After Lu Huan checked the recent robberies, fights and wounding incidents in the capital, he felt that these cases were a bit strange.
If we really look at the few people who have been arrested and brought to justice in Dali Temple, these cases should have nothing in common, but a few rioters suddenly rioted at different times and places. Where, if there is any countermeasure, it can only remind the people to pay attention to safety.
There seems to be no connection, but there is one detail that is a bit abrupt, which caught Lu Huan's attention--according to the records of Dali Temple, the offenders in two cases were in poor families, but the place of the crime was inside Chengxi City.
There are two major bazaars in the capital, which are divided into east and west markets.
Because the West Market has a river of water transportation, it has always had a lot of trade with Hu merchants. Over time, almost all the items sold in the West Market are rare animals, gold and silver treasures, etc., which are sold at sky-high prices. Only people in the palace and dignitaries something you can afford.
And a sky street runs through Dongshi City, which is the place where the people in the city go to purchase transactions, hold lantern festivals, and gather lively.
The land in the west is also expensive, and only the mansions of important court officials can be placed here. Previously, Lu Huan was in Prince Ning's Mansion. Because of the decline of Prince Ning's Mansion, the mansion was only in the relatively remote east.
In other words, most ordinary people buy high-quality and cheap things in the outer cities. Even if they have a little silver in their hands, they are considered half of the rich in the capital, and at most they just go to Dongshi to buy some supplies. After all, most of the people who come and go in the west are the children of noble officials. If they accidentally collide, there is no life to pay for it.
Therefore, it is very strange that these two offenders committed crimes in West Market despite clearly having poor families. What did they go to West Market on the day they committed the crime.
Lu Huan asked the two men under his command to investigate secretly. What they checked was not what the bosses of the restaurants and fireworks around the West Market said on the day the case happened. These Dali temples should have been checked before the perpetrators could be arrested and brought to justice. And these people are also very easy to be bribed, and it would be a waste of effort to ask again. He asked people to check all the people who entered and exited the West City on the day when several cases occurred.
There are a lot of people in West City, and the jurisdiction is not strict. This is extremely difficult to investigate and requires the cooperation of people from the household department. So it took two days for Lu Huan to get the file. He asked his subordinates to select people who were in West City on the day when several cases occurred. After such a sieve, one hundred and ninety-eight people were selected from the tens of thousands who came and went.
Among the 198 people, several people caught Lu Huan's attention.
Among them was a Hu merchant with a pointed hat and robes and a high nose. He was a merchant from the Western Regions who brought trees and carpets to the capital two months ago. He came to the capital several times, but there was no transaction record in the past two months.
Lu Huan went to the Ministry of War Shangshu's residence. People from the Western Regions must have customs clearance certificates when they step into the territory of Yan Kingdom, and they must pass the evaluation conducted by the garrison soldiers. If they are easy to cause trouble, they will not be included in the territory of Yan Kingdom. Therefore, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War should have received Hu Shang's evaluation.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War hurriedly took him to the warehouse, and it took a long time for the two subordinates to find out the evaluation record of this Hu businessman from the backlog of customs clearance documents. I saw that the northern soldiers evaluated him as a violent temper, but his eyes were like hawks, and his appreciation ability was very strong.
...
The Secretary of the Ministry of War knew that Lu Huan was secretly investigating this matter recently. Seeing that he closed the copy of the customs clearance document, he turned and closed the door, and asked him, "How is it, Your Highness Ninth Prince?"
"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as what Dali Temple found out." Lu Huan said.
After such an investigation, he almost had a completely different speculation about the crimes committed by the rogues in the capital recently.
He frowned, and said to the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Those two traders who have never been to the West Market before, but who defiled and killed two women in the West Market, should be just scapegoats."
