,.

Han Ruzi always felt that there were leakers around him.

Zhao Ruosu was indeed able to understand the emperor's many plans in advance, but it was far from being covered. He and the emperor were only considered cooperative relations, neither trusted nor friends, and he should have no way of knowing the emperor's vague thoughts.

But the ministers in the court seemed to have lived in the emperor's heart, and they were extremely accurate in grasping it, and always marched safely between appeasement and angering the emperor.

Han Ruzi couldn't trust anyone, but he couldn't expel everyone around him because of this. He drove Zhao Ruosu away, and then silently observed and looked for evidence.

Nothing has been gained so far.

When he arrived in Hu County, Han Ruzi suddenly felt that Yang Feng was his best teacher. His ministers and companions said that they had been friends, but they understood each other and rarely made mistakes.

Yang Feng was not without selfishness, but his selfishness was not against the emperor's water.

Han Ruzi had already issued an order to exempt all local people from visiting the tour and to allow them to come to the camp and ask them to return to the yamen.

Wang Pingyang officially joined the Ministry of Rites. He was not a senior official and was responsible for communicating with officials along the way. He did a good job and always conformed to the emperor's wishes. Everything was simple and minimized.

In this way, Han Ruzi can have more rest time, but he usually only gets 2nd update, and he slept later today in order to wait for Jin Chunzhong.

Jin Chunzhong came to Hu County for investigation many days in advance. Before leaving, he received instructions from the emperor. No communication is required, and he will talk about everything he meets.

It was not until the third day that Jin Chunzhong finally came. He was covered in alcohol. Zhang Youcai, who brought him into the tent, frowned, very dissatisfied. He was a little surprised that Jin Chunzhong had always been respectful and even made mistakes, and drank before meeting him.

Jin Chunzhong knelt down and his body shook slightly, making it difficult to maintain balance. "Your Majesty, I have to drink this wine."

"Get up and talk." Han Ruzi nodded to Zhang Youcai. The eunuch withdrew from the tent. Before leaving, he shook his head at Jin Chunzhong's back.

"Have you found it?" Han Ruzi asked, feeling a little expectant.

After Jin Chunzhong got up, he shook more obviously, "There is no trace, Yang Feng's family may have moved out of here."

Han Ruzi's brows also frowned.

Jin Chunzhong couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly, and he had only a trace of soberness in his heart. He wanted to tell the emperor about the major things he had heard these days, so he took a step forward and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is fooled."

"Hmm? Are you telling a joke?" Han Ruzi didn't react. She thought that Jin Chunzhong's previous words were lying to him, thinking that the so-called "no action after drinking" was really accurate.

Jin Chunzhong shook his head vigorously to make himself more awake, "Just? No joke, Your Majesty remember Miss Yaoyue? She is also in Hu County. Thanks to her, I did not come in vain for this trip to Hu County..."

Jin Chunzhong felt that he had made it clear, but it sounded like a mess to the emperor, and interrupted sternly, "Where did Yaoyue come from? How could I recognize such a woman? Jin Chunzhong, what did you do in Huxian?"

When the emperor drank, Jin Chunzhong was startled and drunken. He understood in his heart, but his mouth became even more clumsy. "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty doesn't recognize you, don't recognize you? Oh, yes, it's because the Wei minister remembers it wrongly. That's it. Yao Yue first became a singer in the fang, and was bought by the Liang family, then went to the Zhang family, then to the Li family, and then to the Yan family... It's not that she did something wrong, but that she was too good at doing things, either being jealous of her husband or being taken by others..."

Han Ruzi waved and asked Jin Chunzhong to come over, "Take a few sips of tea, sit there and sober up, and then come and talk."

The emperor's words were the imperial edict. Jin Chunzhong immediately implemented it. He grabbed the teapot on the table and did not find the tea cup. He directly raised the teapot and poured half of the pot into his mouth. His chest was wet. He didn't care. He put down the pot and said urgently: "It's a big deal, Your Majesty..."

"Go there and sit down and sober up first." Han Ruzi interrupted. He really didn't want to listen to nonsense anymore. He was already very polite to Jin Chunzhong. If it were someone else, he would have driven out of the tent long ago.

The only chair in the tent was seated by the emperor, and there were a few round stools left. Jin Chunzhong picked one and sat down, took a deep breath, tried to control his body, and wanted to prove that he was very sober.

After three breaths, Kim Chun-jung fell head-on, crawled on the carpet, and fell asleep.

Zhang Youcai outside heard the sound and entered the account to check it out. When he saw Jin Chunzhong's appearance, he was stunned.

Han Ruzi stood up and said, "Don't worry about him, let him sleep here."

Han Ruzi had no need to stay up late and went back to her tent to rest. Zhang Youcai sent the emperor away, returned to the tent, helped Jin Chunzhong, covered him with a thin quilt, and shook his head and left.

Concubine Shu Deng Yun had already gone to bed. She was a little used to patrols, but she had to ensure her sleep, regardless of the emperor. Anyway, she had to rest early.

Han Ruzi lay on the **, still running the breathing method according to her habits. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought that she could oust the people around her, but she could not oust the habits they left behind.

The next day he got up very early. According to the original plan, he would leave Hu County before noon without sending him to him. It was not a major city. The emperor only passed by and would only stay for a long time after he arrived in Donghai Kingdom.

Han Ruzi's life is very regular. After starting a new memorial, he first reads the new memorials delivered overnight. He browsed them roughly. He had no important memorials. He had breakfast with Shufei, who came back to the next time. Next, he summoned the accompanying officials and generals. It was not long and could end more than an hour before noon.

