Chu Xiang explained to her: "Your Majesty, the imperial court implemented the Slave Act last year, and there is a clause in it that if the tax cannot be paid on time, the children in the house can be used as official slaves to offset the tax. Once this order comes out, With the heavy taxation, many ordinary people could not escape the fate of becoming slaves. They were dragged to build luxury houses for the government, or became official prostitutes. Therefore, the minister first selected the main personnel to implement this policy and an executive tax officer .”

"Yes." Bai Mo said, "The two newcomers who came to my place last year, that's how they came."

Lan Jue nodded coldly, but he said, "You didn't even let the youngest son go, isn't it a little too much?"

But Bai Mo shook his head and said: "Master, kill them all, and leave the youngest son who witnessed the tragedy, but it will make them more painful. The slave family wished that they died when they ransacked the house back then... This is not Mr. Chu's arrangement, it is the slave family's own decision. The master only said that killing the courtiers is to build momentum for you in the future, but my assassins were temporarily dazzled by revenge...Mr. Chu also blamed us afterwards, and the servants also knew that we were wrong. So cold."

Xie Zhiwei quietly reminded: "Well...he's not that angry anymore."

But Lan Jue said: "That's not necessarily the case. Those who call themselves righteous are actually more cold-blooded than you. They are just driven by anger and have no righteousness at all."

Chu Xiang: "After today, the word Tianxia Wudao has been spread, and when the time is right in the future, the banner of the king's righteousness of the world can be raised in a legitimate way."

At this time, Mo Shuchong suddenly said in a low voice: "The lord needs to be careful, and future affairs can be calculated in the future, but whether the lord can leave Tianyan is still a question."

Lan Jue said: "How do you say that?"

After pretending to be a woman for too long, Mo Shuchong's voice was a little erratic and thin, and he still whispered: "I have been contacted by an informant, and the Xingxing Pavilion has already moved their minds on you, and recently there are assassins who tried to buy us to assassinate you." The person, the informant said, should be the star official of the Zodiac Pavilion."

Zingxing Pavilion, the opposite of him in the court is also Zingxing Pavilion. Chu Xiang heard Lan Jue's story about what happened in Chaoshang, and he said to Mo Shuchong: "You can try to get in touch. I don't know why the Xingxing Pavilion suddenly bit me. us."

Mo Shuchong said: "It is said that Qu Lingxin, the master of the pavilion, is very good at deducing the secrets of heaven."

Bai Mo: "I thought it was a rhetoric used by charlatans to please the emperor!"

Mo Shuchong shook his head gloomily: "No, Qu Lingxin was born in a family of astrology masters, and he is proficient in astrology and mathematics. In fact, he is about the same age as the current emperor, probably in his 60s."

He paused, and said in a blunt tone: "My lord, I have news that the remains of the old lord of the Western Tang Dynasty were secretly transported to the imperial capital by the Xingxing Pavilion."

Lan Jue was shocked: "What did you say? My father's remains?"

"Yes, Qu Lingxin sent people to the place where the old lord was buried. The old lord died in exile. Because the Lan family's crimes have not been pardoned, he can't return to his hometown and can only be buried on the spot. All these years you I tried to retrieve my father's remains, but because of the harsh conditions back then, there were no tombs in the burial ground, so I couldn't find them long ago."

"Yes, when I was young, I couldn't do more. So you mean, Qu Lingxin found my father's remains, and then...but why did he secretly transport them to the capital?"

Chu Xiang said: "He will target you, and he will target your... parental ethics, this is... I guess, he doesn't believe your disguise, and wants to test whether you are really just an uneducated reckless man .”

Whenever talking about her father's generation, the chill on Lan Jue's body almost becomes substantive, and the cold murderous intent permeates the whole room.

When Chu Xiang was worried about whether he would turn his face directly, Lan Jue still said calmly: "For the time being, just wait and see."

……

In the dead of night, according to the plan, the assassins will not act tonight, so Chu Xiang climbed into bed early to get ready to rest.

In ancient times, there was really nothing to do, the pace of life was horribly slow, and they were still in the dormant stage, slowly accumulating strength, and it was uncomfortable to pretend to be low-key every day.

But now with Xie Zhiwei, Chu Xiang always has a little more entertainment.

"Zhiwei, do you have novels and movies there, please share."

"Yes, but I don't have a holographic projection module, so there are movies, but you don't have an audio-visual feast to enjoy." Xie Zhiwei in the communication channel replied, "And novels... are all Jinjiang Chunaiwen you once despised very much. Look..."

Chu Xiang: "..."

After a while, the snarky AI took the initiative to contact: "Ah, your lord is taking a bath."

"...Zhiwei, how boring are you to spy on other people taking a bath?"

"But he's in good shape, with eight-pack abs and mermaid lines!"

Chu Xiang: "Excuse me, do you have a camera function..."

Xie Zhiwei replied quite complacently: "No, so now I can only appreciate it, Captain, I know you want to see beauties again. To be honest, your appearance in this world is also very good-looking. You can look in the mirror."

It is true that Chu Xiang in this world is not the same as Chu Xiang as the captain. The similarity can reach [-]%, but the difference is already very big. Looking in the mirror, you can indeed appreciate it as a strange beauty for a while.

Chu Xiang refused righteously: "I have many problems, but I have never been narcissistic."

After a while, Xie Zhiwei said in the channel: "Captain, take a look in the mirror, you have to remember, you are not in the starry sky now, you are in a... feudal and backward ancient times."

"so what?"

