Because, at the end of the century-old great expedition, except for the five directions of Tianzhu, the South China Sea Islands, Xiao'ao, Xinzhou, southern Shanzhou, Taixi and Daqin and other vast foreign lands, almost all the neighboring places on the four sides of the barbarians and nine borders were occupied by various countries.
The princes of Zhongping feudal clan took advantage of every opportunity.
Therefore, Emperor Xianyuan, who had many heirs at that time, saw that many of his relatives, nobles and clansmen had no real estates to seal. So he racked his brains and tried hard to solve the ancestral family law that could not be sealed in the land of Kyushu.
A little bit of edge balling or a small opening was made.
That is to say, many islands outside the Eastern Continent, distributed between the North Sea and the South China Sea, and close to the coast were treated as fiefs and granted to those newly promoted relatives and clans as benevolence and holy rewards. Therefore, this batch of new people
Jue has thus become a rather special existence.
They can be said to be serious vassals, but they are in no way comparable to the original vassals. They can break up the earth and seal a town like the ancient Xia Dynasties. They can be said to be national lords, but they actually own them.
Fiefs located on large and small islands and a number of resettled residents.
Of course, in a sense, even the most prominent Nanhai Palace in the south, and the two large and small clans in Guangfu and Dongning, each only own the territories of Hainan and Yizhou Island;
The chief of the vassal and vassal states was responsible for pastoring the East China Sea, and the princes of the South China Sea were divided into vassals;
Therefore, after being passed down through the generations, a large number of offshore island vassal lords who could not be promoted or demoted were accumulated within the vassal system of the country. The more prominent among them was sitting in Wengshan County, while the small
There may only be a few small fishing villages.
Just like the prince of the Lu family who was implicated this time, the family's residence, Shamenyi, is located on Shamen Island off the coast of Penglai County, Dengzhou. Although it was once a deserted place where birds didn't poop, it happened to be close to the Bohai Strait.
Located at the boundary between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the situation is dangerous and there are many capes. Therefore, it has become an important shelter for many ships traveling to the Northeast by sea. In addition, the Tang Dynasty discovered and expanded Xinzhou in the early years, and one of the channels for transporting tribute was just right.
Go through here.
Therefore, although the Lu family's Shamenyi was just a small vassal at the end of the dynasty, it caught up with the good times and reaped the dividends, and became a wealthy family among the new rich of the island vassal. It was not only close to the water, but also the sailors who came to the water.
Thanks to his connections, he also owns several shipping groups that trade overseas.
But in any case, as a member of the vassal system, even if you are an archipelago prince at the end of the discrimination chain, you are also in the state and dynasty system, and you have corresponding levels of immunity and preferential treatment; for example, you cannot be easily punished for being imprisoned for corruption.
, the interrogation must be accompanied by personnel from both chambers.
However, the other party didn't even have a chance to defend himself, and just ran away. In any case, he slapped the school in the face, and confirmed the suspicion and guilt in a certain sense. It also set the stage for what Jiang Tian would do next.
Subsequent actions provided more sufficient evidence and reasons.
Therefore, immediately after, several Jinwujie disciples arrived one after another and reported to Jiang Tian in accordance with the regulations. Then they took the order to join in the search of various places in the vassal council. After all, the vassal council is more powerful than Tongchengfang.
It occupies a large area, and Jiang Tian's current manpower is not enough.
Jiang Tian also took the seized criminal evidence and captured suspects, etc., and the hospital, which did not show up during the whole process, entrusted Shen Yizhi to be the only negotiating representative, and invited him to a large auditorium located in the vassal academy.
It is considered as a temporary station and central command and coordination location.
However, the results of the subsequent searches made Jiang Tian somewhat astonished. Although most of them had nothing to do with the clues being pursued, a variety of contraband and illegal activities were uncovered during the raid.
, but there are a lot of them.
Just like the sludge rising from the disturbed stagnant water and the fish and shrimps scrambling to escape; shocked by the meticulous and rough search and the chain reaction of alerting the snake,
They were forced to surface one after another, or they lost their hiding places and coverings.
For example, some people actually keep pink dogs in the breeding house for a long time, and it is shared by many people. Some people secretly keep hawks, dogs and other playthings, and even the larvae of ferocious beasts. There are also private groups under the name of an association with the same name.
Gambling venues, and even regular gambling activities.
