Chapter 122

Regarding Situ Ye's dignified living in the Xieyang Palace, Situ is really optimistic, but to the outside world, Su Hailing used the excuse of missing his lover who died young, and happened to meet this distant relative of Situ's family who looked exactly like Situ Ye, so he first accepted him into the palace and prepared Then directly participate in the draft.

Naturally, no one objected to this reason. The minister was afraid that the empress would not like any of them. After all, the blood of the Dayong royal family was too thin. It would be better if they married more and had more children!
Situ Ye didn't care that he couldn't use his own name and identity. All he wanted was a wife who loved him and loved him. What status would he care about?
But a few days later, when Su Hailing stepped into the Xieyang Hall again, his forehead was covered with black lines.

I saw that the flowers that had already bloomed in the original garden were gone, the soil was dug up to a mess, and several maids and servants were busy planting strange flowers and plants.

Su Hailing stepped forward, pulled out the man who was having fun pointing fingers, and said angrily and amusingly, "What are you doing? You're making yourself look like a mud monkey."

"Those attendants are so stupid, they almost killed my purple golden grass!" Situ Ye said dissatisfiedly, rolled his eyes, grabbed her sleeves, and smiled flatteringly, "Hailing Can you send me some medical girls from the Imperial Hospital?"

Su Hailing was startled, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was a good idea.

Although she always called out quack doctors, she also knew that Situ Ye's medical skills were rare in the world as the successor of the evil doctor Shangguan Xuanji. Perhaps... it would not be a bad idea to send some female doctors to him.Although Situ Ye wanted them to take care of his precious medicinal materials, they could still learn something, which was much better than following the old women in the imperial hospital!

"How is it?" Situ Ye clung to her, no matter whether it was in broad daylight or in public.

"It depends on your performance." Su Hailing said with a half-smile.

"How do you want me to behave?" Situ Ye smiled seductively, resting his head on her shoulder, and exhaled warm breath on her ear.

The maid in the garden blushed and turned her head away.

This Mr. Situ... How is he like the quiet and elegant princess Zhengjun in the rumors?Really... I don't understand a bit of reserve...

Su Hailing patted his forehead, with an annoyed look on his face, why did he forget, Situ Fox doesn't know what it means to be shy...

"You haven't said it yet, how do you want me to 'behave'? Huh?" Situ Ye's voice was very low, especially the last ending was slightly upturned, and it sounded like a kitten's paw scratching in his heart. Like, a tickling feeling.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, a call came from not far away.

"Ignore him!" Situ Ye raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Zixin stood at the intersection, hesitating for a while.

His Majesty seems to love the new servant very much, will he be scolded for disturbing him in the past at this time?But... this matter has to be reported...

"Zixin, come here." Su Hailing called lightly.

Situ Ye curled his lips, threw her away, and ran into the flowers again, pointing the little waiters to plant herbs.

Zixin quickly walked over in small steps, knelt down and said, "Zixin greets Your Majesty."

"Get up." Su Hailing was talking, but he didn't look at him, his eyes still fell on Situ Ye, "What's the matter?"

"There is a Miss Murong Zi who is asking to see His Majesty with the gold medal bestowed by the imperial court." Zi Xin quickly replied.

Although that lady does not have an official position, she has a gold medal in her hand, especially her aura, apart from Her Majesty, no one else can match her!
"Murong Zi is back? Where is she?" Su Hailing heaved a sigh of relief.

It has been three days since Murong Zi went to look for her and Haoyue, and there was no news. She was worried, but she finally came back!

"In the side hall of Zichen Palace." Zixin said.

"Situ, I'm leaving first!" Su Hailing said loudly.

"Next time I'll poison you to death!" Situ Ye roared angrily, making everyone around him turn pale with fright.This new servant really dares to say it!

"As long as you are willing!" Su Hailing laughed, and added as he walked, "Remember ordinary poison is useless to me, don't waste things!"

Situ Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and went away depressed alone.

It's all Mu Qingchen's fault, it's not fun to make her an invulnerable body for nothing!
But... she didn't call herself "Zhen", which means that even if she ascended to the throne, she is still the same Su Hailing, and she has never changed in her bones.

Su Hailing didn't think about it that much, she just thought that she called herself "I" and let them call her name "Hailing" instead of a cold "Your Majesty", that's the way lovers get along.

Even in this feudal era where women are superior to men, she still retains a trace of modern consciousness in her soul.Well...it's really only a trace, because she couldn't bear to give up any of those men.

