Shan Liangji explained all the crimes in detail, and also handed over the evidence of the crime, and one person took all the blame.

According to his confession, he "carefully raised" Cao Deming, his uncle, into a fat man who could not walk, and then played with him on the palm of his hand.

After listening to this, people can't help but sympathize with Cao Deming.

Xu Zhengping sent people to capture all the evil slaves in the uncle's house and bring them to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. All the evil slaves bowed their heads and confessed, and they all said that they were ordered by the martial arts leader Shan Liangji.

They were not cooperating with Shan Liangji to lie and exonerating Cao Deming, but because they were indeed under Shan Liangji's instructions.

Finally, Xu Zhengping invited Cao Deming to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice and conducted a detailed inquiry.

Cao Deming's consciousness was groggy and he didn't know what to ask.

When people saw Cao Deming, who was so fat that he was almost inhuman and struggling to breathe, they were shocked and sighed, and became more sympathetic to him.

Shan Liangji broke his heart and committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The evil slaves in the uncle's house also obeyed the law.

The uncle-in-law Cao Deming was found guilty of being lax in his duties and neglecting personnel, and was deprived of his title of viscount and fined and confiscated.

Huo Xingwu was sent to the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang.

Huo Pingfan was implicated and was dismissed from his position as the county magistrate of Beijing County. He was sent to northern Xinjiang together with Huo Xingwu. However, this was not an exile, but a transfer to a small border county in northern Xinjiang to continue serving as a county magistrate.

Shan Liangji resigned from his position as head catcher and followed Huo Pingfan to Northern Xinjiang with his family.

The Dengxian Pavilion was ordered to stop construction, and the palace to be built on Qinan Mountain was demolished.

However, the first sixty-six palaces have not been affected and are still decorated with lights and colorful decorations because the opening ceremony originally scheduled for the first day of August will be held as scheduled.

The ninety people who died tragically in Xiangyang Village were all buried generously on Qinan Mountain. Only Wang Laizi was left alone in the originally peaceful and peaceful village.

The Chunxiao Tower is still full of music and flute playing every night, and the excitement remains unabated.

Chun Shiniang woke up laughing in her dreams for several days in a row, because her master changed from the uncle's palace to the official family, so her waist became even harder.

As night falls, the lanterns in the sixty-six palaces in front of Dengxian Pavilion are all lit, and the bright lights illuminate half of the sky.

Sixty-six palaces are entrenched on the top of sixty-six mountains, connected by winding corridors walking on the ridges, spanning dozens of miles from north to south.

Like a huge fire dragon flying in the night sky.

This magnificent and magnificent scene deeply shocked the hearts of everyone in the Imperial City.

Even Su Hanlin couldn't help but be moved by it.

He was very sure that Dengxian Pavilion would become the largest gold sales cave in the Great Su Empire, earning him a lot of money.

He is not afraid of rich people squandering their money, but he is afraid that they will hide their money under the bed and get moldy.

Money is called money only when it circulates, and can bring wealth to the empire. Money hidden under the bed and getting moldy will bring moldiness to the empire's economy.

This is what Qian Zhongjun, the Minister of Household Affairs, said, and Su Hanlin thinks it makes sense.

The night breeze blew slowly, and Wang Laizi sat in the lonely grave, holding the wine jar and crying.

Uncle Guo's Mansion.

Cao Deming sat in the yard, looking at the fire dragon across the southern sky, and grinned happily.

He felt that even if the palace behind the Dengxian Pavilion could not be built, the magnificent and world-shaking landscape in front of him could already make him the most romantic person in history.

He believed that in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years, whenever someone came to the imperial capital and saw the majestic Dengxian Pavilion, they would definitely be unable to help but ask who built it, and then someone would tell them that it was the imperial capital.

It was built with money from my uncle Cao Deming.

His name, Cao Deming, will be passed down through the ages together with Dengxian Pavilion.

"Liangji, it's such a pity that you didn't get to see this breathtaking and magnificent scenery. Just wait below, and I will tell you about it when I get down." Cao Deming looked at the brightly lit Dengxian Pavilion and couldn't help but feel in his heart.

Regretfully sighed.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps sounded in the corner of the yard, and along with the footsteps, a figure walked out of the darkness, and finally stopped in front of Cao Deming.

The maid serving Cao Deming in front of him closed her eyes and passed out before she could scream.

