Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 836 Master (1)
At night, the palace was brightly lit, and there was chaos and noise.

Ahead, a nimble man in black jumped forward, but within two or three breaths, he pulled a certain distance from the chasing Ouchi guards.

The man in black stopped, turned his head provocatively, and made a disdainful gesture towards the crowd, as if laughing at the waste of the guards.

"Catch the assassin!"

The leader of the guards waved his saber, and the silver light flashed, as dazzling as lightning in the night sky.

The man in black shuttled through the path without any panic. He had a clear grasp of the layout of the harem, and he was looking for gaps that were difficult to walk, so that the archers could not catch the opportunity.

The commander was relatively calm, and temporarily adjusted his tactics a few times, but he was no match for the cunning of the man in black. After half an hour of tossing around, he still hadn't caught anyone.

As the group walked further and further away, the Yulin Army was left far behind, and the Ouchi guards who barely kept up couldn't help but feel a chill.

This person only went around in circles in the palace, playing with them, he only did it when he was forced to dodge, and he mostly dodged.

If such a person enters the imperial study room, he might disturb the emperor.

"Don't run, obediently catch him with nothing!"

Looking at it, there is a palace wall in front of them. As long as the men in black use their strength to jump lightly, they will lose the chance to control them.

With so many people being played around, the emperor blamed them, and all of them would be punished.

Obediently get caught?

The man in black rolled his eyes, thinking he is a fool?
Just when the guards thought that the man in black was about to jump out of the palace wall, he turned around, found the target, and ran towards the imperial study.

"Scatter, catch the assassin, or come and see me!"

The commander on duty had never seen such a difficult opponent before, so he sent someone to report to the emperor Wan Qi Yuling first.

At that time, Mo Yan was reading the opinion on the revision of the laws of Dayue submitted by Baozhi County in the imperial study.

This is a huge project. From the promulgation of the law to the transmission of the laws to each city, it will take some time for the parents and officials to understand the law well.

The best way is to take the new law as one of the contents of the Dai Viet Imperial Examination and slowly infiltrate it.

In the future, officials will be trained in the imperial examination, which saves time and effort, and also facilitates the popularization of new laws.

One of them is that the cases raised by the common people cannot be directly finalized, but must be handed over to each prefecture for retrial by the local magistrate.

If it still causes a relatively large controversy, continue to submit it to the superior, and hand it over to the adults of the Ministry of Punishment to study and resolve it.

"Well, lynching must be explicitly prohibited."

Mo Yan flipped through a few pages, transcribed the main points, and underlined them with cinnabar.

In the files submitted by various places, there are thick stacks of lynching cases every year, most of which are persecution of women, immersion in pig cages, and sinking into ponds, which are not uncommon.

There are also some penalties for stealing that are too severe.

When Mo Yan was in Kaoshan Village in Yingchuan, he heard that there were people stealing chickens and dogs in the village. The villagers took a tolerant attitude towards the villagers.

They live in a village, they don't look up and look down, they don't want to make the relationship too rigid, there are honest and responsible people, if they lose something, they think they are unlucky and suffer from being dumb.

However, it is limited to the villagers.

For outsiders, they are not so easy to talk to. They share the same hatred and huddle together, lynching and whipping the thief, which can range from serious injury to death.

The villages in Dayue are usually populated by clansmen, and they clearly distinguish between their own people and outsiders.

The law does not blame the public, and the whole village beats and kills the outside thief, but the county master turns a blind eye, and there is no way to try it.

Baozhi County is an official in Shangqiu, and he hates "the law does not blame the public", and the loopholes in it must be filled.

Wan Qi Yuling sat on the dragon chair and bowed his head to review the memorial.

Since parents and officials from all parts of Dayue were allowed to submit letters, the memorials in the Imperial Study Room have doubled several times, filling the entire table.

Floods in the south, the victims are being resettled and transferred, the south-to-north water diversion project, the tunnel digging project has officially started, asking for money.

The soldiers in Liaocheng and Beidi needed a large amount of military supplies. Luo Feng led part of the Da Yue army, and was confronting Da Wu and Feng Xiang. One side attacked, and the other side defended.

The iron mines in Xiaqiu were controlled by the barbarians. The blacksmiths produced a large number of weapons. Before they could be transported away, all of them were intercepted by Dai Viet in the cave, and they were transported to the border in the next step as a supplement for their own military supplies.

"Lu Zhi's memorial."

Lu Zhi is Mo Yan's eldest uncle. He is currently working in the Southwest, and he is overwhelmed by the floods. At the same time, he has to send someone to quietly investigate the corruption of officials.

Mo Yan rubbed her eyes, shook her stiff waist, and asked curiously, "Uncle wrote a letter, what happened to Southwest?"

She still has to take care of her own family.

In the memorial, Lu Zhi reported the progress of the South-to-North Water Diversion. It also said that there was a conflict between the officials and the people, which eventually led to the mobilization of the city defense army, and dozens of people died.

Under normal circumstances, the common people are in awe of officials, and the cause of this group incident is to sacrifice to the river god.

It is rainy in the southwest, and the rivers often fork. In previous years, when the rainy season came, the common people would go to the river to burn paper and kowtow to the Dragon King, praying for good weather in the coming year.

The Jinsha River swells every year. This year, the embankment burst and the bridge collapsed. The people are in dire straits, and countless people died in the flood.

According to folklore, the new emperor angered the river god and the dragon king, so he rained revenge.

The best way to appease the anger of the river god is to use virgin boys and girls as sacrifices to pray for the forgiveness of the river god.

Boys and girls must have a horoscope of yin on their birth date. Folk gentry, landlords and rich people donate large sums of silver on their own initiative, and those who offer sacrifices will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

"It's unreasonable, it's really stupid!"

Mo Yan was so angry that he slapped the table. Most of the folk customs in Dai Viet are very distinctive, but the ignorance of the people is deeply ingrained and it is difficult to reverse it.

There are heavy rewards, and people who have just lost their fields and houses have a job in mind. Although the yamen is willing to give money and provide meals, the premise is to dig tunnels.

If they can sell the money-losing goods in exchange for a hundred taels of silver, they can completely live in another place.

The horoscope is yin, which is not difficult for the people who are careful. Everyone spends money to find "half immortals" to calculate the time, and make up the horoscope of birth date casually.

In just a few days, the country gentry and landlord received dozens of boys and girls, 99 of whom were gathered together, and immediately started a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river god.

Among the dozens of people, virgins accounted for the majority, which shows how unpopular girls who cannot continue the incense in the family are not welcomed by their parents.

Human life is worthless, worthless, and the numb people are being manipulated, and they even applaud the god of offering sacrifices to the river.

Lu Zhi couldn't bear to see it, he was well versed in the past and the present, not a pedantic person, and he was furious at the spontaneous practices of the people.
