After a moment of dead silence, the woman's light footsteps were suddenly as dull as stepping on the hearts of Xia Houzhan and Yu Zhuo. It sounded like this, but they were still approaching step by step.

At this time, Su Shixue next door was still disguised.Yu Zhuo didn't dare to move around, and imitated the mouse to make a "squeak————" sound, and the people outside stopped moving immediately.

The sound was so familiar that Xia Houzhan almost trembled, thinking that there were really mice.

The women outside are really at war between heaven and man, Su Shixue and Qi Ruo have already started to follow.If she opened the cupboard door, then the interrogation would be knocked out directly; if she left directly, the two would naturally follow to the end.

The woman chose to leave.

"Let's follow them, Your Majesty will escort you back to the mansion, or—" Before Yu Zhuo could finish speaking, Xia Houzhan pushed the man out, and Yu Zhuo was already pulling him, and the two rolled into a ball immediately. fell out of the cabinet.

Then there was a "bang", and their heads were knocked head-on.Xia Houzhan hurriedly got up from Yu Zhuo's body, and said apologetically, "I... have some numb legs, is Heng Qing hurt?"

Yu Zhuo noticed that his forehead was a little red, and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay."

"You can't stay in the place of fireworks, let's go back first." Xia Houzhan suggested.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, the voice of the watchman sounded, and Yu Zhuo said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's the third watch, if you go out at this time, I'm afraid you will have to eat forty boards."

"The night is closed, so let's stay here for the night." Xia Houzhan looked at the bed, Yu Zhuo immediately understood, and went to the next room.

When he got up in the morning, there was a noise in this inn. After listening carefully, Yu Zhuo found out that a guest living downstairs had lost his belongings.Now it's more troublesome. They don't have identities, so they want to be exposed.It doesn't matter if he reveals his identity, the emperor's words are beyond words.

When Xiao Er brought the hot water, he looked at him with some unkind eyes.

"What's going on?" Xia Houzhan asked when he saw Yu Zhuo coming in.

"A guest has lost his belongings. I'm afraid the two of us will be suspected. Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Yu Zhuo looked out the window, signaling that the two of them could jump out of the window and slip away.

Sure enough, there was a voice coming from outside the house, which sounded like the waiter who had just delivered water. "Last night, there were obviously four people staying in the shop, but when I saw it this morning, there were only two people. Those four people looked very tight, and I'm afraid they are from other places."

Said, the two did not hesitate.Xia Houzhan was also a soldier, so he jumped through the window, jumped to the back alley, rolled up the sleeves and robes that were in the way, and ran all the way back to the back door of Zuo Xiangfu.

"What about Shixue and Mr. Qi?" Xia Houzhan asked belatedly.

Entering the room with dioramas, while removing the disguise for the two, he said: "They will definitely return to Zuo Xiangfu, but they don't know where to spend last night."

"I thought the night was strictly prohibited, and the streets were locked with iron fences, but there were still thieves making trouble."

As a result, Yu Zhuo sighed, and said, "Your Majesty may not know something, so he just guarded himself and stole it."

Seeing Xia Houzhan's puzzled face in the mirror, he opened his mouth halfway, but didn't ask anything.Yu Zhuo knew that he needed some time to think clearly, so he said: "Your Majesty, are you hungry? Put a hot towel on your face for a while, and I will serve breakfast."

Xia Yubing was familiar with Yu Zhuo's work and rest, no matter where he was last night, breakfast would definitely be ready before three quarters of Yin time.Yu Zhuo happened to see his sleepy look and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My lord, you can be considered to be back. The kid was worried all night last night, why..."

Yu Zhuo chuckled, picked up the chopping board, and said, "I'm afraid you fell asleep, so I didn't disturb you. If Commander Su comes back, let him go and rest first."

It wasn't until lunchtime that the four of them got together.

Last night, when Su Shixue and Qi Ruo were following the woman, they happened to encounter a night ban, the streets were locked, watchmen were patrolling everywhere, and the woman went straight into a house.Originally they thought that the woman just went in to hide, but as soon as they jumped onto the tree outside the fence, they saw the woman talking to the people in the courtyard. From a distance, they looked like old acquaintances.

"The owner of that family is none other than the Minister of the Honghe Temple whom I saw last night, Liu Ming and Liu Jinghong." Qi Ruo said with a smile, her eyes wandering, "It seems that Master Liu is really romantic."