"In my database, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is always a truth to be with the emperor like a tiger. Moreover, Conglong's work does not have such a good ending. After a few years of conquering the country, the veterans who founded the country will be cleaned up ...I...I'm very worried, just like today, your lord got really angry for no reason, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to see it, and even I don't know why he is angry, I can only Scan his body hormone levels to judge emotions, I am not a real weapon, I can’t read minds, that’s unscientific! According to statistical probability calculations, the probability of you dying well is only 0.82%.”

Chu Xiang was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think self-explosion in the starry sky is a good death?"

"...I can't answer that question."

"I think it counts, because I have done what I want to do, and I seek benevolence." Chu Xiang said, "So, no matter what the outcome of me in this life is, I will do what I want to do." .”

"Okay Captain." Xie Zhiwei said, "As you wish, I will follow your orders."

"That's good, think of a way to take two nude photos of Lan Jue for me to see?"

"……captain."

Chu Xiang: "Huh?"

Xie Zhiwei: "Get lost, you pervert."

Chu Xiang didn't see Lan Jue's abdominal muscles. Although he regretted it, he saw Lan Jue's picture of... getting out of the bath.Because Xie Zhiwei helped him win some benefits after all, and told the exact time.

Chu Xiang knocked on the door of Lan Jue's room. Lan Jue was only wearing a middle coat, and her long hair was still dripping.

"Your Majesty, the subject is being abrupt."

Chu Xiang saluted while talking, without any intention of turning around and leaving, so Lan Jue raised her eyebrows and put him sideways into the room.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with Mo Niang, but the next goal is still under discussion." Chu Xiang said, "The iron guard's action was much bigger than we expected. It seems that the emperor doesn't care about the government, but really We are very afraid that the country will change hands. Maybe we don’t need to do anything directly against Dahongyu. As long as we continue to create this kind of atmosphere of "the world is innocent", the heroes rise up, and the emperor's killers are rampant, the emperor will naturally pay more attention to disaster relief and appease the people Heart, in this way, there will be more money and food that will not be embezzled when it arrives in the country.”

In the year of Qin Yu, Lan Jue's heart moved slightly, that Da Honglu who refused to help Xi Tang survive the disaster year, was fattened by himself.

He said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the current situation in the country is?"

Lan Jue: "My dark thread reported to me that in order to get Uncle Wang to cooperate, Dongtang temporarily provided some relief food and grass to me. , neither dared to disobey Uncle Wang, nor did he dare to make a real move, so we were in a stalemate for the time being."

But he couldn't help but said: "These things can be discussed tomorrow morning. If you stay up so late, your body will die? Are you healed from your injuries?"

Chu Xiang was taken aback, and replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm going to sleep now."

He exited the room, couldn't help admiring Lan Jue again, and bent his lips habitually: "Good night!"

The door was closed, and the night was like water, but Lan Jue couldn't fall asleep smoothly for a long time.

……

It's already summer, and it's the end of the "Flower Dynasty Spring Banquet". The assassination incident not only did not restrain the nobles' banquet, but made it more extravagant. The nobles felt that it was a disappointment, so they simply brought the singers and dancers home to add to the fun.

The host tonight is Da Honglu Qin Yunian. Only when the status of Da Honghe is so respected can it be possible for the oiran ladies of various brothels to put down their airs and willingly come to the mansion to help the fun. Let's get sour—now in Yancheng, the value of the oiran is higher than that of the noble lady, how can it make people feel at ease.

They chatted coldly about Zhang Tingwei's daughter——

"I didn't look down on the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty before, but now it's good. Once Zhang Tingwei dies, the girl will have to live on the streets..."

"There is no backbone in the family, and I heard that I have become an oiran lady!"

In the hall, there were singing, dancing and feasting, and occasionally literati recited poems against each other. A dancer from Jingshan Court is dancing in the center of the venue. This is a dancer from a foreign land. Her skin is dark black, but her long hair is light white and golden. , dotted with golden bells all over her body, making crisp bells with her enchanting and graceful dance steps.

Qin Yunian drunkenly picked up his wine glass and laughed loudly.

"This is an alien dancer from the south, a newcomer to Jingshan Court!"

A well-informed guest couldn’t help admiring: “I heard that the people in the plains in the southern region look very different from ordinary people. We have white skin and black hair, and they have black skin and white hair. Eye-opening!"

"Southern border, over there... Speaking of which, where is the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty?"

"I heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that the real reason why the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty was rejected by Mr. Zhang was... Mr. Zhang found out that the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty is so good at Longyang."

For a while, whispers were whispered at the banquet.

"It's no wonder that I love to attend banquets... Well, it's okay to play for a while, but it's not good to really come."

The ringtone was crisp and melodious, and the dancer had a graceful figure. She waved her arms, the gauze was fluttering, and the long white hair was twirling and flying.

In an instant, a white awn flew out from her hair and shot directly at Da Honglu!

However, before the exclamation of the guests could be heard, the maid beside Da Honglu suddenly jumped up, and a long knife appeared in her hand, which collided with the dancer's hidden weapon. There was a star pattern on the handle of their knife——

"Astrology Pavilion?" The dancer exclaimed in a low voice, his voice was low and hoarse, although it was softer than a man's voice, it definitely didn't look like a woman.

The female guards of the Zodiac Pavilion shouted: "There are assassins!"

The body of the exotic dancer made a strange rattling sound, and the bone shrinking skill would affect the flexibility of the body. In the blink of an eye, the dancer's body elongated and turned into a vigorous man.

For some reason, the assassin from Li Wei Court did not follow the agreement.

The string of bells in Mo Shuchong's hand was thrown out like a whip by him, and it pierced through the air with a bang. A scribe couldn't dodge in time, and the silk thread cut his throat instantly, and blood rose more than three feet high.

"Protect the Great Honglu!"

Mo Shu shouted: "Dog officer, go to hell!"
