Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

The square was already filled with Wang's men tied up, and officials from the Three Law Courts had been waiting for a long time.

"Duke Wei." Yu Cheng saluted Wei Yanwu and raised his eyelids slightly. "Where is the prefect of Langyi?"

"He was killed by Wang's people." Wei Yanwu replied indifferently.

"Duke Wei!" Yu Cheng shouted.

"Now, we will try the case of Wang's conspiracy to rebel, stealing and selling Yumen's military equipment, and attacking and killing the garrison troops in Dahuang City. We will discuss the rest later!"

Chapter 151: Wang falls, Dahuang is full

If Wang wanted to be lawless in Langyi City and even violate the rules to connect with Jimo District, it was essential to contact the three generations of Langyi prefects. The Langyi prefects could not move forward without the support of Wang, and how could Wang be able to challenge the prefects?

The connection between Prefect Cheng and Wang can even be said to be the key starting point for investigating the case.

Yu Cheng shook his sleeves and asked, "Where is the examiner sent by Duke Wei? If Prefect Cheng is dead, they should verify his body and the cause of death. I wonder where are the certificate, the examination report, the front and back human figure map, and the autopsy list?"

"My strong righteousness as Prefect Cheng has been buried."

Wei Yanwu replied calmly, "Shaoqing, do you want to open the coffin and examine the body?"

After saying something like this, it would be impolite for Yu Cheng to continue to pester him.

"The Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Cheng, respectfully obeys the order of Duke Wei."

Yu Cheng was so angry that his nose was crooked. He casually cupped his hands and ordered his men to bring up the Langyi officials and a group of Wang family managers.

Yuan Congqian stood aside and saw the expressions of several people clearly.

Wei Yanwu directly sentenced Cheng Zhifu to death, setting the tone. In order to make Cheng Zhifu "heroically sacrificed", how many things did the three judicial officials have to avoid and how many circles did they have to go through? Before he became a real dragon, Wei Yanwu was so domineering and abused his power. It was not his character.

Wei Yanwu must have received the approval of the real dragon, and he is selecting his confidants based on who can strike a balance between the law and the imperial order. For upright officials who disobey him, they will not have a bleak future, but will be used as a knife to investigate cases in the future.

"If you think about it this way, it seems that Lao Wei's technique is very poor."

Yuan Congqian's eyes moved slightly, thinking in his heart, "Yan Kingdom is a feudal empire after all, and the emperor's will is more important than the law. Even the Legalists believe that the law is a tool for the emperor to rule, so it is reasonable to select people in this way."

The process of solving the case was unremarkable. It was nothing more than the rich Wang family's young master crying for his parents.

Yu Cheng first investigated the three official positions held by Wang Fu: President of the Langyi Chamber of Commerce, Langyi Gold Department Doctor, and Jimo District Inspector. He ordered people to fetch the files of the Langyi Gold Department and the Criminal Court, and began to review the parts related to Wang one by one.

You won’t know until you check. Once you check, you will find that the administration in Langyi has become extremely corrupt.

If merchants and residents do not donate to the Langyi Chamber of Commerce, it is almost impossible to get immediate public services.

Expecting a fair trial by reporting the case is a fantasy. All the Langyi Yamen in Jimo District have more or less received favors from the Langyi Wang family. Even if someone doesn't care, he would only be reluctant since so many of his colleagues are helping the Wang family.

The caravans leaving Langyi were also controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. The price of moving across the city was so high that ordinary people could not afford it. Merchants were also monitored and had difficulty going to the capital to seek justice. Under such circumstances, one can imagine what the inside of the moving city was like.

Under the dual pressure of the Langyi prefect and the Wang family, a very strange phenomenon of population outflow appeared in Langyi City, with hundreds of people fleeing to the surrounding mountain bandits every year. However, what they could not have imagined was that even the mountain bandits were members of the Wang family!

Yu Cheng spent half an hour reviewing the two cases, and was so angry that he even forgot about Wei Yanwu's execution of the prefect.

He angrily hammered the table on which the files were placed: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Is Langyi still a mobile city under the rule of Dayan? Do you really think that the Three Courts don't exist? You are being lawless!"