Su Shixue added: "That woman is not simple, she knows kung fu."

You can't draw conclusions about Liu Ming, the woman may have discovered that she was being followed, and deliberately used this trick to confuse their attention.

"There are so many guests in Lanchunyuan, but they only come with us." Qi Ruo put the remaining shrimps from the three-color fried shrimps into his bowl at once, and said, "It must be Mr. Zuoxiang who treated Sister Drunken Butterfly last night. Too 'enthusiastic' and arouses the envy of others."

Yu Zhuo stared at the shrimp with distress, and said, "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, don't talk when you eat."

"Come on." Qi Ruo stuffed food into his mouth without hesitation.

From Xia Houzhan's point of view, Yu Zhuo never took his eyes off the plate of shrimps. He couldn't help feeling amused, put down his chopsticks and asked, "What does Hengqing think Liu Ming has to do with this matter?"

"Either it's a blindfold, or it's the mastermind."

On the surface, this matter has little to do with human trafficking. However, without buyers, there will be no sellers. Instead of finding a few "good mothers" to stop the simmering, it is better to cut the bottom of the pot and kill the root cause.

Although Yu Zhuo thinks so, he also knows that the interest in the middle is astonishing. It may be the jobs of thousands of people, and it will affect the whole body: tooth shop, brothel, water, land transportation...

"As long as people can still buy and sell, this matter will never be eliminated." Yu Zhuo concluded.

"But..." Xia Houzhan was afraid that Yu Zhuo would tell him more mysterious and mysterious truths, and when he was about to refute and force him, he asked, "Heng Qing said, what step should I go to?"

"The Minister of Dali Temple is not effective in handling affairs, and the trend of prostitution in Beijing is prevalent. The courtesans in Beijing really need to be dealt with. The mastermind behind it... I am afraid that they cannot act now."

"The mastermind?" Xia Houzhan didn't know what to say.

Yu Zhuo thought that Xia Houzhan was still too naive, so he got to the bottom of it: "Under the emperor's feet, there is no way to clear up the relationship. How dare you do this kind of business that loses your head."

Thinking of the ministers in the court, Xia Houzhan suddenly felt cold, looked at Qi Ruo and asked, "Mr. Qi, is he willing to serve me?"

"Has your majesty decided on a name?"

"Set up the Northern and Southern Imperial Offices, the Southern Imperial Office handles affairs in the open, and the Northern Imperial Office secretly supervises for me." Xia Houzhan got up and said solemnly, "Mr.

Qi Ruo almost spit out the rice, and quickly proved his innocence: "Your Majesty, the grass-roots are just opening brothels, and didn't talk about visiting brothels. Your Majesty has learned from you."

Of course, this made no difference to Xia Houzhan.

The chief envoy of the Nanyu Xingsi has been appointed, and the Beiyu Xingsi can only let Su Shixue do it for him, but he is still the commander of the imperial army after all, and sooner or later this responsibility will be replaced officially.

"The dark guards cannot be incorporated into the Nan Yu Xingsi for the time being, and Mr. Qi still needs to select the manpower first, and I will try to find good seedlings." Xia Houzhan said this, and Qi Ruo became even more depressed. I dare say that he can only be a bare rod now. commander.

Before returning to the palace, Xia Houzhan wanted to find out the so-called "backstage envoy" in a different way, but Yu Zhuo's paragraphs were much higher than him, so he went back with a few words.

In the end, Xia Houzhan was really annoyed, and Yu Zhuo played an easy-to-understand riddle: "In fact, your majesty knows it well, and I said that your majesty can't move now."

He is the emperor, but he can't move.

As the second time that Emperor Jingwu went to war after taking office, there are also detailed records in later history.In March of the first year of Yongheng, the case of "patting flowers" was solved, and five brothels in Yangzhou Prefecture and Beijing were arrested for selling civilian children.

The minister of Dali Temple was not good at handling the case, so he was dismissed for investigation; Su Shixue, the commander of the imperial army, and the doctor Yushi found several officials who were prostitutes during the night investigation.

In April of the same year, Emperor Wu established the Northern and Southern Imperial Offices separately. The Southern Imperial Office had Qiruo as the chief envoy, and the Northern Imperial Office had Su Shixue as the acting chief envoy, and the chief envoy worshiped the fifth grade.Select a folk legend and a martial artist with a clean background as the subordinate officials, and the official position is the seventh rank.
