Chapter 953: He Really Dared to Kill
"Then the next one. Jiang Ning was too lazy to be polite, the little skill he taught Lin Chong could only be regarded as a fur for himself, but these so-called furs were all slowly comprehended after Jiang Ning entered the Star Pole Realm, and for a master in the fantasy world, it was enough for him to use for a lifetime. If you can fully comprehend it, it is not impossible to get out of this fantasy world. What should be given to Lin Chong, he has taught him without the slightest reservation, and more, even if he is willing to teach, with the other party's current realm, he may not be able to comprehend it.
The next process is very simple, although the other three are also super first-class masters, but there is still a little gap compared to Li Mu and Lin Chong.
In addition, the weapons they used were not the long swords that Jiang Ning was good at, so the process of pointing was very simple, and it didn't take long to end, but the eyes of the three people who looked at Jiang Ning after they finished also began to become very respectful.
Originally, when Li Mu's challenge failed, a few of them thought that they would still be able to kill Jiang Ning if they rushed up, but after fighting each other earnestly, they knew that this person was simply unfathomable, if it weren't for Li Mu and Lin Chong's decision to let this guy guide them, instead of going up directly to assassinate each other, it is likely that a few of them would already be corpses on the ground now.
Asking for advice was just a choice, but it inadvertently saved their lives and gave them a great opportunity.
For those in every world who are ahead of everyone in one aspect, what they want most is a master who can guide them forward.
But at this point, every step in the next step needs them to try and figure it out on their own, and no one can help at all.
Therefore, those masters who have been famous for a long time on the rivers and lakes make appointments with each other in order to draw some different nutrients from opponents of equal strength.
That Li Mu chose to take the opportunity of assassination to challenge a group of masters one by one, but no one objected to his request, because they no longer had a master who could guide them in the cultivation of their own weapons. Especially at the moment, they have a common purpose, and there is no deep hatred for each other, and they will definitely not kill each other, so everyone readily accepts it.
After it was over, everyone parted ways and went back to their respective homes, but Xiao Qin and Li Mu got together and muttered for a long time, and finally the two walked side by side and left in the same direction.
"Okay!" Jiang Ning looked at the backs of the two people leaving, shook his head and said with a smile: "There are lovers in the world who are dangling in front of me, and bullying this sword fairy can't see Que'er, right?"
People who are alone in a different place are the most likely to touch the scene, and if the people around them are not there, they will inevitably feel very lonely when they encounter similar scenes.
Jiang Ning's heart is now more calm, but after the years, the thoughts of those people in his heart are like mellow wine, and they are more and more fragrant.
"Okay!" Jiang Ning shook his head, but still stood in place, people often say that don't love the passing water, but good memories are like chronic poison, how happy you are when you are happy, how painful you are when you are in pain.
Jiang Ning felt that he had gone through too many happy times with Que'er, so that at the moment, when he couldn't see that woman, once he touched the scene, he would feel very sad, and his heart felt like a twisted pain.
It's just that time has taught him to smile, even now, he just quietly stares at the man and woman in the distance, smiling quietly, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of bitter arcs.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning also knows that people need to live in the present after all, no matter how much happiness is in the past, no matter how much boredom can not solve the problem, so only by burying your head in the past and living every day in front of you can you have a better future.
Turning around, Jiang Ning turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the valley, and it didn't take long for him to return to the heavenly prison.
The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
At all times, there is no doubt that the veins of a dynasty belong to the government.
Even ordinary people who find a new vein that has not been excavated need to report it to the government, and finally complete the docking with the Ministry of Industry.
For these officials who know the law and reason, if they know the law and break the law, and some mines do not report to the Ministry of Industry, but dig privately, it is a great sin.
Originally, when Tian Kangbang and Tian Yufang were doing this, they just wanted to dig out the so-called red gilt, let those super-first-class masters use it for him, and kill Li Yanxi, who was still in the prison, for him, but they didn't expect that it was precisely because they increased the intensity of mining, and it was the people in the rivers and lakes who were invited to do it, and they couldn't just say that they would kill their mouths like dealing with those little people, so the red gilt was indeed taken out, but the news that he Tian Yufang privately owned a black ore vein also spread from the mouths of those rivers and lakes who were not reliable。
It didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor.
Although Tian Kangbang, who was the head of the road, no longer pretended to be sick for this reason, went to the court in person, and defended his younger brother above the court, saying that the matter was nothing, otherwise he would be the first to know, but His Majesty the Emperor was still suspicious after all, and said on the spot that since it was groundless, he naturally wanted to wash away the grievances of the important ministers of the court, and give him a clean reputation, so he specially sent Li Dakang, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, as the governor of Liangzhou, to go to Liangzhou to inquire about the truth of the matter.