The Minister of the Ministry of War heard this and said: "Crime at the foot of the sky is different from crime in the state and county. The person who handles the case is handling the case with his head on his head. What's more, the emperor was furious when the Queen Mother was attacked a few days ago. He ordered to investigate the matter as soon as possible and arrest him." The prisoner is in prison. If someone dares to cover up, it is a crime of deceiving the king. The wind is tight, who dares to be so courageous?!"
Lu Huan glanced at the Minister of War.
Although the words of Minister of the Ministry of War were a question, he had already turned the corner in his heart.
This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and the Fifth Prince and Dali Temple are currently investigating. Now Dali Temple has arrested all the perpetrators and reported them to the imperial court, but in fact they just caught a scapegoat to cover the crime. The emperor thought that the matter was settled, and for the time being, Longyan was very happy, and felt that Dali Temple was very efficient.
But if you do a deep investigation, you will definitely find that the wrong person has been arrested, and someone is covering up behind the Hu businessman. The emperor is in his forties, although he is negligent in government affairs, he is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position, and it will only be a matter of time before he finds out. And even if he hasn't found out after half a month, someone will definitely stab him in front of him and let him find out.
At that time, this matter will either be caused by Dali Temple's fault and negligence and arrest the wrong person, or Dali Temple will be bribed to cover up the Hu merchants and frame innocent people.
The fifth prince can hardly absolve himself of the blame.
In his rage, the emperor should dismiss the position of Dali Temple and ban the feet of the five princes.
But it would be strange if things were really that simple.
Lu Huan said: "I checked this Hu merchant and found that he has not had any transactions in the capital in the past two months, and his relationship is very clean. It is almost impossible to find out who he is. It's just that he happened to pass by on the crown prince's birthday last year. Prince's Mansion, then carried
Rare treasures went in to congratulate the prince on his birthday. If it had to be investigated, the only relationship between him and the prince would be. "
If he can find out this layer, so can the emperor.
The Minister of the Ministry of War said: "What do you mean, is it that the prince and the Hu businessman have framed the fifth prince? But the prince is not so thoughtful. If this kind of thing is not done by the prime minister, it is more like the fifth prince. It's a bitter trick, and I designed myself to bring down the prince."
"Your guess is correct, but there is a lack of evidence at present. No one can be sure who this Hu merchant belongs to and who he works for. It is not impossible to say that it is a few other people in the palace."
Minister of the Ministry of War said: "The second prince has always been low-key and doesn't interact much with people. Although the third prince is sensual, he is also confusing. It is not impossible to say that it is these two. But now—"
The Minister of the Ministry of War was reminded, and suddenly he was shocked. Isn't it Lu Huan who is so big now? ! If at that time, according to the speculation of the two of them, the emperor starts to investigate the matter, and the Hu businessman suddenly insists that Lu Huan did it, then the matter will be serious! This is very possible. Although the crown prince is the only one who has a direct relationship with Hu merchants, among the princes of the court, only Lu Huan has a rich status outside the palace. He said that this Hu merchant has something to do with Lu Huan in the northern border Contacts can also be made mechanically.
At that time, no matter who the Hu merchant is found out—or who the Hu merchant insists on, then that prince will become a person who kills with a knife, frames the prince, and pushes the blame for the fifth prince.
At that time, I don't know who the emperor will trust.
Thinking about this, Minister of the Ministry of War broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "I never thought that a mere bandit in the capital could lead to so many crimes. There is not much evidence now, and it is impossible to find out who set up this trick."
Thinking about it carefully, I actually feel that the prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince are all possible. And if he and General Zhenyuan didn't understand Lu Huan's nature, I'm afraid Lu Huan would be the most suspicious. After all, he dragged the prince and the fifth prince into the water with one stone and two birds, and the rest of him is the most famous person in the capital. From this point of view, he will benefit the most.
He would think so, I'm afraid the emperor would think so too.
