Wei Wangfu.

After many days of brewing, the plan for setting up the city department took shape under the pen of Wu Zheng, who had neglected Tang Gaozong Li Zhi many years ago, so for so many years, the various measures for the establishment of the city department have already taken shape in Wu Zheng's mind.

Now that the treasury has dried up, the empress has canceled the large-scale banquet of the Shangyuan Festival, as well as the opportunity to have fun with the people, although the empress's excuse is that she is old and frail and unbearable to act, but smart people know that the empress has never surrendered! And Wu Chu knows better that the treasury has long been depleted after the empress's toss and constant wars.

Now even the bereavement pension of the fallen soldiers cannot be issued, and the pension list on the above table is still on hold. Wu Zong was very angry about the empress's inaction. He has been sparse on the ground more than once, and the pension of the fallen soldiers can no longer be delayed, if the Khitan grows, the Great Zhou will have no soldiers available.

Let me ask, which soldier is willing to fight a war without a pension? They died without even a pension to support their families, so why did they work hard? Of course, there are many people with lofty realms, but how many people can there be? The material base determines the superstructure, and Wu Chuan thinks so. If the army blindly relies on morale and spiritual encouragement, it will never last long, and only by basing its combat effectiveness on a sound war system and pension system can the army maintain a strong combat effectiveness for a long time. If you add a few glorious measures, then an iron army will be formed.

In the center of the imperial court, now the science officials occupy a small part, and among the prime ministers in the political hall, the prime ministers from science account for almost half. And the empress will have to agree because of the depletion of the treasury.

Two major cases in a row made the officials and people of Shendu gather their eyes on the Zhongwang Mansion, and also completely attracted the attention of speculators. At this time, it is best to put forward the plan of the city. The establishment of the city division is an unprecedented initiative, and the resistance encountered is bound to be very strong, but as long as a part of the pressure is shared, then the probability of success will be greatly increased, and the obstacles encountered will be smaller.

When setting up the city of the Division. Unified management of maritime trade, by the imperial court to encourage maritime trade, then the spring of the Maritime Silk Road will eventually come. At that time, perhaps those scholars and doctors will also taste the sweetness, and when they share this piece of the benefit cake, they will fight for blood.

Wu Shui summoned Liu Lingxian. Liu Lingxian was a little weak during this time. Often drowsy, according to Wu Chu's understanding, this is a sign of pregnancy, and after a while, let Jiang Chuchen take a look, and then you can be sure, so that this personal maid will have to be changed again.

Honestly. A personal servant girl is like a personal secretary in the previous life. Go to bed, warm the quilt, plan, record, etc., do everything, get used to it, and always be a little reluctant, but Wu Zheng thinks that he is not a selfish person, so it is only a matter of time before Liu Lingxian becomes a regular. But now that Liu Lingxian has basically turned positive, he rarely helps Wu Chu deal with some writing things, he is a little unaccustomed, so it is imperative to find a new personal maid.

After a while, Liu Lingxian yawned and stepped into the study, and after owing to her, she asked, "What did Lang Jun call me to do?" ”

Wu Chu smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to invite a few officials to gather in the mansion in the name of concubines, you can write me some invitations." With that, he pushed a piece of paper on the table.

Although Liu Lingxian was very distressed, she still agreed and did not ask about the concubine.

Wu Chu looked at Liu Lingxian and asked, "What, aren't you happy that I married you?" ”

Liu Lingxian rolled her eyes and said: "It's all old husbands and wives, and you still marry me, it's not new, by the way, you won't be a concubine...... Me, right? ”

Wu Shu walked up to Liu Lingxian and said, "I can't treat you badly after all, it's set for tomorrow night, after you finish writing, go to the tailor to try on new clothes, I have made her a suit according to your size!" ”

Liu Lingxian's eyes showed joy, and she said softly: "Thank you for your mercy." ”

Wu Chu held the pretty face, kissed his forehead, and said, "It seems to be unhappy!" ”

Liu Lingxian sighed and said: "The slave is a maidservant, but there is Lang Jun in the house, and the slave is waiting on the side, and Lang Jun can be seen from time to time." The slave became Lang Jun's concubine, and Lang Jun would be put on the shelf, and if he remembered it, he would come to see it, and if he couldn't remember, he might never see him again. ”

Wu Shui felt dark in his heart, but then smiled and said: "You, if you have no reputation, I owe you, it is normal for you to have this worry, life is short, why don't we do it and cherish it?" ”

"Do it and cherish it?" Liu Lingxian said softly, then raised her face and said, "My Lang, kiss me!" Immediately, he closed his eyes and opened his jade lips slightly.

Wu Chu is also a little emotional, he likes unrestrained women, but he prefers such emotional women.

When tenderness turns into a warm current and flows in the heart, love swells up in the heart like a tide. drowned an emotional woman, and also buried an iron-blooded man!

In the Yamen of the Right Su Zhengtai, Cheng Ji Ji in the Imperial History, Pei Qing of Dali Temple, and Xu Yougong of Qiuguan Shangshu gathered together, only Wu Chengye of Zongzheng Temple, Wu Chengye is the younger brother of Wu Chenghe, and he is a faction of Wu Chengsi in the three factions of the Wu family.

