    "My lord wants to make Peiping the capital. It is impossible to completely avoid civil and military dissatisfaction, but if you want to reduce it, there are many ways. Literature bar wxba" With the important matter in her heart settled, Fan Lixiang felt really relaxed now and started to  Thinking about Liu Zhang's troubles.

    "What solution?" Liu Zhang came up because he was dizzy after discussing with Huang Yueying, but although he was irritable, Fan Lixiang said there was a solution, and Liu Zhang was of course willing to listen.

    But before Fan Lixiang said anything, she suddenly saw a large number of people gathering in a group of houses that had been built in front of her. There were also faintly passing people who said, "Hey, why did you kill someone? Do you think there is something wrong with the other houses?"  ?¡±

    "Who knows, I don't even dare to live anymore."

    The two commoners left in a hurry, with disappointment and suspicion on their faces.

    "What's going on?" Liu Zhang frowned, and Fan Lixiang immediately led his troops over.

    The buildings in front are newly built residential buildings, which are intended to house refugees and retired soldiers. Fan Lixiang maintains law and order, and Jiang Wan is in charge of the construction. If there is a problem with the building, it is not Fan Lixiang's responsibility.

    "But when I heard that the man was dead and Liu Zhang was still beside him, Fan Lixiang had to pay attention.

    Liu Zhang was only wearing plain clothes. With his status, it was not convenient for him to deal with ordinary civil affairs. He only followed Fan Lixiang and Fan Lixiang handled it.

    When the onlookers saw the general arriving, they all moved out of the way. They saw a ruin inside, with the remains of the collapsed walls of the house, three stretchers, and three corpses covered with straw mats. One of them was very small and looked like a child.  .

    Liu Zhang clenched his fists immediately. If the construction party cut corners, he would not mind killing people immediately.  Liu Zhang also knew that Fan Lixiang might be more skilled at killing people than he was, and it was inconvenient for him to directly intervene in these matters.  If you can, don't interfere.

    Officials had already come to deal with it. When Liu Zhang saw the official standing aside calmly, his face twitched when he saw Fan Lixiang arriving. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he did not make a move and stood behind Fan Lixiang like a follower.  generally.

    "What's going on?" Fan Lixiang asked coldly.

    The official stood up, Fan Lixiang as the general.  It was not his petty official who offended him. The official quickly said to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, there is a problem with the project here. The construction project contracted by the Qu family suddenly collapsed after people moved in, killing a family of three. What a tragedy.  "

    The official wiped away his tears as he spoke, looked at the three corpses and said: "The head of the family here is a Sichuan Army soldier. His ancestral home is Shangyong. He defeated the Xiliang Army at Yangping Pass, King of Shu, and started fighting with our Sichuan Army. That's it.  It¡¯s such a shame that he died.¡±

    "This is unreasonable." Fan Lixiang became more and more angry as she listened to the officials' words. Fan Lixiang commanded the Shenwei Army herself.  The Divine Power Army has grown from a scattered peasant army at the beginning to now, and now has a cohesive military spirit. Fan Lixiang and other generals value the lives of soldiers.

    Fan Lixiang knew without thinking that this was because the businessman was cutting corners, or because he was not supervising the workers properly.  This causes the structure of the house to be unstable, otherwise how could a normally constructed house collapse.

    Such a person has been following the Sichuan Army for many years.  Seeing that the world was unified, the soldiers who responded to Liu Zhang's call to settle in Peiping died at the hands of profiteers.

    Fan Lixiang felt extremely angry and immediately said loudly: "Ask the contractor of the project here to come see me."

    "General Fan, this is a construction accident. General Fan is responsible for the security and defense of Beiping. I'm afraid" The official raised his eyelids and glanced at Fan Lixiang, and said tentatively.

    "What are you afraid of? Everyone is dead now, can't I, the general, still control it?"

    Not to mention that Liu Zhang was right behind her, Liu Zhang didn't say anything, so he must have allowed himself to take charge. Even if Liu Zhang was not around, Fan Lixiang planned to take charge.

    "No, that's not what I meant by being dismissed." Seeing Fan Lixiang's anger, the official laughed quickly and said cautiously: "General Fan, I'm not questioning General Fan's authority, but"

    The official looked around and lowered his voice to Fan Lixiang: "The businessman contracting the project here is named Qu Wu. He is a member of the tribe of Qu Xi, a great businessman in Sichuan. When the Jingyi clan rebelled, Qu Xi and his family rebelled.  This Qu Wu is firmly on Qu Xi's side.

    If you stand on the side of Quxi, you are standing on the side of the King of Shu.

