The matter of Nan Luoying has also been completed. Normally, Zhao Xin's daily tasks are to review memorials in court, and then play chess to prepare for the competition next spring.
Moreover, Prime Minister Zhuge also had to prepare for the Spring Festival.
The man named He Long has also been investigated. It's unknown why he confessed to the incident, but the knife doesn't match the wound.
Zhao Xin naturally didn't believe it. He felt that his subconscious mind was not wrong. He just thought it was He Zhizhou who did it.
Therefore, even if they believed that he did it, they had no evidence to prove it. Since He Long had admitted it, they could only lock him up in jail for a week.
To be honest, if they were innocent, they should have been hanged directly, but the people strongly demanded that he be kept because those people were indeed thieves.
But even though he killed the thief, it was still a violation of the laws of the Qin Dynasty! If you kill someone, you must bear the consequences. Even if the death penalty can be avoided, you can't escape it.
So he could only... punish him directly for a few days and make him do some voluntary work in this huge city. It was indeed uncomfortable to sweep the streets outside in the winter, but if he was not punished, it would really seem that he, a royal family member, had no dignity at all.
He Long also accepted this matter with pleasure. After all, if it were calculated according to the real laws of the Qing Dynasty, it would not be as simple as sweeping the streets. He killed more than ten people on the opposite side. This was a death sentence at least for the sake of pleasure.
Even if the person on the other side is really a thief and has really killed someone, he must be sent to the Tianlao and the Shenxingsi to be dealt with by the officials, rather than being dealt with privately.
Since that was the case, he gladly accepted it. He took a broom and went out. He started sweeping from Zhuque Street, then swept all the way to Zhuque Gate. Then he took over all the work done by the eunuchs in the capital. On the last day, he would go to Dingding Gate to sweep the floor.
Since he was doing this work without stopping, Zhao Xin thought it was good, so he let him continue. He Long was also very happy with it, so he gave him a little salary increase and some money.
The one who swept the floor very hard was placed in the palace.
The instigator, He Zhizhou, was sitting in the hall at this time, listening to the good news brought by his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the King of Qin has already placed that man in the palace. I heard that he is doing a good job. Isn't this a pleasant surprise?"
After spending so much time together in the Crane State, how could he not understand Zhao Xin? Besides, that blade also came from Zhao Xin's hand. Even if he hadn't seen it before, it definitely caught his eye.
How could Zhao Xin not recognize him? It was because he saw someone admitted it that he did not continue to investigate the matter. Otherwise, he would have found him by following the clues.
It is now the winter season, and Zhao Xin's Tiangong Kaiwu technique has already developed the technology of making kiln bricks and tiles in the capital area. The glass kiln tools produced are also very beautiful.
And the matter of building the Great Wall that Zhao Xin had been talking about finally made some progress in the cold weather.
Zhao Xin had nothing to do, so he ordered them around. He let those death row prisoners... Of course, Zhao Xin didn't treat them badly. He made a thick cotton coat for each of them and let them follow the construction teams to build the Great Wall.
Those construction teams were all volunteers. After all, it was almost the New Year and who wouldn't want to buy some money for the family? They even specially applied to Zhao Xin for this matter.
Zhao Xin thought that since you were willing to build a house in the middle of winter...
"If any problems arise with the Great Wall after the spring, you will be held fully responsible."
Zhao Xin explained it clearly and concisely. Then, the large group of contractors agreed. Since they had agreed, let the death row prisoners go. Zhao Xin also issued an order that if these people performed well, their sentences could be commuted, and they could be given suspended death sentences instead of death sentences. Zhao Xin was giving them enough face.
Then he began to work, and this work was the only one in the entire Jingji area. He planned to start from Changmen and build a solid fence for his side, even if the structure of the Great Wall was winding and tortuous to resist foreign troops.
The engineer who drew the blueprints was also quite capable. He selected one person from each of the three places in the Evil Palace, the imperial court, and the common people. When these three people worked together to draw a blueprint, there would inevitably be some deviations, but the result still satisfied Zhao Xin, so he ordered the construction to begin.
In fact, it was not suitable for construction in the middle of winter. The main reason why he dared to agree was that it was the end of winter and spring was approaching, and he also calculated that the auspicious day would be in a few days because he heard from the astrologer that the snow would stop in the next few days.
His Great Qin had been blanketed in snow for nearly a month. Every day, Zhao Xin woke to the dazzling white world, feeling a sense of emptiness within him, as if something was missing. Over time, he felt that even the principles of justice were meaningless, even more so than the exquisite tower atop Tianshan Mountain.
Zhao Xin's excitement returned at the mention of the Exquisite Tower, and he quickly summoned the three engineers to work out a rough design for him. Meanwhile, the Villain's Mansion had also seen significant results.
Su Jie woke up.
It was true what Tsuru Nozomi said, he woke up within half a month, and was in very good condition, able to walk and jump. Just imagine, a person who has been lying in bed for more than a month like a vegetable can suddenly stand up and walk. This is already a great fortune.
As a ruler with great potential, Zhao Xin also took something that looked slightly valuable from his own palace and gave it to him.
Su Lie had mentioned wanting the mysterious box before. At that time, he was so happy to hear about the existence of Crane State that he jumped three feet high and didn't pay attention to it.
The box was not taken away, so it lay quietly in her bedroom for more than half a month.
I haven't heard any news recently, but today during the court session, I did get some clues.
"Your Majesty, the border reports that the King of Beihai has settled in the grasslands north of the capital. Will Your Majesty send troops?"
Good man, if he hadn't mentioned this King of the North Sea, he would have almost forgotten about him. During the previous battle of the Seven Kings, he had a lucky escape from this King of the North Sea, but now he was stationed near the grassland farthest from the imperial court.
Then there was Nan Wu Ju guarding the place. When they came back before, he had clearly expressed his attitude.
He and Nanwu Bu are now on good terms with Yue Fei. As long as Yue Fei does not rebel, the two of them will not rebel either.
This is not that simple.
According to the conditions given by his Eye of Recognition, it was impossible for him to betray. Then he activated the Eye of Recognition again.
Then he discovered that the loyalty of these two people to him had reached 80%. Then his ambitions and other things also decreased, hovering around 50-60%, which was not a bad thing for him.
And now the two brothers of the Cao family in the south and the east have not shown any affection to him.
Since the two sons of Nanchang from the Nan family are now following him, even though those two are also descendants of military families, as long as Nancang is dealt with, everything will be easy.
