Li Fuguo buried his head in the snow pit, clenched his teeth tightly, and did not react even if he was scolded more than one voice, and he was still making the last fantasies, what if he could get away with it? However, how could there be so many luck in this world? Soon, a pair of big hands were placed on his shoulders, and the iron tongs lifted him up like a chicken.

"Are you deaf or scared stupid? We have to do it ourselves, dirty our hands......

The soldiers carrying Li Fuguo mocked Li Fuguo recklessly, this once powerful eunuch was hated by others, especially this person who wanted to put Doctor Qin to death several times, of course the Shenwu army could not bypass him.

At this point, Li Fuguo knew that he was in a catastrophe, although he had the heart to maintain his dignity as a general, but after all, he didn't have the courage and confidence, and only begged for mercy:

"You, let me go, as long as you let me go, everyone has a weight, a heavy reward!"

The soldier who was carrying Li Fuguo seemed to be intending to play the trick of cat and mouse, so he looked at him playfully and asked:

'I don't know how much the general's bounty is?'

Li Fuguo also took it seriously, and promised repeatedly:

"As long as the generals let me go, the reward is a thousand gold, no, a reward of ten thousand gold......"

Syllable!

A loud slap slapped Li Fuguo on the left side of his face, and soon his face was also hit hard. These two slaps immediately stunned him, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but driven by the survival instinct, he couldn't help but cry for mercy:

"If you can't do it, you can make 100,000 gold, as long as you let me go......"

Finally, someone couldn't help but look at him bragging, so he refuted:

"Don't say 100,000 gold, you can't even take out 10 gold, right?

"Whoever goes shopping is raised by a concubine, and I do have mountains of gold and silver, but I just have to bother you to come with me and go to Lingwu to get it!"

Li Fuguo did loot a lot of property in Lingwu, and this time he returned to Chang'an without taking it with him, but found a hidden place outside the city to hide, and planned to wait for the future to regain a foothold in Chang'an before sending someone to pick it up, but who would have expected that people are not as good as heaven, and he has already ended up like this before returning to Chang'an.

The soldiers of the Shenwu Army felt that Li Fuguo was taking them for fools, and some people were already starting to get impatient, pushing him to take him to Yanzhou, which was the closest to here. However, Li Fuguo thought that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army would correct the law on the spot, so he was so frightened that he lay on the ground again, and refused to get up no matter how much he wanted.

In the end, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army completely lost their patience, so they couldn't help but tie it up like a zongzi, as for Pei Jing's explanation when he left, if he caught Li Fuguo, he would treat him well.

It wasn't until it was dark that Li Fuguo realized that he was thinking too much, and although these soldiers of the Shenwu Army were very unkind to him, they didn't seem to have the intention of correcting them on the spot.

However, these soldiers did not enter Yanzhou City, because they received a military order from Pei Jing halfway through, and they explained that if Li Fuguo was caught, they would send the whole living person directly to Chang'an.

The hundred-person Shenwu army had to gallop south along the official road, and Li Fuguo had to be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible.

In this way, only two days later, Li Fuguo was sent to Chang'an. When Qin Jin heard the news that Li Fuguo had been captured alive, he still excitedly hummed the tune he had just heard.

Catching Li Fuguo plays an extremely important role in stabilizing the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, otherwise, if Li Fuguo is allowed to wander around Guanzhong like a wandering ghost, there will always be another group of local gentry and officials from all over the country gathered around him, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if he dies, there may still be people who pretend to be in his name and cause chaos.

Now that Li Fuguo has been caught, the situation is very different, if he can be justifiably tried publicly, and then his crime is announced to the rest of the world, it doesn't matter whether this person is alive or dead. Of course, according to Qin Jin's meaning, Li Fuguo will die sooner or later, and if this person does not die, there will inevitably be a large number of officials whose anger will not be vented.

Li Fuguo is not much better than Yu Chaoen, from the first year of Zhide to the present, there are not hundreds but thousands of ministers who have been persecuted by this eunuch, from the important ministers of the second grade, to the county lieutenants who only have the eighth grade, and all of them are eager to peel and cramp and eat their flesh raw.

The torture of peeling and cramping Qin Jin did not intend to use it on Li Fuguo, but even if he was given a happy end and died neatly, it could be regarded as a suitable explanation for the persecuted civil and military officials.

"Doctor, Li Fuguo is crying in prison to see the doctor......"

The words of the military officials were also expected by Qin Jin, and it would be strange if Li Fuguo was really willing to die.

However, Qin Jin doesn't seem to see him now, and the current Li Fuguo is like a crow with broken wings, which has no real use except for a miserable howl. To be honest, he did not have the common discrimination against people with physical disabilities like eunuchs, but Li Fuguo's behavior was too disappointing to him, or rather disgusting.

