Chapter 252: Storm

Princess Zhao was in a particularly good mood today, and she hurriedly went out for a walk with Zhu Zhiling.

In the eyes of the magistrate Xi County, it was a bit harmful to the general public. However, neither Zhu Zhiling nor Princess Zhao were ordinary people. To put it bluntly, even when Prince Zhao's mother, Empress Xu, was a woman who was the Princess of Yan in Peiping, she was a man who was as good as a woman.

To take a step back, no matter how hard the ruling county magistrate Xi looked at the bleeding of his eyes, his husband didn't say anything, what could he do.

When the two girls went out, they naturally worked for many guards and musketeers. With their protection, they could naturally be safe.

Zhu Gaosui finally got quiet, but suddenly became excited and wanted to pull Hao Fenglou out.

Hao Fenglou smiled, shook his head and said, "I have something to do."

During the days of living here, Hao Fenglou locked himself up, which made Zhu Gaosui feel a little discouraged. He couldn't help but complain: "What's so important? What are you busy with all day and night?"

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "If your highness is really useless, let me take a look."

The people of Hao Fenglou lived in Houya. As for the county magistrate Xi, they had to live in other places. In a secluded place in Houya, the guards here were obviously much more severe. There was an isolated house here, which Hao Fenglou called it a safe house.

After special treatment, all the paper windows were sealed, and the main door was changed to a thick small door. No one was allowed to approach within thirty steps outside.

Hao Fenglou was in front and Zhu Gaosui followed behind. When the two entered the room, Zhu Gaosui was curious about all this, but in order to make himself seem less ignorant, he did not ask much.

There were many lamps lit inside. At this time, several clerks were working on official documents with their lamps.

Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui came in, and the clerks ignored them and they took apart the letters. There was a very rule that each letter was covered with ink paste and there was a number on it. While disassembling the letters, the clerks also recorded the letters on a white paper.

After taking out the letter paper, I began to copy the numbers on the white paper and wait for the numbers to be copied. Then I began to pick books in the bookshelf, pick out the books, and according to the numbers, I began to translate the words in the letter paper word by word.

After the translation, the clerk stood up and sent the translation to several tables in the main hall.

After a few cases, Wang Fang, a hundred households in the southwest of Shenwuwei, looked at the translations carefully, and frowned. Sometimes hesitated, and finally logged the translation number into the book. The translations in the book were divided into three levels. A is an extremely important news and needs to be reported immediately; B is an important news, and it must be inquired at any time and archived. As for C, it can be destroyed after copying. If someone wants to find any information in the future, he can search.

Many of the news sent today are Class A, so Wang Fang's face looks very bad.

When he saw Hao Fenglou and King Zhao's palace coming down, he did not dare to neglect. He quickly stood up and saluted and said, "I have met Lord Hao. I have met Your Highness."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "How is it, what news is there?"

Wang Fang said: "Sir, please read it." He took out a translation and handed it to Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou took it, and King Zhao also put his head on.

But the person above wrote: "I am telling me that forty miles west of Langshan, there are natives who are ready to move, gathering more than 70 strong men, but their movements are unknown."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but frown and said, "Does such things happen often?"

Wang Fang said: "I have read a lot of reports. There are indeed some natives in Lang San who are causing trouble, but there are rules here. Even if there are any fighting or intentions between natives, there are often signs in advance, but this native village has never heard of anyone they have had with recently, so I feel strange."

Hao Fenglou nodded.

At this time, Wang Fang seemed to remember something, picked up a translation and handed it to Hao Fenglou, and said, "Sir, this one is really amazing. Please read it, sir."

Hao Fenglou took it and read the translation: "The man said: He has mixed up with a merchant gang and guarded the goods in the warehouse for others. After investigation, there were many imperial qualities from the Annan Palace among the goods in the merchant gang..."

Hao Fenglou was stunned when he saw it. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaosui sideways. Zhu Gaosui was also shocked and couldn't help but say, "But I read the newspaper that the Annan Palace is very vigilant and the Ming army did not rob? Even some rare things were picked and sent to Nanjing immediately. Why do these merchants have the imperial qualities of the Annan Palace?"

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "There may be only two types. One is that someone stolen from the palace by fishing in troubled waters. The other is that the tribute sent to Nanjing was dropped."

Zhu Gaosui took a deep breath and then said, "These people are so brave!"

