The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 345

Beijing.

When the news about the smallpox being resolved in Chang'an City spread to the capital, everyone was stunned.

In their impression, smallpox was a disease that they were helpless, and it was impossible to cure it, but because of the willow smell, smallpox was cured, which is incredible.

But this is a fact, the smallpox in Chang'an City really didn't spread.

Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao's wish was in vain, so he put all his energy on accumulating strength to win over officials.

And he obviously did very successfully, because of his status as a supervisor of the country, many officials from other places are still willing to take refuge in him. In order to strengthen himself, King Wu Zhao Dezhao doesn't particularly care about the character and political achievements of those officials, as long as they are willing to be loyal I will accept it myself, and I want the Ministry of Officials to promote as many of these people as possible.

When Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao acted recklessly, there were already complaints in the court.

But at the beginning, it was just a secret complaint, but when some officials revealed the character and achievements of those promoted officials, the officials in the court were dumbfounded.

Some officials haven't solved a single case in three years, and haven't done anything for the common people in two years, but such officials are promoted. What kind of thing is this?
The officials of the DPRK and China couldn't stand it anymore, and neither could Shen Yilun and Xue Juzheng.

They expressed their opposition, and they demanded strict examination of political achievements. King Wu Zhao Dezhao wanted to insist on his promotion, but the strength of the ministers in the court should not be underestimated.

The incident suddenly became out of control, and at this time, news about the situation in North Korea and China spread to Chang'an City.

When the news reached Chang'an City, Su Tongkan from the Kaifeng Mansion showed a slight smile. In fact, many of those who stood up and shouted were their people, and those political achievements were naturally collected by their people.

But nothing adulterated.

What Su Tingjian wanted to do was to make all the ministers feel that Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao was not intelligent enough, and when the news reached Chang'an, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely be disappointed with his son.

This is what Su Tongkan wanted.

As long as Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao made a mistake, he would chase after him and hit him so hard that he was powerless to fight back.

When the news reached Chang'an City, Zhao Kuangyin was still resting in the palace. He originally wanted to find Zhao Jingniang in Chang'an City, but what he didn't expect was that so many things had happened here since he came to Chang'an City. He wanted to be quiet for a while. cannot.

In the past few days, the smallpox in Chang'an City had just been solved, and news came from the capital. After reading it, he was furious. He felt that his son was so stupid, how could he not care about anything in order to accumulate strength for himself? Everyone wants it?
An official with bad character and no ability, what do you want him to do?This kind of person succeeds more than fails.

After throwing the letter on the ground, Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, and then ordered: "I pass on my word of mouth that this year's evaluation of the achievements of officials from other places must be strictly investigated. Anyone who wants to take advantage of opportunities will be deprived of his qualifications for Jinshi."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't mean to blame his son, but after his order was passed on, he believed that his son would understand what he meant, and that was to ask him not to interfere in the performance appraisal.

And those officials who want to seek refuge with the prince must also be more cautious. If anyone wants to form a clique, they will only be demoted to the common people.

After all this, Zhao Kuangyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought, if his son was smarter and would come back, he wouldn't have to wipe his ass every time.

Chang'an City.

Zhuge Pi quickly found out what Liu Wei wanted to know.

"My lord, we found some friends who were with Yang Wenjing. They also got smallpox, but some survived. When asked by subordinates, they answered honestly. They said that one day in Linglong Tower, Yang Wen gave Li Dao He came up with an idea, saying that when the adults checked the files, they would definitely discover the suspicious points of Duan Yuerong's murder, and as long as the adults investigated the matter, they would definitely make mistakes. At that time, he could also use this to attack the adults for their incompetence , but he died of smallpox before he could attack your lord, what a reward."

Zhugepi didn't like Yang Wen at all, so he didn't forget to scold Yang Wen at the end, but Liu Wei frowned after hearing it. Why did Yang Wen say that if he investigates, he will be able to investigate mistakes?
Is it because Duan Yuerong is really the murderer, but I want to reverse the case for him?

Is it because Duan Yuerong concealed her assassination of Duan Shi, so Yang Wen was sure that he would reverse the case for Duan Yuerong?And after he really overturned Duan Yuerong's case, he brought this up, saying that he saw Duan Yurong assassinate Duan Shi with his own eyes?
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth. He felt that Yang Wen underestimated himself too much. He didn't need to hear about the real cause of Duan Shi's death. He only needed to examine the bones. In many cases, the words of the dead are more convincing than the words of the living.

"What else did you investigate?"

