Sheng Shi Merciful Light

If Tuoba Yingkuo really participated in this matter, then he is really too courageous.

Le Zhao tutted his head and shook his head: "He is really not afraid of death, he dared to demonstrate to the Lord." Qi Yan, who has gone through vicissitudes and is used to the dark world, understands best, and said: "For a person who has lost his country and loved ones, For a person who can't even be a normal man, death is not the most terrible thing. His biggest wish now should be revenge, and he doesn't care about life or death."

Le Shu helped Mu Ci sort out the information, and also said: "Looking at what Tuoba Yingkuo has done before, and this time he fought with all his strength, he did not hesitate to lose all his mother's clan and his own power, and finally lost the army and ended up like this , it can be seen that his greatest ideal is not only to have power, but also to make the country strong. Now that everything is shattered, living is just a pain, it is better to die to make the enemy feel bad."

And Tuoba Yingkuo's biggest enemy is Mu Ci.

Le Zhao asked Mu Ci: "Master, are you going to arrest him?"

"No need, if he dares to protest against me, he will definitely not leave any direct evidence, so why not him." Mu Ci replied.

"Then let him go like this?" Le Zhao was not happy.

Mei Rong said: "Let's go to the court where the case is heard first, and he should also go there."

Le Zhao thinks about it too, Tuoba Yingkuo can be called "Kirin son", he must be a very smart person, he must know that the master is concerned about the case and will go to the jury, then Tuoba Yingkuo will definitely go to the trial site to see the reactions of all parties .Just like the perpetrators always go to the scene of the crime to have a look!

Mu Ci and his party went to Dali Temple, because the matter involved the royal family and was a woman, so there was no public hearing.The presiding judge is Qing Wang, and the deputy judges are Fang Shanwu and Dou Yuan.Since Zhu Xi helped the Eldest Princess of Lin'an come over and sat in the jury seat, it can be seen that this matter is indeed related to the "Tianming" fund as Mu Ci deduced, and Lin'an attaches great importance to it.

When Mu Ci arrived at Dali Temple, she was directly invited to the side of Princess Lin'an.

Lin'an is quite old recently, after all, she is almost 90 years old. When she saw Mu Ci, she took his hand, smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise many things in the future will be hard to say." .”

Mu Ci just nodded and said: "It's really a fluke this time, brother should be thanked." He didn't take the credit, and looked at the trial scene with a calm expression.

Lin'an asked concerned: "Is Huguo Gong okay? Are you awake?"

"It's not that easy to wake up. It's a fluke to get my life back this time." Mu Ci sighed. He dislikes things that exceed expectations, but there are always too many accidents in the world.

The trial officials took their seats, and the people in the courtroom stopped talking.

In the trial of ancient cases, there was already a rudimentary form of a lawyer. Both parties hired people who knew the law to be their lawyers. King Ding invited one of his legal staff to list all kinds of criminal evidence.Princess Dingguo also invited guests to defend her innocence by citing counter-evidence.

The presiding judge, King Qing, was accompanied by Dou Yuan, a law-aware minister of Dali Temple, and Fang Shanwu from the Ministry of Punishment, who was also familiar with the law. The three of them often exchanged opinions and asked about various matters.

The specific trial is not mentioned.

The testimony of the witnesses is very unfavorable to Princess Dingguo's side, but all the arrows are only pointing to the Pingyuan County Lord.Even the assassin who was recognized by Prince Duan Ze of the Nanli Kingdom said that the county lord of Pingyuan met him with his subordinates by accident and knew that he had been a gangster, so he sold himself as a gardener in order to avoid the government.The Lord Pingyuan threatened to expose him, and at the same time gave him a large sum of money to bribe him to kill the Lord Chaoyang, and promised not to reveal his identity afterwards.

Princess Dingguo didn't know about it, she just regarded him as an ordinary gardener.

In other words, Princess Dingguo doesn't know anything!

But what is the motive of the Lord Pingyuan to kill Chaoyang?

County Lord Pingyuan felt very aggrieved, opened his mouth to defend himself, turned his head, but was stared at by Princess Dingguo's sharp eyes, closed his opened mouth, lowered his head, and only said that she had old grudges with Chaoyang , because she had a good relationship with the King of Chu and supported Li Chenggong, so she made a murderous attempt to keep King Chu and King Ding busy for a while and not have time to take care of Zhen Beigong's request for the crown prince.

Take all the blame.

