son-in-law

Chapter 713
There are always those book and newspaper practitioners with malicious intentions who dare to write anything for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

The next day, there were rumors in the teahouses in Luoyang that King Qin Zhao Yu used the foolish prince Zhao Chun to bring assassins to assassinate King Geng.And that assassin was a Mohist disciple from Honghei Temple, with superb martial arts skills, he killed several people in a row.

In order to exaggerate the tense atmosphere, he also said that another earth-shattering swordsmanship might break out in Luoyang City recently.

In the past, the book and newspaper industry had some evil spirits, and the Secretary had to look at the Empress Dowager's face, but not this time, because the Secretary felt that this matter had violated the bottom line, and without the Queen Mother's instructions, he directly transferred the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked all levels of government to start the investigation immediately. Take action to arrest the rumormongers.

But the criminal police went all over the street, but they didn't catch the person who spread the rumors. Instead, they caught several teahouse shopkeepers.The shopkeeper said aggrievedly: It was the tabloids brought by the tea customers, not the books and newspapers ordered by the teahouse.

Although the shopkeeper yelled for grievances, he did not spare them lightly, otherwise how would he explain to the superior?As a result, several teahouses were shut down, and more than a dozen people were arrested and imprisoned.

If this happened not in Luoyang, but in a local area, the final result would be to submit it to Dali Temple for review, and the case would be finalized if the review was correct.But this matter was intervened by the secretary, and he had to submit the paper to the queen mother.

Cao Yuzan looked at the brochures and gave instructions: mediocre officials misgovernment, lazy officials lazy administration, who is the official in Wan'an County?

Afterwards, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the papers approved by the Queen Mother directly to Wan'an County. The county magistrate was so frightened that his spine shuddered, and he personally led the team and mobilized all the government officials and square offices to launch a strict investigation.Anyone who hides printed products will be dealt with strictly. If a rumored manuscript is found, he will be arrested immediately.

The county magistrate was in a hurry to do things, but after several days of investigation, nothing was found, and he didn't dare to arrest people indiscriminately to take the blame.

At this time, Cao Yuzan was lying on the beauty's couch, looking at the idle books, and occasionally glanced at the booklets handed over, suddenly gave instructions, and suddenly threw it aside, and asked the eunuch to send it to Prince Geng's mansion.

"Mother, this time Xiaobao did it neatly, without leaving any traces, even the county magistrate couldn't find it after being exhausted. Hehe." Cao Xiaobao beat his mother's leg, and couldn't help boasting.

Cao Yuzan glanced at him and said nothing.

Seeing that Cao Yuzan was ignoring people, Cao Xiaobao racked his brains to find some exciting topics, and said, "Xiaobao just said, this man has no good things. Madam, tell me, how many women can King Qin raise outside?"

These words really stimulated Cao Yuzan, but it didn't have a good effect. Instead, it made Cao Yuzan angry, and he kicked Cao Xiaobao with his feet.One foot, two feet, three feet.Until Cao Xiaobao stood below.

"Can you die if you don't speak?"

"Hey, Xiaobao said the wrong thing again, and made the empress angry."

Cao Yuzan sat up and stared at Cao Xiaobao coldly: "You are not good because you have a bad mind. I told you to learn more from Li Wantang, but what do you do all day long? I think you lack wisdom, and you can't learn it even if you want to." .”

"But Xiaobao's arithmetic is much faster than Li Wantang's!" Cao Xiaobao said aggrievedly.

Cao Yuzan said patiently: "Wisdom and wisdom are two different things. Wisdom lies in knowledge, and it results in more learning; wisdom lies in deep thinking, and it results in more thinking. Arithmetic is fast and accurate, and you are just a cashier. Live your life. Only those with wisdom can do great things. If you play smart all day long, you will be a little slave in this life."

Cao Xiaobao said stubbornly: "The slave is willing to serve the Queen Mother alone, and he is willing to be this little slave."

Cao Yuzan glared at her, got up and scolded: "Good you little bastard, if I don't beat you to death today, you'll still be smart!"

……

After a bumpy journey, Ouyang Jing finally came to Chang'an.

The ancient city of Chang'an has a great reputation, but when I came here, what I saw was devastated.The tall and dilapidated city walls can still see the traces left by the battle with the barbarians. It seems that the Tang family really has no money to repair them.

An Guogong's assassination caused great repercussions. Afterwards, he strengthened his guard and implemented an iron-fisted policy. Anyone who refused to accept the tax reform would be arrested and executed in the street.

The whole city is under martial law, and there is an atmosphere of terror everywhere.

From time to time, I saw Jinyi people who refused to accept the tax reform being dragged into the street by soldiers and beaten severely.

But even so, some people still refused to accept it, hid money secretly, and were caught by the soldiers.And among those who were beaten, there were many descendants of the Tang family.It's just that they are far away from the group of people in Qinghuafang, or they feel that staying there is controlled by others, so they went to Chang'an Road to seek development.

As a result, the painstaking family property accumulated for more than ten years or even decades is about to be taken back, how can I be willing.

If you don't accept it, keep beating until you are convinced, if you don't accept it, keep beating until you die.If you beat the master to death and beat the young master, it is hard to believe that the whole family will not accept it.

"Oh, there's no one to be dissatisfied. It must be that the soldiers want to extort money, and those people really can't get it back." Looking at the blood stains all over the street, Ouyang Jing also sighed.

Not long after, Ouyang Jing came to the gate of Changle and looked at the dilapidated imperial city.After staring for a while, he continued to move forward, and the carriage drove to the Hanyuan Hall where Duke An was.Report to the gate, walk through Wangxian Gate, and enter the hall.Give the Duke a bow and say hello.

