Lu Zhaoming interrupted his ridicule with some excitement, and happened to see a map of the capital arming behind him, so he pointed to a few positions on the drawing, and said: "The four major water sources in the capital, the highest one, is in Yunyin Temple, right?" ”

When Xu Zhizhang saw him like this, he also restrained his smile and nodded: "Yes!" There are more than 300 steps in front of the Yunyin Temple, and there are mountain peaks around after entering the temple, in the whole capital, it can be regarded as one of the commanding heights. In those years, the former dynasty also built an observatory in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall for defensive purposes. However, after Emperor Taizong opened the country, he ordered it to be demolished. Zichu, you ......."

Lu Zhaoming waved his hand at him, and forcibly swallowed back the string of words that he was holding in his throat.

"In addition to the water source of Yunyin Temple, the other three should be in Chongdefang, Daxingsi, and ....... Tonghuatai?"

Hearing him say the last place name, he was a little unconvinced, Xu Zhizhang added: "Yes, Tonghuatai is also one of the four major water sources in the capital, but the terrain there is the most precipitous, and it is behind the imperial garden, so now it has been overgrown with weeds for a long time, and I heard that it is deserted." ”

Lu Zhaoming turned his face back to the side, and his smile was cold: "Deserted, it doesn't mean it's dry." ”

Xu Zhizhang has known him for many years, and the two of them can even be regarded as big partners in open crotch pants, and finally smacked a little bit of deep meaning at this time, and then looked at him in surprise: "Zichu, do you think you ......?"

"What the truth is, it depends on the facts. But before that, Rulin, you have to go to the household department for me, and transfer the birth books of the household administration departments of the counties and departments in the capital, as well as the records of the promotion and transfer of officials in the household department in the past ten years. ”

"I'll fuck your uncle! Do you really think that your brother is now a prime minister! These things are all top-secret archives of the household department, and the only ones who can be called up and viewed directly are-"

"You're right, you're a fourth-grade sesame official now. But don't forget, isn't there His Royal Highness the Crown Prince besides the emperor? With his hand, are you still afraid that he will hold on to these? ”

"Having said that, but—hey, you also know that the old foxes in the household department have long since become elites, and they all only think about how to protect themselves, as if their ancestors were born to be grass on the wall! Even if we go to them in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if they find out our intentions, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake? ”

"Well, I've already thought about it for you. Ahem - after all, how can a person as smart as me do things without careful consideration? ”

Xu Zhizhang looked at the familiar and hateful smile on Lu Zhaoming's face, and suddenly his back was cold, and he suddenly felt bad.

"What do you want to do? What do you want me to do? - Lu Zhaoming, I can tell you, you don't have the shame to be willing to fall, you eat alone, the whole family is not hungry, I am famous, I have a wife and a concubine, and I drag the family with ......."

"What I want is a wife slave like you who drags her family and wants to save face, hehe! Less nonsense! Do you find it useful for you to resist? ”

Poor Xu Zhizhang, although he tried his best to resist, was finally subdued by the evil forces. In the end, he had tears in his eyes, and he looked up with grief and indignation: "If you make friends carelessly, you will miss your life, and if you make friends, you will miss your life!" ”

In the afternoon of that day, I saw someone from his family hurriedly come to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to ask for a meeting. Soon after, the eldest son of the Xu family, who had always been known for his outstanding talent and gentleness in the capital, rushed out of the duty room angrily, and before getting into the car, he was full of anger and scolded: "Shameless slut! It is really unfortunate for the family to dare to do such a thing behind my back, and it is unfortunate for the family! ”

The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is located in Chaotianmen, the most prosperous area in Beijing, and some of the yamen and duty rooms of the other six departments are nearby. That is, Xu Zhizhang's front foot just arrived at the door of his house, and almost all the officials of the six departments on the street of Chaotianmen knew about it - Xu Zhizhang was green!

His dancing queen Cheng Luyi, who was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, actually caught up with someone else and swept away a lot of his gold and silver, and now he has run away with people with a treasure chest!

It is said that the Xu Mansion made a lot of trouble because of this, and Xu Zhizhang then found the household servant of the household department, and angrily threw the household registration album of Cheng Luyi on his case, with a fresh green cloud on his head, and asked murderously: "Lord Guo, this Cheng Luyi originally entered the East Palace as a servant, but she used the good citizen registration book issued to her by your household department!" Now it's a good thing, I took this to her family, and told me that his daughter had been dead for more than ten years! Come on, come on, please move with me to His Royal Highness the Prince, let him come to the commentary, how can I make up for my loss? ”

Guo Zuyi, the household servant, is also a good man at the moment, and it is difficult to argue with all the good words, in fact, he is like a mirror in his heart, this kind of thing is very common in the household affairs department. According to the law, every household must report the birth or death of any person to the governor immediately, and then the governor will register and verify with the household officials, so as to ensure the accurate control of the population by the imperial court.

However, at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, household registration management has always been based on encouraging childbirth. Specifically, it is implemented on the heads of the people, that is, whoever has more children will receive the higher the official bank subsidy every month, and if they do not have children, the tax will be several percent heavier!

So this led to some unruly people, even if the child died later, they didn't report it, or bought the mayor, and the two parties divided the subsidized official money.

And according to his speculation, this Cheng Luyi should also belong to this situation. However, later someone took advantage of the loophole and used this household registration book to deceive, which led to the current Xu Zhizhang being swept away with gold and silver, and by the way, it also became a big joke in the capital.

Because of his weak heart, Guo Zuyi has a very good attitude, but no matter how he asks for mercy, Xu Zhizhang is determined - there must be someone in the household department who has colluded with that slut, if he doesn't give himself an explanation today, he will sue the emperor!

"Oh, my Lord Xu, why don't you be unreasonable? This matter-" When the two were tearing, fortunately, the chamberlain of the East Palace arrived in time and passed the two of them to meet together.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Hail to Your Highness! ”

"It's all up, Xu Qing, I've heard about you. I didn't expect this dancing girl to be a liar, and I apologize to you for being alone in this matter. ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince apologized to Xu Zhizhang in a low voice, Guo Zuyi hurriedly followed suit. However, at this time, Xu Zhizhang suddenly said: "Your Highness, although that slut is a liar, there is no source now." But Weichen remembered that after she entered the house that day, people came to Chen's house several times to look for her, saying that it was her mother's family. One of the ministers has also seen the old husband and wife, and Wechen can conclude that their accents are from the capital, so now as long as they find the old couple, they can find this slut along the vine, so as to get out of the evil breath in Weichen's heart! ”

As soon as the prince heard this, he immediately nodded: "Then since this is the case, Lone Ben specially ordered you to investigate this matter, arrest that slut or correct the law on the spot!" If there are those yamen in need of help among the six departments, just ask! ”

In this way, Xu Zhizhang took the golden order given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a grand manner, and used it to take away the thick stack of scrolls from Guo Zuyi's hands.

Guo Zuyi has been an official for many years, so she is naturally very defensive of people. In the battle between the crown prince and the king of Qin, he has always remained neutral.

Therefore, at the beginning, although he agreed orally in front of the prince, he was extremely reluctant to transfer these top secret sect files to Xu Zhizhang, for fear that if something happened to him, he would be passive at that time.
