Zheng Rong's father and son were honored and added to the rank of knight in Najib's ceremony, which soon caused widespread discussion in the Shendu City.

In fact, compared to the real sudden luck, the Zheng family's father and son received the title is nothing. However, the kinship of the Zhou Shitian family is already weak, and the Wu family is lacking in the doors of several relatives, so the Zheng family is naturally highlighted.

Especially compared with the Dou family, which is now in trouble and will have a catastrophe at any time, the Zheng family's favor and favor are inevitably more envious of others.

Now in the entire Shendu City, there is still trouble because of the murder case of Wangchengyi, and no one knows how deeply it will be implicated next. The longer the family lineage, the more complicated the interpersonal relationship, and if you can't control your own relatives, no one can be sure whether they will be coerced into the case.

The Zheng family rushed to such a season, fortunately because of the acting king, to a certain extent, it can be said that they went ashore ahead of schedule, which also made some people envious and a little annoyed, and they felt that if they could take the initiative to fight more actively at that time, they might not be able to overpower the Zheng family.

Even if it is not a long-term calculation, even if it is just to avoid the turmoil that follows, this family affair can be done.

In such an atmosphere, the Wangchengyi case also had a preliminary investigation result.

Prime Minister Li Zhaode's report back to Shendu stated that Dou Xixuan and other seven people were killed, and it was ruled out that a strong man entered the post to kill him, and Dou Xixuan, Xue Jichang and the other three had obvious sharp blade piercing wounds in the chest and abdomen, and they had been killed before the hanging beam. As for the other two co-defendants, it was preliminarily determined that they committed suicide by hanging beams.

The preliminary deference is that the two men rioted and killed the other five criminals, and then committed suicide. As for further investigation, we will continue to file a follow-up report.

Although the strongman is excluded, the facts of the case are still obscure, and the specific identities of the two criminals, the motive for the crime, and how to obtain the murder weapon, each of which can be deeply pulled.

Compared with the investigation of the case, Li Zhaode's other behavior can be said to be a real Zaifu. After entering the country and preliminarily examining the case, he killed Hou Sizhi, who was responsible for escorting the criminal, with a cane!

The prime minister is not a criminal officer after all, and this case itself is not an ordinary murder case, if Li Zhaode just follows the general criminal process, sticks to the truth of the case, and does not dare to make greater moves before the facts of the case are known, then he will live up to the significance of this mission.

After the news of Hou Sizhi's killing by the rod was transmitted back to Shendu City, a large number of people in the current situation, including Li Tong, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hou Sizhi was born as a cool official, stayed in Xijing for a few months, no one knows how many so-called crimes he fabricated, and now he has a major dereliction of duty on the way to detain the criminal, in order to get rid of his own crimes, once he returns to Shendu for a detailed trial, he will definitely make a big fuss, drag the innocent, and make the crime bigger.

In doing so, Li Zhaode is also taking great political risks, and it can be said that he took the initiative to take this thunder into himself.

If this case cannot be properly resolved, he will definitely be implicated and even killed, but at the moment, it is indeed a certain stabilizing effect and gaining some buffer space for the already very serious situation.

Li Tong originally lacked a good impression of the so-called old ministers of the Tang family, but after learning the news, he had a sincere admiration for Li Zhaode. What does it mean to be a good minister? It is to have the courage to take responsibility at a critical moment.

Of course, Li Zhaode's approach is not smart, and it is not even ruled out that he did it because of his too tough and rigid character, and his future defeat is more or less due to this character.

But I have to admit one thing, that is, in this period of turbulent period after the Wuzhou Revolution, the role played by Li Zhaode was irreplaceable by no one in the world. He was the most beautiful boy among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty during this period.

Hou Sizhi's death eased the solemn atmosphere in Shendu City a little. And Li Tong also took advantage of entering and leaving the palace to discuss the etiquette, and introduced Yang Li into the forbidden face saint.

In the side corridor of the Anfu Hall in the forbidden middle, Yang Li was wearing a simple silk cloth skirt, with no lead on her face, and the top of her hair was just a naked bun without hairpins, because the clothes and makeup were not conspicuous, but she was highlighted among the palace people who frequently came and went nearby and had bright skirts, especially because she entered the palace with His Royal Highness the Acting King, which attracted the palace people to look at frequently.

"Don't be nervous, except for the palace pavilion, which is taller and bigger, and the garden is wider, there is not much difference between the city and the market. Those palace people watched and watched, and it was only rare and strange. Even if you travel every day, it is only between this square inch, and it is not as well-informed as Yang Niangzi, who has traveled thousands of miles. ”

Seeing Yang Li's nervous body stiff, Li Tong turned his head and smiled: "The so-called high and low is only the difference in daily enjoyment. I was young and kept in the deep palace for a long time, and after I left the house, I realized that the outside world was more difficult. There are all kinds of situations in the world, and the ladies have something to do, and in this situation of a thousand people, there is no need to be timid in words and deeds. ”

Yang Liqiao's face turned pale, and after hearing the words, the corners of her mouth trembled, and her tone was a little dry: "Outsiders lose their love, but they are only less than contacts." If the king is out of order, the world is so big, where to avoid? Tianwei can decide life and death when he turns his mind, and when the grass and fields come to worship, how can he not be nervous......"

