Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

"The fairy was captured. Did you do it?"

"Chijie, this is none of our business. We didn't even leave the house tonight."

In the darkness, a man wearing a Yaksha mask, his expression could not be seen, he was just silent.

Since it wasn't done by his subordinates, who could it be?

Could it be that this was just a play directed and performed by the other party?

"Could it be? The people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families kidnapped him?" A woman wearing a fox mask guessed.

The Yaksha man shook his head: "The Five Surnames and Seven Families won't, they don't know our actions at all."

"But we have stayed in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and we still haven't found the jade talisman. King Gao Zang will blame us."

The dog-head masked man said helplessly: "There is no way to blame them. Who told them not to do a clean job back then and leave this disaster behind."

"Without the jade talisman, King Gao Zang's ascension to the throne is always illegitimate."

"How is the domestic war now?"

"The Tang army is like a god descending from heaven. Even if we secretly transmit military messages, the Tang Dynasty still beats us back step by step."

"If King Gao Zang didn't have the jade talisman, if he had it, he could mobilize all the troops. The small Tang Dynasty would not be a threat."

The fox masked woman asked weakly: "Really, small?"

"......"

The Yaksha masked man sat in his seat, he closed his eyes and thought about countermeasures.

Now, his identity may have been discovered by Di Renjie, how to protect himself is the key.

As for the survival of Goguryeo, he didn't care at all.

He just took the money to do the job.

He was thinking about how to get out of this unscathed.

After being a bad guy for more than ten years, it's time to turn over a new leaf and start a new life.

......

More than 230 scholars were arrested in Chang'an, which was not as exaggerated as the origin of Luoyang.

Of course, more than 60 scholars died directly on the scene.

The emperor was angry, and millions of corpses were buried.

How many people died? If Li Zhi hadn't tried hard to control his emotions, he would probably let Wu Meiniang let Qianniuwei kill all the scholars.

"Zitong, that's enough."

Wu Meiniang's facial muscles were twitching, and she stared at the group of scholars kneeling on the ground!

Li Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, walked up to the scholar and asked, "Who ordered you?"

A scholar was unconvinced and very stubborn. He shouted angrily, "You kill people at will, is there still any law?"

Li Zhi snorted coldly, "Law? I am the law!"

"?" I'm so angry! It's over, it's a big deal this time.

There is only one person in the world who dares to call himself "I", and others don't dare to mention that word at all.

"Saint, spare me! We were bewitched by the Five Surnames and Seven Famous and came here to make trouble."

"That's right, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families promised to give us benefits after the matter was accomplished, so we worked for them."

In order to reduce their own guilt, they directly confessed the mastermind, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous, and even exaggerated it.

I just hope that the court will not punish them. After all, they are not the masterminds. They were just bewitched because they were too young and made a fool of themselves.

Woo woo woo, we are just children, are you cruel to punish us?

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes: "What benefits did they promise to give you?"

"Wealth, land, and official positions."

Oh, the Five Surnames and Seven Families are really awesome, not the royal family, but better than the royal family.

In fact, these verbal promises are undoubtedly just a big pie, and only simple scholars believe it. The Five Surnames and Seven Families really don't have that much power.

Moreover, who knows whether they promised like this?

Whether you believe it or not, Li Zhi believed it anyway.

Originally, the Five Surnames and Seven Families didn't want to make such a big fuss, but just wanted to punish Song Zhen a little, give him a taste of color, and let him know that our families are not easy to mess with.

However, under the instigation of the dog-headed military advisor Lu Wei, they became more and more bold.

But they are still very principled, just let you make trouble, use public opinion to suppress, let Song Zhen lose his reputation, and don't let you smash and destroy.

Except for the first night, when Song Zhen instigated and smashed Huichunfang, they were very honest at other times.

Then the question is, people's hearts cannot be controlled.

Which scholar doesn't want to perform better, so as to be appreciated by the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles, get their protection, and even have the opportunity to marry the daughter of the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles.

So, gradually, the Five Surnames and Seven Nobles found out sadly that they were out of control.

Just like modern traffic stars, they want to play the fan circle, instigate fans to vent their anger for their idols, like locusts passing through, and finally make trouble on the official blog.

