marry her."

Huai An was happy, patted Dou Yang on the shoulder and stopped asking this question.

Now Dou Yang felt embarrassed to hear Yunxiang's blame, so he just said, "I know."

Li Bing smiled aside.

After about another month, almost all the refugees had returned home, with only a very small number remaining in Beijing for various reasons.

Under Song Ying's instruction, Shen Jingzhu, Su Lan, Xu Changfeng and Xu Changxiao re-registered their household registration as refugees, and the two children successfully used their original surnames and names in their household registration.

Before the Sixth King was arrested, people from the Jingzhao Yin Police Station speculated that Niujiagou was one of the Sixth King's hiding places.

Later, due to the arrival of refugees, the Jingzhao Yin and other government offices were so busy that they had to put the Niujiagou matter aside for the time being.

It is speculated that the one hundred to one hundred fifty guards and death warriors of the six kings are always a dangerous existence.

After Rong Huaian drew the map of Niujiagou, the Imperial Guards conducted several simulated encirclements, interceptions, and captures... The terrain of Niujiagou is really...

The people of the Six Kings who stayed in Niujiagou were originally going to split up and sneak into the entire capital, but after the refugees entered the capital, many measures such as curfew became difficult to continue. Only about a dozen people left in the early stage, and the rest had to hide in Niujiagou first.

When the Imperial Guards surrounded Niujiagou, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat and there was another round of fighting... In the end, seventy-six people were captured, forty-five died, and about a dozen people escaped.

When investigating the source of the gold, the clues were lost.

After the six princes were captured, they were asked where the gold came from. The six princes laughed and said, "They are all sons, but sons are different... This gold originally belonged to the court..."
