Chapter 197: Scheming
Lu Jing made a detour to Dongshi Street, and saw that the two sides of the gate were drawing their swords and facing each other, lighting a little firelight, swaying in the autumn wind, swaying, the bright moon was shining, and the silver blade reflected bursts of cold light, and the cold hit people.
Lu Jing immediately came to Zhou Kun and Huang Yongzhong's side, and saw that the soldiers were all covered with blood that had not yet dried up, and knew that the two sides must have made another move just now.
After Lu Jing asked about the situation in front of him, he said in a low voice: "When we entered, those fake treasury bonds had been completely burned and the equipment had been smashed, and now only Yang Hong and those craftsmen have been caught. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two changed, Zhou Kun's expression was extremely ugly, and he hurriedly said, "What about those copperplate seals, can they be destroyed?" ”
Huang Yongzhong also stared at Lu Jing with a nervous expression, now that there is such a big movement and so much price to pay, if he only finds these irrelevant evidence, it will be difficult for him to explain to the emperor.
Lu Jing hurriedly reassured the two of them and said, "Don't worry, the two adults, the copper plate and seal have not been destroyed, the lower officials have already interrogated Yang Hong, and those things should be on Han Qi at this moment." ”
When the two of them heard this, their faces were happy, and it was good that the evidence was still there, and they glanced at Han Qi without a trace.
After Gu Zhou saw Lu Jing arrive, the three of them kept whispering there, Zhou Kun and Huang Yongzhong's expressions changed many times, and there were some drums in their hearts, so they persuaded: "One of you is an important minister of the court, and the other side is a noble and meritorious hero, so a stalemate is not a way, I don't think it is better like this, both of you have sent people to guard here, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and a few of you will return to the yamen with the general, waiting for the emperor's will, if the emperor orders after dawn, it is not too late to search again." ”
Zhou Kun knew that the evidence was on Han Qi, so it was naturally impossible for him to enter the yamen of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, so he refused without hesitation: "Hmph, if you wait until tomorrow, all the evidence will be destroyed, what is the use of searching at that time!" ”
Han Qi said angrily: "Old man, the master respects you and calls you Lord Zhou, but don't be ignorant, you keep saying that you want to arrest the master, dare to ask us what crime we have committed, I think you are clearly falsely preaching the holy decree and wantonly slandering." ”
Zhou Kun was not angered by Han Qi's words, and said with an unusually calm expression: "Whether the old man is acting on orders or not, you will naturally know after dawn, but you appeared here for no reason, disobeyed the order, and raised private soldiers to fight against the imperial court, the old man saw that you clearly wanted to plot misdeeds and intended to rebel." ”
Han Qi said angrily: "Old horseman, you dare to spew blood, I will never stop with you in this matter, when the ancestor of the family followed the ancestor to fight the world, your ancestor didn't know where to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and now he dares to say that I want to rebel, it's really ridiculous, to tell you, you literati can now enjoy high-ranking officials, all of them are fought hard by our ancestors." ”
Zhou Kun sneered: "Hehe, just say these words to you, the old man can convict you of treason, and dare to say that the world is fought by you, where do you put Emperor Taizu!" ”
"Fart, you dare to misinterpret the words of the master!" Han Qi shouted, raising the knife in his hand to find Zhou Kun desperately.
Gu Xuan hurriedly hugged him and persuaded him to calm down.
After Han Qi calmed down his anger, he scolded: "Now the master has no time to talk nonsense with you, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame the master for being unkind, brothers!" ”
"In!" The guards behind Han Qi shouted loudly.
"Rush me after three breaths!" Han Qi commanded loudly.
"No!" The guards shouted in unison.
Zhou Kun sneered: "You are scared to be an old man, you can leave if you want to, just let the old man search, if there is no problem, you can leave." ”
Han Qi said angrily: "Old man, you dare to insult me, my father is a super-grade earl, and I am also a five-grade dragon forbidden lieutenant, what is your identity, you dare to search my body!" ”
Seeing that Han Qi was so angry, Zhou Kun concluded that those things were on him, and planned to continue to provoke him, so he smiled and said: "I see that you are obviously a thief, and you don't dare to let the old man search, for fear that the old man will find out the evidence of your rebellion." ”
Han Qi's face was pale, and he sneered: "Joke, what evidence of rebellion can the master have, if you can say it, otherwise I will definitely pull you to the emperor to theorize!" ”
"Do you know if you search for it, the old man sees that you are in such a hurry to leave, I'm afraid I want to go back and destroy the evidence!" Zhou Kun continued to mock.
"Fart, the master wants to search your body, are you willing!" Han Qi said angrily.
Zhou Kun smiled when he heard this: "That's fine, the old man will be out of the way, if you want to search the old man's body, just come and search!" ”
Han Qi was suddenly a little speechless, and Zhou Kun continued to use words to stimulate him when he saw this, making Han Qi further angry and fall into his trap.
Not long after the two exchanged words, Han Qi said angrily: "Okay, good, good, the master will be released today, if you find something, you will kill yourself to apologize to the master, do you dare to respond?" ”
Lu Jing had been observing Gu Guan, and seeing that his face was indifferent, watching Han Qi fall into Zhou Kun's trap little by little, he didn't react much, let alone stop the matter, and immediately noticed that this matter was different.
Gu Xuan and Han Qi have always been not far apart, if those things have been transferred to Gu Xuan, Han Qi's reaction like this, wouldn't he be planning a plan.