The relevant Wang family members knelt on the ground, stammering in silence.

They even forgot when they had harmed this person.

Wei Yanwu had stayed in the capital for more than ten years, and this was the first time he knew that there were such arrogant powerful families in the local area, and he sighed in his heart.

He even thought that the nobles in the Seven Mansions of the Capital were extravagant, and that the Fu family colluded with the bureaucrats of the Capital to pervert the law, and he was very dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, after seeing Wang Shi of Langyi, he felt that the Seven Mansions were still small in scale, and the Fu family members were not domineering enough.

"It seems that there is no need to review the files now. The Wang family's property was confiscated and the clan members were relocated to the Great Wilderness to serve for at least fifty years. Yu Shaoqing should investigate the two cases of the Wang family of Langyi stealing and trafficking Yumen military equipment and attacking and killing the garrison troops in the Great Wilderness City."

Wei Yanwu stopped Yu Cheng from continuing his investigation.

In the face of Wang's serious crimes, even if the crimes were piled up one after another, the person who deserved to be beheaded could not be turned into a person who was tortured to death. It was meaningless to continue wasting time. The three judicial departments would then send out a specialist to specifically redress the injustice of the people in the case files.

After hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Wang Fu finally came back to life and struggled on the ground.

He probably knew that it would be better to continue talking about the files.

The official from the Ministry of Justice looked at the document and read out numbers that he himself did not dare to read.

"Their arrows came from the Shaofu and the Military Equipment Bureau. In total, they sold and stored 12,500 fine bows, 3,600 powerful crossbows, more than 375,000 armor-piercing arrows, and 60,000 arrows of the three types of magic: destroying delusion, eliminating ignorance, and exorcising demons."

"These weapons that have been sold by the Wang family for many years are enough to arm an army. Moreover, under the influence of the Wang family, the three types of arrows are not only used as ordinary arrows by mountain bandits, but the technology has also been exported to the East Country and Ursus..."

"Fuck it! Say it again, what arrow?" The deputy commander who was listening to the fun was furious.

"There are three types of spell arrows: destroy delusion, dispel ignorance, and exorcise demons. Their specific uses are confidential..."

"I *capital swear words* yours, I *capital swear words*! What do you Wang family want to do? Do you also want to form a Shenwu army with well-trained soldiers and sufficient food? It's fine if you steal some things from Langyun's arsenal, but you steal things from Yumen and even special arrows?!"

To break delusion, get rid of ignorance and eliminate demons, you can tell their uses from their names.

"Besides that, besides that..."

The official from the Ministry of Justice was sweating. "The annual supply of the Langyi Arsenal is also in short supply, and it is unable to eliminate the mountain bandits. According to the regulations of Emperor Zhen, the mobile city should have 3,000 garrisons, but in fact, it is said that more than 2,000 people have never come..."

After hearing this, Yuan Congqian left with relief.

After walking a few steps, Wei Yanwu followed.

He sighed, "I thought I was here to rob the house."

He originally thought that Wang's fate would be to confiscate his property, but now confiscation of property was still too light for Wang. The soldiers who were fighting hard on the scene would not spare them. This was enough arrows and weapons to arm an army. He had never seen so much money.

Another powerful family that seemed to have provoked Yuan Congqian was exterminated.

Yuan Congqian reminded him intentionally or unintentionally: "Duke Wei, money is needed everywhere in Dahuang City."

"I know, I know. The Wang family has so much money, how could they be without your Great Desert City's money?"

Wei Yanwu was speechless. In fact, he was really planning to give less.

This is not because he is planning to be corrupt. Zhenlong is also short of money. Who would complain about having too much money? If Wang Shi of Langyi falls, Zhenlong and Yuan Congqian will definitely be able to eat their fill, and he himself will not have much left.

Chapter 152 Black Snake: I just haven’t figured it out

Mobile city, gantry.

At night, the streets of Longmen come alive.