Li Tong became happy again when he heard this, and after a little thought, he said: "You might as well think about it this way, Yang Niangzi, your majesty came to worship, but you didn't come alone, and the profits of tens of thousands of yuan were hardly achieved by ministers in the court. Although His Majesty is dignified, he has no enmity with money, who is not happy to get started? ”

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor enjoys the world, will he also be shorter than financial hardship and focus on material resources?"

Yang Li was a little curious after hearing this.

"The more you enjoy, the more profit you share, the more you use inside and outside, and all the things you forbidden, what people see, which one doesn't cost money and food? The use of money is naturally the more the merrier. ”

Li Tong said with a smile again, his grandmother is not only short of money, but also extremely short of money.

Hearing this, Yang Li blinked, although she was still a little incomprehensible, but out of trust in the king, the tension in her heart was slightly relieved.

After waiting for a while, another female official came in and summoned him.

In the hall, Yang Li followed closely behind Li Tong, following in the same direction, and even when he entered the front to worship, his movements followed one by one, looking like the shadow of the young king.

When Wu Zetian in the palace saw this scene, a smile also appeared on his face, and he said: "Yang Li, the daughter of Shu, has just entered the court, since she is introduced by the king, she does not need to force the palace ceremony, just the vulgar ceremony." ”

Hearing the voice of the Holy Emperor, Yang Li's movements were slightly disordered, but after a while, she quickly calmed down, bowed again, and said on the ground: "The grass mustard in the countryside of the people's country and the clumsinessness of the cold household can be led by the famous king, and the ugliness is exposed in front of the Supreme Seat." Chenju is prestigious, the distant world is humble and difficult to reach, the Holy Emperor's mercy and grace are universal, and there is nothing in the world. ”

Hearing Yang Li's answer, Wu Zetian's face was even more joyful, and he raised his hand and said, "The people of the common people are all Wang Min." Where there is the sincerity of catechumens, creation is never far away. The grace of the dynasty, since you are far ahead of the previous generation, you have deeds to be able to re-recommend Wang Ya, you don't need to be humble and lowly, and speak at the table. ”

Yang Li raised her head slightly, and saw that the king was also nodding, so she thanked her again, and then followed Li Tong and sat down on the side seat in the hall.

In addition to Wu Zetian in the palace, there are also Shangguan Wan'er and other female officials, this is because Li Tong has long reported to his grandmother and introduced Yang Li to report on the flying money business, so these female officials are allowed to make accounts in the palace.

Wu Zetian was very interested in Yang Li, and after he sat down, he lowered his eyes and looked carefully. Including the female officials opposite, they were also curious about how the daughter of a mere businessman could be appreciated by the acting king, and there was a lot of scrutiny in their eyes.

"It's quite surprising to hear the acting king state your life experience, and now in the palace, I want to hear you talk about it in detail."

Wu Zetian looked at it for a moment, and then spoke.

After Yang Li heard the words, she bowed slightly, and started from her father's illness and death, and she took over the family business, and narrated it through, although there were not many words, but the context was clear, and she talked about it until she suffered difficulties and was trapped in Xijing, and then looked at Li Tong with a grateful face: "Your Royal Highness was in Xijing at the time, and he was loving and charity, so that the family business turned from danger to safety. ”

Because Yang Li was so nervous before, Li Tong was still a little worried, but when he saw her performance after ascending the palace, he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart. This woman is really a genius, nervous or panicked about the unknown beforehand, but she can stay calm when she is really about it, and her psychological quality is really not bad.

After listening to Yang Li's story, the smile on Wu Zetian's face had turned to approval, and he pointed at Yang Li and sighed: "Male and female, inside and outside, is just the common trick of the world. But who can speak confidently about the perverse personnel? Unforeseen things often happen to people, and when things come to an end, they can be brave, and their muscles and bones can be strong in things. It's really rare and rare that you, a lady, can be free from the troubles of the world, and are better than personnel! ”

Although he was praising Yang Li, Li Tong always felt that this sound a little strange, and he felt that his grandmother was a bit of a self-dissection of finding a soul confidant. But the problem is that people have indeed suffered unfortunate things, but what you have done, probably others did not expect you to dare to do more, right?

But in any case, Wu Zetian's appreciation for Yang Li was really beyond words, especially when he heard Yang Li's performance of Feiqian operating the revenue in the past few months, he was even more excited and lost his temper, pointing to the account books presented and saying to Shangguan Wan'er and others: "Verify quickly!" ”

All the female officials were also surprised at this time, in fact, in just a few months, there were as many as tens of thousands of profits, which was almost beyond their understanding, and they entered the front, opened the account books, and set up calculations.

When these data were verified, Wu Zetian was even more excited to stand up from the seat, walked down the hall and pulled Yang Li directly to his side, patted her hand and exclaimed: "Shu female talent, shame man!" ”
