Chapter 24 Return to Chang'an

The sound of crying and sad thoughts filled the small space.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and hundreds of men and women dressed in filial piety clothes began to clean up the bodies of their lifeless relatives lying in pools of blood.

There is no resentment, how can it be said that His Majesty has been lenient, those who have committed not very deep faults are basically held accountable, and the looted money is returned to others, and the matter is the result, and their families are not implicated, what else can they do? If it had been before, they wouldn't have been able to escape.

This is also the benefit of the reform of the law, Li Shen felt that because one person in the family committed a crime of rebellion or other serious crimes, all the people in the family were implicated, especially the innocent people in the mansion, and these things had nothing to do with them at all, let alone those young and ignorant children.

These inhumane laws have been revised since the time when the new laws of the Tang Dynasty were written.

One day to interrogate the officials of Daizhou, including all kinds of papers handed over by the people, these things make people feel dizzy, not to mention Li Shen, who rarely deals with these things, fortunately, the charges of these people have been investigated by Da Xiong clearly, and they only need to be tried according to the charges. Otherwise, it is estimated that the trial of these people alone will not be completed without ten days and eight days.

The matter of Daizhou is like this, officials of all sizes, including the sons of gentlemen, have executed a total of nearly 70 people, and the officials of the entire Daizhou have been completely purged once, and then Li Shen knows that it is the rectification work faced by all officials in the entire Datang.

In the face of reform, bloody repression is indispensable, which cannot be escaped no matter what, and now Li Shen's only consideration is how to rectify the officialdom of the entire empire, that is, there are two choices, one is bloody repressive reform, and the other is peaceful, but he also knows that if he wants to carry out reform peacefully, the resistance is very large, and it is not so easy to complete.

Wu Meiniang put down the account book with a smile, and said to Li Shen, who had a somewhat bad face: "This elegance, I really don't know what to compare with her, she actually killed all the things in the mansion that could be used, and swept away all the money, even the embezzled money." ”

"How many?" Li Shen asked lightly.

"Almost 1.4 million yuan of embezzled money was swept away by her."

Li Shen exhaled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Forget it, it's not a lot, it should be given to my grandmother." ”

"Since you said so, forget it, but more than 700,000 of the embezzled money was plundered from the people, and it still has to be returned to them."

"Let other people do this, the officials from Chang'an City will not be here in a few days, leave these things to them to do, the money will be withdrawn directly from the bank, there is a bank in Daizhou City!"

"Yes, I'll just hand over the things to the hotel manager when the time comes, and you don't have to worry about these things."

Li Shen glanced at Wu Meiniang and said, "Don't worry about me, you still ask?" ”

"Tell me about it." Wu Meiniang said arrogantly.

"Okay, it's not too early, rest early, get out early tomorrow morning, and save yourself a lot of worry about staying here." Li Shen said helplessly.

The night began to get darker and darker, and Li Shen, who was lying on the bed, turned sideways and looked at the dark night.

Some of them can't sleep, they always have a mess in their minds, and after all these years of propaganda, these people still touch the law, and they don't know what kind of outcome they will face?

Knowing the results they are facing, why do they still want to touch them, I really don't know what these people think.

However, thinking about it, I also feel that the officials in Daizhou are a little unlucky, just loaded on the muzzle of the gun, and are regarded as a case of killing chickens and monkeys.

The next day, behind several carriages, a large group of guards on horseback, under the eyes of the people of Daizhou City, slowly used the city of Daizhou.

Luo Chen stretched out his hand to take Li Heng in Su Haitang's arms, looked at him with a bitter face, smiled and reached out to rub his head, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's the matter, I miss his mother." Su Haitang said helplessly, and continued: "Haven't you found Mengyi's whereabouts until now?" ”

"My mother's name is not Mengyi, her name is Yirou." Li Heng said weakly.

"Yirou?" Li Shen paused slightly, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart, how could it be so coincidental? Could it be that she also came back with her memories? No, if she really came back with memories, she wouldn't have been able to hide from his eyes when she first saw him.

"Yes, your mother's name is Yirou, not Mengyi, Heng'er, don't worry, you will be able to see it in a few days."

Li Heng nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "But I miss my mother very much." ”

"Brother eats." The girl looked at Li Heng with a smile and shouted weakly.

Su Haitang looked at the scenery outside, frowned slightly, and said to Li Shen: "Xianggong, take a look, we seem to have walked this road." ”

Li Shen nodded slightly, and said: "Go back, there are still a lot of things to deal with, this time there is such a thing in Daizhou, it is also a vigilance for me, go back and deal with this matter, and then come out to play later." ”

Su Haitang let out an "oh".

Seeing Su Haitang's somewhat reluctant expression, Li Shen smiled and said, "Reluctant? ”

"It's a little, it's hard to come out once, and I haven't had enough fun to go back like this, I still want to go to the grassland to see."

"Wait, next year it is estimated that the fuel engine can also be developed, and wait until next winter, our family will go to sea and go to the beach to have a fun." Li Shen said with a smile.

"Next year, there will be next year, this entrance to the palace, I don't know when I will be able to come out." Su Haitang sighed and said.

"Why are you so pessimistic? Can I still deceive you? ”

"It's not a matter of deception or deception, there are always some things entangled, and you can't leave when you want to."

Li Shen smiled slightly and nodded, there are too many things in the world, and they are always entangled by some helpless losses, and they want to break free but can't, who can guarantee that they will not be entangled in the world? What to do then? If you want to go out, you can't.

"I've already said that I'll go out with you next winter."

Su Haitang looked at Li Shen with a smile and said, "The concubine body is just talking, seeing that you are doing it like this, it seems that the concubine body has caused a lot of trouble, and you are angry like this." ”

Li Shen smiled and said, "I feel like your tone is very complaining about me, you said I can be happy?" ”