When he came to Chang'an, An Guogong was the emperor here.

Tang Zhen thought that Ouyang Jing was just here to see Xiao Qiao, so he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand to give up his seat.But at this time Ouyang Jing told Tang Zhen what he saw and thought, reminding Tang Zhen that some soldiers acted recklessly, blackmailed and killed people in vain.

Hearing this, Tang Zhen attached great importance to it and sent someone to investigate.Not long after it was confirmed that what Ouyang Jing said was true, the Duke of the State was furious and ordered to kill the perpetrators, and spread the word.

Seeing Ouyang Jing's sharp eyesight, Duke An rewarded him with a badge.

This seems to be an ordinary waist card, and there is no salary to get, but this waist card is of great significance, and it can be said to be unimpeded in Chang'an Road.The waist card has six characters "Chang'an Road Inspector" written on it.

"Little Qiao pays homage to his father."

"Joe, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's just that my shoulder still hurts."

How could the arrow wound heal quickly, at this time Concubine Ouyang's shoulders were wrapped in bandages, her body was feverish, her face was flushed, the girl just said it lightly on purpose.

"Oh, my poor little one, I miss my father so much." While speaking, the father's eyes were hot, but he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that her father's bone injury had not healed, but he was travel-laden, and traveled more than a thousand miles to visit him, Xiao Qiao felt sad, and the father and daughter wept for a while.

"Qiaoer, tell me, what did you tell the Duke after you were injured?"

"Qiaoer told the Duke that he might not survive this time. If he dies, please treat Mrs. Fan and Concubine Fan kindly, and take care of his father for Qiaoer."

"and then?"

"Then……?"

Ouyang Jing sighed and said: "What you said is nonsense, my good boy listens to my father, you should say this..."

Ouyang Jing asked Xiao Qiao to pretend that his illness had worsened, and he was dying soon. Before he died, he told An Guogong that he hoped to be buried in Chang'an, and that the spiritual seat would not enter the Tang family ancestral hall.

An Guogong will definitely ask: Why is this so?

Xiao Qiao said: In Luoyang, there are Concubine Fan and Concubine Fan who take care of the Duke. They are virtuous, so Xiao Qiao can rest assured.But in Chang'an, Xiao Qiao is not at ease if the Duke is not accompanied by his beloved.If you die, you must keep your soul in Chang'an, and if you are a ghost, you must also shield the Duke from arrows.

At this time, I asked the Duke for a letter of divorce, saying: Concubine Fan is a virtuous concubine, and she often educates Xiao Qiao kindly, but Xiao Qiao is stupid and always fails to do well.Anyway, Xiao Qiao is about to die, so she can't be with the Duke, so it's better for the Duke to comfort the concubine with a letter of divorce, and get rid of her heart disease.

……

Cao Yuzan has nothing to do, playing with eunuchs in the palace.Cao Xiaobao was running around, and suddenly stopped to let Cao Yuzan hit him twice.Otherwise, if you keep running without being caught up by the queen mother, then the queen mother will be really angry.

The queen mother, who looks dignified and majestic to outsiders, is actually only 21 years old, and she is still a child in later generations.And it is the time when you are full of energy and love to play and make trouble.But she is now a mother and a widow.

The little emperor, who is only one year old, can't even speak. It can be said that Cao Yuhan is the only master in the imperial city.

Living alone in such a big imperial city is indescribably lonely.

"Go, call me Yudi, I have something important to talk to him about."

"Here!"

Cao Yuzan held a copy of the Ministry of Accounts in her hand, this time she did not intend to give it to Zhao Zhun, but to "have a good chat" with Su Yu.This paper is aimed at the evasion of salt tax in Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road, and it is estimated that there is a gap of 3000 million.Whether this matter is big or small.And it involves Simon and Monteggia.It can be done big, small, or not at all.

But Cao Yuzan likes such excerpts, and she can use them as she pleases.

Not long after King Qin entered the palace, the Empress Dowager yelled: "My brother, are you bullying Ai's family? You just deal with such a big matter hastily?"

Su Yu thought that something important had happened, so he hurried over, looked at the brochure, and really wanted to slap her in the face.

Su Yu said in a bad tone: "Why deal with it hastily?"

Cao Yuzhan knocked on Fengxia: "You know that I usually give Zhao Zhun the booklet you handed over, but when Zhao Zhun is there, everything is handled simply. Don't tell me you don't know! Are you talking to Zhao Zhun?" Am I pretending to be confused?"

Just because of this nonsense, I insisted on listening to Cao Yuhan nagging for half an hour.She seemed to just want to find someone to quarrel with so that she could feel better.

As for what happened in the end, she didn't really care.

She also knew that she wouldn't have to argue with the two powerful people just because of 3000 million yuan.Moreover, this time the tax evasion was done in Yandao, and it was the Meng family and Ximen's family who guarded against it in private, and the two families would suffer losses as a result.It's better to throw this book to Meng Danqing and Ximen Zhensen, and they will find a way to solve it themselves.

……

After leaving the apse, Su Yu threw the tiger helmet into the car, and tugged at the collar in displeasure.

Every time she came out, she had to put on a heavy armor, otherwise the princess would be unhappy, and ended up running to the back hall, just because Sesame Mung Dou had something to do and listened to Cao Yuzan arguing for a long time, it was really annoying to death.

At this time, there was a noise coming from outside the car, and the curtain was lifted to see a man who looked like a blood gourd being carried to the apse on a stretcher.Blood was dripping while walking, the man's body was bloody, the distance was a little far away, his face could not be seen clearly, but he felt a bit like Zhang Mi...
