Royal Gold Magistrate

When Li Yuanzhao rushed back to the East Palace, Liu Jin immediately greeted him and said, "Your Highness, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you, and it is said to be Miss Tao from Taoyuan County, and he is still holding Lord Fang's token."

Li Yuanzhao was stunned.

Xiao Tao?Why is she looking for herself?

Lao Fang went home?Not so fast!

"Call in!"

Liu Jin nodded in agreement, and then went to report.

Under the leadership of Liu Jin, Xiaotao entered the palace for the first time, watching from side to side.

I can't help being a little surprised.

This is the palace!Sure enough, it is more grand than Taoyuan County, but it seems empty and not popular.

After walking all the way, she finally managed to meet Li Yuanzhao, and Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately saluted respectfully.

Then secretly looked again.

Seeing this, Li Yuanzhao couldn't help feeling a little bit of showing off in his heart: "Xiaotao! Rare guest, how about coming to this palace to show you my East Palace?"

Xiao Tao came back to her senses, only then did she realize that there was something important to say, and immediately said seriously: "Your Highness, something important has happened!"

"What's the big deal?" Li Yuanzhao was a little curious.

"Someone attacked Taoyuan County, and now the thief has been captured by us. Now that the master is not here, please ask Your Highness to make the decision for us!"

"Tch!" Li Yuanzhao laughed, "Attack Taoyuan County? Are you kidding me? If bandits and the like still need to tell Ben Gong? You can send some people from your county!"

"It's not bandits...it's King Wu's people..."

As soon as these words came out, the pressure in Xiaotao's heart was relieved a lot.

Those who attacked Taoyuan County were really strict with their mouths. Xiaoliu, who came the earliest, was already mentally abnormal. The interrogation was too much, and there was no time to ask. There was a problem with normal communication, and two lines of lyrics with unknown meanings always popped out of his mouth. .

Reluctantly, he could only send to the black coal mine in the county to work.

Later, Jiang Hu was tried for two days, but he was not recruited. He was impatient and had no choice but to impose a severe punishment.

Xiao Tao came up with a bad idea and executed two accomplices with a cannon in front of Jiang Hu, but the bloody scene did not appear, after all, the county has never advocated these inhumane punishments.

So the victim was covered with a thick steel plate, and when the cannon was fired, it instantly collapsed far away... A column of blood was thrown out of the mouth in mid-air, and the person died before he landed.

Such a scene is unimaginable in my dreams!Jiang Hu was frightened out of his wits, feces and urine flowed out on the spot, and finally all the brains were recruited.

Afterwards, the county discussed it again...Xiaotao rushed to the palace immediately.

When Li Yuanzhao heard it, he didn't react at first, and then he was startled: "King Wu sent someone to attack Taoyuan County? Don't talk nonsense! Does he have any need? What else does he use to fight? Where did the vassal king in the capital come from?" soldier?"

Xiaotao's expression was extremely serious: "I didn't say a single lie. If you don't believe me, His Highness, you can follow me to the county to have a look!"

Li Yuanzhao's expression became more serious, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

The vassal king has 2000 private soldiers hiding in the capital. Although the number is not large, this behavior is already tantamount to rebellion!

"Prepare the horse! Take me to Taoyuan County immediately!"

........

The two didn't talk nonsense, and immediately rode to Taoyuan County.

When Li Yuanzhao appeared in front of the gate of Taoyuan County, he frowned even tighter at the dilapidated gate.

The gate was shattered in many places by explosives.

Xiaotao just ordered people to nail some thick boards inside and outside, and didn't think about repairing it again.

She knew Fang Zhengyi well, so he might like this kind of low-key city gate.

As long as it is strong enough and the lining is good!

"This place...it seems that it has really experienced a big battle! I have never heard of a war that can make the city gate like this."

Li Yuanzhao involuntarily began to brainstorm.

A group of people swarmed up, slashing at the city gate crazily... Halfway through thinking about it, they suddenly woke up!

