As the saying goes, if something is good above, it will be effective below.
Yanjiu brought two stools and invited the two superior officers to sit down and watch the execution. He also brought out a small red clay stove and a wooden tray from somewhere, which contained a complete set of utensils for drinking tea.
Zhang Jia checked the distance and moved the pile of things farther away to prevent the prisoner's blood and broken meat from contaminating a jar of good tea.
While making tea, Yun Chu asked, "Why didn't the armor and crossbows be found in Master Li's house?"
Zhang Jia took a bite of the biscuit and said: "Three months ago, Master Li's house has purchased a lot of iron materials and animal sinews. Based on the quantity, it can be used to make at least thirty armors and fifty crossbows.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if a private person makes three pieces of armor, he will be punished by hanging, and if he makes more than five pieces of crossbows, he will also be punished by hanging.
If we find enough armor and crossbows from Master Li's house this time, we in Wannian County will have accomplished a great feat."
Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said, "I received the credit the day before, but the whole family was gone in the evening. Do you still want such credit?"
Zhang Jia looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said: "Is it so serious? If so, why did the county magistrate order the Danyang County Duke's house to be burned down?"
Yun Chu looked at the strong man with a rag stuffed in his mouth and his flesh and blood flying everywhere after being beaten by Yan Jiu with a whip, and said: "I can't suppress my curiosity. By the way, did you do things properly? Don't be fooled.
It was found out that the second wave of fire at Yanmen County’s residence was set off by us.”
Zhang Jia shook his head and said: "The head of Wu Houpu set off a hidden fire when he was inspecting the house. It was only ignited a day later. No one can find out."
Yun Chu nodded. In the past few years, Zhang Jia has really been trained and he can be of great use.
After the two drank tea twice, Yan Jiu happened to go through his own execution process. The strong man also hung his body weakly on the wooden frame, and he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
Yan Jiu lifted up the strong man's head, held a piece of paper and asked according to the above requirements: "Who are you?
"Zhao Hanqin, Zhao Liu."
"According to history?"
Yun Chu frowned, and Zhang Jia immediately walked over and pulled open the strong man's eyelids and said, "Since it's such a name, it's obvious that someone is literate. What are those three characters?"
The strong man was indeed literate, and he quickly said his correct name.
"Whose person do you belong to?" Yan Jiu continued to ask according to the question on the paper.
Unexpectedly, this strong man actually struggled hard and kept saying: "If I don't say it, if I don't say it, I will die, and you will die too."
Yan Jiu said coldly: "If you don't tell me, I will put you in a dilemma between life and death."
The strong man stopped struggling, opened his eyes and looked at Yun Chu in the distance: "Yun County Cheng, do you really want me to say it?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Tell me, I won't lie to you. You can't get out alive. After telling you, I will give you a jar of wine. After drinking it, you will feel more comfortable."
The strong man laughed miserably and said, "Come here, I will listen to you alone."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "It's not worth losing one of my ears. Just tell me, I'll listen."
The strong man looked at Yun Chu desperately, gritted his teeth and said, "I am the palace guard Zhao Hanqin. Are you satisfied now?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "What are you doing at Master Li's house?"
Zhao Hanqin smiled strangely and said: "Of course I'm supervising Master Li. Isn't that the reason? What's the reason?"
Yun Chu said to Yan Jiu: "Your method is not working. This man is still telling lies. Keep going. I really want to hear him tell some truth today."
Yan Jiu poured a mouthful of concentrated salt water into his mouth and sprayed it on Zhao Hanqin's scarred body.
Zhao Hanqin's originally limp body suddenly straightened up, and he jumped vigorously for a while. As soon as his body seemed to soften, Yan Jiu sprayed it with a mouthful of concentrated salt water...
Yun Chu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and walked out of the cell. He said to Zhang Jia who was following him: "Forget about this."
Zhang Jia smiled and said: "I didn't know. In two hours, there will be no Zhao Hanqin in the world.
Yanjiu will wipe out all traces of him in the world, including the prostitute who is responsible for liaison with the door open."
When he came out of the Yamen, Yun Chu was really not in a good mood.
He had tried his best to overestimate Wu Mei, but unexpectedly he still underestimated her.
If Zhao Hanqin hadn't taken the initiative this time, probably not many people would have known until now that Wu Mei actually controlled such a huge force in her hands.
It has actually reached the point of monitoring courtiers.
This move was very sinister. At this moment, Yun Chu was already considering whether there was anyone sent by Wu Mei to come in.
Yun Chu hoped not, hoping that he, a small sixth-rank official, had not officially entered Wu Mei's eyes.
People should not be suspicious. Once they become suspicious, everything others do will be suspicious, and no one can be trusted from now on.