Jie had been to Longmen in the past few years and had a not very pleasant hot pot with Nian. The food was too spicy. After returning, Jie wrote an article "Ode to the Night" for Yunqing Society. In the article, she used this sentence to summarize Longmen at night:

"The present broad daylight, with its hustle and bustle, is the decoration of this darkness, the golden lid on the human meat sauce jar, the vanishing cream on the ghost's face. Only the night is honest. I love the night, and write "Ode to the Night" at night."

Longmen is the most similar mobile city of Yan Country to the developed cities of Western countries. It has developed commerce, is open to the outside world, and is full of lights and mirages. Except that the rulers of the city do not seem to be loyal to Yan Country, everything is good here.

In a classical building with a pure white exterior and a Minoan style.

The Longmen prefect elegantly brewed a cup of black tea and tied up his loose hair.

He looked like an ordinary middle-aged Liberian, with a common grey and black fur, and a smile that seemed to show his enjoyment of the tea. But his dark eyes seemed to come from a cold-blooded animal, more like Fidelia, narrow and cold.

He was the evil god of Ursus, the "immortal black snake", who had temporarily borrowed the body of the prefect of Longmen. The silver seal and green ribbon of the prefect, the fourth rank, were casually placed in a corner, like a toy that had not been played with for a long time.

The Ursus man with round ears in front of the black snake looked a little resentful.

Black Snake took a sip of Victoria black tea and asked slowly:

"Your bank seems to be in deep cooperation with the International Commercial Bank. Has a large amount of funds flowed to Chernobyl recently? This does not match the foreign capital flow regulations I set. I may have to re-evaluate your bank's credit rating."

The Ursus man opposite him showed an expression of being embarrassed and pursed his lips: "This is a joint decision of the directors and Sir Nicholas. I have no right to oppose the decision of the board of directors."

Black Snake frowned, realizing that there was a small change in the plan, and pretended to be confused.

"Sir Nicholas, who is it again?"

He had already agreed with Sir Nicholas to use preferential banks when trading Western medicine.

The number of banks that Black Snake can interfere with is quite limited, because his current identity is still the prefect of Longmen, not the high-ranking lord of Ursus. If he is too biased towards Ursus, it will arouse the suspicion of the two major powers and backfire.

"He is a sixth-level civil servant from the National Treasury."

The Ursus asked with resentment:

"The prefect must know about this lord who is in charge of the connection between the empire and the new economic plan of Yan Country. Why ask him even though you already know the answer? We have been cooperating with the prefect for a long time, but he has concealed a lot from us and told the civil servants in other government offices to handle the matters of western medicine and the new economy!"

blacksnake:"?"

He crossed his hands, his expression seemed calm, but he unconsciously stroked his nails. When did Yan State have a new economic plan? Isn't the focus of the debate in the capital now the New Culture Movement?

“What are the aspects of the new economic plan?”

"The prefect is also asking us about your country's own plans? Is he asking whether we have the ability to learn about your country's reform affairs through the people in the treasury office in the capital of Yan State?"

"That's not what I meant. The information we received may not be consistent..."

The Ursus people on the opposite side laughed angrily: "It is indeed inconsistent. The prefect is really doing a good business! Since the prefect is suspicious of us and recommended other banks to the court, don't blame us for finding a way out ourselves!"

"Also, let me tell the prefect one more thing. The industrial platform construction team that Qiecheng prepared for Yan Country has left Longmen for many days. We are the last ones in the bank to know about it!"

He angrily excused himself and left, slamming the door against the wall, earning a confused look from Black Snake.

Emperor Ursus, he really didn't know why Yan Country suddenly gave up its conservative and closed policy. What did it mean that Qiecheng prepared an industrial platform construction team for Yan Country? When did it happen? Right under his nose?

Even a giant beast would find it difficult to monitor a city, let alone a black snake that possessed someone else with magic?

"What exactly happened in the capital?" Black Snake stood up puzzled and summoned the officials from the yamen.

"Is there any news from the capital recently? Please also send over the newspapers from the capital that I asked you to collect."

"Governor, the newspapers are all stored in the library, and we haven't touched them. Yesterday, a document was sent from the capital, and you were talking to several directors of the International Commercial Bank at that time, so we didn't disturb you."

"Give it here." Black Snake discovered that his understanding of Yan Country was outdated.

