Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

As for the crimes of instructing servants to bully the market, cultivating evil forces to oppress the people, trafficking people and forcing women into prostitution, the list is too numerous to count.”

Zhao Dezhu paused and continued, "According to their confessions, dozens of officials and dignitaries are implicated, forming a massive interest group. Whether or not to touch this group, I hope you will make the decision!"

Song Xuan read through the confession page by page, his face terribly gloomy.

He is a powerful person in this life, but in his previous life he was just an ordinary working citizen. Many times, he would look at things from the perspective of ordinary people.

Maybe it is an insignificant matter in the eyes of the powerful, but for ordinary people, it is an abyss of despair with families broken up and the world falling apart!

“How have you handled this situation before?”

Zhao Dezhu said: "Ye Tian usually reports to the emperor, and the old emperor basically sends it to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple for investigation, and finally listens to the opinions of all officials in the court before making a final judgment."

Song Xuan smiled, his smile a little cold. "Then I guess it's just to catch the little one and make him bigger, to scare the monkeys, and then let it go in the end?"

Zhao Dezhu hummed, "That's about right! The old emperor values ​​the stability of the court and won't discipline too many officials at once."

Song Xuan chuckled, "A new emperor appoints new ministers. Uncle Zhao, times have changed. The Xuanyi Guards' cautious and prudent ways should be changed."

Zhao Dezhu's eyes lit up, "So?"

Song Xuan said in a deep voice: "Anyone involved in the case, no matter who they are, will be arrested first, even princes and nobles are no exception! Arrest them first, interrogate them later. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed first and reported later!"

Zhao Dezhu laughed heartily and said, "Young people are indeed bold. Honestly, I've wanted to clean up this garbage for a long time! By the way, this case could have far-reaching consequences, so you'd better inform the Emperor."

Song Xuan nodded, "I know what I'm doing. Just go ahead and do it boldly. I'll take responsibility if the sky falls!"

In the past, you were my backer, but now, I, Song Xuan, am your backer!

Zhao Dezhu left contentedly. After finishing the business, he was in a very good mood. He even teased Song Xuan before leaving.

"I recently got a batch of high-quality wolfberries from Mingzhou. I'll bring some back for you."

When the door closed again, Yao Yue wrapped her arms around his waist from behind with some admiration, "I never knew my husband had such a strong sense of justice!"

"I should do my job. I can usually do nothing, but there are some things that need to be done by someone else. If others don't dare to do it, then I will do it!"

Chapter 356: Your Excellency is welcome to come and enjoy!

In the commander's office, Yao Yue was diligently helping Song Xuan process various documents.

Song Xuan had been in office as commander for just over half a month when letters of allegiance from the thousand households in various prefectures and cities began to arrive in the imperial capital one after another.

Song Xuan was too lazy to review these meaningless memorials and threw them all to Yao Yue. After all, she was a former palace master and could handle such a small matter.

At this moment, he was communicating with Ji Xuanfeng.

"Your Majesty, it's been over half a month. How is the situation at court being sorted out?"

Ji Xuanfeng: "There are some clues, but not much. Let alone the Nine Provinces, just the livelihoods of tens of millions of people in the imperial capital alone make me dizzy.

There are also tens of thousands of officials in this imperial capital, with complex relationships and difficult to discern thoughts. It is really not easy to select some loyal and capable officials from among them to support our top-down reforms."

Song Xuan: "In that case, I will help you reduce your workload.

In the coming period, I may have to kill a number of officials in the Imperial Capital who are rotten to the core. After clearing out these bastards, Your Majesty can continue to select from the remaining ones who are not too rotten."

Ji Xuanfeng: "Oh? Did someone offend you?"

"No one is messing with me, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!"

Song Xuan simply recounted the confession submitted by Zhao Dezhu today. Ji Xuanfeng was silent for a moment after listening to it.

"Now that we have the evidence, let's do as you wish."