Let Li Fuguo rot in prison, and slowly feel the whole process of being eaten by unknown death.

Qin Jin didn't go to see Li Fuguo because he had another person to visit in person, that is, the number one contributor to the assassination of Ma Xiangzhong Bajie, Cui Lian.

When he saw Cui Lian, this thin old man looked good, and his eyes also showed an active look that was rarely seen before, but his body was still weak as if he couldn't bear the breeze. In fact, Qin Jin had already received a report from the imperial doctor in the palace, and after a detailed diagnosis and treatment of Cui Lian, they came to a unanimous conclusion, that is, Cui Xianggong had lost too much qi and blood in the water prison, and time was running out.

As far as the truth is concerned, Qin Jin's impression of Cui Jian is very good, this person is a brave and knowledgeable talent, who can be a pillar of the country, but it is a pity that useful people cannot be used by Qin Jin. This ambivalence is like the regret he has every time he sees Chen Qianli.

However, Qin Jin will not make the same mistake again, and for people with different aspirations, even if they can't be suppressed, they will never be promoted to critical positions. For example, on the issue of treating Cui Lian, Qin Jin hinted that the political affairs hall treated him with high-grade officials, but he could not be entrusted with important tasks.

This arrangement is also in Xia Yuanji's hands, with Cui Lian's qualifications and popularity, if he returns to the political hall, he will inevitably be subordinated to it, which is definitely not what he is happy to see.

Xia Yuanji was standing behind Qin Jin, he originally heard about Cui Lian's physical condition, and secretly rejoiced for a while, but when he saw Cui Lian, who was still in good spirits, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, could it be that the imperial doctor's diagnosis was wrong?

Unlike this, Qin Jin can see that this is by no means a good spirit, it is clearly a return to the light......

After realizing that Cui Jian will die soon, Qin Jin felt a little sad from the bottom of his heart, since he came to the end of the prosperous era, those familiar characters have become ancient, and now even a pragmatic and resolute person like Cui Jian will soon be ......

"Doctor Qin came to see the old man, the old man was very happy, let's go, you and I take a walk in the garden, talk ......"

Of course, Cui Jian has something to say, although he has suffered unimaginable torture under the persecution of the Tubo people, and is now sick and miserable, he is still very concerned about the current political affairs inside and outside Cheng'an, and he has been silently paying attention to and understanding the major events that have happened when he comes in.

From the execution of the traitors who colluded with Tibet, to the selection of the crown prince, to the welcome back of the Son of Heaven. These major events that happened in the court were all one by one, and they turned over and over again in his heart. Seeing this, Xia Yuanji was also very interested, so he said that it was cold outside, and he wanted to roast and drink tea in the hall.

At this time, the sun was just at the beginning, and the cold air of early winter was also the weakest time of the day, so the servant put on a fox fur coat for Cui Lian, and he slowly walked towards the door. Several servants wanted to follow and support them all the way, but they were politely sent away by him.

Qin Jin hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed Cui Han's right arm, and walked with him to the path between the gardens.

This trail is neatly tied, but in the past, Cui Lian, as the prime minister, never paid attention to it here, and there were countless official duties waiting to be disposed of every day, where is there still leisure to visit the garden and enjoy the scenery?

After a long time, Cui Jian sighed.

"The old man knows today that the scenery of this garden is not inferior to the Palace Forbidden Forest Garden!"

Qin Jin continued:

"The old man has a lot of opportunities and has worked hard for half his life, it's time to calm down. ”

Cui Lian's voice trembled a little.

"Meditation? The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. If the world is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and the old man is willing to entertain himself, but look at this world, it is full of devastation......"

Speaking of this, Cui Lian's mood fluctuated slightly, he calmed down for a while, and changed the topic sharply.

"The old man heard that Dr. Qin welcomed back the Son of Heaven, and he has already assisted the Son of Heaven in establishing the candidate for the crown prince, but I don't know when he plans to return to the Son of Heaven?"

In fact, Qin Jin was ready to be questioned by Cui Jian when he came, but he still didn't expect this old man to be so straightforward.

Regarding this question, Qin Jin asked himself that he would definitely not be able to satisfy Cui Lian, so he had to pretend to be confused.

"Qin Jin didn't understand what the old minister said, since the restoration of Chang'an, Qin Jin's official envoy has not changed, and he has never entered the political hall, and everything in Chang'an depends on Xia Xianggong's management, so how can he return to the government?"

As he spoke, Qin Jin could feel that the right arm he was holding tightly gradually became stiff and cold, and Cui Jian pushed him hard, shook him off, and walked on the path between the gardens.

"The old man still mistook you, he always thought that you could do your best for Kuang Fu Sheji, but now it seems that he is with those who are plotting to usurp the throne...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Lian coughed violently excitedly.
