Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chapter 52
Yinyou stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.
The woman was quite good-looking, and looked very heroic in her riding clothes. If her face was not so pale and her fingers holding the whip were not shaking, he might have praised her.
Nasuo looked at the woman with horror, then crawled forward a few steps on his knees and kowtowed to Kangxi, saying, "Your Majesty, my mother did not mean to do this. Please have mercy!"
The woman seemed to react instantly. She knelt on the ground and said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I didn't know you were here. If I had known, I would never have been so disrespectful."
Having said this, she kowtowed to Kangxi and lay on the ground without moving.
She knew in her heart that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully, and it all depended on what the emperor wanted.
Thinking of this, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.
Yin Yu looked at the person in front of him, his expression unchanged. He said to System 679 in his mind, "This person arrived really quickly. I'm afraid he's been here from the beginning, right?"
It had only been a short time since Nasuo's accident. Even if she rode a horse, she couldn't have gotten here so quickly unless she had been here from the beginning.
Upon hearing this, System 679 said to Yinyu in a childish voice, "She is at the farm next door. That farm was given to her as a dowry by Suo Etu."
He paused for a moment before continuing to Yinyu, "There are some good things in her farm. If your father knew about it, he would be furious."
When Yinyu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he asked curiously in his heart, "What good thing is this? Can it make my father mad to death?"
"Should we go check it out?"
Upon hearing this, System 679 said to Yinyu, "What are you looking at? Those things are not suitable for children. You are still young and cannot watch them."
"Just ask your Royal Father to catch them later. Of course, don't even think about the short videos. Even if they are played to you, they will be mosaics and you won't be able to see anything."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yu said to the 679 system with some disdain: "What can you do? I asked you to play a short video and you can't even understand it."
Kangxi, who was standing by, listened to the words of the two men, his eyes fixed on them. After a long pause, he spoke, "I don't know why you dared to do such a thing when I couldn't see you. If I didn't leave today, the world outside the imperial city would be yours."
When Nasuo heard this, he trembled all over. He was younger and had a natural fear of Kangxi. When he heard him say this, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really didn't do anything. At most, I can only be considered a profiteer."
"I can explain the human trafficking issue. The contract I signed with her only allowed her to be a maid. With her current appearance, she can only be a maid!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed towards Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, please understand!"
After kneeling here for such a long time, and with the arrival of his mother, he finally remembered his mother's previous instructions.
No matter who asked, he was talking about buying a maid, but the moment he knew the emperor's identity, he forgot about it.
Kangxi was silent for a long moment. He glanced at the person before him, then suddenly revealed a brilliant smile. He said, "Really? I heard there's a manor nearby where the people aren't allowed to leave and are doing things they can't tell anyone about."
The moment Nasuo's mother heard this, her pupils shrank slightly and she lay on the ground without saying a word.
Nasuo didn't quite understand what was going on. His mother asked him to find someone, so he did.
They were all sent to a nearby farm, but what does the emperor mean now?
Thinking of this, he said to Kangxi in confusion: "Your Majesty, you really wronged us. The people I bought were sent to the nearby farms, but they were both men and women, and they all did hard labor."
"There's also a monthly stipend of one or two taels of silver."
After saying that, he turned around and pointed at Chunhong beside him, and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, ask her. Otherwise, her father would never have sold her to me."
At this moment, a figure wrapped in black landed lightly within a meter of Kangxi. He saluted Kangxi and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, I have just investigated and found that this lady came from a place about a mile away. Before she came, she was taking concubines for several young tribute students."
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Nasuo's face, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly froze. He turned to look at his mother and asked her, "Mother, is what he said true?"
"You're actually arranging concubines for those tribute students?!"
System 679 said to Yinyu in a childish, mechanical voice, "They say they're taking concubines, but that's just pimping. They're just giving women to these tribute students and those with potential. Once they accept them, it's like they've joined their forces. They're like two brothels."
He paused slightly, then continued to Yinyu, "Since the woman has been given to you, she will naturally have to stay in the manor for a day or two."
As for what to do, the 679 system did not say, but Kangxi understood the meaning of his words very well.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the person and asked, "Kang Qiao, do you have anything else to say?"
From the moment he saw her, he knew that Kang Qiao was definitely not as kind as she appeared. This person could stand out among so many people, so she must have extraordinary abilities.
