"Smelly man, is this child in your family, is there a brain disease?"
Su Su ran into the study room, the feeling of thorns on the back disappeared. It was strange that she was stared at by a five or six year old child uncomfortably.
"You are sick. Your whole family is sick. Oh, forget that your whole family has been hacked."
Xu Qi'an replied mercilessly. He had forgotten a joke from his aunt, thinking that Su Su was burying Xiaodouding.
"squeak......."
Xu Qi'an closed the door of the study and wanted to pour a cup of tea for Li Miaozhen. Considering that an autopsy might be required next, it was not the time to drink tea, so he didn't offer tea to the guests.
Li Miaozhen didn't talk nonsense, took out the fragments of the ground book, and shook it lightly, and a black shadow fell and fell on the floor of the study.
Xu Qi'an, with five keen senses, smelled a strong smell of blood.
He stared at the headless corpse for a moment, and asked, "Where is his soul?"
A headless corpse alone can't explain much. Since Li Miaozhen said it was a major event, he must have summoned the soul by means of Taoism.
Li Miaozhen slapped the sachet, a wisp of blue smoke curled into Nana, and turned into a dull, fuzzy-looking middle-aged man in mid-air, muttering: "The blood slaughtered three thousand li, the blood slaughtered three thousand li, please send troops to crusade. ........."
The Saintess of Tianzong's face is heavy, "His soul is damaged. I want to know the follow-up content, only to cultivate the soul. According to the degree of the incompleteness of the soul, it will take at least two months."
Xu Qi'an glanced at her and said, "Two months later, the day lily is cold."
Li Miaozhen stared, "Then what do you think you should do."
She really didn't know what to do, there was only such a clue, no head and no tail, how to explore the truth?
Su Su's beautiful black and white eyes, staring at each other, knew that with Xu Qi'an's ability to solve crimes, she would definitely not be as confused as her master.
Su Su was looking forward and curious about this, wondering what angle he would analyze.
Xu Qi'an meditated for a while, leaned over to remove the clothes on the corpse, and after examining it, he said, "No accident, he should be a northerner."
Li Miaozhen's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "What's the basis?"
She watched the shameless No. 3 inspection of the corpse, but did not come to the same conclusion as him.
"One side raises the other side. From the appearance and skin, you can tell who the deceased is. Without the head, the ghost's face is too vague...so I want to judge where this headless corpse is from, It must be verified from the body details."
Xu Qi'an raised the right hand of the corpse and said, "Look, besides the calluses on the palm of his palm, this person also has a thick callus on his index finger, so that neither the knife nor the sword will have such a callus."
Su Su and Li Miaozhen took a closer look, and it was so.
The stunning female ghost blinked her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "What kind of weapon is that used? Don't sell it."
Li Miaozhen showed a daze: "It's a bow."
As expected of the female general waiting in the barracks, she reacted quickly...... Xu Qi'an nodded: "Yes, this person is good at shooting."
Su Su tilted his head and retorted, "How can I tell you that he is a northerner? I feel you are ridiculing. There are so many people who shoot well, can't they be in the army?"
Li Miaozhen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Miss Susu is right. For example, there is a shooter beside you who is not an army."
Xu Qi'an winked his eyebrows, and kept moving his hands, separating the legs of the headless corpse, and said:
"Look carefully, he doesn't have a cocoon at the base of his thigh. If he is a soldier who has been riding a horse for a long time, he will definitely have a cocoon on his thigh. He is not a member of the army, and he is good at shooting. This is in line with the characteristics of northerners. People of the arena are not good at making bows."
Northerners are good at bows and arrows, and even ordinary adult men can open bows. According to Xu Qi'an, the standard equipment for people from the rivers and lakes in several northern states is a knife and a bow.
Sometimes, you can even use daggers and broken blades without a knife, but you can't live without a bow.
At this time, Su Su came up with another rebuttal, saying: "Or, it's an archer."
Xu Qi'an sneered, "Who would send an archer to pass the letter? If you guessed it right, most of this person is from the north of the rivers and lakes. As for what he meant to convey, who was appointed by him, and by whom he was attacked, I I don't know."
Li Miaozhen silently exhaled a suffocating breath, and said with satisfaction: "Then he will be handed over to you. As a silver gong for the watchdog, you should handle these matters."
