Chapter 744 Seven-day deadline
Xie Yuan dismounted, bowed his hands respectfully to Lord Ting Wei and said:

"My lord, isn't the new law prohibiting the private suicide of slaves? These people were caught by me outside the West Mountain, and they wanted to bury them alive and kill the extra concubines. I brought them back for you, and troubled Lord Tingwei." Let's close this case."

Ting Wei Zhou Changgeng knew Xie Yuan's position in Shen Liuzhen's heart, even though Xie Yuan's position was not as high as his, he couldn't control him.

But because of Shen Liuzhen, he was very happy to satisfy Shen Shizhong's fiancée... fiancee...

However, he didn't dare to do it alone.

So he stepped over the corpses with his official clothes on, walked to Xie Yuan's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Does Shen Shizhong know about this? Does he mean the same thing?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, Dan Feng raised his eyes and asked:

"What's the matter? But what's the problem? Your Majesty has made up his mind to rectify the chaos. Isn't it enough to punish according to the law?"

Zhou Changgeng glanced at Bu Liugu Zhuyun on the horse beside him, and saw her staring at them intently with a pair of eyes, as if very curious.So he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, took Xie Yuan far away, and said in a low voice:
"That being said, Your Majesty did not give a deadline. The law will not take effect until seven days later. This is not it, this is the first day... According to the logic, they killed these people now, It’s not even a crime.”

When Xie Yuan heard this, he became angry instantly. His pair of red phoenix eyes were full of power, looking at Zhou Changgeng in front of him.

She gritted her teeth, looked at the dead bodies buried alive on the ground, and thought of their various postures before dying in the pit... She was extremely unwilling.

But she also knew that Lord Ting Wei could not be blamed for this, so she pinched her waist with both hands, walked a little anxiously for two steps, then quickly walked back to her horse, and got on the horse.

While pulling the reins and turning the horse's head, she said to Zhou Changgeng, the stunned officer on the ground:

"I'll go back and discuss with Shen Shizhong. Please order a severe punishment from His Majesty. During this period, I also ask Mr. Tingwei to protect the witnesses."

After saying that, he kicked the horse in the stomach, took the lead, and led the people to roar past.

Zhou Changgeng looked at the tragic battle at the door, most of the dead were young women more than 20 years old, there were mixed beards and Han people.Most of them are Han people, and there are all kinds of miserable appearances. He couldn't help sighing...

……

……

Xie Yuan led the people all the way back to Shen's mansion, just turned over and got off the horse, when he saw Bu Liugu Zhuyun at the side, looking at her pitifully.

Xie Yuan's eyes moved to her, and he saw that she was wearing a gorgeous Hu suit, but she was covered with a lot of mud, and her broken fingers had been cleaned up, and each finger was carefully wrapped with cloth strips, looking a bit Ridiculous and kind of cute.

The anxiety and guilt in Xie Yuan's heart involuntarily increased, and then he looked at her and said gently:

"Do you want to go in and wash your face and change your clothes before going back?"

Bu Liugu Zhuyun was afraid that Xie Yuan would drive her away, but when she heard that, she immediately laughed and agreed happily:

"Yeah."

Xie Yuan still had a cold face. He looked away and threw the whip in his hand to the soldier Zhao Nianyou, and walked straight inside.

Bu Liugu Zhuyun followed closely behind, as happy as eating candy.

"I have something to discuss with Shen Shizhong. I don't have time to accompany you. You can go back after washing and changing your clothes." Xie Yuan said.

When Bu Liugu Zhuyun heard this, he pouted and was a little unhappy, but felt that he had been squatting for several days with great difficulty, and the time we spent together today was quite long, so he should be content.

So he quickly put on a smiling face, showing the tip of the red gums on his white teeth, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, you go to work, I will listen to you."

Xie Yuan couldn't help but glanced at her, smiled for the first time, handed Bu Liugu to the woman in the yard, then left quickly, and went to her and Shen Liuzhen's yard.

Shen Liuzhen was very busy these few days, busy sending agents to investigate and track the movements of various mansions in Pingcheng, so that after seven days, when the law began to be enforced, he could really catch a few people who were obedient and disobedient, so as to set the record straight.

Laws are easy to enact, but rarely are they actually enforced, but any ambiguity or disorder can turn the well-established law into a dead letter

At this time, there were many small notes and files on his desk, and he had to use a pen to record some information in the books from time to time.

When Xie Yuan came over, she happened to pass by the window. Her footsteps were fast, with wind in her walk, and her figure flashed past the window almost smoothly.

Shen Liuzhen was clasping his wide sleeves, and in the other hand he was writing furiously on the booklet with a Langhao pen. When he felt the shadow in front of him flicker, he knew it was Xie Yuan who had returned.

So he quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the door behind the screen... Sure enough, Xie Yuan walked in without taking two breaths, covered in dust and cold.

As soon as he entered the door, he called out: "Liu Zhen."

Seeing that she was covered in dirt, Shen Liuzhen didn't look like she had gone for a walk, but rather rolled in the ground, so she immediately answered the question and asked:

"What's the matter, A Yuan? Who challenged you to fight again?"

"No..." Xie Yuan sat down on the other side of the desk with dull anger, put his hands on the armrests of the chairs on both sides naturally, leaned back, and asked with a domineering action, "I heard Ting Wei said that punishments are imposed seven days after the law, so what if someone intensifies the killing of slaves during this period?"

Shen Liuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Xie Yuan said might not be a trivial matter, so he put the Langhao pen in his hand firmly on the pen holder, and asked:
"You met, whose family is it?"

"A general surnamed Dugu, I heard that he was a lieutenant of the Western Central Army outside the city. There were more than 30 women in total. They changed all the valuable clothes on their bodies, and dug a pit on the west mountain to bury them alive. I found out, hurry up They rushed to dig people out, and only saved seven or eight people! The corpses were alive, and the witnesses and evidences were sent to Tingwei Mansion when I came."

When Xie Yuan said this, his voice was low because of anger, but it was still calm.

Shen Liuzhen's eyes turned, and he looked at Xie Yuan's fingers on the back of the chair. He saw that her nails were obviously injured due to picking up dirt, and there was still some dirt hidden in the crevices of her nails...

When he looked at Xie Yuan again, his distressed expression flashed past, and then he pursed his rosy lips.

But he didn't say much about it, but stood up directly from behind the desk, walked out, and said:
"I'm going into the palace to discuss with His Majesty."

He knows that Xie Yuan is impatient, and at times like this, it is most in line with her wishes to immediately resolve the matters she cares about. If there are a few more nonsense words about her, she will only dislike his long-winded words trouble.

But Xie Yuan turned his head and looked at Shen Liuzhen who was going out... I really felt very comfortable...