Yun Chu even suspected that this was Wu Mei's way of destroying people's hearts.
If it is true, it proves that Chang'an today is a ghost land.
After returning home, Yun Chu looked at Naha and said, "Are you a spy sent by Wu Mei?"
Naha nodded fiercely and asked Yunchu what were the benefits of being a spy.
Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong again and said, "If it's not Naha, then it must be you. It's very suspicious to ask questions all day long."
Yu Xiurong stroked her belly and said, "In this case, I am a very dedicated spy. I am pregnant with your child as a hostage."
Yun Chu finally looked at the old monkey and said, "What do you think we should do? Wu Mei just puts spies into other people's homes when she has nothing to do. Now I think everyone looks like a spy. Do you think our family can still accept people in the future?"
The old monkey smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I can at least guarantee that there is no spy in this family."
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "How did you know?"
The old monkey put a piece of licorice in his mouth and said: "How do I know? You are really stupid in asking. Buddha will naturally check them one by one."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "It's okay if it doesn't happen. That's okay. That's okay. If a spy suddenly appears in the house, will we be able to live a life of suspicion all day long?"
The old monkey frowned and said, "If a spy really appears in your family, how would you deal with it?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "How to deal with it, of course, is to reduce the population. If there are still problems after the reduction, in the end only Naha, Xiu Rong and the children will be left at home. Xiu Rong will cook for us every day, I will go out to make money, and Naha will study.
Isn't it just to live the life of a small family again? It's not like I haven't lived it before."
The old monkey smiled and said: "I'm relieved if you have the heart to burn the cauldron. However, you don't have to pay too much attention to the people in Wu Mei's hands, because there are only so many people, and most of them are monks. Didn't you see it with your own eyes back then?"
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "You mean the assassination I encountered in Guangfufang?"
The old monkey nodded and said, "That's the group of people."
Yun Chu couldn't help laughing, and said to the old monkey: "Those people are very unprofessional, and they are not even qualified assassins.
If I had had the will, I could have killed them all in a very short time."
The old monkey curled his lips and said: "The only advantage of these people is that they are not afraid of death. You don't know how difficult it is to deal with people who are not afraid of death."
Yunchu felt that what the old monkey said was very reasonable. Calculating the time, Wu Mei came out of the temple at about the same time as he arrived in Chang'an.
Even if Wu Mei is more powerful, she has been setting it up since the moment she came out. It has only been a few years since she came out, and she can't come up with anything big.
Just like he had been seeking an official position from the very beginning, but only now could he get a sixth-grade Wannian county magistrate, and what Wu Mei wanted to do was more difficult than seeking an official position himself.
Since everyone is evolving from novices to experienced players, Yun Chu is still confident that he will not lose to Wu Mei.
After getting reassurance from the old monkey, when Yun Chu looked at the rest of the family, things were indeed different. The behaviors that he had previously considered suspicious now became reasonable.
However, Liu Yi is excepted.
Ever since he became a retainer of the Yun family, this old bastard has become domineering and self-conscious of being superior to others. On weekdays, the neighbors greet him with his nostrils. Even when the neighbors invite guests, he will sit at a table unless he is on top.
Now that Shangyuanhui has ended, Yunchu decided to let him take some people from Jinchangfang to Bashang to reclaim wasteland.
After the dispute with Lantian County was resolved, and after further research by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the land in Bashang was finally given to Wannian County.
It may be that when the Ministry of Revenue checked Yunchu's salary expenditure, he discovered the cruel fact that his official land, koufentian, and yongye land were all in the Qinling Mountains, and then transferred his official land out of the Qinling Mountains.
However, what was given was still wasteland in Bashang, and the Ministry of Revenue officials also said that if Yunchu agreed, they could measure the width inward when measuring the fields to make up for it.
The Ministry of Finance did something very magnanimous this time, not only giving away Yunchu's fields, but also Yu Xiurong's fields. However, Naha's fields were illegal before and were gone.
Liu Yi happily served the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and had a big meal and drink in the big canteen. Finally, he wanted to stuff some money in the hope that he could spread the land to a wider place. As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs had finished their meal.
He took away the money and didn't say a word about giving more land.
Even Yunchu was envious of such a fat girl whose crotch was stained by even her farts.
People have long thought that officials are fat and oily, how can someone like Liu Yi take advantage of him?
Since the land was allocated to Bashang, the Yun family should build a village there. After all, Yun Chugen Yu Xiurong's various fields were divided into nearly 800 acres.
Yunchu planned to plant all the cotton.
By then the mountains and fields will be covered with pure white cotton. Presumably, those lying in the cemeteries all over the mountains and fields will not have any objections.
