How many buildings are in the mist

For several days, she personally led the team to cooperate with Tingwei.Originally, she didn't want to go after the first day, but after thinking about it, if she didn't go by herself, no one could hold back the scene, and if she couldn't hold back, she couldn't take people away, so she had to keep going.Ask Feng Zihuan for leave, Feng Zihuan is very happy, let her go.

She knew that she had once again become Feng Zihuan's double tool.

The arrest list was designed by Feng Zihuan himself. Those who were arrested on the first day probably had problems, so they were all scared to death.In some families, the old father was arrested, and the son came out and saw Cui Xuanji. Some asked about the situation, some begged for mercy, and some treated Cui Xuanji coldly.After the first day's arrest, he was not released and was not allowed to visit the prison. Wei Ting knew that if the news leaked out, the emperor would know about any misconduct—or the Zhonglang next to him would hear about it and pass it back to the emperor's ears— The emperor who had always tolerated him probably didn't intend to tolerate him anymore, not to mention that his official position would not be guaranteed. The assassin of the emperor has not been caught and there is no clue so far. Isn't it enough to beheaded?

The cell door is closed tightly, so you can guess how to go outside.

The next day, some sons and daughters who were also involved in the incident and begged for mercy yesterday were also taken back.Cui Xuanji and Ting Wei divided into two groups. Cui Xuanji continued to arrest people, and Ting Wei went back to "chat" with these boys and girls. No matter how the children pretended to be false or protested sternly, only Ting Wei asked them, not them. Wei "how is my daddy".Cui Xuanji, who was arresting people, just went to the door of the person, knocked on the door, and arrested the person.It stands to reason that she has the emperor's oral order. If someone refuses to come out, or protests and refuses to leave, she can use force directly-the Habayashi soldiers in charge of city patrols are equipped with ropes and can tie people up at any time.But she didn't, she just sent her men to knock on the door to announce, and she stood outside and watched.Let's save face for each other, it's not a big deal, don't be afraid if you have no ghosts in your heart.

If she thought this way, Feng Zihuan would not be satisfied—of course he would not express his dissatisfaction openly—and the one who was caught would definitely be dissatisfied.For example, when you walk to the door of the Chai family and arrest the head of the Chai family, Chai Xun, Chai Xun's good friend Sun Mu is inside, and Sun Mu immediately stops Chai Xun who wants to leave, saying that no small official can take away the head of the high family. Reasonable, threatened Cui Xuanji to come in by himself.The people below were helpless, the original words came out, Cui Xuanji asked: "What are your master and Lord Sun doing?" The servants replied that they were playing chess, "Then please take me in." Left and right wanted to follow, Cui Xuanji waved his hand and said Need not.

Walking into the room, I saw Sun Mu who was still playing chess and Cha Xun who was at a loss sitting on the couch.Cui Xuanji said that Lu Mao had something to do with Chai Xun's confession, and according to the decree of the sage, he asked Chai Shibo to come with me.Before Chaixun could answer, Sun Mu began to criticize Cui Xuanji, seeing that it was rude for the elders to be rude, so he should do it first.Cui Xuanji sternly said that the officials are performing official duties, and in official duties there is only the dignity of the monarch and the ministers, no family members.Sun Mu immediately started making a fuss, Cui Xuanji didn't bother to pay attention to him, and while wondering if the old man was crazy, he asked Chaixun if he could leave, and to go back early.Chaixun probably always felt that he had done nothing. He received Lu Mao's letter but did not agree to it. Instead, he dissuaded him.So he asked Cui Xuanji if he could go to the inner room to get the letter, and then go to see Ting Wei?Cui Xuanji said yes.

