Chapter 85: The Origin of the Scar
Su Bottle investigated the corruption case and arrested two people, but the performance of these two people is completely different.
Tian Qun is very honest, he bites out all the people in that group with one mouth, including two third-grade officials. And Zhang Guan refused to say it, and he still didn't say it.
Although Tian Qun confessed, Xue Shilang was still not easy to start, because only the emperor could punish officials above the third rank. The emperor did not speak, and Xue Pang did not have the authority to directly search the mansion of the third-rank officials.
It is said that the emperor was also very concerned about the "major corruption case of Lushuncang" and demanded a strict investigation and deep investigation, but it was strange that when Xue Pang presented what he thought was "ironclad evidence" to the emperor, the emperor said that the evidence was insufficient, and criticized Xue Pang for his ineffective handling of affairs.
Criticized by the emperor, Xue Pangzhi's chagrin was written on his face. Crazy generally, he asked his subordinates to hurry up the case and collect more evidence. If the "ironclad evidence" submitted next time is rejected by the emperor, then he Xue Pang will have no face to be a waiter again.
Su Bei had long commented that Xue Pang was a life-urging ghost, but now this ghost has exploded, staying in the Criminal Department all day and night, and he simply treats the Criminal Department as his home. As soon as he exerted his strength, Feng Shilang was not to be outdone, and also moved to the Criminal Department to live. These two squires are at full speed, and they are soaring.
The officials are angry and strong, and their subordinates are unlucky. One by one, they were so busy that they hit the back of their heads and were physically and mentally exhausted.
During this period, Mei Ran figured out that there were a total of nine action teams under Xue Pang, and they were handling nine major cases.
The nine persons in charge of the major case don't have much contact with each other, but the little knife officials like Mei Ran have a lot of communication. In particular, Mei Ran is a beautiful girl, and she is a scenery of the knife class. Everyone had nothing to say to talk to her, and Mei Ran wanted to inquire about the news, which was extremely easy.
Mei Ran told Su Bottle, you don't have to be too anxious, because the other eight groups don't even have a single piece of "ironclad evidence" now. Only you have made progress, so Xue Pang was the first to submit the major corruption case. And the other eight groups, because of their ineffective work, Xue Pang has become popular, and three of them have been dismissed.
It is said that Xue Pang still has to transfer people from other yamen, and I don't know who he can transfer.
Su Bei didn't care about the affairs of other groups, and Mei Ran's words, he only listened to them for fun. In addition, Mei Ran's worries are superfluous, and Su Bottle, a person, rarely gets angry because of work matters.
At this time, Su Bei was thinking about how to extort money from Han Fei and find out the money behind him; and how to take revenge on Zhao Lian, the prince of Qi.
"This crossbow machine is a bad guy. I don't know who lost this thing. It is estimated that there will be a penalty. If you don't do it, you will have to file a lawsuit. Su Bottle pinched a folding crossbow machine in his hand, put it in his pocket, and hid it.
Mei Ran said: "So serious? ”
Su Bottle smiled bitterly: "That's not it." The bow and crossbow are extra-contraband. Unless there are hunters in the mountains, they are never allowed to hide privately. And in this Luoyang City, there are no Orions at all. Therefore, once it is found that the private house has a bow and crossbow, it is a felony. The bows and crossbows issued by Jin Wuwei, Taoist soldiers, bad people, and military officials are numbered and are not allowed to be lost. Once lost, it is sin. Prevent the outflow of weapons from regular channels. ”
said that he would release him today, but Su Bottle did not release Zhang Fakui, Lao Wu, and Lao Liu. When it was time to get off work, Han Fei sent Zhu Kun to inquire again.
Su Bottle said to Zhu Kun, I'm really embarrassed, now the problem is serious. This crossbow machine was denounced, and now I say that I picked it up from the culvert, but the officials are not easy to fool, they don't believe it.
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Kun ran back to find Han Fei. Han Fei gritted his teeth and sent another two hundred taels.
This time, Su Bottle collected the money, and he collected it behind his back. Otherwise, if she sees it, she will have to give her half again. But the last time the hundred taels, she confiscated. As Su Bottle said, I bought it with my life. As a result, Mei Ran couldn't bear to share his money.
Carrying the little sister like Qingxi to collect money, Su Bottle was a little reluctant in his heart. After work, buy new clothes for Mei Ran. For a tael of silver, I bought a long dress with white gauze and red gauze. She thinks it's pretty good-looking, beautiful.
Let's just say that this girl is so foolish, and a tael of silver will make her happy. She also persuaded Su Bottle in turn, you are not very rich now, don't think of yourself as Su Dashao anymore, you must know to save money. Yunyun.
Hearing her say this, Su Bottle's guilt deepened.
At this time, Su Bottle's only "overseas asset" is the teahouse, and Su Bottle is still beating the drum in his heart, if he really enters the county lord's mansion, then the real estate will not violate the "Taiping Alliance", so Su Bottle considered passing this property to the name of the Su family.
But now Su Bei feels that he has offended a lot of people in Luoyang City, for fear that someone will report to his family, so it is better to let them stay in Chang'an. So Su Bottle planned to write this house under Mei Ran's name.
But the inheritance property also has to pay taxes, which is a loss, Su Bottle wants to lose the trick: if he marries Mei Ran, and then divorces, and puts the house in the name of his ex-wife?