He paused and said, "What we are going to do will involve killing people sooner or later. So, let's start from here and kill the first batch!

"But you, didn't you plan not to use force before the wedding? Why, have you changed your mind?"

Song Xuan: "There's nothing I can do. Plans can't keep up with the pace of change. If I didn't know, it would be fine. But now that I know, if I don't deal with it cleanly, it will affect my mood even if I slack off at work."

Ji Xuanfeng: "Since it has affected my mood, let's deal with it as soon as possible. To be honest, I feel disgusted after hearing it.

What the hell is that thing my old father uses?

After finishing the voice transmission, Yao Yue turned her head to look at him.

"Were you communicating with the Emperor just now?"

Song Xuan nodded, "We have to tell him about this kind of thing."

"He doesn't mind, does he?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "It's just killing a group of officials. What can he have any objection to?"

"No, what I mean is that you're going to kill quite a few people, which might cause a stir in the court. Isn't the emperor worried at all?"

"What does he have to worry about?"

Song Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "Only when one's strength is insufficient will one worry about gains and losses. With the strength of the emperor and me, even if all the civil and military officials in the court oppose it, the worst that can happen is that we can just flip the table and reshuffle the cards!

They should be thankful that the Emperor and I chose a relatively mild method. Even if we have to kill someone, at least it is within the scope of official rules, and everything is based on evidence.

If they are shameless, then next time, the Xuanyi Guards will not be so disciplined!"

Yao Yue nodded thoughtfully and continued to review the pile of memorials on the table. Gradually, she felt the anger rising in her chest.

For normal letters expressing loyalty, she would simply reply with one or two sentences. Even if she didn't want to reply, she would write the word "read".

According to Song Xuan, these memorials still have to be sent back to the local areas. With the new commander taking office, the thousand households in various places are in a state of anxiety and wait-and-see. If the memorials submitted to the imperial capital do not receive any news, many people will probably not be able to eat or sleep.

But for some memorials, Yao Yue didn't even want to read them.

such as,

A captain from Qingzhou: My Lord Commander, the wife of the leader of the Shenlong Cult has been brought to justice. If you are interested, I can escort her to the imperial capital for you to enjoy!

A captain in Songzhou: My lord, I accidentally discovered a woman named Wang Yuyan, who is as beautiful as a fairy. If you are interested, I can prepare it for you in advance. Please come and enjoy it!

"Sir, I haven't seen you in a while and I miss you so much. Recently, the demonic cult woman Ren Yingying got into a fight with someone and affected the civilians. I led my men and captured her on the spot and took her to jail."

This girl has a very beautiful appearance and skin as white as jade. You can enjoy her at any time!

Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

I enjoyed your mother's eggs!

If Song Xuan hadn't been nearby, Yao Yue would have been swearing right now!

Yao Yueqi's chest heaved. His chest, already under heavy pressure, once again bore a pressure that it shouldn't have to bear.

As the wife of a commander, she should be magnanimous and broad-minded. Her mother has told her many times that she should be more generous after getting married and not be a jealous woman who makes people laugh at her.

But even so, she still felt unhappy when she saw these people offering women to her husband as if they were offering sacrifices.

A bunch of women who will be beaten through after being used, enjoy your mother's head!

Even if my Song family wants to take a concubine, that's something I, the eldest lady, need to consider. Do I need a bunch of you licking dogs to show me my affection?!

Remember their names first. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely deal with these flatterers.

"what happened?"

Song Xuan turned his head and looked over. After seeing the contents of the letters, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Just show your loyalty and say some polite words. Do you think I know you well enough? Why do you come up to me and give me women?

Besides, is it appropriate for you to write something like this directly on a memorial?

Yao Yue looked at him dimly, "It seems your husband's nickname, the Little Prince of the Brothel, has spread far and wide!"

Song Xuan laughed, "You know me, my skills are special. I went to that kind of place to sharpen my Dao heart. I've seen all kinds of women's tricks, and I can avoid being seduced by them."

