Ah Ke had already sat down on a chair in the courtyard, heard the familiar footsteps, and said, "Sister, Xiao Zhao has not come back, we don't need to go to Xu Mansion, and we can enjoy a few more days of leisure." ”

Zheng Tuantuan said with a smile: "That's right! Come, I'm going to put the grilled fish on the fire, how about we taste it? ”

"Xu Xiaolang has a bad mouth, and the food he made should be no different." Ah Ke paused for a moment, and then said: "Brother Wu is also very good, although I can't see it, I know that he is a sincere person. ”

Zheng Tuantuan didn't answer, just laughed twice, picked up the oil-paper wrapped grilled fish and went to the kitchen.

Ake'er blinked her big, godless eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, he sighed softly, feeling as if he was dragging Sister A.

…………….

For a few days in a row, Xu Qilin was really relaxed and comfortable.

Go to the unit to shake around, listen to the report, arrange the work, and then you can move freely.

First Guiyun Pavilion, then Qingyun Pavilion, and then he replied in the drunken night building, a group of Zhengtai were full of food and drink, and they played happily in the Washe Gooling, this day was really chic.

It's still young, and when you're older, you should go to Pingkangfang to find a happy little lady!

Xu Qilin has worked hard today, but standing in the workshop outside the city, watching groups of slaves and maids living in the dormitory, he can't help but think a little cranky.

That's right, they are all criminal family members in the Yeting Palace, and they will be the first batch of workers in the weaving workshop under the Great Yingku.

His Majesty Li Er felt that there were too many prisoners in the Yeting Palace, and eating for nothing could not create too many benefits, so it was a good way to increase income and reduce expenditure by directly assigning them to Dayingku as textile workers.

When Xu Qilin invited His Majesty Li Er, he didn't have much pity for the prisoner's wife. But in that era, it was really difficult to recruit female workers in society.

The Tang Dynasty was relatively open, but if its own women came out to work, it was not a family that was too poor to open the pot, and it really couldn't pull off this face.

Therefore, Xu Qilin could only build a textile workshop first, use a prisoner who only took care of food and did not pay wages, and then gradually pushed the textile to the family.

Similar to the outsourced processing model of manual work in later generations, Dayingku provides raw materials and technology, and can even purchase machines on credit. Housewives are responsible for processing the textiles, and then returning the finished products to the big surplus warehouse, where they are paid or offset against the money for the textile machinery.

This is not a scam that is common in later generations, and I swear to God that Xu Qilin will not do this lack of morality.

For the family production model of male ploughing and female weaving, Xu Qilin feels that he must adapt first. Renovation is time-consuming and laborious, so take your time!

The first batch of female workers consisted of 40 people, and according to Xu Qilin's arrangement, they lived in a collective dormitory of four people. Outside the dormitory is a wooden fence that is guarded and monitored to prevent the inmates from escaping.

In fact, it is almost impossible for a prisoner to escape, whether it is a palace or a textile workshop, it will not be like a heavily guarded prison.

Without household registration, without "notarization", that is, a letter of introduction from a long away, where can a woman go? I'm afraid that I didn't even get out of this county, so I was taken.

"Xu Cheng, these forty prisoners are all low-class slaves, but their weaving and sewing skills are still passable." Hu Chaoen, who escorted the slaves and maids, introduced Xu Qilin politely and respectfully, "If you are lazy and slippery, or run away, etc., Xu Cheng can deal with it at will." ”

The wives and daughters of confiscated criminal officials are also known as "clothes and crowns", such as Shangguan Wan'er in history, whose status is lower than that of ordinary palace maids. And the women who are not married for sin in ordinary families are the lowest status in the court.

Xu Qilin understood that these slaves and maids were assigned, and the power of life and death was in his hands. "Slaves and maids are sluts, and the law is better than livestock", not to mention beating and scolding, even if you kill them, there is nothing to do.

"There is a great order from Laohu, dozens of slaves and maids, and you will send them in person." Xu Qilin stretched out his hand to invite and said, "Please sit inside, let's drink tea and talk." ”

Hu Chaoen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Xu Cheng doesn't have to be polite. We still have things to go back to deal with, and we will bother another day. ”

"That-" Xu Qilin pondered for a while, and did not force him to stay, and said: "I won't delay Hu Daling's order in the future." ”

As soon as Hu Chaoen was sent out of the workshop, Xu Qilin saw several people dressed as yacha come over and negotiate with a minor official of Dayingku.