Sun Mu was still making noise, Cui Xuanji ignored him.Unexpectedly, the next day, Sun Mu said that he ransacked the house without the sacred decree.To make matters worse, Chaixun held Lu Mao's letter in the hope of proving his innocence, but because of the letter in his hand, he was instead detained at Ting Wei's place and did not go home that night.The people and friends of the Chai family thought it was a violation of the law, so they said that Cui Xuanji did not believe what he said.By the time Cui Xuanji went out to arrest people in the afternoon, the slander had already spread throughout the Jiankang family.When she arrived at the gate of Zheng's house, there were already some descendants of the family gathered there, scolding her for being a running dog of the emperor, dishonesty, and disgrace to the family, while preventing her from being arrested.

After listening to the general idea, she began to think that Sun Mu, as a relative of the Lu family, must be trying to cover up something for the Lu family, so he took the risk of being called a lunatic to make a fuss—or simply crazy up.

The guards of the Habayashi braided the rope together, and used brute force to pull—or strangle—the instigated crowd to the sides, making way for a passage.Cui Xuanji walked in, and the surrounding people either beat the Habayashi guards, or took out stones to throw Cui Xuanji.Of course it couldn't be hit, the stone was caught by Cui Xuanji, and the person who hit her was glared at by her.

This guy didn't dare to speak.

"You are from the Lu family...Lu Yu's cousin, you are Zhang Shuo, aren't you?" she asked.The man didn't dare to answer, and he had to answer in full view of everyone, so he boldly shouted: "Yes, so what!"

"According to the law, if the Lu brothers conspired against each other and the entire Lu family was imprisoned, others like you should stay at the criminal's home and not go out. If you come out now, you have broken the law. Come here and kidnap me." After finishing speaking, she strode forward. walked in.

I thought that in another day, there would be fewer unprovoked protests, but I didn't expect that they would not restrain themselves.She simply forced a protesting man to the wall and asked him, "Why did you come to hinder this official from carrying out his official duties?" The rhetoric was still the same, "Who told you to come?" What are your stories?" The man was about to say who it was, and immediately argued that the stories were all facts!Cui Xuanji smiled and said: "How can a family's words become the truth?" The man didn't know how to refute, Cui Xuanji said to the other protesters around him solemnly: "Impeding the imperial court ordering officials to perform official duties, you know what crime it is! You know what the crime is! The court is magnanimous and will not pursue it, so you still have to go to prison and suffer!"

The crowd dispersed, and she walked into the mansion of her cousin Lu Hao, and she wanted to arrest Lu Hao's cousin, Lu Xuan.Walking into the mansion, seeing Lu Hao sitting in the hall reading a book, he beckoned her to come over: "Xuan'er is at the back, you can just send someone to invite her, but you may need to get on a horse to take her away, otherwise his legs will be weak and he won't be able to walk. "Cui Xuanji waved his hands to let his subordinates pass by, and sat down beside Lu Hao by himself.

"Xuan'er, are you taking her away too?" Lu Hao asked.

"Your Majesty's will, who dares to disobey."

Lu Hao said with a smile: "You can never go out to recruit, but you can't be tolerated when you commit crimes. Although the truth is correct, I always feel that something is not right."

Cui Xuanji smiled and nodded, "At the end of the day, when the court is begging for help, its posture is low; when it is arresting people, it is high above: shouldn't my cousin's intentions be consistent?"

"Although it is said that there is inherent superiority and inferiority, I always hope that in these matters, the court and people can respect each other and treat each other fairly like old friends. That's all, just think about it. National affairs, the world is turning, and people are nothing more than ants. "

At this time, Lu Xuan was dragged out by the guards. He was the last one to be arrested today, and also the last person on the list.Cui Xuanji ordered the guards to take him back first, and he went back alone later.After the person left, Lu Hao asked: "Even Xuan'er is going to be arrested, won't the arrest be too much? You should know that Xuan'er and Lu Mao are just exchanging poems and essays."

"The list was drawn up by His Majesty, and she didn't hand it over to anyone else. That's her intention. Who can control it?"

"What do you think she means?"

"Cousin is so smart, how can you not see it?"

Lu Hao laughed: "Who said that only swordsmen can kill people! Your Majesty's move is clearly using words as a knife. Wherever the edge strikes, the blood counts. I heard that some people in the market scolded you."

