Wang Chun, who acted cautiously, was heroic and unrestrained at the wine table, and he was drunk and unconscious only halfway through the banquet.

Yang Hao sent him back to the guest house, Zhang Yingying stayed by his side, not leaving an inch, Yang Hao hinted to her several times to come out, she had something to ask, but Zhang Yingying turned a blind eye, Qing'er and Xiaoyu, who didn't know the truth, also praised her for being sensible and filial, Lu Rui saw a little sign, she secretly pinched Yang Hao, and said sourly: "You, who are uncles, are quite attentive to your niece, but unfortunately they are only a ten-year-old child." ”

Yang Hao heard that the words were wrong, knowing that she had misunderstood herself, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, shook her hand vigorously and said, "You also know that she is a ten-year-old child, doesn't it seem too much to say this." ”

Lu Rui saw that Yang Hao was angry, and suddenly put on a smiling face, she grabbed Yang Hao's shoulder, stood on tiptoe and whispered softly in his ear: "Don't believe it, although she is small, she understands everything, do you remember, three months ago she was dark and thin, these three months, she ate desperately, desperately eat, I told her that women eat too fat and not good-looking, guess what she said, 'Uncle Yang said that the little girl is too thin and not good-looking', she cares so much about your words, why do you say it." ”

Lu Rui drank a lot of wine, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she was cute and a little naughty, she kept blowing hot air into Yang Hao's neck when she spoke, blowing Yang Hao's neck was itchy, and her heart was also itchy, Yang Hao grabbed her wrist and dragged her out roughly,

There was a room in the guest house, Yang Hao dragged her to a secluded place, kicked open a guest room, picked her up and threw her on the bed, Lu Rui exaggerated and shrunk to the corner of the bed, Yang Hao took her out, rode on her, and scolded while stripping her clothes: "Little wave hoof, you spread rumors and slander me, if you don't give you some color today, it won't go to the sky in the future." ”

Lu Rui chuckled, using both hands and feet, desperately resisting Yang Hao's attack, but after a while, she was stripped naked, and after struggling in vain for a while, she disarmed and surrendered, and let Yang Hao go crazy on herself,

……

After the clouds and rain dissipated, Yang Hao was busy trying to escape, Lu Rui lay on his shoulder and said, "You are still weak-hearted." ”

Seeing that she was still entangled, Yang Hao couldn't help but hate in his heart, raised his slap and threatened to slap him, Lu Rui put his face on it and said, "You fight, if you do, you will admit it." Where was Yang Hao willing to really beat her, he raised it high, turned his palm into a claw, pinched her face, and warned with a tiger face: "If you dare to spread rumors and make trouble in the future, I will never spare you." ”

Zhu Qi was waiting outside the guest house, and when he saw Yang Hao coming out, he stepped forward and said: "We have found out that Miss Yingying went out of the back door to buy vegetables on the street yesterday afternoon, and did not return until the time of the unitary, during which he entered a silk village on East Street, and stayed in it for nearly an hour. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qi seemed a little hesitant, if this silk cloth village was really set up in Feng'an's stronghold, or Zhang Yingying was actually a secret agent lurking in the defense embassy, he, the commander of the inner temple, could not escape the blame, so he proposed: "The humble position proposes to immediately monitor Wang Chun and Zhang Yingying." ”

There are dark rooms in some rooms of the State Guest House, which can monitor the guests in the room, Wang Chun lives in this kind of room, Zhu Qi's proposal was vetoed by Yang Hao: "It's useless, Wang Chun is a person I know very well, and I don't miss anything about it, I can't find out what he has to do." Zhu Qi was quite unimpressed with Yang Hao's remarks, he had also stayed in Daming Palace, and he still knew Wang Chun more or less, a eunuch with a smooth head and a gentle brain like a sheep, what was there to deal with,

But since Yang Hao has already spoken, he doesn't want to fight anymore, not to mention that Yang Hao's words secretly also have the intention of appeasing himself,

Anyway, Wang Chun's move is a live, Yang Hao can't help but be a little annoyed, no one has the energy in the afternoon, but fortunately, there is good news at dusk, it is about Xiao Qingyi Yuerong,

A day ago, Yang Hao went to the prison to persuade Yue Rong to stand up and clear Yuegu's name, Yang Hao told her two things: first, he had ordered the body of her husband Lin Weilu to be dug out of the mass grave and found a feng shui treasure to bury him; The second is to promise her that as long as she helps this time, she can be released to go back to Leizhou to reunite with her parents.