There are even teaching staff who take advantage of their status and position to bring and sell various prohibited items that are not allowed to enter school, and even special technicians from outside flower shops; or they provide cover and cover for them to obtain corresponding benefits.
Shares, or regular gifts provided privately...
In contrast, those who hire imposters to pretend to complete their studies and take exams on their behalf, while they themselves spend the day and night outside, partying and singing; or they spend money to bribe low-level faculty members to avoid doing so on the pretext of participating in internships and special classes.
, on the contrary, it is quite normal.
As for why Jiang Tian is so knowledgeable about this, the reason is very simple. A few years ago, his predecessor was also one of the candidates for the exam. He not only saw the weirdness with his own eyes, but also was recruited by senior seniors.
Participated in the underground transportation channels for other branches.
It was only later that something happened that hit him deeply, and he had to take the initiative to leave the feudal school; at the cost of giving up his studies of more than ten subjects, he temporarily got rid of a certain vortex of right and wrong. Now, although things have become things.
People are different, but Jiang Tian will not become magnanimous because of this.
For example, the predecessor who supported Jiang Tian, but did not hesitate to set up a trap and turned him into a scapegoat; another example is the predecessor who once made his predecessor attracted and obsessed with him, but always kept aloof and kept a sufficient distance until
At the last moment, the senior who was teased and applauded,
This time, Jiang Tian was able to legitimately obtain the records of the year and the whereabouts of the relevant persons on the pretext of expanding the scope of the investigation. However, they had either returned to the feudal residence, married away from home, or had become here, and
The same "out of contact pending investigation" label as its predecessor.
But just these incidental issues that were uncovered also vaguely involved another, somewhat shocking situation; that is, in just the past two years, all kinds of normal and abnormal students left the school and lost their jobs.
The number of connected incidents has inadvertently amounted to hundreds of cases.
And in the current process of tracing and searching, it was discovered that at least a dozen related descendants of the vassal family were suspected of running away one after another after the search began. Although, not all of them may be related to the current investigation.
But it is enough to make the school disgraced and lose face.
At noon the next day, along with a pit and corpses that were accidentally dug out, a horrifying murder that occurred in the academy was revealed in broad daylight. It was a strange sect from the Drifting Ghost Kingdom.
The prince, Ke Yuzhi, was murdered, quartered and buried under his bed.
As the murderer, he was one of his former subordinates and followers. After committing the crime, the other party even took over his identity and openly lived and studied in the feudal academy with his original concubines and others for more than half a year.
; It was not until this search operation that he was alerted and escaped.
During this period, the counterfeiter was not only quite active, he even organized a society dedicated to appreciating and identifying rare creatures from the outside world. Among the several people who interacted closely with him on a daily basis, there was the suspected one.
Raising beasts and ghosts, uu reading the prince of Lu Fan who is also on the run...
But in any case, once major crimes involving princes and vassals are involved, the level of the situation is not limited to the immediate control of the administrative academy. It was only on the morning of the third day that Jiang Tian entered the feudal academy that the prison guard from Xineiyuan
, and the cavalry team from the Lifan Academy entered the school one after another.
"Jiang Supervisor, are you just trying to deal with the princes' families?" The person in charge of leading the team smiled and said: "After a hundred years of peace in the country, the number of vassal families that have been reduced in rank and rank in the past dynasties is only a dozen;
But in your hands, first you have the Xiao family of Yu Fan, then the Zeng family of Gaomi Hou, and now you have Lu Fan and Qi Fan."
"Wait a minute, what's going on with Zeng, the Marquis of Gaomi?" Jiang Tian said confusedly: "This is the imperial court's decision and punishment. What does it have to do with me? I have not participated in any of it..."
"Because, a few days ago, someone brought out a certificate in the court, proving that after Gaomi Marquis Zeng was deprived of his title, he still had no intention of repenting and was full of resentment!" The visitor said meaningfully: "Even before leaving the capital, he sold the seller.
With the proceeds from the investment, he secretly placed a high-priced red ticket for buying and killing people. In the past, all men below the direct lineage of the Marquis of Gaomi were given death, and the rest of the family members were far away in the Qingtang Mansion."

"I never thought that the Superintendent is really capable. Not only did the assassins who caught wind of the incident fail to hurt you at all, but even the hiding place was swept away by thunder. Therefore, no one will dare to take this advantage in a short time.
…”
Jiang Tian couldn't help but suddenly realized that after arriving in Dongdu, he encountered a sudden assassination in the hot spring street. It turned out that there was such a reason and background!
