A few days later, Yang Xiu was furious when he heard that Long Yigong had been robbed, Lei Ming and Sun Gui had been killed on the spot, and Zuo Tiancheng's whereabouts were unknown.

After calming down, he felt that something was wrong, so he consulted with his officials.

Many of these officials had brains, and when they heard it, they guessed that this matter was likely to be related to Emperor Yang Guang.

However, Yang Xiu still pretended to be smart, and when the Emperor Taishang died, he was afraid that Yang Guang would detain him in Beijing, so he pretended to be seriously ill and did not leave the fiefdom. At the same time, he asked Zuo Tiancheng to send Longyi Gong to Beijing as soon as possible to express his respect for Yang Guang.

This approach seems to be smart, but in fact it is equivalent to tearing his face with Yang Guang in person.

The officials were already aware of the danger.

I feel that it won't be long before there will be a purge against Yang Xiu.

They are afraid of being implicated, and many of them are starting to think about how to save themselves.

Of course.

There are also people who don't know the current affairs and want to help Yang Xiu tide over the difficulties.

Kaifu and Yitong Sansi Qingcheng are the officials designated by Yang Jian to assist Yang Xiu, but although he has a position, it is indeed a false position, so he has always hoped that Yang Xiu can become the emperor and gain real power himself.

At this moment, he felt that there was both a crisis and an opportunity in front of him, so he explained his guess to Yang Xiu and suggested: "Your Highness, depending on what you see, it is better to start with King Song's cousin Qin Qiong." ”

"Qin Qiong?"

"Yes, he used to be the head catcher in Licheng and has a lot of experience in handling cases. You might as well recruit him to investigate the case of Long Yigong, and within one month, he will be able to get the stolen goods from the Xiangma people...... Then fabricate some evidence that Qin Qiong colluded with Xiangma. If he can solve the case, he will say that the ringing horses that Qin Qiong caught are for the dead ghosts, in order to cover up the fact that he broke the law; If he can't solve the case, say that he deliberately shielded his accomplices. ”

Yang Xiu was greatly moved after hearing this, but he still hesitated: "But Liu Wen is not easy to deal with......

"Your Highness, no matter how powerful Liu Wen, the king of Song, can only stay in Songzhou, and dare to lead troops to your fiefdom to find trouble? And as long as the basin is buckled on Qin Qiong, then through rumors, the matter of robbing the dragon clothes and tribute can be placed on Liu Wen and Qin Qiong. At that time, Yang Guang will not dare to take the initiative to attack you. Your Highness, please contact the King of Chu in Yangzhou again, and raise troops with him, at least you can divide the world equally. ”

Qingcheng's words made Yang Xiu's careful thinking ready to move.

Someone did not forget to pour cold water and said: "Your Highness, now that Qin Qiong is already a partial general under the command of the Jinan Jiedu Envoy, and this case solving is no longer under his control." If you want to mobilize him, it doesn't make sense at all. ”

Qing Cheng said: "What are you afraid of? Doesn't it mean that Qin Qiong makes friends like Meng Wei, and has friends all over the world? Let's persecute his friends first, and then let these people beg Qin Qiong to come out of the mountain. ”

Yang Xiu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Good! Do as you say! ”

Many officials sighed secretly: You are still happy, this bad idea given to you by Qingcheng is simply self-defeating. Forget it, you don't have any kindness to us, let's draw a line between the bridge and the road in the future.

A few days later, Yang Xiu's warrant was sent to the yamen of various prefectures and counties in Shandong, ordering them to visit the horse that had robbed Longyigong and arrest the thief within a month. If you can't solve the case within the time limit, you will be guilty of the same crime as Xiangma.

At the same time, it is deliberately difficult for a group of Qin Qiong's friends.

These people only felt that a catastrophe was coming, and after being dialed, they all cried and wiped their tears to find Qin Qiong for help.

This one said: "Second Brother Qin, save us, we are old and young, if this case can't be solved, our family will suffer." ”

The one said: "Second master, this case solving is as simple as eating and drinking water for you, so you can agree......"

These people are begging and deceiving.

Qin Qiong was soft-hearted, she really couldn't shirk it, and thought: Why don't I visit and ask, if it is the second brother's person, I will say that Xiangma has already left, and there is no way to check it, and when the time comes, just find a borrower. If not, then arrest and help these friends get through this.

Qin Qiong didn't know what the plan was, and visited all the way after receiving the order.

Slowly, he felt that ordinary Xiangma would definitely not be able to do such a big case.

After all, it was Zuo Tiancheng, the marshal of the Golden Sword Palace, who robbed it.

Even You Junda, the leader of Qian Lvlin on the East Road, did not have such ability.

As for the current leader, Li Ying, Qin Qiong had never dealt with her, and he couldn't stop worrying about his strength, so he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

After arriving in Pingyin, Qin Qiong felt that it was better to visit You Junda first to see if there was any reliable news from him, so he rode a yellow horse to Wunanzhuang.

You Junda has been restless all day long since he robbed the emperor, and he has already arranged eyeliner around Wunanzhuang. Hearing that Qin Qiong was coming to Wunanzhuang, he said that he was going to suffer this time, so he hurriedly discussed it with Liu Wen and Li Ying.

As for Cheng Yanjin, You Junda felt that he was a bad person, and he didn't want him to know some important things.

When Liu Wen heard the news that Qin Qiong was coming, he smiled and said: "Don't worry about Lord You, I have a good relationship with Qin Shubao, when he comes, you let us meet alone, naturally there is a way to persuade him to go back." ”

You Junda was stunned when he heard this.

Although he didn't know what medicine he bought in the gourd, he had no other way but to follow what Liu Wen said.

It didn't take long for the porter to come in and report: "Owner, Uncle Qin asks to see you." ”

When You Junda heard this, he hurriedly went out to welcome Qin Qiong into the village, and then took him to the cross-courtyard where Liu Wen was.

Qin Qiong couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her cousin here.

Liu Wen didn't wait for him to speak, he laughed first, hugged his fists and saluted: "Second Brother Qin, Gao Fang is polite." ”

Qin Qiong immediately understood, and returned the salute with a smile: "Brother Gao Fang, I really didn't expect to see you here." At the same time, I also understood in my heart that nine percent of the things about Longyi Gong were related to my cousin.

You Junda saw that they were indeed very familiar, and said with a smile: "Let's talk slowly first, I still have some things to arrange in the village." "After leaving the courtyard, he instructed the dealer that no one should come here to disturb him.

When they were far away, Liu Wencai asked, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”

"Alas!" Qin Qiong sighed and told her about being asked by her friend to take over the order to investigate the case.

When Liu Wen heard this, he immediately understood:

This is Yang Xiu's desire to frame this incident on his cousin. Otherwise, Shandong has experience in solving cases and arrests much faster, why do you have to pick a cousin to solve this case?

After thinking about this matter, Liu Wen sighed: "Cousin, you shouldn't get involved in this troubled water." ”

"Cousin, what does this mean?"

"Do you know who sent me to rob this dragon cloth?"

Qin Qiong was stunned when she heard this.

The only person in the world who can dispatch Liu Wen is the current emperor.

Seeing that his cousin understood, Liu Wen sighed: "If you really solve the case, can the emperor let you go?" If you can't break it, you just fell for Yang Xiu's calculations, and he will definitely send people to publicize it with great fanfare, saying that you cooperated with the emperor and me to perform this scene of robbing the dragon and Yigong together. ”

Liu Wen shook his head: "Cousin, cousin, you are righteous, you really didn't say it." But this time, you're in a dilemma, and you've been miserable by your friends! ”