By this time, the vanguard team had already set out to clear the road. The emperor had about half an hour of free time and could get on the road when he was ready.

As soon as he got busy, Han Ruzi almost forgot Jin Chunzhong. He only remembered it a moment before departure and asked Zhang Youcai: "Where is Jin Chunzhong?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and have been waiting to see Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai replied.

Han Ruzi thought about it and sent an order to wait for another quarter of an hour before he came to see Jin Chunzhong.

The tables, chairs and other items in the tent have been emptied, leaving only an empty tent. Jin Chunzhong stood inside with a blushing face and would kneel down as soon as he saw the emperor.

Han Ruzi raised his hand to stop him, "Do you want to say it now or go with me and talk about it on the way?"

The emperor did not blame him, and Jin Chunzhong's face turned redder, but he was completely awake and knew what was the most important thing. He immediately said: "I met a maid next to General Huang Pugong here, and she wanted to sue the emperor."

"Is that Miss Yaoyue?"

Jin Chunzhong had forgotten what he said last night, and was stunned when he heard this, "Your Majesty forgive me..."

"I'm sorry for not guilty. Since you are General Huang's maid, why didn't you complain in the capital but ran to Hu County?"

Jin Chunzhong roughly explained the experience of Yao Yue's experience of being threatened by Yan Pengshi.

"Her suspicion makes sense, but since Master Yan Peng is unwilling to give up his maid, why did he give her to Mr. Huang Pu?"

"Yao Yue was also puzzled. At that time, Yan Peng went home in a angrily manner and had no explanation."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You stay and take Yaoyue to Donghai Country with you, don't follow him too tightly."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Yaoyue is not an ordinary maid. She is from a craft house and should not stay in the hunting team. Han Ruzi has sent someone to investigate Huang Pugong's disappearance on the sea. When he arrived in the East China Sea, he might need Yaoyue as a witness.

There were still a large number of people waiting outside, all of whom had already been on the line. Han Ruzi turned around and was about to leave. Jin Chunzhong hurriedly said, "There is another thing that Your Majesty should know."

"Tell me, be short." Han Ruzi hesitated for a moment and decided to give Jin Chunzhong a chance.

"This Song He is not simple. He specializes in buying people, entering and leaving the Generals and Marquis' Mansion, and knows many powerful people in the court."

Strictly speaking, Dachu prohibits buying population and only allows signing contracts as slaves, which have time limits and wages. However, among the people, this is the "body contract". Many poor people will be slaves for their lives and will renew their contracts after they expire. This is how Han Ruzi's mother entered the royal palace at the beginning, and she would not leave after giving birth to a son.

"Well." Han Ruzi knew that this kind of thing was not very law-based, but she didn't have the energy to interfere.

"Weichen drank with him last night." Jin Chunzhong's face turned red again, "I finally led him to reveal the truth after drinking. It turns out that he is not just buying women, but his business is much bigger. He claims to be 'thousands'."

The average person has only a few dozen people, and even hundreds are more than a hundred. Han Ruzi said, "Aren't he bragging?"

"Weichen thought so, so she laughed at him. Song He said, "Thousands of thousands" are humble. He has the cooperation of the government and bought a lot. There are slaves from all over the countryside of kings and princes. He also said that business has been particularly good in recent years, and there are thousands of people in Huxian. Song He thought that Weichen was here to investigate secretly, so he bought Weichen and took action for 100,000 taels."

Han Ruzi's heart moved, "Where did he have so many people?"

"He didn't say it in detail. I was in a hurry to see the emperor, and I didn't have time to ask."

Han Ruzi paced back and forth in the tent, and Zhang Youcai lifted the curtain twice and urged the emperor silently.

Han Ruzi stopped, "Then you stay for a few more days to ask the matter clearly, and then come to Donghai Kingdom to see me. Do you need help?"

"No need, too many people will cause suspicion." Jin Chunzhong had a ready reason to stay, which was Yao Yue. He acted very obsessed with this woman and had already gained Song He's trust.

Han Ruzi came out of the tent and got on the horse, and the team went out of the camp.

During this tour, Concubine Shu was allowed to ride a carriage. The others were riding horses. There were not many people, but there were many types, including the Southern and Northern Army, the Guards, noble servants, accompanying officials, eunuchs, palace maids, and many consultants selected by the emperor. The simple sorting problem alone caused a headache for several days.

The team was in order, and the emperor was surrounded by close ministers and guards, each guarding his own positions. No one could go ahead or fall behind.

King Donghai and Cui Teng are close ministers and nominal generals of the Suwei Army, so they are closest to the emperor. King Donghai asked with a smile: "Is it Jin Chunzhong? Your Majesty won't take him on the road together?"

"Let's talk about it when he finds someone." Han Ruzi said coldly, showing a little dissatisfied with Jin Chunzhong.

The emperor has no many secrets. Jin Chunzhong is looking for Yang Feng's family. A few people around him can guess, but the emperor does not admit it and they do not mention it, which is just a great cover-up.

In the evening of that day, Han Ruzi kept thinking when she turned over the memorial: When she was relocating refugees, she had recruited many soldiers. Where did these people go? Could it be that the reason why Song He had "good business"?

There are few people who have opened up the land in Yunmengze, but there are traitors who have "thousands" of people falling down. Han Ruzi is furious and can't describe it. Because of this, he is even more calm on the surface. (To be continued.).
