People were not allowed to listen to the case in the Dali Temple in Jinan. On this day, the murder and arson case that occurred in Furong Lane was heard, which was very lively outside the court.

Xia Xiangwei stood in the court, looking at the plaque "Performance in Law Enforcement" on it, remembering the ideas about legislation and justice that the teacher once said, but he still had many ambitions that he had not realized, but now he is about to be dismissed from office...

He was quite confused when he thought about his wife's future.

——Maybe you can start with your father-in-law and buy a few kilograms of good wine in the evening to ask your father-in-law to persuade his wife...

Suddenly, a grove sounded and a shout came from the hall.

"Xia Xiangwei, I will ask you again, Bai Jianzheng, are you waiting to kill Yao Bocheng?!"

Xia Xiangwei came to his senses and looked at Wang Zhu, Qin Xuance, and the shepherd beside him, feeling a little helpless.

"Sir, we did kill him."

There was a burst of exclamation outside the hall.

"Silent! Tell the murder truthfully..."

Xia Xiangwei thought of the boring words that everyone had said last night, and was really in the mood to say them, so she stood there silently.

Then I heard Qin Xuance speak vividly.

"That Bai Jianzheng, Yao Bocheng likes handsome boys. He has already kidnapped more than a dozen times and will kill them every time he finishes playing... When the Yellow River is flooded, they throw their bodies into the water and I bumped into them. That's why I beat them. I hope they can change their past mistakes, but I didn't expect that their dogs could not change their shit and did such a shameless thing that night..."

There was another burst of surprise outside the hall, and many people shouted "Oh my God".

Bai Yizhang was furious and pointed at Qin Xuance and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Show evidence for everything!"

"Evidence? I killed them just because I didn't have evidence. If I had evidence, I would report it to the official."

Another "bang" sounded like a gavel.

"Qin Xuance! I have investigated clearly. It is clear that you had a quarrel, and then the murder started suddenly. The person who came, the successor witnessed..."

When several servants of the Bai family and Yao family came up, they all pointed out that it was a quarrel between the two sides, and said that it was Bai Jianzheng and Yao Bocheng took action first.

The four of them looked at each other and understood what was going on.

——This is why Bai Yizhang has been convinced by King Jing'an and has suppressed things by supporting tax reform as a condition.

They had to admit it honestly.

Qin Xuance cursed in his heart, "Dog Killing Talent, this time he actually let Bai Yizhang knock me down", but he started talking in a daze again.

The entire court was filled with Qin Xuance's storytelling words.

"Yes. We had a quarrel over a trivial matter, so they rushed over and wanted to kill me...

Bai Jian was stabbed to death by Brother Wang. Brother Wang stabbed him a lot. I killed Yao Bocheng, and Xia Xiangwei and the shepherd set fire to the fire...

I don't want to implicate Brother Wang and the others, so I didn't recognize him at first...

The old mountain ginseng from the Li family? Where is the old mountain ginseng in the Li family? He said he didn’t, how could I steal it? Sir, don’t blame me..."

Because the four people pleaded guilty, the case was tried very smoothly.

Although the Bai family and Yao family had no intention of prosecution, and it was "Bai Jianzheng and Yao Bocheng first", the final sentence was finally sentenced to the four of them.

When the four of them heard this, they looked at each other again.

——This is different from what I said? Didn’t it mean to reflect at home?

"No... Sir, why don't I pay a little compensation for the killing of Haoge..."

"Stop it! Don't think that you are a high-ranking official and I dare not punish you. The prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. Please take someone down..."

~~

Jing'an Prince's Mansion.

"At this moment, locking up the second brother and the others will delay a lot of things?" Chunning asked Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao thought to himself that in addition to Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu, Dong Jihe was also involved in the planning. If he didn't give them a little bit of excellence, it would be a problem in the future.

On the other hand, they said they were doing things for their own good, but they wanted to hurt Mei'er when doing things, and Mei'er came to plead for them...

He thought about this and felt guilty towards Chunning again, so he carried her to his lap and spoke.

Chunning was handling a document when he was suddenly picked up by Wang Xiao. He felt that this was a bit unreasonable and said softly: "I'm talking to my husband about serious matters."

"That's all." Wang Xiao hugged her and said, "Bai Yizhang has already promised me that he will handle the tax reform matters properly. Then let the Bai family go this time, so that the reputation of the Bai family cannot be ruined. Second brother and Xuan Ce have been too good at defending themselves and set fire after killing people. Of course, they have to be punished, otherwise how can they be fair?"

"Although that's the case, my husband should have other ways to resolve the case, why did he deliberately put the charges on his second brother and the others?"

When Chunning said this, he always felt that something was wrong.

Wang Xiao knew that she was smart, and it would not be possible to hide such things from her completely. It would be better to change the statement and give it a lighter level.

He said casually, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, but my old generals are somewhat arrogant. This is not a good thing. Using this case to suppress them will help the stability of the court."

