Yunchu went home alone, but Li Ji got drunk at Li Zhi's place and was sent back by the emperor in his own carriage.
Yunchu guessed that this might be Li Ji's method to show that he was not wary in front of the emperor and got drunk because he was happy.
After leaving the palace, Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you stay in that palace, everyone's behavior and mood will not correspond very well, and there is no way to be consistent in what they say.
In the next few days, Yunchu went to work in Wannian County on time and got off work on time. He lived a mediocre life just like Liu Rengui.
Because Liu Rengui suddenly disappeared from the world, Yun Chu went to Chang'an County to find him twice, and the person who received him was Sun County Cheng of Chang'an County.
This Sun County Prime Minister was not the Master Sun whom Yun Chu knew. He was also from a well-known family. His father was Sun Fujia, the first number one scholar since the imperial examination began.
He had only been in Chang'an County for three days, and it seemed that Liu Rengui was really sent to study gunpowder by the emperor.
Today is the day when the Anyefang housing project is completely completed and the apartments are handed over. Naturally, Yunchu has no reason to invite Sun County Prime Minister to preside over such a big event as the allocation of apartments, which is a big deal that attracts people's hearts.
So, after drinking a cup of tea, I left in a hurry.
By the time he found Wen Wen, this guy had already killed four people, and the one who did it was Yin Erhu.
"I just did some testing and found four restless ones." Wen Rou threw the document to Yun Chu.
Yunchu took a look at it, then closed the document and said: "This kind of exploratory killing feels like fishing for law enforcement. Sometimes we need to throw out some people to let the people in Dali Temple know. If it's airtight,
, they will be even more scared.”
Wen Wen said: "Three people were thrown out. One entered Dali Temple, one went to the Ministry of Punishment, and one left Chang'an and ran away."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's good. They don't know anything except that they participated in that robbery and murder that looked like an outing.
After going to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, I think their fate will not be any better."
She smiled softly and said: "Under the severe torture, the Dali Temple Punishment Department got nothing. The one who ran away was also captured and killed by Yin Erhu.
At present, it seems that after these people are eliminated, the rest of the people are safe, so you can feel more at ease next time you use it."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I won't use them next time."
Wen Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "These people only use it once and then throw it away, right?"
"Yes, after the money and goods are cleared, what else will they do?"
"Such a waste."
"Don't have this kind of mentality. Datang doesn't have many other things, it just has a lot of people. We have raised these people for two years just for this thunder strike. After it is over, their role will be gone.
When you make plans in the future, remember to arrange it in this way. You only need to control the five of them, Yin Erhu, and ignore the rest."
Wen Wen nodded and said: "The advantage of having more money is shown here. Everyone thinks that they are the target of the master's attention, but they don't know that they are only used once in the eyes of the master.
In this way, you will have some ability to resist temptation."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I came here just to know where Liu Rengui went?"
Wen Wen said: "At the abandoned stone platform next to the grassland of Sinong Temple, I heard that there are three hundred people working day and night to develop gunpowder."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "The human sea tactic will still have some effect. A person's life is only 30,000 days. For things like testing gunpowder, as long as 300 people keep trying and making mistakes, even if they can't come up with the best recipe
, it’s not bad to make ordinary recipes.”
"In fact, people have already seen the effects. My ancestor was invited to the Waste Stone Platform yesterday. The puppet medicine they studied can already explode, but it is far less powerful than the explosion on Xianyang Bridge.
Since the direction is right, they are still working day and night, and I believe it won't be long before they see new results."
Yun Chu thought that Liu Rengui was so obsessed with gunpowder research that he had forgotten such a small thing as the delivery of the house in Anyefang.
Not long after returning to the county government office, Liu Rengui came over. He looked very tired, but in good spirits. He was so thin that only a pair of big eyes were left.
Yunchu smelled the gunpowder smoke on his body and said to Liu Rengui: "It smells different from the fireworks on Xianyang Bridge."
Liu Rengui pushed Yunchu away and said seriously: "Don't make random guesses, this matter shouldn't be something you know."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Look, this is why I don't want to go to the battlefield. The two parties are racking their brains to kill each other.
God knows what kind of murderous weapons will be produced. That day I followed Duke Ying to Xianyang Bridge. After seeing the tragic situation of the Tibetan people, I was really scared. What kind of power can tear people and horses into pieces."
Liu Rengui didn't reveal anything, and pushed Yunchu out, saying as he walked: "Don't think about those who have something but don't have it. Today is a great day for the people of Anyefang. Let's go quickly and don't let them down."
Through such a few words, Yunchu understood that Liu Rengui's research and development work was going very smoothly, and only in this way could he be so excited and unquestionable.
