Yang Fan arrived at the Criminal Department, and just after dealing with a few official documents, Anu, who was dressed as a small man in a green coat and a small hat, walked in, leaned over and said, "Langzhong, Shangshu invites you to come over!" ”

There were still a few officials in the room who had just taken the approval document, and Anu's words and deeds were very decent, Yang Fan nodded, and did not show a special attitude towards her in front of his subordinates. He gave a few more words to a few of the little officials who had just received the approval, and then got up and went out of the signing room accompanied by all the small officials, and rushed to Doulu Qinwang.

"Yuan Fang is here, sit and sit."

Tao Wenjie, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was also in Doulu Qinwang's room, Doulu Qinwang invited Yang Fan to sit down with a smile, and said a few official words casually, then retreated, and couldn't wait to turn back to the topic, and said solemnly to Yang Fan: "Yuan Fang, now that it's the first month, when do you think we will start?" ”

Tao Wenjie immediately said: "The cool officials of Yushitai will not fall, after all, it is a big trouble for the imperial court. Li was very concerned about this matter, and Her Royal Highness the princess was there...... I've asked many times. ”

Yang Fan knew that they had called himself to discuss this matter, although he had the lowest official position among the three, if the courtiers were determined to start this battle with the cool officials, they didn't need his consent at all, but the weapon that the courtiers attacked Yushitai was the Criminal Department, and in the division of labor among the three people in the Criminal Department, he was the thug responsible for going into battle shirtless.

In this way, without his consent, it is not appropriate to act rashly. This is not the first time they have urged Yang Fan, but Yang Fan has been procrastinating on the grounds that it has not reached the best time, Doulu Qinwang and Tao Wenjie did not expect him to agree happily today, they have already prepared some rhetoric, and intend to continue to persuade Yang Fan as soon as he refuses.

But today is very strange, as soon as the two made an opening statement, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Xia Guan has been waiting for an opportunity since he took this mission." I think. It's almost time, so let's get started! ”

Yang Fan agreed too happily this time, which made Doulu Qinwang and Tao Wenjie stunned. Doulu Qinwang was stunned. immediately asked excitedly, "Yuan Fang, have you decided to act?" ”

Yang Fan nodded solemnly and said, "The days of wind and snow are almost over, before the spring flowers bloom." It's time for us to get ready to catch pests. ”

Tao Wenjie said happily: "Okay! Now that Yuan Fang has been prepared, I will immediately arrange it here and act according to Jihua. ”

Yang Fan said: "The two of you can't be happy too early, although the shili of Yushitai is not as good as before. But it's not a mourning dog that can be shouted and beaten. In particular, they have the privilege of hearing about things, which is an advantage that the hundred officials of the imperial court, our criminal department, and Dali Temple do not have. Beware of their backlash. ”

Doulu Qinwang twisted his beard and smiled optimistically: "It's okay, those officials in the DPRK and China are all very shrewd, as long as we make a move here, Li Xiang's side will greet them, everyone is in the same breath, take care of each other, and will tell Yushitai to take advantage of the loophole?" ”

Yang Fan smiled faintly and said, "There is no big mistake in the hundreds of officials in the court. But it is difficult to keep all of them as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, and there is nothing wrong with them. Although Yu Shitai is accustomed to making things out of nothing and extorting confessions by torture. But it's not all about these skills. What's more, Lai Junchen has been degraded for torture to extract confessions and fabricate incriminating evidence. With this lesson from the past, will the people of the Yushitai be careless? ”

Doulu Qinwang and Tao Wenjie glanced at each other. The smile faded from his face.

Yang Fan said solemnly: "Kill a thousand, and damage yourself by eight hundred." If you want to eradicate the cancer of Yushitai, and you are unharmed, it is wishful thinking. The people of Yushitai were originally a group of wolves that ate people and did not spit out bones, and now they are a group of hungry dogs, as the saying goes, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that they also have a body of fangs and claws. ”

Tao Wenjie took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "For the country, there is no sacrifice for An Neng?" If some officials are not disciplined enough, then they can't take care of it! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

About half an hour later, Tao Wenjie and Yang Fan left Doulu Qinwang's signing room. After another half an hour, some of them left from the three-person room one after another, some went to Dali Temple, some went to the political affairs hall, and some changed into the clothes of a long journey, rode a high-headed horse, carried a briefcase, and left Luoyang City.

