Taifu Mansion

Inside the study

Lin Weizhong took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Dechen, who was sitting on the guest chair with a faintly ugly face, sighed, and said: "Dechen, some things always have to be done slowly, what does it matter if you take a step today? Advance and retreat, left, right, right, are the rules of this court." ”

Zhang Dechen, who was dressed as a horseman, said: "It was the student who was reckless before, because Xiangye said before that if Xuanyi was allowed to participate in the court, the Surin Party would have a big disaster, so I don't understand why Xiangye wanted to back down today, the previous student's tone was too heavy, please forgive Xiangye." ”

Lin Weizhong shook his head and said: "Actually, Dechen, you don't understand, the old man doesn't care about the new party in the court, can it be that the old man can tolerate the next Beidangtang, can't he tolerate the next 'Xuanyi Party'? Whether it is Zhao Jishan or Li Sanzi, these actually don't matter, more than a hundred years after the Liezong, there are still fewer parties in this big business?"

"The old man doesn't care about how many knives the royal cast, those knives are all pointing to the rivers and lakes martial arts, and they have nothing to do with the overall situation of the imperial court, so the old man never cares. But now, what the old man is worried about is the prince of the prison country, who is playing like this, with a knife and the party, which makes people look at it in shock. The old man is worried that in the future, there will be a freak who wears the clothes of the court officials, meddles in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, stirs the court with one hand, and pulls out the martial arts with the other. ”

"Moreover, judging from what the current prince of the prison country and Li Sanzi are doing, it is very likely that such a situation will occur. At that time, many martial arts sects will be in danger of overturning, and those people of insight in the rivers and lakes will unite to resist the imperial court. And in the court, it has become chaotic because of the new party. ”

"At that time, there was chaos in the government, and the government decree was not working. There are martial arts people outside, and there is wolf smoke everywhere. The royal people are crazy and ruthless, and they will definitely recklessly mobilize the army on the edge of the town to return to quell the rebellion, causing the country to be empty and foreigners taking advantage of the situation. If that really happens, this big business country is not far from overturning. If the big merchant is not there, will there still be the Surin Party? This is the reason why the old man is wary of Li Sanzi and his Xuanyi. ”

Zhang Dechen's eyes were still full of doubts, which meant that he was asking, since Xiang Ye saw these problems, why did he choose to compromise on today's court meeting?

Seeing Zhang Dechen's question, Lin Weizhong snorted and said, "How can the old man not know about your doubts? Today's compromise is only because the old man inferred that it is not far from the time when the plum blossom thief is caught." Since Li Sanzi was able to cure a madman, how could he not find out the specific whereabouts of the plum blossom thief? It is better to take this opportunity to be a good favor with Li Sanzi. ”

"The way of this official, thinking about progress, thinking about retreating. When thinking forward, forge ahead. When thinking about retreating, compromise left and right. In terms of the worst-case scenario, if the 'Xuanyi Party' really gains a foothold in the court in the future, and the Surin Party befriends it and jointly suppresses the Beitang, at least there will be no chaos in the government decree. Or Su Lin formed an alliance with Beitang to squeeze out the new "Xuanyi Party" and beat back Li Sanzi's methods, which greatly reduced the internal friction. ”

"Although it won't crush him to death, at least it can make him dare not move, and the above two situations are at least stronger than a three-way melee. Today's retreat is the rebellion of the coming day, and it is not the old man's cowardice. Besides, Li Sanzi was able to catch the plum blossom thief, but he only took the first step, and the rest of the matter may not be so smooth. Moreover, as far as the old man is concerned, he may not be able to take this first step, so what else can he talk about?"

Zhang Dechen asked, "How can you see it?"

Lin Weizhong said with a smile: "Because of the Dong family, Chang Ningbo Bo will not watch Li Sanzi take this step. ”

Zhang Dechen was a little distracted when he heard this, and asked after a while: "Xiangye means that Dong Cunke will sabotage the matter of the Absolute Prince's arrest of the plum blossom thief?"

Lin Weizhong nodded and said, "Yes, either set up obstacles, or secretly intercept them, so that Li Sanzi will succeed at the critical moment." ”

When Zhang Dechen heard this, his hair suddenly opened, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "How dare he, Dong Cunke, do this? That plum blossom thief has many evil fruits and exterminates human nature, how dare he act so recklessly!"

Lin Weizhong sighed: "Compared with the 'Xuanyi Party' that may appear in the future, Chang Ningbo is more concerned about the matter of seizing the throne after the Supreme Daxing, and he and Li Sanzi are the enemies of life and death, so he will never let Li Sanzi take this first step." Besides, where is the humanity of most of the officials of this big businessman? How can he, Dong Cunke, be an exception?"

Zhang Dechen gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't Xiangye going to do something? If you let the students stop Dong Cunke, you won't be able to let him get his wish." ”

Lin Weizhong shook his head and said: "It's better not to, the water in this capital is already mixed enough, the four surnames of Zhenguo, Anle Wangfu, Changning's relatives, plus a Jing'an son, will always take advantage of the plum blossom thief to fight." If the old man lets you go out again......"

