I'm playing tricks in Daqin

In order to prevent unprovoked and malicious petitions from unreasonable people, we knock on the Dengwengu. No matter what the reason is, the first court rod is thirty. Wei wanted to see what kind of grievances had happened in the world under his rule, to the extent of knocking on Dengwen drums.

It was the first time for Lao Li's family to sit in Longting, and the Dengwen Drum was sounded. The courtiers did not dare to be negligent, and they put down their official duties and entered the palace.

Since ancient times, courtiers waited for the emperor, but today, Li Wei sat on the dragon chair and watched the courtiers walk in one by one. Such an abnormal situation made everyone realize that something was wrong.

"Old Tian, ​​the emperor's expression is not right, I'm afraid he's going to kill someone today."

Zhuang Yunxiao said worriedly.

"The officials are making a lot of noise these days. If you can persuade us, you still have to persuade us. There must be no major changes in the court situation."

Tian Ce and his confidants are not optimistic about the reform of the currency system. The disadvantages of the money policy have existed since ancient times. Why has it not been changed?

It's not that I don't want to change, it's that I dare not change.

Now that the world is not unified, and the anti-Qin forces in the country have not been completely eliminated, it is unwise to rashly move the money bags of the world's officials.

But they dare not directly oppose the reform of the currency system. The conflict between the emperor and his confidants will give people a dangerous illusion.

The only thing Tian Ce and others can do now is to try to handle affairs as lightly as possible.

Looking at today's posture, it's impossible to think about it.

The courtiers had almost arrived, so Li Wei said, "I called you here today because someone beat the Dengwen drum, come here, and bring the drummer to the hall."

As soon as an old lady walked into the hall, the officials began to discuss.

Chapter 589 Your Majesty, stop making trouble

"Tell me about your injustice."

The current emperor is right opposite, surrounded by high-ranking officials, the old woman trembled with fear, but she wanted her own grievances, so she tried her best to calm down her emotions and complained about her grievances.

This matter is also related to Li Wei. The old woman's daughter is the singer Mei Shan who was beside Zhuang Yunyi when Li Wei set up a trap to trap Zhuang Yunyi.

The dealer suffered a big loss, and Mei Shan was also angered. After returning home, she was beaten to death with a stick. Mei Shan's father was so angry that he went to the government to file a complaint. The official accepted the case, but Mei Shan's father disappeared on the way home. .

Both her husband and her only daughter died, and the old woman who had lost everything went all out. Knowing that the banker's fortune was strong, she could only put all her hopes on the Dengwen drum.

"Tell me, how to deal with this case?"

As soon as the words fell, Jing Zhao Yin Yan Hongsheng immediately came out and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have already found out about the disappearance, and I have sent the government servants to look for it. Now, in order to find the body, it is too hasty to believe that I was killed, so I only consider it as missing." guilty punishment."

"What about Mei Shan's case?"

"Meishan has already signed a contract of sale with the Zhuang Mansion. She became the singer of the Zhuang Mansion. She died of a sudden illness, and the case was improperly filed."

"Can Diva die casually?"

Li Wei gritted his teeth and asked.

"Your Majesty, he died of a sudden illness."

After Tian Ce finished speaking, he winked fiercely, for fear that Li Wei would say something taboo in his rage.

Except for the Kingdom of Jin, all countries have long prohibited slave trading, but the ban is just a dead letter, and buying and selling slaves and maidservants in the Kingdom of Qin is even more common.

The ministers in the court, whose family has no servants and maids "died of sudden illness"

After signing the deed of sale, it is the owner's personal belongings. No magistrate would pursue this kind of thing, and the magistrate himself has done so.

Of course, the officials are all benevolent and righteous gentlemen, and this kind of thing is also tacitly understood. If Li Wei starts with the unspoken rules that have been popular for a long time, everyone will be in danger.

"Your Majesty, my daughter did not sell herself. She is just a singing girl, not a private singing girl! The old woman is old and sick. In order to treat me, my daughter became a singing girl, selling and singing in restaurants and tea shops to make money, and clinging to Zhuang Yunyi. In order to make more money, pretend that she never sold herself!"

Yan Hongsheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this person's nonsense, I have seen the contract of prostitution, and Mei Shan is undoubtedly the singer of the Zhuang Mansion."

"Since that's the case, why is there any injustice in this case? I think she just wants to blackmail more money."

"Perhaps the missing old man got compensation and wanted to get rid of the burden and ran away by himself. How could he be framed and murdered?"

"Falsely accuse others by knocking on Dengwen drum, Your Majesty, please punish her for deceiving the king!"

An illiterate old woman, no match for the trolls in the court, she didn't know how to answer every one of them.

At this moment, Li Wei's complexion had turned from black to red. The dealer didn't hold people accountable for killing people, and even severely punished the family members of the victims. These beasts are too lawless!Sensing that something was wrong, Tian Ce hurried out to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, this old lady has been ill for many years. Now that she has lost her beloved daughter, it is inevitable that her mind is a little abnormal. It is not uncommon for her to speak indiscriminately. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. After all, Shan died in the Zhuang Mansion, and the Zhuang Mansion also took more money to compensate for the old woman's pension, that's all.

