Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 283
Because, at the end and final stage of the Hundred Years Expedition, except for Tianzhu in five directions, the South China Sea Islands, Daxiao'ao, Xinzhou, Shanzhou in the south, Taixi Daqin and other vast areas outside the territory, almost all the neighboring places on the nine sides of the four barbarians were taken over by all The princes of Zhongping Fan were fully occupied.

Therefore, the Emperor Xianyuan, who had many heirs at that time, saw many foreign relatives, nobles and clan relatives, and he had no food to seal.So he racked his brains, and played a little bit of side-ball or opened a small hole in the ancestral family law that cannot be sealed in the land of Kyushu.

That is to say, outside the Eastern Land Continent, the many islands distributed between the North Sea and the South China Sea, and near the coast were treated as fiefs, and sealed to those newly promoted relatives and clans; they were regarded as kindness and holy rewards.Therefore, this batch of new lords has become a rather special existence.

It is said that they are serious vassals, but they are not comparable to those original vassals; they can crack the soil and seal a town like the ancient Xia.It is said that they are kings, but they actually own them. They are located on large and small islands and some resettled people.

Of course, in a certain sense, even the most prominent Nanhai government office in the south, and the two big and small clans separated from Guangfu and Dongning, each only owns the territories of Hainan and Dadao of Yizhou; It's just that the head of the suzerain vassal is the chief vassal of Donghai, and the princes of the South China Sea are divided into vassals;

Therefore, after the inheritance of the past dynasties, a large number of offshore island feudal dukes have been accumulated in the suzerain-vassal system of the country; The main island), while the small ones may only have a handful of small fishing villages.

Just like the son of Lu Fan who was involved this time, the mansion of Shamen Township is located on Salmon Island (Miaodao Islands) in the outer sea of ​​Penglai County, Dengzhou.Although it used to be a desolate place where birds don’t shit (in a physical sense, because the deposited guano can be sold for money), it happens to strangle the Bohai Strait.

Located at the boundary between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the situation is dangerous and there are many capes, so it has become an important shelter for many ships traveling to and from the Northeast.Coupled with the discovery and expansion of Xinzhou (Beiju Luzhou) by the Tang Dynasty in the early years, one of the waterways for transporting tribute just passed through here.

Therefore, although the Lu family's Shamenyi was just a small feudal clan at the bottom, it also caught up with the good times and received dividends, and became a rich family among the upstarts of the island feudal clan.Not only has a relationship with the Denglai Navy, which is not only close to the water, but also owns several overseas trading fleets.

But in any case, as a member of the vassal system, even the archipelago princes at the end of the discrimination chain; they are also in the state system, and have corresponding levels of immunity and preferential treatment; for example, imprisonment cannot be easily used. The interrogation must be accompanied by personnel from both houses.

However, the other party didn't even want a chance to defend himself, and just ran away; in any case, the school's face was slapped, and suspicion and guilt in a certain sense were confirmed.It also provided more sufficient evidence and reasons for Jiang Tian's follow-up actions.

So immediately after, several Jinwu Street envoys arrived one after another and reported to Jiang Tian according to the regulations.In this regard, he took the order to join in the search of various places in the Feudal Affairs Council.After all, Jiang Tian's current manpower is not enough given that the Fan Office occupies an area as large as Tongchengfang.

And Jiang Tian also brought the seized criminal evidence and captured suspects, and was entrusted by the court who did not show up throughout the whole process, entrusting Shen Yizhi as the only negotiating representative. Stationed and centered command and coordination location.

However, Jiang Tian couldn't help but be amazed by the results of the subsequent search.Although the vast majority of them have nothing to do with the clues of the case being pursued; however, there are a lot of contraband and illegal activities of all kinds that were raided.

It's like in the disturbed stagnant water, the mud rising from the sediment and the fish and shrimp scrambling to escape; Come out of the water, or lose hiding and cover again.

For example, some people actually keep fans in the dormitory for a long time, and it is shared by multiple people and shared the nature of the car.Some people secretly kept toys such as hawks and dogs, and even the young of ferocious beasts.There are also privately set up gambling places in the name of associations with the same number, and even regular gambling activities.

