Chapter 49 Thousands of thoughts

I practiced at home all night. The next morning, I was disturbed by the noise of repairing in the royal palace.

The project of the royal palace is still continuing. The huge royal palace has only been repaired by half, and there is still half of it. It is estimated that it will take about seven or eight days to complete.

Liu Xia looked at the sunshine falling in from the window and couldn't help thinking of the task assigned by the emperor, and felt a slight headache.

In the case of the Onmyoji Association, it seemed clear at a glance, but when I came back last night, I asked Zhang Zong about it before I knew that things were far more complicated than he thought.

Zhang Zong is only the bottom layer of this Nuo Da's interest chain. Although he is directly responsible for the sale and sales of elixir, they only leave a profit, and all the remaining money is handed over to a local business.

And that business is unknown. I guess after what happened yesterday, I'm afraid that business will evaporate from the world.

That business is probably only rushing to launder money. As for the final flow of that money, I'm afraid only the real owner can know.

As for those owners, Zhang Zong has never seen it. It's like a fog. The fog is heavy, and he can't see who is behind the scenes.

Liu Xia washed up, changed her clothes, and went out of the door. At this moment, Liu Xia suddenly felt that the noise outside the door today seemed to be much smaller.

I can't help but be a little curious.

At this time, he saw Dabao with a sad face drooping his shoulders and coming feebly.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"Oh, don't mention it. The poor monk got up early today and was ready to continue to accept the gift from the officials of Longdu, but who would have thought that as soon as he opened the door, he didn't even have a personal figure. I don't know that a pile of royal forest troops came out of there. Isn't it a way for the poor monk to make money?

Dabao said with a long sigh.

Liu Xia knew that the imperial army assigned to him by the emperor had arrived.

This is part of the emperor's decree.

I know that Liu Xia has no one in her hand, and she has no power. If she wants to investigate such a case, there is no one to help her. How can it be completed?

The imperial army is the emperor's heart. Most of the previous imperial army were the princes and the children of the duke with outstanding achievements.

Since the beginning of martial arts in the Tianji Dynasty, most of the imperial army has been held by civilians born in martial arts.

In this way, it is undoubtedly to ensure the safety of the palace.

After all, these civilians have no clan background and will be more loyal to the emperor.

"Brother, don't worry, it was just a drizzle before. It's a big deal for us to do this ticket below. At that time, you will make money."

After saying that, Liu Xia walked out of the gate.

When you get out of the gate, it's not true.

About 500 imperial troops have put the whole royal palace under martial law.

The Royal Forest Army is the emperor's imperial guard. Those who want to please Liu Xia are naturally scared away when they see this battle.

"Liu Liansheng, Tong Dawei, see the deputy capital."

As soon as I went out, I saw Liu Liansheng and Tong Dawei waiting at the door.

These two people are Liu Xia's subordinates. It seems that the emperor instructed them to assist Liu Xia in investigating the case.

These two people are all in a hundred households. Now one is at the peak of the spiritual master level and the other is at the peak of the martial arts master level.

It seems that the 500 people mobilized are also their subordinates.

Loyalty should not be a problem.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please get up quickly. This is my royal palace, not in the palace. These red tape and energy-saving will be avoided, so that everyone will not be born.

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.

Yes, my lord. We are ordered by the capital to assist the prince. If the prince has any dispatch, just tell him.

Liu Liansheng looked at Liu Xia with an admiring face and said.

Today's Liu Xia is well-known.

On this day alone, the yin and yang master has been admired by countless people. As a spiritual practitioner, he naturally worships Liu Xia incomparable.

"You two come in and talk. On Your Majesty's will, I will supervise the case of the Onmyoji Association, and this will be our office space in the future. I'll ask someone to clean up the west courtyard later, and you two can go directly to the courtyard to work in the future.

"Yes."

The two people hurriedly hugged their fists and said.

At this moment, a royal guard came over in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, two adults, there is a man who claims to be Song Hanxing. He wants to see the prince."

"Lao Song?"

Liu Xia immediately walked out of your door.

At the end of the street, Song Hanxing was indeed seen driving the carriage and waiting there.

When he saw Liu Xia from afar, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.

Liu Xia helped him up and smiled, "I'm looking forward to you."

"Well, I have something to do at home, so it's delayed. Yesterday, when I heard that the prince and the Onmyoji Association fell out, I saluted and knew that I was afraid that the prince was going to use people here, so he came in a hurry.

"It's good to come, Liu Baihu. You go to the east suburbs and alley outside the city to find a man named Yuan Binglong. This person is the guard I recruited and let him report to the old royal palace."

"Yes."

Immediately, Liu Liansheng left with several imperial troops.

An hour later, the west courtyard of the royal palace was cleaned up.

The West Courtyard was originally the place where the side concubine lived, because Prince Wei did not accept the side concubine, so it has been abandoned.

It is located at the back of the royal palace. The environment is quiet and relatively hidden. It is the most suitable place to use it as a stronghold.