Yue Rong was a little hesitant at the time, saying that she would think about it for three days, and this was the first day.

Yang Hao found Meng Hewu, the assistant general of the Department of Military Justice, and after Zhuang Yunqing went out to conquer Quze, Meng Hewu temporarily took over the general's duties.

Yang Hao asked him: "With Yuerong's testimony, can Yuegu be found innocent according to the law?" ”

Meng Hewu pondered for a moment, nodded, and then added: "It's best to sentence it to three or five years." Then explained: "Princess Yuegu committed a crime, the adult does not show favoritism, the trial is impartial, there is a voice of praise inside and outside, Yuerong's testimony, although according to the law can clear the grievances of Princess Yuegu, but people who don't know the truth want to slander the adult for using power for personal purposes and doing things unfairly." ”

In order to create an atmosphere of respect for the law, Yang Hao really spent a lot of brains to create an atmosphere of respect for the law, and also raised the status of the law to a certain extent.

Although Meng Hewu said it very tortuously, Yang Hao still understood his true intentions, and he hoped that he would make some kind of concession to maintain this hard-won good situation.

Yang Hao smiled and asked him: "Law enforcers often say that the law is majestic and not in vain, it can be seen that only the law is fair and just, in order to convince people, we often hate to use power to interfere with the law, and do not let other people's power to interfere with the law, why do we want to use power to interfere with the law." ”

Meng Hewu's lips trembled, wanting to explain something, but Yang Hao stopped him: "Your intentions are good, doing this may be a temporary success, but we can't start this, the law is the law, just and fair, no one has the right to touch it." ”

Meng Hewu said with shame on his face: "Humble and stupid, I have been taught." ”

After sending Meng Hewu away, Yang Hao's mood was quite uncalm for a while, and Meng Hewu's words echoed in his ears for a long time, "The law is fair, the law is fair, but the law is dead, people are alive, power is everywhere, and it is pervasive, how can we ensure that the law will always be fair and just." Yang Hao sat down in front of the public case and wrote a few lines with a pen:

……

What kind of law should there be?

how the judiciary should be set up, how should it remain independent,

the training, use and protection of judges,

who will supervise the enforcers,

……

After writing these few lines, Yang Hao's mind was confused, this topic was too big, completely beyond his ability, so he asked Mu Lanqing, who was making tea: "Is there any law in Fengzhou?" Mu Lanqing didn't understand what Yang Hao meant at first, Yang Hao briefly explained what "law masters" were, Mu Lanqing shook his head and said: "There are prison masters like Zhang Tongzhi in Fengzhou, but I have never heard of this kind of 'law masters' that adults say. ”

Yang Hao couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he heard it, and then he thought about it, an era has the characteristics of an era, and now it is the Tang Dynasty, where are the so-called legal experts like those in later generations, Yang Hao thinks that he wants to be lazy about this matter, and it really can't be done, he must be patient and study the current judicial system in depth, and then make improvements within his ability.

