In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), February 20th, at 3:00 noon.

The old Du family house on Jinhua Avenue is busy, with crowds of people, and the house searches are in full swing. The yamen runners are all professional, not missing any corners, even carefully checking the toilet, gathering property in the yard, and more than a dozen clerks count and bookkeeping.

The bodyguard brought the Grand Master's chair, and Wu Kang crossed his legs and bathed in the afternoon sun comfortably. Six dog-legged mentors Lao Su, two directors and three participated in the military. Lao Su is a private aide, and the other five are direct subordinates of the recorder.

Jiang Daniu just reported that all the male members of the Du family, male slaves, were beheaded and abandoned by the market, regardless of age. This was an act of extermination, and no one collected their bodies. Wu Kang was kind-hearted and ordered the prison chief Lao Qin to take him to the mass grave on Beiyangshan Mountain to bury him.

In the open space in front of the Grand Master's Chair, the Du family members knelt in groups, lowered their heads and shed tears. There were a few good looks, and the pear blossoms were sympathetic to the rain. Wu Kang thought for a moment and ordered Zhao Lushi: "They dare not escape, go loosen their ties, and take them off as well."

Zhao Lushi Yingnuo left and found a yamen runner to carry out the execution. Wu Kang stood up and came to the front row of the female family. He coughed twice and was about to speak. Jiang Daniu came into sight. Old Jiang smiled at the chrysanthemums with his face, and two clerks followed. The four bad guys carried Hu bed and placed two big boxes on it.

The table was placed on the ground, and the big cow smiled and opened the box carefully. The jewelry was filled with eyes, and all kinds of jewelry were high-end, elegant and high-end. This was interesting. Wu Kang took a step to look at it: made of pure gold, the seven gems were in the shape of plum blossoms, and the size of a quail egg in the middle was crystal clear sapphire.

The so-called Buyao is the highest-ranking jewellery industry, inlaid with precious gems and various fancy decorations. When worn on the head, every step you take, it will stagger on it, so it is named Buyao. Among the concubines in the harem, only the queen is qualified to wear it. The one in front of you is quite valuable, and the Du family is quite generous.

The big bull yelled and shouted at the top of his voice: "This Bu Yao looks familiar. Oh, remember, isn't this one lost by Nine Lady? A few years ago, the maid from Nine Lady reported the case and said that she lost the Qibao Bu Yao, it's this one! Sanjiao, did you think so? You were there at that time."

"Ah? Yes, I'm here too." The drama artist also exclaimed and said indignantly: "Damn Du family, how dare you steal the governor's mansion? Oh my god! Fortunately, the sky has eyes and returns the jade to Zhao, so we can also get the job."

Zhao Lushi quickly winked, and the clerk quickly flipped the account book and picked up the pen to cross the seven treasures. Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything. Since you want to practice acting skills, I will accompany you to the end. He picked up a jade bracelet and played with it seriously.

The big bull quickly shouted: "This was lost by Mrs. Ruyan, so I'll report it to me."

The account book was flipped again, and the clerk waved his pen and crossed off the Hetian white jade bracelet.

Wu Kang pulled out the treasure chest and dug out a rectangular wooden box. After opening it, he was stunned and there was a heavy breathing sound around him. Three light green round gems were regular spheres and the size of an egg.

The military officer, the old man from the military, muttered to his ears, thinking that it might be the Night Pearl. Wu Kang became interested, so he put the box in front of him and slowly closed the lid. Through the gap, he really emitted a faint green light. It was really the Night Pearl. Legend has it that this thing is a special fluorite?

I carefully recall my mind and retrieve fluorite information. Fluorite mines are very common in later generations, and their formation is related to volcanic eruptions and are widely used as decorations. I remember that a certain archaeological program unearthed antlers carved by fluorite. Experts say it was a decoration of the Hemudu people in the Neolithic Age, but I don’t know whether it is true or false. Experts also say that the so-called night pearl is a special fluorite.

Wu Kang looked up information for this to understand the history of fluorite. The ancient Egyptians used it to make statues, while the Romans used it to make wine glasses and vases, which were popular among the superior nobles.

I had a roommate in college who had a fluorite mine at home and talked about the effects of fluorite. For example, making camera lenses, various concave and convex lenses, making exquisite crafts, catalysts for steelmaking, etc.

When I recalled this, my pupils were tightened. My roommate was from Wuyi County, Jinhua City, that is, Yongkang County, Wuzhou. It’s interesting. Does this acre of three-point land have a fluorite ore layer?

If there is really, we will definitely make a fortune. We are not too ambitious and do not consider various lenses. We can make steel, right? We can carve crafts, right?