In this way, Han Qi's anger was an illusion, and he wanted to induce Zhou Kun, but seeing that Zhou Kun was about to open his mouth to agree, he hurriedly said tentatively: "The two noble statuses, how can they suffer such a great humiliation, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it, in my opinion, this bet is still forgotten!" ”
When Zhou Kun heard this, he immediately looked at Lu Jing in surprise, not understanding why he would stop him.
Han Qi was furious, and after a moment of acquiescence, he looked at Lu Jing with some surprise, and shouted: "Presumptuous, how can you interject when we speak, Zhou Pifu, if you don't want to be a shrinking turtle like your ancestors, just bet with the master?" ”
Zhou Kun was furious when he heard Han Qi insulting his ancestor, but after calming down his anger, he also had doubts, whether Han Qi had no fear, or made a heavy bet to force himself, he couldn't see through this person for a while, and looked at Lu Jing busily.
Lu Jing shook his head and motioned to Zhou Kun not to agree, Han Qi could be entrusted with a heavy task by the King of Beijing, how could he be a straw bag without a city, everything he showed just now should be a disguise.
Now it seems that those things are very likely to be no longer on Han Qi, and he secretly said that he was lucky, if it wasn't for Gu Xuan revealing his flaws, it would be difficult for him to find out, otherwise even if he arrested Han Qi, he wouldn't be able to find anything.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing changed the topic and said: "I think the proposal of the commander Gu just now is very good, everyone is tired all night, we might as well go to the yamen of the Terracotta Division to sit down." ”
After speaking, Lu Jing whispered to Guo Shun, telling him how to act, so that he was deliberately causing conflicts, looking for opportunities to get close to Gu Xuan as much as possible, and ripping off his people's clothes.
Although Guo Shun was puzzled, he agreed when he thought of Lu Jing's performance just now, so he said loudly: "Come on, come on, I'll bet with you, isn't it just a life, Lao Tzu can afford to gamble!" As he spoke, he snatched a torch and walked towards Han Qi.
Han Qi was really angry this time, pointed at Guo Shun and scolded angrily: "What is your identity, you dare to move the master, the master plucks the hairs, and he is more noble than you." ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately signaled his subordinates to step forward and teach Guo Shun a lesson.
Guo Shun took advantage of Han Qi's distraction, quickly threw the torch in his hand at Han Qi, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and beat these sons of bitches!" ”
Han Qi didn't expect Guo Shun to move his hand without warning, but he couldn't dodge, and was hit by the torch, and his hair immediately burned.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Guo Shun relied on his kung fu to break through the crowd, came to Gu Xuan's side, and started with Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan's subordinates saw that the master was going to make a move, and they also started to move, and for a while, the three parties fought together again, due to the narrow space, the three parties were entangled with each other, and they couldn't distinguish between the enemy and me, and they only knew that they were fighting in a chaotic manner.
During the fight, Guo Shun deliberately tore off his clothes, and sure enough, he touched a hard object on his chest, and immediately ripped his shirt open, revealing the copperplate seals and other objects in it, and punched him in the face, tearing Gu Zhou's clothes.
Seeing that the copperplate had landed, Gu Guan, Han Qi and others suddenly became nervous and hurriedly rushed to pick it up.
Guo Shun rolled on the spot, grabbed the copperplate, and quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Lu Jing hurriedly shouted for everyone to stop, and as more and more people stopped, the scene gradually quieted down.
Zhou Kun and Huang Yongzhong immediately stepped forward, asked people to bring the torch closer, took the copperplate in Guo Shun's hand, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I said that how could Commander Gu be so protective of Han Qi, it turned out to be the same party." ”
Gu Xuan saw that the matter was revealed, and he had the intention to kill a few people in front of him, but he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when people approached, he saw that it was Liu Di, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and knew that he could not turn the tide of the battle, so he had to give up resistance and tie his hands.
Zhou Kun hurriedly stepped forward and told Liu Di the cause and effect of the incident.
After Liu Di heard this, he ordered someone to take Gu Zhou, Han Qi and others away.
Zhou Kun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to enter the Yang Mansion to search for the rest of the evidence.
Everything was arranged, Zhou Kunfang showed a scared look, and said with great gratitude: "Thanks to the virtuous nephew who stopped the old man just now, otherwise the old man would not only lose face, but even his life may not be saved." ”
Huang Yongzhong also sighed: "Fortunately, you found the abnormality between the two of them, otherwise we would have returned in vain this trip." ”
Lu Jing hurriedly said modestly: "The two adults praised it falsely, the lower officials just did what they should do, if you really want to talk about it, this matter is thanks to the two adults, if it weren't for Lord Zhou arriving in time to prevent them from destroying the evidence, and delaying time, even if we search, we won't find anything." If there was no support from Lord Huang to attract their attention and buy time for the lower officials, it would be difficult for the lower officials to find out that they had brought the evidence with them. ”
The three of them praised each other again, their faces showed a sense of relaxation, although the whole process tonight was thrilling and twists and turns, but they gained a lot, not only found evidence, caught Han Qi on the spot, but also added a Gu Xuan who held the military power, so that they could explain to the emperor.
Lu Jing glanced at Liu Di without a trace, and fell into deep thought, Liu Di came too coincidentally, as if he had come to help a few of his people, and he was more and more sure that the matter of fake national bonds had nothing to do with the emperor.