There are even teachers who take advantage of their identities and positions to bring and sell various prohibited items that are not allowed to enter school, and even special technicians from outside flower shops; Divided into, or regular gifts provided privately...

In contrast, hiring impostors to complete their studies and take exams on their behalf, while they spend their days and nights outside; , but rather a normal thing.

As for why, Jiang Tian can be so clear about this; the reason is also very simple.A few years ago, his predecessor was also one of the test substitutes. He not only saw the weirdness in it with his own eyes, but also participated in the underground transmission channel to other branches under the solicitation of senior seniors.

It was only later that something happened that shocked him deeply, so he had to take the initiative to leave Fan Xue; at the cost of giving up studying more than ten subjects, he temporarily got rid of a vortex of right and wrong.Although things are different now, Jiang Tian will not become magnanimous because of this.

For example, the predecessor who supported Jiang Tian back then, but did not hesitate to set up a trap and turned him into a scapegoat; At the last moment, the senior who was still being teased and applauded,
This time, Jiang Tian was also able to justify his name, and obtained the case files and the whereabouts of relevant people on the grounds of expanding the scope of the investigation.It's just that they have either returned to the mansion, or married to a foreign country, or they have become the same label as the previous "lost contact pending investigation" here.

But just these incidental right and wrong that have been uncovered, but another, somewhat shocking situation is faintly involved; that is, in the past two years alone, all kinds of normal and abnormal students leaving school and losing contact, Inadvertently, the accumulation of small amounts has reached hundreds of cases.

And in the process of tracing and searching, at least a dozen related children of the vassal family were found, and they seemed to have run away one after another after the big search started.Although not necessarily all of them are related to the current investigation, it is enough to make the school feel ashamed and lose face.

At noon the next day, with a pit and corpse accidentally dug out, a horrific murder that happened in the college was revealed in broad daylight.But it was Ke Yuzhi, the son of Qi Fan from the country of wandering ghosts (Kamchatka), who was murdered and buried under the bed.

And as the murderer, one of his former subordinates and followers, the other party even took over his identity after committing the crime, grandiosely bringing the original concubines, etc., to live and study in the feudal affairs academy for more than half a year; It was not until this search and picking operation that he was alarmed and escaped.

During this period, the counterfeit was not only quite active, but even organized an association dedicated to appreciating and identifying rare creatures from Outland.And among the few people who have been in close contact with him on a daily basis, there is the Lu Fan prince who is suspected of raising beast ghosts and is also on the run...

But in any case, once a major crime involving the princes and vassals is involved, the level of the situation is not limited to the grasp of the current court.It was only the morning of the third day after Jiang Tian entered the Academy of Feudal Affairs, the guards from Xi Neiyuan, and the cavalry team from Lifan Academy entered the academy one after another.

"Jiang Jiansi, didn't you just go up against the princes' families?" The person in charge of the team smiled and said: "The country has been in peace for a hundred years, and the feudal families that have reduced their ranks in the past dynasties are only double ten; But in your hands, first there was the Yu Fan Xiao family, then the Gaomi Hou Zeng family, and now there are Lu Fan and Qi Fan."

"Wait, what's the situation with Gaomi Hou Zeng's family?" Jiang Tian was a little confused: "This is the court's punishment and punishment, and what does it have to do with me? I haven't participated in any of them..."

"Because, a few days ago, someone produced a certificate in the court hall, proving that after Gaomi Hou Zeng was confiscated, he still didn't want to repent and had a lot of resentment!" With the income from the capital, they secretly cast a high-paying red post for buying murders. In the past, all the men below the direct line of Gaomi Hou were given to death, and the rest of their relatives went to the Qingtang Mansion."

"It never occurred to me that the superintendent is really capable. Not only did the assassin who moved after hearing the wind fail to hurt you at all, but even the place where he was hiding was swept away by the thunderbolt. Therefore, no one dared to accept this redemption in a short time. ..."

Jiang Tian couldn't help but suddenly realized that after he arrived in Dongdu, he encountered such a sudden assassination in the hot spring street, so there was such a reason and background!