Back at Zichen Palace, Murong Zi had already drank two cups of tea, seeing her coming in, she had a gloomy expression on her face: "Your Majesty is in a good mood."

"Of course I'm in a good mood." Su Hailing smiled, waved his hand to make all the attendants retreat, and said solemnly, "How is it?"

"I have already brought back the Xie Xie Sword that His Majesty lost, but it is not convenient to carry it with me. It has been handed over to Haoyue." Murong Zi said.

"Oh?" Su Hailing smiled, "It seems that your trip went well."

"It went well, but..." Murong Zi smiled wryly, "Phantom Shadow Sect probably did it on purpose."

"How to say?" Su Hailing frowned.

"When I got there, I saw Shui Li passed out on the ground, with the Executioner Sword next to him, and no one else." Murong Zi said.

"What?" Su Hailing was stunned, feeling as if his punch had nowhere to exert force in the cotton pile, which was very uncomfortable.

After a while, she asked: "Since there is no fight, what have you been doing these three days?"

"I've exhausted all my methods, but that Shui Li just can't wake up, obviously neither poisoned nor acupressure, the whole person seems to be in a deep sleep, there is no abnormality." Murong Zi said.

"You haven't been studying this for three days, have you?" Su Hailing said, not believing it himself.

Murong Zi is not a Bodhisattva of kindness, so she doesn't care about the life and death of a mere Shui Li.

"How is it possible?" Sure enough, Murong Zi raised his eyebrows and said, "I put Shui Li in the capital sub-helm of the Wu Nian Sword Sect, he is too weird, if he is sent to the palace, he will be in big trouble if something happens. As for these three days, I received a message and rushed to investigate."

"What news?" Su Hailing's heart tightened, and he felt intuitively that the following words were the main purpose of Murong Zi's coming to see her today, and what was just now was just incidental.

"What is the biggest disaster in summer?" Murong Zi asked suddenly.

Su Hailing was stunned, and replied casually: "Flood, typhoon."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she stood up abruptly, and shouted: "But there is a problem with the spring flood?"

"That's right." Murong Zi said solemnly, "This year's flood may be severe."

"The lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River have been affected by floods over the years, and dams have been built every year." Su Hailing pondered.

"The news I got is related to this." Murong Zi said, "If the dam is not made of bluestone, but sand... what will happen?"

Su Hailing's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"This matter involves too much. Neither Haiyue Mountain Villa, Wu Nian Sword Sect, nor Xuanming Palace's forces can spread the news to the capital. I only accidentally rescued a river worker on the way back. All the people were hunted down, and she was the only one who survived by chance, but because she had no money, she was hungry and passed out on the road." Murong Zi said.

"I see." Su Hailing's face sank like water, it seems... the southern officialdom should also undergo a big cleaning, and deal with those moths properly!Hmm, it seems that the book I saw at Situ Fox's yesterday was not bad?

At the same time, the Yinxian county government.

Although Yin County is only a small county, it is located at the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River. Whenever the Xiangjiang River floods every year, it is here that it will suffer first.Therefore, the river defense of Yin County has always been the top priority.

Mei Junhan sneaked into the county government office very easily, and knocked out all the government servants he encountered along the way, and then put them away in their original positions. From a distance, it seemed that they were still standing guard dutifully.

With his martial arts, he managed to control the entire county government in just one cup of tea, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart.It's ironic that the majestic Xuanming Palace Master should be reduced to attacking these little people...

Mei Junhan shook his head, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and opened the door of the study openly.

"Who?" The two people inside were startled and stood up together.

"The county magistrate is really diligent and caring for the people. He still doesn't rest at such a late hour." Mei Jun walked in with a cold smile, found a chair and sat down, as leisurely as if she was in her own home.

"How did you come in?" The middle-aged woman dressed as a teacher shouted, "Come here! There are assassins! Come here!"

Mei Junhan's bright eyes outside her veil stared at her coldly, allowing her to yell.The county yamen said whether it was big or small, but the master's screams without any internal energy would definitely not be heard from the outside.

"You... who are you? What's your purpose?" Seeing the silence outside, the county magistrate was more courageous and asked tremblingly.My God, this masked man in black is the legendary "Assassin", right?

"You don't need to know who I am. The purpose is very simple." Mei Junhan changed his sitting position and said lazily.

"Please let the hero express it clearly." The county magistrate accompanied him with a smile.

