Chapter 288: Thunder Fury

"Fly, horse, thief—" The saint bit the word very hard, and spoke very slowly, but none of the people who served in the temple of Ganlu dared to raise their heads.

I don't know how long it took, but the sage Fang lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zhou Hang had already interrogated his subordinates thousands of times, but the more his subordinates talked, the more certain they became, but he became suspicious. But at such a time, he did not have the right to say "no", and he could only gamble hard, and said categorically: "Back to the saint!" Absolutely true! This person's surname is Zhang Mingxiong, and he is a person from Hanyang, and he is also a figure among the Pegasus thieves. ”

"Get up!" The saint endured the anger in his heart and "waited in the side hall." After that, he took a few deep breaths, Kuang Min saw this, and was busy serving tea. As soon as the saint's hand touched the tea bowl, the sound of the porcelain colliding sounded crisply, and the hands couldn't help shaking, and they didn't slow down at all.

When the sage heard this, he couldn't control it anymore, and threw the tea bowl out: "Beast! ”

Kuang Min shrunk his neck, not daring to squeak, seeing the saint angry like this, he was a little distressed, thinking of the "Pegasus Thief", but joy bloomed with 'flowers' - the Pegasus Thief is a ringing horse entrenched in the northwest, relying on superb riding skills and strict organization, specializing in robbing passing merchants, and even robbing the families of officials who have gone to work and returned to their hometowns. In the end, the sage felt that the influence was too bad, so he transferred the 'elite' to the past, and it was easy to exterminate it. As for the captured Pegasus thieves, they didn't tolerate it, and they came to the capital and beheaded them immediately after going through a procedure, but today......

He saw that the saint didn't speak for a long time, lest the saint be angry, so he pondered for a moment before saying, "Commander Zhou may not be accurate, I heard that the person is burning to the core—"

"If you can tell what it looks like!" The saint's face was uncertain, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice, "Call Ke'er, the fourth, the sixth, the seventh, and the eighth into the palace!" Order people to surround the mansion of Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing, Zhang Rong, you send someone to go and ask about the situation. ”

Kuang Min immediately sang a promise, listened to the sage's series of orders and orders, the slightest bit was good, knowing that the sage still had the upper hand with reason, he let go of a hanging heart, and was about to do it, but heard the sage say: "Wait, bring the prime ministers, Wei Tuo and Pei Xixuan in, and wait in the side hall first!" Let Zhou Hang immediately send someone to the prison of the Criminal Department and Shangdang County, and be sure to get the most accurate information! ”

Hearing this order, Kuang Min was also a little suspicious - there was a problem with the death row prisoner, and at this moment, this is a family ugly, what are you doing calling the prime ministers to do?

Although the kings got the news of the fire in Yongshoufang, they didn't know it for a while, and before they had time to discuss a charter with their staff, they were urgently summoned into the palace by Jin Wuwei. When I met the saint, it was okay for the careless people like King Han, and the sage like King Zhao and King Lu seemed to be much older, and they "chuckled" in their hearts, not knowing what was going on, and they felt quite uneasy.

King Wei guessed that it was Lijing's 'door' that happened, but he didn't know whether Chang Qing had succeeded or not, his face was calm, and he was a little uneasy in his heart. But Qin Ke was the most relaxed, he didn't understand what was going on at all, and when there was a major event in the court, the sage needed him to decorate the 'door' face, as usual, he just echoed the sage.

The saint looked around at the sons, and saw that the eldest son was not in a state, and the other four sons were a little nervous, and knew that they had all received the news.

He didn't take his eyes off for half a minute, and scolded angrily: "Sixth, kneel down for me!" ”

King Wei's heart tightened, and he knelt down subconsciously, Qin Ke was startled, and just about to say something, he heard the sage ask: "The thief who set the fire today, named Zhang Xiong, is the old department of the Pegasus thief." Speaking of this, the saint gritted his teeth and said in a tone like ice, "Didn't he be executed ten years ago?" Where did this big living person come from? ”

Zhang Xiong? Not evergreen?

King Wei never thought that this kind of thing would happen, and the sage was vague, it sounded like Zhang Xiong was not dead. He didn't know how much the other party had 'handed over', and he was a little flustered and at a loss for a while, but he immediately stabilized and pleaded on the ground: "My son deserves to die, please forgive my father." ”

King Han's eyebrows were raised, and he wanted to go up and beat the water dog - he was just a little sloppy, and he was not stupid, how could he not understand what King Wei meant? Want to avoid the important and get away with it? It also depends on whether you allow it or not!

Seeing this, King Lu hurriedly pulled King Han, and before King Han had time to look angrily, the sage had already grabbed a book of folds and threw it at King Wei fiercely, hitting the forehead of King Wei, and blood came out at the time, which shows how much force the sage used.