Now it seems that she is brave and courageous enough, which is why Mingzhu chose her.
As for Nasuo, it was because he had a good mother.
Kang Qiao lay on the ground, not daring to move. Her breathing was heavy and her face was pale. After a long while, she asked Kangxi, "What does the emperor want?"
"I have no other request, except that the Emperor will let Nasor go. Just ask for whatever you want."
Kang Qiao was a smart person. The moment she saw Kangxi, she knew that the emperor came here to investigate the land enclosure matter.
Years ago, Lord Suo had told her about this matter and asked her to pay more attention to it. She just didn't expect that the emperor would come out at this time.
When Kangxi heard this, he looked at Kang Qiao and suddenly laughed. He said in a gentle voice, "Kang Qiao, you are a smart person. How could a smart person end up like this?"
After he finished speaking, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said in a somewhat cold voice: "Give me the list, and I will spare Nasuo's life."
The moment Kang Qiao heard this, his breathing paused slightly. Then he looked up at Kangxi and said to him, "Yes, I can give the emperor the list and what he wants, but the emperor must protect Nasuo. Without me, he will die."
If she told him the list, Soetu would be the first one who would not let him go.
If the emperor was willing to take action, he might still have a chance to survive.
Hearing this, Kangxi looked at Kang Qiao for a long while, then he supported Yinyu's butt, nodded at her, and said in a low voice, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the carriage while holding Yinyou.
After Kangxi got on the carriage, he patted Yinyu's back intermittently and said to Liang Jiugong, who was driving the carriage, "Liang Jiugong, send someone to send Chunhong back. Then send someone to carefully investigate the situation in the surrounding fields, and also send someone to keep an eye on the people in the manor."
As he spoke, his voice sank slightly: "Let's go back to the palace now!"
Liang Jiugong bowed slightly to Kangxi and made arrangements for the people around him one by one.
Yin Yu found this a bit strange. He asked the 679 system, "System, why did my father say this in front of Kang Qiao? Isn't he afraid that she will turn against him?"
After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Kang Qiao is really smart."
Kang Qiao was a very smart person to turn against Kangxi in such a short time. She knew that Kangxi had set his sights on them, and there was no such thing as giving up halfway on something Kangxi had set his sights on.
Then Soetu might really be finished.
So Kang Qiao planned to turn against them directly and try to redeem himself for his crimes.
She could also save her son.
Rather than having her son die with the evidence, she would rather use her own life and the things in her hands to ensure that her son will have a comfortable life for the rest of his life.
System 679 listened to Yin Yu's words and nodded in agreement, saying, "Host is right. Kang Qiao is really smart."
Kangxi listened to the words of Yi Yi Tong, leaned back in the carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage moved slowly along the way, and it took about an hour before returning to the palace.
Things were progressing relatively quickly this time. According to Kangxi's estimation, it would take until the afternoon to get the results.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to meet Nasuo, who solved the problem directly.
The moment Yinzhen saw Kangxi carrying Yinyu towards them, he quickly walked over. He glanced around and saluted him, saying, "Father, where did you take Fifteen?"
"We couldn't find you guys, and we were so worried."
Yinreng dodged the crowd and walked towards Kangxi. As he approached, he reached out and pinched Yinyu's face, saying with resentment: "Father Emperor, these old foxes are too smart."
"After today, you have to send me a few days' salary."
Today, the moment they saw his royal father, everyone wanted to find out where his royal father had gone. Now that they saw his royal father had returned, they were obviously more cautious than before.
This is completely different from the way I spoke to him just now.
The force of Yinreng's hand on Yinyou's face was not strong, but the child's skin was very tender, and at this moment, it still became a little red.
Yinyu raised his hand and slapped it down, then said to Kangxi, "Daddy, my brother is bad, my face hurts."
Before Kangxi could even begin to speak, a smile suddenly appeared in his childish, mechanical voice. He said to Yinyu, "Host, host, your second brother has several of Soetu's men around him!"
"No wonder he knows almost everything your second brother does."
The moment Yinreng heard this, his whole body stiffened and he looked at Kangxi in a daze.
His eyes quickly grew sharp. There were spies of Suo Etu around him! How dare Suo Etu place people around him?!
