When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 111 County Magistrate Murder Case
Ding Ao discovered a truth when he was the county magistrate: nine out of ten people are destined to be traitors.The cause of the case was just an ordinary case of adultery and murder. The adulterer and the adulterer collaborated to kill the son of the victim. However, the victim was a bit special. He was a child of a noble family and was also a county magistrate. He was a single descendant of the ninth generation.The county magistrate's surname is Gao, but his given name is unnecessary.Without her son, Gao Wuyong's widowed mother was devoured by her clan members.

None of this is the point.This incident happened in Nanshan County, under Zhangzhou Prefecture.Are you familiar with Nanshan County, located in the south-central part of the north?Concubine Yang, her family is from Nanshan County.

Originally, this case had a bad impact, so it was quickly submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for finalization, and the two prisoners were taken to the capital for execution.Because of the outbreak of rebellion.Resistance to the rebels began in various places.

Because Nanshan County was too far south and not on the rebels' marching route, it did not encounter fighting.However, the influence of the rebellion still existed, and the escort was delayed.The Nanshan County magistrate is missing and will not be replaced for a while.County affairs are temporarily handled by the county magistrate.

It just so happened that the county magistrate was the brother of the adulterer, so he let the criminal go without permission.Things took a turn from here. After the adulterer was released, he died, and the county magistrate's wife also disappeared.

Gao Wuyong's mother suspected that the murderer of her son was someone else.The old woman wrote in her complaint that her son and his wife were very loving and would never commit adultery.

When she heard the bad news and cause of death of her son, she couldn't believe that her property had been taken away from her, so she sold her remaining jewelry and ran from her hometown to Nanshan County to seek evidence, bribed the jailer, and met her daughter-in-law.When the daughter-in-law saw her mother-in-law arriving, she cried so hard that she almost fainted, and finally told her mother-in-law that she was wronged.

Everything was operated behind the scenes by the Yang family in Nanshan. They relied on Concubine Yang to gain the favor of the emperor. They were relatives of the emperor and lived in the land of fish and meat.Gao Wuyong's several upward reactions were rejected.However, as time went by, the Yang family became tired of it. In addition, the Eunuch Party and the Hu Party fell successively, and the emperor gradually took power.

If Concubine Yang fell out of favor in front of the emperor because of this incident, the Yang family would lose more than it gained.As a result, there was an adultery and murder case, killing the county magistrate and framing it on them.

The day after the old woman learned the truth, the prisoners were released privately. After that, the two prisoners died and the other disappeared.The old woman was also a fierce woman. In order to redress her son's grievances, when she ran out of money, she walked to Beijing and prepared to file a petition.

She was passing by this place and heard that the imperial envoy was a great master of Qingtian who dared to plead for the people, so she stepped forward to block the road and complain.

Ding Ao read the paper in his hand, and then looked at the old woman kneeling with her back straight in the middle of the road. She was as skinny as a stick, covered in mud, and her clothes were in tatters. I really don't know how she ended up here in the year of famine. of.This kind of appearance and behavior first makes people feel a little sympathetic.

This matter must be reported to the emperor first to see if he knows about it and what is his attitude?A court official was killed, which was tantamount to rebellion, and it was also related to the family of the emperor's favorite concubine.Without actual evidence, he dared not determine the truth.

The most important thing is that if Gao Wuyong really reported the Yang family's affairs to the superiors, the Hu Party would still be in power at that time and would not be able to help the Yang family suppress the matter. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to use this to discredit the emperor?Don't believe everything the old woman said.

Unless the Yang family colludes with the Hu Party.This involves too much.In the last big case caused by false opinions, the Hu Party was basically linked to the rebels. He himself was considered half a Hu Party. If he didn't handle it well, it would be another big case.The emperor finally let the family go. If there is another conflict over this, it will only hurt the relatives and make the enemies happy.

Now that the war is in chaos, it is very difficult to go to Nanshan County to investigate and examine the case, so he should first place the old woman with him and not let her go to Beijing to make remarks, otherwise, her life may be in danger.There is no shortage of lackeys in the officialdom who are willing to flatter themselves and consciously wipe out the stains of the powerful.That night, Ding Ao wrote the memorial and sent it to the emperor, waiting for a reply.He wrote very tactfully, and the emperor should be able to understand what he meant.Whether the emperor knows it or not, this matter is not easy to handle. It is difficult for him and it is difficult for the emperor.

The last day of the fifth year of Shengtong is commonly known as "New Year's Eve".Li Shun had been busy all night and came to the study room in the morning. On such an eventful occasion, where could he rest?
The secret report from Jinwu Guard said that the nobles gathered in Jiangdu for a meeting. It seemed that they were preparing to gather troops for a decisive battle with the imperial court.Fortunately, his preparations were in place.During this period, thanks to the food and war preparation materials brought by Bai Linxian, he could easily expand his army by [-]. Together with the [-] cavalry transferred from the north, it was enough to fight the nobles in a decisive battle.

The Shenji Manufacturing Office, based on the inspiration he provided, created simplified versions of alchemy cannons and alchemy guns similar to the cannons of the previous life, and they were breech-loaded cannons and muskets.In secular battles, as long as you can kill the enemy, why do you play with all the bells and whistles?

Flowering cannonballs and bullets are made directly without the need for alchemy.Moreover, the easiest-to-make explosive charm is used instead of gunpowder. It can be done with two small wooden boards and yellow paper. The cost is extremely low, it is safer and more powerful than gunpowder, and it combines magic with technology.

Although the alchemist thought the emperor's idea was practical, he lacked imagination. The cannon that released wind, fire, thunder and lightning was cooler than the cannon that fired iron lumps.Who told me that the production of that thing was too slow?One of them can make more than a dozen of the emperor's kind in a day. You can choose any size, and they are all high-quality.

Li Shun expanded the Shenji Battalion to 3 people, [-] artillerymen, and [-] spearmen, preparing to fire thousands of artillery and spears for the nobles in the decisive battle. If not for insufficient resources, Li Shun wanted to directly attack the entire army. The equipment is replaced by thermal weapons, and it is too cheap to use a knife to chop.

Not only the materials that Bai Linxian brought back and originally stored, in order to make these guns and bullets, he used the iron from the state capital that was still under control, except for the reserves for daily use, and other iron-containing things. Come over.

Create peace in the world!
The manufacturing ability of alchemists is really powerful. They don't use ordinary fire to smelt iron. They just throw the iron ore in and they will use their magic power to analyze the iron substance. It is all refined iron, which is fast, efficient and of good quality.

In the study room, Li Shun saw the memorial sent by Ding Ao and opened it with a smile. He did not hire the wrong person. This person was really capable and organized. He was not as wanton as Bai Linxian. He was just a worker. model.

He looked at the memorial and his frown deepened.The county magistrate was killed?And after he takes power?He doesn't know?Now it is no longer certain who concealed the information. That major case killed too many people and covered up too many things.

"This Ding Ao is afraid that I will protect the Yang family and kill people, and he is also afraid that I will doubt the family and put him in jail again. This proves that he is a good person. Who in the ordinary people would care about the life and death of an old woman? He thinks too much. I have overlooked one thing, now that I have a strong army and a strong horse, I can tolerate everything."

Li Shun responded with one sentence: "Find out the truth and bring justice to the deceased."

In this sentence, there is only justice and justice, and everything is based on justice.This country has been sick for too long and it's time to get back to normal.