Speaking of this, Lin Weizhong bowed his hand slightly in the direction of the palace, and continued: "What will Your Majesty Supreme? But the madness in the bones of the royal people makes people have to guard against it, just like the inexplicable and wonderful war against the West, this court almost became a hall of words for His Majesty Supreme. ”

"And now, the Supreme is not far away, to say something against Tianwei, an emperor who has suppressed his madness for so many years will not be surprised if he does anything unbelievable when he is dying. The old man believes that His Majesty Supreme must know the current situation in the capital. It was through these things that the Supreme Master came to train the prince of the prison country. ”

Zhang Dechen nodded solemnly and said: "The student understands, it is precisely because of the madness of the royal family that the Surin Party will spare no effort to limit the monarch's power, and it is precisely because Ming Yuangong saw this that he founded the Surin Party." Please rest assured that students will not act privately. ”

Lin Weizhong nodded and said, "It's the best, just watch from the wall." Dechen, the old man knows that this is against the justice in your heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, please be patient......"

This time

Dali Temple Jisi Yamen

The eight arrests have arrived, Yu Huaisin sat in the hall, glanced at them, and said: "It's not easy for Ji Kousi to gather all the eight arrests, and most of them are in other places, so it's really rare to have a gathering this time." ”

The newly promoted iron capture "Chiba Great Compassion Hand" ancient scripture monk stood up and said unceremoniously: "Nan Wu Amitabha, there is only one word 'urgent' in the flying book of the judge, the poor monk really doesn't understand, what can be more urgent than the arrest of the 'death and disharmony' killer 'Poison Secret', and please make it clear to the judge." ”

Yu Huaisin didn't speak yet, only listened to the "shocking stick" Chu Zhong said viciously: "Master don't be impatient, this matter is indeed more important than tracking down the dead killer." Let's listen to Chu......"

Chu Chong's evil words had just begun, and he heard another iron catcher, "The river is crossing" Sha Qianyu sneered and said: "Chu Hunt still stays, I have also inquired clearly, but it is just a matter of a flower thief, but it is really ridiculous to work eight catches together." There are many flower thieves in this world, a thousand flower gentlemen, and there are not a few generations of prostitutes, so what's the matter?"

"Hundred folded hands" Zheng Chongrang echoed and sneered: "A plum blossom thief, the storm in the capital has changed, I don't know if you are incompetent, or this plum blossom thief is too powerful?"

Sha Qianyu followed and sneered: "Yes, I really don't know, it's just a little plum blossom thief, who actually makes you helpless, Sha Moujue's face is panicked now." ”

Such cold words and ridicule made the other five Tie Zhu in Beijing feel very uncomfortable, and there was a faint look of indignation on their faces.

In fact, since Yu Huaisin became an official, this kind of scene has often happened. The Eight Arrests are now divided into two factions, one is the old one and the other is the newcomer. New recruits always consciously or unconsciously suppress the characters of their predecessors in order to show their status.

And Yu Huaisin's ability to deal with these things is very poor, and he always wants to envelop the newcomer first, and wait for the situation to slowly adjust. So relying on the old friendship, let the old iron catchers tolerate everything. In this way, the new iron catchers are even more on the nose, thinking that the original iron catchers are not a big deal. Their legends are exaggerated by the Jianghu people.

At this moment, however, it is the time when the contradictions are intensifying.

Hearing such remarks, the upright-tempered "Iron Catch" Tie Buqu stood up directly, arched his hand at the hall official Yu Huaisin, and said, "Judge Yu, forgive me, I will not participate in this matter." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the hall regardless of the reactions of the others.

Zheng Chongrang watched him leave, and sneered: "A waste who has been imprisoned by the Kongtong faction for several months still has such a big temper, and I don't know when he will learn to be obedient." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the sound of the song "Walking Alone" lifted his weapon "Iron Pickaxe", stood up, looked at Zheng Chongrang fiercely, and gradually walked towards him, and said coldly: "You say it again, so that a certain family can hear it clearly." ”

Zheng Chongrang saw that he had the intention of doing something, and he didn't care. The son of a Qi family found an errand in Jikou Si to support his old age. I heard that the little grandfather of the Duke of Qi, that is, his cousin, was called Qu Mingsheng, and was killed by the 'Absolute Son', he didn't dare to make the slightest move, such a person is just a waste.

With a contemptuous smile on his face, he didn't put this iron-blooded catcher who has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, a pair of iron pickaxes and invincible in his eyes, he was confident that such a person who had been passed on by others could only knock down eight with one hand.

So he looked at the sound of the song that was gradually coming, and said lightly: "Waste, waste, waste! He is a waste if he doesn't bend......!

Before the word "like" could be spoken, the iron pickaxe of the sound of the song had already slashed towards the top of his head!