Song Zhen said, playing the fan circle? Sorry, I am a person who came 1,400 years later, and I am better at playing with people's hearts than you.

Let's firstYou guys can run rampant for a while. Anyway, the government office is your people, and I can't control it.

The most critical factor is that the Five Surnames and Seven Families really care about their reputation. They dare not refuse at all. If they refuse, their reputation is likely to be damaged.

If they don't make a decision, they will suffer from the chaos. Don't they understand this truth? Or is it that the court is still unable to control it as usual, which gives them courage?

Originally, they could stop making trouble for a few days, but as more and more scholars joined, they couldn't make up their minds to refuse. Sooner or later, something would happen.

Look, isn't this day coming?

Luoyang created a fight and riot, causing two women in the imperial palace to disappear, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

The warriors in Chang'an were even more outrageous, and even had a direct conflict with the emperor and empress.

On the carriage, Wu Meiniang threw herself into Li Zhi's arms: "Woo, woo, woo, your majesty, I can't stand this grievance."

Li Zhi touched the red mark on her forehead with heartache. It seems that she fell hard just now.

Wu Meiniang said with a gloomy look: "Your Majesty, let's adopt Song Zhen's suggestion."

"You mean? The political review system?"

"The Five Surnames and Seven Families are too arrogant this time. Today they can incite the scholars of the world, and tomorrow they can incite the people of the world." Wu Meiniang sat up and said fiercely, "Your Majesty, if you don't let those scholars feel the pain, they will never understand who has the final say in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi's face sank and he nodded.

......

That night, Li Zhi avoided the ministers and secretly summoned the Qianniu Guards around him. He wrote a handwritten edict and asked the eunuchs to copy 360 copies and stamp them, and sent them to various prefectures overnight.

Require the governors of all places to immediately arrest the scholars who made trouble in Huichunfang.

If they shielded them, the whole family would be killed!

The lives of these scholars who were arrested and brought to justice were ruined, and Li Zhi officially used the political review system proposed by Song Zhen.

In short, the court classified this incident as a criminal offense, not a simple civil offense.

As long as you participate in this riot, no matter how many times, once verified, you will not be able to register for the imperial examination in this life. Whether it will affect future generations depends on Li Zhi's mood.

The court will not imprison you or fine you, but your bad behavior will be recorded.

Because all this is your own fault.

It is conceivable that if the group of scholars knew that this was the consequence, what would they think? What would they do?

The Li Tang family wants to make the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families stand on the opposite side of the scholars in the world!

Your families are indeed prosperous, and they are large and powerful, with so much land and population in their hands.

I won't attack you first, because you are still useful.

But I will cut your licking dogs first! Let them know what pain is.

Moreover, I will only punish your licking dogs and deliberately not punish you. Let's see how people in the world view the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families?

Cut off the wings first, then the body.

Tonight, too many things happened.

First, the elders of the first, second, and third branches of the Northern Ancestor of the Fanyang Lu family jointly issued a statement to kick the lineage of Lu Wei, the fifth branch of the Northern Ancestor, out of the family tree.

Immediately afterwards, the three families of the Taiyuan Wang family jointly issued a statement, announcing that they would voluntarily withdraw from the Five Surnames and Seven Families and no longer form an alliance with them.

Then, led by the Hedong Pei family, they united with the Jingzhao Wei family, the Hedong Liu family, the Hedong Xue family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Jingzhao Du family and other Guanzhong gentry to formally issue a document to denounce the Five Surnames and Seven Families and list the "Ten Sins".

In an instant, the world was shocked!

The Five Surnames and Seven Families became the target of public criticism overnight.

"It's going to rain, wife, help collect the clothes!" Song Zhen shouted to Cui Mengzhu in the house.

Cui Mengzhu angrily said to him: "Did you forget that you have a family slave?"

"Yes." Song Zhen scratched his head.

Damn, the evil feudal society!

At this time, Tianxian girl came out from the side room and said with a smile: "Song Lang, let me help you."

Song Zhen was shocked and said quickly: "No, no."

"Hey, Huaiying, you came at the right time, help me collect the clothes."
