A part of the Black Armor Guards was sent out to Xianyang, and soon attracted a lot of attention.

However, they soon had no time to pay attention to other things. On the third day, the mansions of many merchants in Xianyang were surrounded, and the people who surrounded them were the Black Armor Guards.

"What are you doing? We are good citizens. Why are you surrounding my house?"

"Let me go. Why did you arrest me?"

"My brother-in-law is a bastard, hurry up and let him go, or I'll make you suffer."

......

Words like these were heard in these people's homes.

Jiang Lu gave an order, "Anyone who disobeys will be considered a traitor and will be killed without mercy."

"Ah!" A scream came.

Some people even asked their servants to rebel against the Black Armor Guards. However, although these servants were armed with sharp weapons, how could they be a match for the well-trained Black Armor Guards? Moreover, these Black Armor Guards were specially trained by Ying Zheng and Wang Ben during this period.

Although they had only been training for a short time, these black-armored guards had already become much stronger.

The screams were endless, the ground was stained red, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Jiang Lu pursed his lips tightly, and kept reminding himself in his heart that he must be ruthless and not be kind at this time. These people deserved to die.

This situation lasted for three days. All the merchants found in other parts of Daqin were cleared out by the army sent by Wang Ben, and a large amount of property and food were confiscated.

The court was not at all peaceful during this period. Many of the people Zhao Qingrui dealt with this time had some connection with officials in the court.

This time, people were killed in large numbers, and many people were scared.

"Your Majesty, those merchants are here to sell refined salt. What is your intention in killing so many merchants? This is to cause turmoil in the business community and undermine the foundation of our Great Qin." Pinghuai Ling Luonan was pushed out as the leader of the opposition. This time his brother-in-law was also killed, and all his property was confiscated.

He sent people over at that time, but Master Jianglu and the others were nowhere to be found. His plea was useless and they were still killed.

Especially when his house was searched, he felt very uneasy.

He has received a lot of help from his brother-in-law over the years. If he finds out something, he will not be able to live a comfortable life like he does now.

"Why is Lord Luo so anxious? Are you worried about being discovered?" Luo Nan's relationship with a certain merchant gave Zhao Qingrui an unexpected surprise. She was worried that she had no way to get him down, and then the opportunity came into her hands.

"I am innocent. I only want to maintain the stability of the Qin Dynasty." Luo Nan looked righteous, but in fact, his heart was trembling. Being stared at by this little princess, he felt his scalp tingling. Was she going to punish him?

Thinking of the fate of those officials who had opposed Zhao Qingrui during this period, Luo Nan felt a little regretful for jumping out.

"Lord Luo is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is truly a model for court officials." Zhao Qingrui curled his lips.

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. I am just doing my duty." Luo Nan bowed.

"Your Majesty, when I confiscated the Yin family's property the day before yesterday, I found the letters between the Yin family and Lord Luo." Jiang Lu stood up.

"Present it." Looking at the things that Jiang Lu presented with both hands, Ying Zai said lightly. He had already known about this matter in advance.

Zhao Gao walked over and presented the silk letter.

Ying Zheng took it, looked at it carefully, and then became furious.

"How bold! Luo Nan, you have such a big guts that you instruct your brother-in-law to sell illegal salt and sell the strategic materials and border defense situation of the Qin Dynasty to the Huns." Ying Zheng clapped his hands, and his voice was like a bell, ringing above Luo Nan's head.

Everyone else in the court widened their eyes. Strategic materials and intelligence, isn't this guy a little too bold?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never committed treason." Luo Nan was frightened and knelt down immediately. He did take some money, but he would not dare to commit treason even if he had a hundred guts.

I was completely shocked at this moment.

"Haha, you didn't. Yin Pingguang learned a lot of information from you, and he sold all this information to the Huns. Do you think you have no responsibility?" Ying Zheng's voice was cold and stern, staring at him intently, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Ying Zheng's words made Luo Nan's face change drastically. His brother-in-law really liked to ask him about the affairs of the court and often asked him to drink.

It was hard for him not to think too much at this moment.

Collapsing on the ground, he knew that he was really finished this time.

Ying Zheng didn't even look at Luo Nan. He had him dragged out, his official uniform taken off, and he was taken into custody.

He was not killed directly, but he and his family were sent to build the imperial mausoleum.

Luo Nan was dragged away with a deathly pale face. Those people who had instigated Luo Nan before were now dispirited. The businessmen behind them who had gotten into trouble all had problems to varying degrees, and they did not dare to confront His Majesty in the Qilin Palace.

When I get back, I must cut off ties with those people, otherwise they will be doomed too.

"Those who caused the trouble this time will be demoted three levels and fined one year's salary." Ying Zheng's eyes fell on those who caused the trouble.

After everyone was punished, they immediately became obedient.

Everyone calmed down, and Ying Zheng began to talk about today's political affairs.

The refined salt has been transported back and needs to be promoted in the central region. Every place must be prepared.

As orders were issued one after another, the institutions in the court began to operate rapidly.

After leaving the court, Ying Zheng left all matters to Zhao Qingrui. Just as she was handling government affairs, Li Si and Feng Quji came over.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"No need to be so polite. Father is in Shanglin Garden. If there is anything important, I will ask someone to call him back." Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them. It was probably not a small matter if the two prime ministers came together.

"Your Highness, it's about the assessment. The test papers are out, and I would like to ask Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess to review them." Feng Quji bowed.

Zhao Qingrui is no different from the crown prince now, and both of them feel helpless.

"Regarding this matter, let me take a look at the test paper. I will send someone to call my father back right away." Zhao Qingrui said seriously. This was indeed not a trivial matter.

After this assessment, many of her people should be able to enter the court.

"Your Highness, please take a look." Li Si handed over the test paper.

There are a total of four sets of questions this time, which were decided after he and Feng Quji repeatedly considered them over the past few days.

Zhao Qingrui took it and looked at it carefully. There were several alternatives, and Zhao Qingrui raised his eyebrows.

After looking at it carefully, I found that these questions are similar to the last time, but slightly less difficult, and there are also essay questions at the end.

As expected of the left and right prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty, their learning ability is so strong. Last time, she only mentioned a few essay questions, and they knew how to set them. The difficulty level was quite high. These next few questions were the key to selecting talents.

When Zhao Qingrui looked at them, both of them knew that these questions were modeled after the essay questions Zhao Qingrui had given last time. Such questions could also show the ability of officials, and both of them felt that they were very necessary.
