"County Prince, there are suddenly rumors outside today, saying that King Liang has been punished by God and is in danger, and I am afraid that he will not be able to become the crown prince." The news reported by Liu Jinshan made Li Zhongyi's heart shocked.

No wind, no waves!

Clear-eyed people know that Chai Zongxun, the king of Liang, is actually the crown prince who has not officially issued an edict to the world, and the rumors actually involved him, but it is conceivable that the background is likely to be unfathomable.

Judging by Li Zhongyi's political wisdom, when this kind of rumor spreads, the biggest suspect is either Qin Guifei or Du Guifei.

However, it is never possible to judge problems with linear thinking, and it may be that someone wants to use rumors to deliberately frame the two noble concubines Qin and Du.

When Chai Rong was about to go on the Northern Expedition, the entire Great Zhou Empire was likely to fall into turmoil, and at this critical moment, Li Zhongyi did not dare to be careless at all.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that since the people hiding in the shadows dared to spread such rumors that they were going to be beheaded all over the house, they would inevitably have careful preparations in advance.

Today's Kaifeng Mansion is not a red dynasty with electronic eyes all over major cities.

"Guangqing, we should recruit a group of spies in civilian clothes." Li Zhongyi pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of the words "plainclothes police".

At present, almost all of the people who often wear plainclothes and make secret visits on the street are Wu Desi's eyeliner.

However, Wu Desi's manpower is limited after all. Because Chai Rong's can be restricted, the people of Wu Desi only have the right to inquire, but they do not have the right to arrest, which also restricts them from playing a greater role as detectives.

The Kaifeng Mansion is the highest administrative yamen of the Beijing Division, with the power of public security and civil affairs. even has a large number of Jingshi Xiang Army, as well as Minzhuang who assist in law and order.

In other words. If Li Zhongyi wants to engage in spy politics, it can be said that he is justified. Easy.

"Plainclothes spies?" Liu Jinshan blinked, and suddenly realized that Li Zhongyi was probably referring to the official in civilian clothes.

"County Prince, this civilian clothes spy, I'm afraid I need to recruit more local idlers?" Liu Jinshan is worthy of being a smart person, and he got to the point at once.

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "Guangqing, this matter will be left to you." Be careful. Be sure to do it quietly, and don't let other people's eyeliner get in. ”

Liu Jinshan stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the county prince, the deputy chief of the third class of soap servants catches the head, but he is the nephew under him, and in the entire Kaifeng City, the details of most of the idlers are not clear to him." ”

Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Liu Jinshan is indeed not wrong, the so-called idler is actually synonymous with the local ruffian hooligan, that is, the so-called unemployed vagrant in later generations.

These thugs. I have nothing to do all day, and I often steal chickens and dogs without saying anything, and. Most of the bad things in the city are basically inseparable from them.

After Liu Jinshan's report. Seeing Li Zhongyi's tired face, he hurriedly hurried to say goodbye and leave.

When you go out. Liu Jinshan suddenly turned around and whispered: "County Prince, Li Xiaojiu is quite clever, and I want to borrow him under self-love." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "I have always used people without suspicion, and suspects do not need to use them." Guangqing, you don't have to worry too much, just do it. Even if it pierces the sky, I have to stand on it. ”

Liu Jinshan said loudly: "Oh." Without saying a word, he left the second hall with great satisfaction.

Li Zhongyi was able to hand over such an important investigation agency to Liu Jinshan to govern, which in itself revealed that Li Zhongyi had a high degree of trust in Liu Jinshan.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, how can Liu Jinshan not be moved?

After Liu Jinshan left, Li Zhongyi fought at night and hurriedly reviewed the backlog of official documents.

Kaifeng Mansion is the largest government in the world, and in addition to the daily administration, it also has to take into account the trial of criminal and civil cases.

Kaifeng Mansion, which has a population of more than hundreds of thousands, is really too big, and if Li Zhongyi handles everything personally, he will definitely not be busy.

Therefore, the imperial court set up the judge of the left hall and the magistrate of the right hall to assist Li Zhongyi, the lord of the palace, to deal with the affairs of the central government.

According to the division of labor, Liu Jinshan handled administrative and civil affairs affairs, while He Chongjiang, the magistrate, was mainly responsible for hearing criminal and public security cases.

Relatively speaking, Liu Jinshan's terms of reference are relatively thick. However, the income from He Chongjiang's side should not be bad.

Fighting criminal and civil lawsuits, hitting large families who are bankrupt, let alone in Kaifeng Mansion, even in Lingzhou in the past, is a commonplace thing.

Due to Li Zhongyi's long-sleeved dancing and vigorously promoted mercantilism, the national strength of the entire Great Zhou Empire was in a period of rapid rise.

In the past, the three divisions of the yamen, which were unusually dry in the treasury, are now full of grain and a mountain of silver.

And this change has only happened in a short period of five years, which shows that business is indeed an indispensable lubricant for the smooth operation of the whole society.

Money, the most important thing is to use the turnover rate, so that money can make money, money profits.

