Su Ping investigated a major corruption case and arrested two people, but their behavior was completely different.
Tian Qun was very honest. He opened his mouth and bit out all the people in the group, including two third-grade officials. Zhang Guan, on the other hand, refused to say anything. He beat them to pieces and still refused to say anything.
Although Tian Qun confessed, it was still difficult for Xue Shilang to start, because only the emperor could punish officials of third rank or above. The emperor did not speak, and Xue Pang had no power to directly search the residences of third-rank officials.
It is said that the emperor was also very concerned about the "Lushungang Corruption Case" and demanded a strict investigation. But something strange happened. When Xue Pang presented what he thought was "irrefutable evidence" to the emperor, the emperor said that the evidence was insufficient. Therefore,
He also criticized Xue Pang for his poor performance.
Being criticized by the emperor, Xue Pangzhi's annoyance was written on his face. He went crazy and asked his subordinates to handle the case quickly and collect more evidence. If he submits "irrefutable evidence" next time and is rejected by the emperor, then Xue Pang will have no shame in being a minister again.
Already.
Su Ping had long commented that Xue Pang was a death-rushing ghost. Now this ghost broke out and stayed in the Punishment Department all day and night. He simply regarded the Punishment Department as his home. As soon as he showed his strength, Feng Shilang was not to be outdone and moved to the Punishment Department to live.
These two ministers were working hard, and they were really working hard.
When an official strives for success, his subordinates are in bad luck. They are all so busy that they hit their feet on the back of the head, making them exhausted both physically and mentally.
During this period, Mei Ran found out that there were nine action teams under Xue Pang, each of which was handling nine major cases.
There is not much contact between the nine persons in charge of major cases, but there are many exchanges between small swordsmen like Mei Ran. Especially Mei Ran is a beautiful girl, a sight in the swordsman class. Everyone has nothing to say to talk to her, Mei Ran
It's extremely easy to get information.
Mei Ran told Su Ping, you don't need to be too anxious, because the other eight groups don't even have a single "iron-hard evidence" now. Only you have made progress, so Xue Pang was the first to submit the major corruption case. And the other eight groups, because
Xue Pang became angry because of his poor performance and dismissed three of the inspectors.
It is said that Xue Pang wants to recruit capable people from other yamen, but I don't know who he can recruit.
Su Ping didn't care about the affairs of other groups, and he only listened to Mei Ran's words for fun. In addition, Mei Ran's worries were unnecessary. Su Ping rarely got angry because of work matters.
At this time, Su Ping was thinking about how to extract money from Han Fei and find out who was behind him; and how to take revenge on Zhao Lian, the crown prince of Qi.
"This crossbow belongs to a bad person. I don't know which unlucky guy lost this thing. He will probably be punished. Maybe even a lawsuit." Su Ping held a folding crossbow in his hand and put it in.
In your pocket, hide it.
Mei Ran said: "Is it so serious?"
Su Ping smiled bitterly: "That's not true. Crossbows are special contraband. Unless hunters are hunters in mountainous areas, they are not allowed to be hidden secretly. And in Luoyang City, there are no hunters at all. So once a crossbow is found hidden in a private house, it is a felony.
.The bows and crossbows distributed by the Jinwu Guards, Taoist soldiers, bad guys, and Wuyamen are all numbered and are not allowed to be lost. Once lost, it is a crime. Prevent weapons from flowing out through regular channels."
They agreed to release them today, but Su Ping did not release Zhang Fakui, Lao Wu, and Lao Liu. When it was almost time to get off work, Han Fei sent Zhu Kun to inquire again.
Su Ping said to Zhu Kun, I'm really sorry, the problem is serious now. Someone reported this crossbow, and now I say I picked it up from the culvert, but Shangguan is not easy to fool, they don't believe it.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun ran back to find Han Fei. Han Fei gritted his teeth and sent another two hundred taels.
This time, Su Ping collected the money behind Mei Ran's back. Otherwise, if she saw it, she would have to give her half. However, she confiscated the one hundred taels last time. As Su Ping said, I paid for it with my life.
. As a result, Mei Ran couldn't bear to share his money.
Su Ping felt a little sorry for collecting money behind Qingxi's back. After get off work, she bought new clothes for Mei Ran. She spent a couple of silver and bought a long dress with white gauze and red gauze. She thought it looked pretty and was pleased with it. of.
She just said that this girl was easy to fool, and she could make her happy with just one tael of money. She also advised Su Ping in turn, you are not very rich now, so stop thinking of yourself as Young Master Su, and you should know how to save money. And so on.
Hearing her say this, Su Ping's guilt deepened.
At this time, Su Ping's only "overseas asset" was the teahouse, and Su Ping was still beating the drum in his heart. If he really entered the princess's mansion, wouldn't the property violate the "Taiping Alliance", so Su Ping considered it.
Pass this property into the name of the Su family.
But now Su Ping felt that he had offended many people in Luoyang City, and he was afraid that someone would retaliate against the Su family, so it was better to let them stay in Chang'an. So Su Ping planned to put this house in Mei Ran's name.
But the adopted property also has to be taxed, which is a big loss. Su Ping wants to do something wrong: If he marries Mei Ran and then gets divorced, will the house be placed in the name of his ex-wife?