Soon, this petty official rushed over to report to Xu Qilin. It was said that this morning, a dead body was found in the bushes not far away, and the officials wanted the people in the workshop to identify it and see if they knew it.

Xu Qilin felt that it was not a big deal, so he instructed the junior official to tell the yacha to bring the body over and let the people in the workshop go to identify it.

There was not much time, the officials carried the body over, and the people in the workshop were also notified, and under the organization of the officials, they went out to cooperate with the investigation.

In a short time, someone really recognized the deceased, it was a Turkic named Ashd Heiwu, who had driven a flock of sheep over the day before yesterday and sold them to the workshop.

"Xiaguan's account book has this person's name on it, and I still remember his appearance, he is very strong." The petty official in charge of the acquisition reported to Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin didn't take it seriously, and said jokingly: "Didn't you push the price too low and force people to hang themselves?" ”

The petty official hurriedly explained: "It's all purchased according to the price, that guy is very satisfied, and said that he can receive the sheep and come back in a few days!" ”

Xu Qilin smiled, and this matter was revealed. As for how people die and how the yamen handles them, it seems that it has nothing to do with him.

But Xu Qilin didn't take it seriously, but someone was nagging in his ear. is not a bystander, or Wu Xiang, a personal bodyguard. I don't know what hobby he is, or if he is familiar with one of the yachas.

"Such a stout man, killed with one sword, the murderer is a master."

"If it weren't for the shallow burial and a foot picked out by a wild dog, I don't know when I would find it!"

Wu Xiang said as he gestured and said thoughtfully: "It seems to be the left hand, well, the left hand is holding the knife, diagonally upward-"

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You go to the yamen to be a servant, don't compare in front of me, it's annoying." ”

Oh, Wu Xianghan laughed and turned his head to go out.

Wu Xiang walked happily, Xu Qilin thought about it, but felt that it was not too appropriate. This guy is straight, don't really go to the yamen on an errand.

After sitting for a while, Xu Qilin walked out of the office and looked around, but Wu Xiang was really gone. When he walked to the high place, he found that Wu Xiang was outside the workshop, mingling with a few yacha, still gesturing and talking.

This is a special addiction to solving crimes, and he still has to be a good citizen, and he must tell the yacha about the discovery of a left-handed knife, and the murderer is also defined as a left-hander!

Sure enough, after a while, a messenger came to inquire about the selection of the laborers who worked outside the workshop.

Those laborers are temporarily recruited, and the idlers who are responsible for leveling the land and ramming the earth to build the foundation are mostly refugees. There are even those who drag their families to work and set up sheds next to the construction site to live temporarily.

These personnel were only hired by Dayingku, but the officials still gave Dayingku the respect they deserved, and came to inquire politely, which made Xu Qilin unable to refuse strongly.

Besides, the ingredients of these foreign laborers are also very mixed, maybe there are really murderers!

Xu Qilin nodded in agreement, temporarily stopped the project, and asked the officials to gather labor and cooperate with the officials to investigate.

I thought that this thing was done in accordance with the rules, and no one could find fault with it. But what happened next made Xu Qilin feel very uncomfortable.

The two refugee laborers were named suspects because of their height, because of their stoutness, perhaps because of their fierce looks, and more importantly, because they were left-handed.

This is also normal, and bringing the suspect to the yamen for investigation and interrogation is also the process of ancient investigation.

But a laborer is dragging his family, a sick wife, and a small child with a runny nose. They stumbled after their loved ones, crying and telling that they hoped that the yacha would be kind and not take away the pillars of the family.

"Ask the yacha, take the person away, when will you find out?" Xu Qilin frowned, glared at Wu Xiang, blaming him for being troublesome and causing such a tearful scene.

Wu Xiang also regretted a little, hurriedly went to find the familiar yacha, and reported to Xu Qilin after the inquiry: "Xiao Liuzi can't say for sure, if there is nothing to do after the trial, he can be released on the same day; If you can't say it, you will have to be detained for a few days. ”

Seeing Wu Xiang's somewhat dejected appearance, Xu Qilin snorted, turned his head and said to the junior official next to him: "Go and call the woman and child back, although the people went to the yamen, but the wages will be paid, let them wait for a few days." ”

The petty officer blinked, and immediately trotted to inform. Anyway, if you don't spend his money, Shangguan is kind, and he is happy to do a good deed.