Hao Fenglou's face became solemn, and he frowned and said, "Actually, I have long suspected that the people here in Langshan are too bold and dare to directly fight against the government. I heard that it is not only the rioters who are bold in front of the government. Even some merchants are bold in their behavior. Some merchants even recruit soldiers and dominate the country here, and they should not be underestimated. Have you ever seen such merchants?"

Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said, "Of course I have never seen it."

Hao Fenglou said, "But your highness still doesn't understand now? The back of these merchants is not simple. The people behind them are afraid that there are many big people. Some people rely on these merchants to make a fortune, and these merchants use these goods to resell them to other places, which is often ten or a hundred times more profitable."

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help frowning and said, "Did you report this to your father?"

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "It's useless to say it now. I have always ordered people to investigate the details of these merchants in secret. These people are very brave. They are doing beheading business and recruited many dead soldiers here, so they have always been brave. If they are allowed to stay in Lang San, our Hao family's one acre of land in Lang San will be ruined by them."

Zhu Gaosui said: "What are you going to deal with them?"

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "People drive away, money stays!"

Zhu Gaosui's first reaction was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Why are you always thinking about money?"

Hao Fenglou ignored him, then read a lot of translations, roughly sorted out the context, and then said, "Don't your highness want to go out for a walk? Okay, let's go out for a walk."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui were about to go out, but they happened to meet Princess Zhao and Zhu Zhiling who came back. Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but tremble when he saw Princess Zhao, and the person immediately became shorter. Seeing Princess Zhao's face showing displeasure, he was even more distraught.

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Why did you come back so early?"

Zhu Zhiling said: "Today, there are some reasons that there are no people in East and West markets. I originally wanted to buy some things, but I had to come back first."

Hao Fenglou smiled at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Here you come..."

Zhu Gaosui was absent-minded and couldn't help asking: "What's here?"

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "We didn't touch them. They wanted to take action first. Let's wait and see what these people want to do."

The lively places in Qiongshan County can be roughly divided into East City and West City. East City is a place to buy daily necessities. Occasionally, butchers slaughter meat to sell. As for West City, most of the things sold are miscellaneous.

However, today's West Market is not lively. Not only is the West Market, but it is almost the same as the East Market.

All industries are in a downturn, and it seems that all of a sudden, the people who do business are gone.

There was a faint tense atmosphere in the air, and then many bad intentions gathered outside the yamen.

When the county magistrate Xi heard the report from the outside officer, he did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly asked someone to recommend it.

The people who came in were not recognized by Xi County Magistrate. He looked like a common person who was doing small business. Xi County Magistrate did not dare to underestimate him or scare people with a canopy. He knew the customs of the people here, so he naturally did not dare to do excessive things, but the majesty of his parents' officials had to be put forward. Xi County Magistrate said solemnly: "Who is in the hall and what is the matter?"

The little vendor said, "Brother Qingtian, the villain cannot survive. The villain is doing straw sandals, but the business cannot be done now."

After hearing this, the Xi County Magistrate couldn't help but feel angry and amused, saying, "If you can't make a deal, what does it have to do with me? Do I still care about you?"

The small vendor cried out, "Sir, this is not what this said. Originally, the straw sandals of the villain were sold to the mountain people. When the mountain goods were sold, they always came to buy the villain's shoes. But now I don't know who provoked the big man. Someone was angry and ordered them to go down the mountain to trade. Think about it, if the people in the mountains do not go down the mountain, wouldn't the villain have to eat the northwest wind? Anyone who provoked the big man was in the adult's yamen. The adult did not care about the livelihood of the villain, but he took these people in. In the future, the villain would not live a life of the villain?"

The Xi County Magistrate frowned immediately. He felt something was wrong. The people in the mountains were not going down the mountain. In fact, for the Xi County Magistrate, it would be better for these people not to go down the mountain, and it would be less trouble for him. But the problem is, in Lang Son, who can pass on a word? The mountain people are banned from the mountain? There is only one person with such energy, but it is definitely not him. Thinking of this, the Xi County Magistrate's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but say, "Do you take what you said seriously? If someone really spreads the word, they won't let them go down the mountain?"

The small vendor smiled bitterly and said, "Although it may not be true, the villain dares to guarantee that there are indeed no people from the mountains today, and the villain cannot live..."
