This investigation really revealed a lot of problems. Many officials have been found guilty of serious corruption. Who would have thought that a mere warehouse manager in charge of a granary could embezzle more than 100,000 taels of silver in just four years. In the court, Honglu Temple and Sinongqing, which everyone thought were Qingshui Yamen in the past, actually harbored many moths. These people took advantage of their positions and accepted huge bribes. All this is simply shocking. As Su Li expected in advance. The group of ministers who followed Li Er to conquer the world didn't have much of a problem. As many as 70% of those who are officials from prominent families have problems. And places where powerful people are entrenched are the hardest-hit areas.
Land occupation and water conservancy violations are commonplace, which is simply outrageous! In the past few days, the execution site outside the Meridian Gate of Chang'an City has hardly been idle. The executioner beheaded people until his hands became soft, and officials below the seventh rank didn't think much of him, so they all left it to his apprentices to practice. So much so that there is an eternal spectacle of people queuing up to be decapitated! Outside the Meridian Gate, the blood flow was endless, and there were swarms of flies every day. No matter how they were driven away, it was of no use. At the local level, 923 people were killed. In every family, someone is caught and killed almost every day. After all, Su Li's main target is Wu Xing Qi Wang. Others are just passing by. For a time, the entire Tang Dynasty, from the localities to the court, was killed in blood. Some people watched indifferently, some clapped their hands and applauded, and some gritted their teeth. But no matter who it is, it is very clear. As Su Li becomes more and more ruthless, a bigger storm will come at any time. I just don’t know how Qi Wang, the fifth surname, will respond this time! Amidst the chaos outside, the Princess Mansion in Chang'an City remained as peaceful as ever. In the evening, Su Che walked on his short legs to the door of the yard where the stables were located. He stopped at the door, raised his head, and looked around. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he ducked and rushed in. At this time, Bailong was lying listlessly on the haystack.
Seeing Su Che come in, his eyes lit up, he snorted and stood up. "Shh!" Little Su Che quickly raised a finger and put it to his lips to signal Bailong to silence. Su Li has been working away from home these days. Because the Yamen is not far from the Princess Mansion, Su Li basically travels by carriage, and Bailong is free again. Su Che and Bai Long, one person and one horse, were panicking. However, recently they found a new entertainment. As little Su Che grew up, the huge princess mansion was no longer enough for him to deal with. Originally, when Su Li was around, he would take him out for a walk from time to time. But recently, Su Li has been busy, and Chang Le has a calm temperament and doesn't like to go out much, so Su Che has less and less time to go out. As the climate continues to get warmer, there are more and more people on Chang'an Street. Every day, through the high courtyard wall, listening to the sounds of various hawking faintly coming from outside, how could little Su Che be able to bear his temper? However, he was too young, and Changle did not allow him to go out alone. He wanted to sneak out, but since he often climbed trees on walls before, Changle was afraid that something would happen to him. Nowadays, the walls of the inner courtyard of the Princess Mansion are constantly being raised. Moreover, all the trees leaning against the courtyard wall were cut down. Little Su Che had no choice at all. Fortunately, he still has Bailong! Although the stable wall is also very high, the white dragon is not low either. When little Su Che discovered that he could easily reach the wall by standing on Bailong, he immediately started thinking about it. At this time every day, he would sneak to the stable, use Bailong's height to climb to the top of the wall, and then sneak out and play for an hour. When you come back, bring some pastries and fruits to Bailong as sealing money, and everything will be fine. One person and one horse quickly reached a tacit understanding. In recent days, they have been working together seamlessly, each getting what they need. Today, while Chang Le went to the palace to visit his eldest grandson Wugou (bccd), Su Che planned to go out to play again. Soon, Su Che climbed to the top of the wall, and then using the cover of the dim sky to walk on the top of the wall, he soon reached the rearmost courtyard wall. He jumped from the wall to the tree with ease, and then slipped down the trunk. Little Su Che turned his head and looked at the tall courtyard wall, a look of pride flashed in his eyes. He patted the small pocket on his body, made a jingling sound, and then walked towards the street with satisfaction.
Today's Vermillion Bird Street is much deserted than in the past. There have been so many people killed in Chang'an City recently that ordinary people are feeling insecure. The most lively place in the city is the unlucky place Niumen. Vendors setting up stalls swarmed over there, and Vermillion Bird Grand Dao seemed a bit empty. Little Su Che followed the Vermillion Bird Grand Dao and wandered back and forth twice. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the mask vendor from last time. He curled his lips in disappointment, then walked into a snack shop, planning to buy a pack of Bailong's favorite snacks and go back. "Young master, are you here to buy snacks again?" Seeing Su Che come in, a waiter came up to him and asked with a smile. Little Su Che, who was no taller than a chair, stood in front of the counter and looked up. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Why do you know me?" "The young master just came to the store today to help. The shopkeeper has something urgent to do today, so he specially asked me to treat you well if the young master comes over. Su Che nodded. He also knew that his features were very obvious and easy to identify, so there was no doubt that he was there. "Give me five kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and that candied fruit cake. I want to take them away." The waiter in the shop kept smiling on his face and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready now. Can you carry it? Do you want me to help you take it back?" The waiter's kindness was naturally rejected by Su Che. Su Li has been waiting for such a long time, and he has long known that his strength is greater than that of ordinary adults. To him, a mere ten pounds of something is no different than a piece of feather. While the waiter was preparing things, Su Che wandered around the store. Children are curious by nature, and Su Che has a restless temper. This pastry shop is a famous time-honored brand in Chang'an City. The store was very large. After wandering around for a long time, Su Che suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon. It seemed that, except for the waiter he had just met, there was no one else in the usually very busy shop. Something's wrong... Although Su Che is young, he is extremely smart. The subconscious alertness made him turn his head to look subconsciously. Immediately afterwards, he saw four strong men coming out of nowhere and walking out of the hall.
The waiter in the shop stopped what he was doing at some point. Instead, he walked to the door and closed the door. In the hands of the five people, they all held shining steel knives. .