Although there is no evidence that this incident was directed at Lu Huan, but Lu Huan has the final say, he has been back to Beijing for more than four months. In addition to the prince and the empress who wanted to use the chosen concubine to place people around him but failed, the other princes probably tried to arrange eyeliners to enter his mansion, but his mansion was stationed by a group of Habayashi soldiers who had returned from the northern border. , The eyeliner can't squeeze in at all. Four months have passed, the people hiding in the dark did not dare to act rashly at first, but now, no matter what, they should start to be unable to hold back their actions.
Lu Huan lost his appetite for these fights and felt bored, but since the soldiers came, he would naturally block them.
He said to the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Let's not care who set up this plan for now, just break the game."
He asked the Minister of the Ministry of War to propose several measures at the Golden Luan Hall when he went to court the next day-dividing the east and west cities into clearer areas for easy management, and implementing a trial curfew. Patrol in the capital. If a person suspected of committing a crime is caught during the curfew, he will be beaten with a board at least, and beheaded at worst.
Aside from the previous crimes committed by rogue bandits, there are quite a lot of occasional crimes in the capital. This move can reduce the crime rate to a certain extent.
If this move is found to be feasible after a trial in the capital, it can also be extended to the states. After the Shangshu of the Ministry of War proposed this move in the Golden Luan Palace, some officials agreed, thinking that the move could greatly maintain public order, while some officials strongly reprimanded it, thinking that the curfew would affect people's livelihood, and the reason for this has not yet been debated.
Regardless of this for the time being, Lu Huan asked Captain Yun the next day to take a few officials to the West Market to discuss matters—or, to put it another way, pretend to be discussing matters.
Yun Taiwei and the prime minister are political enemies. Once Captain Yun goes there, the prime minister will definitely try to find out what he and those officials are plotting.
The important task of breaking the situation fell on the only prime minister in the prince's party who was still sober.
...
After Lu Huan arranged some things, he waited for things to develop.
In addition to this matter, the previous task sixteen, to promote the law of light corvee and low tax, is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two, and needs an opportunity. Lu Huan wanted to reach 300 points earlier, so he spent more and more money on government affairs.
However, Suxi is on summer vacation. After a while, she will go to school in her third year of high school, and there will not be many opportunities for the two to date.
Therefore, after Lu Huan quickly finished handling government affairs every day, he would go directly to Suxi.
At the end of summer, the long summer vacation is coming to an end, and the last few days are extraordinarily hot. I know that in the community in Suxi and in Lu Huan's mansion, they are all shouting in the same tone. Huo Jingchuan begged Suxi for a long time, but Suxi couldn't resist his stubbornness, and called Lu Huan to play basketball with them.
The basketball court is in the school. After the holiday, the teaching building cannot be entered, but the school can still enter.
Huo Jingchuan's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Huan, and he went over to say hello: "Brother Lu, I miss you so much!"
Some time ago, a member of their team had a sprained ankle, and there was a constant shortage of players. As a result, several boys in the class could not play basketball for more than half a month. I have long wanted to invite people from other teams to come, but they are not familiar with each other and conflicts are prone to occur.
And Lu Huan is simply the perfect candidate. He is tall and can intimidate the opposing team, but he is a novice in basketball, so he will not overshadow his own limelight - Huo Jingchuan thought secretly, and gradually gathered around the playground The girls glanced at it, their little calculations clinking in their hearts.
The handsome Lu Huan has a handsome face, he can
Attracted a lot of beautiful girls, but when they start playing basketball, those girls will find that although this man is handsome, he is a complete rookie at playing basketball. Huo Jingchuan, who is much more beautiful than him, from Class 26 of Senior High—I am.
In this way, the eyes of those girls must be all focused on him.
Huo Jingchuan was so complacently immersed in his sweet dreams, the eyes he looked at Lu Huan became more enthusiastic.
Lu Huan tied up his long black hair, wore a peaked cap, and wore the Crayon Shin-chan short sleeves that Suxi had chosen for him. The pattern was Hiroshi Nohara, revealing his graceful, white and strong arms.
Although he was dressed a little naively, but the expression on his face was cold and cool, which immediately attracted many girls near the playground who were going back to school to pick up their things.
