The capital city in winter is still bustling, and the oxcarts and pedestrians traveling on the road are obviously faster.
The biting cold wind penetrated through the clothes, which was really painful.
At the gate of Daihou Mansion, Jian Qu had just gotten off the bullock cart. Although he was wearing a large cloak and warm deerskin boots, he still subconsciously gathered his clothes and walked quickly towards the steps as soon as he got off the car.
Cen Rubai, who happened to be going out, saw the relaxed look on his face, so he guessed what the master had told him, and he was afraid that he would solve it well.
"Brother Jian, have you heard the latest news in the capital?" Cen Rubai asked casually, thinking of the news he had found out and thinking that Jian Quyin was Marshal Qian's old aide and had some connections in the capital.
Unexpectedly, Jian Qu actually heard about it, and his expression became solemn: "You mean, there is a coup in Yingguo? It is said that the third son of the king killed the prime minister, and now it has become a tyrant. It seems that it will become a coup soon. King."
"The princes in the court are really quarreling." Cen Rubai sighed: "They allowed this news to spread."
"It probably has something to do with the fact that this matter has little to do with Dazheng." Jian Qu said.
But does it really matter?
The two looked at each other and knew what was going on.
Any country, border country, even a small country, cannot have nothing to do with regime changes.
After all, it is considered to be on the side of the bed. Originally, it was surrender, so that's it. But the king has been changed and the policy has changed. Who knows whether it will cause some trouble for itself?
What's more, this is not an ordinary change in the political situation, but a direct coup. Dazheng is a "big country in the Central Plains" and has had contacts with neighboring small countries in the past. If he doesn't send people to take a look and take some measures at this time, other things will happen. Countries will follow suit one after another, will it be a big deal then?
Compared with the coup, it was the uncontrollability that made Dazheng most dissatisfied.
Cen Rubai had heard some rumors from the public before, saying that some ministers were still angry when they went to court. Apparently they had a fierce quarrel with others in the court.
On Jian Qu's side, while dealing with the gangster matter, he was chatting with acquaintances. During the chat, he heard about what happened in the court.
Regardless of whether it was the former dynasty or Dazheng, only officials with real power of the fourth rank and above could come to the dynasty to discuss affairs. Dukes, counts, and kings needed the emperor's permission to have this qualification.
Su Zi was granted the title of Marquis not long ago, and he had no real power. Although the Marquis could go to court, because the emperor did not have the will, he could only control the situation in the palace instead of visiting the court in person.
"Everyone is clamoring about how to deal with this matter?" In the study, Su Ziji, who had just listened to Cen Rubai's report, flexed his fingers and tapped the table lightly.
"It's not unusual for a coup to happen in a small border country, but I suddenly have a feeling that it may have something to do with me."
This feeling is very subtle. As the [Panlong Mind Technique] continues to upgrade, Su Ziji will easily feel it when encountering something that has something to do with him. Although it may only be a flash of inspiration, it is enough.
"Although I don't know if it is the force behind this matter or what it has to do with me, this matter still needs to be watched."
With this thought in mind, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Lord, I am Jian Qu." came Jian Qu's voice.
"Mr. Jian, come in and talk." Su Ziji closed the book he hadn't read much and said.
Jian Qu pushed the door open and came in from the outside. Since there was a brazier in the house and the temperature was not low, he saluted Su Ziji and was about to speak when Su Ziji motioned for him to take off his cloak first.
Jian Qu smiled and took off his cloak. Su Ziji ordered someone to bring hot tea before letting him continue to report the matter.
After taking a sip of hot tea, his whole body felt warm, and Jian Qu felt warm in his heart. When he mentioned what he was going to do, his expression became a little cold.
"My lord, I have already taken care of the matter regarding the local ruffians."
"Oh? So fast?" Su Ziji was really interested in this and motioned for Jian Qu to explain carefully.
Jian Qu did this matter beautifully and was willing to show it off in front of his lord: "I did not directly negotiate with the local gangsters, but found out their origins and sent people to visit their clan leaders."
"Those local gangsters can give up their lives if they want money, but most of their families are law-abiding people with property and families, so they will take their lives."
At this point, Jian Qu showed a cold expression and asked Su Ziji to nod.
Due to the legal concept of modern society, one person is responsible for every crime, and it rarely affects the family, so time-travelers rarely think of this.
But this is not modern.
It is law and justice to harm the whole family and family.
"These ruffians have offended the Lord, and I will report this matter to their clan leader."
"You are a prince when you first get the title, and you will inevitably become one of the kings in the future. Offending the prince, let alone ordinary people, is a big deal for even a powerful person!"
"I sent someone to tell them. Within a day, because they were worried that these ruffians would harm the family, their entire family took action to deal with them one by one."
"Some thought of their family ties and even had their legs broken when given a chance, so that they would not be able to go out for at least a year and a half. As for those who were unfilial and wanted to resist, they directly held a clan meeting, and their parents personally discussed the matter. Sink them in the pond."
Su Ziji nodded repeatedly. It was said that a general of a certain dynasty was almost drowned by his parents because he was disobedient.
Children can be beaten if they are unfilial, but what if it might harm the whole family, Shen Tang.
There are so many arrogant people in the country. If it is a child, it is 100% likely that he will become mute one day and sink in the evening. He will still be his own father and mother.
"My child, don't blame your parents. My temple is small and cannot accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you."
The extermination of relatives for the sake of justice is fully demonstrated here. Because the family is greater than the country, the sense of sacred sacrifice is stronger.
Speaking of this, Jian Qu couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, I also complained that in some places the clan rules are far higher than the law and the clan is powerful, but I have to say that it is precisely because of this that we can succeed in this matter. It was resolved so quickly.”
It can be seen that some things are really hard to say whether they are good or bad. It just depends on how to use them.
"Well done!" Su Ziji was very satisfied after hearing this.
Jian Qu did this properly.
The reason why local gangsters dare to do that is simply because of their behavior. According to the law, they can be detained for a day or two at most, or even locked up directly, and they will be criticized as being bullied by the restaurant.
But allowing their clan leaders to use clan rules to punish these people is a matter within their own clan, whether it is the former dynasty or Dazheng, it is a matter of course.
Even in the capital city, if the clan leader issued a message and sent a clan member to the pond for being unfilial, the government could not intervene at all and could only turn a blind eye.
And these local ruffians ended up like this. Without affecting the Daihou Mansion, they not only solved the trouble, but also shocked people, letting outsiders know that the Daihou Mansion is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated at will.
Now that this incident has passed, I am afraid that if the people behind the scenes want to use similar tactics to continue causing trouble, they will not be able to do so.
"Mr. Jian, you have done a good job on this matter. Go down and rest first. You need to worry more about the exchange of calligraphy and paintings." Su Ziji said and asked Jian Qu to go down and rest.
"Sir, can I come in?" Not long after Jian Qu left, a wild Taoist voice came from outside the door.
When Su Ziji came in, the wild Taoist came in. Although there were only two of them in the room, he was still afraid that the partition had ears, so he whispered in front of Su Ziji: "My lord, what you asked me to do is almost done."
"Very good, the next step is to make people aware of this matter."