Obviously, this idea was outrageous in the Liang Dynasty. Because the divorce rate in the Liang Dynasty was very low. If a woman was divorced, it would be a great shame and humiliation. How could Su Ping bear to let Mei Ran bear it?
But in the aristocratic circle, divorce is nothing new. They all say "dirty Tang, stinky man", in which dirty Tang refers to the life style of the Tang Dynasty. The Li Tang Group was more serious about Huhua, so the women of the Tang Dynasty were bold, and
Life is also quite chaotic.
For example, Wu Meiniang was originally Li Shimin's woman, but it turned out that she had an affair with the prince Li Zhi. After Li Shimin died, Li Zhi sent Wu Meiniang to live in the temple.
After a while, she was brought back to the palace and became Li Zhi's woman.
Then there are Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei was originally the daughter-in-law of Tang Xuanzong.
There is also Princess Xiangyang, the daughter of Emperor Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty. She loves to pay private visits incognito. Her life is even more indescribable. On the street, she can take away any handsome man she likes with just a finger.
There were more than twenty princesses in the Tang Dynasty who were married twice, and three of them were married three times. After Wu Meiniang became emperor, she opened a harem, which was the first of its kind.
At this time, although the Liang Dynasty was somewhat restrained compared to the Tang Dynasty, it generally inherited the style of the Tang Dynasty. It is no wonder that the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River said that it was orthodox, while the Northern Dynasty was a barbarian.
The life style of the first two princesses of the Tang family can actually smell some of the Tang style. And the current Tang Qiu Mengsu and his like also have this virtue.
"What are you going to do with the crossbow machine?"
After buying clothes, Su Ping came to Chengfeng Tea House to rest, and Mei Ran brought a pot of tea.
Su Ping took a sip of tea and said, "Just give this favor to Tong Yin."
Mei Ran said: "The bad guys are also divided into the north and the south. This crossbow machine was obtained by a thief in the north city. It is probably not lost by Tong Yin's men."
Su Ping said: "What do you still care about when doing favors?"
Meiran shrugged.
The Ye sisters have gone somewhere today, and there are only Lu Sanniang and a few female waiters in the house. The waiters are all members of the Red Flower Club, but the composition of the Red Flower Club is very complicated, and the masters are particularly powerful, and this group has no ability.
Work is better like an extra.
I don’t know what the leader of the Honghua Society thinks. Now that the Honghua Society is half-dead, is he planning to give up?
However, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to the Red Flower Club. He was not in the mood to tease the little girl, so he gave Hua Qianzhu fifteen yuan and asked her to buy the largest bunch of candied haws.
Since sugar is very expensive, candied haws on a stick is considered a more luxurious snack. The little guy accepted the money with a smile on his face and shyly, trotted out, ran back panting, held the candied haws on a stick in front of Su Ping, and said that he would give it to Su Ping's brother and brother Su Ping first.
Sister Meiran eats it.
Su Ping thought the child had a lot of potential, so he rewarded her with another thirty coins. The little guy was very happy.
While Su Ping was playing with the children, the Ye sisters came back, and Ye Guhong was holding an infant baby in his arms.
Everyone gathered to take a look, and saw that the doll looked good, with a pair of big eyes, a high bridge of nose, holding small fists, and looking blankly at the group of people in front of them.
Lu Sanniang asked, whose family this child belongs to?
Ye Guhong said he picked it up on the street.
Everyone wanted to look through the baby to see if there were any clues left by the parents, but Ye Guhong said there was no need to look, there were no clues.
A group of people said that they wanted to name the child. Ye Guhong also said that now that the Honghua Society could not support itself, it was better not to keep the child. She knew a demon master named Ji and wanted to give the child to him.
people.
Lu Sanniang said anxiously: "Isn't it a sin to give the child to him?"
Ye Guhong said: "Today is different from the past. He has given up those crooked ways and specialized in practicing the "Suzaku Sutra". But while practicing this skill, he went too far and damaged his body. He will never have children in this life. So he wants to have children.
It’s not a disaster, it’s a matter of being a child to support. I believe in Ji Kuchan’s character. After his master dies, he will not do those things that are harmful to nature and justice.”
Lu Sanniang nodded and said: "His master is not a human being, but Ji Kuchan is not a thing like his master."
Later, Su Ping found out that Ji Kuchan was Ye Hanshuang's senior brother. Ye Hanshuang killed her master, but her senior brother did not hate her, but supported her.
Because Ye Hanshuang killed her mentor, she said that she was shameless and wanted to commit suicide. It was Ji Kuchan who persuaded her not to do stupid things. Later, Ye Hanshuang did not die, but she ruined her face with a knife. This is the scar on her face.
The origin of.
I don’t know how she killed her master, nor why she killed her master. Ji Kuchan kept this secret, and Ji Kuchan also did something incredible, he also cut his own face.
When Su Ping saw Ji Kuchan, he was quite shocked.
He was a tall man, only in his early thirties, but his hands were as rough as old tree bark due to practicing evil arts.
He looked at the infant girl with pitiful eyes and said with a smile: "She became my child because of the Sutra of Sutra, so let's call her Suzaku."