Driven by Li Zhongyi, many powerful people have also participated in lucrative business activities in private.

Due to the early appearance of the money bank, the turnover efficiency of the silver money has reached an astonishing process far beyond that of this era.

As a result, in addition to the Huang Ji Money Village under Huang Jingsheng's name, large and small money houses have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

It's just that, compared with Huang Ji Qianzhuang, the most lacking thing in the money houses under the names of various magnates is not funds, but the compilation of passwords.

In this era when there were no telegraphs, telephones, and faxes, you could exchange money tickets in different places, and after they were opened, if the password was cracked, the loss would be huge.

Although Li Zhongyi studied medicine and took the calculus test, with his attainments in mathematics, he is definitely far ahead of the times and an unattainable peak.

The money ticket issued by Huang Ji Qianzhuang, even if it can be copied into the exact same layout, in the end, the last level of the password makes people helpless, and can only stare dryly.

Liu Jinshan is very capable, and all the official documents submitted to Li Zhongyi's desk are full of concise and concise abridgements.

Li Zhongyi only needs to read the abridgement to know what is said in the official document, and the speed of review is naturally much faster.

It was late at night, and Li Zhongyi dragged his tired body, and under the escort of Li Yunxiao and other Yuan Sui, he boarded the carriage and returned home.

All the streets and squares along the way are closed, every house is dark, and people are all early. Even if there is an occasional sound of silk and bamboo, it comes from the courtyard of a large family.

At the intersection of Li Lane Street that Li Zhongyi passed along the way, there were patrolmen affiliated to Kaifeng Mansion, patrolling and guarding in Sixiali.

This is the curfew system!

Curfews, starting from the Qin Dynasty, have been strictly followed by successive dynasties. After arriving in this dynasty, due to the gradual pacification of the Central Plains, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and the population inside and outside the city of Kaifeng increased day by day.

The great commercial development advocated by Li Zhongyi has brought about a large population gathering, so that a large number of citizens engaged in the service industry have emerged.

Farmers basically have little nightlife, but the needs of citizens for nightlife are very different.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that with the prosperity of Kaifeng City, the curfew system that had been implemented for thousands of years had become increasingly out of place.

Now, except for the sons and daughters of the noble family who like to play, ordinary people have not had the courage to openly violate the ban.

When passing by Sangjia Wazi, Li Zhongyi clearly heard the noise, singing and dancing, and instrumental music one after another, but he didn't hear it.

Hehe, not to mention ordinary people, even Li Zhongyi has a need for overnight life, and it's not a matter to nest at home all day long, right?

A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is better than robbing, robbing or not robbing, always thinking about it, is the most ecstatic.

Walking around the night market, tasting snacks, and watching a hundred juggling can actually make life more colorful.

Back in the house, Tang Shuyi, who had never slept all the time, personally served Li Zhongyi to bathe and change his clothes.

Li Zhongyi lay on his back on Tang Shuyi's chest, making a pleasant humming sound, tired for a day, after going home, enjoying the warmth of his little wife, it was indeed beautiful.

On the third watch in the morning, the bells and drums on the side of the drum tower rang in unison, and Li Zhongyi, who had only slept for two hours, was woken up by Tang Shuyi again, alas, the time for the last dynasty has arrived.

There is no way, all civil officials above the fifth grade, as well as the worship officials, superintendents of the imperial history, foreign officials and Dr. Taichang of the two provinces, must go to the palace every day to discuss matters.

At three o'clock, Li Zhongyi boarded the car again and went straight to the palace. After entering the palace, Li Zhongyi, who was dressed in a purple robe, mixed in the crowd, was particularly conspicuous, making people envious, jealous and hateful.

Li Zhongyi has almost nothing to do with the civil official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there is always an invisible door between him and the military meritorious group.

After Chai Rong sat on the throne, the military meritorious group of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into three groups. One is the veteran meritorious noble group headed by Li Qiong, the other is the new army meritorious noble group headed by Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, and the last group is the newly promoted Chai Rong's henchman meritorious noble group, and the main members are the ten brothers of the Yishe including Zhao Kuangyin, Murong Yanzhao and Han Tong.

Li Zhongyi, an upstart, logically speaking, should belong to one of Chai Rong's henchmen and members of the Xungui group. However, he is an important member of the civilian clique, and his identity is unusually ambiguous.

It is precisely because Li Zhongyi does not have a deep-rooted faction behind him that it is possible for Chai Rong to be vigorously promoted again and again, and placed in the Kaifeng Prefect, an extremely sensitive position.

Second minister, lonely minister, famous marshal, profiteer and miracle doctor, Li Zhongyi combines these five identities, but it is also the first of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Haha, no blame, I haven't seen you in a long time."

Li Zhongyi was walking in all directions, following the crowd, walking in the direction of the Wende Palace, and suddenly heard an old voice that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

He looked up and followed the source of the sound, but saw Li Qiong, the king of Kaiping County, standing not far away with a white beard in his hand, looking at him with a smile. (To be continued......)
