Luo Zhang didn't pay much attention to these civil servants. These are a group of people who follow the trend of others. When nothing happens, they say hello to me. Hello everyone. When something happens, they run far away. What's more, they have a relationship with you before. They are very good friends, but after you have an accident, they step on your feet. There are many such people, not without them.
So whether there is such a person, they are not as happy as the military attachés, and they don't have so many evil thoughts. That's why Luo Zhang doesn't want to get involved with civil servants. If Gao Yang didn't like Luo Zhang wearing civilian uniforms, he would have killed him long ago. I don’t know where my civil service uniform was lost.
Not long after waiting outside the imperial city, the city gate opened, and a group of people lined up to enter the Tai Chi Hall. They greeted His Majesty respectfully, and everyone sat down in civil and military positions.
Luo Zhang, who was in good spirits today, did not sleep again, but looked around to see what Changsun Wuji's face looked like. After all, in the imperial study room yesterday, Dou Huaian revealed the fourth and sixth elders of the Changsun family. Collaborators and traitors.
Changsun Wuji said at that time that he would give an explanation to His Majesty. I wonder what happened now, whether those two elders were killed by Changsun Wuji himself.
After a while, Luo Zhang found the old guy Changsun Wuji, but this old guy was really deep in the city, and there was nothing going on from his expression.
At this time, Li Junxian, the commander of the Secret Service, came out to announce: "Your Majesty, Dou Jing and Dou Jian of the Dou family... colluded with the Goguryeo people to steal and sell Luoyang's grain and grass to promote agriculture. After investigation, it was found to be true. They collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. The evidence is conclusive, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Junxian's words attracted everyone's attention. Although this matter had been discussed outside the imperial city, it was only a rumor and could not be confirmed. Now that Li Junxian was reporting it in the main hall, it was basically a certainty. Unexpectedly, the behemoth Dou family would have such an ending, which is more or less embarrassing. Of course, they would not cause trouble, otherwise it would be more than worth the gain to be suspected by His Majesty!
When Li Shimin heard Li Junxian's report, he glanced at the people below, focusing on Changsun Wuji and Luo Zhang, but mostly looking at Changsun Wuji. The meaning was more or less a warning. This time Let your eldest grandson go, I hope you respect yourself.
Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin, who have been ministers for many years, naturally understood the meaning in Li Shimin's eyes. They sighed in their hearts and nodded to His Majesty, as if to tell His Majesty that he had fulfilled his promise and cleaned up the cancer of the Changsun family, and would not do it again in the future. There is such a thing.
Seeing Chang Sun Wuji nod, Li Shimin looked away and said: "Dou Jing, Dou Jian... Dou Huai'an... beheaded! Let the Ministry of Punishment approve it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace took a breath. It seems that His Majesty is really angry this time. According to the punishment of the doctor, most of the cases are demoted to Qiongzhou or Yazhou, but this time it is not the case. It didn't work anymore, but directly executed him, which made many people stay silent. After all, without the doctor's protection, they would probably follow Dou Jing's footsteps if they committed a crime in the future. How could they not be allowed to do this? Frightened.
Luo Zhang doesn't feel anything about this. He is not qualified yet, so naturally he doesn't feel the same as others. Even if he reaches that qualification, Luo Zhang will not do that. With his system, he does not need to do that kind of collusion with the enemy and his country. You can make a lot of money just by doing it, it’s completely unnecessary.
The Minister of Punishment came out to accept the promise, and bowed down with Li Junxian.
After this incident, the rest of the matter was ordinary. Many people were absent-minded. They were obviously worried. Perhaps they were thinking about whether something in their own family had violated His Majesty's bottom line. They hurriedly dealt with the problem after returning home. In this way There are quite a few people, which shows that the Tang Dynasty is not monolithic.
After the court meeting ended and they left the imperial city, many people left in a hurry, without even taking the time to greet people they knew before.
Luo Zhang looked a little funny, shook his head, and followed Wu Shaobin on horseback.
