Chapter 19

After about a stick of incense time.

Wang Liang brought a few Dongchang fans to report to Zhuge Yan who was waiting outside the gate of Yinshou Prison, and said: "Eunuch, Kong Zunliang has already pleaded guilty and executed, do you have any other orders?"

Zhuge Yan glanced sideways at Wang Liang, frowned and said, "Why so long?"

Wang Liang bowed slightly, and replied truthfully: "Kong Zunliang was greedy for life and afraid of death, and struggled very hard. The slaves obeyed the father-in-law's wishes, and did not dare to let him go in too much pain, so it took some time."

Wang Liang silently glanced at Zhuge Yan, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what to do with his family?"

Zhuge Yan sighed helplessly when he heard the words, and said, "Where does he have any family members? His family members have all died long ago."

"Oh."

Wang Liang nodded silently, already having an answer in his heart.

Zhuge Yan took out an ingot of gold from his bosom, handed it to Wang Liang, and said, "Find someone to help him make a good coffin, take him out of the city and bury him."

"Yes."

Wang Liang weighed the gold in his hand, then nodded with a smile, and said, "Please don't worry, father-in-law, this servant will let him go in a good way."

Zhuge Yan heard Wang Liang's ambiguity, so he frowned and looked at him, and said in a slightly warning tone: "Kong Zunliang has served in the palace for 15 years, and he has worked hard without credit. If it weren't for him Committing a heinous crime, he will not end up like this today. The master has always treated people generously. This ingot of gold is the master's intention. When you go out to do business, you must not bring the master a bad name. If you offend the master, At that time, no one can save you."

What Zhuge Yan said was half true and half false, at least the matter of the ingot of gold was the result of his own assertion, but he believed that even if Liu Bian learned about it from others, he would not be too harsh on himself , because what I did today was actually protecting the reputation of the emperor.

Hearing this, Wang Liang immediately corrected his attitude, bowed respectfully to Zhuge Yan, and said: "Thank you for your guidance, father-in-law. I am very grateful."

Zhuge Yan nodded, glanced complicatedly in the direction of Yinshoujian, and then walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a lonely expression.

Two hours later.

Wang Liang came to report to Zhuge Yan: "The servant girl went to the birthday material store in person and bought a coffin made of high-quality pear blossom wood for Kong Zunliang. The servant girl has buried Kong Zunliang and his family outside the city. Gang, I wonder if Eunuch is satisfied with the result?"

Zhuge Yan just nodded silently, but didn't speak.

Wang Liang, Monster, just by looking at his name, one already knows what kind of person he is.

After dismissing Wang Liang casually, Zhuge Yan reported the news to Liu Bian who was sweating profusely in the martial arts arena that Kong Zunliang and his family members had been executed.

Hearing this, Liu Bian just nodded silently, then stretched out his hand to take the brocade handkerchief Zhuge Yan handed over, wiped his face casually, and immediately threw the long sword to Yu Wencheng in front of him, saying: "I will practice here first today." Bar."

"Yes."

Yu Wencheng put the long sword back into the scabbard, and left the martial arts field with Liu Bian.

After leaving the martial arts arena, Liu Bian gave Yuwen Chengdu a break, and immediately took Zhuge Yan straight to Changle Palace.

For a long time to come, Liu Bian would go to the queen's bedroom to stay overnight in his spare time.

It wasn't until one day three months later that Zhuge Yan brought him the news that Queen Nangong Junwei was pregnant, and he finally stopped going to Changle Palace to have fun with the queen.

On the first day of April, it was cloudy.

Liu Bian stood on the steps in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with his hands behind his back, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, but he was thinking about a big event in his heart.

Zhuge Yan and Wang Liang stood behind him on the left and right, silently waiting for his decision.

Liu Bian silently glanced at Yuwen Chengdu, who was standing on the side holding a knife, and picked up the criminal evidence of several prefects and chief soldiers presented by Wang Liang: Lu Ming, the chief soldier in Henan, was good at selecting officials, Qian Shen, the chief soldier in Longyou, With a different family and rich wealth, Zhao Jian, the prefect of Jiannan, forcibly occupied the people's land.

Liu Bian frowned and pondered for a long time, and then his heart was about to sway, and he said: "Immediately escort them to Beijing, and hand them over to the Three Law Departments to judge their crimes according to the law."

"Your maid obeys the decree." Wang Liang retreated in response, and hurriedly passed the decree on Liu Bian's behalf.

"Even though I can't move those big fish, could it be that I can't take care of a few small shrimps?" Liu Bian thought.

"It is passed on to me that when dealing with corrupt officials, we must do everything possible to eliminate the evil. If we chase them down to the end, we must make their descendants poor, which is in line with my wishes."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yan quickly bowed in salute and said, "Observe the order."

When the Sanfa Division heard Liu Bian's oral order from Zhuge Yan, he immediately increased the punishment of the three of them a bit, changing from the initial imprisonment and rod punishment to exile.

Liu Bian was very satisfied with the verdict, and after ordering to confiscate all the family property of the three, he announced that the case had come to an end.

This time, Wang Liang, the admiral of Dongchang, personally took people to search the homes of the three men, and finally confiscated more than [-] taels of silver from the three men's homes.

After listening to Wang Liang's report, Liu Bian was silent for a long time, then muttered to himself, "I'm getting rich."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, looked around like a thief, and saw that there was no one else in the hall except Zhuge Yan and Wang Liang, so he finally felt relieved.

Wang Liang was Liu Bian's old minister when he was still in the hidden residence, and his merits lie in his loyalty to Liu Bian and his ruthlessness. If it is only based on IQ, he is probably even qualified to carry Zhuge Yan's shoes nothing.

Wang Liang and Zhuge Yan have completely opposite styles of dealing with things. The former often gives people the impression of being cruel and ruthless, while the latter often gives people the feeling of benevolence and kindness.

People in the palace often said that Zhuge Yan was the shadow of His Majesty, and what they were talking about was his character, which also indirectly praised Liu Bian's personality and character.

After dealing with the three criminal officials, Liu Bian subconsciously looked at the attribute bar in the upper left corner of the simulator, and found that his imperial prestige attribute had suddenly been significantly improved.

Liu Bian was surprised to find that his imperial prestige attribute had increased by 30 points.

The higher the imperial prestige attribute value, the better it can deter the court officials. As long as the imperial prestige is high enough, the chances of the court officials launching a rebellion will be greatly reduced.

In fact, to put it bluntly, imperial prestige is the prestige of the emperor, and its main function is to influence the attitudes of surrounding countries, Chinese, Chinese, military officials towards the emperor.

"There's still a surprise, this time it's really a big profit." Liu Bian thought secretly.

Liu Bian stretched out his hand and tapped rhythmically on the imperial case in front of him. After a long time, he looked up at Wang Liang who was standing on one side, and said, "Order, the surveillance of the state officials can be properly strengthened." .”

"Slaves obey the order." Wang Liang bowed and saluted.

"Remember, you are not allowed to meddle in local government affairs at will. You only need to secretly monitor the officials' every move. If you let me know that you dare to meddle in local affairs, I will never forgive you lightly."

When Wang Liang heard the words, he quickly knelt down on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Liu Bian: "Even if I lend a hundred courage to my servant, my servant will not dare to disobey the master's will."
