Chapter 908

The next day.

A ray of golden sunlight shrouded the entire Changancheng, and the Vermilion Bird Avenue, with its heavy traffic, instantly burst into unprecedented vitality.

Clatter!

Soldiers in black armor held up notices high, riding tall warhorses, galloping on the street, their voices sweeping out.

"By His Majesty's decree, from this day forward, our Da Qian has added a new law: those who falsely accuse will be punished the same!"

"Anyone who dares to falsely accuse will be strictly investigated for every case. If you extort one hundred taels, once it is verified that it is a false accusation, the extortionist will compensate one hundred taels!"

"If you extort ten thousand taels, then compensate ten thousand taels!"

"If you can't afford to compensate, the elderly will have their mouths slapped and toes cut off, and strong men will be sent to mine, serve in the army, or after training their buttocks, be sent to brothels to be male prostitutes!"

"Furthermore, His Majesty knows the difficulty of this matter: first, the cost of crime for extortionists is too low; second, it is difficult to verify; third, officials are inactive. Therefore, His Majesty ordered the entire Da Qian to execute a terminal elimination system, ordering the Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate to inspect the world and conduct assessments. Our Da Qian does not raise officials who eat for free!"

Accompanied by Wu Zhao's decree, notices were posted on all major streets, and special personnel conveyed it to the people, which instantly ignited the entire Changancheng.

Since the Wu Guang case was spread, causing widespread dissemination, countless Changancheng people were as afraid of people falling on the road as they were of tigers.

Nothing else, no one dared to gamble.

If you gamble correctly, there is no benefit, only peace of mind, but if you gamble incorrectly, the cost is too great!

"Those who falsely accuse will be punished the same; His Majesty's decree is too ruthless!"

"Support! Under this law, who would dare to extort recklessly? Extort as much as you want, and compensate as much as you want; compensate them to death!"

"His Majesty is truly ruthless, but for these people who take crooked paths, it should be like this. If the elderly cannot work and are thrown into the heavenly prison, then slap their mouths and cut off their toes! In this way, can they still live? Do they still dare to extort?"

"Correct, although our Da Qian respects the old and loves the young, for this kind of shameless extortionist, it should be like this!"

"Hehe, I declare first, I have a fondness for the same sex and like to meet difficulties head-on, but there are too few male prostitutes in brothels. With this law, I actually like strong men to extort and earn this ill-gotten wealth."

"You have to train your buttocks first; His Majesty is too considerate!"

For a time, from restaurants and teahouses to street alleys, the people were all discussing it.

In the middle of the road, a luxurious carriage was driving slowly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang couldn't help but say with an agitated expression, "Young Master, this move of yours is too ruthless. If those who falsely accuse are punished the same, I fear even Old Man Chu wouldn't dare to extort at will."

Gao Yang was listless, leaning against the carriage, looking like he had no desire to live.

He said faintly, "The so-called use of kindness to engage in these extortions is just because the cost of crime is too low!"

"Even if the extortion doesn't succeed, you can't pay any price. This is the root of being unscrupulous. If you can't afford to compensate, then slap your mouth and cut off your toes!"

Wu Guang looked full of admiration, "Then, does the Lord think that once this law is issued, it can eradicate the extortion of the elderly in the world?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"How is that possible?"

"There can never be perfect laws in the world, and there will always be bold people who want to gamble and turn a thatched cottage into a mansion. Furthermore, the difficulty of this case lies in verification and the professionalism of the officials judging the case!"

"These are all uncontrollable factors."

"Just like corruption, as long as there is profit to be made, even if you copy the family and destroy the family, peel the skin and stuff it with grass, and three generations of descendants are not allowed to be officials, it will never be eradicated. But as long as most people dare not, the social atmosphere is good, and that is enough!"

These words made Wu Guang fall into deep thought.

"Young Master has great talent!"

"It's just that Young Master, why do you look so unenthusiastic today?"

Chen Sheng echoed from the side and suddenly asked.

Wu Guang came back to his senses and then raised his eyebrows, "Before the Lord entered the Shangguan residence last night, he took off his thick outer coat. I thought about this for a whole night!"

"After all, the weather is getting cold, and the night wind is biting."

"It wasn't until the Lord stayed at the Shangguan residence that I knew the Lord's foresight, and my admiration for the Lord is like the surging river, endless!"

"This must be because he was too tired last night!"

For a time, Chen Sheng and Zhao Da, who was driving the carriage outside, all showed ambiguous smiles.

But Gao Yang's face turned even darker.

"Foresight my ass. I calculated everything, but I missed one point: Lord Shangguan cannot drink cold well water these few days!"

"I was forced to be 'worse than a beast' for once, and I also listened to the sound of the flute for a whole night!"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Cannot drink cold well water?"

"Forced to be 'worse than a beast'?"

Several people looked at Gao Yang together, their gazes filled with confusion.

Gao Yang said with hatred for iron not becoming steel, "When a woman has 'that,' if she drinks cold well water, wouldn't her stomach hurt even more? Then, conversely, if she can drink cold well water, it means 'that' hasn't come."

"I was careless and actually ignored this point; I should have asked a question in advance."

But thinking of Shangguan Wan'er's alluring appearance yesterday, his heart felt a burst of heat.

No matter, there is still soaking in the hot springs together. Having helped the brother-in-law so much, it's time for him to exert some effort again!

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang and Chen Sheng widened their eyes together.

They felt as if they had been enlightened, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

Can it be done like this?

Learned it. In the future, when I have a crush on a little widow, I'll ask if she can drink ice water first, and then sneak in at night, so as not to run for nothing.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Dingguo Duke residence.

"Young Master, you're back?"

Gao Yang nodded and then asked, "Where is Changwen?"

"The Second Young Master is in the small courtyard, saying he is studying the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow.

Gao Changwen reading the Spring and Autumn Annals?

"Take me to find him; I have something to find him for!"

Gao Changwen must be harboring evil intentions, but Shangguan Wan'er hadn't been taken yet, and the father-in-law still needed to be pleased. He still needed a few copies of the veterinary medicine Gao Changwen developed.

And the trip to the Shangguan residence last night, Shangguan Xuan's attitude made him see a huge market!

If the veterinary medicine could really make Shangguan Xuan rejuvenate, then the market for this would be completely immeasurable!

This business could definitely be done!

Just as he stepped into the gate, not long after, a woman wearing a pink long dress, her hair coiled up, her face beautiful and carrying a trace of grievance, walked toward him.

"Mu Xue Yao greets the Lord."

Mu Mu Xue Yao bowed slightly and saluted Gao Yang, her tone carrying a trace of grievance.

Zhao Gao's price failed to soar, and Zhao Yuheng was very dissatisfied with her. She originally wanted to find Gao Yang last night to find a good opportunity, but Gao Yang didn't return all night!

Gao Yang scanned Mu Mu Xue Yao's slender body and that fair and translucent face, and then he asked cautiously.

"Mu Xue Yao, can you drink cold well water today?"