"I want the account book for repairing rivers and embankments this year." Mei Junhan said, seeing that she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and added lightly, "It's not the one you presented to the court."

"This...is the account book." The county magistrate's expression changed drastically, and he replied cautiously.

"I thought you were smarter." Mei Jun smiled coldly, took out a book from her arms, turned a page, and threw it into the master's arms, "Read!"

The master was stunned for a moment, but this was her profession. Although she was afraid in her heart, she calmed down a lot when she picked up the book, but as soon as his gaze fell on the page, his face turned pale.

"Read it!" Mei Junhan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes." The master took a peek at him, swallowed, and said in a harsh voice, "Piercing the heart with a stick: choose a round-headed stake, the sharp one is easy to cause quick death, the prisoner's pain time is too short, and the round head can Minimize the damage to the organs. After penetrating into the body, it will not penetrate or shatter the organs. It will only cause the organs to be crowded into a pile, translocated or deviated. During the execution, the prisoner lies flat on the ground with his stomach facing down, with both hands The legs are separated and fixed by the executioner, and the arms are fixed on the ground with small pickets, or tied behind the back, and the stake is inserted into the body through the anus. After the stake is inserted [-] to [-] centimeters, the stake can be erected. Get up and insert it into the hole made in advance. The process of death like this is particularly long, and the prisoner endures indescribable pain. The key to this method of execution is that there is no need for the executioner to intervene. It sinks down little by little, and the stake continues to go deeper until it passes through the mouth. It may take several days for a prisoner to die. In many cases, this type of prisoner often has to endure Torture for more than several days. During the execution process, kapok is also used to beat all parts of the body, so that the wooden stake can pass through the mouth. In addition to the prisoner's own resistance, the wooden stake itself also determines the length of the death process... ..."

Before finishing the reading, there was a "gudong" sound from the side, but it was the county magistrate who foamed at the mouth and passed out.

"It's really boring, so you fainted from fright?" Mei Junhan snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on the master again.

"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life!" The master was not much better than the county magistrate, and he looked like he would faint from fright at any time.

Although Mei Junhan disdained it, she thought that it would be troublesome if both of them fainted. Anyway, she was scared enough, so she took out a warm jade pendant from her bosom: "Hey, do you recognize this?"

"Nine, nine phoenixes!" The master had a ghostly expression on his face, and it took him a while to realize that he kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, "See the imperial envoy!"

"It's easy if you know this thing." Mei Junhan turned the jade pendant casually without telling her to get up.

This jade pendant is really useful, no wonder that woman would secretly stuff it into his purse.Imperial envoy?He is an evil monster, so it would be quite interesting to pretend to be an imperial envoy.

When the master saw that he was playing with this Jiufeng Pei who was second only to Yuxi like this, and called it "this thing", he was no less frightened than he was just now.

"You don't need to explain." Mei Junhan raised his hand to stop what she was about to say, and said casually, "Evaporating the river treatment funds, replacing bluestone with sand and casting flood control dams, if it causes floods in the Xiangjiang River, hundreds of thousands of people will be displaced , This is not something a small county magistrate can afford. Tell me! Whose order is it?"

"Yes Yes……"

"Let's talk about it, the big deal is death, don't tell me..." Mei Junhan casually pointed to the book thrown at his feet, "It just happened to make you the first tester of this criminal code, maybe you can still get it because of it." And strive to leave a name in history?"

"No, no, I said I said, it's His Royal Highness King An!" The master shouted before he could finish speaking.Just kidding, who wants to leave a name in history like this?

"King An?" Mei Junhan was startled, but his face remained calm, "Do you know what crime is for framing the royal family?"

King An... It seems that at that time, King An insisted on leaving Beijing regardless of the situation in the capital, not only because he wanted to win over Marshal Lan Jing.But she is missing now, and no one can tell how much power there is behind the scenes.

"Every word of the villain is true, there is absolutely no falsehood!" The master hastily assured.

"Then I'll go to confront King An." Mei Junhan smiled lightly, and walked away, only a word came in the wind, "If what happened tonight makes me hear something outside..."

"Gudong!" The master fell headlong, but once he relaxed from the high tension, he immediately fell into a coma.

The night wind came in through the open door, and the pages of the book on the ground rattled. Just when the cover page was exposed, there were four bold and unrestrained characters: Holy Dynasty Criminal Code.There is also a line of small characters next to it: Compiled by Situ Ye.