If the autopsy reveals that someone was beaten to death, then the beater will be severely punished according to the law, and justice will be given to the deceased. "

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers all agreed, and even Li Wei's expression softened a lot.

Li Wei asked with a smile: "If you pay more money, punish the culprit severely, and give the victim and his family an explanation, the case will be closed?"

"As it should be."

"Then Mei Shan died in vain?"

"If someone beats you, the culprit will naturally be punished severely."

"What about the person who ordered Mei Shan to be beaten?"

Tian Ce, who was questioned, smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, this case... should not be too complicated."

Li Wei, who stood up suddenly, kicked the dragon case over, and roared: "If someone dies, it's a hasty thing? Don't say whether Mei Shan is a singer or not, so what if she is a singer? She is not a singer." People can be killed in vain?"

The ministers didn't answer, but their eyes told Li Wei that the singer was not a human being at all, and her death would be in vain.

"Decree to take Zhuang Yunyi to the hall for questioning!"

"Your Majesty, Zhuang Yunyi has been driven back to his hometown by his father since he offended Tianwei..."

Yan Hongsheng said with a face of cold sweat.

"Run away? If you can run away, the monk can't escape the temple. Take his father back!"

Zhuang Zhiming is known as the Emperor of Gold and Silver, and Li Wei's words immediately caused an uproar when he was arrested just for a singer.

"What? My will has been invalidated? Ding Xi, go arrest someone!"

Seeing that Ding Xi was ordered to leave, Tian Ce knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, if the officers and soldiers are mobilized to arrest people today, the old minister will have to die here!"

When he knelt, Wu You and Wen Zishan also knelt down one after another, and with the leadership of the three giants, other civil servants also knelt down one after another.

"You want to rebel?"

"Your Majesty, arresting people is easy, but the world is about to be overthrown!"

Tian Ce cried out.

The reform of the currency system has caused a strong backlash, and now Li Wei wants to arrest Zhuang Zhiming, which will inevitably cause a huge sensation.

Kill if you want, catch if you want, it looks great, but the consequences are unbearable, the reform of the currency system has already triggered the unspoken rules of fire consumption, and now the emperor touches slavery, vested interest groups will never accept it.

If Li Wei insists on going his own way, catastrophe will be in sight.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

Hearing the sensitive words, Ding Xi subconsciously drew his saber, but seeing all the officials kneeling under his highness, he could only withdraw the saber silently.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to mess around, you really can't mess around!"

Tian Ce begged.

"Wei Yongjie told me that the flood of the Feng River was caused by setting up water trucks and building dams along the river. I was worried about the opposition of the gentry and hesitated to make a decision, so that the people would always face the disaster of floods."

Speaking of a murder case, Li Wei suddenly got involved in the Feng River, and all the ministers were stunned.

"I'm worried. I think things should be done one by one. When the currency system reform is implemented, there should be no further disturbances. But today, we encountered Mei Shan's murder again. If I continue to be cowardly, how many innocent people will be killed every day?" Kill the rich and powerful directly? I did not fight the world to bully the poor, but to let the poor live a good life! What happened to Mei Shan made me understand that the suffering of the people's life, they are all waiting for people to go Help, Mei Shan’s mother found me today, if I don’t uphold justice, there will really be no place for justice in this world! Ding Xi, go and arrest people, whoever wants to die in the hall, just die. I don’t feel sorry for my generation, no matter how many times I die, I also want to thank you, you are dead, just to make room for conscientious officials.”

Li Wei, who came from later generations, did not receive a "good" feudal education. In his heart, human life is human life, and there is no distinction between high and low. encouragement.

When there is nothing to do, he does things unscrupulously. Now that he is the emperor, he is timid, so what is the meaning of the emperor?

If you want to overthrow yourself, as long as you are not afraid of death, just come.

Tian Ce didn't expect that Li Wei would run away suddenly, and hurriedly stood in front of Ding Xi, "Ding Xi, Your Majesty is messing around, and you are also messing around? I stopped you for your Majesty's benefit."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it, don't move around!"

After Zhuang Yunxiao finished speaking, he hugged Ding Xi lazily, and Ding Xi, who was unable to arrest people in the first place, remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, if you do something urgently, you will be meritorious; if you delay something urgently, you will be wrong if you are busy."

"I don't want to wait anymore. I know your worries. Today, I will show you how ridiculous your worries are. Little six, do you dare to leave the palace with me?"

"A slave will never give up!"

"Okay, I'll show everyone today how I managed to take down the prisoner without losing a single soldier! Let's go!"

Seeing Li Wei leave directly with the sixth father-in-law, Baiguan was completely dumbfounded.