On weekdays, in the court, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi did not make trouble for Wu Zheng, nor did they make trouble for science officials, so how could his henchmen give face to these science officials? But now that the three divisions have gathered, it is no longer very important whether Zongzheng Siqing will come or not. With the Queen's Holy Purpose, they can enter the Zhongwang Mansion to investigate.

Among the three, Ji Ji is a loyal fan of King Wei, Pei Qing has to stand on the side of Wu Chu because of his eldest daughter Pei Rou, not to mention that his sons have long been science students, and he has to reluctantly follow King Wei for his father, who was originally just a six-grade petty official, but over the years, he has been promoted to the position of a third-grade master, and it is also such an important position of Dali Siqing, which can be said to be directly chasing the ancestors of the Pei family.

Xu Yougong is different, he very much agrees with King Wei's concept of "governing the country according to law", so he is also unswervingly on the side of King Wei, but this is by no means loyalty, never refuge, but an attitude towards the country and the people. Xu Yougong studied law all his life, and knew the importance of law, and what King Wei did allowed him to see the birth of a strong and legal empire, which was his dream and the dream of the descendants of the ancient legalists.

Earlier, after Pei Qing came, he had a conversation with Ji Xuan, so he already knew how the case would be tried, and the two of them had already taken a rough step, Xu Yougong was an upright official, they would not touch hard, they would only guide slowly, and subtly let Xu Yougong do what His Royal Highness King Wei wanted.

Therefore, the deliberations in the lobby are also extremely unnutritious. Xu Yougong couldn't stand the grinding of these two people, so he got up and said: "Two, from the official's point of view, I should go and investigate in person!" ”

Immediately, Ji Ji and Pei Qing both got up and said, "That's what we mean." ”

So, under the leadership of the three directors, led by Luoyang Ling Tang Shao, a group of people stepped into the Zhongwang Mansion.

Li Xian, the loyal king, stated to the empress that he knew nothing about those corpses, but the empress did not reply, and Li Xian fell ill.

After Yoshiki and the others went to see Queen Chung, they left the dormitory, and they all had a sad sigh in their hearts, but time passed, and these courtiers wanted to have a king who worked hard, not a sick man who fell ill because of fear.

Everyone went out of the storage room under the leadership of a young girl, and Ji Ji looked at the girl in confusion, this girl looked like a maidservant, and it didn't seem to be, so he asked, "Dare to ask the girl who is the ...... in the house?" ”

"Ah, Ji Zhongcheng, the slave's name is Li Xianhui, and King Zhong is the slave's biological father. Xu Shangshu, this is the storage room. With that, he suddenly fell to his knees.

The three of them couldn't help but be shocked, and asked the daughter of the palace to kneel for them, but they didn't have that blessing, so they hurriedly said: "Girl, don't do it." ”

Li Xianhui didn't have a title, so they had to call her girl.

Li Xianhui wiped her tears and cried: "Xu Shangshu, the slave knows that you are upright and impartial in enforcing the law, I hope you can repay the innocence of the slave's father, and the slave will repay your kindness as a cow and a horse." Three great officials, I beg you. As he spoke, he was about to kowtow.

Xu Yougong hurriedly helped him up and said: "This official has been enforcing the law for many years, he will not bend the law for personal gain, nor will he wronged good people. Little girl, get up, ten thousand golden bodies, and don't bend the knees of rough people like me. ”

Li Xianhui wiped away her tears and said slowly: "The slave has thanked the three officials." ”

When Li Xianhui stood up, Ji Xuan ordered someone to push the door open, and with the slight harsh sound, suddenly, a foul smell wafted out. Everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, looking in pain. Only Xu Yougong didn't seem to notice it at all, he slowly stepped into the storage room, and in the surprised expressions of everyone, he began to examine the body.

Only then did everyone see that the corpse had long been decomposed, but the clothes had not been corrupted, so it can be seen that the time of death was only one or two years, of course, the specific time had to be judged.

Ji Shao and Pei Qing didn't want Xu Yougong to check alone, so they covered their mouths and noses with a cloth before entering the storage room, Tang Shao didn't dare to look so cowardly in front of Shangguan, so they followed, and the other pawns didn't get permission, so they had to wait outside.

Li Xianhui didn't dare to look at the dead body, so she stood outside the door, smelling the disgusting stench, and resisting the urge to escape.

The people inside checked for half an hour, and when the three of them came out, their faces were extremely strict, and Xu Yougong was even more gloomy, because this was a case of torture and murder! Ten corpses, including six adults, three children, and one unknown. The bones of the adult's corpse were broken in many places, which shows that he suffered a heavy blow before his death.

The scene did not find anything for the time being, the whole scene seemed to be very clean, the three of them cleaned their hands in the basin brought by Li Xianhui, and after instructing Tang Shao to send officials to guard the scene, they stepped out of the Zhongwang Mansion.