Su Su also followed with a sigh of relief, feeling that although this stinky man was lustful and annoying, he was really good at it.
After the analysis was justified and well-founded, she was still very convinced.
He and his master were at a loss, and didn't know how to look down at all, but after handing them to this man, they immediately had clues.
Although Susu often complained about Li Miaozhen's nosy, even though she likes to absorb the spirit of men, she knew that she was a kind-hearted female ghost.
If the headless body matter cannot be handled properly, both she and Li Miaozhen will have a psychological burden.
Therefore, this highlights Xu Qi'an's goodness and can bring such a lost sense of security.
...........
Arranged a guest room for Li Miaozhen and Su Su, and then ordered the cook to prepare some snacks. Xu Qi'an returned to the study and collected the corpse into the book fragments, begging for the remnant soul, and rode a little mare to the Yamen.
"I remember that Wei Gong said that there were frequent wars in the north, and Dafeng had defeated one after another. The civil servant sent a letter to impeach the king of Zhenbei, but was forcibly thrown to Wei Yuan by Emperor Yuanjing, and he took the hat of Yushi Yushi from his left capital.
"The blood slaughtered three thousand miles, I can't imagine, such a major event...Why haven't I heard of it before? It's a matter of great importance, so we must report to Wei Yuan in time."
The little mare rushed to the Yamen, Xu Qi'an handed the rein of the horse to the staff on duty at the door, and hurried to Haoqi Building.
"Xu Yinluo, Wei Gonggang has ordered a carriage to enter the palace." The guard downstairs replied.
To enter the palace........ Entering the palace is also a waste of time with Emperor Yuanjing and the civil servants........Xu Qi'an sternly said, "Don't talk too much nonsense, go in and pass on."
"Yes..." The guard ran into the building wisely.
After getting a definite answer from the guard, Xu Qi'an pressed the knife with one hand and climbed up the steps. After seeing Wei Yuanduan sitting at the table, he looked at him gently and calmly with the vicissitudes of life washed out by the years.
He still wore a Tsing Yi, but with intricate moiré embroidered on it, and a blue dragon on his chest.
This is the court dress that Wei Yuan wore when he was in dynasty or when he entered the palace.
"You only have time for a cup of tea, so please tell me if you have something to do." Wei Yuan spoke to his confidant, his tone not very polite.
"Since Wei Gong is in such a hurry, I will make a long story short." Xu Qi'an was not good at heart, so he directly took out the jade fragment and shook it lightly.
Patter... The headless body fell on the clean tea room, polluting the clean floor.
Wei Yuan was a little surprised, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said solemnly, "What's going on."
"Li Miaozhen arrived in the capital today and is currently staying in my house." Xu Qi'an said.
"Ok!"
Wei Yuan nodded and didn't care about it. He stared at the headless corpse and said lightly, "But what does it have to do with this corpse?"
Xu Qi'an grinned: "It's a big deal. She found this corpse 80 miles away from the capital, and was cut to the head with a single knife.
"Where is Li Miaozhen, he is nosy, so he summoned the remnant soul of the dead and asked about the situation. Who knows..."
He paused deliberately and wanted to sell it, but seeing that Wei Yuan's face was not so good, he felt a sudden, fearing that his salary for the next month would be deducted because he left his foot before going out, and said immediately:
"The soul said a word, um, let's see for yourself, Wei Gong."
He took off the sachet that Li Miaozhen gave you, opened the red string, and a blue smoke curled up in mid-air, turning into a man with a fuzzy face and dull eyes, and he repeated:
"The blood slaughtered three thousand li, the blood slaughtered three thousand li, please the court to send troops to crusade..."
Wei Yuan's pupils contracted suddenly, staring at the remnant soul, his eyes sharp.
He was silent for a few seconds and said: "Do you have any clues."
This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence. It seems certain that Xu Qi'an must have discovered something.
Sure enough, the little silver gong he admired never let him down. Xu Qi'anhui reported: "The humble post preliminarily concluded that he was a northerner and was killed on the way to Beijing to report."
I recounted my speculation in detail.