As the saying goes, if you have food at home, you are not panic. If you have mines in your jurisdiction, your official robes will change. Minerals are leading enterprises, driving economic growth, and promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

I found time to hook up with Lao Wei and sent a mining official from Shiya to Yongkang County to explore. The more I fantasized, the more excited I became. Seeing the big guy’s eyes shining, I consciously searched for the account book and crossed out the three night pearls.

Wu Kang came to his senses and saw that they were full of greed and saliva was flowing out. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was embarrassed.

He coughed twice, put the jade bracelet and night pearl all back to the treasure chest. Close the lid of the treasure chest, tapped the fingers rhythmically, releasing the righteous spirit and scanning everyone sharply.

The dogs were dumbfounded and quickly bowed their heads in shame. The big bull flattered: "Mr. Wu is honest and honest, and his gentle and elegant style is comparable to that of the governor Cui. He is indeed a model of ours. All the Du family responsibilities should be accepted for confiscation of the Cangya, and his subordinates are impressed and convinced..."

“One Hundred Pushups”

The big bull was stunned and saw that the big guy was murderous intent. He was so scared that he shrank his neck. He quickly found a place to lie down and did push-ups several times. Xu Sanjiao whined in a while, quickly covered his mouth and gloated at the big bull. You are a shabby guy, don’t flatter, just slap the horse’s legs.

Wu Kang was full of righteousness, knocking on the treasure chest with his fingers, his eyes locked at the scholar. The latter felt murderous aura, and his eyes couldn't stop dodging, and he kept shouting for help in his heart. The murderous aura became stronger and stronger, and the scholar's forehead was sweating. What's wrong with the boss?

Suddenly, my head buzzed, and seemed to be thinking of something. I threw the pen in my hand on the ground and quickly flipped the account book. The "tearing" sounded seven times, and seven bills were torn off. Put the account book in my arms, tear the bills apart, and stuffed them into my mouth.

The wrist was caught, Wu Kang snatched the paper ball and stuffed it into his pocket. He patted the clerk's shoulder and said, "You guy has a future, and you will follow the boss in the future, and you will be very popular and have a hot drink. Turning to look at Zhao Lushi, he said lightly: "The mouse is so annoying. You bite everything, and the box where you store books at home has been bitten."

Zhao Lushi instantly straightened his back and issued an order to the clerk: "You two, find a few more people to send these two broken boxes to Wu Gong Mansion. They are all a little bite. If the mouse bites the official document, can you bear it?"

Hula more than a dozen people shouted and raised the treasure chest. Wu Kang thought of something and called to stop, opened the lid of the box, took out a golden hairpin. He put his palms on his palms and weighed them, and nodded with satisfaction. He opened the Night Pearl box again, took one and let the palms go, signaling the servant to leave.

After Jiang Daniu finished push-ups, he licked his face and came up. Wu Kang glanced at him, handed the golden hairpin and Ye Mingzhu over, and lowered his voice and ordered: "Leave the things to the scholar, he knows what to do."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will definitely send it to Qinniang." The words came to an abrupt end. The big bull was sweating like rain, and he wished he could slap his mouth. The creepy eyes forced him, and after a while, he said with a bitter face: "It was the scholar who said drunk, it's not my business... Don't worry, it was only us at that time."

Wu Kang's face was warm, and he took the golden hairpin and night pearl, called Xu Sanjiao over, and whispered: "You go to the company and leave it to the scholar to handle it. If you bring another message, all his bonuses will be deducted this year. Let him surround Wuzhou City and run three laps, and you will supervise it yourself. Don't be idle, do another hundred push-ups."

Jiang Daniu Sheng was unlucky and looked for no one to accept punishment. Xu Sanjiao also felt bitter. Killing the scholar of Qiandao, what did you do to implicate Naiweng and run with him.

After sending the two of them away, Zhang Lushi hurried over and presented thick documents. Wu Kang checked page by page and found that it was the Du family's land deed and the household deed. Looking through more than 20 photos, he finally smiled. It was really tens of millions of fertile land. The land deeds below were all illegally merged by the Du family, and the contracts were signed.

He handed over the Du family to Zhang Shenjun to confiscate him. He sat on the chair again for about half a quarter of an hour. Finally, he found Xu Erniu and called Jiang Daniu over. Seeing the signature, Daniu understood what was going on, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he turned around and left directly.

Put the rest of the land deeds in your pocket and think about how to deal with it. Eating alone is unrealistic, and sharing the same thing with your colleagues is not suitable, and returning the goods to the original owner is not suitable. After thinking carefully for a long time, I decided to become a big landlord first. The original land deeds will be a tenant first, and will be returned to you in batches within two years.

