The rise of the prince

Chapter 436 Clue Points
"Don't you laugh at me, sir?"

"What's so funny, it's not easy for everyone to live. It's true that you want to live a better life. Who doesn't want to." Mr. Fang said: "I just hope that you can really live a good life in the capital as you think."

Sun Huan nodded: "I am not as clever as my husband, I can only do rough and tiring things, but I am not afraid of hardships and tiredness, I can handle these things, I will do whatever the prince asks me to do, and I can always stay here for a long time .But sir, in my opinion, the prince is not a person who accepts good words, sir, you need to think more about yourself, don't offend the prince."

"Haha." Mr. Fang smiled, and raised his glass to drink with Sun Huan: "I appreciate your kindness, you are a real person, so I hope to live a good life, but there are always some fools in this world who like to think wildly, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals. I know I'm stupid, but I don't know how to let go, I don't know how to think, I only know how to be stupid to the end." He shook his head while talking, as if he was talking to himself or mocking himself.

"The person who can set up a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the sages, and bring peace to all ages, must be the fools these Mr. Fang have said throughout the ages."

Li Xingzhou was grilling skewers in the yard. He Qian's face was flushed by the red charcoal fire, just to keep out the cold. Wang Ke, Xie Linjiang, Wang Tong, and Shen Lin were sitting on the table next to him from the inner hall. They were drinking and talking, The small yard is also lively.

After they knew that He Qian was He Zhao's daughter, they didn't dare to be negligent. Except for Xie Linjiang's first entry into the officialdom, Shen Lin, Wang Ke and Wang Tong could understand He Zhao's weight.

Kaiyuan Fu Yin, when the prince was in charge, he was the first rank, above Pingzhangshi and the privy envoy.

But now Pingzhang Degong under Tong Zhongshumen is old, and the privy envoy Zhong Daoyu is even more so. In this way, it is almost certain that He Zhao will be the next prime minister.

Even Wang Tong, as the son of the current prime minister, dare not neglect He Zhao.

Xie Linjiang still had a sad expression on his face, but Wang Ke's expression was unexpectedly good today, and he was no longer frowning like before.

Li Xingzhou put the grilled mutton skewers over and pulled He Qian to sit next to him. Generally speaking, women are not allowed to sit at the same table on such occasions, but he didn't care. Just let go.

Several people were slightly surprised, but they didn't dare to say much in front of King Pingnan.

"Why is Mrs. Wang Ke so happy? Didn't you have a sad face before?" Li Xingzhou asked after drinking for three rounds.

Wang Ke looked slightly embarrassed, then cupped her hands and said: "Your Highness was joking, but before he stepped down from office, he really didn't have eyes to see Mount Tai, and he didn't know that His Highness had good intentions."

He Qian was taken aback for a while, and when he glanced at him, Li Xingzhou was also surprised that Wang Ke's attitude changed so quickly, and it's only been a few days.

Seeing his expression, Wang Ke said in embarrassment: "The next few days, according to what the lord said, I have arrested many petty thieves who committed minor crimes. They did not report their crimes first, but interrogated them first. As a result of the first trial, five out of ten had criminals in their hands. The case!"

As soon as these words came out, several people present were very surprised.

Xie Linjiang said: "Is there such a thing?"

Wang Ke nodded: "That's true. In the past few days alone, nearly half of the most wanted criminals have been caught, and some of them have no criminal records, and they also confessed their previous crimes!
It's just that the lower officials really don't understand why they can follow the vines to find the big villains by catching these little villains. I'm afraid the prince has already made up his mind for such an arrangement. "

As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, several people looked at him in surprise. Li Xingzhou smiled. It was impossible for him to explain to these people from psychological concepts, but he didn't expect the effect to be so quick and obvious.

Early yesterday morning, he had just received a letter from the Empress of Beijing. He said it was a letter from the Empress's family, but Li Xingzhou knew that what was in it was what the Emperor wanted to say.

The reason why it was written as a family letter was because the emperor was still protecting him. If it was an imperial edict, then all the people in the court would have participated in his voice.This means that there is not much time left for him.
"Most people are good-hearted. The reason why they do evil is that the current environment makes them have to do it. Small chaos can naturally be done from the bottom up as Wang Ke said. But the situation in Jiangzhou is different. Jiangzhou is in great chaos, spreading across a wide range, and can only be bottom-up. If the people abide by the law and discipline, those who are already bad in nature and have long been accustomed to breaking the law will not be able to change, and they will be exposed naturally." Li Xingzhou Explaining while eating the meat skewers, hoping to fool the past.

Wang Ke cupped his hands: "Your Highness is brilliant, he still opposed it repeatedly before he stepped down, now thinking about it, he is really short-sighted and ignorant."

"Hahaha, Judge Wang, don't worry about it." Wang Tong interrupted: "The sage said, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good even if it is small. King Pingnan's move is to save the world and benefit the people with small kindness. The words of the sage are really insightful.

Look at the scholars outside, they are all full of articles, but they have forgotten their original intentions. Even if they laugh at King Pingnan and my government again, what is Jiangzhou like now?Not to mention not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things on the road, it has only been two months, and now at least it is orderly, with few violations of law and discipline, which is a world of difference from before. "

"I see, so it is." Wang Ke nodded, and seemed to think that what Wang Tong said was reasonable.

Li Xingzhou holding his forehead, two nerds.
Then he asked him what he was interested in: "Did Master Wang find anything from them?" The order at the bottom of Jiangzhou returned, but in the end the cancer had to be removed. Recently, he slowly inquired about some rumors in restaurants, tea shops, and fireworks. But little was gained.Of course, going to the place of fireworks is also for work.

Wang Ke arched his hands and said, "My lord, I have indeed found out a lot of useful information, but the most useful one is a place called the Riverside Building by the ferry."

"Riverside building?" Several people leaned over curiously.

Wang Ke nodded: "According to many prisoners, they only need to go to the riverside building on the first seven days of each month.

Ask the person in charge at the front desk, 'Is there any Shanxi Sanjiao tea', but the shopkeeper doesn't speak, and then asks 'Is there any live fish caught in Guazhou'.

At this time, the shopkeeper said, "No, only the Jiangzhou net catchers", and said, "It's two or six dollars a catty, and I have to go to the thorns and skins." Head tax', within one month, even if you commit a crime, you will be safe, and you can come out of the prison! "

Several people listened intently, Wang Tong became angrier the more he listened, and finally his face flushed red: "This is unreasonable! This is what the king's law is, and what is my official residence! This official sent someone to arrest him and ransacked the riverside building."

Li Xingzhou waved his hand: "Don't be impatient at the magistrate Wang's house. If you have the ability to get people out, it means that there are people from the government behind them. If you act rashly, you will only startle the snake. By the time your men arrive, I'm afraid the building will be empty." .”

"This..." Wang Tong was speechless.

Li Xingzhou said: "Anyway, don't spread the word tonight. Mr. Wang Ke will continue to interrogate. Those who come out of the interrogation should not be allowed to go out and leak the news."

He thought for a while and then ordered: "Since the people who were in the prison of the Yamen before can go out, it means that the Yamen is not safe. From now on, everyone will be handed over to the Xiang Army to take care of them. If they are arrested, they will be taken directly to the Xiang Army camp outside the city for interrogation. As for the expenses , paid out from the accounting room in my mansion."

Shen Lin hurriedly said: "I respect your order."

Li Xingzhou had a hunch in his heart that the pot was not small, and he didn't know how many people would be brought in.
