Chapter 240: Punish the Thief
When Su Shi was worried and ready to lobby around, the life of the Criminal Department was quite difficult.
A team of officials was about to go out to buy food, but they were directly blocked back by the angry soldiers.
A young man who stayed up all night, his eyes were red, and the corners of his face were becoming more and more angry, stopped the official of the criminal department, and said angrily: "Our future is gone, you still want to eat, eat!" β
"That's right! We have no future, and you don't want to live! β
"A ** thief, he deserves to starve to death, save food for the imperial court!"
"Whoever dares to take a step forward, you are welcome!"
The scholars had nowhere to vent their anger, and stared at this group of three officials. Some rolled up their sleeves, some took bricks, and some held all kinds of strange 'weapons' such as burning sticks and hoes, and the 'big war' was about to break out.
The three officials were still very angry, and some were even ready to draw their swords, but when they saw dozens of people gathered around, and there were more angry eyes, they instantly coaxed, and retreated one after another.
Inside the yamen of the Criminal Department.
Many people quietly observed the outside through the crack in the door or the wall, and saw that these people still refused to retreat, and the surrounding water could not be drained, and they couldn't get out at all, feeling hungry in their stomachs, and couldn't help but feel more sad.
These scholars can't be beaten or scolded, if they arouse their anger and come in directly over the wall, I'm afraid something big will happen!
Cai Jing's duty room.
Cai Jing didn't sleep all night, and the scholars outside could rush in at any time, where could he sleep, his face was not moving, and he was very vigilant in his heart.
The two waiters, Langzhong, and the five outsiders didn't dare to sleep, who could sleep for such a big thing?
The chief bookkeeper came in, looked at the big people's scarlet eyes, and their faces were sleepy, hesitated, but still said: "The officials tried several times, but they couldn't get out." β
The stomach of a foreigner rattled a few times in an extremely cooperative manner.
The others' expressions moved, and they didn't speak, but their eyes all looked at Cai Jing.
This matter was provoked by Cai Jing, and only Cai Jing can solve it.
One of the left attendants looked at the tea that had been drunk in front of him, pursed his dry lips, and said, "Shangshu, don't you really plan to withdraw that script?" β
The dilemma of the Criminal Department is from Cai Jing's script, as long as Cai Jing is willing to withdraw, everything will be solved.
Cai Jing rubbed his aching eyebrows, and said lightly: "You guys go and rest first, there is an official here to watch." β
Seeing that Cai Jing refused to let go, everyone had said everything they could persuade last night, so they could only shake their heads and come out one after another.
They stayed up all night, and there must be more trouble during the day today, and some of them are still thinking about getting something to eat.
Cai Jing watched everyone leave, so he exhaled lightly, and his expression slowly relaxed, but the corners of his mean face were like knives, and he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
How can Cai Jing return? If he withdraws at this time, then in Zhao Xu's eyes, he is still the traitorous villain who is left and right, snakes and rats at both ends.
Therefore, this time, even if his head is broken and his head is in a different place, he will persevere to the end!
Don't hold back even half a step!
Cai Jing didn't say much this night, and he was thinking about the attitude of Zhao Xu, Zhang Dian and others, thinking about it, and regretting it more and more.
"I'm still in a hurry." Cai Jing sighed lightly, he had been hanging for almost half a year, eager to regain the Sacred Heart, this recital, in a hurry.
"What's the hurry?" Just as Cai Jing sighed, a young man outside the door walked in, leaning against the door a little frivolously, picking his teeth with one hand.
Cai Jing looked at Cai You, frowned suddenly, and then was stunned, and said, "How did you get in?" β
Cai You was dressed in regular clothes, agitated his mouth, and said casually: "Standing in the crowd and scolding a few words, rushing forward, taking advantage of people who are not prepared to climb over the wall to come in." β
Cai Jing didn't care what he scolded, and immediately asked, "What's going on outside?" Any news? β
The criminal department was surrounded by water, and Cai Jing didn't know anything about the outside.
Cai You walked over slowly, kicked over a stool, sat down slowly, his tone was flat, he couldn't hear joy, and said, "There is no movement, there is no wind in the political hall." β
Cai You has not been very happy recently, because the name change of the Imperial City Division was rejected by Zhao Xu. And he also knew that Zhao Xu had formed another 'Qingtianwei', which was not good news for him, and it was not good for him.