Zhang Lushi brought the account book and reported the ceremony: "Wu Gongrong reported that the Du family's property has been investigated. Please check it out."

After taking the account book, I couldn't help but laugh. Everyone said that the family is worth a lot of money, how much is the huge room? I was envious. I shook my head disdain and suddenly heard someone outside the hospital shouting: "I am a member of the military service, and I have official business meeting with Wu to join the army, why should I stop it?"

He scolded him for being righteous and yelled so loudly, who would like to listen? Wu Kang sneered, this old fox must be bad. I'm afraid that he couldn't stop him, so he ordered Lao Liu to join the military and move a chair with the Grand Master.

In less than three minutes, Lao Sun rushed over angrily. When he made his courtesy, Wu Kang greeted him with a smile, greeted him and sat down, and laughed: "Don't be angry, Lao Sun, your subordinates are ignorant, I will teach them a lesson later. Oh, by the way, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't tell lies in front of the real person." Lao Sun swept the boxes around him and said disdainfully: "Erlang, you also know the rules. The property collected by the Du family must be registered and reported to the court. Copper coins and cloth are handed over to the prefecture warehouse for confiscation, and cattle, horses and livestock are handed over to the warehouse."

Wu Kang agreed and complimented first. He opened the account book seriously: "The ox, horse and livestock are counting, and the results are soon released. The copper coin and cloth counting was completed, and there were 851 silos and 420 silos of copper coins; 430 pieces of silk, 102 pieces of silk, and 55 pieces of high-quality silk."

What about sending the beggar? The largest gentry in Wuzhou is just copying such a little thing? Old Sun sat upright and persuaded him with great sincerity: "Erlang, you can't become fat in one bite. Don't talk about this data, not to mention my uncle, Gong Cui and the court do not believe it. Don't be too ugly in your food."

Wu Kang thought about it for a moment, felt something was right, and rolled his eyes and smiled, "Sorry, uncle, you know, I didn't sleep well yesterday. I'll take a closer look... The copper coins I checked this time have a total of 1,851 guan, I won't say anything."

Sun Mao said two more hehe, like a smart old fox, lowering his voice and smiling: "Didn't sleep well last night? I think I was sleeping soundly. About ten days ago, a couple in the north of the city separated and came to the household registration department to register. The owner of the household seemed to be surnamed Xu, and his name was Niu Lai. Do you have any impression of Erlang?"

Wu Kangden was dumbfounded, "You old fox, you shameless, right?" He resisted the impulse to slap him, and smiled and said nothing: "Uncle is joking. Household registration is the business of the household yamen, so I certainly have no impression of it. Let's take a look, and search for a total of 3,851 stags of copper coins. 530 pieces of silk, 202 pieces of silk, and 80 pieces of high-quality silk."

Sun Mao still had the same face as if he deserved a beating and laughed: "Uncle heard that because Lu Liuniang, Miss Jiu demolished your house? We are not angry, and I am afraid that the Ninth Lady of the Cui family will hide when I see her. My uncle didn't expect that Erlang and Cao Mengde have a common hobby."

"I said Lao Sun, it's almost enough." Wu Kang's nose was crooked and he stood up and screamed.

Lao Sun was not afraid, and sat firmly on Diaoyutai and leisurely stroked his beard.

Wu Kang took a deep breath and looked at the Du family's female family. His eyes turned and he laughed and said, "Old Sun, what do you mean? I accuse me of being corrupt? Although we are very familiar with each other, I will still sue you for slander! Besides, I will care about the Du family's cow hair in a quarter of an hour? Take the account book!"

Sun Maomei smiled and reached out to take the account book. Wu Kang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is no free lunch in the world... Let's do this, I want the Du family's wife and concubine household registration, and the maid's slave household registration."

Sun Mao was really surprised with such a weird request. After a moment of disgusting face, "This is no problem. As long as Erlang can eat it, my uncle will give it to you."

Lao Sun took the account book and continued in his arms: "But Erlang, don't go too far. The Du family's 98 female relatives were beaten to officials and maids to allocate to the warehouse. You should stop at the right time. If too many are left, Sun will have an objection."

This makes sense, and Wu Kang also knows the importance of the matter. At this moment, he also understands that the money for the house search cannot be corruption. There is water in the big river and the river is full. If the big river is corruption, it will make it difficult for his colleagues to live, and it will definitely attract jealousy and the loss will not be worth the loss.