"There has been no war in Dafeng recently. Except for the north, Wei Gong, the situation in the north is probably worse than we thought. But the court did not receive the corresponding report?"
"No."
Wei Yuan shook his head, frowning slightly: "Do you suspect that Zhenbei King lied about military affairs?"
Xu Qi'an glanced at Wei Yuan, "This is not surprising. What is strange about the humble position is that if the king of Zhenbei lied about the military situation, why didn't the Yamen receive intelligence?"
The hidden children who beat the guards are all over Kyushu, and how can there be no news at all for such a major event as the blood massacre?
"At the beginning of the year, I deployed most of the dark children to the northeast. Very few remained in the north, and the news was inevitably blocked." Wei Yuan said helplessly.
Anzi has been transferred to the northeast? What does Wei Gong want to do, fight the witch sect... Xu Qi'an suddenly stopped asking, "Then Wei Gong thinks, how to deal with this matter?"
Wei Yuan glanced at the water leak placed in the corner of the room, and said, "I'm going to the front of the palace, and the body and soul will be taken away by me. You don't have to pay attention to this matter."
When Xu Qi'an nodded, he said again: "Since Li Miaozhen has come to the capital, then the covenant between heaven and man will end soon, and the security in the capital will be much better.
"I don't know how many spies came in during this period of time, but fortunately, there are supervisors who are staring at them and can't get through any storms.
"You ask Li Miaozhen to pay attention. Don't leave the city at will, don't cause trouble, and beware of possible dangers."
"The possible danger?" Xu Qi'an asked rhetorically.
Wei Yuan glanced at the water leak again, and said very quickly: "I only tell you the dangers she may encounter: First, the danger comes from the court. Second, the danger comes from spies from other countries. The reason is that you think, I have to get it. Into the palace."
He split his hand and grabbed the sachet in Xu Qi'an's hand, hurried out of the tea room, and told the staff as he walked: "Take the corpse and enter the palace with me."
.........
Yushufang.
In addition to Emperor Yuan Jing, the first assistant Wang Zhenwen, Hubu Shangshu, and other three-rank lords, Duke Nobles, and Dugwei, a total of sixteen people gathered.
Chu Xianglong, who was pale, stood among the officials, bowed his head slightly, and said nothing.
He had taken the pills given by Sitianjian Warlock, and was soon able to get out of bed and walk, but the internal injuries suffered from broken meridians could not recover in a short time. However, as long as you don't use pneumatic martial arts, you can recover after a month.
Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and said, "Wei Yuan hasn't come yet, so don't wait!"
After that, he swept over the public and said: "The king of Zhenbei asked the court for 300,000 military salaries, grain, grass, and fodder 250,000 shi. What do you mean by Aiqing?"
Hubu Shangshu was the first to oppose it, saying: "In the 36th year of Yuanjing, Jiangzhou was flooded; Jingzhou was severely affected by drought; there was a locust plague in the state, and the court allocated food for disaster relief several times.
"There is not much left in the two big granaries in Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, so I can't make up."
Emperor Yuan Jing said in deep thought: "It is deployed from all states."
The Hubu Shangshu replied: "Even if there is water transportation, it takes time and labor to collect grain and grass from various states. People eat and chew. When they are transported to the border of Chuzhou, I am afraid that there will be no less than half. This is not a good strategy."
As he was talking, the walked to the entrance of the Imperial Study Room and stopped.
Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand, interrupted the Hubu Shangshu, and looked at the at the door: "What's the matter."
"Wei Gong is here," the said.
Emperor Yuan Jing was happy and angry, "Let him in."
The retired. Ten seconds later, Wei Yuan stepped into the imperial study room and stood in his place as usual, without making a sound.
Emperor Yuan Jing said displeased: "This can't do it, that's also impossible. Will the officials only refute me?"
Yuan Xiong, the Yushi of Zuo Du, moved in his heart, seized the opportunity, stepped out, and said, "The minister has a policy."
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "Yuan Aiqing, please say."
Yuan Xiong said: "The imperial court can temporarily add an called the grain transport servitude. The people are ordered to the grain and grass."
Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes shimmered slightly, this was indeed a second strategy.
The so-called corvee is a labor activity carried out by the court freely recruiting people from all walks of life. If the people are responsible for the of grain and grass and the supervision of the officers and soldiers, then the court only needs to bear the rations of the officers and soldiers, and the people's rations will be solved by themselves.