Many people gathered around the basketball court and sent text messages to their friends to scream.
Although Huo Jingchuan was the same age as Lu Huan, Huo Jingchuan grew up in a greenhouse, so he couldn't compare to a little fox like Lu Huan who grew up in political struggles.
Lu Huan could roughly guess what Huo Jingchuan was thinking, and felt a little funny in his heart. However, Huo Jingchuan took good care of Suxi a lot, and after Lu Huan determined that he was not someone who could threaten him, he also had some kindness towards him.
He nodded to Huo Jingchuan, and said, "Brother Huo, explain the rules to me, I'm sorry."
Huo Jingchuan has gotten used to his polite way of speaking, explaining three-pointers, shooting, fouls, etc. to him. And several other team members looked at him with the eyes of the New World.
Su Xi was wearing a short-sleeved skirt, holding his coat in front of him, and standing next to the playground with a box of mineral water. Gu Qin stood beside her.
Suxi was a little nervous. After seeing someone wearing couple sweaters in the mall last time, Lu Huan asked her to swipe his card to buy two.
After a long time of soft grinding and hard soaking, Suxi bought two Crayon Shin-chan, and she has a beautiful girl on her body.
Although Lu Huan didn't know these two cartoon characters, his eyes were bright and he was obviously very happy. Seeing that he was so happy, Su Xi went with him and came out wearing a couple shirt with him.
But he never expected that there would be so many people in the playground today, Suxi felt guilty, his cheeks were hot, and he used his coat to cover the pattern in front of him.
The girls stared at Lu Huan with bright eyes and talked a lot, but Gu Qin has seen Lu Huan several times, and his immunity has improved, so he can't look away so much.
She was whispering gossip to Suxi about the gossip before the holiday: "I heard that the day after the school girl handed you the movie ticket, she repeated the same trick and asked the girl from the school next door to watch a movie."
"Really?" Suxi was a little nervous about the clothes he was wearing, while staring at the court, afraid that Lu Huan would hit him when he was playing basketball for the first time, so he didn't listen to Gu Qin's words very much.
Gu Qin was more indignant than him, flipped through the gossip in the school, and said: "Why are boys like this now? I don't think they like it at all. It's just a pastime. Fortunately, Xixi, you didn't go to the movies with him that day, otherwise it would be a success." It's a laughingstock."
As he was talking, Gu Qin's eyes suddenly fell on a girl in a knitted sweater and long skirt on the edge of the playground, and suddenly grabbed Su Xi's arm: "Fuck, Su Xi, look, that girl is so beautiful."
Compared with the topic just now, Suxi is obviously more interested in this. Her nervous attention was slightly diverted, and her eyes lit up immediately. She held Gu Qin's hand behind her back and asked, "Where is where?"
"Over there." Gu Qin stretched out her finger and said, "I don't know where to buy her skirt, she looks good, I guess I can't wear it, Xixi, you can try this style, don't be casual all day long gone."
Suxi stared at the girl intently, admiring: "It's really beautiful, Hei Changzhi is so pretty, why haven't I seen it in our school before, is it from the school next door... Go and find out..."
Before she finished speaking, she somehow felt a chill in her body.
She subconsciously looked from the cooling source, and saw that the basketball court hadn't started yet, and everyone else was warming up. Lu Huan was warming up, turning his arms, and looking at himself quietly.
Suxi: ...
She suddenly remembered that Lu Huan was marching and fighting. He had excellent hearing and eyesight. He could hear him at a distance of only ten meters.
Suxi's words suddenly turned into crazy rainbow farts: "No! She has a good figure, but not as good as Lu Huan! She looks very good-looking, but I don't think she is as good-looking as Lu Huan!"
Gu Qin: ...?
Lu Huan's expression relaxed, but during the next warm-up, he intentionally or unintentionally blocked Suxi's view of the young lady.
Suxi: ...