    The most important thing is not this. General Fan also knows that Qu Xi is Mrs. Qu¡¯s brother and Qu Tian¡¯s nephew. Qu Tian is a person listed in the Hall of Meritorious Officers by the King of Shu, so he attaches great importance to her.  Mrs. Qu is the wife of the King of Shu.

    As a tribesman and confidant of Qu Xi, who dares to touch Qu Wu?  "

    Fan Lixiang also frowned when she heard this, Qu Xi, with the growth of the Sichuan army, several of the big businessmen in Shu in the past, except for Fatty Jin, have already become rich.

      Although Qu Xi is the youngest, his business methods are more powerful than those of the other major merchants. The Qu family has become the number one private businessman, and the people in Qu Xi are greatly implicated.

    What¡¯s more, Qu Lingchen is also involved. Fan Lixiang knows this lady, but she is already officially recognized as the mistress of the Sichuan Army, which is more formal than herself. Fan Lixiang can¡¯t make up her mind.

    Fan Lixiang looked back at Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang didn't make any move. When Fan Lixiang looked at him, he just nodded slightly.

    Fan Lixiang suddenly became determined and loudly said to the official: "I don't care about the background of Na Quwu, general. I will capture it immediately. I will bear the consequences."

    "Yes, yes." Now that Fan Lixiang said so, the official nodded and bowed quickly to summon someone. The people around him admired Fan Lixiang when they saw her being so selfless.

    The reputation of the Shenwei Army for loving the people has spread throughout the world, which is why Liu Zhang asked Fan Lixiang to maintain security in Peiping. However, most people in Peiping have only heard of Fan Lixiang and the Shenwei Army's love for the people, but have never seen it in person.

    This time, I saw Fan Lixiang ordering without hesitation to take down the cronies of the King of Shu's wife's brother, daring to offend wealthy merchants and royal relatives, and finally confirmed the truth of the rumors. For such a general, there is no common people who do not love him.

    "Go and talk." Liu Zhang said behind Fan Lixiang, looking like a close follower of Fan Lixiang, and then walked to the outside of the crowd with Hao Miao.

    Fan Lixiang followed and walked out. When the common people saw that Fan Lixiang's "entourage" called Fan Lixiang, a good general, aside to talk, they knew what they were saying without having to guess. They must have advised their master not to wade into muddy waters, to be sensible and to protect themselves.  .  I couldn't help but despise Liu Zhang a hundred times in my heart.

    "My lord, what's wrong? You see that Madam Qu is involved, so don't you want to make a big fuss? Don't worry, Madam Qu will definitely be fine with this matter."

    Fan Lixiang has thoroughly studied the women around Liu Zhang. It is strange that a person like Qu Lingchen would know such trivial matters. If he knew that his brother's cronies were amassing money and killing people, they would definitely not protect them.

    "If it is really about cutting corners and killing lives, no matter who is involved. Even if it involves my son, Liu Zhang, I will do the same thing."

    Liu Zhang said something and then said: "Li Xiang, didn't you find something wrong?"

    "What's wrong?"

    Liu Zhang glanced inside and saw Fan Lixiang exit.  Perhaps out of respect for Fan Lixiang, the people did not block the opening. Liu Zhang looked in and saw that the officials inside were still studying the accident with some people, pointing at the three corpses, and the pained expressions on their faces were clearly revealed.

    "According to my experience in observing words and emotions, the two sentences that the official said to you just now. He also reported Qu Wu's family status, not because he was afraid that you would offend the Qu family, but because he deliberately provoked you to offend the Qu family."

    Liu Zhang obviously felt that something was unusual, that is, the official seemed to be too selfless.  Fan Lixiang was not well-liked either in the army or in the officialdom. Few generals in the Sichuan Army liked Fan Lixiang, but this official was very worried about Fan Lixiang.  I was very afraid that she would touch the Qu family.

    Because the official's face turned unnatural when he saw Fan Lixiang arriving.  Liu Zhang observed the official carefully from the beginning, seemingly casually, the corner of his eye never leaving the official's face.

    When Fan Lixiang got angry and asked for Qu Wu, the official's eyes clearly showed a hint of joy, as if Fan Lixiang's coming to the front would be of great benefit to him.

    This expression aroused Liu Zhang's alarm even more, and he intuitively told Liu Zhang that this matter was not that simple.

    "You deliberately provoke me to offend the Qu family? Why? Do I have any grudge against him?" Fan Lixiang said.

    "I found that not only your way of doing things has changed over the years, but also your IQ. How could you become so stupid?"

    "You how stupid am I?" Fan Lixiang's face immediately became angry, but she felt very good in her heart. Liu Zhang was able to joke with her like this, which shows that they have a very close relationship, which is much better than the rigid relationship between master and minister.  .