Yang Hao feels that this matter is like another Fengzhou blanket factory, everything has to be done from scratch, and the workload will be greater, but this is a very worthwhile thing to do.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Chun took Zhang Yingying to leave the city and return to Beijing, Yang Hao did not go to see him off, Meng Hewu arranged the retrial time of the Yuegu case at the end of the Chen hour, although Yang Hao did not go to the scene, but always paid attention to the trial, he asked Mu Lanqing to arrange a few secretaries to observe, and report back the trial at any time, the night before, Yang Hao officially appointed Mu Lanqing as the manager of the book office, and Mu Lanqing did not sleep well for half a night, although the spirit of the busy work in the morning was good, but the two eyes were red,

At the end of the hour, Guan Suo, who sent Zhang Yingying out of the city, came back, carrying a few bags of melon seeds in his arms, sat on a chair in the conference room, put his legs on the table and knocked up, melon seed shells were thrown everywhere, Yang Hao asked: "You are very idle, do you have eyebrows over there?" ”

Guan Suo grinned and said, "Look at my expression, do you still need to ask." ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no big gain." ”

"Wrong, big mistake, big mistake."

Guan Suo suddenly jumped up when he heard this, he took out a confession from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Look at it, how vicious the intentions are." ”

Yang Hao picked up the confession and quickly went through it, the more he looked at it, the colder his heart became, and in the end, he was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked: "What I said above may find evidence." ”

"Evidence that I'm looking for, but,** not far from ten." Guan Suo said in an unusually positive tone,

When Yang Hao heard this, he punched the conference table fiercely, but he couldn't say a word.

Lao Kezi was arrested when he was prostituting a young girl in an inn in Yongfeng, he was lured out of the mission by Guan Suo's subordinates who pretended to be pimps, in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, Lao Kezi revealed his identity, but he was still forced to write a confession, pressed his handprint, and left a token with him.

Subsequently, the "catchers" also revealed their true identities and asked him about the content of the pre-imperial meeting a year ago.

The Imperial Council, chaired by Zhangxin Khan, was attended by the Uighur Khanate's powerful royal families and important officials, and the meeting studied the policy of dealing with the towns along the border of the Tang Dynasty in the next three years.

According to Lao Kezi's recollection, the meeting formed four basic understandings about Fengzhou:

1. The military strength of Toyoshu is growing rapidly, but it is not enough to pose a threat to the Khanate within ten years,

Second, the wealth accumulation of Toyosu is unusually fast and of high quality,

3. The officials of Fengzhou are capable and efficient, and the means of social management are becoming more and more mature.

Fourth, the independent tendency of Fengzhou is becoming more and more obvious, the centrifugal force on the central government is increasing, there are contradictions with the surrounding towns, and there are no specific allies among the surrounding ethnic groups.

In response to the above four understandings, the meeting put forward four coping strategies:

1. Arm Toyoshu moderately so that it has the ability to protect its wealth from other forces,

2. Diplomatic paralysis to encourage their independence tendencies; Prevent it from approaching the center; prevent it from forming alliances with other border towns or ethnic groups,

3. Carry out all-round infiltration, grasp sufficient intelligence, and make full preparations for military strikes,

4. To wage an all-out war, and in three years, at the latest, to wage war against Toyoshu, plundering all its wealth,

Yang Hao threw the paper nest into a ball on the table, his eyes were red, he rubbed his hands, and finally couldn't help roaring: "Fucking this is simply raising pigs, raising me as a pig, fattening me and then taking a knife on me." ”

Guan Suo smiled indifferently, handed over the melon seeds, and said lightly: "You fooled people to buy heavy armor, and people killed you as a pig, and you were flattened twice, what is there to be angry about." ”

Hearing this, Yang Hao's anger suddenly disappeared by half, he took the melon seeds, and he really knocked up,

"So what's going on...... Yang Hao suddenly figured out one thing, he slapped the melon seeds on the table, "No wonder Poyang Valley will easily defeat us, they want to give me 60,000 horses, so that I can keep the meat on my body, don't ask people to cut it." ”

"What's more, since my invincible Xining army wiped out the Tiger Guards without much effort, who still regards the Uighurs as enemies, you go to the battalions now to listen, the cowhides are blowing to the sky, and some people still complain about why you quit the army in the first place, even if you kill the Uighur royal court in one go, it will be a piece of cake."

Yang Hao laughed: "...... Almost, it really made people raise me like a pig......"