At this moment, Liu Xia sat in the lobby. Dabao, Cai Wei, Liu Liansheng, Zhang Zong, Tong Dawei, Yuan Binglong, Song Hanxing and others were all present.

This is also Liu Xia's team to solve this case.

"Lao Song and Yuan Binglong, I have reported to the Zongren Mansion, and there may be a settlement tomorrow. This time, you follow me and you want to supervise the case of the Onmyoji Association. Zhang Zong has just made a general talk about this case. Now that you have no clue, what can you do?"

Liu Xia came straight to the point.

Yuan Binglong said that there were a group of brothers, about more than 30 people. This time, they all became Liu Xia's guards. Although the grade is very low, today's Liu Xia, known as Manlongdu, has a personal errand in this royal palace, which is indeed more reliable than outside.

Naturally, I am happy.

And Song Hanxing was even more satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zong just said that the monopoly materials of the Onmyoji Association began twelve years ago. At that time, it took a lot of money to monopolize the elixir and materials of Longdu, which was provided by Changyun Commercial Bank. Successfully monopolizing the Onmyoji industry in Longdu, Zhang Zong willhui the nine layers of flowing water into the commercial bank every month. All of them are connected by this business. However, Weichen has been living in Longdu for many years, but this Changyun business has never heard of it at all?

Yuan Binglong frowned and said.

"Yes, it is impossible to do such a big business without strong strength. Weichen has been in Longdu for seven or eight years, and this business is unknown. Weichen suspected that it was very likely that it was a branch of other commercial banks, or it was an empty shelf. If not, it was the shadow of the clan. I guess at this moment, people have been empty for a long time. I think it's useless to check.

Liu Liansheng analyzed.

"Why don't you start with the shopkeeper of Changyun Commercial Bank?"

Dabao said.

"This shopkeeper's name is Liu Sishan. I have been dealing with him for more than ten years, but when we first framed our plan, this person appeared. Since we succeeded in monopolizing, that person has rarely appeared there. The last time I saw him was last Mid-Autumn Festival. Since then, there has always been a guy in charge of collecting the bill. I also sent someone to check him, but it's a pity that there is nothing valuable.

Zhang Zong said at this moment.

"Lao Zhang, you have been dealing with him for more than ten years. Isn't there a trace?"

Dabao asked curiously.

"When I met him, I was just running a material store in the west of the city. Because I had few people and the production rate of elixirs was extremely low, I basically didn't make much money. It can only be said that the expenditure is barely maintained. At that time, I happened to meet the Longdu Onmyoji Conference, which was held by today's emperor. The supervisor is Master Duan of Longdu. Onmyoji from all over the country came to participate and wanted to emerge at this grand event.

"Of course, I am no exception. It's just that at that time, with my alchemy skills, although it was good, there were many masters in that class. I was lucky enough to enter the top ten and was eliminated. Although that conference brought me a lot of popularity and income. But since then, I have refined and attacked the seventh-order Onmyoji. I failed one after another and consumed a lot of wealth. As a result, I haven't succeeded yet. The material store can only mortgage it. When I was ready to fight back, Liu Sishan appeared.

"This person is extremely generous and has a good relationship. He found me and sponsored me 80,000 taels of silver. Let me get through the difficulties. Since then, we have become friends. This person speaks well, and his head is empty, and the background is very huge. At that time, I felt that I met a nobleman. When I stepped into the seventh stage, he told me his plan for the first time.

"When I finished listening to it, I only felt that he was joking and wanted to monopolize the whole industry. The dragon had a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. How could it be? I didn't take it seriously. Later, he came to me again. It was said that I was very sure, and I was slowly moved.

"So how exactly did you operate it at that time?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"It's a long story. If you want to monopolize the price of materials in Longdu, you should first choose to monopolize the source of goods. However, as you know, in Longdu City, there are seven headquarters here among the top ten commercial banks across the world, and other large and small businesses, at least tens of thousands. At first glance, it's simply impossible. However, it's really man-made. In order to monopolize the supply of goods, Liu Sishan hoarded a large number of purchased materials and then sold them half a year later. At that time, the whole material market in Longdu collapsed in an instant. Major commercial banks have lost money one after another, and the market is also extremely saturated. So they stopped the material business one after another.

Speaking of this, Zhang Zong paused and said, "Then, when the market was bleak, Liu Sisan took advantage of the chaotic scene of the uneven quality of Longdu materials to create a March blood case. A large number of Onmyoji were hired to attack other businesses. There is a lot of noise. At this moment, Liu Sishan arranged me to the Longdu Onmyoji Association as a permanent director. I know what method he used to buy out other managers of the association, so we sued the top ten firms in the name of an association. At that time, it aroused public anger, and the top ten commercial banks lost money. Finally, they negotiated with us and let us act as the appraisal agency of materials. Only the materials after appraisal can be put on the market for sale.

"When this is domineering."

Liu Xia couldn't help saying.
