"I saw many eunuchs carrying large chests. One of the chests was accidentally knocked over, and all the gold ingots fell out. A rough estimate is that there are more than five thousand taels of gold.”
"There are several hundred bolts of silk and satin, all of which are made from Jianghuai silk!”
Chen Yuanyuan told him everything she had seen and heard in one breath.
"BenGong was wondering why this Li Zhi so readily agreed to appoint Zhang Tang as the Minister of Justice. It turns out that these two people have been having an affair for a long time, and we actually didn't know.”Chen Yuanyuan said again.
The three women's faces instantly darkened.
.......
Although these three women were all extraordinary women, they could not shake off the characteristic of being suspicious. Soon, they suspected Wei Zifu and Mi Yue.
At this moment, Mi Yue and Wei Zifu were also dumbfounded. They did not know why Li Zhi had suddenly given them such a generous reward.
Three days later.
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi had already gathered all the paper workers in the mint, and the renovation of the mint using Lai Junchen's mansion had also been completed.
They were just waiting for Li Zhi to come and check.
These 300 craftsmen were all paper craftsmen found near the capital city. They had brilliant methods and top-notch skills.
These craftsmen had never thought that they would be able to see the Emperor one day, and they were all very excited.
Of course, Li Zhi also knew that there might be spies sent by the eighth empress among these people.
After all, the profit from coining coins was huge, and Lu Zhi would not give up easily.
In addition, Li Zhi wanted to re-coin the coins, so the other seven Empresses also saw an opportunity to interfere. Naturally, they would think of ways to place people among them.
For Li Zhi, the thing he was least afraid of was planting spies.
After all, he had special abilities.
After Li Zhi walked behind these craftsmen, he quickly eliminated all 58 spies.
These spies had all undergone intensive training and were very good at disguising themselves. They all pretended to be honest, but they did not expect to be caught so easily.
"Men, hand these people over to the Embroidered Uniform Guards for interrogation and see who let them infiltrate!”Li Zhi immediately rebuked angrily.
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi were both stunned. Then, they hurriedly asked,"Your Majesty, do you mean that these people are spies?”
"That's right!" Li Zhi said.
"Ah, Your Majesty, how can you say that? This lowly official has always tried his best to choose those loyal people. Moreover, three generations of my ancestors have been investigated. Could it be that there are spies among them?”
These craftsmen were recruited by Zhang Jianzhi and Di Renjie, so they were naturally terrified when a spy appeared.
"You'll know once you ask!" Li Zhi said.
"Your Majesty, we are definitely not spies. Please spare us, Your Majesty!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please spare us!”
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Seeing that Li Zhi was determined to bring them back for trial, these craftsmen began to beg for mercy crazily.
"Hmph, where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards? Hurry up and pull these scums away!”Li Zhi shouted angrily.
"Yes!"
Dozens of Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately rushed over, wanting to pull these craftsmen away.
At this moment.
A determined expression appeared on the faces of these craftsmen.
Then, he bit down lightly.
Instantly, the 58 blacksmiths spat out blood, their eyes rolled back, and they fell to the ground.
The surrounding people were instantly shocked.
At this point, if he still couldn't tell that these people were spies, then he was no different from an idiot.
Who would hide poison in their mouths?
Immediately.
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi immediately knelt on the ground." We have failed in our work. Please punish us, Your Majesty!"”
The two of them were even more uneasy.
Li Zhi waved his hand and said," It has nothing to do with you. This is the doing of someone else. You may rise."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi stood up, feeling uneasy.
If the Emperor hadn't discovered it in time, then the plan of the Mint might have been aborted again.
"Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as torches, and you can see through every detail.”Di Renjie bowed and said. What he said was from the bottom of his heart and did not have the slightest intention of flattery.
After all, Li Zhi was indeed a hundred times better than the two of them in terms of judging people. They had no choice but to accept it.
"Your Majesty has sharp eyes and can clearly distinguish between loyalty and treachery.”Zhang Jianzhi also bent down.
He had been an official for decades and had some attainments in judging people. He thought that he could judge people pretty well, but now in front of Li Zhi, he seemed so childish and ridiculous. Therefore, this old minister admired Li Zhi to the extreme.
"Haha, there's no need for you two to be like this. You are the backbone of our Great Tang, and I can't leave you two.”Li Zhi consoled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
.......
News of what happened at the Mint that day quickly spread to the palaces of Lu Zhi and the other Empresses.
"What?! Fifty-eight people were all picked out?”Lu Zhi was dumbstruck.
For a moment, he actually lost the ability to think.
He couldn't imagine that in just 15 minutes, all 58 spies had been found out.
Could it be that there was a traitor on his side? Did he give Li Zhi the entire list and portrait of the people who infiltrated the Mint?
This was simply impossible. Li Zhi did not even take out any portraits at the scene.
Lu Zhi was instantly confused.
"Empress, don't worry! The forty-odd people we sent had poison hidden in their teeth. If they were discovered, they would use medicine to dispel the poison. These are the strange poisons of the Western Regions and will instantly kill them. Li Zhi will never discover the person behind this.”Lu Ze bowed and said to Lu Zhi with a proud expression.
"Bastard, are you very proud? More than forty people were discovered, and you're still so proud! You're really trash, trash!"
"These b * tches actually tried to meddle in the coin industry and even sent spies to the mint. They deserve it. They were all caught. No one will benefit from this!”Lu Zhi continued angrily.
......
Purple Mansion Hall.
Wu Zetian was also shocked.
He didn't understand what was so strange about Li Zhi that he was able to find all the spies in such a short period of time.
This forced him to look at Li Zhilai seriously.
This rising opponent seemed to be stronger than he had imagined.
