Chapter 247: Wang Fa
This week's Ruqing ......
Could it be that you are crazy?
Standing in front of the sealed Wangjiang Tower, Sun Shaozong frowned and groaned for a while, then turned around and returned the same way.
On the ninth day of the first month, the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion and the Inspectorate of the Inspectorate searched and arrested in all directions.
In two days, more than a dozen wealthy gentry in the city were taken down, and two or three officials were mixed in among them, according to the news that Sun Shaozong heard, it seemed that they were all in charge of money and food.
This posture is not like a search for criminals, but more like taking advantage of the opportunity to collect money!
But seeing that he is about to die, is there any use in making all this floating wealth?
Wait a minute!
Sun Shaozong suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the wharf that had been depressed due to the ban, and saw countless large and small ships, densely docked on the shore, the most conspicuous of which was naturally the three 'banwu warships' of the North Korean mission.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the board house warship, and then turned to the other big ships, although most of them were inland ships, but there were not a few who could go to sea and ocean, and with a cursory sweep, he saw at least a dozen of them.
And that's just as far as the eye can see......
Sun Shaozong's brows furrowed even tighter, slowly retracted his gaze, and walked towards the inn again.
The book is not too much to say.
But he said that Sun Shaozong returned to the inn where he stayed, and was thinking about whether to order something to eat and ask Xiao Er to send it to the East Cross Courtyard, or simply use it in this hall, when he heard the noise in the West Cross Courtyard.
A high-pitched voice shouted, "Why are you arresting me?!" Although I am a colleague of Cangzhou Mansion, the lion dance team was not invited by me! ”
Then there was a yin and yang weird voice: "Lord Xiang, we are also acting on orders, if there are any grievances, it will not be too late to shout when you arrive in the prison of the company." ”
Tut~
The officers and soldiers of the Procuratorial Department actually came here to arrest people!
Listening to this meaning, it seems that it is still Cangzhou Mansion and Xiang Yi who are arrested.
Although this person Sun Shaozong was not familiar with, he vaguely remembered that since he came to Jinmen Mansion, he had been staying in the inn and rarely went out, and even when he went out, he always traveled with other people.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong simply went to the West Cross Courtyard, and when he got to the door and looked inside, he saw that several officers and soldiers were surrounding Xiang Yi, but the leader was not someone else, it was Ge Yan, the captain of Zhou Ruqing's personal army.
It turned out that it was not a soldier of the Inspectorate, but a personal soldier of the Governor's Palace.
Seeing that those few pro-soldiers couldn't help but say, they came up and stretched out their hands to tear them, Cangzhou Mansion and Xiang Yi's face flushed, and he said angrily: "I have a clear conscience, and I have never been like some people, who have been poked in the sore spot and bitten like a mad dog!" Why did I go to the prison with you?! ”
These words are clearly aimed at Zhou Ruqing!
When Ge Yan heard this, his originally smiling face suddenly sank.
stepped forward and pushed that Xiang Yi to a stagger, and scolded in his mouth: "What are you, you dare to insult the master of Taiwan!" I see that the mastermind behind the scenes, even if it is not you, must be inseparable from you, and he will tie me up! ”
"Okay!"
Several officers and soldiers immediately untied the ropes from their waists, stepped forward and pressed Xiang Yi's shoulders, and they were about to tie him up!
"Stop! I'm an official of the imperial court! I'm a dignified five! That Xiang Yi struggled excitedly: "Without any real evidence, how dare you abuse lynching against this official?!" Isn't there a royal law in this Jinmen Mansion?! ”
"Wang Fa?"
Ge Yan sneered, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said with a big stab: "In this Jinmen Mansion, our Governor's Mansion is the king's law!" ”
As he spoke, the horsewhip in his hand swung suddenly, and he slashed his head and face.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xiang Yi had to bow his head and cover his face, preparing to resist this whip with a heavenly spirit cover.
It's just that he bared his teeth and waited for a while, but the pain never came.
Xiang Yi looked up suspiciously, only to see that the horsewhip was hanging in the air, and it was being tightly clenched by a fist the size of an vinegar bowl!
Then I looked up along the fist, and a young face with Chinese characters also came into view.
Xiang Yi couldn't help but blurt out: "Sun Zhizhong?!" ”
This suddenly stopped Ge Yan, and it was naturally Sun Shaozong.
He didn't talk to Xiang Yi either, he only sneered at Ge Yan with a calm face: "I don't know what you just said, is it your own meaning, or what Zhou Zhitai meant?" ”
Ge Yan held the horsewhip in both hands and pulled it desperately, but it was as futile as a dragonfly shaking a tree.
Sun Shaozong, who was listening, opened his mouth to question, he simply let go of the horsewhip in annoyance, pulled out half of the waist knife with a bang, and said: "Why, does Sun Zhizhong want to disobey the order of the governor?" If not, get out of the way of me, otherwise I, Ge Yan, will recognize you, but this steel knife will not! ”
Sun Shaozong pinched the horsewhip in his palm with his backhand, waved it like a fly, and said: "Since you are also acting on orders, then exit first, Lord Xiang is not firm here, you don't bother here, I will interrogate you clearly." ”
"You ......"
"What are you?"
Ge Yangang glared, and Sun Shaozong first condescendingly reprimanded: "This official is ordered to cooperate with the division to investigate this case, so he naturally has the right to interrogate any suspect, do you want to disobey the order of the governor?" ”
This move used the way of others to govern others, but it choked Ge Yan enough, and Sun Shaozong's eyes were wide and wide-eyed, and he finally stomped his feet and beckoned: "Let's go!" ”
Seeing that Ge Yan took the people away.
That Xiang Yi got rid of the servant's support at this time, and approached with a sneer, and said with some embarrassment: "Fang Cai is really thanks to Lord Sun's righteous words, otherwise he would be in the next ...... Alas~ Your Excellency the Governor is acting like this, which is really chilling. ”
This west courtyard is different from the east courtyard, it is a quadrangle courtyard pattern, not to mention that there are three or four families living in it, although they dare not approach at this time, but they are also secretly snooping in the corner.
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Xiang, in order to avoid another thing like Fang Cai, why don't you move to the East Cross Courtyard first and live with me?" ”
Xiang Yi was originally afraid of him, but now he listened to his invitation, but he couldn't ask for it.
On the one hand, he hurriedly agreed, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but whisper to the other acquaintances of the West Cross Courtyard, saying that they usually call brothers and sisters, but now they don't even dare to 'ask'.
While talking, the two of them went to the east courtyard first, and as for the luggage or something, naturally a servant was responsible for carrying it.
Seeing that there were no more eyes and ears for others in the four corners, Sun Shaozong immediately grabbed Xiang Yi and asked, "Lord Xiang, how many people can you trust and do things?!" ”
Xiang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know what Master Sun wants my people to do?" ”
"Naturally, it is to help me verify whether the inference in my heart is true!"
