Chapter 6: Fifty Sticks
"What do people give you money for no reason? Don't hurry up yet! Li Chu's eyes flashed, not angry and arrogant, those gangsters were about to speak, and someone in the crowd spoke, "What kind of cannibal gang, we only recognize General Sima, as long as General Sima did it, then it must be right!" We have no objections! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it was completely the meaning of three hundred taels of silver here, Li Chu's eyebrows furrowed, and he swept through the crowd, but he didn't find the person who spoke just now, and then looked at the people with strange expressions, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

Just as Li Chu was entangled, Jin Yuan suddenly jumped off the wall, jumped three times in succession, jumped into the crowd, caught a short middle-aged man, threw it in front of Li Chu, and clapped his hands.
"General Sima, what does this mean? It's not the grass people who said it! General Sima has arrested the wrong person! The short man lowered his head, and his voice was thick with fear.
The voice in the crowd was louder and full of neutrality, but the voice of the person in front of him was very delicate, and he thought he was a scholar without looking at his clothes.
"Did you catch it by mistake?"
"yes, that's too much of a voice."
There were more and more people in the crowd who asked questions, Li Chu looked at Jin Yuan, only to hear Jin Yuan shouting: "You guy, don't pretend, I obviously saw you talking just now, what are you doing with your head down like this?" Afraid that others won't know that you are the five rats of the Western Capital? ”
The Five Rats of the Western Capital does not refer to the gangsters like the five rats, but a gangster can speak more than five kinds of voices, but there is a legend that his own voice is as ugly as a mouse, so he got the name of the Five Rats of the Western Capital.
Seeing that his true face was exposed, the five rats of the Western Capital gritted their teeth and lowered their heads deeper, without opening their mouths to say another word.
The people around were in an uproar again, obviously they were also very familiar with the name of the Five Rats of the Western Capital, Li Chu raised his hand and signaled to take people away, are there any other rumors among these three or four hundred people?
Yes! And there are quite a few! But what's the use of catching them? It's just taking people's money to do things for others, and with this Western Capital Five Rats, it is not difficult to find out who is behind the scenes!
The northern Sichuan army hurriedly withdrew its troops without saying a word, and the three or four hundred people were shocked, for fear that Li Chu would regret it, they all dispersed, and many people praised Li Chu's wit.
Li Jingyao's mouth Zhao arrived at this time, Jin Yuan was not worried about following but was stopped by Li Chu, told him to interrogate the five rats of the Western Capital, and rushed to the palace on horseback.
"Ministers and courtesies see the emperor!" After Li Chu entered the hall, he stepped forward and bowed without saying a word, and his movements were so fluent and rapid that Zhou Yongnan, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask, "Where did General Sima come back from?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Li Chu glanced at Zhou Yongnan, and saw that there was a faint sense of pride and joy on his face, and he understood that everything that happened today must have been done by him, and immediately smiled back: "I arrested a few troublemakers, and I was interrogating them just now, and I can't wait to tell the emperor when I get the result." ”
Li Jingyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "But you are burdened by the rumors that you are relying on a false son?" ”
Li Chu nodded and said seriously: "I heard a rumor on the street today, saying that the minister is a false son, and this false son is a wanted criminal by the imperial court, if the minister is left alone, then the emperor will definitely misunderstand the minister." It's nothing to be wronged, it's just ......"
Zhou Yongnan paused when he saw Li Chu, looked at himself, his heart jumped suddenly, guessing if he knew anything, and quickly listened to Li Chu continue, "It's just that some people are not pure-minded and want to pave the way for themselves by suppressing the minister, and it is nothing for the minister to be this cannon fodder, but if the title of the emperor is criticized because of this, then it is the biggest sin of the minister." ”
Li Jingyao nodded, raised his eyes and said, "Then are you?" ”
Li Chu didn't expect Li Jingyao's question, and when he met his gaze, his brain reacted quickly, but instead looked at him with grievances and pain, he opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "The minister is not ......"
"Oh, no......" Li Jingyao nodded, turned his gaze away, and didn't look at Li Chu's hot gaze, he knew that his temptation must have been seen by Li Chu, which made Li Jingyao slightly embarrassed.
Zhou Yongnan took advantage of the fact that neither of them spoke, and interjected: "The rumors on the street are true, but is it too bold for General Sima to transfer his military power without permission?" I don't know, I thought that General Sima was going to bring soldiers to the palace! ”
When Li Chu heard this, he suddenly knelt down on his knees, did not hide his mistake at all, and said sincerely: "The minister is bold and reckless, please punish the emperor." ”
Li Jingyao did not respond, just before the arrival of Li Chu, Zhou Yongnan said countless precedents of generals holding power and usurping the throne, although he knew that Li Chu was not such a person, but recently he saw that Li Chu was indeed a little arbitrary, and his heart was a little entangled.
The two of them were brothers and sisters before, and they also begged Li Chu to come back to help them, but now if they are punished, it will chill Li Chu's heart and slap their faces, but if they are not punished, he Li Jingyao is really worried that Li Chu will become the second Li Zhaozheng, and he will be lawless and reckless!
"General Sima knowingly committed a crime, and fined fifty military sticks to show the people!" Before Li Jingyao finished speaking, Zhou Yongnan rushed to speak, "Your Majesty! That's too light! ”
Li Jingyao raised his hand to stop him, and said with a tired face: "The prime minister doesn't need to say any more, I think that such a strict discipline is enough......"
The hatred in Zhou Yongnan's heart became deeper and deeper, if this was considered a strict precept, then wouldn't those generals who died because of their mistakes be so angry that they wanted to crawl out of the coffin?
But Li Jingyao didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and left the imperial study with Sheng Zhi behind his back, and hurried to see Concubine Shu.
Li Chu looked at Zhou Yongnan and said with a smile: "How many military sticks does Prime Minister Zhou think is appropriate?" ”
Since Zhou Yongnan had already decided to tear off his face, he refused to give any face, turned his head and snorted coldly, Li Chu approached him with a smile, and said softly: "If the prime minister can't hold his breath, then Li Chu will come to help the prime minister." ”
Zhou Yongnan forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, his eyebrows trembled a few times and he couldn't bear to look at him, pretending to be indifferent, Li Chu had no intention of continuing, and walked out of the hall with a dry laugh.
Outside the palace, there was a person holding a purple sword, his hand holding the sword was shaking, his eyes were full of murderous energy, as if he was waiting for some enemy who shared the sky.
Li Chu rode his horse for only a few steps, then stopped his horse, looked at the person in front of him in surprise and shouted, "Wen Lu?!" Are you crazy? Isn't it looking for death to appear here? Hurry up and get on the horse and go! ”
Liu Wenlu didn't say anything, turned over and followed behind Li Chu, and didn't stop until a long pavilion.
