Shaoyin of the Luoyang Mansion threw down the clothes at hand and asked the concubine beside him to retreat.
"Cui Dunli, have you grown up?" Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin called him by his first name, which was already a huge insult.
Cui Dunli was a civil servant and was not equipped with a sword.
After entering the house, he reached out and borrowed Wu Bin's sword and raised it: "There are one hundred magic weapons in the Prince of Qin's Palace. So far, there are less than ten people who actually possess these magic weapons. The Prince of Qin has issued an order that Shaoyin of Luoyang Palace has committed a serious crime.
copy!"
What does the word "copy" mean? Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture did not react for a while.
He wanted to ask Cui Dunli, but another general came into the room with more than a dozen people and saluted Cui Dunli: "Brother, I am going to find something in this room!" It was the old wolf who came. Cui Dunli nodded: "General, you are free.
."
With Cui Dunli's permission, Lao Lang waved his hand, and the two sergeants holding hammers rushed forward.
"How dare you!" Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin shouted, but before he could continue speaking, his neck was pinched by the old wolf. The old wolf turned back to Cui Dunli and said: "Chang Shi, King Qin taught a certain trick to call a tainted witness.
, if you make great achievements, you will not only be exempted from crime, but you will also be rewarded, and you can even be promoted to one rank!"
Cui Dunli understood, this was to make the prisoner's accomplices betray him.
It is really a cruel trick. In extraordinary times, this trick is more effective than torture.
Cui Dunli watched the two sergeants smashing the wall, looking forward to something appearing.
Soon, many large and small wooden boxes were found from the mezzanine of the wall. The sergeant held these wooden boxes in front of Cui Dunli. Cui Dunli looked through the contents of the wooden boxes and asked: "That... stain
Who is the witness? This merit can be recorded!"
"His brother-in-law! He was the first to provide this interior wall mezzanine!" Old Wolf smiled and motioned to decorate Luoyang Shaoyin.
Luoyang Shaoyin felt a chill, having been betrayed by the person he trusted most. At this time, he suddenly thought of Wang Junkuo, and the rumored Blood Night in Liangzhou. People said that this King of Qin was kind, but at this time he
I felt that the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty was not kind, and when he really took action, he always took the blame.
"I want to see King Qin!"
"You will see him. His Highness is waiting for you." Cui Dunli waved his hand and signaled the sergeants to escort Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin out. Then he waved his hand to block the old wolf: "Please keep this thing safe."
When Lao Lang looked at the account book in Cui Dunli's hand, it was obviously a record of Luoyang Shaoyin's donation.
On it, there is the name of Hou Junji.
Cui Dunli turned back again and pointed at one of the pages. Old Wolf took a breath of chill when he saw it, because that was Wei Zheng's name. Cui Dunli then said: "Don't make it public yet, Wei Changshi was from the East Palace before.
so……"
"I understand, I will keep this thing close to my heart."
"Thank you, I will make up my mind after discussing with His Highness. In short, it has been decided that Hou Junji will be transferred back to Chang'an. The Luoyang treasury will be taken over by the Prince of Qin's Palace. There are spies around Qu Tutong. Luoyang's military and political affairs must all be replaced. The general is temporarily
Stay in Luoyang." This was Cui Dunli's suggestion. Old Lang listened carefully and nodded: "I can afford it!"
Old Lang is no longer the rough guy who only knew how to kill people. He served as a guard of Li Yuanxing, led troops to fight in battles, and has recently been responsible for many affairs. He is not good at developing Luoyang, but he is capable of taking care of Luoyang officials for the time being.
of.
It was getting daylight gradually, and there was no longer any shouting or shouting in Luoyang Mansion.
The only ones who really died were only three or five people. They were all die-hard characters. Ordinary sergeants would not risk their lives. If the situation was not right, they would have thrown down their weapons and surrendered long ago.
In Luoyang Mansion, the sound of writing continued.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has given everyone a chance. You must first write your confession before you can be qualified to become a tainted witness. However, if your confession is not sincere and you only talk about trivial matters to get away, once someone else
If you report something serious, then behead!" A sergeant brandished a knife and said to a group of officials.
A civil servant wrote four words on the paper, got up and walked out.
"Breeze on both sleeves!" the guarding sergeant recited.
"Qingfeng? His Highness the King of Qin once said that officials are not corrupt, but officials who are dedicated to their duties may not necessarily be good officials. They turn a blind eye to corruption and live outside the world when faced with wrongdoing of the law. Such an official can only be called a mediocre ordinary person at best.
Just an official, I advise you to finally sit down and write seriously, in the Prince of Qin's Palace you, a self-righteous person like you, are not even qualified to polish ink!"
The one who spoke was just an ordinary captain guarding this place.
The scribe shouted angrily: "Bold maniac, you are just a cheap soldier, and you are disrespectful to a scholar!"
"Sir, are you worthy? His Highness the King of Qin once said that the soldiers of the country should serve the country and the people. We soldiers fought bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty. We are soldiers. You turned a blind eye when you saw corruption and perversion of the law, and you are worthy of being called a soldier. You dare to say,
Don’t you know everything about Luoyang Mansion? Does anyone have any evidence against him?”
At that moment, seven or eight civil servants raised their hands: "When the charcoal salary was distributed, he also received it!"
Charcoal fuel is the heating fee in winter. This is filial piety from the officials below, and it can be regarded as an alternative to petty corruption.
