I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

Officials finally have some free time.

"Sir. You said that His Majesty killed eleven officials in a row. Is it a little..." Li Zhi came to chat with Monkey King, and the talk was about this case.

The number of officials involved in this case reached nineteen, and as a result, eleven were beheaded, and eight were demoted and exiled, never to be employed again.

This result can be described as quite severe.

Originally, when this matter was handed over to Li Zhi, Li Zhi, who was found out, planned to cut off the two except the first offender, and just demote the others into exile.

As a result, the case was sent to Li Shimin, who shook his head and said "the kindness of a woman".

Then, with a swipe of a pen, nine more beheads were added.

"What's going on with this case?" Monkey King asked with a frown.

Whether to kill or not depends on the circumstances of the case. It does not mean that there are too many people who commit crimes, so the law will not punish everyone.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? I heard that this case was originally caused by a theft case?" Sun Guo immediately got excited when he heard about the case.

It happened that he was resting at home these few days, and the old grandson asked him to read books and practice calligraphy. How could he do this, so he found an excuse and came to Monkey King.

I just came here and my buttocks are still hot. Li Zhi is here again.

The case has been closed, so there is no need to avoid Sun Guo.

Follow his word.

Monkey King immediately came to a conclusion after hearing this: "Your Majesty did the right thing!"

In mid-January, Liu Yuanwai, a cloth merchant in the west of the city, lost a very precious glass luminous cup, which was said to be an ancient relic from the Han Dynasty.

No matter how precious the lost thing was, at best it was a case of theft.

Just go to Chang'an County to handle it.

As a result, when the police in Chang'an County tracked down the robbers, they chased them to the thief's den.

The thief ran away vigilantly, but left behind a lot of stolen goods that were too late to take away.

The most important thing is that 2 taels of official silver were found in the den of thieves!

It's still a newly sealed official silver!

In other words, a certain yamen lost 2 taels of official silver!

But I haven't heard of such a case in this period of time!

The 2 taels was still an official bank. This was considered a major case, but there was no news at all.

So Chang'an county magistrate panicked, this matter is beyond Chang'an county's control.

Chang'an County immediately reported the matter to the Ministry of Punishment.

People from the Ministry of Punishment checked and found that this batch of official silver was newly minted two months ago.

It was for the expansion of Hongfu Temple that the Ministry of Households specially allocated to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Punishment immediately felt that there was something wrong here, and immediately ordered Prince Li Zhi to handle the matter personally when it came to Li Shimin.

As a result, as soon as the edict came out, there were three more murders and two suicides in Chang'an City.

This is not just about corruption anymore, this group of people is simply heartbroken, and the key personnel in the case will be killed whatever they say.

The most important thing is that as soon as Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to investigate, they started killing people!

It was like slapping Li Shimin in the face!

Obviously someone is doing something secretly!

Li Shimin was furious, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Li Zhi led the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple and other relevant yamen, and just checked all the way.

After all, this incident broke out too suddenly, and a lot of evidence was too late to be destroyed.

Nineteen high-ranking officials were found out, and another six small officials were killed or committed suicide!

Among them, the most involved person turned out to be the second-in-command of the Ministry of Industry, Zuo Shilang!

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 1269 Hongfu Temple Project===

Chapter 1269 Hongfu Temple Project

Among them, the one who made people kill was the Zuo Shilang.

And the other few who were killed also participated in or knew about the killing.

For a case of such an extremely bad nature, Li Shimin naturally had to resort to thunderous means.

Besides, this group of people were obviously slapping him in the face, how could they be worthy of Emperor Taizong's majesty if they didn't deal with it seriously.

"Your Majesty is not wrong to do this. How can they be worthy of those little officials who died in vain?" Sun Wukong said with a frown.

Those little officials did die in vain, maybe they were executing an order in a certain link, and they didn't even know the deep meaning of the order, so they were killed by them in the end.

So Monkey King thinks that Li Shimin's killing is not too much.

Besides, Sun Wukong also understands the face of the royal family. With Li Shimin's character, you slap him in the face as soon as you finish speaking. If he doesn't kill you, who will you kill?

Of course, this cannot be said to Li Zhi.

Thinking of those little officials who died unjustly, Li Zhi took a deep breath and finally relaxed.

"If you want me to say that there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's killing, this group of people already know that the Crown Prince is in charge of handling the case, so they dare to kill people in advance? Isn't this a disgrace to His Majesty and the Crown Prince! This kind of person can be kept without killing him?"

Sun Guo said what Sun Wukong didn't say.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Perhaps Brother Qiliang is right."

"It's been a while since I saw you, let's go to Tianxiang Garden for a drink today!" Sun Guo warmly invited.

This kid is rich now, and the gambling house can give him 20 taels of silver every month.

In the past two months, he has been so busy that he has no time to spend, and now he has saved 40 taels in his hands.