Cui Xuanji said helplessly: "Yes. According to His Majesty's original order, release people on the day after the trial, no later than the next morning; who knows that some people went in and confessed indiscriminately, and Tingwei dared not let them go, so the time limit was extended one after another. , Cha Xun didn't go out until a day later. In the past few days on the road, he met ignorant and bewitched people, and he was naturally scolded."

Lu Hao asked her why she was being scolded, and Cui Xuanji answered truthfully.Lu Hao said with a smile: "In today's situation, if you want to win back the city, you can only go and arrest the emperor's brother-in-law, in order to show that although the imperial court has extensive raids, it is still fair."

Cui Xuanji sighed: "I don't know my cousin. Lu Hao was recruited by everyone in the prison, except Zhu Hezhi. He also said that guy is a waste and cannot be conspired with. He also said that since Zhu Hezhi made a fuss before After being dismissed by the court, he disliked Zhu Hezhi and never had any contact with him again."

Lu Hao nodded, "That's believable. Lu Hao is arrogant and hates the emperor. It's normal not to deal with the Zhu family. But I see you, you seem to care about these things? You don't look very happy."

Cui Xuanji wanted to say it, but couldn't find a suitable one.Lu Hao had no choice but to persuade her not to care about it: "After all, it's just the words of a pedantic idiot."

However, when she went outside and was about to go back, another group of people gathered at the door because the Habayashi Army had taken Lu Xuan away.These people are obviously not the idiots they were before, they just stood at the door and stared at Cui Xuanji with cold eyes full of contempt.Cui Xuanji got on his horse and left without saying a word.

The next day when she returned to the palace, it was her duty day.Walking from the camp to the outside of the hall, I happened to meet Cui Yi coming out.Seeing her, Cui Yi smiled and patted her on the shoulder before leaving.She went in, paid homage to the emperor, and then began to get along with her in the usual silence.Occasionally, Feng Zihuan could be heard flipping the melodies.Cui Xuanji stood there wandering in thought, recalling the stories of ancient battles, such as Shang Yang who rose up in vain, Xiao He and Han Xin.What is loyalty to the king?After all, the king is just one person, and the courtier is just one person. One person is loyal to another person, not because of people, can it be all because of the so-called Dao?If idols {90} do not really exist, how can they generate such deep emotions and be loyal to the emperor to the end regardless of danger?

She looked at Feng Zihuan, and happened to find that Feng Zihuan was also looking at her.

"Xuanji."

"exist."

"I've worked hard for you these past few days. I don't think you look well, but are you sick?" Feng Zihuan put down the ink brush, stood up and walked towards Cui Xuanji.The documents on the case were left waiting for the ink to dry before being sent to Cui Yi.

"No. I just..."

"Ok?"

Cui Xuanji was hesitating whether to speak or not, Feng Zihuan said: "You don't need to hide anything from me, just say what you have to say."

What I want to tell you most is that I can't tell you. Apart from that, I actually have nothing to hide from you. This is not a smart way at all, and it can't even be called a way of being loyal to the emperor. It is just a clumsy way of treating your sweetheart wishfully.

Cui Xuanji told the truth about being insulted for several days, because the vocabulary used by the other party was not offensive, so she did not embellish it too much.Seeing that Feng Zihuan's expression became more serious as she listened, she began to make amends. She said that it was a misunderstanding and was instigated by some people, but it was not worth criticizing. Don't act too hastily, Xu Tu advances slowly."

Feng Zihuan looked at Cui Xuanji, but Cui Xuanji didn't look up.

After hearing all this, Feng Zihuan was somewhat satisfied and also dissatisfied.She is satisfied that the reaction of the pedantic family is as she expected, and with the interrogation results of those idiots in the prison reported by Tingwei, she is even more satisfied. Her plan can be realized smoothly, even better than expected.But Cui Xuanji was very dissatisfied with embarrassing Cui Xuanji like this.It had been a long time since she had felt this feeling as if someone had broken her beloved.Every time she has this dissatisfaction, she wants revenge; her mother told her several times when she was a child, but she is still the same.Cui Xuanji himself didn't complain, and just compromised, so what's the matter with persuading himself?