Similar situations used to happen every day in the yamen of the Criminal Department, so no one noticed any difference today, let alone that something was about to happen.

In the afternoon, Yang Fan left the yamen of the criminal department and rode a fast horse to the White Horse Temple.

He has been delaying and refusing to launch, at first it was only because it had just come out of the New Year, and the various departments of the imperial court had returned to normal, and some officials whose families were in other places were still on their way back at this time. A farmer's family organizes a happy event for their children and grandchildren, and they will not choose to do it when they are busy with farm work or when the elders of the family are running around, let alone deal with the group of people who deal with the Yushitai.

So Yang Fan has been waiting, waiting patiently, wanting to wait for the most haode opportunity.

The three charlatans who regarded themselves as living immortals and successfully gained Wu Zetian's trust inspired Yang Fan.

As long as they make good use of it, as long as they use it skillfully and at the right time, they can still do great things. Yang Fan wanted to use these three liars to make a big article, and now he launched an attack on Yushitai, just to make a cover for himself against Jiang Gongzi's Jihua, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

On the Yishui River, small boats are rippling. In the clear water, you can clearly see a school of fish swimming over, and the sunlight shines through the clear water, shining on the fish, and the scales reflect the sunlight, reflecting the water surface in scales.

The old fisherman, who had been fishing all his life, grabbed the net and sprinkled it skillfully and elegantly, and the net opened in the air, casting a faint shadow on the surface of the water, but the fish at the bottom did not perceive the catastrophe coming, and they still gathered together, swimming and dancing happily......

Fishing has been forbidden since the Luo River was named the Kamigawa, but Yishui is not an exception. Some Luoyang people who have made a living from fishing all their lives and really have no financial resources to change careers or have no other survival skills have made Yihe their only survival foundation.

Fortunately, Yishui itself is also fertile, and although most of the fish have a fixed living range and do not migrate around with the current, there will still be some fish that swim into Yishui and replenish the river, barely ensuring the survival of these fishermen.

The nets were dragged onto the boat. Silver fish jumped desperately in the cabin, and the fishermen on the boat next to him looked at the old fisherman with envy, not everyone was as experienced as he was. It can just block the uncertain whereabouts of the fish, and catch so many fresh fish in one net.

Yang Fan also watched happily at the bridge, watching the old fisherman go down with a net, and the net was riding in the wind. Slowly falling into the water, the group of fish threw themselves into the net as if they had voluntarily entered the net, and he laughed happily.

He wished he was the fisherman with very much fishing experience, and those cool officials of the Yushitai and Jiang Gongzi's huge diving shili were like the group of swimming fish. will throw itself into the net. He was about to see Xue Huaiyi at the moment, and the scene he saw in front of him was clearly a good sign!

But his happy mood didn't last long. A group of people in green clothes and soap boots suddenly appeared on the shore and shouted at the fishermen on the river, and Yang Fan, who wanted to circle the horse and leave, reined in the reins again, he didn't know what was going on.

The fishermen on the water didn't know what was going on, but the official greeted, but no one dared not listen, one after another the fishing boats docked, and the fishermen came to the front of the tolerance, nodding and smiling with their faces. As a result, I heard a thunderbolt from the mouths of the commissioners.

"I can't do that, please. Ladies and gentlemen, let the people pick some fish and shrimp to survive. We miserable haha depend on this river to feed our families. You can't live, fish and shrimp starve to death to death! Heavens, is human life less valuable than livestock? ”

The fishermen knelt on the shore. They did not dare to resist the officials, but they could only cry and beg bitterly, but the pleas had no effect, the fishing boats were brutally overturned by the messengers, and the fresh fish in the cabin fell back into the water, some of the fish wagged their tails and gradually regained their vitality, and some of the fish that had suffocated and died floated on the water.

Those poor people are also helpless, this holy decree is obviously not in the interests of everyone, although they do not rely on fishing for a living, but during the New Year's festival and a happy event at home, they also want to cook a fatty fish and drink it, and ...... in the future Everyone in the world is going to be vegetarian?