"We found out that before Duan Shi was killed, he had been to Linglong Building, where he had a friend named Cui Cui, but we went to find that Cui Cui, and the old bustard of Linglong Building said that Cui Cui was killed by a wealthy businessman at the end of last year. She was redeemed, but the bustard didn't know the rich businessman, and she didn't know where the rich businessman had gone, presumably, that Cui Cui found a way to escape after seeing Duan Shi leave."

After Zhugepi finished speaking, Liu Wei nodded. He felt that what Zhugepi said made sense. That Cui Cui might be the one who poisoned Duan Shi to death. Otherwise, why did she leave Linglong Building at that time? After Cui Cui left, she wanted to It's not easy to find her, is it?

"Do you have the portraits of the rich businessman and Cuicui?"

"Yes!" As he said, Zhuge Pi showed the portraits of the two people to Liu Wei. Liu Wei took a look and found that the rich businessman had a fat head and big ears, and his appearance was very ugly. It is easy to identify, but Cui Cui has delicate features, and gives people a sense of knowledge and understanding. Presumably Duan Shi likes her precisely because of the scholarly scent on her body.

"Send people to look for these two people, no matter what, we must find them." Speaking of this, Liu Wei said again: "Send people to investigate and see who has entered Jinghe Academy since Duan Shi's death. "

"Your Excellency, do you want to?"

"I have a vague feeling that Duan Shi was poisoned and killed by someone."

Zhugepi didn't notice anything from it, but Liu Wei asked him to investigate, so he just went to investigate.

Chang'an, Baifu.

After the smallpox in Chang'an City was resolved, Bai Guan led people to sneak into Chang'an quietly. They left silently and returned silently.

But at this time, Baiguan was angry, he smashed everything in the house.

Originally they wanted the Li family and the Wu family to mess up Chang'an City, but they never thought that because of Liu Wei's existence, not only did the Li family and Wu family not mess up Chang'an City, they were also hit by Liu Wei without any power to fight back .

Then Li Kai and Wu San were foolish enough to accuse them of all the crimes.

What annoyed him the most was that he thought that the appearance of smallpox in Chang'an City would definitely be beneficial to them, but now it seems that all their plans were defeated by smallpox.

If it wasn't for smallpox, how could the Li family and the Wu family lose?
Angry, he was so angry.

"Damn, hateful Liu Wei." Bai Guan glared at Hei Diu after speaking, and said, "What should I do?"

Heidiu shrugged: "Our assassination was unsuccessful, but the imperial court did not investigate us. This is a blessing among misfortunes for us, but there is one thing that may make all our efforts in vain. .”

"What's the matter?" After Bai Guan left Chang'an City, he was a little bit closed to the news about Chang'an City.

"Liu Wei is investigating the cause of Duan Shi's death."

"What?" Bai Guan, who was still angry, suddenly raised his voice, and his voice was full of panic.

Heidu nodded, "That's right, he is investigating this matter, and he has already found out that Duan Yuerong was not the real culprit who killed Duan Shi. Now he is looking for Cui Cui and Hong Gu who helped Cui Cui redeem her."

After listening to Hei Shao's words, Bai Guan quickly calmed down, and said, "Then Hong Gu and Cui Cui were all taken care of by you, right?"

"It's all resolved, and the corpse is handled seamlessly. You can rest assured about that."

"That's good. As long as the two of them are killed, no matter how powerful Liu Wei is, he won't be able to find any clues."

Heidiu is obviously not as confident as Baiguan.

"But he extended his tentacles to Jinghe Academy. I was worried that Gu Yu would lose to Liu Wei. Gu Yu even sent me a message recently, saying that Liu Wei went to Jinghe Academy to examine Duan Shi's bones that day. They didn't say anything, but Gu Yu felt that Liu Wei must have found something from Duan Shi's bones."

Hearing Heidu's words, Bai Guan frowned slightly: "What, Liu Wei went to Jinghe Academy for an autopsy?" At this time, Bai Guan was really anxious, and he didn't care about getting angry just now, just kept in the house walking around.

"No, something is wrong..."

Seeing Baiguan like this, Heidiu said, "So we have to do something, or we can do him before the flavor of Liu is clear?"

Baiguan stopped suddenly. He looked at Heidu, and shook his head after a long time: "No, there are so many masters around Liu Wei. We can't kill him but lead us out. I think we should start from the academy and do a good job." Prepare with both hands, and sacrifice Gu Yu when necessary."

"Sacrificing Gu Yu?"

"When necessary, we must absorb him."

After Bai Guan finished speaking, he said again: "By the way, find Zhao Jingniang as soon as possible. If we find her, we will have a magic weapon to deal with Zhao Kuangyin. We only need to kill Zhao Kuangyin at that time, and we can also explain to the dead master. "