Thinking about this, I respectfully sent Sun Mao away. I ordered the bad guys to guard the gate, and Zhao Lao Su ordered: "Go and notify the three guards of the Faya, go to Shengshi Company again, and gather the single dogs. I said that this official will give me the benefits for February, and each person will give one to his wife."

Lao Su was confused on the spot. What kind of dog is a single dog and what is a wife? When I got the explanation, I was confused again. I understood the boss's meaning and went happily.

Wu Kang came to the female family and changed into a gentle tone: "Get up, raise your head."

The girls were very well-behaved, and Wu Kang inspected them one by one, and the quality was still there. After a moment of consideration, he said lightly: "The Du family colluded with Princess Gaoyang to rebel, and has been punished by the Ming Zhengpai. You are enrolled as slaves, either becoming an official maid or a sect. You should understand what an official maid is an official maid!"

The team sobbed in an instant, all of which were pressing down on their voices. The so-called official maids are officials with slaves, which are more pitiful than private ones. According to Wukang, most of the official maids in Wuzhou are concentrated in the warehouse and engaged in high-strength physical labor, such as raising silkworms, weaving, planting official fields, etc. They are not full or warm in food, no one cares about illness, and the mortality rate is very high.

If the official maid is physical torture, the Jiaofang is mental torture. The Jiaofang is official prostitute, who is dedicated to the prostitute who serves officials. When wealthy families are confiscated, their wives, concubines, daughters, including female slaves and female servants, will be infiltrated into the Jiaofang and become official prostitutes.

This kind of cheating institution was founded by Guan Zhong, Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and went through the entire feudal society. It was not abolished until the Qing Dynasty. Taking Wuzhou Jiaofang as the saying goes, most of them went to Jiaofang to receive foreign officials or colleagues, and the beauties were accompanied and they were completely free.

Wu Kang secretly thought that everyone wanted to be an official, and there were reasons for this. The officials of the Tang Dynasty had very good benefits. His eighth-rank official had a salary of 37 jin per year, which was an ordinary person’s income for half his life. There were also 250 acres of land, which the country allowed you to plant for free and did not collect any land rent.

In addition to material treatment, there are also privileged treatments. Officials above the ninth rank can use money to atone for their sins. Those below the abdication include flogging, cannon and imprisonment, and clearly priced copper. Officials above the seventh rank can also spend money to atone for their sins committed by their immediate relatives.

When the crying sounded weakened, Wu Kang's mind returned to the point: "I have thirty people under my command, but I have not married for various reasons, or my first wife has passed away and lived in a widowhood. When they come over, they will choose from you and hire them as wives."

This is a life-saving straw, and the crying disappeared in an instant. Wu Kang continued, "You heard it right, you are the wife of the Ming media. As long as you are chosen by my brother, you will be granted the status of a good man and marry my brothers. Of course, if the person being chosen does not agree, I will not force you."

The last sentence is nonsense. Only the fool disagrees with the sea of ​​suffering. Zhang Lushi came over and whispered softly: "Wu Gongrong, if this is inconsistent with the law, it will be unfavorable to you!"

Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything. As a judicial officer, he knew that this was a criminal act. However, I did too many criminal acts, so there was no need to worry. The officialdom in Wuzhou was solid and basically had no political enemies. Even if there were, he would not make a fuss about this matter. Most of the officials had done it.

Zhang Lushi stopped talking, went to communicate with bad guards, dispersed the idle people, and strictly guarded the gate. After about half an hour, the single dog came. When he learned about the welfare of the boss, he jumped and jumped and cheered, and bowed to the boss.

They have a huge reputation, and bad guys, yamen runners, and prison guards are all targets of scolding. The daughters of normal families will not marry them unless they have to. What surprised him was that there were no bodyguards among the single dogs, and their predecessors were all rascals.

Qian Shun quietly came over to relieve his doubts for the boss. Since Shengshi Security was established and the thugs were incorporated, they have a legitimate job and their salary is still very high. In this case, the waters rose immediately, and more than a dozen single dogs were engaged.

When Lao Sun's people arrived, the blind date began. The first single dog was lucky and chose the Du family's legitimate daughter, but still had no place. But the boy was so happy that he pulled the woman to give a big gift.

Wu Kang smiled and was impressed and asked the clerk to pick the household registration and set the fire to destroy it. The household yamen staff took the pen, re-edited the household registration, and built the seal of the household yamen. The lucky lady became someone else's bride and came from hell to the world.

Wu Kang is very pleased, and his gratitude is the cornerstone of his foothold. If you join the military in the new judicial system, if you sing a counter-topic, I will undermine you. Master Bai Yang said that it only takes ten acres of land to conquer the hearts of the people, plus a wife. It is almost the same to conquer the lower-level officials...