Obviously, this idea was out of the ordinary in the Liang Dynasty. Because the divorce rate of the Liang Dynasty is very low. It would be a great shame if any woman was divorced. How could Su Bottle bear to let Mei Ran bear it?
But in aristocratic circles, divorce is nothing new. It is said that "dirty Tang Dynasty, stinky man", among which the dirty Tang Dynasty refers to the life style of the Tang Dynasty. The Hu of the Li Tang Group is more serious, so the women of the Tang Dynasty are bold and bold, and their lives are also relatively chaotic.
For example, Wu Meiniang, who was originally Li Shimin's woman, turned out to be "never in the golden tent, first bathed in the golden basin rain and showed grace", and she got involved with the prince Li Zhi. Later, Li Shimin died, and Li Zhi sent Wu Meiniang to live in the temple for a period of time, and then took her back to the palace and became Li Zhi's woman.
Then there are Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, Yang Guifei was originally Tang Xuanzong's daughter-in-law.
There is also Tang Shunzong's daughter Princess Xiangyang, who loves private visits to micro-services, and her life is even more indescribable.
In the Tang Dynasty, more than 20 princesses were married for the second time, and three of them were married for the third time. And after Wu Meiniang became the emperor, she simply opened a harem, which was a precedent.
At this time, the Liang Dynasty, although it was somewhat restrained compared with the Tang Dynasty, generally inherited the Tang style. It is no wonder that the Jiangnan Jin Dynasty said that it was orthodox, while the Northern Dynasty was the Hu people.
The life style of the first two county lords of the Tang family can actually smell some Tang style. And the current Tang Qiu Mengsu and others are also this virtue.
"What are you going to do with the crossbow?"
After buying clothes, Su Bottle came to Chengfeng Teahouse to rest, and Mei Ran brought a pot of tea.
Su Bottle took a sip of tea: "This favor will be given to Tong Yin." ”
Mei Ran said: "The bad people are also divided into two branches: north and south. This crossbow machine was obtained by a thief in Beishi, and it is estimated that it was not lost by Tong Yin's subordinates. ”
Su Bottle said: "Do you care about human favors, what do you care about?" ”
Mei Ran shrugged.
Tonight, the sisters didn't know where to go, and there were only Lu Sanniang and a few female guys in the house. The guys are also members of the Red Flower Society, but the composition of the Red Flower Society is very complex, and the masters are particularly powerful, and these people who have no ability to do their work are more like extras.
I don't know what the Grand Sect Master of the Red Flower Society thinks, now that the Red Flower Society is half dead, is it planning to give up?
However, Su Bei didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Red Flower Society, and he was not in the mood to tease the little girl, so he gave Hua Qianbouquet fifteen dollars and asked her to buy the largest string of rock sugar gourds.
Since sugar is very expensive, rock sugar gourd is considered a relatively luxurious snack. The little guy took the money with a smile on his lips and shyly, trotted out, ran back breathlessly, and came back with a rock sugar gourd in front of Su Bottle, saying that he would give it to Brother Su Bottle and Sister Mei Ran first.
Su Bei felt that this child was promising, so he rewarded her with another thirty dollars. The little one was overjoyed.
Just when Su Bottle was teasing the child, the Ye sisters came back, and Ye Guhong was holding an infant baby in her arms.
Everyone gathered to take a look, and saw that this doll was good-looking, with big eyes, a high nose, and a small fist, looking blankly at the group of people in front of them.
Lu Sanniang asked, whose family is this child?
Ye Guhong said that he picked it up on the street.
Everyone wanted to look through the swaddling clothes to see if there were any clues left by their parents, but Ye Guhong said that he didn't need to look at it, there were no clues.
A group of people said that they wanted to name the child, and Ye Guhong said that now the Red Flower Society can't support itself, so don't leave the child. She knew a demon master surnamed Ji and wanted to give the child to that person.
Lu Sanniang hurriedly said: "Wouldn't it be evil to give the child to him?" ”
Ye Guhong said: "This time is different from the past, he has given up those crooked ways and devoted himself to the "Vermilion Bird Sutra". can practice this skill, but he went crazy and broke his body, and it is impossible to have children in this life. Therefore he wants children, not as a scourge, but as a child to feed them. I believe that Ji Kuzen is a person, his master is dead, and he will not do those things that hurt heaven and reason. ”
Lu Sanniang nodded and said, "His master is not a person, but Ji Kuzen is not a thing like his master." ”
Later, Su Bottle learned that Ji Kuchan was the senior brother of Night Frost. Night Frost kills Master, but her brother does not hate her, but approves of her.
Ye Hanshuang killed his teacher, saying that he had no face to be a man and wanted to commit suicide. It was still Ji Kuchan who persuaded her not to do stupid things. Later, Night Frost didn't die, but she ruined her face with a knife. This is where the scar on her face comes from.
I don't know how she killed her master, and I don't know why she killed her master, Ji Kuchan kept it a secret for this, and Ji Kuchan also did an unbelievable thing, he also cut off his face.
When Su Bottle saw Ji Kuzen, he was quite shocked.
It was a tall man, no more than thirty years old, but his hands were as rough as the bark of an old tree because of his evil practice.
He looked at the swaddling girl with compassion, and said with a smile: "She became my child because of the "Vermilion Bird Sutra", so let's call her Suzaku." ”
