Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"In fact, you have also seen now that all cases in various places are judged by local magistrates. People's subjective consciousness takes the lead, and the real law plays a minimal role."

"But the establishment of the Judicial Yuan will completely change this phenomenon. The Judicial Yuan will be the most just place in Dakang in the future, and everything will be done in accordance with the law."

Ning Fan kept talking, getting more and more excited as he talked, and even Ergou, who was standing aside, became energetic after hearing this.

Zhou Qun even took out a pen and paper and kept writing down something. He seemed to have forgotten his hunger and the time. It was not until it was already dark outside and the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen came to remind him several times that Ning Fan finally died. The food was served.

"Mr. Zhou, if you come tomorrow, we will continue to discuss. There are many things I only provide an idea, but the subsequent implementation depends on your cabinet."

Ning Fan sat there, his face flushed, and his eyes shining with excitement.

Since Zhou Qun came to Kyoto, and before he managed the civil and military officials in an orderly manner, all the problems that Ning Fan found difficult were solved by Zhou Qun one by one. Now, a major change of officialdom in Kyoto is underway, and almost all the original officials have been replaced. Replaced.

In Ning Fan's opinion, it is imperative to abolish the six-ministry system and the original bureaucracy. These things must be implemented step by step by Zhou Qun's hands.

"The things His Majesty said are too shocking. If they are all implemented, it will really take some time."

Zhou Qun treasured the things recorded in the notebook in his arms. These things were very important to him, because every word of Ning Fan was worth studying and scrutinizing.

Although the food was carefully prepared in the imperial dining room, Ning Fan and Zhou Qun were not in the mood to taste the delicious food. After they ate some food in a hurry, they ordered Ergou to take these things away. After that, the monarch and his ministers continued to the next step. discussion.

The discussion in the evening mainly focused on Zhou Qun's questions, and Ning Fan answered that because during the day Zhou Qun recorded a lot of things in his notebook, but he didn't understand them at all. At night, Zhou Qun focused on these questions. Questions were asked to Ning Fan one by one.

When Ning Fan explained these issues, he often explained them in simple terms and tried to use plain language to explain these issues clearly and thoroughly, while Zhou Qun concentrated on recording them in his notebook, thinking and digesting them with his brain while recording.

Unknowingly, it was late at night. Zhou Qun finally realized that it was getting late, so he quickly got up and left.

"Er Gou, use my carriage to take Mr. Zhou back to his house."

Ning Fan stood up to see him off, and gave Zhou Qun a great honor, which was to let him ride in the emperor's carriage. Although Zhou Qun continued to refuse, Ning Fan finally forced people to push Zhou Qun into the carriage.

As expected early the next morning, Lei Zhen blocked the outside of the palace again, but this time Lei Zhen was smart and did not disturb Ning Fan's sleep. He only came to Ning Fan after Ning Fan got up.

"What's going on this time? Someone died again?"

Ning Fan's expression didn't look serious, but his tone was stern.

Such a big thing happened in Kyoto, but Lei Zhen, who was a member of the Imperial Guard, could not find the murderer. Not only that, he could only sit back and wait for death, reporting to the emperor every day. This was simply a manifestation of incompetence.

"What's the situation over at Yueying? He's not paying attention to this matter. The information he has is more extensive than yours. It's best to let him help you make suggestions. Maybe this matter will turn around soon. .”

As an emperor, Ning Fan naturally does not want to care about one or two murder cases. In fact, this matter is nothing to Ning Fan. No matter what secrets are hidden behind it, it is not enough to affect Ning Fan, the emperor!

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Miss Yueying is not in Kyoto, but was secretly sent to Jiangnan by you."

Lei Zhen said pitifully.

Lei Zhen's ability is indeed good for some things, but for some things Lei Zhen's brain is really not good enough, but this murder case is indeed too weird, and it is beyond the scope of Lei Zhen's ability.

Three Dabo businessmen died in three consecutive days, which was a huge pressure for Lei Zhen.

After all, trade between Dakang and Dabo is very frequent. If it offends these Dabo people, Dakang is likely to lose Dabao as a trading partner in the future.

"Place a few people into the Daxiangguo Temple and conduct a thorough investigation among the monks to see if there are any suspicious people among these monks. In addition, there are also secret operations among the Jin Yiwei and the merchants of the Dabo Kingdom. Investigate to see if there is a mole."

Ning Fan proposed two directions of investigation.

These two directions of investigation pointed out the direction for Lei Zhen. If Lei Zhen followed these two directions, he should be able to find the murderer hiding behind it.

After Lei Zhen left, Ning Fan came to the attic again and looked in the direction of the Great Xiangguo Temple. The sound of the bells of the Great Xiangguo Temple could be heard for ten miles every day, and the incense was faint.

How could such a place with so many people and so many people talking about it unknowingly move more than ten tons of statues to the back mountain of Daxiangguo Temple? Judging from the entire structure of Daxiangguo Temple, there is only one way leading to the back mountain. Road, the rest of the road is very steep and impossible.

"Your Majesty, I still can't figure out how those people moved those stone sculptures to the top of the mountain. One person walked up there with bare hands, even though he felt very tired. It would be impossible to carry a statue weighing one ton and several hundred kilograms. .”

Just when Ning Fan was deep in thought, Ergou beside him also spoke.

“Eliminate all the impossible options, then the only possibility is the answer.

They did not carry those statues up through the mountain road. There is probably a secret passage hidden on the mountain behind the Daxiangguo Temple. "

Ning Fan made his own judgment. He suddenly felt enlightened. The two previous paths and two directions of investigation now seemed to be wrong.

"Hurry up and call Lei Zhen back and ask him to send people to surround me on the back hill of Daxiangguo Temple. In addition, there is probably a secret passage from the back hill of Daxiangguo Temple to some mysterious place. This secret passage Once found, I’m afraid it will lead to somewhere outside the city.”

Ning Fan thought of many things again.

Before rashly attacking the enemy, Ning Fan still wanted to find a foolproof strategy. It would be best to catch them all in one go and try not to let any fish slip through the net.

"Your Majesty, I really can't understand why these murderers specifically target businessmen from Dabo Kingdom. Do they want to provoke hatred between Dabo and Dakang? Who on earth hopes for such a result?"

Ergou raised a second question.