Yao Yue believed what he said.

She knew Song Xuan's situation very well. To this man, martial arts practice was more important than anything else, and women were just embellishments. The idea that he went to brothels to sharpen his Taoist heart was quite plausible.

Song Xuan held her in his arms and groped her for a while. When the sky was almost dark, Song Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time to get off work. Another busy day is over!"

Just as he pushed open the office door and the two of them were about to leave work, a deputy commander walked quickly towards them from not far away.

"Sir, there is a woman outside the yamen who wants to see you?"

"Oh?" Song Xuan asked casually, "Did you say who it was?"

"He said he's an old acquaintance of yours, called Changle, and he wants to see you for something!"

The commanding officer speculated, "In the afternoon, the Inspection Division arrested quite a few people. They're probably here to plead for someone."

Song Xuan said, "Take her to the side hall first."

"As ordered!"

After the deputy commander left, Song Xuan met Yao Yue's half-smile and said, "Go and check the situation for me. If it's not a big deal, you can make the decision directly."

Chapter 357 Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted!

Before reaching the reception room, Yao Yue heard a melodious voice coming from the corridor.

"Brother Song Xuan, are you here?"

The voice was so soft and tender that even Yao Yue couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"Your brother Song Xuan didn't come, but your sister-in-law Song Xuan is here!"

As soon as Yao Yue entered the room, she saw a woman standing there, looking both happy and angry, and a little confused. Her hair was piled high, her eyes were a little timid, and her face was melancholy and calm!

"Yes, it's you?"

After seeing who was coming, Changle subconsciously took a few steps back.

Back then, she was beaten by Yao Yue more than once. Even though she is now married, she still feels fear when she sees Yao Yue.

"Very disappointed?"

Yao Yue gestured with her hand, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly!"

As she spoke, she sat down in the main seat and motioned Changle to take a seat.

Changle hesitated for a moment. If it was Song Xuan who came, she would have a lot of words to say, but the person who came was the person she least wanted to see in her life. If she didn't have something important to ask for, she would have wanted to leave immediately.

After taking their seats, Yao Yue spoke directly, "I've known since childhood that you're a beauty. Plus, you know how to act coquettishly and please others. You'll definitely be my biggest competitor in the future!"

Now that I see it, I feel so pity for it, even I feel moved.”

Changle's face was a little gloomy. "But so what? Compared to you, I'm still a little behind. Back then, when people talked about the most beautiful woman in the capital, you were always the first person they thought of!"

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the resentment in her heart, but after enduring it again and again, she finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Because you think I'm a competitor, you took action in advance and drove me away from Song Xuan?"

"Yes!" Yao Yue did not deny it and admitted it directly.

"You were only nine years old then, right? And you were already so scheming?"

Yao Yue smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with scheming. I just understand better than others what I want to do and what I like, and I am willing to risk everything for it.

You don't have to feel wronged or think that I broke up your marriage.

It's not that I look down on you, but even without me, you wouldn't have a chance!"

She paused and said something that Changle could not refute at all.

"You are too weak!"

"You and he spent time together as children, so you should understand his personality. He's a martial arts prodigy and a martial arts fanatic. Do you think you can catch his eye, considering your cultivation level, which hasn't even reached the Xiantian realm yet?"

Changle opened his lips and said, "I am not worthy of him. What about you? What is your cultivation level?"

"As for me..." Yao Yue chuckled, "I'm a martial arts master, so what?"

"Master of Martial Arts?"

Changle's eyes widened. "I remember you're one year older than me. You're only twenty-six this year, right? A twenty-six-year-old martial arts master?"

"Surprised?"

Yao Yue chuckled and said, "As far as I know, there are several who have reached the Grandmaster level before the age of thirty. Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean they don't exist."

Changle was silent for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, he and I are not from the same world after all!

Losing to you is not unfair to me!"