The emperor's original words were that if the matter was nothing, then it would naturally be necessary to return the important ministers of the court to a blue sky and white day, but if this is really the case, then there will also be a place for him Tian Yufang in the prison.
Li Dakang was originally a fellow villager and friend of Li Yanxi, and after the Li Yanxi incident, the officials of the imperial court were silent one by one, and no one said anything good about Li Yanxi, saying that this son was deeply hidden, and they had not seen his true face clearly over the years.
Only Li Dakang, a fellow villager, a classmate and a jinshi of the same year, actually argued with reason above the court, saying that he could use the official hat on his head to vouch for it, even if Li Yanxi really cheated on a woman outside, he would never be able to do such a thing as killing his wife.
It's just that these words were vetoed by His Majesty the Emperor on the spot.
It's not because the emperor thinks what he said is not credible, but he can say that he can use his official hat as a guarantee for this kind of thing, which is originally a kind of disdain to the official position of the dynasty and the emperor himself, this kind of behavior still makes the emperor's heart a little uncomfortable, of course he will not advocate it, otherwise if there is any unjust, false and wrongful case in the future, or a certain official is a little dissatisfied with the handling of a certain case, he will stand up and take the black gauze hat on his head as a guarantee, and the dynasty will not be messed up, so His Majesty the Emperor will never support such a thing。
It's just that he knows more clearly in his heart that everyone will do the icing on the cake, but there are very few people who send charcoal in the snow, such a person, if he is not very visionary and wise, it means that he is a person with responsibility, principles and beliefs.
Of course, Li Dakang is a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to appear in the current court, but when he stands on top of this court, and all the people standing around him are as smart as him, he is not a smart person.
Emperor Shengde can naturally see that the reason why he would do this kind of thing is not for grandstanding, but the belief in his heart, his cognition of Li Yanxi told him that that person was definitely not killed by Li Yanxi, because there was such a belief in his heart, so he stood up.
Li Dakang has always been an upright person, compared to Li Yanxi, who has ideas in his heart, but still knows how to be flexible, his personality is more upright, and he is unwilling to be accommodating for things that can be slightly flexible, and he will not sit idly by and ignore things like his friends' names being tarnished.
Therefore, when His Majesty the Emperor asked him to go to Liangzhou with the holy decree to deal with the corruption case, he agreed almost without hesitation.
Others don't know Li Yanxi, but he Li Dakang is clear, because on the day of Li Yanxi's accident, he also drank some wine with Li Yanxi in a restaurant in the capital, and the thing they talked about happened to be the responsibility of Tian Yufang, the assassin of Liangzhou, in the dam collapse incident, Li Yanxi also told him that he had written a book that explained the number of deaths when the disaster occurred, as well as the distribution of relief food for the drought in Liangzhou and the tragic situation of the victims. It's just that I don't know why, Li Yanxi's wife hanged herself after arguing with him that night, and after that, there was another version of Li Yanxi's premeditated murder of his wife, and the so-called impeachment of Liangzhou assassin Shi Tian Yufang has not been sent to His Majesty the Emperor until now, and the emperor has not mentioned this matter in the court from beginning to end.
Although Li Dakang does not know Tian Kangbang and Tian Yufang, or even Prime Minister Li Yun. However, out of an instinctive intuition that has been an official for many years, he feels that Li Yanxi's unjust conviction is absolutely inseparable from that Tian Yufang.
Otherwise, why did it happen that when Li Yanxi wanted to impeach Tian Yufang, he himself had such a thing, and at the same time, his excerpts could not be delivered to the emperor's hands later?
Even if Li Yanxi is really guilty, but his fold always needs to be innocent, even if it is presented to His Majesty the Emperor to see the original, if it doesn't matter, no one will pay special attention to press his fold, right?
Since this is the case, and the reality is that Li Yanxi's excerpt was really pressed by chance, it means that the first person to get Li Yanxi's excerpt, that is, Tian Kangbang, the left capital Yushi, has a collusion with this Tian Yufang.
Before, Li Dakang was just in a simple judgment of his own on this point, and he could not fully confirm it, and he was in a stage where he suspected others but had no evidence, but when he was abnormal today, all his illnesses seemed to have recovered, and he made a special trip to the court to speak for Tian Yufang, in Li Dakang's eyes, no matter how he looked, how could there be no silver three hundred taels here!
Not only him, but the entire court as long as there is a little bit of care can realize that this Tian Kangbang is a little abnormal today, and he is so abnormally protecting the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Tian Yufang who can't be beaten with eight poles, there must be something inside that they don't know.