The gray-eyed squad leader could only sigh helplessly, and said to the fishermen: "This is the will of the saint, who dares to resist?" The sage said that from now on it is forbidden to kill, but ...... Dead animals can still be eaten. Well, you can catch the fish that are dead on the water......"

The leaders of the squad did not have time to take off their clothes, so they jumped into the river and desperately fished for the fish. The leader of the team sighed, turned his head and commanded his subordinates: "These fishing boats have been scuttled, and the nets have been broken......

Yang Fan stood far away at the head of the bridge, did not hear the answer on the shore, he saw this strange scene, quickly circled the horse off the bridge, rushed over to ask the truth.

The Zhang butcher in Nanshi tied a big fat pig firmly to the bloodstained board and asked the little apprentice to bring a large wooden basin to put under the pig's head. He has only accepted this little apprentice for a month, and he has learned the craft of killing pigs from him, the child is clever and sensible, and Zhang Butcher likes him very much.

Zhang Butcher has no son, he plans to pass on the skill of killing pigs to this little apprentice, and when this child grows up, if he gets along with his baby daughter, he will recruit him to be a son-in-law, so he teaches more and more attentively: "Boy, you have been learning with the master for a month, do you know how to kill pigs?" Come on, come today, yes, just cut it from here......"

Zhang Butcher asked the little apprentice to hold a sharp knife with a cow's ear and gesture under the neck of the fat pig, and the pig's heart was on the side of the front leg. His little apprentice has been beating him for a month, and this is the first time that his little apprentice has taken the knife.

It's a pity that the little apprentice's knife will never have a chance to pierce again.

The courtyard door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and several yacha rushed in, holding steel knives in their hands, murderous, and frightened the master and apprentice of Zhang Butcher, they stood there and did not dare to move, they also thought that these yacha had heard some letter by mistake, and wanted to come to his house to get the thief, if they dared to move, they would be punished in vain.

However, they were amazed to see that these tolerances were not for men, but for pigs. A yacha rushed up, raised the knife in his hand, and with two "clicks", he cut the rope that tied the pig, and the fat pig fell to the ground, snorted a few times, and fled.

Zhang Butcher was stunned and said, "Fathers, what are you ......?"

A catcher walked over slowly and looked at the few fat pork fans hanging under the porch. He said loudly: "The saint has a decree, from now on, you must not kill, Zhang Butcher." You put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. ”

"Smack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the back of the head, and a quick catcher who seemed to be a small boss glared at him. Said to Zhang Tuhu: "The saint is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and he has made a holy decree to prohibit people in the world from fishing, hunting and slaughtering from now on." Kill all innocent creatures in vain, and Ming'er won't even let her sell meat. You can't do this job. Cough! Under this corridor is a pig that has been killed, then there is no way, I want the half of the fan on the left, it's cheaper, you can't sell it today, you won't have a chance tomorrow. ”

Zhang Butcher stood there with a blank expression, not hearing the words of this fast catcher at all. His grandfather was a pig killer, his father was also a pig killer, and he had killed pigs all his life. I have learned such a craft in my life. Now that the emperor doesn't let the pig be killed, how will he live in the future?

"You Qin Huaide, who killed tens of millions. I don't have an asshole when I give birth to a son, get out of my house! ”

Grandma Liu, who lives in the second alley of the east of Jishan Fang, is quickly chasing after a few fangdings. Cursing while chasing, in a hurry, she forgot to put down the egg she had just picked up. That egg was laid by an old hen. It's still warm. The old hen was chased by a few of the fangsmen, spreading her wings and fluttering all over the yard, fluttering dust.

Qin Fang was watched by Grandma Liu and grew up, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was scolded by the old man, but just stood there with his head shrunk. A look of amazement.

"Qin Fangzheng, this is yours!"