"Everyone accepts it. Officials all over the world do the same. Why is it a crime?"
"Are you referring to a deer as a horse?" the military academy shouted.
As soon as the allusion referring to a deer as a horse came out, everyone was silent.
The sergeants in the Qin Palace were well-educated and had a lot of knowledge, so they learned and applied allusions like this.
The civil servants did not dare to show any contempt, they lowered their heads and quickly wrote their own confessions, or exposed others' writings.
When Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture met Li Yuanxing, the second part of the first batch of supplies from Chang'an had just arrived.
Yuchi Gong was sitting under the shed, drinking ginger soup. The spring rain was cold, and he was marching in a hurry in the rain. Moreover, there were 10,000 slaves in this group, so he was really afraid of losing a few.
Yuchi Gong felt so tired that it was difficult to open his eyes.
"His Royal Highness, King of Qin, I want to ask you, I am not a good official for punishment. I am a third-rank official, and without the Holy Spirit's will, do you want to set up a private torture hall?" Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture was not afraid at all.
He believed that as long as he got to Chang'an, countless people would protect him. The gifts he had sent to Chang'an over the years amounted to more than a million dollars!
Li Yuanxing sat on the horse stool and ignored Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin, but listened to a man dressed as an old farmer.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!" Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin's voice rose a few degrees.
Li Yuanxing then raised his head, with obvious displeasure in his eyes.
"You bastard!" Before Li Yuanxing could react, Yu Chigong stood up and slapped him across the face. Then he threw a short knife on the ground: "If this guy dares to say another word more, his tongue will be cut off!" Yu Chigong was angry, especially
I heard that Qu Tutong was almost dead, and he seemed to be angry at someone, so he wanted to take it out on someone.
Li Yuanxing did not look at Luoyang Prefecture Shaoyin again. He knew that when he beat Wang Shichong, Yuchi Gong owed Qu Tutong a favor, which was a life-long favor.
Ignoring Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin anymore, Li Yuanxing motioned to the man dressed as an old farmer to continue speaking.
That person was not an old farmer, but the ninth-grade official in charge of the river work.
The junior officials are no longer capable of being scary. The sixth-rank magistrate was thrown into the mud like a dead dog. The third-rank Shaoyin was threatened to cut out his tongue. The person in front of him was a high official, a prince, and he was
A good official who makes decisions for the people.
"Your Highness, these kinds of stones are very light, which saves a lot of manpower in transportation, and the masonry also saves a lot of labor. But they are very weak. A foot of river embankment can save 30 yuan in labor and material costs."
Li Yuanxing picked up a few stones and looked at them, and couldn't help but said in his heart: "Good stuff."
Some of the stones in Li Yuanxing's hand are basalt, which was formed by volcanoes in ancient times, and some are even lighter than water. Then there are also some zeolites, which are the finest raw materials for papermaking, rubber and other industries.
In later modern times, it was only discovered and utilized by Europeans at the end of the 18th century.
However, when used as a river embankment, this stone is really useless.
Stones that are too loose, too brittle, and have no strength at all. It can be said that the river embankment for dozens of miles has been entirely supported by soil.
Li Yuanxing had finished asking questions, and then he stood up and came to Cui Dunli: "One foot of river embankment only costs three hundred wen, which is not enough for the one hundred taels of gold. It seems that there are still many problems!"
"Your Highness, this is a matter for the Ministry of Justice!" Cui Dunli whispered back.
"Why do you say that?" Li Yuanxing was puzzled.
Cui Dunli approached Li Yuanxing and whispered about the account book he found. Li Yuanxing also frowned. He glanced sideways at Luoyang Shaoyin: "No wonder he looks confident and fearless. Someone will protect him when he gets to Chang'an!"
"
"There are too many people involved!" Cui Dunli also said in response: "Not only the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but also the court and Tianying Pavilion are involved. If it is revealed, this will be another big case. If
If he doesn't open it, he can naturally retreat, move down a few ranks, and become an official in another place!"
"If you continue to cut off, you will suffer chaos!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Li Yuanxing breathed out softly, fighting his final psychological struggle.
Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture is not afraid of Li Yuanxing, but he is afraid of these lawless generals.
When he saw Li Yuanxing walking towards him, Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" Li Yuanxing said.
Shaoyin of Luoyang Prefecture smiled coldly and did not answer.
Li Yuanxing also smiled coldly: "This is the king's order, and all those involved in the case will be arrested. Those who commit minor crimes can enjoy the special case of tainting witnesses, and those who commit serious crimes will be executed."
After saying that, Li Yuanxing turned back and glared at Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin: "You are guilty, and I will borrow your head to sacrifice to heaven!"
"How dare you! I was appointed by the Supreme Emperor himself..."
"General Yuchi..." Li Yuanxing would not give him a chance to talk such nonsense.
Yuchi Gong, the god of death on the battlefield. He had long disliked the young Yin of the Luoyang Prefecture. It was as if he had made a deal with Li Yuanxing. As soon as Li Yuanxing called him, he moved.
I saw Yu Chigong pull out his guard's waist knife with his backhand, the cold light passed by, and the head fell!
Just when Luoyang Prefecture Shaoyin's blood spurted into the sky, suddenly the dark clouds dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone on Li Yuanxing. Li Yuanxing himself was shocked. If this was a coincidence, the chance was infinitely close to zero. Could it be,
Are there really gods? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