"Alright. Then let's go and sit down. It's really busy during this time."

Sun Wukong didn't even open his mouth, Li Zhi agreed.

"Don't worry, sir, I have a sense of proportion." Seeing Monkey King's embarrassed face, Li Zhi said with a smile.

"That's fine. Just go and sit down."

Sun Wukong could only reluctantly follow them.

The main reason is that the crown prince went to Tianxiangyuan together. He still pretends to be a veteran, so he can only be a bodyguard...

After all, the crown prince calls us sir!

It is always necessary to be a teacher by example.

……

In the afternoon, we chatted casually with Sun Wukong, and the three of them set off for Tianxiang Garden in Pingkangfang around [-]:[-]pm.

As for brothels, they usually only open after Shen You.

When they arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Garden, it happened not long after the door opened to welcome guests.

There was only one table of guests inside.

Sun Wukong is dressed as a Taoist priest, so Sister Dingxiang naturally doesn't know him.

Although Li Zhi had been here, he was very low-key.

This guy Sun Guo is quite respectable now, when Sister Clove saw him coming, she greeted him with a smile.

"Isn't this Boss Sun? Why aren't you busy in the casino today?"

Otherwise, the information flow in places like brothels is very high, even Sun Guangrui didn't know that his son had set up a gambling house, but Sister Ding Xiang knew about it.

"Hey! As a human being, you should always be at your leisure!" Sun Guo said carelessly.

He wanted a seat at the front, but Li Zhi obviously didn't want to sit there.

"Go to the private room." Sun Wukong suggested.

"Uh... that's fine." After a little hesitation, he agreed.

The main reason is that the private room starts with ten taels of silver. Although there are food and drinks provided, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay for this meal without 20 taels of silver...

Of course, this does not include the money for the first card.

"Daoist. Since we came last time, the oiran here has changed. I haven't seen it yet. If there is an oiran performance in a while, let's go and meet him?" Sun Guo looked at Sun Wukong slyly and said.

When Li Zhi heard it, did you come to see the oiran before?

It turns out that Priest Perak is also a man of temperament!

Monkey King said with embarrassment: "If you want to go, you can go, the poor are just drinking!"

"Oh!" Sun Guo nodded knowingly when he thought of Li Zhi here.

Li Zhi didn't say anything, mainly because he was afraid that the husband would be embarrassed again.

Not long after, three girls came.

One of them was still sleepy and had obviously just cleaned up.

There was someone Sun Wukong knew, it was the little Xiyu that Sun Guo was looking for when they came here before.

As for Xiao Lianxiang who is accompanying the guests at the first table downstairs today.

The other two girls are also good-looking, in Tianxiangyuan, they are considered top grade.

Each is two taels of silver!

It can be seen that Sun Guo also invested his capital!

Monkey King looked at Li Zhi's posture, not to mention, it was much more agile than when he first came.

Sure enough, I have been here...

He is still wondering if Li Shimin came here secretly...

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Zhi drank happily.

"Oh! If only Tian Tian could be so happy!" Li Zhi suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"Every day... It's difficult, the main reason is that the fee is too high. If you were with me, you could drink a little wine every day. Brother, if you want to go, brother will treat you every day!" Sun Guo said, pulling Li Zhi's arm.

"But what else is bothering you?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

The matter of the case is settled today, and it should be a state matter for Li Zhi to bother again.

But Sun Wukong also wanted to enlighten him, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution.

You haven't become an emperor yet, so don't make yourself so tired.

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Because of this incident, the Ministry of Industry has lost several officials. There is not enough manpower to expand Hongfu Temple, and several plans that were calculated before have been stopped."

"Isn't the money back? As long as the money is in place! There are a lot of people working! Brother, I used to set up a gambling shop..."

Sun Guo started bragging again, he didn't even know that all the money he spent belonged to Monkey King...

"Hey! It's not a matter of money or not. The main reason is that the involvement is so extensive this time, and other officials are not far away from taking this job."

Li Zhi said in a difficult way.

Expansion of temples was a fat job before, and there was a lot of oil and water.

It's just that this time the Ministry of Industry did too much, and was discovered by Li Shimin and killed him for a while.

Now the entire project is being watched by people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and other departments, for fear that something will happen and they will be implicated again.

So this Hongfu Temple reconstruction project has become a hot potato.

"You might as well contract out this project and just set a quota, and the Ministry of Industry is only responsible for supervising the quality of the project." Sun Wukong suggested.

"The construction will start next month. The time is tight, so it's hard to find someone." Li Zhi wondered.

"Why is it difficult to find someone? If you have money, how can you not find someone! No one will do it for me!" Sun Guo leaned over and said.

"Huh? Are you coming?" Li Zhi was taken aback, looking at Sun Guo.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's really good!"
