Yang Shou saw a huge golden Buddha, almost one meter high, made of bare feet and made of gold. It was a priceless treasure no matter how you looked at it.

Qin Hu said: "In addition, there are five boxes of gold and millions of taels of silver notes. They are all ill-gotten gains collected by the Hu gang over the years. I will never dare to embezzle them, and they will all be dedicated to the emperor."

"Loyal minister, loyal minister, little tiger, it's not in vain for me to hurt you." Yang Shou closed his eyes and touched the golden Buddha statue: "Sure enough, people who are not my race must have different hearts. These barbarians are not allowed to do anything.

"

"Little tiger, you should get up first. Because of your loyalty, I will take care of this matter for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

At this time, Meng Qi walked in from the outside with his head lowered: "Your Majesty, Lord Pei Yun is here."

"Xuan!"

Qin Hu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have resigned."

"Don't leave, stand aside and listen."

Qin Hu felt strange. Pei Yun was the boss of the spy agency, and what he reported were all confidential matters, and many of them were hidden from the light of day.

For example, if the emperor wants to punish someone and there is no evidence, such matters will be left to Pei Yun.

And Pei Yun will use the power of the internal guards to directly capture the Sanfa Division.

How can others know about such a thing?

What does it mean to leave yourself behind?

But the emperor refused to let him go, and Qin Hu definitely couldn't leave either, so he stepped aside and stood there.

After a while, Pei Yun walked in from outside. When he saw Qin Hu, he was stunned, and then rolled his eyes as if he hadn't seen him.

Qin Hu thought to himself that Pei Yun, an old fox, was well versed in the ways of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune in official circles, and was anxious to cut off the relationship with him for fear that he would implicate him.

"I bow to the emperor."

Yang Shou waved his hand: "Pei Aiqing, is there anything important?"

Pei Yun glanced at Qin Hu and snorted coldly, with a rather disdainful expression, meaning that outsiders should be avoided.

Yang Shou waved his hand again: "Little Tiger is my confidant. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is nothing to avoid."

"ah!"

Pei Yun's whole body was shaken, and his eyes started to roll.

Having been favored by such a clever emperor as Yang Shou for many years, Pei Yun was naturally very good at observing people's emotions.

The emperor's words were quite profound, conveying at least three meanings to him.

First, I already know about Qin Hu, and I have no plans to deal with him.

Secondly, you must speak well and turn this big matter into a trivial one.

Thirdly, I deliberately wanted Qin Hu to hear what we said.

Pei Yun quickly said fluently: "Your Majesty, it was quiet inside and outside the capital yesterday. Nothing major happened. If anything happened, it was just trivial things. For example, there was a gang fight in Xingning Fang and Pingkang Fang last night. The local government

It was wiped out, oh, Mr. Qin Xiaohou was also there at the time, and I heard he even helped."

Yang Shou nodded: "Well, I know about this matter. Qin Hu asked for it. That gang is really making trouble. I heard that they are robbing men and dominating women in my Shangjing. They do all kinds of evil.

, is there such a thing?”

"Yes, there must be." Pei Yun said firmly.

"Then it's your fault, Pei Ju, you are truly a loyal minister, and Shangjing is the most benign area. How could such a thing happen?"

"No matter how you say it, you are still at the feet of my emperor. If it is spread out, I will lose face. Fortunately, Qin Hu is here. You should thank him properly."

Yang Shou said with some displeasure: "I also heard that the local government, Chang'an County, Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture, the left and right Jinwu Guards, and the patrol censors all colluded with them. Go and check it out.

In the end, it must be dealt with strictly."

"I have also heard about it, but the Hu Gangcai is very powerful and there are many party members in the court. They are all involved, but I dare to be angry but dare not speak out." Pei Yun catered to the emperor while shirking his responsibility.

"This officialdom must be reorganized!" Yang Shou's voice deepened: "According to the decree, Qin Hu also serves as General Zuojin Wuwei, patrol censor, and is specifically responsible for the later investigation of this case. You will work hard and do your best to eliminate evil."

Qin Hu quickly knelt down and said, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

"Qin Hu!" Yang Shou said in a long voice: "You must remember what I said. No matter who is involved in this major case, I will arrest him, even if he is a founding hero or a first-class noble.

, even my relatives are no exception."

"Don't be merciful. First, go to the Inner Guard Zhao Prison and torture you severely. If you have any problems, I will take care of them."

"Pei Ju, is there anything else?"

Pei Yun was shocked and thought to himself, what on earth is the emperor trying to do? Qin Hu clearly made a mistake, why did he become the imperial envoy of the task force instead?

"Your Majesty has a keen eye for knowing people. Mr. Qin Xiaohou is young and promising, and he will definitely be able to relieve the Emperor's worries. I congratulate you, Your Majesty, and I also congratulate Mr. Qin Xiaohou."

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for the compliment."

Qin Hu thought to himself that the emperor suddenly entrusted him with an important task. It would never be so simple. There might be something going on here!

According to his understanding of the emperor, Yang Shou was by no means a random person.

A mere gangster would not have attracted such attention from his elders.

Sure enough, Yang Shou suddenly darkened his face: "Pei Ju, do you have anything else to say? I have already said that the little tiger is my confidant, so you don't have to worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Emperor asked Wei Chen to investigate the matter a few days ago. Wei Chen has almost completed the investigation. Tang Guogong Li Yuan has really been ill recently, and it is not for no reason that he did not come to see you."

"Can't you die?" Yang Shou suddenly snorted coldly.

A smile appeared on Pei Yun's face: "Your Majesty, it's just an ordinary cold. It's not fatal. Tang Guogong is guarding Taiyuan. He has a lot of troops and works hard. Maybe he is too tired."

"That's good. I'm really worried that my cousin has too many soldiers and horses, and he will be exhausted accidentally!" Yang Shou was displeased and stood up and said: "Passenger, Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty, has outstanding merits.

We will be rewarded with 500 pieces of silk and the whole family will not be allowed to leave Beijing. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate funds to take good care of them."

An idea flashed in Qin Hu's mind, and he finally understood that the Tang Dynasty's military power was in jeopardy, and the Li family in Longxi was so powerful in Taiyuan that it was like a local vassal town. The emperor did not dare to rashly seize his hereditary military power, but Taiyuan

Wherever elite soldiers are sent out, it will definitely be like a thorn in the back, causing unhappiness.

This is the rhythm to deal with him.

But Pei Yunming's eyesight was good, he looked around, and he was smart on all sides, but he was unwilling to make any effort. The emperor could only place his hope on his own gun.

This is probably Yang Shou's real purpose of staying here to "listen".
