The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 359 The case ends
In the past, this kind of thing was unthinkable. Living in a courtyard outside the palace was very expensive.

In normal times, even disaster relief workers and the army cannot be paid.

There is no way to talk about enjoying things at all.

Nowadays, the national server is extremely rich, and a small luxury is still no problem.

What's more, the main purpose of doing this is to have a private meeting with Lin Hai.

The relationship between the two gradually heated up.

The more she was alone at night, Gong Yanwu always missed Lin Hai particularly.

"I think it's okay! At least there aren't so many people watching outside.

If I occasionally stay overnight with you, no one will know.

But it takes a little more effort to choose the people you serve.

Don't let other people's eyes get in. Lin Hai warned.

"Of course I will carefully select such an important matter, and I must be loyal.

Moreover, one must be strict with one's mouth and cannot say a single word of what they see or hear. "Gong Yanwu replied.

"It's getting colder and colder now, although the palace you live in is spacious and grand.

But in winter it seems cold.

Even if you put a few more braziers, the effect won't be very good.

I have made a fire pit at home. Do you want to build one for your bedroom too?

With the kang to burn the fire, you won't be freezing in winter. "

Gong Yanwu was very curious.

"What is the fire bed?"

“You can think of it as a stove, or a bed made of bricks.

A fire is built inside but the flues lead outside.

This makes the room very warm and prevents smoke from entering the room..."

"So that's it, thank you for being able to imagine it. My body is naturally cold, and my hands and feet get cold in winter.

If you have a fire bed like yours, you don't have to worry. "Gong Yanwu readily agreed.

"How about I send craftsmen over tomorrow, and we can build the fire pit in just one day."

"Okay, I'll say hello to the servants."

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first. I have left the matter of searching the house to Wang Chenggang.

This person is pretty good at what he does, and he can be promoted to Jing Zhaoyin in the future.

After all, I have more and more things on my hands, and Jing Zhaoyin's official position is no longer suitable for me. "

“Also, I hope there won’t be a killing spree, just dealing with the people involved.

As for the family members of these people, if they don't know about it, just let them go. "

Only then did Lin Hai remember the main purpose of coming today.

Exterminating the nine tribes was too cruel, so Lin Hai hoped to let these people live.

Gong Yanwu was a little hesitant after hearing this.

“After committing such a big crime, all officials are watching, and this cannot be punished severely.

How can we frighten other ministers? "

"That's not what you said! Many family members are innocent. If they were implicated, I don't know how many people would be killed.

Innocent people should not be harmed and killed because of officials' fault.

What's more, releasing innocent family members will show that you are magnanimous and govern the country with benevolence.

You can build a good reputation for yourself. "

“Besides, as long as you can control the power, ministers will naturally not dare to rebel.

If there is no strength to intimidate ministers, no matter how many people are killed today, there will still be powerful ministers in the future. "

Gong Yanwu thought for a moment.

"Well, since you said so, everything is up to you."

"I just want to thank you on behalf of those innocent people!" Lin Hai was very happy.

No matter whether they feel grateful or not, or they want to take revenge on themselves in the future.

Just let them come as they please.

If it was the latter, Lin Hai would never be soft on them again.

The next day, the news finally got out.

The prime minister and three ministers participated in the rebellion and united with enemy assassins to assassinate the queen mother.The matter has been found out clearly.

The Minister of Rites was poisoned to death, and the others were pressed directly to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

When the Minister of Industry heard the news, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He is also a member of the Prime Minister's party, but the Prime Minister did not call him to do this.

It is probably also to avoid being implicated too much and to leave a way out for myself.

If someone had been involved at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Everyone thinks that those who rebel will have to be killed by the nine tribes.

Unexpectedly, only the relevant people were killed, and the unsuspecting family members were not convicted.

Countless amounts of property were confiscated.

It actually exceeded more than 300 million taels of silver.

It can be seen how much money they have made through corruption as officials over the years.

Even if there is no crime of treason, just so much corruption is a serious crime enough to be beheaded.

Gong Yanwu gritted her teeth angrily as she looked at the list of items that had been confiscated.

I even regretted agreeing to Lin Hai, since there are no more Zhulian clan members.

Only killing the main criminal was a too light sentence.

However, Lin Hai also patiently persuaded.

Those family members were not involved in corruption, and there was no need to vent their anger on these people.

What's more, many relatives have never had any contact with them.

It would be unjustifiable to kill the main criminal because of his corruption.

Gong Yanwu asked people to investigate again, and all those involved in corruption were sentenced severely.

Kill those who deserve to be killed, and distribute those who deserve to be distributed.

We cannot let these people escape the law.

On the day of the beheading, there was a huge crowd of people on the street, and they all took rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at them hard.

People hate corrupt officials the most.

Especially these corrupt officials who have colluded with the enemy country, I want to kill them with a thousand knives.

Lin Hai did not go out to watch the beheading.

What he has to do now is to find ways to make money.

Building sea ships is simply a bottomless pit, and a lot of money has to be poured into it every month.

In particular, nearly one million taels of silver were spent on military pensions.

Almost all the family's money was wiped out.

I can’t wait to make money.

The most profitable thing Lin Hai can do now is to open a hot pot restaurant as soon as possible.

The weather is getting colder and colder now. I would like to find a place where it is cheaper to eat and also very warm.

It will definitely attract a lot of diners.

What's more, the temptation of hot pot is so great that once you taste it once, you will be unable to stop eating it in the future.

Coupled with the mutton transported from Turks and Tibet, the meat is particularly delicious.

It is sure to make diners addicted.

Qiao'er had previously asked Qiao'er to look at several shops and bought them, which have been renovated.

After several days of preparation, the hot pot restaurant officially opened.

Lin Hai originally wanted to find a famous oiran to help promote it.

Increase the popularity of the store.

However, Princess Chenxi directly vetoed it.

Have someone write an advertisement and place it in the newspaper.

When it opened, it was packed with customers and there was a long queue outside.

The price of mutton hot pot is not high, because there are some haggis and other items that are particularly cheap.

Rich people eat more mutton, while poor people can eat haggis, or other meatballs and the like.

After all, pork is relatively cheap in Daxia, and you can also make some ingredients.

Just by smelling the fragrance, it attracted many customers.