    Liu Zhang said: "If a person wants to push you into a pit of fire, there are two possibilities. One is that he has a grudge, and the other is that it is good for him to jump into the fire.

    In this matter, there are two possibilities. First, the official is a well-meaning person and is afraid that you will get involved in the dispute. Second, the official is taking advantage of you.

    My guess is that the officials want to deal with the Qu family, but the Qu family is really not easy to mess with. Now that you are in charge, they will be happy and at ease.  "

    "That's bullshit." After hearing what Liu Zhang said, Fan Lixiang rolled her eyes at Liu Zhang disapprovingly: "After doing this for a long time, you still want to help your wife. After all the nonsense, it's okay."

    "Yes, these are all speculations. We can only look at the facts. The house collapsed and people died. We must give justice to the deceased family, but??.  Liu Zhang had a cold look on his face: "If anyone dares to sacrifice the life of a family to gain benefits for himself, no matter who it is, I will never let him go."  "

    Fan Lixiang saw Liu Zhang's expression and knew that Liu Zhang was not trying to shirk the Qu family. Based on her understanding of Liu Zhang, she would not shirk. Her heart slowly calmed down, and suddenly she felt that she had overlooked something.

    "No matter what, let's find out the accident first."

    At this time, a businessman ran in from outside carrying a robe, followed by two government officials. When he saw Fan Lixiang beside him, he immediately ran over.

    "Caomin Qu Wu pays homage to General Fan and Lord Li."

    Qu Wu bowed to Fan Lixiang and the official. Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't move, Fan Lixiang knew that Liu Zhang didn't want to stand out, so she nodded to Qu Wu and said coldly:

    "Qu Wu, let me ask you, this house was just built, but it collapsed just after people moved in. Now three lives have been lost, children, women, and veterans of the Sichuan Army who fought on the battlefield. Every life is extremely precious. What do you say?

    Whether your project cut corners or hired unskilled craftsmen, it¡¯s a matter of time. Otherwise, I don¡¯t care what background you have, just be careful of your head.  "

    Qu Wu is very strong. He looks less like a businessman and more like a bodyguard. But this is not surprising. Except for his old employer, most of the businessmen who followed the Sichuan Army made money by traveling all over the country and are not too bloated.

    When Qu Wu heard that it was Fan Lixiang who was in charge of the death, he was obviously a little nervous. He immediately said to a servant: "Go and get all the account books immediately. Also, bring the workers who built this house and the stewards who supervise this batch of houses."  , call them all.¡±

    "Yes." The servant hurriedly went.

    Fan Lixiang suddenly frowned and said to Qu Wu: "Qu Wu, you really only want to make a fortune. Such a big thing happened at the construction site and officials came. You didn't know that you just went to find the workers and managers now?"

    "It'snothing, General Fan. The project our Qu family has contracted is huge. I can't handle it all by myself. If something happens, the manager should have informed me, but I haven't received any news at all."

    Qu Wu became even more nervous, his face full of anxiety. Liu Zhang saw that he seemed a little depressed, and thought for a moment. The officials had come to see the body. Even if the steward didn't notify him, the officials should inform Qu Wu first. Why?  Qu Wu would not know?

    Or did Qu Wu know about it but didn't take it seriously?  If it's the latter, he really deserves to be killed.

    "Sir, it's bad, it's bad, the stewards in this area and the workers who built this house are all gone. I heard that they didn't come back last night."

    Fan Lixiang and Liu Zhang both frowned. The official on the side said: "They are obviously afraid of crime and fled. These people killed retired soldiers. Everyone deserves to be killed. Qu Wu, as a contractor, you also have a responsibility that you cannot shirk."

    "I" These workers and stewards left, and it was Fan Lixiang, a well-known general who loved the people, who was in charge. Fan Lixiang was famous for being ruthless. Qu Wu had already thought of his own fate, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant, and he felt a wave of panic all over his body.  soft.

    But he immediately cheered up and said to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, the account book will be here soon. It records the incoming and outgoing accounts of our Qujia construction site, as well as the purchase and distribution of building materials.

    For the projects we contracted, our Qu family definitely purchased sufficient building materials and distributed them to various construction sites. We also recruited workers who needed skills, carefully selected them, and offered high remuneration.

    These are reflected in the ledger.  "

    At this time, Qu Wu saw someone coming over with a stack of account books and immediately waved.

    Fan Lixiang waved her hand, and Liu Min stepped forward. Liu Min was as famous as Jiang Wan. Although he was not as talented as Jiang Wan, he could still analyze the account books. Several accountants hurriedly looked through them for Liu Min.

    Before the results of the investigation could be found, the official on the side said: "Qu Wu, such a big thing has happened. I'm afraid it can't be cleared with basic account books, right?

    You must know that this account book can be faked.  "