Seeing this, Mu Ci knew that the County Lord Pingyuan must have a bigger reason to be caught by Princess Dingguo.

What exactly needs to be checked slowly.

Because of King Ding's pressure, the result of the trial came out very quickly. In fact, it was already very clear that the matter was broken by Mu Ci.It's just about "Tianming"'s charity. Neither Princess Dingguo nor Princess Yuan admitted that she had ever coveted someone, and King Ding didn't have direct evidence, so this accusation cannot be established.

Therefore, King Qing made a verdict on the case of Pingyuan County's murder of Chaoyang County's owner.

Because of the attempted murder, the Lord Pingyuan escaped the death penalty, was demoted to common people, and was sentenced to exile in Yahai together with his son Li Chengli.Princess Dingguo was sentenced to be the princess of Dingguo because of the crime of oversight, cover-up and armed resistance to arrest.At the same time, the two companies compensated a total of 10 taels of silver for medical expenses and damages to the victim.

Pingnanhou, who was covered in plaster all over his body, was also taken to court.Because Ping Nanhou was the mastermind, he was sentenced to be deprived of his title, imprisoned for life and subjected to labor reform, and fined 10 taels of silver to the victim.

Ding Wang submitted a divorce application for his daughter in court, wanting to divorce a husband like Ping Nanhou who wanted to kill his wife and son, and Dali Temple also accepted the application on the spot.According to the terms of Princess Chaoyang's written application, she can not only take away all the dowry, but also divide the property of the Pingnanhou Mansion, the specific amount depends on the negotiation between the two parties.Regardless of whether Ping Nanhou is airless or not, he must always put on an attitude.

At the same time, the custody of Wang Ziguang also belongs to Princess Chaoyang.

It was already afternoon after the trial of the case. Although the matter was not over, it finally came to an end. Mu Ci didn't have a good lunch and was hungry, so he wanted to go home to drink his afternoon tea.On the way back, he saw Tuoba Yingkuo, who was dressed up in Xiliang clothes, waiting at the place he must pass, and showed a strange smile to the star chasing car.

Cang Yu, who was guarding Muci's carriage, couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to drive him away.

Mu Ci said: "Don't waste time on this kind of person."

"It's disgusting like a fly, why don't you slap it to death with one slap." Shi Zhi frowned, his eyes sharp.He hates trouble the most, and the code of conduct he has followed since then is never to reason with anyone. He only needs to destroy the enemy physically, and the world will be clean.

Following Mu Ci, who wants to crush the opponent logically in everything, panicked.

"We can't kill him yet," Mu Ci said.

Le Zhao explained: "He has nothing to worry about. After all, he is also the fifth prince of Xiliang Kingdom, the one our master named to come. Now is the critical period for peace talks in Xiliang. The king of Xiliang is eager for me to get him If you die, you can negotiate terms with us and let us make concessions. It is not worthwhile to make the country suffer for this person."

Mu Ci nodded, and said to Le Zhao: "Send ten good men there first, just say that the world is not peaceful now, in order to protect the safety of the fifth prince, let me watch when he eats and goes to the toilet, don't let him make any more fools." .”

……

Two days after Mu Ci sent people there, Tuoba Yingkuo really made a mess. He stabbed himself with a dagger he got from somewhere in front of the guards, and was sent to the military hospital on the spot rescue.The rogue envoy of the Xiliang Kingdom was sent by the king of Chu to kill him. He really used this as an excuse to play tricks in the peace negotiations and did not want to pay up to 800 million taels of war indemnity.It just entered winter, and the snow had already fallen heavily in the northwest, so there was no way to fight. Fortunately, the Western Expeditionary Army withdrew to the border early.The royal city of Xiliang Kingdom was no longer trapped, the envoys forgot about the pain, and started jumping around again when the scars were not healed.

These two incidents made Tang Yuzhou, who was in charge of negotiating with other countries, depressed to death, because the amount of war indemnity was set by Mu Ci, so he went to Mu Ci early in the morning to ask for advice.

Because the weather was too cold, Mu Ci took Mou Yu who was in a coma to live in Bilan Palace, where it was much warmer in the hot spring.Princess Chaoyang also came to take care of Mou Yu, and Mei Rong brought all her official duties into Bilan Palace because she was worried about Mu Ci.

Tang Yuzhou just caught up and had a morning soup.