Grandma Liu's son Du Tianwei was the second shopkeeper in the Qi family's silk shop, well-informed, and suddenly heard the "bad news" but did not panic, he said to Qin Fangzheng: "Who said that our family raised this old hen to kill and eat, we are to eat eggs, this is not guilty, right?" Again, this is not killing. ”

A fang ding helped Qin Fangzheng: "Third Brother Du, who believes what you say." It's laying eggs now, it's laying eggs, of course you don't want to kill it, but what if it doesn't lay eggs? You killed it secretly, and we don't know it, it's against the holy decree. ”

"How so?" Du Tianwei smiled and said, "It's a big deal...... You are like the government controlling the ploughing cattle, registering and making a register. I have a few hens at home, and you all remember it, if you kill one of them, you will be caught in a prison and eat a board, then won't it be? ”

A few fangding were very moved when they heard it, and they also raised chickens at home, so they had already told the family to slaughter them in advance, so as not to release them in vain, but if the chickens were also protected as ploughing cattle, we only eat eggs and don't kill chickens, so it will be a success, right?

Qin Fangzheng, who had just been scolded for being scolded, snorted unhappily and said, "Fart!" Aren't eggs meaty? Aren't eggs creatures? Where did the chicks hatch from? ”

Du Tianwei said: "Eggs have no skin, no hair, no meat, no bones, no blood, how can they be considered meat, if you have the ability, you can pick a bone from the egg and let me see!" ”

Qin Huaide still wanted to keep his position as Fangzheng, but he didn't want to ruin his and his son's future because of an old hen, so he immediately said: "Eggs can hatch chicks, which means that eggs are also living beings." If it is not a living being, how can life be born? Therefore, if you want to raise hens to lay eggs, you can't eat them. ”

At Grandma Liu's house, Qin Fangzheng and Du Erste started a heated debate with philosophical significance on whether eggs belong to meat or vegetarian.

The north market, the south market, the east market and more than 100 large and small vegetable shops have increased in price, the price of vegetables has doubled in an hour, countless people rushed to the door before the tolerance of Wuhou and Fangzheng came to the door, desperately slaughtering the chickens and ducks at home, the whole god is more lively than the New Year.

Crying, scolding, and at a loss, Luoyang City is full of hustle and bustle. At this time, in addition to those who sell vegetables, their eyebrows are dancing and desperately raising prices, perhaps only Li Tangshan, the shopkeeper of Li Tangshan in Beishi, feels happy.

Li shopkeeper is a wholesale pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, yesterday received a message from the sister who is now the concubine of Le'an Hou, he began to sell at a sharp price early this morning, and also found a name for this kind of move, which is called "The old mother's birthday, so the price is reduced to benefit the people!" ”

Several other large meat wholesalers laughed at him for going crazy, what is happening now? Haha! As soon as the merchants who came to Nanshi this morning to wholesale meat heard about the price reduction of his shopkeeper Li, they all came to their house to buy the goods, and while praising him for his filial piety, they took advantage of him as much as possible.

The weather is still cold, and he is not afraid that the meat will be spoiled at home, and several other large wholesalers just look at him coldly, but now it is good, those few people can't cry. The market is only open in the afternoon, the vendors of each square come to buy in the morning, go to sell goods in the afternoon, they are too late to buy now, a few large wholesale households that Roshan only rely on a few nearby families to buy, how much can be sold?

The shopkeeper Li smiled happily, looked back at the pork and mutton that had not had time to sell in the warehouse, and smiled with tears on his face: "As the Son of Heaven, how can you be so ridiculous, you yourself believe in some gods, Buddhas and ghosts, you are willing to change the year name for this occasion, you have to scavenge my family's iron and bronze for the sake of Jiantianshu, I also endured it, and now I don't even let me sell the meat, I am also a big family!" ”

A similar situation is being staged in the whole Luoyang City, with the horse's hooves galloping all the way to the postmen who are carrying the burden of yellow cloth and carrying a small triangular flag on their backs, and are hurrying to the horses to deliver the decree all the way, a similar situation will soon spread to the whole world like a plague, and an absurd drama is being staged in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After Yang Fan, who ran to the river to ask about the passing, learned the truth, he didn't care about fighting for those fishermen. This is a holy decree, and he is not qualified to dress up. Yang Fan rushed to Nanshi as soon as he flicked his horse, he wanted to hurry up and buy some chickens, ducks, eggs, poultry, pork, and dog meat to go home, Xiaoman was pregnant, could it be that her mother and son couldn't eat vegetables and tofu every day?

As a good husband now and a good father in the future, Yang Fan joined the rush to buy without hesitation...... (To be continued.) )