After saying this, Wang Xiao said that Wang Zhu and the others had already planned as his own plan, and Chunning no longer thought about it, but instead was a little moved.

She thought it was inappropriate to hug her like this during the day. She was moved and felt a little softer, and hugged Wang Xiao's neck...

With just such a small move, Chunning felt a little rude again, and her eyes were filled with shame.

Wang Xiao succeeded in his trick and quickly changed the topic.

"Mi'er's menstruation has been around for a long time. It seems that this time has been done?"

Speaking of this, Chunning felt that inheriting his offspring was a serious matter, but he was not that shy. He said worriedly: "I don't know yet, I'm afraid I guessed wrong again."

"It must be true, let me listen..."

"You can hear it..."

The couple got close to each other for a while and became emotional, but they had too much official duties during the day and only kissed for a long time.

Chunning actually likes kissing Wang Xiao like this. She is a little scared before she really plays. However, she is very immersed in kissing her like this, and she still feels relaxed...

"Husband, stop making trouble, I have to see Mingjing later..."

"Um."

"By the way... Whose silk stockings in my husband's pocket belong to?"

Wang Xiao's mind was a little nervous when he relaxed. He was thinking about what to say, but Gan Tang said outside the door: "Your Highness, Zuo's proofreading has been waiting for a long time."

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chunning left, he handled some things and got up and went to the Military Affairs Office...

~~

Dong Jihe is in charge of Dezhou, and Xia Xiangwei is in charge of the Military Affairs Office in Jinan.

Now that Xia Xiangwei is locked up, Wang Xiao transferred Lin Xiangyang over and promoted several newcomers. He has the meaning of "There are always people who can do things, if you are not honest and obedient, you will change to others"...

Wang Xiao came late today. The generals he summoned had arrived and were discussing something in front of the sand table.

"Put the map of Shanxi." Wang Xiaofeng came in quickly and immediately gave an order...

The mountains and rivers in Shanxi are between the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains, and look quite thin.

Wang Xiao held the stick and pointed it over from north to south.

"Datong, Pingxing Pass, Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan, Liaozhou, Qinzhou...Lu'an."

The long staff in his hand fell on the place of "Lu'an", clicked and stopped.

"Lu'an, this place was called Shangdang in ancient times. Shangdang was called the 'Ring of the World'. How important is its location? Lin Xiangyang, you said."

"yes."

Lin Xiangyang was Lu Zhengchu's student. When Lu Zhengchu was assassinated, he broke his arm. But in recent years, he never abandoned himself with a disabled body. Although he was not as good as Tang Qianqian, who was a pseudonym "Jiang Sui" when he was taking the Military Affairs Office, he gradually emerged.

At this time, Wang laughed at him, and Lin Xiangyang walked to Shangdang's small sand table and spoke.

"Zhu Zi said, 'The land is extremely high and it is a party with the sky, so it is called Shangdang'. Shangdang's terrain is high and the situation is dangerous. The four passes among the eight passes of Taihang, Zhuguan light, Taihang Xing, Baixing, and Fukou Xing are all related to Shangdang...

During the Warring States Period, Zhao State was defeated by Qin State in the Battle of Changping. Qin State occupied Shangdang, and could overlook the plains. At the same time, Qi State formed an oppressive force, Wei, Han, Yan and Zhao State...

And our current position is like the Qi State back then. If Jianlu occupied Shangdang, he would have a condescending strategic advantage over the entire Shandong...

In other words, Shangdang is our last portal to defend against Jiannu’s attack from the Western Front…”

Wang Xiao nodded, glanced at the generals' faces, and saw if they understood it, and then said, "Let's talk about the current situation."

"Yes." Lin Xiangyang said: "But Jianlu is likely to be about to launch troops against Shanxi. Tang Jie is now in Datong, and it is still unknown how long it can be defended. Even the Rui Dynasty still has the possibility of abandoning Shanxi. I think that in the overall situation, we must support the Rui army to defend Shanxi, and at the same time, we must be prepared to abandon Shanxi once the Rui army abandons Shanxi..."

When Geng Dang heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to guard Shanxi in the end."

——King Jing'an has agreed with me.

Lin Xiangyang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Shanxi is still in the hands of Ruichao. Taihangxing is controlled by them and cannot be easily entered. The alliance has not made any progress yet, and Tang Zhongyuan did not agree to our march. Once the troops are rashly launched, the conflict between the two sides will probably worsen, and they will make a statement, which will affect the result of the alliance..."

"What should I do? Rui Chao occupied the pit and didn't poop. We saw Shanxi lost, can Jianlu fight?"

"There is insufficient troops at the moment, I'm afraid I can't draw many people to guard Shanxi..."

Wang Xiao listened quietly to their discussion.

After they understood the situation better during the discussion, Wang Xiao then coughed and started talking.
To be continued...