"That's not right! How could this city gate be made like this! What's wrong with their brains? And why are there so many big holes on the ground over there!"

Before the matter of gunpowder was exposed, Xiaotao quickly made up an excuse: "It's a fire attack! They burned the city gate with kerosene, and the pit over there was dug by our county people digging wild vegetables..."

"........."

With a sullen face, Li Yuanzhao walked straight into the city.

Asking is also a waste of time, there is no truth in my mouth!

Digging wild vegetables, such a big pit, the whole county is digging wild vegetables in one hole?

This kind of lie can also be told, which is far worse than the old Fang!

"Where are those captives, bring me to see them!"

"Some of them are working in coal mines, and the other are being used to test penicillin. Which group should His Highness see first?"

"No... why are people in the coal mine? Are there no people in your cells?"

Xiaotao explained: "Our cell is just a formality. After two days of detention, they will be taken away to work. This is called reform through labor!"

"The young master said that the prisoner has no right to be idle. If he wants to lie down in the prison, the family members have to pay money. These prisoners have no money and can only go to work. If they earn enough work points, they can exchange for the opportunity to go back to the prison to sleep!"

"Where does the prisoner usually sleep?"

"Didn't the newspaper office eliminate a batch of mattresses earlier? They were sent to coal mines."

Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Wonderful! As expected of Lao Fang, he is good at abusing people!"

Xiao Tao showed displeasure: "Your Highness, we don't abuse prisoners. After one year of reformation, there are still two days of annual leave every year. During the holidays, you can go back to sleep in the prison for free."

"After these people were released from prison, many people rushed to get them! They didn't choose jobs, and they didn't choose wages. The reformation was also for their own good."

"Only two days off in a year? Hey... you guys won't commit suicide if you do this!" Li Yuanzhao's scalp tingled, isn't this just a low profile early reporter?

It turns out that Lao Fang has been using the method of managing prisoners to control reporters earlier, no wonder going to work is not much better than being in jail!

"No, there are not many people who can commit serious crimes...the work is done in groups of 20, and [-] people with a short sentence are paired with a long sentence. If someone in a group commits suicide, everyone else will receive an additional sentence! Therefore, it is very difficult to succeed in suicide.”

Talented people... It's a shame that Lao Fang didn't go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

Li Yuanzhao sighed: "Forget it, let's forget about those in the coal mine, let's go to another group. Has Lao Fang not given up on penicillin yet?"

Xiaotao shook her head: "The young master said that if the penicillin is successful, there must be countless people alive! It is impossible for the young master to invest a large amount of money on the poison. It is meaningless. I will take His Highness there now."

The place where penicillin was tested was not far away, and it didn't take long for the two of them to ride there.

The laboratory house is built differently, covering a wide area and clean and white.

The number of windows is also very large, apparently to take care of the lighting.

When Li Yuanzhao pushed the door and entered, a strong stench came over his nostrils!This time he almost threw up.

Xiaotao behaved the same way, it was also her first time here.

Many simple beds were placed in front of the eyes, and dozens of people were tied to the beds, their jackets were taken off, and they remained motionless.

Occasionally, there are white coats wearing masks... It looks very modern!

Li Yuanzhao scanned the captives on the bed, his expression gradually serious.

Look at their torsos, their limbs, their hands.He often goes to the barracks, and he can be seen at a glance as an old soldier who has been trained.

This kind of person can't be an ordinary bandit hooligan, which means that what Xiaotao said is highly likely to be true!

It's just that the wounds of these people seem to be a little serious, and no one cares about them.

"Why are these people tied up? Why don't they treat their injuries!" Li Yuanzhao asked.

Xiaotao waved her hand to call someone over, covered her mouth and nose and frowned and asked, "Why don't you find a doctor to treat their injuries?"

The white coat glanced at the prisoner beside him: "Oh...we are waiting for the wound to deteriorate..."