Why does it sound like it's my fault?

"Don't worry, I won't act too hastily, I will show both kindness and power." She said, Cui Xuanji was still bent over and arched his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have another word."

"speak."

"Many people are extremely proud, dissatisfied with their innocence and implicated. Your Majesty must be careful when handling this."

Feng Zihuan fell silent.

"According to what you mean, among the people Lu Mao confessed to, some of them are not guilty?"

"I……"

"Ting Wei will interrogate, Cui Xiang will review, and I will deal with it impartially. Think about it for yourself, in this world, how long has there been a person who is completely innocent and innocent? If the guilty is punished, he is the wise king. Xuan Ji, you say so , Do you think I will not be impartial, or do you think I am not wise enough?"

She was angry because she blamed the problems of this world on the corruption and power of the clan in her heart.In her eyes, these aristocratic families are like mummy corpses that have been dead for many years. They are so dry that they will shatter when touched, but they still hold on to the power tightly in their hands, and the rancid smell spreads to the power.Being so angry and uttering serious things that she has never said to Cui Xuanji is also because in her heart she regards Cui Xuanji as her fellow man, as a companion, a comrade in arms, a right arm that she has to choose but can rely on, Cui Xuanji should understand her, but at this moment Cui Xuanji said such words.

However, the moment Cui Xuanji knelt down and said "Don't dare", she still felt a little distressed.

Forget it, she doesn't want to do this, and neither do I.We are working towards the same goal.That's her nature, and you know it.

"Get up." Cui Xuanji didn't move, "I don't blame you." Cui Xuanji was still talking about forgiveness, Feng Zihuan didn't bother to listen, and went up to help her up himself. "I don't blame you for what I said, but how many times do you want me to say it?" Cui Xuanji lowered his head and did not look directly at her, "Go sit down, you have been tired for several days, you should rest."

Both of them sat down in their seats, Fengzi Huanfang said: "Tingwei's interrogation is basically finished, and the file will come up tomorrow, and I will read it with Cui Xiang. And, I just agreed with Cui Xiang that a one-month Afterwards, a family meeting will be held by the lakeside of Houhu Lake, and the collected criminal evidence will be made public at that time, so that they can all come to see and judge for themselves." Feng Zihuan smiled, "At that time, I will arrange someone to take the evidence to the public. The crimes are all written on the white silk. Anyone who deserves a reward for the white silk, please take the white silk home and hang it up, as an example to others. Xuanji—"

She glanced at Cui Xuanji, and found that this guy still had his head down.

"exist."

"I followed your advice and intentionally killed their vigor. Who knew Zisong, an idiot and arrogant brother from the Lu family, would give me such a big gift?"

She waited for Cui Xuanji to answer, Cui Xuanji said flatly: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

That's it.

Feng Zihuan asked her if the strain on her body was better, and talked about teaching, training, and even the weather and seasonal fruits and vegetables.Cui Xuanji did not respond positively, but was indifferent.Feng Zihuan had nothing to do today, although he was a little depressed, he still wanted to make Cui Xuanji happy.So he took Cui Xuanji to Hualin Garden for a walk, and brought Qin and Xiao to complement her.

She didn't know that Cui Xuanji felt even more bitter sitting there, just because she casually said "I haven't played the piano for a long time, before when I played the piano, Xianzhi played the harp".She just felt a long-lost gentleness enveloping her whole body, because the tune Cui Xuanji played was melodious and gentle, as if full of yearning.

She asked Cui Xuanji, who made this song?Cui Xuanji said it was Jiang Yuan, but did not say that Jiang Yuan made it for Cui Yi at the front.

Of course, I didn't say it was blown to her.