The people in Chang'an County are better at doing things than the people in Wannian County. The main reason is that at this time, Anyefang is already a festive place filled with people and noisy gongs and drums.
There was also a lean old man leading an equally lean sheep, roaring, singing hymns, and doing funny dances.
In the end, a colorful umbrella of all people was inserted behind Liu Rengui. This was a very high honor for officials.
Liu Rengui was also smiling from ear to ear. After all, the mess left by Pei Xingjian was easily solved by him, allowing the people who were originally in despair to escape from death. This is why he received such a huge and super-standard courtesy.
Everyone who got a house invited Liu Rengui to open the door of their house for them as a sign of respect.
So, Yunchu followed Liu Rengui, watching this guy perform alone like a follower.
This kind of scene was actually very familiar to Yun Chu. The only thing missing was the trumpet reporter. However, seeing Wen Wen also standing in the crowd, Yun Chu felt relieved. With this rumored brother here, Liu Rengui's political achievements should be greatly improved by Chang'an.
People were blown away.
This may be the proudest moment in Liu Rengui's life, and it makes him a hundred times happier than giving him money.
Yunchu was actually quite happy. Pei Xingjian had almost demolished half of the house in Anyefang. Now that half was built, the other half looked ugly. If Yunchu was willing, the other half could be built quickly.
This means that the entire real estate in Chang'an City is firmly in Yun Chu's hands. As long as he is willing, it is not difficult to become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty.
However, if you look at the extremely wealthy people who have appeared in history, none of them seem to have had a good end, and none of them have had a good end.
These four words "Incomparable Riches" have already solved all the problems. In the Tang Dynasty, no one except the emperor dared to bear this title.
Therefore, Liu Rengui chose to keep his name or clear his name. The profits from Anyefang that Yun Chu gave him last time were all put into the Chang'an County treasury by Lao Liu.
Yun Chu's current reputation is much better than that of Liu Rengui, an outsider. Since he became the county captain of Wannian County, everything he did has a beginning and an end.
The best choice.
Compared with Chang'an County and Wannian County, where life was very pleasant, life in Dali Temple was extremely miserable.
Xu Mazi, the murderer in the case of the extermination of the Tibetan mission, had already been announced to the world by the leader, and now he needs to be investigated again.
This is basically a headless case. Even if there is a thief, he has no idea where he has gone at this time.
And the Xianyang Bridge murder case fell on them again.
It is said that after Peng Shou, the young minister of Dali Temple, went to the scene to investigate in person, he locked himself in the official residence for a whole day and did not show his head.
He felt that this case was not something that a small official like him could touch. More than three hundred elite Tibetan elites were torn to pieces on the Xianyang Bridge, and it only took a short time for a cup of tea.
If Dali Temple had angered this group of people, Peng Shou felt that if these people wanted to kill the people of Dali Temple, they would hardly even need a cup of tea.
It seemed that Duke Ying had discovered something, but they did not dare to come to ask him. The minister of Dali Temple only mentioned it in the court, but Li Ji stopped him.
Not only did the emperor not help Dali Temple, he also strictly ordered Dali Temple to only investigate the case and not bother the British Duke.
Peng Shou had no choice but to disperse all the available personnel from Dali Temple, refusing to let go of any clues.
After working for half a month, they found nothing except for a criminal who claimed to be involved in the case and voluntarily surrendered.
Arriving at Dali Temple Prison again, Peng Shou stared at the tattered body on the shelf in a daze.
He actually believed what the prisoner said. He knew nothing about the other prisoners. Thinking of the cold face of the Dali Temple Minister, he once again grabbed the prisoner's hair, looked into his dull eyes and said, "
Say, who else are your accomplices?"
The prisoner looked at Peng Shou blankly and said vaguely: "Didn't you say that as long as you surrender yourself, you will forget about it?"
Peng Shou whispered: "As long as you give something useful, I will immediately send you to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment, and I will also give you the reward."
The prisoner rolled his cloudy eyes and said, "They contact me every time. I really don't know."
"How did you contact me?"
"I'm not sure. Sometimes when I'm eating in a restaurant, someone talks to me from behind. By the time I turn around, the person behind me has already left.
Sometimes, when I was sleeping, someone would talk to me outside the window, put down the things they gave me, and then disappear...
Okay, okay, I really only know so much..."
Peng Shou let go of his hand, and the murderer's head drooped again.
Everything has reached a dead end.
Peng Shou walked out of the Dali Temple prison listlessly. When he saw the desolate public house under the old locust tree, he suddenly remembered a name that no one in Dali Temple wanted to mention.