Rao is King Han is unscrupulous, and when he sees this scene, he doesn't dare to put on a usual arrogant appearance, let alone Qin Ke. In the huge Ganlu Temple, only the roar of the saint could be heard: "I let you be in charge of the punishment department, not to let you turn a blind eye, let alone let you bend the law for 'personal gain'!" How neat are your cases? What about the verdict? What about the decisiveness of dealing with corrupt officials? ”

Speaking of this, the saint took a breath, and the anger in his tone became more and more lacking: "I still think that you are a person who does practical things, and who expects you to be a pompous person in front of you. There is such a big mistake in the criminal department, you can't escape the blame, go back to me and reflect on it! I don't want to see you until I truly repent! ”

When King Han and King Zhao heard this, they were overjoyed, even if they were also King Lu, they couldn't restrain the joy in their hearts - the sage's words undoubtedly took all the powers of King Wei captive, and he was not even allowed to go to court! Of course, real power is secondary, and more importantly, King Wei is not a prince who has been canonized!

When the crown prince suffers such a reprimand, the government will still move 'swing', and the king of Wei ...... Qin Ke no longer knows this point, thinking that the 'daughter' is still in the Su family, if the king of Wei loses power and other brothers ascend the throne, I am afraid that the fate of the Su family will not be good, so he hurriedly said: "Father, the sixth brother is not ......."

"Shut up-" the saint's eyes were terrifying, "you stay well, don't 'interject' if you don't understand!" ”

Qin Ke shrunk his neck, not daring to say anything more.

The sage felt that the eldest son was a little unreadable, but when he saw that the other sons did not mean to speak for King Wei, he was a little disappointed, and his tone was a little more stern: "And the three of you!" If I find out that I have neglected my duties and used my power for personal gain, I will also go back! Although I have few sons, I also have grandchildren and nephews, and you are not the only ones missing! ”

Speaking of this, the saint's heart also sank.

This is the case if the son is not used, his ability is not full, but his 'selfishness' is bigger than the other. As soon as he thought of this, he didn't want to see any of his sons, so he waved his hand again and again: "Go back to me, so I can reflect!" ”

The Zaifu were waiting in the side hall, already a little surprised, secretly wondering if there was something wrong with a fire? When he entered the Ganlu Temple, he saw that the atmosphere was not right, and became more and more cautious, so he heard the sage say coldly: "The matter has come to this, and I will not hide it from you, this fire today was put by the old Pegasus thief, and the culprit is ...... It's a man who should have been dead for ten years. In the end, the saint couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He also didn't want to think badly about his son, and was willing to believe that the other party was not capable enough, so that the Pegasus Thief had a chance to escape a few people, but he didn't dare to report it, so he had a show today, but the time was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.

The saint has not forgotten that in the secret prison of Lijing's 'door', the one who caused the bloody case, in addition to the dead one, there is also an unknown person! This person's ruthlessness and alertness are the concerns of the saint.

Such a person, if he lets the other party wander outside, it is easy to pull up a vote of brothers, and then 'get' a "Pegasus thief" to come out and threaten the court, then it is not good.

Besides, the saint has another layer of consideration—if the other party is co-opted, there will be infighting...... This is the reason why he took away all the power of King Wei, and even planned to send someone to watch it.

The saint allowed his son to attack each other in the court in order to seize the throne, on the condition that he did not involve too much, harm the loyal and good, and make the courtiers cold; But he couldn't tolerate his son's murder and arson at every turn in order to seize the throne, implicating countless people. In order to kill a Qiu Yu, half of the street was about to burn down, and Lijing's 'door' prison became a hell on earth, which was what the saint hated the most!

When the prime ministers heard this, they were horrified and didn't need to mention it, Zhang Rong immediately knelt down and said hurriedly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

Ten years ago, he was doing the imperial history, and the three divisions had to pass through him, and the remnants of the Pegasus thief survived, and he had to take on some responsibility.

Xu Mi, the new prime minister, was constrained by Deng Jiang everywhere, and intended to win over Zhang Rong, so he said: "Your Majesty, the old Pegasus thief did all kinds of evil, causing the people to complain, and now he is doing this act of losing his conscience." The imperial court should behead this person for three days, and the old Pegasus thief is wanted to set an example, so that the 'chaotic' ministers and thieves have no place to hide! ”

His meaning is very clear - whether this person died ten years ago or not, let's investigate it secretly, and we must not announce it, at least the dignitaries and nobles involved in this case will deal with a lot of them in one breath. Now we should do a good job of superficial work and give the people of the world, especially the people of Chang'an, a 'handover' generation. Otherwise, it will be even worse to delay for a day or two, and let the ignorant people or those with intentions get some signs and warnings.

It stands to reason that after Xu Mi finished expressing his opinion, it was time for Deng Jiang to speak. In order to exonerate King Wei, Deng Jiang also prepared a belly of words to say, but who expected Pei Xi to take a step forward and resolutely said: "Your Majesty, if the old Pegasus thief dares to commit a crime in Chang'an, he must rely on it." Wei Chen thought that the situation in the west may be uncertain, and the imperial court should prepare early! ”

This sounds normal at first glance, but it is actually poisonous.

'Chaos' thieves, dare to go against the court, and have received support from the outside world. Chang'an is located in the northwest, if the Son of Heaven can be 'forced' away from Chang'an, it will undoubtedly shake the world, and it will also make many people fear the alien race and dare not make enemies with it. Because of this, no matter how stupid the alien races in the north and south were, they did not have as strong a desire for the alien races in the west to send troops to attack Great Xia.

This explanation is reasonable, and anyone who listens to it will nod again and again, but if a premise is added, Su Rui, the brother-in-law of King Wei, is the protector of Anxi, no one can help but think about it.