Mu Ci was straightforward, and replied: "This matter is simple. If there is no agreement this winter, then our two countries will still be at war. As soon as the spring begins, I will send people to Wangcheng again, and ask the Xiliang king what is it?" What do you mean? Do you have the sincerity to seek peace? At that time, 800 million taels of silver will not be able to solve it, and two troops will cost 600 million taels of silver."

Tang Yuzhou smiled: "It's refreshing to answer this way, but the Xiliang Kingdom really can't show it!"

Mu Ci said very considerately: "Learn from Gaofan, you can pay in installments and pay it off in ten years. If the peace treaty between the two countries is signed, and the Xiliang Kingdom pays the annual tribute in installments for another 11 years, I can also agree to reopen border trade with them. Become a country of nephew and uncle, good neighborly and friendly forever. How to calculate the amount to be paid each year, interest is inevitable... Xinghai will send people to do the accounting. If it is not clear for 20 years, it can be extended to 30 years, 50 years Years are fine, and one day it will be paid off.”

Mei Rong, who was lying beside Mu Ci soaking in the water, acted as a godly assist, squinted her blue eyes, lazily made a sharp stab, and went straight to the heart: "Xiliang is different from Gaofan, and it doesn't have a high reputation for our country. Moreover, the amount of money is too large, and the year to repay the money is too long. If he is unwilling to repay it in one year, it will be troublesome after all. Otherwise, let Xiliang Kingdom directly borrow from Daxing Bank in the name of the country, and use Xiliang Kingdom Valuation of the land is mortgaged. When Xiliang doesn’t pay any money, we will auction the land to repay the borrowed money.”

Mu Ci smiled and put her arms around Mei Rong's neck, kissed him and praised him: "This is a good idea, I'll do it as you like. Let someone inform the King of Mausoleum that a discount can be given for the early interest, and the service should be more considerate. Try to negotiate this business." come down."

Tang Yuzhou: "..."

Tang Yuzhou, who was fed dog food all over his face, felt puzzled - the Daxing bank is also Daxing, and the left pocket is moved to the right pocket. What's the difference?

Mei Rong knew Tang Yuzhou's doubts just by looking at Tang Yuzhou's appearance. He is a professional in business, so he explained: "This way, we can achieve multiple results. First of all, the silver bank printed a large amount of precious money, and just took the opportunity to say that it was war indemnity. Entering the market is completely costless business, but because the national reputation of Xiliang Kingdom pays the bill, a piece of paper has value. Second, the bank has injected a large amount of money into the Daxing court, which is equivalent to Daxing using Xiliang in advance. In the next few decades, the national power will develop and strengthen itself, and Xiliang will be burdened with huge debts, and every day it opens its eyes to pay back the money... There will be no spare power for development, and the benefits will be endless. The third If we are lucky enough to rob other countries of their land...Of course we have the ability, but there are always people who say something about the demeanor of a big country. If we let Xiliang take the initiative to mortgage in the name of the bank, if Xiliang does not pay back the money in the future, the bank will be taken back. The mortgaged land is justifiable and beyond reproach. If Xiliang wants to return the land, he can buy it with money. Fourth, if Xiliang cheats and refuses to give money or cede the land, the bank can ask the state to send troops to protect private property. Besides, great luck The silver number is the private property of the royal family, and should be protected even more. As for the military expenses for sending troops, of course, Xiliang, the defeated country that provoked the border wars, should bear it, which is another huge windfall."

Tang Yuzhou: "..."

You are awesome!

Tang Yuzhou felt that ever since Mu Ci had Mei Rong as a big killer, the level of ferocity had skyrocketed!But Tang Yuzhou was in a good mood, anyway, it wasn't him who was going to cry, the Xiliang Kingdom was purely shooting himself in the foot.

So after soaking in the hot spring, he happily went back to reply to the envoy of Xiliang Kingdom.

The author has something to say: Why do you say "First of all, the silver bank printed a large amount of precious banknotes, which just took the opportunity to say that they were war indemnities, and entered the market on a large scale. Paper has value too."

It was because this piece of paper was war indemnity, and the Xiliang Kingdom could not produce silver and copper, so it gave precious money.To put it another way, the treasure notes are equivalent to the IOUs of the Xiliang Kingdom. As we all know, although the IOUs are a bit risky, they are also valuable.With the strong guarantee of great fortune, Xiliang Kingdom must pay back the money, and the people will feel that the value of the IOU (treasure banknote) is more solid, and it is hard currency.