Three days passed by in a flash. On this day, Luo Zhang did not have to go to court. Instead, he got up early and rushed to Dongshikou. Today, Dou Jing, Dou Jian, Dou Huai'an and others will be executed at Dongshikou. How could Luo Zhang not join in such a lively event? Although he had been assassinated many times, he had never seen the beheading. I wonder if the executioner was as described in the book, with big muscles and a round waist, a red scarf on his head, and a hand in his hand. Holding a machete and swinging it down, the head would roll to the ground with a click. Wild dogs would come forward to lick it, or someone would dip steamed buns in the blood and eat them. These legends attracted Luo Zhang to watch. .
By the time Luo Zhang reached Dongshikou on horseback, the place was already crowded with people, almost a sea of people. He couldn't see the edge at a glance, and he didn't know where so many people came from. They were all so interested in beheading.
Just as Luo Zhang was about to find a better place to stay, he saw someone waving to him from an attic in front of him.
Luo Zhang looked up and saw who was waving if it wasn't King Wei. Looking at the attic again, Luo Zhang patted his head and cursed himself for being so stupid. Isn't that attic the same as Yanlailou? Yanlailou is him. Yes, you still have to find a place for farts to stay. Yanlai Tower is the best place to watch it. It is high and close. You can also eat and drink while watching the beheading. How comfortable.
Riding on horseback, Luo Zhang came to Yanlai Tower. Today's Yanlai Tower was the same as the situation outside. It was also full. Like Luo Zhang, many people came here for the terrain. Just order a table of food and you can Watching the destruction of the Dou family here, and then having a lofty talk and expressing your own opinions can be considered a bit of a mood.
After going up to the third floor and walking into the private room specially prepared for King Wei, he saw King Wei holding a glass of grape wine and drinking it leisurely. Two maids were waiting around him. He really knew how to enjoy himself.
It is said that since King Wei earned a huge amount of money from Luo Zhang, he seems to have become less concerned about fighting for the throne. In his opinion, his father works so hard every day and has so little time to rest. , it’s really not interesting, it’s not as good as him, enjoying wine and food every day, surrounded by beautiful women, it seems that being a prince like this is also a good choice.
If Li Tai's thoughts were known to Luo Zhang, he would probably laugh or cry. He was responsible for this. If it hadn't been for him, Li Tai would not have lost his fighting spirit, let alone live a life of drunkenness and dreams. But this way Well, at least it was good to Li Tai. You must know that in history, Li Tai was killed because he failed in the fight for the throne. Perhaps this choice will make Li Tai safe and happy for the rest of his life.
"Luo Zhang, why are you here so late and you are still looking around? I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Li Tai turned around and gestured to Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang walked to the rocking chair next to Li Tai and lay down. The maid on the side quickly poured a glass of grape wine for Luo Zhang. Looking at the somewhat turbid grape wine in his hand, Luo Zhang curled his lips, wondering about his egg-breaking system. When can we break out some wine so that King Wei can see what real wine is? This grape wine is nothing more than impure grape juice.
After taking a sip of grape wine, Luo Zhang rocked and rocked on the rocking chair. Unexpectedly, King Wei brought all these things to Yanlai Tower. He lay here and looked down. It was really comfortable. He really knew how to enjoy it.
"How is the situation? When will it start?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Come on, look at that high platform, which is used for beheading people from the Dou family. We can basically see clearly from here. This is the best position. I have already asked them to keep it. Look how thoughtful I am!" Li Tai said proudly.
"As for other positions, don't tell me that there is no increase in price. If you don't increase the price, you won't be Li Tai!" Luo Zhang joked.
"Hahaha, you know me, Luo Zhangye, you guessed it right. If you don't spend a hundred taels of silver on every table in the Yanlai Building, there will be no place for them. The private room requires at least a thousand taels of silver to enter. As for the good location, , then it’s even more expensive, at least three thousand taels, it looks like my business is doing pretty well.” Li Tai smiled even more happily.
Luo Zhang secretly admired that Li Tai was also a marketing master. This would at least increase Yanlailou's income today by at least three or four times. Yanlailou's usual income was tens of thousands taels, and he was afraid that he would be able to do it in just one day. Receiving one hundred thousand taels is a huge number. You know, this is just one day.
Of course, this is also related to the person who was beheaded today. This is the Dou family, the former owner of Yanlailou. The former owner was beheaded, so it is not surprising that everyone comes to Yanlailou to watch the fun.