He must make up for this missing knowledge as soon as possible.

After a while, Black Snake flipped through the order from the Ministry of Revenue in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face. "Longmen commercial tax reduction pilot project, establishment of Qiecheng-Longmen-Dahuang commercial channel, requiring Longmen to prepare a transport team supply station as soon as possible..."

"Dahuang is open to foreign investment in factories, and the Dahuang City-Rem Billiton sea route will be cleared and opened within the year??"

Is he still asleep? Those conservative old stubborn people in the Yan State’s top leadership would give such an order!

Not only did the Yan Kingdom not fear him, but it also allowed him to step up efforts to promote Longmen's commercial development?

Not only that, but they also set another fire, making the Dahuang City deep inland an open city?

If Yan State does not limit its opening to the outside world to Longmen, then what is the point of him constantly allowing Longmen to be influenced by Ursus? Yan State will definitely recall him to the capital as an outstanding official to impart experience, which runs counter to Black Snake's purpose!

"What's going on?" Black Snake gave the order, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

King Aslan of Victoria is planning to enact the Red Dragon Act. Draco, another royal family of Victoria, will be expelled from the country. The red dragon Edward Atrias, whom Black Snake has been eyeing for a long time, will also enter the Dragon Gate and become his pawn.

These years are a critical period for the layout of the Black Snake plan, and the existence of variables cannot be tolerated.

"It seems that we need to arrange some personnel to infiltrate the construction team in Dahuang City."

Black Snake narrowed his eyes and began to write Longmen's development plan for the next six months.

As the oldest of the old masters in Ursus, Black Snake is very familiar with economic opening. In Black Snake's eyes, Longmen is already his own property, so he naturally wants to avoid the detours that may be involved in economic development as much as possible.

From the perspective of commercial value alone, his development plan is worth a fortune.

Black Snake's eyes moved slightly, and he began to write a transfer order to summon a senior engineer from Ursus.

Every country has giant beasts, and the intelligence related to giant beasts is the core of the core. Black Snake's information channels have not penetrated to this extent. But he is a smart man. He noticed the organization called "Si Sui Tai" and slowly found some clues. He found that most of the agents of Yan Country's giant beasts are in mobile cities.

"Dahuang City is a town in the northeast of Yan Country that has not even built a mobile city. Such an ordinary town would not have the giant beast agents of Yan Country. I have to go there in person to see the situation..."

Chapter 32: Seven Star Dragon Abyss, come and give Black Snake a life! (Additional chapter )

Black Snake arranged the economic development plan for Longmen to ensure that it could run smoothly even if he was not there. He immediately went to find the postmen and asked them to send someone to Dahuang City for him.

The postmen had only arrived in the last few days. They were part of the construction of the Qiecheng-Longmen-Dahuang commercial corridor, responsible for maintaining the direct special vehicles and routes between Longmen and Dahuang. They were currently accepting a small number of civilian orders to supplement their funds.

Black Snake naturally donated 100,000 taels in the name of the prefect of Longmen. He would earn back the money in the future.

When the two postmen heard the purpose of Black Snake's visit, they looked at each other and asked, "Since you are the prefect, we will not charge you for your carriage. I just wonder if you are a Yan countryman or a foreigner?"

"A senior Ursus engineer."

Black Snake handed the other party's Ursus business card to the two postmen.

"He is affiliated with the Koschei Military Science Academy in Saint Steed Castle, and he has been involved in the military research and development of Ursus since the Four Emperors War. I heard that our Great Wasteland City is undergoing construction, so I can invite this engineer over, and I think he should be able to help a little."

"I see. The prefect is thoughtful. But did it cost a lot of money?"

"It's just a favor I received when dealing with these Ursus people. If you can help, it's the best of kindnesses. Don't be polite." Black Snake imitated the tone of the Longmen prefect and smiled naively with his eyes narrowed.

"That's a great help. There's a shortage of people and money everywhere in Dahuang City."

The two postmen did not suspect anything and put away the business card. "When will this engineer arrive? Can he bring an interpreter?"

"He will arrive tomorrow. He can speak the elegant Beijing dialect and a little bit of the Longmen dialect."