"Who are you?" Cao Deming stared at the visitor and asked in panic.

"Zhang Xiaopeng."

"What are you doing here?!" When Cao Deming heard this name, he was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

"Let me ask Uncle Guo a question."

"what is the problem?"

"I've been wondering these days, does Uncle Guo really not know what Shan Liangji did, or is he just pretending not to know?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.

Shan Liangji's confession that day was so thorough, his words were well-organized, and he covered all major and minor crimes. It felt like it had been planned in advance. The more Zhang Xiaozhu thought about it in the past few days, the more he felt that he was deliberately taking the blame on himself.

.

"Haha——" Cao Deming laughed when he heard this.

"why are you laughing?"

"Does it matter whether you know it now or not?"

"It's better to figure it out. Otherwise, if the devil is still in the world, how can the innocent soul rest in peace?"

"Do you think I deserve to die?"

"If you knew what Shan Liangji did, you would definitely die."

"Haha, do you think there is any difference between living and dead in my current state?"

"It is better to die than live."

"You really want to know the answer?"

"nature."

Cao Deming looked up at the brightly lit Dengxian Pavilion, his expression became gloomy and unclear. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said: "You are right in your suspicion. I know everything Shan Liangji did. Not only do I know, but everything is also

It was all what I ordered him to do."

He feels that the meaning of his life has been achieved, and there is nothing to regret if he dies now. On the contrary, it is a relief, because being overweight makes his life very uncomfortable every day.

His obesity was not caused by secretly adding drugs to his meals as Shan Liangji said. In fact, it was entirely the result of his overeating and not knowing how to control his appetite.

Zhang Xiaozu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly: "You really deserve to die!"

"I have committed a heinous crime, please kill me." Cao Deming wanted to die.

"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Zhang Xiaozu's eyes shot out two fierce lights.

"Of course you dare. You dare to break into the Shao family and kill me. Why don't you dare to kill my deposed uncle? But before I die, can I make a small request?" Cao Deming asked.

"explain."

"Please, after you kill me, please send a message to my family and ask them to bury me on the hilltop of the 66th Immortal Pavilion of Dengxian Pavilion." Cao Deming said.

"Oh, do you want to repent?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked with a sneer.

He learned from Shan Liangji that all the bad things done by the uncle's house were for the purpose of building the Dengxian Pavilion.

The purpose of forcing good girls into prostitution was to earn money for building the Dengxian Pavilion, and the massacre of Xiangyang Village was to remove the obstacles to the construction of the Dengxian Pavilion.

So when he heard Cao Deming say that he wanted to bury himself on the hilltop of Dengxian Pavilion, Zhang Xiaozu subconsciously thought that he wanted to repent and apologize to all the people who had been harmed by him because of the construction of Dengxian Pavilion.

However, when Cao Deming heard the word "repent", he was slightly startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Xiaozu asked angrily.

Cao Deming shook his head and smiled: "I have done many bad things, but I neither regret nor feel guilty, so why should I repent?"

"I will never repent!" Zhang Xiaozhu said angrily.

"Look back." Cao Deming raised his fat arm with difficulty and pointed at the brightly lit Dengxian Pavilion in the southern night sky.

Zhang Xiaozu looked in the direction of Cao Deming's finger.

Although he had just admired the majesty and magnificence of Dengxian Pavilion, he still couldn't help but feel shocked at the first glance.

Cao Deming looked proud and said: "Although Dengxian Pavilion cannot be built as a hundred palaces as I expected, these palaces alone are enough to make it go down in history and become the most majestic, majestic and shocking in human history.

, one of the greatest buildings.

This is the masterpiece of my life, Cao Deming, and my name will last forever with it.

And I firmly believe that future generations will have people who understand me, and they will continue to complete this unfinished magnificent building and fill the Dengxian Pavilion with a hundred palaces, or even more.

This is the inevitable result of the advancement of the wheel of history. A few graves of unknown people can only hinder it for a while, but not for a lifetime.

They will eventually be forgotten by the world and then bulldozed to make way for the great Dengxian Pavilion.

His Majesty must have seen this clearly, otherwise how could he allow the opening ceremony of Dengxian Pavilion to be held as scheduled?

Thinking about it, he also wants to have his name engraved on the Dengxian Pavilion and be immortalized together with him, right?

Ha ha--"

The more Cao Deming talked, the more excited he became, and his whole face became red with excitement.