Cai Jing looked at Cai You, his heart changed, he suddenly approached, and said in a low voice: "Find a way to get clichΓ©s from Daguan Chen's mouth." β
Chen Daguan refers to tangerine peel.
Cai You's eyes flashed with anger and dissatisfaction, but his expression was not hidden, and he still nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" β
Cai Jing didn't seem to see Cai You's dissatisfied expression, pondered, and said, "There will definitely be a wave of impeachment of me outside, don't act rashly." Something has been very wrong with him lately, very different from what he used to be, I guess he is planning something, you and my father and son don't become his scapegoats. β
Cai You's expression was solemn, and he thought of the 'Qingtian Guard' again, with that 'Qingtian Wei' here, he, the Imperial City Division, could be thrown out at any time!
Cai Jing saw that Cai You listened, so he said: "Has the murderer behind the fire of Kaifeng Mansion been found?" β
Cai You originally thought that Cai Jing's matter had little to do with him, but now he understands that their father and son are grasshoppers on a rope, how dare they take it lightly, and said without concealment: "That matter should be a combination of inside and outside, I found a few suspicious people, but Kaifeng Mansion is now busy preparing for the 'new law', Han Zongdao warned me in front of Su Song, Zhang Dan, and the second uncle in the political affairs hall that if you move the people of Kaifeng Mansion, you must greet him first, otherwise he will take me directly." β
Han Zongdao is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, or the governor of the political affairs hall, he is the deputy minister, he really wants to get the handle to arrest Cai You, Cai You is really right.
In the final analysis, he, the commander of the Imperial City Division, is only a five-grade person, and if he loses Zhao Xu's support, and Zhang Dian doesn't care, let alone the political affairs hall, he can't afford to offend any of the big people in the six departments.
Cai Jing was not surprised, and said: "Han Zongdao is a faΓ§ade of the change pushed by the official family, and it is really impossible to provoke at this time." The use of other methods is nothing more than coercion and inducement. This matter is clear, even if Zhang Dian and others want to take the blame for us, it is not easy. β
Cai You hesitated a little, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." β
Cai Jing's heart was somewhat relaxed, smelling the fragrance of vegetables on Cai You's body, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his stomach squirmed.
At this moment, Cai Bian came out of the palace and was on his way to Kaifeng Mansion.
A few days after the end of the court holiday, Kaifeng Mansion, as the first pilot, poured almost all the energy of the green tile house.
Before arriving at Kaifeng Mansion, Cai Bian, who was sitting in a sedan chair, was stopped.
This is a strong man of about fifty, full of pampered wealth and wealth, with a cold face at the moment, with his hands behind his back, blocking Cai Bian's way.
Cai Bian opened the curtain and looked at it, with a headache, this is already the third place today.
Ningyuan Marquis Gu Zhengyang watched Cai Bian lift the curtain, and said directly in a cold voice: "Cai Xianggong, if you don't give me an explanation today, if you want to leave, step on me!" β
Marquis Ning Yuan is a second-class duke, and his ancestor is a person who fought the world with Emperor Taizu Taizong, and he has been glorious for generations, where can he easily offend?
Cai Bian tidied up his clothes, smiled on his face, raised his hand and said, "Ning Yuanhou, what are you doing here?" I have not offended you. β
Gu Zhengyang sneered and said, "You are not offended, but Brother Ling is not so simple as offending!" He is going to cut off the way of life for the people of the world! Cai Yuandu, let me tell you, if you don't explain it clearly today, I will take out the Danshu iron coupon today and split your brothers alive, and when the time comes, the official family will have nothing to say! β
Yuan Du, Cai Bian's word.
Cai Bian was very sure that the Gu family did not have Danshu iron coupons, but he knew that Gu Zhengyang was angry, his eyes were calm, and a wry smile appeared on his face, and said: "Master Hou, it's all a matter of chasing wind and shadows, in the political hall, this matter has never been discussed, don't listen to rumors......"
Gu Zhengyang saw Cai Bian depressed, walked directly to the side, took a sword from the hand of his subordinate, pulled it out with a sonorous sound, leaned it in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Cai Yuandu, you either give me the truth today, or I will use this sword to punish the national thief!" Even if Your Majesty and the court blame me afterwards, I, Gu Zhengyang, are worthy of my Gu family's ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of my Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty! β