In this way, not only can it be ensured that the grain and grass are not consumed when transported to the border, but also a large amount of grain transportation costs can be saved.
"This is a good strategy!" Emperor Yuan Jing smiled.
Yuan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as His Majesty adopts his strategy, Long Xin Dayue, the sequelae of the imperial examination fraud case will be minimized.
After the palace test, once Xu Xinnian achieves good results, it is conceivable that the counterattack of Dongge University scholar Zhao Tingfang will inevitably be ushered in, and Wei Yuan's fall will come to an end.
His position as Zuodu Yushi hasn't stabilized yet, maybe he will be kicked down and save himself.
Wang Shoufu stepped out and said: "This plan will harm the country and the people, and Yuan Xiong will be punishable!
"Your Majesty, it's the time of spring plowing. When the people are busy with farming, no additional labor is allowed. Since ancient times, people have relied on food as their heaven. Nothing can disturb the people during spring plowing.
"In addition, last year there were many natural disasters, and the people didn't have much surplus food. This plan is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and driving people to death."
Zuo Du Yushi Yuan Xiong's brows jumped and he was about to refute, he heard Chu Xianglong sneer and said: "The king's head loves the people like a son, and he will admire him. But, are the people everywhere in Chuzhou not the people of Dafeng?
"Wang Shoufu is blind to their lives and deaths."
Wang Shoufu said indifferently: "The imperial court garrisoned 86,000 households in the north, and each household gave six acres of land and 5,000 hectares of land. Every year..."
"There has been no war at the border for a long time. The weather has been smooth in all parts of Chuzhou over the years. Even if there is no grain collection, it can last a few months according to Chuzhou's grain reserves. Why suddenly there is a shortage of money and food.
"I'm afraid that those military fields have been taken over by some people."
Chuzhou is the northernmost state of Dafeng, adjacent to the territory of the northern barbarians.
Chu Xianglong relied on the prince to support him, without fear, and snorted coldly: "Aside from being sly, have you ever fought a war or led a soldier? You waited to enjoy it in the capital, but didn't know how hard the border soldiers were.
"Your Majesty, this time the barbarians are coming on fiercely. As early as the end of last year, there have been several wars. The prince is brave and has won many battles. If it is because of the shortage of food and grass, the logistics can not supply it~EbookFREE.me~ The fighters will be delayed and the consequences will be lost. Unthinkable."
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "Duke Huai is brave, I know it naturally. How about the war in the north now?"
Chu Xianglong clasped his fist and said: "The prince uses soldiers like a and is unparalleled. After several defeats, the barbarians did not dare to confront our army.
"We can only rely on the cavalry to looting quickly and everywhere. Although our army has the advantage, it is exhausted. Please give out the army's salary and grass, so that the soldiers will know that the court has not forgotten their credit."
Wang Shoufu frowned.
After accusing the king of Zhenbei of impeachment at the end of last year, the Tang News sent from the north did say that the king of Zhenbei had repeatedly won the battle and that the barbarians' aggression against the border was contained.
Cao Guogong immediately said: "The king of Zhenbei has worked so hard, and I can't hold him back. Your Majesty, transporting food and fighting is the best of both worlds. Moreover, if the army cannot be paid, it may cause mutiny in the army.
"Even if there is something wrong, it should be counted after the fall. Grain, grass and military pay should not be seized in this matter."
Several honourable men agreed.
On the battlefield, they are experts and have more say than civilian officials.
Wang Shoufu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter must be discussed in the long term."
Emperor Yuan Jing ignored him and said, "What do you think of Aiqing?"
Upon seeing this, the princes all let go and replied: "You should fully support the Zhenbei King."
Your Majesty's tendency is obvious, and it is useless for them to say more.
Several backbones of the royal party quietly gave the head of the king's assistant a look, and asked him to say that how much his Majesty trusts the king of Zhenbei is obvious to all in the court.
Otherwise, Zhenbei Wangzhen's national sword would not be bestowed back then.
Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan: "Wei Aiqing, you are a master of military law, what do you think?"
Wang Shoufu looked at Wei Yuan immediately.