Tian Ce said helplessly: "Ding Xi, why are you still standing there, bring someone to escort you! My colleagues also go with me to persuade the emperor."

Li Wei didn't listen to their advice and wanted to leave the palace directly. Unless he rebelled, no one would dare to stop him. The only way was to follow up with all the officials and continue to persuade him. As for making the conflict between the monarch and his ministers public, he didn't care about it at this time on these.

When the emperor appeared on the street in a dragon robe, it immediately caused a huge commotion, surrounded by a large number of people.

With sufficient internal strength, Li Wei loudly told Mei Shan's tragic experience, and everyone in the audience cursed angrily.

"Some people say that Mei Shan is the singer of the Zhuang Mansion, so she can be beaten and killed by the Zhuang family, but in my opinion, no matter whether it is a dignitary or a servant of a singer, or even a beggar on the street, they are all my people. Do not be killed indiscriminately!"

As soon as the words fell, the people in the audience applauded.

"Since ancient times, the poor have never fought against the rich. The banker has opened a prosperous business. He has a lot of money in his hand and can buy off many officials. These years, he has done bad things, but no one dares to say it. But today, I will Do justice for the heavens! If I don’t mobilize a single soldier today, I will take you, who have been bullied by rich and powerful businessmen, to the dealer to seek justice. Do you dare to go with me?”

Since ancient times, it has been a joke for a prince to break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, and it has never been a big deal for the powerful to kill common people.

But today, the current emperor wants to personally stand up for a little singer, and the people naturally support them, shouting long live, and Li Wei took the initiative to make way in front of him.

"Boss, there are too many people, Your Majesty is in danger..."

Tian Ce shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's departure from the palace this time is unexpected, no one will be prepared, and His Majesty has never been as safe as now. Whoever dares to attack His Majesty, the surrounding people will eat him alive. The dealer is afraid It's over."

Walking all the way from Zhuque Street, the people along the way joined the team spontaneously after hearing the purpose of the emperor's trip, and the merchants along the way also took the opportunity to make a small fortune, and all the things that could be used for fighting in the shops were snapped up.

When Li Wei left the palace, news spread from the palace, and the whole dealer was in chaos.

"Father is seriously ill now, I can't be frightened, I want to take my father to the secret house!"

5 Chapter Ninety

The dealer dared to confront Li Wei head-on, so he naturally thought of a way out. The mansion not only dug secret passages, but also set up many secret houses in Chang'an City to hide dead soldiers. The direct descendants of the banker who reported the news can also escape safely.

But at a critical juncture, Zhuang Yunxiao, the eldest son, wanted to take the lead in escaping, causing the expressions of the servants and guards to change involuntarily.

Lin Qianru also knew what kind of virtue he was, and never expected anything from him, and said coldly: "Just send the adoptive father to the secret house. A murder case can't reach the time of extermination. The court has not locked it down, and the secret passage is still open." Out of service."

"Nonsense, father's safety comes first."

After leaving a word, Zhuang Yunxiao ignored Lin Qianru, impatiently ordered his confidants to carry his father, and went straight to the back house, apparently to activate the secret passage.

Ou Weijian said angrily: "Young Master is really fooling around. Secret Dao is the last hole card, how can you play it now!"

"Forget it, he is the young master, the young master, can we take care of it? Let the guards gather and surround the mansion!"

The guards of the Zhuang family were either children of the family or orphans adopted since childhood. They only knew that the Zhuang family did not know the court. Even if the emperor brought people here in person, no one was afraid when Lin Qianru gave an order. They all took weapons and prepared to defend the Zhuang family to the death.

When Li Wei came with the people who blocked the street, Lin Qianru was already waiting with more than 50 guards.

"Where's Zhuang Yunyi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhuang Yunyi has violated the family rules and has been driven back to his hometown by my adoptive father. He went to the family temple to reflect on his mistakes."

Lin Qianru replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"If you're not here, you're here. Whoever killed Mei Shan, hand it over."

"Your Majesty, the case of Mei Shan has not been tried. She obviously died of a sudden illness. The daughter of the people really doesn't understand. Why does Your Majesty insist that she was killed?"

"I have already sent people to investigate, and found Mei Shan's body in the mass grave. This is the corpse. What are the wounds on the body? It is written clearly that Mei Shan was beaten to death."

With a wave of Lin Qianru's hand, a servant was brought out immediately.

"The daughter of the people has already interrogated. It was Zhuang Bingsheng, a slave in the mansion, who was interested in Mei Shan, but was rejected. He killed Mei Shan in anger. The murderer has been handed over to His Majesty. Can the case be closed?"

Hearing Lin Qianru's words, the surrounding people were silent for a while. They didn't dare to make trouble, but it was useless if they made trouble. Just like today, rich and noble people beat people to death, and they can find scapegoats casually, even if the government wants to investigate. useless.

It's just that this time the emperor led the team himself, and the people all looked at Li Wei hopefully, hoping that there would be a special plane for things.

"The case cannot be closed so easily."