It's just that Tian Kangbang certainly knows that his behavior today is a bit of a cover-up, but he has no other way, if he doesn't go to court to say a few words for his younger brother in front of the emperor, if he really lets Li Dakang find out something, then not only Tian Yufang, but even Tian Kangbang himself will be a little inseparable.
You must know that over the years, half of the property that Tian Yufang has sent to the capital has been sent to Prime Minister Li Yun, and the remaining half is all filial piety to his dear brother, not to mention, the decision to recruit super-first-class masters with the help of red gilt and let them kill Li Yanxi was also a bad idea given by himself, but now he has lost his wife and soldiers, and he has not been able to kill Li Yanxi, not to mention, even the news of the secret purple gold vein owned by Tian Yufang has leaked out.
The dynasty could not tolerate land annexation, let alone the unauthorized excavation of mineral veins.
The nature of the private excavation of the veins is bad, firstly, it is equivalent to directly stealing the resources and money of the dynasty, and secondly, the excavation work under the arrangement of the Ministry of Industry is carried out in an orderly manner, and it has its own regulations and norms, even so, every year the miners who participate in the mining will be killed and injured a number of them, this kind of mining veins that are excavated privately without the approval of the imperial court, because there are no strict regulations and restrictions, the people who participate in the excavation and the people in charge are not professional enough, and it is easy to destroy the surrounding leylines and water veins, which will pose a great threat to the agricultural environment and further resource mining, and these threats, no matter which one they areIt takes a long time to deal with and recover, and once the mining is not careful, the number of deaths will generally be much more than the casualties of the mining team of the Ministry of Industry.
However, the reason why this kind of thing still happens is because the wealth and power that a vein can bring to a person is quite large, even if someone knows that he will face the danger of natural and man-made disasters and the danger of being discovered by the dynasty, the two physical and psychological threats, but just for the benefit of that point, it is enough for them to take risks, because the benefits that a vein can bring to a person are too great, and the money is almost too much for him to spend in his life, these, for Tian Yufang, who has a wide range of hobbies and likes to play and enjoy, is naturally the same, and it needs to be supported by a lot of money, so, he simply had no reason to give up.
In fact, in the early days of the dynasty, in order to avoid the recurrence of officials who had to do corrupt officials because of insufficient money, the dynasty decided to issue a part of the incorruptible silver, as the name implies, is to issue an extra part of the silver to the officials of the dynasty under the condition of the basic salary, these silver are considered additional money, and the purpose of issuing these silvers is literally, in order to help officials cultivate a clean and honest official style!
With the extra money, their basic livelihood can be guaranteed, and they can also use this part of the silver for some small enjoyment.
People are inert, once the desire in the heart is satisfied, it will stop, if an official can live a very nourishing life with the money issued by the court, then what is the need for him to take the risk of corruption and bribery with a conscience?
Once this measure of raising honest silver was implemented, the fraud and corruption in the court were immediately eliminated a lot, and it did have a very obvious effect at that time, but after a long time, it was a little ineffective after a few decades.
The so-called human heart is not enough to swallow elephants, and if he lives a good life, of course he will be excited for a while, but after he adapts to this so-called good life, his vision will fall on a better day.
They will start to wonder if they can do better.
Therefore, corruption, bribery, and even selling official positions have revived, and they have returned to the temple of the dynasty little by little in the course of several decades.
The distribution of the honest silver had already increased the burden on the treasury, and in such a situation, the trend of corruption flourished again, and the land annexation became more and more serious, which was definitely a huge blow to the dynasty.
Emperor Shengde has no intention of withdrawing the incorruptible silver, after all, if the benefits given out are really recovered, it will cause great turmoil, people are like this, what you give me extra, if it is a long time, I will take it for granted, if you don't give it one day, I will hate you to the bone marrow. Even if the emperor wants to take back the honest money of all the officials in the entire dynasty, the pressure he is about to face is that he, the son of heaven, cannot bear it casually.
If you can't collect cheap silver, then if you want to solve the problem, you can only trace the source.
At present, the biggest problem hindering the continued development of the dynasty is still the land annexation.
The more land is annexed, the less grain there will be in the state treasury, the greater the economic pressure, the greater the financial pressure, and the only way to solve it is by increasing taxes, and the peasants' land has already become smaller, and taxes have to be increased, and the contradictions between the people and the government will become more and more planned, and if it really reaches the point of irreconcilability, it is understandable that there will be rebellion.
The reason why this dynasty appeared was because the problem of land annexation in the previous dynasty intensified the contradictions between the people and the government, so that there was a later uprising and today's prosperous era of heavenly fortune, and Emperor Shengde was unwilling to embark on the old road of a dynasty no matter what, so this time, he gave Shang Fang the sword and directly gave Li Dakang the right to obey in a hurry, and the right to cut first and then play.
He knew that this guy really dared to kill!