Xu Qilin turned around and entered the office, closed the door casually, stabilized his mind, and launched the soul detention order, detaining Ashde's black soul, wanting to find out first.

Xu Qilin has developed several things for the use of the Soul Detention Order, but they are all in his head and have not been implemented.

For example, in this murder case, if you know the name of the deceased, you can almost know how the person didn't have it when you ask about it. If you don't even know how you burp, you deserve to be a fool.

But this is not what Xu Qilin should do, don't you leave food for others? Again, if you can't tell the truth, you can still solve murder cases, when you are Conan?

The lack of a detective in the Tang Dynasty is nothing, but it is indispensable for scientists, economists, writers, musicians, and poets...... And Xu Qilin is so many homes.

Therefore, Xu Qilin just couldn't bear it today, so let's give it a try. But good intentions are rewarded, and the unexpected harvest fell on his head with a "bang".

What the hell, who still dares to assassinate His Majesty Li Er?!

Xu Qilin's head was smashed so that he didn't react for a while, opened his mouth wide, stared at the eyeballs that almost fell to the ground, and it took a long time for him to jump up, rush to the door, almost kick the door open, and rush out.

Wu Xiang was waiting outside the door, thinking that his Ah Lang was angry, so he closed the door and ignored him.

As soon as the door slammed, Xu Qilin rushed out, he still wanted to step forward to accompany him and explain a few words, but Xu Qilin had no time to say anything else, so he urged repeatedly: "Take the horse, go and take the horse, go back to the city immediately, hurry, hurry-"

Wu Xiang didn't know why, but he saw that Xu Qilin's face was full of anxiety, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he turned around and ran towards the stable.

The horses were brought in, Xu Qilin turned over and got on the horse, and without saying much, he left the workshop and went straight to Chang'an.

Sitting up and down on horseback, Xu Qilin seemed to have never ridden so fast. Running made him mentally release a kind of passion, and it also made his mind start to think quickly.

From the memories of Ashid's black soul, Xu Qilin knew the names of the two Turks, and even their appearances.

He also knew that there should be a lot of Turks involved in this plan, and he would be the new khan of Fenghe Luohu, and even Zhonglang would be the internal response, but his name was not revealed.

Obviously, Asted Heiwu is about to get involved, and it is also a small role, so he won't know too much. It's just that Ashid hesitated and hesitated, so that he was killed.

Do you go to the government immediately to report it, or find Ma Zhou or Li Tai, who you know well, and let them handle the follow-up matters?

Xu Qilin frowned, finding that he had no conclusive evidence, and it was difficult to explain how he got the news.

Is it really a good way to stir up the crowd and make too much movement?

Xu Qilin was a little unsure, he was shocked just now, and before he could think about it, he felt that this matter was not very easy to do.

Seeing the city gate and the increase in pedestrians and vehicles, Xu Qilin had to slow down. After entering the city, Xu Qilin sped up again, and did not stop after passing the office of the big surplus warehouse in Xiude Fang.

In front is Hengjie, and Xu Qilin turns east to the imperial city. Just as he was hesitating, a convoy of carriages and horses turned out along the side street, as if they were about to leave the city, and stood in front of him.

In front of the carriage and horses, several guards shouted and waved long whips to clear the road.

Xu Qilin's horse rushed very fast, even if he stopped suddenly, the distance between the horses and the cart was very close. He hurried his horse to the side of the road, and watched the guard of honor of the chariots and horses.

However, Xu Qilin looked at it and didn't see any formal honor guards.

Before he could decide whether to dismount or not, a long whip swept over with the sound of the wind. The whip-wielding guard didn't mean to whip Xu Qilin, but he slashed it too much and couldn't contain it.

Wu Xiang followed behind, stretched out his hand to block it, and shouted in a hurry: "Be careful." ”

Xu Qilin was thinking chaotically in his mind, and looked at the honor guard of the convoy again, and it was a little late to react, so he only had time to stretch out his hand to block it.

The whip struck Xu Qilin's left arm, and immediately pulled the thin clothes open, followed by a hot pain.

Xu Qilin gasped, his eyes narrowed, and he stared coldly at the fox fake tiger guard.

"Ah Langβ€”" Wu Xiang caught up and asked with concern, "How is the injury?" Let's take a look. ”

Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, get off the horse and wait for them to pass." ”

Although he didn't fight the honor guard, Xu Qilin also saw that it was the car of the crown prince Li Chengqian. Seeing this, he is going to the wilderness outside the city.
